Consider your dog's breed. Notice if your puppy bites harder than his litter mates. Switch from auditory to visual or physical commands to test your pup’s hearing. Check to see if your puppy's ears move in response to noise. Notice if the habits and tendencies of your grown dog start to change.

If you haven't already sought help for your depression, it's vital that you do so and don't try to go through this alone. There are many common symptoms associated with depression. If you identify with one or more of those listed below, seek advice from your doctor. Signs of depression include:  An inability to function normally in everyday life. Feelings of loneliness and losing relationships with friends. Inability to enjoy activities you once loved, such as reading, playing video games, drawing, etc. Lethargy, fatigue, and the feeling that doing things takes a lot of your energy. Persistent sadness, including fits of crying either uncontrollably or being set off easily, feelings of anxiety or emptiness. Feeling blue, sad, and down consistently over a period of at least two weeks. Feelings of worthlessness, self-blame and a lack of self esteem. Sleeping a large more or less than usual, or experiencing insomnia. Unusual weight gain or loss, overeating, or appetite loss. Finding thinking or concentrating difficult, "foggy" thinking, inability to make clear decisions or forgetfulness.  Pessimism, or feeling a sense that life is hopeless, pointless and futile. This may even lead to a feeling of numbness. Body pains, cramps, digestive problems, headaches, and other aches that don't go away with medication or treatment. These may appear "for no reason".  Being irritable or restless a great deal of the time.  Suicidal thoughts, thoughts about dying, or attempts at suicide. Some depression results from, or is a side effect of, medical conditions or treatment for other medical conditions. In some cases, medical conditions can mimic depression. It's important for your doctor to identify any physical causes for depression that require specific treatments or to eliminate other reasons for your condition. Common medical conditions that might trigger depression include:   Vitamin or mineral deficiencies, especially for people on restrictive diets. B vitamins are associated with depression, although it's unclear whether...

TL;DR in English: Look for the signs of depression. Have your doctor explore possible medical causes behind your depression. Research depression to get a full understanding. Try talk therapy. Consider taking prescription medication. Try alternative therapies or remedies.

You might want to ask the seller or salesperson questions like, “Does this car have any issues you know about?”  If you’re dealing with a private seller, you might ask, “Why are you selling the car?”  The answers may help you learn more about the car and what you can expect if you buy it. Sites like Carfax and AutoCheck are useful for searching vehicle history reports.  Just enter the vehicle identification number to find information regarding a specific car.  This information can help you piece together a more comprehensive picture of the car’s history, including who the previous owners were and whether the vehicle has any liens against it. Check the car’s odometer, too.  Vehicle history reports should show an odometer reading that is less than its current reading. There are a number of elements that you should check before buying a used car with cash.  For instance, pop the hood and look for leaky or oil-splattered engine parts.  Check the tires.  If they’re bald, express your concern and ask the seller if they would consider fitting the car with new tires before you purchase it. If the seller disallows such an inspection, it is likely because the car has some hidden problem.  If your independent mechanic finds a problem with the vehicle, bring it to the attention of the seller.  If they say they didn’t know about it (and if the issue is not a deal breaker for you), use the issue in your negotiations later to obtain a lower price for the vehicle. If the car is a certified pre-owned vehicle, it has already been inspected and has a warranty, so there is no reason to take it to a mechanic. Giving the used car a test drive is the best way to determine if it really is the car for you.  During your test drive, evaluate the car’s performance.  Ensure that the seats are comfortable and easily adjustable. Test the heat, air conditioning, headlights, and blinkers. Determine the ease of driving.  The brakes and steering wheel should be responsive. Look for warning lights on the dash panel. Check for blind spots by...

TL;DR in English: Ask the seller questions about the car’s performance and history. Check vehicle history reports to learn more about the car. Look the car over. Have the vehicle inspected by an independent mechanic. Test-drive the car. Ask to see service records.

if you have all of the ingredients. Most frostings require simple ingredients such as butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream. There are lots of different recipes to choose from when it comes to creating a frosting, so peruse your pantry and see which ingredients you can turn into a frosting for your cupcakes. For example, you can create a simple frosting using heavy cream and semi-sweet chocolate. Visit your local grocery store to pick up a container of frosting, available in flavors like chocolate and vanilla. 1 container should be plenty of frosting to ice mini cupcakes.  Buy vanilla frosting and use food coloring to make it a different color, if desired. Store-bought frosting works best when you spread it directly onto the cupcake with a spreading knife. to frost the cupcakes in a quick and elegant way. Fill a disposable decorating bag (or just a resealable plastic bag) with the frosting. Cut off the bottom tip of the bag, and then squeeze the frosting out in a swirl on top of the cupcake.  Test your piping abilities out beforehand by squeezing the frosting out onto a napkin or plate before frosting the cupcakes, if desired. When cutting off the bottom tip, make a small cut. You can always make the cut bigger if you want more frosting to come out at once. Dip a spreading knife into your frosting and start layering the frosting onto the cupcake. Smooth the frosting out over the cupcake so that the entire top is covered, going around in circles with your spreading knife until you're satisfied with how it looks. Since they're mini cupcakes, you won't need to scoop out a ton of frosting—1 small spoonful should do the trick. You can add sprinkles, candies, or any other small edibles onto the cupcakes. It's best to add the embellishments right after you've added the frosting. If the frosting has already hardened, things like sprinkles or small edible flowers won't be able to easily stick to the frosting. You can find cupcake embellishments at your local grocery store, right next to the cake batter mix...

TL;DR in English: Make your own frosting Buy store-bought frosting for a quick fix. Create a piping bag Use a spreading knife to decorate each cupcake with a flat layer of frosting. Add any embellishments onto the mini cupcakes, if desired.

You don't really need much water, but try to put an inch-and-a-half in the bottom of the pot, and put it on the heat. If you use too much water, it will take forever to boil, but don't use too little, or it'll evaporate before you can open the envelope. As you wait for the water to boil get ready with your envelope. With the side of the envelope with the opening flap facing down towards the water, find a spot where you can gently ease your thumb under the flap. A good spot is at the very end of either side of the flap, because some envelopes don't have any glue there. Be gentle, you don't want to tear the paper. Once the steam saturates the envelope (it will feel hot, damp and limp), the glue will melt, and the envelope will open.  Don't hold the paper in the steam for too long. You'll get it all soggy and give the game away. Hold the envelope over the steam for about 15 seconds, then start trying to open it, returning to the steam if it is still stuck.  Consider using a skewer instead of your thumb or finger to peel the flap up. It allows for more precise control and is especially effective if you place the skewer vertically underneath the flap at one end and twirl it along the length of the flap.

TL;DR in English: Put a pot of water on to boil. Hold the envelope over the boiling water. Apply constant light pressure on the flap.

Put the base of the coffin on the ground or a large flat work surface and lay out the side pieces around it. Test-fit everything to make sure all the sides fit correctly before you start attaching them. You can make any adjustments to the angles cuts on the side pieces here if needed to get everything to fit together. Put a thin bead of wood glue all the way around the edges of the coffin’s base and on the angled edges of the side pieces. Stand the sides up around the base, one-at-a-time, and use an electric drill to put a 1.5 in (3.8 cm) wood screw in through the sides where they meet the edge of the base every 5 in (13 cm) or so. Screw the sides together where they meet once you have secured them all around the base of the coffin. Don’t worry about the exact number of screws you use and getting the spacing perfect. As long as the sides feel securely attached, it’s fine. Attach the lid by putting a thin bead of wood glue along the top edges of the sides and securing it in place with 1.5 in (3.8 cm) wood screws if you don’t want a casket that opens. Attach it with a 48 in (120 cm) piano hinge to 1 of the long sides if you want the casket to open and close.  If you want to give people a scare on Halloween, you can dress up and hide inside a coffin with a lid attached by a piano hinge, then pop out to frighten trick-or-treaters or party guests. If you’re planning to use the coffin for burial, secure the lid in place after the deceased is inside it. Paint or stain the coffin if you don’t want to change the color. Glue fabric, such as felt or velvet, to the inside using wood glue or school glue to give it a more polished look if you want people to see inside of it.

TL;DR in English: Lay the side pieces around the base of the coffin and dry-fit them. Attach all the sides with screws and wood glue. Put the lid on using screws and wood glue or a piano hinge if you made a lid. Add any finishing touches to the coffin that you want.

