Choose a cardboard box with a lid. Cut a piece of sturdy cardboard for the base. Cut out four thin pieces of cardboard that will fit inside your box. Glue strips of cardboard into place. Decorate your box.

Tell your doctor or healthcare provider about any symptoms you have, including pain, bruising, swelling, or buckling of the knee. The doctor may test your knee’s range of motion by moving your leg back and forth. They may also take X-rays or an MRI of your knee.  Explain to your doctor what caused the injury as well as how long the pain has lasted. Knee hyperextension can cause injuries and tears to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Severe ligament injuries may need surgery. In most cases, your doctor will recommend a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as ibuprofen (such as Motrin or Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) to relieve the pain. These are available over the counter. In more severe cases, the doctor may prescribe you pain medication. Take the medication according to your doctor’s instructions. If you have a torn ACL or PCL, your doctor may recommend surgery to restore your torn ligament. This surgery will repair the ligament by grafting a sample of tissue from yourself or a donor into your injured knee. It can take between 2-9 months to recover from ACL or PCL surgery. At the beginning, you may need to walk on crutches. Once the pain has reduced and you are able to move more easily, your doctor may give you a referral to a physical therapist to begin a rehabilitation program. This program will help you regain flexibility and extension in your knee without injuring yourself further. For minor hyperextension issues, you may not need physical therapy. Your doctor may just recommend low-impact exercises for a few weeks.

TL;DR in English: Visit a doctor to examine the injury. Take an anti-inflammatory pain medication. Undergo knee surgery if you have a ligament tear. Get a referral to a physical therapist if necessary.

Before you mount your horse, make sure they are in a place where they will not be spooked. Move them away from buildings, fences, people, other horses, or trees before you mount the horse. Double-check your tack to make sure everything is secure, particularly the girth. You can also make sure the stirrups are properly adjusted to fit your feet. Mounting blocks are miniature sets of stairs used to help a rider mount a horse. Put the block on the horse’s left side, and place the reins over the horse’s head. Climb the stairs to easily get on your horse.  Mounting blocks also put less strain on the stirrups when you get on the horse, which decreases the chance of slipping. Mounting blocks also make your mount smooth, which in turn makes your horse less likely to spook. It is typical to mount a horse from the left side. Place the reins in your left hand so you can control the horse when you get in the saddle. The right side of the horse is known as the “off” side. It is helpful to place the heel of your boot at the edge of the stirrup. Hold onto the saddle to steady yourself, if you need to. Your foot should be completely inside the stirrup. Put your left hand on the saddle horn to help you get on the saddle. Then, jump up slightly to raise yourself onto your horse, and swing your right leg around the horse’s body. Place your right foot in the stirrup when you reach the other side. Move your right hand forward as you do this and take hold of the rein with your right hand. When both feet are securely in the stirrups and you have the reins in both hands, sit into the saddle carefully and gradually. You are now ready to ride your horse! If you drop into the saddle quickly, you could startle the horse and they could jump or buck.

TL;DR in English: Pick a safe spot to get onto your horse and check your tack. Use a mounting block if you need help getting on the horse. Stand to the left of your horse and grasp the reins with your left hand. Position your left foot in the left stirrup. Grab the saddle horn with your hand and pull yourself onto the saddle. Lower yourself slowly into the saddle.

Your doctor will do another STD test to confirm your positive results. They'll take a sterile sample to make sure it's properly tested. After the test, discuss your results with your doctor. You may be able to get free STD testing at your local health clinic or Planned Parenthood. If you have insurance, it may cover your STD test. If your results are positive, you'll need to treat your infection. Many STDs are completely curable, but diseases like HIV and herpes will need lifelong management. Talk to your doctor about the treatment you need, then take your medication as directed.  You'll likely receive an oral medication, but you might also receive a cream. If you have questions about your treatment, talk to your doctor. Try not to panic if you have an STD. Treatment will help you recover or live a normal life. Sometimes an STD test can produce a false-negative result, so it's best to see your doctor if you're having symptoms. They'll do a different STD test under sterile circumstances to find out if you have an STD. This will help you get a more definitive result. Tell your doctor that you're concerned that you have an STD. Even if your results come back negative, you may have a different medical condition. If you're at risk for STDs, it's best to get tested often. At a minimum, take an STD test at least once a year to make sure you're healthy. If you notice symptoms, get tested sooner. You should also get tested regularly if you're sharing needles.

TL;DR in English: See your doctor if your test results are positive. Get medical treatment from your doctor if you have an STD. Talk to your doctor if you have STD symptoms but test negative. Do an STD test annually if you're having sex with multiple partners.

Your doctor and physical therapist will give you specific instructions for exercises to do during the post-operative period. Follow these instructions as carefully as possible, as they will help you regain your full range of motion. After two weeks, your physical therapy should increase in intensity. You may begin placing more emphasis on strengthening, balance ,and proprioceptive (related to reaction movements) exercises. Physical therapy should continue to get more and more demanding over the next few months. Rehabilitation can take six months to a year or more. Each individual’s progress will be different, so ask your doctor before you return to sports or any other strenuous activity outside of physical therapy.

TL;DR in English: Perform post-operative exercises with care. Increase intensity gradually. Return to sports only when your doctor approves.

Use a permanent marker to do this. The mark will indicate where you need to cut the pipe.  Make sure the circumference of the pipe is large enough so that the top of the soda bottle can fit inside. You can purchase PVC pipe from your local hardware store. The cone side of the bottle should be pointed toward the ceiling at this point. Check to see that the opening of the bottle inside the PVC pipe is not touching the ground. The PVC pipe should be propping the bottle up off of the ground. If the opening of the bottle is touching the ground, then you will need to cut a larger piece of PVC pipe.

TL;DR in English: Mark a spot 5 inches (13 cm) from the end of a PVC pipe. Place the opening of the bottle inside the PVC pipe.

Any cardboard box with a lid should work for this project. A shoebox would be the most ideal choice, yet if you want your box to be significantly different in size than a shoebox, feel free to use whatever you can find. From a separate sturdy cardboard box, cut out a square or rectangle to act as your false bottom for your secret box.  Measure the length and width of the cardboard you are using for your secret box. Refer to these measurements when cutting out your false bottom. Do not cut the exact measurements, because then the bottom will not be able to fit into the box. Also, don’t cut too much smaller than the original measurements because then the bottom will not snug into place. Make sure to cut two half circles on either side of the bottom, this is how you will lift the false bottom out of place with your fingers. Referring to the measurements of the cardboard you will be using for your box, cut out four thin strips of cardboard to act as the foundation to the false bottom and also the walls to the secret compartment. How much room you have in your compartment will be dependent on how tall or short you make these four pieces. Take the four cardboard strips you have cut out and glue them to the walls and bottom of your cardboard box. After they dry, place the false bottom piece of cardboard on top of the strips.   Check to see if the false bottom passes off as the real bottom of your box. If all looks good, lift up the false bottom and put your secrets in the hidden compartment, then cover it again with the false bottom. Since you used cardboard for this secret box, you can decorate it however you want!  Paint Construction paper Wrapping paper Stickers Markers or crayons

TL;DR in English:


Make the skirt. Pin the skirt to the bottom of the shirt. Add 4 pleats to the top of your skirt, placing 2 in front and 2 in back. Sew the skirt to the shirt. Add the zipper.

Whether you keep a more old-fashioned paper file or a digital file, make a single place for all of your financial records. Create subcategories that identify the type of bill or expense.  If you're keeping digital records, you may be able to use your email account to help organize your records. Use the same email address for all of your bills and create tags or filters to put those billing statements in categories. To reduce clutter in your inbox, open a separate account for bills and don't use that email address for personal email. You can also scan your bills and make PDFs to keep on your computer as a digital copy. Keeping your income statements and receipts in one place will make for fewer headaches come tax time. If you're keeping paper files, create a separate folder specifically for deductible expenses.  Within your file for deductible expenses include files with categories, such as home and office expenses, mileage and vehicle expenses, childcare expenses, and medical expenses. Go through your expense files at least once a month. If you paid a bill that you believe is deductible, move it to the deductible file (or make a copy of it and keep it in both places). Any document that has your signature, account number, medical, legal, or other identification information should be shredded rather than simply thrown in the trash. By leaving this information intact you are putting yourself at risk for identity theft.  If you don't own a shredder, you can buy a basic one online or at office supply stores for typically around $20 or $30. There are more expensive versions that may shred faster, or shred more documents at once, or that also shred CDs or credit cards. It's up to you whether a fancier shredder is worth the investment for you. You can also subscribe to a shredding service if you don't want to do all that work yourself. For example, in the US, office supply stores such as Staples or Office Depot will shred your documents for you at the rate of about $1 per pound. Just as you may do a spring cleaning...

TL;DR in English: Keep all of your statements and billing notices in one place. Include income statements and receipts for deductible expenses. Buy a shredder to use when disposing of financial documents. Purge records you no longer need once a year.

