Pick the baton exchange method. Stay on the correct side of the lane. Decide where to relay the baton. Keep running after you release the baton. Do speed drills. Practice the whole race.

You may be surprised to discover how deeply ingrained this habit is—both physically and mentally. Breaking it will help your brain cope with attempting more involved tasks down the road.  If you open doors with your right hand by default, start opening them with your left. If you usually take the first step on a staircase with your right foot, do it with the left. Keep working at it until leading with your left feels natural and easy. Good activities to start with include:  Eating your food (especially using a spoon). Blowing your nose. Scrubbing dishes. Brushing your teeth. Dialing phone number and writing SMS on a cell phone. Now that your left hand is comfortable with sloppier movements like scrubbing and brushing, begin refining your hand-eye coordination.  Tracing is a great place to start: having a defined edge to work with will help force your eye, which is visually tracing the outline, and your left hand, which is physically tracing it, to work in sync. Trace your right hand onto a piece of paper. Pushing the pencil against 3-D contours will help guide the left hand. Graduate to tracing 2-D images. You can think of this as taking down the gutter guards at the bowling alley. The hardest thing is to remember to use your non-dominant hand consistently during the day, so you need a good way to remind you not to use your dominant hand.  The thumb is used in almost every situation you use your dominant hand. Not being able to move it freely is an excellent way to make you aware of all the times you are using it—so try tying your right thumb to your right index finger with a piece of string. You could also try wearing a glove on your right hand or putting your right hand in your pocket or behind your back.

TL;DR in English: Resist the urge to lead with your right side. Do simple, everyday tasks with your left hand. Practice more precise movements. Tie up your right hand.

Anywhere, such as near your locker or at the water fountain, you can find someone that has things in common with you, all you need is to know how to approach them. Strike up a conversation, smile and compliment them, and, of course, introduce yourself and tell them where you came from! You never know where you can find a nice friend. Since you’re new, people are likely going to be curious about you and will be more open to talking with you. Take advantage of this. . It doesn’t matter whether it’s a club, the theater group or a sports team. It’ll give you the chance to meet new people that you’ll see regularly, two things that encourage the formation of new friendships. On top of that, joining extra-curricular activities means you’ll find others who enjoy the things you do more easily. You can also use this opportunity to try new things you might not have wanted to do at your old school. A new school is a chance to reinvent yourself, so don’t be afraid to try new things! You're probably not the only one and at the very least, you'll have one thing in common: you're both in an unfamiliar environment. Since being new is something that you all have in common, making new friends shouldn't be that hard. Talk about your old school, your new school, your opinions, grades, teachers, and you’re bound to find something in common. You’ll be noticed more there than at the front or the back of the class. You’ll have an easier time making conversation with people, and are more likely to be paired up with a variety of people for group projects. You might not necessarily make friends on your first day at your new school, and that’s okay. Building friendships takes time, and you need to find the right people as well. As long as you don’t give up, you’ll eventually find people you can call your friends.

TL;DR in English: Make the first move. Join after school activities, such as a club or play. Look for other people who are new to the school. Try to sit in the middle of the classroom. Give it time.

. Once you've got a clear picture of your current expenses (both non-discretionary and discretionary), you'll need to start prioritizing your expenditures. Think about the things that you don't really need, but like to treat yourself on. It's okay to spend occasionally on these personal expenses (in fact, occasionally treating yourself may make you feel more satisfied with your life's situation), but you need to prioritize them and recognize that you may not be able to realistically indulge every week.  If you've gotten used to a certain way of living, it's best to make financial sacrifices gradually so that the transition is easier. For example, if you're used to buying yourself a fancy coffee everyday, cut back over time: drop it to every other day for a week, then twice a week, then once a week.  Bring your own coffee and lunch/snack to work every day instead of ordering out. Just bringing a thermos of coffee and a bagel every day can save you approximately $25 each week, or about $100 every month!  Get a water filter and carry a water bottle with you instead of buying bottled water. This can save you quite a bit of money, depending on how often you buy bottled water. Remember that cutting back doesn't necessarily mean depriving yourself of things you love for the rest of your life. Instead of a daily indulgence, try making it a weekly indulgence; if you had a big weekly splurge, try making it a once a month (or every other month) splurge. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that you can spend more on your indulgences because you enjoy them less often. It's important to stick to your monthly budget and only spend the amount you've set aside for those occasional splurges. If you go into a store without any plan, there's a good chance you'll overspend, no matter what you're shopping for. Seeing in the store that something is on sale, or simply prominently displayed, shouldn't justify throwing your budget out the window.  Always make a shopping list before you leave home, no matter what you're shopping for...

TL;DR in English: Cut back on unnecessary spending Learn to be a self-controlled shopper. Get the best deals. Look for used items when possible.

Before you start organizing, you should check what items you already have and what condition they are in. It’s likely you still have pens, markers, highlighters, and folders from your previous school year. You may even have extra loose leaf paper that you can reuse for the coming year.  You should also take this time to clean your backpack. You can either vacuum it out or simply turn it upside down over a trash can and shake it. Make sure you also check the condition of your backpack. If you have any rips or tears, or if your backpack is small, you may want to buy a new one. For example, sort textbooks, binders, notebooks, writing utensils, miscellaneous items, and trash into different piles. Then go through the piles and throw out what you don't need. You can get rid of any used notebook paper, stubs of pencils, empty pens, broken pencils, broken hairbands, or any other useless items you find. This is also a good time to start a list of the items you have and of those that you still need. This will make shopping easier later, as you won't have to try and remember what to buy. If you have binders or folders, try organizing them with tabs and dividers. You can sort them by subject, chapter, or function. For example, label each folder with the new year’s classes, like Science, Social Studies, or English. You can also put all your pens, pencils, and highlighters into a pen case or bag. This way, you aren’t buying new items you don’t need.

TL;DR in English: Empty out your entire backpack. Sort your items into different piles and go through them. Organize what’s left.

Mild dehydration can be marked by feeling slightly thirsty. If dehydration is becoming a problem, you may experience extreme thirst. This can often cause related symptoms such as a dry mouth or a dry tongue. Check the toilet bowl after you pee. Your urine color can be an indication of health. Urine should be pale, straw colored, or light yellow. Darker urine may indicate dehydration.  Urine that's somewhat dark yellow indicates you're mildly dehydrated and should drink some water soon. When urine becomes amber colored or brown, this can indicate severe dehydration. You need to start drinking water right away and contact a doctor if the problem persists. Dehydration can cause changes in mood. You may feel confused, frustrated, or angry. If you notice that your mood seems off, then this could indicate dehydration if you also notice physical symptoms. You may notice you're irritable and struggling to concentrate with daily tasks if you're dehydrated. You also may be quick to anger. If your vision is becoming blurry, this can be a sign of dehydration. Your eyes will also begin to feel dry, which can lead to pain or irritation in the eyes. Since your body requires water to function properly, dehydration can cause a variety of aches and pains. Headaches and muscle cramps are common symptoms of dehydration.  Headaches may also cause confusion and lightheadedness. Muscle cramps may occur before or after exercising if you did not drink enough water to prevent dehydration.

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to thirst. Monitor your urine color. Tune in to your emotions. Note changes in vision. Pay attention to any pain.

