Wash your hands thoroughly. Chill the eggs (optional). Set up three bowls. Crack the egg. Let the whites drip through your fingers. Drop the yolk into the last bowl.

Hold your four dominant fingers together and hit the head of the tambourine in the top or bottom third of the tambourine. Play a simple standard strike to whatever beat or rhythm the accompanying music requires. Striking the tambourine in the center usually produces a muddled tone. Hold the tambourine in your non-dominant hand and hit the head with a snare drumstick. Use more pressure while you hit the head for a louder sound and vice versa for softer. Hold the tambourine at a slight angle from horizontal, and curl your four dominant fingers into a fist. Press your thumb against the tambourine's head and drag it in a circular motion. This should cause the zils, or metal cymbals, to make a sustained jingling sound. Thumb rolls are ideal for short jingling sounds but, if you need something longer than a few seconds, a shake roll will work better. Hold the tambourine vertically in front of you and twist it back and forth with your non-dominant hand. Shake it as quickly or as slowly as you want depending on the rhythm you're trying to achieve.

TL;DR in English: Try a standard strike. Beat a snare drumstick against the tambourine for a louder sound. Do a thumb roll for a continuous sound instead of a rhythm. Use a shake roll for longer periods of time than a thumb roll.

Different materials require different types of paint, and plastic typically needs a special type of spray paint. The wrong type of paint may blister, bubble, flake, or just won’t adhere properly to the surface. Look for spray paints that are specifically formulated for plastic surfaces, or that are suitable for plastics. Companies that make spray paint for plastic include Krylon, Valspar, and Rustoleum.

TL;DR in English: Choose the right paint.

Before you can place any international call, you need to dial a set of numbers that signifies to the telephone carrier that the phone number following it will be for someone in another country.  For instance, in the United States, the exit code is “011.” Someone calling India from the United States would need to dial “011” before dialing the rest of the phone number. Example: 011-xx-xx-xxxx-xxxx Every country also has an international code that signifies to every telephone carrier that a specific international call should be directed to a specific country. Each country has its own country code, and India's country code is “91.” Example: 011-91-xx-xxxx-xxxx The area code for a land line in India can be two to four digits and varies by region. The area code for a cell phone in India is almost always "9" or “09,” but it can also be "7" or "8."  The only way to know the area code for a cell phone in India with absolute certainty is to know it as part of the phone number. You can determine the area code for a land line in India simply by knowing the region that the telephone number connects to.

An exercise program requires more than going to the gym and doing random workouts. Targeted workouts that train specific muscle groups on a regular schedule build muscle more effectively. Design a weekly schedule that mixes in 3-5 exercises for every workout session/ Be consistent with this schedule every week.  Let your muscle groups rest for 24-48 hours between workouts. If you train your biceps on Monday, wait until Wednesday to train them again. A sample workout schedule is biceps and back on Monday, triceps and chest on Tuesday, legs and back on Wednesday, and rest day on Thursday. While it may seem counterproductive, resting is very important for building muscles. Exercising causes tears in your muscles. If you work out every day without a rest, these tears won’t heal. Schedule in 2 rest days every week so your muscles heal properly.  Don’t take more than 3 rest days per week, though, unless you’re injured or sick. If you still want to be active on your rest days, try taking a walk or riding your bike. These activities keep you moving without stressing your sore muscles. This helps you visualize your progress and keep track of your workouts. Use a notebook and write down the date and the activities you do for every workout. Note down how much weight you used and how many reps you did. Use this information to increase your workout intensity as you improve.  Also note how you felt during each workout. Writing “hard” next to one workout could tell you that you should ease off that activity or use a lighter weight. Taking a “before” picture is helpful too. Before you start your new workout regimen, take a picture of yourself in the mirror without a shirt on. Then take another picture at the end of every month so see the physical changes in your body. While cardio workouts are important for well-rounded health, they could also inhibit your ability to build muscle. Running, swimming, and hard cycling burn calories and protein that your body needs for muscle growth. If you do a lot of cardio, replace these...

TL;DR in English: Develop a workout schedule and stick to it. Schedule 2 rest days per week so your muscles can recover. Track your progress by logging your workouts. Prioritize strength-building exercises over cardio. Start with light weights when you’re just beginning.

Once you've climbed and scrabbled your way to the top, it's important to stay busy. Celebrities come and go, grabbing their 15 minutes of fame and disappearing just as quickly. But real stars can learn to negotiate their careers to string it into a lifetime of challenging, engaging, and exciting work that people will enjoy watching and living vicariously through for years to come.  If you’re an actor, take on diverse roles and do things that will challenge your fans’ conception of you as a performer. Think of Sean Penn in Milk, Daniel Day-Lewis in My Left Foot, and Charlize Theron in Monster. If you’re a musician or another kind of performer, challenge yourself to keep the consistency of your music high. Take time on your recordings and on your performances. Don't go for the cheap and commercial buck. If you're a politician, diversify your interests and be willing to change with the times. Embrace causes that will have you on the right side of history, rather than chasing votes with minute-by-minute opinion poles. Have integrity. If you're an athlete, stay focused on keeping in shape and keeping your game at the highest possible level. Don't get distracted by clubbing, updating your social networking, or doing things that happen off the field. Be the best. Stardom can be a heavy crown to bear and even strong and talented people can fold under the spotlight. Learning to negotiate stardom is a challenge that you should seek head-on and come to terms with as quickly as possible. Learn to share your time in exchange for your celebrity.  Learn the name of the reporters you work with on a regular basis and talk to them as you'd talk to anyone. Don't get a big head about the "little" people. If you're followed by paparazzi, give them five minutes of time in exchange for some privacy later on in the night. Throw the dogs a bone. Public flame-outs, like those which Charlie Sheen, John Edwards, and Chad "Ocho-Cinco" Johnson have suffered, are difficult to bounce back from. Learn to recognize when you might need a break...

TL;DR in English: Continue challenging yourself in your work. Maintain a healthy relationship with the media. Take time away from the spotlight. Stay healthy.

Scrub your hands with hot, running water and unscented soap, then rinse them off. Besides washing away dirt, this will remove skin oils that can prevent whites from fluffing. Cold yolks are less likely to break than warm ones, and easier to separate from the white. If you store your eggs in the fridge, separate them right after taking them out. If you store them at room temperature, you can put them in the fridge half an hour before you cook — though it's not a big deal if you forget. Most recipes call for whites or yolks at room temperature. You can warm chilled, separated egg by placing the bowls of yolks and whites in a pan of warm water (not hot) for 5–10 minutes. If you're only separating a couple eggs, you only need two bowls. But if you're separating many eggs, get another bowl to crack the whole egg into. This way, if you break the yolk, you've only lost one egg instead of ruining a whole bowl of whites. The faster method is to crack all the eggs into one bowl and lift out the yolks one by one. It's best to leave this until you've had some practice, since one broken yolk will ruin all your whites. Crack the egg carefully into the first bowl, taking care not to break the yolk. If you can, you can crack the egg gently, then drop it right into your cupped palm instead — or even crack it in one hand.  If you have trouble with shell fragments in your egg, try cracking it against a flat countertop instead of the edge of the bowl. If a bit of shell falls into your egg, pick it out with your fingers, without breaking the yolk. It's easier to get it out with half of the shell, but that increases the risk of salmonella contamination. Reach into the bowl and cup a yolk, lifting it up. Move your hand over to the second bowl and separate your fingers slightly, letting the whites drip through. Use your other hand to gently pull down thick strands of white if it doesn't fall on its own. If there is still white attached to the yolk, pass it back and forth between your hands until most of the white has dripped into...

TL;DR in English:


Stop buying stuff you don’t need. Avoid multi-tasking. Don’t overcommit yourself. Get organized. Don’t drink too much. Cook for the week. Avoid procrastinating. Show up early.

Peel the banana first, then slice it in half lengthwise. Place the two banana halves into a long, slender serving dish, with the pointed ends facing up. If you froze the yogurt, remove it from the muffin liners first, then set it between the banana slices. If you are using regular yogurt, use a spoon to scoop it into the dish, placing it between the banana halves. Dark chocolate or semi-sweet would taste the best, but you can also try milk chocolate or even white chocolate. For an even healthier banana split, omit the chocolate chips altogether.

