To quote a song worth kissing to, “If you think that is a kiss is all in the lips, come on, you’ve got it all wrong.”  The intensity of a kiss is determined by so much more than the kiss itself, and eye contact is where many kisses begin.  Intentionally pause right before impact for a moment of pure and unadulterated eye contact. A powerful moment of eye contact can actually be the breaking point of passion, pulling you in to one another for a kiss that is already unforgettable. Break eye contact by looking at their lips. Let them know what you’re thinking about with your eyes. This is harder than you think.  The better the kiss, the worse your memory.  That said, oxygen-deprivation is a far-too-common reason that kisses do not achieve their full potential.  Make breathing breaks sexy by allowing your partner to feel your breath, though only barely. Evince your nervous energy and excitement with flattering exhalations. It’s a deeply gratifying feeling to literally take someone’s breath away. If someone takes yours, make sure they know it. The impact made the first time your lips meet someone else’s can be completely and incredibly disorienting.  Allow gravity to fall away by letting your lips linger on your partner’s skin. Time and space will distort accordingly.  That said, don’t hold back.  Don’t feel as though you should hesitate and let your partner lead, unless this is what you want and have been clear about your desires. If you’re interested, act like it and initiate! Immerse yourself fully in every kiss, but especially the first few times your lips touch one another’s. Allow yourself the freedom and enjoyment of fully enjoy another person’s affection. When you pull away, your eyes will already be sharing exactly how you felt about the endeavor, and you’ll already have forgotten everything else about your day.

TL;DR in English: Make eye contact. Remember to breathe. Take your time.

It might sound counter-intuitive, but one of the easiest ways to come up with song ideas is to think of potential titles. Listen and look for particularly catchy or pithy phrases in TV shows, movies, books, and everyday conversation and write them down in a notebook or in your phone. You can also wait to title the song until after you've written the melody and lyrics.One approach isn't better than the other when it comes to titles, so do what feels the most natural for you.  It might help to make a list of questions suggested by your title. Then, your lyrics can answer all of those questions by the end of the song.  For example, the title “Heartbreak Hotel” asks the questions, “What is a Heartbreak Hotel?” “What happens there?” and “Where is it?” Elvis answers all of these questions in his lyrics. The hook in a song is the catchy phrase that worms its way into your brain and never leaves, and is frequently used as the title of the song. Play around with ideas and melodies until you hit on something that feels right. If you have a working list of title ideas already, experiment to see if any work particularly well as a hook by singing them to various melodies.  The hook of Lady Gaga’s song “Bad Romance” is “Rah rah ah-ah-ah!/Ro mah ro-mah-mah/Gaga oh-la-la!/Want your bad romance.”  The hook of Carly Rae Jepsen’s song “Call Me Maybe” is “Hey, I just met you and this is crazy/But here's my number, so call me maybe.”  The hook of Neil Diamond’s song “Sweet Caroline” is “Sweet Caroline.” Sometimes, your hook can serve as your entire chorus. Other times, it’s just a part of your chorus, usually at the beginning or end. Regardless, your chorus should generally be vaguer than your verses. Use your chorus as a way of summarizing the themes of your song without getting into specifics. For example, the chorus of “You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon introduces the vanity of her subject as the theme of the song, but doesn’t specifically explain why the subject is vain. that builds on the themes introduced by your chorus. Your...

TL;DR in English: Choose a title for your song. Come up with a hook for your song. Build a chorus around your hook. Write a verse Write 2 more verses that follow the same pattern as your first.

As unpleasant as it may seem to think about cold winter temperatures and snowy days in the middle of the summer, you need to start planning the garden early. This will give you enough time to have your plants in the ground before the first frost, and will prevent you from having to scramble to assemble your garden in September.  If you live in the northern hemisphere, start planning in July. If you live in the southern hemisphere, start your winter garden plans in January. If you live in the American Deep South, or other regions that stay warm well into winter, you may be able to wait until August to plan your garden. The first frost will kill most plants, but hardy winter crops will survive the first frost if they’re planted early enough. Time your plants to fully mature before that date by planting them 6-8 weeks in advance.  Speak to your local garden authorities (such as the 4H extension office or master gardener club) to help you time your winter garden precisely. You can also look up the approximate first frost date online. Input your ZIP code at: https://www.almanac.com/gardening/frostdates/states. Note that this site is specific to the U.S. Use a shovel and hoe to break up the soil and to loosen and remove the roots of summer crops. Use the blade of your spade to loosen the ground at least to a depth of 6–8 inches (15–20 cm). Reworking the soil will make it easier for your winter plants to extend their roots into the ground and to absorb necessary nutrients. If you’re not using a garden plot that you’ve planted summer plants in, you’ll need to plant your winter crops in a patch of well-draining soil. Select a location that is blocked from the wind and receives as much sun as possible. A south-facing slope works best for a winter garden.  If you don’t have access to an area of soil with good water drainage, you can install a raised bed. Avoid planting outdoor winter plants in individual containers or plastic planters. Plants’ roots can easily freeze in these containers, and this effectively kills the...

TL;DR in English: Start planning in mid-summer. Find out the average date of the first frost in your region. Rework your soil before you begin planting. Choose a garden location with good drainage. Add compost to your soil before planting.

This is one of the most basic tenets of customer service. Customers want to be treated with respect and to feel that they matter to you. Make sure you and your employees always interact with customers in a manner that is warm and friendly, but also polite and professional. Some simple ways to do this include:  Using courteous language (e.g. “please” and “thank you”) when speaking to customers. Learning and using your customers’ names. Greeting your customers with a smile and asking how they are doing. Customers tend to remember businesses that treat them like individuals. Look for ways that you can engage with customers on a personal level. For example, you might:  Call or email a customer to let them know that more of their favorite product is in stock. Send personalized birthday or holiday cards. Let your customers know you remember them by bringing up details from previous transactions or conversations (e.g., “How’s that aquarium filter you bought last month working out for you?” or “Is Mr. Bubbles doing any better since you started him on the new fish flakes?”). Your customers are more likely to return, and recommend your business to others, if they feel that you value them. Always thank customers for using your business, or even for just stopping by. You can also show your appreciation for returning customers by offering them special perks and rewards, such as:  “VIP” discounts or early access to special sales and new products. Frequent buyer rewards programs (e.g., a free item or a discount after a certain number of purchases). An occasional free item (for example, if a customer regularly buys cat food in your store, throw in a small bag of cat treats or a toy mouse once in a while).

TL;DR in English: Treat your customers the way you want to be treated. Offer a personal touch. Show your customers that you appreciate them.

This can be time before you will see your mother-in-law, or even during a family event. Take some time to be by yourself and reflect on how the relationship feels in the moment.  At a difficult family gathering, you can excuse yourself for a short walk around the block, or to make a phone call to a trusted friend. Before you see your mother-in-law, spend some time by yourself. You can use this time to reflect and relax so that you’ll have an easier time when you do see your mother-in-law. You may need to vent to a friend after spending time with your mother-in-law. Have someone on hand whom you can call if you need to. This step can seem drastic, but if your mother-in-law is truly abusive, moving may be the only viable option. Many couples do move based on proximity to in-laws. Living farther away can prevent meddling and unwanted visits.  If your mother-in-law’s abuse affects your children, moving away can help assure their safety from her. You can choose whether you and your spouse will be honest about the reason for moving or not. Sometimes, a spouse isn’t willing or able to admit that their mother is abusive. This can cause a rift between partners, and sometimes causes the relationship to end.  If your spouse can’t admit that their mother is abusive, offer to see a couple’s therapist together before deciding to end the marriage. Leaving a marriage is a big decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly. However, you should never tolerate abuse in order to preserve a marriage. If your mother-in-law has caused trauma for you or your children, you may want to see a therapist even after your mother-in-law is out of your life. Abuse can take years to recover from, even when the abuser is no longer a threat.  Even if your spouse doesn't see the abuse, you may still need to deal with its effects on you. Children can be affected by abuse even if they are not consciously aware of it. Make sure they have someone safe to talk to if they've been exposed to abusive behavior.

TL;DR in English: Take time for yourself. Move to be farther away from her. Leave the relationship if necessary. Seek therapy for recovery if you need to.

