Locate the activation sticker on the front of the card. Find the ID number, activation code, and/or PIN number. Call the provided phone number to start the activation process. Follow the automated prompts or speak with an agent. Call customer service if you aren’t sure what to do. Use the gift card to make purchases from the correct merchant.

Regardless of what the situation may be (for example, their sporting event or taking on a promotion at work), make sure they know that you support them.  Be excited about opportunities that arise for them, and express that excitement. Be there in person to support when you can, like at a sporting event or at a fundraiser. Let others know about their opportunity, if they feel comfortable with that. Encourage them to take on the new opportunity by taking tasks off of their to-do list so that they can better focus. Offer to take care of some chores or errands so that they can focus their attention on their needs:   Grocery shopping Laundry or dry cleaning Cleaning your home Preparing food in advance Helping with administrative tasks, like sending emails or managing their calendar An unhealthy relationship is one in which one person holds the other back. Show they that you truly support they by encouraging they to chase their goals.  Offer to find ways to make their goals or dreams attainable, like helping them do research and learning more about their ambitions. When they feel discouraged, share uplifting words: “I know you feel like you're a long way from reaching your goal right now, but let's take a moment to look at how far you've come since you started!” There will likely be times when they feel pessimistic. Help them turn those feelings around by remaining optimistic.   If you feel pessimistic, too, and display that pessimism, then they might give up on their goals. Even if you do feel frustrated at times, find ways to continue to be supportive and to express that frustration in a healthy way. Find a friend to whom you can vent your frustrations, play sports, or take a walk. At times, the best way you can encourage them to do something is to give they space. Recognize when this is needed, and give them the space they need.   Giving too much encouragement can become or seem nagging, and no partner appreciates being nagged. Take this time to do something good for yourself: a warm bath, a good book, a...

TL;DR in English: Let them know that they have your support. Ask them what you can do to assist. Encourage they to go after their goals and dreams. Be optimistic for them. Give them space when necessary. Challenge them to be a better person.

If you right-click on a Start screen app, you'll find that you cannot create a shortcut to it to move anywhere, you can only pin it to the taskbar. This is because the app on your Start screen is already a shortcut. You can open the shortcut folder to make a copy of the shortcut yourself. You cannot create shortcuts to apps that run on the Windows 8 Modern UI. This means most apps from the Windows Store. Select Open file location. If you are using a touchscreen, touch the icon and swipe down with your finger to open the right-click menu. Windows will open the folder with the shortcut you've selected. You can now copy it or send it to the desktop as a new shortcut.

Explain to them what is going to happen in the months to come, including how daily life will be structured for them and the rest of the family. Explain to older children that though they may be leaving their school, it doesn't mean they are leaving their education or their friends.    Ask them what they would be interested in studying. For example, if they love stargazing, get a telescope and study astronomy. Be sure to get them excited. Home education should be fun for the students -- not a punishment. That's the best motivator. If it'll help them, let them know that they're one of 1.5 million (and rising) students that are going to learn from home this year. Often children who leave the standard educational system for home education need some time to adjust. Instead of immediately jumping into "school at home," you may want to do unstructured activities and then slowly work into your routine. Determine how much "recovery time" is needed for each particular child, and work with them to create a different and more enjoyable learning experience.  If they're concerned, do research and back up your opinions with others' opinions; they shouldn't think that this is some tyrannical decision on your part. If they think they'll be behind, let them know that this means they can start taking college courses earlier -- if anything, this will speed up their education process. Encourage your child to stay in touch with friends they already have. You might encourage -- but do not force -- your child to become friends with another home-educated child as well. In many cases this will occur spontaneously if your family interacts with other homeschool families through co-op classes, field trips or homeschool sporting events.  One of the best things about homeschooling is that it doesn't take 8 hours to teach your child. In fact, at a brick-and-mortar institution, they'd spend most of their time waiting. You may be able to get done in 4 hours what their old school could get done in 7. That means more time for you and more time...

TL;DR in English: Prepare your younger children. Allow your tween or teenager plenty of time to adjust. Don't lose your child's old connections, in addition to forming new ones.

You will need 1 sheet for each floor in the house. Place the poster board on a flat work surface, such as a desk or table and then place the tracing paper over the poster board. Make sure that you have plenty of room to work and that the surface is flat and sturdy. The poster board is important since tracing paper is transparent. Identify where you want the borders of the house to be and then draw them to scale. However, make sure to consider the rooms and features that you want the house to have as you draw the outer walls. For example, you might make the exterior walls of your house 30 by 50 feet (9.1 by 15.2 m) if you want an extra-large living room. The second line you draw will be parallel to the first line all the way around. This second line indicates the thickness of your walls. The outer walls of the house should be at least 5.5 inches (14 cm) thick, but they can be thicker depending on your design and insulation plans for the house. For example, if you will be insulating the walls with hay bales, then the walls will need to be thick enough to accommodate the hay bales. After you have identified the inner and outer borders of the house, add lines inside the inner walls to indicate where rooms and hallways will be. Use 2 parallel lines for each of the walls and make the interior walls at least 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) thick. For example, you might create walls to indicate the borders of the bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways, kitchen, closets, living room, and dining area. ” If there will be a stairwell going from the first floor to the second floor, draw stairs and lines to indicate the walls alongside the stairwell. Then, write the word “up” at the base of the stairwell with an arrow pointing in the direction that people will walk up the stairs.  If your stairwell will not have walls on 1 or both sides, use a dotted line to represent the border of the stairwell. Do the same thing for the stairwells on the second floor of the house, except write "down" and draw an arrow to indicate where people will walk down...

TL;DR in English: Place 24 by 36 in (61 by 91 cm) tracing paper over the poster board. Draw the outline of the outside of the house. Add a second line to indicate the width of the house's walls. Create interior walls for separate rooms and hallways. Draw any stairways on the first floor and label them with “up.

There are a number of online courses available that can help you learn Spanish as well as other languages. Many of them are free, while others charge a small monthly subscription fee.  Many websites, such as Memrise and Duolingo, have mobile apps that allow you to take your learning with you wherever you go. This can make it easier to get in some practice with Spanish every day. Software programs, such as Rosetta Stone, can teach you Spanish relatively quickly. Rosetta Stone has been used by the U.S. State Department to enable new diplomats to learn a language quickly. If you want to learn Spanish fast, vocabulary words can help you get there faster than trying to memorize abstract grammar rules or spending time conjugating verbs.  For example, Memrise has a specific course called "First 5,000 words in Spanish." Taking this course can greatly expand your vocabulary and give you more words to use if you practice diligently. These programs are only as good as the effort you put into them. While you can learn a lot of words using online programs or mobile apps, you still need to supplement them with conversation and other immersion techniques. Otherwise you just know a bunch of Spanish words but don't have the ability to put them together. If you're trying to learn a new language through self-study, you must be diligent. Practicing every day will keep the Spanish words and phrases you learn fresh in your mind. All you need is a few minutes a day. Typically you'll learn fastest if you have 20 or 30 minutes each day that you can dedicate to language learning. Spend half your time reviewing and reinforcing what you've already learned, and then try to pick up something new. If the website you use has forums for members, these can be a good way to practice your Spanish as well as ask questions and get tips from other users who are also trying to learn Spanish. Some online programs and mobile apps have ways to connect you with other users so you can practice your conversation skills. Otherwise, talk to friends and...

TL;DR in English: Search for online courses. Sign up with free programs to learn vocabulary. Do a Spanish lesson every day. Contribute to Spanish blogs and forums. Practice speaking.

If your gift card requires activation, there’s usually a white sticker or some other indicator prominently displayed on the front that says so. These stickers typically provide a toll-free number or a website link that you need to use to activate the card.  If you don’t see this sticker or something similar on your card, it’s probably ready to use and doesn’t need activation. You can also check for specific instructions printed on the back of the card or included with the packaging. If a card needs to be activated, the ID number and activation code will be on the sticker. Gift cards that need activation may also require you to use a PIN number. Flip the card over and look for a sticker or area that looks similar to scratch-off material on lottery tickets. Pull off the sticker or use a coin to scratch off the material to obtain the PIN number.  Be careful not to scratch the covering off too roughly, or you might remove the numbers underneath.  You may need the PIN number to activate the card and check the balance. Only some gift cards have PIN numbers. If you don’t see one on your card, don’t get worried! Dial the phone number on the sticker exactly as it appears and wait for instructions. Be sure to have your gift card in front of you so you can input or communicate the information required to complete the activation process. The phone number will probably be a toll-free 800 number. After you dial the number, you’ll either hear automated instructions or get a live customer service representative on the line. Follow the instructions you're given to correctly provide the activation numbers. If you can’t figure out if you need to activate the card or not, call the customer service number located on the back of the card. Follow the prompts until you get a live agent on the line. Then, ask them what you need to do. They can clear the matter up for you quickly! Be sure to read the information carefully, since some cards list 2 phone numbers: 1 for live customer service, and 1 for automated service that allows you...

