These types of fascinator bases will provide the most stability. Opt for a 1 in (2.5 cm) or wider headband or a 3 in (7.6 cm) hair clip. Avoid using combs and small clips because these may not be strong enough to keep the fascinator on your head. Make sure the headband or hair clip does not have any bumps, glitter, or other items on its surface that might make it hard to glue your fascinator in place. Opt for a plain, smooth-surfaced headband or hair clip. If using a headband, apply enough glue to cover the diameter of your felt base, and position the line of glue so that it is slightly off to the side you want to wear the fascinator on.  For example, if you want to wear the fascinator so it tilts to the right, apply the line of glue starting at the center of the headband and going to the right. Do not apply hot glue to the inside of the hair clip, or you may not be able to reopen it. Press the bottom of the felt disc onto the line of glue on the headband immediately after you apply it. Hot glue dries quickly! Hold the felt base tightly against the headband or hair clip for about 30 seconds to ensure that it is completely dry. Your fascinator is complete after the glue is dry! Try it on and see how it looks.

TL;DR in English: Opt for a headband or large metal hair clip to secure your fascinator base. Apply a thick line of hot glue to the top of the headband or hair clip. Press the felt disc onto the headband or barrette.

Sleep is essential for your body to heal itself, so tell your doctor if diarrhea is making it hard for you to sleep. Your doctor may be able to prescribe something to help you sleep. If your diarrhea is chronic (lasts more than four weeks), then you may need to take medication or make lifestyle changes to help get it under control. You may also need to see a specialist called a gastroenterologist if your diarrhea is chronic and often interferes with your sleep. Diarrhea is unpleasant, but most of the time it is not an indication of a serious condition. However, you should go to the doctor if you have:  Diarrhea that lasts over two days Symptoms of dehydration like infrequent urination, dark or cloudy urine, dry skin, exhaustion, headache, nausea, and dizziness Serious pain your belly or rectum A fever of 102 F or greater Bowel movements that include blood or pus Black or tarry stool Children, particularly infants, are very vulnerable to dehydration. Get your child checked by a doctor if you observe:  Diarrhea that continues for more than a day Signs of dehydration such as dry mouth, dry tongue, no tears during crying, no urination for 3 hours, fever, listlessness, irritability, or sunken eyes, cheeks, or soft spot in the skull A fever of 102 F or greater Stool that has blood or pus or is black and tarry

TL;DR in English: Call your doctor if diarrhea is interfering with your sleep. See a doctor if your diarrhea doesn't go away. Bring your child to the doctor if he or she has severe diarrhea.

By making a list of your goals, whether it simply be losing five pounds or being able to run a mile under a certain time, having your goals written out may help you stick to them long-term.  Write your goals down, and keep them in plain sight so you are reminded about what all your hard work is going toward each day. Be as specific as possible. Instead of just saying "lose weight," say "lose X pounds by December." Make sure your goals are realistic and timely.  You may need to make multiple goals until you reach a larger, more long-term goal.  Keep track of your progress towards your goals in a journal or a sheet of paper you tack to the fridge.  Seeing how far you've come may help keep you motivated and working harder to achieve your long-term goals. By decreasing the amount calories you eat each day may help you lose weight and reduce your total amount of body fat.  The prescribed calorie deficit ranges from 500–750 each day.  This amount will be different for everyone based on how many calories you are currently eating and how fast you want to reach your weight goals.  It's not wise to cut too many calories or eat less than about 1,200 calories daily.  If you do not eat enough (especially if you're working out) you're more likely to lose lean muscle mass rather than fat. You may need to test out a few different calorie levels until you find the right balance for your body, lifestyle, and activity levels.  For example, if you notice you're not losing weight at all, you may need to eat fewer calories daily.  If you're feeling tired, fatigued, or notice your athletic performance is suffering, you may not be eating enough. Talk with your physician or a registered dietitian for advice on how to lose weight and build lean muscle mass. They can tell you more about exercise plans, diet plans, and give you warnings about any health issues which might arise.  If you have a heart condition, asthma, or any other health conditions you feel may inhibit your ability to lose weight, consult with your doctor immediately....

TL;DR in English: Set realistic goals for yourself. Determine your daily calorie intake. Consult with your doctor. Set up a weekly plan.

A mnemonic is a device used to remember lists in a creative and catchy way. One of the most common forms is by creating a word mnemonic. To create a word mnemonic, you use the first letter of each word on your list and create a new separate word or phrase. The aim of creating a mnemonic is to make it memorable so you can have an easier time at recalling the list when you need it. Mnemonics can be used for any type of list, ranging from remembering the order of the planets of the solar system to recalling the order of the operations of math, as other common lists we need to know. Here are some common examples that are used:  For the order of math operations, the common approach is the mnemonic, Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally. Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Addition, and Subtraction.  For remembering the bones in the wrist, a common mnemonic is, Never Lick Tilly’s Popsicle, Mother Might Come Home. Navicular, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform, Multongular, Multongular, Capitate, Hamate.   Another form of mnemonic is called an expression mnemonic. It works similar to the word mnemonic only you arrange the letters to remember the order of the list. For example to remember the order of the solar system from the sun outward, we use: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Creating a catchy jingle is an effective way to recall information. Maybe you have a favorite song or tune that goes perfectly with a list that you need to remember. Popular lists that are connected to a song are the ABC’s and the “50 Nifty United States” song to recall the order of states. Using visuals to link different objects in a list helps you connect each item as you recall them. If you can think of powerful, creative visuals to associate with each image, you have a better chance at remembering your list.  For example, take four items you need to remember. The list is as follows: a pencil, a wallet, a candle, and a bracelet. Next, link each object to the next in a creative and visual way. Link the...

TL;DR in English: Create a mnemonic. Put the list to a song. Create a linking system. Put the list into chunks.

Any fringe benefit provided to you (the employee) is taxable unless the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) specifically excludes it from taxation. The good news is that there are quite a few exclusions you can use. If a benefit is excluded, it will not be subject to federal income tax and will not be included on your W-2. A list of excluded benefits can be found on the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) website and includes:  Health benefits; Adoption assistance; Educational assistance; Stock options; Retirement planning services; and Many others. Some exclusions have limits, and if you receive a benefit in excess of that limit, you will be taxed on the excess. These special rules are laid out on the IRS's website. For example:  Achievement awards are excluded up to $1,600. Dependent care assistance is excluded up to $5,000. Meals are exempt only if they are furnished on the business's premises for your convenience. Moving expenses are exempt only if you would be able to deduct them had you paid for them. If you cannot exclude a fringe benefit you receive, you will have to put a value on it. In most cases, you will use the FMV. In some cases, you may not be able to use the FMV. The most common example of this is with employer-provided vehicles. If you have an employer provided vehicle, you may have to calculate the value of the benefit in one of the following ways:  The cents-per-mile rule. Under this rule, you multiply the standard mileage rate by the total miles the employee drives the car for personal purposes. The commuting rule. Under this rule, you multiply each one-way commute (from home to work and from work to home) by $1.50. The lease value rule. Under this rule, you use a vehicle's annual lease value. Once you have determined what benefits are excluded and what has to be valued, you will then add all of your benefit values together that cannot be excluded. This is considered the total taxable amount of fringe benefits. When you do your federal income tax return, you will add your taxable fringe benefits to...

TL;DR in English: Find the fringe benefits that are excluded from taxes. Consider the limits of tax exclusions. Use the general valuation rule for fringe benefits you can't exclude. Look for special cases. Add up all of your calculations. Add the value of your taxable fringe benefits to your regular wages.

