When ceasing alcohol or tobacco, the body may experience withdrawal without continued use. Withdrawal symptoms from tobacco and alcohol can include: anxiety, depression, fatigue, headache, nausea, shaking, stomach cramps, and elevated heart rate. While tobacco withdrawal can be unpleasant on both body and emotions, alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous. Severity of alcohol withdrawal symptoms varies by how much you drink, for how long, and your condition of health. Some symptoms can start within hours after drinking, peak within days, and improve within the week.  Alcohol withdrawal can lead to symptoms which causes severe mental and neurological problems. This may include body tremors, agitation, restlessness, fear, hallucinations and seizures. Seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms. If you are a long-term and heavy drinker, consider a medically supervised detox. While no prescription medication exists to concurrently treat alcohol and nicotine together, interventions exist to treat alcohol dependence and nicotine addiction.  Prescription medication can be used to treat alcohol dependence, including use of naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram. These medications can help with withdrawal symptoms and relapse.  Choose a method for nicotine withdrawal. While some people quit "cold turkey", others choose to taper off nicotine exposure in order to reduce withdrawal symptoms. Many options are available for nicotine replacement such as gum, a patch, nasal sprays and prescription medications (such as bupropion) while your body adjusts to lower levels of nicotine.

TL;DR in English: Observe withdrawal symptoms. Monitor withdrawal. Seek medication intervention.

Whether for a wedding, prom, or formal event, the tuxedo is a classic look that exudes style. The tux in its most basic form sports simple lines similar to a normal man's suit, but with the addition of silk bands on the outside hem of each trouser leg. The lapels on the jacket are also often fashioned with silk, helping to provide a more formal look.  In the contemporary US, tuxedos are usually considered the “gold standard” for formal wear. It might surprise you, however, that tuxes – called black tie attire for the black bowtie – are neither the most formal in men’s dress wear nor always appropriate for important occasions. Historically, there is a sort of hierarchy of menswear. Tuxedos actually grew out of was, for the time, relaxed evening wear as an alternative to the tailed frock coat. “Black tie,” then, is only one kind of “formal wear,” the other being the even more formal “white tie,” a similar outfit with white bowtie, tails, and often tophat.  White tie attire is usually reserved for the most fancy or formal events, like debutante balls, state dinners, and galas. Keep in mind that black tie is also not “day wear.” According to tradition, events that occur during the evening call for either white or black tie, while daytime events call for day wear like morning dress or a man’s business suit.  Morning suits are worn more often in Britain and feature a black or grey cutaway or morning coat, non-matching grey trousers—sometimes striped, buff waistcoat, tie, and often tophat.  Morning suits also come in a hierarchy, from formal morning dress to less formal morning suit and even the semi-formal “stroller,” which has no tails. When will your upcoming event occur? In general if your event is during the daytime, you should go with day wear like a morning suit. If it is after dark, you are safe to go with black or white tie formal evening wear. The rule governing the proper forms of dress has to do with when the event ends. So, for example, if you are attending a wedding that starts during the day but ends...

TL;DR in English: Figure out if “black tie” is right for you. Learn to tell the tuxedo apart from other forms of dress attire. Note the time of day. Check your invitation.

Sometimes, the easiest way to end a friendship is to do so indirectly. You may feel guilt about not being upfront with someone. However, if a person is very difficult to deal with, a confrontation can be more trouble than it's worth. If you fear someone would get aggressive or angry in response to you being upfront about ending the relationship, try to make an effort to gradually see less of this person.  You can stop sharing as much privileged information with someone. Do not talk about details of your personal life or share deep feelings with this person. Return texts and phone calls sparingly. Stop inviting this person to every social event you attend. With luck, this person will eventually take the hint that you are not interested in maintaining the relationship.  If this person asks you where you've been, be vague. Say something like, "I've just been busy" or "Work's been really stressful." While you may dislike the idea of being dishonest, not everyone deserves an official confrontation. It you truly feel this person is a loser, and is draining your time and energy, you do not owe this person anything.  In most cases, the person in question will eventually take the hint. However, sometimes people catch on to the fact they're being cold-shouldered. The person may demand to know why you are ignoring him or her. In this case, consider being honest about why you are ending this particular relationship. In the event you need to have an official confrontation with someone, you should prepare ahead of time. Decide what you want out of the conversation, as well as what you expect of the relationship going forward.  Think about why, specifically, you're ending this relationship. In anger, you may be inclined to say hurtful things, like, "I don't want to be your friend because you're a loser/a drain/a narcissist." However, this is probably not productive. You want to make a clean and quick break from this relationship and saying things that will result in an angry response from the other person will only serve to...