Determine if the elastic is from the previous owner. Talk to the previous owner.

Measure the elastic around your ankle. Make sure the elastic stays straight. Use the right size safety pin. Keep the safety pin secured. Finished.

Obviously, it takes the participation of a male dog to get her pregnant. Think whether she has mated with a male dog, or whether it's possible that she escaped and found one to mate with. Castrated or neutered male dogs can mate with a female but cannot produce sperm to impregnate her. Entire (unneutered) male dogs, however, can impregnate her. If possible, contact the dog's owners to confirm. The exception is a dog who was castrated in the recent past–less than four weeks before the mating. There is a theoretical risk that he could have sperm retained in his tubes, which he ejaculates during the mating. This risk is small, but cannot be completely ruled out. This can give you vital information about whether it's possible she is pregnant. If the event happened three months ago, then she cannot be pregnant. This is because the average gestation (length of pregnancy) is 62 to 65 days (with a range from 57 to 72 days). If she had got pregnant then, by 90 days she would have given birth already. This can help your vet decide which is the best test to detect pregnancy. Pregnancy diagnosis methods depend on detecting hormonal changes, physical changes, or identifying embryos in the womb. Which test is the most likely to give a definitive answer depends on the number of days that have passed since mating. If a bitch was mated and the heat has not yet finished, it is too early to know if she is pregnant.

TL;DR in English: Recall whether it's possible she has mated with a dog. Determine whether that dog is castrated. Record the date she mated. Establish the dates your female dog was in heat.

Hold the base of the clasp in one hand and press down on the latch with the forefinger on your other hand. It's easiest to use your dominant hand for pressing down the latch. If you're used to opening lobster clasps regularly on necklaces and bracelets, you can probably do this with one hand. Press down on the latch with your forefinger and support the bottom of the clasp with your thumb.

TL;DR in English: Press down on the latch to open the clasp.

Part of what makes people so nervous about asking somebody out is the possibility of rejection, or the idea that she will somehow be upset or annoyed that you asked her. But keep in mind that being asked out is flattering, no matter what the circumstances, and that you will probably be making her day just by asking her. This will save you a lot of time and trouble, and allow you time to make other arrangements, if necessary.  If you don't know whether or not she already has a date, try asking one of her friends, or bring up the topic of homecoming with her so that you can inquire about her plans. Don't try to convince her to ditch her date if she has one. It will be unfair to the other person, and reflect poorly on you. Remember: just because you aren't going to homecoming together, doesn't mean you won't have a chance with her in the future! Think of other girls (if any) that you'd like to ask out so that you're not left hanging in the event that your first choice says no. Having backups will also help ease some of the nervousness you may be feeling. You can ask her straight up either in person, over the phone, or over the computer. If you're feeling more creative, come up with a less straight-forward romantic gesture like leaving a note or flowers on her car or in her locker.

TL;DR in English: Remember that even if a girl says no, the gesture will be appreciated. Determine whether she already has a date. Keep your options open. Decide how you'd like to ask her.

Being overweight and living a sedentary lifestyle puts you at an increased risk for prostate cancer. Start a regular exercise program, even if it's just walking for 20 minutes every other day. Add resistance training to strengthen your muscles. Interval training may be a good choice if you don't have a lot of spare time to devote to training and exercise. Not having a good balance between work and play can increase stress levels, which in turn causes your body to produce more DHT. Set aside 15 or 20 minutes each day to do something that is fun for you.  Choose a restful, calming activity, such as reading a book, coloring, or working a jigsaw puzzle. You also want to make sure you're getting enough sleep. Too little sleep can also increase your stress level, leading to increased DHT levels. Stress may cause your body to convert more testosterone to DHT. A massage not only reduces overall stress, it can also stimulate and improve circulation, which can encourage hair growth. Try a massage every other week for a couple of months and see if you notice any improvement in your overall stress level. On top of the other health risks of smoking, smokers also have higher DHT levels than non-smokers. If you have elevated DHT levels and you smoke, quitting can help normalize your body's DHT production.  Because cigarette smoking increases levels of DHT and other hormones, it may cause an increased risk of prostate cancer (although some studies have shown the opposite). Smoking does increase the likelihood of death from prostate cancer. Smoking in and of itself also causes hair loss, regardless of the effect of smoking on DHT levels.

TL;DR in English: Exercise 3 to 5 days a week. Schedule time for rest and relaxation. Get a massage to reduce stress. Quit smoking.

Most homes built before 1970 often have lead-based paint on the walls, doorways, stairwells, and baseboards. If your home is old and you know it was built in the early or mid 1900s, it may have lead-based paint. Often, historic buildings or homes that are old and have not been renovated contain lead-based paint. If you do not own the home and are a renter, talk to your landlord about the age of the home. Ask them if they know if there is lead-based paint in the home. If you own the home, contact the previous owners to find out if they know if there is lead-based paint in the house. Examine the paint in the home to determine if it is peeling, flaking off, or deteriorating in any way. If it is lead-based, this may be cause for alarm. Lead-based paint that is deteriorating can pose a health hazard, as it will release lead dust as it breaks down.  Pay extra attention to paint that is on doorways or stairwells. These areas usually get more wear and tear, causing the paint to crack, flake, and peel. If you notice the paint is deteriorating and suspect it may be lead-based, test the paint so you can address the issue immediately.

TL;DR in English: Determine if the paint is from 1970 or earlier. Talk to the owner of the home, or the previous owners. Check if the paint is deteriorating.

To determine how much elastic to insert into your pant leg, try measuring the elastic around your ankle or around the ankle of the person who will wear the pants. This will help to ensure that your elastic pant leg hem will be a good fit. Wrap the elastic around the ankle without stretching it and then cut it about an inch past the area where the two ends meet. Keep in mind that you do not want to make your elastic bands too tight or too loose. Aim for a comfortable fit. As you work the elastic through the hem, make sure that the elastic does not get twisted. This could affect the look of your finished project. If the elastic does get twisted, then try to untwist it. If you cannot get it untwisted, then you may need to start over and try again. Using a larger safety pin may make your work go faster, but you cannot always use a large safety pin. The size of your casing will determine what size safety pin you can use. If you have wide casing, then you can go with a larger safety pin. If you have a small casing, then go with a small safety pin. Make sure that the safety pin does not open while you are working it through the casing. If it does, try to fasten it again without snagging the fabric. If you cannot get it fastened again, then pull the elastic out and start over.

Blend the rolled oats to make oat flour. Mix in the rest of the ingredients. Heat and grease a skillet over medium heat. Pour some pancake batter onto the skillet. Wait until bubbles form to flip the pancake. Cook the pancake for 1 to 2 more minutes. Continue making pancakes until you run out of batter. Serve the pancakes.

Your nausea may get worse if you try to do too much or if you are not getting adequate rest. Stay at home in bed as soon as you start to get nauseous. Laying down, avoiding exercise and sudden movements, and getting a bit more sleep will slow and stop your nausea and reduce your chances of vomiting. If necessary, take time off of work or school to do so. Staying in a single sick room may be easy, but the air will go stale and make you feel worse. Open a few windows to allow a breeze of fresh air, and when possible, take a few minutes to step outside. Taking a bubble bath may sound great, but adding in overly-scented perfumes will likely upset your stomach more. In general, avoid anything (perfumes or otherwise) with a very strong scent. Smell and taste are connected, so a strong smell can make you feel equally as sick as a bad taste. Keep your window open to allow fresh air in, and to keep bad smells out. The brightness, noise, and movement associated with your television, laptop, tablet, and phone can be overly stimulating and make an upset stomach worse. Instead, lay in bed with the lights dimmed and read a book or relax in a similar way. Taking time away from your electronics will ease your stomach and prevent an associated headache as well. Nothing is worse than feeling sick and being too hot or too cold as well. Stay at a comfortable temperature to make resting easy; add or remove layers of clothing and blankets, or take a short shower or bath. You can change the temperatures of the liquids you are drinking to help as well. If your stomach ache simply won’t go away and the urge to vomit is growing stronger, don’t stop it. Your body is trying to expel the cause of your illness from your body, so let it. Vomiting is certainly not an enjoyable activity, but it does an important job of helping you to heal. You’ll probably feel better afterwards anyway.

