Salmon is your best friend when it comes to planning a healthy hair diet. Salmon is full of essential omega-3 fatty acids, as well as having a high vitamin D and protein content, all of which are vital for strong, healthy hair. Omega-3 is really important for healthy hair, as it makes up approximately 3% of the hair shaft, while also being found in the body's natural oils which help to keep the scalp hydrated. You can also find omega-3 fatty acids in other fish, such as trout, herring, mackerel and sardines. Or if fish doesn't float your boat, try incorporating more avocado and pumpkin seeds into your diet. Besides making a delicious snack, walnuts have significant benefits when it comes to the health of your hair. Unlike any other type of nut, walnuts have a high omega-3 content and are rich in Vitamin E and biotin. Interestingly, walnuts also contain the mineral copper, which helps to protect and enhance your hair's natural color and shine.  In addition to eating walnuts as a yummy salad and dessert topping, you can also sprinkle a little walnut oil over salad leaves, or use it in a stir-fry. These tasty shellfish have a high zinc content. Zinc is extremely important for healthy hair - in fact too little zinc in your diet can potentially lead to hair loss. It may also lead to a dry scalp and dandruff problems. Just three ounces of oysters contain almost five times your daily zinc requirement. They are also bursting with protein, which is extra good news for your hair.  Zinc can also be found in  nuts, beef, eggs and fortified cereals and whole grain breads. Sweet potatoes provide your body with high quantities of beta carotene, an antioxidant which aids in the production of vitamin A.  Vitamin A stimulates the production of oils that hydrate and protect the scalp. A lack of vitamin A can lead to a dry, itchy scalp and problems with dandruff.  Other natural sources of beta carotene include: cantaloupe, carrots,  mangoes, apricots and pumpkin. Aside form being rich in protein (which makes up about 97% of...

TL;DR in English: Eat salmon. Eat walnuts. Eat oysters. Eat sweet potatoes. Eat eggs. Eat spinach. Eat lentils. Eat Greek yogurt. Eat blueberries. Eat poultry. Take a supplement.

Fuses are really just wires that are designed not to last, but their purpose is to prevent damage to more valuable electrical equipment or prevent fires (especially in homes) caused by power surges. If too much power runs through the fuse, it will "burn out," quite literally, and open the circuit, preventing the current from flowing through the circuit. There are several varieties of fuses, but their differences are primarily in appearance. Here is a description of the two you are most likely to see:  The cartridge fuse is a cylindrical fuse that has been common in a wide variety of devices for many years, from homes to small electronic devices. They have metal contact or terminal points on either end and consist primarily of a tube that contains the wire.  The blade fuse is a common type of automotive fuse that has come into use in the last 20-30 years. They vaguely resemble the plug of a power cord, with two metal prongs emanating from a plastic housing that contains the wire. Previously, most vehicles also contained small glass cartridge fuses. Blade fuses plug conveniently into banks, and relatively little space is required to house a large number of them together. Multimeters measure AC and DC voltage, electrical resistance, and the flow of current. For testing a fuse, you can either use it to measure the continuity (which tests if the circuit is complete) or the ohms (which tests resistance).  A multimeter has a positive and negative lead. When testing resistance in a circuit, the meter will transmit a small quantity of electricity from its own battery and then measure the amount that passes through the circuit or object. Testing fuses is the simplest way to examine what is going on in the electrical systems of your car or home, and for that reason, it is a vital skill to possess.  It is easier to test fuses than it is to test other electrical equipment. Other components in your car or home involve complex wiring systems that run on for some length. In addition, most car parts can only be tested at...

TL;DR in English: Understand fuses. Learn how a multimeter works. Understand why you must test fuses.

Round nose, chain nose, or bent nose pliers work best for this process. Both pairs don't have to be the same, and as long as they're small enough to manipulate the jump ring, they'll work fine. Needle nose pliers or strong tweezers will work in a pinch as well. Be careful not to use them too forcefully, though, to avoid leaving indentations on the ring. Since this is the standard method of attachment for bracelet charms, yours might already come attached to a jump ring. It's a small piece of wire formed into a circle with the ends touching. If not, purchase one at a local or online craft supply store. You'll usually need to buy a package of jump rings rather than just one.  Jump rings are measured by diameter and gauge (the thickness of the wire). Pick a ring with the smallest diameter that will comfortably fit both the charm and your bracelet link with a bit of space for movement. A jump ring will provide an elegant, seamless-looking attachment for your charm. However, if you plan to move or switch out your charms regularly, consider a split ring or lobster clasp instead.

TL;DR in English: Get two sets of jewelry pliers. Obtain a jump ring.

Stay hydrated by drinking water, juice, and broth throughout the day. Get plenty of rest by staying home from work or school and staying in bed. Try over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medicines like Pepto-Bismol or Immodium A-D to help relieve symptoms. Follow a clear liquid diet of water, broth, juice, and sports drinks until you can handle solid food, then introduce the BRAT diet: bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast.  Avoid fatty foods, dairy, caffeine, alcohol, and artificial sweeteners. Many cases of diarrhea are caused by viruses and will pass in a couple of days. It may also be the result of foodborne illness, which is far more common than you might think. If your symptoms get worse or don't resolve after 48 hours, see your doctor — you may need antibiotics or other medications. Stay hydrated — like with diarrhea, dehydration is the biggest risk when you're sick with vomiting. If you can eat without vomiting, eat small amounts of bland foods like toast, crackers, and jell-o. Once you can keep these down, add rice, cereal, and fruit to your diet. Increase what you eat slowly as your illness improves.  If you're too nauseated to drink anything, try sucking on ice chips to get small amounts of fluids. When you do drink liquids, try to have them at room temperature. Avoid cold or hot drinks. Don't eat spicy or fatty foods, which can further irritate your stomach. Let your stomach calm down after vomiting by waiting for 30 – 60 minutes afterward to eat or drink anything. Don't try heavy solid foods until at least 6 hours after you last vomited. If your stomach upset is from motion sickness, try a medication like Dramamine before traveling. If you have diarrhea or vomiting that lasts over 24 hours, or you cannot keep any liquids down for over 12 hours, see your doctor right away. Seek emergency care if you have any signs or symptoms of dehydration, such as:  Extreme thirst Dry mouth or skin Dark urine, or producing little or no urine Weakness, dizziness, fatigue, lightheadedness A fever of 102°F (39°C) or...

TL;DR in English: Cope with having diarrhea. Ease nausea and vomiting with a gentle diet. Seek emergency medical care if you show signs of dehydration. See your doctor if you have pain or a high fever. Unblock constipation naturally, if possible. Ease acid reflux and heartburn (GERD) with diet and medications, if needed. Soothe indigestion with warm fluids.

When a cat enters kill mode, a flimsy cage won't stop it. While there are steps to follow that will reduce the likelihood of your cat becoming unnecessarily aggressive, it is still worthwhile to have a cage for your guinea pigs that guarantees their safety from demise by tooth and claw. Recognize that your cat is also capable of seriously harming your guinea pig without intending to do so. As such, your guinea pig needs an area where they are completely safe, even if only from some overzealous rough-housing. If possible, you'll want to keep your guinea pigs in a safe room where your cats are not regularly allowed. If you do not have sufficient space to allow this arrangement, choose a location for the cage that will prevent your cats from hanging out on or around the guinea pig enclosure.  Always keep all cat toys and guinea pig toys separated in your house.  If you have a guinea pig area, keep all of their worldly possessions in that area, and do not store or allow any cat stuff in that area. Disallow your cat from sitting beside or resting on top of your guinea pig's enclosure at any time. Especially if one arrives after you've already had the other for a while, allow the new arrival to acclimate to your home before introducing them to each other.  They will already be able to smell one another's presence. Let the suspense build a bit. Wait at least a week before introducing a cat and a guinea pig.  Technically, you just need to make sure they are not able to touch one another or make eye contact.  To be safe, don't allow them to see one another at all. Before actually introducing your pets, acclimate your cat to the guinea pig's scent.  There are several ways to do this.  The intent is to associate things your cat likes, such as food, with the guinea pig. This may seem counterintuitive, but the cat will not think of the guinea pig as food – instead, it will think the guinea pig smell indicates that other (and more appropriate) food is nearby.  Place the cat's food just outside the door of the room in which...

TL;DR in English: House your guinea pigs in a solid enclosure. Establish specific areas where each pet is allowed to be. Allow both pets to become comfortable in their home environments independently. Emphasize the other pet's presence.