Put the eggnog, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Break the eggs into the same bowl. Whisk these ingredients together until well blended. Pour the mixture into a wide, shallow dish. Take a nonstick skillet and coat it with butter or nonstick spray. Put it on the stove over medium heat. If you have an electric skillet, set the temperature to 300 degrees. Cut your French loaf into 12 even pieces. Each piece of bread should be about 1 to 1 1⁄2 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm) thick. Take a piece of bread and dip it in the egg mixture. Move the piece of bread around to make sure the side is coated. Flip the piece of bread over, coating the other side in the same way.  You can leave your bread in the mixture anywhere from 10 seconds to 1 minute. The longer you let it set, the more your bread will soak in the mixture. If you like bready French toast, don't let it soak too long. If you like moist French toast, let it soak longer. You can cut your pieces either thickness. The thicker the piece, the more bready your piece of French toast will be. Depending on how long your loaf is, you may have leftover bread. Take your coated bread and place it into your pan. Let it cook on this side until it is golden brown. Flip the bread over. Let it cook on this side until it is golden brown as well. Remove from the pan and place aside. Continue with each piece of bread until you have made them all. Top with syrup and butter or powdered sugar.  This recipe makes 6 servings. If you want to keep your toast warm while you cook, cover the plate of toast with aluminum foil or place in a warmed oven.

TL;DR in English:


Be confident. Tell him when you appreciate the things he does. Stay independent. Surprise him with things he likes. Make him feel like a man. Keep flirting with him. Match his commitment level.

This could be a sign that your chronic diarrhea may be a symptom of a more serious medical condition. You should seek medical treatment as soon as possible if you notice any blood or mucus in your stool, or your child’s stool.  You should also see a doctor if your child has diarrhea and/or a fever that lasts longer than 24 hours. Bring your child to the doctor if she has these symptoms and is not drinking or urinating at all. The doctor will do a physical examination and take a stool sample. The stool sample will allow your doctor to determine if the diarrhea is the result of a parasite infection. Chronic diarrhea can be caused by a parasite infection, or a chronic medical issue like Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Your diarrhea may also be due to an intolerance to certain food products.  Ask your doctor to test for intolerances for gluten, high-fructose corn syrup, lactose, and casein. Symptoms of IBS include: abdominal pain and cramping, mucus in the stool, bloating, the feeling that you haven't finished a bowl movement.  Symptoms of Crohn's Disease include: abdominal pain and cramping, weight loss, fatigue, loss of appetite, fever, rash.  You may also have a malabsorption syndrome, which includes Celiac disease, lactose intolerance, short bowel syndrome, Whipple's disease, and different genetic diseases and medicines. The symptoms for these are varied, so speak with your doctor in-depth about symptoms you are experiencing along with your diarrhea. If your diarrhea is due to dietary issues, your doctor may recommend that you avoid certain food products.  Your doctor may prescribe medications such as antibiotics or anti-parasitic medications if the diarrhea is due to a parasite. She may also recommend you go on IV fluid replacement if you cannot drink enough fluids to stay hydrated. Your doctor may recommend you take anti-diarrheal medications. Over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medications include Loperamide (Imodium) and Bismuth subsalicylate (Kaopectate, Pepto-Bismol)....

TL;DR in English: Go to the doctor if there is blood or mucus in your stool. Ask your doctor about the possible causes of your chronic diarrhea. Discuss treatment options with your doctor.

Generally speaking several bowel movements per day is considered more than normal, especially if this changes suddenly.  Increased bowel movements or changes in the consistency, volume, or appearance of poop can indicate an underlying medical condition. Be prepared to inform your healthcare provider about your bowel habits, and the typical consistency, frequency, and appearance of your poop. Celiac disease involves an immune reaction to gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye products. You should follow a gluten-free diet. Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory disease of the bowel. It is a disorder that can affect any part of the bowel from mouth to anus. Hyperthyroidism, also called overactive thyroid, can cause diarrhea and changes in bowel movement frequency. Hypothyroidism can cause constipation. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can cause constipation and diarrhea. You may also have issues with your skin, joints, eyes, and bones. Ulcerative colitis is another kind of inflammatory bowel disease that usually affects only the colon. Blood tends to be associated with this disorder. Many medications can cause changes in bowel movement frequency.

TL;DR in English: Know when you are pooping too much. Seek medical attention if your bowel movements are accompanied by abdominal pain, mucus, pus, or blood. Understand diseases that can cause increased frequency of bowel movements.

Non-bullous impetigo is the most common type of the disorder, and it manifests with tiny blisters that become red sores on the skin. These sores are filled with a yellow or honey-colored fluid. After a few days, these sores rupture and ooze pus for several days.  After a few days, the blisters will turn into into brownish crusted areas.  The sores are most commonly found around the mouth or nose, but they may also occur on other areas of the body such as the arms and hands. Bullous impetigo is a less common form of impetigo, usually caused by the bacteria S. aureus. It creates larger blisters that are less likely to burst. The blisters in bullous impetigo may be found on the chest, abdomen, and diaper area of young children and babies. A third, more severe type of impetigo is ecthyma, which is often caused by Streptococcus bacteria. It may also be caused by Staphylococcus or "staph" bacteria. It often begins on the legs.  Ecthyma is sometimes called "deep impetigo" because its symptoms are similar to other types of impetigo, but they occur deeper into the skin. Look for small, red-bordered blisters. These blisters are often filled with pus and may look like they're very deep in the skin. After the blisters burst, you will see ulcers with thick, brownish-black crusts. This type of impetigo is much more painful.  The ulcers from ecthyma will look "punched out" (well defined) around the borders, and the surrounding skin is often red and calloused. Unlike blisters, these ulcers will not heal or go away on their own. If you think you or your child has impetigo, the best course of action is to visit the doctor. The doctor can help ascertain that the rash on you or your child is, in fact, impetigo, as well as prescribe you the best medication. The rash is extremely contagious, so try to avoid touching the rash if possible. Wash your hands with antibacterial soap if you do touch the rash. This rash is often caused by variations of the staphylococcus bacteria (staph), which is why it is so contagious. However, it can...

TL;DR in English: Look for red sores. Look on the body for larger blisters. Check the leg area. Visit the doctor. Avoid touching it.

Abuse from a partner can come in several forms beyond the physical abuse many people often think of when hearing the term domestic abuse. Your partner’s verbal interactions with you would be considered abusive if she:   Calls you names, insults you or belittles you Blames any outburst on you and says you deserve to be treated this way Intimidates you into not seeing family or friends by yelling or making threats Turns the blame on you whenever you try to bring up a problem (For example, you try to tell her that she's hurt your feelings, and somehow you end up being the one apologizing) Belittles you by accusing you of being gay or unable to perform sexually in front of others to hurt you Engages in behaviors that attempt to isolate you and keep what happens at home a secret In gaslighting, your partner manipulates you to try to get you to doubt your own sanity, and rely on her for knowing what is and isn't real. She may accuse you of making things up or overreacting, and try to make you believe that you can't tell fact from fiction.   Saying "I never said/did that" or "that never happened" Moving things around, and denying that anything has changed Telling you to stop overreacting when you mention a problem Calling you crazy or a liar (She may also say this about you to other people, to try to make them not listen to you) Threatening behaviors can be very subtle or in-your-face obvious. The threat may be physical, emotionally-based or tied to sex. Examples of behaviors that would be considered threatening would include:  Telling you if you try to leave she will call the police to have you arrested for domestic violence or some other sort of crime you did not commit. Using your fear of losing contact with your kids to keep you in the home by telling you that you will never see your kids again if you act in a way she does not like. Not allowing you to have contact with your family or friends unless you agree to her demands or cover up arguments you have had. Threatening to harm herself or someone else if you...

TL;DR in English: Consider how your partner talks to you. Notice gaslighting. Question whether your girlfriend or wife is threatening you. Think about whether your partner often tries to control you. Think about whether your partner has ever struck you physically. Know that abuse can be carried out sexually, too. Consider if your interactions form a recurring cycle.