There are generally three methods of passing the baton: the upsweep, the down sweep, and the push pass. Try all three and see which your teammates prefer:  Upsweep: the outgoing runner runs with their hand behind them at hip level, palm down and thumb outstretched to form a V shape. The incoming runner inserts the baton upward between the thumb and fingers. Downsweep: similar to the upsweep, but the outgoing runner's hand is palm up and receives the baton in a downward motion. Push pass: the outgoing runner holds their arm high up behind them, with the palm sideways and the thumb pointing down. The incoming runner holds the baton vertically and pushes it into the palm. When all goes well, the relay race is a smooth series of transfers, with no awkward jerks across the lane or switching from an athlete's left hand to the right. Practice this pattern until all four runners find it automatic:  First runner holds baton in right hand and runs on the inside edge of the lane. Second runner holds baton in left hand and stays on the outside. Third runner holds baton in right hand and stays on the inside. Fourth runner holds baton in left hand and receives on the outside. Each baton handoff must occur inside a 20-meter changeover zone, between two yellow marks. The outgoing runner can start running up to 10 meters ahead of the changeover zone, but can only receive the baton within the zone. Use tactics as well as trial and error to find an exchange position that maximizes speed and smooth handoffs:  Ideally, you can exchange the baton about 5 meters from the end of the zone. This gives the outgoing runner more time to accelerate before receiving.  If the athletes have trouble with a quick handoff, or if they get nervous and slow down while waiting, exchange the baton just past the middle of the zone.  If one athlete is significantly faster than the others, they can receive earlier in the zone, carrying the baton for more than 100 meters. A huge mistake in relay racing is to slow down before you release the baton. The...

TL;DR in English:


Wear one plaid piece of clothing at a time. When in doubt, pair your plaid with neutral solids. Match one color in the plaid with other colored clothes you wear. Pick an appropriate color for the occasion. Pick a comfortable fabric for the season. Pick a print pattern and size that compliments your outfit. Don't forget plaid accessories.

Traditional top hat material is no longer manufactured, but there are several modern day alternatives you can choose from. When looking for a material to use, gravitate toward fabrics that are fairly stiff and heavy. Light, floppy material will produce a floppy hat.  Craft felt is one of the most popular options you can use. It is easy to find, affordable, easy to work with, and comes in a range of colors. Polar fleece and tightly-woven wool are other possible options. Fosshape, buckram, and plastic canvas can be a little harder to find and a little more expensive, but they also tend to be a little stiffer and may produce a more pleasing result when all is said and done. If you cannot find these materials in the color you want, you can paint or dye them that color. You will need to cut out two round circles of equal proportions. The longest diameter of these circles should be about 15 inches (38 cm). The brim pieces will be stacked and sewn together to create a double layer. This is done so that the brim has more structure and support. If you only use one piece of material for the brim, it may lack the structure it needs to be convincing. The flue is the tall, chimney-like portion of the top hat that creates the signature look of the style. You will need to cut out two rectangular flue pieces of equal proportions. The length should be 6 1/2 inches (16.5 cm) and the width should be 24 inches (61 cm).  Like the brim, the “flue” will also consist of a double layer of fabric for the purpose of providing adequate support. Without this double layer, the top hat is likely to sink or fold over on itself once you place it on your head. If you would like to create a more playful version of the top hat, you can also cut out separate bands in alternating colors to form the flue. Stitch the bands together lengthwise so that they form a single flue piece with a height of 6 1/2 inches (16.5 cm). You only need to cut out one piece of material for the top of the hat. Cut a circle that is 8 inches (20.3 cm) in diameter. Unlike...

TL;DR in English: Choose your material. Cut the brim pieces. Cut the "flue" pieces. Cut the top piece.

Make sure that there's no car behind you before you try to parallel park. If there is a car behind you, wait for it to pass or pull into a driveway or side-street ahead, and then approach the spot again. This will let other cars know that you're parking. Shift your transmission down so that you approach the spot at no more than 2–3 mph (3.2–4.8 km/h). If you're driving an automatic car, just lightly press the brake, and if you're driving a manual car, shift down to a lower gear and lightly press the brake. It should be at least a foot apart from the car. If it's too close, then you may hit the car when you start moving backward.  Continue to check your mirrors and blind spots to make sure that the coast is still clear.  Turn around before you begin to move backwards.  If you're driving an automatic car, that's all you need to do. If you're driving a manual car, then you should slowly let go of the clutch as you press the gas. If you're parking on a hill, then you can keep pressing the clutch and just slowly move your foot off the brake.  Continue to back up until you're fully in the space. You may not get it on your first try. You can move back and steer your wheel away from the curb, then move forward again while steering your wheel toward the curb, and repeat this process until you've got it right. Shift it into first gear if you're driving a manual car, and shift the car into Park if you're driving Pull forward until you're evenly positioned between the car in front of you and the car behind you. Keep your foot on the brake as you turn your wheels in the right direction. If you're pulling into a flat spot, just straighten your wheels. If you've parked uphill, you can turn your wheels away from the curb, and if you've parked downhill, you can turn your wheels toward the curb. This will keep your car from rolling away if your brakes are disengaged. Pull forward until you're evenly positioned between the car in front of you and the car behind you.

TL;DR in English: Check your rear-view mirrors. Turn on your signal. Slow down your car. Pull your car so that it's parallel with the car in front of the open space. Shift into Reverse (R). Back up. Turn your wheel toward the curb. Lightly press the gas. Move the car backward until it's halfway in the parking space. Steer your wheel away from the curb. Park the car. Turn your wheels in the right direction. Shift into first gear. Pull up your parking brake.

No, don’t literally put them in handcuffs! Immerse them in your work.  Suck them into the writing so that they will read and read and never want to escape, so that they will want you to handcuff them to your next book.  To do this, here are some techniques you can use:  The senses.  We perceive and experience the world through our senses.  An immersive and convincing work will often have readers seeing, touching, tasting, hearing, and smelling. Concrete details.  These types of details provide a specific sense of understanding of what is going on in the writing.  Rather than generalizing an image—“she was pretty”—get specific: “She had long, golden braids, which were interwoven with daisies.” If you are more familiar with something, you can write about it in more detail, realism, and depth.  If you don’t know a detail that is important for your project, do research. Google it. Ask someone who knows.  The more information you know about a situation, a person, or setting, the more you will be able to render it realistically on the page. . Sometimes, the best way to write a story is “Linear Structure”: Beginning, Climax, and Resolution.  However, there are many, many other ways to write a story. Consider “In Media Res”—when the story begins in the thick of things.  Or, a story interspersed by multiple flashbacks.  Choose your structure depending on your story’s progression. In total, there are 9 different points of view.  The 3 main categories are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Person. When deciding point of view, think about what information you want your readers to have access to.  1st POV: uses "I"  involved – narrator is an active player and teller of the story detached – narrator is not telling their own story specifically, but maybe the story of a central character Plural (we) – a collective narrator, maybe a large group of people   2nd POV: uses "You"  inverted, the narrator is referring to him or herself as the writer, and perhaps dissociating themselves from distasteful thoughts/traits/memories You = a character,...