Before starting work toward a difficult goal, it's important to ask yourself how committed you are to it. Your level of commitment is an important component of goal success and attainment.  This commitment can represent a personal contract/commitment to yourself and your goals. If you don't feel very committed to achieving a difficult goal, you are much less likely to succeed in doing so. If you don't feel committed, you may want to reconsider this goal. There are many factors that go into developing and achieving your personal goals. Solid goals are "SMART," meaning they're specific, measurable, achievable, results-focused, and time-bound. If your goal is each of these, you'll be set up for success.  Vague goals are harder to accomplish because it is less clear what you need to do and when the goal is complete. It may be that you have not achieved your hardest goal yet because you haven't defined it clearly enough. For example, the goal "be a better person" is perhaps impossible to achieve. It is extremely vague, and no matter how "good" a person you become, you can always be better. In this case, you would want to think about how you would define a good person. What specific thing or things do you need to do to be "better?" Call your mom once a week? Volunteer for charity 10 hours a month? Do a bigger share of the household chores? Be as specific as you can. The next step is to break your challenging goal into smaller parts. These should also be concrete and measurable goals.  Breaking the goal into smaller parts allows you to create a step-by-step plan of action for achieving the "big" goal. It also creates opportunities for you to take note of the progress you've made. This can help you maintain your motivation. For example, if your goal is to earn a PhD in physics, think about what you'll need to do to achieve that. You'll need to apply to grad schools. You'll need to be accepted. You'll need to make it through the first semester. You'll need to complete all the required courses. You'll need to pass your...

TL;DR in English:


Stay away from dust and mold. Avoid fragrances and other scents. Watch out for air pollution. Avoid all smoke. Fend off colds and flu. Treat your allergies.

If you are parking at night, be sure to park in a well-lit area that is as close to your destination as possible. Look around for any dangerous looking people nearby. If you feel unsafe, don't park there. Just keep on driving and consider coming back another day during daylight hours. You could also look for a different parking lot or a parking garage that has better lighting. Or you can go to a well-lit store, like Walmart, that has lots of lighting and built-in security. If you park your car off the beaten path, it will be more of a target. Choose a place where there will be people walking around. Look for an area where other cars are parked as well. Make sure the place you wish to park is a designated parking area. Look for any signs that might indicate otherwise, such as a No Parking sign. Look for printed lines on the pavement that indicate that a spot is for parking.  Never park in a handicap spot unless your car has a handicap symbol on its license plate or rearview mirror. Never park on a sidewalk or in front of a fire hydrant. Never block a driveway or park too close to an intersection Never park where you will block the flow of traffic. This will help to prevent crime. Many parking lots and garages have security cameras. Make sure your car is clearly seen from several angles. Avoid parking next to a large truck or in between two vehicles that block the line of sight to your car. Your car will be more likely to be hit by cars driving by if it is at the very end of the row. Especially avoid parking after the end of the row in a crowded area. For example, if the lot is full, cars will sometimes make their own space next to the last designated parking spot. But this is ill-advised because your car will be more likely to get hit, get ticketed, or even get towed because it isn’t a legal spot. Avoid parking next to a cart storage area at a grocery store. Your car might get a dent from a cart. Some parking garages or city streets require payment to park there. Take note of this as you are choosing a spot...

TL;DR in English: Park in a well-lit area. Choose an area that has people around. Find a legal spot. Make sure your vehicle will be visible. Avoid parking at the end of a row. Be prepared to pay.

One possible reason your cat may be climbing on furniture is because they aren't getting enough exercise and stimulation on a daily basis. If you cannot provide them with a cat condo, get your cat a scratching post, and use interactive toys that allow your cat to chase, run, and jump. This should tire them out, removing some of the necessity to climb, scratch, and explore your furniture. Cats and dogs have a natural aversion to anything that smells or tastes like citrus or bitter apple. You can use this to your advantage as you train your pet to stay off counters or furniture. Use citrus-scented cleaning products on the counters you want to keep a cat off of, or spray a little citrus-scented oil or bitter apple on couches to keep pets off. (Just be sure that you don't ruin your furniture by spraying oil extracts on the cushions!) Dogs and cats are both repelled by these scents, and will stay away if you make certain environmental elements smell like these undesirable scents. rate or confine your pet. If your pet tends to climb on furniture when you're not home (evidenced by lots of hair or scratch marks on furniture), consider getting a crate for your dog when you're not home, or confining your pet(s) to a designated area, like a bathroom or kitchen. You can also use baby gates to block access to certain rooms or pieces of furniture. Just be sure your animals have access to food and fresh, clean water, and aren't exposed to uncomfortable temperatures, no matter where you confine them.

TL;DR in English: Give your pet more exercise. Use chemical deterrents. .

Delicate, embellished fabrics can be damaged from the heat of your iron. However, for most unembellished curtains, you shouldn't need to do anything special to iron out wrinkles.  To protect delicate fabrics and embellishments, you can overlay a pillowcase or sheet over the embellished area you'll be ironing to protect it from direct heat, and then iron as normal. If you're concerned that the heat setting for your iron may be too high, a pillowcase/sheet buffer is also a good idea. Many curtains will not require starch, though easily wrinkled delicate fabrics may call for it. Starch will make your fabric crisp and less wrinkle prone. Your curtain instructions should indicate if a starch solution should be used on your curtains.  Many modern forms of starch come premixed in a spray can. For this kind of starch product, you should follow the directions as indicated on its label. Some starch comes in powdered form and is intended to be mixed with clean water in a spray bottle. You can make your own starch spray with one heaping tablespoon of corn starch and one pint of clean water. Mix the solution well before using. With especially delicate or expensive curtains, your pillowcase/sheet heat buffer might not be enough to fully protect your curtains. You can still iron your curtains safely by using your pad and ironing the back of the curtain rather than the front. These kind of fabrics are especially prone to heat damage. When ironing these, you'll be sure to want buffer fabric, like a pillowcase or sheet, in between the iron and the curtain fabric. For extreme wrinkles, spray the curtain fabric with water first, put your buffer fabric in place, and then iron. Gather pleats together and iron them down in a way that follows the design of the fabric. This will make the accent of the pleat look crisper and more sharply defined. A spritz of water from your spray bottle can help your iron remove stubborn wrinkles in the pleating.

TL;DR in English: Evaluate your curtain fabric. Use starch when recommended. Iron the back of the curtain for further heat protection. Take extra care with silk or satin curtains. Iron pleats to make them more pronounced.

You can even use petroleum jelly in a pinch. Coconut oil or shea butter will be better for you, because they are moisturizing. Both essential oils are great at plumping up those lips. They do this by naturally stimulating the blood vessels. Cinnamon essential oil can irritate the skin. Consider mixing a drop with some of your coconut oil or shea butter, and dabbing it onto your inner elbow. If it doesn't irritate you, then you're good to go. If you don't have a toothpick, you can use another small mixing tool, such as a chopstick. You can also use one of those containers meant for storing excess paint from the craft store. Whatever you choose to use, make sure that it is clean and dry. Your lip balm is now ready to use! If you'd like, you can decorate the lid with a pretty label or a cute sticker.

TL;DR in English: Measure out ½ ounce (15 grams) of shea butter or coconut oil into a small bowl. Add 4 drops of cinnamon or peppermint essential oil. Stir the two together with a toothpick. Transfer the mixture into a small jar, such as an empty lip balm container. Close the jar.

You may want to sell items you already have. If you are adept at crafting you may sell items you make or refurbish.  Selling items you already have is a short term venture. However, if you invest that money into crafting or refurbishing you can develop a sound part-time business. Depending on the items you have, you can sell items at yard sales, online, in classified ads, or even auction houses.  Consider what craft or thrift stores are around town. You will need a place to purchase goods to be refurbished or used in crafting. Many crafts and hobbies you can do are not profitable. To make money you will have to do your homework. Use online sites to see what items are selling and for how much. Visit local stores and websites to determine if you'd be able to make a profit selling any product. Handmade crafts such as homemade books or soap require not only skill but marketing knowledge. Many people make money this way and, like the, you'll need to make your products unique and attractive. This will impact how much money you can earn buying, crafting, and selling products. Be cognizant of how much work you are putting into a product relative to your profit.  Sewing from home is a great way to create custom products as needed. If you are short on time, let customers place customized orders. Then you can sew only what they want. You can tell them how long it will take to make and avoid blindly spending time making products people may not want to buy. Who will buy your items? How will you sell your items to them? Once purchased, how will you be able to get the items to their home? Be sure to accurately estimate shipping and handling costs if selling online.  Many people use online sites such as www.etsy.com, www.ebay.com, or www.craigslist.com to advertise to a broad market and sell their items. Local festivals, fairs, and markets may provide you an opportunity to sell your products in person. You typically have to purchase a booth. Even if you don't sell enough to cover the cost of the booth, you can distribute...