Certain breeds have a higher risk of congenital deafness (being born deaf) than other breeds. These includes Dalmatians, Australian cattle dogs, Cocker spaniels, English setters, Beagles, Border terriers, Boston terriers, English bulldogs, poodles, Papillons, Pointers, Rhodesian ridgebacks, and Shetland sheepdogs. Keep in mind that regardless of breed, all puppies are deaf until around 10-14 days of age. After this point, their ear canals open up and they should have full hearing. He may not be able to hear their squeals that will indicate to him that he is being too rough. If your puppy is deaf, he may also be the last in the litter to feed because he will not hear the food bowls being put down. While his litter mates may quickly respond to the rustle of the food bag, a deaf puppy will likely be oblivious to the sound or stay asleep. In general, deaf puppies are harder to train because they don't hear your commands. But, you need to distinguish between downright disobedience and deafness in your pup by using visual commands. For example, if during play your puppy bites too hard - instead of squealing or yelling, try blowing hard on his face while at the same time holding up a hand in the "stop" position. If the puppy is obedient, but deaf, he will quickly learn that a palm facing towards him means an unpleasant puff on his face, and ease off on the biting. A deaf puppy's ears aren't as mobile as a hearing dog’s. Whereas a hearing dog moves his ears to localize a sound, making them prick up or twitch to one side, a deaf puppy does not do this. As part of the ageing process, dogs can lose their hearing and go deaf.  Your dog may be going deaf if he does not wake up like he usually does when you get home from work, or if he is no longer afraid of loud sounds like the vacuum cleaner, thunderstorms, or fireworks. An older dog going deaf also may not as obedient as he once was, failing to come when called, or not responding to commands when he cannot see you or understand you by looking, rather than hearing. A dog...

Talk to administrators. Ask parents to get involved. Use social media to gather support. Let people contribute in their own way. Ensure that improvements continue.

Stand straight with your feet shoulder width apart. Step forward with one foot, stepping one foot a normal walking step ahead of the other. Instead of lowering your foot all the way down to the ground, touch just your heel to the ground with your toes flexed toward the ceiling. Gently lower your toes toward the ground, but don't touch the sole of your foot to the ground. Raise your toes back up and return to your beginning stance. Do 10–15 reps on this side. Next, switch legs and repeat on the other side. Do 10–15 reps on that side as well. Grab a towel or exercise band. Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you. Wrap the exercise band or towel around the arch of the foot on the leg that is straight out. Using the towel or band, pull your foot toward you. Hold for 10–15 seconds. Repeat two to three times on each foot. This can also be used to alleviate shin splints. Sit on the floor near a table or stationary object. Using a resistance band, wrap the band around the stable surface, such as a table leg. Loop the other side of the resistance band around the top of one of your feet. Once it is looped, pull your foot toward your knee, pulling against the resistance band. Hold for 10–15 seconds. Do 10–15 reps on one leg. Change feet and repeat the reps. Do three sets in all.  This exercise strengthens your lower leg and helps reduce the recurrence of shin splints. You can increase your strength by using heavier resistance bands or increasing to 20-30 reps. Stand with your heel together and toes pointed out. Slowly raise up onto your toes. After a few seconds, slowly lower yourself back down. Repeat 10–15 times. This exercise strengthens your calf muscles and helps promote balance. You can perform another kind of calf raise to strengthen a different set of calf muscles. Start with your big toes touching and your heels far apart. Slowly raise up onto your toes as high as you can go. After a few seconds, lower yourself back down. Repeat 10–15 times. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Start...

TL;DR in English: Try heel step-downs. Perform calf stretches. Do shin resistance exercises. Perform calf raises. Walk on your heels.

You need to know exactly what you want to happen when you have the conversation. Do you want to go to a dance? Do you want a later curfew? Do you want to go out to a special dinner with your parents? Think about what you want from the conversation. It can even help to write it down. Make sure you have all the important details. Having details will help you answer questions. Answering questions will calm your parents down. For instance, if you want to spend the night at friend's house, you'll need to know if her parents will be there, when the night will start, what you'll need to bring, and when your parents can pick you up. It also might help to have a phone number for your friend's parents. That way, your parents can call her parents. You don't want to talk when your parents are busy. Pick a time when they have a moment to sit down with you. It should be a time when you can have their full attention. If you can't figure out a time, ask your parents when a good time would be. If you keep trying to draw it out, you're just going to get more nervous. As soon as you get your parents together, just begin what you have to say.  For instance, you could start by saying, "I have something I want to discuss with you, and I hope you will keep an open mind. I'd like to go to the dance this Saturday night." If you absolutely can't get it out right away, it's okay to start the conversation with something else, as long as you get to the point eventually. A good way to convince someone to do something is to tell the person what good it will do them.Think about how your parents will benefit from what you are doing, and bring that up.  As an example, if you're trying to get your parents to let you go out for a night, you could say, "As an added bonus, you'd get the house all to yourself!" Another example is if you're trying to get your parents to eat out somewhere, mention their favorite dishes. If you try to lie or give a half truth, your parents may not trust you in the future if they find out. Plus, they know you pretty...

TL;DR in English: Decide what you want your parents to do. Write down what you want to say. Pick a good time and place. Begin talking. Let them know what's in it for them. Speak the truth. Talk about yourself. Back up what you say. Hear your parents out. Be civil.

There is compelling scientific evidence that a plant-based diet, comprised of vegetables, legumes and whole grains is considerably healthier than the typical meat-eater's diet.  This shows up in several different metrics that you can mention to make a strong case:   Life expectancy: Studies show that a vegetarian diet is linked to lower death rates and longer life expectancy. Geographical and historical studies have shown that societies with low meat consumption, such as those in the Russian Caucasus or the Hunzakuts of Pakistan, live considerably longer (generally over 80 years old) than societies (such as the Eskimos or the Greenlanders) that have the highest meat consumption in the world.   Cancer: There is evidence to suggest that vegetarians have about half the cancer risk of meat-eaters. Red meat and processed meats like hot dogs, ham, sausages or bacon, in particular, have been labeled by the World Health Organization as carcinogenic to humans.   Heart disease.  Studies have shown that vegetarians have a lower risk of obesity and coronary heart disease. This is often attributed to the fact that vegetarian diets are generally lower in fat than non-vegetarian diets.  However, eating more vegetables, legumes, and whole grains can actually decrease cholesterol levels, which is a primary indicator for coronary artery disease. A plant-based diet can be delicious and nutritious, sufficient even for top athletes who burn a lot of calories and seek to build muscle. Emphasizing the positive aspects of vegetarianism, such as how it might increase well-being, is a good way to convince people rather than making them feel guilty about their choices.  Terms like "conscious" or "compassionate" eating may be more appealing to some people as they emphasize the positive consequences of making certain food choices rather than requiring them to fit into the strict category of being "vegetarian". Meat is expensive and is generally the highest priced item on grocery bills. A recently published study suggests that vegetarians...

TL;DR in English: Present the health benefits of a vegetarian diet. Emphasize the positive aspects of vegetarianism. Mention that becoming vegetarian can save money.

Place your index and middle fingers over the inside center of your inner elbow. When you press lightly you should be able to feel the pulse of your brachial artery from this position. If you have difficultly locating your pulse, place the head of the stethoscope (the round piece at the end of the tube) in the same general area and listen until you can hear your heartbeat. Tuck the cuff end through the metal loop and slide it onto your upper arm. The cuff should be roughly 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the bend of your elbow and should be evenly tight around your arm. Make sure that your skin is not pinched by the cuff as you wrap it securely. The cuff should have heavy duty velcro on it, which will hold the cuff closed. If you can wiggle the two fingertips under the top edge but cannot wedge your full fingers beneath the cuff, the cuff is tight enough. If you can wedge your full fingers under the cuff then you need to open up the cuff and pull it tighter before closing it again. The head should be face down, with the wide part of the chest piece in contact with the skin. It should be positioned directly over the pulse of your brachial artery that you found earlier. Also place the stethoscope earpieces in your ears. The earpieces should face forward and point toward the tip of your nose. The gauge needs to be positioned where you can see it. Hold the gauge lightly in the palm of your left hand if taking your own blood pressure. If taking someone else's blood pressure, you can hold the gauge in whatever position you want as long as you can see the face of the gauge clearly. You should hold the pump in your right hand. Turn the screw on the pump bulb clockwise to close the airflow valve, if necessary.

TL;DR in English: Locate your pulse. Wrap the cuff around your arm. Check the tightness of the cuff by slipping two fingertips underneath. Slide the head of the stethoscope under the cuff. Position the gauge and the pump.

When you begin the negotiating process, have the seller start. If the salesperson names the first price, you can work down from there. The opening price is what will define the negotiation, and you do not want to give the seller the chance to push your price range up.  Start off the negotiation by asking, "What are you selling the car for?" Once the seller names the price, you'll be able to bargain down. Usually, the first price named will be a couple of thousand dollars below the advertised price. You want to make sure, during negotiations, that the salesperson knows you've done your homework. A salesperson will be more willing to negotiate if he knows that you're aware of the average costs of the car you're considering buying. Mention you've looked at a website like Edmund's or Kelly's Blue Book, and mention the prices listed on those sites. You're unlikely to get a price in the exact range you want, but the salesperson will be willing to go lower if they know they're working with an informed customer. Do not be hesitant to keep negotiating. A salesperson's money is often made on commission. It's in the salesperson's best interest to eventually make a sale. Keep pushing to go lower until you get a price in your range.  You usually negotiate in a cubicle. Take opportunities to occasionally leave the cubicle during the negotiation process. This conveys to the salesperson that you will not be controlled, and that you're independent enough to take breaks and walk out of negotiations. Do not be afraid to let the negotiation go overnight. If you're not getting the price you want, say you'll come back tomorrow to discuss. After some time has passed, the salesperson may be willing to go lower. If the negotiations are not fruitful, do not be afraid to walk away from the deal. If you feel uncomfortable with the way things are going in negotiations, you have every right to take your business elsewhere. Salespeople want to sell as many cars as possible, so it's in their interest not to have a potential buyer walk away....

