Get the rollers ready. Spray your hair with gentle hold hairspray. Divide your hair into 4 or more sections. Roll the top and back center sections. Work on rolling the side sections. Spray your hair and let the curls set. Remove the rollers.

Pick a number of songs that cover a wide expanse of notes from low to high. Then, spend some time daily mimicking these songs by humming to them. As you hum, concentrate on feeling the vibrations in your face as you go into the lower notes.  Place your hand gently against your face or throat to concentrate on actually feeling the vibrations. If you don’t feel any vibrations, keep practicing. Intermixing humming with singing might help, too. Many people speak with chest voice instead of head voice. To get the notes into the low range, start by speaking the words in your lower register. This can put your vocal chords in the right position. After saying the words, sing the same words. Your vocal chords should be at the correct spot to sing in the lower register. As soon as you start to dip into a low note, pull the mic closer to your lips. This will help to create a deep, amplified sound. When you head into a high note, move the mic away from your mouth to get a clear sound. The mic should not be touching your lips or you’ll potentially end up with sputtering noises. For some people, it helps to curl your lips upwards just a bit when singing low notes. This lip placement can encourage you to open your mouth and throat up more, which can create a deeper sound. Experiment with exactly how much to smile. If you do too much, it can weaken your tone and be hard to hold intact. Similarly, lifting your eyebrows may improve your sound as well, but that’s not as certain.

TL;DR in English: Practice humming for 15 minutes each day. Try speaking out the lyrics or notes. Move the mic closer to your mouth. Move into a slight smile.

In the French language, the “e” sound is more open with the tongue low. To produce a convincing French accent, stretch your "e" sound to make it as long as possible. For example, "recorder" can sound completely transformed as "rgreh-caw-der". ” When you say a short "i" sound, you turn it into something more like an "ee". For example, "fish" will sound more like "feesh," but do not make it any longer than you would "fish.” Typically, the “i” is shorter in length than it is in English. Keep your production of this vowel short and precise. A helpful hint is to remember to smile when you produce “i” in words. This helps you to pull your lips apart to say the long “ee” sound. To make your French accent more convincing, say the “u” sound with the lips out and rounded. Your lips should be a lot tighter than a normal English production of “u.” You’ll want to practice by puckering your lips and keeping them rounded while you product the “ee” sound. This is the French “u.”  For example, the word “you” with a French accent might sound slightly more like “yee.” But don’t exaggerate that “ee” sound too much, because your lips should still be rounded. When you are pronouncing words with “u,” make sure it is very short. The French “u” is not a long vowel sound. In French, vowels are typically pure and short. This means that French speakers do not need to move their tongue around when talking as much as English speakers do. When you’re pronouncing vowels, keep your tongue down near the bottom front teeth. Let your lips, jaw, and nose do most of the work.

TL;DR in English: Produce “e” sounds with the tongue lower in the mouth. Pronounce “i” like the “ee” in “see. Say “u” with your lips puckered tightly. Reduce tongue movement and focus more on lip placement.

Although you should avoid being overly talkative, initiate conversations with your crush to show that you're interested in their life. Come up with interesting subjects that engage the both of you. Be sure that you give them a chance to express their opinion. Don't hesitate to ask questions about their life, as most people enjoy talking about themselves.  Ask things like, “How did you do on the biology test?” ”What shows are you watching right now?” ”What do you think about the new teacher?” Try not to be offended if you get short answers or they don’t seem that interested in talking to you. They might be shy or having a bad day. It can be easy to want to talk about your day or what you are thinking about, but make sure you pause long enough so that your crush can contribute to the conversation as well. If you ask a question, take a short pause to let them speak. Or, if you are done talking, pause for a few seconds in case they have a topic that they want to bring up. If your crush is shy, they might have a hard time talking back to you. Try to be understanding, and don’t take it personally. Although you shouldn't overdo it, treat your crush with kindness. If they don’t have food to eat for lunch, offer to share your food with them. If they tell you about something bad that happened to them, sympathize and listen to what they say. Show that you care about them and their well-being. Some playful meanness is a good flirting technique, but your overall interactions should be kind so that they don’t get the wrong idea. Although you shouldn't stay in the spotlight for too long, it's a good idea to share some facts about your life with your crush so that they can get to know you more. Tell them things about you, like your hobbies and your favorite class, that will let them know more about you as a person. You may even discover common interests, which may open the way for more conversations.  Say things like, “I love going swimming at the community center.” ”What did you think of last year’s English class? That one...

TL;DR in English: Ask them open-ended questions to keep your conversation interesting. Give your crush a chance to respond during conversations. Be kind to your crush so they want to spend time with you. Tell your crush about yourself. Tell the truth about your interests so you don’t seem clingy. Give your crush space if they need it. Limit the amount of compliments you give your crush. Avoid excessively touching your crush.

If you do not have one, you can ask your mom whether you may go over to your buddies house (that is in your class) and maybe play a studying game, but be sure to get the needed studying done. Everyone learns differently, and for some, talking out loud helps cement ideas into your head. Discuss sample test questions or homework problems with each other. Take turns asking each other questions, or quizzing each other on vocab words. Set the timer and see who can finish filling in their worksheet/writing their notes the fastest. The slowest person loses. However, this method might not be the best method as it isn't always fair - some people would rather take their time. For example the first person to leave without finishing their assignment isn't allowed to go to the upcoming school formal. Pretend you're a character from TV or Broadway etc - or make up your own character. Physically turn your notes into a script and memorize your 'lines' by talking it out loud, over and over again. Then when you memorize the entire script, talk out loud as you would if you were your chosen character. You could even use funny accents if you like, you could even sing it Broadway-style. If you're really confident, you can perform the skit in front of friends, teachers, parents etc...and make them laugh! It helps if you are a tactile learner (you learn by touching) or a verbal learner (you learn by talking). It seems a bit crazy at first but when you think about it, it actually works, especially if you do it with a friend. By looking at it this way, it doesn't seem like boring study at all! Do something fun, such as watch TV or play video games or a board game.

TL;DR in English: If you have an older sibling at home, you can study together so you have company. Talk out loud. Quiz each other. Race against each other. Invent crazy punishments to motivate you and your friends if you just can't be bothered studying. You can create a scenario and make a short play or skit with a friend. Study in the same place quietly, and take a break every half hour or hour.

Talk to your boyfriend well before the meeting and ask what his parents like and don't like. He should also be able to tell you some favorite subjects you can talk about and topics to steer clear of.  Things you might want to find out: Where are his parents from? What kind of work do they do? What do they like to do in their spare time? Make sure you find out conversation topics to avoid in order to prevent a foot-in-mouth moment. For example, you might not want to talk about the expensive cruise your family just went on when your boyfriend’s parents are having money problems. attentively to everyone who speaks to you. Make eye contact and use body language, such as nodding and leaning toward the speaker, to indicate you are interested in what they are saying. Most people love to talk about themselves. Try to get his parents talking by asking about their lives, or to tell you more about their children. Ask them to share a funny story about your boyfriend as a child. Ask open-ended questions. Questions that require more than a yes or no answer are ways to continue the conversation. Try saying, “Tell me more about that” or “What was that like?” If you need to correct his parents on something, be respectful and polite. Don’t act like a know-it-all, and do not engage in an argument.  You could say, “I’ve also heard this perspective…” or “You know, I just read about this! The article said.....” which can help take the heat off you while gently offering another perspective. Do not say things like, “You’re wrong,” or “How can you even think that?” Don’t act like a know-it-all. People do not like lectures, they prefer conversations. Make sure you are allowing others to share their opinions, even if you are an expert on a subject. It is easier to talk to people you don’t know well when you have some common ground. See if his parents share any of the same interests as yours, and start a conversation about that.  For example, say you and his father are baseball fans. Ask which teams he supports, if he’s been to any...

TL;DR in English: Get some background information. Listen Ask questions. Stay out of arguments. Find things in common. Talk about yourself. Be yourself.

