Perform dips, either on a set of bars or a raised ledge. Try close-armed or diamond pushups. Try out some L-sits to work your triceps and core simultaneously. Try triceps extensions on a horizontal bar or surface. Give handstand push-ups a shot to really shred your triceps.

Spray tanning is a form of sunless tanning where a fine mist that includes tanning ingredients is sprayed onto your body (the same ingredient in self tanning lotion). Spray tans are growing in popularity because they are safe, easy, and fairly long-lasting (typically 7 days). The biggest drawback of spray tanning is the cost - usually $25-$50. There are a few things you should do to prepare yourself before getting a spray tan.  Shave or wax before your appointment. This will help the tan to better soak into your skin. Exfoliate your skin prior to your appointment. Getting rid of as much dead skin as possible will get you better results. Don't apply lotion, deodorant, or makeup prior to your appointment. Clean skin will soak in the tan much better. Wait 8 hours after your spray tan to shower or apply any lotion / moisturizer. Tanning beds use ultraviolet light to create UV radiation. This UV radiation creates a glow to tan the skin, just like UV light from the sun. Although tanning beds have become fairly popular, there are many health risks (including skin cancer) associated with them, and you must be careful if you choose to tan this way.  If you decide to use a tanning bed, a time of 7-11 minutes is recommended. Even if you tan often, never go in a tanning bed for more than 20 minutes at a time. Tanning 1-2 times per week is the recommended amount. Always wear tanning lotion and goggles to protect your skin and eyes from the potential harm of the UV rays. Most cities have tanning salons, so go online to find the tanning salon closest to you. Prices will vary from salon to salon, but member packages are usually available to help you save money if you plan on tanning multiple times. It's easy to miss the sun in the dead of winter, which is one of the reasons many people choose to tan. If you decide to tan under UV rays and sun beds, it is imperative that you take care of your skin.  These methods of tanning come with a high risk of skin cancer and speed up your skin's aging process. Always wear tanning lotion...

TL;DR in English: Get a spray tan. Use a tanning bed. Take care of your skin.

To be able to float on your back without panicking, you should be calm and relaxed in the water, even if you're not an expert swimmer. You should learn how to float on your back in a swimming pool, not an ocean or a lake with waves. Ideally, you should be reasonably comfortable in water and know how to swim from one end of a pool to the other without needing any help. If you're floating on your back as a way to learn how to swim, then you should take extra caution and be with your spotter at all times. Don't try to float on your back by yourself for the first time. Even if you've mastered other basic swimming techniques, if it's your first time trying to float on your back, you should not only have a spotter, but make sure that you're in a place with a lifeguard that can come to your rescue if you need the help. The spotter will place his hand under your back and will let you make the necessary adjustments to your body until you're comfortable trying the technique on your own. Using a PFD (personal flotation device) around your arms or mid-section can also make you get more comfortable in the water. If you've worked with a spotter but aren't quite ready to try floating on your back on your own, try wearing the device until you wean yourself off of it. Before you begin to float on your back on your own, you need to align your body with the water -- ideally, your body should start off in a position that is almost parallel to the water or bottom of the pool. You can even get on your back and kick off the side of the pool until your body naturally glides with the surface of the water. Once your body is aligned with the surface of the water and your back is relatively parallel to the water, it'll be much easier to make adjustments to the rest of your body.

TL;DR in English: Be comfortable in the water. Get a spotter. Try using a flotation device. Align your body with the surface of the water.

Before installing the new fuel filter, compare it to the one you just removed.  Make sure they appear to be the same outside diameter, that the nozzles are the same size, and that it will fit into the bracket.  If the fuel filters do not match, you will need to return the new one for the correct replacement filter. Do not attempt to use a fuel filter for a different application in your vehicle, as it may not be capable of allowing the appropriate volume of fuel to pass through it. Jack up the car to relieve the weight on the jack stands, then slide them out from beneath the vehicle.  Once the jack stands are clear, lower the vehicle to the ground by either releasing the pressure in the jack or turning the jack handle counter-clockwise, depending on your style of jack.  Be sure the jack stands are completely out of the way, otherwise they may damage the vehicle if lowered onto them. Once the vehicle is safely on the ground, reconnect the battery to complete the project.

TL;DR in English: Compare the new filter to the old one. Lower the vehicle off of the jack stands.

Once you've started taking antihistamines, talk to your doctor if your symptoms are severe or get worse. You should also call your doctor if you develop a nosebleed or other nasal symptoms. Tell your doctor if the symptoms don't lessen or go away. Common symptoms include:  Dizziness Dry mouth Feeling irritable, jittery, or excited Changes in vision, including blurred vision Loss of appetite If you start having shortness of breath or trouble breathing, contact emergency services right away. You may be having an anaphylactic reaction. Antihistamines may help with abnormal movements in patients with Parkinson's. Diphenhydramine can sometimes be used since it blocks the neurotransmitters. This helps control abnormal movements associated with early stage Parkinson’s or as a side effect of medication. Talk to your doctor about using antihistamines to help with your Parkinson’s. Children are particularly prone to medication overdose. If you notice any of the following symptoms after giving your child antihistamines take them to an emergency room immediately. Signs of an antihistamine overdose include:  Extreme drowsiness Confusion Agitation Muscle weakness Convulsions Hallucination

TL;DR in English: Call your doctor if you experience side effects after taking antihistamines. Ask your doctor about using antihistamines to manage Parkinson's. Get emergency medical attention if your child shows signs of an overdose.

Like in the major system, you assign each number a letter, although the associations are arbitrary. After converting the numbers to letters, you associate those letters with people and actions in the form of a story. Choose common letters that will be easy to make associations with. Consider using the following examples:  A B C D E S G H N O Mentally breaking up the sequencing of a longer number into several pairs of numbers will help you remember it more easily. For example: 827645 = HB GS DE Try to think of someone you know with those initials. Connecting your memory of the person to the image of the number will make it stick in your mind more firmly. Again, this is a way to increase the ease with which you’ll be able to remember the numbers. Association is key here. Link the number pair to some action that will be easier to remember than just a random list of numbers. When assigning meanings to each pair of numbers, alternate between people and actions.

TL;DR in English: Learn the rules. Convert each individual number into a letter. Divide the letters into pairs. Associate each pair with a person with those initials. Associate each person with a particular action.

Classically, dips are between parallel bars, where you lower yourself down until your elbows are at 90-degrees, arms parallel to the bars. You then push your body back up until your arms are straight, then repeat. But you can still do these triceps crushers even if you're without bars:  Find a sturdy table, ledge, chair, or stair step that comes up to roughly thigh level. Facing away from the ledge, use your hands to lower yourself to a "seated" position, as if there was an invisible chair in front of your object. Lower your but to the floor, keeping your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle behind you. Push back up to the "elevated" position. Repeat for 15-20 reps, doing three sets. The closer you move your arms together on a push-up, the more it will engage your triceps. The ultimate exercise, then, becomes diamond push-ups. To do them, simply use your thumbs and index fingers to form a diamond shape under your chest, entering otherwise normal push-up position:  Lower yourself slowly to the ground. Spring back up to the point just before your elbows lock out. Keep your neck and spine straight, not curved or hunched. This is a holding exercise, meaning you don't do reps, you simply hold the position, often timing out "sets" as 30-90 seconds of holding. L-sits are basically modified dips, but you can perform them on the floor or a set of parallel bars.  Pick yourself up by extending your arms straight down at your sides and pushing up. Stick your legs in front of you, forming an enormous L with your body. Keep your arms straight and strong as you hold your body above the ground of the bars. If you're struggling, rest one or both of your legs on something to keep them up while you work out your arms. You'll need a bar at about stomach height, the lower it is, the harder the exercise will be. These exercises work best if you keep your elbows in towards your ears and focus on using your triceps:  Hold the bar with your hands 4-5 inches apart, palms down. Place your feet together behind you, making a straight...

Preheat your oven to 450 °F (232 °C) with the top rack in place. Butter your slices of bread on 1 side.