TL;DR in English: Get rest. Get some fresh air. Avoid strong smells. Take time away from your electronics. Adjust your temperature. Don’t avoid throwing up.

Avoid doing anything exhausting or overly-stimulating in the 12 hours leading up to your flight. Instead, take your time to pack, enjoy a meal at the hotel, or hang out on a balcony. If you end up rushing or running around before you leave, you’re going to come home stressed. Travelling can take a toll on you, even if you’re having fun while you’re doing it. Sleep in a little, make yourself some delicious food, and spend the next day doing something relaxing. This will give you time to recharge and get you ready to reenter the normal swing of things.Feel free to catch up on some work emails if you have hundreds of them waiting for you. Just don’t overdo it by spending more than 2-3 hours working on a day you set aside for yourself. Your trip will be more memorable if you compile an actual photo album for the trip. This will give you a way to share your experience and really commit everything you did to memory. Putting a photo album together also gives you a chance to revisit everything you did. This is a phenomenal way to take a sort of mini-vacation for a few hours as you sort through all of the great photos!

TL;DR in English: Spend the 12 hours before your flight relaxing and resting. Set aside one extra day of relaxation after you land. Create a photo album to remember your trip fondly.

MacBooks produced in 2015 and later have one USB-C port—also known as a Thunderbolt 3 port—located on the left side of the housing. If your MacBook was made from 2009 through 2015, it has a Mini DisplayPort on the left side of the housing.  The Mini Displayport has a port that is square-shaped with the bottom corners cut.  It has a label that resembles a TV screen. You'll need a USB-C to HDMI cable for MacBooks made in 2015 or later, while MacBooks which use Mini DisplayPort connections will require a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cable.  You can find your required cable in stores such as Best Buy, or you can find them online in places like Amazon and eBay. When buying an adapter cable, don't worry about spending more than around $15. Higher-priced cables don't necessarily equate to higher quality. This will prevent accidental damage to your TV. Your TV should have at least on HDMI port.  An HDMI port resembles a 3/4 inch pentagonal slot.  They're usually on the back or the side of the TV.  Match the shape of the cable connector with the HDMI port and insert the cable into the port. For a MacBook made in 2015 or later, you'll plug the USB-C end of the cable into the oval port on the left side of your MacBook.  For 2009 through 2015 MacBook models, the Mini DisplayPort end of the cable will plug into the port that has a label that resembles a TV screen. If you are using a USB-C adapter to connect to a TV, make sure your MacBook is charged before you begin. Press the power button on your TV or remote to power your TV on.

It’s best to boost your health with fresh garlic. However, you can also boost your health by using dried garlic capsules. You can get these at most health food stores and vitamin or wellness retailers.  Read product labeling to ensure that your chosen capsule has allium in it, which is important for reaping its health benefits. Following dosing instructions to ensure you get maximum health-boosting benefits.  Avoid purchasing dried garlic tablets. The process used to make these destroy the health compounds in garlic. While supplements are not regulated by the FDA, you can choose a product that has a USP seal to ensure that what is in the bottle matches what the label says. This can also help you to choose the safest product possible. Some other types of seals that may indicate the product is trustworthy include: NSF International UL Consumer Lab

TL;DR in English: Swallow dried garlic capsules. Look for a United States Pharmacopeia (USP) verified product.

Pour 1 cup (100 grams) of oats into a blender or food processor. Blend the oats until they form a fine mixture, like flour. Add in the ricotta, yogurt, egg whites, baking soda, and honey. At the very end, add in the lemon zest and the lemon juice. Mix everything together until well-combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the walls of the blender/food processor occasionally to ensure that everything mixes evenly. ⅓ cup (81 grams) egg whites equals about 2 large eggs. Heat the skillet over medium heat until it's hot enough to make a drop of water sizzle. Next, grease it's surface with cooking spray, oil, or butter. If you used oil or butter, be sure to wipe most of it off with a paper towel. This will keep your pancakes from turning greasy and splotchy. Plan on using about ¼ cup (60 milliliters) of batter. These types of pancakes are meant to be thin, but you can make them thicker if you want to. Use a soup ladle to make the pouring easier. Once the edges of the pancake turn dry and the bubbles pop, use a spatula to loosen the edges. Carefully slide the spatula under the pancake, then flip it over. These pancakes are delicate compared to other types. Don't worry if your first few don't turn out perfect. It's ready when it's a golden color on both slides. Use a spatula to slide the pancake off of the pan and onto a plate. You have enough batter to make around 15 pancakes. How much you actually end up making also depends on the size and thickness of the pancakes. Re-grease the pan after every couple of pancakes. Remember to wipe any excess oil or butter off. They taste delicious with syrup, Greek yogurt, and fresh blueberries. You can also use lemon curd instead.

As you get close to graduation, your program will submit your name to Pearson Vue – the testing company that administers the CDR. Check with your advisor to make sure that your name has been submitted. If you’ve attended a CP, your internship will be part of your education. If you attended a DPD, you’ll have to complete your internship on your own. Once the internship is complete, Pearson Vue will email you with instructions for registering for the exam. Once you’ve registered for the exam, you’ll need to pay for it. It’s $200 to register for and take the exam. You’ll have to pay online with a credit or debit card. Once you’ve paid the registration fee, you’ll get an email from Pearson Vue about scheduling the date and time of the exam. When you go for your exam, you’ll need to bring a copy of your eligibility email – which should have come from your program after you finished your internship. You also need to bring a drivers’ license or state photo ID. You need a score of 25 or higher to pass the exam. Because the number of questions you have to answer varies from exam to exam, how many you have to answer correctly to pass will vary. If you fail, you can retake the exam after 45 days.  You'll have to pay the same amount for the retake as you did for the original exam. There is no limit to how many times you can retake the exam, as long as you wait 45 days between each attempt. After you pass the CDR, you’ll get information from Pearson Vue on how to maintain your RD credential. You’ll have to pay a maintenance fee and take part in continuing education opportunities every 5 years.

TL;DR in English: Make sure your school submits your name for eligibility. Check your email after you complete your internship. Pay for the exam. Schedule your exam within a year of becoming eligible. Bring the correct documentation. Retake the exam if necessary. Maintain your credential.

Make sure that you have enough fabric to wrap around the holder, plus an additional inch for overlapping. You can use solid-colored or patterned fabric. Cotton will work the best. Mod Podge). Use a foam brush to apply the glue to the holder. To make things easier and less messy, it would be a good idea to apply it to just the front. Press the fabric onto the front of the holder and smooth out any wrinkles. Apply more decoupage glue to the sides and back, and wrap the fabric tightly. Overlap the edge of the fabric at the back by ½ inch (1.27 centimeters). Make sure that the fabric is centered. You will have a lot of excess fabric at the front. Don't worry about this; you will trim it away. Set the holder upside down over something long and skinny, such as a bottle or candlestick as it dries. Even an empty paper towel holder will do. Once it has dried, trim off the excess fabric around the top and bottom of the holder. Next, set the charger down, with the back against a cutting mat, and cut out the charger hole.  You can use scissors or a craft blade to cut off the excess fabric at the top and bottom of the holder. Use a craft knife to cut out the charger hole. Brush on more decoupage glue using the same method as before. This time, make sure that you extend it past the edges of the holder, including the top, bottom, and charger hole. This is your final coat, so be sure to use a finish that you like: matte, satin, or glossy. Trace the bottom of the holder onto the wrong side of your fabric with a pen. Cut the fabric out, then secure it to the base of the holder with decoupage glue. Let the holder dry upside down (just like before), then seal it with a final coat of decoupage glue.

TL;DR in English: Choose a colorful fabric to match your decor. Coat the outside of the holder with decoupage glue (ie: Wrap the cotton fabric tightly around the holder, overlapping it at the back. Allow the fabric to dry. Cut off the excess fabric and charger hole. Apply another coat of decoupage glue, making sure to coat the edges, and let it dry again. Cover the bottom of the holder, if desired.

