Create a system for keeping track of each character’s profile. Start building a character profile, even if you don’t know all the details. Consider the kind of story you’re writing to guide your characters. Spend some time world-building before you begin to write.

Just anyone. Even if it's "What homework do we have in algebra?" It's an excuse to talk to people. Make them laugh, but don't try to be funny. Talk about things you can relate to, be really friendly and always smile, be tight with people; just don't be too open with your secrets, personal things are called personal for a reason and you could really damage your reputation if you let people gossip behind your back. Just know who your real friends are. Ask the cool girl you sit next to in science if she wants to go bowling this weekend and frequently throw sleepovers. If you invite people to do things, they will have to invite you to do things. Sure, this worked in Mean Girls, so why wouldn't it work in real life? This is because things like this only happen in movies, not real life. Think: would YOU like to be known as the girl that is rude to everybody? Neither would we.

TL;DR in English: Talk to people. Invite people to do stuff with you. Don't be mean.

Parents can install apps that help prevent teens from texting and driving. These apps can alert you to when your teen uses their phones while driving, and also when the teen turns off the app. Talk to your teen about using these apps on their phone and their purpose. You want to help them learn safe driving habits, not make them think you are spying on them.  Cellcontrol is a paid subscription service that provides a device that goes in the car which hooks to the app. The app blocks the phone from receiving or sending texts while the car is moving. It also blocks other features, like the camera. Drive Safe Mode is another app for parents that helps prevent the driver from sending and receiving texts. If you see someone who constantly texts and drives, consider having a conversation with them. You may want to ask them if they are aware of the dangers of texting and driving, or just tell them you feel uncomfortable when they do that while you ride in the car with them.  For example, if you have a teen driver, have a family discussion about the dangers of texting and driving. Discuss possible alternatives to help keep your teen off their phone. If you are in the car with someone who is driving, ask them not to text while you are a passenger. Say, "I am very uncomfortable with texting and driving because it is so dangerous. Will you please not text while you are driving me around?" If someone is trying to check their phone while driving, offer to read the text and respond for them. This keeps their eyes on the road, and they still get to send a text they feel is really important. Try saying, "I am happy to text them back so you can concentrate on driving. Just tell me what to say." Setting texting and driving rules in your family can help everyone, teen and adult drivers alike. Make it a rule that no one can text while driving, even the adults. This sets a good example for teen drivers and keeps everyone safe.  Set consequences for texting and driving. For example, your teen may lose driving privileges if they...

TL;DR in English: Place an app on your teen's phone. Talk to the person. Offer to text for the person. Set rules.

To engage in Emotional Clearing requires you to know what emotional experience or episode it is that you are trying to clear. A trigger is anything that elicits a negative emotional response.  Reflect on things that have aroused negative emotion in you lately. Was it a fight with a loved one? Being stuck in traffic? These are examples of triggers. Try to keep in mind triggers that you may not think of normally. For example, maybe it is really hot outside and that is actually making you angry, or maybe you stubbed your toe and the pain made you angry but you attributed it to something else, like your partner. Stop resisting negative feelings in your body and instead bring awareness to all aspects of your body and allow it to inform you about how you think and feel about things out in the world and in your mind. To embrace your body's negative sensations, do not try to avoid or distract yourself from feeling negative. Instead accept that you will at times feel negative emotions by realizing they are normal and think about how they make your body feel. Take deep breaths in and out to calm yourself and to put yourself into a state of deep relaxation. Instead, bring awareness to them and allow them. We avoid actually feeling our emotions by projecting them and repressing them. This must stop to actually clear them. Instead of trying to shut out your negative thoughts, observe them and question them.  As you are observing and questioning your thoughts and feelings, take responsibility for them by telling yourself that they are your own and yours alone.   Question your emotions by asking why you think you are experiencing them, ask yourself whether you are sure the cause is what you think it is. For example, maybe you are angry because of something your partner said to you, or maybe it is really hot outside and you are annoyed, or maybe some combination of both. As you embrace the sensations, feelings, and thoughts and beliefs that you have, follow them to their origins in your childhood. Think about how you the way...

TL;DR in English: Identify your triggers. Embrace your body's negative sensations. Relax. Stop resisting your emotions. Embrace negative thoughts. Follow your sensations to their roots. Witness your sensations at their roots.

Don't rely on bird seed, which is too fatty and does not require your bird to use her beak. Buy a premium pelleted food, and feed your bird lots of fresh vegetables (such as broccoli, cabbage, garlic, collards, asparagus) and occasional fresh fruit. Feed your bird a few almonds each day to encourage chewing.  Learn if your bird is a florivore, omnivore, granivore, frugivore, or nectarivore.  Though diet will depend on breed, pelleted food should typically be 65-80% of the diet. Vegetables should make up 15-30%, and the remainder can be seeds and fruits.  If your bird is accustomed to seeds, try sprouting the seeds to help your bird transition to vegetables. The fat content will lower, and the texture will be more vegetable-like.  Birds that have had too much fat in their diets are at risk for developing liver disease, which can cause beak overgrowth. These birds need vegetables, as well as citrus peel, egg yolks, unprocessed grains, and turmeric to detoxify. Buy chew toys for your bird. You can buy build-your-own toys that let you string rope with mineral pieces, wooden blocks, plastic beads, and pieces of real coconut. Put several in the cage at once, and rotate them out so that your bird doesn't get bored. If you notice she chews some more than others, buy more of those.  Buy a lava rock. You can hang a lava rock in your bird's cage, or attach it to the side. These are great for your bird to wear her beak naturally. Hide food in a chew toy. Buy a shreddable toy that you can hide treats in. Your parrot will trim her beak shredding up the toy. Check rope toys frequently for fraying. Remove frayed rope, as this can tangle around your bird's toes. Your bird will wear her own nails and beak into good condition if she has a cement, pumice, or mineral perch to sit on. After she eats, she will wipe her beak on the perch, thus sharpening and trimming it. Buy a perch that is designed specifically for your kind of bird. For instance, find a perch that will transmit essential minerals from your bird's part of the...

TL;DR in English: Feed your bird well. Buy your bird chew toys. Install a special perch.

The reason that employers place so much emphasis on work experience is because they want to ensure that you have developed the skills necessary to complete the job. As a result, it is very important that you clearly list and highlight all relevant skills. Some skills to consider include:  Computer skills: This can include working with Windows and Mac operating systems, typing over 60 words per minute, proficiency with PowerPoint or other Microsoft Office programs, web programming, blogging, content management systems, databases, graphic design and more. Communication skills: Includes anything from public speaking, writing, training, and listening to facilitating teamwork. Problem-solving and research skills: Students and bloggers have finely honed research skills that can be an asset to a company. People with organizational or office management skills can also boast exceptional problem solving skills. Managerial or leadership skills: If you have ever led a project at your job, through a charity, or amongst friends, then you have experience developing leadership skills. Although it is essential to know and understand all of the skills that you have developed over the years, it is even more important that you can relate those skills to past work or volunteer experience. This will demonstrate to a potential employer that you have actually put your skills into practice. It is one thing to say “I have excellent written communication skills,” but is even more impressive to say “I have 2,500 followers on my blog, which focuses on creative writing.” You have likely developed numerous skills through extra-curricular activities and the connection between these activities and your dream job, may not be obvious. For example, perhaps your hobby is soccer. This does not immediately transfer to a position in IT, but if you coached a soccer team or organized a league, you can demonstrate that you have concrete leadership abilities. Awards and recognition can help to give weight to some of the standard statements that are...

TL;DR in English: List all of your skills. Relate your skills to your experiences. Explain how these skills are transferable to the job or industry. Identify any awards you have won.

A character profile is a place where you keep important details and dates for every character in your story, from what their allergies are to the date that one really important thing happened. Do this for every character, no matter how small their role. There are a lot of ways you can organize this information:  Keep a file folder with notes for each character. Have a notebook where you keep the character details. Use a word document on your computer. Utilize the “notes” function on your smart phone. Write details on sticky notes and have a wall dedicated to character development where you can display them. Sometimes details about characters don’t make themselves apparent until you’re in the midst of writing. But—whatever details you can decide on up front, write them down. Things to include:  Their name, age, occupation, special skills, education, family details, height, weight, eye and hair colors, mannerisms, habits, and important dates. There are so many details you can include, and a lot of them may never make it into your story. But the fact that you know them helps you write a more well-rounded and believable character. Visit https://www.writerswrite.com/journal/jun98/how-to-create-a-character-profile-6986 for a more comprehensive list of things you can include in the character profile. Did you start your project with a great story idea? Or are you being driven by an awesome character and aren’t quite sure of the plot yet? There is no right answer! But it’s helpful to think about where you think the story is going and how your character lives in that world. Add these details to your character profile. For example, if you have an awesome idea for a love story and you know some of the twists and turns it’ll take, write them out and see if your character fits into those moments. If you need a protagonist who is romantic and plans extravagant gestures, it probably wouldn’t make sense if your character is forgetful or sloppy. Whether you’re writing something based in our world today or a story that takes...