The introduction of the speech should be interesting and engage the audience. Some strategies you can use are: beginning with a rhetorical question, a quote, or a short anecdote. Any strategy is fine as long as it relates to being thankful and graduating. Try to keep this to 2-5 sentences (or 2 paragraphs for a speech longer than 5 minutes). A few examples are:  “What are you thankful for?” This is beginning with a rhetorical question, since the audience will not answer. As Willie Nelson once said, "When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around." This is beginning with a quote. “It was the first day of high school, and I stood outside the door of my first class, scared to go in. On the last day of high school, I left that same door feeling thankful.” This is beginning with an anecdote. This is where you get to thank your friends, family, teachers, and so on in depth. Look at your brainstorming notes, and write 1-2 paragraphs where you say who you want to thank and why in complete sentences. (2-3 for a speech longer than 5 minutes). Don’t spend more than 2-3 sentences talking about a single person unless you really want to emphasize being thankful towards them.  For example, you can say, “I would like to thank my friends and family for always inspiring me when I felt hopeless.” Another example is, “I want to thank Professor Z for helping me choose a major.” The body of the speech comes immediately after the introduction. Avoid insulting or offending those you are speaking to. Do not vent about problems or criticize others during this speech. Write 1-2 sentences (1 paragraph for a speech that is longer than 5 minutes) that summarize everything you just said. Make sure to refer back to your theme and tie everything together in these 1-2 sentences. The conclusion comes after the body of the speech, and it can be very simple. For example, you can just say “Thank you again.”  Another simple example is, “Once again, I am so lucky to have such great friends and family. Thank you.” You can end on...

TL;DR in English: Write the introduction of the speech. Write the body of the speech. Write the conclusion of the speech. Edit the speech before practicing aloud.

Flour, eggs and brown sugar all hold on to moisture, leading to fluffy moist cookies. If you are look for a crispier treat, try using less of these three ingredients. All-purpose flour has a higher protein content compared to other flours. Extra protein helps create a browner appearance and crispier texture. This will allow the cookies time to spread before they firm. It will also help dry out your cookies as well. Compared to shortening or oil, butter has a lower melting temperature. This will allow your cookies to spread more during baking. Butter also has protein in it, which helps with browning and crisping. Avoid using brown sugar, which holds on to moisture, and instead use a processed sugar. This will lead to a drier and crispier cookie. Eggs hold a lot of moisture and, when cooked, they release lots of steam. This steam acts as a leavening agent, making cookies moist and fluffy. You will get a flatter, thinner and crispier cookie without eggs.  You can substitute applesauce instead of an egg, but applesauce also has a lot of moisture in it.  You could also try out vegetable oil.

TL;DR in English: Reduce ingredients that hold moisture. Use all-purpose flour. Bake the cookies for longer at a lower temperature. Use butter. Try white sugar or corn syrup. Skip the eggs.

Pool testing kits come in several different varieties. Test strips are the cheapest and easiest to use. Make sure the strips come with a color chart printed on a card or the back of the bottle so you can interpret the results. Once you own the chart, you can purchase additional bottles of strips rather than whole kits.  Another test variety are liquid test kits. You add the included chemicals to the water, then look for color changes. It can be difficult to mix the dye in the proper proportion and spot slight color changes. The last option is a digital water tester. Dip the end in the sample to get results. These are accurate but expensive and can malfunction. After this time, the strip will change colors. Remove the strip immediately, but don’t shake off the water. For testing strips, you’ll only need a single water sample.  When doing a liquid test, pour a few drops of the dye into the water sample. You will need to collect a new sample of pool water for each dye. For digital testers, stick the sensor in the sample. The color chart will be somewhere in your kit or on the back of the bottle of testing strips. If you bought 4 in 1, 5 in 1, or 6 in 1 strips, several colored patches on the strips may change. Each one corresponds to a separate chemical measurement on your color chart. Strips that aren’t all in 1 only test a single element. You’ll need to go to the store and get separate strips for chlorine, pH, and alkalinity. Strips for cyanuric acid and water hardness are also recommended. Water testing below 7.2 is more acidic, so if you notice colored stains from metal or corroded pipes, low pH could be the culprit. Water above 7.8 is more basic, causing chemical deposits on pool gear and preventing chlorine from killing bacteria and algae. Both high and low pH water irritate eyes and skin.  The pH level can be raised by adding soda ash, which is available at any pool store. Follow the directions on the label to figure out the proper amount to add. Lower the pH level by mixing in muriatic acid. Again, the...

TL;DR in English: Purchase a water testing kit. Submerge the test strips for 15 seconds. Compare the results to the color chart. Look for a pH level between 7.2 and 7.8. Test for a chlorine level between 1 and 3 ppm. Aim for an alkalinity result between 120 and 150 ppm. Check that the cyanuric acid levels are between 20 and 30 ppm. Choose a calcium hardness level based on your pool type.

You will need a monkey wrench, bath socket wrench or vice grip pliers, a Philips screwdriver, a flat-head screwdriver, a jar gripper, plumber's grease, a rag, Teflon tape and possibly tub caulk. You may also need a hair dryer. You will need access to the pipes for the next hour or so. Tell family members or tenants that they will not have water during this time. This will drain any remaining water in the pipes. Over time, handles can corrode and weld the faucet on. Use a hand dryer to heat the handle and loosen it. Don’t use too much force or it can break. Call a plumber if your handle breaks or will not come off. The trim is the decorative piece that fits around the outside of the faucet, generally just behind the handle, while the collar is generally a tubular piece that fits around the internal faucet parts. They should unscrew fairly easily. You can use a hair dryer to loosen them as well. Repeat for the other handle if your tub has two. You will need to reconnect them in a similar fashion when you are done fixing the faucet. These are sometimes also called “cartridges.” Insert a bath socket wrench and turn it counterclockwise. If you are unable to find a bath socket wrench, you can use a vice grip to hold onto the stem bonnet and loosen it. It has an elongated end so that you can stick it deep into the seat and turn it counterclockwise to remove the seat. The seat is the back portion of the faucet that extends into the pipe.

TL;DR in English: Gather the proper tools. Turn off the water intake to your house. Open the hot and cold valves on the bathtub faucet. Insert a Philips head screwdriver into the hole and unscrew the handle from the wall. Unscrew the trim and the collar from the wall by hand. Set the faucet handle inserts, faucet handles, screws, trim and collar parts aside in a small container. Remove the stem bonnet, which is the packing nut that holds the stem in place. Insert the seat wrench into the opening where the faucet was.

Check that one of the racks inside your oven is in the top position so your grilled cheese cooks thoroughly. Turn the oven on to 450 °F (232 °C) and let it heat completely while you prepare your sandwiches. Once the oven is up to temperature, you can cook your sandwiches. You can also use a toaster oven if you don’t want to heat up your regular oven. Choose your favorite type of bread to use for your sandwich. Use 2 slices of the bread and spread room temperature butter on 1 side of each slice. Spread the butter to the edges of the slice to help get even browning and prevent them from burning.  Soften the butter if you don’t have any at room temperature so you don’t rip pieces off of your bread. Alternatively, you can spread mayonnaise on your bread instead of butter.

Strive for good posture. Sleep on a supportive mattress. Wear only quality shoes that fit properly. Be active and move your body more. Eat foods rich in minerals and vitamins.

Use a large, rimmed baking sheet to catch the grease. Lining the bottom and sides of the sheet with aluminum foil will make clean up easier. Place the bacon in an airtight container. You can use the bacon while it's cold, keeping in mind that the bacon will lose its crispiness as it's stored. To reheat the bacon, heat the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until the bacon is heated through. You can also reheat the bacon in the microwave. Set the bacon on a microwave-safe plate and heat the bacon in 20-second increments until it's heated through.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204 °C) and line a sheet with foil. Store leftover bacon for 4 to 5 days in the refrigerator.

Before deciding what new sleeping position you want to habituate to, consider any physical ailments you might have. For example, if you've had back surgery, sleeping on your side in the fetal position may be the most comfortable. Furthermore, sleeping on your side may also be better if you have a history of snoring or sleep apnea. On the other hand, if you have chronic shoulder pain from an old sports injury, then sleeping on your back might be the best position.  Most people find that firm mattresses offer the most support and cause the least amount of musculoskeletal issues. In contrast, only a minority of people do well with soft mattresses or waterbeds. Consider investing in a high-quality, firm mattress. Pregnant women do best on their sides, with research suggesting that sleeping on the left side increases blood flow levels to the developing baby. From a musculoskeletal (functional) perspective, sleeping on your side provides the most benefit because it keeps your spine in normal alignment. It can alleviate neck pain (assuming your pillow is an appropriate size) and low back pain, reduce the incidence of acid reflux (heartburn), prevent snoring and ease the burdens of pregnancy. However, from an aesthetic perspective, side sleeping can promote facial wrinkles and saggy breasts, as they get a little squished.  If side sleeping, select a pillow that fits between the tip of you shoulder and the side of your head. Thus, thick pillows are best for broad-shouldered people and thin pillows for the narrow shouldered — a pillow of the appropriate thickness will keep your neck aligned and help prevent tension or cervicogenic headaches. To promote sleeping on your side, get a body pillow to hug, which might replace the sense of security and warmth you were getting from stomach sleeping. Everyone who sleeps on their side should use a pillow between their legs to promote hip alignment. Sleeping on your back (supine) is generally better for your spine compared to stomach sleeping, especially for your neck, but care...