TL;DR in English: Place the banana into a serving dish. Set the yogurt between the two banana slices. Add a sprinkle of chocolate chips, if desired.

overhanging your home so squirrels can’t get to your roof. Check the area around your roof for branches that allow easy access to your roof. Then, use a chainsaw to remove the branches, effectively cutting off access to your attic.  Squirrels will use tree branches as a bridge to your attic. They may even live in the tree most of the time but venture into your attic for nesting supplies or comfort during bad weather. If you aren’t experienced in cutting tree branches, hire a professional to do it. Not only could you get injured, you could also accidentally cause damage to your roof. Check both the exterior and interior of your home for visible holes. Then, use animal-resistant patches to cover the holes, which will prevent the squirrels from coming through them.  If you’re not sure how to repair the holes, hire a general contractor to do it for you. They’ll also be able to double check that every hole is covered. Ask around for a referral to a good general contractor, or conduct an online search to find one in your area. Secure the mesh screen by screwing it down. This prevents the squirrels from entering your attic through the vents.  These screens will not interfere with the effectiveness of your vents. A general contractor can also help you install the mesh screens, if you’re having trouble doing it yourself. Use a combination of mesh screens, plaster, and caulk to over any gaps around your wiring or plumbing fixtures. This helps reduce the risk of the squirrels squeezing though the holes or gnawing around the gaps to make them bigger.  Since squirrels are rodents, they can squeeze through very small holes. Additionally, they can gnaw around an existing hole to make it larger. As with the other repair jobs, you may want to hire a general contractor to take care of this for you. Measure the perimeter of the top of your chimney, called the crown, as well as the size of your flue. Purchase a chimney cap or mesh screen that is larger than the flue but smaller than the crown. Clean the top of your chimney to...

TL;DR in English: Cut tree branches Repair any holes in the exterior of your home. Cover air intake and exhaust vents with a mesh screen. Apply seals around electrical wiring and plumbing fixtures so squirrels can’t enter. Put a chimney cap or wire mesh over your chimney. Create a one-way exit hole if you think squirrels remain. Bait the end of the tunnel if you want to speed up the process.

Many viral STIs, including genital herpes, can produce little red bumps, blisters, warts, or even open lesions on or around your genitals. These warts or bumps are typically accompanied by a painful itching or burning sensation.  If you’ve recently had oral or anal intercourse and are concerned about an oral or anal STI, also inspect your lips and mouth, and your buttocks and anal area for warts or bumps. Herpes can stay dormant in your body for prolonged periods of time. Subsequent herpes outbreaks tend to be less painful than the initial outbreak. Infected individuals can have frequent outbreaks for decades. Although oral herpes can be contracted on the genitals (or in the genital region), it’s typically dormant after the initial outbreak. Fleshy, raised patches of skin or warts in the genital or oral areas can be a sign of genital warts or Human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a serious STI, but can be difficult to detect. Certain strains are accompanied by gray swellings on the genitals, which can clump together and take on a cauliflower-like appearance.  Genital warts, while not a particularly serious STI, are uncomfortable and often itchy. Certain strains of HPV can increase a woman’s risk of developing cervical cancer. If you’re concerned about HPV, speak with your doctor or gynecologist about frequent screenings or gynecological visits to monitor the virus. Although these are general, nonspecific symptoms, they can all be signs of two serious viral STIs: strains of hepatitis, or early HIV. Early HIV can also cause your lymph nodes to swell, and can produce a rash. Individuals infected with hepatitis (which damages your liver) often also experience lower abdominal pain and dark urine. Strains of hepatitis and HIV can be transmitted without sexual contact. Either disease can be transmitted by contact with infected blood (or other bodily fluids), or by sharing intravenous needles.

TL;DR in English: Inspect your genital region for small warts or sores. Look for fleshy bumps or blisters. Pay attention to persistent fever, fatigue, and nausea.

The wall above the couch can make a perfect place for a large central mirror that offers a panoramic view of the room. Mirrors have the added benefit of creating the illusion of space, which can make your seating area feel more open and inviting.  For a more eye-catching, contemporary effect, try grouping multiple mirrors together to fragment the reflection. Hang your mirror at least a foot above the couch and make sure it's perfectly centered to keep it from looking out of place. A set of multi-purpose shelves can be used to hold books, vases, or the assorted knick-knacks that you don’t have room for anywhere else. You could even install a shelf specifically to set your snacks on while you watch TV or keep your various remote controls together!  When it comes to shelves, you have many options, including ledge shelves, hook shelves, cube shelves, and more. Shop around to find a shelving solution that matches the character of your seating area.  To increase the shelves’ utility, make sure they’re deep enough for different objects to sit on comfortably, and keep them within arm’s reach of where you or your guests will be sitting. Attach a few sconce shelves or wire holders to the back wall, then array them with plates, platters, teacups, and utensils. This method of presentation is especially picturesque if your seating area borders the dining room or tea room. It sure beats keeping it locked away inside a trunk in the attic! Double check that your china is resting securely in the holders so it doesn’t topple over accidentally. There doesn’t have to be a rhyme or reason to your decorating scheme—anything goes! Mix-and-match miscellaneous objects to piece together a display that’s distinctly you. For instance, you might use trippy pop art prints to accentuate a centerpiece of crossed canoe paddles with your family’s name spelled out in ornamental metalwork letters beneath.  Peruse antique stores, yard sales, and flea markets for items that might be a good fit for your oddball wall. One of the biggest upsides of...

TL;DR in English: Install a mirror. Put up some shelves. Display your prized china. Fill the wall with an eclectic assortment of items.

Once you’ve recognized constructive criticism, learn how to grow from it. The first step is to hear the person out. You may need to practice this, as your first reaction is often to become defensive. Listen to them before you do anything.  Try to remain objective or outside yourself when getting constructive feedback. Remind yourself, “They aren’t attacking me. This isn’t about me personally.” Try active listening techniques during the conversation, like paraphrasing. If you are getting written feedback, read and re-read the comments to make sure that you understand. Be careful not to misinterpret criticism. If you have the chance, follow up with questions and ask for clarification on points that you do not understand. Asking questions will help you to better grasp what is being said, internalize the criticism, and find a solution. For example, “Can you please clarify what you meant when you said that my thesis statement was “fuzzy?” It is easy to get defensive when faced with criticism. Tell yourself over and again that constructive criticism is not personal. Resist the feeling and try to be open. Whether it is a peer, a boss, a teacher, or a loved one, remind yourself that they are, after all, probably just trying to help. Take a deep breath if you feel overwhelmed or angry. Think: is it the criticism that bothers you or the way in which the criticism was delivered? If the criticism is constructive, overlook the delivery. Resist the urge to dismiss criticism out of hand. Take some time to think it over. Is it accurate? Is it fair? Try to be as neutral as you can. You may risk missing an important truth if you ignore criticism.  Consider asking a friend, mentor, or family member about criticism – make sure that it is someone whom you trust but who will give you the truth. For example, “Sam, my teacher said she thinks I’m working below my ability. I trust you and want to know your opinion.” If you’ve faced constructive criticism, listened and assessed it, and decided that it is accurate, the next step is to...

TL;DR in English: Listen. Ask questions. Don’t lash out. Decide whether it is accurate. Take steps to address the problem.

So, a lot of people’s lives look something like this: you work a lot so you can make a decent amount of money, and then you use that money to buy a whole bunch of stuff. You buy the stuff, the money runs out, and back to work you go to rinse and repeat. If you’re having a hard time getting control of your life and your time, then chances are, one of the things you’re doing is working too much. Now, if you cut down on the spending, then you might feel less pressure to keep working so hard or for so many hours, and you’d have more of that free time you want so badly. Here are some tips for minimizing your spending while still having a great life:  Do you really need a car? Is all the time you spend running maintenance on the car, giving rides to people, and trying to find a parking spot everywhere you go really worth it? Wouldn’t your life be easier if you were more dependent on your own two feet and the bus schedule? If so, then it may be time to let go of your favorite vehicle. Do you really need five new outfits every month? Instead of just indiscriminately buying a bunch of new outfits every time you go shopping, focus on quality over quantity. Buy a high quality sweater, a well-fitting pair of pants, and a sturdy scarf that will go with everything so that you leave with a few key items that are made to last. Sure, they may not cost that much less than piles of cheaper new clothes, but they will keep you from having to shop as often as you do. Going out to eat is one of the biggest wastes of money. Try not to go out to eat or order takeout more than once or twice a week and spend more money on high-quality ingredients that can make home cooking more fun and delicious. You may think that multi-tasking is a great way to get your work done faster and to make the most of your time, but the truth is that multi-tasking will actually make all of your work take longer. Additionally, if you’re multi-tasking, then the quality of your work will go down because you won’t be able to be fully immersed in any one task....