Go ahead and plug in the hot rollers so that they're fully heated by the time you're ready to put them in your hair. If this is your first time using your set of rollers, read the manufacturer's instructions to make sure you use the equipment properly. Keep in mind that a hot roller set usually comes with a few different sizes of rollers and you will need to use all of them to cover your head. If you want to use only 1 size of rollers, then you may need to buy multiple mixed sets to have enough. Start with completely dry hair, since your hair won't hold curls if you use this method with wet hair. Spray your hair all over with hairspray, which will help define your curls as the hot rollers go to work. It is also important for your hair to be dry since wet hair can steam and this may result in a burn on your scalp. Use a comb to separate your hair out into 4 even sections. You should have 1 on top of your head, 1 on the back center of your head, and 1 on each side of your head. Use a clip to secure each of these sections until you are ready to put in the hot rollers. If you have very thick hair, then you may need to divide your hair into 6 or even 8 sections for hot rolling. Starting in the front, lift up a section of hair that is no wider than the roller. If you have long hair, then you may need to grab a smaller section to ensure that the rolled hair will not be too thick on the roller. Wrap the end of it around the first roller, moving up towards the roots. Roll your hair back towards the crown of your head so that the front of your hair pulls away from your forehead and over the roller. Secure the roller in place with a roller pin of the appropriate size. Continue rolling your hair until you've rolled the entire middle section of hair.  Roll your hair in different directions if you don't want uniform curls. Roll some sections of hair forward and some sections of hair backward. This will result in curls that look more natural. For small, tight curls, be sure to use the smaller rollers in your set. Use medium...

Insert your pliers into the pump or hose. Then, latch the end of the pliers onto the item clogging your drain. Slowly begin to tug the item out of the pump or hose.  Go slowly so that you don't break up the clog or damage the pump. It’s possible that a clog inside your pump is wrapped around the spinning mechanism inside the pump. It’s usually easier to remove a clog from the hose. It should slide out easily if you just pull. Feel below your machine to find a small pulley that’s directly below the pump. This pulley will turn the spinning mechanism inside the pump. As you pull a clog out of the pump, turn the pulley counterclockwise to help unwind the clog.  Turning the pulley will help you avoid damaging the pump. If turning your pump counterclockwise isn’t helping, try turning it clockwise instead. Detach the pipe and hold 1 end while you place the other in a bucket. Insert the end of the plumber’s snake into the hose. Ease it deeper into the pipe until you reach the clog. Then, use your hands to manually turn the snake as you push it through the clog. You should see the clog drop into the bucket. After you remove the clog, water that was stuck in the pipe may pour out into the bucket. Slide the hose back over the opening on your pump, then secure it in place. Check to make sure that it isn’t loose. Otherwise, the hose may leak while the machine is on. Make sure that you haven’t created any kinks in the hose while you were working on it. If there are kinks, it could prevent your washer from draining. Test out your machine before you put the panel back on it. First, lower your machine back onto the floor if you lifted it. Next, put the power cord back into the socket. Then, set your washer on the rinse cycle and turn it on. Let the washer run through a rinse and spin cycle to see if it drains. If it’s still not draining, it’s possible there’s a clog you can’t get to or that the pump is damaged. It’s best to get a plumber or handyman to look at it. Unplug the machine again before you replace the panel. Then,...

TL;DR in English: Grasp a visible clog with needle-nose pliers to pull it out. Find the pulley under the pump and twist it to help unwind the clog. Use a plumber’s snake to remove a clog from a hose. Reconnect your hose to the pump after you’ve removed the clog. Plug up your machine and see if it works. Replace your access panel if your machine is fixed.

This kind of cream works by preventing melanin from being produced in the skin. It's one of the most popular lightening treatments. However, if the concentration is too high or if it's used for too long, it could worsen the discoloration or reverse the effects. It can also be toxic to the liver. Some alternative, fading creams that are known to have less side effects are azelaic acid, kojic acid and one containing only 2 percent hydroquinone. All of these are known to help with persistent or residual skin discoloration problems. They work by preventing keratin, a hair protein, from being produced in the skin. This is a mix formulated by the medical professional doing the treatment. Due to the concentration of bleach, dermatologists and medical doctors are the only ones allowed to administer it. If the darkening is caused by waxing, shaving, and/or you can see dark hair stubble as it's growing back, then laser hair removal may be a good solution for you. Though it's considered semi-permanent, the hair usually doesn't come back. However, you have to make sure to complete the recommended number of treatments and the ongoing, but infrequent, touch-ups.

TL;DR in English: Ask the doctor about using a skin bleaching cream containing hydroquinone. Talk to your dermatologist about a milder skin bleaching treatment. Find out from your doctor if you're a good candidate for using a bleaching agent, such as chlorine, to lighten the areas. Opt for laser hair removal.

”  As mentioned, there is no requirement to hold your Grand Opening on your first day of business, and it is often advisable to wait even a couple of weeks before staging it. Schedule your Grand Opening for a day and time that suits your product or service — a Saturday morning for a diner; a Friday evening for an ice cream parlor; early evening for a martial arts studio. Work hard to build excitement in the days and even weeks leading up to your Grand Opening.  Use the term “Grand Opening” in your marketing — it makes it seem more special than just an “open for business” notice.  Create excitement by offering prizes, giveaways, demonstrations, special deals, etc., for visitors that day.  Hire a photographer to capture the event for media (traditional or social) consumption.  Bring in live entertainment, extra staffing, even security if you expect an especially large crowd.  If your business and/or its location aren’t conducive to a large public Grand Opening, consider having an event more along the lines of a “launch party” at a nearby restaurant, banquet hall, etc. Plan ahead and do whatever you can to ensure that attendees walk away from your Grand Opening with a positive first impression of your new business.  Oversights as simple as inadequate parking, long food lines, or running out of paper products in the restrooms can sour an otherwise enthusiastic reception.  Have extra staff on hand to make sure customers don’t have to wait too long for service or attention. If parking may be an issue, try to work out arrangements beforehand with other businesses or community groups — perhaps setting up satellite parking at a nearby church, for instance. Send attendees home with a token of your appreciation — ideally something with your logo on it — along with a coupon / special deal for a return visit. Establish your connection to the local community from the very start of your business.  Let people envision your business having a positive community impact for years to come.  Invite the local press to your event,...

TL;DR in English: Consider when to make your opening “grand. Make it an event. Guarantee a positive customer experience. Involve the community.

Use a fabric measuring tape to measure your waist. Then add one inch to this measurement. The total will be the length of your elastic.  For example, if your waist measurement is 28, then you will need to have 29 inches of elastic. If you are making the dress for a child, try to use a two-inch (5.08) wide elastic. If you are making the dress for an adult, try to use a three-inch (7.62) wide elastic. Black is the most popular color, but a white elastic might look cute against a black skirt. Use a ½ inch (1.27 centimeter) seam, and knot the ends of the thread. Snip off any excess thread when you are done sewing. Turn the elastic so that the seam is facing you. Use your iron to press the two edges down. They should be facing away from each other, and rest flat against the elastic. Topstitch them down.  Be sure to knot the ends of the thread, and to snip any excess off. This will help prevent the elastic from fraying. It will also give you a nice, clean finish on the inside. A sewing machine will give you the cleanest finish, but you can also use fabric glue to tack the two edges down instead. The seam of the elastic should be on the inside. The waist/top hem of the skirt and the bottom edge of the elastic should be overlapping by ¼ inch (0.64 centimeters). Keep in mind that you will not be flipping the skirt inside out. You want to have the entire waistband visible when you are done sewing. Make sure that you stretch the elastic as you sew to ensure that it will be evenly sewn onto the felt. This will allow your waistband to stretch better. Keep sewing until you get to the end of the elastic. When you are done sewing, you should have a sleek waistband for your skirt. Your poodle skirt is now ready to wear!

Sketch a trapezoid with the following measurements: left side of height b, right side of height a, and base of length a+b. Simply connect the tops of the left and right sides to complete the trapezoid. Divide the base of the triangle into lengths a and b so that two right triangles of lengths a, b, and c is formed. The third triangle will have two sides of length c and a hypotenuse of length d. The two smaller triangles are congruent (identical). The area of a trapezoid is: A = ½(b1 + b2)h where b1 is one straight side of the trapezoid, b2 is the other straight side of the trapezoid, and h is the height of the trapezoid. For this trapezoid: b1 is a, b2 is b, and h is a+b.  The area of this trapezoid is A = ½(a +b)(a+b) .  Expanding the binomial yields: A = ½(a2 + 2ab + b2). The area of a right triangle is: A = ½bh where b is the base of the triangle and h is the height. This trapezoid has been broken into three different triangles; therefore, the areas need to be added together. First, find the area of each one and then add all three together.  Because two of the triangles are identical, you can simply multiply the area of the first triangle by two: 2A1 = 2(½bh) = 2(½ab) = ab. The area of the third triangle is A2 = ½bh = ½c*c = ½c2. The total area of the trapezoid is A1 + A2 = ab + ½c2. Because both of these calculations are equal to the total area of the trapezoid, you can set them equal to each other. Once they’re set equal to each other, you can reduce the equation to its simplest form.   ½(a2 + 2ab + b2) = ab + ½c2. Multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the ½: (a2 + 2ab + b2) = 2ab + c2. Subtract out the 2ab: a2 + b2 = c2. You’re left with the proof: a2 + b2 = c2.

