Remember the slope-intercept form for the equation of a line. Remember the standard form of a line. Use algebra to isolate the appropriate variable. Reorder the variables and constants, if necessary.

You can use diamonds to automatically research and build things instead of having to wait an allotted amount of time. This can level you up much faster and increase your progress through the game. Limit the amount that you do this so that you can stock up on diamonds as you play through the game. The longer that you play the game, the longer things take to build and the more useful diamonds become, so it's good to have a supply of them. Do not waste diamonds during the early stages of the game. You can also purchase diamonds with real money. Your character starts with 30 diamonds initially. After that, you'll gain one or two diamonds per level. This will be used as your main source of diamonds, so spend them sparingly. You can also get diamonds by purchasing them with real money. If you login to Hay Day using your Facebook account, you'll get an automatic five more diamonds to start off with. Connecting your account to Facebook will also let you see your Facebook friend's farms. Purple tickets will occasionally show up next to the newspaper icon. Clicking these tickets will allow you to watch a 30-second game trailer. If you complete the trailer, you'll earn diamonds. As you play through the game there are different landmarks that you can achieve in order to gain more free diamonds. Achievements include completing 2,000 truck deliveries, helping visitors who come to your farm, and placing ads in newspapers. Your character can start mining at level 24. Unlocking the mine costs 26,000 coins. You can use shovels, dynamite, or TNT to reveal different ore and diamonds from the mine. Click on the mine, then click on the tool that you want to use to extract the diamonds. Getting diamonds through mines is relatively rare, so you may have to use your mine multiple times before you get any diamonds. You can ask Tom to look for mining materials, or you can purchase them at roadside shops.  Tom is the farmhand that you unlock at level 14. You can make him search for any items in the game that you need. After an initial 3...

TL;DR in English: Use your diamonds sparingly. Keep leveling up. Login using your Facebook account. Click the purple ticket and watch a game trailer. Complete an achievement to earn a diamond. Earn diamonds through mining. Open a mystery box to gain diamonds.

A small tree will cost about $70. Even if it starts out small, your tree will yield fruit in 1 to 2 years, depending on when you are able to plant it.   If your local nursery doesn’t carry finger lime trees, they will most likely be happy to order one for you. All you have to do is ask! If you cannot obtain a finger lime tree locally, you can order one from an online nursery. Most often, a soil that contains sand will drain well. Finger limes can grow in a wide range of soil—the most important thing to is make sure it won’t be sitting in stagnant water.  Soil with a pH of 5-7 is recommended for finger limes. When you buy soil, the bag will indicate what the pH level is. If you are uncertain, ask someone at your local nursery for advice. You can order finger lime seeds from your local nursery or online, but keep in mind that most trees take up to 15 years to mature to the point of producing fruit.   If you do opt to plant seeds, make sure to use fresh ones. Even with fresh seeds, the finger lime tree is slow to grow and seedlings have a low success rate.    Plant seeds in a cell tray with drains about 2 inches (51 mm) deep in the soil. Use your finger to make the hole, then drop a seed into it. Cover it back up with soil. Keep in bright sun (or under a sun lamp) and water every 3-4 days, keeping the soil moist. Once seeds start to sprout, you can replant them in individual pots. Continue moving the seedlings to larger and larger pots as they grow. Places like California and Australia (the native land of the finger lime) have good year-long climates for outdoor citrus plants, in the 60–90 °F (16–32 °C) range. This tree does well in partial shade to direct sunlight.    Dig a hole in the ground deep enough for the roots of the tree. Place the tree in the hole and fill in the remaining area with additional soil. You want the tree to be able to stand on its own.   The finger lime tree makes a good hedge and the leaves will grow flat against a wall or lattice.   Avoid windy locations when planting your tree. The...

TL;DR in English: Buy a finger lime tree from a local nursery to harvest fruit next season. Use well-draining soil to prevent your tree from growing root mold. Sow seeds if you are interested in studying growth patterns. Plant your tree outdoors if you live in a warm climate. Pot your finger lime tree if you live in an area that gets cold in the winter.

Panic attacks are the result of your body responding to a perceived trauma or threat. However, a pattern of panic attacks occurs due to the individual’s anxiety related to the actual panic attack and his fear that the attack will be painful or harmful. This fear leads to increased anxiety, which can trigger another panic attack. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based treatment for panic attacks, focuses on changing thoughts in order to alter your feelings (both physiological and psychological) and actions. Ironically, the fear of having a panic attack can lead to more panic attacks. Your fear of having a panic attack is directly related to your thoughts about having an attack. If you change your thoughts to more realistic evaluations, then you can prevent or lessen future attacks by reducing your anxiety and fear.  It is important to de-catastrophize the effects of a panic attack. Instead of thinking, “I’m having a heart attack, or I feel like I’m going to die,” change this thought to, “I am okay, I’m just having a panic attack, and it will pass.” Use a panic attack thought record sheet in order to track your thoughts and actively change them in order to reduce future panic. Go to www.getselfhelp.co.uk/docs/PanicThoughtRecord.pdf. Allowing fears (especially worries about having a panic attack) to build up can increase the severity and frequency of panic attacks. Thus, reducing your fears by facing them head-on could alleviate panic because instead of avoiding the issue you are dealing with it appropriately. This helps to alleviate some of the anxiety that usually builds up and causes an attack. Instead of suppressing your fears or hoping they will go away, deal with them in a straight-forward manner.  Label your fear. As you feel fear coming on assign a number to it from 1 to 10. Your fear likely won't stay at a high number for long, so as the number decreases you can feel more relieved. When you fear failure, try new things you've been afraid to do in the past. If you fear social situations,...

TL;DR in English: Realize that trying to avoid the attack is part of the problem. Understand that the panic attack will pass and it will not kill you. Face your fears. Accept emotions in general. Focus on what you can control.

In general, family therapy is useful in dealing with problems that arise in family relationships. However, there are different focuses. Family therapists can help parents cope with a child who acts out, for example, or improve spouses’ person-to-person communication. The type that’s best for you largely depends on your needs.  Are you dealing with an at-risk child? There are family therapies that focus on kids and adolescents who show behavioral problems, delinquency, or substance abuse. Does a family member have a drug or alcohol problem that is affecting the group? This can be another focus of therapy. There are also family therapists who work on marriages or help families cope when a member has a severe physical or mental illness. Your primary care doctor should be able to refer you to a therapist, if you express the desire to see one. You might also get advice from another medical professional like a psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker, or nurse. Just ask. They should be able to give you advice, suggest names, and to help you find someone in your area.  Ask plenty of questions about potential therapists. What are his or her training and credentials, for example? Are they licensed and do they specialize in family psychotherapy? Ask too about location, availability, and format. How long is each family counseling session? How many sessions are usual? Is the therapist available in emergencies? Inquire about cost and insurance, as well. How much does the therapist charge per session? Does she require full fees paid up front? Will she accept payment from your insurance provider? Check online for family therapists and family therapy resources, too. Start with a general search in your area, like on Google, i.e. “Family therapists in Baltimore,” but don’t neglect other specialized search engines. There are a number of therapy websites with special tools to find practitioners around the country.  Psychology Today hosts a Therapy Group search engine on its website, for instance. You can search your locality...

TL;DR in English: Decide what kind of program you need. Talk to a doctor. Search the internet. Ask local organizations. Learn about the methods of therapy.

The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b{\displaystyle y=mx+b}, where y{\displaystyle y} equals the y-coordinate of a point on the line, x{\displaystyle x} equals the x-coordinate of that same point, m{\displaystyle m} equals the slope of the line, and b{\displaystyle b} equals the y-intercept. The standard form is Ax+By=C{\displaystyle Ax+By=C}, where x{\displaystyle x} and y{\displaystyle y} are the coordinates of a point on the line, A{\displaystyle A} is a positive integer, and B{\displaystyle B} and C{\displaystyle C} are integers. Use inverse operations to move variables from one side of the equation to the other side. Remember to keep the equation balanced, which means that whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must also do to the other side. For example, you might have the equation of a line 3x+2y=4{\displaystyle 3x+2y=4}. This is in standard form. If you need to find the y-intercept of the line, you need to rearrange the formula to slope-intercept form by isolating the y{\displaystyle y} variable: Subtract 3x{\displaystyle 3x} from both sides of the equation:3x+2y−3x=4−3x{\displaystyle 3x+2y-3x=4-3x}2y=4−3x{\displaystyle 2y=4-3x}. Divide both sides by 2{\displaystyle 2}:2y2=4−3x2{\displaystyle {\frac {2y}{2}}={\frac {4-3x}{2}}}y=4−3x2{\displaystyle y={\frac {4-3x}{2}}} If you are changing an equation to slope-intercept or standard form, rearrange the variables, coefficients, and constants so that they follow the correct formula. For example, to change y=4−3x2{\displaystyle y={\frac {4-3x}{2}}} to the correct slope-intercept formula, you need to switch the order of the number in the numerator, then simplify:y=−3x+42{\displaystyle y={\frac {-3x+4}{2}}}y=−32x+2{\displaystyle y={\frac {-3}{2}}x+2}Now, since the formula is in proper slope-intercept form, it is easy to identify the y-intercept as 2.