TL;DR in English: Consider your physical limitations first. Sleep on your side. Sleep on your back.

Use your shower to wash away any debris in the way. If you have a removable shower head, use it to spray around the tub. Otherwise, use a cup or small bucket to pour water around.  If you have a lot of hair and debris in your tub, it's best to wipe it away with a paper towel before you rinse the tub using your shower head. Otherwise, you may accidentally clog up your drain. If your drain does get clogged, you'll also need to clean it in addition to the rest of your bathtub. If you clean out your tub every time you shower, you won't have a buildup over time. Use the shower to sprinkle the tub with warm water, washing away any dirt. Wipe off the water with a towel or sponge.

TL;DR in English: Wash away any grit and hair. Practice everyday cleaning.

You can choose cutting boards made from wood, bamboo, or plastic. Plastic is lightweight and easy to store, but it can be difficult to clean. You'll need to discard any plastic cutting boards that develop knife scars or ridges. Wood cutting boards have natural antiseptic properties that can help keep them clean. You can also use bamboo, but since it's harder than wood, it may dull your knives faster.  Avoid chopping on metal, glass, or stone cutting boards. These can dull your knives. Consider getting two cutting boards. Use one to chop vegetables or fruit and use the other to chop meat. Most knife sets include a variety of knives that you'll use for different kitchen jobs. To chop, you'll usually want to use an 8 to 10-inch (20 to 25 cm) chef's knife. It has a slight curve, so you can rock the knife back and forth as you quickly chop. The knife should feel a little heavy and balanced when you hold it.  Don't chop food with small knives (like paring knives) since the knife could become stuck in the food or you may cut yourself. Avoid using it for small jobs, like peeling food or cutting bread. Professional chefs sharpen their blades every day because they use them so often. Be in the habit of sharpening your knife blade using a sharpening stone since dull knives are more likely to slip while you're using them. This can increase your risk of cutting yourself. If you don't feel comfortable sharpening your own knives, you can send your knives away to a professional sharpening service. If the knife blade has been bent off center because of frequent use, you can also use a honing steel to push the blade back into balance.

TL;DR in English: Choose a cutting board. Use the right knife for the job. Keep the knife sharp.

An average sleep cycle lasts from 90 to 110 minutes, in a flux from light sleep to deep sleep. Consider the stages:  Stage 1 is the first and shallowest stage of sleep – it lasts anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Your eyes are closed, but it's easy to wake you up. You probably won't feel terribly refreshed if you nap for five minutes, but you shouldn't feel too groggy, either. Stage 2 is a slightly deeper stage of shallow sleep. Your heart rate slows, your body temperature drops, and you begin to sleep into deep sleep. This may last 5-10 minutes. Stage 3 is the "deep sleep" stage. If you're awoken during deep sleep, you will feel groggy and disoriented for a few minutes. Set an alarm for about 25 minutes from now: 20 minutes to sleep, and 5 minutes to fall asleep. A short "power nap" ends before your brain sleeps into deep or slow-wave sleep; you will wake feeling rejuvenated, and you shouldn't feel groggy. If you nap for longer than 20 minutes, you may slip into a deeper sleep phase – and if so, you may find yourself groggier if you wake before the end of the full sleep cycle. The 20-minute power nap, sometimes called the stage 2 nap, is good for alertness and motor learning skills – things like typing and playing the piano. Research shows that longer naps help boost memory and enhance creativity. When you nap for 30-60 minutes, you slip into slow-wave sleep, which is the deep phase that comes between REM "dream" sleep. A 30-60 minute nap is good for decision-making skills – e.g. memorizing vocabulary or recalling directions. Be aware that you may wake up groggier, at first, if you are awoken during the deepest part of the sleep cycle. REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is the final phase of the sleep cycle; it is when dreams happen, and it is when your brain restores itself. REM sleep plays a key role in making new connections in the brain and solving creative problems. The purpose of a nap is to rejuvenate your body, so it's important that you give yourself plenty of time. Set an alarm to make sure that you stick...

TL;DR in English: Plan your nap to minimize grogginess. Nap for 20 minutes at a time for a quick "power nap". Nap for 30-60 minutes to slip into slow-wave sleep. Nap for 60-90 minutes to reap the benefits of REM sleep. Try not to oversleep.

Maintaining good posture while you sit and walk is crucial for the shape, function and overall health of your spine. Good posture doesn't mean completely straight, but it does mean balanced and aligned, such that the normal shape of your spine isn't compromised. Slouching is a classic sign of poor posture, so keep your shoulders pulled back, head up and low back slightly arched when you sit and walk. Good posture is often a reflection of confidence and good health.  While at work, make sure your office chair is height-adjustable and has lumbar support for your low back. At home, use small cushions to support your back while watching TV. Make sure your computer is at eye level and centered in front of your chair, otherwise you risk straining your neck and triggering headaches. Practicing walking with a book balanced on your head may sound old school, but it's still a great way to learn good posture. Your sleeping position is another important element of body posture. You spend about 1/3 of your time in your bed, so pay more attention to the quality of your mattress and your sleeping posture. For many people, firm mattresses are the best choice in order to provide the necessary support for their spines. Memory foam top covers may also be of benefit and provide more comfort. You should consider changing spring mattresses every eight to 10 years, whereas memory foam mattresses may have a shorter life span — rotate them on a weekly basis to increase longevity. The thickness of your pillow should roughly match the width from your shoulder to your ear, which helps to keep your neck aligned during sleep.  Most medical / health authorities feel that the best sleeping posture is laying on your side with hips and knees slightly flexed, and with a small pillow wedged between your thighs.  Don't read in bed with too many pillows behind your head because it will put strain on your neck and act to reverse the normal curvature of your cervical spine. Your feet are important for good biomechanics (movement) and posture...

Get all of the ingredients. Look for these spices at your local grocery store. Measure out all of your ingredients.

Don’t stop your medication. Talk to your doctor and let him or her know about persistent side effects. Discuss ways to manage them and still get the benefit you need from the medication. Sometimes, doses can be adjusted, timing can be altered, different medications can be tried, or you can be switched to or from a longer acting product that can help reduce your side effects.  You are the most important member of your healthcare team. Take an active role in monitoring your condition. This may lead to a lower dose if your condition is stable or improves. Take the medication properly. Take your dose(s) at the same time every day. Twice daily dosing is best at eight to ten hour intervals. Carvedilol is best absorbed if taken with food. By taking with food consistently, your body gets more from each dose and may lead to a good response that can allow you to talk to your doctor about trying a lower dose. Do not crush, open or break the tablets or capsules. Especially if you have the controlled release form of the medication. Some dosage forms allow for crushing or opening the capsule for people that have a difficult time swallowing. The crushed tablet or contents of the capsule can be spread on a small amount of applesauce or other food easy to swallow. Do not do this without making sure the tablets or capsules prescribed for you are safe to be crushed or opened. If you are allowed to break your tablets for dosing reasons, do not break more than what you immediately need. Many drugs lose their strength when exposed to air. Only open or break what you need for that dose, or that day’s doses. Several types of home devices are available to measure your blood pressure at home. Be sure you select a device your doctor agrees with since there are many different types of products available. Take it with you to the next appointment to have it calibrated.