TL;DR in English: Taper off contact. Prepare ahead of time. Talk face-to-face, if possible. Consider writing a letter or e-mail. Be as straightforward as possible. Use "I"-statements. Be firm.

Read How to call Mayday from a marine vessel to learn how to do this. This is standard – 7 short horn blasts followed by one long one. The captain or other crew members may also use the intercom system to speak to all other crew and passengers. Be as prepared to exit the ship as time allows. If you have time to grab any additional survival items, do so. But only if doing so won't endanger your life or the lives of others.  If you have time, put on all your waterproof gear, such as headgear, jacket, and gloves. If there is an emergency survival suit available and time permits, put it on. Note that while survival suits increase your chances of surviving in cold water, they are unlikely to be provided on passenger ships. For crew who have access to such suits, they will usually be required to practice putting on this suit within 2 minutes. Attend to all infants, children, and pets after you've prepared yourself. This may be the most important step of all. If you don't know how to get to safety, the captain or one of the crew members will tell you how. Ship's crews are highly trained in rescue operations on many ships and will have a better understanding than you about what needs to be done to ensure your safety. You should only attempt to escape on your own if there is no authority present to give proper directions. A well-run ship will have a "muster station" where everyone needs to gather in preparation for evacuation. If you received a safety drill in going to a muster station, try to comply with it.  If you can't hear or understand the directions (for example, it's not your language), keep one thing in mind - head up and off the ship. Heading to the center or inner levels of the boat is not wise but don't be surprised if people do this as a result of panic. If the captain assigns you with tasks, speak up if you don't feel you can comply. Otherwise, do your best to help out. and don't panic. It may sound like an inevitable cliché, but the more you panic, the longer it will take to get to a lifeboat. Studies...

TL;DR in English: Send out a Mayday if you're in charge of the sinking ship. Listen for the evacuation signal. Put on your personal flotation device (PFD). Follow directions. Stay calm Focus on escaping via the quickest route, not the shortest route. Make your way to the deck. Find a lifeboat. Stay calm in the lifeboat. Expect some harsh realities.

Almost every town or city has at least one comic book shop. For obvious reasons, these places will usually be your best bet when it comes to scoring both new and old Marvel comics. In addition to the current runs, most comic shops boast an impressive archive of older issues.  Comic shops tend to have a much wider selection than bookstores and other non-specialized retailers. You’ll also find lots of other Marvel merchandise at comic book shops, including movies, toys, apparel, and collectibles. The majority of the selection at bookstores like Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Books-A-Million is made up of sizable releases like graphic novels, compendiums, and collected series. They can be a good place to pick up your favorite titles if you’re more interested in reading them than in collecting the issues individually.  In most bookstores, single issues are displayed on wire racks rather than on the shelves. These racks may be mixed in with the magazines and newspaper. Some book retailers mark up the prices on popular comic book series quite a bit. If you’re looking for a bargain, it may be wise to look elsewhere. The next time you’re out buying groceries, walk through the literature aisle and take a look at the comics selection. Grocery stores typically only stock the latest issues, but you may also be able to turn up some older issues and special releases like trade paperback collections.  A lot of the time, it’s cheaper to buy comics from the supermarket than from a comic shop or brand-name book retailer. One downside of grocery store comics is that they may be in poor shape due to frequent handling. Not only will previewing the comics you come across give you a sneak peek of the artwork and storylines they contain, it will also let you evaluate the condition of the issue. If you like what you see, tote your selections to the checkout counter and take them home! If you’re a die-hard collector, think twice about buying comics with covers or pages that are bent, crumpled, torn, faded, or otherwise damaged. These...

TL;DR in English: Visit your local comic book shop to browse a wide selection of issues. Explore major releases in the graphic novel section at big book retailers. Keep an eye out for Marvel comics at the supermarket. Flip through the titles you’re interested in before you buy them.

You can certainly go to the nearest discount store and pick up a pack of traditional red bandanas to use to dress up your dog. However, you can also find great bandanas online through pet retail stores or dog grooming supplies stores. From your favorite sports team, a biker motif, or just a cute and funny pattern, bandanas come in a huge array of patterns. Pick a simple colored bandana or a wild multi-colored pattern, whatever you desire.  Many people enjoy purchasing various themed bandanas for the seasons or various holidays. If you are handy with a sewing machine you can make a bandana from a square of fabric with the edges finished with a simple hem. For small dogs or puppies a 14 inch square of cloth is good. For medium sized dogs an 18” square of cloth is good. For large dogs you should get a 22” square and for giant breed dogs a 26” square is needed.

