Dig a square hole in the perimeter of your house. Put a board in the hole, put boards in all parts of the hole except one place (this one place will be the door). Fill up holes, make sure that the boards don't wobble much by filling up the holes. Screw the boards of wood that are your wall together. Seal up the screws. Put in a roof. Make a door (optional). Make windows (optional).

The most important way to get an agent to represent you in the business, be it acting or music, is to get out there and start doing your craft. Agents look for talented and already established artists with a track record they'll be able to profit from, not people who may be talented but who've never done anything in the business. If you want to get an agent for acting, you need to act first. If you want to be a singer, you need to perform. Go to every open call-out for actors and take whatever work you can get. The experience may not be glamorous, but it's experience that you can use to move up in the world. If you play music, get on every open-mic, local festival, and radio show that will have you and listen to your music. Get your name out there as a reliable worker. Aside from getting as much experience working as you can, you also need to practice and perfect your skills by taking lessons, workshops, or classes related to your craft. Even if you want to be a stand-up comedian, there are craft-centered workshops in which you learn stage-timing and receive feedback from experience joke-tellers. Find a class or workshop in your area and sign up for it. If you don't enjoy the work itself, there'll be no point in getting an agent to help you get more of it. Start building a network of actors or musicians whom you trust and can use for guidance in building a career. You'll be able to use them for craft tips most importantly, but they'll also prove useful when it comes time to meeting agents. If you've got an actor friend who has scored representation from a licensed agency, you might have an "in" with that agency if you've worked together and shared resources in the past. Help out other performers, too. If you hear about an open call-out for actors, tell your actor friends rather than hiding it from them and hoping to keep it a secret so you'll get it for yourself. When a friend wins a part, celebrate. Spreading the wealth around benefits everyone and will make them more willing to help you out if you need it.

TL;DR in English: Work as much as you can. Perfect your craft. Talk to other performers.

In order to write, you will either need staff paper and a writing implement, such as a pencil or pen, or some kind of music writing software. Writing by hand is problematic because, in order to hear what you’ve played, you have to be able to play an instrument or you need to find someone else who can. With music notation software, you’re able to hear what you’ve written immediately, using the computer playback.  Some examples of music writing software include: Sibelius First, Finale and MagicScore Maestro.  For free music writing software, try MuseScore and Lilypond. If you play or have access to an instrument, you can try playing your melodies using your instrument to hear how they sound before writing them down. Using the outline you created earlier, construct each individual movement. While writing, you’ll need to be constantly making decisions regarding different musical techniques and styles within your piece. Some of those techniques include:  Dynamics Rhythms Intervals Harmonies Theme development Counterpoint Voice leading Orchestration Traditionally, symphonies are written for the following instrumental types: strings (violin, viola, cello, and bass) woodwinds (2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, and 2 bassoons)  brass (2 French horn, 2 trumpets with a small orchestra) and percussion (2 tympani, triangle, and cymbal) for a small orchestra. A medium size is when you can add a piccolo, English horn, bass clarinet, contra bassoon to the woodwinds and double the number of French horns and add 3 trombone plus a tuba to the brass as well as extra percussion instruments. If you can go larger, go for it.  You don't however, have to stick with traditional instrumentation. If the instruments are available and there are players to play them, feel free to use other instruments in your symphony either adding them or using them like different colors (eg. replace one traditional instrument with one non-traditional one). For example, the inventor of the saxophone family designed his instruments for the orchestra (built...

TL;DR in English: Gather your materials. Start writing. Assign melodies to different instruments.

Lined paper will help you write each letter evenly and uniformly. It will also help to distinguish the difference in size of the upper case and the lower case letters. If you are teaching your child how to write the alphabet, interact with them as they write each letter. Once they finish writing the letter “A” and the letter “B”, for example, ask them about the differences between each letter. This will help your child remember each letter and start to get a sense of the different shapes of each letter. Draw one angled vertical line facing right: /. Draw another angled vertical line facing left:  \, ensuring both lines touch each other at the top upper tips:  /\. Draw a horizontal line in the middle of the two lines: A. This is A. Draw one vertical line:  | . On its right side, draw two half-bubbles, going down the line: B. This is B. Draw a half-moon, with an opening on the right: C. This is C. Draw a vertical line: |. Then, starting at its top right, draw a backwards C (step 3): D. This is D. Draw one vertical line: |. Draw three horizontal lines, all on the right side of this, each 1/3rd shorter than the original (if you want, make the middle line shorter than the lines on the top and bottom). One goes on top, one in the middle, one on bottom: E. This is E. Draw an E (step 5), but omit the bottom horizontal line: F. This is F. Draw a C (step 3). Then, draw a horizontal line, beginning at the base of the bottom tip, half-way through the C: G. This is G. Draw two vertical lines next to each other: | |. Then, draw a horizontal line in the middle, connecting them: H. This is H. Draw one vertical line: |. If desired, put two short horizontal lines at the top and bottom of the vertical, placing them so the vertical connects them in the middle of the horizontal lines.  This is I.

Oral, anal, and vaginal sex can all spread STDs. While oral sex with a condom has the lowest risk of transmission, there is no 100% "safe" sex. You can, however, protect yourself to lower risks of STD a great deal. Forms of protection such as male condoms, female condoms, and dental dams greatly reduce risk of STD infection. There is always some slight risk, however. Talk to your doctor if you have questions about the effectiveness of sex protection. Some forms of STD prevention also help prevent pregnancy, such as male condoms; however, there are many forms of birth control that have no impact whatsoever on STD transmission. Remember that any nonbarrier form of birth control, such as hormonal birth control, IUDs, or spermicide, will not prevent the spread of STDs. Most condoms are made of latex and are effective at preventing STDs; however, there are some condoms (that are often labeled as "natural") that are made out of other materials such as sheepskin. These non-latex condoms might prevent pregnancy but not the spread of STDs. To be safe, be sure that your condoms explicitly say "disease protection" on the packaging. Condoms are very effective and reliable, so long as they are used correctly. They can be purchased at most drug and grocery stores, sex shops, or obtained for free at some hospitals and clinics. Use condoms every time you engage in sexual activity: they only work if used consistently.  Male condoms fit on the penis and are put on before engaging in penetrative sex. They work for vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Open the package carefully (not with your teeth or a pair of scissors), place it so that the rolled up edges are facing away from the person wearing it, pinch the tip, and carefully roll it on. Inspect it for tears or holes and if you feel it break at any time, pull out immediately. Also, use lubricant to keep it from tearing due to friction. When the act is completed, pull out (while holding the condom on) before the erection is lost and carefully dispose of the condom. Absolutely do not...

TL;DR in English: Recognize that all forms of sex have STD risks. Recognize that forms of protection are not entirely foolproof. Be aware of the difference between birth control and STD prevention. Buy latex condoms that say "disease protection" on the package. Use condoms correctly and consistently. Only use one condom at a time. Make sure condoms haven't expired. Don't store condoms in hot or sunny places. Use dental dams. Use medical gloves. Use protection on any sexual devices. Do not use oil-based lubricant on latex products.