Ensure that all parties have the capacity to enter a contract. Do not attempt to write a contract for something illegal. Do not coerce someone into entering a contract. Avoid fraudulent claims or terms within the contract.

First apply soap or soapy water to the patient's skin. Scrub it gently with a washcloth to remove dirt and bacteria, then place the washcloth in the soapy basin. Dip a second washcloth into the rinsing basin and use it to rinse away the soap. Pat the area dry with a towel.  Remember to rotate between the two washcloths: use one for soaping and one for rinsing. If the cloths become soiled, switch to clean ones. Replace the water in the basins as necessary. Gently wash the patient's face, ears and neck with soapy water. Rinse away the soap with a separate washcloth. Dry the cleansed area with a towel. Gently lift their head into the shampooing basin. Wet the hair by pouring water over the patient's head, taking care not to get it in their eyes. Apply shampoo, then rinse it away. Pat the hair dry with a towel. Fold over the sheet on the left side of the body down to the hip. Place a towel beneath the exposed arm. Wash and rinse the patient's shoulder, underarm, arm and hand. Dry the wet areas with a towel.  Dry the washed areas thoroughly, especially the underarm, to prevent chafing and bacteria growth. Recover with the sheet to keep the patient warm. Fold over the sheet to expose the right side. Place the towel beneath the other arm and repeat, washing, rinsing and drying the right shoulder, underarm, arm and hand.  Dry the washed areas thoroughly, especially the underarm, to prevent chafing and bacteria growth. Recover with the sheet to keep the patient warm. Fold the sheet down to the waist and gently wash and rinse the chest, stomach and sides. Be sure to wash carefully among any folds in the patient's skin, since bacteria tends to get trapped there. Dry the torso carefully, especially among the folds. Recover the patient with the sheet to keep the patient warm. Uncover the patient's right leg up to the waist, and wash, rinse and dry the leg and foot. Recover the right leg and uncover the left, then wash, rinse and dry the leg and foot. Recover the lower half of the body.

TL;DR in English: Use the same cleansing and rinsing method for the whole body. Start with the patient's face. Wash the patient's hair. Wash the patient's left arm and shoulder. Wash the patient's right arm and shoulder. Wash the patient's torso. Wash the patient's legs.

Take your fabric pieces and separate them. Then, take one piece and fold it in half lengthwise so that the inseam of the leg is matching up and the printed side of the fabric is on the inside. Place pins along the inseam of the leg, but do not pin past the crotch area on the legging piece. After you pin up the inseam on one piece, do the same with the other piece. When you have finished pinning both of the legging pieces along the inseam, use a sewing machine to sew a zigzag stitch along the pinned areas. Sew about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from the edge of the inseam. Do not sew past the crotch area.  Remove the pins as you sew. Trim off the excess threads when you are done. After you finish sewing both leg pieces along the inseams, turn one of the leg pieces right side out. Then, insert this piece into the piece that still has the print side on the inside. The pieces should be aligned so that their waistbands match up and the bottom of the legs are even. Make sure the seams are all lined up as well. With one pant leg inside the other, sew along the crotch area going from one side of the waistband to the other. This will connect the 2 pant legs and create the seam for the crotch. Trim off any excess threads when you finish sewing. Turn the pants right side out. Then, pin the end of the elastic strip so that it is lined up with the edge of the waistband on the back side of the pants. Make sure that the elastic is on the inside of the waistband, not on the printed side. Sew a zigzag stitch along the top edge of the elastic to secure it in the waistband. Tug on the elastic slightly as you sew to ensure that it will create a snug waistband. Sew all the way around the waistband so that the elastic overlaps by about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm).  Make sure not to sew over the pin and remove the pin when you are done sewing. Trim off any excess threads. After you sew the elastic strip into the waistband, cut off any excess elastic and discard it. Then, fold the waistband over into the pants to hide the raw (cut) edge of the...

TL;DR in English: Pin along the inseam of the leg. Sew along the inseam. Insert one leg into the other. Sew around the edge of the crotch seam. Sew the elastic into the waist. Fold over the elastic and sew around the edge. Hem the bottom of the leggings.

In order to do a vigorous-intensity workout, you’ve got to work pretty hard. Whichever activity you choose should make you sweat, elevate your heart rate, and make you think, “wow, this is tough!” Work out for a minimum of 30 minutes at least 3 times per week. This type of exercise has been shown to significantly reduce inflammation. Examples of vigorous activities include going for a run or a fast bike ride, swimming laps, doing aerobic dancing, or hiking uphill. If you’ve never really exercised before or have a condition that keeps you from doing vigorous activity, go for a lighter workout that lasts at least 30 minutes. Even moving a little bit each day will help bring down your inflammation. Push yourself until you feel like you’ve reached the point of, “ok, this is hard, but I’m not struggling yet.” Go for a walk around the block at a brisk pace or sign up for a water aerobics class. Yoga nidra is a type of yoga practice that involves suspending yourself between wakefulness and sleep. It should help you feel complete mental and physical relaxation. In at least 1 study, doing this activity significantly reduced elevated ESR levels. To do yoga nidra:  Lie flat on your back on a mat or other comfortable surface. Listen to the voice of your yoga instructor (download an app or find an audio recording or video if you can’t find a yoga studio that offers this practice). Allow your breath to flow naturally in and out of your body.  Do not move your body during the practice. Allow your mind to float from point to point, staying aware without concentrating. Achieve “sleep with a trace of awareness.” These foods contain a harmful type of cholesterol (LDL) that can cause inflammation in the body. This inflammation may also raise your ESR level. In particular, avoid french fries and other fried food, white bread, pastries, soda, red and processed meat, and margarine or lard. These options all form the basis of a healthy diet, along with lean meats like chicken and fish. There are also some specific...

TL;DR in English: Perform vigorous exercise regularly if you’re able to. Use light to moderate exercise as an alternative. Do 30 minutes of yoga nidra each day. Avoid processed, sugary foods. Consume fruits, veggies, nuts, and healthy oils. Add herbs like oregano, cayenne, and basil to your cooking. Drink plenty of fluids each day.

There are literally hundreds of diets and weight-loss schemes on the market promising quick weight loss in short periods of time. These can be unsafe, unhealthy and hard to follow long-term.  Losing weight naturally is better for your overall health and you'll most likely keep your weight off long-term. Remember that there is no magical diet that's going to wipe away those pounds and keep them away once you're done with the diet. True, healthy weight-loss requires a lifestyle change and hard work.  This doesn't mean there aren't good things to be gleaned from certain weight-loss programs. Many of them do emphasize a healthy diet and exercise, but not many of them discuss real and continued lifestyle change. Studies have shown that if you're craving a treat, eating the fat-free, sugar free or "diet" versions may trigger you to eat more.  Many foods that are designed to be "diet-friendly" aren't necessarily lower in calories. In addition, when you take out the sugar or fat from items, companies replace them with highly processed ingredients. Stick to your portion control and eat a small portion of the real deal. So instead of the fat-free, sugar-free ice cream bar, have a 1/2 cup of high quality, real ice cream. You'll be more satisfied in the end.

TL;DR in English: Skip fad diets. Ditch diet foods.

