Feel for contractions. Know the triggers of Braxton Hicks contractions. Help your Braxton Hicks contractions subside. Notice pressure in your abdomen. Pay attention to abdominal cramps. Look out for a backache. Watch for new vaginal discharge or changes in your vaginal discharge.

Ideal containers for a dish soap flea trap include cookie sheets, rubber tote lids, plates, and pie plates. You want a container with a large surface area and short sides. A shallow dish will help you catch as many fleas as possible, because the short sides won’t act as a barrier for jumping fleas that might land in the trap. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 ml) of liquid dish soap to the water. Swish the water around with a spoon or your finger to distribute the soap throughout the water.  Fleas don’t drown in plain water because they aren't heavy enough to break the water’s surface tension. Adding liquid dish soap to the water reduces the surface tension. When the fleas jump into the trap, they will sink and drown. A homemade flea trap doesn’t have the power to attract fleas, so it’s best to put it somewhere that fleas have already been in your house. Place a towel on the floor to catch spills, and lay the trap on top of the towel on the floor. Make multiple flea traps for different rooms if necessary. Common places to find fleas include:  On carpets and rugs Near pet bedding Near windows,doors and food Around pillows and furniture Around pet bowls Near drapes and curtains Fleas become active a couple of hours before sunset and stay active all night long, so the best time to catch them is overnight. Once you lay the trap, try to leave it undisturbed for the rest of the night. When possible, close the door to the room to keep pets and kids out. In the morning, check the trap for dead fleas. If you caught any, dump the soapy water and rinse the dish. Fill the dish with fresh water, add more dish soap, and lay the trap out again on the towel for the next night. Repeat each night until you stop catching fleas.

TL;DR in English: Fill a large, shallow dish with water. Add dish soap. Place the trap where fleas have been. Leave the trap overnight. Empty and refill the trap each morning.

Your birthing professional may encourage you to massage your abdomen in the hours and days after birth. If, however, they do not directly tell you that you should self-massage, consult them before starting to do so.  There may be a reason your birthing professional would not encourage self-massage. It is always important to consult with them first, or you could risk unnecessary pain and damage to your uterus. Once you're flat on your back, place your flat palms on your abdomen at about where your belly button is located. If your uterus is hard, meaning that you feel resistance when you press down, you should not need to massage the area. If the area is soft and you feel little resistance, a massage may be recommended. Take one hand and cup it slightly. Slowly move it in a circular motion over your lower abdomen. Do this until you feel your uterus contract.  The uterus should feel firm when it contracts. It may be a little uncomfortable, but it will not last too long. Your birthing professional will work with you to determine how many times a day you should massage your abdomen, and for how long. Follow their recommendations, and let them know if you experience any extreme pain or heavy bleeding during the massage.

TL;DR in English: Get your doctor's approval. Lie down flat and press at your belly button. Cup one hand. Repeat the massage process as instructed.

When you copy your photos from your camera to your computer, take a look at them and choose at least four. Make sure the photos you choose all have the same brightness and none have any blurred spots.  Take all the photos and use the Move tool to align the images as best you can so they are more or less fit together. Don’t worry if they’re not perfect; you will deal with that part later. Masking is where you try to make the visible incongruities between the photos less visible. Simply use the Soft Edge blending tool to merge them together. Although this may take a bit more than using the Photomerge option, the end result looks very much the same. If you find the alignment wasn’t as straight as you wanted, you can always crop the image to your satisfaction.

TL;DR in English: Pick your shots. Open the photos in Photoshop. Align the photos. Mask the photos. Crop your creation.

Start with a good quality base mount and mounting rings to ensure that your scope will be held sturdy for years to come. It's often better to spend a little more on the mount than on the scope itself, so you won't have to continually adjust things when you've got it sighted in. To install the mount, you'll tighten the screws into the mounts according to the manufacturer directions. It's best to proceed in an X pattern, so that you are not pulling the scope one way or the other. Start the screws loosely at first, so you can make adjustments if necessary. Lay the scope into the bracket, according to the manufacturer's directions, with the eyepiece oriented in the correct direction. Use a small torpedo level, laying it on the top of your scope to check for level, and tightening the rings firmly. Set the distance to your shooting eye so the position is correct when in your shooting position. Your image should be sharp and clear when you look through the eyepiece, when this is achieved your know you are in the correct place. Your rifle should be held in a steady position, mounted on a stand so that the rifle stock is level and square to the ground level. Start rotating the cross-hair so that the vertical cross-hair is at top dead center, or 12 o'clock. Imagine a line through the cross-hair that runs directly through the center of your rifle. You can make further adjustments later, but it's important to get the cross-hairs oriented in the correct position now, before you tighten it down. Make sure that the cross-hair remains top dead center, then gradually tighten your mounting rings. Tighten each screw only half a thread at a time constantly checking the cross-hair hasn't moved. Go slowly.

TL;DR in English: Mount the base and rings on the scope. Mount the scope on the rifle. Position the eyepiece correctly. Level your cross-hair. Tighten your mounting base securely.

You don't need to stock up on fancy cat toys to have fun. You may have something your cat would love just lying around the house. If you have any ping pong balls, or similar types of balls, your kitten will love playing with these. Bounce a ping pong ball against the wall and allow your kitten to chase it. Ping pong balls bounce easily, so they'll move around fast. This is sure to attract a kitten's attention. Place a small plush toy under a blanket. Wiggle it around so your kitten thinks it's a mouse or other animal. Your kitten will pounce on the toy and get plenty of fun playing a game like this.  For an even more economical cat toy, you can also make balls out of crumpled paper. This DIY cat toy creates a rustling noise that cats are evolved to pay attention to due to its likeness to the rustling sounds made by small animals e.g. in a bush. Also, the imperfection in the roundness randomizes how it will roll on the floor. Unlike a ping pong ball, a paper ball would not travel too far, so this limits the playing into a smaller area and makes playtime easier to manage. However, make sure it's an old blanket if your kitten is not declawed. Kitten claws can seriously damage fabrics. You may not want to play this game if you let your kitten sleep in your bed. This may encourage your kitten to pounce on your feet while you're trying to sleep. If you get home from the grocery store, place a paper bag on the ground. Many kittens love playing in paper bags. You can take a small toy and poke the sides of the paper bag with it. This will give your cat something to play with inside the paper bag. You can also set down a paper bag while playing with a ribbon or string with your cat. The kitten will use the paper bag as a hiding spot from which to jump out at their prey. Kittens love play hunting. In the wild, play is a form of practice for hunting later in life. Your kitten will love having small plush toys to stalk. Choose toys big enough for your kitten to carry in its mouth.  You can throw these toys around for your...

TL;DR in English: Use a ping pong ball. Hide a stuffed toy under a blanket. Let your kitten play in a paper bag. Provide your kitten with plush toys. Use trial and error to figure out what your kitten likes.

A contraction will feel like a tightening of muscles in your abdominal area, especially near your baby. However, a contraction is not always a sign of preterm labor, as you can have false contractions called Braxton Hicks contractions.  Braxton Hicks contractions are generally less severe than regular contractions. Though Braxton Hicks can be painful sometimes, actual contractions are usually accompanied by more pain and are more regularly spaced. In fact, actual contractions will move closer together as time passes.  If you're having more than eight contractions in an hour or more than four in 20 minutes, your contractions are likely not Braxton Hicks.  If you are having contractions and are worried, don't be afraid to call your doctor. She'll be better able to determine whether you are having false contractions or regular contractions. These false contractions can be triggered by a number of activities. If you or the baby has been moving around a lot, that can trigger them. You may also have a round of these contractions after sex or if you are especially dehydrated. Finally, a full bladder or even someone just touching your stomach can trigger these contractions. Therefore, if your contractions are light and started after these activities, they could just be false contractions instead of preterm labor. If your contractions are Braxton Hicks, they will eventually subside. To hurry the process along, try changing how you're positioned. Lie down if you've been moving around, or do the opposite if you've been lying down. You can also try drinking more fluids or getting extra rest to help alleviate these contractions over time. If you start feeling pressure in your lower abdomen, that could be a sign of preterm labor. You may also feel pressure in your pelvic area. If you're not sure whether the pressure you're feeling is preterm labor, call your doctor to be sure. If you start feeling cramps, it may be a sign of preterm labor. Generally, these cramps will feel like you are on your period. In addition, diarrhea...

Gather your supplies. Take some measurements. Compare your facial features. Examine the shape of your jaw.

This is a location that can have a lot of excess hair growth. Begin by using your thinning shears around the dog's shoulders if a ridge of hair has formed there. Then move your attention to the front of the dog, thinning the hair on its chest until it lies flat.  The length of your dog's fur will vary. A Golden Retriever doesn't have a short, tight coat, but instead has some length to it. When trimming your dog's coat, focus more on trimming fuzzy and unkempt fur, instead of trimming to a specific length. If you are unsure if you have removed enough hair, comb the coat out and see if the coat is lying flat. The goal is to have a nice flat coat that is balanced and symmetrical. As you trim, move the thinning shears with the direction of the growth. Using the thinning shears to trim the neck and chest will give the dog a more natural look.