TL;DR in English: Have the seller name the first price. Mention you looked at a reputable pricing guide. Negotiate until you reach the right deal. Close the sale.

If you think that your school needs improvement, you can start by talking to its administrators (a principal or headmaster, for example). You might also attend local school board meetings to voice your opinion. Getting administrative support is important not only because many projects will need official approval, but also because it is a way of communicating your concerns. Don’t be shy about asking to meet with your school administrators. If you are serious about improving your school and have some ideas, most will be happy to hear from you. Schools aren’t just places for students to learn—they are also an important cornerstone of any community. Families also care about schools and will want to be involved with any improvements that need to be made. Parents can get together at a Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) meeting, school board meeting, booster club event, or other opportunity and consider ways of helping to improve your school. While some people may not think that social media have educational value, social networks can be a powerful tool for organizing people. Make sure that your school is active on all major social media services. If it isn’t, talk to your school administrators about getting started. Anytime your school has an improvement campaign or project going on, advertise it widely using these services to boost involvement. Many school improvements will need a lot of support. However, this doesn’t mean that everyone has to contribute in the same way. When raising support to improve your school, make sure that people understand there is room for everyone to help. For example:  Some might be great at organizing people, while others will have talents in writing or design. Some will be able to devote time during school hours only, while others will have more time after school hours or on weekends. Some might be able to get involved on the school grounds itself, while others might be great at gathering support for your school within the surrounding community (by fundraising, for example).

In places where TB is more common, infants are often vaccinated with the bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine against TB. The vaccine is not routinely given in the US, but if you expect to be at a higher risk, then ask your doctor if it is likely to be useful for you. You may be at a higher risk if:  You will be living and working in a country where TB is more common. You have a lowered immune system making you more vulnerable to contracting TB if you are exposed. People who have a higher risk are those who have HIV/AIDS, who are taking immune suppressing medications, or are receiving chemotherapy. TB is spread through droplets, so if you wear a respirator it lessens your chances of infection if you live with someone who has recently been diagnosed. You cannot wear just any surgical or medical mask, however. You must wear a specific respirator mask (such as N95 disposable respirators) to protect yourself from TB.  The person with TB should also wear a respirator. Keep the respirator on for the first three weeks of treatment. In addition, the infected person should:  Open windows to ventilate the room she is in. Sleep in a separate room to reduce the amount of time you spend breathing the same air. Stay home from work or school. The treatment requires a long course of medications, but it is important that they be completed without skipping any doses. This protects both the infected person and those around him, because:  It reduces the likelihood of the bacteria developing resistance to the medications. Drug resistant strains are much more difficult to eradicate if they spread to others.

TL;DR in English: Discuss the vaccine with your doctor. Wear a respirator around a family member with TB. Help a loved one with TB finish the entire course of treatment.

When it comes to illustrating, you need to keep the dimensions of your pages in mind to make the most of it. This includes leaving enough space for the text, and making your drawings big enough that they occupy an acceptable amount of space on the page. To get a better grasp of this, it's a good idea to make miniature 'storyboards' to visualize how big certain objects on the page should be when compared to others. Doing a double-page illustration (where one panel of the story encompasses two pages to make a larger image) is an ambitious move if this is your first time making a picture book, but it's perfect for climactic parts of the story that somehow warrant more than a single frame. Before you even set them to paper in a serious way, you should have a very clear idea how you want your art to occupy space on the page. Having a notebook on the side to plan out and develop your ideas freehand is far preferred over jumping into the picture book impromptu. While you're planning out the illustrations, try to make them as close and applicable to the writing as possible. Whenever you're left in doubt, refer to what you've written in the story. Try to keep a consistent tone and style throughout the book. A picture book that goes all over the place will stand a much weaker chance of making an impression than one that drives the same point consistently. The vast majority of stories center around the exploits of characters. For most traditional narratives, you'll need to get really good at drawing (and redrawing) a handful of characters. It is recommended you spend some time practicing your character designs once you have a basic framework for your story. The more you draw the character, the more chances you'll have to get the look right and change things if need be. Visual design is incredibly important for characters in picture books. If you have trouble visualizing what your story's characters look like, try meditating and letting the story play out in your head. Failing that, studying the character design in other...

TL;DR in English: Outline a storyboard. Organize and develop your illustration ideas. Design and practice drawing your characters. Add dimension to the illustrations. Draw your finished illustrations on high-quality paper. Draw up a title page.

Close your eyes from time to time and picture what your life will be like after you've achieved your goal. Tell yourself that you've already received the goal, and imagine what your mind, home, relationships, and thoughts will be like when you get the thing you wanted the most. This is a great motivational tactic, especially when you're feeling down and like you'll never be able to make your dreams come true. Visualizing the excitement and joy that will fill your life once you achieve your goals will make them feel much more attainable. If you want to succeed in making your dreams come true, then you can't be a Negative Nancy whenever something goes wrong or when your dream seems insurmountable. You have to keep your head up, believe in yourself, and trudge on forward. It's perfectly natural to have some doubts and to question yourself along the way, but in the end, you have to have faith in your abilities, because if you don't believe in yourself, then no one else will.  Keeping up a positive attitude will go a long way in helping you maintain your confidence. If you only imagine the worst that can happen in any situation, then it'll be more likely to occur. Likewise, a negative attitude can also interfere with your confidence. Though it's important to be persistent about following your dreams and achieving your goals, you have to remember to take some breaks and allow yourself to rest and stay calm. You don't want to fill yourself with anxiety, cut back on sleep, or forget to have fun with your friends. In fact, slowing down and relaxing every once in a while will actually make you more eager to achieve your goals when it's time to return to them.  Meditation can help you stay calm, feel at peace, and work on visualizing your goals. Yoga is also great for connecting your mind and body, and helping you let go of any hang-ups that are gnawing at you and preventing you from reaching your potential. It's important to stay happy and healthy throughout the process and to never forget to take care of yourself, no...

TL;DR in English: Visualize success. Maintain your confidence. Don't forget to make time for relaxation. Learn from failure. Accept constructive criticism along the way. Make the necessary sacrifices. Remove any hurdles that stand in your way. Drop the excuses. Reevaluate your dream if you can't achieve it.

Just like the one-legged wall flip, it will be a lot easier to execute a two-step wall flip if you already know some basic acrobatic and gymnastic flips. A back handspring, a back tuck, and even a front tuck will all help you recognize the leg and arm movements needed to safely execute a wall flip.  As always, when first practicing a wall flip, use some soft tumbling mats and a trained and qualified spotter to help keep you from injuring yourself as you flip. Run up to the wall a bit faster than you did for the one-legged wall flip. With a two-step wall flip, deciding which foot to start your steps with lies more with personal preference rather than a clear cut right or left step. For example, if you are a righty, your right foot will be your dominant foot. You may want to take your first step using your right foot so you can get a lot of height in your first jump up the wall. However, you may want to take your first step with your left foot, so your dominant foot can push off the wall and provide better control in your flip. It all depends on what’s more comfortable for you.  As you run to the wall, you should pump your arms like you’re sprinting, rather than swinging your arms from behind and up as you did in the one-legged wall flip.  In order to figure out what will be most comfortable for you, practice running at the wall and using both your right and left foot as your first step. With the one-legged wall flip, incorporating your arm swing was a lot more important, since you needed that extra momentum for the quick flip off the wall. With the two step wall flip, your first step is going to give you the vertical height to perform your flip a bit slower, where you don’t need as much added height momentum from your arms. Jump off of your ground foot, and plant your other foot on the wall at about hip height. As you push up and off of your planted foot, fully extend your leg and keep your chest straight and vertical. Extending your leg is going to give you maximum height for your flip. Be sure to keep your...

TL;DR in English: Conquer prerequisite aerobatic moves. Run toward the wall. Plant your first step foot on the wall. Plant your second foot. Initiate the back flip. Landing the flip.