At noon, the sun can point you in the general direction of north and south, and consequently east and west, but it will not tell you due north or due south. In the Northern Hemisphere, walking directly toward the sun at noon will lead you south, while walking directly away from the sun will lead you north. In the Southern Hemisphere, the opposite is true: toward the sun will lead you north, and away from the sun will lead you south. The sun rises in the general direction of east and sets in the general direction of west every day, so you can use the location of sunrise or sunset to get an approximate idea of direction. Face the sunrise and you are facing east; north will be on your left and south will be on your right. Face the sunset and you are facing west; north will be on your right and south will be on your left. The location of sunrise and sunset only provide an approximate idea of direction 363 days of the year, because the sun rises due east and sets due west only on the vernal and autumnal equinoxes (the first day of spring and fall). While using vegetation to determine direction isn’t an exact science or a precise method, oftentimes it can give you a basic idea of which direction’s which. Living north of the equator, the sun is usually in the southern part of the sky, and the opposite is true south of the equator. This means that leaves and foliage will tend to be thicker and denser on the southern side of a tree or bush. The opposite is true in the Southern Hemisphere, where vegetation will be more lush on the northern side. Many guidebooks will note that moss only grows on the north side of a tree in the Northern Hemisphere, but this is not true. However, while moss can grow on all sides of a tree, it is true that it will often be denser on the side that is shadier (the north in the Northern Hemisphere and the south in the Southern Hemisphere). The sun can be used in conjunction with a non-digital wristwatch to provide an approximate idea of the cardinal directions if you find yourself lost in the...

TL;DR in English: Look for the sun at noon. Use sunrise and sunset for approximate directions. Look at how vegetation is growing. Calculate direction with an analogue watch and the sun.

In order to enter into a contract, all parties involved must be legal adults (over the age of 18 in most states), of sound mind, and free of mental incapacity that precludes their understanding the content of the contract.   Some states allow minors to enter contracts with an adult co-signer, and some states may allow emancipated minors to sign their own contracts. Being of sound mind when entering a contract means that a person cannot be legally bound to a contract if she is intoxicated or otherwise impaired. A contract is not legal or enforceable if the goods or services in the contract are illegal. For example, you cannot contract someone into prostitution services in a state in which prostitution is illegal.  Similarly, you cannot have a contract involving the sale of an illegal substance, such as drugs. A contract becomes voidable if someone is coerced, threatened, or blackmailed into signing the contract.  All parties must enter the contract willingly and mindfully for the contract to be legal. Be sure that claims and conditions mentioned in the contract are not fraudulent.  Contracts based on fraudulent premises, whether or not the fraud was intentional, are not legally enforceable. For example, you cannot enter into a contract to sell your boat to your neighbor if you are not the rightful owner of the boat.  Claiming that the boat is yours when it isn’t constitutes fraud, and will void the contract altogether.

The unique marking of a female black widow spider is the bright red hourglass shape on the underneath part of its abdomen.  The female spider has a black and shiny body with a large and round abdomen. The body is about 1 and ½ inches in length, and the entire spider, legs and all, is more than 1 inch across. They have fangs that are a little shorter than those of other spiders, yet still long enough to penetrate human skin. Black widow spiders are reported to be commonly found in the southern and western regions of the United States. Other sources and statistics report frequent sightings as far west as California, all along the eastern seaboard, south to Florida, and north as far as Okanagan in BC and central Alberta in Canada. Black widows like to live outside where there are plenty of flies to feed on; however, they can be found inside structures and shelters.  They prefer undisturbed places such as woodpiles, under simulated rock well covers, the eaves of a house, around fences, and other areas where debris piles up. Watch for black widows in dark, moist, and undisturbed places like meter boxes, under porches, porch furniture, and inside and around barns and sheds. Black widow spiders like to make their webs between objects that are solid and stationary. Some spiders prefer to make their webs in locations that are more flexible, like between shrubbery and tree branches.  The black widow's webs are purposefully made in an irregular shape, not like the typical and sometimes practically perfect webs made by other spiders. The fibers of the web are stronger than those found in most spider webs. They don't prey on human skin. Most bites occur when their webs are disturbed. They are not aggressive but will bite when they feel trapped or are touched. The females have the classic markings and the more potent venom. If you are bitten by a female black widow, then you need prompt medical attention.  The body of a female is usually larger in size than a male black widow spider, however the legs of a male are often...

TL;DR in English: Identify the black widow spider without disturbing it. Spot possible places where they like to live. Try not to disturb the web. Differentiate the males from the females.

Another feng shui suggestion is to go with tan, copper, coral, cream, or similar feeling colors when painting and decorating the room. Light blues and greens work as well to create a feeling of calmness without making the room feel too dark.  Shades of blue are considered the most psychologically calming color to humans. Reds and pinks can promote romance, but they also have a restless feeling to them. Only use these colors for accents or small pieces that can be put away. Quality, organic (where possible) linens are ideal to sleep in. It will increase your desire to go to bed, and it will help prevent you from sweating or itching during sleep.  Choose linen or wool curtains to help with light, noise, and breezes. Make sure they match the color of the room, though. Pay attention to the curtain’s hanging hardware as well. The details and accents should blend cleanly into the environment so as not to draw notice. For example, use silver accents on a lighter colored wall, or if you have dark curtains, you might opt for black or bronze hardware. Plants bring a little piece of nature inside, and they can help clean the air at the same time. The transfer of carbon dioxide into fresh, clean oxygen will make the room feel more peaceful.  Popular zen plants include Bonsai trees, philodendron, Sansevieria, and succulents.  Do not forget to water and provide light per your plant’s instructions. The act of taking care of the plant itself can be a form of meditation. Opt for a plant that does not have a strong odor to it, as well. The extra scent may become distracting when you try to fall asleep. Clutter is chaos, and the same goes with wall-hangings or busy shelves. Instead, put your photos and busier artifacts in a living room to spark conversation.  Shelves to hold your plants or a simple tapestry can be appropriate additions that don’t draw too much attention or unnecessary energy. Do not hang mirrors in the room either. They create active energy that opposes the peaceful feeling of sleep. Hide them in a closet or...

TL;DR in English: Choose earth-tones or light blues and greens when decorating. Pick light and natural fabrics to use. Add a live plant to your room if you get sunlight. Keep decor to a minimum.

Keep your free hand around 6 inches (15 cm) away from the handle bars so you can easily grab them again when they come back around. Practice while you're standing still when you're first starting out. You'll have an easier time getting the motions down. Spin the handle bars 180 degrees, keeping your right hand on them as you spin them. Make sure you’re reaching under your right hand and not over it. Use your left hand to spin the handle bars this time, holding on to them as you spin them. Both of your hands should now be back on the handlebars in their original positions.

TL;DR in English: Take your left hand off the handle bars as you're riding the scooter. Lift the front wheel off the ground and spin the handle bars clockwise. Reach your left hand under your right hand and grab the handle bars. Release your right hand and spin the handlebars clockwise 180 degrees. Grab the handle bars with your right hand.

As soon as you notice your rabbit is in pain or injured, call the vet to let them know you're bringing in your injured rabbit. Tell the vet about your rabbit's condition and that you think its leg may be fractured. Ask the vet about giving your rabbit pain medications and what dosages they'd recommend. If your rabbit injures itself during your vet's off-hours, contact an emergency animal hospital.  If you don't already have a veterinarian, contact local animal hospitals or shelters. Ask if they can give medical treatment to your rabbit or recommend a vet that specializes in rabbits. If you do give your rabbit medication, track when you gave the medication and the dosage, especially if your rabbit needs surgery. When you call your vet, have the following information on hand:  Breed, age, and sex of the rabbit How long ago the injury happened How the injury happened Which leg you suspect is injured Any medications the rabbit has had and when How the rabbit seems to be doing (lethargic, stressed, calm, etc.) Avoid trying to splint or bandage the rabbit's leg. Instead, gently wrap your rabbit in a clean towel and put the rabbit in its carrier. Try to keep the rabbit calm and relaxed while you contact the veterinarian. Carefully hold the rabbit and talk to it in a low, soothing voice. If you try to bandage the leg, you may cause your rabbit pain or make the injury worse. The rabbit will need to have X-rays taken. The vet will also need to do a full physical and neurological exam to determine how badly the rabbit is injured. Your rabbit may need emergency treatment if it's in shock, is bleeding, or has breathing or heart problems. If the veterinarian determines that your rabbit will need surgical treatment (or even amputation), you'll need to schedule the procedure for as soon as possible. The veterinary surgeon will use pins or a wire to repair the bone. Your rabbit will probably need special care after the surgery. The majority of leg fractures will need some type of surgical treatment so the bones heal...