TL;DR in English: Thin the undercoat around the Golden Retriever's chest and neck.

You and your child have the right to know why they are being expelled and what they are accused of. You also have the right to know the evidence collected. Both you and your child have the right to be heard. Some rights may differ by school district. Look on your school district’s website or ask a school employee for the school handbook on how to handle these procedures. You may seek legal counsel regarding your child’s expulsion. A juvenile lawyer can familiarize you and your child with your rights and recommend some directions to take. The lawyer can come with you and advise you and your child during the school board hearing.  While getting a lawyer is optional, it can help you to familiarize yourself with the process and know what to expect. If you’re not sure what to say to the school, a lawyer can step in and talk for you. Bring a lawyer with you to the board hearing and seek fair treatment. Find a lawyer who’s worked expulsion cases before. Look online or get a recommendation from someone you trust. Your child’s school should give you a date, time, and place of the hearing. You may wish to learn about the process of the hearing and what will happen during it, including who will speak and what will be discussed. You can bring a letter or plan to speak during the hearing. You should be able to review the school records before the hearing. If you feel that the expulsion is unjust and undeserved, appeal it. You always have the right to appeal. However, appeals are very rarely successful. Make sure you have a solid reason why you think this is a misunderstanding or an overstep. Otherwise, dragging out the process can be grueling and not lead to anything beneficial. An appeal would happen at the child’s expulsion hearing or shortly after. This process varies by school and may be outlined in the school handbook.

TL;DR in English: Know your child’s rights. Talk to a lawyer. Attend the expulsion hearing. Decide if you are going to appeal the decision.

A dentist can look at the white spots on your teeth and determine if bleaching may help and whether this procedure is safe based on the current state of your enamel. Your dentist will also be able to seal the enamel with fluoride and other enamel treatments once the whitening process is finished. This will help to strengthen your teeth. Another common way dentists remove white spots from the teeth is by gently scuffing the spots from the teeth with an abrasive material, usually baking soda.  This is best for white spots that are small, as too much abrasion on the teeth will wear away a thin layer of enamel. The procedure uses a special device that blows crystal particles directly at the calcium deposit.  The abrasive particles gently lift away the calcium deposit.  The spot is then fixed with filling to cover the calcium deposit and seal the enamel. Like air abrasion, the goal of chemical microabrasion is to remove the white spot by gently removing the calcium deposit causing the discoloration.  This is appropriate for small- to medium-sized white spots only, because applying the abrasive chemicals to larger areas will only damage the tooth further. During the procedure, the dentist applies a special acid that eats away the calcium deposit on the tooth.  The acid is only applied directly on top of the discolored spots to avoid extensive enamel damage.  Then, the dentist will drill in the spots post-etching to seal the enamel of the teeth and protect it from further damage. During this procedure, the dentist will use a special resin gel to open the pores of the tooth where the white spots are located.  After the resin has penetrated and treated all of the levels of the discolored teeth, the dentist will cure the resin with a special light.  After about 15 – 20 minutes, the white spots should blend with the remaining tooth enamel.  This procedure also blocks enamel-eating acid from penetrating the tooth and helps preserve the tooth from additional decay and future cracks in the enamel structure. These...

TL;DR in English: Have your teeth professionally bleached. Ask about air abrasion techniques. Consider chemical microabrasion. Have your spots treated with the Resin Infiltration System. Undergo topical remineralization therapy.

Most people who are afraid of cats are already aware that cats are pretty harmless. However, they have a fear response that is initiated in the brain that they can’t currently control.  Phobias are often learned behavior.  A person may have one bad experience with a cat, he may have subconsciously begun to associate cats with negative things such as illness, or he may have “learned” to be afraid of cats by watching his parents’ fearful behavior around them when he was a child. Multiple brain regions are involved in phobias. Therefore, it will take you some time to retrain your brain to think and respond differently to cats. When you are able to identify those unhelpful thoughts, then you can begin to evaluate them.  You will probably see that most of these thoughts fall into one (or more) of these three cognitive distortions:  Fortune telling is when a person assumes they know what the outcome of a situation is going to be without any true evidence to support it. For example, you may think “This cat is going to scratch me” even though you’ve never had any interaction with that cat before. Overgeneralizing is when a person takes one specific event and generalizes it to all events. For example, you may think “My friend’s cat scratched me two years ago therefore all cats are vicious.” Catastrophizing is when you predict that a negative outcome is going to occur and believe that when it does, it will result in a catastrophe.  Catastrophizing is when you assume a situation is going to be the absolute worst case scenario. For example, you may think “If the cat scratches me, I will get an infection and die.” You can do this by creating alternative statements to counteract the negative thought. When doing this, you are essentially retraining your subconscious to release the unhelpful cognitive distortions and replace them with more positive beliefs.  Focus on replacing the negative thought with a positive statement that helps you emphasize neutral or more positive outcomes. For example, you could replace the thought...

TL;DR in English: Recognize that your cat phobia is likely being exacerbated by unhelpful thoughts. Make a list of all the negative and unhelpful thoughts that you experience when you are near cats. Replace the negative thoughts with more helpful thoughts.

Prozac works by inhibiting how receptors in your brain reabsorb (or “reuptake”) the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin is a naturally occurring chemical “messenger” (neurotransmitter) that helps maintain mood balance. Research suggests that a deficit of serotonin is a contributing factor in clinical depression. Prozac helps keep your receptors from reabsorbing too much serotonin, thereby increasing the amount available to your body. Prozac is an SSRI because it’s “selective.” It seems to primarily operate on serotonin and not any of the other neurotransmitters that are also partially responsible for mood. Prozac can cause some side effects. Many of these will be mild or go away after four to five weeks. You should talk with your doctor if you have severe side effects or symptoms, or if they do not go away. Possible side effects include:  Nervousness Nausea Dry mouth Sore throat Drowsiness Weakness Uncontrollable shaking Loss of appetite Weight loss Changes in sex drive or function Excessive sweating In some cases, Prozac may cause side effects that must be attended to immediately. Prozac has been known to increase the likelihood of suicidal thoughts, especially in people under the age of 24. If you experience thoughts about or consider plans to harm or kill yourself, seek immediate medical attention. You should also call your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms:  New or worsening depression Extreme feelings of worry, agitation, or panic Aggressive behavior or irritability Acting without thinking Severe restlessness Feelings of frenzied, abnormal excitement Prozac is generally an effective antidepressant for most people. However, it may not work with every person’s brain, or neurochemistry. If you continue to experience any of the following after taking Prozac, talk with your doctor. These could be signs that your depression or disorder is not being adequately managed by the medication.  You are experiencing severe or continuous side effects (mentioned above) You continue to...

TL;DR in English: Learn how Prozac works. Consider your side effects. Recognize emergency side effects. Think about whether Prozac is controlling your symptoms. Understand the dangers of discontinuing antidepressants.

There are multiple face shapes out there, and knowing what yours is can help you determine the hair cuts, eyebrow shapes, and makeup styles that will be most flattering.  To figure out the shape of your face, you will need a ruler and calculator. The most common face shapes include oval, heart, long, round, square, diamond, and pear. In a mirror, hold a ruler in front of your face to measure the basic length and width of your face, without taking into account the additional measurements added by protruding features like your nose. Take the basic measurements of your:  Forehead, from one eyebrow arch to the other Jawline, from the tip of your chin to the edge of your jaw (times two) Face length, from the tip of your chin to the start of your hairline Cheekbones, from the outside corner of one eye to the other (across the bridge of the nose) One of the easiest ways to determine the shape of your face is to look at the parts that are widest and longest.  If your measurements are roughly equal, your face is likely square, round, or oval. If your forehead is widest, you likely have a heart-shaped, or inverted triangle face. When cheekbones are the widest, this generally indicates a diamond-shaped face. A wider jaw often means a pear- or triangle-shaped face. If the length measurement of our face was the largest, this is oblong. The shape of your jaw plays into the overall shape of your face, so you must consider this when determining the shape of your face.  Rounded jaws mean a round or oval face Strong and well-defined jaws often mean square, diamond, or triangle faces Pointed chins indicate a diamond-shaped face

If you switch back and forth between Desktop and Modern (the UI that Windows 8 uses), you may want to pin your most used Modern apps to your Desktop's taskbar. This will let you easily open them while in Desktop mode. You can pin any of your Live Tiles, or move down to the All Apps screen and pin any of the apps listed. This will add a shortcut to the app on your Desktop taskbar. This is especially useful if you want to get rid of the Store button that appears on the taskbar after updating to 8.1.

Do not use equipment that will be used for cooking. Use bowls and equipment made from stainless steel, tempered glass, and enamel. Avoid using copper and aluminum as they have a negative reaction with lye. Moreover, some plastics melt when mixed with lye. Use soap-only spoons made of styrene plastic or silicone. You can pick up a variety of soap molds at your local craft store or use silicone baking pans. Silicone is prefered because you can peel off the soap molds easily. Aside from the actual ingredients you want in your soap, make sure you have a pint and a quart canning jar, a stainless steel thermometer that can read between 90 - 200 degrees Fahrenheit, newspaper, and an old towel.