Studies have shown that by increasing the amount of water that you drink, you can also increase your metabolic rate by as much as 40%. This increase may be a result of your body’s attempt to heat the water that you are ingesting, but the reason for the increase is unclear. Our bodies also often confuse thirst and hunger, so it is important to stay hydrated for that reason as well. Coffee has been shown to increase metabolism because of the caffeine content. One study showed that drinking coffee significantly increased the metabolic rate of both normal weight and obese subjects. Keep in mind that the metabolic effects of caffeine are small compared to other measures like exercise. Excess consumption of caffeine can also cause nervousness, insomnia, and other negative side effects. Combining green tea (even decaf green tea) with diet and exercise can improve your metabolic rate. One study showed that combining decaffeinated green tea extract with exercise created more dramatic results than exercise alone. Consider adding decaffeinated green tea extract or drinking a cup or two of green tea as a complement to your diet and exercise regimen. Crash diets dramatically restrict your caloric intake, which can have a negative effect on your metabolism. Even though you may experience some initial weight loss from a crash diet, crash diets ultimately slow down your metabolism and often lead to gaining more weight after the fact. Crash diets can also cause you to become deficient in some important nutrients due to the limitations that they place on the variety of your food intake.

TL;DR in English: Drink plenty of water. Drink coffee. Drink green tea. Follow a healthy diet, not a crash diet.

For tighter curls, grab smaller sections and for less tighter curls take bigger sections . It may help to loosely clamp the hair higher up and then slide it down. Angling the iron slightly will make your hair easier to curl and prevent the curls from sticking too far out from the side of your head. Your actual time may vary depending on your curling iron and heat settings, so if you need to experiment, on the lower  side in the beginning. Your curls should be finished and ready to show off! If desired, you can spritz the curls with a little hairspray to help maintain them longer.

TL;DR in English: Grab one section of hair to curl. Squeeze the curling iron open and place it near the bottom of a section of hair. Hold the hair inside the iron for approximately 10 seconds. Enjoy your curls.

During your time at college, you’ll encounter many new people with cultures, opinions, behaviors, and spiritual backgrounds different from your own. Rather than passing judgment on these people, treat them with the same respect you would expect from them. Remind yourself that you're all God’s children, which means you’re all equally deserving of love. By promoting open, respectful dialogue, you’ll have a chance to explain your beliefs as a Christian and perhaps even cause someone to rethink their preconceived notions. For many students, college presents an opportunity to cut loose and try new things, but these experiences won’t always be positive ones. Don’t be afraid to walk away from a situation if it makes you uncomfortable. Resisting peer pressure may be difficult at first, but after you work up the nerve to put your foot down a few times, you’ll begin to grow stronger in your convictions.  When you’re not sure if what you’re doing is right, ask yourself whether your church leader or another trusted mentor would approve. There’s no reason to feel ashamed for not going along with everyone else. You’re not hiding behind your religion, you’re serving God’s will through your actions. Hang a cross on the wall of your dorm room, or wear an ichthys pendant around your neck. Symbols like these can provide comfort in times of doubt or hardship. Whenever you’re feeling lost, look upon them and reflect on God’s plan for you.  Wherever you go, your Bible should come with you. It’s your most accessible source for receiving God’s word.  Write a few of your favorite inspirational verses on the inside of your notebook so you’ll see them every day when you’re preparing for class. When it doubt, pray. God’s grace is always there to offer much-needed direction and reassurance when you need it most. Listen to His answer and carry it out as his faithful disciple. Focus on the blessings He has bestowed upon you, not your own fears and insecurities.  Pray for the wisdom to help you ace a big exam, or the courage to put your...

Choose an area where you have at least 50 meters (164.0 ft) of space on all sides. Football fields, soccer pitches, and open park spaces are all good options. Make sure there are not too many trees or bushes for your boomerang to get caught in, or large bodies of water for it to fall into.  Avoid practicing your boomerang throw in crowded areas, or places with a lot of windows or parked cars. It can be difficult to predict where your boomerang will land, and a mis-thrown boomerang can cause significant injury or damage to property.  You should always throw from the center of an open space. This will help you to throw more consistently, while also providing some leeway on all sides if the flight of the boomerang doesn't go as planned. Wind is one of the most important  factors in the proper return of a boomerang. Ideally, you want a nice calm day, with winds between 0 to 10 mph (16 km/h). Some boomerangs will not return in completely calm weather, but most will. Avoid throwing your boomerang in high winds, as it will distort the path of the boomerang and throw it off course.  Light rain will not distort the flight of the boomerang. If you choose to use your boomerang on rainy days, put a protective seal on it, especially if it's made from wood, to prevent it from swelling with moisture.  Even though falling snow will not affect the flight of the boomerang, snow on the ground will conceal a fallen boomerang, making it almost impossible to find. You want to throw the boomerang "around" the wind, meaning that you throw it to the right of an oncoming wind, and it returns on the left (or the opposite if you're left-handed). You want to throw your boomerang between 45 to 90 degrees to the right or left of an oncoming wind.  To figure out wind direction, pick up a fistful of grass or leave and throw them into the air. If the leaves blow across your face to the right, you will need to turn left, and vice versa.  Stand so that the wind is blowing directly into your face, then turn about 45 degrees to the left or right,...

TL;DR in English: Find a large, open area. Watch out for weather conditions. Throw the boomerang around the wind.

Separating from a spouse almost always reduces your income and increases your expenses. Accordingly, you need to create a budget, preferably before you separate. You can make a budget with your wife. However, since you will be living alone, you really need to take control of financial decision-making yourself.  Look at all sources of income. If you are staying with the children, you can expect child support payments from your wife. But these can take time to establish. Also, you should ideally manage to support yourself as best as you can without relying on your spouse. Take a hard look at your expenses. If you were used to splitting the cost of car insurance, food, and entertainment with your wife, you will now be entirely responsible for those. Your individual expenses could increase as a result. You will need a cushion to help you transition to your single life. Ideally, you should save at least three months of expenses. This amount will give you time to set up your new life. Any balance on a joint credit card is generally the responsibility of both you and your wife. You want to make sure that no new expenses are added to the card. Call up the credit card company and ask that no new charges be allowed on the card. If necessary, you can close the card. You also should try to get a credit card in your own name. You should not use any joint card after you separate. Once you decide to separate, you don’t want your wife cleaning out the joint bank account. For this reason, you should move quickly to either close the account or require that both spouses provide signatures before money can be removed.  Call up your bank and ask how you can limit withdrawals. Also cancel overdraft lines and lines of credit. Make sure to have any direct deposit routed to a new bank account. This may take some time to go through so start as soon as possible. If you need your wife to agree to close the account, then you should find a good time to talk and raise the issue with her. You could say, “Since we’re living apart, I think it...

You won't be able to drive a ball over the batter's eye in center field just be reading articles online at home. You'll need to get into the gym and work on building up and reinforcing the most important key to your swing - your body. While a massive chest, broad shoulders, and bulging biceps look impressive, a powerful swing actually requires other muscles. While the swinging seems to be done by your upper body, your upper body is mostly a vehicle for delivering the power that your legs generate. Work on improving lower body strength. Powerful, multi-joint moves like squats, lunges, and cleans are a great way to build up functional lower body strength. Abs, obliques, and your lower back muscles are necessary for stabilizing your upper body and delivering the power generated by your legs through contact with the ball. A weak core will compromise the kinetic chain from your lower body to the head of the bat. While biceps may look good at the beach, they do little for your baseball swing. Strong wrists and a strong grip, on the other hand, add both stability and bat speed to your swing. Don't neglect them. There is a reason why athletes from all-star baseball sluggers to NFL running backs and receivers take yoga and dance classes to give them an edge in their sports. You should do the same.  Focusing on flexibility through exercises like yoga, which builds core strength and stability as well as increases range of motion.   By making your body more flexible you'll boost your reaction time and bat speed in addition to keeping your kinetic chain fluid and powerful. While the effects of learning to relax are physical, the process is mental. Some athletes use meditation or yoga to relax, some repeat reassuring phrases or mantras. Sluggers and hitting coaches know that trying to hit a home run with every swing is a sure-fire way to start a hitting slump.