Window-shopping is a great way to spend time without spending money. When you window shop, you can glean inspiration for how to use existing items, make a mental note of items you might want to purchase later, or satisfy your curiosity about a new season’s items and trends. You don’t have to go to the mall with the intention of window shopping, but it can turn into that when you don’t have friends pressuring or urging you to purchase something. One of the greatest benefits of shopping solo is the ability to take as long as you want. When you shop with others, you have to work on a shared timetable, but when you are on your own, you can linger in your favorite part of a store, try clothes on multiple times to get a clear idea of what you like, or even just wander around. You can also go as fast as you’d like. If you walk into a store and don’t like what you see, walk right back out! You do not have to wait around for someone else to finish browsing. Being alone is a great excuse to visit a store you’ve never been to--particularly if there is a store you are too shy or embarrassed to visit with other people. You can visit a weaponry store, a joke shop, or even a lingerie shop without worrying about what your companions might think. Do not visit stores you are not permitted to. Shopping alone is a time to experience freedom from others’ timetables and wants, not a time to behave inappropriately or disobey a parent’s request. Ask about return policies, when new shipments come in, what types of clothing would fit your coloring or frame well, or even whether or not they like their job. Although some sales staff will not have answers for you, they will likely find someone who does. If you are nervous buying new clothes or are unsure what to purchase for an event, get the input of an impartial third party. A friend is likely to sugarcoat opinions to spare your feelings.

TL;DR in English: Window shop. Take your time. Visit stores you’ve never been to. Talk to salespeople.

The hole should not be very wide, but should be a foot or 2 deep. This will be the walls of your house.  Do this by putting a small piece of wood on 2 pieces of wall and screwing the ends of the little piece of wood to the pieces of wall. Do this for all parts of the wall. You need to cover the pointy ends of the screws. You probably don't want to get rained on, so you will have to add a roof to your house. For this part, you get a long board of wood, one so long that it can go from one end of your house to the other. Put this board on top of the wall, one end on top of North Wall, the other end on top of the South Wall. (it doesn't have to be North and South, just as long as you use opposite directions. Then, screw the roof board to the wall that is under it. Then continue putting on roof boards. If you want a door, you can put a board on the hole if you want a simple door, but for a more complex door, you should attach hinges to a wall near the door, and attach a board of wood to the other end of the hinge. To make windows, cut out a square in a board before you put it in the hole.

TL;DR in English:


Use back and forward strokes to create a smooth, flat look. Draw in a tight circular motion to add texture to your drawing. Vary the pressure on the pencil to create different shades. Use hatching to create a 3D effect in your drawings. Utilise the cross-hatch technique to create a shadow effect.

The master key will give you an express ride if you have one. Your building's manager should have a key, and if you have enough clout, you may be able to just ask for a copy of the key. Firefighters have master keys that work on most elevators, as they need them in case of emergency. If you know someone in the profession, you may be be able to convince him or her to give you a copy of the elevator's key. However, understand that your firefighter friend is likely to be reluctant. Putting master keys in the hands of the public can be dangerous and possibly even illegal. Check the legality of having such a key in your area. If you fail in your quest, you can also check eBay for master keys. You can look for all-access keys that should work in a variety of elevators. Most of these have four sides to work in multiple types of elevators.  Buying keys is somewhat of a legal gray area. Check to see if it's legal in your state before purchasing one.  However, to make sure the key you buy works on your elevator, you may need to do a little research. Look at the make and model of your elevator, which is usually listed inside the elevator. Use that information to find out what kind of key it takes. To use the key, insert it in the keyhole when you get in the elevator. You may need to try more than one if it's four-sided. Leave the key in. Push the button of your floor to get an express ride.

TL;DR in English: Ask for a copy of the master key. Ask your firefighter friends. Check eBay. Use the key.

Measure the distance between your armpits to your upper torso. Use a simple piece of string, a small-diameter rope, or a body strap. Cut two pieces of material to this length and see if they fit around your body. The chest strap should be leveled to your arm pit on your upper chest.  Once you find a comfortable fit, seal the ends with a knot to prevent unraveling. You can also use Velcro to attach the chest strap. Measure and cut out two thin strings that will go over your shoulders and attach to the chest strap to hold it in place. Take a measurement while the chest strap is attached, then remove the chest strap to attach the shoulder straps.  You can knot the straps in place or use velcro to secure the shoulder straps to the chest strap. Imagine the design of a bra to help construct this design. There are plenty of options for underarm guards or pads. You can either make your own pads or buy a pack of premade pads designed to attack the sweat. Use whatever product or design that fit your needs. Use a safety pin or tape to attach the underarm guards to the harness where it crosses under your armpits. The guards should fit snugly against your underarms without impeding circulation. The easiest way to put on the harness is to insert each arm as if pulling on a cut-off T-shirt. Put your head through the harness. Adjust the length of the shields as needed. Once you're satisfied with the placement of the guards and harness, put the rest of your clothing on.  Determine if you can see the harness while fully clothed by looking in a mirror. One way to hide the harness is by wearing an under shirt over the harness and then wear an additional shirt. Loose fit clothing will also help conceal the harness. Give yourself at least one week to test the comfort of the harness before trying a new technique.

TL;DR in English: Create a chest strap. Attach two shoulder straps. Acquire a pair of shields. Attach the guards to the harness. Put on the harness before your other clothing.

Wrap the measuring tape around the neck, beginning at about one inch from the meeting of your neck and shoulders. This may also coincide with the bottom part of your Adam's apple. Come fully around the neck, leaving no dangling space in between the neck and the tape. Don't pull too tightly so as to create unnecessary tension, just enough so that you are getting a true measurement. Make sure the tape is level and not being held at an angle. This is the actual neck size.  The dress shirt size will be half an inch bigger.  For example, if you measure your neck to be exactly 15 inches (38 cm) around, then your dress shirt size will be 15½ inches (39.5 cm).  If you measured on a 1/4 inch/centimeter, then round up to the nearest 1/2 inch/centimeter. For example, if your neck size was 16.25, round up to 16.5. Your neck size should range between about 14 - 19 inches or 35.5 - 48.3 centimeters.

TL;DR in English: Start your measurement. Hold the tape tight. Note the measured number.

Anxiety can create stress that leads to difficulty remembering and poor performance. You can spend time in the classroom a difficult subject is held to make it less imposing and improve your ability to concentrate.  Organize a study group with your friends in a classroom you feel anxious. This can help ease your nerves. Perceived stress can have a greater influence on mental state than biology. By perceiving a challenge as manageable, we can limit excessive worry or negative thought cycles. Automatic negative thoughts can create fear or feelings of inadequacy. These are typically a kind of irrational thought, and are not helpful when preparing for school. Ask questions about your negative feelings and think about how you want to resolve them. This can lead you to a more positive state of mind. Studies have shown that breathing exercises are effective tools for stress management and emotional control. Proper breathing techniques can alleviate dizziness, shortness of breath, and increased heart rate.  Pursing your lips can slow your breathing to a more natural rate.  Counting as you breathe, making sure to breath in fully and then completely exhale, has also been shown to help with stress and anxiety management. These can sometimes be difficult for you to identify. Something as simple as a caffeinated beverage or energy drink might put you on edge and in a bad mental state. Other triggers can be specific events, scenarios, activities, or people. Ask yourself, "What might make me feel better in this situation?" In some cases, apprehension can be lessened by removing caffeine from your diet or asking a friend to tag along. Some common triggers include:  Coffee Soda Caffeinated tea Tests Speeches Physical evaluations Presentations.

TL;DR in English: Familiarize yourself with your learning environment. Challenge your negative thoughts. Practice breathing exercises. Note triggers for your anxiety.

The quickest way to get rid of a raspy voice is to talk. Although your voice will sound gritty and unpleasant at first, it will soon even out and you’ll soon find yourself speaking in a normal voice.  If you don’t want others to hear you talking in a raspy voice, try talking to yourself, talking to your pets, or even talking or singing in the shower. Alternately, even if you wait a few hours to begin speaking in the morning, most of the raspy sound will have left your voice. Your voice will sound the hoarsest during the first hour or two after waking up. If your vocal chords have dried out overnight, you’ll likely wake up with a raspy, dry voice in the morning. To get rid of the raspy quality as soon as possible, have a large drink of water, coffee, or even orange juice as soon as possible. The liquid will clear any phlegm or liquids that have built up in your throat.   Vocalists are often advised to squeeze a lemon slice into a glass of water to help “wake up” their vocal cords. Avoid drinking milk in the morning, as it is a relatively thick liquid and will not clear your throat well. If your throat and vocal cords are coated with mucus (which often produces a raspy voice), try clearing your throat to remove the thick, phlegmy coating. This will help your voice to quickly return to its normal quality. Humming will “wake up” your voice by causing your vocal cords to vibrate and shake off any mucus coating them. When you hum correctly, you should feel you lips and nose gently vibrating. Try humming for 30 seconds, and then saying a few words. See if your voice has improved. If not, hum some more.