TL;DR in English: Think about what items you would like to sell. Research your product thoroughly. Decide how much time you'd like to spend each day or week making money part time. Identify your consumer and mode of distribution. Use customer input to manage your resources carefully.

These are common asthma triggers, and keeping a clean environment can go a long way in preventing asthma flareups. Make vacuuming and dusting part of your weekly cleaning routine to avoid triggering an asthma attack. To avoid dust mites, use mattress and pillow covers, wash bedding often and avoid quilts that use down feathers.  Mold is caused by humidity, so use a hygrometer to check how humid your home environment is. Use a dehumidifier to keep the environment moisture and mold-free. Regularly disinfect showers and other places where moisture can lead to mold growth. If you suspect there is a significant mold problem in your home or work place, get it professionally inspected and removed. Get a HEPA or other type of air filter for your home. You can also use fans and air conditioning to maintain good air circulation. Some people with asthma are highly sensitive to perfumes. If that's you, don't wear a lot of perfume and try to avoid being around people who wear a lot of perfume. If you must use perfume, use it lightly and try not to inhale it. Avoid using scented candles and air fresheners as well, as scented products can irritate your nasal passages and breathing airways. You can even opt for scent-free laundry detergent. Studies have shown that cities with high levels of air pollution have much higher asthma rates, especially among children. Smog, car exhaust and other air pollutants can all contribute to asthma.  Monitor your local air quality index and avoid exercising or spending too much time outside on bad days. Learn when air quality is best, such as mornings in the summer, and schedule outdoor activities for those times.  Filter the air in your home through your air conditioner, instead of opening windows. Avoid living by the highway or a busy intersection. If you can, move to a home that has fresh, dry air. Whether from tobacco, incense, fireworks or anything else, do your best to avoid inhaling smoke. Not only should you not smoke at all, but you should make an effort to avoid being in the...

Develop an aesthetic for your film. Do you want your film to feature smooth, expertly-edited shots, or a rough, handheld camera look? Design the costumes and sets. Consider lighting. Dress the sets, or scout a location.

Look for printing which says either SPT-1 or SPT-2. The printing is small, so you might have to look carefully. The difference between SPT-1 and SPT-2 involves the thickness of the lamp cord. Some switches only require you to connect the hot wire. If this is the case, there will be a channel along one side of the switch for the neutral wire. You may be able to open the casing of the existing switch and remove the wires without cutting them, but if not, use wire cutters to cut as close to the switch as you can.  Try to avoid cutting the neutral wire. If you have to cut it in order to remove the old switch, strip the insulation and connect the cut ends of the neutral wire together. If you like, add a plastic connector to protect the wire at the location where you want your new switch to be. If you are adding a cord switch when there wasn’t one before, use a small knife to carefully split the cord where you want your new switch to go, then cut through the hot wire. If your switch requires you to attach the neutral wire, cut through that too. Use your wire cutters to make a notch in the wire insulation, then gently pull to remove it. Only take off as much insulation as you need to attach the wires to the screws in the switch. If you only have one screw, it's for the hot wire. If you have to connect both the hot and neutral wires, the hot wire goes to the brass screw, and the neutral wire goes to the silver screw. Use your fingers to wrap the wires around the screws securely, and make sure there is enough insulation on the wires so that no live wires will be exposed when you close the switch.  There should be no visible wires showing when the switch is assembled. All you should see is insulated cord. If the exposed wires are too long, use the wire cutters to snip off a small portion and reattach the wires to the screws. Make sure that the cover closes securely and there are no bare wires showing around the switch. If you’re confident that the switch feels like it’s securely connected and there are no live wires...

TL;DR in English: Look for printing on the lamp cord to determine the size switch you need. Examine your new switch to see which wires you have to cut. Remove the existing cord switch. Strip about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of insulation off of the wires. Match the hot and neutral wires to the appropriate screws. Insert the stripped wires into the screw terminals. Close the cover on the switch and snap or screw it shut. Plug in your lamp and try out your new switch.

Plywood or MDF are the most economic choices for the wood, but you can use any type of wood you want. Use a solid wood instead if you want to give the chest a natural finish.  Use boards that are 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) thick. A toy chest that is 29 in × 18 in (74 cm × 46 cm) and 13 in (33 cm) high is a good size if you aren’t sure. You can get different types of solid wood, plywood, or MDF at a lumber yard or home improvement center. MDF stands for medium-density fibreboard. It is a bit denser than plywood and has a smoother surface, but is not as strong as plywood and can sag under heavy weight. Plywood is slightly more expensive, but is stronger than MDF. Lay out the pieces on a flat work surface in the shape of the box. Place the bottom in the middle with the front, back, and sides laid beside it where they will go. Put the lid off to the side for now.  Use 2 29 in × 13 in (74 cm × 33 cm) pieces for the front and back and 2 18 in × 13 in (46 cm × 33 cm) pieces for the sides. Use 1 29 in × 17 in (74 cm × 43 cm) pieces for the bottom and 1 30 in × 18 in (76 cm × 46 cm) piece for the top. You can adjust the measurements if you want to make the chest larger or smaller. Sand the edges of the boards by hand or with an electric sander so that there are no splinters or sharp edges. Sand the surfaces of the boards if there are any rough spots. Slowly squeeze out a bead of carpenter’s glue along the lower edges of the sides, front, and back where they will sit against the bottom piece. Squeeze a line of the wood glue along the left and right edges of the sides where they will overlap the front and back pieces. Don’t worry if you accidentally squeeze out a bit too much glue. You’ll be able to wipe away the excess when you put the pieces together. Start by lifting the front and back pieces and holding them in place against the front and back edges of the bottom. Lift the side pieces up next so they rest against the bottom as well as overlap the ends of the front and back pieces. Clamp everything in place with bar clamps. ...

TL;DR in English: Plan how big you want to make the chest and buy the right amount of wood. Lay out 6 pieces of 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) wood for the chest. Sand the pieces with 120-grit sandpaper to remove any splinters. Put a thin line of wood glue along the edges of the pieces where they will touch. Stand up the pieces around the bottom and clamp them in place with bar clamps. Nail the pieces together with finish nails every 3–4 in (7.6–10.2 cm).

You should pull each strip up off the card by placing your index finger under the end and pulling up. You can pull them off one at a time or three at once by using your index, middle, and ring fingers under the edges of three strips. Place the index finger of your hand that's not holding the Steri strips on one side of the wound. Then place the thumb of the same hand on the other side of the wound and press together. Applying the first strip at the middle of wound ensures that the wound closes evenly. Then you can apply the rest of the strips out from the original one in the middle. It doesn’t matter if you move to the right or left (or top or bottom) first. While holding the wound closed, place one end of the strip above the wound. Press down as you lay the strip over the wound and secure the other end under the wound. There should be an even amount of strip above and below the wound. How many strips you need will depend on the size of the wound. There should be an 1/8th of an inch (1/3rd of a cm) between each strip and they should all be applied the same way. Apply enough strips so that the wound is closed all the way across. The strips that are placed parallel to the wound will prevent the ends of the original strips from lifting. This ensures that your wound has time to heal before the strips start come up. Place the strips ½ inch (1 cm) from original strip ends.

TL;DR in English: Take the strips off the card. Hold the skin on either side of the wound closed. Start at the middle of the wound. Press the strips down. Place successive strips parallel to each other. Place strips parallel to the wound across the edges of the original strips.

This will help you figure out the best method to clean a stain off of your tie and prevent you from ruining it. If you are unsure about the fabric, it is always better to treat the tie delicately and keep it out of the washing machine. These products act to absorb stains immediately after they happen. Leave the talcum powder or cornstarch on your tie for a few hours, and then shake it off. If the stain still shows, you can repeat the process. Find a dry cleaner who knows specifically how to clean a tie, but only if all else fails. A regular cleaning service may be able to remove the stain, but it will also press the tie flat, altering its appearance dramatically. The specialist will be able to remove the offending marks without changing its shape, although it might require the disassembly and reconstruction of the tie.  At that point, you will have to decide if the purchase of a new tie might be more cost-effective. Be sure to always read the instructions for the tie on the label. Most ties will instruct you to wash by hand or dry clean only.

TL;DR in English: Check the label to determine the fabric content of your tie. Cover grease, oil, or ink stains with talcum powder or cornstarch. Choose a dry cleaner for difficult stains or delicate ties.