After your paint has dried, begin applying your wax. You can use a product like Annie Sloan’s Clear Soft Wax or Minwax Paste Finishing Wax, which will bond to the paint to create a lasting and durable finish. Use a wax brush or soft cloth to apply the wax. Work in small sections and rub the wax into the surface in circular motions. Once you’ve covered the entire piece, wait 10-15 minutes and apply another, final coat. Use a brand new cloth and work in the same manner as before, rubbing the wax into the piece in small sections. Use a separate rag to remove any excess wax as you go along. When you are finished, swipe a finger across the surface to make sure there are no streaks. If you see one, simply run a clean cloth over the area to remove the extra wax. It takes wax 21 days to cure completely, so be careful with your furniture until then. Once the wax dries, reinstall any hardware you removed before you painted. Be careful of the wax that is still curing when you put each item back on. This is also a good time to clean older hardware or to replace the previous pieces with brand new handles, knobs, or decorative items.

As science and math are vital to a career in medicine, encourage your child to develop a curiosity about the subjects. You can find a lot of moments in daily life related to science and math.  Science and math are found virtually everywhere, so point out examples whenever possible. If your child loves sports, for example, talk about the anatomy of an athlete. What muscles and bones does a hockey player need to develop? Talk about math in terms of everyday things like cooking. You can try doubling a cookie recipe, for example, and have your child figure out how to convert the measurements. Many children may protest doing science and math homework because it's "too hard." Rather than trying to argue with this, acknowledge that the subjects are hard. Explain to your child that challenges can be fun and exciting.  Tell your child a hard problem is not impossible. Say something like, "Yes, these problems are hard, but think of how exciting it will be to really master this subject. Don't you want to understand how chemistry works?" You should also let your child know being wrong is not a bad thing. Many children develop anxiety over answering a question wrong. To this, say something like, "A lot of scientists came up with wrong answers to questions for years. Part of the scientific process is being wrong sometimes." A wrong answer should be seen as a learning opportunity rather than a failure. There are probably many places in your community where your child could learn about math and science. Make a point of visiting these places with your child over the summer and on the weekends.  Take your child to a local museum, aquarium, planetarium, zoo, and science center. Your child will have fun, while being exposed to math and science as subjects. Programs like 4-H, the Girl Scouts, and Boys and Girls Club may sometimes have community events. Some of these events may be aimed at teaching children about math and science. Try taking your child to one of these events. You may not have loved math and science yourself as a...

TL;DR in English: Look for science and math in everyday life. Encourage your child to see challenges as positive. Take advantage of informal learning opportunities. Avoid negative statements about math and science. Allow your child to develop his or her own interests.

Ultimately, a majority of your co-workers will need to vote to establish a union. By talking to your co-workers, you can gauge whether your fellow employees are likely to support a union election. Talking is also the best way to find out what changes your co-workers would like to see, and for you to share your ideas about how unionization can effectuate those changes.  Keep your discussions quiet and private. Although the National Labor Relations Act guarantees the right to discuss union membership during non- work time in non work areas (like an employee lounge), keeping these discussions discreet helps avoid conflict between the management and pro-union employees. Your co-workers must find you to be trustworthy and competent, so study up on union issues, like federal and state labor law, the benefits of unions, and common employer tactics used to discourage organization. When a co-worker has a question or challenges your position, you should ready to answer quickly and confidently. To successfully organize, you must inspire and persuade you peers to follow your leadership. There may already be a union you can join that represents your industry. These organizations can guide you through the process of organizing a union at your workplace. Most U.S. labor organizations are organized under the American Federation of Labor - Congress of Industrial Organizations or the Change to Win Federation. There are also independent unions that are not affiliated with either umbrella organization, such as the International Longshore & Warehouse Union, United Electrical Workers, and Industrial Workers of the World. You can also locate local unions by searching online or in the phone book under "Labor Organizations." Keep in mind that the name of the union doesn't matter; meat packers commonly belong to the United Steel Workers. Contact your local unions to find out what industries they represent. If you and your co-workers decide that you would like to organize under an existing union, contact a union organizer at a...

Play through the game and make sure that all weapons in a specific class have been unlocked and are available to use.  Weapons can be unlocked only when your character reaches a certain level (such as the R870 MCS, which can be used when your character reaches level 4). Complete missions and battle out on multiplayer matches to keep gaining experience points (XP) to raise your character’s level a lot quicker. Diamond Camo becomes instantly available once you unlock Gold. Gold is the last camouflage that will be unlocked once you complete all the challenges for each weapon. To unlock the Gold camo for a certain class, you need to:  Unlock low-level camos for each weapon first, from DEVGRU to Kryptek Typhon. To unlock these camos, you only need to acquire a specific number of kill streaks (by killing a certain number of enemies using the specific weapon you want to unlock the camos). Unlock the intermediate-level camos, from Carbon Fiber up to Skulls. To unlock these camos, you need to achieve medals. Medals are given to you when you perform special moves, such as the Revenge medal, which is awarded to you when you kill an enemy who killed you first. Note that each weapon has its own specific required kill streaks and medals. But the rules for unlocking camos for each weapons and class are all the same.

You might see yourself as a talented counselor or friendly shoulder to cry on. However, you may not be the best mediator for every conflict resolution. Make sure you have a close, but impartial relationship with both parties.  Family members make the best mediators for sibling disputes. Parents, older siblings, or neighborhood friends are good people to turn to for conflict resolution. Workplace disputes are a little more sensitive because there are laws and policies in place to control conflicts. Supervisors or human resource personnel are usually the appropriate parties to resolve conflicts. Check with your company handbook before acting as a formal or informal mediator. Tell the two parties you want to help them work through their differences. Find a time they can both get together to discuss their conflict. They won’t be able to openly discuss their feelings until they are in a room together with that intention. They may find a time themselves, or you may have to make suggestions.  This will be easy if it is, for example, a workplace dispute. A supervisor can tell them that their work is suffering and they are required to discuss their conflict. Getting two fighting friends in the same room to settle a conflict may be more tricky. The most straightforward way is to tell each of them you want to help them talk through their problems with each other. If it is too sensitive an issue, you might need to invite them to the same get together without saying anything about the other person. This is a risky move, however. You don’t need to control the entire conversation, as this may hinder organic conflict resolution. However, you might consider saying a few opening words to get them started. After all, they should know that their conflict is obvious to an impartial observer, and therefore potentially harmful. This implicit fact may bring home the reality of their conflict.  For example, you may need to explain more to children. Try telling each of them why their conflict is unhealthy and harmful. Remind them how...

Read the concrete packaging to find out how to mix it. The ratio is usually about 1 part water to 3 parts concrete. Add the water and concrete to a mixing container, then use a wooden stirrer or electric paddle mixer to combine them into a thick liquid. The mixing ratio may vary depending on what product you own, so check the manufacturer’s recommendations to get the concrete to the proper consistency. If you got a bag of concrete and mixed it normally, you should use a concrete bonding adhesive to ensure the layers of concrete stick to one another. The adhesive is a liquid that comes in a plastic jug and you pour it directly into the concrete mixture. Check the manufacturer’s instructions to add the product at the recommended ratio.  You can get the additive online or at most home improvement stores. If you are using a concrete patching product, you most likely do not need the adhesive. It is often included as part of the patching mix. Check the product’s label to make sure. Pour concrete onto the existing slab until it is around where you want the final level to be. Make sure you have enough concrete to fill the entire area to the depth you desire. Add all of the concrete right away so none of the mixture has a chance to dry out.  You do not need to wait for the scratch coat layer to dry completely. It will have dried enough while you mixed this batch of concrete. You can try to fill in a slab with multiple pours of concrete, but this usually isn’t advisable. You won’t get a single, uniform slab, which can lead to bonding issues in the layers. The concrete needs to be leveled out before it solidifies. You can use a trowel to smooth over small areas or a screed board and bull float for large areas. Work back and forth, passing over a little more of the rough concrete each time. Make multiple passes over the entire surface to ensure it is smooth.  On hot days, the concrete can dry out very quickly, so don’t waste any time after pouring it. Make sure there are no marks left in the concrete when you are done...

TL;DR in English: Mix a batch of concrete according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Add a bonding adhesive if you are using regular concrete. Apply the new concrete over the primer. Use a trowel to smooth out the concrete. Protect your work by spraying the concrete with a curing compound.

A 20 lb. (9 kg) ham can take 7 hours to cook, while a 10 lb. (4.5 kg) ham takes between 3 and 4 hours.   Cook 10 to 14 lb. (4.5 to 6.4 kg) hams for 22 to 25 minutes per lb. (0.45 kg). Cook a larger ham for 18 to 22 minutes per lb. Always check the core temperature with a meat thermometer. Choose a shallow rack with a sturdy pan to catch drippings. Test the ham halfway through the cooking time. When a meat thermometer reaches 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54 degrees Celsius) in the center, you can start to baste or glaze the roast ham. Brush your glaze mix onto the surface of the ham. If you are basting the ham with its own juices, use a baster. Cover the surface of the ham with pineapple slices for extra flavor. Baste or glaze the ham every half an hour. Cover it with aluminum foil if the surface appears too brown or dry. Place it on a carving board to rest for 15 minutes and cover it with aluminum foil.

