Find the source of the moisture. Determine the extent of the damage. Remove any damaged drywall. Repair the hole in the drywall. Repaint the newly repaired area.

Follow the directions in the conversion kit for installing these 2 parts using the included hardware. Use the provided bolts to secure the speed controller to the frame of the bike above the chain. Then, attach the throttle to the handlebars so it’s easy to reach. If you have any other accessories, attach them as well. Secure the speed sensor to the back wheel and connect any displays and gauges to the handlebars with the included hardware. Follow the instructions included with the kit to connect each part. Typically, you’ll only need to plug the connector on the speed controller into the connector on the battery, then repeat the process for the throttle. Be sure not to touch the battery wires together, as this could create a dangerous spark! Most e-bike batteries are designed to fit on the frame in place of a water bottle holder. This is the ideal placement since it keeps the center of gravity low. Use the included hardware to attach the battery to the frame as indicated by the instructions that came with the battery. Alternatively, you could place the battery in a box or basket on the front or back of the bike, particularly if it is too large to fit well on the frame (such as if it’s more than 60 volts). Use zip-ties to attach any loose parts to the frame. Keep safety in mind as you don’t want any cables to get caught while you’re riding. That’s it! You can now cruise around on your e-bike. Just press down gently on the throttle when you’re ready to ride. Go for a test drive in a less populated area so you can get used to it before you take it out on the road. The e-bike battery comes with a charger, making the process super simple. Follow the instructions for connecting the battery to the charger and plug it into a compatible outlet whenever you need to.

TL;DR in English: Attach the speed controller and the throttle. Connect the battery to the speed controller and the throttle. Mount the battery onto the bike. Secure any loose cables. Ride your electric bike. Charge the bike when necessary.

Use a unique skill or ability that you already possess and make it appear more impressive. Maybe you have great drumming skills, a stellar singing voice, or the ability to make complicated balloon animals. You can then take your ability to the next level by adding in a surprising or interesting element.  Think of creative ways to impress the judges with your talent and show them how well you can do the talent even in less than ideal circumstances.  You may want to enlist friends to perform with you and create an act where you all drum together on stage. Or you may ask friends who can play instruments to be your backing band for your singing performance. You can then create synchronized movements as a band that you perform together during the act. If you have a more specialized talent, like making balloon animals or juggling, you may want to add in an element of difficulty that will appear impressive to the judges. This could be making a huge balloon animal within a certain time limit or making balloon animals while riding a unicycle or running on a treadmill. When you are creating your act, you should showcase your strengths as a performer. This will help you feel more comfortable when you perform and more confident. You will also be at your best when you are catering to your strengths, as this can help to hide your weaknesses as a performer.  If you are more comfortable in costume when performing in front of others, come up with a unique costume that ties into your act. Maybe you wear an updated clown costume for your juggling act or a long, glamorous gown for your jazz singing performance with a band. Think about how you can use costume as a way to feel comfortable and confident on stage. You may be at ease when you move and dance around the stage, as opposed to staying in one place. Integrate this into your act, where you do a coordinated dance with the other people in your act or do a dance to fit your act if you are on stage alone. Stage props can be as simple as a microphone stand or as complex as...

TL;DR in English: Take a unique skill or ability you already have and improve on it. Cater to your strengths as a performer. Include stage props. Get the audience involved in your act.

Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of milk into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Add ½ cup (100 g) plus 2 tablespoons of sugar, ½ cup (95 g) of room temperature shortening, and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Turn the mixer on to medium-low speed and beat the mixture for a minute or two, so the ingredients are combined. You'll want to use a stand mixer for this dough because it is really sticky to work with. Open 1 envelope (2 1/4 teaspoons of 7 g) of instant yeast and pour it into a small prep bowl. Pour in ¼ cup (60 ml) of warm water and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir the mixture, so the yeast and sugar dissolve. You should notice the yeast bubble a little as it activates. Pour the yeast mixture into the mixing bowl. Measure out 3½ cups (437 g) of flour and add half of it to the mixing bowl. Turn the mixer on to medium speed and beat the dough for 3 to 5 minutes. The dough will be very thick and paste-like once it's combined. Crack 3 egg yolks into the mixing bowl and add the rest of the flour. Turn the mixer on to medium speed and beat the dough for 3 minutes. The dough will be sticky at this point. You can discard or save the egg whites for another recipe.

TL;DR in English: Combine the milk, shortening, sugar, and salt. Activate the yeast. Stir the yeast and half of the flour into the mixing bowl. Stir in the egg yolks and the rest of the flour.

Some medications can increase your risk of bruising after surgery, such as heart medications and blood thinners. For instance, aspirin, clopidogrel, and warfarin can all increase your chance of bruising. As most of these medications are necessary to keep you healthy, it's not recommended that you stop them, although, you may be able to stop aspirin for a week before your surgery under a doctor's orders and supervision.  Other medications that can lead to this problem include dabigatran, enoxaparin, ticlopidine, and dipyridamole.  Have your doctor review your medications to help you determine which ones may lead to more bruising, and when they should be stopped before the surgery and restarted after the operation. Depending on the indication, some of these medications cannot be stopped and will need to be continued throughout the surgical period. Herbal supplements can also lead to an increased risk for bruising. For instance, if you take garlic or ginkgo biloba in pill form, it can increase your chances of bruising. Vitamin E can also have this effect. As these pills are not medically necessary, you may be able to stop them before your surgery; usually, you can take a break from them starting 2 weeks before your surgery. How you are positioned during surgery can affect how much you bruise. Having an open discussion about your concerns before surgery may encourage your doctor to make changes if necessary.  For instance, if you are having surgery on your face, your surgery should be conducted with you in a chair with your head on a headrest. In addition, the angle of the chair should be angled back about 30 degrees from straight upright.  The room should be bright enough to look for blood vessels, and a side light is especially helpful. One way you can help your doctor is by removing all traces of makeup before entering the clinic; it's best not to put any on the morning of your surgery. Makeup can hide your blood vessels. If your doctor nicks a blood vessel, it can lead to more extensive bruising. You can also...

TL;DR in English: Note what medications put you at increased risk. Check your herbal supplements. Ask your doctor about surgery conditions. Make sure to not wear any makeup to your surgery. Skip the alcohol. Try bromelain.

You may find an obvious leak in a pipe or fixture on the floor above the damaged ceiling, but it may also be more difficult to pinpoint.  If you don’t locate the source of the moisture prior to doing the repair, the problem will just keep coming back. Wear gloves, safety glasses and a dust mask while looking for and repairing the leak.  Depending on how long the leak has gone unrepaired, there could be mold present. If there is an extensive amount of mold, hire a professional to remove it safely. If the stain is from a long since repaired leak and the damage is only aesthetic, you may be able to remove the stain with a little elbow grease.  Use a one to one water and bleach mixture to try to blot the stain away.  Be sure to wear safety glasses and gloves when you apply it. If that doesn't work, wait until it dries completely and simply primer and paint the stain to match your ceiling.  As long as the drywall is intact and the leak is repaired, you're done! Depending on the extent of the damage, you may just need to cut out a bit of drywall or you may need to remove entire portions.  If you only need to remove a small portion of the ceiling, use a keyhole saw or similar tool to remove the affected area. If the damage is extensive, you may need to use the claw end of a hammer or a crowbar to remove all of the damaged material. Ensure all stained drywall is removed and that any material remaining is dry and not sagging. Clean the area with household cleaner to ensure mildew and mold does not develop. Now that all of the damaged material is removed, it’s time to replace it with new drywall.   Cut a portion of drywall that is the same approximate size as the area you cut out of the ceiling. If the hole you are patching is small, simply place the newly cut drywall into the hole, then use drywall joint compound to fill the gap and serve as glue to keep it in place.  Use a putty knife to ensure it is flat and even. If the hole is larger, you may need help holding the replacement drywall in place while you use the...

As teens frequently have little experience beyond their high school education, include a section outlining our education on the top of your resume.  Start with your most recent school and work your way back. However, you should not go all the way back to elementary school. Just list your college, if you're enrolled, and your high school education.  If you've accrued any honors during high school or college, it's a good idea to list them. Things like the honors roll, honors college, or Dean's list speak to a strong work ethic. If you have a particularly high GPA, you might want to list that too. Oftentimes, teens have yet to have a real job or their work experience is very limited. However, there are ways to creatively present work experience in a way that displays a strong skill set even if work experience is limited.  List formal or informal volunteer work, babysitting, or any gardening, dog walking, or other chores you may have done for relatives or neighbors for money. Even if these are not highly formal jobs that require a large skill set, the fact you performed them on a somewhat regular basis speaks to a strong work ethic and good time management skills.  Low wage, part time jobs may not seem like much, but mentioning things like waitressing or retail work can look good if you highlight how such jobs helped you with interpersonal communication. Focus on how you talked to and assisted customers and the vast amount of information you had to manage. Make use of resume "buzz words" when you list the jobs you have held. Buzz words are words used on resumes to make work experience appear impressive to help catch an employer's eye.  Online, you can find lists of resume buzzwords that will help up your chances of getting the job you want. Things like classified, analyzed, facilitated, collected, assessed, calculated, trained, and designed are just a small example of the kinds of words that look great on a resume. Using buzzwords can make jobs seem impressive and emphasize the transferable skills you gained from...