The beets must be cool enough for you to handle with your hands. Red beets have a tendency to stain, so you may want to wear food-grade plastic gloves when handling them. Only use food-grade gloves to prevent accidental contamination. Hold one beet with a paper towel. Scrub this beet with the edges of the paper towel until the skin peels and flakes off. Repeat with the other beets.  You can rub the skin away with your bare fingers just as easily as you can with a paper towel, but using a paper towel prevents the beets from staining your hands, especially if you cannot wear food-grade plastic gloves while peeling. If desired, you could also peel the skin away using a small paring knife. Note, however, that skin which refuses to peel away easily could be a sign that the beets have not yet finished cooking. If the skin is notably difficult to peel, you should consider returning the beets to the oven for another 15 to 20 minutes. You can cut the roasted beets into slices or wedges depending on how you plan to eat them. Roasted beets can be added to other dishes or enjoyed on their own.  If slicing the beets, consider cutting them into slices that are 1/4 inch (mm) thick. This is an easy-to-manage size that works well with most dishes or when enjoyed alone. Goat cheese is a common accompaniment to roasted beets. Other common accompaniments include sweet strawberries, orange segments, pine nuts, walnuts, and chopped mint leaves. These additions are especially popular if you end up adding your beets to a leafy green salad. If you plan on using your beets in a salad, consider cutting them into wedges. For sandwiches, use slices. Beets enjoyed on their own can be cut either way. Any roasted beets you cannot eat immediately should be placed in an airtight container and stored in the refrigerator for 4 to 7 days.  Roasted beets can be stored whole or in wedges and slices. Use an airtight plastic container or plastic bag to store your beets. Note that roasted red beets can stain the container.

TL;DR in English: Let the beets cool slightly. Rub the skin away. Slice and serve. Store beets for up to one week.

Because movies are visual, it's a good idea to spend some time on the "look and feel" of the movie. Consider two films as an example: Matrix again, with its monochromatic, yellow-green tone throughout, which heightened the sense of being “digitized,” and A Scanner Darkly by Richard Linklater, which was rotoscoped and had a unique and memorable cartoon reality look to it. Here are some other areas to consider. It’s all there to do. For example, look at Melancholia by Lars von Trier; the opening scenes were shot with a super-high-speed camera, which renders as a fluid, graceful slow motion. Most of the rest of the movie is shot with a handheld, or “shaky cam,” setting the tone for the emotional and spiritual conflicts that ripple through the movie. How do you want the setting of your film to look? Can you film it in a real location, or will you have to build a set? The sweeping panoramas of the big screen epics of the 60s and 70s relied on a combination of wide-open spaces and studio-lot sets. Scenes from The Shining were shot at a ski lodge in Oregon. Dogville was shot on a bare stage, with only suggestions of buildings as props. Films rely heavily on the costumes to communicate essential character traits to the viewer. "Men in Black" is a key example. Some movies feature soft, almost gauzy lighting that makes the actors and the sets look significantly more appealing, and the entire film more dreamlike; others favor a lighting style that looks closer to reality, and some people push the edges and go for a really hard light that is almost cutting. Check out Domino with Keira Knightley. If you're going to shoot on-location, find the area you want and make sure it's available for filming. If you're working on a set, start building and "dressing" (or adding props) them. If possible, using actual locations is easier. Green screens can look very fake in certain locations but you can use one if you want. It's more simple to film in a diner than make a room look like one.

TL;DR in English:


Find a line drawing of the Eiffel tower. Enlarge the drawing, if necessary. Trace, photocopy, or print the drawing. Tape your drawing to a flat work surface. Cover your template with a piece of clear plastic.

Transfer the grilled steak to a carving board and let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes. By allowing the steak to rest, you give the juices a chance to redistribute themselves in the meat. You will end up with a more thoroughly juicy steak as a result. Hold the steak steady with a meat fork and use your other hand to slice the meat with a carving knife.  Use a carving knife with a thin blade. Turn the steak so that the long end faces you. The muscle fibers, or "grain," should run horizontally. Hold the knife at a 45 degree angle and cut the steak across the grain. Do not cut the steak alongside the grain, since doing so will result in tough, chewy meat. Carne asada is best served hot.

TL;DR in English: Let the steak rest. Carve the steak into 1/4-inch (6-mm) thick slices. Serve immediately.

Euphemisms are relatively harmless words or phrases that are used in place of more offensive ones. Using a euphemism instead of a swear word is a quick an easy way to clean up your vocabulary. Many existing swear words also have common euphemisms. For instance, try saying:  “Funk!” instead of “f***!” “Darn!” instead of “damn!” “What the eff?”, "What the heck?", or "What the barnacles?" instead of “What the f***?”. Also "What the hell?" (acceptable with limitations). “SOB” instead of “Son of a b****” “BS” instead of “bull s***!” “Screwed up," "stinks," or "sucks" instead of “f***ed up” “Goofball” instead of “dumba**” "Rats!" instead of "crap!" or "s***!" Since these words are newly invented, they won’t offend some people like swear words will. Use your imagination to invent replacement words and phrases like:  "Boccalocca" "Egumwalasha!" “Dinglebuff” “I literally buhdangled my pants” “He was so glogged up” “I got my weewuu beat at bowling last night” “I can’t find my nogwrangling keys!” Some words that were once used as offensive swear words have either become more acceptable, or have generally been forgotten. You can have fun researching some of these words and phrases, and practice using them to replace contemporary swear words. Some examples include:  “Consarn it!” instead of “damn it!” “Zooterkins” (a seventeenth-century term for “God’s wounds!” or “Zounds”!) “Sard” (an Old English term for f***) “Waesucks” (means “woe’s sakes,” but can be used in place of "s***!") “Gadzbudlikins!” (unknown derivation) “Fopdoodle” for “dumba**” Science fiction books, films, and television shows often invent alternative languages, including swear words. You can use some of these as less offensive replacements for swear words. For instance:  “Ying-takh!” or “puh-takh,” from Klingon, to replace the “S” or “F” words. “Frack” or “frak” from Battlestar Galactica, to replace the “F” word “Goram,” from the Firefly series, to replace “G** d***!” You can use swear words from foreign languages as replacements. Since others around you...

TL;DR in English: Use euphemisms. Invent new, inoffensive expletives You can invent nonsense words to use instead of swear words. Use outdated swear terms. Borrow fictional swear words. Swear in a foreign language. Bleep yourself. Speak eloquently.

Many home churches begin by studying religious doctrine with likeminded church goers. Studying doctrine can be a good way to gauge whether your congregation works well together. Study doctrine from your religion when you first start meeting with potential members of your home church to establish spiritual beliefs as an organization.  Most religious doctrine is subject to a variety of interpretations. Studying doctrine together can help you get a feel for your church's spiritual beliefs and values. Find common beliefs to draw from as you form a church. Schedule a regular meeting time for low-key readings and discussions. Do not appoint a lot of leaders or establish a budget. Let everyone get comfortable with one another first. Existing churches may want to help out a home church. Home churches are not necessarily seen as a threat or a challenge to existing religious institutions. Established churches will be understanding if a home church exists because certain people have trouble attending regular church services for a variety of reasons. Consider approaching a church for sponsorship.  Choose a church that you respect and whose beliefs align with your own. Part of the benefit of a sponsoring church is that you have a higher authority to draw judgment from. In a home church, strong personalities can take over and guide your church in unwanted directions. A sponsoring church can help your congregation stay grounded. Schedule a time to visit with the leader of the church you choose. Have a sit down meeting and explain your reasons for wanting to start a home church. Tell them you want a sponsoring church to guide you in your early days of leadership. As you start to gather members, think about why you started a home church to begin with. Draw in people with similar beliefs from your religious community. At first, many people may come and go from your home church out of curiosity. Learn to figure out which people fit in with your church's goals and values and reach out to them specifically to grow your...

TL;DR in English: Start off with studying religious doctrine at home. Seek sponsorship from an existing church. Think about the people you want to reach. Start with a small group. Keep the size manageable.