TL;DR in English: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (149 degrees Celsius). Prepare your ham for cooking early on in the day, when you want to serve it. Place the ham roast in a roasting rack. Put the ham in the oven. Remove the ham from the oven for a few minutes. Place the ham back in the oven. Remove the ham when the central internal temperature reaches 150 degrees Fahrenheit (66 degrees Celsius).

If the cut is actively bleeding, the first step is to stop that bleeding.  Do this by applying pressure to the area, using a clean cloth or medical gauze.  Do not remove the cloth until the bleeding has stopped completely.  Facial injuries often bleed worse than other parts of the body, so the injury may look worse than it is.  Crying makes bleeding worse, so try to remain calm and stop crying. If the cut is very deep, particularly if it is a puncture wound, you may need to go to the hospital immediately.  Large gaping wounds or deep wounds will likely need stitches and professional cleaning.  More superficial wounds can be cared for at home. Before you touch the open wound in any way, be sure to clean your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water.  Wash both hands, between all of your fingers, and your wrists thoroughly, rinse with hot water, and dry with a clean towel. Hand-washing is a very important method of avoiding the chance of any infection in the wound. Clean the wound very gently with water and soap.  Be sure to rinse the soap out of the wound completely with water.  Be sure to remove any visible debris or dirt from the wounded area.  Use cool or slightly warm water.  Water that is too hot may cause the wound to start bleeding again.   Be patient and slow with this step.  If there is debris in the wound, try using a soft cloth to aid in removing it. If necessary, sterilize tweezers with rubbing alcohol and use them to aid in removing pieces of debris from the wound.   Avoid using hydrogen peroxide or iodine, which can irritate or damage tissue. An antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin or Polysporin is the best option, but if none is available, simple petroleum jelly such as Vaseline can help.  Expensive creams or treatments that claim to reduce scarring are generally not as helpful as they claim to be. Place a sterile bandage over the wounded area.  This may be a bit cumbersome on your face, but it is important to keep the area free from potential infections.  Place a bandage over the cut and use...

TL;DR in English: Stop any bleeding. Assess the injury. Wash your hands. Wash out the cut completely. Apply treatment to the wound. Bandage the wound. Use butterfly tape for wide wounds. Reduce any swelling.

Whether you decide on specializing in close-up magic or grandiose stage illusions, to perform and execute your trick well you will need to be in peak physical condition. Operating props, wrestling out of chains, or making a quick change behind a satin curtain are all physically strenuous. Your audience seeing you out of breath could leave them thinking you're less than magical.  Renowned magician and illusionist, Harry Houdini, was reportedly in such good shape and of such remarkable toughness that he would claim he could withstand any punch to the stomach.  Consider an aerobic exercise, like cycling, jogging, or swimming. The backstage behind a performance can be quite hectic, and some aerobic fortitude will help you pull off your act. Some strength training, like moderate weight lifting, can be an asset as well. Some of your equipment is bound to be heavy, and if it's an important part of your illusion, you might not want anyone else setting it up. A little muscle would help, in such a case. When you become a famous illusionist, people will constantly try to catch you off guard and reveal you to be an ordinary man. Exceptional reflexes will not only help protect your reputation, but could also save your life. Some magic, especially the more daring escapology tricks, can be very dangerous.

If you are trying to keep the snails in your traps alive, you should remove them from the bottom of the wooden trap by hand. Hold the snails by the shell and gently pull them off the wooden trap so you do not come in contact with the slimy mucus on the snail. This will also ensure you are move the snails to a different area safely. Keep in mind if you use a beer trap, the snails will likely all be dead in the trap due to drowning. You may not want to use this trap if you would like to catch snails live. Garden snails can make great pets for kids, as they are quiet, low-maintenance, and they are not expensive to feed or maintain. You will need a glass or plastic enclosure that has deep walls and a lid to keep your pet snail. The snail may retract into its shell when you pick it up but if you place it in an enclosure that contains substrate and moss, it will often come out of its shell on its own. If you have any dead snails in your trap, you should dispose of them so the trap stays clean. You may scrape any dead snails off of your wooden trap with a shovel or a garden tool or crush any live snails with your foot. You should then set the trap back up so it can catch more snails. If you are using a trap made with yeast, you should fish out the snails and crush them. You should then replace the beer or yeast solution in the trap and set them up again so you can catch more snails.

TL;DR in English: Remove the snails from the trap. Keep live snails in an enclosure. Dispose of any dead snails.

If it's a square, that's square. If it's rectangular or oval, decide if it's going to be vertical "portrait" orientation or horizontal "landscape" orientation. Do the notan drawings very small, just to place the light, dark and medium areas on the design. They can range from a large postage stamp to a business card size - the idea is to see it as if it was at a distance or a thumbnail. Do lots of them till you find the best design without worrying about the details. It can be quite detailed and shaded carefully or just loose to show you where the shadows and highlights are. This partly depends on how detailed and realist you want the painting with. A looser painting style can have a sketchier value sketch, but should still have one with more than "white middle and black" so that you can tell where there are at least five values - white accents, light value, medium, dark, black accents. Some painters like to not use pure black and white but just use "light, light middle, middle value, middle dark, dark" for the five values. It depends on the effect you want. If you don't like the sketch keep trying different versions of it till you get one you like.  In the sketch, make sure the light falling on the person, objects or landscape elements is all going in the same direction. Pay attention to where the shadows go. They should all go the same direction and are shorter when the sun or lamp is high, longer if it's later or earlier in the day and the sun is low (or lamp is low). Directional lighting will make all the objects look more three dimensional. Draw the shapes of the shadows carefully and most of your subjects will look three dimensional at that point. This makes for good Impressionism or realism. If you want to do an abstract, do the pencil sketch loosely and work out where you want particular effects like spattering or strong texture strokes. Or skip the sketch stage on paper and proceed to the next. Sketch the subject on the canvas board, canvas paper or canvas pad. Use charcoal or your violet pastel...

TL;DR in English: Sketch a "notan" of the painting in your sketchbook or on scrap paper with a gray pen and a black one, or a pencil and a pen using the pencil as the gray. Using charcoal or the pencil, make a value drawing in your sketchbook.

If you have any questions regarding whether the person you've hired will be classified as an independent contractor or an employee, the IRS will make a determination for you.  Simply calling the person an independent contractor may not be enough. The IRS evaluates facts in 3 general categories – behavioral control, financial control, and type of relationship – to determine whether someone is an independent contractor. Either you or the contractor can file Form SS-8 at any time. You set out facts about the relationship on the form, then the IRS evaluates those facts and decides whether the person is an independent contractor or employee. If you intend to file Form SS-8, do so as soon as possible. It can take as long as 6 months for the IRS to evaluate the form and make a determination. Form W-9 is used to get the independent contractor's full legal name and tax identification number. The contractor's tax identification number may be their Social Security number or an employer identification number (EIN). When the contractor gives their W-9 back to you, keep it in your files for at least 4 years. You may need to show it to the IRS if any questions arise with your taxes. When you pay an independent contractor, you must submit an informational return to the IRS stating how much you paid them. Actually paying taxes on that income is the contractor's responsibility. You may also complete a Form 1099 and send it to the employee, although you aren't required to do so. Particularly if you are a small business, you may be required to file informational reports with your state's labor and tax departments if you hire independent contractors.   To find out what reports are required, check with your state's tax office or your state's employment agency. States may have different rules than the IRS regarding whether a worker is classified as an independent contractor or an employee for tax or other purposes. Find out at your state's labor department, or talk to a local employment attorney. In some states, you must pay for...

TL;DR in English: Use Form SS-8 to get a formal determination from the IRS. Have the contractor fill out Form W-9. File Form 1099-MISC if you pay the contractor more than $600. File any required reports with your state. Check your state's law regarding workers' compensation coverage.

It's okay and healthy to cry. You should not always hold your tears back. If possible, give yourself a chance to cry once a week. Watch a sad movie or TV show in the privacy of your own home. Allow yourself to experience feelings of sadness.  Tears provide a powerful and necessary emotional release. They also remove certain toxins from the body, which can help bolster the immune system. Allowing yourself to occasionally cry can be good for your physical and emotional well-being.  Crying on occasion can actually make you stronger. It boosts feelings of resiliency and strengthens the capacity for empathy. This is possibly due to the fact that crying is a form of stress management. People usually feel better after a good, cathartic cry. Behavior modification therapy is a form of therapy where you recognize negative behavioral patterns and work on consciously changing your behavior. If you cry frequently, behavior modification therapy can help you find better ways to cope with emotional distress. Some people cry when they are angry, not only when they are sad.  You can ask your regular doctor for a referral to a therapist who practices behavioral modification. If you're a student, you may be entitled to free counseling through your college or university. Oftentimes, frequent crying is due to an inability to express emotional needs to those around you. Talk to your loved ones about when and why you need emotional support. Do not be ashamed to ask someone to take time to listen to you vent, hold your hand, and provide emotional comfort.