Many indoor and outdoor air conditioning units will have a drain or drain line in the bottom corner of the drain pan at the bottom of the unit. It will look like a hole in the pan, and on some models, there will be a nozzle with a rubber or plastic line coming out of the other side. Make sure the drain isn't blocked or plugged so water and cleaner can drain as you clean the coils.  If it has a drain line that seems to be clogged, pour a 50/50 water and bleach solution in the drain pan and wait a few minutes to clear it out. You can purchase algae tablets from air conditioning specialty retailers to prevent algae from growing and clogging the drain. With the cover set aside, you can look around at the air conditioning coils and make sure there's no large bits of debris that may have worked their way into the unit. It's not uncommon for leaves, sticks or bugs to find their way into the interior of an outdoor unit.  You might want to use a shop vacuum for things like spiderwebs if you're uncomfortable removing them by hand. Be careful touching the fins, or blades, on the coil. They bend easily. Most compressors and motors in modern air conditioning units are maintenance free, but keep an eye out for dark drip marks on the bottom of the compressor housing or beneath it. That may be a sign of an internal oil leak.  If the compressor or motor are leaking oil, it will need to be repaired by a certified technician. Don't attempt to over-tighten connections on the compressor or motor, as you may worsen the leak. Be sure to use your garden hose and not a power washer, as too much force could bend the fins inside the air conditioning unit. Spray the coils down to remove any loose dirt and prepare the coil for a spray cleaner.  If the fan is still in place, avoid spraying it or its wiring directly with the hose. If your unit is indoors, you will need to use a different kind of cleaner for the next step.

TL;DR in English: Clear out the drain line (when applicable). Remove large debris from inside the unit with your hands. Look for signs of oil leaks. Spray the coil with water from the hose if its outdoors.

Because bleaching is so tough on the hair and can severely dehydrate it, you must make sure that it’s properly moisturized beforehand. For approximately two weeks before you bleach, do a deep conditioning mask twice a week to ensure your hair is fully hydrated. If your hair is extremely dry, you may want to use the deep conditioning treatment as much as three times a week leading up to the bleaching. You can purchase bleach powder at beauty supply stores, but you must mix it with a developer before you apply it to your hair. Add the amount specified by the packaging for the bleach and developer to a non-metallic bowl and stir them together well.  Developer comes in different strengths. To lighten your hair and limit the damage, opt for a 30-volume developer. If your scalp is very sensitive, though, you may want to use a 20-volume developer. If you’re new to bleach, you might want to start with a 10- or 20-volume developer. This will let you go through the process a bit more slowly, though you may not get your desired shade immediately. While bleach works best on virgin hair, you can still use it on hair that’s been colored before. Bleaching damage is usually worse the darker that you hair is. To get the best coverage, use a dye or tint brush to paint the bleach mixture onto your hair. Use the pointed end of the brush to part your hair so you can get as close to the roots as possible. Carefully brush the bleach mixture through to the ends of your hair.  Be sure to wear rubber gloves when you’re applying the bleach mixture to your hair. If you don’t mind having some roots showing, you may prefer not bringing the bleach all the way to your scalp. That can help limit the damage to your follicles. After you’ve applied the bleach all over your hair, allow it to sit for approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Check on your hair every 15 minutes or so until it reaches your desired shade – whether light blond, yellow, or medium brown.  Refer to the instructions that came with your bleach, as different brands have different...

TL;DR in English: Deep condition regularly beforehand. Mix the bleach with a developer according to the package instructions. Apply the bleach to the hair with a tint brush. Let the bleach sit for about half an hour. Rinse the beach out your hair. Work a toner through the hair and let it sit. Wash out the toner and apply a conditioning mask.

Before you proceed to editing your film watch all your footage through, writing notes on every shots stating if it works, are there technical problems. This will save you a lot of time when editing. Many cameras edit in limited ways and some have special effects. Learn how to "cut" pieces of your footage together and put music or speech over your video. Check your camera's manual or use a software package like iMovie to make your final cuts. One way is to use your VCR or DVD burner to make copies for friends and auditions. If your film is digital, you can also output your final edit to a readable format to send via email. Also if your film is in digital format you can upload to YouTube or another video sharing site. Check up with the website's video formats to see if you can upload your movie.

TL;DR in English:

You can maximize the growing season in your area by getting a head start with your artichokes indoors.  Start your seeds in individual 4 in (10 cm) containers and leave them under fluorescent lights or in a heated greenhouse. In normal indoor temperatures, seeds will likely germinate in a week or so. Increase the size of planters as needed. To harden off the artichokes, begin exposing seedlings to temporary outdoor sessions 6 weeks before the anticipated last frost date in your area. Move seedlings outdoors 3 to 4 weeks before the anticipated final frost. You actually want to expose the plants to a temperature below 45 °F (7 °C) to trigger flowering. They should be about as tall as your hand. Plant the seedlings so that the crown, or top, of the plant is just above the soil line. Cull weak seedlings.  After 8-10 weeks, healthy artichoke seedlings will have stocky stems and two sets of leaves. Remove any that do not. If you live in a place that only has 90-100 days a year without frost, you’ll likely need to start your plants with transplants.  Plan to start growing your transplants indoors late in the winter or in early spring.  Harvest will occur in late summer or early fall.  Acquiring rooted shoots from a year-round greenhouse or online plant distributor is a great way to establish transplants quickly. If acquiring them yourself, use a serrated knife to begin cutting an offshoot under 10 inches (25 cm) tall that’s growing from the base of the plant. Dig around the offshoot to ensure roots come with the offshoot as you remove it. If possible, 4 feet (1.2 m)-6 feet (1.8 m) between individual plants is even better.  These plants have large, aggressive wingspans and require substantial room to grow. If using raised beds, artichokes don’t necessarily need their own beds, but do need ample space to spread their leaves.

TL;DR in English: Sow seeds indoors. Transfer seedlings outdoors. Use transplants in especially cold climates. Plant artichokes at least 3 feet (0.9 m) apart.

At minimum, you should wear safety goggles and heat-resistant, fire-resistant gloves. Also note that you will need to handle the stainless steel object with another device, like tongs or a vice. Everything you use should be both fire-resistant and heat-resistant to prevent accidental burns. You'll need to prepare enough coffee grounds to cover all sides of the stainless steel object you wish to antique.  If you've recently made a pot of coffee, you can use the spent grounds from that. Otherwise, pour enough warm to hot water over a fresh batch of grounds and give the grounds a few minutes to absorb the moisture For small, narrow objects like screws, you can fill a small cup with your prepared grounds. For larger objects, coat the bottom of a shallow tray with the grounds, instead. Hold the metal object with tongs or a vice, then pass the flame of a lighter over the entire length of the object, heating it thoroughly.  Continue rotating and passing the flame over the stainless steel object until the metal begins to darken in color. For larger objects or a more controlled flame, consider using a propane tank with a lighter attachment instead of a handheld lighter. The stainless steel will reach temperatures just beneath 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius), so you need to work very carefully to prevent accidental burns. As soon as the steel object darkens, quickly dip the heated portion into the prepared coffee grounds. Hold it in the grounds for 15 to 30 seconds.  The water in the coffee grounds should quickly cool off the metal. Theoretically, the steel should be safe to touch once you remove it from the grounds, but you should still proceed with caution. In addition to cooling off the metal, the coffee should dye the stainless steel, giving it the appearance of antiqued metal. If you want to dye the steel even darker, reheat it and submerge it into the coffee grounds again.  You should be able repeat the process several times without damaging the metal. If you only want to dye one side or area darker,...

TL;DR in English: Wear the appropriate safety gear. Fill a container with warm, moist coffee grounds. Heat the steel using a lighter. Bury the steel in the coffee grounds. Repeat as needed. Polish as desired.

In some countries, a vaccine against rotavirus is available for children. Children under one year old can be administered the vaccine. In most cases, the rotavirus vaccine will prevent a child from experiencing severe symptoms of gastroenteritis throughout his or her life. Use hand sanitizer often. Always wash your hands after going to the bathroom, visiting public spaces, before and after eating, and whenever deemed appropriate throughout the day. Be sure to wash any clothing items, bedding, and/or washable toys that come into contact with an infected individual to avoid spreading the virus. Use a chlorine bleach-based cleaner to sterilize countertops in your home and avoid bacteria from spreading. Over the course of a day, the average person often comes into direct contact with bacteria and viruses that have the potential to cause sickness. Be sure to avoid touching your face, especially orifices such as your mouth, nose, eyes, and ears as much as possible throughout the day. Be sure to wash your hands before touching your face if possible. These foods have a higher ability to spread the stomach flu virus. Meats are especially prone to carrying the virus. Consume undercooked and raw meats and other foods with extreme caution.  Do not drink untreated water or unpasteurized milk when possible. Untreated or unpasteurized waters can carry illness-inducing bacteria and viruses. Only drink from sealed bottles and use bottled water to brush your teeth when you are travelling. Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before consuming to remove any outstanding bacteria from the outside of the produce.