If your first draft was a bit haphazard, grab your notes and the instructions and write a second, final draft. Use proper grammar and spelling, and include all the information that is required. Make sure to look at your work on a micro and macro level. Not only should the words be accurate, concise, and fit together, but the paper needs to fit together as a whole. Does it seem to gel? Would any reordering make it better? Take a break before you start editing -- your mind needs different stimuli to process to break up the monotony and find the smaller errors. Once you're ready to go back, read the letter of intent and make necessary changes to ensure it reads clearly and everything makes sense. Edit ruthlessly to avoid repetition and make the writing flow smoothly from one paragraph to the next. Have a fellow student or co-worker, or a family member or friend read it for you. A new set of eyes will see a new set of things. Include the letter of intent with any other application materials, and submit the entire package to the institution according to the directions. If you have more than one page, you may want your name on each one (small and in the corner) in case the pages get separated.

Try stress-reducing techniques. Quit smoking Laugh. Sleep seven to nine hours at night. Consider reducing your alcohol intake. Check your blood pressure on a regular basis.

This will allow at the salt and sugar to become evenly distributed throughout the flour. If you do not have a food processor, then put everything into a bowl and stir it briskly with a fork. You can also use plain flour instead of all-purpose flour. Start with ¾ cup (180 milliliters) of water; you will be adding the rest later, depending on how dry the dough is. Most food processors should have a spout at the top where you can pour ingredients through without taking the lid off. After a while, the dough should start to come away from the sides of the food processor. If the dough is still too dry and has floury clumps in it, add the rest of the water, one tablespoon at a time. Do this until the dough clumps together and comes away from the walls of the food processor.  If you do not have a food processor, make a hole in the middle of your flour mixture, and pour the lemon juice and water in. Stir it with a fork until the dough clumps together. The lemon juice will help make the dough more elastic and easier to roll out. You won't taste it once you bake the pastry. The square should measure 6 inches (15.24 centimeters) on each side. Do not make the square too thin. This will make the dough easier to work with later. During this time, you can start preparing the butter. Make sure that the butter sticks are touching each other and that the flour is spread evenly across them. Keep doing this until the flour becomes ingrained in the butter. Once you are done mashing, remove the top parchment sheet. The square should measure 8 inches (20.30 centimeters) on each side. Leave it there for one hour. This will allow the butter to cool back down and become more manageable later. You want to end up with a square that it is about 11 inches (27.94 centimeters) on each side. Unwrap the butter and position it so that the corners are touching the flat sides of the dough square. Then, lift the corners of the dough and fold them towards the middle of the butter, creating a square-shaped packet. Do not make it too thin, and make...

TL;DR in English: Mix the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor for a few seconds. Add the lemon juice and part of the water into the food processor while it is still running. Transfer the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and pat it into a square. Wrap the dough up and put it in the refrigerator for one hour. Put unwrapped butter sticks on a sheet of parchment paper and cover them with 2 tablespoons of flour. Cover the flour and butter with another sheet of parchment paper and mash it with a rolling pin. Roll the butter out into a square. Wrap the butter with plastic wrap and put it into the refrigerator. Unwrap the dough and roll it out on a lightly-floured surface. Set the butter in the middle of the and wrap the dough around it. Roll the packet out into a rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds. Turn the dough packet to one side by 90 degrees. Repeat the rolling and folding one more time. Wrap the packet with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator. Roll and fold the dough into thirds four more times, chilling it in between. Put the dough into the refrigerator for one hour before baking with it.

When cleaning an acrylic bathtub, stay away from harsh astringent powders such as Comet and Ajax, as well as harsh chemicals like bleach. Acrylic is a soft material and is therefore easily damaged. These types of products are almost guaranteed to ruin your tub's finish. It's generally a good idea to start with the gentlest cleaning solution available to you and work your way up to more powerful options if that doesn't work. Distilled white vinegar makes an excellent natural cleaning solution, especially on smooth surfaces like acrylic that release stains easily. Fill a spray bottle with vinegar and keep it on hand for routine bathroom cleaning tasks. Apply the vinegar liberally to completely cover the affected area. Lemon juice makes a fine alternative to vinegar if you happen to have some in the refrigerator. As it sits, the acidity in the vinegar will break down mold, grime and discoloration so that they can wiped away with ease. You may even see stains begin to dissolve and run off on their own, before you even begin scrubbing.  Make sure you give the vinegar ample time to begin working. For especially troublesome spots, sprinkle a little baking soda onto the vinegar as it soaks. The yellow side of a normal dish sponge will do the trick. After being soaked with vinegar, dirt and grime should simply lift off with little difficulty. Use a quick back and forth scrubbing motion, and continue treating the stains until they vanish. You can also use specialty scrubbing tools, like the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, which are made from porous melamine foam for added stain-fighting power. Run the faucet for a few minutes to wash away every last trace of dissolved grime and dirty vinegar solution. If you’re cleaning a bathtub with an adjustable shower head, turn it on and direct the stream over the areas you just treated. Once it’s clean, the tub will need to dry so that stain-causing bacteria doesn’t return.  Most bathtub stains are the result of germs that create a filmy residue as they accumulate. Leave the shower...

TL;DR in English: Avoid abrasive chemical cleaners. Spray the stains with vinegar. Allow the vinegar to sit for 10-20 minutes. Wipe away the stains with a soft sponge. Rinse out the inside of the tub.

Cleaning can be a drag, but the best way to stop your home from smelling like your pets is to clean regularly and stay on top of messes. A good cleaning routine will include regular vacuuming, floor washing, laundry, and dusting. For the best results:  Vacuum three times a week Clean hard floors weekly with a vinegar and water solution Dust weekly Do laundry as necessary when you have a full load Clean carpets every couple of months You may be tempted to leave extra nasty messes for later, but try to act as soon as possible to avoid lingering odors. Pick up solid waste and throw it in the garbage. Blot the mess to absorb excess moisture. Spray the mess with an enzyme cleaner, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then, blot the area with rags or a cloth and let it air dry. Urine, feces, and vomit can leave especially troublesome smells, so prioritize these for a better smelling home. Pet smells build up over time, so it’s important to stay on top of cleaning and washing. Wash your pet’s bed, fabric toys, leashes, and collars in the washing machine every month. Wash hard toys every month in the sink with soap and water. Water bowls need more frequent attention--wash these with soap and water every week. A well groomed pet not only smells good, but looks good, too. Regularly bathe your pet, clip their nails, and brush their teeth. Keeping up with regular grooming can drastically improve the smell of your house, because fur, dirty nails, and even bad breath can make your house stink.  Brush your pet every day to remove excess fur and dirt. Brush your pet’s teeth at least three times a week for good oral hygiene and fresh breath. Bathe your dog at least once a month, and more for dogs with particularly smelly fur. Pets love to explore. This brings them a lot of joy, but also means that they can track all kinds of stinky substances into the house. To prevent this, leave a towel by the door and always wipe your pet’s paws when it comes inside. This is especially important on rainy and muddy days, or if your pet rolled in...

TL;DR in English: Get into a regular cleaning routine. Clean pet messes immediately. Wash toys, bedding, and accessories regularly. Keep your pet well-groomed. Wipe paws before your pet comes inside. Put a washable cover on furniture. Keep the litter box clean.

Make sure that the eggs are room temperature. Cold eggs can lead to a tough, over-cooked omelette. You want to break up the yolks until there are no strands or globs left. The mixture should be a little frothy. If you wish, you can add a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper at this point.  Consider adding a few small pieces of cold butter to the beaten eggs. This will result in a richer, fluffier omelette.  For a lighter, fluffier omelette, add a little bit of water to the egg mixture. The steam from the heating water will cause the eggs to fluff up when cooked. Turn on your stove and set the heat to medium. Place the skillet on the burner and drop 2 teaspoons of butter or margarine onto the surface. Using the handle, tilt the skillet around until the entire surface is covered with the melting butter. This will prevent the eggs from sticking to the surface of the pan. If you do not have a skillet, you can use a non-stick frying pan instead. Shake and tilt the skillet so that the egg mixture coats the bottom. As the top of the omelette begins to set, run your spatula around the edges of the omelette. Lift them up slightly to let the uncooked egg flow under the omelette. When the omelette is still runny and shiny on top, sprinkle the cheese down the middle of it. The omelette will continue cooking after you fold it in half. If you wait until the omelette is fully-cooked! the result will be a very dry omelette. Consider adding some other ingredients as well, such as sliced up mushrooms, herbs, or bits of ham. Make sure that any ingredients you add are already cooked (with the exception of cheese and herbs). For more ideas, refer to the section in this article on adding variations to your omelette. Slide the spatula under one part of the omelette and lift, flipping the omelette over onto itself. When the underside of the omelette starts to turn golden brown, take the skillet off the burner. Use a spatula to slide the omelette off the skillet and onto a plate. You can serve the omelette as it is, or you can garnish...

TL;DR in English: Break two eggs into a bowl. Beat the eggs with a fork or whisk. Butter an 8-inch (20.32-centimeter) skillet. Pour the egg mix onto the skillet. Continue spreading the egg around with a spatula. Add the cheese just before the omelette finishes cooking. Fold the omelet in half. Finish cooking the omelette, then transfer it to a plate. Garnish and serve the omelette.