Ceramic and art suppliers usually stock several kinds of clay. You can mix various kinds of clay together if you find that a certain kind is too difficult to work with. For instance, add coarser clay to clay that is too sticky, or more pliable clay to another variety that is too coarse to work with. It is important to work with your palms when kneading clay. If you push at it with your fingertips, this can create impressions in the clay that can form air pockets as you continue to knead. These air pockets can ruin a form when you try to mold it. Start your wheel slowly. This helps to ensure that your clay is well-attached to the bat. As you shape and raise the form, take care not to spin the wheel so fast that it warps the clay. Setting an appropriate speed will also prevent your clay from flying off your wheel, ruining your project. If your arms wobble as you shape the clay, the form will become warped or slide off-center. To prevent this from happening, anchor your arms by holding your elbows against your knees as you work. Keep your arms firm as you shape and raise the clay. If your hands or the clay become too dry while molding it, your form may become misshapen or ruined. The goal is to keep a wet, slick surface as you mold the clay. Make sure to wet your hands before starting to mold the clay, and wet them again any time they start to become dry. If you are molding clay and something goes wrong, you can start over. However, you must remove the clay from your wheel or work surface and wedge it again. Knead in more clay if you need to alter its consistency (for instance, if it is too wet). Your hands and fingers alone are often enough to mold clay into desired forms. However, you may find that various tools make molding easier, or just give you more options. For instance, using a sponge instead of just your fingers to raise clay on a wheel may allow you to make smoother or thinner sides. As you practice, don’t be afraid to experiment with all sorts of objects to help mold your clay.

TL;DR in English: Mix clays to improve consistency. Keep your fingertips out of the clay when kneading. Don’t set the wheel speed too high. Anchor your arms. Keep your hands and the clay wet. Re-wedge your clay if needed. Try different tools to raise and shape clay.

Guys love it when their partner is confident and bold. Take good care of yourself, and make an effort to look as good as you feel. Focus on the things that make you special, and emphasize those qualities. Don’t take him for granted. Let him know you really love how he stays calm in stressful situations, or that you especially appreciated that he cleaned the kitchen after he made dinner. Even if he doesn’t say anything, this will make him feel good about himself. You don’t want to lose yourself in a relationship, and you don’t want him to lose himself either. If you both stay independent by continuing to participate in your hobbies and spending time with your friends, you’ll have more to talk about and you’ll both respect each other more in the long run. As the two of you are getting to know each other better, make sure to ask him questions about what he likes. When he talks about that one thing that really makes his eyes light up, take note and try to find out more. Then, surprise him with a gift that shows you were listening, like a tee time at that ultra-exclusive golf course he mentioned. Making your guy feel like a big, strong man doesn’t mean you have to pretend to be weak. Build him up by giving him compliments that make him feel good about himself, or let him be chivalrous by holding the door open for you. When you boost his ego, he’ll want to spend more time around you. Flirting doesn’t have to stop just because you start dating. In fact, it’s more important than ever to keep doing the cute, flirty things that got him interested. Playfully touch him on the arm, brush up against him while you’re doing dishes together, or give him that look that lets him know you’re thinking of more than just what movie to watch. If he’s just coming around to the idea of being exclusive, you probably shouldn’t be shopping for monogrammed towels. This can make him feel overwhelmed and he’ll likely back away. If he’s sending mixed signals, back off and let him come to you.

Position your baby in the carrier. Adjust the height. Release your breast. Place your baby on your breast. Offer your baby your breast. Support your baby’s head. Cover your breasts if desired.

Since super heroes are generally identified by their powers, it makes perfect sense to think of the powers first and then shape the character to fit them. A huge number of superpowers have already been claimed by other characters, so try to come up with something unique.  Consider giving the hero multiple powers, like flight and super strength. A mix of powers might help differentiate your new hero from other ones that already exist. Some superheroes don’t have supernatural powers and instead rely on gadgets and training, like Batman and Black Widow. Their dedication commands respect, but also makes them more vulnerable—and possibly more interesting. A tragic or “fatal” flaw is essentially a character trait or quality that your hero grapples with on a regular basis. An invulnerable hero can get old fast. By giving him or her a fatal weakness, you make battles more interesting and make fans more invested in the character. For example, Superman's weakness is kryptonite, while Batman’s tragic flaw is his obsession with seeking justice after seeing his parents murdered. Flaws or weaknesses can be emotional, psychological, or physical. Your super hero might have two separate identities: his everyday identity, and his hero identity. These two lives might entail separate personalities and traits. Work out what traits your hero possess in each form. Consider diving your superhero an alter ego, (i.e. Superman and Clark Kent). This can add dimension and make your character more interesting to readers. It’s doubtful you’ll be able to find traits or powers that haven’t already been taken by someone somewhere, so just be sure to tweak it enough that you don’t directly rip off another character. For example, if you want to give your hero Superman’s powers, give him a different name and a different backstory. That way, your hero is different and original. If you’re creating your own superhero, you are probably pretty familiar with the standard traits and qualities of popular superheroes. Rather than making yours just like...

TL;DR in English: Choose your superhero’s powers. Give your superhero a tragic flaw or weakness. Flesh out your character’s personalities. Avoid copying other existing characters. Try making your hero different from other superheroes.

Use a spoon, spatula, or your hands to combine the mixture, but don’t break up the crab meat into very small pieces in the process. Add the following:  1 lb (450 g) fresh or packaged crab meat, picked free of shell parts 3 green onions, finely chopped 0.5 c (120 g) of finely-chopped bell pepper 0.25  c (59 ml) of mayonnaise 1 large egg 1  tsp (4.9 ml) of Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp (5 g) of dry mustard 1 tsp (5 g) of salt Dash of cayenne pepper 0.25 tsp (1.25 g) of garlic powder Juice of ½ lemon Start by mixing in about 2 tbsp (30 g) of cracker crumbs, then see if you can form the mixture into a patty. If it’s still too loose, add another 1 tbsp (15 g) and try again.  Try to add just enough cracker crumbs to bind the mixture together. If you add too much, the crab cakes may end up with a dry texture. You will probably use about 0.33 cup (80 g) of cracker crumbs total. Letting the mixture chill for half an hour helps meld the flavors and makes it easier to form it into patties. However, you’ll still get good results if you don’t have the time for this step. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap before putting it in the refrigerator. Otherwise, the mixture may pick up unwanted smells from inside the fridge. Scoop up a small handful of the mixture and use your two hands to cup and pat it into a disc shape similar to a hockey puck. To get 4-6 patties from this recipe, aim to make each patty roughly 4 in (10 cm) in diameter and 1 in (2.5 cm) thick. To end up with 8-12 appetizer-sized patties instead, make them about 2 in (5.1 cm) in diameter and about 0.75 in (1.9 cm) thick. Gently drop each patty into a shallow bowl containing about 0.5 c (120 g) of flour. Flip the patty over in the bowl so both sides get a nice coating of flour on them. Alternatively, you can lay the patties out on a tray, sprinkle flour over one side of each patty, then flip them all over and dust the other sides with flour. Add 0.5  c (120 ml) of peanut, canola, or vegetable oil to the skillet and allow it to heat on the stovetop for 3-5 minutes....

TL;DR in English: Mix the crab meat and other ingredients in a medium bowl. Add just enough cracker crumbs for a chunky paste consistency. Refrigerate the bowl of crab cake mixture for 30 minutes (optional). Shape the crab cake mixture into round patties. Dredge the crab cakes in flour. Preheat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the crab cakes into the skillet, without crowding them. Cook the cakes for about 5 minutes, then flip them carefully. Cook the flipped cakes for 4-5 minutes. Lift out the crab cakes and lay them on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve the crab cakes with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or your favorite sauce.

Some believe Leos have a naturally fun-loving nature and look for significant others to match. When planning dates with a Leo, embrace your inner child. Instead of the conventional dinner and a movie, find something fun and unexpected to do.  For example, try doing something like mini golf or laser tag. A Leo will be delighted by these childlike games. Also, be spontaneous with dates. Surprise your Leo man with tickets to a concert at the last minute. Astrologers believe Leo men admire people who push themselves outside their comfort zone. If you want to keep a Leo man interested, do things that scare you a little on each date. If you're afraid of heights, for example, opt to get on the ferris wheel at a carnival.This is bound to impress a Leo man. Believers in astrology feel Leo men love to socialize, so don't do anything to hamper your Leo man's need to get out. Say yes to parties, concerts, and other events to keep your Leo man happy and entertained. Make sure not to take up all of your Leo man's attention at events. Leos like to socialize with a wide circle, so hang back while he talks to others at parties.

TL;DR in English: Embrace spontaneous, silly fun. Plan dates where you take risks. Go out frequently.