Grab a pullup bar with your palms facing outward. Then, lift yourself up until your chin is above the bar. Lift yourself slowly to fully engage the muscles in your shoulder and back. Lower yourself down slowly to complete the pull-up. Use your shoulder and back muscles to lower yourself at the same speed you used to pull yourself up.  If you jerk and twist your back as you pull yourself up, you’ll risk straining a muscle. Start with as many pull-ups as you can manage, and try to add 1-2 more each workout. For example, start with 10. Next time you do pull-ups, aim for 12. Lie on your front, with your elbows bent and your weight resting on your forearms. Then, push your hips up until your back is parallel to the floor. Retract your shoulder blades to engage more of your back muscles. Hold the position for 15 seconds. Try doing 2 sets of 15 reps. Once you’re comfortable doing low planks, try adding high planks into your workout routine. The only difference is that, instead of resting on your elbows, you’ll fully extend your arms and rest on your hands. Lay flat on your stomach and straighten your arms out in front of you, palms down. Then, slowly and simultaneously raise your arms up until your hands are about 6 inches (15 cm) off the ground and raise your legs so your feet are also raised 6 inches (15 cm) off the floor. Squeeze your legs together and keep them straight. Hold the pose for 15-30 seconds, and perform 3 sets of 10 reps.  You can increase or decrease the difficulty of the superman pose as needed. Try raising one arm at a time, then build toward raising one arm and the opposite leg at the same time. Move to raising both arms but not your legs, then both legs but not your arms to prepare you for the complete pose. This exercise works your back extensor muscles, which run down your spine and impact your posture. Lie flat on your stomach for this exercise. Push your shoulders back and raise your arms until they’re about 4 inches (10 cm) off the ground. Hold your arms outstretched so they’re parallel...

TL;DR in English: Do pull-ups to strengthen your shoulders and upper back. Perform low planks to strengthen your lats and build your core. Try the “superman” to strengthen your lower back and core. Strengthen your mid-back and shoulders with reverse snow angels.

Plagiarism is often an honest mistake. Many students genuinely don’t understand what needs to be quoted. When you explain the assignment, take time to give students a lesson about what constitutes plagiarism.  You can say something like, “Anything that is not general knowledge or your own idea needs a citation. Direct quotes and statistics must always have a citation.” If your school has a policy on plagiarism, include it in your syllabus. If necessary, you can write your own. If students understand how to write proper citations, they are more likely to use them. Tell students what citation system you would like them to use and spend some time in class explaining the system. For example, if you want them to use APA, show them how to cite a book and a website. You can also include a link to the citation guide in the guidelines for the paper. Don’t give broad essay prompts such as “Write about Winston Churchill.” Instead, write more complex questions that paper mills won’t likely have in the archives. If you want students to write about Churchill, try something like, “How did Churchill’s personality impact the way he led Britain in World War II? Give specific examples of how his larger than life personality directly affected the outcome of his diplomatic efforts.” If you teach the same class every year, make sure to change up the paper topics each term. This will help cut down on students using papers that previous students wrote. If you do find evidence of plagiarism, make sure to follow protocol. For example, you might be required to notify the principal or guidance counselor. Some schools have a no-tolerance policy, which means that the student automatically fails the assignment or even the class.  If you aren’t sure what the policy is, ask a co-worker or your supervisor to provide you with that information. Meet with the student first if you think it was an innocent mistake. Many students plagiarize without even realizing it. Consider talking to the student first to see if they understand what they did wrong.

TL;DR in English: Discuss and define plagiarism when giving the assignment. Go over the citation guide you want students to use. Write unique assignments so that students can’t easily find a paper online. Follow your school’s academic code of conduct to handle the situation.

If you run a full warm bath, add 1 cup of epsom salts. If you run only a few inches of water in a bathtub, add 2 to 3 tablespoons. Make sure the water is not too hot or it could make your hemorrhoid more painful. Soak in the bath for 10 to 15 minutes a few times a day.  You can also use a sitz bath, a small tub that you place over the toilet so you can soak only your bottom. This might be a good chance for you to relax while someone else takes care of the new baby. Or, use the time to nurse the baby. Apply aloe vera gel or an ointment that has phenylephrine. Phenylephrine acts as a decongestant which can help shrink the hemorrhoid. Aloe vera gel has been shown to prevent infection and help healing in minor wounds. You can also purchase hemorrhoid cream from the drugstore.[Image:Treat Hemorrhoids After Pregnancy Step 3.jpg|center]] Avoid applying steroid creams since these can damage the delicate tissue around a hemorrhoid. Take a cotton pad and soak it in witch hazel. Apply the pad to the hemorrhoid for several minutes. Repeat this as often as you like, especially after painful bowel movements, or at least 4 or 5 times a day. Witch hazel acts as an astringent and can reduce the swelling. Avoid using toilet paper to clean yourself after toileting. Instead, fill a plastic peri-bottle with warm water and squirt the area. Gently pat the area dry with a soft cloth. Avoid using baby wipes, which can further irritate the area. You might have gotten a peri-bottle from the hospital or you can buy them at a drugstore or pharmacy.

TL;DR in English: Take warm baths. Use pain and itch-relieving gels or lotions. Shrink the hemorrhoids with an astringent. Be gentle when cleaning yourself.

If your parent catches you heating up the thermometer or pressing a hot water bottle to your head, admit that you are trying to fake a fever. Though you might be tempted to deny what you’re doing, continuing the act when you’ve already been caught will only get you in more trouble. For instance, you could say, “You’re right, Mom. I was only pretending to be sick.” Your parents are likely going to be pretty upset that you were taking such extreme measures to stay home from school, practice, or other obligations. Be honest about the reason you don’t want to go, rather than creating more lies. Share your feelings without making excuses. For example, you could say, “I have a huge history test today and I didn’t study. I was faking sick so that I wouldn’t fail the test.” Now that you’ve come clean, sincerely apologize for trying to trick them. Make it clear that you know what you did is wrong, and agree to be more honest in the future. Recognize that they might find it hard to trust you now that you’ve been caught in a lie. For example, you could say, "I'm sorry for what I did. I understand that it was wrong, and I promise to never do it again." Your parents might ground you, take away privileges, or otherwise discipline you for lying. Rather than arguing or talking back, accept the consequences for lying and avoid doing it again. Don't worry about getting punished; it's not the end of the world. You can work to earn back their trust by being honest, responsible, and helpful.

TL;DR in English: Admit you’re faking if someone confronts you. Explain why you’re faking sick. Apologize for lying. Accept the consequences.

Once you've cut the player loose, your decision is final. There's no turning back -- you won't hang out with him again, return his calls, or even grab coffee with him because you feel sorry for him. Remind yourself why you played him in the first place. Either he really hurt you or another friend, or you just realized that he's the kind of guy who doesn't respect women. If he doesn't respect women, then why should you respect him?  If you give in and do see him again, he'll quickly lose respect for you. If he's a true player, he'll only want you if you don't really want him all that much. Once you've played a player, you'll be better at recognizing them in the future. Watch out for these cagey guys and protect your heart as you move forward in your love life. Remain humble. Don't let this accomplishment get to your head; although it does add an extreme boost to your confidence (you might start to think that you can get any guy you want or feel that you're "playing" some guys when they only look at you as a friend)the tables can turn quick if you get caught up (with other dudes). They might know the game a little better than you do.

Set goals. Invite people to do things with you. Do not take rejection personally. Get on social media. Treat others how you want to be treated.

In order to evaluate the level of brake fluid in the clutch master cylinder, it is important that your vehicle is level.  Parking on a hill or at an angle can cause the level in the master cylinder reservoir to read incorrectly.  You may want to allow the vehicle to cool for an hour or two to prevent burning yourself when checking the fluid levels. Parking at an angle may make it appear that you have more or less brake fluid than you actually do. Find the hood release on the driver’s left hand side.  It is usually located near the door frame with a small image of a car with its hood open.  Pull the release back toward you to release the hood.  Approach the vehicle from the front and pull the hood up slightly.  It will catch on the safety release.  Slip your hand beneath the hood and find the lever to release it.  In some vehicles, the safety release is located in the grill rather than under the hood. If you are unable to locate the release, check in your vehicle’s owner’s manual for guidance. With the hood propped open, locate the clutch master cylinder. It is usually located on the firewall of the vehicle, just below the windshield.  It will have a plastic reservoir that will be either clear or semi-clear with lines indicating the fluid level inside.  If you are having difficulty locating the clutch master cylinder, refer to your vehicle’s service manual for assistance. The clutch master cylinder is usually on the driver’s side of the vehicle. Inspect the reservoir attached to the clutch master cylinder.  There will be at least two lines indicating a minimum acceptable level of brake fluid and a maximum.  If the brake fluid does not reach the “full” line, you should add fluid.  If it is close or below the minimum line, you should inspect the master cylinder and clutch system for leaks.  If the brake fluid is well below the minimum line, there may be a leak somewhere in the system. Leaks not only allow brake fluid to escape, but allow pockets of air to enter which can cause further issue when operating your clutch.