Your cat may be in pain or shaken up after an injury and it may lash out when you touch the sore area. This is true even if it is normally sweet tempered. With this in mind, try to enlist the help of a friend or neighbor to hold the cat so that you can concentrate on the wound. Try wrapping the cat in a large bath towel with just the wound exposed. This is a good way to keep it calm and minimize the risk from teeth and claws. Grab your chosen rinsing solution and place it in a bowl. Use a syringe to suck up the solution, and then squirt it over the wound to rinse and clean it. Repeatedly spray the wound this way until you are happy the wound is clean.  Fresh bite wounds need to be cleaned and disinfected, to reduce the risk of infection.  Scrape wounds sustained if the cat was hit by a car or fell from a tree, may be contaminated with grit, gravel, and bacteria. A thorough cleaning to remove contamination helps reduce the risk of complications, such as poor healing or infection. If you do not have a syringe, then soak clean cotton wool in the cleaning solution and squeeze the cotton wool so the solution runs down over the wound. If the area is very contaminated, and this is not lifting the debris away, then use downward stroking movements with the cotton wool to clean the area.  Use a clean piece of soaked cotton wool for each downward wipe, so that the dirty piece does not recontaminate the wound on the next downward pass. Keep cleaning until the cotton wool comes away clean, and then finish with a rinse. If your cat has a burst abscess, a considerable volume of pus may leak from the wound. Use dry cotton wool, gauze, or absorbent paper tissue to wipe away the pus. Apply gentle pressure to the area around the abscess, pressing inward towards the tooth mark through which the pus is draining. It is important to remove as much pus as possible or it will act as an ongoing source of infection. Once you have cleaned away the gross contamination, you can start applying the disinfectant. Follow the directions on the...

TL;DR in English: Get another person to help you hold the cat. Rinse the wound with a syringe. Use a cotton ball soaked with cleaning solution if you don't have a syringe. Apply disinfectant. Decide whether to bandage the wound.

You can try yoga, listen to calming music, meditate, exercise, or talk to friends to reduce daily stress. Stress can damage your heart function and increase the inflammatory response in your body. It can also affect behaviors that impact your arteries and heart function. For example, many people turn to alcohol, smoking, overeating, and don't have much time for rest or exercise when stressed. This leads to high blood pressure, arterial wall damage and obesity that can all damage your heart function. Try a variety of stress-reducing techniques until you find one that relaxes you. You might also try deep-breathing exercises, massage, hypnosis, or tai chi. . Talk with your doctor about a smoking cessation program that will work with your lifestyle. Or, at least try to reduce smoking, since it contains thousands of chemicals that can seriously damage your heart. Smoking reduces heart function by increasing blood pressure, reducing exercise tolerance and increasing the likelihood that the blood will clot. Nicotine, the addictive compound in cigarettes, is known to increase heart rate and blood pressure. You should also take care to avoid secondhand smoke, which can also damage your heart. Stay in open outdoor areas, upwind from friends and relatives who like to smoke. Laughing can also reduce stress, which improves heart function. Researchers found that the old saying “laughter is the best medicine” holds some truth. They found that people with heart disease were 40 percent less likely to laugh compared to other people of the same age without heart disease. Make it a point to find the things in life that give you joy and make you laugh every day. You might try:  Watching a funny movie or television show Reading comedy books Laughing about the funny things your pet does Spending time around people that make you laugh Sleeping less than six hours a night or more than nine can increase your risk of heart disease and death. But, sleeping seven to nine hours each night leaves you feeling rested and refreshed. More...

Before you jump right into your plan for an animal shelter, you should consider how your shelter will differ from the other shelters in your area. If there is already an animal shelter that focuses on small dogs, for example, you may not want to also base your shelter around housing small dogs.  Think about a need in the community or in the animal adoption market that your animal shelter could fill. This could be older or elderly dogs who do not often get adopted or maimed animals that are not often accepted into larger animal shelters. This will also ensure that you are not competing with other animal shelters in your area and give your animal shelter a clear focus. Though the animal shelter is made for the wellbeing of animals, it is also a business. You should treat it as a business that needs to be sustainable and appealing. Get your finances for the shelter in order by sitting down and drawing up a budget. The budget should cover all start up costs, all outgoing expenses, and all incoming funds. Your budget should cover:  Costs for the shelter structure: This should include rent payments or building maintenance payments. You may also need to cover heating, water, and electricity expenses. Shelter supplies: This should include any equipment needed to make the shelter functional for animals, food for the animals, cleaning materials, and waste disposal. Animal care supplies: This should include the costs for routine vet treatment, neutering services, microchipping, and animal toys. You may also need to insure your vehicle as a shelter vehicle to transport animals to and from the shelter. Some animal shelter owners will treat the animal shelter as a part time job and will supplement the start up costs with their full time income at another job. This option is useful if you live in a household where two people both have stable, full time jobs and can donate a portion of their income to the shelter. Talk to your local chapter of The Humane Society and other national animal welfare associations to get a sense...

TL;DR in English: Identify the animal shelter’s focus or speciality. Create a budget for the shelter. Use part of your income as start up funding. Apply for government grants. Take out a business loan. Fundraise in your area and online. Apply for an animal shelter license.

Adultery is generally a valid ground for divorce. Therefore, if you believe your spouse has been cheating on you and you want a divorce, you may need to prove adultery in order to finalize your legal proceedings. Also, in many states, if you are filing a no-fault divorce (meaning neither party is taking responsibility for the divorce), you will need to wait for up to one year before you can file divorce papers. However, if you are filing for a fault-based divorce, which would include a divorce based on adultery, you will be able to file immediately. If your spouse commits adultery and you can prove it in court during divorce proceedings, some states will use the information when deciding issues of alimony and property division. In some states, proving your spouse was adulterous will bar that spouse from collecting spousal support all together. Proof of adultery is often hard to come by considering the act's nature of secrecy (i.e., you do not usually commit it out in the open for everyone to see). Also, adultery does not necessarily mean that your spouse had sexual intercourse, it could also mean you were sexually intimate. Therefore, most courts do not require proof of the adulterous act itself. Instead, most courts require you to prove:  First, that your spouse had a disposition to commit adultery. A disposition is a tendency to act in a certain way. In this case, it is a tendency to act in an adulterous manner. Second, that your spouse had the opportunity to commit adultery. An opportunity to commit adultery is showing that your spouse had the time and ability to commit adultery in any specific situation. If you have direct evidence, which can be eyewitness accounts or photographs of the adulterous act, then you should be able to prove adultery. However, direct evidence is usually hard to come by because the spouse committing adultery is often keeping a low profile and cheating in private. In South Carolina, courts have recognized this difficulty and, like most states, do not require direct evidence in...

TL;DR in English: Know why you would want to prove adultery. Understand the consequences of committing adultery. Know what you need to prove. Use direct evidence. Use circumstantial evidence. Think about other possible reasonable explanations. Be careful not to condone the adulterous activities.

Stir the sifted flour and salt together thoroughly, preferably in a sizable heat-resistant mixing bowl. Because maintaining a cool temperature is essential to keeping the gluten strands from forming a strong bond, using chilled flour and a chilled bowl is recommended. While you're preparing the dough, it's a good idea to chill your butter thoroughly before you attempt to work it in, if you're using butter. Anytime the mixture gets overworked, you can stop, put the mixing bowl into the fridge, and let it chill back down to a workable temperature. There are many different methods of cutting the fat into the flour, but all are equally effective with the right amount of elbow grease. The most important thing is to keep the butter cool, if you use it, so keep it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes or so, cutting it into large chunks before integrating it more thoroughly. You want to mix in the fat until you have small and uniform pea-sized chunks.   Use a food processor. The easiest way to cut the butter is to use a food processor, pulsing the flour mixture for a minute or two, until the butter is chopped up to the appropriate size.  Use a pastry cutter for butter or shortening. A pastry cutter is a great way of chopping up the butter in a good uniform mixture, quickly and without much effort. Roll the pastry cutter through the flour mixture, clearing out the butter from behind the tines after you make each pass around the bowl, if necessary. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes.  Use a fork or two knives. If you don't have a pastry cutter or a food processor, don't fret. It's possible, but takes slightly more hand strength and effort, to cut up the butter with the flat side of a table fork, using two knives to slice the butter in opposite directions, or even just using the end of a metal spatula.  Just use your fingers with shortening. Shortening won't be greatly affected by the heat from your hands or from the room temperature, making it easy to get your hands in and crumble up the shortening into the...

TL;DR in English: Mix flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter or shortening into the flour. Mix in ice-cold water into the flour mixture. Chill the flour any time the mixture becomes overworked. Use your hands to form dough into ball.