The high traffic areas of your home with travertine floors, such as a doorway or a hallway, are more susceptible to damage. In order to keep your floors pristine, it is necessary to provide additional protection to high traffic areas. Protect these areas from abrasive dirt and damaging grime with seasonal doormats, sleek runners, and timeless area rugs. Travertine floors are easily damaged and must be cleaned with care. To maintain a well-kept floor, vacuum, dust, and sweep your travertine regularly.  Never drag an upright or full sized canister vacuum across your floor to suck up debris. Instead, suck up abrasive debris that might scrape your floors, such as dirt and gravel, with a handheld vacuum. Remove dirt and debris from your floors with a dry dust mop. When washing your floors, only use a soapless, neutral PH 7 mild abrasive cleaner and water. Always follow the product’s instructions. Use broad sweeping motions that overlap to clean your floor. Dry and polish with a clean microfiber cloth. To deep clean your floors, you may use an automatic scrubber with disk brush attachment. As a porous stone, travertine stains easily. After identifying what caused the stain, use specific products to remove the blemish.  Oil-based stains darken the stone and must be removed with chemicals. Blot the stain with a clean cloth to remove any excess residue. To remove the stain, use a soft liquid household cleaner, such as ammonia, acetone, or detergent. Apply the product to the stone on a damp cloth. Place the cloth over the stain to draw out the oil-based product.  Organic stains, such as those caused by coffee, juice, urine, and food, turn the travertine pink or brown. Remove these stains with a mixture of 12% hydrogen peroxide—food grade hydrogen peroxide—and a few drops of ammonia. Apply the product to the stone on a damp cloth. Place the cloth over the stain to draw out the organic stain.  The method for removing ink stains varies based on the color of the stone. If the stain is on a light colored stone, use bleach...

TL;DR in English: Protect your floors. Dry clean your floors. Wash your floors. Remove stains from your travertine floors. Use water to clean outdoor travertine.

While you can simply measure instead, spreading the fabric out will give you a much better idea of what it will look like when it's installed. You can move it around and adjust where you want it to go. Keep in mind you can install sun shades at an angle from the ground, which will reduce some of the width or length of the shade, depending on how you angle it. You can attach your shade to standing structures, such as the house, a shed, or even a sturdy tree branch. If you don't have these options, you'll need posts to attach the shade to. Lay these out to make sure they'll fit where you want them to go.  Try 10 ft (3.0 m) pressure-treated wood posts that are 6 by 6 inches (15 by 15 cm). You can also use 5 by 5 inches (13 by 13 cm) steel posts. Steel will last longer but costs more.  The area you need for the shade will be slightly larger than the fabric looks when just laid out. You'll create tension when attaching the shade, which will stretch it out. Plus, you need to add extra space on the ends, where you will use the shade hardware to attach the shade to the posts. You'll need a space that's about 10% bigger than the shade itself. For instance, if one side of your shade is 6 feet (1.8 m), then the gap at each of those corners should be about 0.6 feet (0.18 m). You can use spray paint on grass to mark the area. Alternatively, make an "X" in the ground with a small spade so you can find the spot again later. Another option is to set rocks where you are planning to put the posts. You can simply stretch the shade so it's the same height across the yard, if that's your preference. You can also vary the height a little, going from higher at one end to lower at the other. It all depends on your preference.  Angling the shade can provide some wind protection. You need to decide on heights now, so that you get posts that are the correct size. When you dig in your yard, you need to have the area marked first. City officials will come out and mark gas, water, and power lines that are buried beneath the ground so you...

TL;DR in English: Spread the sun shade out in the designated area. Determine where you will attach the shade. Mark the points where you want to place posts. Decide how high you want each corner of the shade to be. Call your local city officials before you dig.

Because rodents primarily travel near the wall, the baited petal should face that area. If you don't catch any rats after several days to a week, try moving your rat trap elsewhere.  Secluded areas behind furniture or underneath outdoor debris are most likely to attract rats. Rodents rarely run in the middle of rooms. Keeping your traps in corners or by walls is your best bet for catching rats. Inspect your home's walls and corners, as well as any dark or covered areas of the floor. Look for rat droppings or brown grease paths that look trampled down. These are areas with heavy rat activity, where you'll want to set your traps. Rat paths are commonly found near walls, underneath furniture, inside closets, or within cabinets. Rats are more cautious than mice and take time to trust traps. Leave your traps out for a few days with bait without setting them the rats grow comfortable around them. When you've noticed that the bait is gone, set the trap so that you catch the next rat that comes along. If your Victor trap doesn't seem to catch any rats, its spring may be getting old. Add a few drops of vegetable oil or bacon grease to the spring. Inspect your trap again after several weeks—if it still isn't catching rats, try placing it in another location or throw it away.  Machine oil repels rats. Do not use it while oiling your traps. If your rat trap is dirty, use water—with no soap—to clean it off.

TL;DR in English: Place the trap somewhere with plenty of rodent activity. Locate rat paths in your home and place traps alongside these paths. Familiarize your rats with the traps before you set them. Oil dirty rat traps to increase their sensitivity.

Potato curry requires many spices, and it is important to make sure you have each one before you start cooking. Here is a list of ingredients you will need:  2 cups of quartered potatoes 1/2 cup chopped onions 1 medium size tomato 1/2 tsp red chili powder 1 green chili chopped 1/2 tsp coriander powder 1/2 tsp kasuri methi (dried methi leaves) 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh curry leaves 1/8 tsp turmeric 1 tbsp oil 1/2 tsp cumin 1 pinch of hing 1 tsp salt 1 large saucepan and medium pot Stirring spoon and knife If your local grocery store does not carry them, try searching at a designated spice store or online. As you are cooking, it is much easier to have your ingredients already measured and ready so you do not have to waste time measuring each one out as you have food cooking on the stove.

One of the major causes of morning back pain is a poor sleeping position during the night. Like sitting with poor posture in a chair all day, sleeping in a poor position all night will cause your back to become stiff and tense, leading to back pain in the morning (think about it: that's eight hours in a position that strains your back). Though it may be difficult to train your body to embrace a different sleep position than customary, it is worth doing as a way to prevent morning back pain.  Try to sleep on one side with your legs bent and tucked towards your chest. You can also place your hands by your head or under your pillow. This fetal sleeping position will put very little stress on your back and help to prevent stiffness and discomfort in the morning. You may also want to place a pillow between your legs while you lay on your side to help release tension in your lower back. Tuck the pillow between your knees and let your legs relax. If you tend to get the best sleep when sleep on your back, slide a pillow or a rolled towel under your knees before going to bed. This will help to relieve any stress or tension on your back as you sleep. If you are a light sleeper and tend to wake up throughout the night, make an effort to shift your sleep position so your back is better supported. This could mean moving from sleeping on your back to sleeping on one side in the fetal position. Or, you may place a pillow on either end of the bed to prevent you from rolling around onto your stomach or your back during the night. Over time, your body may adapt on its own to a sleep position that is better for your back. You should make sure you are sleeping on a good quality mattress that is not sagging in certain areas or lumpy. A good mattress can help to provide good support for your back as you sleep, especially if you tend to sleep on your back. You may want to invest in a mattress pad that you can place over your mattress to make it more comfortable and smooth, or consider getting a new mattress if your mattress is...

TL;DR in English: Try to sleep on one side in the fetal position. Put a pillow or a rolled towel under your knees if you tend to sleep on your back. Adjust your sleep position if you wake up during the night. Check that your mattress does not sag or have lumps. Pay attention to the temperature in the room.

Wait for your yellow flowers to fade and for the leaves to grow. At this point, the plant starts to develop next year's buds, and the plant carries the buds through the fall and winter season. This is the best time to prune your forsythia. If you wait to prune your forsythias until after the springtime, the number of flowers that your plant yields next season will be considerably less.  This is a good idea if your bush is large and unruly and you want to tame it back. You may sacrifice a season of flowers, but your forsythia bush will look much better the next year. Young forsythias need little to no pruning. Only when they mature should you prune them once a year. If you want to help maintain the shape of the plant as it grows, you can snip off a few longer stems once a year, though this is not required. Letting the plant take its natural shape helps it establish a healthy root system.

TL;DR in English: Prune forsythia plants right after they finish blooming in the spring. Prune in the summer, fall, or winter to reduce the number of flowers. Avoid pruning your forsythia when the plant is 1-3 years old.

Dead, damaged or diseased wood should be removed starting with the origin of the damage. This may mean cutting an entire large area if it is all damaged or dead. You will know if an area is damaged or dead if it does not have leaves during growing season when the rest of the tree is in bloom. Removing dead or damaged branches is one of the few times it’s okay to prune your tree in the spring or summer. If you have sprouts growing down near the bottom of the tree out of the main trunk, these are called “suckers” and are actually part of the root system, not the fruiting system on top. They don’t have any purpose on your pear tree. Prune these spouts off right at their origin up against the trunk. If you see any suspiciously straight, vertical sprouts growing from a branch of your tree, that’s a "water sprout." They look different from other branches because they occur on main branches, have no curve, are somewhat short, and grow straight up toward the sky. Water sprouts have no purpose on your tree and should be cut at their point of origin on the main branch they’re growing out of. Fruiting spurs grow on branches that were originally grown two years previously, so you don’t need to worry about them on very young trees. They look like smaller curved branches growing off a main branch, with little bud-like shapes, or fruit buds, at the tip.  Fruiting spurs usually take 1 or 2 years to grow fruit. The year after fruiting, another 1 or 2 fruit buds will appear in that spot. After 6 or 7 years, the spur will become congested with fruit buds and then you can prune them to allow new fruiting spurs to grow elsewhere. The only other reason to cut them is if the branch is dead or damaged.