TL;DR in English: Contact the veterinarian about the injury. Wrap the rabbit in a towel. Take the rabbit for medical exams. Get surgery.

Some options include  shipping centers (in the U.S., this includes Fedex and UPS) places with memberships (such as Costco and AAA) Costco offers some of the cheapest passport photos. AAA will sometimes do it for free if you’ve booked a trip through their travel services.  pharmacies and retail stores (CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and Walmart all offer this service) professional photography studios passport offices (many offer this service, but not all, so call ahead) registered passport expediters (if you need it in under two weeks) in your own home (but be sure to follow the strict requirements) Give your hair a little time to get over that fresh cut look by planning a haircut in advance if you need one.  About a week or two should still leave your hair looking neat and tidy by picture time. Of course, if you want the fresh cut look and trust your stylist not to botch it, you can wait until the last minute. If you like to shape your eyebrows, it’s best to do it about a day in advance to get rid of any redness before the photo but not give strays enough time to return. You could also get them waxed if you want to shell out a few bucks for this special occasion.  If you find that the skin around your eyebrows gets red after you pluck them, try applying cool, wet tea bags or a bit of aloe. To prevent dark shadows under your eyes and redness in your eyes, try to get enough sleep for several days before you take your passport photo. This will also help brighten your skin and make you look healthier.

TL;DR in English: Decide where to get your picture taken. Get a haircut about one to two weeks in advance. Pluck your eyebrows if that’s your thing. Get enough sleep.

This is the ideal temperature for keeping meats safely frozen. The refrigerator freezer will work just fine. Avoid freezing large quantities of meat together, as it will slow down freezing process. Separate the pieces or bags to allow the meat to freeze faster. Once the meat is completely frozen, you can rearrange the layout of the freezer. If the meat doesn’t freeze quickly enough, ice crystals can form in the meat. These crystals contribute to freezer burn and to the loss of juices while the meat is thawing out. Your freezer should maintain a temperature of 0 degrees or lower at almost all times in order to keep the meat at its best. If you’re only freezing your meat for a short amount of time (a couple of weeks), it’s okay if the freezer’s temperature fluctuates a little from the door opening and closing. Just be sure to eat the meat quickly.

TL;DR in English: Place the wrapped meat in a freezer set at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Place the meat in the coldest area of freezer. Avoid opening and closing freezer repeatedly.

Douches and feminine sprays are marketed towards women as products that promote cleanliness. The vagina, however, is a self-cleaning part of your body. Stay away from these types of products if you have vaginal dryness, as they can worsen the problem. Plain warm water is enough to clean your vagina. Don’t use soap or other cleansers on the outside or inside of your vagina. Bubble bath, scented soaps and lotions, and laundry detergent can all worsen dryness because they contain harsh chemicals. Use plain, unscented products whenever possible. Try natural laundry detergent, and skip using dryer sheets. Public swimming areas contain high amounts of chlorine, which is very drying to your skin. Avoid spending a lot of time in pools and hot tubs, or at least rinse your vagina well with cool, plain water afterwards. Dehydration can contribute to vaginal dryness, so ensure you stay well hydrated throughout the day. Aim to drink 9 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids daily.  Drink more if you sweat a lot, work out, or live in a hot climate. Water, juice, and tea count towards your fluids. Get regular exercise to help keep your hormones in balance. Aerobic workouts are those that increase your heart rate and breathing rate. Walking, slow jogging, biking, and swimming are good options. Aim to get at least 30 minutes of aerobic activity at least 5 days per week. Omega-3 fatty acids and products like flaxseed oil and soy have estrogen-like qualities, which may help improve vaginal dryness. Eat fatty fish like salmon or mackerel several times per week, and incorporate soy products into your diet. You can also try taking oral probiotics to improve vaginal health. Find these as capsules at your pharmacy, or eat yogurt with live cultures. Nicotine dependence can cause or worsen vaginal dryness. Stop smoking now to help improve your symptoms. Some antidepressants, cold medicine, and allergy pills can dry out mucous membranes – including the sensitive skin in your vagina. Make a list of your medications to take to your doctor. Discuss...

TL;DR in English: Avoid douching and using personal hygiene sprays. Stick to plain, fragrance-free products. Be cautious of hot tubs and swimming pools. Stay hydrated. Exercise regularly. Eat good fats and soy. Quit smoking. Stop taking medications that worsen the condition.

Hold a section of your hair in front of your face and look at the ends to see if you can spot any frayed edges, splits, or small white spots where your hair has split. Once your hair starts to develop split ends, the breakage will travel up the strand of hair until you cut it, so you’ll need at least a trim to fix the problem.  Other signs of damage include dryness, frizz, or a straw-like appearance. The more damage your hair has, the shorter you’ll need to cut it. Fine, straight hair tends to look flat when you wear it long. Choosing a shorter cut will add body, making your hair look fuller and healthier. A layered pixie, choppy bob, or a piecey crop are all great ways to add volume. The shorter your hair is, the more lift it will appear to have. Short hair is low-maintenance, but you have to spend at least a few minutes styling it each day. If you’re the type to rely on a ponytail or a messy bun for days on end, a short hairstyle could be more work than you’re used to.  Short cuts also require more frequent trips to the salon. You’ll need a trim every 4-6 weeks rather than the 3 months or so you can go between trims if you have longer hair. If you already style your hair every day, a short cut can save you time during your daily routine! Of course, whether to cut your hair or not is a highly personal decision, but if you’re facing hair loss, cutting your hair short can make the process easier. Whether it’s due to heredity, chemotherapy, or another condition, short hair can make your hair loss less obvious as you go through the process.   The length you choose is up to you, but a close crop is often popular for people facing hair loss. Avoid shaving your head all the way down with a razor, especially if your hair loss is due to an illness. If you cut yourself while you're shaving, you may be at an increased risk for infection.

TL;DR in English: Examine the ends of your hair for split ends. Opt for a shorter cut if you have thin, limp hair. Leave enough for a ponytail if you don’t style your hair every day. Go for the big chop if you’re facing hair loss.

Of course, you're not always going to like everyone you work with, and you certainly aren't required to like them. However, it is important to treat the people in your workplace with respect and professionalism. Throwing fits or getting in arguments with people you don't like is unprofessional and will slow down the team's work significantly. Sometimes, you may want to rush to get certain tasks done. However, in a team environment, that can lead to mistakes or an ineffective work process because you're not taking the time to work with other people or communicate what you're getting done. Make sure to spend the proper amount of time to do your work well while working with others at the same time. When you're not in a team environment, your job description may be fairly well defined. In a team environment, you may need to jump in to help in areas that aren't exactly in your job description because someone else needs the help. Being willing to help out makes the group work more efficiently and builds good will.  In addition, jumping in when you see a need looks good to your boss, earning you brownie points, which is never a bad thing. Also, you may find yourself needing help in the future, and if you've given help in the past, others will be more willing to offer you help when you need it. If you're excited, you'll get others excited. When you're working together, that excitement can lead to better results, as you're all motivated to do your best on the projects you're working on. On the other hand, if you constantly criticize or talk down about a project, that can be catching, too, and it can bring a project down. For example, don't start out the day by saying, "I wish we didn't have to work through these ridiculous budget reports." Instead, you could say, "I know a budget report isn't everyone's cup of tea, but just think, going through these budget reports means we get the money we need to do the projects we love." Remember that no two people are alike, and that each team player has strengths, weaknesses,...

TL;DR in English: Be respectful. Take the time you need. Realize it's always your job. Show enthusiasm. Take time to get to know each of your peers. Don't steal credit.

Make sure that your computer is completely powered down before you work on the inside. Unplug it from the wall once it has been completely powered down. Your monitor is most likely connected to your old graphics card, so disconnect it from the back of your computer before removing the old card. Whenever you work inside of your computer, you should make sure that you're properly grounded. An electrostatic wriststrap attached to the bare metal of the case is the most convenient way to ground yourself when working in a computer. You can also ground yourself by touching a metal water tap with the water running. If you are upgrading, you'll need to remove your old graphics card before installing your new one. If you were using your motherboard's on-board graphics card, you may not have a card to remove.  Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screw that is securing the old card to the case. Unplug any cables connected to the old graphics card. Undo the latch underneath the back end of the old graphics card (PCIe). This latch helps secure the graphics card, so make sure to unlatch it before pulling the old card out. Gently pull the old card directly out of the slot. Pull the old card straight out of the slot. You may have to be firm, but don't force it out. If you can't pull the card out, make sure that the latch has been released and the Phillips screw has been removed from the card's bracket. Many newer graphics cards require two bays on the back of your computer. You may need to remove the protective panel for the next bay if you haven't used it before. These panels usually pop off, though it varies depending on your computer case. Make sure that there aren't any cables obstructing the slot and that none will get stretched underneath the back of the card. Push the card firmly down straight into the PCIe slot until you hear it latch and it is evenly inserted. Secure the card to the case using Phillips-head screws (most cards will come with a couple). Make sure to secure each bracket if the card takes up...