It's not just the smell of food that can trigger your nausea, you need to watch out for non-food triggers as well. According to babycenter.com, "a warm or stuffy room, the smell of heavy perfume, a car ride, or even certain visual stimuli, like flickering lights, might trigger your nausea." Make a mental note every time your nausea is triggered, then you can make a conscious effort to avoid that trigger moving forward. Sudden movements can jolt your stomach and bring on a fresh wave of nausea, so try to move as slowly and carefully as possible. Take your time getting up in the morning - nibble a cracker while still lying down, move gently into a sitting position, then stay seated for a few minutes before standing up. Pace yourself throughout the day, don't overexert yourself.  Set your alarm clock a half hour earlier than usual to give yourself plenty of time in the mornings. Try putting a little stool or seat in the shower, so you can avoid feeling light-headed. Sometimes the easiest and simplest solution is just to stop and give your body a break for a while. Try lying down, closing your eyes, taking a few deep breaths, and just getting some rest. Many women find that sleep is a great way to escape morning sickness - and it might be just what your body needs!  If you already have a kids, bring a babysitter in, even if it's just for an hour or two, so you can catch up on some long overdue R&R. Having trouble nodding off during the day? Try wearing a sleep mask or putting on a pair of dark sunglasses to block out bright light. You may think that surfing the web will help take your mind off morning sickness, but the computer's bright screen and undetectable strobe effect may make you more nauseated. To combat that, try adjusting your screen to reduce eye strain.  Try changing the font size to make it bolder and larger, and change the desktop background to a soft pink or tan. You should also take short breaks from the computer as frequently as possible -- you can do this by getting up and moving around or...

Use bleach to clean surfaces. Rinse surfaces with clean water after using bleach. Clean areas exposed to feces or vomit. Clean your carpets. Disinfect clothing.

Mouth and tongue injuries occur often in children, who will need to be reassured.  Cutting the tongue can be a painful and frightening experience, so help whoever is injured to relax.  Keeping both yourself and the injured calm will help as you treat the injury. Before touching or helping anyone with a cut, you should wash your hands to reduce the chances of infection.  You may also want to use medical gloves when aiding the victim, as blood can carry diseases. By sitting up straight and tipping the mouth and head forward, blood can flow out of the mouth, rather than down the throat.  Swallowing blood can cause vomiting, and sitting up with the head tilted forward will help prevent this. A cut to the tongue will likely produce a lot of bleeding; however, it is the depth and size of the injury you will examine.  If the cut itself is shallow, you can proceed with home treatment.  If the wound is deep or longer than ½ an inch, your should seek medical attention. If something has punctured your tongue, it may require professional care. If you suspect foreign material has become lodged in the wound, you need to see a doctor. Use gauze or a clean cloth to apply steady pressure to the injury for about fifteen minutes.  This will help stop the flow of blood.  If you notice blood has soaked through the cloth or gauze, apply more, without removing the original piece. Wrap an ice cube in a clean, thin, cloth.  This will be held against the wounded area to reduce blood flow and prevent pain and swelling.  Hold the ice bundle directly on the wound for no more than three minutes at a time. This can be done up to ten times a day. You may also simply suck on an ice cube or hold one in your mouth.  To make the application of ice more enjoyable, you can try using a popsicle. Apply ice only on the first day of the injury. Make sure both your hands and the cloth are clean. The day after the injury is sustained, you should begin rinsing your mouth with a warm salt water solution.  This can be done up to six times a day. Rinsing...

TL;DR in English: Calm the injured person down. Clean and protect your hands. Help the victim to sit up. Assess the cut. Apply pressure. Prepare ice for the injury. Rinse your mouth. Continue normal dental care. Monitor your injury. Change what you eat. Wait for the wound to heal.

Lavender appreciates slightly closed quarters, so dig a hole just large enough to contain the roots, and no larger. If you're planting lavender in a pot, you want to use a pot that's not much larger than the lavender's root ball. If you're planting more than one plant, leave one to two feet between each hole, since the plants will grow quite large. Sprinkle about half a cup of composted manure or bone meal into the hole to fertilize the lavender. This will help it get off to a good start. Mix it in with the soil at the bottom of the hole, then cover with a light layer of soil. If drainage is a concern, you can also mix in a handful of pebbles so the water drains through more easily. Prune off any dead or decaying parts of the plant so that it gets good air circulation and the plant's energy will be directed toward new healthy growth. Shake excess soil from the roots and remove any that are torn or damaged. Place the lavender in the hole so that the roots are nestled against the bottom and sides. They should not be directly touching the composted material; rather, make sure there's a layer of soil over the compost before you place the lavender in the hole. Fill in the hole with soil and pat it around the roots.

TL;DR in English: Dig a hole large enough for the roots. Place fertilizer in the hole. Prepare the lavender plant. Place it in the hole.

Properties that are not well kept tells others that you do not care about your property. Vandals are more likely to put graffiti on these properties because they think that they can get away with it. Broken fences, unkempt landscaping, and litter are all signs that you do not care.  Keep the spaces around your property clean as well. Coat vulnerable surfaces with anti-graffiti coatings to prevent damage. While the coating will not stop someone from damaging the surface, it will be much easier to clean and will result in much less damage. Coatings are either “sacrificial” or “barrier.”  Barrier coatings are the most prevalent and they are permanent. Sacrificial coatings are not permanent and must be reapplied after the graffiti has been removed. The type of coating you use will depend on the type of surface you are trying to protect. You can find these coatings at hardware and paint stores. These coatings can damage the surface. Speak with a professional at the hardware store or a professional painter or contractor to find the best option for your property. Graffiti artists like to work in the dark where other people can’t spot him. By increasing the lighting, you decrease the desirability of your space as a canvas. Motion-detecting lights are a good way to save on energy while still getting the much-needed lighting effect. Place the lights in hard to reach places. You do not want your lights to get vandalized as well. If you are a business, move your dumpsters away from the walls of the building. Cover your drainpipes to prevent people from scaling them. Also, check for movable objects such as benches. Graffitists are always looking for items that give them access to lights or signs where they can display their work.

TL;DR in English: Keep property clean and neat. Use protective coating. Improve the lighting. Limit access to your roof.

Chlorine bleach is an effective cleaning agent that kills norovirus.  Increase the concentration or buy a new bottle of chlorine bleach if the bleach you have has been open for more than a month. Bleach becomes less effective the longer it remains open. Before applying bleach to a visible surface, test it somewhere that is not easily seen to make sure that it won’t damage the surface. If the surface is damaged by bleach, you can also use phenolic solutions, such as Pine-Sol, to clean the surface. There are certain concentrations of chlorine bleach you can use for different surfaces.  For stainless steel surfaces and items used for food consumption: Dissolve one tablespoon of bleach in a gallon of water and clean the stainless steel. For non-porous surfaces like countertops, sinks, or tile floors: Dissolve one third of a cup of bleach in a gallon of water. For porous surfaces, like wooden floors: Dissolve one and two thirds of a cup of bleach in a gallon of water. After cleaning the surfaces, leave the solution to work for 10 to 20 minutes. After the time period elapses, rinse the surface with clean water. After these two steps, close off the area, and leave it like that for one hour. Leave the windows open, if possible, as breathing in bleach can be hazardous to your health. For areas exposed to feces or vomit contamination there are special cleaning procedures that you should try to follow. This is because the vomit or feces of a person contaminated with norovirus can easily cause you to become infected. To clean the vomit or feces:  Put disposable gloves on. Consider wearing a facemask that covers your mouth and nose as well. Using paper towels, gently clean the vomit and feces. Be careful not to splash or drip while cleaning. Use disposable cloths to clean and disinfect the entire area with chlorine bleach. Use sealed plastic bags to dispose of all the waste materials. If the feces or vomit gets on a carpeted area, there are other steps you can take to make sure that the area is clean and disinfected. To...

Pick the right kind of leash. Avoid using punishment-based training techniques. Tackle the excitement associated with wearing a leash.

Your sense of humor is particular to the way your mind works, and has a lot to do with how you were socialized.  The next time you find something funny, think it over. What is funny about it? Was it surprising? Familiar? Exaggerated? Write down all the elements if you can. What elements could be altered or removed for the humor to be lost?  For example, you might laugh at a video of someone falling while trying to impress someone. You would probably still laugh if they fell and weren't trying to impress someone, but you would laugh less. If they fell and were badly hurt, you probably wouldn't laugh at all. Determine whether or not you share a sense of humor with anyone you know. Does only your sister know how to make you laugh? Ask her what makes her laugh. Your sense of humor is likely to skew toward your other abilities. Are you a mathematical thinker? You might find wordplay funny. Are you a big-picture thinker? You might have a strong sense of irony. Think about your strengths and how they connect to the things that amuse you. The next time you don't get a joke, don't despair. Think it through. Did you not understand that it was meant to be a joke? Did you think it was a serious statement, or did you think it was a mistake? Most jokes depend on social context to be understood. Study your friends and colleagues when they find something funny. What do they react to?  If you understand that something is a joke, but you are offended, ask yourself what bad feelings the joke brought up. It is often harder to take humor that is about our weaknesses and wounds. Check to see if you are missing social context. Ask a friend to explain their joke if you don't understand it. You might find the joke funny once you understand why your friend does. Watch different comedies and videos of stand-up comedians to learn the kinds of humor that appeal to you. If videos do not ever make you laugh, try listening to recording of a comedian, and reading humorous novels and comics. You might find you respond more to written words...