TL;DR in English: Park your vehicle on level ground. Open the hood. Locate the clutch master cylinder. Check the fluid level.

If you have lingering pain or other methods don’t alleviate your back pain, take an over the counter medication. However, if you experience continued discomfort, consult your doctor.  Take ibuprofen or another type of NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) to help relieve your back pain.  Pain relievers are also good for other symptoms of dysmenorrhea such as headaches. Because birth control pills often contain hormones and control a woman’s menstrual cycle, taking them may help alleviate pain associated with your period. Consult with your doctor about taking the pill, which may help to relieve your back pain.  Skipping the placebo, or pill-free, week, may also help manage back pain.  You need a prescription to get birth control pills, so you’ll need to schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss your options. Some sources suggest quinine for cramping and pain. However, medical professionals agree that quinine is dangerous and can cause a numerous health problems such cardiac arrhythmia, nausea, headaches, and tinnitus.

TL;DR in English: Take a pain reliever. Obtain a birth control pill prescription. Stay away from quinine.

Instead of getting on his case, be diligent with your own needs and expectations. Don’t make any assumptions about your expectations. If you request him to do something, make sure you make it clear what needs to be done and by when it’s needs to be completed. Get in the habit of writing things down that need to be done. Don’t leave any room for ambiguity. The clearer you are, the less he is likely to find the wiggle room. Blaming and shaming your husband isn’t going to get you anywhere you want to be. So, hold off on the accusations and instead, let him know how you are feeling. Tell him what is bothering you, how it affects you (and the relationship), and what you would like to work toward. Instead of saying, “I really hate it when you don’t do the chores I ask you to do, I can’t believe you’re so lazy” say “It really bothers me that I feel I can’t count on you to do chores. It sets things back in the home and makes me feel stressed. Can we find a way to work together and make sure things get done in the house?” It’s likely your husband feels resentful or angry and doesn’t feel like he can voice his concern. It’s much easier to make it someone else’s problem instead of his own. He may intend to make you explode in anger so that more blame falls on you than on him. Recognize this pattern and decide whether you want to engage it or not. When both of you are calm, have a real discussion about your feelings. Talk about what is and is not working for you, for him, and for you both as a married couple. Find ways to express your own resentment or anger and encourage him to do the same. Spend some quality time each week listening to each other, empathizing, and supporting each other. These are skills that may need to be built up, so you may not be an expert yet, but make an effort to do so. Show your husband that he can be emotionally expressive around you and that you will support him. And allow him to take this role for you, too.  Practice active listening by repeating or summarizing what your husband says. “I...

TL;DR in English: State your needs or requests clearly. Don’t blame or shame him. Recognize that he probably feels resentment or anger. Listen to each other. Seek out support.

Put on gloves, protective eyewear, and long sleeves and trousers before handling the blacktop. Check the product label for safety instructions. Blacktop (asphalt) repair products come in a couple different varieties. The asphalt pothole patching material is the best choice for missing chunks of asphalt (potholes), and for depressions deeper than 2 inches (5 cm). You'll want a cold pour product for home repairs, since hot pour products require specialized machines. You can skip this step to save on labor, but the patching material will create a stronger, longer-lasting bond in a hole with vertical edges. An asphalt saw is the easiest way to achieve this, but you can use a hammer and chisel to break the edges of the hole instead. Clean away any dust and broken asphalt created by this process. Pour it directly from the bag until you've added a ½ to 1" (1.25 to 2.5 cm) layer throughout the hole. For larger holes, spread the material around with a rake or shovel. It's not a problem if the material spills over onto the surrounding surface. Push the patching material down with a pothole tamper, vibrating plater, lawn roller, or any other heavy object. For a large area, you can oil a piece of plywood to prevent sticking, then place it oiled side down over the patch. Drive over the plywood to compact the material underneath. Continue applying and compacting layers of patching material until the hole is level with the surrounding driveway. Using layers no thicker than 1" (2.5cm) will help prevent air spaces from forming and weakening the repair. Applying an asphalt sealer over the repair will make it more durable. However, you can only apply the sealer in certain conditions:  Wait at least 4 hours for the patch to cure, or as directed on the label instructions.  Wait until the weather is at least 60ºF (16ºC), the driveway is dry, and you don't expect rain. If the sealer gets wet before it cures, some of the patching material may be washed away.

TL;DR in English: Wear protective clothing. Select a cold pour pothole patching material. Cut the hole to form straight edges. Pour on a layer of patching material. Tamp it down. Repeat until the hole is filled. Seal the area when conditions allow.

Up to half of ganglion cysts go away by themselves. Your doctor may suggest treating the cyst if:  It presses on a nerve causing you pain. It is so large that it reduces the movement of your joint. The doctor may put a brace or splint around the joint near the cyst to prevent you from moving that joint. Because the cysts often get larger when you move your joint, restricting the movement sometimes enables the cysts to shrink.  If you use this approach, ask your doctor how long you can wear the brace or splint before your muscles will start to lose their strength. If the cyst is uncomfortable, your doctor may recommend that you take a painkiller, such as Ibuprofen. During this procedure the doctor will use a needle to suck the fluid out of the cyst. This procedure provides quick relief, but the cyst may reoccur.  The doctor may suggest injecting a steroid into the area to reduce the risk of reoccurrence, but there is no evidence that this successfully reduces reoccurrences. This is an outpatient procedure. You will be released the same day with a Band Aid over the location where the needle went through your skin. This is generally a last resort after the other options were unsuccessful. The surgeon cuts out the cyst and the stalk where it connects to the joint or tendon. Though surgery is the most effective treatment, some cysts do still reform after surgery. There are two equally effective surgical procedures that are used.  Open surgery — During this procedure, the surgeon makes a cut about 2 inches long over the cyst and removes it. Arthroscopic surgery —This is a type of keyhole surgery. The doctor makes a small incision and inserts a camera and other instruments through the incision. Using the camera as a guide, the surgeon removes the cyst. Both procedures can be done using either local or general anesthesia, depending upon the recommendation of your surgeon.

TL;DR in English: Decide whether treatment is necessary. Try immobilization. Drain the cyst with aspiration. Get surgery.

It may sound strange, but setting goals can help you make new friends. This is especially true if you're on the shy side. Setting small goals for yourself, that allow you to gradually break out of your shell, can help boost your popularity.  Set small goals for yourself at first. For example, you can promise to make small talk with a new person before class every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As you begin to feel more comfortable socializing with others, try to set bigger goals. You can promise you'll go to the birthday party you were invited to and try to talk to at least 3 new people. If you're persistent with following up on your goals, you'll eventually feel much more comfortable socializing. This can allow you to meet new people and make a great number of new friends. If you want to make more friends, you have to focus on socializing outside the classroom. Once you get comfortable hanging out at school, try inviting someone out. Ask an acquaintance if he or she wants to go see a movie or get coffee. Try getting a group together to do something fun, like go to the mall. Do not be afraid to ask a popular girl to do something with you, especially if you have already established a firm connection with her in school. If you get along with someone inside the classroom, there's a good chance that person would be open to spending time with you outside the classroom. Fear of rejection is a big reason people refrain from putting themselves out there. However, rejection happens to everyone. Just because someone doesn't want to see a movie with you on a particular Friday does not mean that person is not interested in your friendship.  People do have other obligations. If a popular girl declines your invitation to get coffee, she may genuinely be busy. Don't use this setback as a reason to retreat back into your shell. Remember, there is a lot you do not know about other people. Anyone you talk to has a litany of obligations and issues you do not know about. If someone says "No," that person may be shy or busy.

This can sometimes prompt the oven’s computer to reset and release the lock button. It’s fairly common for the lock function to get stuck if the self-cleaning cycle was interrupted for any reason, like a power outage. If the outlet is hard to reach, you could also turn off the circuit breaker that powers your kitchen. Leave it off for 5 minutes before flipping it back on. This will also cut the power to your oven and hopefully reset the computer. If turning the oven on and off didn’t reset the computer, try asking it to run a self-cleaning cycle and then promptly cancel it. This should hopefully engage the lock function (even though it is already engaged) and then release it after you press the “Clear/Off” button. Make sure to wait long enough after pressing “Self-Clean” for the process to start. You can usually hear your oven’s system start the cycle. If starting and canceling the self-cleaning cycle didn’t work, try letting the oven run a self-cleaning cycle. Set the timer for 1-2 hours and then let it do its thing. Give it several hours after the cleaning cycle to cool down, which should prompt the internal temperature gauge to release the lock function. The internal temperature needs to get back to around 200 °F (93 °C) or lower, and that may take anywhere from 30-90 minutes after the cleaning cycle is finished. Find an appliance repair company in your area who can fix the brand and model of oven you have. Some companies may offer a free estimate, especially if you’re a new customer, so spend some time looking at companies, reviews, and rates to find a provider you’re comfortable with.  Doing a DIY repair or finding a way to force the door open can result in more expensive damage than if you were to just call a repair person to come to take a look at the oven. Even if you manage to get the oven door open on your own, you still don’t know the underlying cause that is making the lock function engage when it shouldn’t be.