TL;DR in English: Start talking shortly after you wake up. Drink water or coffee when you get up. Clear your throat gently. Hum softly to help clear your throat.

This technique is sometimes called the shading stroke because it is perfect for coloring in large areas. Move the pencil back and forth over your paper to create an even and solid color. Use this technique on any types of drawings, including landscapes, sky scenes, portraits, and abstract pictures. Try to keep a consistent pressure when using the back and forward strokes to make the color look even. This is a quick and easy way to make your drawing look 3-dimensional. Simply move your pencil in small circular motions over the paper. Use this circular technique to add realistic texture to clothes, skies, trees, animals, and faces.  Experiment with different sized circular motions on scrap paper to figure out which style you like best. To darken the color, simply overlap the small circles. Similarly, to lighten the color, use slightly larger circles and spread them out a little more. You can get a lot of colors out of one pencil just by changing how hard you press down. Press really gently to create a light color and press firmly to create a darker color. To make objects look 3-dimensional, press harder in areas where you want to create shadows and press lightly in areas that you want to highlight.  This is perfect for drawing sky and water, as it allows you to create the different shades that are found in nature. This helps to make your drawings look more realistic. If you find that you are breaking the lead in your pencil, press a little lighter and color over the same section a few times to achieve the same depth of color. Hatching is a shading technique that involves drawing multiple parallel lines in a row to fill a blank space with color and texture. Don’t worry if there is a little bit of white between the lines, as this helps to accentuate the unique texture that hatching produces.  Draw the lines close together to create deep, solid colors, or separate the lines a little to make the color look lighter and more dispersed. Make the lines the same color to create a solid color, or use different colors to...

Brownies continue cooking as they sit outside the oven, which helps them firm up and taste extra delicious. Leave your brownies on a wire cooling rack on top of your counter until they are completely cooled. Avoid leaving your brownies on the stovetop. The heat from your oven will delay the cooling time. A serrated knife works well for cutting through brownies. You could also use a smooth blade if you don't have a serrated one.

TL;DR in English: Let your brownies cool for 1-2 hours before you cut them. Use a serrated knife to make the cuts.

Shears designed specifically for trimming hair will give you the best results. Avoid using regular scissors or you may not get an even cut. To keep an established moustache neat and tidy, you can use scissors to tend to the finer details rather than buzzing it all off indiscriminately. For this approach, comb the hairs straight down so that they’re hanging over your lip. You’ll be able to see right away how much you need to take off. Remember to dry-comb your moustache to get a more accurate sense of length. Use the teeth of the comb to gather up the hairs to the desired length. Then, snip off everything that extends beyond them, adjusting the comb as necessary.  Use the bottom blade to gently lift the hairs away from your skin to avoid cutting yourself. Work slowly and carefully—making a mistake may force you to cut your moustache shorter to correct the imbalance. There’s a good chance that your scissors won’t be long enough to clip each and every hair at once. To guarantee an even length, proceed one section at a time, beginning with the philtrum area and moving outward to the edges. Be sure to snip the hairs at the same point all the way across. Use the previous section you cut as a guide so the next section is even.  Double check each cut before you commit to it. Once it’s gone, you can’t put it back. For longer moustaches, trimming the middle section slightly shorter than the sides can create the appearance of shape and body. Look over your moustache from top to bottom and zero in on any excess growth you missed the first time. Once you’ve done this, scan the outer perimeter of your lip for stray hairs. These can also be dealt with using your scissors, though tweezers or a handheld razor will eliminate hairs at or near the root, making them disappear for good.  Turn and tilt your head to get a better look at your moustache from every angle. One or two hairs may go unnoticed at a distance, but they’ll be obvious once you’re face to face with someone else.

TL;DR in English: Use hair cutting or grooming shears. Comb your moustache down over your top lip. Hold the comb in place and trim any hairs that fall below your lip. Work from the center of your moustache outward. Inspect your handiwork.

Plug it in and wait for it to heat, or turn it to a certain temperature, depending on the model you're using. In many cases, a small light will come on when the waffle iron is ready.  A good test of the temperature is to let a drop or two of water fall on the plates of the waffle iron. The drops should sizzle and dance for 2-3 seconds before vanishing. If the drops sit there for much longer than that, the waffle iron isn't warm enough yet. If they vanish in less than a couple seconds, the waffle iron may be too hot. Use an egg separating tool to separate the yolks from the whites and place them in separate bowls. You may also separate the eggs by cracking them in half and tipping the yolk from shell half to shell half, letting the white drop to a bowl below. It's all right to leave a bit of the egg whites in with the yolk, but don't get any yolk in with the egg white.  The egg whites won't foam properly if there is even a little yolk in them. Beat the butter or oil and egg yolks in a separate bowl.  Add the milk and vanilla, and continue beating until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Make a well in the dry ingredients. Pour the egg yolk mixture into the well. Stir the ingredients together until everything is moist. Don't overmix the ingredients, or the waffles will come out dense. You can leave a few lumps in the batter. Gently mix them into the batter until everything is a fairly even consistency.  Again, don't over-mix.  Remember that folding is a very gentle, top-to-bottom sort of stirring.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the waffle iron. Separate the eggs. Beat the remaining wet ingredients. Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Fold in the egg whites.

Occasionally fungicidal sprays can burn and damage your plant leaves. Test each type of spray on a small area of your plant, such as 1 low leaf, before spraying your whole plant. Spray the leaf with enough spray that it runs off the leaf, and allow it to dry. If the leaf begins turning yellow or brown, this spray may be too harsh for this plant. Try different types of sprays on different leaves until you find a couple that work. Mildew can be a stubborn fungus that adapts and builds resistance to things that fight it. When you’ve found a couple sprays that work, alternate them so that the mildew doesn’t build a resistance to any of them. For example, use a baking soda spray 1 week and a milk spray or vinegar spray the next. When you begin a spray treatment regimen for powdery mildew, you will want to spray your infected plant in the morning to allow the sun to dry the treatment on the leaves. You may often see improvement after 1 treatment. Wait at least a week to apply another spray treatment, and do this only if you do not see improvement on your leaves from the first treatment. Before spraying your infected leaves, wipe them with a clean, dry cloth to get some of the mildew off first. This helps reduce the amount of mildew that runs off into the soil with your spray solution. Alternatively, rub infected leaves against each other to get some of the mildew off. Each time you use a homemade spray, spray each infected leaf generously enough that the spray starts to run off the leaf. Do not wipe the spray from the leaf, but allow the spray to run off and air dry. Chemical fungicides can be effective, but they can cause other problems with your garden as well. They can harm good organisms in the soil, as well as bees and other pollinating insects that are healthy for a thriving garden. They also can affect how safe it is to eat plants they are used on, so be sure to follow all packaging directions carefully if you’re using them on edible plants. Since organic fungicides can be made easily at home, it’s wise to...

TL;DR in English: Test each spray on your plant before using it. Alternate sprays so the mildew doesn’t build resistance. Spray infected plant areas in the morning no more than once per week. Wipe leaves with a clean cloth to partially remove mildew. Allow spray to run off the leaves. Use chemical fungicides with caution.