Make recordings of your music to play to venues. Pitch to venues where similar local artists are getting gigs. Offer to perform on a weeknight. Take high pay/low fan gigs to fund your band.

This way, you will be able to bring items in a backpack or bag without it being noticed. Even if you think you don’t have to change, stop by the bathroom anyway.  There’s nothing worse than sitting in class and feeling you’re having an emergency. Menstrual cups can be worn for up to 12 hours, and you don’t have to change them.  All you have to do is empty them. Menstrual cups are great for the environment as well as your hygiene. Most pockets are big enough to fit a pad or tampon. If you come to school with items already hidden on your person, you don’t have to worry about sneaking them out of class. Put on two in the morning and when one is saturated, go the bathroom and peel off the first one and throw it away and presto - fresh pad underneath.  Be careful not to let the adhesive stick too much to the pad underneath, as it might rip off some of the absorbent material.  It’s best to stagger them a bit, with one in front and one in back. If you have pads with wings, you can place the top pad on top of one of the wrappers so you don't have to worry about the two pads sticking together and can have a wrapper to dispose of the top one. Just fold the wings over the wings of the bottom pad and it should stay in place, even with the wrapper on underneath.

TL;DR in English: Go to the bathroom between classes. Use a menstrual cup. Keep hygiene items in your pocket. Layer your pads.

Ask some people you know to take your questionnaire (they will not be included in any results stemming from this questionnaire), and be prepared to revise it if necessary. Plan to include 5-10 people in the pilot testing of your questionnaire. Get their feedback on your questionnaire by asking the following questions:  Was the questionnaire easy to understand? Were there any questions that confused you? Was the questionnaire easy to access? (Especially important if your questionnaire is online). Do you feel the questionnaire was worth your time? Were you comfortable answering the questions asked? Are there any improvements you would make to the questionnaire? You need to determine what is the best way to disseminate your questionnaire. There are several common ways to distribute questionnaires:  Use an online site, such as SurveyMonkey.com. This site allows you to write your own questionnaire with their survey builder, and provides additional options such as the option to buy a target audience and use their analytics to analyze your data.  Consider using the mail. If you mail your survey, always make sure you include a self-addressed stamped envelope so that the respondent can easily mail their responses back. Make sure that your questionnaire will fit inside a standard business envelope. Conduct face-to-face interviews. This can be a good way to ensure that you are reaching your target demographic and can reduce missing information in your questionnaires, as it is more difficult for a respondent to avoid answering a question when you ask it directly. Try using the telephone. While this can be a more time-effective way to collect your data, it can be difficult to get people to respond to telephone questionnaires. Ask your respondents to have the questionnaire completed and returned to you by a certain date to ensure that you have enough time to analyze the results.  Make your deadline reasonable. Giving respondents up to 2 weeks to answer should be more than sufficient. Anything longer and you risk your...

TL;DR in English: Do a pilot study. Disseminate your questionnaire. Include a deadline.

New perspectives in neuroscience are emerging that emphasize the importance of persistently forging and reworking our relationships with others to support functional brain processes. As such, we will likely be unsuccessful at changing our habits without first realizing the degree to which our behaviors are conditioned by, or in some way dependent on, others around us.  If you find that other people are constantly coming to you for advice, but you rarely feel like you have someone to talk to yourself when you’re unhappy, it could be the case that you’ve come to serve the role of nurturer in your group of friends. There’s nothing wrong with helping others, but it’s also necessary to take care of yourself. In fact, sometimes we help others more than ourselves because we’ve gotten used to doing so. Think about why you are inclined to help others and consider the effect it has on you. Work on thinking positively about yourself and your behavior. Fight the urge to be negative by identifying two of your strengths every day.  Make sure that you challenge any unproductive thought that enters your head. If you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts like “I am a loser,” “no one likes me,” and “I can’t do anything right,” stop yourself and challenge the thought. Counter it with productive thoughts, identifying two positive things about yourself. The more that you practice this positive thinking, the easier it will become.  For example, if you catch yourself having a negative thought like, “I am terrible at math,” reframe the thought in a more productive way by saying something like, "I find math challenging, but I am working hard and improving." Sometimes you might feel stuck in a rut, with no idea how to keep going. In these cases, take a deep breath and try to put the present moment in perspective. People too often focus on the negative, which can lead us to ignore good things. Sometimes all that’s required is a change of scenery, or perhaps a disruption in your everyday routine.  If feelings of dread or...

TL;DR in English: Connect with people. Build you up. Find ways to keep moving forward. Be proactive. Focus on the positive. Do things that are hard. Practice speaking up for yourself. Help others.

These products usually come as sprays or powders, and you can often find them at pet shops and garden supply stores. There are numerous scents manufacturers use to drive dogs away, and most products contain natural ingredients. Some of these dog repellants are meant to have a bitter smell that dogs dislike. Others actually smell like the urine of the predators and will thus scare dogs away. Motion-activated sprinklers are not only designed to water your lawn but also to scare off any visiting critters, including dogs, cats, and raccoons. Set these sprinklers up along the perimeter of your lawn or at any specific spot where visiting strays frequently do their business. As the dog passes in front of the sprinkler, the motion will set it the sensors, triggering a quick spray of water. This spray is enough to startle most dogs and send them scurrying away. Nothing keeps animals out quite like a physical barrier. Dogs looking for an easy spot to take care of their business will likely skip over lawns with fences in favor of those without. Make sure you keep the gate of your fence closed and periodically monitor the perimeter for holes dug by stubborn canines. If you already have a fence, check for holes that need to be repaired. It is also possible to purchase electrified fences, but that is an extreme solution. Ultrasonic repellents are also motion-activated. You can mount the mechanism onto a shed, tree, or fence. As the dog approaches, it will trigger the sensors, causing the repellent to emit sonic and ultrasonic sound waves that are intended to bother the dog. It is unclear how well these devices actually work. Until more evidence emerges supporting their efficacy, this should probably be your last resort.

TL;DR in English: Spray a commercial dog repellent. Install a motion-activated sprinkler. Put up a fence. Use an ultrasonic repellent.

Try to create a flat, even layer that you can easily pour the baking soda over. Continue doing this until all of the flames are extinguished. Use any kind of store-bought baking soda; you just want enough of it to create a thin layer over the embers and wood. Baking soda contains sodium bicarbonate, which is also found in some fire extinguishers, and it will help smother the fire so it doesn't restart. Avoid using sand to smother a fire as it will be difficult to clean out of the fireplace. If the fire restarts, repeat the ash and baking soda steps until the fire is completely out.

TL;DR in English: Use a fire poker to spread around the burning wood and embers. Scoop up some ash with a metal shovel and dump it over the firewood. Pour baking soda over the embers and firewood. Watch the fireplace for a few minutes to make sure the fire doesn't restart.

You can record the music on your computer or invest in nicer equipment to record with; the important thing is to have samples of your songs so venues can get an idea of what your sound is like. Try to have at least 2-3 tracks recorded before you start pitching. Try to have a digital copy of your songs to send through email and a hard copy (like a CD) to give to venues in person. Venues will be more likely to take a chance on your band if you're the type of act they usually book. Follow similar bands on social media and keep track of where they're performing. Add those venues to the list of venues you want to pitch. For example, if you're in a jazz band, find out what venues other local jazz bands are playing at. Those venues draw a crowd that enjoys jazz, so you'll have a better chance of booking a gig there than at a venue that frequently features alternative rock bands. Don't worry about getting a primetime Saturday-night slot if you're just starting out. Tell venues you're available for any open slots, including weeknights. Not as many bands will be competing for these spots, so you'll have an easier time getting a gig. Don't be afraid to play a paid gig at a birthday party or a wedding to earn some money. Take the money you make from those gigs and use it to pay for the expenses of playing a low pay/high fan gig where you'll get more exposure.