TL;DR in English: Prune any dead or damaged branches. Cut sprouts coming from the base of the trunk. Remove straight vertical sprouts coming from main branches. Avoid cutting fruiting spurs most of the time.

Choose a color for your flowers that matches another item on the coffee table to accentuate that color. Alternatively, choose a color that matches or contrasts with a major color in your room’s decorating scheme. For example, if you have yellow wainscotting, display yellow flowers. Flowers also allow you to add color to your room.  For example, use dark red flowers to match coffee table books with dark red dust jackets. Brighten up a dark room with white flowers or some attractive greenery. Faux leaves or succulents can give a pop of life. Choose a vase that reflects the style you are trying to convey. Pick an artistic or elegant vase as the centerpiece for your coffee table. Don’t limit yourself to traditional vases. Antique pitchers and other attractive containers that will hold water and flowers can serve as a vase.  For example, put flowers with large, single bloom flowers in old mason jars for a rustic look. For a nautical theme, fill an old hurricane lamp with flowers. Filling a vase or bowl with water and scattering petals on top creates a dreamy and romantic mood. Choose flowers that won’t be dwarfed by a large vase. If you have a vase that can only hold a few stems, keep your floral arrangement simple. Keep taller vases to the sides of the coffee table so that people can see each other if they are seated across your coffee table and so they don’t obstruct the view of the television isn’t obstructed. Alternatively, use shorter flowers and vases in the center of the table. Add a green, living element to your coffee table with a houseplant. Put the plants in nice planters that complement your decor. Choose succulents for a very low-maintenance alternative to houseplants. Use a terrarium or glass bowls to best display and show off succulents.

TL;DR in English: Pick flowers in one color. Make a statement with your vase. Find the right size and number of flowers. Choose an alternative to flowers.

Select the variety of palm you want to plant. Opt for a small, medium, or large palm depending on budget, aesthetics, and maneuverability. Choose the location for your palm. Do not dig a hole or drive vehicles where underground utilities can present hazards in the location you choose.

Use a solid color, or a combination of contrasting or complementary colors. For a whimsical look, paint the seat one color, the back another and the legs another. For subtle touches, paint the entire chair a solid color, then apply accents, such as striping or polka dots, using an alternate color or 2.  Stir the paint thoroughly before applying. Use a brush that's easy to hold and small enough to fit between all of the chair's components. It's typically easiest to turn the chair upside down and paint the legs first. When finished, stand the chair on back on its legs and paint the remainder of the chair. Use spray paint for fast results. Be sure to shake the canisters thoroughly before applying. Use several light coats rather than 1 heavy coat as this discourages drips. Use several light coats rather than 1 heavy coat as this discourages drips. Depending on the desired finish, use a matte, satin, or gloss coating. A spray finish is easy to apply, but a brush-on finish offers more control for even application. If you plan to add decorative decals to your newly painted chair, apply them before applying the protective clear finish. Allow the clear coating to dry per the manufacturer's instructions, and apply as many coats as desired.

TL;DR in English: Pick a color or color scheme for your chair. Place the chair on a drop-cloth to protect the surface below from paint spatter and drips. Apply Primer.

Sometimes, the most effective thing you can do is model inclusive language and actions for others. Put your values into practice, and help your peers understand what it means to treat others with dignity and respect.  Use the language preferred by individual communities. For example, "autistic people" instead of "people with autism" is the preferred language of the Autistic community. However, everyone has their own language preferences and beliefs. If an autistic person wants to be referred to as a “person who has autism,” use this language to refer to them. Respect other people’s chosen pronouns, names, or identities. If someone prefers to be called “he,” “she,” “they,” or something else, respect their wishes instead of trying to correct them. Challenge yourself and your friends to have lunch or start conversations with people of ethnicities, faiths, social groups, and identities other than your own. Any programs you organize to promote your ideals will be most effective if you tap the resources of whoever’s in charge. A school principal, supervisor at work, or local government representative can broaden your impact and help you correct any specific injustices you’ve observed.  You could write in a letter or email, “I’ve noticed fellow students, faculty, and staff have good intentions, but don't know how to foster an inclusive atmosphere. Our community would benefit from a mentor, and I’d like to seek the administration’s support in hosting educational programs.” Reaching out to those in power can be intimidating. However, remember that principals are responsible for your well-being, bosses need to be stewards of companies, and your elected officials work for you. Instead of taking on all social issues at once, tackle 1 issue that directly affects your community. Raise awareness of the problem through social media, public events, and 1-on-1 conversations.  For example, you might notice that sidewalks in your town are poorly maintained, which poses a hazard for people who may have mobility issues. Contact...

TL;DR in English: Act as a role model for your peers. Involve the leaders of your community, school, or workplace. Focus your effort on specific issues so your message doesn’t get lost. Tailor your approach to your audience to make a meaningful impact.

This is for her upper skull. Make sure that you are using a pencil for the draft sketch so you can erase it afterwards to make it neat. Draw a vertical line in the middle of the head so you know the center of the face. You can draw on a different angle for her pose. Add an L-shaped line for her jaw guide. For her torso, draw an inverted triangle. For her cheeks, just connect the head with the L-shaped line. Draw a circle at the pointed end of the triangle for her hips. For her neck just draw a rectangle to connect the body to her head. For the limbs and legs, just draw some lines. It all comes to the artist’s preference. For the hands, just draw rounded ovals. Also, don’t forget to add her legs. For her bangs, just draw a semi-circle and add some wavy lines to add some more hair to her side. By now, you should have her basic skeleton. Basically, Cleo’s hair is straight and big. On the center of the face,  draw her small nose and large lips. Make sure to make the lower lip big and the upper lip thin. Add two almond-shaped figures for her eyes. Make the eyes skew a little from the center. Put in mind the overlapping lines and parts that should be hidden. For her limbs and legs, just add some width from the bone. It doesn’t matter if your legs look weird. The drawing style for Monster High defies logic and proportional rules. The lineart might not look perfect and crisp but it should look neat when the pencil is erased. You can add details like jewelry and different accessories. Don’t forget to add some eyelashes and the inside lens(which is just 2 small circles overlapping a big one) Try to add more if needed. Don’t be afraid to add more lines than what is necessary.  You can add lots of trinkets on her clothes. Because Cleo is a mummy, don’t forget to add some bandages to her limbs and arms. Cleo also has a jewelry stud/birthmark on her face. When coloring her, notice her eyes are light blue. but in the picture above she has yellow eyes.

TL;DR in English: Draw a big circle. Add guidelines for the face. Add her torso and cheeks. Add neck and hips. Draw her limbs and thigh. Add some hair and hands. Add hair. Draw the face. Using a pen, draw on top of your sketch. Erase the pencil sketch and add details. Color Cleo.

No friend is one-dimensional, but instead a multi-layered individual. Part of being a good friend is accepting every part of your friend’s personality. Take the ups and downs in your friendship as they come, which can forge a better and stronger friendship.  Be understanding of the quirks that may come with an intelligent friend. Remember that she may be highly intelligent at math, but terrible at relating to other people. For example, if your friend feels threatened, she may fall back on her intelligence to boost her confidence. As long as your friend isn’t hurting another person, let this roll off your back. Be understanding whenever your friend is in a bad mood, having a bad day, or socially awkward. You can always explain to others, “Normally she is really fun and easygoing but she’s under a lot of stress and it sometimes makes her a bit insecure and snarky. I hope you’ll have a chance to meet my friend at a better time.” Whether it was sharing toys in the sandbox or bonding over a lab in college, there was some spark that started your friendship. Think about what bonds you and your friend if you are having difficulty in the friendship or can’t connect any longer.  Think about what you share in common. Did your love of World of Warcraft or interest in playing soccer spark a friendship? Were you both competitive in the spelling bee or Model UN at school? Or did you both have a job at a fast food restaurant?  Whatever interests you shared in the past, draw on your common interests to keep your friendship strong. Ponder your pal’s personality in all of its dimensions. Is your intelligent friend also sensitive and kind, or does have strong insight and the ability to read others? Focus on the qualities that make this person special and not what upsets you. Gifted or highly intelligent individuals may exhibit unique characteristics such as being extremely creative and passionate about specific things. Your intelligent friend may also not approach problems or situations like other friends, which is part of what...