TL;DR in English: Get a vaccine. Practice good hygiene. Clean kitchen and bathroom surfaces daily. Avoid touching your face throughout the day. Avoid undercooked and raw foods.

Browse online or in at a local retailer to find a stereo that fits your needs.  Make sure to do research on the brand you choose and confirm the quality of your choice. This list can change from vehicle to vehicle, but the basic tools include: screwdrivers, wire strippers, wire cutters, and electrical tape. You might also need a panel remover tool and factory stereo removal pins depending on your vehicle. This can be very helpful in knowing exactly which pieces of dash to remove and how to remove them. If your owner's manual or service manual does not provide the details you need, you might try looking for a Haynes Service Manual for your car.

This may be difficult if you have just started dating each other, but if you have been seeing each other for a while, then you may already be comfortable with them. Keeping in touch with his family gives you another source of information, but more importantly, it gives you access to a support system of people who understand how you feel.  They might be hurting just like you or could be struggling with similar feelings. You all may benefit from relying on each other a little and supporting each other during this difficult time. You may encounter some difficulty in getting information about your sailor from the Navy, if you are not married. Therefore, sticking close to his family can be a good source of information that you may not have easy access to yet. The group of people who are most likely to really understand what you are going though are other Navy girlfriends. Find an online community or a local community; if it is available where you live. As you make contacts and make friends, utilize these new friends for support. They may have some advice, or are having the same worries and fears you are. You'll find that these friends will be your greatest asset.  If you don't know where to start, try social media such as the US Navy's Loved Ones Facebook page. There are also nonprofit groups such as Give an Hour.  Connect to other girlfriends or significant others through your sailor's shipmates. As much as your sailor will be on your mind, you want to make sure you continue to live your life as well. Try not to sit around waiting for a call or email. Keeping busy by finding a hobby, sport, or work task will help you to do something active to ease your stress and anxiety instead.  Learn something new, like a language or a musical instrument. Pick up a new sport or fitness activity, like running or rock climbing. Spend some time with friends, playing games, going to the movies, or just hanging out.

The first thing you’ll need to do when you arrive at the airport is to locate your airline. Airports are divided into terminals, and different airlines are housed in different terminals. There are also different terminals for arrivals and departures. You will need to go to the departure terminal for your airline. You can find out what terminal your airline is in by looking online, calling the airport or by asking one of the employees at the airport. If you are taking mass transportation or having someone drop you off at the airport, make sure you let them know what airline you are flying so they drop you at the correct building. Depending on what you’ve packed, you may need to check a bag or two. Most airlines will allow you one carry-on bag, in addition to one hand-held bag (like a laptop case or a purse.) If you are planning to check bags, go immediately to the counter for your designated airline.  If you are not checking a bag, skip this step and proceed straight to check in. Travelers are allowed to check up to two bags, but there is a weight and size limit on those bags. Check with your airline to see what those weight restrictions are. Be careful not to over-pack, as going over the weight limit for checked baggage may result in fees of over $75.00. In order to board your plane, you’ll need a boarding pass. If you’ve chosen to check your bags, give your airline attendant your identification and they’ll be able to print out your boarding pass for you. If you’re not checking your bags, you can still go to the attendant for help, or you can choose an easier and faster option.  Some airlines also offer kiosks for self-check in. To use these, all you’ll need is a credit card. Use the credit card to identify yourself and then follow the instructions on the kiosk to print out your boarding pass.  Some airlines also give you the option of checking in electronically. If this is the case, you will receive an e-mail 24 hours before your scheduled departure. Follow the instructions in the e-mail to check in for your...

TL;DR in English:


Continue to get better. Be okay with not knowing. Manage your emotions.

Don’t put your nylons straight into the washing machine, as they can get hung up on the agitator. Instead, protect your stockings by placing them in a mesh bag with a fine weave. If you don’t have one, try using a pillowcase. Mild detergent will help preserve the life of your tights by protecting and conditioning the fibers. However, fabric softener will weaken the fibers, so leave that out of the wash. Always use cold water to wash your tights, as this will help the delicate fabric to last longer. Check your washing machine dials or user’s manual and place it on the gentlest setting available when you wash your nylons. Don’t wash anything with clasps, zippers, metal buttons, or hooks in the same wash as your nylons. These can snag your nylons in the wash, causing them to rip or snag.

TL;DR in English: Place your nylons in a very fine mesh bag. Use a mild detergent and skip the fabric softener. Wash tights on the cold, gentle cycle. Leave out anything that can snag your tights.

A Baker’s cyst occurs when fluid builds up in the back of the knee. This happens when something is wrong or injured inside the joint. However, this can also occur spontaneously without any trauma. Some people just get them and there is no known explanation. This cyst points to a larger underlying problem, like a torn meniscus, that needs to be found soon because the swelling can cause damage to the knee. Bursitis is inflammation or an injury to the prepatellar bursa. Bursa, a round, fluid-filled structure, help the kneecap move smoothly across other tissues without friction. If the bursa gets inflamed, it can cause surrounding tendons to become inflamed and pinched, resulting in pain.  Bursitis can cause stiffness or pain in the knee, as well as tenderness of the knee when touched and pain with movement. Pain is usually worsened by bending the knee and improved with extending the knee. The knee may also be swollen and red. Bursitis can be caused by repetitive motions, like bending or stooping. You can also get it by putting pressure on the joint by kneeling for too long on a hard surface. Patellar tendinitis occurs when you do the same motion on your knee, like running or cycling. Patellar tendinitis is when the tendon between your kneecap and shin becomes inflamed.  Pain is the main symptom of patellar tendinitis. The pain is located beneath your kneecap, near the place it attaches to your shin. The pain may surround a workout, either as you begin or after you finish one. Eventually, the pain will make it difficult to stand or take stairs. Arthritis of the knee occurs when the knee joint swells. Arthritis generally occurs with age or due to a knee injury. It can make everyday tasks difficult, like standing and sitting, walking, or taking stairs. Pain, swelling, and stiffness are common symptoms of arthritis of the knee.  Osteoarthritis (OA) occurs due to age. It can start around age 50, but may affect younger people. OA occurs due to the wear and aging of the cartilage of the knee, which causes less...

TL;DR in English: Determine if you have a Baker’s cyst. Decide if you have bursitis. Monitor for tendinitis. Check to see if you have arthritis of the knee.

There are many herbs that can help with breathing and lung health. There is not one correct way to take any of these herbs. You can drink them by making them as teas. You can also take them as supplements. If you don't want to ingest them, you can use these herbs as aromatherapy by heating them in water and letting the scent permeate the room. To make a tea, use one teaspoon of dried herb per cup of boiled water. If you use as a supplement, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The Italian herb oregano is a natural decongestant, anti-microbial and anti-histamine. The active agents appear to be volatile oils called carvacrol and rosmarinic acid. You can add this herb, either fresh or dried, to recipes for tomato sauces and to rubs on meats. You can also take oregano as a supplement in its oil form. Peppermint's active ingredient is menthol. Menthol relaxes the respiratory tract muscles and acts as an anti-histamine. You can use peppermint as a fresh or dried herb in recipes for fish or desserts. You can also get it as an oil, which you put in food, take it as a dietary supplement, or apply it as a topical cream. There are also some versions of the oil that you can burn to permeate through the air.  Don’t apply peppermint or menthol oil directly to the skin of children. It has been associated with a decrease in the respiratory rate in children.  Many people use menthol-based chest balms and throat sprays to help break up congestion. The leaves of a eucalyptus tree have been used for centuries. It's a natural decongestant, which loosens mucus, making it easier to cough out. The agents responsible for these properties are cineole, eucalyptol and myrtol. Clinical research suggests that eucalyptus can effectively treat chronic and acute bronchitis. You can take eucalyptus oil by mouth or as a topical rub, but it must be diluted.  Eucalyptus oil vapor acts as a decongestant when it is inhaled, making it effective in the treatment of bronchitis. Try placing a couple of drops of the oil into a bowl of hot water and...

TL;DR in English: Take herbal supplements or make herbal tea. Try oregano for a natural decongestant. Use peppermint to help relax your respiratory system. Try eucalyptus as a natural decongestant. Take additional herbal supplements, as advised by your doctor.