You should have each program you want to use to test your computer's RAM up and running before you proceed. For example, if you want to see what your RAM looks like while running Safari, QuickTime, and GarageBand, you should have all three of these programs running before proceeding. Click the magnifying glass icon in the top-right corner of the screen to do so. A search bar will appear in the middle of the screen. Type in activity monitor, then double-click the Activity Monitor result in the menu that appears below the Spotlight search bar. It's at the top of the window. Doing so brings up a list of programs currently affecting your computer's RAM. At the bottom of the window, you'll see a "Physical Memory" heading and a "Memory Used" heading. The first heading refers to the amount of RAM your computer has installed, while the second refers to the amount of RAM currently in use.  Subtract the "Memory Used" value from the "Physical Memory" value to calculate the amount of remaining RAM. You can also watch the "MEMORY PRESSURE" graph to see a real-time representation of approximately how much RAM is being used.

If your leg pain is chronic, aggravated by walking or particularly severe, then seeing a chiropractor or osteopath is a good idea. Chiropractors and osteopaths are spinal specialists that focus on establishing normal motion and function of the spinal joints that connect the vertebrae by manually adjusting them. Problems in the spine, such as a disc herniation, "pinched" nerves, or degenerative arthritis, can cause pain, numbness and/or weakness in the legs — making it difficult to walk.  Although a single spinal adjustment can sometimes completely relieve your issue, more than likely it will take three to five treatments to notice significant results. Chiropractors and osteopaths also use a variety of therapies tailored more towards muscle strains, which may be more appropriate for your leg issue. Medical specialists may be needed to rule out the most serious causes of chronic leg problems, such as diabetic neuropathy, venous insufficiency (leaky vein valves of the lower leg), stress fracture of the tibia, infections, bone cancer, chronic compartment syndrome (swelling of the lower leg muscles), or popliteal artery entrapment. These conditions are obviously not common causes of tired and sore legs, but if home care and conservative therapies are not effective for soothing your legs, then more serious problems need to be considered.  X-rays, bone scans, MRI, CT scans, diagnostic ultrasound and nerve conductance studies are  diagnostic tests and modalities that specialists may use to help diagnose your leg issue. Your doctor may also send you for a blood test to rule out diabetes, inflammatory arthritis or a bone infection. You may be given compression socks to wear if the veins in your lower legs are weak or leaky. If the stress is too great in your life and it's causing musculoskeletal and/or emotional problems, then talk with a mental health professional. Aside from helping with stress, anxiety and depression, cognitive-behavioral therapy can also help with musculoskeletal pain.  Mental health professionals...

You can peel the sweet potatoes or leave the skin on. It doesn’t matter how the potatoes were cut—they could be diced, in large chunks, or even in wedges. Use a clean bowl that is big enough to contain the potatoes without them extending up over the lip of the bowl. Check that there is enough room in your fridge for the bowl. If not, clear out some space so it will fit. You can use filtered or tap water. Give the potatoes a quick stir to ensure the water has gotten in between all of the pieces. You could also add a handful of ice to the bowl to make sure the water stays as cold as possible, though this isn’t required. If you are prepping for a big meal, dice up your sweet potatoes up to a day in advance and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook them. If you drain the potatoes and notice that they are turning brown, that they’ve started getting soft, or if they are slimy, you should discard them as they may be going bad. Don’t leave the bowl out on the counter for longer than 1-2 hours. The potatoes will probably be okay, but there is also a chance that the water will get warm, which could cause the potatoes to start turning brown.

TL;DR in English: Place your cut, raw sweet potatoes into a large bowl. Cover the potatoes with cold water. Keep the bowl in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Cut the avocado into chunks. Pour in the lemon juice. It can be used now, or, if you're not using it for raw food purposes, do the following:  Place the puree into a saucepan Bring to a boil, then turn down to low and simmer. Stir frequently. It's ready when it thickens to a consistency you like. Allow to cool before using. As above, this can be used as a sandwich filler, cracker spread or used as a cake filling.

TL;DR in English: Peel the banana and cut into slices. Place the slices and chunks into the blender. Blend or process until smooth. Use within 24 hours and store in the refrigerator if not using immediately.

In order for you to feel capable and successful, you need to find a job that plays to your strengths. Make a list of your skills, experience, and other qualifications, and look for jobs that match. If you are a very shy and introverted person, you may never feel comfortable working as a motivational speaker or a sales professional. Focus on jobs that require a bit less in terms of assertiveness and interpersonal communication. Examples of jobs that are best for shy people include:  programmer financial clerk scientist writer manager of web content Remember that the job itself is only part of the equation; ideally, you also want to find a work environment in which you’ll feel comfortable. For any job posting you see, try to find out what the company culture is like. If, for example, you’re interested in a programmer position but find that the company in question is very fast paced and stresses collaboration and frequent meetings, you may decide not to apply. The company website is a good place to start; read its “about us” and “careers” pages to glean what the company is, how it operates, and what it expects from its employees. In addition, try:  conducting a keyword search of the company on the internet. Doing so will help you uncover reviews and articles about a particular company. You may wind up with a better understanding of how a company runs and whether its employees are happy. viewing company and employee social media pages. The company’s social media profiles may provide additional information about the company. Employees’ profiles can be especially helpful, as they may suggest whether the company attracts people with similar personalities, interests, and abilities. Ask yourself whether you would feel comfortable working with those people. Once you have determined which potential jobs you might feel happy at, apply! Do not pass up an opportunity because you lack confidence or are worried you will come across as shy and introverted in interviews. Take the first step, and send in your application. If...

TL;DR in English: Search for jobs that match your strengths. Focus on jobs that will feel comfortable for you. Research potential employers. Apply for desired jobs with confidence. Begin networking.

This classic Southern dish is hearty, tasty, and filling. The protein and fiber in the beans pair with the carbohydrates in the rice to make a meal that's completely satisfying on its own. However, you can also serve with gumbo, jambalaya, or spicy sausage for a true Deep South feast! This popular, spicy stew is perhaps the most famous recipe for using red kidney beans in the world. Traditionally served with meat ("con carne"), chili can be served in virtually endless ways. Try it with an assortment of veggies for a vegetarian treat or pair it with a serving of cornbread for a classic American frontier dish. If you're using dry beans for this recipe, you'll want to cook them until they're most of the way done on their own, then transfer them to the chili pot with the liquid ingredients. This prevents them from over- or under- cooking. If you're using canned beans, add them near the end of the cooking process. . Bean soup is delicious, nutritious, and easy to make — all you need are beans, water, and your favorite vegetables and seasonings to make a full-fledged meal. You can also add ham (or ham flavoring) for a classic combination, though sausage, chicken, beef, and other meats work just as well. There's no "right" way to make bean soup, so feel free to get creative! Here is a great recipe to get you started.  If you're using dry beans, you can add the other ingredients to the pot the beans are cooking in as soon as they're most of the way cooked. If you're looking for inspiration, a can of diced tomatoes makes a great addition to almost any bean soup. Plus, it will do wonders for the presentation, turning the greyish water to a pleasant brownish-orange. Have a few different types of canned beans handy? Drain them, wash them, and toss them together with a little olive oil and salt for a low-calorie salad that's also a great source of protein and fiber. You can try adding chopped red onions, tomatoes, and corn to add tangy flavor, but the great thing bean salad is that it's usually great on its own, too!...

TL;DR in English: Try making red beans and rice. Try making chili. Try making bean soup Try making a cold bean salad. Try making a bean dip or hummus.