Remain calm and maintain a poker face by relaxing your face muscles. Avoid tightening your eyes, raising your eyebrows, or smiling. Even if you perform minute facial changes, these changes can tighten your facial muscles and give your opponents an idea of your hand. If you’re worried about giving away too much with your eyes, consider wearing dark sunglasses to help maintain your poker face. However, even with sunglasses, try to keep your eyes as still as possible. Movement in your eyes can give away your emotions by triggering muscles on the side of your face. Sometimes, smiling and acting confident, having conversations with your opponents, and putting on the show of being relaxed and easygoing can be just as deceptive as the best poker face. If you act positive, you might also be able to trick your opponents into folding prematurely! Nervous tics like knuckle cracking, nail biting, and fidgeting can reveal your emotions and therefore your hand to your opponents. Remain still and silent in order to throw them off. If that doesn’t work for you, fold your hands together or bring a stress ball and squeeze it constantly. Make sure the game you’re playing is real when you record; without stakes, you might not exhibit any problematic tics. Put the camera somewhere that’s easy to forget about, to help you relax and display your tics. Play back the video and look for any emotional tells, or ask a friend to guess what cards you had at any point in the video, and take note of what made them think the way they did. No matter what kind of poker face you choose, the most important thing is that you remain consistent. Whether you’re dealt the worst hand possible or the best hand you’ve ever seen, remaining cool and maintaining your poker face will throw off your opponents!

TL;DR in English: Relax your face and jaw. Use sunglasses to conceal your eye movements. Throw your opponents off by smiling. Master body language. Record yourself playing poker for practice. Remain consistent.

It is important to pace yourself as you read the poem so you have a chance to process the words and notice small details of the poem. To help slow you down, take deep breaths as you read. If you rush through the poem, you won’t fully experience the poem’s sound and rhythm. Make sure you say each syllable of each word, as this is important for the poem’s meter. Let each sound stand on its own so the poem’s rhythm is as close to the poet’s intent as possible.  Each syllable and sound will contribute to the rhythm of the poem. Focus on the sound and rhythm of the words. Poems can be tricky to read because the lines break in the middle of a sentence. Don’t stop at the line breaks, as this makes the poem sound choppy and difficult to understand. Instead, read through the line breaks and pause or stop at the punctuation.  Pause at commas or dashes. Fully stop for a moment when you reach a period or semicolon. If the poem doesn’t have punctuation, treat the line breaks as potential pause points. Decide how long of a pause feels right for this poem. Use the emotion evoked by the poet to enhance your reading of the poem. However, don’t try to act out the poem. A reading should let the poem speak for itself. For example, you might use a warm, wistful tone for a love poem, or inject a bit of rage when reading an angry poem.

TL;DR in English: Read slowly. Articulate each word in the poem. Pause at punctuation, not line breaks. Incorporate emotion into your reading, but don’t be dramatic.

Once you find one or more ideal restaurants to purchase, you need to approach the owner of those restaurants. Before you do so, consider hiring a commercial real estate lawyer. A lawyer will help you negotiate a deal, conduct due diligence, and close on the purchase. If you have made these purchases before, you probably know someone who can help. If this is your first time buying a restaurant, ask friends and family for lawyer recommendations. If you don't have any luck finding a lawyer by word of mouth, contact your local bar association's lawyer referral service. After answering a few questions about your legal needs, you will be put in contact with various qualified lawyers in your area. With the help of your lawyer, contact the restaurant owner and let them know you are interested in buying their restaurant. Ask to sit down so you can discuss the specifics. If the restaurant owner is represented by an agent or lawyer, they will probably tell you to get in contact with them. When you contact the owner for the first time, do so discreetly. The owner's employees may not know about possible sales and the owner may want to keep it that way. Therefore, avoid walking into the restaurant and asking the wait-staff about a possible purchase. When you sit down with the owner to discuss the possible sale, negotiate what will be included. The more property included in the sale, the more expensive the sale will be. However, when you buy property already installed in the restaurant, you avoid the cost of buying and installing new property. Buying existing property can help smooth the transition, but avoid buying things you do not need.  Ask about inventory. Is the seller going to sell their ingredients and alcohol? This might be a good idea if you are keeping the menu the same. However, you probably do not want to buy a whole lot of inventory if you are going to be making changes (e.g., you do not want to buy tomatoes if nothing on your menu will call for tomatoes). Inquire about furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Ask...

TL;DR in English: Consider hiring a lawyer. Contact the restaurant owner. Discuss what will be included in the sale. Value the business. Decide how the sale will be executed. Execute a signed letter of intent.

Get an idea of what kind of ring you would like by searching online. You can look at websites, which have a variety of rings. Or, you can look at the rings jewelry shops offer before visiting the physical store. Looking at rings online will give you an idea of what is popular and available, as well as what the type of platinum ring you want usually goes for. You can purchase your ring online, but it is usually best to go to a physical jewelry store so that you can make sure the ring is what you want and fits correctly. You may find a seemingly perfect ring at the first jewelry store you visit, but it is best to visit at least a few jewelry stores before committing. Visit at least three jewelry stores and even more stores if possible. Compare these stores for quality, selection, and prices. You can choose to visit only high-end stores, mid-range, or a range of jewelry shops. Platinum used to be sold at a fixed price, but now jewelers change the price of platinum each day. The price usually fluctuates between 4 to 5% on a daily basis. Compare prices while visiting jewelry stores to make sure you’re getting the best deal.  Take note of the quality of rings when comparing prices. Ask to separate the labor and platinum charges when asking for the price of a ring. Along with the hallmark that certifies the ring, ask if the jewelry store offers tamper-proof quality assurance cards. You can keep this card if you plan to sell your ring in the future, or you can keep it in a jewelry box if you plan to pass it on to a family member in the future. Unless you have your heart set on a style of ring, look at and try on several different styles. You might find one style you like on your first try and find the perfect ring on your third or fourth try. Make sure to try each style on when searching for a ring, as the style you prefer may not look as desired when on your finger.

TL;DR in English: Check online for rings to research design and ring options. Visit several jewelry stores. Compare prices. Ask for a certification. Look at several different styles.

Sew the bedsheet and lining fabric together along the bottom edge of the skirt (the wider part of the semicircle) with the bed sheet fabric facing inward. Remove the pins and flip the skirt inside out. Unpin the bottom 2 pins from the zipper so you can match the edges of the skirt to the edges of the shirt. Sometimes there will be some excess skirt material, so simply cut the excess fabric off of the skirt. Make sure the pleats are small so they don't make the flow of the skirt look boxy.  Make sure the pleats are evenly spaced around the skirt. User your vinyl tape measure to double-check. Grasp the fabric and fold it over to the right as though you were starting to make a fan. Pin the folded section of fabric down so that it will stay in position. Iron the pleat to make it precise. Sew the pleats using downward stitches. Stop at the point where you want the skirt to twirl freely. Make sure that the dress is folded inside-out to make your seam less visible. Sew the back seam of the skirt up to 1/4" (6 mm) above where the end of the zipper would fall.  Pin the zipper's final few inches down the back of the skirt, and sew it into place.

Compliment them first. Keep your text straightforward. Read the text aloud to catch harsh phrasing. Avoid "ghosting" them.

Try to schedule a time and make sure you both have set aside an hour or two to deeply discuss the topic. Undoubtedly, you will need plenty of time to discuss the nuances of the relationship and whether or not it is something you and your partner want to pursue.  Try to get rid of any distractions, like cell phones, or computers before starting the conversation. Make sure your partner understands that the time to talk should be fairly serious. You don't want your partner to be surprised. Try to gauge their opinion before progressing any further. If he/she reacts very poorly, do not try to continue pushing the topic. It is better to cease discussion of it immediately.  Make sure to express that there is nothing wrong with your current relationship but you want to try adding another dimension. Pay close attention to your partner's body language as it may convey emotions which words may not. Be honest and open as to your motives to express that you are not trying to devalue your partner's role in the relationship.  Explain clearly that this type of relationship is giving and not selfish. It's one that is not codependent. Be sure to express that the open relationship can be on a trial period. It is okay to stop it at any time if either partner feels uncomfortable with the situation.

TL;DR in English: Find the right time to discuss the topic. Bring up the topic of an open relationship and ask what your partner thinks about it. If your partner seems to react positively, introduce what an open relationship is and why you want it for the relationship.

It is easy to block out the words and start listening to the voices in your head. However, it may be wise to pay attention to exactly what your partner is saying. Consider the implications of his or her words. When all is said and done, consider your feelings on the topic: even if you've already thought it through, ask yourself in the moment whether you are ready to marry this person. Feelings can change when you confront the reality of a situation. Don't take too long. It's good to stay in touch with your feelings, but you might offend your partner if you keep him/her waiting. " Be genuine and straightforward. Make it clear that you are accepting. If you hesitate or joke about the situation, you may hurt or confuse your significant other. Let yourself be swept up in the moment. Let it be special! It may feel more authentic if you don't plan your reaction.  Let your emotions show how excited you are about marrying him/her. Say, "Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!" or "Oh my gosh – of course I'll marry you!" If your partner set up a special proposal (e.g. something with a theme, or something that plays on an inside joke between the two of you), consider responding in line with that theme. Have fun with it. Starting with things like "Oh, Sam..." may throw your partner off balance. Unclear words can confuse the proposer. You may need to repeat your answer – it's easy for the proposer miss your words in his/her haste. Repetition also affirms your answer and makes it feel more real. Thinking about this kind of commitment might make you feel excited, peaceful, or anxious. Whatever you are feeling, feel free to express it to your significant other. If you want to build a life with this person, you should share your emotions! There are times when it's better to play it cool, but accepting a proposal is not one of those times. Place your hand on your partner's hand, and show some affection toward him/her. This small gesture will show some support and give your partner a sense of closure. Don't be afraid to show your...