TL;DR in English: Have the correct mixing bowls. Get creative when choosing soap molds. Gather all your tools.

You can install a new sink with basic tools and new components that match the valves already installed in your plumbing. Make sure you have:  Silicone caulking Plumbers' wrenches, either pipe wrench or slip-joint pliers Basin wrench Set of plumbing sockets Typically located beneath the sink, it's critical that you shut off the water supply to the sink before you remove it. If the valves are not beneath the sink, then you'll have to turn off the main water supply. This is typically located on a lower level or the basement near the water meter. To test, turn on the hot and cold water on your sink and make sure no water comes out before proceeding. If you're replacing a sink, you'll obviously need to remove the sink that's in place before installing the new one. Disconnect the supply and drain lines from the faucet, using locking pliers or a crescent wrench. A small amount of water may leak out when you do this, which is normal. Just use a bucket or a towel to handle the water that leaks out.  Locate the large nut that connects the sink to the drain and disconnect it. This metal or plastic nut will be located either in the wall or the floor. Use your hands or locking pliers to unscrew the nut. Remove the current sink by sliding the edge of a putty knife around the perimeter of the bathroom sink, loosening any caulk that connects it. Pull it loose. All new sinks should come with a template of the mounting opening, marking the location of the faucet holes, including a cutout for the sink. You can use the template to make sure the sink fits in the desired location. If it doesn't, you may need to do some trimming or, or cut the entire opening if you're installing a sink in a house under construction. Most new sinks come with clips and screws that are used to hold the sink in place. If you buy a faucet, sometimes it'll come with the drain and tailpiece for the sink. If it isn't included, get one before you start. The supply lines for the faucet need to correspond to the faucet and valves under the sink, so make sure...

TL;DR in English: Get the necessary tools for the job. Turn off the water supply valves. Remove the old sink, if necessary. Measure the new sink to make sure it fits the space.

Do not put the potted seeds on a windowsill or near a heater, as this will make the air too dry and hot. A closet or a basement are two good indoor spots for the plants to grow. Maintain a growing temperature of 75 to 85 °F (24 to 29 °C) for the plants so they thrive. Use a spray bottle to keep the seeds moist. Make sure it is moist to the touch, but not soaking or dripping wet. Avoid pooling the soil with water, as this can lead to growth issues due to overwatering. Stick to a regular watering schedule so the plants get enough moisture. You can plan to spray the plants in the morning and then again at night so they get the water they need. Your cannabis seeds need light 24 hours a day, seven days a week to grow. Use cool white grow lights that have a consistent temperature of 72 °F (22 °C). Keep the lights 2 inches (5.1 cm) from the pots. Use 3 to 5 watts of light for each pot.  Grow lights range from $200 to $1,200 USD depending on the size and model. You can get cool white grow lights at your local hardware store or online. Touching or handling the seeds can damage them and stunt their growth. With the right growing conditions and care, your seeds should sprout and poke out of the soil within five to ten days.

TL;DR in English: Keep the seeds out of direct sunlight in a moist area. Wet the soil one to two times a day. Use cool white grow lights. Avoid touching or handling the seeds as they grow.
###
Be sure to follow any directions on seed packets about how deep and how far apart you should plant seeds. Some seeds can easily grow from a depth of 6 inches, while others need to basically be on the surface of the soil. Vegetable starts, on the other hand, should be planted so that their existing soil is level with the surface. Remember that some plants can only grow in one direction, meaning that a certain part of the seed or clove needs to be facing up in order for it to grow properly. For instance, garlic cloves have a top and bottom. When planting garlic you need to face the pointy side up in order for it to grow. If you are using seeds, pack the soil back in the hole, making sure that it is firm but not totally compacted. If you are planting vegetable starts, push soil in all around the start, pressing the soil firmly so that the start stands firmly upright. The first time you water, you will want to soak the entire area. After that, keep the soil moist but don't drown the plants. Keeping up on watering is one of the most important things you can do to make your vegetables thrive. Monitor your plants and soil and adjust your watering schedule accordingly. If you are starting plants from seeds outdoors, keep the water consistently moist until the plants come up. As they grow, you can reduce the watering frequency to once or twice per week. Don't just forget about them, or they won't grow very well. Remove any weeds that pop up, fertilize if necessary, and keep on watering. You will need to keep tending to your veggies but once they are planted properly, much of your work is done!  To deter weeds from growing, consider mulching around your veggies. The little bit of effort it takes to mulch will pay off when you are not repeatedly weeding around your plants. Some vegetable plants need to be fertilized during the growing season to ensure harvest because they absorb large amounts of nutrients from the soil. Make sure that you’re aware of your plants’ specific feeding requirements.

TL;DR in English: Dig a hole and place seeds or a vegetable start in it. Cover the hole back up with soil. Water your vegetables. Care for your veggies after planting.

If you are parking facing uphill, make sure to leave a full car's length of space behind your vehicle so that you can back into the curb. If you are parking on a downhill incline, you will need to leave a full car's length of space in front of your car so that the wheels can roll forward into position. Face your wheels away from the curb if you are parking uphill. Turn them facing towards the curb if you are parking downhill. Press your foot on the brake, put the car in neutral, and turn your steering wheel one full turn in the proper direction. This will keep the car from rolling out into traffic if the brakes fail.  If there is no curb, then turn your front wheels toward the edge of the road regardless of whether you're parking up or down. This way, your car will roll into the dirt or grass beside the road, and not into the path of oncoming traffic. Avoid "dry steering" – turning your wheels while the vehicle is completely stopped. This puts pressure on the tires and the power steering system. When you are ready, take your foot off the brake. Let the car roll slowly downhill until you feel your turned front tire touch the curb. Hit the brake and put the car in park. Make sure that there are no other cars coming up or down the hill behind you. Check your mirrors and look over your shoulder. Make sure that the car is in parking gear. Engage the the handbrake before leaving the car.

Not all lip balms are created equal. When selecting a product to apply to your lips, make sure you choose a product with the proper ingredients to heal your lips.  Look for ingredients like cocoa butter, Vitamins A and E, petrolatum, and dimethicone. Products without these ingredients might not do much to heal lips and could even make symptoms worse.  Balms that include alpha-hydroxy acid can soothe and exfoliate chapped lips. This is an especially good ingredient to look for if you want something you can apply as a rub. Apply by gently adding the products to the lips, brushing the lips with a toothbrush to remove flakes, and then wiping off the balm.  Petroleum and beeswax are also good ingredients to look for when seeking out lip balm. Responses to such products tend to vary from person-to-person, however, so you might have to try a few different products before you find one that works for you.  Any lip balm you choose should always be re-applied before you head out into harsh weather. Sunscreen can help protect lips that are already dried and cracked from further damage outside.  Look for a sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher for optimal protection. You should be able to find such a product in most drugstores and supermarkets.  Always apply a lip balm as protection underneath sunscreen.  Apply sunscreen that has broad spectrum cover for UVA and UVB that is water resistant. If you're looking for a more natural route, there are a variety of home remedies you can try that may improve your cracked, dry lips.  Natural oils, like coconut oil and mustard oil, can moisturize dry lips. Natural oils tend to work best when cracked lips are the result of poor weather conditions. Cucumbers can cool and soothe lips. Simply eating cucumber, and applying the juices to the lips, can help. Aloe vera, which can be purchased in cream or gel form from most drug stores, is a great option for cracked lips. You can also purchase an aloe vera plant and apply the juice from the leaves to your lips. Be aware that the taste of aloe vera is...

TL;DR in English: Choose the right lip balm. Try sunscreen. Try home remedies. Ask your doctor about an antibiotic or antifungal cream.

Feeling comfortable around others means feeling comfortable with yourself, too. If you feel insecure in who you are, other people will pick up on that in social interactions. Find activities that boost your self-confidence or allow you to develop self-confidence, and know that you can transfer those feelings to your social interactions. Maybe you’re an excellent water skier, ballet dancer, or model car builder. If you feel anxious or uncomfortable, tap into the feelings of confidence that other activities give you to help put yourself at ease. If you find yourself lost in negative thoughts (“I’ll be so awkward” or “I’m not going to enjoy myself”) notice that you’re engaging a negative thought, then provide a counterpoint. You can say, “I may really enjoy myself, and I give myself permission to have a good time” or “I can work on feeling awkward by practicing new skills.”  Don’t talk yourself out of going to social events just because you feel uncomfortable. Anytime you are on the fence about going, use positive self-talk to encourage you to go. Think of it as an adventure to push yourself beyond your comfort zone. Remember that you’re practicing social ‘’skills’’, not social talents. Give yourself time to adjust to more positive self-talk. You may find yourself catastrophizing (“This will be so horrible” or “I bet no one will be there, and I’ll be alone and feel so out of place”) but learn to ignore these thoughts and return your focus to more positive thoughts. Sometimes you get along great with people, and other times you may just not click. If you find yourself not clicking with someone, remember that this is an isolated circumstance, and it doesn’t mean you’re socially awkward, that you’re bad at conversation, or that people don’t like you. If you’re worried about how people will respond to you or if you’ll be judged, remind yourself not to assign heavy value to the opinion’s of others. Say to yourself, “People’s opinions of me don’t define my identity. They are entitled to their opinions as I am to my...