TL;DR in English: Learn about the benefits of crying on occasion. Seek behavioral modification therapy. Be upfront about your emotional needs.

Technical writers usually have a college degree. Having a relevant degree or training in the field can multiply your chances of landing technical writing jobs. If you are looking to start school, explore degrees in writing and communication.  Technical writing degrees normally give you the option of technical, medical, and scientific options for your degree. You need to select the option that interests you the most. You can go for a double major in writing and another field that you are interested in, such as biology, computer science, graphic design, pre-law, engineering, or mechanics. If you already have a degree, keep on updating your credentials through an associate degree or certification in technical writing. Taking classes will help you get practice with technical writing and learn tips of the trade. Adding credentials will give you a competitive edge and can mean more job opportunities.   You can also get an associate degree or certificate in communications, English, or journalism. These three fields also train you in writing and some offer a concentration in technical writing. Getting an associate degree is longer than gaining a certificate. A certificate also offers more concentrated classes on a topic, whereas an associate degree will give you more options in the types of classes you can take.  A lot of technical writing certificate programs are available online. Taking an online class is something you can do in your free time to build your knowledge and skills. Technical writers don’t just write; they also prepare documents with diagrams, images, and videos. Making a document with different media requires knowledge of a variety of software programs, like Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe FrameMaker, Madcap Flare, Adobe Creative Suite, Lotus Notes and Microsoft Visio. Take some time to research these programs and practice using them. Being proficient with these programs is usually a prerequisite when you are applying for a technical writing job.  If you don’t already have access to these programs,...

Talk with your spouse. Share authority. Build trust. Share domestic duties. Pay attention to your spouse's feelings.

You may no longer be interested in the previous version of a popular game, those building block sets meant for “little” kids, or last year’s must-have Christmas toy that’s still in the box.  But odds are someone else is.  With an adult’s assistance, set up an account on one of the many auction or direct-seller sites.  You probably won’t break the bank, but you may be surprised by how much people are willing to pay for good-condition items. If you have older relatives or people without the time or computer skills to sell their stuff online, you can also offer to do it for them — for  a reasonable cut of the profits. Make sure you can always deliver on what you sell.  Don’t exaggerate the quality or condition of your items, and ship them out properly and on time.  Otherwise your career in sales likely won’t last long. People love to be able to scour product reviews before buying online, and companies love receiving favorable reviews.  Done smartly, you can earn some extra cash legitimately by writing reviews.  There are plenty of product review schemes and scams to watch out for, however.  A large number of websites offer to pay for product reviews, and many seem to come and go out of business quickly.  You can opt to work through affiliate programs run by large companies like Amazon (https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/), which may offer you some more confidence in its legitimacy and stability. A better avenue may be to review products for independent, ad-supported sites that compensate you for your work.  For instance, there are sites that review children’s books that pay a small amount for accepted reviews. This is another area where there is legitimate money available, but also a lot of scams and fraudulent sites.  Consult with a knowledgeable adult before getting involved in any pay-for-survey schemes.  Like most things in life, if it seems too easy to make money doing something, the odds are good that there is something wrong with the scheme. Research legitimate survey sites that will pay you a small...

TL;DR in English: Sell your old toys, games, and other items online. Review products online. Complete online surveys. Pass on deals too good to be true.

Do your best to stay away from their favorite restaurants and stores, as well as their workplace. If you don't cross their path, they'll be easier to ignore. Take this opportunity to try out new places and experiences. You may not be able to avoid them if you work or go to school together. In that case, switch up your routine so you won't cross paths as often. For example, you might take a different hallway to get to class or go to your locker during a different passing period. Averting your eyes sends the message that you don't want to talk. It can also give them the impression that you don't see them. Additionally, make yourself look unapproachable by keeping your chin down and looking away from them. Cross your arms across your body to shut them out.  If you're sitting down, cross your legs. Keep your eyes forward and focus on where you're going. If they're right in front of you, look down or away. You might pretend to check your phone. If necessary, you can frown or look angry. This can show them you're not in the mood to talk. Check your phone and act like you've just seen an important message, or pull out your homework or client file to review it one last time. Listening to music while walking the halls or working will help you minimize your interactions with everyone, including the person you're ignoring. If someone else you know is close by, start a conversation with them. If you appear to be busy with something else, you'll have a reason to ignore them.  If you find music distracting at work, wear your earbuds but don't play music. They'll never know you're just wearing the earbuds to ignore them. While walking the halls at school, pretend to use your phone or check over your homework. If you're in class, take notes or write in your planner. At work, focus on your job tasks, and stay out of the break room as much as you can. When you bump into them, like at a restaurant or store, put some distance between you. Cross the room, move to another location, or leave, depending on what's most comfortable...

TL;DR in English: Avoid places they're likely to visit if you can. Avoid eye contact and use closed body language when you see them. Act busy or listen to music to avoid an interaction. Walk away from them if you can. Treat them with formality if they try to talk to you. Switch seats or find a new workspace if you sit near them. Eat lunch somewhere different if you normally eat together. Minimize conversations with them at events hosted by mutual friends or family. Surround yourself with supportive friends while at public events.

Even if you need to stay in one city for work, there may be many schools that offer part-time MBA programs in your area. An MBA from a prestigious school may give you more opportunities, but you should carefully consider factors such as cost, distance, and time to complete the program.  Go online to the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). They maintain a list of accredited MBA programs. This list includes schools that offer part-time MBA programs and lists schools that offer part-time online programs. Reach out to the schools you’re interested in. Most schools have welcoming admissions departments that provide information sessions and one-on-one tours. Tell them you’re interested in part-time MBA programs and ask whether classes in the part-time program are scheduled in the evenings or on weekends, or both.  Talk to other students and alumni from the part-time MBA programs you’re interested in. Oftentimes, students and alumni will give you the most unbiased information about the school. This is a good opportunity to ask about how much time students spend in class and studying and what opportunities opened up for alumni after they received their MBA. Many business schools have both in-person programs and online programs. Research both types of programs and decide which one will work best for you.  Part-time online MBA programs are usually a bit cheaper and offer more flexibility. You’ll be able to watch recorded lectures from home on your own schedule instead of having to show up to class at a specific time. However, since you’ll rarely be on campus you may miss out on some of the resources the business school has to offer. Part-time in-person MBA programs require you to attend classes on a regular schedule. The classes are held in the evenings and/or on weekends to accommodate working students. Since you’ll be on campus often, you’ll have the opportunity to network with your professors and other students. However, taking the traditional path means you’ll have to spend more time away...

TL;DR in English: Research part-time MBA programs. Decide if you want to do a traditional program or an online program. Seek out financial aid. Take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Apply to schools.

Appliqué is a method of design where one pattern is sewn top of another. You can buy applique templates from a craft store if you don't want to design your own. You can also find patterns in quilting books. If you use a quilt pattern, make sure you resize it when copying so that it fits your greeting card.   To make a paper appliqué card, you will need the following:  One 4.25 by 5.5 inches (10.8 cm × 14.0 cm) card blank Colored cardstock Decorative paper A fine-tip black marker Glue Scissors A ruler A pencil and eraser What kind of card are you making? If you're making a birthday card, you might consider making a card with a cake, or party hats. Try to customize the card to reflect the interests of who you are giving it to.   Make a space scene with astronauts and planets, or make a card with cars and a racetrack. Make a card with snowmen for Christmas, turkeys for Thanksgiving, or clovers for St. Patrick's Day.  Your only limit is your imagination. Pick three different patterns for your card. You'll need a pattern for the appliqué pieces, a pattern for the background, and a pattern for the card mat.  Select a variety of solid colors and patterns. Depending on the complexity of your design, you may want to choose more than three types of decorative paper.  Whatever you decide to go with, make sure all the colors and patterns match. For example, if you're making an underwater scene, pick a variety of blues for your solid colors. Choose patterns that mimic waves or fish scales. If you're following a template, trace the shapes on the back of the your decorative paper. If you're drawing your own shapes, draw them lightly in pencil on the back of the decorative paper. Once you're happy with the designs, cut out the shapes. Since you're working with paper, you won't actually be sewing anything. To give it an authentic appliqué look, take your fine-tip marker and add stitch marks around the border of the shapes. Choose a solid color for your card mat and cut it a little smaller than your card blank. It should...