TL;DR in English: Reevaluate your feelings in the moment. Smile and say, "Yes! Show your emotions. Touch your partner. Let your new fiancee put the ring on your left-hand ring finger.

Pull the rubber bands down carefully, one at a time, to avoid bending the flaps. Now when you load a small projectile into the outer tube and draw back on the plunger using the pencil as a grip, it will sail across the room!  Keep in mind that pulling too hard on the slingshot may break it—after all, the it is made of cardboard. Your homemade slingshot can launch marshmallows, foam pom-poms, or other soft projectiles for some good, clean fun.

TL;DR in English: Stretch the rubber bands over the ends of the pencil.

One of the easiest ways to make your bedroom look brand new is by giving it a fresh coat of paint. Select a color that coordinates with your furniture and that you won't mind seeing every day when you wake up or go to sleep!  If you have a smaller bedroom, consider painting your walls a light neutral color to make the space look larger. Look for shades like white, light cream, pale yellow, or even light brown. For an even easier redecorating project, paint only 1 wall of your room in a different color to create an accent wall. Adding a wallpaper feature in your room will be a visually appealing work of art. Position a piece of furniture in front of the wallpaper, like your bed or a seating area, and let it act as a fun backdrop for the room.  For a less permanent option, consider using sheets of repositionable contact paper. Instead of traditional wallpaper, you might put up textured wallpaper or adhesive vinyl. For example, you can find faux shiplap, brick, or wood wallpaper or vinyl to decorate your walls. Textured walls can create a big impact for a low cost! Although it's a lengthier project, removing carpeting and adding wood or laminate floors can transform your entire space. To ensure that the job is done correctly, consider hiring a professional to remove the carpet and lay the new flooring. Then, place a plush rug under your bed to round out the room.  Laminate tends to be an inexpensive option for most people, but the cost will depend on the size of the space and how much flooring needs to be removed first. If you have vinyl flooring, you can paint or stencil it for a new look. Use paint labeled for use in high traffic areas. Large thrift stores and some antique shops can have inexpensive furniture and unique decor items for your room. Once you find a piece that you like, you can refinish the furniture to fit with the new theme of your bedroom.  Unless there are signs posted stating otherwise, it's normally okay to negotiate with the salesperson at the thrift or antique store to lower the price of...

TL;DR in English: Repaint the room to freshen up the space. Consider hanging wallpaper to create visual interest. Swap out carpeting for wood or laminate flooring for an instant upgrade. Visit thrift or antique stores to find cheap furniture and home decor. Look for inexpensive furniture on online marketplaces if you're on a budget. Add a chair to create a seating area in your room.

Blot the rug with a towel to remove as much moisture from the mess or stain. Scrubbing will only deepen the stain so it's important to pull the stain out by blotting the rug, not by rubbing it in.  Sprinkle the damp area with a liberal amount of baking soda. Let the baking soda sit on the spot for at least 30 minutes and then vacuum the area. Mix the 1⁄2  tsp (2.5 ml) of dishwashing liquid, 2  c (470 ml), and 1⁄2  c (120 ml) of white vinegar together in a bowl. Using a clean sponge or towel, scrub the mixture onto the area.   For wool rugs with pile on them, be gentle with the scrubbing to maintain the wool’s polished look. Spot treat a small area of the wool rug to test whether or not the rug will have an adverse reaction to the cleaning agent. Typically avoid dry powder cleaners, alkaline cleaners that contain soda ash, Oxy cleaners, hydrogen peroxide, and bleach to treat stains or clean wool rugs.  Alternatively, mix 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of ammonia per 1 cup (240 ml) of water. This mixture works well on pet stains. Place the dry towel on top of the area and, using your hands, press your full weight on different areas of the towel to absorb as much moisture as you can from the spot. Repeat this motion on different parts of the towel until the spot is mostly dried. This will allow air to pass up and underneath the rug and give you access to any wet spots that might need to be cleaned up from the spill seeping through the rug. Turn on a heater or the ceiling fan to help the rug dry faster.

TL;DR in English: Prevent long-term stains by removing them immediately after they occur. Treat spots with a diluted vinegar mixture. Blot the area with cold water and a clean towel. Lift the moist part of the rug by propping it up against a piece of furniture.

Communicating by text may be the only way if you met this person through online dating, but take special care to compliment them first. Sometimes tone doesn't quite translate well through text. Paying them a compliment first will prevent your message from taking a harsh tone.  You might write, for example: "I enjoyed going out with you last week! You're an amazing hiker. That said, I just didn't feel the spark that would make me interested in a second date." Don't sugarcoat your words. Over-flattering them may give the person false hope. Write one or two compliments, then move on. Having this conversation through text can make the message long and rambling. Your recipient will understand you best if you keep the text simple. Aim for 3-5 sentences, at most. You might say, for example: "Hey, I had a fun time getting to know. Right now, though, I'm not interested in another date. Hope all is well!" Running through your text aloud can limit the disconnect in tone between texting and talking in-person. Consider how the words feel when said aloud and if there is a kinder way of phrasing your feelings, if your response seems cold.  Instead of texting, "Thanks, but you're not my type, buddy," for example, you could text, "You are a sweetheart. I'm glad we went out, but I think it would be best if we didn't schedule a second date." Adding an emoji, like a smiley face, can help make the text feel less brusque. Maturity is important when letting them know over text, as is treating their feelings seriously. If they ask you about a second date over text, respond to them directly. Deleting the text and forgetting about them might seem tempting, but you risk hurting the other person.

TL;DR in English:


Acknowledge your specific fears. Understand your triggers. Question the power the fear holds over you. Imagine the outcome you desire.

so you look and smell great. Shower daily, wash your face every day, and brush your teeth twice a day. Put on deodorant before you leave the house, and do your laundry every week or so. Doing these things will help you look and smell awesome so you can flirt with confidence.  In addition, it’s a good idea to get a haircut every 4-6 weeks and cut your nails regularly.  Shave 1 or more times a week to keep your skin smooth and touchable. You don’t have to wear sexy clothing to feel confident and cute in your outfits. Pick a button-down, jeans, dress, skirt, or blouse that boosts your confidence. Fill your wardrobe with awesome items that make you feel great so you can feel fun and flirty in any outfit.  Put on a form-fitting white tee and a pair of tailored, dark-washed jeans for a casual yet playful look. Wear a pencil skirt with a cream-colored lace blouse for a feminine style that you can play up for work or for a night out. If you wear very revealing clothing, you may seem desperate rather than flirty. Be tasteful with the amount of visible cleavage, for example. In particular, showing off your neck is a flirty gesture that may get the interest of your crush. Choose tops with a “V”-cut to show off your neckline, and try wearing a choker-style necklace to draw attention to your neck. This is an easy way to add a subtle flirty touch. Styling your hair in a sexy way can instantly boost your confidence level. Tousled waves are flirty because they can mimic that sexy, bedhead style. High ponytails are fun because you can show off your facial features and neck. You can feel flirty and cute with nearly any hairstyles, but search online for inspiration if you want ideas.  To make tousled waves, try braiding your hair and sleeping with them in to make instant curls. You can also use a curling iron to curl all of your hair.

The proper stance is the foundation to your shooting technique. Keep your feet hip/shoulder width distance apart and relax your knees. Your hips, shoulders, and elbow should be facing forward. Your body should be aligned no matter where you are around the post. Stand close to the ring.  Have someone else watch you as you practice your stance. Another person can see any errors and help you make adjustments. Practice your stance in different positions around the post. Make sure your feet are always pointed towards the post. Hold the ball with your dominant/shooting hand and keep your fingers soft.  Hold the ball as high as you can in both hands. Use your other hand for balance, but do not apply any pressure to the ball with this hand.  Your fingers should be touching the ball, but leave a little bit of space between the palm of your hand and the ball.  If you are a younger player or a new player, it may be easier to hold the ball with two hands. Holding with two hands will give you more power when you are shooting. Once the ball is firmly in your hands, hold the ball high above your head. Your elbow should be by your forehead. You should not be able to see the ball when it is above your head. Bend your elbows and your knees at the same time. Keep your elbow by your forehead and only move the top part of your arm.  Straighten your elbow and your knees and then release the ball.  Toss the ball up in an up-and-over motion toward the ring. Aim at the center point above the net as you shoot and flick your hand forward with your shooting arm.  It is important that you bend your knees before you release the ball because the power of your shot comes from your knees. Flicking your hand will cause the ball to spin backwards after you release it. This helps with the accuracy of your shot. Keep your back straight as you release the ball.