Start making your product. Test, test, and then test some more. Apply for a tax identification number. Open a new bank account to keep your business earnings separate from the rest of your family income. Purchase business software for your home computer or laptop that will allow you to keep an organized database of inventory, invoices and accounting.

It's best to go with a pair that fits you snugly around the hips. Stretchy denim works well.  Wear them inside-out. Take a crayon or marker, and draw a line on both legs to show how tight you want them to be. Remember to make the line on the inside so when you wear them you can't see the seams on the outside of the leg. Make sure you draw the line on the opposite side of the manufacturer's original seam. You can use pins to tack, but you might end up poking yourself or the pins might end up coming out when you take the jeans off. As an alternative, take a pair of skinny jeans you already own as a guide. Spread out the pair you want to reconstruct inside-out and lay the skinny jeans on top (lining up the crotch). Make sure the seam is evenly on the edge (of both pairs) and take your chalk down the side of your pants, starting about mid-thigh, mirroring the line of the skinnies. Iron your jeans first to make everything easier. Flat, unwrinkled jeans are easier to work with. Walk around in them to see that the legs fit well, or you may want to jog a little -- sometimes jeans can come loose if you start moving around, in which case you'll need to tighten them. If you're unhappy, remove the stitches. But if they're tight, short, and spaced closely so that there are no bumps in your jeans and the stitches won't be pulled out in the wash, you're good to go. Work over each stitch as perfectly and as carefully as you can -- there's nothing worse than having a brand new pair of skinny jeans for one day and then having the stitches all pulled out the next. This will be hard work, but it is essential. Cut any excess fabric if necessary (use a zigzag stitch beforehand) or go over it with a serger, which will seal off the edge and cut off the fabric at the same time. However, you might want to wear and wash your jeans at least once before you start cutting them up, in case you want to go back and fix something later on.

TL;DR in English: Put on your jeans to get an idea of the shape you want. Try on your jeans to see if they fit. Go over the seam again with a much shorter stitch.

Not every image makes a good, or feasible, stencil. A single-overlay image is a great way to start out for someone new to fabric painting. This means that you’ll transfer the image onto, and use, a single sheet of stencil. Basic silhouettes work best or pictures with deep contrasts. If you are adapting a design, make sure it will work as a stencil. Take time to plan how you will cut and try to plan only one overlay. If you plan to include writing, go online and look at various fonts. It’s easiest to find a shape or image that fits your piece of fabric right away and doesn’t require any adjustments. However, it is possible to shrink or enlarge an image before making your stencil. Print out the image and then use a copier’s zoom function to adjust and reproduce it. You could also look at the image on your computer and use a design program to change the size. Acetate is a thin plastic that is often used for transparencies on overhead projectors. Lay your sheet of acetate on top of a piece of wood or glass. Place the image for your stencil on top of the acetate and then cut around the negative space (the areas you want to paint) with a sharp matte knife. Lift everything up and you will have an acetate stencil that you can use for fabrics. Acetate sheets come in different thicknesses. A thin sheet will be flexible and can mold more easily to moveable fabrics, but it will be easier to tear. A thicker sheet will be tougher to cut, but is more durable. A vinyl sheet is a great option for stenciling, as it is sturdy with a sticky backing that can hold onto a fabric. Lay your vinyl down flat. Smooth or iron it out to remove any wrinkles. Place your image on top and use a matte knife to cut out the vinyl in all of the to-be-painted places. Many online craft shops also offer vinyl stencils for sale. Cut down a piece of freezer paper to roughly the same size as your image. On a solid and sturdy surface, place your image underneath the freezer paper sheet. The shiny, waxy side of the freezer paper should face downward, the...

TL;DR in English: Choose a single-overlay stencil. Select a stencil of the right size. Make a stencil from acetate if you want a reusable option. Make a vinyl stencil if you want a bendable option. Make a freezer paper stencil if you want a quick option. Make a laminated printed stencil if you want a computer-based option.

Stress related to uncertainty activates structures in the brain that can make it difficult to calm yourself. If you are having trouble getting your mind settled, try practicing yoga or try meditation.  You could attend a yoga class, or simply find a relaxing yoga video on the internet. Meditating will not only help your brain focus on something different, it will also improve your ability to deal with stressful and uncertain events in the future. If you find that you are experiencing anxiety regarding uncertainties in your life, it may be useful to seek help from a mental health professional. This will give you an outlet to an outside person who can help you manage your anxieties and fears objectively. If you have a trusted friend, you can also talk to them about your worries, but if your anxiety over uncertainty is affecting you so greatly that you have trouble getting through daily life, it is probably best to seek professional help. If you are feeling anxious about some uncertainty about your life, then it is perhaps because one outcome is less desirable than another. If this is the case, try working through the worst case scenario. Plan how you will deal with the worst case scenario.  For example, if you feel uncertain about your performance on a recent exam, try to work through the different scenarios. If you did very poorly on your exam, how will it affect your grade? Will you be able to make up for the poor grade through extra credit, or through the remaining assignments and tests you have left? Can you discuss the issue with your teach to see if there are other ways of improving? This will help your brain to think more pro-actively and positively. When we are worried about an uncertainty, our mind tends to go in circles. If you aren’t comfortable talking about what is going on in your head, then try writing it down, either in a journal or just in a document on your computer. This will help give your mind an outlet. You don’t have to do anything with this writing when you are done with it, just simply...

TL;DR in English: Do yoga or meditate. Seek professional help. Work through the negative thoughts. Write in a journal. Pray

Since banana leaf meals are typically eaten without utensils, ensure your hands are clean before eating. Especially take care to do this if you are taking part in a communal meal where everyone shares food from a single leaf. Double-check your fingernails to make sure that all dirt and grime has been removed.  Some restaurants will offer extra sinks just for this purpose.  If no water or soap is available, wiping your hands clean with a cloth or towel is acceptable.  Since your hands will undoubtedly get messy, be sure to wash them after eating as well. Remember that many societies that use banana leaves also happen to believe that the left hand is “unclean,” even if you thoroughly washed it before sitting down. Respect their traditions and keep your left hand below the table. Only use your right hand to handle food and other items. This rule exists because such societies are supposed to use their left hand only for cleaning their body. So placing this hand on the table where others are eating or handling shared food with it is considered disrespectful. When sharing a communal meal, be conscious of the fact that the person next to you will be helping themselves to the same dish as you. Avoid double-dipping bread, rice, or other items in shared food. When bringing food to your mouth, be careful to only place the food inside, not your fingers. Additionally:  Do not help yourself to the last serving of a communal dish. Wait until your fellow diners make it clear that they do not want it. If you use a toothpick afterward, shield your mouth with your hand to catch any bits that may escape your mouth. If smoking is permitted, wait until everyone has finished eating so you do not ruin their experience. Indicate to waitstaff that you have finished eating by folding your leaf in half. Fold it along its spine, with the spine facing away from you. Be aware that folding it the other way around (with the spine closest to you) is a special custom in some societies, reserved exclusively for funerals, in order to show...

TL;DR in English: Wash your hands before and after. Use your right hand only. Respect your neighbors. Fold the leaf afterward.

One of the characteristics of photogenic people is their confidence in their appearance. Many times we get concerned about something wrong with our face; our freckles, the gap in your teeth, how squinty your eyes get when you smile. Instead of trying to hide those things, embrace them! You will look much more photogenic in your photos that way. It is easy to spot someone who is photogenic from someone who is posing; the former doesn’t have to fake their emotions. Although getting your photo taken can be nerve-wrecking, don’t let it get in the way of your true feelings. Don’t create the smile you think you need, use your regular smile. The same goes with the shape of your eyes and the curve of your cheeks. The more you allow your natural emotions to show on your face, the better your pictures will look.  Always smile with your teeth, because you would never laugh at a funny joke with your lips together. True smiles show off a toothy grin, not tightly pressed lips. Keep your face natural by allowing a real smile to peak through.  When you are showing emotions your entire face is affected. Although many people associate a look of happiness with just a smile, your eyebrows, eyes, cheeks, and forehead are all affected equally as much. Make sure that you are allowing freedom of movement in your entire face. As the old saying goes, “the camera adds ten pounds.” But it doesn’t have to! Because the camera is using reflected light to convert a 3D object into a 2D image, the shapes of things are flattened and compressed. Looking straight ahead at the camera will show the fullness of your face and remove/reduce any natural shadows. Instead, turn your face slightly to the side to create natural highlights and shadows and slim the shape of your face. The angle of your face is tied to the direction you are looking at the camera. Just as how you shouldn’t look at the camera straight on, you also should not tilt your head up when taking photos. This will make your face look larger and get a good shot up the inside of your...