TL;DR in English: Unplug the oven for 5 minutes, plug it back in, and press “Clear/Off”. Press the “Self-Clean” button, then “Clear/Off” after 60 seconds. Run a short self-clean cycle and let the oven cool off for several hours. Call a professional so you don’t damage the oven door.

Unfortunately, fraud and identity theft are becoming more-and-more popular. In some cases, con artists will mail-out falsified tickets in order to obtain an individual's private information.  Make sure all of the information provided on the ticket is accurate and complete. Is your name spelled correctly? Address correct? If any of this information is incorrect or missing it may be an indicator of fraud. , the highway patrol or the local police department).  Only the agency that issued the traffic violation can verify whether-or-not your ticket is indeed authentic. Have your citation number ready. The time and day of your arraignment should be listed on your citation.  This is also the last day to pay any fees or penalties if you choose to do so.  The ticket will also have the address and contact information for the courthouse you will be required to appear. In some states, this is the latest date that you can pay or appear in court.  In these states you may appear in court anytime before this date to be arraigned. On this day, you will not be presenting your case or your evidence to the judge, but will instead, be entering a plea of guilty, guilty with explanation, or not-guilty.  Those who enter a guilty with explanation plea, are admitting guilt but asking the court to consider the circumstances and conditions of their violation. This can lead to reduced penalties. When the judge announces your name and case you will be asked to identify yourself, at which time you will be able to enter a plea.  Once you plead not-guilty, a date for your court-hearing will be set. Be sure to be on time. The court clerk will help you with all of the appropriate paperwork, and will be able to provide you with further information regarding your personal defense. This will include a time and date for your hearing, as well as a specific courtroom address and room number. Properly filing a "request for production" is very important.

Making paper origami animals requires folding paper intricately, which works on both wrist strength and hand-eye coordination.  Start off with an easy paper folding activity, such as making a fan, and then work up to something a little bit harder, such as a frog or penguin. Fold cloth napkins to prepare for a fancy dinner party. . Video games are a great way to improve fine motor skills since they involve movement coordination and finger dexterity.  Any video game controllers that utilize joysticks to control the game are good for developing fine motor skills. Shooter games, such as Call of Duty, that require the player to coordinate their position and direction in space while aiming are helpful in developing fine motor skills.  Don't forget about mobile games! Dot Collector and Tremble Drop are 2 games that will help improve your dexterity. This is a good way to practice cutting and pasting, which requires hand-eye coordination. Plus, you can have fun and make memories while improving your fine motor skills. Finger painting increases hand dexterity and encourages hand-eye coordination. Pull out the finger paints and practice drawing fun shapes or pictures onto the paper. Working with small pieces of a puzzle and placing them together will help with both strengthening hand muscles and hand-eye coordination. Start with a puzzle with larger pieces and work up to puzzles with smaller pieces. By playing the piano you can strengthen your fingers and work on increasing their dexterity. You'll improve your fine motor skills while filling your house with the sound of music. Build up a castle or tower with Lego (or similar) blocks to practice fine motor skills. You can begin with larger Lego blocks, such as Duplo, and graduate to smaller ones when you need the challenge.

TL;DR in English: Make origami. Play video games Make a scrapbook. Paint with your fingers. Put together a puzzle. Play the piano. Construct with building blocks.

Since origami can be a bit difficult (and not very exciting) for younger children, the good old method of cutting and gluing construction paper might be more up their alley. This method of making a paper penguin calls for one white, one black, and one orange sheet of construction paper. To form the body of the penguin, have the child draw an oblong oval on the black construction paper with either a white crayon or a piece of chalk so that they can see the outline. One fun and silly way to help the child make the shape is to have him or her place their shoe on the sheet and trace the outline of it. Using a pair of scissors (safety scissors for younger children), have the child cut out the black oval from the construction paper. When it comes to the eyes later, you can have the child either draw them on the white paper or cut pupils out of the black paper. For the latter, you can have the child cut those out now as well. You can now have the child trace the white portion of the belly on the white construction paper. You can find something of the relative oblong shape to let the child trace it again or simply allow them to do it freehand. Once the child is done tracing the white oval, allow them to cut the shape out of the construction paper. Then use a glue stick to glue the tummy portion to the rest of the body. Glue it closer to the bottom of the body portion than the middle since the head should be above it. To make the beak for the penguin, have the child cut a small triangle out of the orange construction paper. The beak doesn't have to be an exact triangle, so you can have the child trace it first or simply cut one out. For very small children, the size of the beak might be too difficult for them to cut out, so you may have to help with this step. You have two different options to glue the beak to the penguin's face. You can either glue the triangle flat with one of the points facing downward, or you can actually make a little fold on one of the flat sides and glue it at the tab, which will make the beak...

TL;DR in English: Get one white, one black, and one orange sheet of construction paper. Trace an oval shape onto the black construction paper. Cut out the black oval. Trace a smaller oval onto the white construction paper. Glue the belly to the rest of the body. Cut a small triangle out of the orange construction paper. Glue the beak to the penguin's face. Make the penguin's eyes. Let the child customize it.

Hold the bow in a vertical position using your non-dominant hand. With your dominant hand, form a loose ring with your thumb and both the middle and ring fingers. Note that your index and pinky fingers should naturally curve down toward your thumb, as well. Do not touch your thumb with those fingers, but keep them relaxed and perched in that curved position. With the bow hair facing you, gently open the ring you created so that you can slide the stick of the bow inside. The stick should rest on your thumb right at the point where the frog (the device where the bow hair is held and can be adjusted) meets the leather bow grip. Bring the index and ring fingers down over the opposite side of the frog. The pads of those fingers should rest directly on the frog.  Your index finger should rest around the stick at a finger's space away from the middle finger, and the pinky should curve and rest on top of the bow stick. You should gently hold the bow without gripping it. Your fingers should be curved in a natural, relaxed form, and your joints should not be stiff. Your palm should also remain soft. While playing, be sure that you keep your hands and joints free from tension. It should be a comfortable and relaxed grip. Your first and second finger joints should all be bent slightly, with no hyperextensions. Otherwise you will not have a lot of control and your strokes will be short.

TL;DR in English: Form a ring with your thumb and fingers. Place the bow into your curved hand. Let the remaining fingers fall into place. Avoid overextending and tensing your joints.

The only way to turn your Mac into a wireless hotspot is to connect it to the network via Ethernet. You cannot create a wireless network if you're using your wireless adapter to connect. If your Mac does not have an Ethernet adapter, you'll need to use a USB Ethernet dongle. You'll find this in the upper-left corner of the screen.  This is at the end of the third section in the System Preferences window. If System Preferences does not open to the main screen, click the "Show All" button at the top of the window. This button has 12 small dots. The "Internet Sharing" option can be found towards the bottom of the list of "Services" on the left side of the window. Don't check the box yet, just highlight the "Internet Sharing" menu option. This will display the different network connections on your Mac. This will set Internet Sharing to share your Ethernet connection with other devices.  "Ethernet" may have a slightly different name depending on your Mac model. "Ethernet" will not appear if you don't have an Ethernet cable connected to your computer. You cannot wirelessly share a wireless connection. This will enable other devices to connect to your hotspot via Wi-Fi. This will allow you to change your hotspot settings. This information will be required when other devices attempt to connect. This will turn on your Mac's new wireless hotspot, allowing other devices to connect to it. Once your wireless hotspot is active, you can connect to it from your other devices. Your new network will appear in the list of available networks on nearby devices, and the password you created will grant access to the internet. The other devices will not be able to access the files on your computer.

TL;DR in English:

After you’ve checked yourself and found a way to keep yourself afloat, see if you can offer assistance to other survivors who may need help. Other survivors could be in serious distress and need immediate help.  Assist others who may be in shock. Talk to them, tell them things will be okay, and let them know you are there to help them. Treat people who have concussions. After you’ve adjusted to your new status, you need to talk to everyone in your group and get them organized. Survivors in your group may have knowledge, expertise, or ideas about how to increase your survival chances and get rescued. Stay together. Your chances of surviving and being rescued are a lot higher if your group is organized and stays together. After you and other survivors have found a way to stay afloat, start organizing and gathering supplies. Ultimately, the more supplies you have and the better you manage them, the longer you’ll be able to survive until you are rescued. Pay special attention to:  Fresh water. Store and ration your fresh water as well as you can. Food. Signal flares and other items you could signal rescuers with.