TL;DR in English: Figure out what you find funny. Figure out what you don't find funny. Explore comedy.

Never strike or yell at a puppy if she disobeys you. Bernese Mountain Dog tend to be very mild tempered and obedient but they, like all dogs, will take some time to train. Hitting it will only make the puppy fear you and confuse her — never strike your dog. If you in the middle of a training session and she doesn't fully understand, do not become impatient and scold her. After all, the puppy or dog is only learning.  If you find that you are losing your patience, step away from the dog and try again later. Bernese Mountain Dogs are extremely affectionate and want to please — scolding or punishing may have an extremely detrimental affect on your Bernese. Focus on positive reinforcement instead of punishment. This could be with a tiny tasty treat or just praise as the dog develops. If the dog knows he gets a treat for good behavior, and bad behavior is ignored, then he is likely to reproduce good behavior it was rewarded for.  When you catch your dog or puppy chewing or destroying something he shouldn’t, remove either the dog or the object from the dog and distract him with something it can “destroy” or chew on, like a toy. Then praise him for chewing on the right thing — the toy. Keep a bag of treats in a Ziploc bag in your pocket or in a “fanny” type bag at your waist. This means you will always have a treat handy. You never know when an opportunity to train will pop up during the day! During the first few weeks of training a puppy’s attention span is short, usually less than five minutes. As your puppy gets older and starts to associate training times with pleasant interaction with you, the training time can be increased. You will know the dog's attention span is increasing when the puppy focuses more on the training sessions than on wandering off and playing. You can teach your puppy commands from the moment she arrives home. Keep training sessions short (less than five minutes) and practice three to five times a day.  Your Bernese Mountain Dog should be able to learn a variety of commands. Start with leash...

TL;DR in English: Be patient. Reward good behavior. Keep training sessions short. Start training your dog immediately.

Imagine that you have a new, $25,000 car and you get into an accident. It isn't your fault, so the other driver's insurance company pays to have your car repaired. You would think that your car is still worth $25,000 because it looks good as new. However, this isn't the case. If you tried to sell the car, you might get considerably less for it, maybe $20,000, once the buyer or dealership determined that the car had been in accident. This is diminished value, and it can drastically hurt the resale value of any vehicle. Diminished value isn't the only determinate of sale price. The actual sale price depends upon such things as depreciation, damage, the extent of repairs, and the popularity of the car's make and model. Diminished value must be calculated by car dealerships and private buyers when determining what they are willing to pay for a used car. This helps the buyer get a fair discount for the vehicle if it has an accident history. However, because of the money lost in diminished value, claims are often made against insurance companies for diminished value. This means that insurance companies must also calculated diminished value to respond to these claims.  Buyers of used vehicles calculate diminished value objectively. This means that they offer an estimated value for the vehicle that they believe to be fair, given the vehicle's history. This will always be lower than the value for a similar car without an accident history. This value may vary widely between buyers and can depend on the extent of damage to your car.  Insurance companies, in contract, use a very exact formula for calculating diminished value. This calculation is known as "17c" and has been adopted by many insurance companies in the United States. The 17c estimate methodology, by limiting the loss to an arbitrary percentage, generally favors the insurance company. State laws vary widely on the recognition of diminished value insurance claims. Some allow for claims to be made against a driver's own insurer, others against another driver's...

TL;DR in English: Know why diminished value is important. Understand that different entities calculate diminished value differently. Research your state's diminished value laws. Know how to file a diminished value claim.

You can find this by clicking the Start menu, selecting All Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools. Select Disk Defragmenter from the list. You will need to have administrator access to run the Disk Defragment utility. You can also open the Disk Defragmenter utility by clicking Start then Search. Type “disk defragmenter” into the field and click Search. There will be a list of drives that are attached to your computer. Select the drive that you would like to defragment. This is typically the C: or D: drive. Click the Analyze button to see if the drive needs to be defragmented.  You can compare the graphs below the list of drives to see how defragmenting the drive will affect its space allocation. If you see a lot of red lines, that means you have a significant amount of file fragmentation.     You must have at least 15% free space in order to defragment the drive. This is because files will be moved around in order to optimize the drive, and the system needs a place to temporarily put files that are being reorganized. Select the drive and click Defragment. Confirm that you wish to start the process in the pop-up window. After the process is complete, you will receive a report in a new window. This report will tell you which files were moved, and which couldn’t be moved, as well as your new free space readings.  Avoid using your computer during the disk defragmentation process. If you alter any files, the defragmenter may have to start over. You can watch the process by following the status bar at the bottom of the window. This will show you how far the process is, as well as what is currently being moved. The “after defragmentation” graph will adjust during the process as well.

TL;DR in English: Open the Disk Defragmenter utility. Select your drive. Defragment the drive.

If you're still in high school, start developing your interest in physics early. Take extra physics classes, for instance, and join or start a physics club with like-minded individuals. Participate in science fairs. Apply for science camps in the summer to continue to develop your interest. Read as many books as you can about physics, including biographies about physicists.  It can help to find a role model. If there are physicists in your community, try contacting them to see if they'll help you in your pursuit. Many may be willing to have you shadow them for a period of time. Don't forget to invest time in math classes, as well, as math is essential to physics. Make sure you are well-rounded, though. To do well on college entrance exams, it helps to be proficient in as many subjects as possible. To get into a good school, you must do well on your entrance exams. In the United States, that means doing well on either the SAT or the ACT. Since you're applying for a science program, many schools may want the ACT over the SAT because the ACT has a science section where the SAT doesn't. However, it really depends on the school. To do well on these exams, you'll need to prep ahead of time. Your school may offer prep courses, but you can also purchase study guides that have practice tests. Taking practice tests gives you an idea of what the actual exam will be like, so you can go into the test with less anxiety. Look at universities with physics and science programs, or that are all-around good universities. Not only the top schools have programs in physics. Find a school which is a good fit for you. You can look into state schools with physics programs. Though not necessary, it can help to know whether you want to go into theoretical or experimental physics, though it's not a requirement.

TL;DR in English: Focus on physics in high school, if you can. Take your entrance exams. Find the right undergraduate program.

A dog that needs leash training could benefit from the use of a training lead. This is a short leash that keeps the dog at your side. This kind of leash will let you correct bad behavior quickly and effectively by redirecting the dog away from distractions. A shock collar, choke chain, or prong collar has no place in retraining. While it might seem tempting to use a prong collar or choke chain, these work by inflicting pain and having the dog associate pain with pulling. Not only could these devices cause actual physical harm to the dog, but they work using fear rather than helping the dog to learn in a positive way. In addition, these collars are generally the mark of an inadequate trainer who doesn't know how to correct such behavior in any other way. Don't let this be a label applied to you, but instead retrain your dog in a humane manner using canine psychology. The chances are the dog is beside itself with excitement as soon as the leash appears. This is because it associates the leash with a walk. You want your pup to be calm when you set off, so that you are more likely to succeed in retraining.  To this end, clip the leash on and off the dog in the house, but without going for a walk. Your aim is to break the assumption that because the dog has a lead on it is going for a walk.  For example, when you are home, clip the leash on but go about your normal routine in the house. After 5 - 10 minutes, unclip the leash and carry on as usual again. Repeat this every half hour or so, so the dog becomes desensitized to wearing the leash.

Ensure that you have a flexible job to support your cycling. Enter local races. Find a sponsor. Enter in bigger contests as you become better and faster. Hope to meet a scout. Accept offers.

At this point in your performance, you're just starting to feel sick and need to be subtle or else risk being figured out.  The “art” of your performance lies in subtlety revealing your ailments. To help you find the right balance, think about what happened the last time you started to get sick. Avoid using direct phrases such as:  “I don't think I'll be able to go to school tomorrow.” ”I'm not feeling well enough to make it to class.” ”I'm too sick for school.” Don't engage in the normal activities you would do if you felt well to show that you're not feeling your best.  Decline to participate in a favorite activity, such as watching a movie or playing a board game. Seem disinterested in engaging in the things your guardians know you usually enjoy doing. Contribute little to the conversation, so that you seem too tired to be involved. If your parents ask if you've been feeling sick for a while, tell them that you've been feeling slightly off all day. If your stomach really hurt, eating a big meal is the last thing you want to do! If you had a fever, you could be experiencing a loss of appetite, which also would make you not want to eat much.  Excuse yourself to use the bathroom and don't come out for ten minutes to give the impression that you are feeling bad but that you can still function enough to not raise too much concern. When you return to the table, let your guardians know that your stomach is hurting by saying things like:  ”Sorry I was gone for so long, my stomach feels really weird.” ”I'm not sure if I can finish dinner, my stomach really doesn't feel well.” ”Can I be excused? My stomach is hurting and I think I want to lay down for a moment.”   If possible, sneak some snacks into your bedroom to eat later so that you don't get really hungry at night!