TL;DR in English: Focus on what makes you unique. Show your emotions. Don’t look the camera straight on. Adjust the angle of your face.

Very few retailers successfully buy wholesale and then flip the product(s) without changing it in some significant way. What you'll probably find yourself doing is buying the raw materials from a supplier or host of suppliers and then spending time and manpower fashioning your product into reality. You may think you've got a really reliable product on your hands, but no one is as discerning as the customer. The customer uses the product, sometimes on a daily basis, sometimes the "wrong way." The customer is constantly asking herself, "did I get my money's worth?" Testing your product on focus groups, friends, or even (especially) strangers might give you insight into how to make it even better. Say, for example, that you order 100 vegetable peelers wholesale, stick your name on them, and then sell them with a 100% markup. That's not necessarily a bad idea if you can get swift sales. But what if the vegetable peelers dissolve under hot water, and a week into your new sales venture, you've got dozens of angry customers whose dishwashers have been ruined by the peeler? If you had tested them, you'd know they weren't a good product. If you hadn't tested them, you'd be giving refunds, losing money and having your brand take a hit. A tax ID will allow the government to set up taxes associated with your sales. In most cases, you'll need to register your tax ID number in each state you plan on selling your goods. This makes it easier for you to track your profit and expenses, though you can transfer your earnings into your personal account once your records have been noted.  This also makes things a whole lot easier come tax season, when you need to be exact about what expenses you had and how much you were paid. Link a PayPal account to your business bank account in order to make online transactions more efficient. It may sound boring, but boring is better than fines or jail time when the IRS comes auditing. You may choose to hire an accountant or bookkeeper to track these records for you.

TL;DR in English:


Purchase a quality leather conditioner. Squeeze the leather conditioner onto a clean cloth. Spread the conditioner over the surface of the leather. Condition your leather goods regularly.

Before you mop your travertine floor, you will want to make sure you remove any loose dirt or debris from the floor’s surface. Try using a dust mop made of microfiber to remove loose dirt. Carefully read the directions on the label of the travertine-friendly floor cleanser. Add the cleanser to a bucket of warm water, according to the directions on the label. If using mild dish soap, add a small squirt of soap to the bucket. Place the mop in the bucket of water and cleaning solution. Then lift the mop from the bucket and wring out the mop. Make sure you wring out as much water from the mop as possible. After wringing out the mop, use side-to-side motions to mop the floor. Begin at one side of the floor and systematically mop your way to the other side. Rinse the mop in the cleaning solution frequently, thoroughly wringing out the mop after rinsing. If you are mopping a large area, make a fresh bucket of cleaning solution after cleaning half of the floor area. After mopping the floor with cleaning solution, you will want to rinse it with fresh water. Dump the cleaning solution down the drain and fill the bucket with fresh, clean water. Mop the floor with the clean water. Fill the bucket with fresh water about halfway through and continue mopping. After you mop the floors with clean water, you will want to dry them. This will prevent streaks and smudges from forming on the floor as the water dries. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth made of cotton or microfiber to thoroughly dry the floors.

TL;DR in English: Use a dust mop to remove loose dirt. Fill a bucket with warm water and cleanser. Wring out a mop in the cleaning solution. Mop the floor with the cleaning solution. Mop the floor with water. Dry the floor with a soft cloth.

If you must sit at school and/or work, then move your legs and body about, but not constantly like a pendulum. Get up and go to the pencil sharpener, if possible. Step outside during your lunch break or walk to get a drink of water. If you want to get in shape but you’re too busy to hit the gym, you need to at least get yourself up and active. Walk. Park on the far side of the parking area. There are lots of ways to do such things, and they don’t need to be very time consuming or costly at all.  Make a point of taking the stairs rather than an elevator when going home or to work (split between stairs and elevator if you need to go up very high). Get a standing or treadmill desk, or use an exercise ball instead of a desk chair. Go ahead, listen to your favorite TV shows -- but don’t just sit there watching. Cook, fold laundry, empty the dishwasher or ride a stationary bike. Do a step routine/step up/step down (repeatedly) for a good while. Do squats while waiting for your food to cook. Walk around on your tiptoes, in a duck posture or in a semi-squatting position. . Aerobic exercises are those that get your heart-rate up the most. They will improve your body’s ability to handle physical exertion and make you healthier. Aerobic exercises will help you lose any weight, if that is your goal but exercising like this will be absolutely required, if you want to get in shape.

Some medications or supplements that you're taking to treat another condition may have side effects that decrease your fertility. If you tell your doctor all medications and supplements you're taking, they can identify any that might be causing infertility.  Your doctor can work with you to find a different medication or treatment method that will improve your condition without adverse effects on your fertility. After you discontinue medications or supplements, it may be a few months before you have any real changes in your fertility. Both alcohol and nicotine have negative effects on fertility. The less you consume of these substances, the better your chances of conceiving. If you smoke, it may take longer for you to be able to conceive safely, particularly if you quit with the help of nicotine replacement therapy, such as the patch.  If your usage of alcohol is excessive or problematic, you may require additional assistance to stop drinking. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Your doctor may have some recommendations. Keep in mind that even if you vape, if you're still ingesting nicotine, it may cause problems with infertility. If you have a body with a penis and testicles, hot tubs and extremely hot showers can lead to infertility. The heat kills sperm and can substantially decrease your sperm count. Using hot tubs frequently can also lead to problems with infertility if you have a body with ovaries, although the risk is not as significant as it is for bodies with testicles. Obesity can cause infertility regardless of your reproductive organs. Your doctor can help you come up with an exercise and diet plan that will help you lose weight and keep it off. They may also refer you to a physical trainer or a nutritionist for additional guidance.  If you've never exercised or it's been a while, start slow. It will take some time for your body to adjust to increased activity. Start with short, 5-minute walks several times a day. If you have joint problems, low-impact exercises, such as biking or swimming, may be a...

TL;DR in English: Discontinue medications that may affect fertility. Reduce or eliminate your consumption of alcohol and nicotine. Avoid hot tubs or hot showers. Start a regular exercise program if you're overweight. Practice relaxation techniques to reduce stress in your life.

Although herbs are generally safe, they aren’t right for everyone. Some herbal remedies may interact with certain medications, and they may aggravate an underlying condition. Check with your doctor to be sure that herbal remedies are safe for you to use for a cold. It’s always best to check with your doctor before using any type of supplement or treatment. Normally, you won’t need to visit a doctor for a cold. Since colds are a viral infection, antibiotics won’t treat them. However, a severe cold might require medical treatment. See your doctor if you have a fever or a severe sore throat, congestion, or sinus pain.  A fever is considered high if it’s greater than 101.3 °F (38.5 °C) for adults or 100.4 °F (38.0 °C) for newborns. A child may also experience ear pain, fussiness, extreme drowsiness, and lack of appetite. If your child has these symptoms, take them to the doctor. While you shouldn’t worry, these symptoms can be serious. Always see your doctor if you’re having trouble breathing normally. They can make sure you’re okay and give you treatments to improve your condition. Make a same-day appointment with your doctor or visit an urgent care center or emergency room. You’re likely going to be okay, but you may need treatment to improve your breathing.

TL;DR in English: Check with your doctor before using herbs. Visit your doctor if you have a persistent cold, a fever, or severe cold symptoms. Get immediate care if you experience shortness of breath or wheezing.