Like starting a conversation for dating, you should always check out his profile for common ground, even if you're trying to become friends. If it doesn't have public information, ask him about it. If you just want a friend, you don't want to send a signal that you want something more. In other words, don't flirt. You don't want to comment it on his cute eyes if you just want to be friends. Say why you're contacting the person and what you want: "Hi, my name is Jake, and I'm looking for new friends in the area." People like to talk about themselves, so ask him about what he likes and who he is. As an example, you could say, "Hi, I noticed your profile today, and I found it interesting. Can you tell me more about yourself?" When beginning a conversation, open-ended questions (questions that require more than a "yes" or "no" to answer) encourage the conversation to continue. For example, instead of asking "Do you like books?" ask him "What kind of books do you like to read?" For instance, if you both like basketball, focus on that. For instance, you could say, "Hi, I'm Ashley. I see you love playing basketball. I love to shoot hoops, too. Did you play for your high school or college team?" That is, use "howdy" or "what's up?" as opposed to "hi" or "hello." Studies done by OkCupid show a person is more likely to respond to an unusual word.

TL;DR in English: Peruse his profile first. Keep it casual. Try being straightforward. Ask him about himself. Use open-ended questions. Focus on common interests. Try an usual word as a greeting.

Any air that gets into the bottle will cause the ink to harden and dry. The longer you leave the bottle open, the thicker the ink will become. Even though the ink is inside the pen capsule, you'll still want to keep the cap on. Not only will this prevent the pen from leaking, but it will also keep ink from drying out on the nib too fast. It the ink dries on the nib, you might end up with a blockage. From time to time, you might want to open up your bottle of correction fluid, and wipe the neck part, right where the threads are. Soak a folded paper towel with some nail polish remover and wipe it around the neck. This will remove any excess ink that might have dried up on the neck of the bottle. It will help keep the cap tightly closed and prevent any air from getting inside. Every so often, run the pen across some paper. You can also scratch off any ink that is starting to dry on the ball point with your fingernail. This will help prevent any blockages. The tip should be pointing upward. If you store it on its side or upside down, the ink may flow into the nib and dry out. Keep it out of sunlight and heat, as both can cause the ink to dry and harden.

TL;DR in English: Keep the lid on the bottle when you are not using it. Keep a correction pen capped. Consider wiping the inside neck of the bottle with nail polish remover. Consider cleaning the nib of a correction ink pen from time to time. Store correction ink pens upright in a jar. Keep the correction fluid in a cool, dry place.

If your baby likes to nurse in an upright position, a structured carrier may be the best choice for you. Pass your baby’s arms and legs through the openings and then, together with the stretcher, pull the carrier to your chest. Set the straps on your shoulders, and hold your baby with one hand while you fasten the carrier with the other. Loosen the straps until your baby is lowered to the desired height, with his or her head against your chest. Always hold onto your baby with one hand, and be sure to secure the carrier well after you adjust it. If you have a shirt with buttons, undo them until you can fit your breast through the hole; otherwise, you can simply lift your shirt above your breast. Remove your bra, or lift your breast over the bra cup. Nursing bras can be tremendously helpful; they make it much easier to provide your baby access.

Have all of your facial supplies ready so you're not scrambling around hot water while the steam escapes. You can easily set up your steam facial in the kitchen (nearest the hot water) or the bathroom. You'll need:  A kettle Water 3 to 7 drops of essential oils A thick clean towel A large basin or bowl Fill the kettle with clean water and bring it to a boil. Pour the boiled water into a heat safe bowl or basin. Add your essential oils to the water. Take care when pouring the water or moving the bowl. If you boil the water in the microwave, make sure to place a wooden spoon, utensil, or chopstick into the water. This prevents the water from super-heating which can cause an explosion. Place the basin on a table so you can sit in a chair and lean over the steaming bowl. With your head over the basin, place the towel so that it's draped over the back of your head and completely over the bowl. This will prevent steam from escaping. Be careful not to lean too close to the hot water. Deeply breathe in the steam for 5 to 10 minutes, or as long as the steam lasts. If you need to, you can re-heat the water to get it steaming again. You can reuse the water until it boils dry, adding more essential oils only if you add more water. Since the steam opens your pores, you'll need to rinse your face with cold water when you've finished the steam facial. Cold water acts as an astringent which closes the pores. To further moisturize your skin, apply lotion as soon as you're done with the facial.

TL;DR in English: Gather your supplies. Prepare the water. Lean your face over the bowl or basin. Breathe in the steam. Rinse your face.

Your invisible thread will be one strand from a thread woven of several strands.  Most people use black woolly nylon, but some people will use green or dark blue.  Wooly nylon is strong with a little elasticity.  Choose a thread which is a matte color as opposed to glossy, which is more likely to reflect light. Consider the lighting and the background the thread will be used with to help choose your color. You will want to have these handy to help you hold your thread and not lose it.  Break a small piece of Scotch tape from the dispenser.  Roll this into a circle with the sticky side facing out.  Attach the two ends of the circle together and press this onto your worktable. Work on a white table or board to make it easier to see the invisible thread. Each piece of string is made up of many smaller threads woven together.  Rub the cut edge of your string to separate these threads.  You can buy this thread at craft stores or find thread in your own pieces of clothing. Consider cutting thread from an old shirt, shoelaces, or sport socks. Pinch this single strand of thread between your thumb and forefinger and gently pull it up and and out from the top of the string.

TL;DR in English: Choose your thread. Roll two pieces of clear Scotch tape and attach them to your work table. Cut a piece of nylon string and fray the edge. Choose one of the small threads within your string.

Even if your teacher doesn't do anything to latecomers, it is disrespectful and you might miss something. Get up early to prepare for class.  If you tend to lose track of time, set an alarm for when it's time to leave. This can help you track your assignments, appointments, and other to-dos.   You may decide to use an app like Habitica or ToDoIst to track what you need to do. Digital calendars can help you track things. While some professors don't take attendance, showing up is still important to your grade. Your professor may talk about things that aren't in the textbook, and will show up on the exam. They may also explain things better than the textbook does.   If you're sick, email a classmate to ask for the notes. You can also show up during office hours later to ask about what you missed. It's silly to spend thousands of dollars on school, and then not show up. That is a waste of your money. if you have a disability. Many professors are happy to accommodate your needs. You can give them a heads-up after class or during office hours at the beginning of the school year.   Your school's disability center can help get you accommodations, such as a private room for tests, extra time on tests, a sign language interpreter, or seating up front. "Disability" doesn't only mean blindness or needing a wheelchair. Anxiety, ADHD, depression, chronic fatigue, Tourette syndrome, autism/Asperger syndrome, dyslexia, and more count as disabilities you can get accommodations for. Don't be afraid of getting accommodations. They're meant to remove barriers so that you can succeed just like the other students can. A lot of teachers plan out the material ahead of time, so you can keep track of assignments more easily. Find out what textbooks you need ahead of time, so you aren't stuck with ridiculous college store prices or waiting on shipping. Some teachers are ruthless about having the textbooks on time.

This method actually works a little better when your hair isn't freshly washed. Wait until it has been a day or so since your last shampoo. If you want to spruce up your roots, use dry shampoo instead of wetting your hair. Squirt some extra-strength gel onto your hand and run it up the section of hair from the roots to the tips. Hold it in place for a moment to make sure it stays spiked. Grab a section of hair at a time and apply the gel in the same way. Make the spikes even, or alternate smaller spikes with larger ones. Continue until you've made as many spikes as you desire. For extra hold, spray the spikes with some hair spray before you go about your day. Wearing a headband could also help to hold them in place.

TL;DR in English: Start with dry hair. Grab a section of hair and apply gel. Continue spiking your hair. Help it set.

The length of the pipe determines the key that it plays. To make a flute that plays in the key of A, cut a 14 inch length of pipe.  For an F flute, cut it to 18 inches, and for a key of D cut it to 21 inches.  Choose a section of bamboo with joints that are a little bit more than half as far apart as the intended length of the instrument.  For instance, if you want a 14 inch flute, the nodes should be a little more than 7 inches apart from each other. In other words, there should be a little more than 7 inches of tube between each node. The aim is to cut it so that there is a node at the end and another node more or less in the middle. You want the flute to have a node at one end and another more or less in the middle after you cut it to size. It should have at least one. Wrap a piece of masking tape around the area that you want to cut, then cut it with the hacksaw. The tape helps stop the bamboo from splintering. Cut outside of the node. Don’t cut into it.