TL;DR in English: Accept the positive—as well as the negative. Remember why you became friends. Embrace your friend’s individuality. Tap into your special qualities, too. Be honest about doubts. Be aware that intelligence doesn’t mean social competence. Explain your friend to others. Point out when your friend has gone too far.

Lay a plastic tablecloth out on the floor. You can use any color you want. Pour some paint on a sponge in a contrasting color; washable or acrylic is fine for this. Sponge the paint all over the tablecloth. Let it dry and then go over it with another color if you want. Hang your tablecloth on a piece of string or rope, attaching it with binder clips, and you're done!  For instance, try a blue tablecloth and sponge purple and grey on it. If you don't want to use paint, string multiple tablecloths next to each other so they hang down like gathered curtains, creating vertical stripes of color. You can use a selection of colors for a rainbow effect. You can get poster board for very cheap at dollar stores, and it comes in a variety of colors. You can tape it up to a wall, and then get in close for a headshot! If you want to make this more interesting, try stamping shapes like hearts or stars on it in contrasting colors. Pick a pretty sheet or curtain with a fun pattern or solid color. Tape the fabric up on the wall using painter's tape, making sure to smooth out any wrinkles in the fabric. Let it hang down to the floor. You can even use the end of it on the floor for your subject to stand on. You can also just go buy 1 to 2 yards (0.91 to 1.83 m) of fabric from a craft store. It's fairly cheap, and you won't need much to make a pretty backdrop. Measure out a length of string; make it equal to the width you want your backdrop to be. Pick up streamers in the colors you'd like, and cut them to the length you want with 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) extra for taping. Wrap the top of the streamer over the string and tape or glue it in back. Add more streamers, alternating colors, until you have enough to form the width of the backdrop. Make knots in the ends of the string and hang it up with tacks or hooks.  The length depends on what kind of shot you're doing. If you want a full-length body shot with an adult, it will need to be 5 to 6 feet (1.5 to 1.8 m). If you're taking pictures of a child, it may only need to be 3 to 4...

TL;DR in English: Make a cheap and playful backdrop out of paint and plastic tablecloths. Use a poster board for quick and easy headshots. Tape a sheet or piece of fabric to create an easy, large backdrop. Glue or tape streamers onto a string. Create a backdrop out of handmade paper flowers for a romantic feel. Make a sparkly background using glitter curtains. Line balloons up on the wall in lines for lots of color.

Palms vary in size from relatively small Windmill and Sago Palms, to giants like Royal Palms and Queen Palms which, when grown, may tower fifty feet in the air. The amount of sunlight palm trees require, as well as the amount of cold they tolerate, also depend on species. Consult a list of some common palms used in landscaping, and their sunlight requirements and cold tolerances:  Warm weather palms:   Cuban or Florida Royal Palm. Cold tolerant to 22° F (-5° C); full sun to partial shade.  Sago Palms. Cold tolerant to 20° F (-6° C); filtered sunlight to full sun.  Canary Island Date Palm. Cold tolerant to 19° F (-7° C).  Queen Palm. Cold tolerant to 18° F (-7° C); full sun.   Cold weather palms:   Mexican Fan Palm. Cold tolerant to 15° F (-9° C).  Cabbage Palms. Cold tolerant to 12° F (-11° C); full sun.  Pindo Palm. Cold tolerant to 10° F (-12° C).  Chinese Windmill Palm. Cold tolerant to 8° F (-13° C); full sun. What size palm you select will depend largely on just three things:  Budget: Small palms cost less, big palms cost more. Small palms can cost as little as $100 while big behemoths can cost thousands of dollars. Aesthetics: Do you want to watch your palm grow, or do you want it to immediately fit into your landscape? Mature trees cost much more than immature trees. Maneuverability. Starting with mature palms is expensive, sometimes so big that they need to be trucked and craned into the site. If you're trying to plant in a location where maneuvering big trees is going to be hard, you may want to opt for a smaller one. Because large palm trees are extremely heavy and you may need to use heavy equipment during the planting process, it's best to look for an area that is easily accessible. Planting on an even, low slope in the front yard will be much easier than planting on a steep grade or in the back. Check into the property plat plan. See city or county permits, maps and utility plats, and call your local utility for locating service to be sure of routing of underground utilities, if there is any...

TL;DR in English:


Read the labels on cans of paint carefully to see how much they cover. Get roughly 1 US gal (3.8 L) for every 400 sq ft (37 m2) if your walls are smooth. Buy approximately 1 US gal (3.8 L) for every 250 sq ft (23 m2) if your walls are rough. Get twice as much paint if you’re covering a color or adding 2 coats.

You will need a go-kart frame that is capable of housing the size and weight of your engine. Most 5 to 7 horsepower engines will fit a standard size kart. The vertical shaft engine you choose can be from a riding mower or a push mower, either will work for your go-kart. Larger engines in the 13 to 22 horsepower range, which you can find on riding mowers, may destroy the transmission or kart. You will want one that can support both your vertical shaft engine and lawnmower gearbox comfortably. Your gearbox should will need to have non-trans axle set-up. This will give you a better sense of the dimensions that will be comfortable for your frame. Most frames have a width that varies between 1/3 and 2/3's the wheelbase of your go-kart, with wider models giving better stability.

TL;DR in English: Measure the size of your engine. Pick a suitable go-kart frame. Draw out a true to size basic design of your frame with chalk.

This device is similar to an apple peeler. You insert the vegetable and turn a crank to force it through the blade in a spiral motion.  Spiral shredders come in a few different types. In some cases, you place the vegetable inside a small container. While others ask you to insert the vegetable into a horizontal platform. Read the directions carefully before using the slicer. This machine works best with long, straight vegetables. Each squash should be at least one inch in diameter. Don’t cut the zucchini in half vertically. The slicer will leave a small core that includes the mature seeds. Place the lid or crank on the machine. You will feel when the crank stops giving you resistance. A small vegetable core will remain.

TL;DR in English: Order a spiral vegetable slicer. Wash the zucchini thoroughly. Insert the squash into the machine, right in front of the blade. Turn the crank to cut the vegetable in a spiral motion. Remove the spiral shreds from the machine or the other side of the spiral shredder.

Receiving a bad grade isn’t the end of the world. Don’t think one bad grade represents your overall worth as a student. The very fact that you are concerned shows that you are motivated and have high expectations for yourself.  Avoid punishing yourself for receiving a bad grade. Try to learn from your mistakes and strive to do better in the future. Remember that a “C” is usually considered average, a “B” above average, and an “A” exemplary. Putting it into perspective, maybe your grade isn’t as bad as you thought. You may feel anxious, frustrated, or even confused. It’s okay to be upset. Let it out. Suppressing your emotions will only make you feel worse down the line. Venting to a friend, family member, or classmate can help you cope with the bad grade and move on. Dwelling on it further while in a heightened emotional state will just make the problem seem worse than it is. Try to do something that takes your mind off of it. Exercising, talking with friends, listening to music, or doing fun things you enjoy are all healthy ways to relieve anxiety.

TL;DR in English: Don’t be too hard on yourself. Take some time to process your reaction. Put some distance between you and the grade for a while.

Pick a pair of shoes that protects your feet and legs from injury. They should come up over your ankle so there is no risk that low laces or tongues will get caught in the stirrups. Look for shoes with a strong shank that support your ankles. It is a good idea to invest in some short riding boots, which are less expensive than tall ones and have hard toes to protect your feet from hooves. Saxon is a good brand. If you are just starting then get a low pair instead of a tall pair just to make sure you like riding before you spend a lot of money on tall boots. A shoe with a small heel will keep your feet from slipping out of the stirrups. English or western boots is your best option in lieu of official riding shoes. Look for shoes with a medium tread to provide the appropriate level of traction. Cowboy boots with a smooth leather sole will be too slippery and put your feet at risk of sliding out of the stirrups. On the other end of the spectrum, shoes with heavy waffle tread may be dangerous if you fall. Tread that is too heavy can cause your shoe to jam in the stirrup. The soles of English boots have small grooves in them, as should your shoes. Protect your lower leg and support your ankle as you become a more advanced rider. Look for relatively affordable, standard leather riding boots or riding sneakers that offer the necessary arch support. They usually start at $100. If you're riding English-style, invest in a pair of paddock boots.