Replacing a bathroom faucet is a straightforward job, but it does require a few tools that you'll need to remove the old faucet and install the new one. The tools you'll need include:  Adjustable wrench Basin wrench Bucket Towel Flashlight Measuring tape Plumber’s tape Sponge or scrubber Bathroom cleaner or soap Rag or cloth New faucet (purchased after you remove the original) Remove everything from underneath the sink. Place a towel below the pipes to protect the vanity from water damage. Place a bucket over the towel and under the faucet to catch any water that drips down. You can also lay a garbage bag down under the towel for even more protection, or in place of the bucket. Locate the water shutoff valve for the bathroom sink. It should be under the sink, inside the vanity. Turn the valve to the right (clockwise) to close the valve and shut off the water to the faucet.  Depending on your plumbing, you may have a single water valve for the entire faucet, or you may have two separate valves for the hot and cold water. If you have trouble locating the shutoff valve, you can turn off the water supply to the entire line running to the bathroom sink. To remove excess water from the faucet and to relieve pressure before you start working, drain the pipes after you shut off the water. Turn on all the faucets at the sink and keep them running until all the water has drained out. This will protect your sink, vanity, and floors from leaks and water damage, and prevent water from spraying everywhere when you remove the faucet.

TL;DR in English: Gather your tools and supplies. Prepare your work area. Turn off the water. Drain the water.

People who make a solid commitment are more likely to be able to keep those commitments. Habits are very difficult to change, but telling yourself that you are resolved to do one small thing differently will help you develop a new habit. Remember that good habits are more likely to form when you are concentrating on just one at a time, so do not overload yourself with new time management habits. For now, focus solely on keeping your day planner. People are more likely to stick to new habits when their communities are aware of their resolution and can support them. Talk to a friend or coworker about your new resolution. Perhaps your friend will also want to begin this new and useful habit. You can remind each other to update it when necessary. Use your day planner as your only calendar: if you use two day planners simultaneously, you will quickly lose track of your responsibilities. However, this can be tricky because you will need to enter items into your day planner at work and at home. To make sure that you always have your day planner with you, designate one storage place for work and one storage place for home. Never place your day planner anywhere else: consistency is key to developing this habit.  Great places to store your day planner at home include a table next to your landline, your work bag or briefcase, or next to your cell phone and car keys. Great places to store your day planner at work include on top of your desk, the central drawer of your desk, next to your work phone, or in your briefcase. When you are first getting used to using your day planner, you will likely forget to bring it with you to work or home. To prevent this from happening, write yourself reminder notes in prominent places at work and at home. Studies show that a post-it reminder is one of the most effective ways to encourage a particular behavior. Use this method on yourself by leaving post-its asking "Have you remembered your day planner?" in places you are sure to see. These include:  Your laptop On top of your desk Next...

TL;DR in English: Resolve to use a day planner every day. Talk to a friend about your wish to use a day planner. Store your day planner in the same place at work and at home every day. Write reminder notes to get in the habit of bringing your planner with you to and from work. Transfer information into your planner. Consult your day planner every morning. Consult your day planner every afternoon. Use positive reinforcement to keep yourself motivated. Continue to update your day planner as necessary. Be patient.

A contract is a legally enforceable agreement. You will write a consulting contract if you are looking to hire a consultant or if you are a consultant looking to be hired. A consultant is someone who provides professional or expert advice. You will need to decide if you have the legal capacity to enter into a valid contract, which involves knowing what you are getting yourself into by entering into the agreement. Also, you will want to know what is needed to create a legally binding contract. Those requirements include:  An offer; Acceptance; Valid consideration; Mutual assent; and A legal purpose. Contract law is always going to be state law, so you will need to make sure you meet your state's requirements. For example, some states have strict laws regarding liquidated damage provisions while other states allow them more freely.

TL;DR in English:


Rehearse your invitation before you ask. Find the right time and place. Ask him if he is going to Sadie's. Ask him if he would like to go with you. Respond to his response gracefully.

Engage in fun activities that you can focus your attention on.  Do something that inspires you such as: hiking in a beautiful place, meditation, looking at art, etc. Try exercise such as: biking, hiking, sports, dance, aerobics, and yoga. Avoid activities that may increase daydreaming such as watch television excessively. Watching too much television could possibly lead to decreased creativity and increase daydreaming behaviors. Individuals with adequate social support tend to have higher mental health overall. We need social support to deal with any issue, including excessive mind-wandering or distraction.  Pick someone that you know very well and feel very comfortable with. Then, ask them if they'd be available to answer their phone and chat with you if you've become particularly engrossed in a daydream. You can ask friends or family to alert you if they notice that you are daydreaming. This will help to keep you accountable and increase your awareness of your attention-span. Planning can be a form of daydreaming because you spend a lot of time thinking about a situation and not much time accomplishing anything. It's time stop dreaming and start doing!  Have a schedule and stick to it. If you find yourself daydreaming, get up and leave the situation or do something productive. If you drift into a daydream, gently bring yourself back to what you were doing before your mind wandered. Try to be accepting and non-judgmental of yourself.

TL;DR in English: Find new hobbies. Talk to a friend or family member. Plan less, do more.

Quick release gait belts have 2-piece buckles located on either end of the belt strap. To secure the buckle, push the “male” side into the “female” side until you hear a snap, then tug on the closed buckle to make sure it's secure. To unbuckle the belt, simultaneously press down on the tabs at the top and bottom of the closed buckle, and pull the 2 buckle components apart at the same time. As with a standard gait belt, the buckle can cause discomfort if it's positioned directly over the center of the patient's abdomen. Slide it a little to the right or left of center, based on the patient's preference. Some excess belt strap will already be looped through and hanging free from one of the sides of the buckle—typically the “male” side. Pull on the strap until the belt is at the proper tightness around the patient's waist, with the bottom of the belt just touching the tops of the hip bones. You should be able to slide your fingers behind the belt, but not be able to pinch the fabric between your fingers. The excess belt strap can be a tripping hazard, so get it out of the way by tucking it once or more behind the fitted belt. If there is an excessive amount of strapping left, wrap it loosely around the patient's body once or twice (above the fitted belt), then tuck it in.

TL;DR in English: Snap the two sides of the plastic buckle together. Move the buckle to the right or left of the patient's belly button. Pull the loose end of the belt strap to secure the belt tightly. Tuck the loose strap end into the belt for safety reasons.

Try to avoid bringing up the topic when your mom is busy. If she is busy, she is less likely to listen to and hear what you have to say. Instead, give her a heads up by arranging a time to talk. This way your mom knows that you need to talk to her about something important, and she can give you her full attention.  You can say, for example, “Hey mom, I need to talk to you about something important. When would be a good time talk?” People are usually more open after eating a meal, so bringing up the topic after dinner may work as well. If you are uncomfortable asking your mom directly, then you can try suggesting the idea of wearing a bra. Arrange a time to go shopping with your mom. When you are approaching the bra department or store in the mall, ask if you two can go in together to check it out. Once you are in the store, ask your mom, “Do you think it is time for me to wear a bra? I kind of feel like it is time.” As you approach the store you could also say, “Mom can we take a look in the bra section? I kind of think it is time for me to start wearing a bra.” If you are afraid that your mom will be harsh or overly critical, or you just cannot get over your embarrassment, then try this strategy. Write a note detailing why you think you need a bra. Give her the note when she is not busy. Tell her to read the note, think about it and come talk to you afterwards. Alternatively, you could write the note and then read it to her out loud while you are alone together; for example, while you are both alone in the car or on a walk.

TL;DR in English: Arrange a time to talk. Ask while you are out shopping. Write a note or send a text.

After your tree is sanded, you can stain and seal the wood, or you can paint it. Before painting, wipe the wood clean with a water dampened rag, allow the dampness to dry, then:  Open a can of suitable wood primer. Mix it according to its directions. Then use long, smooth strokes with a clean paintbrush to apply several layers to the front of the tree from the top to its bottom.  Allow the primer to dry. Then open a can of suitable wood paint and mix it with a paint stirrer. Dip a clean paintbrush into the paint, wipe excess paint on the inside lip of the can, and paint the front of your tree top down with long, even strokes. After your paint is dry, if you want your pallet tree to have a more festive appearance, use decorations, like ornaments, ribbons, glitter, tinsel, and more. These can be attached to your tree with a suitable glue or tape.  You can create the effect of snow on the branches of your pallet tree by dipping a sponge into a little bit of white paint and lightly stippling them. If you want to draw a design on your tree but lack the artistic skill to freehand it, you can always make a stencil and use that to apply the design. For many Christmas celebrating cultures, a Christmas tree is not complete without a strand of lights circling around it. Take a string of lights and wrap it around the branches of your tree until it is completely strung.  If your lights don't hang easily on your tree, you may have to attach them in place. U-shaped tacks or sturdy tape, like duct tape, are useful for holding lights in place. To give your tree the most polished and authentic look, you may want to hide the front and back end of your string of lights behind the tree.