See if she wants to keep your attention or if her eyes move away from yours. If she is consistently making eye contact and sometimes blushing while doing it, chances are she’s interested in you. She may also try stealing quick glances at you when she thinks you're not looking.  Of course, you don't want to just stare at her because that will come off as creepy. Just glance in her direction, or try to hold her eyes for a couple of seconds. However, some girls are just shy, and they may not want to make eye contact with you. Try encouraging her with other steps. Smiling shows your interest, and makes it easy for her to smile back at you. Sometimes, it might take a while for both of you to just make eye contact and smile before you’re ready to actually talk to each other. Even if you’re nervous, smiling is a good way to make contact because a smile actually acts as a reward to other people. In other words, when you smile at her, her brain perceives it as a reward, making her happier to be around you. Don’t just hang around with the same group of friends. It’s much easier to approach someone who is alone rather than someone who's with a large group, so if you make sure you're alone sometime when she's around, she might come over and talk to you. You could also try and go alone to a place you know she will be to make yourself a little more available. You never know what might happen. For instance, maybe you notice she spends time at the library after school. Make it a point to show up there, too. Try sitting at a table near her, where she can see you. ” It’s an easy first step and a way to acknowledge that you’re noticing each other. You don’t have to do much more at first if you’re shy. If she’s unwilling to say “hi” back, she might not be interested. Try it a few more times, but if she never responds, let it go. You might be nervous about approaching her, but the only way you can really test your theory of whether she likes you or not is to actually talk to her. If she’s responded to your greeting, you can move...

An ACL injury can be caused by a number of different actions, including landing improperly, twisting your leg, changing direction suddenly or rapidly, or getting hit by someone or something, among others. With an ACL injury, you may experience a range of symptoms. These may include:  Pain Swelling within 24 hours Instability of the knee Unable to use your leg's full range of motion Tenderness at your knee joint Difficulty walking The knee joint is comprised of the femur, supporting the thigh or quadriceps muscle, and the tibia and fibula, which are located in the lower leg. There is also cartilage that cushions the knee joint. This cartilage, called the meniscus, is sandwiched between the upper and lower leg bones. Multiple ligaments support the knee and provide stability from all angles, with the ACL playing a critical role. Ligaments join bone to bone. The ACL is formed in a cross-like structure, functioning to join the femur to tibia. This prevents the femur from sliding backward on the tibia. It also prevents the tibia from sliding forward on the femur. The ACL can be strained, torn, or severely damaged. If strained or torn, the ligament is stretched beyond its usual capacity. This results in small or large tears that compromise the integrity of the ligament. Consequently, the knee joint is less stable. In addition, you may suffer a microvascular injury that results in bruising and swelling of the knee. At the other end of the spectrum, in cases of more severe trauma, the ligament may be entirely ruptured, resulting in significant knee instability. This type of injury is also usually accompanied by severe swelling and bruising as a result of the internal damage to blood vessels in the region. ACL tears may occur in conjunction with other ligamentous or meniscal injuries to the knee, or even a fracture of the tibia or fibula. Fractures are more common with “contact” ACL injuries such as a car accident, while “non-contact” injuries occur most commonly in sports like basketball and soccer.

TL;DR in English: Recognize an ACL injury. Understand knee joint anatomy. Learn about varying degrees of injury severity. Know that ACL injuries can happen with other injuries.

Having a game plan for what you and your family will be eating each week can be a game changer. With a meal plan, you will be more likely to eat healthy foods, even if you are on the go. Sit down with your family once a week and make a plan for what you will be eating at each meal during the upcoming week. Once you have your healthy meal plan put together, you will need to make a shopping list. Go through all the recipes you will be making and list all of the ingredients you will need to make your meals. Be sure to go through your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer to see what ingredients you already have on hand. Making sure your kitchen is stocked with healthy food is one of the most important parts of successfully preparing healthy meals. Pick a day that you can make a weekly shopping trip, and make it part of your weekly schedule. When you come home from a long day of work, chopping and preparing ingredients for a healthy dinner can seem overwhelming. You can get ahead of the game by taking an hour or two on the weekend and prepping ingredients for your meals.  For example, you can chop the veggies you'll need for weeknight dinners on the weekend. If you're planning on making meals with rice, you can try cooking a big batch on the weekend. You can make the most of your time in the kitchen by giving batch cooking a chance. Batch cooking is when you prepare multiple portions of several meals that you will eat at a later date. You can store the portions in your refrigerator to eat later in the week, or in your freezer if you plan on consuming them later that month. You can be even more successful at preparing healthy meals on the go if you have a plan for your leftovers. For example, you can use Monday's leftover roasted pork in Tuesday's pork barbecue sandwiches. Crockpots will do the cooking for you while you are at work, school, or running errands. For example, you can place four chicken breasts and a can of salsa in a crockpot for 4 hours on low heat. When you come home, shred the chicken and place in...

Thresh the lentils to shake them loose from the plant. Remove pods by hand if any remain after threshing. Winnow the lentils to remove the chaff and other debris. Store the lentils in a dry, cool place.

You won't see the result immediately, but keeping a dryer garden is the best method for long-term slug control. Here are some tactics for making your garden less friendly to the damp-loving pests:  Water plants in the early to mid morning, so the soil dries before nightfall.  Install drip irrigation to minimize water use. Keep the yard free of debris, and mow the lawn regularly. Avoid organic mulches, such as straw or grass clippings. Space plants far enough apart to allow air flow between them. The following plant preparations all deter slugs to some extent, if you can find them in your local gardening store:  Oak leaf mulch or tobacco stem meal, spread as a barrier around plants Wormwood tea, made from steeping artemisia cuttings in warm water for 24 hours. Strain and combine with soapy water, then spray onto soil or slugs. Purchase strips of copper foil wide enough that the slugs can’t bridge it with their bodies. Use them to form a barricade around your plants or planting beds. Young children may cut themselves on the strips. Spread salt on the surface where the slugs are crawling around to kill them by drawing out moisture. Be aware that salt can easily kill plants and ruin soil. Use this around the base of potted plants on a porch, or place a barrier on the soil prior to spreading the salt in order to protect the integrity of the soil. Avoid using salt in situations where it can come into the contact with water (like when rainy weather is likely or a sprinkler is running). Water can dissolve salt and wash it off of "safe" surfaces and into the soil, harming soil quality. Frustrated gardeners have thrown just about any substance in their garden to try to keep slugs away. The following are the best of these homemade solutions, but are unlikely to deter 100% of slugs:  Coffee grounds may have mild effects on the health of your garden. Sharp, coarse sand scrapes against slugs, but may not deter them completely. Seaweed is not as effective as plain salt, but perhaps a little safer for your soil. Calcified...

TL;DR in English: Keep your garden dry. Create mulch or tea from certain plants. Make a copper strip barrier. Sprinkle salt on non-soil surfaces. Build folk remedy barriers. Grow plants that deter slugs. Consider using more powerful (but more hazardous) barriers.

A kerf is just a saw cut, and kerfing means cutting a series of these slits so your wood can bend. The result is much weaker than other methods of bending wood, but it keeps the wood permanently flexible along that curve. It is also the fastest approach, and does not require special equipment. The cuts must be against the grain to reduce the chance of splitting the wood. Use a table saw to make these cuts along the part of the wood you'd like to bend. Space your cuts evenly (and close together) with a jig, or use a visual indicator on your table to get a consistent distance between cuts. In order to bend your wood more than a slight curve, you'll need to cut almost entirely through the wood. Leave only a thin edge to hold the wood together. Bend the wood so the "spines" left by your cut touch, forming a single stress-bearing edge. You can now keep the bend in place by fastening the two ends of the lumber to a stable object. Remember that this is a weak bend, and do not rely on it to support much weight or stress. If you want to hide the gaps left by the saw, plug them with wood filler that matches your lumber. Alternatively, leave the wood as-is if you prefer the aesthetic, or if you would like to bend it to different angles.