TL;DR in English: Help others. Organize your group. Look for supplies.

Qualitative research can be expensive and time-consuming. Finding the method that is best suited to your needs is crucial – especially if you have a limited budget.  The least expensive method of qualitative research is to send out feedback surveys with open-ended questions. However, open-ended questions will take some time to read through, and won't necessarily give you actionable information. However, they do provide more personal information. You can also organize focus groups or conduct individual interviews. These methods are significantly more expensive and time-consuming. It can also be difficult to get customers to agree to participate. If you ask customers for their email addresses at the point of sale, you can ask them for open-ended feedback on their purchase and their likelihood to return to your store. If the customer had any problems, either at the store or with their purchase, this gives you an opportunity to address them immediately. Keep these surveys relatively short. Otherwise, your customers may not complete them or even answer them at all. If you have additional questions, you can ask customers if they'd be willing to complete a longer survey at the conclusion of the shorter one. Open-ended questions allow for a qualitative assessment of customer satisfaction by giving your customers the ability to expand their answers. You'll get more personal information about the impact of your customers' experiences with your products or services.  For example, instead of asking customers to rate their level of satisfaction from 1 to 5, as you would in a quantitative study, you might ask "What aspect of your shopping experience was the most satisfying for you?" Instead of asking whether they are likely to recommend your products or services to family or friends, you might ask why they were likely to recommend your products or services, or what they were likely to say to others. If a customer stopped visiting your store, or stopped using your products or services, find out why. You can get valuable...

TL;DR in English: Choose a method of qualitative analysis. Send feedback surveys to verified customers. Ask open-ended questions about customers' experiences. Seek additional feedback from customers who stopped using your product or service. Conduct focus groups or one-on-one interviews for more detailed feedback.

If you are going to be in a situation where your toddler will have to sit still, start preparing early. Let your toddler know what the situation will be and what kind of behavior you expect. Typical situations include:  Restaurant meals. Even more than meals eaten at home, meals eaten at restaurants demand good behavior. Don’t expect miracles – choose family-friendly restaurants – but let your toddler know that he or she needs to sit still and behave. Haircuts. If your toddler wiggles, fidgets, and jumps around, it will be very difficult to manage a good haircut. Explain this to your child in advance, and suggest that he or she sit as still as possible and watch the haircut in the mirror. Medical examinations. Children do need to sit still during medical exams, especially for blood tests and other lab work. Prepare your child in advance. During the exam, try to occupy your child as best you can. Distract by pointing out colorful paintings or drawings, and use your imagination: a drop of blood can be a ladybug or raspberry juice. Church, concerts, and theater performances. Again, prepare your child in advance. Understand, though, that your child may not be able to sit still for something as lengthy as a church service or a concert. Plan to take quick breaks, taking your child outside to burn off some energy. You cannot expect a hungry, thirsty, exhausted, or otherwise uncomfortable toddler to sit still and behave; it will not happen. Don’t attempt any event that requires sitting still without feeding your toddler and making sure his or her other needs are met. When your child needs to sit still, whether it’s during a meal or at a doctor’s appointment, it helps to offer a distraction. Have your child focus on a painting on the wall, his or her image in the mirror, a silly song or story – anything that works. If necessary, bring favorite toys, picture books, and snacks. In rare cases, you may want to break out a cartoon or electronic device. This can work when you really need your child to stay still – as at the...

TL;DR in English: Prepare your child. Make sure your child’s basic needs are met. Distract your child. Dress your child to suit the activity. Be an authority figure. Give your child choices. Praise good behavior.

Don't hesitate to escalate the situation if a customer hasn't paid on time despite your best efforts with the contract. The challenge is to get paid without jeopardizing your future relationship with the customer. Many times a client will ask, "Do you need a check now?" and the business owner says, "No, that's okay, we'll get it at the end."  Don't do this!  If the customer is happy to pay up front - let him! Hold back enough so that they will need to pay you before you deliver the finished job.  It is not unprofessional for you to do so, though many business owners consider this a "low-rent" practice. It's not low-rent - it does not telegraph to your clients that you cannot afford to await payment. Rather it lets them know that you are a professional accustomed to being paid for your work on time. Just say something like, "Hey, Mr. Jones, I have your job all ready to deliver.  Can you have a check ready for me if I swing by around 3 PM?. The balance due is $470.78." This should start the very next day after your payment was due. Obviously, you should try to get paid before this need arises.  However, sometimes, you have a lapse in judgment, or you're lulled into a sense of security by a client you've had no problems with in the past. Once your client realizes your payment policies are lax, s/he will opportunistically attempt to exploit it. Remember - every minute that you are working to get paid is a minute that (A) you are working a second time for money you've already earned and (B) you are not working on a new job, which still needs to be finished on time. Don't give friends, friends of friends or family any special treatment.  If anything, treat them with even less trust than a stranger - they often attempt to take advantage of your relationship. If the client has not paid you by your due date, call him immediately and ask for payment.  If you are put off till the next day, call again the very next morning. Printing a warning on the bottom of your invoices is fine, but if you fail to follow it up, you...

TL;DR in English: Start out being friendly but persistent when collecting payments. Accept upfront payments if the customer offers. Make arrangements for payment before you deliver the final product. Follow up every day until you receive your money. Apply your payment policies to every single customer. Contact the credit agencies.

" Click "OK" to print these pages. This manual duplex printing requires you to know how your paper feeder functions. Many printers require the pages to be faced up to print 2-sided and others need them to be faced down. They may also need to be re-ordered.

There’s no point in sugar-coating your feedback. In fact, your criticism will likely become lost if you sandwich it between praise. Instead, simply come out with what needs improvement.  Additionally, use specifics in your feedback. Say exactly what it is that the person should work on. If not, they won’t know how to become better. Give the positive or negative feedback as soon as you see something that needs to be addressed. Waiting until after the fact is often dangerous because you may not remember exactly what happened, and neither will the person you’re giving feedback to. Pull the person aside as soon as you can and say, “I noticed you completed the task like this. However, I don’t think that’s the best way to do it.” Or, “I really like how you handled the task you were given.” You are more likely to make an impact when you address the situation immediately. Criticism should be given in private, as your goal isn’t to embarrass anyone. Praise, however, can take place in public. Typically, giving positive feedback around others makes the person you’re addressing feel good about themselves and can boost the overall morale.  For example, you can send out a mass email praising the person. You could also create an employee of the month or wall of fame to showcase accomplishments.

Sports journalism is a competitive job market. While an internship can give you an edge, doing freelance work while you are searching for a more stable job can enhance your resume. Find freelance work by contacting websites, magazines, newspapers, and radio stations that have regular sports reports. Come up with several writing pitches, and e-mail your best ideas to the editor of the blog, magazine, or newspaper. Do this regularly. Once you start publishing regularly, you will be able to develop a writing portfolio. Once you have published several well-written pieces, begin compiling your best pieces for your portfolio. You do not need to include all your writing pieces. A few solid articles are better than a lot of mediocre pieces. Your writing pieces should represent you and your writing interests. If you have several pieces that cover different sports, categorize them as such. For example, have a separate category for football, tennis, and soccer.  The number of writing pieces to include varies; some jobs will specifically request a certain size portfolio. As you put yours together, be sure to include at least 8 to 10 strong pieces. Your portfolio should also have a brief biography detailing who you are, why you are passionate about sports writing, and why you are a great fit for the job. Before you go to a job interview, take time to learn about the company. Also, be ready to give examples of some of your outstanding writing pieces, and remember to bring your portfolio. Brainstorm different writing ideas and angles before you go into the interview, and make a list of your top three. Remember to network during your undergraduate studies, internship, and freelancing experience. Create relationships with your supervisor and other writers. These relationships can lead to job opportunities in the future. You can create relationships with your supervisor by being proactive and by creating quality-writing pieces.

Like the previous method, you start by turning the tomato on its side. Your cutting the tomato in half, but through the side rather than down the top. You'll end up with the top of the tomato being one half and the bottom of the tomato being the other half. Once again, you need to pull the tomato apart to reveal the center and the seeds. While you'll see a division among the seeds, you probably won't be able to keep as much of the flesh with this method. However, it's a quick method to remove seeds. Over a strainer and a bowl, squeeze the seeds out of the tomato. Simply hold the tomato with the skin in your hand and the cut side over the bowl. As you squeeze, you'll release much of the seeds in the middle. You may smash the tomatoes up a bit with this method, so if you want a pretty presentation, try another method.

TL;DR in English: Slice the tomato in half. Open the tomato up. Squeeze the tomatoes.

Peppermint products have long been used as a natural remedy for gas.  Look for peppermint caps that are enteric coated, which means they can pass through your stomach and into your intestines before dissolving.  This will give you a dose of peppermint where it is most needed. You can also make tea from peppermint leaves to soothe your digestive tract. These products are safe to use during pregnancy, though it is still a good idea to check in with your doctor to ensure they're a good choice for your medical needs.  Only turn to over-the-counter medications if dietary changes have failed to make a substantial difference in your symptoms. Contact your doctor immediately if your gas symptoms move beyond discomfort into the realm of actual pain, or if you notice severe diarrhea or blood in your stool.

Once your vet has diagnosed the type of worm, they will recommend a treatment option. This may include an oral medication or a some form of topical treatment. Make sure to follow your vet’s recommendations closely and give the proper dosage. Deworming medications typically take the form of either an oral pill or a topical ointment that is applied to the skin. To give a cat a pill, hide it in their food or purchase pill treats that have a space for hiding pills. Topical ointments should be applied directly to the cat’s skin. Make sure to clearly follow all of the instructions provided and continue the medication as directed. Once you have administered the medication, give your cat a treat or some positive attention. This is a nice reward that will make it easy for you to continue giving medications in the future.

TL;DR in English: Follow the instructions provided by your vet. Administer the medicine. Give your cat a treat.

To make yourself a more realistic rifle, you'll need a board about three feet (90 cm) long and six inches (15 cm) wide. You should be able to purchase a board for this purpose from your local hardware store or lumber yard. In addition to the wood that you will form into the main body of your rubber band rifle, you will also need ammunition and supplies to help you cut your wood into the shape of your gun. For this project you should have:  Pencil/felt tip marker Woodworking saw (or a common saw) Jig saw (optional) Duct tape (or thin leather strip) Knife Rubber bands Use a woodworking saw for greater precision, or a common saw if that is unavailable, and cut along the outside of the outline you drew on your board. Do this until the outline is completely cut free.

Most email providers have some sort of spam filter or spam section of the inbox. Any scams or phishing schemes that do not automatically get forwarded to this section can be filed there manually by clicking on the "Spam" or "Report as Spam" button at the top of the email or inbox. When you take this action, oftentimes, the email provider is automatically alerted. If the provider is not contacted, you can go to the provider's help section and find out which customer support email address to forward to scam email. If you receive one of the infamous "Nigerian prince" emails that offer you a large sum of money in exchange for assistance in a financial transaction, forward or fax a copy of the email to the U.S. Secret Service at 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov or 202-406-5031, respectively. The Secret Service keeps all such messages for future investigations. If you receive an email from a company that asks for personal information, such as your Social Security Number, there is a good chance that the email you received is fake and that the company sending it is not the company it claims to be. In cases like these, you should email or call the customer support section of the company being impersonated to inform them of the fact that someone is attempting to phish information from their customers. Online auction websites and other websites through which users buy and sell their own belongings usually have special sections of their websites dedicated to reporting scams. If you see a posting that is clearly a scam, flag it as such and contact the scam section of the website's customer support department. If a company calls with a suspicious offer, such as a free cruise, credit card, or loan offer, alert the FTC by going to their website and filing a complaint via the tools and links on the FTC's website. The FTC can and should also be contacted about email and Internet scams you find, especially if they are scams meant to obtain personal financial information from you.

Brush your hair thoroughly in the morning to get rid of any tangles. Assess what activities you will be doing that day, and plan your hairstyle accordingly. Don’t overdo the products.

Before starting yoga, it can help to figure out why you want to practice. Yoga can be a method of physical exercise, a way to reduce and manage stress, a means of healing an illness or injury, or a path to spiritual fulfillment and peace.  Think about which components of wellness you want to work on, such as strength, flexibility, stamina, anxiety, and depression. You might also want to practice for your general well-being. Consider writing down your focus for your practice.  Update it frequently and revise it as you become more familiar with yoga and grow as a student. For example, you could have a goal such as “I want to practice for at least 5 minutes every day” or “I want to build enough strength to do an arm balance posture like Lolasana.” There are different styles and ways to practice yoga and there will always be more experienced yoga practitioners than you. It’s important to remember that yoga is neither a competition nor a traditional sport, but a personal practice of mindfulness, relaxation, and physicality that is meant to enrich your life and body. There is no right or wrong way to do yoga. Your practice should be about your journey first and foremost.  Anyone can practice and benefit from yoga. Integrating yoga into your routine can help improve your physical and mental health, even if you only practice for 10 minutes a day.  It can take some time to find a specific style or school of yoga you enjoy. Similarly, finding the right teacher for you and your goals can take some trial and error. Practice keeping an open mind and adopt a non-judgmental attitude. Instead of thinking, "I'm not flexible, I'll be bad at yoga," realize that "Yoga is about the flexibility of the mind, not the flexibility of the body."   Remember that there is no competition in yoga. Every person has different abilities and the goal of yoga is to focus on yourself, not what others are doing. All you truly need to practice yoga is the ability to breathe. Certain pieces of equipment may help you feel more comfortable, though,...

TL;DR in English: Determine a focus for your yoga practice. Be aware that there is no such thing as "good" or “right” yoga. Gather any equipment you may want to practice. Wear breathable clothing in which you can move. Find a comfortable place to practice. Warm up with sun salutation. Learn a few yoga asanas. Focus on your breathing. Devote time to yoga as often as you can.

Most phone companies charge extra for international calls, including those to the Netherlands. Find out if your company makes calls to the Netherlands before trying to dial, and don't let yourself be surprised when those rates appear on your bill. Check with your phone company to see if you will be able to make these calls. Some companies require you to sign up for international minutes in addition to your regular charges. Other systems make international calls part of your service, though with an extra cost per minute. Make sure you know what time it is in the Netherlands before calling someone there. It is a substantial difference, so you want to make sure the person will be awake and available. No one likes being called late at night or early in the morning.  The Netherlands is in the Central European Time Zone, one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT +1:00). The United States' Eastern Time Zone is GMT -5:00, so it is 6 hours behind the Netherlands. Therefore, at 12:00 noon in New York City, it is 6:00 pm in Amsterdam. As you move west in the United States, add hours. 6:00 pm in Amsterdam would be 11:00 am in the Central Time Zone (GMT -6:00), 10:00 am in the Mountain Time Zone (GMT -7:00), 9:00 am in the Pacific Time Zone (GMT -8:00), 8:00 am in Alaska (GMT -9:00), and 7:00 am in Hawaii (GMT -10:00. The first three numbers are the US exit code, and the last two are the specific country code for the Netherlands. This will let your phone know that you are making an international call, and what location you are trying to reach. For any international call out of the United States, begin by dialing 011. The country code is more specific, and will depend on where you are trying to call. All phone numbers begin with an area code, which will be the first 2 to 3 numbers. One notable exception is for a cell phone, which will have the area code 6.

TL;DR in English: Figure out how you will be billed. Check the time difference. Dial 011 31. Dial the Dutch phone number.

Just as you would for a straightforward base oil application, comb through dry hair to work out any tangles. You hair can be just-washed or on its second or third day out from your last shampooing. Spread old towels or paper towels around to protect against oil splatter. Essential oils are too strong to apply in large amounts directly to the scalp. Even with this diluted delivery system, you may feel a strange tingling sensation in your scalp. Don’t worry — it’s perfectly normal. It just means the essential oil is doing its work!  Pour a teaspoon of your chosen carrier oil into the palm of your hand. Add 2-3 drops of your chosen essential oil. Rub your hands together to mix the oils and spread them over your palms and fingertips. If you want to make a larger batch, mix 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of essential oil into .25 cups (59 mL) of carrier oil. The essential oils won’t be useful on the shaft and ends of your hair. You should target your scalp, follicles, and hair roots with them.  Using your fingertips, massage the oils into your scalp. Remember to treat the entire scalp, not just the top of your head. Using a wide-tooth comb, comb through your hair to both detangle it. This will also spread the oil through any hairs that didn’t get treated by your fingers. Split your hand down the middle so you can work with your hair in two sections, rather than tackling it all at once. Pour a teaspoon of your base/carrier oil into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together again to spread it out over your palms and fingertips.  If you are using castor oil, mix ½ teaspoon of castor oil with ½ teaspoon of a thinner, lighter oil (like grapeseed oil). Castor oil is thick and gloopy on its own. Run your fingers and palms through your hair to transfer the oil. Begin where the essential and carrier oil treatment ends, closer to your scalp. Run your hands down to the ends of your hair. Work your way all the way through one section of hair, remembering to pay attention to the hair on the back of your head. Give the second...

TL;DR in English: Prepare your hair and work area. Mix your carrier and essential oil. Rub the mixture into your roots and scalp. Comb through your hair again and section it into two parts. Apply the base/carrier oil to the length of your hair.