TL;DR in English: Cut the pipe to the length you want based on the key.

Common chickweed is found throughout the world, and has been reported in every American state. The plant is an annual, meaning it blooms in the spring and dies in the winter. Common chickweed has a high resilience to cold weather, and sometimes will last through a mild winter. Since it is so common and strong of a plant, it can be found in almost every climate. Look for it where it grows. Common places include the roadside, gardens, vacant lots, and grasslands. It is one of the most common weeds found in lawns. Common chickweed prefers low-leveled areas that accumulates water easily. You're even more likely to find common chickweed in a wooded area that's prone to flooding. Check around your house or neighborhood for low leveled areas that fit this description. Common chickweed is an invasive species that prefers areas with a history of disturbance, similar to poison ivy. Areas with a history of disturbance include places where the natural ecology has been disturbed like: farming areas, lawns, trails, or fielded areas. Common chickweed prospers in nutrient-rich areas that may be disturbed or receives plenty of water. Other areas that chickweed is commonly spotted is on walls, new plantations, sewage plants, and near animal manure. It has also been reported along coastal strand-lines of beeches and lakes. The entire plant is edible and can be used in salads or cooked with other meals. The top of the plant is the best, as the base is woody or stringy. There are also topical benefits from the plant, such as helping a rash. Crush up the plant and rub onto areas of your skin, such as a rash or breakout. If you are experiencing an allergic reaction, chickweed won’t substitute proper medical support.

TL;DR in English: Know chickweed’s climate. Look for chickweed’s common areas. Identify areas prone to flooding. Check lawns or croplands. Seek common chickweed in other areas. Harvest the chickweed.

Domestic violence isn’t limited to physical abuse. Emotional and psychological abuse doesn’t usually leave outward signs, but it is just as damaging. The following are some examples of emotional abuse to look for:  Humiliation or intentional embarrassment. This may occur in public, as the abuser usually doesn’t believe s/he is doing anything wrong. Calling someone “stupid,” “crazy,” or “ugly” are common types of verbal humiliation. Abusers may constantly put their partners down or discuss private or embarrassing things in public to upset their partners. Shouting or screaming. This is a warning sign, especially when it seems uncontrolled or violent. Constant criticism. An abusive person will “nitpick” even the smallest things. S/he may criticize your loved one’s appearance, weight, clothing, spending habits, hobbies, etc.  Extreme possessiveness. Abusers are extremely jealous and controlling. Their statements may sound “romantic” at first, such as “I can’t live without ______” or “_______ is everything to me.” They don’t have any sense of boundaries and appear to believe that they should be the only people in their loved one’s lives.  Ignoring or dismissing the other person. Abusers dominate all areas of the relationship. They don’t listen to their partner’s suggestions, ideas, or needs. They are often very dismissive of these, or may become angry if the other person tries to share something. Abusers will commonly threaten their victims to keep them under their control. These threats are designed to keep the victim from leaving because s/he feels responsible for the abuser’s actions. Abusers may:  Confiscate, destroy or threaten to destroy the victim’s property Threaten to harm pets Threaten to harm or kill themselves Threaten to harm or kill their partner Threaten to harm or kill their children Abused people often are not allowed to have friends or socialize with coworkers. If they do go out with other people, their abusers will usually demand frequent "check-ins" or place restrictions on who they can...

The recommendations below are based on normal dosages only. No matter which product you choose, be aware of the following:  It's best to talk to a doctor or dermatologist before taking any medication while pregnant. This is especially true if you are already taking other medication. Use only as recommended. Most products are intended for daily or twice-daily use only. Don't use two or more products with the same active ingredients. Some ingredients used to treat acne are also in other skin care products. Avoid face or body peels, which increase the amount of drug absorbed. Glycolic acids and other alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are considered safe to use topically while pregnant. Very little of the drug is absorbed through the skin. Topical treatments are drugs that go directly onto your skin: lotions, gels, facial washes, etc. Oral treatments (pills) carry much higher risk. Do not take oral acne treatments during pregnancy unless directed by a doctor. The US FDA places azelaic acid in pregnancy category B. This means there is no known risk, but the drug has not been studied on pregnant women. It is considered safe when used as directed.  This drug requires a prescription in some regions, including the US. This drug is commonly sold as Finacea. Acne is often associated with excessive skin bacteria. Topical antibacterials (antibiotics) can help treat this condition. Clindamycin and erythromycin, two of the most common options, are both in pregnancy category B. They are considered safe to use during pregnancy. You'll need a prescription in most regions. If you do find an over-the-counter drug, confirm the other active ingredients are safe as well. These drugs are often combined with higher-risk ingredients. Salicylic acid and other beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) are in FDA pregnancy category C. This means the FDA has not ruled out risk to the fetus. That said, some doctors consider these drugs safe in topical form, at no more than 2% concentration. Salicylic acid is often confused with aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid),...

TL;DR in English: Avoid high-dose or long-exposure treatments. Try topical glycolic acid. Consider topical azelaic acid. Request a prescription for topical antibacterials. Treat salicylic acid and BHAs with caution. Ask a doctor about benzoyl peroxide. Avoid high-risk treatments.

One of the best ways to improve your English listening comprehension is to download English-language podcasts or radio apps on your phone or MP3 player.  You should then make an effort to listen to the podcasts or radio shows for at least 30 minutes per day. Do it in the gym, on your commute to work, or while you're sitting at your computer. Make an effort to understand what's being said, don't just let the English wash over you. Even if you find it too fast, try to pick out key words and phrases to get a general idea of what the conversation is about. If you can, make a note of any words or phrases that you don't understand and look up the translation afterwards. Then listen to the podcast or show again to hear the new words or phrases in context. Another fun way to improve your listening comprehension is to watch English movies and TV shows.  Try to pick movies or TV shows that you will enjoy -- this will make the exercise feel like less of a chore. If possible, choose movies or shows that you are already familiar with, such as children's cartoons or blockbuster films. If you already know the basic story you will find the language much easier to pick up on. However, you should avoid watching movies or television shows with subtitles in your native language -- they will only distract you and make you less inclined to focus on understanding the English, which is the whole point of the exercise. Reading is an essential part of learning a new language, so don't forget to practice!  Find something you are really interested in -- whether that's a famous English novel, The New York Times or a fashion magazine and start working your way through it. If you find the content boring, you will be less inclined to persevere with it. Again, make an active effort to actually understand what you're reading, don't just skim over it. Highlight any words or phrases that you don't understand, then look them up in the dictionary. If you're alone, you could also try reading aloud -- this will allow you to improve your reading...

TL;DR in English: Listen to English radio or podcasts. Watch English movies and TV shows. Read an English book, newspaper or magazine. Keep a diary in English. Find an English-speaking pen-pal.

your goldfish daily. Goldfish don’t need a lot of food but they do need some every day. If you just have 1 goldfish, a tiny pinch of fish food flakes 2-3 times a day will suffice. If you have more than once goldfish, you will need to add more flakes to the tank. In general, only feed your goldfish as much food as they can consume in 2-3 minutes. If food remains on the surface after that point, try to give them less next feeding time. No matter how much they beg, resist the urge to feed your fish more that 2-3 times a day. Goldfish will eat a lot more than they should, so it’s your job to keep them healthy and not overfed. Overfeeding a goldfish can make them unwell but it can also contaminate the tank with excess organic material. This will make your tank dirtier faster and will make the water less healthy for the fish. In order for a goldfish to remain happy and healthy, it needs to live in clean water. To do this, remove your fish and put them in a holding tank. Next take a quarter of the water out of the tank. Remove all items from the tank and rinse them in clean water. Scrub the sides of the tank and use a gravel vacuum to clean the gravel at the bottom. Finally, put everything back in the tank and add enough new water to fill up the rest of the tank.  Once the tank is full again, add chemicals to neutralize any chlorine that might be in the water you added. Never wash decorations or equipment with cleaner that isn’t marked as aquarium safe. Residue will likely remain on the surface, even after a thorough rinsing, which can potentially kill your fish. Use an aquarium test kit to check the pH, nitrate, and ammonia levels in your tank. These kits are available at all pet and aquarium stores. Follow the directions in the kit, which usually includes taking a small sample of the water from the tank, adding a specific amount of testing solution to it and then looking for a change in color. Most aquarium test kits test the pH, nitrate, and ammonia levels all in one test. The color of your results will tell you...