TL;DR in English: Paint your pallet tree. Add Christmas themed decorations, if desired. String up lights, if desired.

Use a flexible measuring tape to get the width of the chair's base as well as the chair's height. Write down your measurements on a piece of paper or on a note on your phone so you don't forget! A lot of slipcovers are sold as one-size-fits-all, but there might be gradations of size that will help you pick one that'll be a little more suited to your chair. There are lots of fabrics, patterns, and colors that you can choose from. Consider the other design elements that are already in the room where the chair goes and try to match that style for a cohesive look. Price out how much shipping will be (if you're buying online), and always ask about return policies. If you can't find an option in the stores or online that will fit your chair, look into having a slipcover made. Keep in mind that you'll be paying for the material, labor, and shipping, so it'll probably be a bit more expensive than a ready-to-buy option. Depending on the company you use and the complexity of your order, you might pay anywhere from $200 to $2000 for a custom slipcover. Your slipcover may have come into contact with some chemicals while it was being manufactured, so it's always a good idea to give it a wash before putting it on your chair. Follow the care instructions and make sure the cover is dry before you use it. Generally, slipcovers can be washed at home on the gentle cycle with cool water. Line-dry the item, or put it in the dryer on a low-heat setting. Keep your slipcovers in good condition by regularly cleaning them. If you notice they are dirty at any time between cleanings, go ahead and pop them in the washer—it won't hurt anything! Spot treat stains as they appear to keep your slipcover looking like new.

TL;DR in English: Measure your chair to determine what size cover you need to buy. Shop online and in physical stores to compare options and pricing. Order a custom-made slipcover if you have uniquely-shaped chairs. Wash your slipcover before using it to rid it of any irritants. Remove and wash the slipcover every 3 to 6 months.

If you plan to ask a guy to the dance directly, it might make you feel a little more confident if you internally go over what you plan to say a few times before you actually ask. That way, you won't have to worry about what the right words should be; you only need to worry about the act of saying them. On the other hand, you do not want to sound as though you are reading from a script. Get a general idea of what to say and how to say it, but ad-lib as needed and prepare yourself for unexpected questions or responses. Asking loudly in the middle of lunch with all of his friends and the entire cafeteria watching might not be the best idea, especially if you're not sure about his response. The best time to ask him is toward the end of the school day, during a moment in which you can pull him off to the side and ask him discreetly. Avoid asking him at the beginning of a shared class or school day. If he turns your invitation down, the rest of the time you spend around him that day can feel awkward. Keep in mind that there might be another girl who has already asked him to the dance, or that he might have other plans that day that would prevent him from going. Asking about whether he plans to go or not can save you some embarrassment.  If he says that he's going with someone else, that should give you your answer without you needing to ask the question. If he says that he's not going, find out why. He might be busy and unable to go, which rules him out as an option. If he just hasn't been asked, though, you have your chance. If you get the green light, directly ask him, “Would you go to the Sadie Hawkins Dance with me?” Look him in the eye and smile as you ask. Your body language should be confident and friendly. If his answer is yes, you can show your excitement, but try not to get too crazy about it. If his answer is no, smile, stay calm, and walk away with your head held high—after all, at least you were brave enough to ask. If you do get rejected and feel like you might get teary-eyed, excuse yourself politely...

TL;DR in English:


Obtain a small game license. Research what squirrels you can hunt. Observe proper hunting seasons. Familiarize yourself with bag limits. Choose your weapon. Take all of the proper safety precautions.

As difficult as it may be, leave your blisters alone and avoid scratching. They will crust over and then fall off on their own. If you scratch them, they will open up and become more susceptible to infection. You will also spread bacteria with your hands if you scratch at the blisters. If this does happen inadvertently, always wash your hands afterward to stay hygienic. Baking soda has a pH greater than 7 (making it alkaline), giving it the ability to neutralize the chemical that creates the itching sensation. The chemical creating the itching sensation is acidic with a pH that is less than 7.  Apply a paste made of 3 teaspoons baking soda mixed with 1 teaspoon of water. This relieves itching and helps the blisters dry out quicker. You can apply this paste as often as needed to relieve the itching. Use a cool, moist compress to ease discomfort. You can apply this compress for up to 20 minutes at a time, several times a day. You can make a cold compress by wrapping an ice block in a clean towel and pressing it against your skin. Alternatively, you can use a bag of frozen vegetables. Just make sure not to put it directly on your skin and not to keep it on your skin for more than 20 minutes at a time as both of these conditions can lead to tissue damage. Apply a topical cream, such as nonprescription benzocaine cream, directly after your cool compress application. Benzocaine works as an anesthetic, numbing the nerve endings in the skin. As an alternative, talk to your doctor about prescription 5% Lidocaine patches. You can apply the patch to the area where you're experiencing the pain, as long as your skin is intact. You can apply as many as 3 patches at once. You can wear your patches for up to 12 hours in a 24 hour period.

TL;DR in English: Try to keep from scratching at your blisters. Use a baking soda paste to reduce irritation. Apply a cold compress to your blisters. Spread Benzocaine cream on your blisters after you remove the cold compress.

This first step is admitting that your addiction has power over you and that you need assistance in breaking the cycle. This, some say, is the most important step.  People with addictions spend years believing that the substance they are addicted to is helping, not hindering them. That is why this first step is so important – it represents a monumental shift in thinking. This step is about being honest with yourself that you have a problem. Step 1 is humbling but also empowering, because now you have opened up to the possibility of healing. Although many 12 step programs talk about believing in a higher power in order to help restore your sanity, what this step is really all about is having an open mind to all the possibilities now being presented to you as you explore your journey towards recovery.  If it helps, think of the 12 step program itself as the “higher power.” This step is about having hope that there is something out there to help guide you in recovering. This step traditionally talks about giving yourself over to God for help, but what can apply from this situation to all 12 step programs is having faith that others, such as your sponsor, can help you. This step is about relying on the goodness and experiences of others. Step 4 is usually about putting yourself under a microscope, looking closely at the situations in which you find yourself drinking. You need to make a list of the situations that cause you to relapse or use alcohol. This step can be a really scary and intimate look at yourself, but can be very enlightening and empowering once you truly understand yourself. Steps 5, 6, and 7 are generally about asking your friends, family, sponsors, and others for help, but you also have to be really open to accepting their help, even when that means you get tough love.  These steps may involve sharing secrets you’ve not shared with someone else before, and you may feel ashamed of some of the things you’ve done, but this is a natural progression. Ask your friends to help you avoid places that...

TL;DR in English: Accept that you need help. Have an open mind. Give yourself over to the journey of recovery and those helping you. Have courage. Ask for and accept help. Make amends. Carry on.

If the values in a given set all occur the same number of times, the data set has no mode because no number is any more common than any other. For instance, data sets in which every value occurs once have no mode. The same is true for data sets in which every value occurs twice, three times, and so on. If we change our example data set to {11, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21} so that each value occurs only once, the data set now has no mode. The same is true if we change the data set so that each value occurs twice: {11, 11, 15, 15, 17, 17, 18, 18, 19, 19, 21, 21}. Generally, most data sets are quantitative - they deal with data in the form of numbers. However, some data sets deal with data that is not expressed in the form of numbers. In these cases, the "mode" can be said to be the single value that occurs the most in the data set, much as it is for numerical data sets. In these cases, it may be possible to find the mode while being impossible to find a meaningful median or mean for the data set.  For example, let's say that a biological survey determines the species of each tree in a small local part. The data set for the types of trees in the park is {Cedar, Alder, Cedar, Pine, Cedar, Cedar, Alder, Alder, Pine, Cedar}. This type of data set is called a nominal data set because the data points are distinguished only by their names. In this case, the mode of the data set is Cedar because it occurs the most often (five times as opposed to three for Alder and two for Pine). Note that, for the example data set above, it's impossible to calculate a mean or median because the data points have no numerical value. As noted above, it's possible for the mode, median, and/or mean to overlap in certain cases. In special, select cases where the density function of the data set forms a perfectly symmetrical curve with one mode (for example, the Gaussian or "Bell-Shaped" Curve), the mode, mean, and median will all be the same value. Because a distribution function graphs the relative occurrence of data points, the mode will naturally...

TL;DR in English: Recognize that no mode exists for data sets in which every value occurs the same number of times. Recognize that modes for non-numerical data sets can be found in the same way as for numerical data sets. Recognize that for unimodal symmetric distributions, the mode, mean, and median coincide.