TL;DR in English:


Wash a vase thoroughly with soap and warm water to sanitize it. Remove any leaves that sit below the water line. Recut the stems another 1 inch (2.5 cm), keeping them underwater. Set the rose stems inside a vase filled 3/4 of the way with water.

Every child with this condition has different experiences, so it's always a good idea to know these before attempting to teach your student. Cerebral palsy can affect muscle control, tone, and coordination, as well as balance and posture. This can impact fine motor, gross motor, and oral motor skills, as well as vision, speech, and hearing. Effects may vary from difficulties in learning to frequent seizures. A child with cerebral palsy may have an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). If you weren't involved in creating it, get to know the IEP before teaching the child. It will show where the child struggles and what he/she can achieve. That way you'll be able to provide the best help for the child. This will also help you adapt your teaching style; you'll be able to involve the child as much as possible if you know their strengths and their goals. A child with cerebral palsy may need more medical care than usual. Children with CP may experience seizures or be at risk of serious falls. Make sure you know how to handle each scenario.

TL;DR in English: Get to know how the student experiences their cerebral palsy. Know their IEP plan. Make sure you know what to do in an emergency.

The side you place facedown will form the top of the table. You can lay the boards on a flat surface such as a patch of concrete or on sawhorses if you have them available. Position the boards so their ends align. Leave about 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) between each board.  To space the boards properly, stick 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) wood spacers or nails between them, then push them together. If you put the boards on sawhorses, clamp them in place so they can’t move while you’re working. Measure about 16 in (41 cm) in from either of the table’s short ends. Place the cut battens there, then place a third batten directly in the middle of the table. Position the battens so they run across the width of the tabletop. Then, spread a waterproof polyurethane adhesive underneath each batten to hold it in place.  The battens will be about 7 in (18 cm) from the table’s edges.  You may need to use a caulking gun to spread the adhesive. Load the gun and trim the tip off the adhesive canister. Press the trigger to release a bead of adhesive. Move slowly across the width, or short side, of the table to lay a smooth string of the adhesive. Use a 5⁄32 in (0.40 cm) drill bit on the ends of each batten. Create a single hole in the center of each end. Drill diagonally down at about a 45-degree angle towards the tabletop boards. Then, place a 4 in (10 cm) deck screw in each hole to secure the battens in place.  To prevent the wood from cracking, always pre-drill holes before adding fasteners. Use galvanized screws on the table. They are much stronger than nails while also being resistant to water. Position the legs up against the inside edges of the battens, 2 per side. Make sure the legs are flush with the tabletop. They will point diagonally out from the battens, forming an A-shape. The table’s stance needs to be wide to give it plenty of stability. Put some polyurethane adhesive under the legs to secure them to the tabletop. Countersink the carriage bolts by first drilling a pair of 1 in (2.5 cm) holes about 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) deep. Then,...

TL;DR in English: Lay the 5 tabletop boards with their best side facedown. Glue the battens to the table boards. Pre-drill holes in the battens before screwing them in place. Connect the legs to the outer battens and clamp them together. Screw the legs to the battens with 3 in (7.6 cm) carriage bolts. Measure about 13 in (33 cm) up the legs to position the bench support. Countersink the bench supports with 3 in (7.6 cm) carriage bolts. Screw the braces to the bench supports and middle batten.

Many people get a crush on someone of the same gender and freak out. The first thing you should do is take a deep breath. Remember that what you are feeling is totally normal. It is not wrong to have these feelings. Also, keep in mind that having a crush on a person of the same gender doesn't automatically mean you are gay. Sexuality is more complicated than that. Sexual orientation is more than a question of whether you are gay, straight, or bisexual. Instead of thinking of it as a set of categories that you do or do not belong to, try thinking of sexual orientation as a line between gay and straight. You can be anywhere along that line between the two.  You might, for example, feel most strongly about girls, but also like boys a little too. In addition, sexual orientation is not just about who you have feelings for, it's also about how you think of yourself (as, straight, gay, bisexual, or something else), and how you actually behave. It's possible, for example, to have to have feelings for both men and women, but to think of yourself as basically straight and only date people of the opposite sex if that's what you want.  How you think of yourself and who you choose to have relationships with are decisions for you to make. The good news about this is that you have as much time as you want to make these decisions, and it's totally okay to change your answer later if you want! You don't ever have to label yourself if you don't want to. Regardless of what you think about these questions right now, have respect for your own feelings. They are your feelings, and they are true. There aren't rules about what you get to feel. Some people you share your feelings with might tell you you are going through a phase. They might be right, or they might not, but in the end, that's for you to decide, not anyone else. Accept the feelings you have now. If they change later, that's fine too. The feelings you are experiencing right now are probably difficult ones. You don't need to go through this alone, unless you want to....

TL;DR in English: Don't panic. Learn about sexual orientation. Respect your feelings. Talk to someone you trust.

Use a push lawnmower instead of a riding lawnmower. If you are accustomed to using a riding lawnmower because of the size of your lawn, divide your lawn into sections and mow each section on separate days. Use a shovel instead of a snow blower. Use a rake instead of a leaf blower. Wash your car yourself versus taking it through the car wash. You can’t help but dance to it. Slow dancing burns approximately 3 to 4 calories a minute, and fast dancing burns about 8 calories a minute. If you dance while doing the housework, you’ll be in the mid-range of about 5 calories a minute. So dance your way to a smaller butt and thighs while getting your housework done more quickly. You do this is by building up a set of habits over the years that help you stay fit without putting in a ton of effort. This happens overtime by making good lifestyle choices. Pick weekend activities that keep you moving like hiking and bicycling. Don’t be a couch potato. Overall, sitting for too long is not good. Basically this means that whenever you can, get up and move. All the way around, sitting on a ball is much better for you. It requires good posture, and unlike sitting in an office chair, you can’t slouch. Also sitting on a ball activates the core muscles of your back, hips and abdomen. When one part of your body gets in shape, it means that the other parts of your body, like your butt and thighs, receive benefit, too. This is a perfect investment if you don’t like to exercise. You can wear it when you’re cleaning the house or washing the car. A vest gives you an additional 20 pounds of weight to hold. You can even just walk around wearing it for 30 minutes a day. It will help you build muscle and burn calories, all without exercising.

TL;DR in English: Look for more action-oriented ways to do your chores. Do your housework to energetic songs that you love. Be that person that doesn’t try to stay in shape. Replace your office chair with a stability ball. Wear a weighted vest around your torso.

When stains occur, Sunbrella suggests spot cleaning. Mix up the same solution you’d use for general cleaning in a spray bottle. Spray it directly on the stain and let it soak for at least 15 minutes. If you’ve spilled something oily, like sunscreen, it may stain the fabric. Sprinkle corn starch over the affected area. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then proceed with the cleaning process.  Corn starch acts as an absorbent and helps to soak up the oily residue. Use a straight-edge or ruler to scrape away the dried corn starch after 10 minutes have passed. Scrub gently at and around the stain until it disappears. If the stain isn’t coming clean, reapply the cleaning solution and let it soak a little longer before scrubbing it again. Rinse the area with clean, fresh water to remove all soap residue. Dab a fresh towel or sponge at the spot, soaking up as much excess moisture as you can. If you have a wet-vac, that also works well. Allow the fabric to air dry the rest of the way. Sunbrella cushions are formulated to prevent the growth of mold and mildew, but it can still occur. Combine 1 cup (120 ml) bleach, ¼ cup (30 ml) mild soap and a gallon of lukewarm water in a bucket. Pour it into a spray bottle. Be sure to mist the affected area thoroughly, but also apply it to the entire surface of the cushion. If you only concentrate on the affected spot, a water ring or light stain may form. Let the solution sit on the fabric for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, wipe the surface of the cushions with a sponge or scrub with a soft bristle brush. To avoid rings and stains, be sure to clean the entire cushion from seam to seam. This should take care of even tough mold and mildew stains. Thoroughly rinse your cushions to remove all traces of the bleach solution. Let them air dry. Setting them out in direct sunlight can help speed up the drying process.

TL;DR in English: Spray the mild soap and water solution onto stains. Sprinkle corn starch on oily stains first. Scrub the stain with a sponge or soft bristled brush. Blot at the area to soak up excess moisture. Create a bleach, soap and water solution for mildew. Spray the fabric with the bleach solution. Wipe down with a sponge or brush. Rinse with fresh water and air dry the cushions.