If you have fallen or something else has happened where you think your wrist has fractured, it is important to keep it from moving around too much. You don't necessarily have to go see the doctor that day if the pain is not too severe and the wrist doesn't look deformed; however, you should go to the doctor by the next day.  In the meantime, make sure not to use your wrist or move it more than you have to.  If the pain is severe or the wrist looks deformed (the bone is sticking out or you think it might have fractured in more than one place) you should go to the hospital immediately. Do not eat or drink anything (even water) if your wrist is malformed and likely to need to be put back into place (closed reduction). In that case, anesthesia will need to be administered and you might experience nausea that would cause you to vomit during or right after the reduction. Symptoms include: pain at the wrist, bruising at the wrist, swelling at the wrist, deformity of the hand or wrist, and numbness or tingling of the fingers. There is also a potential for paleness of the extremity or fingers, but this is usually due to complications.  If there is paleness or lack of mobility of the fingers, the fracture will require a visit to the doctor. Those with Colles fractures also usually have a history of a fall, usually in which they used an outstretched hand to brace themselves for the fall. This may include high impact trauma in a younger patient or lower impact trauma in an older osteoporotic adult. You should look for something that can keep your wrist from moving. The splint should be as long as your forearm, wrist and hand. If you don't have a proper medical splint at your house (or wherever you are when the injury occurs) you can use other objects that are wide, flat, and the right length.  For example, if a ruler runs the length of your hand, wrist, and most of your forearm, use a ruler as a splint. A folded length of newspaper that runs past your elbow and to the middle joints of your fingers works as well. The...

This should be the determinant factor of when you decide to have a protein shake, since it's meant to supplement and enhance the physical training you are doing. When you consume protein and what you eat should be planned around your workout. For example, if you work out at 5am, a protein shake after the gym at 7am might double as breakfast for you. Post-workout is one of the times that your body needs protein more than ever. This is the most effective time for drinking a protein shake in order to maximize its benefits for your body.  Right after a workout, your body starts to heal and rebuild the muscle. This is important because of the "micro tears" in the muscle tissue, those very small tears caused by intense contraction of the muscles during exercise, such as weightlifting. Giving your body protein as soon as possible will make sure it has the fuel it needs to help the muscles heal, rebuild and grow.  Protein shakes after a workout are better than solid food because the latter takes longer to digest and break down the protein and send it to the muscles. Protein shakes, on the other hand, only take approximately 30 minutes to reach the muscles after consumption.   Have your shake within 45 minutes following a workout. During that time,  your muscles are still fired up and your body is better able to absorb the protein and start rebuilding more quickly. The sooner you can have the shake after you finish working out, the better!  You can also try drinking other liquids that contain protein after a workout, such as regular or chocolate milk. Although having a protein shake after a workout is the optimal time to have one, you can also consume them at different times of the day. You can also have more than one a day but be sure to consider how much protein you are already getting in a day and how much you need. Only have additional shakes if you NEED them to meet your protein requirement for the day. Remember not to overdo it on protein, which can harm your kidneys and your liver.  Drink a protein shake first...

TL;DR in English: Consider when you workout. Drink a protein shake after a workout. Consider consuming additional protein shakes. Make sure to consume protein throughout the day in addition to shakes.

You can make a fun strapless dress from an oversized t-shirt. The shirt should be large enough to come down to your knees.  Cut the sleeves of the shirt off, and then cut the seam of the sleeves to open them up into a long piece of fabric. Lay the sleeves flat on a table and cut two identical rectangles out of the sleeves without cutting the finished hem of the sleeves. These will be the top of the dress. Cut a straight line across the top of the shirt just under the neck line. Discard the neckline of the shirt that you cut off. Cut the large portion of the shirt that’s left up the sides to create two identical large rectangles of fabric. These will be the body of the dress. Use a sewing machine to sew the smaller rectangles of fabric to the bottom larger body pieces of fabric. You should end up with two dress pieces, the front and the back. Make sure you sew the wrong sides of the fabric together. Sew the front of the dress to the back of the dress, by sewing the sides together. Then, sew elastic for under the bust of the dress. Sew the elastic onto the dress right where the top piece meets the body piece. Stretch the elastic as you sew it. Cut any excess fabric beyond where you sewed on the top or sides. Then, turn the dress right side out. You can cut old jeans to create cute cut-off shorts. This is a great project to do with jeans that look new on the top but have stains or fraying on the bottom.  Turn the jeans inside out to mark the jeans where you’ll cut them. Start at the waistband and use a tape measure to measure down one leg. Make a mark where you want to cut the jeans. Do the same on the opposite leg, making sure the marks are at the exact same length. Keep the jeans inside out and use fabric scissors to cut the jeans where you made your marks. Starting at the side of one leg, cut straight across until you’ve cut off the bottom part of the leg. Embellish your new cut-offs with by adding jewels or buttons to give your cut-offs a special touch, or you can use a bleach pen to draw shapes or lines on...

This is the single most important thing to relieve kidney pain. You should drink between two to three liters of water per day when healthy, but you may need more to help you pass kidney stones. Water helps wash away bacteria and dead tissues from the kidney. Stagnant urine is an excellent medium for bacterial growth. By drinking plenty of water, you can create a continuous flow of water through the kidney which prevents bacteria from growing and multiplying.  A small kidney stone (<4mm) may also be passed spontaneously with urine if the flow is adequate. Limit your intake of coffee, tea, and cola to one to two cups per day. Sometimes bed rest can be helpful in reducing pain. If your pain is caused by a kidney stone or kidney injury, excessive movement or exercise could cause your kidney to bleed. Lying on your side could aggravate your kidney pain. A hot pad or warm cloth may be applied to the site of pain for temporary relief. Heat improves blood flow and reduces nerve sensation, both of which reduce pain. Heat may be particularly helpful if your pain is caused by a muscle spasm. Do not apply too much heat, as this could cause burns. Use a heating pad, soak in a hot bath, or use a cloth that’s been soaked in hot (but not boiling) water. There are some over-the-counter painkillers that can fight kidney pain. Acetaminophen/paracetamol is commonly recommended for pain caused by infections and kidney stones. Consult with your doctor before taking any pain medication, as some can increase kidney problems or interact with other medical conditions.  Do not take high-dose aspirin. Aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding and can worsen any vascular obstruction, like a kidney stone. NSAIDs can be dangerous if you have decreased kidney function. Do not take ibuprofen or naproxen if you already have a kidney condition, unless it's recommended by your doctor. Antibiotics should be used if you have any kind of urinary tract infection. Kidney stones can cause stagnant urine to get backed up in the kidney, which in turn...

TL;DR in English: Drink plenty of fluids. Get plenty of rest. Apply heat to reduce the pain. Use analgesic medications. Consult with your doctor about antibiotics. Avoid excess vitamin C. Drink cranberry juice regularly.

Bring 1 cup (250 ml) of purified water to a boil using a tea kettle or small saucepan. Rinse 1/4 cup (60 ml) of fresh parsley leaves under cool, running water. Pat the leaves dry using clean paper towels.  Use either curly or flat leaf parsley. Both varieties should have similar tastes and health benefits. Either roughly chop the parsley or leave it whole. Chopping or gently crushing the parsley in your hand can help release some of its natural oils, so it may result in stronger tea. Place the parsley leaves in the bottom of one teacup. Pour the hot water over the leaves, then allow the tea to steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Alter the steep time according to personal taste. Parsley tea can seem very bitter, and the flavor becomes stronger as you steep it longer. Pour the tea through a fine mesh tea strainer. Collect the liquid tea in a separate teacup and discard the leaves. Drink the parsley tea immediately to enjoy the best flavor. You can sweeten the tea or leave it unsweetened. Consider using raw sugar or locally sourced honey if you choose to sweeten the tea.