Fill a fine misting spray bottle with 70% rubbing alcohol. Spray it on the hovering fruit flies. They'll fall to the floor and you can sweep them up and dispose of them. You can also spray 91% rubbing alcohol in the air and to saturate any eggs. This stronger alcohol kills them immediately and serves as a very effective disinfectant. The stronger alcohol option can cost as much as .50-$1.00 more per container. It is much more powerful than traditional 70% rubbing alcohol . One should take precautionary measures such as ventilating the area and wearing gloves. 91% rubbing alcohol is far less poisonous, caustic, or dangerous than an insecticide or pesticide.   Windex is another instant killer of most small bugs. If you find a patch of fruit flies in an area you are willing to get wet, give them a few quick sprays of Windex and watch them suffer. Another spray method is to use Clorox cleaning spray. Wipe down surfaces and dead flies afterwards. However, you'll need to ventilate the room you're spraying because the smell can be somewhat overwhelming; not recommended if you're worried about toxic indoor air or you're spraying near food preparation surfaces. You can even use a fine mist bottle to spray mobs of flies with plain water; they will drop to the surface below. Because their wings are damp, they will be momentarily unable to fly, so you can easily squash them and clean them up. Pyrethrin is an insecticide that effectively kills adult fruit flies, but not their eggs. Be sure to use it according to the instructions. Avoid directly spraying it over fruit or in food preparation areas.  This product comes in an aerosol can that can be used to spray fruit flies as you see them. It kills them on contact. You can buy an automatic pyrethrin dispenser to deal with high volumes of fruit flies in one area. There are several drain gels on the market that are formulated to fruit flies and eggs infesting kitchen drains. If boiling water and soap don't do the trick, consider trying a gel. Follow the manufacturer's...

TL;DR in English: Make fruit fly spray. Use pyrethrin spray. Treat your drain with gel. Try a professional-grade treatment.

The drawing needs to be of the Eiffel tower from the side and straight-on. The lines must also be sharp and clear. Do not use a blurry or low-quality drawing.  Do not use photographs; the trees, people, and buildings will get in in the way. Do not use a drawing that includes more than 1 side of the Eiffel tower. You will make each side 4 times, then glue it together to make a 3D tower. The drawing will be your final template, so make sure that it is the size you want your tower to be. If you found your drawing in a book, you may be able to enlarge it using a photocopier. If you found your drawing online, then use an image editing program, such as Photoshop or Paint, to make the drawing bigger. Photoshop, or a similar program, will be your best choice for enlarging the image because you can set the size to inches or centimeters. If you are good at drawing, you can trace the drawing using tracing paper and a pen or pencil. If you found the drawing in a book, then you should photocopy it. If you found the drawing online, print it out instead.  If you are printing a large image, be aware that you may need to print it out on multiple pages. Tape or glue multiple pages together to create a single image. Make sure that the lines flow smoothly into one another. Do not overlap the lines or leave gaps between them. Place your drawing on a table, and tape down the bottom corners. If your drawing is on a single sheet of paper, tape down the top corners as well. If your drawing is on multiple sheets of paper, leave the top corners alone. If your drawing spans multiple pages, you will need to shift these pages down and re-tape them as you move from section to section. This will allow you to glue your pieces to the template, then peel them off. A page protector or clear page (like the kind you'd use in an overhead projector) will work the best. Place the plastic over the base of your drawing, and secure the edges to your table with tape so that it does not slide around. You can use wax paper, parchment paper, or even...

Take the extra 10 or 15 minutes you need to look your absolute best before you see your crush. Even just small things can change you from someone in the background to someone who catches their attention. Not only can looking your best make your crush notice you, it can also give you the confidence boost you need to approach your crush.  Pay attention to your hair. Even doing a quick comb through can make a big difference. For girls especially, straightening or curling their hair can give them a confidence boost. If you wear makeup, make sure that it is applied well and will last all day. Also make sure that you are taking care of your body in general by getting enough sleep and taking care of your skin so you look fresh and healthy. Dressing differently than the people around you is a good way to get noticed. This works especially well if you are in an environment where everyone dresses in a similar way.  If people at your school dress similarly or in uniform, wear a statement necklace or a pair of cool sneakers to catch the attention of your crush. If you are in a professional work environment, wear something that is appropriate but different. For instance, wear a collared shirt with an interesting pattern or a sparkly headband. If red is your color, go for it. Studies show that both genders are more attracted to people when they wear red. Pull out a red dress or shirt from your closet to get your crush’s attention. If you don’t like wearing red, choose another bright color to help you stand out from the crowd. When trying to impress a crush, it’s easy to take it too far. You want to look nice, but remember to wear clothing that’s appropriate for the situation.  For instance, if your crush is in your yoga class, don’t dress for class like you’re headed to the red carpet. Remember that everything is better in moderation. This goes for perfume and cologne as well. Do your best to be in the line of sight of your crush. If you are in the same class, try to sit near or in front of him. If you see him at the gym,...

TL;DR in English: Spend extra time on your appearance. Look different. Wear red. Don’t go overboard with your outfit. Make sure your crush has seen you around. Get more involved.

Starting treatment early is key to helping kids with cerebral palsy achieve the best quality of life. Set up an appointment with your child’s doctor as soon as possible to start building a treatment plan. Even if your child is still an infant, you can start working on setting basic care and treatment goals with their pediatrician and other medical specialists. Talk to your doctor about what sorts of goals are appropriate for your child’s age range. Every CP patient is different. Before you can set goals for your child, it’s important to understand their specific needs, strengths, and limitations. Work with your child’s doctor to get as clear an understanding as possible of your child’s condition and what therapies will work best for your child. Before any appointment with your child’s doctor:  Write down any concerns and questions you want to bring up with the doctor. Write down a list of any symptoms your child is currently experiencing. Gather any relevant information or documents about your child’s medical history, such as lab test results, imaging scans, and medical records from other healthcare providers. Make note of any personal challenges your child might be facing at the moment, such as stress related to school or home life. Your child’s pediatrician and any other medical specialists on their care team (such as neurologists, orthopedic specialists, and physical therapists) can help you develop both long- and short-term goals related to your child’s medical care and treatment. Depending on your child’s specific needs, these goals might include things like:  Preventing the development of complications related to CP, such as respiratory diseases. Maximizing your child’s nutritional health by making dietary adjustments or strengthening the muscles involved in chewing and swallowing. Preparing your child for a particular medical procedure, such as orthopedic surgery. Pain can be a serious issue for children with CP. The best approach to managing your child’s pain will depend on their specific...

TL;DR in English: Start working on treatment goals immediately after their diagnosis. Talk to your child’s doctor about their symptoms and prognosis. Discuss general treatment goals with your child’s healthcare team. Talk to your child’s doctor about pain management goals. Work with a physical therapist to set mobility goals.

Generally, you become eligible to apply for permanent residency only after having legally lived in Norway under a residence permit for at least 3 years. Residency permits typically are granted for work or study in the country.  If you are a spouse or unmarried partner cohabiting with a Norwegian national who works in a Norwegian embassy or consulate, you are exempt from the residency requirement. If you are an EU national, you automatically acquire permanent residency in Norway after living there for 5 years. You must provide proof that you have been living legally in the country for 5 years, and that you are working, studying, or otherwise self-sufficient. Although many Norwegians speak English, if you want to become a permanent resident of the country, you must demonstrate your proficiency in the national language. Free online courses in Norwegian are available at https://www.ntnu.edu/learnnow/. There are other options available for learning Norwegian for free, or you can pay for commercial courses or private tutoring. Find links to additional language resources at https://www.kompetansenorge.no/English/Immigrant-integration/#Norwegianlanguagetuition_5. If you are between the ages of 16 and 55, you must pass an oral test in Norwegian at a minimum level of A1, and pass a written test in Norwegian social studies given in the language of your choice.  For the Norwegian language test, go to https://www.kompetansenorge.no/norwegian-language-test/. On this page, you can register to take the test either in the summer (June 5 – 12) or winter (November 26 – December 6). The page includes links to study materials and a practice test. To sign up for the social studies test, go to https://www.kompetansenorge.no/test-in-social-studies/. During the 3 years you live in Norway prior to applying for permanent residency, you can't have any criminal convictions. You also won't be eligible for permanent residency if you were ordered into involuntary psychiatric treatment or care. Having a conviction doesn't mean you can never...

TL;DR in English: Hold a valid residency permit for at least 3 years. Become proficient in the Norwegian language. Take Norwegian language and social studies tests. Keep your criminal record clean. Register on the Application Portal. Demonstrate that you have financially supported yourself. Pay your permit fees. Take your supporting documents to the nearest police station. Wait for notification. Book an appointment at the police station. Receive your residence card in the mail.