This is different than the bucket you originally placed the roses in. A clean vase is essential to keep your roses fresh, since any bacteria left in the vase can kill the blooms. Use a bottle brush to get all the way down inside the vase. Run your vase on a normal cycle in the dishwasher if it’s dishwasher-safe. This prevents any bacteria that was on the leaves from contaminating the water. Use scissors to snip off the leaves as close to the stem as possible or pluck them off with your fingers.  Don't remove all of the upper leaves, though. Otherwise, the roses won't be able to pull water up the stem. If you notice any leaves drop into the water while you’re arranging the stems, fish them out immediately so they don’t dirty the water. This makes sure there are no air bubbles clogging the waterways in the stems. Do not pull them out of the water while you’re cutting them.  Cut the stems at a 45 degree angle, just like you did when you trimmed them from the bush. If you need to make the roses shorter to fit the vase, it's okay to cut the stems more than 1 inch (2.5 cm). You can wear a pair of gardening gloves to protect your hands from the thorns on the stems. Lukewarm or cool water is best for roses. The more flowers you have in the vase, the bigger the vase and the more water you’ll need.  Don’t overcrowd the roses in a small vase. They’ll wilt faster because they won’t get enough water. If you want to extend the life of your cut roses, sprinkle plant food into the water. You can buy premade plant food at a garden store, or make your own at home.

TL;DR in English:


Use the black-line technique to show color and detail. Surround the glass with black barriers. Add a pale panel directly behind the object. Illuminate the background with diffuse lighting. Experiment with your photographs.

The human hand is made up of 27 bones: 8 in the wrist (carpal bones), 5 in the palm of the hand (metacarpal bones) and three sets of phalanges in the fingers (14 bones).  The proximal phalanges are the longest part of the finger located closest to the palm of the hand. The intermediate, or middle, phalanges come next, and then the distal phalanges are the farthest out, forming the “tips” of the fingers.  Acute injuries, such as falls, accidents, and sport injuries, are the most common causes for finger fractures.  Your fingertips are one of the most injury-prone areas of your body because they are involved in almost every activity you partake in throughout the day. Stable fractures are defined by a broken bone but little to no displacement at either end of the break. Also known as a nondisplaced fracture, stable fractures can be difficult to identify and may demonstrate symptoms similar to other forms of trauma. Any broken bone in which the two primary sides of the break are no longer touching or aligned is considered a displaced fracture. A fracture in which the broken bone has been displaced and a portion of it pushed through the skin is referred to as a compound fracture. Because of the severity of the damage to the bone and the surrounding tissue, this injury always requires immediate medical attention. This is a displaced fracture in which the bone has shattered into three or more pieces. This is often, but not always, associated with substantial tissue damage. The extreme pain and immobility of the affected limb that are often associated with this form of injury make it easier to diagnose.

TL;DR in English: Understand finger fractures. Know what a stable fracture looks like. Know what a displaced fracture looks like. Know what a compound fracture looks like. Know what a comminuted fracture looks like.

If you have extra time, you can send the person job listings that have been posted recently in their industry. You may find an opportunity that they overlooked. After you send the listings, ask the person whether they found it useful or helpful so that you know whether you should send more.  Speaking to the person about their ideal job will give you a good idea of what kind of jobs to look for. In some cases, you may need to widen your job search to other areas outside your city. This is particularly true if certain areas offer more positions in their chosen career path. For example, someone with a programming degree may decide to move to a tech center. Make sure to look at the job listings yourself so that you aren’t sending them spam. Looking for a job with the job seeker will give them companionship during the job search and will help motivate them to dedicate some time to it. Even if you aren't really looking for a job, you can see what's available in your industry or you can look for opportunities that would interest the job seeker. Post on your social media to find potential openings within your own network. You can also ask your family or friends if they know of any job openings. There may be an opening that the job seeker can apply to. A personal referral will improve the chance of the person landing the job. In some cases, the person may need more skills, qualifications, experience, or certifications to get the job they desire. If this is the case, gather information about local or online resources where they can attain what they need. You can also help them find volunteering or internship opportunities to gain the experience that will qualify them for jobs.

TL;DR in English: Send them active job listings. Look for jobs together. Use your network to help them find a job. Find ways they can be more competitive in the eyes of employers.

Once you've seasoned the meat, let it rest at room temperature and turn on your smoker to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Let the smoker heat for 10 to 15 minutes before you begin to smoke the meat. Set the seasoned prime rib right on the grill grate. The fat side should be facing up while the bones should be facing down. Put the lid on the smoker and ensure that the temperature remains a steady 225 degrees F (110 degrees C) during the smoking process. When you think the prime rib may be done, insert a thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. If you want the prime rib to be rare, smoke it until it reaches 125 to 130 degrees F (50 to 55 degrees C). If you want the prime rib to be medium-rare, smoke it until it reaches 135 degrees F (60 degrees C). Keep in mind that the prime rib will still be very pink inside. Avoid overcooking this tender meat. Carefully lift the smoked primed rib out of the smoker and set it on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Wrap the meat in the foil and let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes. Cut off the kitchen twine and use a sharp knife to carefully away the bones from the prime rib. Slice the meat into 1/2-inch (12 mm) slices against the grain. Put the meat on a platter and serve it with your favorite sides. If you'd like to store the leftovers, refrigerate them in an airtight container within two hours of smoking the meat. You can store the meat for three to four days.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the smoker. Put the prime rib in the smoker. Smoke the prime rib for three to four hours. Wrap the prime rib and rest the meat for 20 minutes. Carve the prime rib.

Often times natural food, and plant-based oils have a wonderful aroma. They also have the added benefit of moisturizing your skin. Since bleach dries out the skin, it is a win-win: no more dry skin, no more chlorine stink. Some suggestions include:  Coconut oil Almond Oil Olive oil Aloe Vera lotion: make sure the lotion is high in Aloe Vera as that will make a huge difference in its effectiveness Tea tree oil lotion: like Aloe Vera, a higher concentrate will do a better job Citrus based lotions Citrus based soaps: there are some all-natural soaps that provide both the cleaning power of soap and the moisturizing effects of lotion. Check your local health food store to see if they have any that fit your needs and budget. When using oils you don't want to overdo it. You could wind up over-oiling yourself, thus adding another step (namely, removing all that excess oil!). If you're using lotion, this should be enough to coat your entire hand and give you a good idea if you need more and if the lotion you've chosen is doing the job. If you use a citrus based soap, lather up then use hot water. This helps the soap latch onto those base bleach molecules and lift them out.

TL;DR in English: Use select natural oils, lotions, and soaps. Apply a little at a time. Apply a few dollops. Lather up.

You can work on your swing at home just the going through the motions again and again, and thinking about how you move each part of your body. Try suspending a ball from the ceiling in your garage, or from a basketball hoop, and taking lots of smooth controlled swings. Work from slow swings to fast swings.  If you have a tee to hit from, use this.  Try suspending the ball at different heights to give you practice of hitting balls at various heights. You can also try throwing a ball up into the air in front of you and hitting it on the first bounce. It might be easier to practice with some friends, teammates or a coach. If you have someone to toss you some balls, you will be able to recreate hitting in a game more effectively. You can vary the drills and work on improving your vision by using different coloured balls, or balls with numbers written onto them.  You will have to note the colour of the ball, or the number written on the ball, and call it out before you hit in. Improving your softball vision will help you to read balls better and hit with more accuracy. Speeding up your swing can have a big impact on the amount of power you are able to impart when you make contact with the ball. You can try swinging with a heavier bat in practice and when you are warming up. The idea is that when you switch to a lighter bat in the game you will swing with more power and speed.  A good drill to increase speed and reactions times is the quick toss drill. For this drill, have someone on the opposite side of the batter’s box to you. Your training partner will then toss you two balls in quick succession. You should try to hit the first and then quickly back in position and swing and hit the second. . Another way to improve your swing is to do some strength training. Using a heavier bat when you practice will work in the same way, but you can also add some specific weight or resistance training to your routine. Look for exercises that will strengthen your core, abs, legs and forearms. Some good exercises to do that can...