You will need hair dye specially formulated for dark hair and a color remover to help strip the color from your hair. Bleach and ammonia are commonly used to strip hair, though since these can be very damaging, you might consider using a sulfur-based color remover. Read all product information before use. Some products might be specially formulated to require extra steps or specific wait times/procedures. Follow the directions for the best results. These products will be much gentler on your hair, unlike bleach or ammonia. As these are sulfur-based products, they can be quite smelly, but you don't have to worry about that smell sticking around. To help with the smell, you might want to step outside while allowing it to set. Each product will be different, and you should follow the directions that accompany your preferred product for best results. Spacing out hair coloring over the course of a month, or several months, will not only give you better, more accurate results, but will also do the least amount of damage. Also, changing your color by shades will help ensure that you meet your target without overshooting it. A lighter shade of dye, like a 20 volume developer, can be used to lighten gradually with each application. You should space out dye applications as much as possible. A deep conditioner is a must to help keep your hair hydrated while dyeing. You should also think about using a product with protein added to it to help, which will strengthen and hydrate. Use these products throughout the dyeing process to protect your hair from damage. Hair is unique to each individual, and if your lightening techniques don't accomplish your desired results, it may be best to visit a professional. Professional hair stylists are often able to easily strip your dark hair of its color and add a lighter color on top of it. While you are at the salon, you should inquire about lightening shampoo or spray-in treatments. Professional hair stylists will have a better idea of how it will affect your hair. Many products are...

Just because you are in a place where you are gaining more authority doesn't mean that you are a perfect worker. Always strive to do better and to improve your work ethic. Make smart decisions that will help your company, not hold it back. This will give you more authority as well, since your bosses will see how smart and forward thinking you are. If you are not sure what to do to improve your position, ask your boss, manager, or supervisor. They will likely tell you what you can do to improve, what responsibilities you can take on to help the company, or how you can become more involved. This will also help raise your level of authority because it will show your initiative. There may be situations that you are uncomfortable with or don't know how to handle. One of the signs of an authoritative worker is being able to handle any situation that comes at you. When a situation presents itself, be okay with saying something like "I appreciate your question, and I'll think it over and get back to you." It shows that you are considerate of your coworker's thoughts and will consider their questions and opinions. This also has the added bonus of giving you time to contemplate questions coworkers bring up and get back to them with well thought out, authoritative answers. One of the worst things you can do is get angry in front of your coworkers. If you are confident and have authority, you do not need to get angry at certain situations just because you have the power to fix them. Even if a situation upsets you, don't let it show in front of others. If you do, it will appear that you do not know a more effective way to approach the  situation. This is true for when you have to discuss sensitive issues with co-workers as well. For example, if you have to talk over an employee's performance issues, remain calm and collected. Be concerned and stern, but not angry or hostile.

TL;DR in English:


Place your baby in the tub. Keep a hand on your baby at all times. Start washing your baby. Do not step away from your baby. Take your baby out of the tub. Clean the tub.

Cornrow braids are recommended because they stay close to your head, so you won’t see a “bump” under your wig. The braids are also useful because you can add extra security to keeping the wig in place by using bobby pins to attach the wig to your braids.  Alternatively, you could put on a wig cap to hide your natural hair. If you have short hair, you don’t have to worry about doing anything to your hair before putting on the wig. Wigs will often move around when you try to brush them while wearing them. A chin strap clips onto both sides of the wig and will keep the wig in place as you complete your styling. Simply put on the wig, clip the chin strap to either side of the wig, and make sure it is securely under your chin. You can find chin straps for $3 to $5 online or at a wig store. The way you secure the wig depends on how long you plan to wear the wig. If you plan to wear it for a short amount of time, simply use bobby pins to attach the wig to your braids or hair. It’s also an option to put an elastic band around your head to hold the wig in place.  Some wigs may have drawstrings or clips inside of them to help secure them to your hair. Though you can use adhesive glue or tape to attach the wig, it may cause an allergic reaction or damage your natural hair. See a professional stylist if you want to try these methods. You can also sew the wig into your natural hair

TL;DR in English: Braid your natural hair before putting on the wig. Secure your wig with a chin strap to make finishing touches. Use bobby pins or an elastic band to secure the wig to your hair.

If two other people are starting to fight, you should try to diffuse the tension by appearing relaxed. Use a soothing tone of voice, nonthreatening body language (for example, keep your hands raised in front of your chest), and slow movements. Fights move quickly so you won't have a lot of time. You need to determine how serious the situation is, if you are in danger, whether you need to call for help, and what strategies might work best to stop the fight in this particular situation.  Try to determine whether anyone has a weapon or is likely to reach for an object to use as a weapon (for example, a bottle in a bar fight). If so, call the police and do not intervene. Try to move other onlookers, especially children, to safety. Notice whether the fighters have "back up," often in the form of onlookers who are egging on the fighters. Gang fights and similar situations are unpredictable and you should not try to intervene. Look around for any large objects that you can push between the fighters, like trash cans, desks, or anything else that is big but possible for you to quickly move into place. If either fighter has a weapon of any kind, call the police and do not try to intervene.  You should also call the police if you are physically unable to restrain a fighter or fear that your safety would be in jeopardy if you intervened. Unless a police officer happens to be in the vicinity, it may be too late by the time they arrive. If it is safe to do so, try to break up the fight yourself while you wait for them to arrive. If there is anyone else within hearing range, get them to help you break up the fight before attempting to do it yourself. In situations like this, onlookers don't generally stop to help unless you tell them specifically. So instead of yelling "Someone help me!" look someone in the eye and say "Help me stop the fight!"  If possible, choose someone who is larger than the fighters and looks strong and athletic. But in a pinch, any able-bodied adult will do! Don't leave the scene of a fight to get...

TL;DR in English: Stay calm. Assess the situation quickly. Call the police. Get help from another onlooker. Get between the fighters. Face the antagonist. Restrain an active fighter.

Before you take the valve out, you'll need to turn off the water to prevent leaks. Locate your shower's water stops and turn them clockwise to shut them off. If your water stops are turned on and off with screws, turn the screw tightly to the left with a screwdriver.  The water stops are typically found to the right and left of the valve cartridge. If there are 2 stops for hot and cold water, shut off both. Usually, the water stops will have flat head screw heads that let you turn them on and off. Turn off the water supply to the entire house if you cannot find the water stops for your shower. After you remove the trim plate, you should see a small opening in the wall. If the wall opening is not at least 12 inches (30 cm) by 12 inches (30 cm), you will need to enlarge it. Depending on whether the wall is made of glass, drywall, tiles, or another material, you will need to cut the hole to size.  If you are unsure how to cut the opening, ask a professional repairman. You can also research how to cut a hole safely and easily into your wall's material on a verified home improvement site. The hole should be small enough that you can still cover it with the handle and trim plate later on. Use the trim plate as a guide for the maximum size of your trim plate. Your shower valve should have a metal clip inserted into the top that holds it in place. Lift the clip up and out of place, setting it aside on a flat surface to prevent losing it.  If your valve clip is not damaged, you should be able to reuse it while securing the new cartridge in place. If it is, however, your new cartridge should come with its own valve clip. Some valve sets are secured with a retainer nut that holds them in place. To remove the nut, hold the valve while you unscrew the nut with a wrench. You can then proceed with removing your valve. Grip the metal end of the valve cartridge firmly and pull the valve back and out of the wall. If it gets stuck at any point, wiggle it as you go to dislodge it. After you take it out of the wall, set it aside...

TL;DR in English: Shut the water off. Cut an access hole to better reach the valve. Remove the valve clip with needlenose pliers. Use pliers to pull the valve out of the wall.

Your first step in bathing your baby is to introduce them to the water.  Take your time and gently place your baby into the water and allow them to get used to it.  Hold your baby in the following manner when you are lowering them into the bath:  Place one hand under the baby's bottom. Place your other hand under the baby’s head, supporting both the head and neck. Don't put your baby in the water too quickly as this might alarm them. You will always need to keep at least one hand on your baby during bath-time.  Taking both your hands off is too risky and can open your baby up to the danger of drowning.  Never take a chance and always keep full control over your child's safety.  Keep one hand under the baby's head or neck at all times. Use your free hand to wash your baby. Once your baby is safely in the water you can begin to bathe them.  Most parents will begin by washing the child's hair and head, before moving down to wash the rest of the body.   Keep some of the following tips in mind when cleaning your baby during their bath:  Start by washing the baby's head or face.  You won't always need to wash their hair. Gently pour water over the baby's body during the bath to keep them warm. Gently move down the rest of the body. Try to clean in between any skin folds. Wash your baby carefully and gently. Try cupping your hand to keep any rinse-water from entering the baby's eyes. Wash your baby's diaper area last. No matter what, do not ever leave your baby unattended during their bath.  Doing so puts them in harm’s way, opening them up the danger of drowning.  It only takes 3cm or around 1 inch of water for a baby to drown in and they won't always give obvious signs that they are in trouble. After your child is clean you can take them out of the tub.  Make sure you have a good and safe grip on them as you remove them from the water and dry them off immediately.  Remember some of the following tips when removing your baby from the tub:  Pick them up with both hands, placing one under their bottom and the other...