Lay it flat on a table. Place your copper pipe lengthwise on top of the paper so the rocket is long and thin. Make sure the top edge of the paper is even with the rest of the page. Use your copper pipe (or any other thin, round tube) to create the shape of the rocket by rolling the paper around the pipe.  Tuck the paper underneath the pipe simultaneously as you roll. This will ensure the body is as snug as possible. If the tube slides smoothly and freely as you’re rolling, you’re in good shape. Once your paper is tightly wound around the pipe, unroll it so only a third of the page is around the pipe. Hold the paper in place with one hand and using the other hand, grab the glue. Rub a strip of glue the entire length of the page. Roll the paper a little more to cover the newly placed glue spot.  Repeat this action of rolling a little, placing glue, rolling a little and placing glue, until the tube is sealed. Pay special focus to the last edge you glue. Ensure it is extra secure so it doesn’t unravel during flight. Continue to rub and roll the solid tube for several minutes to make sure everything is holding in place and sticking accordingly. Think of the tube as a rolling pin for dough and simply roll it back and forth. Holding the pipe upright with one hand, slide the pipe out the bottom about half an inch. This will leave the same amount of space (half an inch) exposed at the top that is not supported by the tube. Using a single finger, bend the unsupported edge at the top of the tube down. This will create a three or four layered end. Press hard against the pipe so it is firm. Once you’ve smashed the edge, press the crimped end on the table to really smash it in. Using scotch tape, grab two, inch and a half pieces or so of tape. Place the tape over the bent end of the cardstock. Make sure the tape is crossed for added security. This will prevent the edge from popping open once shot. Using a separate sheet of cardstock, fold the paper in half lengthwise. Holding the opened side of the paper, cut upward...

TL;DR in English: Grab the cardstock. Glue the tube. Remove the tube slightly. Bend the edge. Tape the bent edge. Create the fins. Secure the fin onto the rocket. Add weight to the front of the rocket. Make the launcher.

The oils in the conditioner will lubricate the porous leather, allowing it to flex and bend with your body with greater ease. And, unlike homespun oil treatments, they won’t compromise the durability of the material or leave behind a greasy patina.  If you’re willing to spend a little more money, you can also spring for a complete leather maintenance package. These kits often include other products that are useful for extending the lifespan of your leather goods, such as neatsfoot oil, leather milk, and protective beeswax for waterproofing. Avoid using natural alternatives like olive or coconut oil. While these can help relax leather in the short term, they have a tendency to absorb deep into the material. Over time, they can lead to permanent discoloration or more serious cracking and deterioration. Fold the cloth over the tip of your finger so that only one small corner is exposed. Use this corner to soak up a small amount of conditioner. That way, you can ensure that you’re getting just the right amount.  When it comes to leather products, less is more. You just want to treat the surface of the leather, not give it a bath.  Don’t apply the product directly to the leather. Not only is this a recipe for a giant mess, it also makes it harder to distribute the conditioner consistently. Rub the conditioner in smooth, wide strokes or circles, working your way slowly over a broader area. Aim for a single thin coating. The leather should have a faint sheen to it, but not appear wet or oversaturated.  Leather conditioners are safe enough to use on every part of the item’s exterior, but you could also focus your attention where it’s needed most, such as the elbows of a jacket or the toe or ankle area of a boot. There’s no need to rub on multiple coats. Any additional conditioner you apply will just accumulate on the surface. Repeat the process at least once every few months to keep your clothing and accessories in top shape. With each application, the stubborn material will grow more and more supple.  If you live...

Leave some food sitting out. Entice rats with grains and seeds. Give outdoor rodents access to your garbage. Look for rats around leaf and compost piles. Employ a chemical rat attractant.

After a venomous snakebite, your cat will become lethargic and may start vomiting. She will probably start to become very weak and collapse. In addition, her muscles may begin to twitch and her pupils will start to dilate. As more time passes after the snakebite, she could exhibit even more serious signs, such as seizures, paralysis, and shock.  Signs of shock include rapid shallow breathing, hypothermia, and a rapid heart rate.  Because of the amount of pain she is in, she may also be more vocal. Do not wait to see if your cat shows symptoms of a snakebite. If you saw the snake bite your cat, or if you see the bite wound, take your cat to the veterinarian immediately. The onset of clinical signs after a snakebite is usually rapid—within a few minutes to an hour of being bitten. If your cat shows no clinical signs after 60 minutes, then the snake's venom likely did not enter her system.  Your cat may not exhibit these clinical signs if she has been bitten by a nonvenomous snake. However, you should still take her to your veterinarian for treatment and monitoring. In order to give the appropriate antivenin, it would be helpful for your veterinarian to know the species of the attacking snake. In the US, the most common venomous snakes are rattlesnakes, water moccasins, copperheads, and coral snakes.  If you witnessed the attack, stay calm and take note of the color, length, and pattern of the snake. For your safety, do not approach the snake to get a closer look. Do not try to kill the snake. You will put yourself in more danger of being bitten by approaching the snake and trying to kill it. Venomous snakes have slit-like pupils (similar to a cat), whereas non-venomous snakes have round pupils (like people). There are exceptions, however. For instance, the venomous coral snake has round pupils. If you are not able to identify the snake or do not know if it is venomous, assume that it is venomous. The negative effects on the cardiovascular system can cause your cat to go into shock.

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to your cat’s clinical signs. Try to identify the species of snake that bit your cat.

If soda has spilled inside your car’s plastic cup holders, buy a cleaner specify formulated for the plastic insides of your car. Spray this cleaner into the cup holders, then scrub at the soda stain with a toothbrush. After scrubbing, stuff paper towels or a clean rag into the cup holder and wipe away the cleaner and stain.  If you can’t find a car cleaner, use an all-purpose cleaning spray, a 1/1 solution of white vinegar and water, or soapy water.  If the stain is particularly large or old, you may have to repeat this process several times to completely remove the stain. Use baby wipes or cleaning wipes to spot clean the inside of sticky cup holders. This is a good step to take if you have already done an initial cleaning but are left with individual trouble spots in your cup holders. To clean, rub the baby wipe or cleaning wipe on the stain until it has been rubbed away. If you have spilled your soda onto the plastic sidings of the car or the car door, use ammonia-free glass cleaner to remove the stain. Spray a few sprays of the glass cleaner onto a clean rag or paper towel, then wipe away the stain. Don’t use glass cleaner with ammonia, as this can bleach the plastic.

TL;DR in English: Use cleaning spray and a toothbrush to clean cup holders. Spot clean the cup holders with a baby wipe. Use glass cleaner to clean plastic car sidings.

Treat them with love, respect, and selflessness and they will be devoted to you. Scorpios are good friends. Give them 100 percent and they will return it with interest! Scorpios tend to have only a few very intense friendships because they need for their friends to bond with them on the deepest and most intimate level. Flimsy and ephemeral friendships are of no interest to a Scorpio. Once you've been part of their lives they will never forget you. If you wrong a Scorpio, they may eventually forgive you, after making you suffer, but they will never forget. Betrayal will be answered with an unrivaled thirst for vengeance. There's a reason the symbol for this sign is the scorpion. The likelihood you’ll win in a fight with them is very low. Most Scorpios (not all) love to compete - and most of all, win. Scorpios love sports or games where they have an opponent to defeat. If Scorpios have a goal, they will always try to reach it. They never give up and usually succeed in whatever they do.

TL;DR in English: Be loyal. Do not anger a Scorpio. Embrace the competitive streak of a Scorpio.

Alcohol tends to cause bad breath. If you want to hide the fact you're drinking, use mouth wash, breath strips, and mint flavored gum. Try to always be chewing on something with a strong odor, like foods with red onions and garlic, in order to cover up the smell. Some people are prone to bloodshot eyes when drinking. If this is the case with you, try to carry a small eye drop container with you when you drink. You can purchase one at a local drugstore. If you feel your eyes getting itchy, irritated, or dry run to the bathroom and use the container. Drink plenty of water when you're drinking. Not only can this prevent hangovers, it can help cover up the smell of alcohol.  Strive to drink one, 8 ounce glass of water for every alcoholic beverage you drink. A 8 ounce beer or glass of wine counts as a drink. One shot of hard liquor also constitutes roughly one drink. Sports drinks that contain electrolytes can also be helpful when it comes to concealing alcohol. People tend to slur their speeches when drunk. They also tend to lose track of the volume of their voice. If you're trying to avoid getting caught drinking, try to keep quiet and listen. After a certain point, you cannot hide your drinking no matter how hard you try to conceal it. Inhibitions fall with drinking and you'll be less vigilant the more you drink. If you begin to feel tipsy, you might want to stop. You may notice you feel unbalanced or lightheaded. Many people also feel increasingly social and happy when they're beginning to become drunk. If you notice these symptoms, stop drinking.

TL;DR in English: Freshen your breath. Use eye drops. Stay hydrated. Keep quiet. Know when you've reached your limit.