Affordable, everyday black clothing can make a striking impression. Black somehow makes casual outfits look "put together." Best of all, since most people wear these sorts of clothes often in their day-to-day lives, you'll be getting a good value out any clothes you end up using.   Examples: Black t-shirts, jeans, shorts, socks, skirts, belts, baseball caps, tennis shoes, etc.  Notes: Try to avoid a 100%-black outfit when you're wearing casual clothing. One-color outfits can make your features blend together, giving you a "formless" look. For instance, a black t-shirt looks great with blue or grey jeans, but if you're wearing it with black jeans, you might use a different-colored belt to break up the monotony. Black is perfect if you're trying to make a "bookish" or "artistic" impression. Use a single eye-catching black accessory to lend a little artsy flair to outfit or wear a black academic-inspired outfit to show that you're busy pondering life's deeper questions.   Examples: Black turtlenecks, flannel shirts, older blazers, scarves, boots, glasses, jewelry, berets, accessories, makeup, etc.  Notes: Quirky and antique-style accessories go great with these types of outfits. For example, an out-of-fashion scarf from the 1970s suddenly looks deliberate and fashionable on an intellectual with a black beret at the coffee shop. When it comes to formal occasions, always bet on black. "Nice" black clothes are a great investment because they're appropriate for almost any formal get-together, from weddings to funerals. Black formal wear is stately, elegant, attractive, and respectful all at once — you'll never be sorry to wear it when you're enjoying the finer things in life.  Examples: Black suits, dresses, tuxedos, veils, earrings, ties, scarves, cufflinks, dress shirts, dress pants, leather shoes, high heels, etc. Believe it or not, there's some scientific truth to the old saying "black is slimming." Black outfits absorb light, rather than reflect it, so they tend to make it hard to see the wrinkles, lines, and...

TL;DR in English: Wear black casual clothes for a cool, understated look. Wear black semi-formal clothes for an intellectual look. Wear black formal wear for any serious occasion. Wear form-fitting black clothes for a sleek look. Use distressed, "punky" black outfits as a show of youthful rebellion. Use black-accented accessories for a distinguished, versatile look.

Your team will be inspired to help you accomplish your forward-looking goals if they’re included in them. In meetings or in conversations, take some time to explain a long-term goal and how the present tasks can help you and your team accomplish that goal.  It’s easy to get lost in mundane day-to-day tasks, so carve out some time in your schedule to talk with your team about future goals. The best way to lead your team into the future is to connect with them about it in the present. Your team will feel valued if you recognize and praise their hard work or if they accomplish a major goal. The recognition could be a formal announcement or even an informal comment or gathering. Your team will respond to your appreciation and feel motivated to perform well.  Consider an employee of the month award or a regular award that is meant to recognize a team member who has consistently performed well. Avoid publicly criticising your team. If you have a problem or an issue, keep the criticism contained to closed meetings or direct communications like email or phone. Establishing a work environment that inspires your team to enjoy their work can dramatically increase their performance. Provide a safe, anonymous system for your team members to report problems and respond to any problems with respect and compassion.  Show your team that your work environment is built on trust. If you make a promise, keep it! The happier your team is, the more productive they’ll be. A big factor in inspiring your team to perform is letting them know that they can speak up if they have an idea or if they find a problem. Whenever you hold meetings, make sure your team knows that you welcome feedback, even criticisms. It will make your team feel comfortable bringing issues to you and will make them perform better if they think it’s safe to voice their opinion. In addition to making your team feel more comfortable, an open-door discussion policy can also lead to greater productivity because your team may come up with a better way of doing...

TL;DR in English: Share your long-term vision with your team to inspire them. Give praise and recognition to your team when they succeed. Create a positive work environment. Allow people to give their input. Spend time together outside of work to connect your team.

If you want to have a strong relationship with a guy friend, never make unkind comments about the person he's dating, even if you really don't like them.   Your friend chose his dating partner for a reason. You should never make him feel like he has to choose between his friendship and the person he dates. If you can't make friends with your pal's partner, at least try to be civil. Invite the couple to hang out at group events, where you won't have to interact as closely with anyone you dislike. Guys don't always open up about what they're thinking about, so don't push him to talk about serious subjects if he doesn't want to. If a serious conversation does come up, let it run its course, then move on to something else. You can make a joke, change the subject, or just start doing something to break the ice. For example, if your friend mentions missing his grandfather who passed away, give him a chance to speak his mind, and share your own thoughts on the subject if you have any. Then, when you feel the moment has passed, turn the conversation back towards something that happened earlier, or the plans you have for the rest of the day. This is a friendship, and he doesn't owe it to you to change. Criticizing a guy friend about the things you don't like will break down your friendship.   For instance, if he always wears wrinkled clothes or you think he spends too much money on frivolous things, you should probably keep it to yourself. If you're very close friends with someone, it can sometimes be acceptable to let them know when you think they are making a mistake or handling a situation the wrong way, but this should be done very sparingly. If you decide you don't like someone else's character traits, you may decide you don't want to be their friend at all. In a strong friendship, you have to be willing to move past little arguments. State your opinion when you need to, then put the incident behind you without holding a grudge.  If your friend does something thoughtless or says something that hurts your...

TL;DR in English: Don't talk bad about his dating partner if he has one. Follow his lead for how serious the conversation should be. Don't point out faults in his personality. Move past disagreements quickly. Give the friendship time to grow.

It's easy to ignore or deny your fears, even to yourself. But courage can't come into play unless you have a fear to face down. By owning your feelings you've taken the first step toward gaining control over the situation.  Name your fear. Sometimes fear makes itself known immediately, clearly, and other times it’s more difficult to name those anxious feelings lurking in the back of your mind. Let your fear rise to the surface and give it a name. It may be concrete (like a fear of cats) or situational (like a fear of being called on in class). Don’t judge your fears. Acknowledge what comes up with no attachment to “good” or “bad.” Is it something obvious, like the sight of a snake on a trail? Maybe passing your career counselor's office door sends your mind into a downward spiral when you walk down the corridor in your high school. Figure out everything that triggers your fear. The more you can understand your fear, the better. Does your fear cause you to stay in bed instead of getting up and going to a class you're afraid of failing? Do you avoid visiting your family in another state because you don't want to get on a plane? Figure out exactly what power your fear has over your mind and behavior. Now that you better understand your fear, think about what exactly you want to change. Think about yourself experiencing life without your fear. How do you feel?  For example:  If your fear is commitment, imagine yourself happily with a partner. If your fear is heights, imagine yourself conquering a tough hike. Connect with the feeling of accomplishment. If your fear is spiders, imagine yourself seeing a spider and feeling neutral.

TL;DR in English:


Confirm the persimmon is sweet. Eat when firm and orange. Wash the persimmon. Cut off the leaves and slice. Eat raw.

This is a common myth held by students. Particularly if you’re a slow reader, you may find it more effective to read the beginning and end of the chapter, along with pull-outs (information placed in a box, graph, or other attention-grabbing area on the page) and anything bolded or italicized in the text. Another common mistake students make is to read their textbook once and then never look at it again. A better strategy is to practice layered reading.  On your first read-through, skim the material. Determine what the main idea or goal of the text is (often signaled by the chapter title and subheadings), and mark any places that you didn’t feel as though you understood well. Read headings, subheadings, and other organizational elements. Textbook authors often construct their chapters so that it is very clear what the goal of each section is. Use this to your advantage. Read for more detail in later readings. Sometimes, students will just move their eyes along the page again and again and feel like they’re not getting anything from their “reading.” Reading is an active process: you need to be engaged, paying attention, and thinking about what you read. While it’s tempting to break out the rainbow of highlighters when you read through a chapter, avoid this temptation. Research has shown that highlighting actually can hamper your reading because you may feel tempted to highlight every single thing you feel is important without thinking critically about the ideas presented. If you must highlight, wait until you’ve completed your first read-through, and use the highlighter sparingly to point out only the most important ideas. It can be tempting to just read past words or elements you don’t understand in an effort to “just get it done.” This actually damages comprehension. If a dense textbook on Marxist economics has terms that you don’t initially understand, don’t just read on: stop what you’re doing, look up the word, and understand it before continuing.

TL;DR in English: Understand that you do not have to read every single word. Plan to read more than once. Understand that reading is not the same as studying. Know that highlighting is not ideal for first-time reading. Understand that you may need to look things up while reading.

This includes electronics, gems, and jewelry, as these are the most pledged items at pawn shops. One of the best ways is to go online to an auction site like eBay and study what people pay for various goods. This will give you a good idea of the general retail value of items at a certain moment in time.  Bear in mind that over the course of time, trends change, so you'll need to remain up to date with current retail values in order to assess correctly. You can also visit other pawn shops in your area to see how they are pricing items. Apply for an internship or a job at a local pawn shop. This will allow you to learn how professionals assess goods, as well as how they determine what percentage of the assessed value to pay in the event a customer wants to sell an item. This is a strategic plan that will guide you in achieving your goals for the business. You can find more details about how to write a plan  here, but you will want to include:  Your business concept: The focus here is on describing your business and the market for your products and services. Market research: Market research is critical, as it describes the nature of the market you are entering into. Identify who your major competitors are, who your target market is, and the preferences and needs of your target market. A marketing plan: This should describe how you plan on addressing the needs of your market, how you will communicate with customers, and how you will advertise your shop. An operations plan: This will describe your operations on a day to day basis. It would include, for example, how you will make loans, how you will acquire items to sell, how you will price items and what interest rate you will charge for loans. A financial plan: This would outline how you will finance your business, what your expected costs are, and projections as to your revenue. Using your financial plan   determine your projected annual expenses and gross income. You'll need to have enough capital to cover both your operating expenses and your customer loans....