Every body loves to receive gifts, and babies are no exception. Bring a baby an age appropriate toy to get them to like you. Search for fun, non-electronic, interactive toys for that baby’s age group. Then use that toy to play with them! If the baby in question is over six months old, and if their parents have already introduced solid foods, sharing a little bit of what you are eating can be a fun and easy way to make the baby happy and get them to like you. Excellent foods for sharing with a little baby are bananas or other very soft fruit. Always check with the parents to see which foods are allowed and what size bites are safe. Babies are surprisingly adept at accessing a person’s mood. You can foster a connection with the baby by taking on whatever mood they seem to be in. If they seem fussy, you may want to make fussy faces back at them. If they are cheerful, respond in kind. These small gestures of empathy can lead to the baby enjoying your company. Babies love to learn. Anytime you play with them, it can be a great opportunity for learning. You can teach them about the ABCs while playing with blocks, you can practice new words as you walk through the garden, or you can teach them the sounds of different animals when you play with stuffed animals. If you make an effort to teach them, babies will grow to love you. Babies as young as eight months old can start to be helpful around the house. If a baby is able to hold small objects, they can begin helping you clean up their toys. If they are mobile (crawling or walking), they can help even more. Even though a task will almost certainly take longer with a baby’s help, allowing a baby to help gives them a sense of belonging and pride. It is building a good foundation for them, and as a result, it will encourage them to like you.

TL;DR in English: Bring them toys. Share your food. Mirror their mood. Teach them. Let them help you.

Letting your kid write in shaving cream on a tray or pan will make the process more fun. You could also use whipped topping or pudding. Roll out lines to make letters with your kid. You can begin with their name to make it more interesting or go through the alphabet. To keep this less messy, try putting finger paint in a gallon zip-top bag and sealing it well. Be sure to squeeze out as much air as possible. Then your kid can trace letters on the outside of the bag. Write letters on the concrete with a hose or water gun. Your kid will be amazed at how fast the letters disappear. Just be ready to get wet. Give your kids letter blocks, magnet letters, or rocks with letters painted on them, as all of them encourage letter recognition in your child. These types of toys also help build dexterity and muscles. Ask your kids to identify letters when you're out places, helping them to see what letters make what sounds by saying the word out loud. When you see something that looks like a letter, point it out to your child. As an example, half a pretzel looks like an "E," while the top of a cup looks like an "O."

TL;DR in English: Get out the shaving cream. Spell out letters with Play-Doh. Use finger paints. Use a hose or water gun on a hot day outside. Encourage your child to play with letters. Incorporate letter-learning into your daily life. Compare everyday objects to letters.

Squirrels are categorized as small game in most states (interestingly they are classed as vermin in the UK) and are therefore subject to the statutes pertaining to small game hunting. Obtaining a small game license in any given state usually entails filling out a form with your address, a driver’s license number, and other information, as well as paying a small fee.  Though small game licenses aren’t usually as regulated, many states only grant a specific number of certain license types each year, so you may want to pay attention to the date your state begins accepting license applications for the year. For any questions you have regarding licensing, seasons, limits, etc. contact the proper governing body in your state. Each state’s hunting regulatory department goes by a different designation as well. For instance, in Nevada, it is the Nevada Department of Wildlife, whereas New York’s equivalent is the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Many states additionally regulate the specific breeds of squirrel you can hunt in any given season. In South Carolina, for instance, you can hunt gray squirrels, but many areas do not permit the hunting of fox squirrels.  These specific regulations vary by state and region based on existing populations. Many states may also differentiate between squirrel breeds that require a license at all. For example, the California Fish and Game Code classifies ground squirrels as non-game mammals, which can be hunted without a license if they are a nuisance to crops or property; however, all tree squirrels in the state are classified as small game and require the proper license. If you want to hunt squirrels on your own property because they are damaging your home or property, then check with your state’s regulatory department for specifics. This may require having a professional out to identify the breed as well. Each state will additionally observe widely varying seasons when it comes to squirrel hunting. For example, squirrel hunting season starts in Virginia in...

A mature bird of paradise plant can be divided into two or even three parts, so you'll have a few extra plants to keep or give to your friends. Carefully remove the plant from the pot, making sure not to damage the roots. You may need to use a spatula or another tool to help you remove the root ball. You'll see smaller shoots coming off of the main stem or trunk. Follow them down to the attached roots and carefully untangle the roots so you can separate the plant into two or three parts. A bit of root damage will be inevitable, but try to cause as little as possible.  You may need to use a knife to help you complete the separation. Cut off roots that get bent or damaged once the plants are separate. A clean cut is better than a tear. This step is not completely necessary, but it can help to increase the chance that the new cuttings will survive and grow into healthy plants. You can find rooting hormone at any garden center. Follow the directions on the product's package to lightly dust the ends of the roots with rooting hormone. Remember to choose a rich, well-draining potting soil, and fill each pot to within a few inches of the rim. Plant each cutting in the center of a separate pot. This gives the cut roots time to form a light protective seal, which will keep them from getting waterlogged when you water. After two or three days, care for the plants as instructed above.

TL;DR in English: Remove the plant from the pot. Carefully separate the plant where it naturally divides. Dust the roots with a rooting hormone. Re-pot the sections in rich potting soil. Wait two to three days before watering.

Generally, you should not hug complete strangers. Hugging is generally between friends, family members, lovers, colleagues or other people who know each other. However, if you are offered a hug by a complete stranger who is part of the “free hugs” campaign, you can decide whether to take them up on the offer. The “free hugs” campaign tries to increase communication and intimacy in society by offering hugs to strangers. You will see people with signs saying “free hugs” in public squares and streets. They may ask you if you want a free hug and you are free to accept or decline. It is bad protocol to hug colleagues when you have a cold, flu or any other contagious disease. You will make them sick and they will likely resent you for it. Likewise, you should avoid hugging anybody at work who is sick, since they could be contagious. Obviously, if you are having a covert affair with someone at work, it is wise not to reveal the affair by offering an overly intimate hug. If you are in a meeting with one or two people who are good friends or close colleagues and a bunch of other people you know less well, you should avoid hugging your friends and shaking everyone else's hands. Instead, you could go for drinks or dinner with your friends afterwards, at which time it could be fine to offer a hug. If you are in a social or workplace situation with an employee or someone you supervise, you should avoid assuming too much intimacy. Hugging somebody you supervise or who works for you in any capacity is likely crossing a boundary.

TL;DR in English: Avoid hugging complete strangers. Avoid hugging if you are contagious. Don't hug anyone you are having an affair with at the workplace. Don't hug a select few in a group meeting. Don't hug anyone you supervise.

The roof of your mouth is made up of a hard palate and a soft palate. If you touch it with your tongue, you can identify.   The hard palate stays in place. This is what's thought of as the roof of your mouth. It's the part of your mouth made of bone and covered with skin. It's encased between your teeth and attached to your skull.  Further back in your mouth is the softer, fleshier area of the soft palate. It can move up and down when you touch your tongue to it and it moves and stretches up whenever you speak, eat, yawn—basically anytime you use your mouth. Lifting your soft palate is key to controlling your voice, and can help you prevent singing through your nose. Imagine there is a ping-pong ball in the back of your mouth. You would need to have your soft palate lifted if there were an object back there taking up space.  Alternatively, you can do a half yawn. Notice that you lift or stretch your soft palate upward while you do this. Practicing this will familiarize you with the feeling of lifting your soft palate. You can also practice inhaling a soft K sound. This will naturally lift your soft palate, just slightly, so it is not as dramatic as the lift would be if you had a ping-pong ball in your mouth. Raise your soft palate and speak. You can try talking to yourself or doing something like reading a book out loud with your soft palate raised. It may feel and sound silly, but you will train yourself to be able to lift the soft palate on demand. This can also help you learn how to make noise with your mouth while raising your soft palate.

TL;DR in English: Identify your soft palate. Practice lifting your soft palate. Practice talking with your soft palate raised.

You might want to host your own television show one day. Put that down. Then, include an easier variation of that goal, like hosting a YouTube show that gets 5K views. The easier variations can act as stepping stones to the harder goals.  Do you want to write a novel? Start with publishing a short story in a local literary magazine. If one of your goals is to open a bakery, you could start by running a successful baked goods stand at your local farmer’s market. Looking at all of the items on your lifetime bucket list may be overwhelming. This can lead to inaction. Short term goals are less daunting, so try breaking up your list by time periods. You can break it up by decades, years, or seasons. For example, you might have mini bucket lists for your 20s, 30s, and 40s. Or, you might make a bucket list just for the summer. It’s completely up to you. Choose a time scale that seems most manageable. You bucket list may--and should--include items that seem difficult to achieve. The challenge of the bucket list is part of its beauty. That being said, you should remove any items that are completely unrealistic. Your list should contain items that are hard, but not impossible, to achieve.  For example, if you are a 50-year-old man with limited athletic experience, you will probably never be a professional basketball player. However, you might be able to win the championship in a local club league with practice. You shouldn’t remove an item just because it is expensive. Expensive goals can be achieved in creative ways. Go through your list, and place a star next to the 3 items you want to work on first. It’s a good idea to start with the items that excite you the most. If any items have a time limit, prioritize those. People are always growing and changing. Likewise, some of the things that are important to you may change over time. Your list should be flexible. Allow it to evolve as you do. A relevant list will help you stay motivated. Set aside some time each week to go over your list. Add or remove items if...