TL;DR in English:


Remember what you were thinking about before you went to sleep. Remind yourself of what you did yesterday. Look into dream meanings. Write down anything interesting you find in the journal. Use your own feelings and thoughts to interpret the dream.

T-scores are typically reported in terms of standard deviations from the mean bone density score for young, healthy adults of your gender. The number indicates how close or how far your bone density measure is from the average.  If your T-score is -1, 0, or a positive number, your bone density is considered normal and healthy. If your T-score is between -1 and -2.5, your score indicates that you may be at risk of osteoporosis. Your bone density is lower than average and you may have osteopenia, which can lead to osteoporosis. If your T-score is below -2.5, you likely have osteoporosis. Your bones are likely weak, brittle, and prone to breaks from falls or even from some regular activities. This score gives a reading of your bone density in comparison with other individuals of your weight, sex, racial or ethnic background, and age.  If your Z-score is -1, 0, or a positive number, your bone density is comparable to that of other people of your demographic characteristics. If your Z-score is -2 or below, your bone density is worse than average for people of your demographic characteristics. This result points to the possibility that there may be a cause of your bone loss other than aging; you may need additional testing and treatment to delay or prevent additional loss of bone density.

TL;DR in English: Evaluate your T-score. Evaluate your Z-score.

Sometimes, when someone is really hurt or angry, he just needs some time to process what's happened. He might want to take a few days or even a week to think about what you've done, and that's okay. He needs that time to get in the right head space. If you are trying to get someone to forgive you, you can't argue your way to that end. In other words, once you've said you're sorry, leave the discussion alone. You are not going to convince him by arguing that you are in the right. If you feel like you need to do something to show you're sorry, surprise him. You can bake cookies or get him a present that you know will mean something to him. Doing something thoughtful can show you still care. You need your guy to forgive you, of course, to move on in the relationship. However, you also need to forgive yourself. Everyone does bad things sometimes, and in the grand scheme of things, what you did was probably not that bad. Even if it was, you still shouldn't blame yourself forever. Give yourself permission to stop feeling bad about it. That doesn't mean you should completely forget about it. You should definitely use what you've learned to do better in the future. As much as you'd like to make it true, no one has an obligation to forgive someone else. It may be that you just have to learn from this mistake and move on with someone else.

TL;DR in English: Give your guy space. Don't argue the point. Surprise him with something he loves. Realize everyone makes mistakes. Understand that he doesn't have to forgive you.

Whether this means donating clothes to your church’s next fundraiser or buying a sandwich for that homeless man you pass on the street every day, take action. Proverbs 19:17 says, “Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.” Virtually every community has individuals that need a helping hand. And if you're uncomfortable giving money, that's fine – do you have some old clothes you don't wear anymore? Could you bake a dish for a family you know, or give it to a homeless shelter? Could you make a craft to brighten someone's day? Money isn't the only route to happiness! Tell the world of His glory! A simple way to be a better Christian is to be proud of your faith and to talk of how wonderful it feels, being so loved. Do your part to better the world by spreading His message. Who knows, you could change a few people’s lives!  When you see people who are sick or in pain  offer to pray for them and expect God to heal them You don't have to do this directly (some people will not be receptive and view even the smallest comment as evangelizing); instead, you can attribute your happiness and success to the Lord. Simply embodying Him is spreading His power. Don’t put on a show on the outside that you think He would approve of, but that you don't truly feel on the inside. The opposite is true, too: don't put on a show on the outside to blend in, asking for forgiveness later. When your religion comes up, be open about it. You have nothing to be ashamed of! Be genuine about your doubts, too. It’s only if you open up about them that others can reinforce your belief, making it ultimately stronger. Give tithes to the church, as written in the Bible, for the betterment of those less fortunate that the church can help that one person alone may be unable to reach. This includes your time as well as your possessions. But other organizations would benefit from your time and money, too – so spread the love as much as you can! In Corinthians it is said, “Each one must give as he has decided...

TL;DR in English: Help the poor and destitute. Spread His word. Be genuine about your religion. Donate to your church and to charity. Go to church ‘’and’’ get involved. Vote.