TL;DR in English: Plan your project. Cut a series of grooves against the grain. Cut almost to the edge of the wood. Bend the wood inward. Fill the kerfs if desired.

To add uncertain measurements, simply add the measurements and add their uncertainties:  (5 cm ± .2 cm) + (3 cm ± .1 cm) = (5 cm + 3 cm) ± (.2 cm +. 1 cm) = 8 cm ± .3 cm To subtract uncertain measurements, simply subtract the measurements while still adding their uncertainties:  (10 cm ± .4 cm) - (3 cm ± .2 cm) = (10 cm - 3 cm) ± (.4 cm +. 2 cm) = 7 cm ± .6 cm To multiply uncertain measurements, simply multiply the measurements while adding their RELATIVE uncertainties (as a percentage): Calculating uncertainties with multiplication does not work with absolute values (like we had in addition and subtraction), but with relative ones. You get the relative uncertainty by dividing the absolute uncertainty with a measured value and multiplying by 100 to get percentage.  For example:  (6 cm ± .2 cm) = (.2 / 6) x 100 and add a % sign. That is 3.3 % Therefore: (6 cm ± .2 cm) x (4 cm ± .3 cm) = (6 cm ± 3.3% ) x (4 cm ± 7.5%) (6 cm x 4 cm) ± (3.3 + 7.5) = 24 cm ± 10.8 % = 24 cm ± 2.6 cm To divide uncertain measurements, simply divide the measurements while adding their RELATIVE uncertainties:The process is the same as in multiplication!  (10 cm ± .6 cm) ÷ (5 cm ± .2 cm) = (10 cm ± 6%) ÷ (5 cm ± 4%) (10 cm ÷ 5 cm) ± (6% + 4%) = 2 cm ± 10% = 2 cm ± 0.2 cm To increase an uncertain measurement exponentially, simply raise the measurement to the designated power, and then multiply the relative uncertainty by that power:  (2.0 cm ± 1.0 cm)3 = (2.0 cm)3 ± (50%) x 3 = 8.0 cm3 ± 150 % or  8.0 cm3 ±12 cm3

TL;DR in English: Add uncertain measurements. Subtract uncertain measurements. Multiply uncertain measurements. Divide uncertain measurements. Increase an uncertain measurement exponentially.

Bikini-area hair tends to be a little coarser than other body hair, so it might be difficult to take it off with the type of razor that comes 10 to a pack. Instead, pick out a high-quality razor designed for use on sensitive skin. Use a razor with new, sharp blades, since using a dull razor can cause chafing and ingrown hairs.  A men's razor is better to shave your bikini area. They are usually sturdier and have more than one blade, unlike women's razors. They remove hair easily while taking good care of sensitive skin. (You can usually distinguish the two types by color. Men's razors are usually white. Women's razors are usually pink or pastel-colored.) Avoid using a razor that has just one blade, unless it is a very sharp safety razor. Razors with just one blade have a tough time removing hair in the bikini area. Look for one with three or four blades so you will get a closer cut. A brand-new razor that has never been used before will be sharper than a used one. If you have to use a lower quality disposable razor, using a brand new one every time you shave the bikini line will yield best results. You can always use the used razor for armpits and legs. The type of cream or soap you use does not really matter, as long as you use something. Pick your preference: body wash, shaving cream, or even hair conditioner all work equally well. Soaps and creams that contain fragrances can sometimes be irritating to sensitive skin.  Test the product on another, less sensitive part of your body before you use it in your bikini area. Take a look at yourself in the mirror and determine where you want the cutoff to be. The bikini line is a little different on every woman, but in most cases you will remove any hair that would be exposed if you were wearing bikini bottoms. That includes hair on your upper thighs, around the groin and below the belly button.  For a simple shaving guideline, bring a pair of your underwear into the shower. Wear them while shaving. Anything peeking up below the seams should be removed. (Note: this...

TL;DR in English: Use a sharp razor. Choose soap or shaving cream. Decide how much hair to remove. Trim the hair to 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm). Take a nice hot shower or bath.

In order to write about sports, you need to be an expert in all things related to sports. There are several things you can do in order to develop a broad knowledge base. First, watch and attend as many sports games as you can. Practice memorizing coach and player names and positions on the team. Also, watch and take notes on interviews with players and coaches in order to learn the kinds of questions journalists ask.  You can also become an expert by joining a team. By joining a team, you will become familiar with the actual mechanics of the sport, like the game's rules, the player's positions, and strategies used by players and coaches to win games. This will enable you to write more candidly about the sport as a journalist. Familiarize yourself with game statistics like team win-loss ratio, player ratings, and injury statistics, as well. Once you have basic training in journalism, apply for a sports writing internship. This is very important because it will give you job experience. Job experience is invaluable and will give you an edge when applying for jobs. It will also help you determine if you prefer newspaper, online, television, radio, or magazine journalism.  You can obtain an internship through your college program. Ask your program about the internships that are available to you. Also, look for internships through your local newspaper, magazine, or newsletter. Having a niche can make a huge difference in a competitive sports journalism world. Focus on sports that you are passionate about, for example, soccer, tennis, football, or volleyball. You can also research sports that are underreported, for example, rugby. This will enable you to make your sports writing stand out and desirable.

TL;DR in English: Become a sports expert. Apply for a sports writing internship. Find a niche.

There are many ways you can thresh the lentils. You can start with small stems and rub the plants between your hands until the lentils fall off. Or you can put the lentils in a bag or pillowcase. Hit the bag with a stick or walk on top of the bag to free the lentils. Threshing can also help shell the lentils, breaking them away from their pods. You can also remove the lentils by hand. If they are mature, they should come off easily when you pull them from the plant. Since this can be time consuming, only do this for lentils that did not come off from shaking the plant.  Try rubbing off any remaining pods. Put the stem in the palm of your hand and use your fingers to separate the lentils. If the lentils don't fall off easily, they may not be ripe enough. Try leaving them on a drying rack for a few days. Get 2 buckets that can hold your harvest. Stand outside and pour the lentils into 1 bucket. Lift up the bucket and pour the lentils into the second bucket. Keep pouring the lentils between the buckets until most of the chaff blows away.  When you pour the lentils into the bucket, chaff blows away in the wind while the heavier lentils remain in the buckets. If you can't go outside, stand in front of a fan on a low setting. Chaff includes leaves, stems, and other bits of dirt that might become mixed in with the lentils. It can also include shattered seed bits. Keep dried lentils in a jar or plastic container, preferably one that is airtight. Put the container in a pantry, cabinet, or another dry place. Dried lentils will last for about 10-12 months if stored properly. It can be difficult to tell when lentils have gone bad. If they appear hard and brittle or if they take longer to cook than normal, you may wish to toss them.

TL;DR in English:


Get plenty of rest. Drink lots of fluids. Try to avoid being around people for a couple of days. Use a humidifier. Purchase lozenges or gargle saltwater for a sore throat. See a doctor if you have preexisting health conditions that could make your infection worse.

It’s a good idea to store any travel documents, visas and passports in a special pouch or bag where you won’t misplace them. Be sure to bring refills of any medicines that you won’t be able to replace while you’re traveling, along with toiletries that are must-haves and will be hard to find when you get there. A journal and camera are important so you can keep memories from your trip for years to come. If you’re bringing a tablet, this can double as a journal, and potentially a camera. Otherwise consider a small, point-and-shoot camera. Don’t forget that extra memory card and battery.  We all have our trusty chap stick that we absolutely can’t live without. So if you’re worried you could run out and not be able to find an essential item on your trip, pack an extra to be safe.  Back up credit or debit cards and a photocopy of your passport and visa could come in handy if you happen to misplace these items or they are stolen. If your allergies occasionally flair up or you tend to get migraines, make sure you’re better safe than sorry and pack appropriate medications. As a bonus you can also use this to carefully consider what you’ll need for each activity or stop on your trip. You’ll be able to easily anticipate what each day will bring. You may even notice a few items to eliminate because they won't be of use.  If you aren’t entirely sure what will come in handy for each stop on your trip, research online reviews to find out what others say about the experience and what they wish they’d brought. For instance, find out if a boat trip you’re planning to take provides sunscreen and towels or if this is something you’ll need to pack.  Comfortable shoes may be the single most important item you pack. Typically this includes a pair that ties and has arch support, although it varies by person. Bring articles of clothing that aren’t too specific and will match with multiple items you packed. This way you won’t need to worry about what’s clean and what needs washing. Plan to bring three pairs of socks, underwear, and...