Examine the name. Consider the origin. Take into account accent marks and other diacritics. Look for diacritics indicating tone.

You will need to purchase and download a Microsoft Office package that includes both Excel and Access. You can do this online through the Microsoft site.  Once the programs are downloaded, click "Start" in Windows and select "All Programs."  Click on "Microsoft Office," and then select "Access" (or "Excel") from the drop-down menu. You may already have an Excel spreadsheet created that someone else sent you or that you downloaded from elsewhere. Having Office on your computer allows you to open it. It will make it easier if you do a few simple steps before you import the Excel spreadsheet into Access. The key is that your data must be consistent between imported spreadsheets.  It's a good idea to make sure that the first row in the Excel spreadsheet contains your column headers (or field names), and that these are very clear and easy to understand. For example, for a column containing people's last names, you may want to call the column header/field name "last name." Be clear and precise because it will make it easier when you try to match column headers in one Excel sheet with another. Access allows you to link common fields between two or among many spreadsheets. Let's say you have an Excel sheet that contains payroll information. It includes people's first and last names, addresses, and salaries. Let's say for the sake of argument that you want to match that sheet within Access to a second Excel sheet that contains information about campaign finance contributions. This second sheet contains people's names, addresses, and donations. What Access allows you to do is to match different column headers with one another. You could link name headers to see which people of the same name appear in both databases, for example. Scan the Excel sheets to make sure that each type of data is handled the same way, and clean it up before importing it into Access. It must be what Access calls "relational." For example, if the hypothetical spreadsheet for payroll contained first name, last name and middle initial in one...

TL;DR in English: Open both programs on your computer. Clean up your Excel spreadsheet before importing it into Access. Split information within a column in Excel. Continue using the wizard to split merged columns.

The first thing you’ll want to do is think about the girl and what you know she values in herself. Girls are conditioned to shy away from compliments and she’ll be much more open to accepting a compliment she agrees with. Notice what she’s proud of, from your experiences with her and compliment her on those things. For example, if she’s clearly very eager to share something she’s done with other people, that’s something you could compliment her on. Like yourself or anyone else, she probably likes to have her hard work validated. If you know she’s worked very hard on something or that there’s something she feels inadequate or self-conscious about, you can try complimenting her on that. This can be tricky though, so be careful how you do it.  For example, if she complains that she hates her nose, tell her that you think it’s cute. Another example would be if she clearly tries to work very hard in school, compliment her either on her work ethic, her determination, or her intelligence. For this type of compliment, whatever you compliment her on has to be honest. Don’t say something you don’t mean just to find something to compliment her on. Look back on the conversations you've had with her and find things to compliment her on that you know she values but thinks that she doesn't possess. Maybe you noticed that she told you she likes how hard you fight for the things that you want, but she fights just as hard. Maybe you noticed that she said she wished she had a figure like some other girl, but you think her figure is better. It is important to consider whether or not she actually possesses the quality you want to compliment her on. Telling her she’s good at something that she’s not will catch her notice and she’ll know you don’t mean it. The best thing to compliment a girl on is her personality. This is something that she has a certain amount of control over and it is something that is intrinsically her, rather than something like clothing which usually has very little to do with her and who she is. Think about...

TL;DR in English: Evaluate what the girl values in herself. Consider what she struggles with or works on. Think about the things that she values in you or other people. Compliment her personality. Compliment her accomplishments. Compliment her from your heart.

You'll need a venting system, but you'll have to choose between two types. There is rigid venting, which comprises a hard metal tube that works for distances no greater than 40 feet (12.2 m). There is also semi-rigid venting, which uses a flexible hose that works for no more than 20 feet (6.1 m).  In general, rigid venting is best for dryer vents that are installed at floor level. If you need to attach your dryer to a vent above floor level, you may need a semi-rigid vent hose. Or, if you use a rigid vent hose, you can attach a pair of elbow-shaped bends to the top (where the hose connects to the wall) and the bottom (where the hose connects to the dryer). Dryer vent hoses should be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in diameter. Use a metal vent hose rather than plastic or vinyl, as these are a fire hazard. Make sure the connections at both ends of the vent hose are secure. You can do this with hose clamps, duct tape, or foil tape. However, hose clamps are the most secure option, as tape can eventually dry out and lose its adhesive properties. Make sure that it is clear of lint and other blockages, and that the vent hood is still in place. Carefully clean out any buildup.

TL;DR in English: Attach a vent hose. Secure the vent with a hose clamp. Check your outside duct opening.

Fruits never contain gluten (since they are free of wheat products), and make great snacks. If you're not in a hurry, buy a selection: apples, peaches, plums, nectarines, and grapes can be eaten in any situation, and provide plenty of healthy vitamins. You can also purchase dried versions of most popular fruits, which are well suited for eating in a car or at work. Most supermarkets will stock dried apricots, raisins, and dried mango, among other dried fruits. Like fruits, vegetables will never contain gluten, and so are a reliable snacking option. Carrot sticks, celery, sliced bell peppers, and broccoli are a few popular vegetable snacks. If you'd rather not eat your vegetables plain, you can easily find a gluten-free dip to eat them with.  Pairing vegetables with hummus, nut butters, flavored cream dips, salad dressing, or chunks of cheese can offer healthy gluten-free snack options. Whole fruits, nuts, rice cakes, and salads are healthy, filling, and often gluten-free. These products are typically gluten free, since they do not contain wheat or any grain products or byproducts. Nuts can be found in either salted or non-salted variety; either makes for a tasty snack. If you have access to a large grocery store, you should be able to find plenty of varieties of nuts: peanuts, cashews, macadamia nuts, walnuts, pecans, and almonds are a few popular varieties of nut. Rice cakes are generally light and low on calories, and can be found in a variety of flavors. Meat does not contain gluten, so look for snacks that contain meat and minimal added ingredients. Jerky is by far the most popular meat-based snack (followed by the “slim jim” style of long, thin sticks of processed meat). Beef and turkey jerky are the two most common types of jerky, and can typically be found in the snack aisle of a grocery store. These products are gluten free, as long as they have not had a flavoring added which contains gluten (e.g. soy sauce or teriyaki). Specialty stores or natural-foods supermarkets may carry an even larger variety...

TL;DR in English: Buy fresh or dried fruits. Snack on vegetables and gluten-free dips. Shop for nuts and rice cakes. Find jerky or other meat-based snacks.

Bowling balls come in a variety of weights, ranging from 6 pounds (2.7 kg) to 16 pounds (7.3 kg). Choose a ball that is heavy enough for you to effectively roll down the bowling lane without straining yourself.  Heavier is not necessarily better. Remember, you will be tossing the ball two dozen times and what seems like a comfortable weight at first might not be so comfortable by the end of the night. For practice, try swinging a weight at home in much the same way that you would swing a bowling ball. If, after 23 times, your arm is tired, that weight level is too high for you. You want to have full use of arm strength through the duration of the game. As a general rule, you should be able to handle a bowling ball around 10% of your own body weight. Unfortunately, the poor grip quality of house balls at bowling alleys can make tossing these more strenuous. When working with a ball not specifically fitted to you, it might be necessary to use a lighter ball. Each bowling ball has holes for your thumb, middle finger and ring finger. Pick a ball with holes that allow your fingers to be inserted and removed freely, without being so loose that you lose control of the ball. Find a ball for which the distance between the holes (span) is comfortable for you. Try out several balls until you have a fit that feels comfortable.  For house balls, the size of the holes typically correlates with the weight on the ball. Heavier bowling balls feature larger holes, whereas lighter balls feature smaller holes. The limited range of options can make it difficult to find a ball that has the right weight and finger parameters for you, but you should keep on trying until you find the best fit. When purchasing your own ball, the pro shop should customize the span and finger holes to the size of your hand. Any quality store should fit a ball precisely to your needs without much effort on your part. A pro shop should also sell finger inserts, which can be useful when using other people’s balls. These can be transferred from one ball to...

TL;DR in English: Pick a comfortable weight. Find a ball that fits your fingers. Choose between a right-handed or left-handed bowling ball.