A singly even square has a number of boxes per side that’s divisible by 2. A doubly even square has a number of boxes per side divisible by double that — 4. The smallest doubly-even box that can be made is a 4x4 square. Use the same method as you would with odd-numbered or singly-even magic squares: the magic constant = [n * (n^2 + 1)] / 2, where n = the number of boxes per side. So, in the example of a 4x4 square:  sum = [4 * (4^2 + 1)] / 2 sum = [4 * (16 + 1)] / 2 sum = (4 * 17) / 2 sum = 68 / 2 The magic constant for a 4x4 square is 68/2, or 34. All rows, columns, and diagonals must add up to this number. In each corner of the magic square, mark a mini-square with sides a length of n/4, where n = the length of a side of the whole magic square. Label them Highlights A, B, C, and D in a counter-clockwise manner.  In a 4x4 square, you would simply mark the four corner boxes. In an 8x8 square, each Highlight would be a 2x2 area in the corners. In a 12x12 square, each Highlight would be a 3x3 area in the corners, and so on. Mark all the boxes in the center of the magic square in a square area of length n/2, where n = the length of a side of the whole magic square. The Central Highlight should not overlap with Highlights A-D at all, but touch each of them at the corners.  In a 4x4 square, the Central Highlight would be a 2x2 area in the center. In an 8x8 square, the Central Highlight would be a 4x4 area in the center, and so on. Begin filling in the numbers of your magic square from left to right, but only write in the number if the box falls into a Highlight. So, in a 4x4 box, you would fill in the following boxes:  1 in the top-left box and 4 in the top-right box 6 and 7 in the center boxes in Row 2 10 and 11 in the center boxes in Row 3 13 in the bottom-left box and 16 in the bottom-right box. The is essentially the inverse of the previous step. Begin again with the top left box, but this time, skip all boxes that fall in Highlighted area, and fill in non-higlighted boxes by counting backwards. Begin with the...

TL;DR in English: Understand what a doubly even square is. Calculate the magic constant. Create Highlights A-D. Create the Central Highlight. Fill in the magic square, but only in Highlighted areas. Fill in the rest of the magic square by counting backwards.

Feed the spline through the spline roller starting from the back (concave) to the front (convex). Roll the front spline all the way around the front circular leg. Now, starting in the corner of the frame, push the front circular leg down the frame channel, making sure that the back leg follows behind. Continue rolling the spline in to the other end of the frame, keeping both legs straight the whole time.  When using a spline roller, always make sure the legs are aligned with the channel and don't come loose as you move. Press firmly down onto the mount to keep it steady as you drag the spline roller through the frame channel. Pull the screen material tightly away from the frame as you move the spline roller. Remove all of the spline from the roller. Now, with the back (concave) end facing forward, roll the mouse wheels along the channels to ensure all of the spline is firmly in place. Press firmly down on the roller as you move along the channels. Pull on the excess spline away from the frame. Place the utility knife at a 45-degree angle and pull it along the frame outline right above the spline. Continue this for all 4 sides, taking care to make even cuts. Apply a firm amount of pressure down on the knife when making your cuts. Before mounting your window screen, position the spline inside your home. In addition, make sure any spring clips face upward to fit into the top window slot. Be sure the spline is firmly connected to the aluminum frame before installing it in your window opening.

Place a piece of paper on a surface. Obtain manufacturer-approved oil. Apply the oil to the paper in a zigzag pattern. Turn the paper shredder on and shred the oil-covered paper. Add a few more papers into the shredder to absorb the excess oil.

A bathroom fan is very effective at reducing the humidity in the room. Turn the fan on when you start running the bath or the shower and keep it on for at least 5 minutes afterward to help clear the steam. If possible, try to keep the fan on until all of the steam is gone. Open the window and turn the fan on to reduce the humidity the most effectively. Mold grows faster when there are high humidity and water levels, such as when the bath or shower are used. Open the window straight after using the bath or shower to let the excess water evaporate and the steam escape. Keep the window open until the bathroom is dry. Try to remember to open the window every time to limit mold growth. Although regular cleaning and keeping the bathroom well-ventilated should be effective at keeping mold at bay, sometimes these precautions aren’t enough. If you find a spot in your bathroom where mold keeps returning, use a cleaning cloth to dry it whenever there is excess water.  Some common mold areas may include the basin or the shower tiles. You can use a squeegee instead of a cloth on tiles and glass doors.

TL;DR in English: Turn the bathroom fan on when the bath or shower is in use. Open the window after you have a bath or a shower. Dry all of the surfaces if you are worried about the moisture levels.

Before you begin snow blowing, clear off your car if it's out in the driveway or parked in the street. This will prevent you from having to clear the snow around your car after snow blowing. Then clear any walkways leading from the driveway to your front door. If there is no wind, start in the center of the driveway. Keep the snow nozzle pointed outward towards the yard surrounding the driveway. Work in circles, moving outward as you go. If there is a wind, point the snow nozzle in the direction the wind blows. Start in the upward direction of the wind, moving your snow blower side to side. Move your snow chute as necessary to keep it pointed in the direction of the wind. While you can remove most of the snow with a snow blower, there may be small bits of snow accumulated when you finish. There may be snow stuck in tight or narrow spots in the driveway that are difficult to reach with a snow blower. Use a shovel to clear out these spots. Alternatively, if you know there are difficult areas, clear those areas first so that you do not have to shovel them later.

TL;DR in English: Clear off your car and walkways first. Make circular motions if there is no wind. Work side to side if there is wind. Shovel any remaining snow.

Look for styles in bold colors, or those with some embellishment or decoration. Opt for closed-toe pumps or open-toe pumps over strappy styles. Thin, extremely high heels are generally associated with sexiness. Consider “kitten heels” or other lower varieties to keep a ladylike appearance. Scarves are in style, and they come in a variety of colors, patterns, and looks. They also have the added benefit of covering more skin at the base of your neck and top of your chest. There is a broad range of fashionable hat styles, ranging from the fedora to the newsboy cap to the bucket hat. Look for one that suits the shape of your face and your personal taste. Buy a few in that style and wear them when you go out for an added, modest boost of style. Wear one key piece at a time, or coordinate multiple pieces at once to bring color to your entire ensemble. Let your imagination run free while selecting watches, necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings. Stay away from non-traditional pieces, however, like lip rings, eyebrow rings, and tongue rings. Nearly any standard purse will be a modest accessory. Look for a medium size in a neutral color for the most versatility, or mix things up by carrying around a large shoulder bag in a bold color.

TL;DR in English: Try a variety of heels, fashion boots, and flats. Stick with shoes that look classy over shoes that look sexy. Mind your heel height and thickness. Consider a trendy fashion scarf. Don a hat. Wear colorful jewelry. Sling a fashionable bag over your shoulder.

The best way to sterilize the needle before using it is with flame. Hold the needle over the flame of a candle or a lighter until it glows. Make sure you hold the other end with tongs, or you'll burn your fingertips. Once the needle is sterile, wrap it in cotton thread.  Start about 1⁄8 inch (0.3 cm) away from the tip and wrap the thread back and forth about 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) up the needle until the thread has formed an oval shape. This will absorb some of the ink as you dip your needle into the saucer. Dip the needle into the India ink and then poke it through your skin, leaving a small dot. There may be some blood after several layers of poking, but there shouldn't be much.  If blood is dripping/excessive, stop immediately and sterilize. Hold a clean paper towel, not cloth, onto the tattoo until it stops bleeding . Stay inside the line of the tattoo design you've drawn, filling it in with tiny punctures. Use a cotton swab or a rag to wipe away any blood or excess ink. The skin may swell up a bit as you poke it which may cause the resulting tattoo to appear spotty. You may have to do touch-ups when the swelling goes down if you want smooth lines throughout the tattoo. Wait to do touch ups until after the tattoo is completely healed, which can take up to two months. When you finish the tattoo, wipe down the area with soapy water. Throw away any remaining India ink in the ink cap and needles. They are no longer sterile. Use a new needle and a new saucer of ink if you plan on doing any touch-ups in the future. Avoid cleaning a fresh tattoo with alcohol -- use soap and water, instead.

TL;DR in English: Sterilize the needle. Start poking. Start working your way along the lines. Clean the tattooed area.

Place a sheet of paper (letter size or A4 is best) on a surface that can be cleaned from oil. Oil may spill on this surface so make sure it cannot be damaged if it does spill. Purchase the oil recommended for your paper shredder by the manufacturer. Different shredders will use different oils and will usually sell the oil where you purchased your shredder. If you are using an old and/or out of warranty paper shredder, you can use canola oil as a substitute rather than purchasing oil. The oil produced by some brands is actually just repackaged canola oil so you can save a little money by using canola oil. Drizzle the oil over the paper in a zigzag pattern on one side of the paper. Try not to saturate the paper or put too much oil or else it can get a little messy. Make sure the zigzags stretch all the way from side to side to ensure sufficient coverage. Shred the oil-covered paper by running it through the machine. As the paper gets shredded the oil will coat the blades, which then redistribute the oil. This keeps the shredder operating smoothly. Ensure that paper is not creased and damaged or it may cause a malfunction in the machine. Pass a few more pieces of paper into the shredder so that they absorb the extra oil left on the blades.