TL;DR in English: Arrest the reader. Write what you know more about. Consider structure Consider Point of View:

While hiding your icons on a Mac isn't as straightforward as on Windows, it can still be done. The easiest thing you can do is turn off all of your system icons, such as your hard drives, inserted discs, and servers. This will prevent them from appearing on the desktop.  Click Finder and select Preferences. You may need to open a Finder window for the Finder menu to appear. Click the General tab. Uncheck the boxes for the icons you want to hide. You can hide all of the icons on your desktop by using Terminal commands. Click Go and select Utilities. Double-click "Terminal". Enter the following command to hide all of the icons on the desktop:  defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop false; killall Finder If you want to show the icons again, enter the following command:  defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop true; killall Finder If you find yourself hiding your icons often, you can create an Automator script that will allow you to hide the icons in a few clicks. Open Automator from the Applications folder and choose the "Service" template. Set the right drop-down menu to "Finder" and the left drop-down menu to "no input". Search for and drag the "Run AppleScript" action to the main workflow. Paste the code below into the "Run AppleScript" field, replacing anything there already:  try set toggle to do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder CreateDesktop" if toggle = "true" then do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop false" else if toggle = "false" then  do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop true" end if end try  do shell script "killall Finder" delay 0.5 activate application "Finder"    Save the new service as an easy-to-remember name, such as "Hide/Show Desktop" You can access your new script by clicking Finder → Services  You will need to have run the Terminal commands from the previous steps at least once for the script to work. If you'd rather not fuss with scripts, you can download a program that will let you toggle your desktop on and off....

TL;DR in English: Hide system icons. Hide the rest of your icons using the Terminal. Turn off the desktop. Turn the icons back on. Make an Automator script. Download an icon-hiding program.

Do what everyone else is doing, but to a lesser degree.  If everyone is laughing, chuckle; if everyone is crying, shed a tear.  The key is to be subtle in all your actions. By not replying to others, you’ll avoid their current attention.  Further, your lack of reply may likely cease other correspondence.  Turn off your cell-phone.   Avoid calls and texts the same.  Set your voicemail to let everyone know you’ll be out of the loop for a while.  Let emergency contacts know where you’ll be and how to reach you otherwise. Don’t check your personal email.  Work email may be unavoidable, but personal email can wait.  Set an “out of office” auto-reply, or pretend you’re on vacation.  Log out of social networks.  No tweets, snapchats, or facebook messages.  Imagine you are trying to avoid revealing a show’s cliffhanger secret or the final score spoiler. Try to avoid eye contact so people aren’t prone to engage you.  Lack of eye contact signals inattentiveness and lessened interest.  Try not to initiate conversation with anyone.  If someone initiates with you, be polite but abrupt.  Make it clear you wish to be left alone.

TL;DR in English: Minimize your actions. Unplug from electronic communication. Keep personal interactions to a minimum.

Plaid comes in many different colors and styles. However, its crisscrossing lines mean it's almost always fairly attention-grabbing. This means pairing multiple pieces of plaid clothing with each other can be overwhelming or "busy" to look at. There's one exception to this rule. If you have one plaid accessory (like a scarf, purse, hat, pair of shades, etc.) that's designed to match your main plaid piece, you can usually get away with wearing both together. This is a great "go-to" style choice when you're trying to add plaid to your wardrobe. Solid colors offer simple contrast to the complicated interwoven patterns of plaid. On top of this, neutral tones are versatile in terms of which plaid patterns they can pair with. Not every plaid shirt will pair with bright yellow chinos, for instance, but most will pair with a simple pair of jeans or khakis quite nicely.  Neutral colors include: White, black, khaki, muted blue denim, grey, and most browns and beiges. You don't always have to wear plaid with neutral tones. However, if you want to wear plaid with colored clothes, try to pick a plaid piece with one color that is close to the other color in your outfit. For example, if you're wearing a set of bright blue jeans, you might wear a plaid shirt that includes a few stripes that are a similar shade of blue. The colors don't have to match exactly — light blue can go with dark blue and so on. Today, clothing sellers offer plaid garments in a huge variety of colors and shades. This means that you have lots of freedom when it comes to assembling your outfit. As long as you're following the color-matching rules above, there aren't any strict rules here, but a few general suggestions are below.   Brighter, more flowery shades tend to be best for casual events and warmer months.  Darker, more muted shades tend to be more formal and more appropriate for colder weather. For example, you would probably not wear pink plaid to a job interview, but navy blue plaid might work well.  Intricately-stitched patterns can give an...

Drawing attention to your upper body is key to dressing for a larger butt. You’ll also want to find tops that add weight or curves to your shoulders and chest. In doing both, you’ll distract from your behind while also using your clothes to add proportion for a more balanced figure.  Go for bold colors and patterns. Don’t over-do it to the point of being garish, but look for eye-catching colors and provocative patterns to keep all eyes up top. Look for horizontal necklines. They draw the eye while also slimming the waist. Try bell sleeves. They widen your shoulder line to make a clean line with your larger backside, balancing your silhouette. Stock up on necklaces and scarves. These are two of the most valuable accessories you have for dealing with a bigger behind. Necklaces (especially larger ones) will keep eyes on your top and neckline while scarves add width to your shoulders. If you’re chosen method of dealing with your behind is to reduce its presence, look for dark colors (especially in pants). Have tops (including jackets and sweaters) that reach low on your body, just after where your butt begins. The eye is drawn to where the garment ends, so they gloss over your butt entirely.   The A-line dress is praised for its ability to hide any behind. Find more than a couple that you like; if you can make them a part of your style, the A-line dress will be your best fashion friend. Buy slimming shapewear/underwear. These will slim your waist, butt, and thighs for an overall slighter look. Vertical features such as zippers and pleats make the waist and backside appear slimmer. Look for tops with these qualities. Look for large back pockets, low waistbands and wide legs. The pockets serve as a diversion for the eyes, the waistband will have your butt appear smaller, and flared legs help to even out your silhouette. If your intention is to draw attention away from your hips, avoid skinny jeans which taper at the ankle.  Find high-waisted shorts or pants for a classic look. The high-waist connects your butt to...

TL;DR in English: Balance top with bottom. Disguise your butt. Be particular about pants. Buy the right skirts.

twice a day. Even if you're in a hurry, brushing your teeth will remove bits of food, bacteria, and stains that can cause problems if left to fester. Try brushing once in the morning and once before you go to bed, and spend at least two minutes each time you brush. It will keep you fresh the whole day.  If you are constantly on the go, have a travel toothbrush in you purse or briefcase so you can pop into the bathroom at work. Spend equal time brushing the front, back, and tops of your teeth, especially the molars. Your dentist is not lying when he says this is one of the most overlooked hygiene regiments in America. Regular flossing cleans the parts of your teeth a brush can't reach and stimulates healthy gum growth.  Using a short piece of floss, get in between your teeth and along the gum line, using your fingers to add pressure. Take to your orthodontist about ways to floss if you have braces, such as dental threads. Be sure to clean in between your back teeth too, using the floss around all sides of the molars. Mouthwash does not physically remove plaque and food and is not a substitute for flossing. While going to the dentist every six months is not strictly necessary for healthy adults, children and those with dental issues should talk to their dentists about frequent checkups. Monitor your teeth, note any changes or worrisome pains, and get your teeth professionally cleaned at a minimum of once a year.  Smokers, diabetics, and people with a history of cavities should see the dentist twice a year or more.