If you've seen it but not heard it, oftentimes just sounding it out in your head first can help a lot with your pronunciation. Work with each syllable in turn. Unless it's Welsh.  Think about other words you already know that look similar to the name. For example, the letters q-u-i in French sound like the word key in English. So just as the word "quiche" is pronounced keysh, the name "Quitterie" would be pronounced key-tree. Sometimes city names can get your mind going. Think of ones like San Jose, Guadalajara, Lille, Versailles, and Guangzhou. Does it look French? Spanish? Chinese? Know that every language has a unique alphabet and set of sounds associated with it, so any prior knowledge of languages will assist you in your pronunciation.  Spanish has a very consistent alphabet, unlike English. The vowels are always pronounced "ah," "eh," "ee," "oh," and "oo." French has a fairly consistent alphabet as well, but it's a bit more tricky. If the name ends in a consonant, don't pronounce it. "Robert" becomes row-bear. And a name like Michelle? It's mee-shell, not meh-shell. Mandarin Chinese is trickier still. The "Q" is pronounced ch, "X" is pronounced sh, and "Z" is pronounced dr. "Xiaojin Zhu" is shiao-jin drew. If you're a bit confused about "ei" and "ie" in German, opt for the second letter's name. "Steinbeck" has a vowel like "I"--the second letter. "Auf Wiedersehen" has a vowel like "E"--the second letter. They can significantly change the way a name is pronounced.  In Spanish, you want to put the most emphasis on the syllable that has the accent; e.g., María should be pronounced ma-REE-uh. Unfortunately, French doesn't follow the same rules. The sounds "è" and "é" are two different sounds. Though they are very similar, they are similar to eh (the sound in red) and ay, respectively. Examples of this include Renée (ruh-nay), André (on-dray), Honoré (ah-nor-ay), and Helène (heh-lehne). The most frequent character used with a cedilla is the "ç"; the cedilla makes it soft (ss, not kuh). Though this requires a...

Lilacs, tulips, forsythia, or small succulents are inexpensive options and will make cute invitations. Use card stock to write the party details (time, location, date), then attach it to the flowers with some twine.  Depending on how often you see your guests, you may need to plan ahead and start handing out invitations a few weeks ahead of time to make sure you have enough time to see everybody. If you can’t hand-deliver the invitations, that is okay! You could always make invitations on floral-themed paper and mail them out to everyone instead. Or, to keep things really simple, just send a text to everyone to let them know the details. It can be as detailed or a simple as you’d like. You can use your own yard if that is accessible to you, or you could plan to have the party at a local park. Have a tablecloth or blanket to put the food on, and ask friends to bring blankets or chairs to sit on. If you have to be indoors, brighten the space with fresh flowers. Clear away all the clutter you can, open the blinds to let in any natural sunlight, and enjoy spending time with your friends. Use your slow cooker to let the buns bake overnight, and then host a morning May Day brunch with the buns, coffee, tea, and fresh fruit. Or, if your gathering is later in the day, they’ll make a nice afternoon treat, too. Of course, if you don’t want to bake your own sticky buns, you could stop at a bakery to pick some up, too. Make snacks that will be easy to carry outside and that travel well, especially if you’re planning on having a picnic. Cut up several different kinds of cheese, like cheddar, brie, and gouda, and pair them with crackers. Cut up fresh vegetables and serve them with homemade dips. Fresh fruit, muffins, bread, olives, and pickles also make great May Day snacks. Use a hand press or an electric juicer to juice 2 to 4 oranges for each cup of juice you’d like to make. Serve the juice in cute glasses with decorative straws for an extra festive touch. For mimosas, fill a glass 1/4 to 1/2 way full of champagne. Top...

There are many types of hair, and therefore, there are various solutions for various hair types. If your hair looks frizzy, matte, or just not that great, take a look at your shampoo and conditioner bottles. Are you using a shampoo that matches your hair type? If not, try to get a shampoo that says it's for your hair type (such as curly, dry, colored, and so forth), and see if that helps.  If you have dry hair, look for products that say "hydrating" or "moisturizing." Try not to wash your hair every day. Instead, wash it every two to three days.  If you have oily hair, look for a clarifying shampoo, or something that says its meant for oily hair. Try leaving the shampoo on your scalp for up to five minutes. When it comes to conditioner, only use it on the ends of your hair.  If you have thin, limp hair, look for a volumizing shampoo. It will make your hair appear thicker and give it extra body. If you dye your hair, get a shampoo that says it's for "colored hair." It will help your dye job last longer. It will also take care of your hair and help keep it soft; most hair dyes are very harsh and drying on hair. How you wash and brush your hair will affect how it looks in the end. Here are some tips on how to get your hair to look its best:  Wash your hair no more than three times a week. The more often you wash it, the more oil it will produce. Use warm or lukewarm water instead of hot water. Hot water will cause your hair to lose moisture and frizz. Consider rinsing your hair with cool water; this will seal the hair cuticle, reduce frizz, and make it shiny.  Make sure you are leaving the conditioner in your hair long enough. Most brands needs to be left for three to five minutes, but you might want to check the label on the back of the bottle. Brush or comb your hair when it is almost dry. Start from the ends first, and work your way up towards the roots. Wet hair is very stretchy, and snaps easily. Curly hair can be beautiful, but it can also get frizzy and unruly. It tangles easily and gets in your face when...

TL;DR in English: Buy the right products for your hair type. Make sure that you are washing and brushing your hair properly. Know how to tame annoying frizz. Know how to take care of split ends. Use curling irons, flat irons, and hairdryers with care. Know what to do on bad hair days. Use the right styling products to get the right look. Experiment with different hairstyles.

The chemicals in the mortar can burn your skin. In addition to continuing to wear eye protection, slip on a pair of waterproof gloves. Long-sleeved clothing is also recommended to ensure dripping mortar can't reach you. The kind of product you want is labeled as mortar mix. Avoid sand or concrete mixes. Add the amount of mortar you need into a mixing container, such as a wheelbarrow or dishpan. Match the type of mortar you get to the type that's in the rest of your wall, if possible.  Mortar mixes come in different grades. M is the strongest and meant for walls bearing heavy loads. S is a little more flexible, N is for most walls exposed to the weather, and O is for interior and non-load-bearing exterior walls. If you don't know what's in your wall, you might need to guess based on the grading scale. the mortar with water until it's thick. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to figure out how much water to add. Stir the water and mortar mix together with a hand trowel. Try to get the mortar into a consistency similar to peanut butter.  You may also purchase latex additive from a home improvement store and add a little bit to make the mixture stronger. Start with small batches. You'll have an hour or less to use the mortar before it dries.

TL;DR in English: Put on safety glasses and gloves. Place dry mortar mix in a bucket. Mix

Loop the rope through the stern line, at the back of the boat, on the side furthest from the dock. Then, attach the forward quarter spring line, which is the line on the front, right hand side of the boat. Finally, secure the bow line, which is the line at the very top of the boat. Run the rope through the cleats on the boat to the cleats on the dock to set up the lines. There are 9 possible dock lines on a boat, however, you should only use 3-4 lines at once to tie up the boat. Using too many dock lines can cause the ropes to become tangled and actually make the boat less secure. Start by attaching the 2 stern lines at the back of the boat. Lay the lines over each other so they attach to the cleats on either side of the dock. Then, attach the 2 bow lines at the front of the boat, looping them into the cleats on either side of the dock. Make sure the dock lines touch both sides of the dock so the boat stays in place. Breast lines are located on the left hand side of the boat. They are short lines that extend straight from the boat to the dock. Though they require the least amount of rope to set up, they are not secure lines for tying up the boat as they are too short. They will also limit the boat’s vertical motion, making them unstable when you step on or off the boat. A good rule of them is to always make sure the stern, bow, and spring lines are attached at all times when you tie up the boat, as they are the most secure lines. You then add a breast line if you’d like once the other 3-4 lines are secure, but this is not required.

TL;DR in English: Use the bow line, stern line, and forward spring line for a short stop. Tie the boat with 2 bow lines and 2 stern lines for a longer stop. Avoid using breast lines alone to tie the boat, as they are not secure.

The Dark Web refers to a sliver of Deep Web data that is impossible to access without special software and links. Unlike most Deep Web data, information found on the Dark Web is usually comprised of broken links, dead websites, and other useless information. Much of the Dark Web's purpose is to provide anonymity to journalists, political dissidents, whistleblowers, and the like. While the Dark Web is mostly harmless if you aren't actively trying to get into trouble, the fact remains that the Dark Web's functional is largely used for criminal activity. On the flip side, the legal parts of the Dark Web are fairly plain.  Essentially, if you aren't attempting to get into illegal sites, you'll see a lot of broken links and slow load times for normal sites. If you are trying to access illegal content, doing so is much more likely to result in you getting caught rather than actually finding the content itself. While most Dark Web horror stories are nothing more than campfire tales, you should refrain from contacting anyone or downloading items from the Dark Web. While more secure than in past renditions, Windows 10 still contains security flaws that make it exceptionally vulnerable to hacking or virus attempts while browsing the Deep Web.   Linux is strongly suggested for people who plan on using the Dark Web, with Ubuntu Linux being a common (and free) option. If you're on a Mac, you should be fine as long as you use a VPN and Tor. There are a couple of basic things that you should do in order to prevent unpleasant encounters on the Dark Web:  Cover your computer's webcam. Password-protect your Internet connection if you haven't yet done so. . Before downloading Tor (if possible) or accessing the Dark Web, you must install and enable a Virtual Private Network (VPN). NordVPN and ExpressVPN are common choices, but you can choose any VPN that has the following features:  A kill switch for when your VPN goes down Quick load times Protection against IP and DNS leaks The ability to connect via another country's server...