TL;DR in English: Draw a trapezoid with base a+b and sides a and b. Divide the trapezoid into three right triangles, two of which are congruent. Calculate the area of the trapezoid using the area formula. Find the area by summing the areas of the three triangles. Set the different area calculations equal to each other.

Having a fear of hospitals is a very common phobia. There are many reasons that people might be scared to enter these buildings. For example, some people are afraid of blood. Others might fear being separated from friends and family during a procedure.  Reflect on what it is that you actually fear. Are you nervous about procedures that can cause pain? Do you have a fear about not waking up from surgery? Figuring out what you are scared of is the first step in finding ways to cope. Identify your particular fear and acknowledge it. Admit your fear to yourself. Try saying, "Hospitals make me anxious because I worry about being around sick people." There is a difference between getting nervous around hospitals and having a phobia. Having a phobia can be as debilitating as any physical ailment. Pay attention to your symptoms so that you can figure out whether what you are coping with is nerves or a more serious disorder.  Generally, people with phobias will experience physical symptoms when having an attack. That means that when you are near or in a hospital, your body will react in a certain ways. Phobias cause different reactions in everyone. Some common symptoms are heart palpitations, chest pains, and dizziness. You might also experience nausea or difficulty breathing. Feeling weak and having "fuzzy" vision are also common symptoms. Many people who have a phobic condition have to cope with panic attacks. A panic attack can cause frightening emotions and physical reactions. Understanding panic attacks can help you cope with your fear or phobia.  A panic attack makes it very difficult to think rationally. During an attack, it can be difficult to separate reality from things that are not actually happening. For example, a panic attack might cause someone to feel like they are having a heart attack. It can also cause you to lose control of your emotions. If you have experienced a panic attack, it is a good idea to consult a medical professional. This may indicate that you are dealing with a phobic condition rather...

Seeing your crush with another guy is not a good feeling, especially if you had no idea she was with someone else already. You thought you had a chance with her and suddenly you realize that you don’t. Your first instinct might be to panic or even get angry. Getting upset is a normal reaction. You might find yourself breathing very fast or holding your breath when this happens. This can make your anxiety a lot worse, unfortunately.  Take a moment to focus on your breathing.  Breathe slowly and deeply. If it helps, close your eyes for a moment. Inhale while counting to five, then exhale while counting to five. The more you look at her with someone else, the more it will hurt. It’s going to be hard, but force yourself to look away. If you don’t, you might start getting visibly upset, which will make you feel even worse. If you're staring, she might notice and get uncomfortable. Her boyfriend might also notice and get angry. You'll feel better if you focus on something else.  Pull out a book or your class notes and focus on reading. Even if you’re too upset to read, do what you can to keep your eyes on the page. If you’re not in class, pull out your phone and text a friend or play a game. This isn’t always going to be an option, but if you can, get up and leave the room. Try to do this as calmly and naturally as you can. Keep your pace normal as you head for the door. Find a quiet place where you can have a moment of privacy. Your thoughts will probably feel really negative at first. You might feel angry at yourself, or not good enough. This is normal.  For every negative thought you have, try to immediately follow it up with a positive one. For instance, you might think, “He is way more popular than me and better at sports, too. Of course she likes him over me.” Try to counter this with a positive thought right away. You could think, “But I’m popular, too. I have lots of friends. Maybe I’m not good at sports but I’m good at other things.” One of the best ways to cope with this situation is to immediately track...

Make a list of all of your best qualities. Maybe you’re good at sticking up for your friends, or you really light up when you talk about something you care about, or you’re a good listener, or you make people laugh. There are many different ways to be attractive. If you’re having trouble thinking of positive things about yourself, ask your friends or family. You can tell your friend what you value most about them, and then ask them what they value about you. The key to feeling confident about yourself isn’t thinking that you’re great at absolutely everything. Instead, remind yourself about the things that you’re good at and accept what you’re not good at. Natural self-confidence and self-love are magnetic.  For example, say to yourself: “I know that I have a hard time in school, but nobody’s perfect. What I’m really good at is being a loyal friend, and that’s a wonderful thing.” Or: “I know that I have trouble with my temper, but I’m always honest and I work hard, and that’s really special.” If you struggle a lot with feelings of self worth, consider talking to a therapist. Every day, take a shower, wear deodorant, and put on clothes you like. You’ll look your best and feel your best if you put in attention to smelling clean and looking well-groomed. If you look like you take good care of yourself, you'll be much more attractive. You’ll look like much more of a catch if you go out and do the things you love. Working on your hobbies is not only personally fulfilling, but it makes you a much more interesting dating-prospect, and you’ll have things to talk about with your crush. Developing your own hobbies can remind you of your own self-worth and boost your confidence. Aim to exercise for about 30 minutes a day. Exercising boosts your physical and mental health, and can make you feel more confident in your body. It also gives you a bunch of endorphins that make you feel happy. There’s no need to be super buff to impress a girl, but working out a reasonable amount shows that you take care of yourself, and makes...

TL;DR in English: Brainstorm your best qualities to remind yourself of your worth. Use positive self talk to embrace your talents and accept your flaws. Groom yourself well to boost your confidence. Devote time to your interests and hobbies. Get into a fitness routine to boost your confidence. Try to see her as an equal instead of putting her on a pedestal.

It should slide right into the end of the air pump. Lock the needle in with the locking mechanism of the pump. Put the needle tip into the opening of the soccer ball valve. The ball will start to inflate. Go slowly so you don't over-inflate the ball and put unnecessary pressure on the seams. If your air pump has a built in gauge, just stop once the level on the gauge reaches the recommended air pressure. If your pump doesn't have a gauge, you'll have to pull out the needle and check the pressure with the gauge regularly once it starts to feel firm.

If you're unsure which hair loss scale to use to measure your baldness, you can try using an online tool. Many websites have hair loss calculators that help you diagnose your level of baldness.  Usually, the tools will allow you to put in basic information such as your age and whether or not baldness runs in your family.  The tool will also allow you to select your level of baldness, based on visual aids provided as well as multiple choice questions.  The tool will give you a level of baldness and suggest treatment options. However, you should never undergo any hair loss treatment without first consulting your regular physician. A doctor can advise you on the best ways to measure your hair loss if standard scales do not work for you. Your doctor will probably go over non-invasive measures first.  Your doctor might have you take a daily questionnaire, where you choose answers from a series of multiple choice questions regarding your level of hair loss. While questionnaires are easy and non-invasive, they are highly subjective and may not provide you with an accurate measure of hair loss.  Daily hair counts involve collecting strands of hair in a bag and counting them at the end of the day. Most people lose about 100 strands of hair a day and if you're losing more you may be at risk for baldness.  In a standardized wash test, you refrain from shampooing your hair for five days and then shampoo and rinse your hair in a basin with the hole covered by gauze. You will collect the hairs and send them to your doctor for evaluation.  Global photography involves photographing hair with special equipment at a doctor's office, equipped with lighting and magnification to assess hair loss. This is a more precise level of evaluating hair loss than other non-invasive measures. If your doctor think you're at a high risk for hair loss, she might recommend trying invasive or semi-invasive procedures to evaluate hair loss.  A hair pluck test, known medically as a trichogram, involves taking hairs from specific parts of the scalp...

Moisten the sponge with water. Squeeze the sponge to remove the excess water. Rehydrate the Beauty Blender as necessary.