TL;DR in English: First pack items that you know you can’t live without. Print out your itinerary to reference once you arrive at your destination and to help you stay organized from day-to-day. Pack in threes. Consider the culture and dress code for where you’re traveling and pack accordingly. Find a reputable guidebook and foreign language phrasebook. Be prepared with appropriate containers and zip lock bags to make going through airport security a breeze. Bring books, music, your laptop and anything else to entertain you during the lengthy flight, layover, and potential delays.

To cook your own pumpkin seeds, you must start with raw seeds, and the best place to get these is a fresh pumpkin. Cut open your pumpkin by cutting off the top and quartering it, or by cutting an angled hole around the stem. Remove the seeds with a spoon. Transfer the seeds to a colander and rinse them under running water. Pick through with your fingers to remove the stringy bits and orange flesh. Toss the seeds to remove excess water. The easiest way to toast pumpkin seeds is to cook them in a frying pan. Place a dry 10-inch skillet over medium heat and let it preheat for two to three minutes. A dry frying pan means there is no oil or other liquid in it. Add the pumpkin seeds to the hot frying pan and spread them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Cook the seeds for four to five minutes.  As the seeds cook, toss them around in the pan or stir them with a wooden spoon every minute. The seeds are ready when they become golden brown and puff up. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the warm seeds to a bowl. Drizzle in the oil, add the spices, and toss to coat. You can season the seeds with a pinch of:  Salt Pepper Cinnamon Curry powder Herbs, such as rosemary or thyme

TL;DR in English: Collect and clean the seeds. Heat the frying pan. Toast the seeds. Season with oil and spices before serving.

Bootable antiviruses are anti-malware applications that can be installed and run on an external storage like a flash drive or a CD.  Assuming that the ransomware has already blocked your access to your own computer, you may need to download and install the bootable antivirus on a different PC.  Windows Defender Offline is a popular option on Windows for many reasons:  it is by the same manufacturer of the operating system, it comes preinstalled on all Windows 8/8.1/10 devices, and is easy to run. Connect the external media where you want to install the antivirus and click the downloaded file, the antivirus will start installing itself on your preferred external media.  Depending on the application you downloaded, you can install the bootable antivirus on a CD or a flash drive, but it’s advisable that you use the latter for easier access because not all PCs have disc drive (like netbooks). Download the antivirus onto a computer that does not have the virus. Once the antivirus has been successfully installed, safely unplug the flash drive from the USB port or remove the CD from the disc drive.

TL;DR in English: Download a bootable antivirus. Install the antivirus to a bootable media. Disconnect the media from the computer.

There are many that can be found on the Internet. Just do a search for “GIMP Brushes”. Both dedicated sites like GIMPbrush.com and artist sites such as DeviantArt feature GIMP brushes. GIMP brushes end in the extensions “.gbr”, “.gih”, or “.vbr”.   Simple brushes for other programs, such as Photoshop, also often work for GIMP by simply changing the file extension to “.gbr”. Note that recent versions of GIMP will actually convert Photoshop brushes automatically.   The more complex the brush, the less likely it is to be convertible to GIMP. Procedural brushes, which change shape depending on how they are used, generally can’t be converted. The proper place for this is in your personal “Brushes” folder, generally found at “C:\Documents and Settings\myusername\.gimp-2.6\brushes”. The exact filename will vary according to the version of GIMP you are using.  There is a general brushes folder that is not separated by user, but GIMP advises that you do not edit that folder in any way. This is a button near the bottom right of the brushes display that shows two arrows, each pointing at the beginning of the other. This should cause GIMP to detect and display your brushes.

TL;DR in English: Download a GIMP brush or brush pack. Place the brush in the brush search path. Click the “Refresh Brushes” button.

When your body gets infected with a virus, it works overtime to keep functioning while also fighting off your infection. Because of this, it's important to rest. Take a day or two off work or school and do low-energy activities like watching a movie or sleeping in bed. Resting will allow your body to focus all of its energy on overcoming the virus. Other low-energy activities you can do if you can’t sleep include:  Reading a book, catching up on your favorite TV show, listening to music in bed, and calling someone on the phone. Be aware that antibiotics are not effective against viral infections and that, in general, you need to simply rest and allow your body to combat the virus. Viral infections generally lead to dehydration (as a result of water lost through mucus production and fever). When you become dehydrated, your symptoms will get worse; it's a vicious cycle that you should try to break out of by drinking plenty of liquids. Drink water, tea, natural juice, and drinks with electrolytes to stay hydrated. Try to stay away from alcohol or caffeinated beverages, as these types of drinks can actually dehydrate you further. Viruses are contagious, which means that you can actually pass the virus to others, making them sick as well. Being around other people can also put you at risk of being exposed to other microorganisms like bacteria, which could make you more sick than you already are.  Take at least two days off of work or school to avoid getting other people sick. If you absolutely have to go into work or school, wear a mask to prevent others from becoming infected. The mask will prevent contagious particles from spreading through the air, especially if you are coughing or sneezing. Using a humidifier, particularly in your room at night as you try to fall asleep, can help to ease symptoms of congestion and cough. This will help you to sleep better, and a better quality sleep equates to improved healing capacity. Be sure that your humidifier is clean to prevent any air contamination (such as with molds)...

TL;DR in English:


Know how anxiety can feel. Watch for feelings of nervousness or powerlessness. Pay attention to the physical manifestations. Note how much it affects your life. Understand anxiety can appear in different ways.

Set up your two equations in standard format and look at the coefficients of each of your variables. You are looking for the circumstance where the numbers are the same but the signs are different.  Consider this example:  x−3y=5{\displaystyle x-3y=5} 2x+3y=19{\displaystyle 2x+3y=19}   By examination, you should see that the first equation contains the term −3y{\displaystyle -3y}, while the second equation contains the term 3y{\displaystyle 3y}. These two terms are opposites of each other. Working across the system from left to right, add each term of the first equation to the corresponding term of the second equation. It may be helpful simply to draw a long horizontal line across the bottom of the two equations and add downward, as you would with any ordinary addition problem. The above example works out as follows:  x−3y=5{\displaystyle x-3y=5} 2x+3y=19{\displaystyle 2x+3y=19} ------------------------- 3x=24{\displaystyle 3x=24} Because you were adding, and one of your terms contained opposites, then one of the variables should be eliminated from the problem. Rewrite what you have left as a single equation.  In the example above, the y{\displaystyle y} variable was eliminated. The remaining equation is 3x=24{\displaystyle 3x=24}. Because one of the variables gets eliminated in this method, as with the prior subtraction method, some textbooks will refer to this as the “elimination” method of solving a system of equations. What you have left should be a fairly simple, one-variable equation. Solve it by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient. In the example above, divide both sides of 3x=24{\displaystyle 3x=24} by 3. You will be left with the solution x=8{\displaystyle x=8}. Take that solution, in our example x=8, and substitute it in place of x{\displaystyle x} in either one of the original equations. Choose the first equation:   x−3y=5{\displaystyle x-3y=5}          (original equation)  8−3y=5{\displaystyle 8-3y=5}          (insert value of x) -3y={\displaystyle 3y=}-3{\displaystyle 3}      ...

TL;DR in English: Examine the equations in standard format. Add corresponding terms. Write out the result. Solve for the remaining variable. Solve the second variable. Check your two solutions. Write out your solution.

If your toe is fractured, it's going to hurt when you put your weight on it, or when pressed on. You will probably still be able to walk, but moving around might make the pain worse. The presence of pain does not necessarily mean that the toe is broken, but persistent pain can be an indication of a fracture or break.  If putting weight on your toe is excruciatingly painful, you might have a bad break.  In this case, you should see a doctor right away. Minor fractures aren't as painful, and may not need medical treatment. Tingling in addition to pain could indicate a fracture. See a doctor right away.

TL;DR in English: Assess your pain level.