TL;DR in English: Brush your teeth Floss at least once a day. Schedule regular visits to the dentist.

Use a silver tarp for the best protection against both sun and rain. Use a blue tarp if you can’t find a silver tarp.  Grommets are small metal rings in each corner of the tarp that will allow you to attach tent poles to create the canopy. You can find high-quality tarps at most home centers or outdoor supply stores. Clear away any debris from the area where you will set up the canopy. Stretch out the tarp flat on the ground in roughly the position that you want to set it up. It’s important to clear the area so that the tarp will lay flat on the ground, and so that there is nothing underfoot to trip on while you set up your canopy. Place 1 7 ft (2.1 m) tent pole in each corner with the tips in the grommets. Use 10 ft (3.0 m) of 0.25 in (6 mm) nylon rope to secure the poles in place by threading 1 end through each grommet and around the tip of each tent pole, then tying it in a tight knot.  Leave all the excess rope that is not tied around the grommets and tent poles. You will use it to secure the canopy to the ground by tying it to tent stakes. Stainless steel tent poles are the best poles to use for your canopy because they are sturdy and they don’t rust, but you can use bamboo or wooden poles instead. You can get the tent poles and nylon rope at outdoor and camping supply stores. Enlist the help of 4 people and have each person stand in a corner and grab a tent pole. Have everyone slowly lift up the canopy and stretch it out so the tarp is taut, then stick the poles in the ground as securely as possible.  Keep everyone standing in the corners and holding onto the poles while you finish securing the canopy. If you don’t have anyone to help you, you can do it yourself 1 pole at a time. Just make sure to really push the poles firmly into the ground so they don’t fall over while you stretch out the canopy. Grab each rope 1 at a times and stretch them out straight away from the corners as far as you can. Hammer a tent stake into the ground in each place where the ends of the ropes reach and tie the ropes to...

TL;DR in English: Buy a high-quality tarp with grommets, big enough to cover the desired area. Clear the area for the canopy and lay out the tarp on the ground. Attach a tent pole to each corner of the tarp with nylon rope. Lift up the tarp with the help of 4 people and stick the poles into the ground. Stretch out the ropes from each corner and secure them with tent stakes. Put 1 longer tent pole in the middle of the canopy and stick it in the ground.

Designate a small corner of your yard to use to grow flowers. Plant a variety of seasonals and perennials to suit your own preferences. The delightful colors and fragrances of a flower bed can add an idyllic beauty to your home.  Consult with a gardening expert to see what types of flowers grow best in your region’s particular climate. Don’t overwater flowers. Unlike fast-growing plants like grass and shrubs, flowers don’t require as much moisture on average, and watering too often may cause them to wither. Many people have begun sewing small patches of crops right in their own backyards. Decide what you’d like to grow—beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, squash; your options are nearly limitless—and make sure the soil is thoroughly aerated and suitable to grow vegetables in. Raising your own small batches of vegetables will give your yard a utilitarian appeal while providing you and your family with fresh, homegrown food to enjoy all summer long.  Use organic compost to help vegetable crops absorb vital nutrients. If yard space is an issue, considering planting your vegetables on a vertical trellis, or even in a compact grower that you can keep inside your own house!  Pick ripe vegetables immediately to keep pests from feeding on them. Build a simple wooden fence to mark your property and give your yard a sense of peaceful containment. Fences can be useful for offering a little privacy if you live in a crowded neighborhood, as well as keeping out animals that may trample and devour plants. If you contract with a handyman, ask them about the materials and expenses needed to put a fence around your yard. If you have an especially large yard, or one that is divided up with shrubs, flower beds or amenities like a pool or fire pit, you might construct a simple stepping stone path out of flagstones or wooden planks. A footpath can give you an expedient way to traverse your yard or garden without wearing down the grass, is easy to build and has a pleasant, quaint aesthetic. Take a look at these resources for simple...

Measure 2 cups (470 ml) brown basmati rice, and pour it into a medium-sized bowl of cold tap water. Use your hand to swish the rice around until the water becomes cloudy-looking and foam appears on the edges.  While rinsing it can wash away some of the rice's nutrients, brown basmati rice is typically imported and may be processed with talc, powdered glucose and rice powder. Rice connoisseurs, therefore, recommend rinsing it. Doing so will also get rid of some of the starch, which will help make your rice less gluey. Pour out the water through a mesh strainer or by tilting the bowl to the side. You can hold a plate over the bowl to keep the rice from spilling out as you drain the water. Add more cool tap water and repeat this process until the water is clear. This could require up to 10 rounds of washing the rice.  Add 2.5 cups (590 ml) cold water to the drained and rinsed rice and let it soak between 30 minutes to 24 hours depending upon the method of cooking and how long you want to cook it. The longer you allow it to soak, the less time it will take to cook.  Additionally, basmati rice is known for its rich flavor, which can be lost during the heating process. Soaking it reduces cooking time, thus preserving more of its flavor.  Soaking rice also improves its texture, making it softer and lighter. Use a mesh strainer to drain the water that has not been absorbed by the rice. You can also use a colander, but the holes must be very small so the rice doesn't escape when you strain it.

This might seem counter-intuitive, but exercise is proven to make your rest not only more rewarding, but actually more restful.  Studies show that exercise can raise the quality of your sleep and boost your mental health too.  Exercise will also make resting easier, you will find that you are far less antsy when you are trying to relax. Try not to exercise six hours before bedtime, as this can contribute to poor sleep. If you start hitting the snooze button too many times you can mess with your internal clock which causes you to start to feel tired at a certain time of the evening. Sleeping in can mess with your sleep cycle just as much as staying up really late can, so try to stick to a schedule.  It might be hard, but that means getting up at the same time even when the weekend rolls around. Ice baths can do wonders for your body and have you feeling physically rejuvenated.  There's a reason why so many professional athletes use ice baths as a way to recover. All you have to do is grab a three bags of ice from a convenience store, fill the bathtub halfway with cold water, pour the ice in, and then jump in yourself. If you find yourself feeling physically worn down this technique may do the trick, especially if you are proactive about the treatment. If the ice bath sounds like too much for you, warm baths can help you relax in a different way. As long as you don't stay in the hot water for too long, warm baths can help ease anxiety, soothe your skin, and even make it easier to fall asleep. Going from a warm bath to the bed can help trigger a change in temperature in your body that leads to melatonin production that will help you sleep. Massages are a great way to get your body to relax and you'll find that even a quick one hour massage can help immensely. There are lots of different types of massages, so research which one sounds most appealing to you. Swedish massages are more gentle, deep massages are slower but more forceful, and trigger point massages focus on only very specific sections of your body to...