You can meditate anywhere, but it's best to find a quiet place free of distractions. If you're at work and you have an office, try closing the door. If you don't have your own space, you can go for a walk on your lunch break and find a peaceful place away from the office.  If possible, reduce distractions by silencing your cellphone and turning off your computer. Try and find someplace you can be alone for 5 to 10 minutes. If you can't find a quiet space indoors, you might want to try sitting outside (if the weather permits it). Comfort is very important when you meditate. There's no prescribed position; it's just crucial that you get into a position that helps you relax.  When some people think of seated meditation, they picture a meditation master sitting in perfect lotus position with the legs crossed. If this is comfortable for you, then go ahead, but if not just find what makes you relaxed. You can try sitting with your legs crossed, sitting in a regular chair or on a bench, or even lying flat on the floor. If you're comfortable (and feel safe) closing your eyes, then go ahead. If not, keep your eyes open but try to focus on a point on the ground just in front of you. Deep breathing is at the heart of meditation. Concentrate on the sensation of breathing, and try to block out any other thoughts. Any time you find your mind wandering or your thoughts racing, simply return your focus to your breath.  Don't take shallow breaths in your chest; instead, take deep breaths that go all the way down to your diaphragm (below the ribs). Feel the air flow through your nostrils and into your lungs. Notice the sensation of your belly rising and falling with each inhalation and exhalation. You can either set a timer for 5 to 10 minutes, or simply breathe until you feel a sense of calm come over you. You can take these little meditation breaks anytime and any place when you need to calm down and quiet an anxious mind. When you're finished, slowly open your eyes. Don't get up right away; give your eyes and your mind a...

The decking should rest about 1/2 inch away from the edge of the pool to allow for expansion.  Adjust the edges of the board that rest near the pool wall with a jigsaw as needed. Use spacers between decking boards to allow for drainage and expansion. 1/4" or 3/8" spacers are common, but you can use 1/2" spacers if more expansion is expected. Look at the place where the decking meets the exterior edge of the perimeter supports. Use a circular saw to trim any spots where the decking juts out over the supports.

TL;DR in English: Install 2" x 6" decking from the outside support of the pool.

You should have already read the text for class, but if you’re studying for an exam, make sure you go back and re-read it to catch things you missed out on the first time. Many authors use techniques such as metaphors, similes, and personification to emphasize their points. These may be crucial to understanding the literary work you’re reading: for example, knowing that the white whale in Moby-Dick represents (among other things) Captain Ahab’s hubris is essential to being able to understand Melville’s novel.    Metaphors make direct comparisons between two seemingly dissimilar things. They are stronger than similes. For example, the last line of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby is a famous metaphor comparing human lives to boats trying to make progress against a strong current: “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”  Similes also make comparisons, but they don’t directly state that “x” is “y”. For example, Margaret Mitchell uses a simile to describe Scarlett O’Hara’s interest in Ashley Wilkes with a simile in her novel Gone With the Wind: “The very mystery of him excited her curiosity like a door that had neither lock nor key.”  Personification occurs when a non-human animal or object is given human characteristics in order to express an idea more powerfully. For example, Emily Dickinson frequently uses personification in her poems, as in this poem about a snake: “A narrow fellow in the grass / occasionally rides; / You may have met him, -- did you not, / His notice sudden is.” Here, the snake is a “narrow fellow” who “rides” in the grass, which makes it seem almost like a dashing Victorian gentleman, rather than a reptile. The way that an author expresses her or his ideas is often as important as the ideas themselves. In many cases, the form and structure of the text will have some kind of influence on its subject matter.  If you’re reading fiction, think about the order in which the events are recounted. Are there flashbacks or places in the narrative...

TL;DR in English: Re-read your text. Look for figurative language. Consider the structure of your text. Think about character archetypes. Think about situational archetypes. Consider how action develops from conflict.

Even Jesus followed His conscience (Mark 2:8). You should follow Him first before expecting your prayers being met. John 15:7 says, "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." For your conscience to be a good guide, you must avoid associating with sinners or it will contaminate your spirit (2 Corinthians 7:1). 1 John 5:14-15 says, "And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us..." You can pray for wisdom (Ephesians 1:17).  James 1:5 shows that God wants you to have wisdom and He wants you to have it in abundance but you must ask in faith. You don't have to be on your knees. God gets your prayer anyway, though you must be in a state of reverence. Start with saying, "Dear God," or "Dear Lord" You must show willingness to leave everything for Jesus just like Abraham showed willingness to give his only son to God. God happily gave his son back to him. But a certain wealthy man turned away when he asked Jesus and Jesus told him to sell all he has. He denied Jesus. James 4:3 says, "Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss..." You can then end with, "In Jesus name I pray. Amen"

TL;DR in English: Recognize that the primary way that God will lead you is through your conscience and the Bible (Romans 8:14-16, John 17:17). Avoid all that sinful. Ask God for Guidance (Jeremiah 33:3, James 1:5, John 16:13). Be still (Psalms 46:10). Address Jesus. Ask what He would like you to do. Ask for forgiveness for your sins.

The only way to truly stop passing judgment is to know when you are doing it in the first place. If you are disconnected from your self-talk, you’ll have trouble reframing it. Spend some time tuning it to your judgments of yourself and others. Listen to your thoughts for a full week. Notice the situations when you are most likely to judge. Question why you decided to do this. Keep a log so that you can identify patterns in your judging behavior. Sometimes, what bothers you about others is something that bothers you about yourself. When you are unhappy with some aspect yourself, you are more likely to project this dissatisfaction onto others. As you start keeping a log of judgments and criticisms, try to find the underlying connections. For instance, you judge a coworker for being late, but you do so because you secretly envy how carefree this person is. You often wish you had the nerve to break a rule. When you spot connections between your judgments of others and your own flaws, be willing to acknowledge these shortcomings and forgive. Self-forgiveness is often just as important as granting forgiveness to others. Show compassion to yourself when you judge and stop being so hard on yourself for engaging in an entirely “human” behavior. You might give yourself a hug and say, “I know that I must be hurting to judge my friend so harshly. I forgive myself for judging. I also forgive myself for ignoring my own pain. I am paying attention now.” One of the primary ways people verbally judge others is through gossip. Often gossiping appears harmless, a way to forge a bond with others. But do you really want to get closer to one person by driving a wedge between you and another? Probably not. Stop gossiping and keep your distance from those who tend to do it. The internet can bring out the judgmental attitude in anyone. You may find yourself judging "friends" on your social media feed or criticizing celebrities and politicians. If this brings out your judgmental side, bring awareness to the problem and reduce your...

For a few days, keep a log of everything you normally consume. Read the labels of everything you eat and drink, and note the total calories and fat content per serving for each item. Add up the total calories and calories from fat that you consume per day.  Keep a written list of the items you consume and how much of them you're consuming or track them using a calorie counting app. For items that don’t have labels, such as produce or meat, search online or on your tracking app for calorie and fat estimates. Look up the daily amount of calories recommended for your age, sex, height, weight, and activity level. Compare your recommended intake with the numbers in your food log. This will give you an idea of how many calories to cut from your diet.  For example, suppose you’ve been consuming around 3500 calories per day. If your recommended daily caloric intake is 2500, aim to cut around 1000 calories from your diet. Use MyPlate’s calculator to find your recommended daily caloric intake at https://www.choosemyplate.gov/MyPlate-Daily-Checklist-input. Enter your age, sex, height, weight, and activity level. The calculator will list how many calories you should consume to maintain your current weight and how many you should cut from your diet to get to a healthy weight. Reduce your caloric intake slowly, even if you’re consuming hundreds of calories more than your recommended amount. Try reducing your calories by around 150 per day. You’ll have an easier time adjusting to your new diet, and you’ll be more likely to stick with it.  Don’t cut your calories drastically or consume fewer calories than the estimate you found on MyPlate. For example, if you need 2500 calories per day to meet your basic needs, consuming 1000 per day wouldn’t provide your body with the fuel it needs.  Additionally, your body might interpret a sudden drop in caloric intake as a sign it should store more fat. Your body evolved this fat-storing response in order to deal with periods when food is scarce. Plan your portions and meals to ensure...