You can draw a basic storyboard template by hand, simply dividing a posterboard into empty frames of the same size using a pencil and a straightedge. The setup should look similar to that of a comic book, with rows of square cells that show how the scene will look on a screen. If you prefer, you can use Adobe Illustrator, storyboardthat.com, Microsoft PowerPoint, Amazon's Storyteller, or inDesign to create a storyboard template in vertical or horizontal format.  The cell sizes should be drawn in the same aspect ratio as the finished video, such as 4:3 for a TV screen or 16:9 for a feature film screen. You can purchase special thumbnail sheets with these dimensions.  A storyboard template for advertising should be comprised of rectangular frames into which you insert the visuals. If you want to include captions, make sure there’s space where you can write in video descriptions. There should also be a column for the audio, which is where you include the dialogue and sounds or music. If you find yourself storyboarding for more than one project, it helps to have a good Wacom™ tablet, so you can board directly into Photoshop. If you don’t want to design the images, you can hire a storyboard artist to provide the drawings. You will describe what goes on each frame and give the artist a written script to work from. He or she will provide you with either black and white or color illustrated frames that you can scan into the board in sequential order. Start bringing the scenes to life by drawing the sketches you mapped out into the template you designed. This is just your rough draft, so don’t try to make it perfect. As you sketch each scene, tinker with the following elements, erasing and redrawing as often as necessary:  Composition (lighting, foreground/background, color palette, etc.) Angle from which the camera is shooting (high or low) The type of shot (wide shots, close-ups, over-the-shoulder shots, tracking shots, etc.)  Props (objects in the frame) Actors (people, animals, cartoon talking couch, etc.: ...

TL;DR in English: Decide what medium to use for your template. Sketch your thumbnails. Add other important information. Finalize the storyboard.

" General formulas allow you to simply plug in your numbers instead of calculating FOIL every time. Binomials that are raised to the second power, like (x+2)2, or the third power, like (4y+12)3, can be fit into a preexisting formula easily, making solving fast and easy. To find the general formula, we replace all of the numbers with variables. Then, at the end, we can plug our numbers back in to get our answer. Start with the equation (a + b)2, where:   a stands for the variable term (ie. 4y - 1, 2x2 + 3, etc.) If there is no number, then a = 1, since 1 * x = x.  b stands for the constant being added or subtracted (ie. x + 10, t - 12). (a + b)2 may look more complicated than our earlier example, but remember that squaring a number is just multiplying it by itself. Thus, we can rewrite the equation to look more familiar: (a + b)2 = (a + b)(a + b) If we use foil on this equation we'll get a general formula that looks like the solution to any binomial multiplication. Remember that in multiplication, the order you multiple does not matter.  Rewrite as (a+b)(a+b).  First: a * a = a2   Inner: b * a = ba  Outer: a * b = ab  Last: b * b = b2.  Add the new terms: a2 + ba + ab + b2   Combine like terms: a2 + 2ab + b2   Advanced Note: Exponents and radicals are considered to be hyper-3 operations, while multiplication and division are hyper-2. This means that properties of multiplication and division do not work for exponents. (a+b)2 does not equal to a2 + b2. This is a very common mistake among people. Let's take equation (x+2)2. Instead of doing FOIL all over again, we can plug in the first term for "a" and the second term for "b",  General Equation: a2 + 2ab + b2  a = x, b = 2 x2 + (2 * x * 2) + 22   Final Answer: x2 + 4x + 4. You can always check your work by performing FOIL on the original equation, (x+2)(x+2). You will get the same answer every time if done correctly. If a term is subtracted, you still have to keep it negative in the general equation. Given the binomial (2x+3)2, you must remember that a = 2x, not...

TL;DR in English: Know how to set up "general formulas. Know that squared binomials can be rewritten. Use FOIL to solve the new equation. Use the general equation a2 + 2ab + b2 to solve your problems. Remember to insert the entire term into the general equation.

No matter how you plan on styling your hair, it needs to start out brushed! This not only immediately makes your hair look better, but also makes it easier to style. It is important to plan ahead so your hairstyle is appropriate for all the day’s activities. This helps you look more put together and avoid any awkward mishaps that could be caused by you needing to redo your hair in the middle of the day.  If you have long hair and you have to run in PE that day, plan to wear your hair up. If you have an event that day where you need to look particularly nice, plan to style your hair appropriately. Regardless of what products you are using, keep in mind that they are meant to supplement the natural beauty of your hair. Use the products you need to make your hair stay in place, but not so much that your hair appears greasy or too stiff.

TL;DR in English:


Get clear nail polish. Choose your tool to create the droplets.

Make sure you have max repels for on the way to the area. The underwater cave is a cave located beside Pacifidlog Town in the Route 134 ocean current. Take note that you will have to stick towards the very bottom of the screen. It is in a small space of calm water with a dark spot in the middle.  Surf to the dark spot in the middle. When asked if you would like to dive, select Yes. Travel south in the underwater cave.  The inscription is on a large pillar at the end of the underwater cave. This takes you to the Sealed Chamber. It's on the north wall when you enter the Sealed Chamber. This is the order needed to activate the next inscription. Go through the tunnel you just dug and into the next area of the chamber.  The go North and read the inscription on the large rocks on the north wall.  This causes an earthquake.  Then a box tells you it sounds like doors opening far away.  You can now capture the three Regis. If this doesn't work go and switch Relicanth to first and Wailord to last and there should be an earthquake.

TL;DR in English: Locate the underwater cave. Dive into the calm water. Go where the inscription is and press B. Answer Yes. Use Dig on the inscription at the end of the cave. Put Relicanth last in your party and Wailord first. Go through the wall and read the next inscription.

You can massage the muscles of your feet and toes to help relieve toe cramps. As you massage your feet and toes, pay special attention to the arches of your feet and the muscles between your toes that run along the top of your foot.  If you feel a knot in one of the muscles in your feet or toes, use your thumb to apply pressure to the knot for three to five seconds and then release. Repeat the massage two to three times or until the cramp goes away. You can use a massage roller to roll over with your foot. This can be in the form of simple wooden rollers to using a water bottle. You can place the water bottle in the freezer and roll over it, providing ice relief at the same time. Performing a simple toe stretch followed by some toe wiggling may also help to get rid of your toe cramps. Stretching and wiggling your toes can help to relax the muscles that are causing your toes to cramp.  To do a toe stretch, sit on the floor or on your bed with your legs out in front of you. Then, flex your toes forward and hold for a few seconds. Then, pull them back and hold for a few more seconds. Next, spread your toes out as far as they will stretch. Try to spread out your toes enough so that they are not touching each other. Then, repeat the process of bending your toes forward and back.  Spread your toes again and then start to wiggle your toes.  Keep wiggling your toes until the cramp goes away. Sometimes stretching the calf muscles can also ease off the tightness in the foot and toes. Simply stand facing a wall, positioning one foot in front of the other — the affected foot should be the back foot. Lean forward in a lunge, feeling a stretch in the calf of the back leg. Hold this position for 30 seconds. Repeat four to five times. If you find it hard or ineffective to stretch and wiggle your toes, then you may need a more powerful stretch. You can use your hands to help you stretch your toes and get rid of toe cramps.  To stretch your toes with your hands, sit down with the cramping foot crossed over your other knee. ...

TL;DR in English: Massage your feet and toes. Stretch and wiggle your toes. Hold a toe and foot stretch until the cramp is gone. Soak your toes in a warm bath. Go for a walk.

Lists are a great way to get rid of feelings of chaos and overwhelm. They also help manage stress by giving you a visual of how much you really need to do. When you use your to-do list as a starting off point, you can begin to see how much room you have to re-negotiate your daily activities. Once you see your to-do list, rearrange the items so that things that are important to you and your happiness come before things that you normally consider urgent. For example, you might have a bill due in four days. But, you also have on your list taking a walk through your neighborhood. It seems obvious that spending your time paying the bill will relieve your stress—it’s an obligation that you could be getting out of the way! But since today is not the due date, you can choose to deal with the bill when you must, since your need for movement and refreshment is more important to your happiness today. Having a clean, open space at home, work, etc., has a powerful impact on how capable we feel of accomplishing tasks. Clean your house from top to bottom, without hesitation to throw away broken things and donate what you no longer use. Recycle old papers and receipts that are filling up drawers, and do the same with your virtual space. Delete old emails, notes, and contacts that clutter your folders. Doing this will help you feel refreshed and open to the possibility of new and different things coming into your space instead. Studies have shown that after only a few days of shortened sleep, many experience worse mood and decreased ability to regulate negative emotions.. This means that you will feel less inspired to accomplish the things that the best version of yourself has deemed a priority. If getting 7-8 hours of sleep is not an option for you, do allow yourself to take catch-up naps after nights of less satisfying sleep. Learning to improve your sleeping habits is invaluable. Sorting out your life may mean revamping what you eat and how your eating habits factor into your days. Unless you prioritize and enjoy refining...

TL;DR in English: Start each day with a to-do list. Clean like it's spring. Regulate your sleep schedule. Find a diet that fits you. Exercise to clean out nervous energy. Monitor your vices.

You will need to create the water droplets with clear nail polish. Any type of clear coat nail polish will do. The ideal polish to use, however, is a clear, quick-dry topcoat because it hardens quickly and is glossy. It is possible to use a color for the water droplets, but they won’t appear as water. Instead, they would look like 3D polka dots. You don’t have to use a special tool to create the water droplets. Nail salons use dotting tools, which can be bought online or at a beauty supply store. You can also  make  a dotting tool out of everyday items, like a pin, toothpick, or bobby pin. The easiest method is to use the applicator brush that comes with your clear nail polish.