TL;DR in English:


Have a friend measure your torso with a flexible cloth tape measure. Go to an outdoor store that offers a wide variety of packs to try on. Choose a size of backpack based on your torso length. Try on as many packs as you can to find the best one for you.

Make the invitations in such a way that it reflects your personality.  You can use Microsoft Word to make them, or write them by hand. It doesn't really matter, as long as the guests know all the information. On the invitations, include who the party is for, what day it is, what time it starts and ends, where your house is, and your phone number (RSVP). Write the RSVP deadline date, and tell the guests what to bring (sleeping bag, clothes, pillow, etc.). Put the invitations in envelopes and mail them (or hand them out at school). At most sleepovers, the host makes gift bags for the guests.  Get a bag for each guest, and write their name on it (decorate if desired). Inside the gift bags, put in candy, mini notebooks, gel pens, nail polish, make-up, and/or anything else you think your friends would like. Lay all the bags out on a table before the party (but don't give the bags to them until it is over.) Or, you can hide the gift bags at the end of the party and turn it into a scavenger hunt.

TL;DR in English: Make the invitations. Make up the gift bags.

For a slim chicken costume, you can stick with one leotard. For a plump chicken, you will need two. Wrap two to four white feather boas around the body of one leotard. Start in the center back of the neck and secure the boa to the fabric with safety pins.  Make sure that the boas are wrapped with a few spare inches in each parallel, so that the costume can be filled with batting. Meanwhile, spiral the boas as closely as you can to each other so that you can get full coverage in your costume. For a more durable costume, sew the feather boas to the leotard. Choose sweater tights or lined tights so that your skin doesn't show through. Wrap several layers of white wool batting around your torso to make a plump chicken. Then, pull the feathered leotard over the wool batting.

If you discover that you are pregnant, speak with your doctor about whether or not it’s safe to continue your vegetarian diet. You and your baby can get plenty of nutrition from a vegetarian diet, but your doctor may have special suggestions on getting the right balance of nutrients from your food choices.  If you are a pescatarian, or eat fish on occasion, you may need to limit the types of fish you eat. For instance, you'll need to avoid the big, predatory fish like tuna and mackerel. The smaller the fish, the less mercury it will have, so choose fish like sardines and anchovies.  Also avoid soft cheeses like brie and blue cheese, as these are made from unpasteurized milk. A soft cheese made with pasteurized milk is safe. Also, do not drink "raw" milk, which is milk that is not pasteurized. Women who are pregnant have special dietary needs, and if you are a pregnant vegetarian, you will need to adjust your diet even more to keep you and your unborn baby healthy. Consult a registered dietician to discuss your specific dietary needs and how you can best get all of the vitamins and nutrients necessary to maintain your health. Vegetarian women may lack important vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, Vitamin B12, and essential fatty acids. This deficit can become more acute if you are a pregnant vegetarian. A registered dietician may help you develop an eating plan that ensures you and your baby get sufficient nutrients. With your doctor or dietician, develop a sensible vegetarian meal plan that will sustain you and your baby throughout pregnancy. Keeping a food diary can help you keep track of the types of food you’re eating and ensure that you’re getting a varied range of essential nutrients.  Be sure to show your food diary to your doctor or dietician.

Make sure your TV and cable box are both on so you can see the image on the screen. Look on the remote that controls your cable and locate a button that says Menu, which is usually at the top or in the middle of the remote. Once you click the button, a pop-up menu should show up on your TV screen.  The button on your remote may also have a picture of a gear on it, or it may have an icon with 2-3 horizontal lines. If you aren’t sure where the Menu button is, look for its user manual to find the button configuration. There may also be a Menu button on the front panel of your cable box if you don’t have your remote. If the image on your TV is frozen, you may not be able to access the menus. Use the arrow buttons on your remote to scroll through the menu options on screen. Look for an option that says Settings or Support before clicking the OK or Enter button. A different menu will appear on screen with new options for adjusting the settings on your cable box. Some cable boxes also have arrow buttons on them so you can navigate through the menus without your remote. Scroll through the options in the Settings menu and search for one that says Reset or Restart. Press the OK or Enter button once you highlight the Restart option to start the process. If there’s a pop-up confirmation asking if you want to Restart, click on the Yes option. If you have multiple cable boxes in your home, they may not work while you’re restarting the main box. It may take a few minutes for your cable box to boot up again, so wait patiently while it’s restarting. The image on your TV may flash on and off while the cable box reboots or it may have a loading bar. Once the system boots back up, check if you’re still having the same problems as before. If you’re still having problems with your cable box, you can try restarting it again or you can contact your cable provider’s customer support.

TL;DR in English: Open the menu on the cable box using your remote. Navigate to the Settings option in the cable menu. Check for a Reset or Restart option in the Settings. Wait until your cable box reboots completely to see if it worked.

Plastic rice beads are available online and at some art supply stores. They’re used to cushion shipped cargo and for crafts projects. When you conduct your experiments, you could compare a sample of plastic rice with the rice you want to test.  Some people have seen videos of plastic rice beads being produced and assume that they're made just to be passed off as food. However, plastic rice beads are more expensive to produce than actual rice, so it wouldn’t be profitable to try to substitute plastic for the real thing. If you just want to test a small amount, drop a tablespoon of rice into a glass of water. To test a larger batch, add the rice to a large pot and cover it with 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) of water.  If you’re also testing a sample of plastic rice, add it to a separate container of water. Mix up the rice and water for a few seconds. Then give the mixture about 30 seconds to stop swirling. Because of its density, rice sinks in water. If any grains float to the surface after the water settles, you should be suspicious. The difference will be obvious if you’re also testing a sample of plastic beads.  You might see bits and pieces of dirt and other debris float, but all the grains of rice should sink. Aside from verifying its authenticity, soaking and rinsing rice before cooking removes impurities and helps separate the grains. In the end, you'll have a fluffier, less sticky bowl of cooked rice.

TL;DR in English: Purchase plastic rice beads if you want a comparison. Add rice to a glass of water. Stir the water and let it settle. Look for grains that floats to the surface.

Measure from your iliac crest (the very top of your hip bone) to your C7 vertebrae (the vertebrae at the base of your neck). This will give you your torso length to use to determine your pack size.  Find your C7 vertebrae by standing up straight and bending your head forward and down at the neck. The neck vertebrae that sticks out the farthest is your C7 vertebrae. The iliac crest is the top of the pelvic bone that sticks out at the side of your torso. Feel where the pelvic bone sticks out at the frontside of your stomach with your fingers, then follow it back by running your fingertips along it to find the top of it )just below your ribcage). Place your hands on your hips, between your thumb and forefinger, to mark the line of the iliac crest for the helper. They can then place the measuring tape in the center of your back between your 2 thumbs to line it up with your iliac crest. You want to try on several different packs to test out the subtle differences in construction and find the best fit. Your torso size is a general guideline, but different packs will fit your body type differently.  Outdoor outfitters like REI in the United States or MEC in Canada are great stores to go shopping for a pack. You can also get measured for a pack at the store if you can’t find a friend to do it for you or you don’t have a flexible tape measure. Look for an extra-small pack if your torso length is up to about 15.5 in (39 cm) or a small pack if your torso length is between 16–17.5 in (41–44 cm). Find a medium pack if your torso length is between 18–19.5 in (46–50 cm) or a large pack if it is more than 20 in (51 cm).  These sizes are approximate and can vary from company to company, so make sure to check sizing charts for each brand of pack you want to try on. Many packs are adjustable and can fit a range of torso lengths, so there is no substitute for trying on packs and adjusting all their straps to check the fit. Never pick the first backpack you try on, even if you think it fits perfectly. Try on all the packs of your...