Go through your list of items and begin filling in descriptions. This will help you get organized before taking your inventory counts. When looking over your items and filling in your descriptions, start organizing your items into groups to make counting stock faster. There are multiple ways you can do this.  Organize your stock room by item alphabetically. Pull the items you have an excess of into the front. Order them by serial number. Inventory reports should be filled out on a consistent basis: weekly, monthly, or annually. Be sure to label the time frame that you’re using before taking count of your items. Go through your inventory and list the amount of stock you have for each item. Be sure to label your stock review with a unit of measurement if needed. Also, list “0” for any items that you’ve run out of. Don’t leave the space empty. Once you’ve filled out your inventory report, double check your stock review. A proper review will give an accurate account of expenses, stock items, and damaged items. If everything is accounted for and labeled properly, sign and date the report.

TL;DR in English: Fill out descriptions. Select a time frame. List inventory. Sign and date.

Rats aren't picky eaters—you can use just about any type of edible item as rodent bait, including meats, cheeses, fish, moldy bread, and produce that’s past its prime. Sweet offerings like fruit are among their favorites, particularly berries. Rats prefer foods with strong odors, which they use to sniff out a meal. For this reason, spoiled items may be more effective for drawing them out than fresh ones. Set out an open sack of flour or bucket of rotting feed. Grains, nuts, and other plant-based nibbles provide rats with a lot of energy, which is why it’s no coincidence that they can often be found in places like pantries and storage sheds. It’s not uncommon to spot rats lurking near bird feeders or bags of grass seed. If you have an overflowing trash can or dumpster outside, you may not need to do anything special to whip a community of hidden rats into a frenzy. The mixture of rotting food items in the average waste receptacle is like a buffet for a hungry rodent.  Let your trash sit out for an extra day or two before having it hauled off so it’s extra smelly. Your garbage will become a rat magnet in the sweltering summer months, when the heat speeds decomposition. Rake the scattered leaves, twigs, and weeds from around your property into mounds and wait for the furry invaders to pour in. Rats often seek shelter in these places or make off with small pieces of debris to build their nests. Situate leaf piles and compost heaps next to the tree line or close to dark or confined spaces. Rats are more likely to venture into these areas than those that are out in the open. Squeeze a few drops of rat attractant around the area where you want to lure and trap rats. These products use natural compounds to mimic the scent of rat saliva. Any rats that happen to be passing by will pick up on the smell and think there’s something edible nearby.  You can buy rat attractant from most pet stores, or in the pest control aisle of your local home improvement center. A little bit of rat attractant goes a long way. Hints of the...

Talk to your doctor about your goals. Set realistic goals for yourself. Educate yourself about the risks of a model’s lifestyle.

When it’s cold out, it’s time to switch up your night clothes. Swap out cotton for some flannel pajamas. You can buy flannel tops and bottoms, as well as night shirts. Flannel is a great insulator that will help you retain your body heat. Look for a fun or cute print to liven up your flannel wardrobe. Looser is generally better when it comes to sleepwear. You probably move around during your sleep, and it’s best to wear clothing that will easily move with you. Look for loose clothing, but make sure you won't get tangled up in it if you toss and turn. If you wear pajama pants, make sure that the elastic is loose and breathable. Your feet might be one of the coldest parts of your body. To help keep your whole body toasty, keep your feet warm by sleeping in socks. Choose socks that feel comfortable to you. Make sure they’re not too big or floppy. You don’t want them coming off in the middle of the night! If flannel doesn’t seem to be keeping you warm enough, consider adding additional layers of clothing. You could try a thermal t-shirt underneath your pajama top. You can also add a pair of form fitting leggings underneath your pants or night shirt. If you get cold during the night, add another layer. If you get too hot, just peel one off. A lot of your body heat can escape through your head. If you’re really cold, consider wearing a hat to bed. You can wear a ski cap or even a hunter’s style cap with ear flaps. Whatever feels good to you is the right hat. You could choose to wrap a scarf around your head (not your face) as an alternative to a hat.

TL;DR in English: Wear flannel pajamas. Pay attention to fit. Wear socks. Try layers. Cover your head.

Separate the strips by pulling them apart. Align the shapes of the strips, with the red labels facing outward on each side. Push the strips together until you hear a click. Peel off one of the red (or green, depending on your product) liners. Place the strip sticky-side down onto the back of the frame. Press the strip down firmly.  Repeat this step for each strip you want to apply to the frame. For example, you may want to use two to four strips per frame. If you’re using four strips for a frame, put the lowest pair approximately two-thirds of the way down from the frame’s top. Make sure all of the liners are removed. Push the frame against the wall strongly. Hold it firmly for 30 seconds. Hold the bottom of the frame. Lift it gently towards you and upwards. Press the entire length of the strips for 30 seconds each. Don’t yank the frame straight towards you, or you’ll loosen the strips instead of detaching the frame from the wall. Don’t reattach the frame until an hour has passed. Afterwards, align the frame’s strips with the strips on the wall. Push the frame until all of the strips have clicked into place. Leaving the frame off of the wall for an hour gives the adhesive time to bond to the wall. If the frame isn’t straight, you can remove one or more strips. Hold the bottom two corners of the frame and lift it up and away. Reposition the strip(s) as desired. Hold the top of the strip you want to reposition with one hand. With your other hand, pinch the strip at the bottom and pull it downwards. Stretch it slowly, straight down – up to 15 inches – until the strip releases from the wall.

TL;DR in English: Snap the strips together. Attach the strips to the back of the picture frame. Adhere the frame to the wall. Remove the frame to secure the underlying strips. Let the strips cure for at least an hour. Readjust the strips if needed.

It's normal to feel upset and a little heartbroken when your crush rejects you, but anger will not help anything. Getting angry can be particularly damaging if your crush is a close friend, as getting mad may ruin the friendship. Wish your crush good luck and try to smile. If you were/are close friends, let your crush know you'd like to remain friends, and that you hope this won't change things between you. It's the best way to save face and maintain the friendship after getting rejected. One of the best ways to get over heartbreak and rejection is to surround yourself with friends. Whether you go to a movie, get food, go out for a drink (if you're old enough), or just hang out at home, it's important to be with friends during difficult situations. Let your friends know you're going through a rough patch, and ask them if they're free to spend some time together. Some friends will make the effort to reach out to you, but other friends may need to be invited. If your friends don't immediately reach out to you, try approaching them and let them know that you could really use some company. If you're feeling the sting of a crush's rejection, it can be helpful to seek out activities that make you happy. Whether you enjoy listening to music, reading a book, watching a movie, or simply going for a walk or bike ride, doing things you enjoy can help you feel good and stay positive in spite of how you're feeling. Some people may assume that journaling won't help, but studies have shown that journaling can help people put their thoughts into perspective and remain positive after experiencing heartbreak.  Invest in a new, high-quality journal. This will ensure that the journal will stand up to any abuse from daily use, and will make you more likely to want to use your journal every day.  Set aside time everyday to write in your journal. Try setting a timer to force yourself to write for longer periods of time.  Allow yourself to experiment. Your journal isn't intended to be read by anyone else, so let yourself be open and...

TL;DR in English: Resist getting angry. Spend time with friends. Do things you enjoy. Start journaling. Know when to ask for help

Search keywords “Pokémon card maker” and you should find many online generators. Two popular sites are mypokecard.com or pokecard.net. If you’re going for realism, search for an animated image with the same characteristics as real Pokemon, like sharp edges and bold colors. If you want a funny card or something unique, you can use a photo of yourself or scary animal. Once you’ve chosen your image, upload it onto the site. Choose an image that goes with the type of Pokémon that you’re creating. For example, you might choose a water or fire type, in which case you should make sure the image you choose fits the type. So if you have a photo of an animal shooting water from its mouth, don`t choose fire type. The evolution stage is similar to giving your Pokemon’s age. If it's basic then it’s a kid, if it’s stage 1 then it’s a teen, and if it’s stage 2 then it is an adult. If choosing a name is difficult, think about what your Pokémon represents. Is it funny? Is it powerful? Is it scary? You can name it after its move like “Firebreather” or “Lightning Strike” Each Pokémon has a set of special characteristics and a card maker site will prompt you with what to fill out. This is what makes up your Pokémon and should be fun. Think about the type moves and and weaknesses your card should have. Put in its attacks, fill out the author statement, and the weaknesses of the Pokemon.