Natural treatments should always be used in conjunction with medicine prescribed by a doctor. While natural remedies will not cure typhoid fever, they can relieve symptoms, like fever or nausea, caused by the disease. Natural remedies are meant to help you feel better while the antibiotics are fighting the disease, not to take place of the antibiotics. Ask your doctor about any natural treatments that you start. You want to make sure they don't interact with the particular antibiotic you are taking. Always check with your doctor before using these treatments for children or pregnant women. It’s important to drink a lot of fluids when suffering from typhoid fever. Drink at least 64 ounces of water each day and supplement it with juice, coconut water, and other hydrating drinks. Dehydration generally gets brought on by diarrhea and high fever, which are two of the most common symptoms of typhoid fever. In severe cases, intravenous administration of fluids is recommended. Typhoid fever may cause you to experience nutritional deficiencies. Pay attention to what you eat and be sure you provide nutritious, high-calorie meals for your body. Having a higher intake of carbohydrates will help you replenish your energy, especially if you have smaller meals multiple times a day. If you are having gastrointestinal problems, it is important to eat only soft foods that are easy to consume, such as soup, crackers, toast, puddings, and jello.  Eat foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. The main point of this diet is that the four different types of foods are bland and easy on the stomach which helps with nausea and diarrhea.  Drink a lot of 100% fruit juice (many fruit juices have a lot of sugar and can make diarrhea worse) with barley water, coconut water, or rice congee. Fish, custards, or eggs will be effective if you do not suffer from gastrointestinal complications because they provide a good amount of proteins. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables to keep your vitamins levels up. A tea made out of water and...

Set each piece of your new granite countertops in place one at a time. Make sure each piece is set correctly and is positioned flush against the wall. Granite can be extremely heavy, so have a friend or 2 assist you in lifting and placing each countertop piece. Once all of the pieces are in place, you’ll likely notice that there are gaps or places where the countertop isn’t sitting level. To fix this, place small plastic shims between the top of the cabinet and the bottom of the granite. Check multiple places with a level to make sure your countertop is perfectly flat. Lift up or take off the granite pieces. Squirt half dollar-sized dollops of silicone sealant onto the top of the cabinets every 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) all over the entire surface. Then, lay the pieces back down one by one and adjust them as needed to ensure that they’re properly positioned. Check with a level halfway through the silicone’s drying time to make sure your countertops haven’t drifted. Wipe the countertop down with a clean cloth and a mixture of warm water and dishwashing liquid. Dry the counter completely with another clean cloth. Then, saturate the surface of the countertop with a sealant. Let the product sit for 10 minutes, or as long as the product instructs, and wipe the excess off with a clean cloth.

TL;DR in English: Set the granite in place. Use shims to level the counter. Glue the counter down with silicone sealant. Clean and seal the countertops.

Sweet persimmons are typically tomato-shaped, and often sold under the name Fuyu in the West. If your persimmon does not match this description, read the ID guide above. You won't enjoy it if you follow these instructions with the wrong type of persimmon. Sweet persimmons taste best when firm and crisp. A ripe persimmon is orange or deep orange-red.  A yellow persimmon is edible, but not fully ripe. Do not eat an unripe green persimmon, which will always taste astringent.  You can eat it overripe as well, with a spoon. This tastes different, but you might like it. Rub the persimmon clean under running water. The peel is edible, so wash it thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, cut off the leaf-like flower and stem. Slice the persimmon into thin wedges or slices, as you would a tomato. The skin is edible and usually thin. If you prefer to peel it, briefly immerse the whole fruit in hot water. Remove with tongs, then peel. This is the same process as blanching tomatoes. A sweet persimmon should be firm and crisp, with a sweet flavor. If there are seeds, remove and discard them.  Try adding lemon juice, or cream and sugar.  For more uses, check out the recipes below.

TL;DR in English:


Leave your door open or closed — whichever makes you feel more comfortable. Leave a light on as you try to fall asleep. Find ways to self-soothe.

If you're treating a stain on a piece of fabric or clothing, stretch the fabric over a large bowl. Position the stain in the center and wrap a rubber band around the outside of the bowl to hold the fabric in place. Bring a kettle of water to a boil and slowly pour the hot water through the stain and into the bowl.  The hot water can loosen the stain and force it out of the fabric. If you're cleaning a fabric stain on a couch, you'll need to remove the cover or cushion to get to the stain. Get out a small bowl and pour in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of gentle dishwashing liquid. Stir in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of hydrogen peroxide until it's combined. Apply the solution to the stain and let it just soak in for 20 minutes. Once the stain looks like it's lifting, wash the material in the washing machine. Only use the brightening dish soap solution on light fabrics since it can lighten dark fabrics. Another way to lift stubborn stains is to coat the stain with white vinegar. Take a few spoonfuls of liquid laundry detergent and rub the soap in. This should loosen the stain. Wash the fabric in hot water to completely remove the stain. If you don't have very many materials to make a deep cleaning solution, just spray club soda mixed with equal parts of white vinegar over the stain. Use paper towels or an old towel to blot up the mixture. You can repeat spraying and blotting until you see the stain lifting.

TL;DR in English: Pour boiling water through the material. Apply a brightening dish soap solution. Apply vinegar and liquid laundry detergent. Spray and blot up a club soda and white vinegar mixture.

They are great hunters and natural rat predators. You will still be killing the rats indirectly but it won’t cause them great pain. This is just a way of initiating the natural cycle. A good cat will clean up your rat infestation in just a few weeks. Just remember a cat will not be able to catch a rat that is in the attic or behind a wall. You will know where they have been by rat droppings you notice or by the holes chewed in walls, food boxes, insulation and other places in your home. This is where you’ll want to leave the traps. You can purchase these from hardware stores and other retailers if you decide you want to kill the rats. Be aware that rat poison does not kill a rat instantly, it can take up to a week to kill the rat. The rat will be in immense pain during this week, so keep that in mind.  Read the instructions and cautions carefully. Most rat poisons include warfarin, which causes internal bleeding and other drugs that kill rats, but can also be harmful to pets and people. Check the traps regularly. A rat corpse will give off an unpleasant odor if you do not remove it immediately. Traditional snapping traps are much more humane than rat poison, as it should kill the rat immediately. However, in some cases it can only severely injure the rat, in which case you should put it out of its misery. These are flat, sticky pieces of wood that trap rats until you can remove them. Once again, make sure that you only set glue boards if you intend to kill the rats. These rats are not going to survive, as there’s no way to get them off the glue board. Some rats will chew off their feet or legs in order to escape from the trap and others will get their head trapped in the glue and suffocate. It is not the most humane way to get rid of rats but it will work. If you find a rat in a glue trap that has not been killed, you'll have to stomp on it with a boot to kill it. It's either that or hitting it on the head with something hard like bat. Do whatever you can stomach and then toss the rat in an outdoor trash can.

TL;DR in English: Get a cat. Identify the rats' feeding and nesting places. Leave rat poison or traditional snapping rattraps in rat-infested areas. Use glue boards to get rid of rats.

There are two parts to all fractions: the numerator, which is the number above the line, and the denominator, which is the number below the line. While the denominator tells you how many parts a whole has been broken into, the numerator tells you how many pieces of that whole there are. In the fraction ½, for instance, the numerator = 1 and the denominator = 2, and the fraction is one-half. When two or more fractions have a common denominator, it means they all have the same number as a denominator, or that they all represent wholes that have been broken into the same number of pieces. Fractions with a common denominator can be added together very easily, and the resulting fraction will have the same denominator as the original fractions. For instance:  The fractions 3/5 and 2/5 have a common denominator of 5. The fractions 3/8, 5/8, and 17/8 have a common denominator of 8. To add fractions together when they have a common denominator, you simply add all the numerators together and rewrite the sum over the original denominator.  In the fractions 3/5 and 2/5, the numerators are 3 and 2. In the fractions 3/8, 5/8, and 17/8, the numerators are 3, 5, and 17. In the example of 3/5 + 2/5, add the numerators 3 + 2 = 5. In the example 3/8 + 5/8 + 17/8, add the numerators 3 + 5 + 17 = 25 Remember to use the same common denominator, since the number of parts that the whole is divided into remains the same, and you are just adding the number of individual pieces.  The fractions 3/5 + 2/5 = 5/5 The fractions 3/8 + 5/8 + 17/8 = 25/8 Sometimes a fraction can be put into simpler terms, and this includes dividing it to get a number that’s not a fraction or decimal. In the example 5/5, this fraction can be solved easily because any fraction where the numerator and denominator are the same will equal 1. Think about it like a pie that’s been cut into three pieces. If you eat all three pieces of the pie, then you’ve eaten one whole pie. Any fraction can be converted from a fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator,...

TL;DR in English: Recognize the numerator and denominator. Determine the denominator. Locate the numerators. Add the numerators. Rewrite the fraction with the new numerator. Solve the fraction if necessary. Reduce the fraction if you can. Convert improper fractions to mixed numbers if necessary.