You can get a quick bearing if something is right or wrong by asking: "How would that make me feel?"  Treating others as you would like to be treated is the golden rule of humanity. It is shared by religions, philosophers, humanists and atheists alike and has been expressed by every culture in history:  Buddhism: “Treat not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.” Hinduism: “Do not do to others what would cause pain to you.” Ancient Greece (Aristotle): “Conduct ourselves towards others as we would have them act toward us.”   Applying this rule triggers your conscience to consider if you could be more helpful, listen to others and treat people with more respect. Read up on ways that you can live the golden rule. Focus on how they treat others and if their words (what they say) and actions (what they do) match up to one another. This will sharpen up your knowledge of right and wrong and provide positive and negative role models to learn from.   Some positive role models might be people who always keep their word, go out of their way to help, stand up for what is right, or are patient and kind. Some negative role models might be people who lie, are unkind to others, or feel no remorse or concern when they hurt or upset others. Be wary of people who show by their words or actions that they lack a conscience. They are termed sociopaths and can be manipulative and dangerous. If you know someone like this you can protect yourself by limiting your contact with them. You can learn how to spot a sociopath here: You can learn from famous examples such as Gandhi and also from daily news stories of ordinary people living in line with their conscience.  Gandhi famously called his conscience his “little voice within.” It enabled him to oppose injustice in the face of huge difficulty.  The Abolitionists are another example of how a strong moral conscience can create change and right injustice. They relied on their moral conscience to successfully end slavery.   Conscientious objectors oppose war due their...

TL;DR in English: Use reason as your conscience if you don’t feel an immediate gut reaction. Think about the values and behaviour of people you do and don’t respect. Educate yourself by reading about people who lived conscience-guided lives. Study some unexpected sources of inspiration.

Many men and women feel shame about their bodies, and some haven't seen every part of their bodies. In order to be sexually empowered, you have to see and love your body. To improve your body image, try looking at yourself naked in a mirror. Smile at yourself and give yourself compliments. Remind yourself of all of the wonderful things our body is capable of. The more you do this, the more comfortable it will become for you. It's completely natural to have sexual feelings and you should embrace that. If it wasn't for sex we wouldn't be here! If you feel any guilt or shame about your sexual desires, realize that there is no reason at all for anyone to make you feel that way.  Just because something is stigmatized by society, does not mean there is anything wrong with it. For example, many people, especially women, are taught that masturbation is wrong or sinful, which can cause them to become confused and hold negative feelings towards sex and their own bodies. The reality is that most women do masturbate and it is perfectly normal.  If you are having sexual desires that would involve harming others in any way, you should not embrace these. A therapist can help you understand where these desires are coming from and help you find more appropriate outlets for them. Individuals often face discrimination for failing to conform to gender stereotypes or for not being heterosexual. While it is certainly not an easy thing to do, fighting back against this discrimination and being proud of who you are is essential to becoming sexually empowered. Do not let others tell you what your role should be in a relationship or who you should be attracted to. These decisions are entirely up to you. Many cultures, religions, and individuals stigmatize people who do not conform to the norms of that community. If your community is unaccepting of you, you will face a lot of challenges in your journey to be sexually empowered. Eventually you will need to decide whether you will conform to the norms or ignore everyone who does not...

TL;DR in English: Learn to love and accept your body. Accept your sexual desires as normal. Own your gender identity and sexual orientation. Dismiss the critics.

Creative projects need funding to support the cost of various supplies, tools, instruments, and other production expenses. If you want to provide support on a broader level, consider donating to a national organization that supports the arts, such as the District of Columbia Commission on Arts and Humanities or the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies. Check an organization’s website to see how you can donate, or give money electronically through a federal site here: https://www.pay.gov/public/form/start/973840.  Donating any amount can help a federal arts organization, even if it doesn’t seem like it. If you’re pressed for cash, consider giving what you can, even if it's just $5 or $10.  You can also show your support by attending events in your community that involve the arts, like community theatre productions and art shows. When you financially support the arts, you are also helping make the economy stronger. In the United States, the nonprofit arts industry generates over $150 billion per year. Give money on a regular basis to support specific artists, musicians, and other creative individuals. Talent can only get a person so far, but funding and recognition can help content creators to make a living. Sites like Patreon and IndieSponsor allow you to financially support artists from all over the world by providing a monthly donation. Sponsorships are less like donations and more like an investment into the arts. Conduct a search online to see if there are any community theatres or local art centers near your location. Even if you can’t attend the shows or productions on a regular basis, you can usually donate online. Pledging money locally allows you to see your donation in action, which isn’t as feasible when you donate to a national organization. Many community groups let you sign up for an email newsletter. This can keep you up-to-date on what events are taking place near you. Donate to a street performer or artist to help support them financially. If you don’t have cash on your person, ask to see...

TL;DR in English: Donate money to national arts organizations to help on a big scale. Sponsor a content creator to help them get noticed. Pledge money to local art centers and theatres. Give money to local street musicians and artists. Purchase merchandise from artists.

Since COVID-19 is a respiratory infection, a cough, with or without mucus, is a common symptom. However, a cough could also be a symptom of allergies or a different respiratory infection, so try not to worry. Call your doctor if you think your cough might be caused by COVID-19.  Consider if you’ve been around someone who was sick. If so, you’re more likely to have contracted what they had. However, do your best to stay away from sick people. If you’re coughing, keep your distance from people who have decreased immune systems or have high risks for complications, such as those over 65-years-old, newborns, children, pregnant women, and those who are on immunosuppressants. Since fever is a common symptom of COVID-19, always check your temperature if you're worried you contracted the virus. A fever over 100.4 °F (38.0 °C) could be a sign that you have COVID-19 or another infection. If you have a fever, call your doctor to discuss your symptoms. If you have a fever, you’re likely contagious, so avoid contact with other people. COVID-19 can cause trouble breathing, which is always a serious symptom. Contact your doctor immediately or get emergency medical care if you’re having difficulty breathing. You may have a serious infection, such as COVID-19. You may need additional treatments for breathing problems, so always consult your doctor for shortness of breath. While COVID-19 is a respiratory infection, it doesn’t usually cause a sore throat or runny nose. Its most common symptoms are cough, fever, and shortness of breath. Other symptoms of a respiratory infection likely indicate that you have another illness, like the common cold or the flu. Call your doctor to be sure. It’s understandable that you’d be nervous about COVID-19 if you're feeling sick. However, you probably don’t need to worry if you’re having symptoms other than fever, cough, and shortness of breath.

TL;DR in English: Check for respiratory symptoms such as a cough. Take your temperature to see if you have a fever. Get medical care if you have breathing problems or shortness of breath. Recognize that a sore throat and runny nose may indicate a different infection.

Find an old pot to use as the body of the drum. A pot with a diameter of less than 12 inches works best. The balloon is going to be the head of the drum so it needs to be tight but large enough to fit around the top of the pot. If the balloon is too small, it might be too tight ad break when you drum.  A 24 inch balloon works best for pots 10 to 12 inches in diameter. A 16 inch balloon works best for pots under 10 inches in diameter.

TL;DR in English: Find a pot to use. Get the right size balloon.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make with a Beauty Blender is using the sponge dry to apply makeup and skincare products. Before using it, make sure to dampen it under the sink so it's thoroughly saturated. That will cause the sponge to expand, so it won't soak up as much of your cosmetic products.  You can use warm or cool water to dampen the Beauty Blender, but you may find your application more refreshing if you use cool water. If you don't have access to a sink when you're using your sponge, you can wet it with bottled water or even spritz it heavily with your favorite setting spray to dampen it. While you want your Beauty Blender to be damp when you use it, it shouldn't be dripping wet. Before applying your makeup or other products, gently squeeze the sponge to remove all of the excess water.  Beauty Blenders are fairly delicate, so don't wring the sponge to get the water out. You may end up tearing or ripping it. When you squeeze the sponge, it helps to wrap it in a clean towel or piece of paper towel. That will help absorb the excess water. If you're doing a full face of makeup, you may find that your sponge starts to dry while you're applying it. To ensure that you get flawless results from the first step of your makeup routine to the last, keep a spray bottle of water, setting spray or facial mist on hand so you can lightly dampen the sponge when necessary. Beauty Blender also makes a reactivation spray to moisten the sponge if it starts to become dry while you're using it.

If you are working on a fresh stain, you should try to absorb as much ink as possible. Before blotting the stain, place a white cloth or rag underneath the stained portion of the garment. This will prevent the stain from spreading to the back of the garment while you attempt to remove it. Use a white cloth to ensure that the color of the cloth doesn’t lift and further stain the garment you’re working on.

TL;DR in English: Place a cloth underneath the stain.