Ramadan presents a great opportunity to fill your life with discipline and meaning. The best way to make the most out of Ramadan is to carry the lessons learned you've learn—e.g. moderation and discipline—into the year that follows. Maintain the healthy habits that you have built. Try not to slip into your old ways. You've been fasting for an entire month, and your body may not be used to heavy portions. Start moderately – this goes for fatty or fried foods, salt, and sugar. Your stomach may have shrunk with reduced consumption, and you don't want to bloat yourself. If you eat too much, take it as a lesson to slow down next time.  Consider whether it's worth resuming a habit of heavy consumption. If you've been able to cultivate a healthier lifestyle during Ramadhan, try to keep it that way. To avoid heartburn, line your stomach with a bland, alkaline foodstuff before starting into spicy, fried foods. You may have made positive changes in your life during Ramadan, but this does not mean that they're permanent. Nothing is permanent unless you continually, mindfully make it so. Find a way to hold yourself accountable: try keeping a journal of your personal and spiritual development, and consider finding a person to whom you can talk about your progress. Let go of the negative feelings that hold you back. Don`t hold grudges against people who have wronged you in the past. Do this for your own sake. If you keep those bad feelings inside, they might hurt you in the future – not only psychologically, but physically.

TL;DR in English: Make positive changes in your life. Ease back into a normal diet. Remember that change is a practice. Learn how to forgive and forget.

Self check-in lines are usually shorter than waiting in line for the airline counter staff to check you in, but leave yourself plenty of time for security or unexpected delays. Check with your airline for specific arrival recommendations. Remember that if you are checking a bag you will have to proceed to the airline counter to do so. The kiosks will be located near the airline’s check-in counter. An advantage of self check-in kiosks is that there are usually no long lines. Have your ID and flight information handy when you proceed to the kiosk. If you are flying internationally you will need your passport. The check-in kiosk will prompt you to enter your flight information or scan your ID. Sometimes you can scan the credit card you paid for the flight with to check in.  Your passport is required for international flights. The kiosk will prompt you to scan it. Bring a printed copy of the confirmation email you received if you booked online so you have all your flight details available. Remember to keep out your ID and boarding pass to present to security agents. Make sure that your carry-on luggage meets all airport and security guidelines. Read the TSA’s airport security guidelines prior to arriving at the airport to learn what you can and can’t bring through security.

TL;DR in English: Get to the airport the recommended 2-3 hours before your flight. Look for your airline’s self check-in kiosks and find an open one or wait in line. Follow the instructions on the screen of the kiosk to print your boarding pass. Look at your gate number and follow airport signs to security for your gate.

Pour 2 cups (500ml) of whole milk and 1 pinch of salt in a shallow baking dish. Stir the salt into the milk. Set two skinless fillets of fish, each weighing about 1/3 of a pound (150g) into the baking dish. The milk should come about halfway up the sides of the fish fillets. Depending on the size of your fish, you could use an 8x8 dish. Just ensure that it is heat proof and will fit inside of your microwave. Cover the baking dish with the fish and milk with plastic wrap. Take a knife and carefully pierce holes in the plastic wrap. Microwave the fish for 3 minutes on high heat. You could also use a silicone cover or microwaveable lid instead of the plastic wrap. Let the fish rest for 1 minute and microwave it for one more minute on high. Carefully pull back the plastic wrap so the steam doesn't burn you. Take a fork and rub it over the surface of the fish. If it's finished, it will flake easily. If not, microwave it for another 30 seconds and check again. You may want to use oven mitts when handling the baking dish. The dish can get very hot, even in the microwave.

TL;DR in English: Assemble your ingredients. Cover the pan and microwave the fish. Finish microwaving the fish and check to see if it's done.

You may feel like everything is going wrong or is about to go wrong, and you can do nothing to stop it. Alternatively, you may feel a sense of panic about the situations in your life.  Some people feel like they are always on edge or that everything in life can lead to something horrible.  Some people have panic attacks, which are a sudden onset of fear that can feel overwhelming. Though everyone feels anxious from time to time, anxiety that is persistent and pervasive is a bit more serious. If you have had major anxiety in your life for half a year or more, you should talk to your doctor about it. Anxiety doesn't just manifest in psychological ways; you'll also notice physical symptoms. For instance, you may shake, sweat, or breathe too quickly. You may also have a rapid heart beat. In addition, you could feel very tired, or you may not be able to focus on what you need to do. You could also have symptoms such as stomach problems, dizziness, headaches, or even chest pain. If you are just upset by anxiety every once and a while with few side effects, that likely means you don't have an anxiety disorder. However, if your anxiety affects your life everyday, whether by consuming your thoughts or stopping you from doing things, you may have an anxiety disorder. Depending on the type of disorder you have, your anxiety can look somewhat different. In addition, what triggers it can vary widely from person to person, or it may have no trigger at all.  Generalized anxiety disorder means you may feel excessive worry about your everyday life, even if nothing bad is happening at the moment. Panic disorder is when you suddenly have attacks of fear or anxiety that often last for just a few minutes but can last much longer. Social phobia is essentially a fear of being embarrassed. This embarrassment may keep you from doing certain things or going where you may want to go because you're afraid you'll do something embarrassing. Focused phobias are a fear of one particular thing or several things; in other words, when you are...

Learn the Law of Cosines. Look at your triangle and assign variable letters to its components. Plug your information into the equation and solve for side c. Use side length c to find the perimeter of the triangle.

What do you want your movie to be about? Do you want an exciting adventure? Do you want a fantasy story? Do you want a love story? You could also try action, mystery, or science fiction.  If you're not sure where to start, think about your favorite movies. You don't want to copy them, but you can make a similar movie. You can also mix and match ideas. You don't have to choose just one! But, try not to let it get too crazy. Save some ideas for the next movie. You can even make a movie based on one of your favorite books or stories! The main character is the person who leads the story. For instance, in the film Brave, Merida is the main character. She's the hero, and the story is all about what happens to her and what decisions she makes.  You can have more than one main character, such as Nemo and Marlin in Finding Nemo.  Basically, your main character will drive the story forward. Your movie is all about them and what they do. "Story" is also known as "plot." Basically, it's just what happens. Writing it down in a few short sentences can help keep you focused.  Think about what happens to your main character. Maybe you want them to go on a journey to find treasure. That's the end of the story, so your sentences could be: "Jessie finds a map in her attic with a mysterious place marked on it. She decides to find the place! Along the way, she meets Robbie, a very smart young boy in the neighborhood, and they follow the map and find treasure." You can also write it as "What if?" statement, such as "What if a girl finds a map in her attic that leads her to a buried treasure?" When first starting your story, your character is going through normal life. They need something to set them off on a journey, such as the map in the example. They need to be working towards something, which results in the high point of the story, called the climax. The climax is the most exhilarating part of the story. It's the point where a suspect is about to get caught in a mystery, or in our case, it could be the point where Jessie finds...

TL;DR in English: Brainstorm ideas by yourself or with friends. Decide who the main character is going to be. Write down your basic story in 2-3 sentences. Make sure your story has a high point. Break your story into scenes. Write a short description of each scene. Put your story in script format. Add the dialogue. Make a list of all the characters in your story. Finish out all your scenes to complete the story.

Most debates have more than one rebuttal, and you should always start with new arguments. They will be fresh on the judge’s mind, so you need to address them as soon as possible.  Make sure to save room in your time allowance to briefly review your other arguments. If you believe you have already won an argument or that the other team dropped one, you can briefly summarize those points at the end of the speech, reminding the judge that they go to you. Provide a one-sentence summary of what your opponent has said. Take it one argument at a time, starting with the one that is either easiest to defeat or the most crucial to your case. Say, “My opponent wants to allow one of the most common allergens into our nation’s schools, regardless of how many students are at risk.” Remind the judge what your argument is, positioning it as the clear better choice over your opponent. Choose your words carefully so that your argument appears to be the most reasonable choice. Say, “A safe educational environment is necessary for all students. We stopped sending students to schools that have asbestos; now we need to stop sending them to schools that have peanuts.” Present the breakdown with your argument framed as the best choice. Make the case seem simple to the judge, but say it in a way that makes it seem like picking the other side is preposterous.  For example, “The choice is simple: We can protect students from life-threatening allergy attacks, or we can allow a few students to eat peanut butter for lunch.” This argument makes it seem like critical health emergencies are being pitted against something as trivial as a sandwich. Link your argument back to the topic, and provide evidence to back it up. Tell the judge why this evidence proves that your argument is superior to your opponent’s argument. This should take several sentences and possibly several minutes, depending on how many arguments you plan to address in your rebuttal.  Never list off your reasons without offering an explanation. Your rebuttal depends on your...