TL;DR in English: Plant the idea that you might need to stay home the following day without being overly dramatic. Alter your afternoon routine. Don't eat much at the dinner table.

Choose a steam pressure washer with a PSI of 2000 to 2600 and one that can reach a temperature of at least 300 degrees Fahrenheit (149 degrees Celsius). The pressure and temperature will enable you to clean your pool tiles quickly and effectively. With steam pressure washers, you do not need to pretreat the tile with chemicals or detergents. Debris such as branches, leaves, twigs, and trash should be swept up and removed before using the pressure washer. Also remove lose furniture and objects that can be easily swept away such as plants, pool equipment and toys, lawn furniture, grills, and other lose objects. Set the machine according to the manual's instructions. Start with a low setting and the least powerful nozzle first. Pick an inconspicuous spot and stand at least three feet away from it. Spray the area for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, stop and check the spot to make sure the surface is not damaged.  Make sure all the outlets, inlets, and accessories are perfectly connected and secured before turning the pressure washer on. For your safety, make sure to wear safety goggles, close-toed shoes, and protective clothing that can get wet. Turn the pressure washer up to a higher setting, for example 2000 to 2600 PSI at 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93 degrees Celsius), and begin washing the pool in small sections. Use the washer's wands and attachments to reach tight corners and crevices when you need to.  If you are having a tough time removing the scaling from the tiles, then turn the temperature up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (149 degrees Celsius). Remember to stand at least three feet away.

TL;DR in English: Rent a pressure washer from your local hardware store. Remove debris around the pool. Test a small area first. Wash your pool in sections.

A person’s eyes can tell you a lot about them and their mental state in a particular moment. If their eyes are glassy and bloodshot, it could be a sign that they've been drinking too much. Additionally, if a person has droopy eyes and is clearly having trouble keeping their eyes open, this could also be a sign of intoxication. Note: Bloodshot eyes could also be a sign of allergies or another medical condition. So make sure you ask about allergies before you interpret this symptom as a definitive sign of intoxication. While intoxication can mean being under the influence of several different substances, the smell of the user can be a big giveaway for many people. Both alcohol and marijuana have very strong odours that linger with the user long after the intoxicating substance has been consumed. Try to smell the person and see if you can notice hints of alcohol or weed on their breath or clothes. As a parent looking for signs of intoxication in their child, this is one of the most effective tell-tale signs. Intoxicated people can’t perform normal tasks as easily as they can when they are sober. This includes things like walking a straight line, lighting a cigarette properly, spilling drinks, or fumbling with other objects. Keep in mind that impaired motor function can be a side effect of many other conditions, such as Parkinson's disease or someone who has suffered a stroke. Although alcohol affects everyone similarly, the speed at which it does so will be different based upon their physical characteristics. Size, sex, rate of consumption, the strength of each drink, the amount of food and the additional use of drugs all are to be considered when determining how quickly alcohol may be affecting someone. For example, a person who weighs 150 lbs. will feel the effects of the alcohol much more quickly than someone who weighs 250 lbs., even if they drink the exact same amount of alcohol. This is because the larger person can tolerate more alcohol since their body takes longer to process it.

TL;DR in English: Look for glassy or bloodshot eyes. Notice how the person smells. Watch for impaired motor function. Estimate the person’s size.

This may seem like a no-brainer, but it's something all too many forget! Though almost every relationship will have difficult patches, relationships should bring happiness to both partners (most of the time). Your girlfriend should be someone that you know can bring out positive emotions in you. If the girl you're considering starting a relationship with makes you wish you were somewhere else or causes you to become tense or unhappy often, you'll want to seriously reconsider. Ask yourself the following questions:  Can I be myself around this person, or do I have to put up a "nice" front? Is this someone I naturally enjoy talking to? Do we seem to enjoy the time we spend together? We all know how the old saying goes: "You can't love someone else if you don't love yourself." Heed this advice - pick a girlfriend who loves herself and has a healthy self-image. Such girls are likely to be emotionally stable and have reasonable, realistic priorities that are compatible with a relationship. How do you know if a girl loves herself? Usually, a person with a healthy amount of self-respect will have some (if not all) of the following qualities:  Proper hygiene habits Confidence in her own abilities A relaxed, genuine demeanor An ability to find humor in herself without being overly self-deprecating If you don't feel a real emotional connection to your girlfriend, it doesn't really matter how pretty she is - your relationship is going to be a dull one. You'll want to choose a girlfriend primarily based on an emotional attraction, rather than a physical one. Ask yourself: "Would I still want to be in a relationship with this girl if she got a rash on her face?" If so, you probably have an attraction that's more than skin deep! This being said, there's absolutely nothing wrong with cherishing your S.O.'s beauty, so if you have an emotional connection with someone that you're also physically attracted to, all the better! Physical attraction is certainly one ingredient in a healthy relationship - it's just not the most...

TL;DR in English: Choose a girl you like to be around - above all. Choose a girlfriend who demonstrates self-respect. Prioritize emotional attraction, but don't rule out physical attraction. Choose a girl with a good sense of humor. Choose a girl who's independent and self-assured when it comes to her own interests. Choose a girl who wants the same things from a relationship that you do.

It’s easy to always reach for the same glasses in the cabinet or rack, but if you have over 6-8 glasses, it’s a good idea to switch them out to prevent excess wear. When you wash your glass, put it in the back and then draw from the front the next time you open up a bottle. Regular use also helps keep dust and dirt from collecting in the glass bowls. before and after using them. No matter how you store them, your wine glasses will always collect dust between uses. For a small amount of dust, give the glass a quick rinse with hot water. Use a soft-bristled stemware brush to gently remove any dirt or grime, then rinse and use a clean microfiber cloth to dry it thoroughly. Make sure your water doesn’t contain high levels of chlorine, which could potentially taint the wine’s flavor. You can purchase a kit, tablet, or solution online to test the chlorine levels in your tap water. Make sure to use a delicate wash cycle, skip the heated drying cycle, and space them far apart so they won’t clink. However, because dishwashers tend to leave a little residue behind, you’ll get the best long-term results from hand-washing. Only use this option for wine glasses with thick stems and bases. Delicate crystal goblets can crack easily in the dishwasher. Red wine tends to stain crystal, so it’s important to at least rinse out the bowl fairly quickly. Use warm, soapy water and a soft, clean sponge to carefully remove any marks or residue. These can include any wine left inside the bowl, lipstick marks around the rim, or fingerprints on the outside of the bowl. If you won’t be able to wash the glasses out right away, at least fill the bowl with water so the wine doesn’t evaporate and leave a stain. This will help prevent any water spots from forming. A soft, clean cloth also protects the glasses from being scratched or contaminated. Gently rub the microfiber towel over the glass in circles, soaking up the water without applying too much pressure.

TL;DR in English: Rotate out your glasses if you have a fairly large collection. Clean off the glasses Use the dishwasher as a last resort for cleaning sturdy wine glasses. Wash out glasses right away after using them. Dry the glasses immediately with a clean microfiber towel.

It is difficult to make money as a pro cyclist, but some people manage to do so for a while. Pro teams usually only pay for equipment and travel. Even the payout for major races is actually pretty low. Choose a flexible job that will work with your training and race schedule.  Teaching is a profession that may lend itself to cycling, since you'll have summers off, which is when most of the season takes place. You might also consider working in a bike shop so that you can interact with other people who love the sport. Performing well at local events will help build your technique, confidence, and reputation. If you're entering with other members of your local club, be sure to work with them to dominate the racecourse. Look for local races by searching websites like Active.com or the official cycling website for your country. Though professional cyclists train extremely hard (like all other professional sports) the financial rewards associated with winning are much lower than those in professional baseball, football, basketball or ice hockey. As such, sponsorship is an important part of becoming a professional cyclist as the amount of cash available will determine the quality of equipment, coaching, and medical care you will have. Though sponsors usually don't donate as much cash in the amateur leagues as they do for professional cyclists, having a sponsor can make a difference in covering the costs of equipment, training, and travel. It's difficult to do, but worth trying all the same. The more attention you get in amateur contests, the more chance you stand of catching the eye of a scout for a professional team. At the USA Cycling website, you can research events per state and find which you are qualified to enter. If you're very lucky, you may end up cycling in an event where a scout will be searching for new talent. If you catch their eye, take the opportunity. Try out when a scout for a professional team asks you to compete for a professional team. Accept an offer to ride for a professional team, should...