Do not recklessly attack Slade after mashing his mask off. He will be more dangerous than before, and he also won't let you attack him anymore. Any attempt to land a combo without countering will end up in a counter sequence beneficial to Slade only. Eventually, you will be able to land a few hits on him. Don't be too greedy with damaging Slade though. This battle is pretty long, and he isn't an easy opponent to beat, so it's better to conserve your HP. Once you've dealt enough damage, Slade will start using a gadget similar to the Batclaw. Once he fires it, it will attach to Batman's chest, and the other end will grab a canister of gas.  Use the counter button at the right time to send the canister flying at Slade. Quickly run up to Slade and attack him. If you fail to send the canister to Slade, he will start shooting at you with his gun, so try to send the canisters back as much as you can. When Slade’s HP reaches a certain low point, he'll once again throw a smoke pellet and attack you. This time, Batman will take Slade's staff and break it in half. In retaliation, Slade will now use his sword.

TL;DR in English: Be cautious. Wait for the opportunity to strike, and keep countering and blocking Slade's attacks. Prepare to counter again. Continue countering and landing small attacks on Slade until you get his HP down. Counter Slade's strikes and deliver a beat down once you're allowed to.

The size of the slices are up to you, but they should be sliced thin enough that they're ready to serve. You can slice up the entire ham, or you can do a bit at a time if you're not serving many people at once. The foil will help to keep any moisture released from the ham slices inside the dish, which helps prevent the ham from drying out. The foil should be wrapped around the sides of the dish to prevent any heat from escaping. in the oven. The oven should be set to 275 degrees Fahrenheit (135 degrees Celsius). How long you have to reheat it will depend on how much the ham weighs. You should leave the ham in the oven for 10 minutes for every pound (0.5 kg) it weighs. About halfway through your cooking time, remove the foil from a corner of the baking dish. The slices should still look mostly pink. If you notice them turning white, they're drying out. Add a few tablespoons of water to the dish and put the ham back in the oven.

TL;DR in English: Slice the ham into pieces. Place the ham slices in a shallow baking dish and cover with foil. Reheat the ham Check your ham to make sure it doesn't dry out.

If the weather permits it, take a romantic walk around the neighborhood or go to a local park, beach, or nature preserve. Taking a walk will give you the chance to enjoy each other’s company while enjoying the scenery. It also might work up your appetite for dinner! together. Head to the backyard or a local park with some type of ground covering, a laser pointer, and some geeky enthusiasm to look for constellations. You might even be able to watch a meteor shower.  If it’s cold, bring extra blankets and maybe a warm drink in a Thermos. If it’s warm, bring some lemonade and light snacks. Many towns and cities have an array of locally-sponsored cultural events. Many of these are free, to boost community spirit. Why not take advantage of them? Check local listings for ideas of fun things you can do, then plan your date around them.  Many museums have frequent free nights. Who cares about holding hands at the movies when you can hold hands in front of a T.rex? Parks often host free concerts and movie nights. You can find out together if you like bluegrass! Fireworks displays don’t happen very often, but they’re special when they do. Bring along the same supplies you would for stargazing (blanket, snacks, and warm clothing if necessary) and enjoy. Street fairs and festivals are a fixture in warm or moderate weather. You don’t have to buy anything--just walk around and enjoy. Readings and lectures are often offered by colleges or bookstores. What could be more romantic than learning together? Dinner and drinks together can get really pricey, but sometimes you want the enjoyment of going out to eat. Buying an indulgent dessert from your favorite restaurant feels celebratory, and it’s a great way to split the difference. If you both want to, you can even split a large dessert. Also, make sure to leave your server a nice tip--it adds to the romance,

TL;DR in English: Go on a long walk. Stargaze Check out cultural events in your town. Go out for dessert.

It will be difficult to create a romantic atmosphere in a dirty bathroom. To set up the most romantic evening possible, you'll need to make sure nothing in the bathroom is dirty or grimy. This includes not only the bathtub, but the rest of your bathroom as well. Mop or sweep the floor, wash out the bathtub, and clean all surfaces, including the sink. It’s not necessary to spend hours cleaning, but making the bathroom look presentable is important. The best time is when you know you will be uninterrupted. Unanticipated guests or interruptions can quickly ruin a romantic mood. Make sure roommates or children will be away so that you and your partner are able to relax without fear of being interrupted. If you live with other people, ask when they will be out to get a good idea for a date and time to plan the bath. You can bribe your roommates with a favor, like cleaning when it’s not your turn, in favor of some alone time with your partner at home. Make sure your partner will be available when you set up the bath. Nothing will dampen the mood like being informed that your partner is suddenly busy, or will be coming home much later than expected. Set up a time with your partner, and ask that they stick with it. You can secure up a time by sending out a cute, handwritten invitation that says something like: “You are invited to join me this evening for a romantic bubble bath.” If you want to keep it a surprise, you can tell your partner that you need them home to help you with something at a certain time.

TL;DR in English: Clean your bathroom. Choose a good time. Set up a solid plan.

Prepare the onions by trimming off the top and the bottom with a sharp knife. Next, remove the papery skin by peeling it off. Use the knife to chop the onions to the size that you prefer. Fill a large stockpot with water, and place it on the stove. Set the burner to high, and allow the water to come to a full boil, which should take approximately 10 to 20 minutes depending on how much water you’re using. The amount of water that you should boil depends on how many onions you’re blanching. For every pound (373 g), use 1 (3.8 l) gallon of water. Once the water has come to a boil, place the onions in the pot. Cover the pot, and allow the onions to cook for 3 to 7 minutes, depending on how many you’re blanching.  The more onions that you’re blanching, the longer you should leave them in the boiling water. With chopped onions, it’s easier to place them in a wire basket or perforated metal strainer and then set them in the boiling water. That way, you can quickly and easily remove them when they’re done. If you don’t have a basket or strainer, remove them from the boiling water with a slotted spoon. As soon as you remove the onions from the boiling water, place them in a bowl of ice or cold water. Let the onions sit in the cold water for the same amount of time that you boiled them to stop the cooking process.  The ice or cold water that you place the onions in after boiling shouldn’t be more than 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius). While the onions are in the cold water, stir them several times to ensure that they’re cooling evenly. When the onions have cooled long enough, drain them thoroughly in a colander. Shake well to remove the excess water, and blot with a clean towel. When they’re dry, transfer them to freezer bags and place them in the freezer. Be sure to label the freezer bag with the date so you can keep track of how long the onions are in your freezer.

Hydrangeas are rather unique garden plants because of their ability to change color according to the pH level of your soil. This means the color of hydrangeas in your garden will depend on how acid or alkaline the soil type is.  The scientific reason behind this is that different levels of aluminum become available to the plant depending on the soil's acidity level (also known as pH). Acidic soils have a high aluminum content, turning the flowers blue. An alkaline soil will produce pink blooms in hydrangeas; an acid soil will cause the same plant to bear blue flowers. The exception to this is white or green hydrangeas, which are unique varieties and don't change color. You won't have any success trying to change a white hydrangea to pink or blue! To see whether the soil in your garden is alkaline or acidic, you will need to test the pH levels. This will help you to predict the likelihood of growing blue hydrangeas.  Soil with a pH lower than 5.5 will result in bright blue hydrangea flowers. When the pH is 5.5 to 6.5 the flowers will be an odd purple color. Soil with a pH higher than 6.5 will cause the flowers to be pink. You can get a fairly good indication of whether your soil is alkaline or acidic using distilled white vinegar. Just grab a handful of your soil, pour the vinegar on top and wait for a reaction.   If the vinegar fizzes and bubbles when it comes in content with the soil, this means that the soil is alkaline and will produce pink hydrangeas. The more intense the fizzing, the more alkaline the soil. If nothing happens when the vinegar comes in contact with the soil, this means that the soil is either neutral or acidic and is more likely to produce blue hydrangeas. If you want to find out the exact pH value of your soil, you can test it using an at-home pH testing kit. These are widely available at gardening centers or online - just follow the instructions on the packaging. Alternatively, you can take a sample of your soil to a local gardening center where they will test the pH of the soil for you.

TL;DR in English: Know that blue hydrangeas grow in acidic soil, while pink hydrangeas grow in alkaline soil. Test the pH level of your soil. Use white vinegar to gauge whether the soil is alkaline or acidic. Test the pH of your soil scientifically.