TL;DR in English: Attack new arguments first. Remind the judge of your opponent’s argument. Restate your position. Break down your rebuttal into two choices for the judge.

Once you start the healing process, you might hesitate to bring a new hamster into your home. You can volunteer at a local animal shelter to help others in need. Helping animals in need might help you with the grief process. After you start to heal, you may feel up to bringing in a new hamster. Visit your local shelter or pet store for a new addition to your family. To fully move on, it might be best to get back to your day to day schedule. It might hurt for a while, but if you take one day at a time, you will find that your grief lessens. Everyone experience loss, know that you are not alone with your loss. This may be a very hard time for you, but things will get better. Remember these steps and take time to grieve your loss.

TL;DR in English: Volunteer at a local shelter. Look for a new friend. Get back to a regular routine. Remember it will be alright.

The Law of Cosines allows you to solve any triangle when you know two side lengths and measurement of the angle between them. It works on any triangle, and is a very useful formula. The Law of Cosines states that for any triangle with sides a, b, and c, with opposite angles A, B, and C:   c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab cos(C). The first side that you know should be labeled a, and the angle opposite it is A.  The second side that you know should be labeled b; the angle opposite it is B.  The angle that you know should be labeled C, and the third side, the one you need to solve in order to find the perimeter of the triangle, is side c. For example, imagine a triangle with side lengths 10 and 12, and an angle between them of 97°.  We will assign variables as follows: a = 10, b = 12, C = 97°. You will first need to find the squares of a and b, and add them together.  Then find the cosine of C using the cos function on your calculator, or an online cosine calculator. Multiply cos(C) by 2ab and subtract the product from the sum of a2 + b2.  The result is c2.  Find the square root of this value and you have the length of side c.  Using our example triangle:   c2 = 102 + 122 - 2 × 10 × 12 × cos(97).  c2 = 100 + 144 – (240 × -0.12187)  (Round the cosine to 5 decimal places.) c2 = 244 – (-29.25)  c2 = 244 + 29.25  (Carry the minus symbol through when cos(C) is negative!) c2 = 273.25 c = 16.53 Recall that Perimeter P = a + b + c, so all you need to do is add the length you just calculated for side c to the values you already had for a and b. In our example: 10 + 12 + 16.53 = 38.53, the perimeter of our triangle!

TL;DR in English:


Recognize if your guest of honor is mobile or requires assistance. Note if there are any risks involved. Consider transportation to and from the party. Remember the interests of the honored guest. Include your honored guest in the planning.

It’s best to choose one that’s close to the average penis size, which is about 4.7 to 6.3 inches (12 to 16 cm). Getting a dildo that’s too big will be very uncomfortable for you, and may cause bruising. After you know the size you want, choose the color you prefer, which may be the closest to your skin tone. Additionally, you can find dildos that have a foreskin, if that’s what you prefer. The harness will keep the dildo in place, plus it will allow you to easily use the dildo for sex. Once you have the harness on, tighten or loosen the straps as necessary to get a fit that’s comfortable to you. If you buy a dildo made for packing, it may come with a harness. As another alternative, you can look for a bundle containing both a dildo and a harness. You can wear any type of underwear you like. Additionally, you can wear your normal clothes over your harness and dildo. However, keep in mind that people may see your dildo under your clothes.  If you’re having a date night at home, you might enjoy showing off your erection through your pants. If you want to wear your dildo in public, try different positions for hiding your dildo to figure out which one is more comfortable for you. For example, your dildo may be less visible if you push it back between your legs or position it so it’s down against your thigh. These types of packers are really convenient for date nights. They allow you to easily go from flaccid bulge to erection so that you can have sex after a night out without changing your device. Each model is different, so read the product description to help you choose a device that does what you want. Some pack-and-play devices go from flaccid to hard if you tuck the dildo part of it between your legs when you’re not using it.

TL;DR in English: Choose a dildo that feels right to you. Put your dildo in a harness that you will wear. Wear your briefs or boxers over the harness and dildo. Consider purchasing a pack-and-play device for easier sex-play.

In other words, don’t apply insecticides when crops are in bloom!  Many pesticides and insecticides will have warning labels directing you not to use them while a crop is blooming. Since flowers attract honeybees, using an insecticide during a bloom can decimate honeybee populations in your area.   Always read and follow a pesticide’s label.  Choose products that have a “short residual” impact and are labeled “low hazard.” Alfalfa, sunflowers, and canola are especially attractive to honeybees, so take particular care when treating these crops. To help determine whether you should mow first, inspect the field to see if you can spot any foraging bees.  You can likely do so simply by walking along the edge of field and inspecting any flowering plants.  Note that some blooming plants do not necessarily produce colorful flowers. Pollen and nectar are only made available to bees by a most plants for a few hours of each day. Accordingly, make sure to scout a field during the time you plan to apply a chemical, particularly an insecticide. Late evening to early morning is usually idea. Shoot for somewhere between 8PM and 6AM.  If it’s expected to be cold the night after application, apply an insecticide in the beginning of this time frame. Colder weather may allow the insecticide to remain toxic for longer, so you want to allow more time before bees return to the fields. For corn, apply an insecticide anytime between late afternoon and midnight. Some pesticides are especially dangerous, not only to bees, but to other beneficial insects.  Neonicotinoids are able to “express” themselves throughout the chemical makeup of a plant itself, and will be expressed in nectar in pollen.  They will kill honeybees no matter when they are applied.  The pharmaceutical Bayer markets pesticides with these ingredients to both industrial farmers as well as consumers like you. Watch out for an ingredient called imidacloprid, as this is the most common neonicotinoid. Many of Bayer’s products include it.  Understand that by using these...

TL;DR in English: Do not use pesticides when bees are foraging. Scout a field before applying any chemicals. Time insecticide application carefully. Don’t use pesticides with neonicotinoids. Account for spray drift. Take care with fungicide application.

Fangs are the hallmark of a vampire. If you’re dressing up like a vampire and you want people to understand what you’re dressing up as immediately, fangs will do the trick. If you do wear fangs, find small ones that don't look tacky. Plastic fangs from the coin machine at the grocery store will just look silly.   Tooth caps are much easier to speak with than a full mouthpiece, and they look more natural. You can also  make fangs with acrylic, bits of straw, or even pieces of a fork. Apply lip stick after fitting your fangs to avoid a mess. You want your cape to be either dark colors or red if you would like to stand out a little bit. Capes are another very recognizable component of vampire style. You can make your own cape out of fabric or drape, or buy one at a local party shop. If you want to really take your costume to the next level you should try wearing elegant and slightly outdated clothing. For men, a ruffled tuxedo shirt, black pants, and black shoes are the perfect costume. You can even wear a cummerbund if it appeals to you. For women, an elegant top and a long flowing skirt will perfectly compliment your fangs and cape. Remember to wear dark colors. Using eye shadow to darken your eyes and white face paint to make your face look paler will add a huge boost to your vampire costume. You also can paint your nails purple or red. Male or female this will make you look even more haunting. The eyes of a vampire are used to hypnotize others, so it's good to give your eyes an extra little something. Sparkly or shiny contacts can be a nice touch for a vampire costume or look. Be as creative as you want with them, and explore different colors and options.  Gold colored contacts will give you the look of a Twilight vampire. If you wish to be a bit more extreme, try blood red, black, or even "cat eyes." Be as unusual and creative as you wish. Many vampires wear sunglasses during the day, so that the bright sunlight doesn't hurt their eyes.

TL;DR in English: Consider wearing fangs. Wear a cape. Put on elegant clothing. Consider make up. Wear contacts.

Use the remote or close the door manually. This will allow you to access the tracks and the rest of the moving parts on your door. Before lubricating your door, you'll want to make sure that it's not on. Disconnect your garage door from the power source after you close it. If the plug to your garage door opener is hard to reach or hard-wired, turn off the breaker that controls it in your circuit box. The tracks are what the garage door rollers ride on to open and close. You don't want to lubricate these, but you do want to make sure that they are completely cleaned out for your door to operate correctly. Wipe down the inside of both tracks and remove any dirt and debris.  Make sure that there is no debris left in your tracks that the rollers can get stuck on. Use an automotive brake cleaner to loosen and wash away grime. If you are having issues getting debris out of the tracks, you can use a vacuum with a hose extension to suck out the dirt and debris. This is a great solution to reach the higher portion of the tracks that you may be having issues reaching.