In order to transfer the clay sculpture to a latex mask, you need a two-piece mold made out of industrial gypsum, which is porous so that the latex can soak into it as you make the mask in the next step. Your mold will be a reversed 3-D copy of the sculpture you made in the previous step. First, cut 1 inch (2.5 cm) square pieces of burlap. Set burlap aside and build a clay wall around sculpture starting at bottom below right ear, and working over the head to the left ear.  This wall will create a separation for a two piece mold. Mix the plaster in a plastic bucket, and spread an even coat of plaster over clay sculpture, making sure to get plaster into all the recesses of the sculpture. After the first coat of plaster is set, mix a new batch, and apply the burlap and plaster mixture to strengthen the mold. After the plaster is set, remove the clay wall. Use a bright colored acrylic paint, which will help you separate the pieces later.  After the paint dries, create the second half of the mold in the same way as the first. When the second half of the mold is set, slowly pry the two halves apart. Use a butter knife, working very carefully along the visible seam made by the acrylic paint so you do not crack your mold. Once the two halves are separated, remove the clay and the Styrofoam head.

TL;DR in English: Make a two piece mold. Create a separation for a two piece mold. Mix a new batch. Paint the exposed plaster flange.

Blue light from computers and TV screens can cause eye strain and dry eyes when you look at them for too long of a time. Try to take a 10-minute break every hour if you’re working at a computer so you can spend some time away from a screen. When you are sitting at your computer, make sure to blink regularly and turn down your screen’s brightness so you don’t have to strain them more while you work.  Some computers have a setting that removes some of the blue light from your screen so it doesn’t cause as much strain on your eyes. You can also buy glasses that have protective lenses that reduce the amount of blue light you’re seeing. Sun damage can lead to vision loss and make your eyes weaker over time. Put on a pair of sunglasses when you go outside when it’s bright and carry a pair with you wherever you go so you’re prepared.  If you want more protection, choose wraparound sunglasses that also protect the sides of your eyes.  If you don’t have sunglasses, then wear a hat or visor to protect your eyes from the sun. You can get prescription sunglasses or clip-ons that attach to regular glasses if you need them. Smoking can lead to many vision-related problems, such as macular degeneration, cataracts, and optical nerve damage. If you don’t smoke, then avoid having any tobacco-related products. If you already smoke, reduce the number of cigarettes you have in a day and work toward quitting altogether. Not only can the chemicals inside cigarettes harm your vision, the smoke can dry out your eyes and make them strain. If you don’t get enough rest during the night, your eyes will feel sore or dry throughout the day. Aim to get at least 6-8 hours of good rest each night to let your eyes relax and give them time to recover. Avoid using any screens for at least 30-60 minutes before going to bed since they make it harder to get a healthy amount of sleep. If you have trouble falling asleep, try wearing an eye mask or covering your windows with blackout curtains to make your room as dark as possible. Eye exams are...

TL;DR in English: Take occasional breaks from looking at TV or computer screens. Wear sunglasses to reduce eye strain when it’s bright. Avoid smoking to prevent optic damage. Get a good night’s sleep to give your eyes a rest. Have an annual eye exam to check your optical health.

It is important to write often to keep your creative juices flowing and to ensure that you don’t forget the ideas that you have for poems! When you have an idea for a poem, write it down so you won’t forget it. You don’t have to write your ideas in verse. You can write in prose or make lists of words and ideas that you might want to use for a poem later on. If you are not sure what to write your poem about, pick an object, animal, person, or place as your subject matter. You don’t need to write about something extraordinary. Just choose something that is interesting to you. For example, you could choose to write a rhyming poem about a lamp on your desk, the view out your bedroom window, your dog, your mom, or your favorite restaurant. Once you have an idea for a poem, start writing! Get all of your ideas for the poem onto paper without worrying about the structure or rhyme scheme. You can divide it into lines, or write it in prose as your first draft. For example, if you are writing a poem about your dog, then you might write a paragraph about how your dog looks, acts, and makes you feel. Another great way to brainstorm for a rhyming poem is to make a list of rhyming words that are related to your subject. The list may be long or short depending on what you are writing about. Try writing words that describe the subject and then look for rhyming pairs to each of those words.  For example, if you are writing a poem about your favorite tree, then you might start by writing down words that rhyme with tree, such as see, me, we, glee, free, memory, etc. Then, you could choose a part of the tree, such as the bark, and make another list of words that rhyme with bark, such as park, mark, stark, dark, embark, and lark. Continue making lists in this way until you cannot think of any more words.

TL;DR in English: Jot your ideas down as they come to you. Look around for inspiration. Write freely about your chosen topic. Make a list of rhyming words for your subject.

r day. To ensure you smell the best you can, you should shower or bathe every day or every other day. This will get rid of any odors that have built up on your skin or hair over the last 24 to 48 hours. Use warm, rather than hot, water, and try and keep your shower under 15 minutes in order to conserve water. Wash your entire body with soap and a washcloth. Pay special attention to the area behind your ears, the back of your neck, your feet, and sweaty spots such as your armpits and your inner thighs. Don’t forget to wash your chest, genitals, and backside as well.  If you have sensitive skin, avoid soaps with heavy perfumes or antibacterial ingredients. Don’t use a loofah—they breed bacteria!

You can view all of your PC's programs and apps from inside of the Start menu; simply scroll down to view all of them. You will also see folders here; they often contain more apps, so click them to view their contents. Generally speaking, apps like "News" or a radio app that ship with your OS are completely unnecessary (and easily replaced with better programs or online plugins). If an app is crucial to your computer's functionality, you won't be able to delete it; that being said, most mandatory apps take up minimal processing power. This will prompt a context menu. This will immediately uninstall your app or program, negating the need to visit the "Programs and Features" folder. You may have to click "More" at the bottom of the context menu to access the "Uninstall" option. Most Windows computers ship with a large quantity of stock apps, plugins, programs, and free trials; these should all be candidates for deletion. For every stock installed app, there is at least one viable alternative:[citation needed]  Replace Microsoft Edge with Chrome or Firefox. Both of these browsers are faster, easier-to-use alternatives to Edge. [citation needed]  Replace "Groove" with iTunes. Again, you can't delete Groove, but it takes much more processing power to run Groove than it does to run iTunes.[citation needed]  Replace your default video player with VLC. VLC can play almost any video format and has a simpler, cleaner interface than default Microsoft video players, which translates to quicker processing speed.[citation needed] After implementing all of these changes, your computer should be running much faster now!

Going to court to establish paternity should only be used as a last resort. This method is often utilized when a suspected father is avoiding his legal obligations to a child and the mother wants to establish paternity so the father will be required to fulfill those legal obligations. However, a man can also bring a paternity suit, which often involves the mother not allowing a suspected father visitation and/or custody rights. If you have decided that getting a court order is the best option for you, you must begin the process by accessing and filling out the required court documents. While this article will use California as an example, most states will generally follow the same procedures. In California, you will be required to fill out a Petition to Establish Parental Relationship; a Summons; and a Declaration Under Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.  The Petition to Establish Parental Relationship asks for information including your name, the child's information, and information about what you are asking the court for (e.g., parent-child relationship, child custody, reasonable expenses of pregnancy, and/or costs of litigation).  The Summons is an informational form telling the other parent about the proceedings that have been brought. It states that the other party is being sued and it asks that other party to read the form.  The Declaration Under Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act form asks you to indicate the children involved in the suit you are bringing and asks you to provide their personal information to the court. The form also asks if you have ever been involved in another similar suit with these children before, whether you have ever been the subject of a restraining order or protective order, and whether there are any other parties with custody or visitation rights the the child or children in question. Once you have filled out the required forms, you will file them with the clerk of courts at your county's courthouse. You will be required to pay a...