TL;DR in English: Wear a pair of sturdy supportive shoes. Choose shoes with a 1.5 inch, or 3.8 centimeter, heel. Look for shoes with proper traction. Invest in official riding shoes.

There are many benefits that you can include in your compensation plan in addition to bonuses and other merit-based incentives. Examples include required benefits, like worker's compensation and health insurance, along with optional benefits, like various other types of insurance (health, life, or disability), vacation time, sick days, and stock options. Again, study which benefits are commonly offered to this type of employee in your industry. Revise benefit offerings according to your company goals. For example, a company with great benefits like paid time off, long maternity leave, and good stock options might help a company retain employees more easily. Include both short and long term options in your compensation plan. Ideally, your plan should have benefits that reward employees in the short run, such as bonuses and commissions. It should also have long term benefits, such as healthy retirement plans. Provide a health plan and possibly a dental plan, if it's in the budget. You may also want to include a flexible spending benefit.  Consider opportunities to excel with tuition reimbursement or promotions and pay raises. Provide family orientated benefits, such as an onsite childcare or daycare reimbursement. If your business does not do well or temporarily goes through hard times, you will likely have to pull expenses from your benefits, and this may cause resentment among your staff. It is always easier to add a benefit then take one away. So be realistic when designing your benefits offerings. You can always increase benefits over time to reward loyal employees. You may want to involve your lawyer to ensure that nothing is left vague. When hiring new employees, you may want to go over your benefits plan so that if there are any questions, the new employee can have you address them immediately. The same is true for all incentive plans. These must be clearly stated in writing.

TL;DR in English: Research the options. Offer a compensation plan that includes a mix of benefits. Only include benefits you can afford. Be clear when putting your benefits plan into your company policy book.

Many cans of paint list the number of square feet or meters that they cover on the label. This is mainly because certain styles of paint cover walls differently. If the paint can lists the number of square feet or meters that it covers, use that measurement to determine how many cans to buy instead of estimating. For example, if a 1 gallon (3.8 L) can reads that it covers 350 square feet (33 m2), and your wall is 10,000 square feet (930 m2), divide 10,000 square feet (930 m2) by 350 square feet (33 m2) to determine how many gallons (or liters) you need. If you have a new or refurbished home with smooth walls, your paint won’t have a hard time covering your drywall. Buy approximately 1 gallon (3.8 L) of paint for every 400 square feet (37 m2) that you’re going to paint.  This is a rough estimate. The texture of your walls, brand of paint, and the temperature of your room will all change the amount of paint you need to cover a wall. For example, if your sum total is 4,265 square feet (396.2 m2) and your walls are even, divide 4,265 square feet (396.2 m2) by 400 square feet (37 m2) to get 10.66 gallons (40.4 L). Always round up when you have a decimal or fraction at the end of your measurement for the paint. If you need more than 4 gallons (15 L), buy in 5 US gal (19 L) increments. Paint suppliers typically offer a discount for buying 5 US gal (19 L) containers instead of smaller 1 gallon (3.8 L) cans. If you’re painting exposed brick, stucco, or older drywall, your paint is going to have a rougher time soaking into the texture of your walls. Buy roughly 1 gallon (3.8 L) for every 250 square feet (23 m2) to play it safe. For example, if your sum total is 4,265 square feet (396.2 m2) and your walls are kind of old, divide 4,265 square feet (396.2 m2) by 250 square feet (23 m2) to get 17.06 gallons (64.6 L). If you’re going to be painting some red or green walls white, you’re going to need a lot more paint to cover your walls. If you plan on painting multiple coats, double the square footage that you calculated...

Pour 1 to 2 cups (237 to 473 ml) of almond milk into a glass jar. Add 1 of the following ingredients to your jar before sealing it. Cover the milk jars so that they are airtight. Place them in the refrigerator for 1 day.

While they may not be able to figure out what the problem is, your hazard lights will tell other drivers to proceed with caution and pay  attention to what your vehicle is doing. Your hazard light button should be somewhere on your dashboard, and the symbol for them is an orange triangle inside an orange triangle. Lifting off the gas will begin to slow the car down, just by virtue of friction and gravity. Also, your cruise control system should turn off as soon as you touch the brake or clutch, but to be safe, make sure to switch it off manually. If you're driving a manual, press the clutch and downshift into the next gear down. This will begin to slow the car. Keep shifting down as you feel the car slow down. If you're in an automatic, use the gear selector to shift to second. Then, shift to first (also sometimes marked as "L" or "lower").  While you may be feeling panicked, you don't need to downshift all at once. Let the car slow down naturally if you're not in danger of hitting something. Most automatics have a second and first gear on the gear selector. If you have tap-to-shift, shift into manual "M" (generally to the right or left of "Drive" on console-shift vehicles or the bottom gear on column-shift vehicles) and press the minus button to shift down. Again, if you can’t go directly into the lowest range, try gradually shifting down. Look for a place to get off the road. You want to cause as little damage as possible to you and other vehicles, so get away from the main thoroughfare if possible. If you're on the freeway, get off it if you can. If you can't get off the freeway, use the shoulder. When your brakes fail, often they will only partially fail. You may still have some brakes in place, and pumping the brakes may be enough to slow you to a complete stop. After pumping a few times, press the brakes all the way to the floor to see if you have any pressure left. Pump quickly to build up friction. If you still aren't stopped, pull up on the emergency brake. That's usually the large lever that's next...

TL;DR in English: Turn your hazard lights on to warn other drivers. Take your foot off the gas and/or turn off the cruise control. Shift into a lower gear. Pull over to the side of the road. Pump the brakes to try to stop. Try the emergency (parking) brake at lower speeds.

Make an honest assessment of your marijuana use by asking questions about how much and often you need to use the drug. These questions can help you to more easily make the decision to quit using the drug.  Being doubtful about your habit could make it difficult to quit, even if you know it’s the best decision for you.  It is easy to downplay or underestimate your own level of dependence on marijuana. Ask a friend or family member for an independent opinion of your use.  Surrounding yourself with a different group of people may help you realize the extent of your use. If you’ve decided to quit using marijuana, you may feel confused about the most effective way to do this. Schedule an appointment with your doctor or another medical professional to talk about your decision to quit marijuana and your options for treatment.  Medical professionals who can help you include your primary care physician, a physician who specializes in drug addiction, a licensed drug and alcohol counselor, as well as a psychiatrist or psychologist.  Your primary care physician may refer to an internist or other doctor that specializes in drug addiction. You may additionally want to see a mental health professional to help you cope with the emotional aspects of quitting.  Be completely honest with your doctor(s) about your drug use. This can help her formulate the most effective treatment plan for you.  Take a list of any medications, vitamins, supplements or other illegal drugs that you are taking. Remember, your doctor is there to help you, so honesty is important.  Ask your doctor about different treatment options and educating yourself about marijuana use.  Expect your doctor to ask specific questions about your use, prior attempts to quit, withdrawal and your support system. You and your doctor can formulate a treatment plan that best suits you. Make sure to choose an option or options with which you feel most comfortable. Some of the different types of treatment include:  Chemical dependence treatment programs. These usually offer...

TL;DR in English: Make the decision to quit. See a medical professional. Formulate a treatment plan. Lean on your family and friends for help. Limit exposure to temptations. Avoid high-risk situations. Explore different activities. Commit to your treatment plan. Recognize and control the symptoms of withdrawal. Seek help if you relapse.

If your dog has just experienced a traumatic event, take a moment to assess your dog. If your dog has more serious injuries, then you will need to address these first before dealing with the broken leg. If the injury occurred on a road, move the dog to a safe place and then administer emergency first aid. Some things to look for include:  Whether or not your dog is alert. If your dog is unconscious, then he may have a head injury. Whether or not your dog can take full breaths. The color of their gums. They should be pink. If they are very pale, muddy, or blueish in color, then your dog is not getting enough oxygen and needs immediate veterinary attention. Strong, synchronous pulses. Feel for the heart beating on the lower chest, near the elbow joint. The femoral pulse is also easy to feel on the inside surface of the thigh, in the middle of the leg. If you cannot find a strong regular pulse, then seek immediate veterinary attention for your dog. If you see your dog limping, take a look to see which leg is injured. Do a slow, careful examination of the injured leg. The broken leg could be really obvious, such as an exposed, open fracture. In this case, you’ll need to keep the wound clean. If it is a closed fracture, your dog may be limping but there may not be any blood or obvious wound. Whatever type of break, you’ll need to apply first aid and get your dog to the veterinary hospital right away!  Apply pressure if you notice that the limb is bleeding. Since injured dogs can be fearful and aggressive, you’ll need to be careful. Signs of aggression include growling, snapping, snarling, and rigidness. To avoid getting bitten, don’t put your hands or face close to the injured dog, especially if it is already agitated. To help keep your dog calm, place a light towel or cloth over their head. This will help to limit light and sound, which may help to keep your dog calm. If you need to move the dog away from the place where the accident occurred, you can use a towel sling to support some of their weight. Wrap a...