TL;DR in English: Gather your supplies. Think of a design for your card. Choose your patterns. Cut out your shapes. Add the stitch marks. Make the card mat and the background. Arrange your scene.

Actual growing time for seeds will depend on what plants you’ve decided to grow. Planning around the last frost date for your area will help you determine when to start germinating the seeds.  Read the packaging on the seeds you are planting to see if additional steps, such as soaking or chilling, need to be taken before they are planted. Check the Old Farmer’s Almanac for growing dates specific for your region. Using a cell tray allows the seeds to grow without interfering with one another. Opt for cell trays that have drainage holes at the bottom if you can. They can be purchased at any gardening store. If your cell trays do not have drainage holes at the bottom, use a knife to poke holes in the bottom of each cell. This biodegradable option has perfect sized cells for planting and you may already have one in your home. After you’ve used all the eggs in a carton, poke a few holes at the bottom of each cell so the soil has good drainage.

TL;DR in English: Plan to start planting seeds between 6-12 weeks before the last frost date. Purchase a cell tray with drainage holes for an easy option. Make a seed tray out of a cardboard egg carton for a free alternative.

Ask about their feelings, and share yours with as well. Be honest and open about your joys and fears. Listen to what they have to say, and ask follow-up questions when they are telling you something.  Make time for conversations even on busy days. Get into a routine where you regularly check in. You may always eat dinner together, for example. When your spouse wants to talk, make time for them. If you don't have time, suggest a later opportunity. Consult your partner about matters that affect you both. Show your partner that their opinion matters to you. If you disagree, do not dismiss the disagreement. Listen to your partner's logic, ask questions, and change your mind if they are right. The Prophet sought the advice of his wife 'Hazrat Ayesha, and followed her good counsel. Avoid telling lies. If you're not truthful with your spouse, they will never trust you. You will also become suspicious if you lie.  If you find yourself becoming secretive, ask yourself what you are afraid of. Try to work through that issue. For instance, if you hide purchases because your spouse gets angry when you spend money, talk to your spouse about this problem. Work out a budget you can both agree on, and stick to it. Do not depend on your spouse to do all the cooking, cleaning, and planning. Be like the Prophet and engage in household tasks.  'Hazrat Ayesha was asked about the manners of the Prophet in his home, and she replied: "He would be helping in doing the family duties and when he hears the call of prayer he goes out." 'Hazrat Ayesha reported that the Prophet used to mend his shoes, sew his clothes and work in his household, "just as one of you works in his own house." She also reported that he was a man among men who used to "patch his clothes, milk his goats and engage himself in work." How your spouse is feeling should always matter to you. Share in your spouse's joys, and comfort them when they are unhappy. One report says that the wife of the Prophet was on a journey with him. She was late so the Prophet received her...

Decide upon a meat, such as chicken, pork or beef. Defrost the meat in a refrigerator overnight. Cube the meat. Pour a cup of flour into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Heat your skillet or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Pour the meat into the skillet. Remove the meat from the skillet and place it in a bowl.

In the late summer, when it's time to harvest the hops, examine the cones on the bines to see if they are mature. Hop cones are ripe when they're dry, papery, aromatic, springy, and filled with yellow lupulin powder. Test one by cracking it open to see if it is ripe.  Hop cones that are heavy and green aren't ready yet. Be patient; your hops might not ripen until early fall. First year plants may not yield a lot; they hit their peak during the second year.  Harvesting times may vary by regional climate. Until you're ready to use them, hops should be stored in airtight food storage bags in the refrigerator. If you won't be using them for awhile, you can freeze them. Properly stored hops will stay fresh for about a year.

TL;DR in English: Examine the cones for ripeness in late summer. Store the hops in zip close baggies in your fridge.

While you may not be able to allow this person to exit your life (say, if it’s a co-worker or family member), you can limit your contact. Make yourself less available to this person (via text, phone, email and social media) and communicate that you would rather not spend all your time “plugged in.”  Say “I have just a few minutes before I need to go”, and politely disengage when time is up.   Politely decline any time you don’t want to spend with this person. Don’t lie or make up excuses, but do communicate your position by saying “I’m unavailable” or “I’m not interested in that activity.” If this person texts or calls you incessantly, let her or him know that it’s too much contact. Gently tell this person you don’t like to communicate at all times and would like more space. This person may go to you to fix his or her problems, or always seem to have some sort of crisis. If you don’t want to take this on, don’t. If you hate getting caught up in gossip or “woe is me” stories, communicate this need tactfully.  Especially if you give advice and this person tends to go against it, let it go. Allow the person to make his or her own decisions without you being a factor.  Say, “I don’t want to have this role in your life.” Avoid offering solutions. Instead, offer words of empowerment, such as, “I’m sure you’ll be able to work this out on your own.” If asked, “Why don’t we hang out anymore?”, don’t lie. There’s no use creating a lie that you will have to keep up, and it is more respectful to the person and to yourself to remain in honesty. You may feel like you are protecting yourself or the other person, but ask yourself whether there is any real benefit from lying. However, there’s no need to tell the person all the things you perceive as negative. Instead, put the focus on your own needs.  Say, “Sometimes I have difficulty being involved in the drama of other people’s lives when I have so much of my own already.” You can also say, “It can feel really draining to be so closely involved with other people that I...

TL;DR in English: Limit your contact. Avoid getting pulled in. Be honest. Be nice. Compromise.

Another way to tell the sex of a guinea fowl is to examine the vent, which is the genital area of a bird that controls the elimination of bodily fluids. To perform vent sexing, use one of your hands to turn the guinea fowl upside down and push its tail towards its head. Consider having a friend help you with the procedure.  It would help to be seated and rest the guinea fowl's back along the length of your leg. Vent sexing can be difficult to perform and may injure a bird. If you are not comfortable performing the procedure, have a bird expert do so. Vent sexing is usually performed in keets that are at least a few weeks old. The cloaca is the circular opening where reproductive, urinary, and digestive fluids exit a bird’s body. With your other hand (or the hand of your friend), place an index finger and thumb on either side of the vent. Gently separate those fingers to stretch and push out the cloaca. Use gentle, yet firm pressure when exposing the cloaca. Typically, it is very difficult to differentiate between the sexual organs of male and female birds. A male guinea fowl’s phallus is longer and thicker than that of a female guinea fowl. The phallus becomes more distinguishable between the sexes at around 8 weeks of age.

TL;DR in English: Turn the guinea fowl upside down. Expose the cloaca. Examine the phallus.

As soon as you have removed the spines and pedicellariae, you need to clean and flush the wound.  This will be uncomfortable as your wound is still sore and will sting to the touch. Be prepared to work through the pain or have someone assist you if you're worried about not being able to tolerate the discomfort.  You can also use hydrogen peroxide or betadine solutions instead of soap.  Rinse the area thoroughly with clean drinking water after washing. Bandages and tape should not be used to seal the wound. Any embedded spines not removed with tweezers need to work their way out of the skin to avoid bacterial infections and effects of the urchin's venom. To treat the pain and minimize chances of infection, some people bathe their wound after the initial cleaning.  You can submerge the wound in hot water. The water should be hot to the touch but not boiling. Keep the wound in the water for at least an hour or as long as you can tolerate the heat. This will help ease the pain and dissolve any remaining spines. You can add Epsom salt or magnesium sulfate compound to the water to aid in this process.  Some people try a hot vinegar bath. Mix a small amount of vinegar in a tub of hot water and soak for 20 to 40 minutes. You can also add Epsom salt to the water, as this will help the remaining spines dissolve.

TL;DR in English: Clean the wound with soap and water. Do not close the wound. Bathe the wound.

Make sure she's clean of any trace of blood, placental fluid, or fecal matter. Good hygiene reduces the risk of bacterial infection following birth.  You may see leaking fluids, called lochia, for several weeks after giving birth. These fluids are natural and normal, resulting from the shedding of your dog's uterine lining. Healthy lochia should be odorless, and may range in color from greenish-brown to blood-red. If your dog hasn't licked her pups clean within a few minutes of birth, you should wipe the puppies' face and nostrils with a damp, clean cloth to remove the placental sac. Give the pup back to its mother immediately. If your dog appears uninterested in cleaning her new pups, you may need to rub them with a clean cloth to stimulate breathing. You may want to take your dog outside for a pee and/or poop while another person replaces bedding with clean, dry cloths.  Continue to replace soiled bedding regularly, ensuring that the area remains clean. Keep a stash of clean bedding near your whelping box for easy access. Your dog may sleep for several hours following the birth, while her pups nurse or sleep. When she wakes, she should appear alert and interested in her new puppies.  If your dog doesn't appear interested in her new pups, this may be a sign of infection.Check her for other signs of distress, such as whining, dilated eyes, or foul-smelling discharge. If these are present, contact your veterinarian immediately. Though your dog may sleep more than usual, you should be attentive to any signs of discomfort or restlessness. If your dog doesn't want to drink water, try offering her chicken broth.