TL;DR in English: Calculate how many calories you currently consume. Find out your recommended daily calorie allowance. Lower your calorie consumption gradually. Control your portion sizes. Track your portions and calories in a journal or with an app. Swap sugary and whole-fat beverages for lower-calorie options. Replace high-calorie foods with filling, low-calorie options.

While some commercial and industrial positions are available to college graduates with a bachelor's degree, most scientists have at least a master's and more likely a doctorate. Graduate programs are geared more toward original research and development of new theories, working with a professor or other scientists, and possibly using cutting-edge technology. Most graduate programs take at least 4 years, and possibly longer, depending on the nature of the research. At this time, you'll have to declare a specialty – something that greatly narrows down the field and allows you to have a concentration. This will make your work more unique and your field of competition smaller. In grad school, you'll need to look for a research internship for your specific area of interest. The amount of professors that are working on something that speaks to you is going to be quite small – which means you'll likely have to go elsewhere to find it. Your professors and your school in general will be very helpful tools in finding which internships exist and where. Tap into all the connections you've made to find something that fits you like a glove. Post-doctoral programs provide additional training in whatever specialty you've chosen as a scientist. Originally lasting 2 years, these programs now usually last at least 4 years and possibly longer, depending on the field of study and other factors. In addition to this, you'll be doing 3 or so years of post-doctorate research after this. It's common for scientists to go through 4 years of undergrad, around 5 years of higher education, and 3 years of research, which means it'll be a solid 12 years of training. After you complete your undergraduate education, you'll likely be given a stipend or paycheck as you work through the remainder of your training. During your decade and more of education (and your career), it's wise to keep up-to-date in your field and related others by attending conferences and reading peer-reviewed journals. Science is constantly changing – in the blink of an...

Resist the urge to cover up with baggy clothes, which can look sloppy and throw off your body’s proportions. Clothes that are too tight are no better. The trick is to invest in clothes that fit you just right.  If you don’t know your sizes, ask an employee at a clothing store for recommendations. If you’re self-conscious, it may be more comfortable to shop at a men's store that specializes in big and tall sizes. Be sure to choose clothes that fit you right now. You may have to buy new items in the future if you lose or gain weight in the future, but well-fitting clothes can help you look your best in the present. A v-neck collar helps elongate the face and neckline, so look for that collar shape when you’re shopping for t-shirts and sweaters. Crew neck collars, on the other hand, don’t draw the eyes down and can exaggerate a round face shape. Crisp, quality v-neck t-shirts are super versatile. You could wear a v-neck and linen slacks to a barbecue or pair one with a blazer for a business casual look. The distance between a dress shirt’s collar points is called the spread. When you shop for button-ups, look for shirts with widely spread collar points to balance out a broader face and neck.  Ideally, go for collar spreads wider than a right angle. Look where the collar points meet at the top button and form an angle. That angle should be greater than 90 degrees. Narrow collars look out of proportion with broad features. Next to a narrow collar, a broad face and neck look wider. Straight-legged pants can help balance out the proportions of your legs, waist, and stomach. Pants that are as wide at the bottom as at the thigh are especially great if you have a larger midsection but smaller legs. Boot-cut pants with a subtle flare at the ankle could also work, but you generally don’t want to go with full-on bell-bottoms (unless that’s your style!).  Tapered jeans (such as skinny jeans) with wider thighs and thinner ankles can make your legs look disproportionately small and exaggerate your midsection. Pleats can add...

Persuasive essays generally have a very clear format, which helps you present your argument in a clear and compelling way. Here are the elements of persuasive essays:  An introduction. You should present a “hook” here that grabs your audience’s attention. You should also provide your thesis statement, which is a clear statement of what you will argue or attempt to convince the reader of. Body paragraphs. In 5-paragraph essays, you’ll have 3 body paragraphs. In other essays, you can have as many paragraphs as you need to make your argument. Regardless of their number, each body paragraph needs to focus on one main idea and provide evidence to support it. These paragraphs are also where you refute any counterpoints that you’ve discovered. Conclusion. Your conclusion is where you tie it all together. It can include an appeal to emotions, reiterate the most compelling evidence, or expand the relevance of your initial idea to a broader context. Because your purpose is to persuade your readers to do/think something, end with a call to action. Connect your focused topic to the broader world. Your hook is a first sentence that draws the reader in. Your hook can be a question or a quotation, a fact or an anecdote, a definition or a humorous sketch. As long as it makes the reader want to continue reading, or sets the stage, you've done your job.  For example, you could start an essay on the necessity of pursuing alternative energy sources like this: “Imagine a world without polar bears.” This is a vivid statement that draws on something that many readers are familiar with and enjoy (polar bears). It also encourages the reader to continue reading to learn why they should imagine this world. You may find that you don’t immediately have a hook. Don’t get stuck on this step! You can always press on and come back to it after you’ve drafted your essay. Many people believe that your introduction is the most important part of the essay because it either grabs or loses the reader's attention. A good introduction will tell the...

TL;DR in English: Outline your essay. Come up with your hook. Write an introduction. Structure your body paragraphs. Use the last sentence of each body paragraph to transition to the next paragraph. Add a rebuttal or counterargument. Write your conclusion at the very end of your essay.

(4.9 ml) of cayenne pepper and place it in a mug. Use less cayenne and work your way up to 1 teaspoon if the full amount is too strong or too hot. If you have not used cayenne on a regular basis, you might find a full teaspoon difficult. Try to use water that has almost reached the boiling point. You will notice flakes of the cayenne pepper floating in the water, which is fine. Stir the lemon juice into the tea. Once it has cooled to the point that you can hold the mug without burning your hands, it is ready to drink. Sip it slowly until it is gone. People who drink it in the morning find they have more energy and a faster metabolism throughout the day. Some people drink it before a workout for an additional energy boost. Some people put fresh, peeled ginger in the bottom of the mug and allow it to steep in the hot water before adding the cayenne and the lemon. Ginger can help eliminate harmful bacteria in your body. Try adding molasses or Stevia if you want to sweeten your tea without sugar or sugar substitutes.

TL;DR in English: Measure 1 tsp. Pour hot water over the cayenne. Stir the cayenne and the water until it is dissolved. Add the juice from half a lemon to the cup. Let the tea cool for 1 or 2 minutes before sipping. Taste the cayenne pepper tea. Add other ingredients if you desire.

This is probably among the easiest hand softening rubs to make as the ingredients are commonly found in most homes or easily purchased at local stores. Mix 1 teaspoon of sugar with a few drops of olive oil. Use as many drops as it takes to form a mixture you can rub into your palm until the sugar blends with your skin. Because there are large varieties of oatmeal, you might have to experiment a bit to find the right combination, but the basic process is the same as with sugar. Mix a couple teaspoons of oatmeal and few drops of olive oil. Rub the mixture on your palms until it blends in with your hand. Let the rub set on your hands for fifteen minutes before washing it off. These should be two readily accessible ingredients for a hand-softening rub. Combine two teaspoons of butter with one teaspoon of almond oil for the mixture to rub on your hands. Let the rub sit for 20 minutes before washing. These also should be relatively easy ingredients to gather at home or from a store to produce a rub to soften your hands within a week. For this rub you will need to mix one teaspoon of honey, half a teaspoon of almond powder, and a few drops of rose water to form the product. However, it is essential that you make sure this rub is evenly distributed on your palms with several minutes of rubbing and then leave it on your hands for an additional ten minutes before washing it off. Glycerin can usually be bought at a pharmacy/drugstore.   For this rub, you should make a fresh batch every time you use it and not store it for later use. Mix equal parts of the glycerin, rose water, and lemon (one teaspoon each) for this rub and leave it on long enough to dry. This is one of the simpler solutions you can try at home for softer hands in a week. Take a half-slice of lemon, pour sugar onto the juicy part, and rub the juicy/sugar part onto your palms until the sugar has dissolved. Repeat for the other hand. Among the more accessible solutions is this one, but you will need to keep the rub on for 20 minutes before washing. To...