TL;DR in English:


Control your emotions. Say less. Minimize interactions. Be deliberate.

After you have cleaned the bra, place the bra on a flat surface with the adhesive bra cups facing upwards. Then, let the bra air dry overnight, or as long as it takes for it to dry completely. If you have the bra’s original packaging, you can place the bra on the package with the adhesive sides of the cups facing up. You may also hang your bra from a towel rack or hook to dry it. This is an especially good idea if you washed the entire body of the bra, and the bra may even dry faster this way. If you are in a hurry, try placing the bra in front of a fan to speed up the drying process.

TL;DR in English: Let the bra dry on a flat surface with the adhesive facing up. Hang the bra up to let it drip dry.

Set time aside. If you just walk up and ask for a raise, you'll seem unprepared -- and come across like you don't deserve one. You don't have to give too much advance notice, but do seek privacy and a time you know you won't be interrupted. For example, when you walk in to work in the morning, say: "Before you leave, I'd like to speak with you."  Remember, a face-to-face request is far harder to turn down than a letter or email. Try to avoid Monday, when there will be a million things to do, or Friday, when your boss may already have other things on his mind. Be confident, not arrogant, and stay positive. Speak politely and clearly to better maintain your composure. And finally, keep in mind that it probably won't be half as bad to ask as it did to work up the nerve! When you talk to your boss, lean in a bit if you're sitting down. This will help project confidence.  Start by saying how much you enjoy your job. Being personable will help make that human connection with your boss. Follow up by discussing your achievements. This will show your boss why a pay raise matters to you. Don't just say, "I want a raise." Tell your boss how much more money you want to make in percentage terms, such as wanting to make 10% more money. You can also talk in terms of how much you would like your yearly salary to increase. Whatever you say, be as specific as possible, so your boss sees that you've really thought it through. Here are the things that can happen:  If it's an outright "no," see the next section. If it's "I need time to think about this," try to pinpoint a future time for reopening the discussion. If your boss agrees immediately, say something like, "Don't say yes unless you mean it" as a means of reinforcing it in his or her mind and then proceed to "hold your boss" to it (see below). This is important regardless of the answer you’ve been given.You can even go "over and above" by giving your boss more than they're expecting from you, such as a thank-you card or lunch invitation to say thanks. Consider sending a...

TL;DR in English: Make an appointment to talk to your boss. Present yourself well. Ask for the raise in specific terms and then wait for your boss's response. Thank your boss for his or her time. Hold your boss to the promise

Once the mixture has reached the proper consistency, take the pan off the heat. Mix in ½ cup (150 g) of salt, and stir well so it is thoroughly incorporated. Make sure that the mixture is still hot when you add in the salt. After you’ve mixed the salt into the lye and oil mixture, leave it to cool completely, which should take 20 to 30 minutes. As it cools, the soap and glycerin will gradually separate into different layers. The soap will solidify into a thick layer on the top of the mixture, while the glycerine will remain liquid-y on the bottom. When the mixture has cooled completely, pour off the top soap layer from the top of the glycerin. You may find it easier to use a spoon to gently lift the soap off, though.  If you want to use the soap, add it to a soap mold and put it in the freezer for 24 hours. Let the soap bars air dry for at least 2 to 3 weeks to finish curing them. If you don’t want to make soap, you can discard the soap layer. Once you’ve removed the soap from the top of the mixture, transfer the liquid vegetable glycerine to a glass bottle. Seal the container tightly, and store it in the refrigerator. The vegetable glycerin should keep in the fridge for at least 3 to 4 weeks. You'll know that it has gone bad if it is no longer clear and instead appears cloudy. Glycerin that has gone bad may also develop a foul smell.

TL;DR in English: Remove the pan from the heat and add the salt. Allow the mixture to cool. Skim the top layer from the mixture. Pour the glycerin into a glass bottle.

People tend to see the material you use for comedy as a reflection of your personality. Learning the right material for the right audience can help you come off as funny without alienating or offending others.  Context is key. Where is it you're trying to be funny? Do you want to be the funny guy at work or school? Or are you looking to be the breakout sensation in your local improv troupe? Lighthearted, non-controversial material is best for a professional audience while laughing off slightly edgier subjects might win you favor in the world of professional comedy.  Remember, what you joke about is a reflection of you. If you tend to mock recent tragedies or controversies, people may feel uncomfortable around you. Being edgy can be a positive for a comedic career, of course, but if you're new to comedy it might be best to stick with lighter subjects until you get the hang of making people laugh.  Appropriate material can be found anywhere. People tend to appreciate those who find humor in a host of subjects. Try and see the funny side in aspects of day-to-day life. Anything from riding a bus to pouring your morning coffee can be used as fodder for humor. A great way to build your sense of humor is by exposing yourself to things that are funny. It's hard to force being funny but you tend to unconsciously take on traits of media you view. Just like writers become better writers through reading, immersing yourself in humorous material can help hone your sense of humor.  Watch funny clips of people online. Many YouTubers incorporate humor without explicitly telling jokes.  View funny movies and television shows. Late night talk show hosts are often funny through observational humor and funny, candid responses to their guests rather than overtly telling jokes.  Listen to funny podcasts and hang around people who enjoy laughing. Observe how people react in day-to-day life. You can gauge the type of material people find funny by doing some basic people-watching. Go to a coffee shop and watch people banter with...

TL;DR in English: Learn about appropriate material. Immerse yourself in funny things. Pay attention to people's reactions.

Most bake sales are for raising money for a charity or cause. Be sure you and your customers understand who or what you are raising money for. Have posters or other advertising materials. It may help to make pamphlets or other media presentations available to explain your charity. This is a great opportunity to promote your cause, too.  Put out a jar for tips or donations. If you are raising money for a cause, give people the opportunity to donate without buying. Some people may not be hungry, or cannot buy sweets due to dietary restrictions, but they still might want to support your organization. Make sure you know how to send your profits to your charity. Get your friends and family to help. If this is a fundraiser for a school, get the students involved. Let the kids have the option of participating in the fundraiser by baking goods with their parents to sell in the bake sale, and give them appropriate responsibilities.  Make clear what the cause is, when the bake sale is, and have reasonable shifts available. How many volunteers you will need will depend on the size of your proposed bake sale. A small bake sale may be easily handled by one experienced volunteer. However, a large bake sale may need several people to coordinate helping customers, the cash box, setting up and taking down, and baking. You might want to make one person in charge of organizing the volunteer bakers, one person in charge of renting the venue and the equipment needed, and one person in charge of publicizing the event. Generally, you want to be in a high traffic area. For instance, have your bake sale at a well-frequented public spot or in a school or college. If the bake sale is for your school, ask the Student Union, administration, or other appropriate staff for possible venues on the school grounds.  Sometimes retail stores will be happy to have a booth set up nearby. Community events, such as festivals and special events like street fairs, outdoor public concerts, and other big public events are all excellent choices. At...

TL;DR in English: Have a cause. Make your team. Decide on a venue. If you're in a public area, make sure you have a permit if needed. Decide on the time.

When dealing with someone you absolutely hate, make sure to control your emotions at all cost. In the back of your mind, you might be thinking how much contempt you have, but there is no way to be nice if you let your feelings get the better of you. Stay calm, think about your goal of being nice, and let your brain rule the day.  Think about your own behavior, rather than their behavior. Focus on your goal of being nice. Don’t let their comments or actions provoke you into rash behavior. Regardless of whatever they do or say, just stay cool. One tactic to use when talking to someone you hate is to say less than you normally would under other circumstances. Saying less will help you in several ways. It’ll open you up to less opportunities when you may let your contempt or hatred slip from your lips. It will also minimize the amount of time you’re actually engaging the person.  Be polite and kind, but keep your statements and responses relatively short and concise. Don’t be curt, but rather try to come off as quiet and thoughtful. If they question you about something, respond to them by telling them you’ll have to think about it, or you’ll get back to them later. This way, you’ll keep your response minimal and you’ll be able to think about your response. Perhaps the best way to maintain cordial relations with someone you don’t like is to minimize interactions with the person. Minimizing interactions will limit occurrences in which you might be mean to the person. The less face-to-face time, the more likely you’ll be able to control yourself and the less the person will actually wear on you and antagonize you.  Only interact when you have to. Think beforehand of reasons why you may have to excuse yourself. Don’t lie, but instead make obligations that you’ll have to attend to. Some examples might mean meeting up with family or friends elsewhere. Plan your schedule around them as to avoid them when possible. In every interaction with the person you hate, be deliberate about what you say and do. Being deliberate...