If each of a syllogism's premises are accepted as valid, the conclusion may also be valid. Logical validity, however, also depends on the form and figure of the syllogism, which both depend on the propositions of the syllogism. In categorical syllogisms, four different types of propositions are used to make up the premises and the conclusion.  “A” propositions propose a universal affirmative, such as “all [categorical or specific term] are [a different categorical or specific term].” For example “All cats are felines.” “E” propositions propose exactly the opposite: a universal negative. For instance, “no [categorical of specific term] are [a different categorical or specific term].” More demonstratively, “No dogs are felines.” “I” propositions include a particular affirmative qualification in reference to one of the terms in the premise.  For instance, “Some cats are black.” “O” propositions are the opposite, including a particular negative qualification. For instance, “Some cats are not black.” By identifying which of the four types of propositions are used, we can reduce a syllogism to three letters to help determine whether it's a valid form for the figure of that particular syllogism. Different figures of syllogisms will be described in a following step.  For now, simply understand that you can label each part of syllogism – including each premise and the conclusion – according to which type of proposition they make to identify the syllogism's mood.  For instance, consider a categorical syllogism with the mood of AAA: “All X are Y. All Y are Z. So, all X are Z. A mood refers only to the types of propositions employed in a syllogism of standard order – major premise, minor premise, conclusion – and may be the same for two different forms based on the figure of the syllogisms in question. A syllogism's figure is determined by whether the middle term serves as subject or predicate in the premises. Recall that a subject is what the sentence is about, and the predicate is a word that applies to the subject of...

TL;DR in English: Recognize types of propositions. Identify the mood of a syllogism based on its propositions. Determine the “figure” of the syllogism. Recognize the valid forms of syllogisms.

If leaving your door open lets in a little light or helps you feel less claustrophobic, for example, then leave your door open to help make your surroundings more comfortable as you try to fall asleep. If closing the door as you fall asleep helps you feel more secure, then leave it closed as you try to fall asleep. Anything you can do to make yourself feel comfortable and safe as you fall asleep will contribute to your ability to fall asleep after seeing a movie that scares you, etc. Scary themes in film, television, etc. are often associated with the dark. If you leave a light on as you try to fall asleep, you can help mitigate your fears and fall asleep more easily. Too much light while you sleep, though, can actually prove detrimental to your health, so it's best not to make a habit of it.  Leave a night light or small lamp on. This may give you reassurance without providing too much light and keeping you awake. A television can provide soft light as you fall asleep too, even if you mute the sound and simply leave the television on for the light it gives off. Think about if there are any items you have or rituals that you find comforting. A lucky rabbit's foot you can rub, for instance, or a favorite blanket or stuffed animal to snuggle. Try petting your dog or cat, or hanging a dream catcher. Or maybe you find the act of making a cup of sleepy time tea and sipping it calming and comforting. Identify these self-soothing behaviors (you may need to experiment a little) and use them to help comfort and calm yourself. If you are spiritual, you could keep something that is part of your religion nearby, such as beside the bed or under your pillow. Some items might include a rosary or crucifix, etc.

Use a sharp paring knife to pierce the spaghetti squash in 10 to 15 places, spacing the cuts evenly apart.  It is very important that you pierce the squash before microwaving it. Otherwise, it could overheat and explode in the microwave. Piercing the squash can be difficult, and you may need to use a forceful, stabbing motion to successfully work the knife through the exterior. Work carefully, however, so that you do not accidentally cut yourself in the process. Do not follow the preparation instructions for cutting the squash. The squash should be soft enough to pierce with a fork when done. If your microwave does not have a rotating turntable inside, rotate the squash 180 degrees after 5 or 6 minutes to make sure that it cooks evenly. You do not need to it to be cool to the touch, but allowing the squash to cool down for a few minutes will give it time to release some of the hottest steam and liquid through the cut marks. Use a sharp knife to cut the squash open lengthwise, from top to bottom.  Wear oven mitts or hold the squash with a towel as you do this. It will still be hot. Cutting the squash open should be very easy. If it isn't, you may need to microwave it for another 2 to 3 minutes. Dig the seeds out with a metal spoon. The stringy pulp connected to the seeds should also come out, but be careful to avoid scraping out strands of flesh.

TL;DR in English: Pierce the squash instead of cutting it. Microwave the squash for 10 to 12 minutes. Let it cool for several minutes. Cut the squash open. Scrape out the seeds.

Maine Coons love to be around people, so you will need to make sure that you can accommodate your Maine Coon’s social needs. Your Maine Coon may even try to follow you around the house and participate in your daily routine.  Try to set aside some time to just sit and pet your Maine Coon every day. Most Maine Coons are not fond of sitting on laps. Your Maine Coon may prefer to sit next to you while you pet her. Maine Coons are well-known for their excellent mouse catching skills, so try to provide your Maine Coon with toys that will stimulate these skills. Try sticking to toys that stay low to the ground. Some good possible toy choices for your Maine Coon include:  fur mice crinkly ball toys jingle ball toys electronic mouse toys a laser pointer aimed at the ground Cats need their claws and they also need to scratch. The problem is that sometimes cats will try to scratch things that they should not scratch. To prevent your Maine Coon from scratching things he shouldn’t, provide some scratching posts for your Maine Coon.  Corrugated cardboard and rope-wrapped wooden posts make great scratching posts.  Try placing a few of these around your house. If you catch your Maine Coon scratching something he shouldn’t, do not yell at him or hit him. Just gently pick him up and take him over to one of his scratching posts. Try rubbing a catnip on your Maine Coon’s scratching posts. This may attract him to the posts and make him more likely to use them. Your Maine Coon should always have access to clean litter boxes. Fill up the boxes with two inches of fine-grained, clay, clumping cat litter. Scoop out the litter boxes daily and change the litter at least once per week.  Always make sure that you have one more litter box than your total number of cats. For example, if you have three cats, then you need to have four litter boxes. Cats can learn how to use a litter box if you show them where the box is located. After you get your Maine Coon, take her to the litter box so she will know where to find it.

TL;DR in English: Spend lots of time with your Maine Coon. Give your Maine Coon some mouse-like toys. Put up some scratching posts. Keep a couple of litter boxes for your Maine Coon.

For example, you may write under the Skills and Training heading, “Proficient in Microsoft Word and Excel” or “Trained in computer programming software.” You do not need to provide graphic details about your experiences in active combat or while deployed, as this can end up cluttering your resume. Only provide details that you think employers will find relevant to the position you are applying for. Stay away from details that may feel unrelated to the position. For example, you may list operations or missions you worked on in your resume if you feel it illustrates important skills like leadership or conflict-resolution. However, you do not need to provide more than 1-2 key details about the operation or mission on your resume.

TL;DR in English: List honors and achievements in a separate section entitled “Honors. Include additional training in a section called “Skills and Training. Stay away from details about active combat or deployments.

Fungal infections show up on the surface of your fish. Notice any discoloration on the scales of your fish and look for cotton-like growths on the surface. With a fungal infection your fish will develop a white film or white patches on parts of its body. This may seem like general discoloration, but a closer look often reveals a white, fungus-like growth. A fungal infection can occur on the fish’s eyes as well as its body. The fish will have enlarged, filmy-white eyes that may face upward or seem non-functional. If this is the case with your fish, treat it as you would any other fungal infection. Fish will usually swim awkwardly and lie on the aquarium's bottom if they have an advanced fungal infection. They may also gasp for breath at the top of the water. They may also stop eating if they are very ill.

TL;DR in English: Look for discoloration on the fish’s body. Notice problems with the fish’s eyes. Look for changes in your fish's behavior.

Occasional rewards will sweeten the tasks and help keep you on track. If you manage to do something that you didn't the day before or that you were absolutely dreading, you deserve a nice treat. By rewarding yourself after completion of small milestones along the way to the big one, you build in automatic reinforcement that you're doing the right thing. Keep most rewards simple but effective, such as extended breaks, catching a movie, splurging on a calorie-laden snack (once in a while!) or similar things. Leave really large rewards for the overall achievement or endpoint. By using self-rewards, you'll train your mind to actively seek working before the reward.  Breaks are rewards and necessities. Don't confuse the need to take regular short breaks to restore creativity and freshness with laziness. Clearly, the flip side to rewards is punishment. People respond best to positive reinforcement and it's best to stick to the rewards. Punishing yourself for not achieving things will simply backfire, confirming your worst-held beliefs about yourself that you're lazy and good-for-nothing. That's a pointless exercise if ever there was one. A list of weekly goals will help you stay focused and motivated. As you go, it's inevitable that your goals will change. You'll also pinpoint the ways that are most effective for achieving them. As they morph, so should your list. Post the list everywhere and anywhere. Try making it your lock screen on your device or phone. To do this, simply write them in your notes, take a screenshot and make it your background. Create daily goals, monthly goals, and even yearly goals to keep looking at every day differently. To enjoy any benefit, there is usually a cost to be suffered. The pain/suffering cost is usually emotional, often physical and sometimes psychic. Often that pain involves a feeling of being left out or going without while others don't seem to be putting up with the same challenges (usually they have their own challenges which you don't see though). And that pain can cause...

TL;DR in English: Learn to reward yourself for the very small things you complete or try. Write down your goals each week. Realize that life is about trading costs and benefits. Know that the work is worth it. Declutter your schedule. Stay on track. Don't give up.