TL;DR in English: Combine olive oil and sugar. Use olive oil and oatmeal. Try the butter and almond oil remedy. Consider the remedy of rose water, honey, and almond powder. Try some remedies like glycerin, rose water, and lemon. Mix lemon and sugar. Mix honey and sugar. Consider the combination of tomato juice, glycerin and lime juice. Consider using a baby powder/bath salt combination. Combine almonds and sandalwood oil. Wash off each/any of the rubs you applied.

This could harm her or dye her mouth. Watch her for signs of licking and distract her until the habit is formed. Her skin is just as sensitive as ours.

If you want her to keep her vibrant looks, apply the dye as needed. If she suddenly stops eating, become aggressive, bites or licks her fur, consider removing the dye or taking her to the vet.

TL;DR in English: Avoid letting your pet lick the dye. Watch for an allergic reaction. Acknowledge color fading. Observe behavioral changes in your pet.

Once your weaknesses are identified, you need a plan to beat them. Set goals for yourself with time limits. Under each goal, create actionable steps that allow you to stay on track and succeed.  For example, if your public speaking skills are weak, make it a goal that you can give a confident presentation. You can plan out actionable steps like writing a speech, delivering the speech to an empty room, then to one person, then to several people. Eventually, you’ll be confident enough to deliver the speech to a public audience. Tell other people about your goals to make yourself accountable for them. You may even ask a trusted friend or mentor to be an accountability partner. They should check in every now and then to see how far you have progressed. While you are working to overcome a weakness, work on things you are good at, too. This will keep your confidence up and help you get back to work overcoming the weaknesses. It also keeps you looking competent and skilled while you build your skillset even more. For example, if you are really good at writing speeches, you could help others write their speeches until you feel comfortable delivering your own. Your weaknesses are called weaknesses for a reason. It takes hard work and dedication to overcome them. Even if you fall short of a goal, acknowledge any progress that you did make. This will keep you in a positive frame of mind and help you pick up and continue overcoming the weakness.  Even if you haven’t mastered the art of speaking to large crowds, give yourself credit when you speak up in a meeting or give a presentation to your colleagues. Celebrate all of your successes. You can do this by taking photographs to commemorate them, making social media posts, or going out to dinner with friends.

TL;DR in English:


Instruct the remaining players to reveal their cards for the Showdown. Announce the winning hand clearly. Push the pot to the player with the strongest hand. Pass the dealer button to the player on your left to begin the next hand.

After enough time has passed and you feel that you both got some perspective, you should start giving your ex the opportunity to see you having a great time. Starting going to the parties where he goes, or run into him with a friend at his favorite coffee shop or bar. Don't be too obvious about it, but let him see you with your other friends and remember how much fun it is to hang out with you.  If you know you'll see him, look your best without being too obvious that you're dressing up for him.  When you do run into him, greet him with a smile and a surprised look -- you were so busy having fun that you didn't even think about the possibility of him being around. This doesn't work for everyone, but if you think that having your ex see you with another guy, or just flirting with a group of guys, will make him want to be around you even more than go for it. This doesn't mean you should get another boyfriend just to make him jealous. Just let him see you flirting, tossing your hair back, or even getting on the dance floor with another guy or two. Don't go too far with this one. If he thinks you're actually dating someone else, he may back off. Or who knows -- that might make him want you even more. Without being too obvious, post some photos of you having a great time with your friends, you at the beach, or even you hanging out with a few guys. This will make your ex remember how great you look and feel sad that he doesn't hang out with you anymore. Don't post anything too often -- just once or twice a week to remind him of how amazing you are. Pick a time when you know he's likely to be online -- if you know his schedule, you'll have a sense of when he's most likely to look at your pics. Start making your relationship a bit more friendly. Move on from the casual hello to a short conversation, and then even stick around and chat with him for ten or even twenty minutes. Make sure you always say goodbye first, though, and don't make him linger longer than he wants to. This will make him even more sad to see you...

TL;DR in English: Let your ex see you having a great time without him. Make him jealous (optional). Make him jealous on social media. Start hanging out with him a bit. Let him see how you've changed. Read the signs. Slowly start to date again.

Most high schools have an orientation period where you can visit the school. While you're at orientation, try talking to other people to see if you have any common interests. For example, you could say, "Hi! I'm John. So are you starting here, too? I'm going to be in the band. What about you?" Most high schools have a wide variety of clubs and activities for you to join, based on your interest. The best thing about joining clubs is you'll meet other teens with the same interest, which gives you something to talk about.  For instance, maybe you want to join the speech club or the art club, or maybe you want to be a part of the marching band or the choir. You'll find other teens who love art or music, just like you.  If you don't see a club you like, ask your administrators about starting a club around that interest. Just make sure it's school-appropriate before asking. You'll probably need a teacher to sponsor you, as well. That is, the more often you see the same group of people, the more familiar you become to those people. Over time, you'll start to become closer and closer to people in that group. Try to sit with the same group of people at lunch, for instance. Alternatively, the group can be people you sit with in class or people you see in one of your clubs or activities. Some teens probably came up to high school from middle school with you. Try to meet up with old friends, even ones you weren't that close to. You may find you have more in common now that you are in high school. When you see an old friend in the hallway, be sure to say hello. Ask about a time to hang out, or see if you can do homework together to catch up on old times.

TL;DR in English: Start early. Join clubs. Make sure to see the same people. Stay in touch with old friends.

This is where you will make your fully customized Cassia obovata mix. Research the pros and cons of each liquid before mixing and decide which one will provide your desired effect. You can use anything from Chamomile tea to hot water or even champagne! If you're short on time, try chamomile tea for a fast dye release. If you have a lot of time, try lemon juice for a rich stain. The liquid does not have to be acidic, but most people find acidic mixes stain better. While this step is optional, it's fun and potentially rewarding to experiment with different herbs for scent, tone and conditioning that suits your own hair type. Some suggestions include:  Unbleached chamomile leaves can be a great blonde booster. Cinnamon can add warm red or auburn tones. Powdered cloves can mask the cassia scent. Rhubarb root, like cassia, contains a large amount of Chrysophanic acid, which makes it stain yellow so it's great to enhance the blonde. This will also stain your hands or clothes, so take care!

TL;DR in English: Put the powder in a large bowl. Mix in a liquid. Add in other herbs.

If you are married, and your spouse provides the income for the family, this requirement is satisfied. If you are employed and report that place of employment as part of your application, immigration officials may visit your place of employment to confirm whatever information you report. Officially, you must give up your citizenship in some other country when applying.  Japan does not allow individuals to retain dual citizenship in order to avoid any potential...

Traditionally, the last player to bet or raise during the final round is the first to put down their cards. After that, the Showdown proceeds around the table clockwise. If everyone chose to check in the final round, the player to your immediate left will automatically be designated as the first to show. During the Showdown, players also have the option of “mucking,” or surrendering their hand without turning their cards over. Players who muck aren’t eligible to win the pot. Hands follow the same basic value rankings in Texas Hold 'em as in most other popular versions of poker. Be sure to point out where the victorious player’s cards trump the other players’ so that there won’t be any doubt or confusion.  Keep in mind that aces are both high and low in Texas Hold 'em, meaning they can be played before a 2 or after a King in a straight. Now that the hand has ended, the victor is free to collect their winnings. After presenting the pot, turn your hands over to show that you haven’t secretly palmed any chips. This is a sign of good faith among amateur players, who typically place bets in addition to dealing. In the event of a tie, the pot should be “chopped,” or split evenly among the players with the highest hands. The player who was the Small Blind in the previous round will now serve as the new dealer. In this way, the roles of dealer, Small Blind, and Big Blind will continue to rotate around the table so that every player gets a turn. If at any point a player decides to withdraw from the game before their turn as dealer, the person to their left becomes the next dealer in line.