TL;DR in English: Consider when this method may be an option. Fill out your court forms. File your forms with the clerk of courts. Serve your documents on the other parent. File your proof of service. Wait 30 days for the other parent's response. Decide whether you have a contested or uncontested case and complete the process.

Maine Coon's need a lot of exercise for their health due to their big size. Some Maine Coons may have  a tendency to stay on the couch during the day, so take steps to make your Maine Coon cat healthy and happy.  You should provide cat perches and trees in your home so your Maine Coon can get exercise when you're not there. Maine Coons also enjoy interactive play. You should buy toys, like string or fishing pole toys, and play with your Maine Coon each day. Maine Coons are very friendly animals and will be eager to play with any household member. Both wet or dry food can be a healthy option for a Maine Coon or any other cat. However, there are benefits and drawbacks to each to consider before selecting a food for your cat.  If you're on a budget, dry food is generally a more economical option. It also does not spoil as easily. However, it's more calorie dense than wet food and may not be great for a cat with a weight issue. Canned food is generally more expensive, but has more protein and less carbohydrates. This could be helpful for a cat with a weight issue. If your Maine Coon has any specific health concerns, talk to a vet before selecting a cat food. Maine Coons do have a tendency to overeat if free fed. A male Maine Coon should weigh between 15 and 25 pounds while a female should weigh between 10 and 15. It's a good idea to establish a feeding schedule for your Maine Coon cat.  A feeding schedule can involve portion controlled feeding. This means giving your cat a specific amount of food once or twice a day. If your Maine Coon tends to overeat, this is the best option. Some people also use timed eating. You make food available for a set amount of time and then remove it. If your Maine Coon does not tend to overeat, timed feeding may work. One pound equals roughly 0.45 kilograms. Like all breeds, Maine Coons need regular vet visits. However, they are prone to breed specific health problems. Watch for signs and symptoms of such problems and have them promptly treated by a vet.  Maine Coons are prone to hip...

TL;DR in English: Keep your Maine Coon active. Decide on dry or wet food. Stick to a feeding schedule. Watch for certain health problems.

It can seem strange to schedule a date with your own partner, but it is important to keep your relationship a priority.  Sometimes the only way to do that is to work it in to your schedule intentionally. Invite your partner out on a date, take care of any necessary details like babysitting or transportation, and make it happen.  See if you can make it a routine, such as Saturday night dates. This can offer you an opportunity to connect and talk about your week. If you’ve been with your partner for a long time, she has likely seen you at your best and your worst.  While it is impractical (and perhaps unnecessary) for you to look your best whenever you’re together, try getting “spruced up” before going out on a date together. Think about when you were first dating and you would spend extra time getting ready for the date so you could be sure to impress. Play and laughter create strong connections and reinforce relationships.  If you set aside time to do things that make you feel happy—and you do them together—you will likely feel closer to your partner. Try something new and fun together, or take some time to get out and do something silly.  Some new things you could try together include trying new sports, ziplining, an obstacle course, mini-golf, a video game, a board or card game, or even attending a sporting event together. Get back to basic with your relationship and initiate some PG-rated intimacy in the form of hand-holding.  You probably held hands with your partner when you were first dating, so why not now?  Simple touching outside of the bedroom can often help you feel closer and revitalize the bond between you. and be kind. Think of love as an action. Every day, find ways to show your partner how much you care about them. Make it so that they couldn't ever forget that you love them.

If you’re using your sports bras regularly, they’re going to stretch out over time. For this reason, it’s important to buy new ones every 6 months so that you always have great support.  How often you buy a new sports bra will depend on how active you are. If you wear the same sports bra once a week, it could last up to a year, while if you wear the same sports bra 3 times a week, it’s going to be all stretched out after 4-6 months. If you exercise 4-5 days a week, you should have 4-5 sports bras that you rotate. Wearing the same one over and over again will cause the sports bra to stretch out much faster. The band of your sports bra is even more important than the straps — this is what gives you the most support. If your band is riding up on your back when you’re moving around or it’s super stretched out, it’s time to get a new sports bra.  If you’re using the tightest hook on your band, this may be a sign that your bra is stretched out and you should think about replacing it. Alternatively, it could mean you have a narrow back. You can also test the band by reaching your arms up over your head. If the band moves up your back, it isn’t a great fit. If you pull on your straps and they don’t have much give anymore, they’re likely all stretched out. Straps that are falling off of your shoulders when you’re exercising need to be retired.  If your straps are falling off of your shoulders and are adjustable, see if they can be tightened before deciding whether or not you need a new sports bra. If you finish a workout and your chest is in pain, this is the ultimate sign that your sports bra isn’t working for you. The same goes if you’re working out and your chest is bouncing all around. If your sports bra isn’t giving you the right support, it’s time to get a new one.

TL;DR in English: Replace your sports bras every 4-6 months. Buy a new bra if the band is riding up on your back. Find a new sports bra if the straps are all stretched out. Invest in another bra if your chest hurts after working out.

If you have cannabis that you want to use in cooking, decarboxylation is a vital part of the process. Start by breaking up the cannabis into small pieces. Then put the cannabis onto a baking tray, and spread it across the tray as you would whatever you were cooking. To decarboxylate cannabis, you need to heat it to around 240 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the temperature at which decarboxylation occurs. Heat your oven to this temperature, before placing your baking tray of cannabis into it. When the oven is up to temperature, place your tray of cannabis in there. To achieve the maximum amount of decarboxylation, you need to heat it until the bubbling dissipates. There is no fixed amount of time you should leave it in there for, but around an hour is generally considered to produce the best results.  Keep an eye on it, and give it a quick stir every ten minutes or so. Cannabis with a higher moisture content may take longer than an hour, but you should never raise the temperature above 240 degrees Fahrenheit. After around an hour, you should remove the cannabis from the oven and allow it cool. You will notice that the colour will have changed, and become a medium brown. You will also notice it has dried and it should have quite a crumbly texture.  Once it has cooled you can grind it in a food processor so that is in made into a small enough powder to use easily in cooking. Store it in an airtight container like your other herbs and use as appropriate.

TL;DR in English: Prepare the cannabis. Heat the oven. Put the cannabis in the oven. Allow it to cool.

If you feel that you would feel sexier by making changes to your body, begin by reviewing your diet. A poor diet can not only contribute to an undesirable weight, but it can also affect your energy and mood. If you find that your diet consists of food that does not benefit your body, begin to make changes. Reduce your sugar intake, and try to eliminate processed foods. Make sure that you get your recommended daily intake of fruits, vegetables, grains, etc.  Changing your diet doesn’t have to mean eliminating all of the food you love. Instead of having a chocolate bar every day, reserve a special day or two to eat one. Exercising is great for your mood as well as your body. Exercising is important even if you don’t want a dramatic weight loss. Look for a physical activity that you enjoy. Try running, dancing, tennis, or swimming. Do that activity at least twice a week if possible. You can make the activity fun by doing it with a partner. Do a quick workout the morning or hour before you will be naked. This will temporarily tone your body. Go on a quick run, do a set of weights, or do a set of lunges and pushups. A happy, healthy mindset will help you feel sexy and confident. If possible, take a few minutes out of every day for self-care. If that’s not possible, set aside an hour a week. You can take a warm bath with scented oils, try out a face mask, or work on meditation. Do whatever makes you feel calm and happy.