Self-storage is a fast growing sector of small business and real estate, and it can be highly profitable if you get it right. In order to give yourself the best possible chance, it's essential that you gain a strong understanding of the sector before committing a lot of time, effort and money into getting your business off the ground. You need to have a clear picture of the local demand, the local competition and the kind of costs and profits you might be looking at.  Start by searching online and through paper listings for self-storage businesses operating in your locality. Look at the prices they charge and the kind of capacity and service they can offer. An area with a lot of storage business suggests high demand, but also may be already well-catered for. According to one analysis, sites that are three or four years old, and are only 70 per cent occupied indicate a soft market that you should avoid.  Trade journals and specialist websites are generally excellent sources of trade specific information. Once you have an idea about the local storage market, you should try to articulate what it is exactly that you want to create. Are you looking to create a small business that you can run part-time from home to supplement your income? Or are you interested in building a larger business that you will need to invest much more time and money into? Before you go any further you need to draw up some figures for your estimated start-up costs. These are costs that you will have to pay to get the business off the ground, sometimes known as sunk costs. Start-up costs should be separate to your ongoing maintenance and business costs, and it's important that you are certain you can raise the finance first.  Your start-up costs might include the initial rental costs for the storage facility or land you will be using, the costs of hosting a website, and the promotional material you will use to launch your business. This information will feed into your business plan. . The business plan is the most crucial document for your...

The sockets are color-coded to match the cable (Green, Blue, Red, White, Red) and are typically grouped and labeled. Look for the "Output" or "Out" group. The Green, Blue, and Red sockets (Video) may be separated from the Red and White pair (Audio), so make sure all five cords are plugged in.  You will notice that a component cable has two Red plugs, which can make things confusing. To figure out which is which, lay the cable out flat so that all of the prongs line up. The order of colors should be Green, Blue, Red (video), White, Red (audio). Some component cables only have the Green, Blue, and Red video plugs. You will need a separate Red and White plug audio cable in order to hear your DVDs, like the one found in the A/V section above. Like on the DVD player, these will be color-coded to match the cable and grouped into Input groups. Look for the "Input" or "In" group. They are typically numbered to indicate which Input you select on the TV. Match the colored plugs on the cable to the colored sockets on both the DVD player and TV. Insert a DVD so that you can test both the picture and the audio. Sometimes labeled "input," this button allows you to switch where your TV gets the video and sound information. The input you choose on the TV should match the input you used for the cables. If there is not a label or you don't know what input to use, leave the DVD player on and test each input for 5-10 seconds to see where the video appears If you are only getting video or only getting audio, or you aren't getting any signal at all, your cable may be plugged in incorrectly.  If the video is not showing up, make sure that the Green, Blue, and Red video cables are plugged into the correct Input on the TV and the correct Output on the DVD player. If the audio is not coming through, ensure that the Red and White cables are plugged into the correct Input on the TV and the correct Output on the DVD player. Double check that the Red cables are plugged into the correct sockets. If they are in the wrong ones, both the...

TL;DR in English: Plug all five cords on one end into the corresponding sockets on the DVD player. Plug the other side of the cables into the input sockets on the TV. Make sure your connections are snug and matched to the right color. Power on the DVD player and TV. Switch the TV to the correct input using the "source" button on your TV or Remote. Ensure that your component cable is plugged in correctly.

Not every bank or lender is in the business of offering personal loans without credit checks. Start by calling the local bank or credit union you normally do business with and if they don't offer this type of loan, expand your search to other banks in your area.  Compare the interest rate offered on personal loans without credit checks. You may be able to find what appears to be a high-interest conventional loan, until you compare it to the interest rates on payday loans, cash advances, and title loans. Lower interest means less money out of your pocket over the term of the loan. Many lenders charge significant fees for putting through personal loans without credit check requirements. Loan origination and other items may show up on your overall personal loan, folded into monthly payments. Look out for excessive fees and don't be afraid to walk away from deals that seem too expensive. You may be able to use internet micro lending services (also called peer to peer lending) to help you find loans for amounts under $35,000. They may do a credit check, but this is only to set interest rates, not to disqualify you. Popular micro lending sites include Kiva, Prosper and Lending Club. If you have anything of value such as jewelry, electronics, artwork, etc., you can bring it to a pawn shop and they will give you cash for what they believe it is worth. The merchandise is held for a specific period of time, and if you don't repay the loan on time they will sell it.

TL;DR in English: Find a willing traditional lender. Evaluate costs and fees. Consider micro lending. Investigate a pawn shop loan.

Hemp seed oil may relieve itching and help to moisturize dry rashes. Try putting a few drops of hemp seed oil on your fingertips and smoothing the hemp seed oil over your face. Do this twice per day after washing your face.  Test the hemp seed oil on the inside of your elbow before putting it on your face to make sure you don't have a reaction, which will only make your rash worse. Make sure that you wash your hands after touching your face to prevent spreading the rash. Aloe vera gel has antibacterial properties and it can help to soothe a rash. Try applying a thin layer of aloe vera gel to your face. Allow the aloe vera to dry on your face. Repeat this process a couple of times per day. Remember to wash your hands after applying the aloe vera gel. Colloidal oatmeal baths can help to soothe a rash on your body, but you may also use colloidal oatmeal on your face. You can purchase colloidal oatmeal in a drug store.  Try adding a couple of tablespoons of colloidal oatmeal to a bowl of warm water, then dip a clean cotton washcloth in the solution. Use the washcloth to gently dab colloidal oatmeal water on your face. Leave the oatmeal solution on your face for a few minutes, then rinse your face with lukewarm water. Repeat this process a few times per day until your rash clears. Some herbs have soothing properties that may also help to get rid of a rash on your face. To use soothing herbs, try brewing a tea and using it in place of water for a cool compress.  Measure out a teaspoon of goldenseal, calendula, and Echinacea.  Place the herbs in a mug and pour boiling water over them. Allow the herbs to steep for about five minutes. Then, strain the herbs out of the tea. Let the water cool down to room temperature or place in the refrigerator for about an hour to chill the solution. Dip a clean cotton washcloth in the solution, wring out the excess and apply the compress to your face for about five to 10 minutes. Repeat this process twice daily. If rash worsens with any topical "natural" remedies, discontinue use....

TL;DR in English: Smooth on a bit of hemp seed oil. Apply aloe vera gel. Use colloidal oatmeal. Create an herbal compress. Use a witch hazel toner and follow it with a coconut oil moisturizer.

If a student starts to get violently angry, your first priority is to keep the other students safe.    If there is bullying going on in your classroom, learn strategies to stop bullying. You might think about dismissing the class early if the situation escalates. Don’t engage with the student until he has calmed down. Remain calm yourself, and don’t take sides. It may be a natural move to put your hand on the student’s shoulder to try calming them down. But when someone is angry, it is sometimes unclear what they may do in response. Maintain your distance from the student. If the situation has escalated, ask another student to get help. Having another teacher or person of authority may help diffuse the situation and can give you support. If there is a troublesome incident, such as a violent or excessively angry student, you should keep a record of what happened. Immediately after the incident occurs, write down what happened. Include details about what happened, when it happened, the names of those involved, and so on. Give a copy of this account to your administration. Also keep a copy in case a parent wants to see it. If the incident was severe, you or your principal will likely need to contact the student’s parents. Tell them the facts about what happened. Don’t add in your opinions. Stick to the facts. Use the conflict as a teachable moment. This is also a good time to reassure your students that they are safe in your classroom.

TL;DR in English: Keep the other students safe. Keep calm and neutral. Do not touch the student. Send a student for help. Document the incident. Contact the student’s parents. Talk with your students about the incident.

Remove existing baseboards, chair rails or skirt moldings. You should also remove outlet plates. Measure the linear footage of the room or wall with a tape measure in order to determine the number of panels you will need to purchase. Allow wood wainscot panels to acclimate in the room where they will be installed for at least 48 hours. This will prevent expansion and contraction of the paneling from occurring after installation. Establish a level line around the room for the top of the panels. Measure the appropriate height of the panels, up from the floor, and using a level as a straight edge, lightly pencil a guideline on each wall. A laser level will make this easiest. Use a stud finder tool, or gently tap the wall with a hammer, to locate the wall studs and mark them just above the level line. Apply construction adhesive to the back of a full panel and set it into place beginning in the corner of the room. Ensure the top of the panel is flush with your level line. Hold the panel in place and secure it with paneling nails. Try to anchor the molding into the marked wall studs whenever possible. Continue installing panels in the same manner, leaving 1/16 inch (2.54 cm) of space between each panel, until you arrive at the next corner.  The bottom of a piece can be sanded down or trimmed if there is variation in the floor and the piece will not fit. However, you should double check that the top level line was made correctly. You will need to cut a hole for an outlet when you see that a panel will cover one. Cover the outlet in brightly colored chalk, line up the panel, press the panel into the chalk to get your outline, and then cut out the shape with a jigsaw. Measure and cut the final panel with a jigsaw to accommodate the appropriate length of the wall. Ensure the molding is flush and level with the top of the wainscoting. Again, secure each piece to a wall stud when possible.