Once the left and right eye pictures are open, convert them both to grayscale by clicking on the 'Image' menu bar and selecting 'mode' then 'grayscale'. Assign the left eye image red, green and blue channels by going back to the 'Image' menu bar and selecting 'mode' then 'RGB'(the image will still appear gray). Do not repeat this step for the right eye image. Now you are ready to merge the left and right images. To begin, make sure the left eye image is still selected 'Open the channels display menu' by clicking on the 'Window' menu bar and choosing 'channels'. Press the shift key to highlight both at the same time.  An alternative to this step is to use only the blue channel instead of the blue and green when pasting into the left eye image. Important: only the blue and green channels should be shaded blue. At this stage it doesn't matter which boxes to the left of the channels show eyeballs (eyeballs indicate which channels are displayed). Go back to the right eye image, select the whole thing (go to 'Select' menu bar, then press 'all' OR press Ctrl+A) and copy it (go to 'Edit' menu bar, then press 'copy' or press Ctrl+C). Switch back to the left eye image and paste (go to 'Edit' menu bar, then press 'paste' or press Ctrl+V). An eyeball should appear in all four channel boxes. At this point, you should see a blurred red and blue picture. You are almost done. But first the left and right eye images need to be better aligned. Start by highlighting only the red channel in the channels display menu (it should be shaded blue). The next step is crucial because it allows the red-tinted picture to be shifted over while the blue-tinted picture is still visible. Go to the RGB channel and click only on the square box to the left. An eyeball should appear in all four boxes, but only the red channel should be shaded. Pick a point in the center of the picture to match up; for example, if a person is your subject, eye pupils are a good target. Zoom in on the target by selecting the magnifying glass icon in the tool bar...

If you do not have one, you can use a large skillet with a long handle and deep sides. Make sure everything is at the proper temperature and check that there are matches or a lighter near by.  For fruit dishes, use a preheated shallow pan.  For meat dishes, use a cast iron or enamel roasting pan. Plate and serve your dish immediately after the flames die down. No cooling time is needed, meaning nothing will stand between you and your delicious meal.

TL;DR in English: Use a flambé pan. Serve your impressed guests!

True friends accept you for who you are. When you're with your friends, you should feel comfortable wearing clothes you like, sharing your opinions, and being honest about your interests. Consider if you feel comfortable around your friends or if you feel pressured to be someone you’re not.  For instance, if you find yourself hiding things from your friends or doing things you don't like doing, you might not be able to be yourself with them. You might not always agree with your friends. However, a good friend will accept that you have differences and not make you feel like you can’t express them. A good friend will treat you with kindness. Consider the way they talk to you, their tone of voice, and whether or not they make you feel good about yourself. Make sure that your friends are treating you well. Otherwise, they might not be a good fit for you. It’s okay for your friend to point out mistakes you made or to disagree with you. However, they shouldn’t be mean about it. For instance, a good friend might say something like, “I’ve noticed that you’ve been making bad grades lately. Is something going on?” They shouldn’t say, “Wow! Your grades are really tanking. Study much?” Friends care about your thoughts and feelings, so they’ll really listen to you. When you’re talking, check to see if they’re engaged in the conversation. Make sure they’re nodding along and seem to understand what you said. This is a sign that they truly care about you and are a good friend.  When you’re having a conversation, they should be totally focused on you, not their phone or what they want to say. Make sure you’re also listening to them when they’re speaking. A good friend will lift you up and make you feel happy, while a toxic friend can leave you feeling drained. After you spend time with your friends, consider how you’re feeling. If you feel happy and excited to see them again, they’re probably good friends. If you feel drained or anxious, they could be a bad match for you.  If your friend acts like an energy vampire or draws...

TL;DR in English: Decide if you can be yourself around them. Pay attention to how they treat you. Notice if they actively listen to you. Observe how you feel emotionally after being around them. Determine if you have similar goals and values. Make sure you can rely on them to be there for you.

Almost any type of compact table or desk can be appropriated for this purpose, so explore several different options and go with one that looks the most natural in the space you’re decorating. It’s also worth putting some thought into any additional features you might want, like drawers, cabinets, or built-in lighting elements.  The table you choose should be low enough to avoid looking out of place for it’s intended use, but high enough to sit at comfortably.  Extra storage space can be a major plus if you have a habit of stockpiling cosmetics or prefer to keep all of your beauty supplies in one place. Color is another important consideration when narrowing down your choices. To determine which style would look best in a given space, it's important to first take stock of what's already there. If possible, you'll want to find a table you can tie in with your walls, flooring, and surrounding furniture to create a seamless transition for the eye. A vibrant patterned table will make a bold statement in a muted setting, for instance, while neutral tones like black, white, gray, and natural wood finishes have the advantage of going with the greatest number of accessories. Forget the short, knobby powder room stools you’re used to hunching over. Pull up a cushioned bench or chic high-backed chair and take a load off while you put your face on. One of these perches can make your dressing area much more comfortable, especially if you tend to spend a lot of time there.  Bring in a chair with adjustable height settings if you’re having trouble finding one that’s the right height for your table. Chairs that roll or swivel can increase your mobility and lend a commanding air to vanities that double as letter desks. If your dressing table is going to be primarily a decorative fixture, look at a variety of styles to find a replacement that matches the sensibilities you’re expressing. You could also trade in a large central mirror for several smaller ones to establish a busier look, or install an elaborate folding mirror...

TL;DR in English: Pick out a table that suits your needs. Include your table in a unifying color scheme. Substitute a cozy seating solution. Get creative with your main mirror. Utilize multiple lamps for consistent lighting.

If the bagel was wrapped individually, take it out of its wrap and throw it away. If it was stored in bulk with other bagels, take it out and rewrap the rest of the bagels before replacing them in the freezer. Microwaving a bagel is a good way to quickly heat it up straight from the freezer. Keep in mind that it won’t produce a crispy exterior, though. If you do want that crispy outside, opt for the toaster or bake the bagel in the oven. Separate the bagel halves and put them face-side up on a plate. If you choose to not use a plate or dish, set them on top of a paper towel in the microwave to keep them from sticking to the surface. If the bagel is unsliced, you could either slice it before you microwave it or wait until afterward. The total cooking time depends on your microwave, but it usually takes about 1 minute and 15 seconds to 2 minutes to thoroughly cook through. Test how done it is by poking the doughy section with your finger—if the bagel still feels cold or hard, it’s not done yet. Be careful when taking the plate out of the microwave as it may be hot to the touch.

TL;DR in English: Pull a bagel out of the freezer. Put the bagel on a microwave-safe dish. Microwave the bagel in 20-second increments until it is cooked through.

Hydrogen peroxide may whiten teeth, but you need to use it with caution. To try this method, mix 2 parts of baking soda with 1 part of 1% to 3% hydrogen peroxide to form a paste. Brush your teeth with the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes, then rinse with water.  Make sure you use hydrogen peroxide with a concentration of 3% or less. Brush with hydrogen peroxide and baking soda once a week at most. Stop brushing and rinse your mouth with cool water if you feel a burning sensation. Don’t use this method if you have receding or sensitive gums, as hydrogen peroxide can cause irritation and damage exposed roots. Squeeze your regular toothpaste onto your toothbrush, then sprinkle a pinch of baking soda on top. Brush your teeth as you normally would for 2 minutes with soft, circular motions. Then spit and, if you need to rinse away white residue, swish your mouth with a little water.  As with a baking soda and water paste, brush with baking soda and toothpaste in moderation. Try it every other day for 1 to 2 weeks at first, then brush with baking soda once or twice a week at most. You can also purchase a toothpaste that already contains baking soda. In the United States, look for a product that carries the ADA (American Dental Association) Seal of Acceptance, and use it as directed.  If you have sensitive teeth or dental erosion, avoid using toothpastes that contain baking soda or are branded as whitening products. Combine 1 teaspoon (6 g) of baking soda and 1 cup (240 mL) of water in a glass, then stir the mixture until the baking soda is evenly distributed. Take a sip, gargle for about 30 seconds, then spit out the mixture. Repeat the steps until you’ve finished the entire glass.  The baking soda rinse won't erode your teeth, so it's safe to gargle with it daily. Gargling with a baking soda rinse whitens your teeth indirectly. Baking soda neutralizes acids, so it helps fight dental erosion caused by acidic foods and beverages. It can also help fight bacteria that cause decay and promote good bacteria that create a...