TL;DR in English: Review your diet. Find an enjoyable physical activity. Do a quick workout before disrobing. Take time out of your day for self-care.

Grab a sterile cotton ball with long medical tweezers. Dip the cotton ball into a dish of rubbing alcohol, allowing the alcohol to soak all the way through it.  Other flammable materials can be used instead of cotton. Common options include paper and dried herbs. Blot the cotton ball on some paper towel to get rid of extra rubbing alcohol. It should be wet but not dripping. Hold the cotton ball with the long tweezers. Using a lighter or candle, carefully light the cotton on fire. Make sure you do this away from the dish of rubbing alcohol, to avoid setting the dish on fire.  Make sure that the bottle of rubbing alcohol has been closed before you light the cotton. An open bottle is a highly dangerous fire hazard.  Keep other flammable materials away from your working area to further reduce the risk of unintended fires or burns. If the flame grows out of control, completely cover it in a non-flammable container to cut off oxygen and kill the fire. Take the cotton ball out of the cup after about 3 seconds, or when the glass feels warm. The flame will suck the oxygen out of the cup and allow it to suction to the patient’s skin. The glass should still be cool enough to hold in your bare hands.  Don’t let the cup get too hot, or it’ll burn you or your patient. If you are using multiple cups, continue holding the cotton with medical tweezers throughout the entire treatment. Do not let go of it until all cups have been applied. If you are only using one cup, you can release the cotton into the glass and allow it to burn out. Empty the glass before applying it to the skin.  Working with a flame is dangerous! Have a bowl of water at the ready to extinguish fire, and make sure you’re working over a flame-resistant surface, not the wooden table!

Limit dietary fat to about 20–30% of your total caloric intake.  This is equal to about 40–70 g of fat daily (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).  Higher levels of fat may increase your risk of weight gain or levels of visceral fat.  Eliminate trans-fats completely.  Trans-fats are a type of fat that's man made and has been shown to cause hardening of the coronary arteries and increase visceral fat.  Reduce saturated fat intake to less than 7% of your total caloric intake.  Although saturated fat is not as unhealthy as trans fat, it's important to moderate your intake to an appropriate level.  In general, limit your intake to 15–20 g daily (this is based on a 2,000 calorie diet). Although it's important to monitor your overall fat intake, it's also important to make sure you're consuming the types of dietary fat will improve your health and help support your desire to decrease visceral fat.  Some dietary fat — monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) — have been shown to help decrease visceral fat levels.  MUFAs are found in foods like:  olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil and sesame oil.  They can also be found in avocados, nuts and seeds.    Incorporate one to two servings of these foods daily. A low carbohydrate diet has been shown to be an effective eating pattern to help reduce levels of visceral fat.  Reduce the amount of carbohydrate rich foods in your diet to help promote the reduction of visceral fat.  Carbohydrate rich foods include:  bread, rice, pasta, crackers, tortillas, bagels, sweets and sugary beverages.  Limit these foods to one to two servings maximum each day.  Foods like dairy, fruit and starchy vegetables also contain carbs, but have other beneficial nutrients like protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Keep carbohydrates from sweets or sweetened beverages to an absolute minimum if possible. Studies have shown that those who consumed adequate fiber daily had lower (and had an easier time lowering) visceral fat levels.  Women should consume 25 g of fiber daily and men should consume 38 g of fiber...

TL;DR in English: Monitor your total fat intake. Consume heart-healthy fats. Limit your carbohydrate intake. Consume adequate fiber daily. Monitor your total calorie intake.

The pineapple juice will already give this cocktail a sweet taste, but if you'd like something even sweeter, add a handful of cotton candy into the glass. Try to fill the glass up to the brim with cotton candy. Don't worry, the cotton candy will dissolve the instant you add the liquid. This will help chill the martini. If you don't like pineapple juice, you can try another type of juice, such as cranberry. This will mix everything together as well as chill it. If you added any cotton candy into the glass, you'll see it disappear the moment the mixture touches it. Try to balance the cotton candy on the rim of the glass, but don't let it touch the martini, or it will disappear. If you can't get it to balance, spear it onto a cocktail stick instead, and put the stick into the martini.

TL;DR in English: Consider filling a martini glass with a handful of cotton candy. Fill a cocktail shaker ¾ of the way with ice. Add in the vodka, juice, and grenadine. Shake the ingredients for about 10 seconds. Pour the mixture through a cocktail strainer into the glass. Garnish the drink with a pinch of cotton candy and serve. Finished.

Environmental activists have to keep their minds sharp and encourage others to join them. Convincing knowledge and persuasive rhetoric are both critical to calling people to join in conservation efforts. Try to read environmental publications to keep up with relevant news, then share it with others. Post it to social media, your blog, or find other ways to tell people you know.  Reading about social relations, industrial infrastructure such as oil refineries, and alternatives to the present way of living are always helpful. Stay active with your efforts to increase the likelihood of other people reading what you post. paper and other goods in your home. Waste is one of the most pressing environmental issues. Every year countless amounts of used products go into landfills or end up in the environment. That doesn’t even include the energy sources used to make the items. Instead of putting everything in the trash, take your paper products, metal cans, glass, and other products to a recycling facility.  Many garbage removal services also offer recycling programs. Contact them for more information about how to participate. Another way to recycle is to buy products made from recycled materials. Also, get used products from secondhand stores instead of buying new. Farm animals take up a lot of resources and produce a lot of waste. This includes pesticides, hormones, and other nasty chemicals that get washed into lakes and rivers. You don’t have to eliminate these items from your diet, but try to substitute them on occasion for more fruits, vegetables, and grains.  Choose fruits and vegetables that aren’t treated with harmful pesticides. Some environmentalists choose to go vegetarian and stick to an organic diet. Learn about how you can care for the environment, and make an effort to do so. When you do eat meat and dairy, look for products without antibiotics or chemicals. Every environmentalist can tell you about the impact of fossil fuels. Every time you drive a car, you put more nasty car exhaust into the...

TL;DR in English: Post information about activism online. Recycle Eat less meat and dairy to reduce the impact of raising animals. Reduce your usage of transportation. Conserve energy at home by turning off appliances. Stay persistent when your efforts don’t seem to be working.