TL;DR in English: Clean your dog with a warm, damp cloth. Remove all soiled bedding from whelping area. Allow your dog to rest. Make sure that your dog has access to plenty of fluids during and immediately following the whelping process.

If you plan to use seafood, it should be added near the end because it cooks more quickly. Stew meats are generally less expensive, tougher cuts of meat. The braising process breaks down the fats in the meat, tenderizing them. Choose meats like pork shoulder, chicken thighs, chuck roast, bottom round, or even meats labeled "stew meat." Defrosting in the microwave right before can change some of the stew flavors because it may cook some of the meat too quickly. Cut 1 to 2-inch (2.5 to 5cm) pieces of meat. The size will depend upon your preference.  Generally, the longer the cooking time, the bigger your pieces of meat should be. You do not want your meat to overcook. Not all meat needs to be cut before adding it to a stew. Chicken thighs, chicken wings and short ribs can be cooked with the bone in and removed while eating. Dredge your meat pieces in flour. This will give them a crispy edge and give the stew a more complex flavor. Pour 1 to 2 tbsp. (15 to 30ml) of oil into the bottom of the pan to coat it. Brown it on all sides. This should take approximately 5 to 8 minutes with 2 lbs. (0.9kg) of meat. Place a towel or foil over the top to keep it warm.

TL;DR in English:


Plan out what exercise you're going to do. Include regular, moderate-intensity physical activity every week. Add in resistance and strength training. Increase your baseline activity.

Most manager positions require that you at least have your high school diploma or GED.  In addition to your high school degree, consider completing a two-year or four-year hospitality management degree.  This degree can give you an edge during hiring and will help you learn valuable management skills quickly. A degree program can also help you find quality internship placements and gain valuable experience with reputable employers. This will help you determine where you want to get entry-level experience to best prepare you for your career.  What size restaurant do you prefer? Managing a small restaurant can be a quite different experience from managing a restaurant that seats 300 people a night. What style service are you looking for? Fine dining? Casual? Fast casual? Do you have a preferred culinary style? For example, you might know that you’d love to manage a sushi restaurant or a fine-dining Italian restaurant. In becoming a restaurant manager, there is no substitute for seeing how a restaurant works by working in one.  Try to apply for jobs in restaurants that have similar qualities to the type of restaurant you’d like to manage. Many managers start in front of house positions, as a waiter or waitress, but you can also start in a kitchen position, if you are really interested in learning the food side of the business. No matter where you start, take an interest in the business. Ask questions to employees who have worked at the restaurant for a while. Take an interest in how other people work, and ask about positions other than your own. Be willing and eager to take on additional responsibilities. If you are pursing a degree program, working in a restaurant while you study is a great way to make a living and also gain experience. If this is the case, let your managers know. Likely, they will want to give you extra responsibilities and teach you on the job. Look for locally owned spots. Often, if you work at a locally owned restaurant, you’ll be able to meet the owner and managers. You’ll get a better...

TL;DR in English: Complete your education. Consider what type of restaurant you want to eventually manage. Apply for entry-level restaurant work. Acquire your certifications.

Move anything that doesn't belong on your bed off it. Making your bed can make a small room look cleaner with very little effort. Tuck bed sheets in neatly and arrange your pillows nicely. If you ever have too many blankets or pillows, take off the ones that you don’t need or use often. It'll be hard at first, but once you stop adding sentimental value to unnecessary items you'll find that you have a lot more space than you think. Donate anything you haven’t used in the last six months, or find storage outside your room, and move on. A small room can accumulate many small items on dressers and end tables. Find a spot for things like notebooks, jewelry, hair brushes, etc., if you don’t use them every day and put them away. Wash any dirty clothes lying around your room and put them away. Buy and use a dirty clothes hamper if you don't already have one. If you aren’t sure if some clothes are clean or dirty, wash it just to be safe. Clothes can take up a lot of unnecessary space when they are not folded or hung up properly. Organize your closet if you need to. Hang up any outfits you tried on but didn't put away. Make a donation pile for clothes you don’t wear or don’t fit anymore. You can either pass them down in your family or take them to a donation center. Put winter or summer clothes inside a luggage container, a bag or other place and store somewhere else until you need it. Swap the clothes out every change of season. This will create a lot more space and it cuts down searching time too.  Only store clean clothing and add cedar balls, lavender bags, etc., to deter insects from eating the fabric. Get plastic bins that fit underneath your bed so you can store clothes in the off-season.

TL;DR in English: Make your bed. Get rid of things you haven't used in the last six months. Put anything you don’t use every day away. Wash dirty clothes. Hang and put away clean clothes. Pack away all out-of-season clothing.

If you’re working with another person, this job is much easier. Have them hold the bike straight upright, without leaning towards one side. The easiest way is for the other person to sit on the bike like they’re riding it and plant both their feet. If you don’t have a partner to work with, you can still secure the bike. Use the kickstand while you’re getting everything into position, but raise it before you tie the bike down. Use standard tie-down straps that are available at a hardware store. Move up so you’re even with the front tire. It doesn’t matter which side you start on. Then tie the end of one strap to the trailer body. Pull on it to make sure the knot is secure.  Some trailers and trucks have designated tie-down spots. Look for hooks or loops indicating a tie-down point. If your trailer doesn’t have these, then tie the strap to a side bar on the trailer. Don't use plain rope for this job. Rope won't work with a ratchet, so you won't be able to get it tight enough. Start on the suspension tube on the same side that you tied the strap. Loop around the tube, above rubber parts of the shock absorber.  Some motorcycles have a cross brace designed for tying. Check if your motorcycle has this attachment. Don't wrap the straps around the shock absorbers, the rubber parts of the suspension. Tie a rope with a ratchet strap attached to it to the trailer in front of the front tire. Loop the first strap through the ratchet strap, then crank the ratchet to tighten the strap. Stop when the strap is taut. If you have a partner, have them sit on the bike so you don’t pull the strap all the way to one side. With one side secure, even the bike out with another strap. Use the same process on the other side of the front wheel. Tie the strap to one side, loop it around the suspension tube, then tighten it with a ratchet strap. The equal force will keep the bike held upright.  Try rocking the bike back and forth to make sure the straps are equally-taut. After the front wheel is secure, your partner can stop holding or...

TL;DR in English: Hold the bike upright. Tie one end of the strap to the side of the trailer in line with the front tire. Loop a strap around one of the front suspension tubes. Secure the other end of the strap to a ratchet strap and tighten it. Repeat the process on the opposite side of the front wheel.

Like your meal plan for healthy eating, spend some time thinking about what types of exercise you'd like to include for your activity.  There are many different ways to be active.  The more you enjoy your workouts, the more likely you are to stick with them long-term. Consider what types of activity you may want to include.  It is important to include both cardio and strength training activity each week for the best overall exercise and health benefits.  Gyms are a great place to join if you want to work on adding in physical activity.  You have access to group classes, cardio machines, weight machines and personal training staff. If you're not one for the gym, consider what activities you can do at home.  You may want to purchase exercise DVDs, plan a walking/running route or find free online videos. Find activities you want to do each week and schedule them into your day and week. One main type of exercise is aerobic exercise (cardio).  These activities have a lot of great health benefits when done on a regular and weekly basis.  The USDA recommends doing about 150 minutes or 2 1/2 hours of moderate-intensity cardio activity each week.   Moderate intensity activities are those that make you sweat and get your heart rate elevated for at least 10 – 20 minutes.  The benefits associated with cardio exercises include:  weight loss or healthy weight support, decreased risk of diabetes and high blood pressure, decreased risk for obesity, improved mood and sleep habits.  Do a combination of activities that you've planned out.  They can be anything from swimming, dancing, hiking, walking or doing a gym aerobics class. In addition to cardio, you should do strength training each week.  These exercises offer different health benefits than cardio and will help round out your physical activity regimen.  Strength or resistance training exercises aim to help build your lean muscle mass.  The benefits include more dense and hard bones, decreased risk of osteoporosis, increases in lean muscle mass and increased metabolism. ...