TL;DR in English: Close the garage door. Cut power to the door. Clean out the tracks with a damp rag. Vacuum out dirt and dust from your tracks.

Collect the seeds from the split pods and compost or discard the empty pods. This is exactly the same as the classic garam masala recipe. Add 6 cardamom pods, ½ cup (64 g) of coriander seeds, 1/4 cup (32 g) of cumin seeds, 2 tbsp (28 g) of cloves, 1 tbsp (14 g) of peppercorns, 4 dried bay leaves, 1 star anise and 1 tbsp (14 g) of fennel to the pan and roast them, without oil or butter, on medium heat. Continue dry roasting, stirring occasionally, until they give off a nice smell and begin to brown and crackle.  If the bay leaves begin to wilt, remove them from the heat sooner than the other spices. The star anise will add some extra sweetness to this spice blend. For a more traditional garam masala, roast one spice at a time, determining when each spice is done based on when it is brown and crackling. Combine all of the spices so they are ready to be transferred to the grinder. The nutmeg and mace don’t need to be dry roasted since they are more at risk of burning.

TL;DR in English: Crush the cardamom pods with the flat end of a knife until they split open. Heat all of the spices except for mace and nutmeg in a frying pan for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and add in ½ tbsp (14 g) of nutmeg and 3 strands of mace.

Does he or she get around easily, or only with help? Does he or she have trouble with steps, or walking through crowded rooms? Make sure your chosen venue is wheelchair-accessible (if necessary). Consider both the guest of honor and his or her friends. For example, if you are planning a party in January and live in Michigan, you must consider the possibility of snowy or bitingly cold weather. It may not be the best decision to bring a senior citizen out in nasty weather conditions as they are more susceptible to catching illnesses. Be prepared to change plans if the honoree is unwell on the date of the party. It would not be wise to have a 90-year-old attend a party if he or she was under the weather. Many (though not all) 90-year-olds no longer drive their own vehicles on a daily basis. Recognize if this will be an issue for your guest of honor. Offer to be a driver, or find someone who is willing to drive your honoree and his or her friends, if necessary. While you are planning a 90th birthday party, it does not have to be solely focused on the number 90. Instead, think of the current or past interests of your honoree and see if you can incorporate these into the party. This is a great opportunity to be creative!  If your birthday honoree loves the outdoors, consider booking a place in a local park and bringing food to cook on a grill. If your birthday honoree loves Italian food, book a private room at the nicest Italian restaurant in town, and decorate it before the party. If your honoree’s favorite and most memorable moment was her honeymoon in Paris, recreate a French restaurant in your kitchen and dining room and take her back to her younger days. Giving him or her a hand in the party planning can be a great topic of conversation and a fun way for them to stay involved in the party process.  Questions you may want to ask include:  Would you rather a small family gathering, or a large event with friends included? Would you rather a party in the afternoon or in the evening? Would you like a home-cooked...

that you can pull apart. A multi-strand embroidery floss is ideal for blanket stitching an applique onto a piece of fabric or a finished garment. You can find this type of thread in the embroidery section of a craft supply store. Choose embroidery floss in a color that will complement your applique.  For example, if you are sewing a red applique onto a piece of white fabric, then you might want to go with black embroidery floss to add contrast, or you could use red embroidery floss to match your applique. A heavyweight size 12 cotton thread will also work well for blanket stitching an applique. You do not have to separate out the strands if you choose this type of thread. with 3 strands of embroidery floss. Pull out 3 strands from the bundle of embroidery floss and cut them to about 18 in (46 cm). Hold the size 24 embroidery needle in your non-dominant hand so that the eye is facing up. Hold the freshly cut end of the thread in your dominant hand. Insert the ends into the eye and pull the thread until about 1/3 of it is through the eye. Then, tie a knot in the end of the longer side of the thread. If you are having trouble threading the needle, wet the ends of the thread with a bit of water or saliva. This will stiffen them and make it easier to push the ends through. Identify where you want the applique to go and pin it onto the front side of the fabric with the front side of the applique facing out. Insert the pins through the applique about 1 in (2.5 cm) from the edges so that they will not get in the way of your stitches.  You may only need 1 pin to hold a small applique in place while you sew, or you might need several to keep a large applique in place. You can buy an applique in a craft supply store, or make your own!

Test your dog by asking it to do something simple it already knows how to do, such take its favorite toy from you. Then click and give it a treat. If it succeeds, you're ready to use your clicker for training tasks. . Your dog must learn basic obedience commands, which include sit, stay, come, down, and heel. It should also know a command to return a dropped leash, such as "leash." Not only will this make your dog easier to train, but it’s also required for your dog to be used in public as a service dog.  To teach each skill, hold a treat over the dog’s nose, then give the command. When it correctly performs the command, click and give the dog the treat. You should also praise the dog. It’s best to teach your dog both verbal and hand commands to make it easy to signal it in public. As an alternative, you can send your dog to obedience school. Service dogs need to act well in public and behave non-aggressively toward other animals, including other barking dogs. If they can’t, they won’t be able to meet your needs. Use your clicker and treats to show your dog which behaviors you want. When you're first training the dog, you may need to leave an area if it's acting inappropriately, which is a normal part of the process.  The dog should not bark, bite, nip, lunge, or growl at people or other animals. The dog should not attempt to get food or attention from people while it’s working. The dog should not sniff people, items, or other animals while on duty. The dog should not get too close to other animals while working. The dog should react calmly to strong smells, loud or obnoxious sounds, weird lighting, or unknown locations. The dog should resist dropped food and be able to delay its restroom needs. The dog...

, if necessary. Over the course of your vacation, you might have enjoyed sleeping in or staying up late. This might make it difficult getting back into your school routine. To reset your sleep schedule you should:  Return to your routine several days to a week ahead of time. Open blinds to get natural light in the mornings. Skip late night meals. Limit your stimulants, like caffeine and energy drinks. It's likely you'll still be adjusting back to your school routine when break is over, and pre-packing school supplies and choosing your outfit the night before can save you time and stress. Grogginess in the morning can cause you to take more time than you need to do these simple tasks, so ready your stuff before to make your first morning back as easy as possible.  You might also want to pack your lunch the night before, if you take your lunch to school. You might benefit from making a back-to-school checklist. Write down all necessary supplies, like books, a calculator, pencils, notebooks, and so on. Sleep deprivation is terrible for your body, and can result in breakouts of acne, weight gain, difficulty concentrating, and irritability. Protect your health and make the first day back to school after break easier on yourself by getting the sleep you need, which for most teens is between 8½ and 9½ hours, but this might be different for you.

You should focus on analyzing the poem on a deeper level by looking at the word choice in the poem. There may be words you understand and words that are unfamiliar to you, as well as words that have multiple meanings. Look up any words that you do not recognize using a good dictionary. Consider how the meaning of the words fit within the rest of the poem. For example, in “I Hear America Singing” by Walt Whitman, you may notice the words “varied” and “blithe”. You may then look up these words and notice how they add meaning to a line in poem or how they add meaning to the poem overall. You should also look at the verbs used in the poem. Verbs imply action and they can often tell you what is going on in the poem on a deeper level. Underline the verbs in the poem and consider how they function in each line of the poem. For example, if you analyzing Langston Hughes’ poem “The Negro Speaks of Rivers”, you may notice that Hughes uses the verbs “known”, “bathed”, “built”,  “looked”, and “heard”. These verbs are a mix of active and passive verbs, where the speaker is doing something actively, like bathing or building, and then becomes more passive, such as looking or hearing. You should read the poem out loud and consider how certain lines sound. Is there a rhythm or a rhyme to the lines? Are certain words emphasized in the poem because of the way the lines are broken up or due to a rhyming pattern? You should consider how these elements relate to the poem’s meaning. You should also think about the effect created by the sound and rhythm in the poem.  You should try to identify the metrical pattern of the poem. Does every other line rhyme or every third line? Is there alliteration, where words start with the same letter in a row in the same line? For example, you may be analyzing the poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. You may notice that the poem follows a certain rhyming pattern, where the second and fourth lines of every stanza rhyme.  In contrast, you may look at “I Hear America...

TL;DR in English: Look up the meaning of words you do not understand. Consider the verbs used in the poem. Note the sound and rhythm of the poem. Look at how the poem is ordered or sectioned off. Pay attention to the poem’s tone. Identify the form of the poem.