Determining the latitude with the sun can only be done when it is at its highest point. Check your watch or you may use the method of creating a quadrant and placing a stick in the ground, at the very southern end of a north-south line. It’s noon as soon as the shadow of the stick crosses the north-south line. Use a plumb line to ensure that the stick is vertical. A plumb line is exactly as it sounds: a line with any type of plumb attached to it. Gravity will ensure that the plumb creates a vertical line. You may only set up your measurements knowing north and south. Mark north and south with a line running along the ground. Set up a quadrant with its aiming beam parallel to this line. The aiming beam -- or hands of the cross -- should be centered on the support beam-- or body of the cross -- so that it can pivot up and down. There should be 4 nails at the hands of the cross, each only pounded far enough to keep it stable. There should be 2 nails at either end of the face of the cross and 2 nails at either end of the top of the hands of the cross. Center a protractor at the pivot point. Suspend the plumb line also from this pivot point. Once noon, line up the nails on the aiming beam with the sun. Do not look directly at the sun but rather use the shadows of the nails to find the correct position. Move the aiming beam up and down so that the two shadows from the nails move closer together and create a single shadow on the ground. Once the beam is aimed correctly, use the protractor to measure from the vertical plumb line to the portion of the aiming beam closest to it. Keep the horizon at 90 degrees  as you make your measurements. Your reading will only be correct in both the spring and autumn equinoxes that fall on March and September 21 respectively. If you are taking measurements around December 21, or midwinter, subtract 23.45 degrees from your reading. In contrast, add 23.45 degrees if you are taking measurements around midsummer, June 21.  The measurements are not completely accurate, other than spring...

TL;DR in English: Make sure that it is noon. Use a compass to establish north and south. Create a quadrant, or cross, using two pieces of wood. Align the sighting nails of the quadrant with the sun. Use the protractor to measure the small angle between the beam and the plumb line. Understand that the time of year plays into the accuracy of your reading.

There isn’t a specific number of images a portfolio should include and opinions about this tend to vary. However, most professionals agree that less is more. Twenty images should be the maximum; closer to ten is preferable.  Remember, each of these shots should strongly represent your skill level. The execution of each shot should be close to perfect and there should be no visible flaws in any of them. Examine your set closely. Think about any steps you need to take to perfect your chosen images. Perhaps you need to tweak a negative for a better print or crop something slightly differently. Complete the computer or darkroom work necessary to finalize your series of photos. As you tweak the images, don't forget that a consistent theme should be apparent and the series of images should fit together in a cohesive way. Don't change the images so much that you lose cohesiveness. There is no “right” way to order your images. However, the first image in your portfolio should be one of the strongest. You want the first photo to make a clear statement. It also needs to create enough interest to make the viewer want to continue looking through the series. Arrange the rest so that the colors, tones and moods compliment and play off one another.  It might help to think about arranging them in a way that tells a coherent story or evokes a particular mood. The final image should appropriately sum up the rest of the series. Avoid crowding the “best” images at the front and then padding the end out with weaker images. There should be no weak images in the group. Your portfolio is more than just a handful of great photos. The way you present them is extremely important. A bound book of selected works is the most traditional option. The book you arrange them in should represent the contents inside. Choose techniques, borders and backing sheet colors that enhance the collection. Make your prints on good paper.  Be consistent and choose either matte or glossy – do not include a combination. Package everything as attractively and...

TL;DR in English: Settle on ten to twenty final images. Tweak your final images if necessary. Organize the images into a particular sequence. Use high quality materials. Put the photos into your portfolio. Add the finishing touches. Consider an online portfolio.

Notify them of anyone doing anything dangerous, improper or illegal. If they aren't allowed you should use common sense and discretion before attempting to take photographs.  They may ask you to stop, confiscate your property or detain you for a portion of the show. You may be able to plead ignorance once but don't abuse the warning. Apologize, put your camera away and don't let them see it again. Most security or staff would prefer to warn you than throw you out but don't push your luck by ignoring the warning. Video is usually more frowned upon than pictures and bring about swifter actions by the staff. Photos taken with camera phones are still photos. They may confiscate your phone. If you are able to get it back that night, it may be damaged, missing the sim card, in a box with 20 other phones that look just like yours and not available until an hour or more after the show. Many people enjoy them, it gives you more bang for your money and it is a great way to see up and coming artists. Although sometimes these are smaller bands they are usually a style of music which compliments the headliner.  If you are not interested, now would be a good time to locate your friends. Buying early gives you the best selection of band merchandise for sale. If you get dehydrated, you are likely to faint or feel dizzy. Drink water now and then. Keep a water bottle with you if you need it. Merchandise tables, beer and wine sales, concession stands often close before the show ends. Don't assume you will get it on the way out. It may not be available. Plan to arrive early to buy merchandise, especially if a coat check or cloak room is offered. If you buy a t-shirt place it inside a jacket pocket to save having to pay for two cloakroom passes. Many people leave early or before the final encore and the house lights go up. Feel free to stay and enjoy the show. You may even be able to slip into a now vacant seat for the finale. You came to the concert to have fun, so be sure to enjoy the music. Make sure that you take lots of...

TL;DR in English: Observe the instructions of security and staff at the venue. Take pictures if cameras are allowed. Determine if there is an opening act. Arrive early and purchase a beverage, snacks or band merchandise from the merchandise tables. Stay hydrated. Get your gear in time. Enjoy the show.

This may sound obvious, but if you really want to get those ollies higher, then you have to keep practicing. But you can't just practice any old technique, or you'll just be repeating the same mistakes again. If you do master the footwork, jumping higher, sucking your feet and board up, and all of the other techniques we've discussed, then continuing to practice definitely will make perfect. Though some people like to practice their ollies first without any speed, you can try rolling to gather a bit more momentum to help you jump higher in the air. It's hard to jump high if you're generating all of the height from your own body without any speed to help you along. So, once you've got the ollie down flat, you can try moving, or even going a bit faster, to help yourself get the momentum you need to jump higher. A lot of people do start their ollies with some speed already, so if this is you, you can just try to go a bit faster as you practice more and more, especially if you're going over objects. Start small, working on doing an ollie over a garden hose, and then work your way up to doing an ollie over a shoebox, or another object that can be easily toppled without hurting you. Once you master this, you can try two shoeboxes or another higher object. Just making visual contact with an object before you jump over it can motivate you to jump higher than if you have nothing to clear. Having this goal set out for yourself can definitely help you get those ollies higher. If you have an old board that isn't in the greatest condition, then you won't be maximizing your ollie potential. A fresh board with some fresh grip tape can help you keep your feet planted on the board, and can also help you suck the board up with you when you jump up, so if you really want to ollie higher, you may consider getting a fresh board.

TL;DR in English: Keep practicing. Pick up more speed. Practice jumping over objects. Get a fresh board.

You will want to release them to a natural environment.   Turtles are wild animals. They will fare better in their own natural environment than in a home or outdoor aquarium. Release turtles by a wild pond or creek. This is their natural habitat. If you can't release the turtles right away, you will need a proper enclosure with enough water, light, shade, and food. Wild freshwater turtles generally do well outdoors or in a large indoor enclosure.   Avoid keeping them in glass aquariums. They tend to be too small. Try a rubbermaid tub with opaque sides. Turtles in glass or see-through containers will obsessively try to climb through or become afraid by activity in the room. Seriously consider on outdoor trap with adequate sun, shade, water, and weeds. A small pond (either natural or homemade in a tub) is best. This acts as a comfortable cushioning for the turtle.   A mixture of potting soil, sand, leaf mulch, and sphagnum moss is recommended. Keep this misted everyday to hold humidity. Turtles need a moist, humid environment. Turtles will burrow or nest into the substrate. This makes them feel comfortable. Make the substrate deep enough that the turtle can completely bury itself. Put some flat rocks in the enclosure. This will allow the turtles to sun themselves. Make sure you keep the terrarium or enclosure misted daily. It is very important to keep the turtles habitat very moist or they can develop respiratory problems. Make sure the water is warm so that the turtle does not become disabled if it falls into the water.  A shallow pool in a plastic tub will suffice for a pond. Turtles will swim for an hour or more a day. Turtles tend to defecate in their water so it is very important that this is changed everyday. Outdoor enclosures will need to be heated if the temperature drops below 60 degrees.  A ceramic heater will help to keep a colder enclosure warm enough for the turtles. All enclosures should provide a cool area and warm area. In hotter climates, make sure that the turtles have an area where there is...

TL;DR in English: Avoid keeping wild turtles in captivity for too long. Keep the turtles in a proper enclosure. Make sure your enclosure has enough substrate or soil bedding. Give the turtles a pond or pool to swim in. Make sure the enclosure has controlled temperature and light. Feed the turtle a variety of foods.

Supportive shoes are especially important when you are doing an activity that causes your foot to strike against the ground, such as walking or running. Look for thick-soled shoes that provide a stable base. The shoes should fit well and offer arch support.  It’s best to shop when your feet are sore and puffy, such as at the end of a long workday. This ensures that your shoes won't be too tight. If you can, get your gait analyzed at a running store or your podiatrist’s office. This can help you find the best shoes for you. Orthotic inserts, which don’t require a prescription, are made support your arches and lessen the impact of walking or exercise. They can also prevent injury. You should also use arch inserts and wraps to give extra support to your feet, especially if your shoes don’t have built-in arch support.  You may need to trim some inserts to fit your shoes. If you only buy 1 pair, you’ll need to switch them between pairs of shoes, unless you always wear the same shoes. You may not need inserts for athletic shoes that have good arch support and firm mid-soles. You can find generic orthotics over-the-counter at most department and athletic stores. You can also buy them online. if you are overweight. Carrying extra weight puts a lot of pressure on your feet, especially your arches. This increases your risk for over-pronation. Keep your weight within a healthy weight range for your height to limit your risk.  Eat a healthy, balanced diet and exercise for at least 30 minutes a day.