Majoring in exercise science is recommended but not required by all states.  Though you don’t have to choose a particular major in order to become a P.E. teacher, many states will require you to have at least taken certain courses, so check your state’s requirements. It is more common for secondary-school teachers to be required to major in their chosen area of instruction than it is for primary-school teachers. Most post-graduate teaching programs require applicants to have a minimum number of classroom experience hours.  The amount of required classroom hours may vary depending on the teaching program to which you’re applying, so do your research. Many universities offer programs that place students in local classrooms to help them gain experience. Inquire with your university if such programs are available to you. If you want to be involved in physical education, be sure you yourself are familiar with both physical education and with playing sports. A great way to get experience with sports and physical education is to volunteer to be a coach or assistant coach for a local school or league team. If your university offers courses in education, it’s recommended that you take at least several such courses. Education courses will not only help you determine if teaching is a good fit for you, but also help prepare you for the kind of coursework you’ll be required to take as part of your post-graduate education.

TL;DR in English: Get your bachelor’s degree. Get experience as a student teacher. Get physical/sports experience. Take education classes.

Losing weight, and maintaining your ideal body weight once you achieve it, can be very difficult.  Depending on your current weight and health status, a strict diet and exercise regimen can also create potential health risks.  Talk to your doctor before starting any new weight loss regimen.  Your doctor can help you set healthy weight loss goals and suggest safe strategies for losing weight. Your doctor might also be able to refer you to a registered dietitian or fitness professional who can help you create and achieve realistic goals. Everyone’s body is different. Weight loss can be more difficult (and potentially unhealthy) for some people than for others.  Before trying to achieve a runway model physique, give some serious thought to what sorts of weight-loss goals you can reasonably attain.  Aim for goals that are SMART  ""Specific"".  Plan out exactly how much exercise you are going to do each week, or how many calories you are going to consume every day. ""Measurable"".  Keeping your goals measurable will help you pinpoint how successful you are at meeting them.  For example, while you can’t measure a goal like “eating healthier,” you can definitely measure a goal like “eating 1,200 calories per day.” ""Attainable"".  Consider whether you have the time, resources, and physical ability to meet your goals.  Are your daily exercise goals compatible with your work schedule?  Do your diet plans meet your specific health/nutritional needs? ""Realistic"".  There is only so much weight that you can safely lose in a given amount of time.  Talk to your doctor or dietitian about what kind of weight loss you can realistically hope to attain. ""Trackable"".  You should be able to measure your progress in some way, whether it is through weekly weigh-ins or keeping a diary of your physical activity and calorie intake every day. Keep in mind that models often take extreme and dangerous measures to lose or maintain weight.  Models are at high risk for developing physical and psychological problems as a result of the...

In most instances, creditors and lenders want to see a debt-to-income ratio of 36 percent or less. If your debt-to-income ratio is higher than this percentage, you might have difficulty securing a loan until after that percentage drops.  A ratio of 19 percent or less is ideal, and if you can secure this level of financial security, you should have very little problem securing loans or taking on new credit. A ratio between 20 and 36 percent or less will usually be deemed healthy enough to secure a loan from most lenders, but you should begin cutting back once you . If your debt-to-income ratio is between 37 and 42 percent, you are in a state of minor financial crisis and may not be able to get any loans or new lines of credit. At a ratio between 43 and 49 percent, you will likely begin seeing financial difficulties in your everyday life in the near future. If your ratio is 50 percent or higher, you need to seek professional help to quickly reduce your debt. These are terms that are used when you are looking to secure a mortgage loan. Front-end debt ratios only use proposed monthly housing expenses, while back-end debt ratios use all existing debt and any new projected monthly mortgage payments.  For most purposes, you should look at your back-end debt. Many lenders will usually look at front-end debt, but as a borrower, you should look at both front-end and back-end debt to determine how much you can actually afford regarding new loans and credit. Front-end debt-to-income ratios are also known as housing-expense-to-income ratios. This percentage should be at or below 28 percent, while a back-end debt-to-income ratio should be at or below 36 percent. If your debt-to-income ratio is higher than you would like it to be, you can help lower it by implementing lifestyle changes that decrease your debt levels.  Increase the amount of money you pay toward your debts. If you can manage it, make extra payments toward your loan, house, car, or any other debt for which there is a principle you must pay off in addition to...

TL;DR in English: Know how your ratio looks to lenders. Understand the difference between front-end and back-end debt. Take steps to lower your debt-to-income ratio, if necessary. Monitor your debt-to-income ratio periodically.

If your home has central heating and cooling, then you most likely have a central thermostat to control it. Thermostats, whether programmable or not, will have many similar settings, including fan options, heating options, and cooling options. With fan options, you will most likely have  “on” or “auto.” By choosing “on,” you will engage the fan on your system to circulate air through the home without heating or cooling it. The fan will run for as long as the “on” option is engaged. The “auto” option will only engage the fan when either the heat or air conditioning turns on and needs to be circulated.  The “on” option for the fan is generally considered an energy waster since it will require a decent amount of energy to move that much air on a constant basis. Due to this most people only ever leave the fan set to “auto.” Many people use the “on” option simply to flush air out of a house—if something burned while cooking and you want to circulate enough air to clear the smell, for instance. Depending on your model of thermostat, you will likely either have a small switch on the thermostat’s faceplate or a cycle button to cycle between heating, cooling, and off options. You can prep the system to cool the home by moving the switch or pressing the button until you reach the “cool” setting. You will see a number on the thermostat display. This number is the ambient temperature in your home. Use the up and down arrows on the thermostat to set the temperature you want the home to reach. You will see a different display number come up that corresponds to the temperature you set.  You will likely hear the system click as it engages and turns on the air conditioning to lower the temperature in the house to what you have set. The system will run until the house reaches the chosen temperature, and then it will automatically turn itself off and only reengage when the internal thermometer registers that the home is warmer than the set temperature. You can use the same switch or button to cycle the system to “off” at any...

TL;DR in English: Learn the differences between settings. Turn on the fan. Set the air conditioner. Set the heat.

We're already assuming you know you have to be Catholic and a woman, but you also have to be single. If you are married, an annulment recognized by the Catholic church must be obtained. Widows are viewed as single in the eyes of the church. When you become a nun, you will receive a ring to denote you as God's bride. Because of this, you may not have another relationship distracting you from God's call. Back in the good ol' days, most nuns were straight out of high school or college. Now just about anything goes -- from 18 to your 40s. In certain circumstances, older women will be accepted -- it depends on the community you choose to enter. In general, most religious communities encourage their members to have some type of college education. Having at least a BA is preferable, but not necessary. Life experience, including professional experience, is also a plus. If you have children, they need to have left home. You must not have any dependents upon entering. Many nuns have children -- they're just fully grown. That is to say, be debt-free and healthy. Most institutions prefer candidates that aren't overwhelmed by other issues and can fully devote themselves to God. If you have debt, don't let it stop you. If you find a community you'd like to join, address the issue with your director. They may be able to help.

TL;DR in English: Be single. Meet the age requirements. Let your children grow up. Be in good financial and physical standing.

Don't wait for your boyfriend to change or to treat you better. If you live with your boyfriend and he is abusive or violent, it's important that you end the relationship immediately and get away from him as soon as possible. The abuse is not your fault and you should never blame yourself for being abused—but you do need to be proactive and take the first steps to move your boyfriend out. It's important that you do this in a safe space (preferably out of your shared apartment/house) and with a friend or family member with you. You should be clear and direct; explain that you need your boyfriend to move out as soon as possible, and that you do not want to have any contact with him after he moves out. If your boyfriend is not willing to move out, or becomes angry, violent, or unstable, you should immediately call the police—primarily for your own safety. Obtain a restraining order; if you own the apartment or house that you share, this will keep him from returning and will also let you keep your own living space. Further steps include:  Change your locks. If your boyfriend has a key, this will prevent him from intruding into your living space. Call the National Domestic Abuse Helpline (1-800-799-SAFE [7233]) or visit their website. This center can provide you with advice and support. If your abusive boyfriend owns that house or apartment that you share with him, or is otherwise unwilling to move out, you may need to move out yourself. Your own safety should be your first priority; it's not worth sacrificing your mental and physical safety just to continue living with your boyfriend. If you need to, temporarily stay with your family or friends while you or your boyfriend (separately) look for new places to live. It can be difficult to end a relationship, especially one that has been founded on mistreatment. However, just as in any non-abusive relationship, you decision to move your boyfriend out needs to be final and permanent. Even if he threatens or begs to move back in with you, do not let him. Instead,...