You'll need a few tools in order to make your nails look healthy and beautiful. You might have to spend a little money to accumulate everything you need, but over time doing your own nails is much less expensive than getting manicures. Here's what you need:  Nail trimmers Nail file Polish remover Cotton balls Buffer Cuticle cream Hand lotion Orange stick If you have an old, chipped coat of polish still clinging to your nails, use the nail polish remover and a cotton ball to take it off. You'll want to start with a fresh, clean slate. Soaking your nails softens them and makes them easier to trim. It also makes your cuticles more supple and easier to push back. Soak for about five minutes, until your nails are pliable, then dry them on a towel. Use nail trimmers to create the nail shape you want, either squared off or rounded. Don't trim too short; you want to leave a white crescent on each nail. This extra length protects your nail beds and looks pretty, too. Use a nail file to neaten the edges and smooth out the shape of your nails.  When you're using a nail file, move it in one direction across the tip of your nail. Don't scrape it back and forth, since this damages your nail fibers. Avoid using a file to make your nails shorter; always start with a nail trimmer, then use the file just for shaping purposes. Do not round the corners down into the sides of the nail bed, because this can cause ingrown nails, especially on the big toes. Dry your nails and apply a cuticle cream. Let the cream soak in for about three minutes, then use an orange stick (or cuticle pusher) to gently push back the cuticles, the skin growing at the base of your nail. This makes the shape of your nails prettier and prepares them for an even coat of polish. Wipe off the cuticle cream when you're finished.  Never force your cuticles back, and never trim them. Cuticles are there to prevent infection, and cutting them will leave your fingers prone to getting red and sore. If you don't have an orange stick, try using a binder clip or another...

TL;DR in English: Gather supplies. Remove old nail polish. Soak your nails in a bowl of warm water. Trim and file your nails. Push back your cuticles. Buff your nails. Rinse your hands and apply lotion.

Don't settle for excuses. You deserve a healthy puppy and this takes knowledge and planning on the breeder's part. Check the pedigree papers to see if there are a high number of titled dogs in the first and second generations. If a puppy's ancestor was titled, initials such as  FC, JH, CH, CD, OTCH or WC will appear before or after the dog's name. Although most pedigree papers show three to five generations, the first two are of the most important. These titles show that the dog was able to meet minimum performance standards and is likely a well socialized, trainable dog. Higher level titles show exceptional intelligence, team work and trainability which should mean that offspring also have a higher likelihood of being smart and easy to train. If you are getting your dog from a breeder, ask to see the papers for the sire and dam of the litter. Verify that both parents are at least 2 years old. Final hip clearances cannot be given before that age. Even if the dog had a hip clearance screening at a younger age, it is still possible for problems to develop that would prevent certification once the dog reached 2 years old. Check the parents' papers to make sure both dogs have hip certification from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals as well as registration from either the Canine Eye Registry Foundation or a current annual eye clearance from a veterinary ophthalmologist. Where will the puppies be born and raised? Will they get regular handling and socialization from a young age? What sorts of experiences will they encounter? At what age will they be allowed to go to their new homes? Puppies should never go to a new home until they are at least 8 weeks of age. In some states, like California, that is the law. It's a good idea to see the puppy with its mother and litter mates. That way you know that the dog was not born in a puppy mill and that the breeder is actually breeding the dogs. Sold as Labrador Retrievers, cross-bred dogs or poorly-bred Labs are commonly found in pet stores. Quite often, pet stores get...

Since nose bleeds can be caused by personal actions, there are some preventative methods that will help you prevent nose bleeds in the future. You should avoid picking your nose. Picking can cause an injury to the inner sensitive blood vessels of the nose. It can also detach the blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels and cause further bleeding. You should also keep your mouth open while sneezing to prevent the expulsion of air through the nose.  You should keep the inner lining of your nose moist by gently applying a coating of petroleum jelly or nasal gel inside your nose with a cotton swab twice a day.  Always blow your nose gently and do it one side at a time. You should also clip the fingernails of children to avoid further injury. To increase the humidity in your environment, you should buy a humidifier. You can use a humidifier at home or work to prevent excessive dryness, especially in the wintertime. If you do not have a humidifier, a metal container with water can be placed on top of heating radiators to humidify the air. Constipation can lead to bearing down to pass hard stool, which causes an increase in nose bleeds because it strains your blood vessels. This can increase arterial pressure momentarily and dislodge blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels, which can eventually result in further nose bleeds. Constipation can be prevented by eating foods high in fiber and increasing your fluid intake. Do not bear down during bowel movements, since this increases the intra-cerebral arterial pressure thereby increasing the chance of small sensitive blood vessel rupture in the nose  Eating 6 to 12 prunes a day are more effective than dietary fibers and can be used to prevent constipation.  You should also avoid hot and spicy foods. Heat can dilate blood vessels and precipitate bleeding. Saline nose sprays can be used several times each day to keep the nose moist. These nasal sprays are not as addictive as they only contain salt. If you don't want to buy them, you can make your...

TL;DR in English: Be gentle on your nose. Buy a humidifier. Increase your fiber intake. Eat fiber to keep stools soft. Use saline nasal sprays. Eat more flavonoids.

Use medium heat. Ghee is clarified butter. If you can't find it at the store, you can make your own. Tadka means "tempering," and involves extracting the essence from spices by heating them in oil or ghee. Here you'll add the cumin seeds, and once they're sizzling, the red chilis and chopped garlic. Sauté them for just a few seconds. Mix well, and serve the khichdi hot! Garnish with cilantro (coriander leaves) if you like.

Fragrances latch onto fibers, so your hair is a great place to smell good for long periods of time.  The perfume also attaches to hair products, such as shampoo and conditioner, making the fragrance last even longer.  Simply mist the spray onto the comb/brush.  You can also apply some perfume with your hand or a towel to the comb/brush.  Run it gently through your hair.  Make sure to get it all over, rather than just in a few spots.  Make sure not to get too much in your hair, otherwise the alcohol in the perfume will dry your hair out. Veins are very close to your skin in this "pulse point."  Put a small amount of perfume on the edge of your fingertips, and dab it behind your ears.  Placing perfume behind your ears gets immediate effects and it best for nighttime perfumes. Your neck/collarbone area has a lot of dips because of the bone structure.  This gives the perfume plenty of room to rest, and interact with your skin.  You can either dab some perfume on with your fingertips, or spray a little on, 5-7 inches away. The back is not the typical place to put perfume.  However, because it is a place entirely covered up by clothes, it has a long shelf life, and not be so overbearing when you go out.  Simply reach your hand around and spritz a couple sprays down your backbone.  You can also get a friend to do it for you if you cannot reach around. Because your knees are constantly moving throughout the day, there is a lot of heat generated.  This works with the perfume, and gradually moves the scent upwards as the day goes on.  Simply dap a bit of perfume with your fingertips behind the knee, or spray about 5-7 inches away. Just like your knees, your elbows are "pulse points" that constantly move throughout the day, generating heat.  Dab some perfume in your elbows with your fingertips, or spray it on 5-7 inches away. This is a rather odd place to put perfume, but it is a great place for your perfume to rest and interact with a "pulse point."  It is also covered up with a shirt, so it is not so overbearing. ...

Place the pie crust on a baking sheet. Pour the filling into the crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Place the pie in the oven (still heated to 350 degrees) and bake it until the filling edges are set, about 50 to 60 minutes (if you had not precooked the pecans, crust and filling then it could take longer). Check it frequently to make sure the crust doesn't burn.  You can cover the edge area of the crust by making and laying a ring of aluminum foil on top of the edge of the crust to prevent it from burning while the filling cooks. Jiggle the pie to test if it's done. If the filling is still too runny, it needs more time. If it moves just a little, it's ready. Let it cool on the counter for about 10 minutes (to serve very warm) or an hour or two to serve cooled. Slice the pie and distribute it onto plates. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