TL;DR in English: Evaluate the dog for more severe injuries. Examine the injured leg. Bandage and secure any wounds with first aid tape. Put a leg-splint on your dog. Use a towel as a sling to move your dog to the carrier. Restrain your dog in a carrier. Get your dog to the veterinary hospital.

Glass canning jars work well for this purpose. Fill the container to the top to minimize the amount of oxygen in the container. Break up 3 cinnamon sticks and immerse them in the milk. Bruise 1/4 cup (67 g) of fresh mint by rolling it between your fingers. Place it in the milk and stir it. Bruise 1/4 cup (67 g) of rose petals by rolling them between your fingers. Place them directly in the milk and stir them. Scrape the seeds from 1 vanilla bean into the milk. Stir them well.  Remove them and remove the plant or spice particles by pouring the milk through a metal strainer. Scented almond milk will have a mild flavor of the plant or spice. The act of breathing in the scent can make the taste of the milk more pleasing. These milks are great to use on desserts, granola or in smoothies and shakes. You can also add honey or agave syrup to create a sweeter flavor in your scented milk.

Since crushed ice is already broken down (and a little easier to blend) than cubed ice, it’s going to create a creamier consistency. If you don’t have crushed ice, use a food processor to crush up the ice into bean-sized chunks beforehand. Cover the blender with a lid and blend the ingredients until it’s close to the consistency of a milkshake. If you see large clumps of ice (bigger than the size of a pea), keep blending until they’re not noticeable.  How long you need to blend it depends on the power of your blender, so check it every 30 to 45 seconds if you’re not sure. If the mixture has the consistency of thin milk, add nonfat dry milk powder about 2 tablespoons (6.0  tsp) at a time until you have a thicker, creamy consistency. Place the container as far back into the freezer as possible to speed up the process. You can even wedge it between other frozen items to make it go even faster. You can take it out sooner if you’re ready to eat it, but note that some parts may be less solidified than others. If you like your ice cream super soft, take it out at the 2 hour mark. Add fresh cherries, sliced bananas, granola (or crushed graham crackers/waffle cones), and chocolate syrup to make a sundae.  Sprinkle 1 tablespoon (3.0  tsp) of coconut flakes over the top with a few small chunks of fresh mango for a tropical-tasting treat. Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to a week. Wrap the top with saran wrap (before putting on the lid) to keep the top from frosting over!

TL;DR in English: Place 2 cups (470 mL) of crushed ice into your blender. Blend the mixture for at least 1 minute or until it’s smooth. Put it in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours. Spoon the ice cream into serving bowls and add your favorite toppings.

Check the physician’s orders, MAR, and the Parenteral Drug Therapy Manual (PDTM) to identify the correct medication to be administered. Then prepare the medication by sticking the syringe into the appropriate vial. Make sure to fill the syringe with an appropriate amount of medication. The dosage of an intradermal injection is typically below 0.5 ml. Place non-sterile gloves, a syringe, alcohol swabs, and gauze on a tray. Place the tray near your workstation.  Make sure the needle you are using is a 3⁄8 to 3⁄4 inch (1.0 to 1.9 cm), 26 to 28 gauge needle. Non-sterile, medical gloves are typically used for medical procedures that are non-surgical. Introduce yourself to the patient. To reduce the patient’s anxiety about the procedure, explain to the patient why the procedure is being done and what it will entail. Also, allow the patient to express any concerns and to ask questions before you begin. To avoid any kind of contamination, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Lather your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds and rinse with warm water. Before turning off the water, dry your hands with paper towels and use the paper towels to turn off the faucet. Once your hands are dry, put on your medical gloves to prepare for the procedure. Intradermal injections are usually given on the inner surface of the forearm. Choose an injection site that is free of hair, moles, rashes, scars, and other skin lesions. Intradermal injections can also be administered on the patient’s thigh or the back of their upper arm. Ask the patient where they prefer you to administer the medication. Ensure you have the correct medication and dosage. You should also double-check the patient’s name to be sure you are administering the correct medication to the correct person. Ensure the patient knows what you are administering. You could say “the doctor ordered ‘xyz medication.’ Is this what you were expecting?”

TL;DR in English: Prepare the medication. Gather your supplies. Explain the procedure to the patient. Wash your hands and put on gloves. Choose the injection site. Double check the medication and patient.

Have your supplies on hand before you start on this experiment. You will need:  Plastic bottle with a cap: A large soda bottle is ideal for this experiment. Make sure to remove the label from the plastic bottle. Then you will be able to see the clouds when they form inside the bottle. It is also best to choose a clear bottle. Matches Water Use hot water from the tap. Pour in enough water to cover the bottom of the bottle, or about 1 inch (2.5 cm).  Don’t use boiling water in a plastic bottle. The plastic might warp and the experiment won’t work. The water should be hot, though. Try for about 130 °F (54 °C). Swirl around the water a bit to warm up the sides of the bottle. Blow it out after a few full seconds. Make sure an adult is around you while you are doing this step. Tilt the bottle with one hand and insert the head of the match into the top of the bottle. Let the smoke from the match fill the bottle. , where it will seem to disappear. Discard the match. Grip the neck of the bottle so that you do not squeeze the sides before the cap is screwed in completely. This prevents any smoke or air from escaping. Do this three or four times.  Wait a few seconds then squeeze the bottle again, this time holding the squeeze longer before releasing. You should see your very own cloud there!   Putting pressure on the bottle's sides forces the water particles to compress.  When you let go of the sides of the bottle, the air expands, decreasing the temperature. When the air cools, the particles can stick together a little more easily, which causes them to clump into little tiny droplets around the smoke molecules.   This mimics the process of clouds forming in the sky.  Clouds in the sky are made up of water droplets that have clung to tiny particles of dust, smoke, ash, or salt.

TL;DR in English: Assemble your supplies. Pour hot water into the bottle. Strike a match. Toss the burned match into the bottle. Screw the cap onto the bottle. Squeeze the sides of the bottle hard. Look at the formation of fog in the bottle.

This is the best way to find local musicians who are actively searching for people to join their band. If you don’t see any posted ads in these places, check back again on a regular basis to see if any new ads have been put up.  For example, make it a point to pop into the same local music store every weekend to see if anybody has posted a notice for a musician to join their band. Try to go to as many local places as possible. Your area probably has a lot of venues for bands to play in, so check all of them out to see if these bands are looking for new members. Talk to other participants in the class to see if they’re either in a band or know people in one. This is one of the most direct and simple ways of expanding your music network in your local area, which is very helpful for finding other musicians.  For best results, sign up for a course in the musical instrument that you want to play in the band. For example, if you want to join a band as a drummer, take a class on drumming. Enrolling in music classes also has the added benefit of helping you be a better musician down the line. They may not be members of a band who are seeking a new bandmate, but there’s a chance they’re friends with people in a band. Going to open mic nights is also the best way to meet people in your local music scene without having to actually play an instrument. There are a variety of websites where you can either peruse different bands’ listings or post your own ad for bands to look at. Going online will also allow you to narrow your search based on your specific preferences or requirements.  For instance, if you’re only interested in joining a punk rock band, you can narrow your search to only those bands that play punk rock music. Some of the best websites to use include JoinMyBand, Gumtree, JamKazam, and BandMix. You may also find musicians looking for people to join their band on social media. Facebook and Twitter are the most common social media platforms to look on, but musicians also tend to be active on Soundcloud,...

TL;DR in English: Look for ads and notices in music stores, venues, and rehearsal rooms. Join a group music lesson or class to network with other musicians. Go to open mic nights and jam sessions to meet other fans of music. Use websites that post listings for bands that are looking for members. Upload videos of yourself playing music online. Post your own classified ads