TL;DR in English:


Choose someone you admire. Draw ideas from pop culture. Make it believable.

Insert the needle through the wrong (back) side of the canvas. Choose a space at the top left of your canvas or at the top left of a block of color. Bring the needle through a space on the right (front) side of the canvas that is diagonally-adjacent to the stitch on the right side. Then, repeat the same stitch to create a stitch alongside your first stitch.  Work from left to right in a row across the canvas, and then work the stitch back along the row in the opposite direction. As you sew the second row, the second diagonal stitch should go through a space that already has thread going through it. This will help to reduce the visible canvas behind the thread. Insert the needle into the space where you want to begin working the continental stitch. Then, bring the needle up diagonally and down through the stitch adjacent and to the right of that stitch. Then, come up through the next space in the row beside where you started the stitch.  Continue to work across the row going from right to left. Then, work back along the next row going from left to right. Make sure to insert the needle through spaces that already have 1 stitch in them on your second row. Work this stitch diagonally starting at the top right hand corner of the area. Bring the needle down through the space that is diagonal to this space. Then, bring the needle back up through the space that is diagonally adjacent to this stitch, and repeat the stitch. This stitch creates a pyramid like stitch design. It allows good coverage of the canvas with the least distortion and should be used in large areas. Insert your needle through the canvas where you want to begin the stitch. Bring the thread all the way through the canvas and pull it taut. Then, insert the needle into the second stitch up from where you brought the needle out. Bring the needle back through the canvas next to where you started the first stitch.  Use a thick thread, yarn, or multi-strand piece of embroidery floss to create the brick stitch. You can also try the Bargello or long point...

TL;DR in English: Do a half-cross stitch for a simple stitch that covers a small area. Use the continental stitch to provide more coverage over an area. Try basketweave stitch to provide full coverage over large areas. Do the brick stitch for a vertical stitch with good coverage.

Your non-dominant hand, which for the purpose of this example will be referred to as the left hand, should be suspended over your leg. Hold the spoons in your right hand. Position your right hand between your left hand and leg. Remember that your left hand should be about 5 inches or so above your leg. You will create a clacking, rhythmic noise with your spoons by striking them down into your leg and up into your left hand. Lightly tap your spoons several times slowly until you feel comfortable with the grip. You can create different tones with your spoons by striking different parts against your left hand or leg. The two main striking points are the tip, which is the rounded end of the spoon opposite the end of the handle, and the cup of the spoon, which is the hollow part.  Striking the tip of your spoons up into your left hand or down into your leg will create a lighter, brighter sound in your spoons. Hitting the cup of your spoon up into your left hand or down into your leg will creates a stronger, more accented sound. When attempting to strike the tip of your spoons, you may find it easiest to hold your left hand at a slight angle, so that you can bring the tip of your spoon up into the meaty part of your hand where the thumb joins the palm. This posture will help prevent you from hitting too much of the cup of the spoon, creating a louder clacking. Cup strikes will be flatter against your leg and left hand. Strike one cup against your leg, and then bring it up into the meaty part of your hand, where the thumb joins your palm. Both strikes should be as flat as possible to create the strong, accented tone of a cup strike. At first, you’ll probably want to do this slowly. This will ensure you keep your spoons gripped correctly while coordinating the different strikes. Repeat the earlier exercise where you accented the second and fourth beats of your rhythm, only this time use a clap strike to accent and your tip strike on beats one and two.  As you become more comfortable, try different patterns. You might...

TL;DR in English: Return your hands to the starting position with your spoons in hand. Practice the motion of striking your spoons. Identify the two main striking points on your spoons. Master tip strikes with your spoons. Perfect your cup strikes. Alternate your cup and tip strikes.

You will need a mirror, a tape measure or ruler with metric markings, a pen, and some paper. This process will be easier with a fixed mirror rather than a handheld one. You can also ask a friend to help if you are comfortable doing so. Look into the mirror and identify the teeth that have gaps in between them. Make notes about the appearance of your gaps and why you would like to fix them. Also make notes on any other imperfections that you would like to fix along with your gaps (tooth size, color, straightness, chips, etc.). Using the tape measure or ruler, measure the space in between your teeth that have gaps. Write down the measurements in millimeters. These measurements and appearance notes will help you to determine what dental treatment will benefit you the most. The imperfections that you have identified will also help you dentist when deciding on your best treatment option.

TL;DR in English: Gather materials. Inspect your teeth. Measure your gaps. Save your notes.

from broken cake pieces for a lovely layered dessert. Layer pieces of the cake in a large trifle dish or mixing bowl. Add a sprinkling of alcohol for flavor, if you wish, then add layers of things like pudding, frosting, fruit, mousse, or whipped cream in any combination. As you layer, add enough of each ingredient to spread it across the dish. Repeat layering until all the cake is used up. Make the top look extra special. Create a smooth layer on top with whipped cream or frosting, then top with chocolate curls or sprinkles for decoration. Frosting will hide small cracks perfectly. If it's severely cracked, use a little frosting to try to "glue" the pieces back together; do this by spreading the frosting down into the crack and pressing it back together. Then cover the whole cake top with a thin layer of slightly softened frosting, creating a crumb layer.  Let this set, then add a second, thicker layer of icing for decoration. If done well, it'll be hard to even notice it was cracked.  Don't overdo the frosting crack infill though; too much frosting will make the whole experience sugary and unpleasant to eat. If the cake just has cracks on top, you can always just use the bottom as the top. That way, you have a nice, smooth surface to work with. The base will be less firm though, so don't be surprised if it crumbles on the plate; this solution is best for home use. Another option is to level the cake by slicing off a thin layer at the top to make it smooth. Use a bread knife to cut an even layer across the top. Melt milk, dark, or white chocolate or candy melts and pour the melted chocolate onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate out thinly. Let it cool for 30 minutes, then crumble the cake over it in an even, thin layer. Press the cake into the melted layer. Spread another layer of chocolate on top and let it cool. The chocolate and cake will set together. To serve, break into individual pieces.

TL;DR in English: Make a trifle Cover a cracked cake with frosting to hide its imperfection. Flip a cracked cake over to create a smooth top. Create cake bark from the broken cake for a fun treat.

Is Captain America your idea of a virtuous hero? Or do you prefer the wily tactics and sinuous stealth of Black Widow or Catwoman? Maybe your taste runs more toward Harry Potter or Elizabeth from "Pride and Prejudice." Whatever you decide, make sure your costume is something you'll enjoy representing. These are some examples of characters you can portray for Halloween, taken from well-known books, movies and music: Cruella de Vil, Elsa, Flash Gordon, Spider-man, Luke Skywalker, Shrek or Fiona, Elvis, Belle or the Beast, an Egyptian mummy, Dorothy or another character from "The Wizard of Oz," Cinderella, Snow White, Aladdin, Captain Hook or Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, the Cat in the Hat, Mary Poppins, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, a witch or a vampire. If you choose to dress up as Elvis, for example, think of what people associate most with the King of Rock 'n' Roll. A white jumpsuit with colorful rhinestones would look great with some matching platform shoes. And don't forget that shiny black hair!

TL;DR in English:
