The heavier and larger the skillet, the better. Sauté the onion until it begins to soften, which should take about five minutes. Add 2 cups of diced cooked turkey and 1 4 oz. can of diced green chiles. Sauté those ingredients for another three minutes. Add the medium-hot salsa with chipotles and garlic and stir the ingredients together until it's heated through, for another 3 minutes. Season the salsa with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle the chips with the rest of the 1/4 cup of red onion and the 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro. Drizzle the turkey chilaquiles with sour cream and serve them while they're hot.

TL;DR in English: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Heat 2 tbsp. of vegetable oil in an ovenproof skillet. Add 1 1/4 cups of red onion to the skillet. Add the turkey and the chiles. Stir in the salsa. Stir in the tortilla chips. Garnish.

Fanfiction is always based on an existing work of art. You are essentially making a story that expands or otherwise alters existing fiction. The mediums you might choose from are endless. Fanfics have been written about books, movies, television shows, video games, and just about anything else with a narrative base and a fandom to admire it. You should pick a fictional universe you already feel closely to. Common choices for fanfic are Star Wars, Harry Potter, and a number of anime and manga franchises. The choice of universe you choose to base your own work on will have the largest impact on your story and the way it turns out. Certain universes also favour certain approaches in fanfic. It's important to note however that your choices as a fanfic writer are limitless. You can do anything you want to the source material, even if that means transforming it into something else entirely. Most fanfiction tends to be based on a science-fiction or fantasy-themed universe, like Harry Potter or Star Trek. These are great to base fanfics off of because they offer huge universes with an endless amount of storytelling potential. Look online and read up everything you can about the given universe. Even if you're planning on breaking free of the established canon (what the author/director/etc has already established) with your fanfic, it helps a lot to know the rules before you break them. The best ideas you'll get for your work will be inspired by the source material itself. With that said, it still helps to see what other fans have done with the same ideas. Using a website like Fanfiction.net, Archive of Our Own, and Wattpad, or you can take a look through some fanfiction that matches your on source material. Read some stories people have written. Most importantly, get a grasp of the ways in which people use and adapt the source. In looking for fanfiction to read, you may get the looming impression that a lot of fanfiction lacks for quality. Being part of the fanfic community means acknowledging that not everyone is at...

TL;DR in English: Choose source material to work from. Read up on the fictional universe. Read some fanfiction.

It can be a little scary to express who you are most of the time. Don’t be afraid to dress how you like or talk how you normally do at home. Speak up when you have an opinion on something. Being comfortable with who you are will show others that you are honest and confident. There’s a difference between having a strong opinion on something and arguing with others. Always try to be nice, even if you disagree with someone. People should like you for who you are. If someone doesn't want to hang out with you, then move on. They may not be the right friend for you. Besides, pretending to be something you aren’t will get exhausting! If people try to pressure you into doing something that you don’t want to do, be firm when you say no. People should respect your boundaries. You’re at summer camp to meet new people and try new things, but above all else, you’re there to have fun! Having fun will not only reduce any stress you have about becoming popular, but will improve your chances of becoming popular in the first place. If you look like you’re enjoying yourself, others will want to have fun with you!  Try to relax! It’s hard to enjoy yourself if you’re paying attention to every little thing that you do.  Choose to spend your time how you want to spend it. If you waste your time doing things you don’t want to do, you’ll end up crabby and miserable. People enjoy being around people that are happy!

TL;DR in English: Express who you are and be as honest as possible. Don’t change who you are to fit in with a crowd. Have fun by relaxing and not worrying about becoming popular.

Having good credit is an important part of qualifying for credit cards. That’s not all, though. You may need good credit to get utilities connected to your home, to rent an apartment, to pass an employer credit check, or to secure car and home loans.  Start early. Length of credit is a big factor in getting future credit and qualifying for cards. Lenders want to see that you have a track record in paying off your debts. Student or secured credit cards are good ways to establish and build your credit, as are retail and gas station credit cards. With good management, you can upgrade to a major credit card with lower interest rates and larger spending limits. Payment history counts for about 35% of your credit score. Make sure that you at least pay off your monthly minimums on the card’s balance, or you may hurt your standing.  Don’t miss outstanding payments, obviously. Card companies will charge you late penalties and, possibly, raise your interest rate if you pay late. Also, payments 30 or more days late can end up on your credit report. The best thing to do is to pay off balances early and in full, before the monthly deadline. How much you pay or how often you pay per month does not figure into your credit score. The thing that really matters is your balance on each card, or what is called the “debt-utilization ratio.”  Utilization counts for about 30% of your credit score.   Having a large debt-utilization ratio (i.e. big balances on your card) sends a bad message to lenders. It suggests that you spend more than you can pay. Try to keep your ratio low. Most experts say that your debt-utilization ratio shouldn’t be more than 30% at the most. This means a $3000 balance on a $10000 credit line. A ratio of zero will greatly improve your credit score. Another factor in your credit score is the number of accounts you hold, not only credit lines but mortgages, student loans, car loans, and others. The ideal number of cards to keep is not so clear, however.  Some experts recommend that you limit yourself to two...

TL;DR in English: Start early and build up a solid credit history. Pay off your balance or meet the monthly minimum. Keep your debt-utilization rate low. Limit your cards. Use the card wisely.

In order to make dopamine, your body needs tyrosine, which is an amino acid. When it enters your body, the amino acid travels to your brain. Once there, the neurons responsible for releasing dopamine transform it into dopamine with the help of other enzymes.  The foods highest in tyrosine include cheese, fish, meat, seeds, grains, dairy, beans, and soy.  As long as you're getting enough protein in your diet, you should be getting enough tyrosine. To determine how much protein you need, multiple your weight in pounds by 0.36 grams. For instance, if you weigh 150 pounds (68 kg), you need 54 grams of protein. As an example, 0.5 cups (120 mL) of cottage cheese has 14 grams of protein, while a serving of chicken the size of your palm has about 19 grams of protein. Tyrosine can be produced in part from phenylalanine, so eating foods rich in this amino acid can ensure you're getting enough tyrosine. In turn, that may increase dopamine. Meats, cheeses, and wheat germ are rich in this food. Artificial sweeteners also contain this amino acid. You should consume at least 5 grams of phenylalanine a day, but you can eat up to 8 grams per day. As an example, 3 ounces (85 g) of many cheeses have about 1 gram of phenylalanine in them. Caffeine is one of the main ways to increase the body's use of dopamine. While it doesn't increase your production of dopamine, it likely works by making more receptors available to use the dopamine your body produces.  Try taking or drinking up to 300 milligrams per day. An average cup of coffee has about 100 milligrams. Keep in mind that caffeine can cause depression and fatigue once it's out of your system, which usually occurs about 6 hours after you consume it. Try not to rely too much on a caffeine boost.  Also remember that caffeine can prevent you from falling asleep, so avoid drinking it 6 hours before bed.

TL;DR in English:


Examine your feelings. Figure out why. Trust yourself.

Pitch requires at least three people, though you can play with more. Typically, a traditional game is played with partners. So, four players are ideal for this game. The dealer shuffles and then deals out six cards to each player. The dealer should hand out the cards in the pattern of 1, then 2, then 3 cards per deal. Once the cards have been dealt, look at the cards you’ve been given. If you’re playing with a partner, look at the cards with your partner. The values for the cards are:  Ten: 10 points. Ace: 4 points. King: 3 points. Queen: 2 points. Jack: 1 point. Every player must now make a bid. How much you bid corresponds to how much confidence you have in the hand you've been dealt.  The bidding starts with the person to the left of the dealer, and goes in a circle. You can bid 2, 3, or 4 cards. The bid represents the number of points that you think you will get in this hand. If you aren't confident at all, you may pass, unless you are the last to bid (i.e. the dealer) and everyone else has passed, in which case you have to bid at least 2. Once someone has placed a bid, you have to match them, surpass them, or pass on your turn. For example, you cannot bid two if three has already been bid. The point of bidding is to figure out who is the most confident in their hand, because that is the person who is going to get to choose the trump suit. The points that you can get in pitch are these: high of trump, low of trump, jack of trump, and game. "High" is the highest trump card played, "low" is the lowest trump card played, "jack" is the jack of trump, and "game" has to do with how many face cards you end up with.

TL;DR in English: Get at least three players together. Evaluate your cards. Make bids. Match the bids. Know how the trump works.

Roll up a piece of paper into a cone. Trim the bottom of the cone so that it will sit flat on your head. Tape or staple a ribbon or elastic to the bottom of the horn. Tie the horn to your head.  Decorate the horn with markers, crayons, glitter glue or stickers. You can also use a gold or silver party hat to make a horn. Unroll the party hat and cut out a 1-2 inch section from it. Re-roll the hat and tape it into cone shape. Tape or staple an elastic onto the bottom of the hat. Wear a long-sleeved shirt and leggings or pants. Wear white, pink, purple, or another pastel color. Put stickers on your shirt to add decorations. Use curling ribbon or yarn in pastel colors to make a tail. Cut several pieces of ribbon or yarn to reach from your waist to your knees. Tie these pieces together at one end and pin or tie them to the back of your pants. Wear black or brown shoes to stand in for hooves. You can also wear black or brown gloves as your front hooves.

TL;DR in English: Make a unicorn horn. Wear white or pastel colors. Make a tail. Complete the outfit.

This will make you appear more confident and will help you speak more clearly than if you were to stay seated. It may feel awkward to stand up, but your introduction will be over more quickly than you think. If you are sitting in the middle of the room, you may want to turn your head from side to side occasionally as you speak so you can address the entire class. Even if you are super nervous, smiling will make your voice sound calmer and will help you mask that nervousness. It also shows your classmates and your teacher that you are friendly and approachable. Also, smiling stimulates the production of endorphins, so you are helping yourself to feel a little happier, too! Scientific studies have shown that making yourself smile when publicly speaking endears others to you as they naturally will want to smile back. Chances are that even if your voice is shaky, others won’t notice that. You want everyone to be able to hear you, so when you introduce yourself, do so in a clear, loud voice. Don’t mumble or stare down at the ground. It’s perfectly okay to be nervous—lots of people are when speaking in front of others! But if you can take a steadying breath and project confidence, you’ll be through your introduction before you know it.  Try practicing your introduction in a mirror to prepare yourself beforehand. A lot of the people in your class will be thinking about what they are going to say when it’s their turn and may not even be watching you the entire time you’re speaking. It’s helpful to give your first name, pause, and then give your first and last name, like “Hello, my name is June, June Thompson.” The repetition makes it more likely that others will remember your name. If you prefer to go by a nickname, this is the time to give that detail. Say something like, “Hi, my name is Marcella, Marcella Smith, but you can call me ‘Marcie.’” If you’re in a college course, you can share your intended major. Or if you’re taking a class for a certification for a job, you could share what it is you do for work. For...

TL;DR in English: Stand up when it’s your turn to introduce yourself. Smile when you speak. Speak with confidence. Give your name first. Share why you are taking the class. Offer personable details, like hobbies or interests you have.

Aside from desert regions, most areas benefit from having plenty of large, shady trees in every neighborhood. They improve air quality, reduce erosion and absorb noise. Big trees protect cities from getting too hot by cooling the environment through shade and evaporation. Without trees, urban areas experience what's called a heat island effect, with streets and buildings retaining heat and forcing people to use extra power to cool their homes. No matter where you live, you can start helping your town right away by saving trees.   As a general rule, large, mature trees (like oak or maple) provide more benefits than small, young trees. That's why it's important to save as many older trees as possible.  Learning about proper tree maintenance will help you become a better advocate for trees. There's a right way and a wrong way to prune trees and take care of them over the years, and if you know the difference you can educate people around you. Every town and city has laws dictating which tree species need to be protected and when and how it's OK to cut down trees. In some areas, trees that are delicate, rare or extremely beneficial are protected by law. Knowing the laws in your area will help you be a better advocate for the trees there.  Check https://www.municode.com/library to see which local municipal codes apply to the trees in your area. Get in touch with the city department in charge of tree removal. The department is usually called urban or community forestry. See if they have information on policies they use to determine which trees to cut down. As you become more aware of the specific trees that are beneficial in your area, start noticing when you see them being pruned or cut down. Whether the tree in question is on public or private property, there may be something you can do to save it. Pay special attention to the large, shady trees in your area, since they provide the most benefits and should be preserved if at all possible.   When you see a tree getting cut down, the first thing to do is talk to...

TL;DR in English: Learn how trees affect your home. Find out about local ordinances regarding tree protection. Get involved when you see a tree coming down. Do what you can to save the tree. Participate in planting days.

Give your cigar a final tap on the tip to knock out any remaining pieces of tobacco. Turn your cigar over so that you’re looking down the hollowed-out paper. If you look closely, you’ll see an additional layer of paper lining the inside of the cigar. This is the filter paper that you’re going to remove. Keep the tip on the cigar. You don’t need to remove it to remove the paper. Hold the body of the cigar loosely in your nondominant hand. Pinch the top of the paper with your free hand, using your thumb and index finger to close the opening. Roll it back and forth between your fingers by rubbing your index finger to the right as your thumb rolls to the left. Reverse the direction quickly and repeat the process until the filter paper becomes loose. Use your nondominant hand to keep the cigar stationary as you roll. As soon as you see a separation between the filter paper and the cigar, open your fingers up a little and continue to roll the tip of the cigar. You will see the filter paper begin to separate from the Black and Mild. Continue rolling the paper for an additional 45-60 seconds until the filter paper is visibly loose. Turn your cigar sideways and carefully pinch the top of the filter paper between your dominant thumb and index finger. Slowly remove the paper by pulling it straight out of the cigar.  If the paper isn’t loose enough, you may need to roll the cigar in the middle. If you do, avoid crushing the cigar paper by rolling it delicately. You can use a pair of tweezers if you aren’t confident that you can pull the paper out without breaking the cigar. If you’re removing the filter paper for flavor or because you believe that it is unhealthy, throw the paper in the trash. If you’re removing it to slow the rate that the cigar burns, you can still use the filter paper as a filter without burning it by sticking a piece of it back at the bottom of the cigar. Cut a 1 in (2.5 cm) piece off and roll it into a very tight ball. Insert it into the cigar and let it fall into the tip before packing the tobacco...

TL;DR in English: Tap your cigar and hold it with the end facing up. Pinch the paper near the top of the cigar with your fingers and roll it. Loosen your grip and continue rolling to separate the filter paper. Pinch the filter paper and pull it out carefully. Discard the filter paper.

Write about your frustrations, or talk to a trustworthy friend. Perhaps you feel neglected, or frustrated, or insecure – or all of these things. Try to determine whether he is truly failing to keep up his end of the relationship agreement, or whether you are holding him up to unrealistic expectations. Think about how your feelings have changed over time, and consider whether this problem is symptomatic of any other problems in your relationship. Think about your relationship, and think back to all of the times you've seen your boyfriend recently. Try to understand why he isn't hanging out with you as much as you'd like. It can be much easier to find a solution once you fully understand what's wrong. Keep in mind that speculation will only take you so far. The best way to understand the problem is to ask your boyfriend about it.  Perhaps your boyfriend is very busy with work right now, or he's stressed out about another pressure in his life. He might not feel like he can relax and hang out right now. Be patient. Maybe your boyfriend isn't putting equal energy into your relationship. If you are always making time for him, but he never makes time for you: it might be time for a change. Don't let him take advantage of you.  Your boyfriend may be perfectly happy in the relationship, but completely unaware that you are feeling neglected. Try telling him how you feel and asking him to spend more time with you. There is nothing wrong with wanting to see more of someone that you care about – especially if you are "going out" and you've made a commitment to spend time with each other. Do not think of yourself as "needy" or "clingy" just because you want to hang out with your boyfriend. The important thing is that you both have the same expectations for the relationship.

There are many ways to stream movies on demand nowadays, and it's pretty inexpensive: try Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Media. If you don't have the internet, make a trip to a Redbox or rewatch a movie you've already seen. If you've got a long night alone, watch more than one movie.  Make some popcorn or other snacks for extra fun. Movie night isn't the same without some popcorn and movie theater candy, so make a trip to the grocery store for some inexpensive snacks. Watch a classic. If you've got a list of movies you've been meaning to watch, check a couple off of your list. Watch an old Marilyn Monroe movie, or watch back to back John Wayne westerns. Watch a series. Watching all three original Star Wars movies or all three Lord of the Rings films might take a while, but you'll be able to fully immerse yourself in the story. Check out other series like Star Trek, The Hunger Games, or Indiana Jones. If you understand another language, it can be fun to watch a foreign film without subtitles. If you don't understand any other languages, make up your own comical dialog for the film. Try the foreign film sections of your local film rental shop or Netflix to find an interesting foreign movie. Using a video camera, a Webcam, or even your phone, make your own movie. Write a simple script and then ad lib your lines to make a comedy, a drama, or a horror film. At the end of the night, make popcorn and hold a "screening" of your film.

TL;DR in English: Watch a movie. Watch a movie in a different language. Make your own movie.

Developing a positive outlook is actually the development of a skill. As with any skill, it takes time to master, and it requires dedicated practice and gentle reminders about not falling back into negative thinking. If you change your physical or bodily habits, your mind will follow suit.  In order to feel happier in general, approach your physicality in a positive way.  Practice good posture, standing up straight and keeping your shoulders down and back.  A slump will make you feel more negative.  Smile more often.  Not only will others smile back at you, but the act of smiling may convince your body that it is happier. Being more aware of your actions and your life will make you feel happier.  When you simply go through the motions of your life like a robot, you will likely forget to find the joy in everyday things.  By being mindful about your surroundings, your choices, and your daily activities, you can gain greater control of your life and your happiness.  Consider taking up meditation as a way to center yourself and learn excellent focus. By meditating every day for 10 to 20 minutes at a time that's convenient for you, you can increase your awareness of self and the present, helping you to corral the stinking thinking with greater consciousness.  Try taking a yoga class. Yoga can also help you become more aware of the world as you get in touch with your breathing.  Even just stopping to take deep breaths and rest your mind for a few moments can make you feel happier. If you haven't had a chance to explore your creative side, now's the time. Taking the time to be artistic and to work with your hands or explore your most original thoughts can do wonders for your power to think outside the box and to therefore think positively. Even if you don't think you're naturally inclined toward creativity, there are a number of ways you can express yourself to become more positive.  Take a class to learn about something you've never done before: consider pottery, painting, mixed-media collage, poetry, or wood...

TL;DR in English: Give yourself time to change. Be physically positive. Practice mindfulness. Explore your creative side. Surround yourself with positive people. Set meaningful goals. Don't forget to have fun.

To begin cleaning, dry vacuum the rubber floor thoroughly to remove all grit and dirt. Work from one side of the room to the other so you don’t miss any spots. Dirt can cause rubber floors to wear unevenly and lose their shine. Pour ¼ cup (60 ml) of mild dish soap into a bucket and then fill with warm water. Do not be tempted to use more soap, which can cause a filmy residue on your floor. The level of soap indicated is dilute enough to clean without leaving a film. Mop your floor with the soapy water, starting at the area farthest from the door of the room and working your way toward the exit. Wring your mop periodically. By doing the exit to the room last, you can leave without stepping on the newly mopped floor. There is no need to towel your newly washed rubber floor. Simply let it air dry. If your rubber floor is in a poorly ventilated area of your house, open a window so the mopped floor will dry more quickly. Some solvents and acids can soften or erode rubber flooring if used regularly. While rubber is very durable with normal wear and tear, using harsh chemicals for routine cleaning can crack and deteriorate your rubber. Stick to plain soap and water whenever possible. Rubber flooring is softest immediately after installation. It cures, becoming harder and more durable over time. Manufacturers typically recommend not cleaning it for the first 72 hours after installation. Attempting to do so earlier could cause permanent damage to your floor.

TL;DR in English: Vacuum the floor thoroughly. Create a cleaner of water and soap. Mop with warm water and mild dish soap. Allow the area to air dry. Avoid harsh cleaners for routine cleaning. Do not clean rubber flooring within 72 hours of installation.

It's best to wrap the cookie sheet in muslin or parchment paper before you put the sage on it. Make sure that the leaves do not touch each other or overlap, as this can make them dry unevenly. If only part of the leaf dries, then the sage could be ruined. Choose the lowest temperature on your oven because oven drying can quickly destroy the flavor, color, and oils in the sage. You should dry the leaves as slowly as possible to prevent damage. The highest temperature you should use is 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82 degrees Celsius). This allows the air to circulate, which the herbs need to dry. It also keeps the temperature from rising too high inside the oven. If you have a gas oven, don't prop open the oven because it's dangerous to let the gas fill the kitchen. Instead, open the oven every 5 minutes to allow the air to circulate. Pull the cookie sheet from the oven and set it on a heatproof surface. Wear oven mitts and use tongs or a fork to flip the sage. Then return the tray to the oven. Set a timer and check the sage every 15 minutes to make sure that it is not drying too quickly. If you suspect that the sage is dry before you reach the 1 hour mark, pull it early. It's easy to over-dry the herb. The leaves should be dry and crispy. Rub a leaf between your fingers to see if it crumbles easily.

TL;DR in English: Lay the sage in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Set your oven on the lowest temperature. Prop open the oven door if you have an electric oven. Turn the sage leaves after 30 minutes. Allow the sage to dry for 1 hour. Test the sage for dryness.

To minimize contamination, turn off your building’s heat or air conditioning systems. Close and lock all doors and windows, and shut your fireplace’s dampers, if you have one. If you have time and duct tape is handy, use it to seal cracks around doors and windows.  Sealing the building can reduce your shelter’s exposure to radioactive fallout. Depending on your distance from the blast site, you may have 10 minutes or more to take shelter and seal the building. If you have a battery-operated or hand-cranked radio, follow your local authorities' instructions on sheltering in place. Take off your outer garments carefully to avoid scattering radioactive material. Place them in tightly sealed bags or containers, and store the containers away from other people, pets, and packaged food and water. Quarantining outer layers of clothing can remove up to 90% of radioactive contamination. If you have access to a shower, rinse off with warm water and gently wash yourself with soap. Otherwise, wash with any available water source. Additionally, wipe your eyelids, eyelashes, and ears and blow your nose to remove radioactive residue.  Don’t scrub hard, as damaging your skin could allow radioactive particles to enter your body. If you have an open wound, cover it with a bandage before washing yourself to keep radioactive particles from entering it. Tap water is unsuitable to drink, but you can use it to decontaminate yourself. Any radioactive material in tap water is diluted, so it's safe to use for bathing. Wash your hair with shampoo, but don’t use conditioner, which will make radioactive particles stick to your hair and body. Do not drink tap water or eat unpackaged foods that were outdoors during the radiation emergency. Consume only packaged products that were stored inside, and store food and water in shielded containers. Even if power is off, the refrigerator should help shield food and water from radiation exposure.  Wash your hands with soap and warm water before eating and drinking. It’s wise to have a 3-day...

TL;DR in English:


Irrigate your nose. Use a Neti pot Keep your head elevated. Use steam. Take hot showers. Use a humidifier Massage the sinus areas. Drink fluids frequently. Exercise. Eat something spicy.

It is important that you don’t ask your parents for a party at a bad time. Don’t ask them too early or late in the day or when they are busy or distracted. Ask your parents for a moment of their time when they don’t seem too busy and seem like they have time to talk. Try saying something like, “Mom and Dad, do you have a minute to talk?” Your parents might not want to give you a party for no reason, but they might want to give you a party if they have a good reason to. You might want the party for your birthday and have not had a birthday party in a while. The party might be so you can get closer to new friends or get out of your shell.  For example, “I have made new friends at school this year and I think having a Halloween party would help bring us closer together. Would it be possible for me to please have a party on Halloween?” When you ask them, be calm. Don’t cry, whine, or scream. Keep your tone calm and your behavior polite. It is a lot harder to say no to someone who is being respectful and friendly when they ask than someone screaming and crying.  Say something like, “Is there any way I can please have a party for my birthday this year? It has been so long since I have had one. I would really appreciate it.” When you ask your parents for the party, offer to pay for some of the costs. Your parents might want you to have a party, but are just not able to afford it. Point out the general cost of how much you think it will be and offer to pay for some of the costs. They might just appreciate you acknowledging that the party costs money and not make you pay for any of the party. Say something like, “I calculated it and I think the party will cost around 50 dollars. If I pay the 25 dollars that I have from babysitting, can you pay for the rest so I can have a party?”

TL;DR in English: Find a good time to ask them. Come up with good reasons for the party. Stay calm and be polite. Offer to help pay.

You can take a shower and wash and condition your hair or you can just get it wet in the shower or with a spray bottle. Use cold water to help avoid frizz. When you are finished, remove extra moisture with a towel. Optionally, you can apply a curling mousse after your shower. Comb your hair so it is tangle free. Part your hair down the center from your forehead to the nape of your neck. Position 1 section over each shoulder. Make sure you have an even amount of hair in each half. You can braid your hair in 2 or 4 braids. Two braids will give you looser and more relaxed waves while 4 braids will give you tighter and smaller waves. Plait braid your hair so either 1 or 2 braids are on each side of your head.  Braid your hair in French braids if you want the waves to start closer to your scalp. Braid your hair in Dutch braids (tucking the hair under instead of over) if you want your hair to fall away from your face. Pull an even amount of hair for each piece of the braid. Secure the braids with hair ties. If your hair is still damp when you wake up, allow it to air dry. Or, use a hair dryer to speed up the process. Don't take the braids out when your hair is still wet, or the waves won't be fully formed. Take the braids out of the hair bands and carefully unbraid your hair. Tousle the waves carefully with your fingers.  If your hair looks too flat, you might want to scrunch in a small amount of curling mousse to create more waves. When the braids are dry, spray a small amount of hair spray to keep the waves in place. Don't brush your hair, as it causes frizziness.

TL;DR in English: Get your hair wet the night before. Section your hair. Braid your hair. Dry the braids fully in the morning. Take the braids out when your hair is dry.

If you've want to look like you can drink nails for breakfast and skateboard across coals on your bare feet, you've got to do a little work on the ol' physique. Even if you can't fight to save your life, a decent physique should help you avoid confrontation in the first place.  If it's been a while since you've exercised, or you're not a big fan of working out, start slow. Just start taking walks that last for at least 30 or 40 minutes a few times a week, after work or school. Slowly expand your walk area, getting your walks longer and longer. Try doing 30 minutes of cardio workouts 3-5 times a week, when you start getting into shape. This helps to cut the fat quickly and increase your metabolism. You know what's tough? Eating kale. If you want to really be tough, diet right and increase the number of lean proteins, fresh vegetables and fruits, and whole grains in your diet, and avoid processed foods, fried food, and fattening stuff. Get cut, and get tough. There's no one tough look for hair, but guys and girls can both look tough with long styles and short styles, depending on the kind of look you're going for.  Longer hair works for rocker looks in guys and can look tough especially if you grease it back and make it look ominous. Think Gordon Gecko and Pat Riley. For girls, longish unkempt hair can look rocker tough. Short hair works to look tough, especially if it's very short. Mohawks on guys and girls can look punk and military at the same time. If you shave your head bald no one can grab your hair in a fight since there is no hair to grab. That's tough. For women, wear tough makeup. Wear some heavy black eyeshadow, dark red or black lipstick, and thick black eyeliner. Contour your cheekbones. Women with more defined cheekbones and jawlines are seen as tough. Beards make a guy look like he can start a fire in the wilderness, run wild through the woods with his buddies, chop down a tree with the edge of his hand, and then sit down for a breakfast of bear bones. Grow one. For girls, growing leg hair or...

Mix eight ounces of warm water with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Using a bulb syringe purchased at the drugstore, irrigate your nostrils with this homemade saline rinse to help loosen and liquefy your nasal secretions and relieve congestion. Try doing two sprays in each nostril. Use water that is distilled, sterile, or already boiled and cooled. Always rinse the instrument after each use and let air dry before next use. . A Neti pot is miniature tea pot-shaped device that has gained support from the medical community as a way of cleansing your sinus passages. Water from the Neti pot increases drainage and decreases inflammation in the nasal passages that contributes to sinus headaches. The Neti pot works by flooding warm water through one nostril and out the other. Do not use a Neti pot if you cannot blow your nose. You simply fill the “teapot” with warm water (120 degrees) and tilt your head to allow the water to pour into your right nostril and drain out the left. Then, do the other side.  Use water that is distilled, sterile, or already boiled and cooled. Always rinse the Neti pot with clean water and dish detergent after each use. There have been some reports of rare amoebic infections via the Neti pot in areas with unclean water but there have been no such reports in the United States. When you go to sleep at night, place a couple of pillows beneath your head so that it is elevated. This will make breathing easier and keep the sinus pressure from building up and causing a headache. Fill a one-quart pot with water. Boil the water on the stove for a minute or two or until it is steaming vigorously. Then remove the pot from the heat and place on a heat resistant mat on a table. Drape a large, clean cotton towel over your head and then place your head over the steaming pot. Close your eyes and keep your face at least 12 inches away from the water so that you don't burn yourself. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth for five counts. Then reduce the inhales and exhales to two counts. Do this 10...

Gather fresh flowers first thing in the morning. Store fresh-cut flowers in water. Condition flowers with sappy stems.

One of the most noticeable changes that may occur to girls during puberty is the growth of breast tissue. Explain to your child that this is normal, and that is happens differently for every girl. Take her shopping for a training bra when this development starts to help her feel comfortable about her changing body.  This change may start as young as 8 in some girls. If your daughter requests a training bra before she starts to develop, buy her one anyway to encourage her active choices about her body. As your daughter gets older, she should take control of her own personal hygiene and work out a schedule for it. Make sure she understands that she should shower or bathe at least once a day and wash her hair at least twice a week. Help her decide whether she wants to do so in the morning or in the evening before bed. A child who plays sports may need to wash more than once a day to maintain good hygiene. Most teens deal with acne to some degree, but good hygiene can minimize it. Show your daughter how to wash her face properly in the morning and evening to prevent the buildup of oil and dirt, which can cause breakouts. If her skin is dry, demonstrate how she can moisturize her face after washing it. Help your daughter choose a face wash and moisturizer that suits her particular skin type. During puberty, the underarm sweat glands are stimulated, causing sweat and odor. Buy your daughter underarm deodorant, which will reduce the smell of body odor, or anti-perspirant, which will cut down the sweat produced. Tell your daughter to apply it every day after washing. If she wishes, bring your daughter shopping for deodorant or anti-perspirant so she can choose the brand and scent that she prefers. Assure your daughter that the growth of body hair is perfectly normal during puberty, particularly on the underarms, pubic area, and legs. Tell her that shaving is her choice and not necessary if she doesn't wish to do it. If she does, show her how to do so safely to avoid injury.  Give your daughter shaving cream and a...

TL;DR in English: Get her a training bra as soon as her breasts start to develop. Help her establish a regular routine for bathing and showering. Show her how to wash her face properly to prevent acne. Buy her deodorant or anti-perspirant to help reduce body odor. Talk to your daughter about shaving when her body hair starts to grow.

Some people raise their voices during conflicts without really realizing it. Others yell deliberately in an attempt to exert power over the argument. Whatever your situation may be, yelling will only lead to hurt feelings and further problems. It will not resolve anything.  If you're prone to yelling or if you catch yourself raising your voice, try switching to a softer, whispering volume. Whispering forces you to use a calmer tone and makes you speak without intimidating, frightening, or angering your partner. During a heated argument, many couples tend to dredge up things from the past. This may not be deliberate, as arguments tend to make people remember other things they are frustrated about. However, bringing up one or more unrelated topics will not solve the original problem or the ones being brought up.  Ask your spouse to gently remind you to stay on topic if you start bringing up the past, then reciprocate as needed. Make sure you never act as though your partner is the problem. Focus on the issue or their behavior that caused the problem without attacking your spouse as a person. Focus on finding solutions, not placing blame. This is the best way to make an argument healthy and productive. If you and your partner can calmly and rationally work out a solution to a given problem, proceed with caution and remain respectful. If your intention is to hurt your partner or blame them for something they did, stop the conversation immediately. For example, if your spouse didn't invite you to a party and you felt left out, don't start an argument to make them feel bad or apologize. Start a conversation to calmly and respectfully communicate that you feel left out when you're not invited to things. If you're not sure about your intentions, ask yourself the following questions:  Are you starting an argument (intentionally or not) to get back at your spouse for something they did? Is your goal to shame, humiliate, frustrate, or belittle your spouse? Is there a reasonable solution to the problem(s) at hand? Are...

TL;DR in English: Resist the urge to yell. Stay focused on the present topic. Acknowledge your intentions in the conversation. Understand each other's family patterns.

If you’re going to sell your ring online, make sure you do so through a reputable online seller. eBay is a good option, as is the website I Do Now I Don’t. Read reviews from sellers who have used the websites you’re looking at and make sure the overall experience is a good one. For websites like eBay, you’ll need an account to sell your jewelry. When you’re setting up your account, you’ll need to choose a username and how you’ll accept payment. Once you’ve had your ring evaluated, you’ll need to decide how much you want to sell it for. Start with the price point that your appraiser gives you. You can do additional research online to see how much similar rings sold for. You can also check retail stores for the price of new rings similar to your ring. Keep in mind you’ll need to discount the price because your ring is used. When you're discounting your ring, you'll need to take into account how old it is. Ask your appraiser what a fair discount is based on the age of your ring. People who use websites like eBay will begin their search with specific phrases. They might be looking for a ring in a specific size, with a specific size stone, or a specific metal. The more detail you can put in your ring description, the better. For example, listing your ring as “Women’s wedding ring, size 8” won’t get you as many hits as “diamond and sapphire wedding ring in white gold, size 8, great condition.” You can ship your ring from the post office or from specialty shipping stores like Fed Ex. When you take your ring in to ship it, ask for a tracking number and delivery confirmation. You should also ask for insurance coverage - the person helping you will ask how much coverage you'd like. Ask for the amount you sold the ring for.

TL;DR in English: Look for a reputable seller. Set up an account. Set a realistic price. Describe your ring as specifically as possible. Use shipment tracking and insurance when you ship your ring.

You want your foot to be at a 45 degree angle with the edge of the deck. The outer edge of your foot should be right up against the edge of the brake.  If you’re regular footed (your right foot is dominant), your legs and feet should be turned toward the right side of the scooter. If you’re goofy footed (your left foot is dominant), your legs and feet should be turned toward the left side of the scooter. Your big toe on your dominant foot should be lined up with the groove on the inside of your other foot. The inner edges of both of your feet should be touching. Wrap your fingers around the grips so you have a firm hold on the handle bars. Use your back foot to propel yourself forward whenever you want the scooter to move. Place your foot back on the deck in the same position it was in before.

TL;DR in English: Place your dominant foot on the back of the scooter deck. Place your other foot on the scooter deck next to your dominant foot. Place your hands on the handle bar grips. Kick off with your back foot.

Wash each jar you plan to use with hot soap and water. Dry the jars thoroughly before proceeding.  You could towel dry the jars or allow them to air dry for about 8 hours. A better option, however, would be to dry the jars in an oven preheated to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius) for about 20 minutes. The low heat of the oven will help sterilize the jars further and will also ensure a thorough drying.     Note that the jar must be made of glass and must have a lid with an airtight seal. Never use aluminum, iron, copper, or other metals.     Make sure that the jar is large enough to hold all the prepared squid. A quart (liter) sized jar will likely work best, but one or two half-quart (half-liter) jars may work in a pinch.    Hold the mantle in your non-dominant hand, then pinch the pen with the index finger and thumb of your opposite and. Gently pull the pen away from and out of the mantle.  The mantle is the large upper body of the squid, positioned just above the head. The pen is the transparent backbone inside the mantle.     When you first pinch the pen, you should feel it separate from the sides of the mantle.     As you pull the pen out of the mantle, the viscera (or organs) should come out, as well.    Use a sharp knife and cut the tentacles off just beneath or in front of the eyes.  You will also need to squeeze the tentacles near the point of your cut to force the hard beak of the squid out.     Once the tentacles have been separated, you should throw out the beak, pen, head, and viscera.    Strip away the membrane inside the mantle, then rinse the mantle with cold water to remove any remaining debris.  To remove the membrane, scrape the insides of the mantle with a small, sharp knife. Once the membrane has been loosened, you can peel it away with your fingers. Throw out the membrane after removing it.     Pat the rinsed mantle dry with clean paper towels.    Use a sharp knife to cut the mantle into 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch (1 cm to 1.25 cm) wide rings. Gather both the rings and the tentacles....

TL;DR in English: Sterilize a glass jar. Separate the pen and the mantle. Cut away the tentacles. Clean the mantle. Slice the mantle into rings.

The best time to put together a bouquet from your garden is early in the day before temperatures climb too high, while the flowers are firm and full of water. Avoid cutting flowers in the middle of the day—this is when they're the driest and therefore the weakest, so you'd effectively be starting off on the wrong foot. If for some reason you're unable to gather your flowers in the morning, wait until the late evening hours when the temperature outside has cooled down considerably. While cutting or picking fresh flowers, carry a bucket of room temperature water with you to keep them in until you can find them a more permanent home in a vase. The sooner they start taking in moisture after being separated from the root system, less chance there will be of them dehydrating and becoming wilted and sickly.  If you're going to be in the garden for a while, take the flowers inside or leave them in a dim garage. It's better for them not to spend too much time in the hot midday sun. Refill the bucket between batches so you're not putting fresh flowers in the same murky water. Some garden species (including poppies, poinsettias, and dahlias, to name a few) ooze a thick, milky sap when they're first cut, which makes it hard for the stem to take in water.  The best way to deal with this is to place the flowers in hot water immediately after trimming them, or boil the lower ends of the stems for just a few seconds. Afterwards, you'll care for them the way you would any other flower.  If you have a lighter handy, you can also wave the flame over the bottom of the stem briefly to “cauterize” it. Exposing the stems to heat destroys the cells that produce the sap so that water can filter through unimpeded.

TL;DR in English:


Look for opportunities to break the touch barrier in a chivalrous way when you are together. Hold her jacket out. Offer your hand. Link arms. Do the "ladies first" trick. Lead the way.

If you're interested in electrolysis, it's important to go to a salon with a good reputation. Have an initial consultation so you can learn about the process and lay out a plan.  Electrolysis involves destroying individual hair follicles with chemical or heat energy for permanent hair removal. The treatment will last fifteen minutes to one hour. Some people find the process painless, while others describe it as uncomfortable. Depending on how much hair you have, you may have to return for further sessions. Your skin will be red and swollen after your session, so you'll want to treat it gently. Apply aloe or another ointment recommended by the salon you visited.

TL;DR in English: Have a consultation at a salon. Attend your first hair removal session. Tend to your armpits as directed.

Attach the yarn to the crochet hook using a standard slip knot. This pattern calls for a size J/10 (6 mm) crochet hook and light to medium-worsted weight yarn, but you can vary the hook size and yarn weight as desired to create different sizes. Use lighter yarn and a smaller hook for a daintier bow, or use heavier yarn and a larger hook to make a chunkier bow. Work 25 chain stitches from the loop on your hook to create a foundation for the rest of your stitches. Slip stitch the last chain to the first to create a round.  You can alter the size of the bow by changing the number of chains. The final length of the bow will be about half the length of your foundation chain. Working 25 stitches with the pattern hook size and yarn weight should create a bow between 3 and 4 inches (7.6 and 10 cm) long. Chain two, then work one half double crochet into each chain across the foundation round. Slip stitch the last half double crochet to the top of the initial chain-two. The number of half double crochets should match the number of chains in your foundation. Complete three more rounds following the same pattern used in the previous round.  Chain two, then half double crochet once into each of the stitches of the previous round. Slip stitch the final stitch to the top of the chain-two in each round. Turn the work over in between rounds to keep the stitch pattern even. Cut the yarn, leaving roughly 3 inches (7.6 cm). Pull this tail through the loop on your hook to fasten it off.  Use a yarn needle to weave the start and end tails into the inner stitches of the work. This step completes the body of the bow. You'll create the bow center separately. Attach new yarn to the crochet hook using a standard slip knot. This step starts the bow center. The yarn and hook used for the center of the bow should match that used for the body of the bow. Work four chains from the loop on your hook, creating a foundation row. The exact number of chains can vary depending on the size of the bow and your personal preference. This chain will...

TL;DR in English: Tie the yarn to the hook. Work a foundation round. Half double crochet across. Work three more rounds of half double crochet. Fasten off the yarn. Tie new yarn to the hook. Work a foundation chain. Single crochet across. Work additional single crochet rows. Fasten off the yarn. Wrap the short strip around the center of the bow. Sew the short ends together.

A scan tool reads information from your On-board Diagnostics, version II (OBD-II) system. This system collects information from the sensors in your engine. If the sensor detects something wrong, it reports it as an error code to the OBD-II. A scan tool allows you to read this code. The scan tool plugs into OBD-II data link connector, which is usually located under the dash. The most common location for the OBD-II connector is under the dash by the steering wheel. The owner's manual should have the exact location if you have trouble finding it. Place your key in the ignition and turn it to on, but do not start the engine. You only want the electrical systems running. The scan tool will prompt you to fill in some information about your vehicle. It usually requires information about the make, model, engine, and year of the vehicle. Most scan tools draw power from the vehicle’s battery and do not require a separate power source. The scan tool will display any error codes the OBD-II reports. If the result is in the P0400 to PR409 range, then the EGR valve may be faulty.

TL;DR in English: Use a car scan to test the EGR valve. Locate the OBD-II data connector. Turn the ignition to the on position. Connect the scan tool to the OBD-II data link connector. Read the results.

Your doctor may want to test you for nutrient deficiencies, since being deficient in certain nutrients can predispose you to vitiligo. If you are deficient in something, then you may need to take a supplement to get your nutrient levels back up to normal. Follow your doctor's instructions for supplementing. Some deficiencies that may contribute to you developing vitiligo include:  Vitamin D  Antioxidant vitamins, such as A, C, and E  Zinc Using skin dyes, makeup, or even tanning products can help to camouflage any patches of vitiligo. This is a cheaper option that makes it possible to avoid any of the concerns surrounding taking medication. However, applying these products can take a good amount of time and practice to master. Corticosteroids are the most commonly prescribed topical medication for vitiligo. When applied daily, these lotions can help to add skin color to lightened areas. Because of the serious possible side effects, including skin brittleness, only a doctor can prescribe these creams. Medications applied topically are not as effective on all areas of the body, such as the feet. This is a type of treatment that takes place at a hospital or professional medical setting. Each session will involve exposing your skin to concentrated UVA light twice a week for a period of 12 months or more. When combined with medication, light therapy can successfully restore pigment to some areas. Avoid sun exposure and excessive light therapy if you have a diagnosis of vitiligo. Too much sun may put your skin at risk of further damage and accentuate abnormalities. Ask your doctor about how much light therapy is safe for you. If you suffer from an autoimmune illness, such as Hashimoto’s disease, work with an endocrinologist or your general practitioner to develop a treatment plan. You’ll likely need to take medications to boost your immune system. Doing so can decrease the likelihood that you’ll develop vitiligo. Talk with your doctor about attending an in-person, local group of people suffering from autoimmune or...

TL;DR in English: Treat any underlying nutrient deficiencies. Apply cosmetics to minimize skin differences. Rub on a medicated cream. Consider light therapy if you have widespread vitiligo. Treat any current autoimmune diseases. Join a vitiligo support group.

When you do, look out at the horizon. Fixating on a stable object on the horizon and looking out the window will help your body to match the visual cues of motion with the physical cues like the vibrations.  Don’t try to focus on vegetation that is whipping by on the side of the road. It will make you more dizzy. Holding the book up right instead of putting it down in your lap will make it easier to flick your eyes back and forth between the horizon to the book. If you start to feel ill, you may need to look out the window for a few minutes before you can return to reading. You can minimize nausea significantly by closing the eye closest to the nearest window. This serves double purpose: To relieve your brain from processing two visual inputs of your reading material at once, and also to eliminate most of the cues of movement from your field of vision. If you have difficulty keeping it closed, cover it with your hand. Using this technique you might be able to read with no major nuisance. This will help reduce the mismatch between what your body and your eyes are telling your brain. You can do this by:  Sitting in a more stable part of the car. The back seat is generally more rocky than the front, so you may do best if you sit in the passenger side in the front seat. Leaning your head against a pillow or the headrest to keep it as still as you can. Not reading when you leave the highway and start traveling on windy back roads. Your body gets much stronger physical sensations of movement as the car turns and this will make you more prone to nausea. The fresh air blowing over your face as you read will help reduce nausea and prevent you from getting too hot. The fresh air may reinvigorate you. Fully opening the window may make the pages blow around too much, but chances are that even cracking the window a bit will help a lot. Getting anxious will make you more prone to nausea. Instead take a break from reading and focus on relaxing. You can use relaxation techniques such as:   Deep breathing Meditation ...

TL;DR in English: Look up from reading every few seconds. Minimize the physical sensations of motion while you read. Open a window. Relax and don’t stress about it if you start feeling ill. Eat lightly before and during travel. Settle your stomach while you read. Wear acupressure bands while you read. Don’t smoke or ride in a car that smells of smoke.

This will give you an excuse to touch her under the guise of just being a gentleman and looking out for her. Make sure she's the kind of girl who is okay with all this gentlemanly stuff and doesn't find you too old-fashioned, though. Be her knight in shining armor. Once you're on a date, or hanging out in a date-like setting where you're alone and liking each other, you should look for chances to be a real gentleman so you can touch her. If you're both about to leave and she needs to put on a jacket or coat, hold it out for her like a gentleman so that she can slip her arms into the sleeves. The knuckles of your fingers will probably gently brush up against her as you're doing this. If she responds positively and you notice that her hair is between her jacket and her back, carefully pull it out for her. You can also help her take her jacket off at the beginning of the night, whether you've invited her over your place or have stepped out to a restaurant. This is especially helpful when she might need to keep her balance, such as when she's getting into or out of a car, or when she's stepping over a puddle or any other uneven surface. Girls love this because it shows that you are thinking of her and not just yourself. This is more likely to be appropriate if she's dressed nicely or wearing heels. Again, make sure she's not the kind of girl who thinks it's demeaning of you to suggest that she needs to hold your hand to get stuff done. This will serve as an invitation for her to hook her arm around yours, especially if you're about to walk together. This is a classically romantic way to walk as a couple without being too touchy-feely. You should do this after you've already had a nice date and had a nice time with each other. After dinner or the movie or whatever you did on the date, stepping out for a stroll is a great way to show your affection for each other. If it's your first time trying this maneuver or making this kind of physical contact, then don't step out onto a crowded street where you're both likely...

TL;DR in English:

Sit down with your management team to determine the sorts of problems your business might encounter. Start with challenges after a couple of weeks, then expand from there. Consider that you might be closed to the public for a couple of months.  For example, if you own a restaurant, your challenges might include not being able to have the dining room open and not being able to get adequate food supplies. Once you've listed your challenges, work with your management staff to brainstorm ways to surmount the challenges you've identified. For example, as a restaurant you might use your front-of-the-house staff to deliver food to people or set up curbside pick-up options. During any crisis situation, communication is of the utmost importance to ensure that everyone in your business is on the same page. If you have a relatively small business, your team may simply consist of people who already managed operations. For larger businesses, keep the team to 5 to 7 people. Arrange for the team to meet regularly and keep their operations transparent for the rest of the organization. Using Google Docs or a similar program will help the team share information easily. You might have previously updated your business reports on a monthly or even quarterly basis. However, because the coronavirus outbreak is a rapidly developing situation, you need to keep closer track of your business situation so you can pivot and adapt as necessary before your situation becomes too bleak. Be transparent with your reports and share them with management and the members of the team you've put in charge of your outbreak response. Because of the outbreak, supplies and product may be slower to arrive or may not arrive at all. If you're dependent on manufacturers, you may be hampered by plant closures. Some vendors may also close temporarily. Identify sources that are operating through the outbreak so that you always have back-ups.  Even if your supply chain isn't affected, assume that it might be in the coming weeks. If you find alternative...

TL;DR in English: Identify clearly the challenges your business might face. Create a single team to manage operations through the crisis. Update business tracking and forecasting on a daily or weekly basis. Use alternative sources to help stabilize your supply chains. Focus on empathy over new business opportunities. Stay flexible so you can adapt to a rapidly changing situation.

In facing the death of a spouse or loved one, you may feel overwhelmed about what to do in caring for your spouse.  If your spouse has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and no further treatments are being done, talk with your doctor or healthcare providers about options through hospice and palliative care. Often the hospital's social work department is most helpful in this situation. Consider contacting hospice agencies directly about what they may offer.  Hospice is a Medicare benefit that will generally pay 100% of medical expenses related to your spouse's primary diagnosis.  Hospice benefits are often offered through private insurance too. During the final weeks, your spouse may seek to make amends, and want to feel that it is "okay to go."  Provide a loving hand, and a soothing voice, to your spouse.  Let them know that that they have permission to go, as it may provide them a sense of peace and comfort.  Consider doing the following in the final weeks and days:  First, ask the person what they need to be comfortable. They may want items from home, etc. They may want more jolly music or to look through old photos, etc. Respect what they do or do not want to do — if you think they might like something, and they say no, then respect their wishes and don't force it on them. Create a peaceful atmosphere with soft lighting and soothing music.  Reduce noise where possible. Read a poem, book, or spiritual passage to your loved one. If appropriate, engage in prayer for your loved one in this time of need. Allow them to reminisce and reflect on their life . Gently massage a hand or foot, or simply hold hands. Saying goodbye to a loved one is heart-breaking, but can be a great comfort for the loved one who is dying.  While you may have many feelings of sadness, fear, or loneliness, avoid burdening your loved one with these feelings in their final moments.  Allow family and friends to be share their good-byes, and give them an opportunity to visit or say a few words.  Often the ability to hear is the last of...

TL;DR in English: Seek guidance from healthcare professionals about end-of-life care. Be present and provide reassurance. Find ways to say goodbye. Recognize the signs and symptoms when death is near.

Some people also develop redness and irritation from using baking soda on their underarms. If this happens to you (or even if you just want to try another method), then this recipe is for you. Begin by gathering the necessary ingredients. You’ll need a digital kitchen scale to measure out the ingredients. This recipe calls for:  30g coconut oil 20g Shea butter 10g carrier oil (your preference of almond, castor, or avocado oil all work well) 10g beeswax 15g arrowroot powder 15g food-grade diatomaceous earth 1 vitamin E capsule (400 IU) 10 drops of essential oil If you have a double boiler, you can use it to melt these ingredients together, or you can simply place all of them in a heavy, heat-safe jar and place the jar in a pan of boiling water. Use low heat and stir everything in evenly. The beeswax will take the longest to melt, but have patience. Once the beeswax finally melts and you stir it in, remove the mixture from the heat and give it a couple of minutes to cool—up to five. Before the mix hardens and begins to solidify, mix in the rest of the ingredients (break the vitamin E capsule to add it). Whisk all of the ingredients together well to ensure an even distribution of the materials. If you’ve never tested the essential oil you’ve chosen on your skin before, then try a drop or two on your underarm first and wait several minutes to make sure that it doesn’t irritate your skin at all. This recipe will set into a roll-on solid deodorant fairly quickly. Once the final ingredients are whisked in, you can pour it into a storage container of your choice. A shallow jar will do. You can simply rub some of the deodorant onto your fingers and then apply it to your underarms as needed. If you prefer the familiar, roll-on stick form, then you can pour the mixture into popsicle molds and place them in the freezer for an hour before removing them. Wrap each individual stick in wax paper or parchment paper before storing them to help avoid having them melt together.

TL;DR in English: Gather the ingredients. Melt the coconut oil, Shea butter, carrier oil, and beeswax together. Remove from heat. Add the arrowroot, diatomaceous earth, vitamin E, and your chosen essential oil. Pour the mixture into your chosen storage container.

When infusing an oil, you will want to choose something that has a mild flavor and accepts the taste of whatever is being cooked in it. Olive oil is widely available and easy to infuse. However, its own flavor can be too strong. Consider using extra virgin olive, peanut, grapeseed, or avocado oils. These oils all have lighter flavors. Choosing a lighter oil will help ensure that your oil has the taste and aroma that you want. Before you start, make sure that you wash and dry your orange to avoid introducing any pesticides into your oil. Then, use a zester, Microplane, or a peeler to grate off the orange peel. The number of oranges used with vary depending on the amount of infused oil you are making. In general, you need about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of zest for every cup of oil. Avoid removing any pith. Place the orange zest in a small saucepan and cover it with oil. Warm the pan over medium heat for about five minutes or until the oil begins to bubble. Do not let the oil and zest get too hot or it will begin to burn and ruin the flavor and smell. Heating the orange zest extracts the orange oil that will be infused with your other oil. Let the saucepan cool for a few minutes. For a milder infusion, use a slotted spoon to remove the pieces of zest from the oil while it is cooling. If you would like it to have a stronger flavor, leave the zest in the oil while it cools and strain it out before bottling. If you remove the zest during cooling, your oil will have a lighter coloring. If the zest stays in during cooling, you will have a cloudier coloring.

TL;DR in English: Choose a type of oil. Grate the peel. Heat the oil and the zest. Remove pan from heat.

Before you buy a horse, you should have extensive experience interacting with horses and knowledge of their care. This should include understanding basic horse health and equine first aid.   Most people who buy horses have experience riding horses and caring for them before they make the step to buy a horse. If you want more experience, volunteer to work at a local stable. You can also volunteer at rescues and ‘riding for the disabled’ barns, which will allow you to get to know horses better and give back at the same time. Working with horses will give you a better idea of what owning horses is like and what the work involved entails. You could also shadow people who own horses to see what a typical day caring for a horse is like. Be sure that your knowledge of horses includes local laws concerning them. These can include equine liability laws, whether there are local taxes on livestock that can reproduce (mares & stallions), and fire code laws for stables. Find and learn about boarding facilities, tack shops, feed stores, farmers that produce hay, vets, and farriers in your area, and where the nearest equine hospital and horse ambulance service is.  Make sure that you have access to several hay suppliers, as a horse goes through around 2% of its body weight in hay daily. Visit your horse friends' barns and ask them where they buy their hay. While you are there, also inspect the quality of their hay. Hay bales should be heavy and not damp, moldy, or contain other grains. Get the contact information of multiple farriers in case your regular one is busy. Treat your farriers well and try not to bother then while they're working. Make sure your horse is brushed and waiting for their arrival in cross ties. Find a reputable equine vet. Find one that knows what they are talking about. They should also be friendly and explains things about keeping your horse healthy.  You may also want to get in touch with a trainer who can help you deal with psychological or training issues, should they arise. Locate and visit your...

TL;DR in English: Spend time with horses and learn about them. Build a network of horse people. Calculate and budget for the cost of a horse and its upkeep. Consider alternatives to buying a horse. Find a suitable place to keep your horse. Visit potential boarding facilities.

Add Halloween-themed items to a plain wreath to dress it up. You can purchase a pre-made wreath base, or you can make a wreath from scratch with  Evergreen tree branches,  twigs, or  burlap.  To make the wreath look extra Halloweeny, spray paint it black, orange, purple, silver, grey — or any other color you’d like. Use a hot glue gun (or have your parents help you) to glue black tulle, orange feathers, fake eyeballs, fake spiders, or other Halloween-y items into the wreath. For this you only need felt pens, ping pong balls, electric tea lights, and something sharp to poke holes into the ping pong balls with (scissors or a screwdriver will work).  Just draw on the ping pong balls and then pop them on top of an electric tea light and turn it on to see them glow and flicker. Creepy eyeballs and faces are good choices for this craft! Another option is to attach pipecleaners to the sides of a ping pong ball and make it look like a spider — a glowing spider, that is! Bats, like spiders, are another popular creature featured in Halloween decorations. Use construction paper or card stock to make bat-shaped cut-outs that you can hang around your house. You might even use a large bat-shaped cut-out as the base of a Halloween-themed collage.

Visit websites like CNET or Overstock to browse camera deals. Consider buying a used camera from reputable vendors like Amazon or eBay. Test-drive your camera in-store before actually buying it. Print out a good deal you find online and consult an electronics store for a similar offer. Remember that point-and-shoot and no-zoom cameras are a one-time cost. Only buy attachments you will absolutely need. Buy from a popular brand if you're still uncertain about quality.

It's easy to forget to blink when you're focused on something in front of you, like your favorite television show or a project on the computer. Remind yourself to blink frequently. This will help your eyes focus better and relieve any strain you may have put on them. Try to blink every three or four seconds for two minutes straight. Or, practice the 20-20-20 method. Every 20 minutes, look away from your screen to any object 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It may help to set a reminder alarm. Sometimes, your eyes just need a rest. Place your palms over your eyes with you fingers extending over your forehead and the heel of your palms resting on your cheek bones. Make yourself comfortable and avoid putting too much pressure on your eyes. Palming for even a few minutes can relieve eye strain and help you blink freely since you won't be focused on something in front of you. Eye strain can also lead to additional problems, such as tension and headaches.  Listen to your body, and give your eyes a rest when they tell you that they are tired. Imagine that you're looking at a large figure eight. Trace it with your eyes to strengthen your eye muscles, improve flexibility, and take a break from focusing on something. Repeat this exercise at least five times. You can also imagine turning the figure eight on its side. Slowly trace it for several minutes. Your eyes are controlled by muscles just like every other part of your body that moves. Make sure to stretch them out and use them effectively and efficiently, while giving them recovery time when they are overused, strained, or tired. Start by sitting somewhere comfortable. Hold your thumb in front of you so that it's about 10 inches (25.4 cm) away from your eyes. Focus on it for five minutes, then move your eyes so that they are focused on something 20 feet (6.1 m) away. Do this for five seconds and repeat this process. Focusing on things that are different distances from you can strengthen your vision and improve your eyesight. " Hold your thumb up with your arm extended...

TL;DR in English: Increase the number of times you blink each minute. Cover your eyes with the palms of your hands. Trace a figure eight using your eyes. Practice focusing. Try "zooming.

If you know it's bound to rain or snow, choose a shoe that won't get dirty quite so easily. The moisture, grime, and salt can turn your shoes from white to dingy in no time. Save your white shoes for days when the weather is fair. When your shoes start to smell bad, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda directly onto the insole of the shoe. The baking soda will absorb moisture as well as odors. Just dump out the baking soda before you wear the shoes again. Too much sun exposure can lead to discoloration and fading. When you're not wearing your white shoes, keep them inside. Store them in a cool, dry place, such as your closet. regularly. To keep your shoes looking their best, you can apply some white shoe polish after cleaning them. Dip a soft cloth in the polish, then apply it to the shoe in small, circular motions. Be sure to coat all the leather evenly, and allow the polish to dry completely before storing or wearing the shoes.

TL;DR in English: Avoid wearing white shoes on rainy days. Sprinkle baking soda in your shoes to absorb odors. Store your shoes out of direct sunlight. Polish leather shoes

. Go for a walk, a jog, or a bike ride. Play a team sport. Do anything that gets you up and moving. Exercising will make your body release endorphins, those "feel-good" chemicals that enhance your mood and inhibit the body's stress response. Any type of exercise or physical activity which requires you to expend energy and contract your muscles will trigger your body to release these helpful endorphins. So even if you don't feel up to a spin class or 5k run, just cleaning the house or going for a 15-20 minute walk can help your body start releasing the endorphins you need to feel happier. Scientists have confirmed that what and when you eat can affect how you feel and your moods. If you're feeling sad, try eating a low-fat, low-protein, but high-carbohydrate snack, such as a toasted English muffin with jam. When high-carbohydrate foods aren't overtaken by the presence of protein or fat, they allow for a release of the amino acid tryptophan into your brain. Tryptophan then turns into serotonin, a neurotransmitter than improves your mood, and all within 30 minutes. You could also have carbs such as air-popped popcorn or a slice of whole wheat bread. But be sure to skip foods high in protein, like cheese and poultry. These foods suppress serotonin because all of the amino acids in them compete with and ultimately block tryptophan from releasing into your brain. Sometimes a consistent and boring routine can make you feel bad. Do something out of the blue (but without making any rash decisions!). Go visit a friend or a museum, surprise your Mom with lunch, or take a weekend trip outside your city or town. By mixing things up a bit, you may rediscover your passion for life. You could even shake things up by creating small "disturbances" in your everyday schedule. For example, do things in a different order in the morning. Make coffee after your shower, for example. Leave earlier for work. Just break out of that daily routine for a bit and see how you feel. Sometimes the routines that we become accustom to, while...

TL;DR in English: Exercise Eat a healthy snack. Do something spontaneous. Participate in a hobby. Take a shower or a bath.

Unlike Beckham, known for his long, elegant, arcing crosses with a metric-ton of English on them, Ronaldo's crosses are more like little behind-the-back passes in basketball. He takes the ball deep into enemy territory, then pops it into the air back across the field of play toward a team made for a header or a shot. Though he often plays on the left side of the field, Ronaldo also switches, depending on the play as it progresses, and will go to the center to take crosses as well. To pop a Ronaldo-style cross, make contact with your foot straight, and your plant foot well-behind the ball. Make your follow-through very short to pop the ball up as much as possible, giving your teammate an opportunity to get a head on it. One of the freakiest things about Ronaldo is that he seems to be just as good from both feet. His left-footed crosses and shots are just as wobbly and accurate as his right-footed crosses. Work on your non-dominant footwork by doing dribbling drills with both feet, and taking as many wrong-footed shots on goal as possible. Practice your fundamentals until you can get the right kind of power from both feet, even if it feels backwards. Ronaldo's footwork makes him able to get the crosses off in time, making his play unpredictable and thrilling to watch. If you want to be able to take the ball that deep into territory, you're going to have to be able to evade defensive players and juke them out of their shorts. Practice step-overs to imitate Ronaldo's great dribble. Also, try to practice his distinctive behind-the-leg direction switching pass that he does to himself.

TL;DR in English: Take the ball into the box. Pop the ball up to a teammate. Develop your cross from both feet. Control your dribble with step-overs.

A broken wrist requires medical attention so it can heal properly. If you aren’t experiencing a lot of pain, you can wait until you’re able to see your regular physician. If you have any of the following symptoms, you should seek emergency medical attention:  Significant pain or swelling Numbness in the wrist, hand, or fingers A deformed appearance of the wrist, looking crooked or bent An open fracture (where the broken bone has pierced through the skin) Pale fingers Most broken wrists are treated first with a splint, which is a rigid piece of plastic, fiberglass or metal attached to the wrist with bandages or a brace. This is usually used for a week, until the swelling reduces.  After the initial swelling has gone down, a plaster or fiberglass cast is usually placed after a few days or a week.  You may need a second cast after 2-3 weeks, if the swelling goes down further and the first cast becomes too loose. Most broken wrists heal within 6-8 weeks with proper treatment. This means you will probably have a cast for most of that time. Your doctor will usually conduct regular x-rays through this period to make sure your wrist is healing correctly. After your cast comes off, you may be referred to a physical therapist. Physical therapy can help you regain the strength and motion that you lost after your injury. If you don’t need formal physical therapy, your doctor will probably give you exercises to do at home. Make sure you follow your doctor’s recommendations to help your wrist return to its full functioning.

TL;DR in English: Go to the doctor. Understand the treatment procedures. Wait 6 to 8 weeks. See a physical therapist.

CNET.com and Overstock.com specialize in deals for a wide range of products, including digital cameras.   Overstock.com isn't just an online supplier, it is specifically aimed at providing deals to customers.  Other online or in-person vendors will use marketing tricks like "marking down an item 50%" from a sometimes imaginary, absurdly high price that isn't stated. Instead, Overstock lists prices plainly and will sometimes tell you its original price and the real amount you'll be saving (for example, 34% savings). CNET advertises price ranges, for example $150-$170.  Instead of deciding on a single, standalone price, you can compare prices for one model or across different ones. Online vendors like CNET, Overstock, and Amazon offer credible user ratings and reviews which you can also read to inform your decision.  For instance, if you notice a camera is only $200 but has a 1-star rating from 800 different users, you can probably surmise that it isn't worth your troubles. Unlike microphones and headphones, which tend to be more delicate electronics, cameras tend to be more durable and will still be usable provided that the lens is in good shape.  Amazon.com will specify the exact condition the used product is in.  For example, it it will classify items as "Good," "Very Good," or "Like New."  These are the qualities you want.  If you can, buy a "Like New" item, as this will most likely be a new item that is technically classified as "used" because it has been opened. Online vendors may also provide further details of the used product.  For instance, "This camera is only 7 days out of the box.  I am selling it because I found a cheaper deal on a better model."  Or, "This camera is still relatively new.  I've only had it for a week.  There is some light scratching around the shutter button but the lens is scratch-free." Avoid buying used items from disreputable vendors or from users with no ratings.  People with high user ratings typically sell their items exactly as described and will be less likely to scam you...