All chemicals, including substances like window cleaner or antibacterial cleaner, have the ability to remove the protective coating on the screen, which will inevitably result in a shorter life for your device. Never use a substance other than water to clean the screen.  Don't use cleaners meant for LCD screens, either. Those are meant for a different type of material, and they're harmful to iPhone and iPod Touch screens. Even natural substances like vinegar and lemon juice are too abrasive for cleaning the screen of an iPhone or iPod screen. Water is fine to use in very small amounts, but it should never be directly poured or dripped on the screen. Always use a microfiber cloth to transfer a little moisture to the screen, and make sure to wipe it off right away with a dry cloth.  Submerging an iPhone or iPod Touch in water is a sure way to ruin it. Don't try to soak it in an effort to remove a stubborn stain. If you accidentally get too much water on the screen, examine the user manual that came with your device to determine what steps you can take to fix it. Using an abrasive towel, or even a paper towel or napkin, can scratch and damage the screen of an iPhone or iPod Touch. If you lost the cloth that came with your device, you can pick up a new one at a computer store, or use a cloth meant for cleaning the lenses on glasses. If your device's screen has been damaged by a stain that won't wipe away, check out the warranty that came with it to determine whether you can take it in to have it cleaned or repaired. Trying to do so yourself may result in further damage.

TL;DR in English: Don't use household cleaners to clean your iPhone or iPod Touch screen. Don't soak the device in water. Always use a lint-free cloth. Be willing to get your device professionally cleaned.

If you're unsure what's causing your dog's itchy ears, you'll want to get him some relief until you can determine the problem. Contact your vet to confirm that the antihistamine is safe for your dog, especially if they are on other medication. Then you can give your dog 2 mg of a common antihistamine, like diphenhydramine, for every kilogram of body weight. Usually these are tablets given orally, three times a day. Antihistamines work by histamine release to prevent inflammation. Note that even once you've started treatment, your dog will probably continue to scratch. Also, antihistamines are not widely effective in treating canine itchiness. You can try it to see if it brings your dog any relief, but know that only 10 to 15% of dogs benefit from them. While some may recommend using this essential oil to calm inflamed or infected skin, know that it contains terpenes, which are toxic to dogs. Animals can tolerate tea tree oil that has been diluted to 0.1 to 1.0%, but most shampoos, disinfectants, and skin treatments sold by pet shops contain stronger amounts which could harm your dog. If you do use a tea tree oil product, make sure it's very diluted. Watch for signs of terpene toxicity if you choose to use tea tree oil. Toxic signs include nausea, vomiting, and, commonly in both cats and dogs, paralysis. Serious cases of paralysis, seizures, and even death have also been associated with tea tree oil. The veterinarian may prescribe a short course of corticosteroids to provide temporary itch relief until a course of medication kicks in. Corticosteroids are potent anti-inflammatories which are excellent at relieving itchiness. Or, ask your vet about using over-the-counter (OTC) creams that contain 0.5 to 1% hydrocortisone. Applying these creams to the skin of the ear flap and around the base of the ear could soothe inflamed skin. Be aware that steroids should not be used with certain medications, like if your dog is taking NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories) which are typically prescribed for arthritis....

TL;DR in English: Try giving your dog antihistamines. Be cautious about using tea tree oil. Give your dog temporary relief.

Turn the water supply valve behind the toilet clockwise to turn off the water supply. Once the water’s been turned off, flush the toilet to empty out the tank. You can also use a cup or a shop vac to get the water out of the tank. These are the 2 or 3 bolt heads surrounding the flapper in the bottom of the tank. You’ll recognize the bolts by the rubber washers underneath them. Use a flathead screwdriver to hold the bolts in place. Then, with the adjustable wrench, turn the bolts clockwise underneath the tank to tighten them. Tightening the bolts should prevent water from seeping out from underneath the tank. Turn the water supply back on to allow the tank to refill. Wait a few minutes, then look underneath the tank to see if it’s still leaking. If there’s no more leak, the gasket has been fixed. If there is still a leak, the washers underneath the bolts in the tank will need to be replaced.

TL;DR in English: Turn off the water and empty the water out of the tank. Locate the bolts in the tank that connect the tank to the bowl. Use an adjustable wrench and screwdriver to tighten these bolts. Refill the tank and check for leaks coming from the bolts.

In order for you to know how well you like a mattress, you must test it out in the store. Search around looking for mattresses that meet your criteria, and then lay on each to see how you like them.  Lay on each mattress for at least 2-3 minutes, and up to 15. The floor models are out specifically for this reason, so don’t be hesitant to lay in the store for a bit. Ignore descriptors on tags such as “ultra plush,” “super soft,” or “extra firm.” These aren’t regulated terms and are used freely within each mattress brand without consistency between them. Instead, just lay on the mattress to get a feel for how soft or firm it is. Try a firm, a plush, and a pillow-top mattress to get a feel for which type you prefer. Compare these types all within the same mattress brand to get the most accurate idea of which you like best. Ask to see a cutaway of the mattress if it’s available, so you can see exactly what it is you may be sleeping on. A comfort guarantee varies between brands, but is a certain period of time after you’ve purchased your mattress in which you can return or exchange it for free.  Always do this before you purchase and verify at purchase to make sure you are getting the correct information. Find out how long the comfort guarantee lasts for, as this can be different depending on each brand. Learn if you must pay for shipping to/from your home if the mattress doesn’t work out for you. This way you won’t be surprised by extra costs later. Many mattress brands and stores allow you to test the mattress in your home for up to thirty days. If you can, take this opportunity to verify that this mattress meets your sleep needs. Make sure that the mattress you are purchasing offers a minimum ten year, non-prorated warranty. Although buying just a mattress is all that seems necessary, you must also purchase a minimum of a box spring to support it as well.  Always buy a new box spring with your new mattress, as old box springs wear out over time and lose the desired support and firmness. Purchase a waterproof...

TL;DR in English: Test out mattresses. Ask about a comfort guarantee. Take it for a trial run. Check the warranty. Purchase the necessary mattress add-ons. Negotiate the price.

Warm saline water rinsed through your sinus cavity is known as “nasal irrigation” and can help dissolve mucus and ease nasal congestion. Be sure to use clean saline water each time you Use a Neti Pot, and disinfect it thoroughly after each use. If you think your sinus problems might be the result of a sinus infection, then you might benefit from taking grapefruit seed extract supplements. There is no scientific evidence that this method works, but some believe grapefruit seed extract has powerful antibiotic properties, and its high vitamin C content may help fight infection.  Sinus infections need to be diagnosed by a doctor. Classic symptoms include a thick/white discharge, nasal congestion, tooth discomfort, and facial pain or pressure that is made worse when the person leans forward or someone taps on his sinuses. Be aware that  both viruses and bacteria can cause sinusitis. Bacterial infections need to be treated with antibiotics and viruses do not respond to treatment. There is no good way to differentiate between the two, so try waiting a few days to see if the infection improves on its own or with home remedies. If not, see a doctor for treatment. As anyone who eats spicy foods knows, enough spice can cause a runny nose. If you’re experiencing congestion, try eating spicy foods to loosen and thin out the mucus in your sinuses. Cayenne pepper and horseradish are good options. Dry air causes nosebleeds and sinus pain and pressure. Invest in a humidifier for your home. For best results, you need to sit or sleep near your humidifier. Don’t keep it across the room, where it won’t do you any good. Avoid making your home too humid, which can promote the growth of mold and dust mites, both of which are bad for people with nasal allergies. Less than 50% humidity is ideal. Nasal strips are sticky cloth strips that go over the bridge of the nose and physically hold nasal passages open to relieve stuffy noses. These are available in any drugstore or convenience store. They typically come in different sizes, so...

Benzoyl peroxide is one of the most effective acne treatments. It is found in many face washes. Wash your face when you wake up in the morning and before going to bed at night.  If you can find one, use a face wash that contains exfoliating particles to help smooth your skin. If you have acne on other parts of your body such as your shoulders, back, and chest, give these areas a scrubbing twice daily as well with the same cleanser as you use on your face. If you wear makeup, never go to bed without washing it all off. Sleeping with makeup on is a surefire way to increase your pimple-count and make getting rid of your acne even more difficult. Use an oil-free makeup remover prior to washing with your regular cleanser to make sure all traces have been removed. Pat your face dry after cleansing with a clean towel. Pour a little bit of toner onto a cotton ball and apply it evenly over your face. The toner will help treat your skin after cleansing, and salicylic acid can fight the acne. Some toners come as wipes or pads. Others may be sprays. This gel can be bought from grocery stores, pharmacies, and beauty stores. Apply a dot of the gel on a pimple and pat it in with a clean finger. Look for products with 3% or less of benzoyl peroxide to avoid irritating your skin. Acne products can dry out or irritate your skin. A moisturizer can help restore moisture and hydrate your skin. Apply moisturizer after cleansing and treating your skin. Make sure to choose a non-comedogenic moisturizer. This means that the moisturizer won't cause acne. Common ingredients in non-comedogenic moisturizers include glycerin, aloe vera, and hyaluronic acid. Known as the Oil Cleansing Method (OCM), this is a popular method of cleansing in Asia, and is a growing trend.  OCM is an alternative cleansing method that is gentler for skin, and of interest for sensitive skin types.  Look into oils such as olive oil, egg oil, grapeseed oil, castor oil, and emu oil. your face. Exfoliates are mild scrubbing products that work to slough (to get rid...