TL;DR in English: Practice on your own. Practice with friends or a coach. Speed up your swing. Increase your power and strength

This setup results in a brightly illuminated glass object, with black lines creating a silhouette-like effect. Color and detail are generally easier to emphasize compared to the white-line setup, and the bright lighting can make weak reflections and glare invisible. Place the glass in a black photo box if you have one, or surround it with black matte barriers underneath, behind, and to each side of the object. Pull these side barriers close together, or use additional barriers, to block light from the front and leave only a small gap for your camera lens.  You can hold off on completely enclosing the area until after the setup below is complete, but keep this final goal in mind. You may need to use a "ceiling" for the area as well, if reflections are getting in over the top of the walls. This can be white or grey; the brighter the light source you'll be using, the darker this panel can be. Set this up directly behind the object from the perspective of the camera, and make it no wider than the object itself. If the panel is too wide, you could end up with white reflections or lens flare interfering with the clean, silhouetted appearance. You can use a specialized diffuser, or imitate the effect by covering your light source with a white tissue. Point this at the background panel. Use flags or barriers if necessary to avoid illuminating the glass directly. You're going for a soft "spotlight" effect on the background, which will in turn send light through the glass toward the camera. You can also try illuminating the glass directly from behind, sending the light through a sheet of white acrylic or a transparent canvas. This setup may be more difficult to adjust. Photograph the glass, and take a look at the result. If you aren't satisfied, adjust the brightness of the light source, or use additional photo flags or barriers to eliminate undesirable reflections.

TL;DR in English:


Embrace your unique style and personality. Nurture your body, mind, and spirit. Practice good hygiene. Develop a beauty routine based on your natural skin and hair type.

It generally takes three bundles of shingles to cover 100 square feet (9.29 square meters). Asphalt shingle "bundles" are actually sealed in packages (the term bundle comes from wooden shingles which actually came tied up with wire in bundles). Measure your roof and buy appropriately. Measure the length and width of the individual sections of the roof, multiplying them together to determine the area. Add the areas of each section together, then divide by 100 to get the correct number of squares. Multiply this number by 3 to get the number of bundles you'll need to buy. This will help determine how the shingles will lay on the roof width. Most asphalt shingles are 3 feet (91.4 centimeters) in length. If your roof's width is not an even multiple of the shingle's length, you will have a partial piece on one end of each row. The bottom row of shingles must hang past the edge of the roof. For a wood shingle roof you would have to cut the shingles that go on the edge to create a straight line to accommodate this. Start removing the shingles at the peak farthest from the trash container, or the corner you want to collect the shingles in. Use a garden fork or a roofing shovel to pull them off quickly, use the hammer-method and go by hand for a more thorough job. Make sure that you protect the sides of the house and the windows during this process, such as by leaning a large piece of plywood against the house below where you are working. Otherwise you might break a window or damage the siding.   Pry up the nails and loosening the ridge caps. It's ok if you don't get all the nails at first, because you'll have a chance to go back through and remove them later. Remove the metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys in the roof. Flashing in the valleys will almost always be trashed, especially. Some roofers will keep some of the flashing that's in good shape, but it's probably worth junking it all when you've got the chance. Sweep the roof as clean as possible. Remove nails that didn't come up earlier. Reattach...

TL;DR in English: Get the right number of shingles for the job. Measure the length of a shingle as it lies across the roof. Remove old shingles and flashing. Clean the roof. Install underlayment and new flashing. Choose the kind of starter course you will use. Use chalk lines to make a guide for yourself.

When you’re prepping the surface of your acrylic furniture, avoid using a dusting cloth to remove dirt and dust. These types of cloths can trap particles that won’t seem big to the naked eye, but will scratch your furniture. Even though acrylic furniture is clear, you shouldn’t use the same cleaners that you do on glass windows to clean it. Cleaners specifically made for plastics, like Brillianize cleaner, is the best option for cleaning your acrylic furniture. It prevents scratches and won’t break down the acrylic, giving it a cloudy appearance. Squirt a small amount of cleaner onto the piece of furniture you’re cleaning and then polish that area with your cloth. Once you’re done with that small area, move on to the next. Don’t spray the whole piece of furniture and then wipe it down.

TL;DR in English: Avoid using dusting cloths. Use cleaners specifically designed for plastics. Clean small areas at a time.

You should type up the purchase and sale agreement so that it is legible. You don't want the other side to claim that you hid information using small fonts, so set the font to a readable size and style. Times New Roman 12 point works for many people. If you are going to use your sale and purchase agreement more than once, then set it up as a template. Include blank lines for information that will change from contract to contract, such as the name of the purchaser and the purchase price. At the top of the page, you should center the title between the left- and right-hand margins. Title your document something like “Purchase and Sale Agreement” or “Agreement to Purchase Real Estate.” You need to identify the purchaser and the seller at the start of your agreement. You could include blank lines for their names or insert a brief paragraph like the following: “[Insert the name of purchaser] (‘Purchaser’), offers and agrees to purchase from [insert the name of seller] (‘Seller’), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the property legally described as [insert legal description].” You need to accurately describe the property in your agreement, so find the legal description of property, which is on the deed. You can get a copy of the deed at your county’s Recorder of Deeds office. See Get a Legal Description of Property for more information.

TL;DR in English: Format the document. Insert a title. Identify the parties to the sale. Add the legal description of property.

Safety should be your top priority. It is absolutely crucial to purchase a car seat designed for your infant’s age and size. There are three basic models on the market: rear-facing infant-only car seats designed for babies under 35 pounds, infant-toddler combination seats that can be rear-facing for babies under 45 pounds and then turned around to face forward for toddlers, and booster seats made to position children over four years old for optimal seatbelt usage. If you have an infant, choose an appropriate seat.  If possible, buy a car seat before your baby is born. If you travel by car, you’ll need it to take your infant home from the hospital or birth center. And the sooner you familiarize yourself with the seat – and the manual, which you should read carefully – the easier it will be to use when the time comes. If your family has two cars, consider purchasing a separate car seat for each. The added expense may be worth it: it will save you time in the future and prevent the rushed installation mistakes that sometimes occur when you hurry to move a car seat from one vehicle to another. Car seats should be installed in the back seat of your car, and, if possible, in the middle seat. Double check the instructions in the user manual to be sure that you are installing the seat correctly. Make sure all belts and latches are secure. For infants, the seat should be rear-facing – this position is the safest for babies. In many locations, you can go to a police or fire station (or sometimes other places) to have a professional check the installation of your car seat for safety. Check online for options in your area. One good site, which will let you search for locations in your zip code, (if applicable) is: http://www.safercar.gov/cpsApp/cps/index.htm. Car seat laws vary from state to state and country to country, so always check to make sure that your infant has safe, appropriate equipment.

TL;DR in English: Choose an infant car seat. Install the infant car seat correctly. Know the laws.

In most cases, the easiest way to get fresh breath is to brush your teeth. That will remove any bacteria that may be in your mouth, as well as any food that's trapped in your teeth. You should brush at least twice a day, but you may want to do it after each meal to keep your breath fresh.  When you brush your teeth, do it for at least two minutes to ensure that your teeth and mouth are fully clean. To make it easier to brush on the go, you may want to keep a travel size toothbrush and tube of toothpaste in your purse, bag, or even the glove compartment in your car. While brushing your teeth can help freshen your breath, it's a good idea to follow up with some floss. Food, bacteria, and plaque can become trapped between your teeth, and flossing removes them so your breath stays fresh. Floss at least twice a day.  Keep a container of floss with your travel toothbrush and paste, so you can floss whenever you feel the need. For flossing on the go, it may be easier to keep some floss or dental picks in your bag. Floss picks feature a small plastic handle and a single strand of floss suspended across it. A dental pick is a small brush-like pick that can easily fit between your teeth for flossing. If you feel the need to floss and don't have any on hand, you can use a toothpick to remove food from between your teeth. You can also run it gently between your teeth to get rid of plaque that may be hanging around. Even if you brush and floss your teeth, foul-smelling bacteria can still linger on your tongue. You can use a tongue scraper to remove it or give your tongue a quick scrub with your toothbrush to make sure that your breath stays fresh. You can find tongue scrapers or cleaners in the same aisle at the drugstore that you find toothbrushes. When you're done brushing and flossing your teeth, it's a good idea to use mouthwash. It contains antiseptics that help remove bacteria that might cause bad breath and typically has a minty flavor or scent that it imparts to your breath. Swish a small amount of the wash around...

TL;DR in English: Brush your teeth. Floss your teeth. Scrape your tongue. Rinse with mouthwash.