TL;DR in English: Boil the water. Rinse the parsley leaves. Steep the parsley for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain the leaves. Enjoy.

Exposure to UV light (done by a dermatologist) has been correlated with significant improvement in psoriasis lesions and flare ups. Although there are risks associated with the procedure, such as a mildly heightened risk of developing a future skin cancer (due to increased UV exposure), for many people the potential benefits exceed the associated risks. You will want to bathe them and clean them by lightly scrubbing with soap and water. This prepares your skin to receive the most benefit from UV therapy. Interestingly enough, coating the lesions with mineral oil before therapy has been shown to allow the UV light to penetrate your skin more effectively. This, in turn, increases the effectiveness of treatment.  Your doctor may also offer your UV-sensitizing medications prior to receiving UV therapy. However, the use of these medications may increase the risk of burning your skin. It is best to follow your doctor's advice, as they will be able to give you the best recommendation. After you have prepared your skin for your UV sessions, the next step is to go to the sessions. Note that UV therapy may be inconvenient to attend and/or expensive. Look into whether you have any coverage for UV therapy under your health plan.  Alternatively, you can consider gaining actual sun exposure (within safe limits), or trying a home light treatment or a tanning bed. Ask your doctor for recommendations that they feel will be most beneficial to your skin, while also minimizing the risk that comes with excess UV exposure.

TL;DR in English: Know that the use of UV light is one of the mainstays of psoriasis treatment. Bathe the affected areas prior to receiving UV therapy. Use mineral oil to coat your psoriasis lesions before obtaining UV therapy. Receive UV therapy.

Ammonia stress (the dangerous symptoms that fish get when ammonia levels get too high) is always a risk during the cycling process. If they aren't dealt with quickly, these symptoms can eventually become deadly for the fish. If you see the symptoms below, lower the ammonia levels by changing the water more frequently and changing a greater portion of the water each time:  Lethargy/lack of movement (even when food is added) Refusing to leave the bottom of the tank Gasping for air at the surface of the water Inflamed eyes, gills, and/or anus. There are two kinds: remover and detoxifier. Most pet shops and aquarium stores will sell chemicals specifically designed to neutralize ammonia in aquariums. Though these can be useful if the ammonia level becomes so high that it begins to harm the fish, they are more useful in starting a new tank as they permit to skip some water changes, shortening the time needed to cycle a new tank.   Some people believe that ammonia removers can be harmful in the long-run.  This may be due  to a misunderstanding of the process of detoxifying. In a tank, toxic ammonia (gas NH3) is in reversible equilibrium with not-so-toxic ionized ammonia (NH4+). Most of the detoxifier  products convert  toxic ammonia into the form that isn't so harmful to fish. However, after 24 to 48 hours, they will release the ammonia. That's why these products should be used:  as long as the useful bacteria is not yet established AND, from time to time make a partial water change (as per manufacturers' instructions) to remove some of the ammonia accumulated AND even if is not specified, dose the detoxifier for the whole tank, not just for the new added (replaced) water, as the already bonded ammonia in the tank will be released soon (after 24-48 hours from previous dose).   Changing 50% of the water (or more) generally prolongs the time required to cycle the tank (or even stop the cycle) just because the useful bacteria will be temporary inhibited and will need time to adapt  to new pH.. For this reason, some...

TL;DR in English: Treat ammonia stress during cycling with frequent water changes. Consider ammonia neutralizers if you run into toxicity problems. Use goldfish only for cycling all-goldfish tanks.

If you have hyperthyroidism, your body is producing too much of the thyroid hormone. Iodine can irritate your thyroid and cause health issues, so it is not recommended for individuals with hyperthyroidism. You can take several mineral supplements once a day to help manage your hyperthyroidism, including:  Selenium, 200-400 mcg/day Zinc, 20-40 mg/day Copper, 4-5 mg/day Calcium: This mineral can help prevent brittle, weak bones or osteoporosis, which are common complications of Graves disease. Graves disease is the most common form of hyperthyroidism. Start with a good, whole-food vitamin, which is derived from food rather than synthesized in a lab, and produced with very little processing. To be sure you are getting high-quality vitamins, look for products that have been verified by a third party, like USP, NSF, or ConsumerLab. Purchase your supplements from a reputable health food store. Helpful vitamin supplements include:  2-3 grams of omega-3 fish oils every day. If you have Graves disease, you should aim for 3-4 grams of fish oil a day. B-vitamins to increase your energy levels. Take two to three times the recommended daily amount of B-vitamins, or take the dose recommended by your doctor. Anti-oxidant vitamins, such as vitamin C (2000 mg/day), vitamin E (400-800 IU/day), l-carnitine (2-4 g/day), and CoQ10 (50-100 mg/day). I-carnitine has been shown to reduce thyroid hormone production in your body. CoQ10 has been shown to be low in individuals with hyperthyroidism. Only take botanical supplements once you have consulted a qualified naturopathic physician. Several botanical supplements have been shown to block the production of thyroid hormones in your body, including:  Lycopus spp (Bugleweed)  Lithospermum officinale  Melissa officinalis (Lemon balm)  Iris versicolor  Emblica officinalis (Indian gooseberry)

TL;DR in English: Avoid iodine in your diet if you have hypothyroidism. Take mineral supplements as directed by your doctor. Take vitamin supplements. Add botanical supplements to your diet.

If you've ever taken a dance class, you're probably familiar with isolations. This is when you're moving a part of your body but nothing else -- hence isolating it. It may sound simple, but it's very difficult to move any part of your body without at least minimally affecting another. With the robotic like sounds of dubstep, it's essential. Stand in front of the mirror. Start with your head and neck and move down your body, attempting to rotate each part of you independently. Go counterclockwise and clockwise with every part -- your shoulders, chest, abs, hips, down to your ankles. Work with the smallest bits -- finger, fingers, wrists, forearms -- once you get the hang of it. Nothing else should be moving. When you get the hang of moving in circles, experiment moving up and down. You'll be moving on different planes while isolated for the majority of the time. For example, when moving your arm up and down, you're not using your wrist or elbow. Hold it strong, but move your arm leading with your shoulder; in fact, only your shoulder should be working. There are many helpful YouTube tutorials that take you through this process. Basically, you are moving your abs outwards and back in at a fast paced rate or to the beat of the music. With dubstep, that's pretty quickly. Think of your body like a clam shell that's opening and closing. Your top and bottom halves should be coming in to meet at the middle.  Practice this until you have it down, as it forms many of the basic moves to dubstep. You'll be doing a lot of work in slow motion. This means that the majority of the time your weight will not be evenly spread on both legs. And because of the smooth flow of the slow-mo parts and the choppiness of the glitchy parts, there is no wavering in dubstep. There will be times when you're on your toes or the sides of your feet. Start practicing now! Yoga will help, too. Unlike something classic like the waltz (a simple 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3), dubstep goes very fast; often you'll be hitting 1/8 notes and the likes thereof. If...

Find out what is causing your dry mouth. Your doctor or dentist may be able to spot symptoms of gene disorders, medication side effects, allergies, or other untreated causes of dry mouth. Make an appointment, and write down any symptoms you have been experiencing and any treatments you have tried.  Bring information about your diet, smoking habits, oral hygiene routines, medications, and medical history. Bring a complete list of prescription and over-the counter medications that you take regularly. Take inventory of the medications you currently take. If you take any medications, these may add to your dry mouth symptoms. Dry mouth is one of the most common side effects for over a thousand prescription and over-the-counter medications. If you have been prescribed medication for depression, anxiety, nerve pain, or other pain management, that may be the cause of your dry mouth.  Cancer patients undergoing radiation and chemotherapy often experience dry mouth. This can be a temporary change, or it can be chronic — radiation to the head and throat may permanently damage the salivary gland. Talk to your physician about treating your symptoms. Older people often experience dry mouth as a result of medications. There are serious medical conditions that trigger dry mouth. If you experience dry mouth as well as dry eyes, talk to your doctor about Sjögren’s syndrome, a disorder that affects the immune system, and is predominantly found in women aged 30 – 50. Your doctor may be able to prescribe certain medicines to decrease these symptoms. Dry mouth can be a side effect of many conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, thyroid dysfunction, cerebral palsy, and endocrine disorders. If you have already been diagnosed with one of these conditions, ask your doctor about the possibility of dry mouth being a side effect.  If you have recently had a bone marrow transplant, this may have caused your dry mouth. If you have recently suffered nerve damage to your head or neck, this may have caused your dry mouth....