It may seem silly, but locating the power switch is the most important step! This is located in different places depending on the sewing machine you have, but is normally on the right side of the body. This is a small plastic or metal pin that sticks out of the top of the sewing machine, and holds your spool of thread. The thread guide directs thread from the spool on the top of the machine to the bobbin winder. It is a geometric metal piece that sticks out of the top of the sewing machine on the left side. To the right of the spool pin on top of the sewing machine is another smaller plastic or metal pin, next to a small horizontal wheel. This is the bobbin winder and the bobbin winder stopper. These work together (with the spool of thread) to wind thread onto your bobbin prior to starting sewing. These are in different locations depending on the specific sewing machine you have, but there is typically a small screen next to a few physical buttons on the front side of the sewing machine. These buttons select the type of stitch you create, the length of the stitch, and the direction of the stitch (forward or in reverse). Check the manual for your specific machine to determine the functions for each of the buttons. When you're ready to thread your sewing machine, you will wind the thread from the spool on top, through the thread guide, and then around the takeup lever. This is the lever (with two cut-in grooves) located on the front left side of the sewing machine. There are typically numbers and arrows printed next to it to clearly direct you the way in which to thread the machine. The tension dial is a small numbered wheel near the takeup lever. It controls the tension of the thread as you sew; if the tension is too tight, the needle will be pulled to the right. If the tension is too loose, the thread will loop on the bottom of the fabric you are sewing. This is a metal piece that holds the needle in place while sewing. It is located under the arm of the sewing machine, looks similar to a large nail, and...

TL;DR in English: Find the power switch. Locate the spool pin. Look for the thread guide. Find the bobbin-winder. Look for the stitch adjustment buttons. Locate the thread take-up lever.

Make hunting less appealing by engaging your cat in predatory behavior in order to obtain its food. To do this, hide food around the house, and have your cat seek out the food. You can also use a puzzle/scatter feeder to feed it portions of its meals. You can either buy a feeder or make one at home. Clean an empty plastic bottle. Cut out holes in the bottle that are big enough to allow cat food through, but small enough to make it a challenge. Fill ¼ of the bottle or less with dry food and treats. Place the bottle in front of your cat. You cat will have to roll and knock the feeder to obtain the food. Channel your cat’s hunting behavior into more acceptable activities through play. Cats generally like to play with small, lightweight objects that are easy to flick, swat, and chase. You can either buy store bought toys, or make homemade toys for your cat. It is recommended that you play with your cat at least 30 minutes per day.  Store bought toys such as fishing rod-style toys, plastic balls with or without bells inside, or sisal-wrapped toys that your cat can dig its nails into are great examples of toys that will keep your cat entertained. Alternatively, round, plastic shower curtain rings, ping-pong balls, paper bags with the handles removed, empty cardboard toilet paper or paper towel tubes, and cardboard boxes are great examples of homemade toys and devices that cats love to play with. Remember to supervise your cat's play time to prevent it from ingesting any of the toys' parts, especially if your cat has a tendency to hunt and eat its prey.

TL;DR in English: Have your cat hunt for its food. Play with your cat.

Check to see if the company is giving away free samples through their own online storefront. If the manufacturer is giving samples away, it will probably say so on their homepage. If you don't see a blurb about free samples on the homepage, look for a tab on the menu that says "Free Samples" or "Freebies." If the manufacturer isn't giving away any samples on their website, look for the company’s physical address and write a letter to them directly to request free samples. This strategy doesn’t work 100% of the time, but it’s worth a try! It does pay off occasionally.  Company addresses are usually located at the very bottom of the webpage, in small print, or they can be found under the “About Us” or “Contact Us” menu tabs. Mailing a physical letter is more likely to get you free samples than sending an email. Business websites are bombarded by emails every day, but physically receiving a personal letter from a customer is becoming a rarity. It will usually get someone’s attention. It wouldn’t hurt to throw a few compliments in the letter about how much you like their brand, how excited you are to try a sample, etc. Some perfume companies will happily give away free samples when they launch a new perfume. Keep an eye on your favorite brands so that you know when something new is coming out. Do a little additional online research on perfume brands that you aren’t familiar with, as well. Check out their websites for possible samples, too.  Try looking into newly launched perfume companies, as well. Investigate their websites for free sample opportunities. Brand new perfume companies are generally very happy to provide you with free samples, since they are very actively trying to develop a customer base. Freebie sites collect free offers and make them available to customers via their website. You won’t always have complete control over which brands you can sample, but these sites are a good way to discover new products you may not have checked out otherwise.  Always read the fine print on these freebie websites...

TL;DR in English: Visit the perfume manufacturer’s website. Request free samples directly from the perfume manufacturer. Look for newly launched perfumes online. Check out freebie websites. Look for free samples when shopping on department store websites.

Whether you notice symptoms in you or your child, see the doctor as soon as you can. It's also important to go if you notice a sudden increase in one issue, such as falling or clumsiness, as that could be an indicator of this condition. Make a list of symptoms to take with you. Note how frequently they happen. That way, you won't forget anything while at the doctor's office. Most forms of MD have a genetic component, so your doctor will want to know if it runs in your family. Talk to your doctor if any family members have had specific types of MD. Before doing anything else, the doctor is likely to check you over physically. They'll do things like listen to your heart and breathing, as well as take your blood pressure. The doctor may also ask you or your child to walk so they can check out you or your child's gait. The first test your doctor is likely to run is a blood test. They'll be looking for 2 types of enzymes. The first one, serum creatine kinase, indicates the muscles are deteriorating when at high levels. The second one, serum aldolase, converts sugar into energy, and when your levels of it are high, it can point to muscle weakness.  The blood test is also used to determine whether you are carrying the gene for a specific type of MD. Before going to the doctor's office, drink extra water. It's easier for them to take blood when you're hydrated.

TL;DR in English: Schedule an appointment if you notice symptoms. Discuss your family history with the doctor. Be ready for a physical examination. Expect a blood test.

If you're writing down every single word your teacher says, A) you're going to get so bored and B) you're going to have far too many notes to go over at home. Instead, stick to the important stuff and make it fun! Here are a few ideas:  Turn sentences into charts or pictures. Germany in 1941 was 60% Jewish? Turn it into a pie chart. It'll be easier to see in your notes, too. Use mnemonics to help you remember. What are the colors of the rainbow? Why, Roy G. Biv of course! (Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain) Use highlighters. The more color your notes have, the more fun they'll be to read. Develop a color-coding system to help you find stuff quicker, too. Most students seem to either not do the readings at all or sort of skim them during class while the teacher is talking about them. Don't be that student! Whether it seems important or not, always do the reading before class. In class you'll know exactly what's going on for when your teacher ends up calling your name. If you don't know what the reading was, look at your syllabus. There's a reason it should be in the front flap of your binder – it should have listed every piece of homework or reading and when it's going to be talked about. A quick look at that piece of paper and you'll know exactly what to do. If you want to actually understand your homework, do it thoroughly, and get the best grade on it possible, you can't do it on the ride to school the morning of. When you get home that night, sit down and get it over with. Then you can go watch TV, play video games, and not worry about it the next morning. If you have a long time to do a certain piece of homework, that means it's probably bigger than usual and important. Do a bit each day after you get it – that way the work is spread out and you don't feel swamped. Lots of teachers give points just for showing up. Why give those points up when all you have to do is walk in the door? But beyond that, lots of teachers give participation points, too. Raise your hand even if you don't know the answer – your...

Present your kitten with replacement milk. Acclimate the kitten to bowl feeding. Introduce solid food. Transition to solid food around eight to 10 weeks.

In general, it's best to feed your husky a mixture of commercial dog food and raw food. They need a diet high in protein, so feeding a well-balanced commercial food combined with raw red meat can fulfill their dietary needs.  You could spend a good portion of your life researching dog food and trying to figure out what is best. If you are unsure about what to feed your dog, consult with your veterinarian. He or she should have a good suggestion for you. Never feed a dog cooked bones! They can splinter and injure, or kill, your dog. Raw bones, on the other hand, are great for a husky to chew on. A good rule to follow is to add fat and protein during the cold months and hard training, and to subtract fat and protein during the warm months. This may be as simple as feeding one brand of food in the winter and another in summer. Only feed after exercise. Feeding before exercise puts your husky at risk of gastric bloat and torsion. This serious condition can kill a dog. A good rule to follow is to feed 30 minutes after exercise or four hours before exercise. Every dog needs unlimited access to water in order to stay healthy and hydrated. This is especially important to remember in cold climates and cold winter months, when water dishes may freeze. Ether move your dog's water dish into a warm area that it can always access or invest in a water system that will not freeze.

TL;DR in English: Feed your husky a balanced diet. Feed your husky a seasonal diet if it is an outdoor dog. Provide water for your husky at all times.