TL;DR in English:


Define moderation for you. Stick to appropriate portion sizes. Add in sweets that have nutritional benefits. Avoid "diet" sweet treats. Make nutritious versions of your favorite sweets at home. Track your weight gain weekly.

Expect the metal to oxidize and create mineral deposits over time, especially if it didn't dry thoroughly. Inspect the insides of the boiler and server for discoloration every now and then. Correct these by mixing one part white vinegar with eight parts water and using this to scrub out the inside, and/or let it sit overnight in the boiler. It's also important to do this in order to keep the boiler's overpressure valve clear of any deposits that may be blocking it. Dish soap dulls the pot's shine, but it's necessary to use occasionally in order to prevent coffee oils from growing rancid. If you miss that shine, don't worry. Whether your pot is aluminum or stainless steel, polish the outside as needed to restore its luster. Expect rubber gaskets to deteriorate over time. This means that an old gasket will form a less secure seal for the filter at the bottom of the server, which in turn means coffee grounds may end up where they're not supposed to be. Replace old gaskets as needed to ensure a clean cup of coffee.

TL;DR in English: Clean mineral deposits as needed. Restore the pot's shine. Replace gaskets.

Every school has different rules and guidelines for the use of marketing materials in your campaign. Make sure you are aware of these rules and follow them closely. You don’t want to be disqualified from your campaign.  Don't hang flyers or posters for your campaign in areas of the school where they are not supposed to be. Don't pass out trinkets or gifts to potential voters if this is not allowed in your school. You're not going to win if people don't know you're running. Put up eye-catching posters with memorable slogans to attract the attention of your classmates. Make sure to use bright colors and place these posters in highly trafficked areas of the school, as this will help make sure your signs get seen.  If there is a particular hallway or room where students congregate often, place your campaign signs in that area. Use neon green, yellow, orange or pink poster boards to make your signs. These colors have been proven effective in catching people's attention. Make fliers, buttons, and pamphlets to pass among your peers. As helpful as signs will be to your campaign, giving the voters something physical that they can hold on to will serve as a reminder that you are running throughout the duration of the campaign. In your fliers or pamphlets, make sure you espouse some positions and give the voters some information about yourself.  Try handing out candy. Everyone loves candy and they really like the people who give it to them for free! If your school doesn't allow you to hand out candy, then try handing out bracelets, pencils, and stickers. You may find that people are sticking your stickers on the wall and that is just extra exposure. If you school will allow you to, write your campaign slogan or “vote for …” on the sidewalks around your school or in the parking lot in chalk. These sidewalks are highly visible areas to promote your campaign. Again, use bright eye-catching colors and memorable slogans.  Again, neon colors are ideal for catching the attention of your classmates. Make sure to check with your...

TL;DR in English: Follow the rules. Make campaign signs. Utilize handouts. Chalk the sidewalks.

If you're feeling certain that someone is avoiding you, consider tactfully bringing up the issue. Perhaps you want to right any wrongs that you've committed; perhaps you suspect that your friend is avoiding you because she's going through a hard time. Be respectful and direct, and explain exactly what's bothering you.  If you aren't sure why someone is avoiding you, say, "I've been meaning to bring this up – I feel like you've been avoiding me lately. Did I do something to upset you?" If you know why someone is avoiding you, don't beat around the bush. Apologize for anything that you've done, and try to reconcile the situation. Say, for example, "I've feel like things have been awkward between us ever since we had that fight last week. I value our friendship a lot, and I want to talk about this so that we can move past it. This argument isn't worth ruining our friendship." You can confront the person by getting them one-on-one, or you can ask a guidance counselor to moderate the conversation. Consider your comfort level, and choose the situation that you think will best resolve the problem. If you have mutual friends with the person who is avoiding you, ask someone trustworthy to weigh in on the situation. Say, "Do you have any idea why X would be upset with me? I feel like she's been avoiding me lately." Do not spread rumors or gossip about the avoidant person. If you value your relationship with this person, be very careful about what you say. If you say negative things behind the person's back, there's a decent chance that your words will find your way to his/her ears – which will only further inflame the situation. Sometimes, people need to go through their own personal journey before they are ready to reconnect with others. In many cases, forcing this connection will only push the avoidant person further away. Be patient, be open, and move on with your life. If the person decides that he or she wants to be in your life, you will know.  Make your intention clear. Say, "It seems like you need your own...

TL;DR in English: Confront the person. Ask mutual friends for insight, but don't talk behind the person's back. Give the person space. Let go.

While popular people are not always liked by everyone, they are known by everyone. In order to increase your popularity, you need to broaden your social circle. Go out of your way to meet and hang out with new people.  Smile and say “Hi” to everyone you meet. Eat lunch with someone new. As you strive to become popular, don’t tear others down in the process.Remember, a kind, compassionate person wins over more friends than a nasty, unconfident person. Never judge people, but always jump to their defense. Don’t bully others, but befriend them. Be kind to people outside your group. Being a clique that despises outsiders will not earn you many friends beyond the group. Instead, work to earn the respect and friendship of outsiders. Helping others accomplish their goals and reveling in their success, is an excellent way to develop a positive reputation. Set aside your desire for attention or your need to be the best. Instead, encourage and assist those around you as they strive to succeed. Your compassion will surprise and delight others.  Offer to help someone with their homework or a project. Stay after practice to workout with a teammate. Congratulate others on their accomplishments. Bullies, haters, negative and unkind people will always be present in your life whether you are popular or an outcast. You may know these individuals or they may be complete strangers to you. In order to lead a healthy life and live as the most authentic you—even if you never become popular—it is important that you address and cope with people that dislike you.  Remove toxic people from your environment. Stop spending time with that negative friend that always belittles you. Stand up for yourself. Let this person know that you do not appreciate and will no longer tolerate their negative treatment of you. Don’t take it personally. Bullying is not a reflection on you, but a self-reflection on the bully. You are not the problem; they are the problem.

TL;DR in English: Expand your social circle. Avoid judging and bullying others. Support and help others. Address and cope with people that dislike you.

The bike should gradually slow down to a complete stop. Having to stop abruptly may cause you to wipe out. Look in front of you and try to anticipate any stops that you have to make. As you approach the stop, apply pressure to the brakes a couple of yards before the stop. Braking gradually before your stop is even more important if you don't have a handbrake because it will take longer to slow down. If you want to slow down, stop putting forward momentum on the bike. Relax the muscles in your legs until you start to lose momentum. Your pedals will still rotate, but you won't be pushing the bike forward by pedaling. A handle brake is the easiest way to stop a fixed gear bike. If you don't have a front brake installed, you can go to a bike shop and they will install it for a fee. Squeeze the handle brake gradually and bring your bike to a controlled stop. Do not clamp down on your brake or you may go over the handlebars. Always look for a bike that has a hand brake in case your chain breaks. Practice slowing to a stop until you get used to braking with your pedals. Estimate how long it typically takes for the bike to come to a full stop after you apply pressure on the brakes. Check your local bike laws to see if they have any requirements for the number or type of brakes you need on a fixed gear bike.

TL;DR in English: Start braking well before you have to stop. Stop pedaling to slow down. Use your front wheel handle brake. Put backward pressure on the pedals to stop.

If you want to incorporate some sweets into your diet while you're pregnant, it's important to make sure you're only eating them in moderation.  If you eat them too often you may gain unnecessary weight.  Determine what "moderation" means to you.  Is it one sweet a week?  Is it two sweets a week? It's a good idea to give yourself a definitive and specific rule to follow so that you don't end up eating too many sweets.  The more specific you are the more likely you are to follow your definition of moderation and not go overboard. Make sure your definition of moderation fits in with your overall guidance and dietary advice provided by your OB/GYN.  You want to be able to enjoy sweets, but not have them effect your health, your baby's health or your weight. When you're incorporating more foods that may be higher in calories or sugar, it's important to stick to appropriate portion sizes.  This is what will help keep the overall calories in check.  Always read the food label on sweets that come in a package, box or tub.  This will give you the serving size, calories, fat, sugar and other nutrient information.  Use this information to make sure the treat you plan on eating fits into your overall meal plan. If you're purchasing a "single-serving" treat, ensure the nutrition panel reads "one serving".  Sometimes a small bag may seem like one serving, but may be 2 servings instead. If you're unsure of the serving size (for example, if someone brings in cupcakes to work), aim to eat about 1/2 cup or about 4 oz.  This is about 1/2 of the size of your fist. Another trick is to split desserts and treats with your friends, family or husband.  This is an easy way to enjoy desserts that are portion controlled. When you're pregnant, you need to be vigilant with your overall nutrition to make sure you're consuming adequate amounts of every nutrient to support your pregnancy.  Use your sweet treats to your advantage and choose a treat that also has nutritional benefits.  Dark chocolate.  This tasty sweet is full of wonderful...