TL;DR in English: Talk to your doctor or dentist. Manage your medications. Get tested for autoimmune diseases. Talk to your doctor about your injuries and disorders. Rule out false perceptions.

Adobe Illustrator is a professional image creation program, and is the easiest way to create vector images from JPG files. If you don't have access to Illustrator, see the next section for instructions on using the free GIMP and Inkscape utilities. You can do this by clicking the menu in the upper-right corner and selecting "Tracing." You'll see the "Image Trace" panel appear. You can do this from the File menu or by dragging and dropping the file. The tracing options in the Image Trace panel will become active. This will allow you to see what the different settings will do before applying them, but it will increase the time between making changes. There are five preset buttons along the top of the panel, and more presets available in the drop-down menu. The top row of buttons include the following presets:  Auto Color - Creates a stylized set of colors based on the original colors. High Color - Attempts to recreate all of the original colors. Low Color - Creates a simplified version of the original colors. Grayscale - Replaces colors with shades of gray. Black and White - Reduces colors to black and white. Images converted to vectors don't usually show well with all of their natural colors, so you'll get a better result by reducing the number of colors used. This will lead to a "flatter" look for the image. This will reveal more detailed controls for the trace. Moving the slider to the left makes the paths looser, while sliding it to the right makes the paths tighter. A looser path will lead to smoother edges. Moving the slider to the left will make the corners rounder, which will lead to a smoother image. The Noise slider determines what groupings of pixels are considered "noise" and not included in the trace. This can help straighten lines and smooth out rough spots. Illustrator will then perform the tracing action, which may take a few moments to complete. This will convert your tracing object into actual vector paths, and will replace your JPG image with the vector. Once you're finished with the tracing,...

TL;DR in English: Open Adobe Illustrator. Switch to the "Tracing" workspace. Add the JPG image that you want to convert to your artboard. Select the image on your artboard. Check the "Preview" box in the Image Trace panel. Try one of the presets in the Image Trace panel. Use the color slider to adjust color complexity. Expand the "Advanced" section of the Image Trace panel. Use the "Paths" slider to adjust how close the path follows the pixels. Use the "Corners" slider to adjust how rounded your corners will be. Use the "Noise" slider to reduce bleeds. Click "Trace" when you're satisfied. Click the "Expand" button. Export the image as a vector file.

The phrase “zero coupon bond” applies to any bond that will not provide any coupon or interest payments during the life of the bond. As a result, the only payment you expect will be the payment of the face value of the bond when it reaches maturity. To find out, ask the broker who is selling the bonds whether the bond will be making coupon payments or not. Although the price of a zero coupon bond may seem obvious -- that it should be the face value -- the price actually takes into account a deduction for the time you must wait until maturity. For example, $1,000 to be paid in five years is not as valuable as $1,000 that you could have today. Therefore, even a zero coupon bond needs to have its price calculated. The par value is the face value amount of the bond, which you will expect to receive when the bond reaches maturity. The par value should be evident if the bond is being offered for sale. If you have any question, ask the broker who is selling the bonds what its par value is. This is the interest value that you are promised to receive when the bond reaches maturity. This value should be made evident if the bond is being offered for sale. For example, a bond may be offered upon the terms that it is a $1,000 face value and a 6% yield over five-years. Although you will not be receiving interest payments over the life of the bond, you need to use a theoretical number of payment periods to calculate its value over time. The most common payment schedule is semi-annually. So to compare with these, you would select a number that is equal to the life of your bond, multiplied by two. For example, if you are considering a bond that matures in five years, you would used a number of payment periods of 5x2, which is 10. The bond’s yield is presented as an annual figure, but you will be calculating the bond value based on semi-annual payments. For that reason, you would divide the yield in half. If the bond has an advertised yield of 6%, use the value of 3% (or 0.03) for the calculation of the bond’s value. This...

TL;DR in English: Find out if you have a zero coupon bond. Determine the par value of the bond. Find out the bond’s required yield. Calculate a theoretical number of payment periods. Adjust the bond’s yield for the calculation. Use the calculation formula to find the current value of the bond. Calculate your bond value. Understand the meaning of the calculated value.

With depression, sometimes the day can seem like a mountain you have to climb. When all your responsibilities pile up, it can start to seem impossible. To make each day a little more manageable, break things into a series of small tasks.  Even if that thing is just, "Get out of bed and brush your teeth," put it on your list. Tell yourself you've just got to do that one thing, and then you'll be successful. When you're done with that, come up with a new goal. Just one thing at a time. Doing something small can give you the mental boost you need to keep going and do other things. Try telling yourself you'll just make yourself something to eat, or you'll just tidy up one room of the house. You'll probably end up doing much more than you expected, once you actually get started. Every day that you get through should be considered a success. Even if some bad stuff happened over the course of it, there's an even longer list of things you did right. At the end of each day, it's important to take a little time and remember everything you did that was good. Made a good breakfast? Bathed yourself? Drove to work without running a single red-light? Worked a whole workday without calling your boss a jerk? These are things to be celebrated. If you're able to sense when you're starting to slip into a depressive state, try heading it off at the pass with something that makes you feel good. Don't let yourself slip into a spiral that will only go down.  Do something productive, creative, or fun that will engage your mind. Read a book, watch a favorite movie, do some puzzles, anything to take you out of that state of mind you're currently in. If you feel like you're slipping, it's usually very helpful to be around people. Spend time with your friends, or find an online community of people with similar interests, so you can spend some time chatting and staying engaged with people. Any therapy veteran will tell you that an important part of recovery and care is remembering that you are not your illness. One excellent way of...

TL;DR in English: Break the day into a series of small tasks. List out all your successes every day. Try distracting yourself with activity. Personify your depression. Try calming visualization meditations. Talk to people. Find a help network. Talk to a psychiatrist.

Make sure that the bottom and sides are well-coated.  Use an 11 by 7 by 2-inch (28 by 18 by 5-cm) baking dish. You could use butter or shortening to grease the dish instead of cooking spray, if desired. Note that the oven should still be preheated to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Layer roughly 1/3 of the toasted bread at the bottom of the pan, arranging it in as even a layer as possible. Try to cover the entire of the bottom in at least one layer, but do not exceed two layers of bread at the bottom. Lay roughly 1/3 of the apple slices over the top of the bread layer. Some recipes leave this fruit layer out completely. Other recipes use 2 to 3 peeled and sliced bananas instead of or alongside the sliced apples. Sprinkle 1/3 of the nuts, raisins, dried apricots, and shredded cheese over the apple layer.  A traditional Mexican cheese, like Cotija or Queso Añejo, would work best, but you can replace these hard-to-find cheeses with more common options like Monterey Jack, Longhorn Cheddar, and Colby cheese. Additionally, you can use chopped cubes of cheese instead of shredded cheese, if desired. Just know that the cheese will not spread out as evenly when using cubes. Pine nuts, almonds, pecans, walnuts, and roasted peanuts are all good nut options. You can even use a nut blend, if desired. Just make sure that the nuts are chopped into small pieces regardless of the type. Pour 1/3 of the syrup over the bread, apple, and fruit layers. Make sure that the bread at the bottom is well coated in syrup. Let soak for 15 minutes. By letting the first layers rest, you give the syrup more time to soak into the bread and other ingredients. Arrange the remaining layers using the same pattern as before, and use 1/3 of the total amount of each ingredient each time. This means that you will have two more full layers after your initial layer. Let the bread pudding rest for 15 minutes after completing each full layer. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the oven long enough to...