Certain people, places, and situations make sinning easy. Certain sins are  impossible  without the right equipment, setting, or people. Make sure that you stay far away from the things that lead you to sin. If you have a drug addiction, stay out of the parts of town where these things are sold. If you're frequently persuaded by certain friends to commit acts of vandalism, don't hang out with these friends. By distancing yourself from the people and things associated with your sin, you're eliminating opportunities for sin and giving yourself less chances to fail.  Generally, it's a good idea to help other people work through their own sins. However, if you're struggling with the pull of your own temptations, sinful people can make it difficult to escape. Wait until you have your temptations under control before returning to help these people with their own sins. Eliminate the sources of temptation from your home. For instance, throw out a pornography collection. You may, in some cases, need to eliminate distractions from your own home. For instance, kick out a roommate who frequently convinces you to neglect your responsibilities. You don't need to fight your temptations alone. There is no shame in asking for help from God or from another person. If you're having difficulty avoiding your temptations, don't hesitate to turn to a priest, imam/sheikh/scholar, clergyman, pastor, counselor, or trusted friend. Accepting help is a strong, sensible thing to do and part of these peoples' purpose is to help you when you're experiencing difficulty. Certain temptations (like, for instance, the temptation to look at pornography) aren't necessarily seen as sinful by mainstream society, although they are. If you're looking for help with such a temptation, it might make more sense to consult a priest, rabbi, imam, etc. rather than a secular helper. There's truth to the old saying "Idle hands are the devil's playthings." If you keep yourself busy with good, virtuous work or an assortment of hobbies, you'll have less time to...

TL;DR in English: Avoid situations and people that lead to sin. Get help. Occupy yourself. Be persistent.

Newborn and young puppies are very delicate. Handle them with care. Puppies can’t see or hear very well before they’re a few weeks old, so picking them up and holding them may make them nervous or fussy.   Never pick up a puppy by its tail! Slide your hand under as much of the body as possible to offer the best support as you pick up the puppy. Handle puppies as little as possible during their first two weeks after birth. Over-handling them could upset the mother dog or harm the puppies.  If possible, wait until the puppies are at least 3-4 weeks old before trying to determine their sex. They will have had enough time to bond with their mother and develop a bit by then. Lay the puppy in your hands on its back, with its paws in the air. Make sure you support the puppy’s whole body with your hands so you don’t stress their spine. Don’t squeeze the puppy.  It may be easier if you have someone else hold the puppy so you can do the visual inspection. You can also rest them on their backs on a warm towel spread on a table. This will help keep the puppy warm. Newborn puppies cannot maintain their own body temperature for several weeks after they’re born. They can take a chill very easily. Don’t hold the puppy away from its mother longer than is necessary. 5-10 minutes should be the limit for handling young puppies. Use a heating pad or hot water bottle wrapped in a towel in the puppy’s bed to help keep it warm. If the puppy shows signs of distress, such as squalling or squirming, put the puppy back with its mother immediately. The mother may also become distressed if she isn’t used to you handling her pups. If you notice signs of her getting distressed, such as barking at you, put the puppy back with the mother.

TL;DR in English: Pick up the puppy gently. Hold the puppy in cupped hands. Work quickly. Observe any distress.

At first, your kitten will need about four to five meals a day. Give them around 1/3 cup of replacement milk and kitten chow for each meal. They'll be fine to go through the night without a meal, but if you hear them making noise, it is ok to leave them some extra food before you go to bed. If you have a newborn that's been removed from its mother, you'll need to replicate the suckling nature of its normal feeding time with an eye dropper. Fill the eye dropper with the replacement milk you've purchased. Hold the kitten securely and then slowly add a few drops of milk into the kitten's mouth at a time. Alternatively, some people dip their finger in the milk and let the kitten lick it off this way. This may be a difficult process for your kitten. If it is used to suckling milk from its mother, it will find the bowl a strange substitute. Simply show the kitten where the milk is. Dip your finger in the bowl and present it to the kitten. It will eventually recognize the scent and will explore it further. Refrain from pushing the head of the kitten into the bowl. Doing so could cause him to inhale the milk, which could lead to lung issues. If the kitten is initially reluctant, return to dropper feeding or to his mother. However, begin every feeding by offering the bowl first to encourage the kitten to drink from the bowl. Once the kitten is accustomed to lapping from the bowl, offer a gruel mixture. To make a gruel, mix a ground high quality kitten food with the milk replacer. The initial consistency should be similar to oatmeal. Many people use a blender to mix their cat food with the milk replacer. You can introduce your kitten to this gruel and other moist foods around five to six weeks. Eventually stop providing gruel and, instead, offer well moistened kitten food. When you switch to the kitten food, make sure you provide a separate bowl of water for the animal.  To complete the transition, moisten the kitten food less and less until it is accepted by the kitten in its original consistency. A bowl of water...

TL;DR in English:


Read their body language. Try to hold hands. Attempt a cheek kiss.

Although you should usually wait 2-4 days to mist them again, this may be different for each succulent. If you're not sure how often to mist yours, a good rule of thumb is to wait until the soil is dry to mist it again. When the succulents are young it is critical to stick to a strict misting schedule.

TL;DR in English: Mist your succulents gently every 2-4 days. Create a schedule, then be sure to follow it.

It is important to know how to turn off speakerphone during a call without hanging up on the caller on the other end.  Pick up the handset. By picking up the handset, your corded landline phone will automatically switch the call from the built in speaker to the handset earpiece. Push the speakerphone button. If your landline phone has a headset attached, simply depress the “’Speakerphone’” button on the phone and the call will automatically switch from the speaker to the headset. With a cordless phone it is not nearly as intuitive to turn off the speakerphone during a call. Press the talk button. On a cordless landline phone, such as the Panasonic KX-TGE233B, push the “’Talk’” button on the handset and the audio will automatically be switched from the speaker to the earpiece on the handset.

TL;DR in English: Turn off a corded phone. Turn off a cordless phone.

This is an alternate brewing method and should be used if you do not intend to heat your juice before fermenting it. You should not use both brewing methods.  Sulfites come in the form of campden tablets. The sulfites are fairly mild and are usually neutralized by the time the cider is ready to enjoy. You will need to let the juice sit for a while after adding the sulfites in order to reduce the strength of the sulfites. Otherwise, the sulfites may kill some of the yeast. Pour the juice or cider directly into the container you intend to ferment the cider in. A professional-grade fermenter leaves the smallest room for error, but you can use five 1-gallon (4-L) empty milk jugs for a cheaper option. Use the back of a spoon to crush the tablets into a fine dust. Crush the tablets on a plate or other surface that you can easily remove the powder from. Add the crushed campden tablets to your juice or cider and stir slightly with a spoon to mix. Cover the fermenter and allow the sulfites to sit in the juice for a full two days before you ferment the cider. You will ferment the juice with remnants of the sulfites in it. These sulfites will not get filtered out.

TL;DR in English: Understand when and why to use this method. Pour the juice into your fermenter. Crush the campden tablets. Stir the campden tablets into your juice. Let set for two days.

. Going on walks is the easiest and cheapest way to get more exercise and start losing weight. You don't need any gear, you don't need much time, and you'll get out of it exactly what you put into it.  Start with brisk walks around the neighborhood and slowly expand your walking range. Try for a mile at first, or time it out to walk at a quick clip for 15 to 20 minutes, twice a day. If you're not a big fan of exercise routines, don't treat it like exercise. Just treat it like you're going for a walk. Cue up an audiobook or some new tunes in your headphones. . If you want to add some more intensity to your workouts, start doing some gentle cardio to prepare your body. Get your heartbeat up and keep it up. Whether you want to sign up for a class or find a series of workouts online, consider any of the following cardio and fitness routines:   Yoga.  Pilates. Spin class. Dance aerobics. Water aerobics. Not everyone will be up to doing heavy cardio, like the kind you might encounter in a spin class or other aerobics routines. Talk to your doctor to develop a weight loss plan for you. . Plateaus happen regularly. If you start losing weight at an even clip, then suddenly stop, it's time to change up your workouts. This happens to almost everyone.  Try switching to a circuit-training regimen. Pick 5 to 10 quick exercises you enjoy and do high-intensity sets for 40 to 60 seconds, during which you do as many reps as you can. Rest for 20 to 30 seconds, then move on to the next exercise. Do three full sets of your 5 to 10 exercises, with a short five minute rest in between. If you do this routine three times a week while you eat healthy, you'll be dropping pounds fast. . Stress produces cortisol, which is connected to a variety of ailments, including increased body fat. High periods of stress can make it much more difficult for your body to shed pounds, which means you need to learn to relax if you want to drop some pounds.  Make your mental health as much of a priority as your physical health. Take 15 to 30 minutes...