On the whole, oleanders are low-maintenance plants that don't need regular pruning. However, you should aim to do a major pruning of your oleander at least once a year during late summer or early fall. This pruning will help you shape your plant and stimulate healthy growth.  Pruning at this time won't interfere with the blooming of the plant, because it is after the plant has already bloomed for the season. Don't prune past October. Pruning too late can make the recently cut sections of the plant vulnerable during winter. It's essential to wear gloves when you are pruning oleander. Oleander is poisonous, and while for the most part it's only dangerous when ingested, it can cause skin irritation and inflammation when handled. That is why it's best to wear gloves when pruning or handling the plant.  You may also consider wearing goggles if you have sensitive skin or eyes. Be aware that the toxin in oleander is primarily in the sap of the plant. New shoots, also called suckers or basal shoots, are offshoots of the plant that grow up out of the base of the plant. Use sharp gardening shears to snip them as close to the base as you can. You can also dig up the dirt around the shoot and tear them out of the ground to remove them. These shoots can be harmful to the overall health of the plant because the plant will start to dedicate its energy into maintaining the shoot, rather than investing all its energy in the oleander. If your oleander is too tall and its size is a problem, you will want to cut it down to size. Since pruning oleander actually encourages growth and branching, cut stems at half the desired height of the plant. For instance, if you'd like your oleander to be four feet tall, cut stems at two feet. Your oleander will continue to grow, and will reach four feet when the branches grow in. If your plant is more or less the size you'd like, you do not have to do any drastic cuts. After cutting the stems to the desired heights, decide if you want to change the overall shape of the plant. When cutting...

TL;DR in English: Prune in late summer or early fall. Wear gloves. Snip off new shoots at the base of the plant. Cut oleander stems to about half height you'd like for the overall plant. Shape your oleander.

Turn the oven on to 350°F (180°C). Get out a baking sheet and line the sheet with a silicone baking mat. If you don't have a mat, you can line it with a sheet of parchment paper. Set the pan aside while you make the cookie dough. Place 1/2 of a medium banana into a mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the banana until it's smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed, 3 tablespoons of water, and 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Mash the mixture until the water and oil are combined. Measure and add 1/3 cup (66 g) cane sugar to the mixing bowl along with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a spoon or rubber spatula to stir the wet mixture well. Set it aside while you mix together the dry ingredients. Get out another mixing bowl and place all of the dry ingredients into it. Use a whisk to combine the mixture for about 30 seconds. This will ensure that the baking soda is evenly distributed. You'll need to combine:  2 cups (180 g) quick cooking oats 3/4 cup (90 g) all-purpose gluten-free flour 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt Scoop the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula or spoon to stir the cookie dough until it's just combined and you don't see any pockets of dry ingredients. Stir in 1/2 cup (80 g) of vegan chocolate chips or chunks. You can use a large tablespoon to scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Or use a cookie scoop that measures about 1 tablespoon. Gently flatten each of the cookies just a little, since they won't expand and spread out very much as they bake. Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes. The cookies start to look dry and cracked around the edges once they've finished cooking. Cool the cookies on the sheet for 5 minutes before you transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Store the leftover oatmeal raisin cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet. Mash the banana with flax seed and water. Stir in the sugar and vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients. Combine the wet and dry mixtures with the chocolate chips. Scoop the cookies onto the prepared sheet. Bake the oatmeal raisin cookies.

Concentrate on doing well in mathematics courses. Also consider taking basic carpentry or electrical courses if available. Study hard and take the SAT and/or ACT tests, as those scores may be considered when you apply for an undergraduate program. You have several degree options on your path to becoming a quantity surveyor. A bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Building Science, or Construction Science will help you prepare to enter this field. Look for a degree program that offers training or an internship alongside your education.  Construction Management degrees teach construction skills and management, estimating, mechanical systems, and surveying. Building Science undergraduate degrees include courses like alternative energy, building methods, sustainable building practices, and building performance, structures and science. Construction Science degrees teach building technology, cost estimating, and construction safety, management and procedures. Look for internship opportunities if you weren’t able to secure one through your college or university. Check online job boards for combinations of keywords like “quantity surveyor,” “cost engineer,” “project controls manager,” “intern,” “internship,” and “summer placement.” You can also research companies you would like to work for and send them cover letters. Mention any relevant work experience you have, including any student jobs. Explain what was involved in each role. If you don’t have any work experience yet, focus on your education, strengths, and goals. You may benefit from getting licensed as a Professional Engineer (PE) or a Registered Architect (RA). Many employers will require you to have a valid driver’s license to apply as a quantity surveyor, since you will need to drive to job sites. If you want to work overseas, you may need a quantity survey license. Professional certification is voluntary. If you’re interested in getting licensed, you can do so through the Association for the Advancement of Cost Estimating International, the...

Identify a person's name with a fact about him. By doing this, you will be able to recall his name by viewing a mental image of the person and his personality or job. For example, if you meet a client named Tyler who sells printer toner, say to yourself, "Tyler sells toner." Although this sentence may sound simple, it will help you remember his name in the long run. If there isn't a catchy phrase associated with the person's name, create a mental image of him performing an activity that he enjoys. For example, if you meet a man named Dylan who is a fan of baseball, imagine him wearing a baseball cap. When you meet him again, you will have an image to associate with him. By repeating it a few times, you will plant it into your memory. Although you should actively participate in the conversation, focus on recalling his name. When listening to him speak, think, "Danny told me about his new car." Mentally play with the name to help it stick. Over exaggerate the syllables, break it into parts, or associate a bit of it with other words. For example, the name Natalie can be exaggerated to sound like "Naaat-ahhh-leee." Also, it can be made into nonsense words, such as, "Nat-Tall-Lee," "Nat-bat," or "Lee-key." Different combinations will help ingrain her name into your memory. Connect the name of the person with someone in your life, such as a celebrity, a friend, or a family member. You can do this by noting that he has the same hair color, style, etc. Make the connection as close as possible in order to remember why you associated them.  For example, you meet a new classmate. You could connect him with your high school lab partner because they both have the same name and hair color. You could also associate him with a movie character because they both have the same appearance. Note that the connection doesn't have to make sense to anyone but you.  State your connection out loud. For example, once the person introduces himself, you could say, "My sister just named her son [insert name]!" You will not only contribute...

TL;DR in English: Make associations. Repeat the name in your head. Make connections. Care enough about the person to remember. Make a mnemonic device.

Posting a death notice/obituary is a good way to let people know about the deceased's passing. It is also a nice way to pay tribute to that individual. Most newspapers will run the death notice for one day, with the option of running it multiple days for an added price. Many newspapers also post the obituary online, which will be accessible indefinitely.  Be aware of the cost. Some newspapers charge over $100 to print a death notice/obituary, and they can be even more expensive if you include a photograph. Some newspapers restrict the size of a death notice. For example, the Chicago Tribute has a minimum of the deceased's name and three lines of text, with a maximum of 70 lines of text. There is usually a deadline on how quickly a newspaper can print the death notice. For example, some newspapers require notice by a certain time the day before the notice is to be printed, while other publications may require even more time. You'll need to provide the deceased's full name, age, date and place of birth, date and residence at death, the names of the deceased's immediate family, any surviving relatives' names, any hobbies or accomplishments of the deceased, and any funeral or memorial service information you have. It's up to you and your family to decide how many people to notify and invite to the funeral. You may wish to have a small, private ceremony, or you may want a lot of people there, depending on how big the deceased's circle of family and friends are. Some important people to notify of the deceased's passing, if not invite to the service, include:  any relatives, friends, and close neighbors the employer of the deceased (if he or she was still working at the time of death) a religious officiant, if the deceased was an active member of some religious community Most funeral ceremonies and casket viewings involve a floral display. You have many choices, both in terms of what type or types of flower you would like on display, as well as any arrangements or patterns that you may want. These may be offered...