Injectable Narcan, labeled as EVZIO, comes in a case. Take the device out of the case, but do not remove the red safety guard until you are ready to inject the medicine. When you are ready to inject, remove the red safety guard. You might need to pull the red safety guard a little hard to get it off. Do not touch the black area of the EZVIO after you get the red safety tab off. This is where the needle is located. Place the black area of the device on the middle of the person's outer thigh so that it is right over the muscle. To inject the medicine, hold the device firmly against the person's thigh for five seconds. You do not need to remove the person's clothing to do this.  You will hear a click and hiss sound as the device automatically injects the medicine into the person's thigh. This is normal and means the device is working. The needle will retract into the device after the injection is complete. . Make sure to call 911 (or emergency services in your country) immediately after giving the injection or have someone call for help while you are giving the injection.

Like pancakes and crumpets, pikelets can be eaten plain, or topped with a variety of ingredients. Butter is a classic topping for pikelets, and you can combine it with other toppings as well.  When the pikelets are still warm, spread a thin layer of butter over each one. You can also stack a few pikelets on top of each other, and then place a dollop of butter on top of the stack. There are many ways that you can use fruit to garnish pikelets. You can serve them with fresh fruit cut into bite-sized pieces, you can top them with jam, or you can make your own fruit puree and drizzle that on top.  Great fruit to pair with pikelets includes strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. Crumpets are traditionally served with salted butter and jam, and you can serve pikelets the same way. Butter isn't the only option for spreading on pikelets, and there are many dairy products you can use to garnish these little griddlecakes, including:  Heavy cream Ricotta cheese  Devonshire cream Whipped cream or whipping cream For people who prefer their pikelets a little lighter, you can also serve them with sweet syrups, such as honey, corn syrup, maple syrup, birch syrup, or chocolate sauce. Make a stack of two or three pikelets on a plate. Top with a bit of butter, and then drizzle the entire stack with the syrup or sauce of your choice.

TL;DR in English: Spread butter on the pikelets. Top with jam or fruit. Serve with cream or cheese. Drizzle with honey or syrup.

The Xbox 360 can easily access the Internet wirelessly in an instant! It has a built in Wi-Fi adapter that allows it to connect to your router automatically. The first time you turn on your console, it will not yet automatically connect to the Internet, since it hasn’t memorized your router’s access information yet. In the Network menu, Xbox 360 will display all the Wi-Fi hotspots within its signal’s reach. Once the Xbox 360 detects your router in the Network, select it and you will be able to access the Internet. You may have to enter your router’s password first, depending on your router’s security settings. Xbox 360 will now remember this wireless setup and use it automatically on your following sessions.  If you have an Ethernet cable connected to your console, it will automatically go into “wired” Internet connection mode. If you want to stay connected wirelessly just disconnect the Ethernet cable from your unit. You may need to adjust your console’s wireless configuration setting if your console fails to connect to the Internet. When in doubt, set everything to automatic or simply reset to default.

TL;DR in English: Access Wi-Fi. Power on your console. Connect your router.

If you are in a situation where other people are shooting each other or someone is shooting at people that aren't you, your main goal should be to get as far away as possible. If you see that you can reasonably get away, do that as soon as you hear shots. If you don't know where the shots are coming from but you know there is a secure room very near by, go there. If you do not see a way to leave, then you will want to find cover. Get behind something that can stop bullets, preferably, like a very solid object. Thin walls or a door is not enough, though it can keep a shooter from realizing you're there. Cars are not bulletproof even though an engine block or some police car doors will stop bullets, even small calibers can penetrate a pair of doors or a trunk. Stay behind the cover, and if it is large enough get on the ground. Lying on the ground significantly reduces the likelihood of you getting shot. Do not stop to gather your belongings before fleeing an area. This can significantly impact the amount of time you have to get away and make a big difference in your ability to get away before the shooter realizes you're there. Just go. You're more important than your wallet. While taking cover or fleeing, be as quiet as possible. Breathe slowly and avoid crying. Alerting the shooter to your presence can put you in danger. Don't talk with people nearby or make phone calls. If you can, turn a phone on silent. Text if you want to get someone's help or attention. Once you are in cover, stay in cover. Do not move from one cover to another unless you absolutely have to. Staying put will also reduce the amount of noise you make and draw less attention to your presence. If you can take cover in a single, secure room, be sure to barricade the entrances. Lock doors, move heavy pieces of furniture to block the doors, cover windows if you can, and turn off lights and anything which makes sounds. Stay quiet and move as little as possible. Once you are in a relatively safe place, either barricaded or at least under cover,...

TL;DR in English: Leave the area if you can. Find cover. Leave your belongings. Stay quiet. Don't move. Barricade yourself. Wait for help to arrive.

Before getting started, you’ll need to gather the tools and equipment necessary to properly clean your cylinder heads.  Much of what you’ll need can be found around the house, though you will also need to use a chemical parts or brake cleaner that can be purchased from your local auto parts store.  You will also need access to warm water to soak the heads.  Gather the following supplies before getting started:  Brake or parts cleaner Canned air or access to an air compressor Two large tubs or buckets Paper towels or rags Plastic scraper When fully assembled, cylinder heads contain numerous small parts that need to be removed before the cleaning process can begin.  Most cylinder heads contain one or two camshafts, intake and exhaust valves with supporting hardware, and likely some ignition components such as spark plugs or ignition coils.  All of these parts must be removed and stored safely while cleaning the cylinder head.  Use care when removing the valve cover on the top of the cylinder head to prevent it from warping.  Loosen all of the bolts first, then proceed to unscrew them the rest of the way. Be careful not to lose any of the small pieces you removed. Some components of the cylinder head may need to be pressed out of the head using a machine press.  If you don’t have access to one, you may need to enlist the help of a machine shop. The process of cleaning your cylinder heads includes the use of chemical cleaning agents that are a serious hazard to your eyes and may irritate your skin due to prolonged contact.  In order to protect yourself, make sure to wear appropriate safety equipment at all times while cleaning your cylinder heads.  Eye protection such as safety glasses or goggles should be worn at all times when working with chemical cleaning agents. Chemical resistant gloves will protect your hands from being irritated by the brake or parts cleaner.  If you use a non-spray parts cleaner that you fill the tub with, you may want to use gloves that extend to your elbow if possible. Most cylinder...

TL;DR in English: Gather the necessary equipment. Ensure the head is completely disassembled. Put on the appropriate safety gear. Determine what kind of material the heads are made out of.

If you wear makeup, it can cause an uneven tan. Your tan may even wash away if you have on enough foundation. Wipe your face clean with makeup removal wipes, or apply a gentle face wash to remove any traces of makeup. For a scrub, pick a light facial scrub, and rub it into your face. Rinse it off afterwards. For a peel, choose one that's gentle on your skin and made from AHA. Apply it to your face, and leave it for the amount of time the package says before rinsing it off.  "AHA" refers to "alpha hydroxy acid," which is what works to remove the dead skin. Typically, you'll find exfoliants with AHA, BHA (beta hydroxy acid), or a combination of both. Opt for the AHA formula, as it is oil-free. Picking an oil-free formula is important, as oils can make it more difficult for your skin to absorb the tanner.  Look for exfoliants that describe themselves as "gentle" or "for sensitive skin." You want something gentle, as anything too harsh could remove too much skin and cause streaks. Dead skin cells can result in an uneven tan. Plus, if they slough off after your tan, it will fade much quicker. A light exfoliation will help prevent this issue. Pick an oil-free facial moisturizer. Rub a small amount into your dry skin areas, such as under your nostrils.  This process will help reduce streaking. If you're using a spray tan, apply moisturizer all over, as these tans can be drying. Let your face dry for at least 20 minutes before sealing your pores for the tan. Self-tanner can clog your pores, so you want to tighten them up if possible. Grab an ice cube, and run it over your face several times, until your skin feels slightly cold.  You can also use a cool, damp washcloth over your face for a few minutes instead.  Pat your face dry when you're done. If you get tanner in these areas, it can really stick out. For instance, if you get it in your hairline, it can create an uneven tan along that edge. Petroleum jelly will keep these areas from the fake tanner, creating nice, even edges.  Apply a thin coating with your finger...