Your crush’s body language can tell you a lot about how they are feeling when you are together. More open postures like legs set wider and hands on hips indicate comfort. More closed postures, knees crossed or arms crossed over their chest indicate unease. Try to read your crush’s body language to gauge their physical comfort with you. This can help you read if a moment for an unexpected kiss is right. If your crush’s body language tells you they are feeling comfortable with you, try some physical contact, like brushing their arm or even holding hands. This can help you feel out if a kiss they aren’t anticipating will go over well or not. If you’re afraid your kiss out of the blue may be rejected by your crush, try kissing them on the cheek. If they are comfortable with that, they could be receptive to more intimate kissing from you.

When you've removed someone from your life, you'll need time to mourn that loss. Even if a relationship was negative, ending it can bring about a feeling of loss. Give yourself some time to evaluate your feelings and come to terms with the loss. It can be helpful to write a goodbye letter. This letter will not be read or sent, but writing it can be cathartic. Pretend you're writing to the person in question and state exactly how you feel. This is a great way to get out all the things you felt you couldn't say when ending the relationship. Ritual is important to marking big events or big changes. When a relationship ends, it's sad. You can have some kind of ritual that helps you symbolically mark the end of a friendship or other relationship. For example, you can throw away items that remind you of a person, like old photos or keepsakes. While it may feel silly, many people find ritual helps bring them closure. You should make an effort to surround yourself with positive people after removing the losers from your life. Seek out friends who make you feel good about yourself. Choose people who make you feel energized and happy after you hang out. You may feel guilty about ending a relationship. However, try to silence feelings of guilt you experience after ending a relationship. You deserve to feel respected and to have your needs met. Everyone ends relationships throughout the course of a lifetime. You don't have to feel bad about making the decision to cut ties, especially if someone's presence caused you undue stress.

TL;DR in English: Give yourself time to mourn. Plan a ritual. Surround yourself with positive people. Avoid feelings of guilt or shame.

It's easy to forget that docking stations themselves require power just like all of the other devices at your desk. If you can't seem to get your docking station to do anything, quickly check to make sure that its power cord is securely connected to an outlet. Many modern docking stations will also have a small light to indicate they are receiving power. In cases where some of the peripherals attached to a docking station seem to work but others don't, the problem may be with the malfunctioning device's connections. Check to make sure each peripheral is firmly plugged into the proper port on the docking station.  In rare cases where your devices' plugs have accumulated too much dust to register with the docking station, you may need to gently clean. Try using compressed air or a computer-safe cloth to clean away any dust or gunk and reconnecting.  You may also want to try using a cotton swab dampened with rubbing alcohol or commercial electronics cleaning solution for clearing external plugs. Usually, when you connect a new device (like a docking station) to your computer, it will automatically be detected and the computer will install drivers (files that allow the computer to use the device properly). However, in rare cases, the computer may have difficulty finding or installing drivers on its own. If this happens, your docking station may not function, so you'll need to download and install the appropriate drivers yourself. Drivers are usually available for free download from the manufacturer's website. Most modern computers also have the ability to locate drivers online on their own (see our article on installing drivers for more information.) As a very general rule, if your docking station physically connects to your laptop, there's a good chance that it will be compatible. However, this isn't always the case. If you can't seem to get your laptop to interact with your docking station, there's a chance that it simply isn't built to be compatible. Try looking up the model name of your docking station on its...

TL;DR in English: Ensure the docking station is receiving power. If peripheral devices don't work, check their connections. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your docking station. Check with the manufacturer to ensure you're using a compatible station. Use only the charging cable that came with your docking station. If you can't get the station to work, connect the peripherals to the laptop.

Lay out all of your makeup and look at it with a critical eye. Think about what items you never use, or are used up. You don’t need old, dried out mascara, or that sparkly green eyeliner you loved four years ago. Throw out items that you don’t use anymore. Take your lipsticks and organize them by color. Put all the reds together, all the pinks together, all the purples together, etc. This will make it easy to find the shade you want if you are in a hurry, and don't have time to look at each individual lipstick carefully. Separate your liquid, gel and pencil eyeliners. If you have a large collection of eyeliners, you can also make subcategories according to color. For instance, you can put all brown liquid eyeliners to one side and all black liquid eyeliners to another. Take your eye shadows and split them into different groups. You can organize them by color, but you can also divide them between brights and neutrals, or between mattes and shimmer eye shadows. In general, organizing them by color tends to be the most practical, but do what works best for you and your individual collection. If you’ve put your eye shadows into a magnetic palette, you can rearrange them as you see fit. These aren’t products that you want to get rid of, but they may be things like black lipstick or orange eye shadow that you use occasionally for only specific or dramatic looks. Put these products in a box or plastic bag and store them in a drawer or closet, or move them to the back of your organizer. You don’t want them to take up space, and there is no point in displaying them prominently if you almost never use them. If you are a professional makeup artist, you probably have the entire collection of some makeup brands. Make subcategories of brand as you are organizing.  For example, still categorize by type of makeup, but put all Mac lipsticks together, all Urban Decay lipsticks together, all Clinique lipsticks together, etc. Your clients often will want their makeup done using one brand. If you also categorize by brand, this...

TL;DR in English: Throw away makeup you never use. Organize lipsticks by color. Organize eyeliners by type. Organize eye shadows by shade. Put products you don’t often use somewhere separate. Organize your makeup by brand if you are a professional makeup artist.

Your iPhone will need to have a full charge before starting the reset process. To be on the safe side, plug your iPhone into the wall charger and leave it plugged in during the entire reset. You can reset your iPhone from the Settings app. You can find the Settings app on one of your Home screens, and the icon looks like a set of gears. It may be in a folder labeled "Utilities." You'll see the "Reset" option at the bottom of the menu. You'll be asked to confirm that you want to proceed with erasing all of the data. You may be prompted for your screen passcode and your restrictions passcode, if you have one. This can take anywhere from 15-30 minutes, depending on the iPhone. You won't be able to use the phone during the reset process. Make sure to leave your phone plugged in during the entire process, and don't hold the power button while the phone is resetting. Once the reset process is complete, you can safely get rid of your iPhone or set it up again as new. If you are setting it up as new, you'll be able to restore your iCloud or iPhone backup and retrieve all of your data.  If you are giving away or selling your iPhone, you'll need to disassociate it from your iCloud account. This will allow the new owner to activate and access the phone. If you don't deactivate, the next owner will not be able to use the phone at all. Visit icloud.com/#settings, click the phone you are getting rid of, then click the "X" next to the phone in the list. See Get-Rid-of-an-Old-Cell-Phone for more details on recycling your old iPhone.

TL;DR in English: Plug your iPhone into the wall charger. Open the Settings app. Tap "General" and then scroll all the way down. Tap "Reset" and then "Erase All Content and Settings." Wait while your iPhone resets. Set up or get rid of your iPhone after resetting.

Spending about half an hour every other day over a 4-5 month period is reasonable. Organize your study time between maths, vocab, and grammar. Study for each section thoroughly using SAT testing aids. There are many different testing aids available; books and practice tests can be found at the SAT Preparation Center. The Economist magazine is an excellent source of articles that are just the right length. There are several online sources as well. Try to read a few every day. After taking a practice test, you should spend about the same amount of time you spent taking the test on going through your answers. Try to remember why you picked a certain answer.  See if you notice a pattern. There almost always is one. The SAT is a multi-subject text, which means that excelling in certain areas but doing poorly in others can give you a mediocre overall score. Make the most of your study time by devoting as much time as you can to the things you're not good at, rather than the things you are good at. If you're not sure how to begin addressing your weak spots, try talking to your teachers in these subjects for advice. Do you have trouble with the difficult algebraic questions? Are you in the dark about some of the more obscure grammatical rules? Study more for these areas than you would others. It is recommended that you study at least twice as long in difficult areas as you would easier ones. Understand the concepts first, then practice those concepts with problems and questions.  While memorizing can be helpful, particularly with vocabulary, it isn't the whole thing.  Understanding goes a lot further than memorization. You can't afford to spend a few minutes getting to know the calculator on the day of your test. As important as it is to prepare mentally, learning the material from front to back, it's almost as important to ensure you're emotionally prepared. A positive, focused, high-energy attitude can make the difference between whether you do good or great on the SAT. For the best chance of excelling, do...