TL;DR in English: Take action immediately. Ask your boyfriend to move out. Contact the police and get a restraining order. Move yourself out, if your boyfriend refuses to leave. Don't allow your boyfriend back into your life—or your apartment.

this is a failure-to-fire (FTF) malfunction. You pull the trigger and you get a "click" instead of a "boom." This is the simplest type of malfunction, the most common type, and the easiest to fix: just tap, rack/flip. a failure-to-eject is a common problem on older 1911s and other guns with shorter ejectors. This type of malfunction is affectionately known as a "stovepipe." The symptom of this malfunction is a "dead trigger" (no click, just a little bit of movement), and most likely some brass sticking out of your ejection port (but not necessarily), and the slide is not completely in battery (all the way forward). Fix it using the same method at a Type-1 malfunction: tap, rack/flip. this is known as "the Mother Of All Malfunctions" (MOAM) by some. This is a feed-way stoppage, which means that too much brass is in the chamber at the same time.  If you do get a type-3 malfunction under fire, many pistol masters will tell you just to grab for your back-up. Of course, if that is not an option you should find cover before executing the clearing. To clear: grab your slide and lock it back (this is optional on many handguns). Press the magazine eject, grab the magazine and throw it to the ground ("strip" it). Grab the slide again and rack it hard three times. Reach for a fresh magazine, put it in the gun (same as the tactical reload) and rack the slide one more time to load a round into the chamber. You can also learn to keep the magazine you have in your gun, read this. this is pretty uncommon, and if it ever happens to you when you are practicing with your gun at the range, throw the gun away and get a different model! This malfunction is when the slide does not go back into battery after firing. This might happen because your guide rod or guide rails are really gummed up (to the point where it looks as if there is a wad of Juicy Fruit in there), your guide spring is too weak or your chamber design is bad. Either way, modern semi-automatic pistols should never have this happen. A gunsmith (or you) may be able to...

TL;DR in English:


Lower your sodium intake. Eat six to eight servings of grains per day. Load up on fruits and vegetables. Add low-fat dairy products. Eat lean meat, poultry and fish in moderation. Control your fat consumption. Supplement your diet with nuts, seeds, and legumes. Restrict your sugar consumption.

In the United States, the term “otaku” is usually reserved for people who are hardcore anime or manga fans, but in Japan, “otaku” basically defines anyone who is a hardcore fan of any one interest. Even if the otaku girl in your life is a huge anime fan, it helps to know which series and genres she's most interested in.  The Japanese concept of “otaku” is similar to the American idea of a fangirl (or fanboy), geek, or nerd. A person could be an anime otaku or game otaku, but someone could also be something like a train otaku. Anyone who loves something enough to obsess over it can be labeled as an “otaku.” The American concept of “otaku” tends to be someone who is obsessed with some part of Japanese pop culture or Asian pop culture in general. Anime, manga, and computer games are the most notable obsessions, but an otaku could also obsess over J-Pop music or Korean dramas. Simply knowing the title of her favorite series isn't enough. If you really want to impress your otaku girl, you should do a little research into her favorites so that you know what they're all about. You don't need to love everything she loves, but you should have a basic enough understanding to follow along with her rants when she starts talking about one of her passions. Another advantage to your research is that you'll learn more about the type of things she loves, rather than knowing only a few examples. Most otaku girls will branch out from their original obsessions and latch onto things related to them. If you learn enough about what interests her, you may eventually be able to introduce her to something else she'd enjoy, which will definitely leave her feeling impressed with you. Take her to places that cater to her passions. Give her gifts that are related to the things she loves. Otaku girls like to be romanced, but standard “cookie cutter” actions only scratch the surface and fail to address her as an individual.  Keep in mind that your gifts do not need to be expensive to make an impression. As a general rule, otaku girls tend...

TL;DR in English: Know her passions. Do your research. Impress her by acknowledging those interests. Do not look down on her or expect her to change. Compliment her. Notice her other quirks. Don't push her too far out of her comfort zone.

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.

The first step to solving a two step algebraic equation is just to write the problem so you can start to visualize the solution. Let's say we're working with the following problem: -4x + 7 = 15. The next step is to find a way to keep "-4x" on one side and to keep the constants (whole numbers) on the other side. To do this, you'll have to do the "Additive Inverse," finding the opposite of +7, which is -7. Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation so that the "+7" on the same side as the variable term is canceled out. Just write "-7" below the 7 on one side and below the 15 on the other so the equation remains balanced. This will complete the process of isolating the variable term. Subtracting 7 from +7 on the left side of the equation will leave no constant term (or 0) on the left side of the equation. Subtracting 7 from +15, on the right side of the equation, will leave you with 8. Therefore, the new equation is -4x = 8.  -4x + 7 = 15 = -4x = 8 The coefficient is the number attached to the variable. In this example, the coefficient is -4. To remove the -4 in -4x, you'll have to divide both sides of the equation by -4. Right now, the x is being multiplied by the -4, so the opposite of this operation is division and you'll have to do it on both sides. To do this, divide the left side of the equation, -4x, by -4, to get x. Divide the right side of the equation, 8, by -4, to get -2. Therefore, x = -2. You've taken two steps -- subtraction and division -- to solve this equation.

TL;DR in English: Write the problem. Decide whether to use addition or subtraction to isolate the variable term. Add or subtract the constant on both sides of the equation. Eliminate the coefficient of the variable through division or multiplication. Solve for the variable.

It's possible that your dog climbs on the couch because they know you snack there, and there might be crumbs in the cushions. Or maybe your cat climbs on the kitchen counter because they know you put their food bowl up there from time to time. Whatever piece of furniture your pet is climbing on, there's a chance they've come to associate that location with food. Keep food away from the furniture you're trying to train your pet away from, and promptly clean up any messes you make on or near that furniture. One way to train your pet out of using furniture (and keeping your pet off, even when you're not home) is by making the furniture less comfortable. Buy some cheap place mats and cover one side of them with double-sided scotch tape. You can then lay these sticky mats, with the adhesive side up, on whatever counters or couch cushions your pet is drawn to, or just apply double-sided tape directly to the furniture. The sticky sensation will be extremely uncomfortable, yet it won't harm your pet, and if you're using place mats it won't damage your furniture, either. Aluminum foil is another simple furniture deterrent that will make furniture loud and uncomfortable, and therefore undesirable, without harming your pet or damaging your furniture. Simply lay sheets of aluminum foil across couches, chairs, and counter tops. You can also use an upside down plastic carpet runner across your couch and chair cushions. A simple way to keep pets off your couches and recliners is by laying other furniture, like folding chairs, across the cushions. This will remove all temptation by making the furniture completely inaccessible to your pet, yet it's still simple enough for you to easily remove when you want to sit on the couch or chair. One way to train your pet out of climbing onto furniture, especially when you're not home, is to lay a gentle trap. A good example of a harmless (yet effective) booby trap is to stack a bunch of empty soda cans on the furniture. Be sure the empty cans are well-rinsed, to ensure that no sticky...

TL;DR in English: Keep food away from the furniture. Use double-sided tape. Use aluminum foil. Block access to furniture. Create a gentle booby trap. Buy a deterrent device.

Many people eat as much as 3,500 mg of sodium per day. The DASH diet, which is short for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, recommends no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. Sodium is in salt, so the best way to reduce your sodium intake is to eat less salt. You can do this by:  Not adding table salt to your food. This may also include reducing the amount of salt you use when cooking. Easy ways to do this include not salting meats and not adding salt to the water when you cook rice or pasta. Avoiding salty snacks and processed food such as chips, pretzels, and salted nuts. They often have large amounts of salt added to them. If you do purchase prepared foods, look to see if you can get a low-salt version. Check the contents of canned food, premixed seasonings, bouillon cubes, canned soups, jerkies, and sports drinks to see if they have salt added to them. Whole grains are better than processed white rice or processed white flour because they have more fiber and nutrients. A serving is a slice of bread or a half a cup of cooked rice or pasta. You can eat more whole grains by:  Buying whole wheat flour and pasta instead of white. Many whole wheat bread products will say on the packaging that they are whole wheat. Oatmeal and brown rice are also excellent sources of nutrients and fiber. You should eat four to five servings of fruit and four to five servings of vegetables each day. A serving is a half a cup of leafy vegetables or a ½ cup of cooked vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are great sources of potassium and magnesium which help to lower your blood pressure. Excellent ways to get your fruits and vegetables include:  Eating salads with your meals. You can keep them interesting by varying what you put in them. You can add a sweet element by putting apple or orange slices on a salad. Leave on the peels of thin-skinned fruits like apples because they also contain nutrients. You can also go more traditional with fresh greens, carrots, and tomatoes. But go easy on the salad dressings: they often have a...