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

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

If you feel that your device has been stolen, do not try to retrieve it yourself. Instead, report it to the police and let them take care of the problem for you. Trying to retrieve your phone yourself could land you in serious trouble, and may even cost you your life. The speed with which you need to do this and the extent of it will depend on how much you use your phone for online interaction. For some, this may be very little, while for others, it could be a huge task. You may also want to cancel any credit/debit cards that were registered to any online stores through that device (like the App store, for example).  If you're worried that the phone is in someone else's hands, the sooner you do this the better, as identity theft is a serious and widespread issue. It's better to take the time to reset your passwords and logins before physically hunting further for your phone. This will minimize the potential damage someone could do with access to your information, and if you do find your phone then using new passwords is only a minor inconvenience. Start with your most important passwords. This typically includes email, bank accounts, Facebook, and online storage. Deal with financial and personal information first. After you have changed your major passwords, you can reset passwords for less important services. Have your account details handy, so that your account can be closed down. You may need a password or passcode, if you designated one for your account. Having your service provider cancel the phone will help keep someone (whether a thief or someone who finds your phone) from making unauthorized calls with your SIM card. If you have a phone that is paid by usage rather than prepaid, and you cannot find it within 2 hours, it usually is a better idea to call your phone company immediately and tell them to deactivate your phone. Visit the police station. Smartphone insurance providers will often want a police report, if you intend to file a claim through your pre-paid insurance option. Some phone companies...

TL;DR in English: Be smart and safe. Cancel your passwords and logins. Contact the telephone company. Report it.

Before you go to sleep, it can be helpful to write a few lines in your dream journal about what you did that day, the thoughts that are going through your mind, etc. This can help you make sense of your dreams later on.  Often, if you spend time comparing your dream to what you were thinking about before bed time, you may notice that similar themes appear. For example, if you were worrying about a big exam, and then you have a dream where you show up naked for class one day then you can see that your dream might have been influenced by your exam stress. Think about all the activities you took part in, the people you saw, and any television shows you might have watched. Your subconscious sometimes takes things that have gone on recently, and links them to other things in your subconscious.  If someone you saw recently showed up in your dreams, write down the last time you saw them. It may not be immediately helpful, but writing down this information might help you identify patterns and themes over time. There are lots of theories about why we dream, but scientists aren’t really sure what the purpose of dreaming is. Although many scientists say that dreaming serves no real purpose, it can still be fun and interesting to look into what your dreams are trying to tell you. Many people believe that interpreting dreams can provide a glimpse into what is going on in your unconscious mind. You can do an internet search for, “what does my dream mean?” and find lots of websites that offer free dream dictionaries. You can also look for books that offer interpretations of dreams. If you are using a website, try to compare the meanings you find among several dream dictionaries to see if they are similar. If, in your internet search, you find something that you think is really interesting, and that makes sense to you, write it down in your journal. Writing everything you find interesting can be very helpful when looking for themes and patterns. While you can use a dream dictionary to find out what your dreams mean, it is...

Seek out a professional hypnotist that specializes in memory recall. Get a referral for a trained therapist who does hypnosis from your doctor. Watch online videos of hypnosis.

Take your dog to the vet as soon as you notice that they have difficulty climbing the stairs or appear to be in pain when they move. The vet may find that your dog has a condition or disease that makes mobility painful. Follow any treatment plans the vet recommends and see if that improves your dog's flexibility. If your dog is already being treated for a condition or disease such as dysplasia or a tumor, ask the vet to reevaluate the medication since the medication might be causing stiffness. Ask the vet to refer your dog so you can work on improving their mobility, especially if their limited mobility is caused by back pain or arthritis. A physiotherapist will use exercises that get your dog moving which may make them more comfortable with going upstairs.  If you can't take your dog to a physiotherapist, ask the vet to show you simple exercises you can do with your dog at home. For example, the vet may recommend that you take the dog swimming or go for gentle walks. Ask about using hydrotherapy as a treatment option. This works great as an exercise that builds muscles without putting any strain on your dog’s joints. If you think your dog's stiffness is preventing them from climbing the stairs, take your dog to a veterinary acupuncturist. The acupuncturist will insert needles into specific pressure points that should improve your dog's range of motion. Keep in mind that you may need to take your dog for more than 1 session a week. It may take more than 2 or 3 weeks before you notice results in your dog. Ask the vet about giving your dog a daily glucosamine supplement to help repair cartilage in their joints. This is especially helpful if your dog resists going up the stairs because their arthritis makes it painful. Look for a pet glucosamine supplement that's designed specifically for aging dogs. Depending on your dog's condition, they may benefit from regular, gentle exercise. Short walks of less than 15 minutes along paths or slight slopes can strengthen the muscles in your dog's back legs which could make...

TL;DR in English: Get a thorough medical exam for your dog. Take your dog for physiotherapy treatments. Try veterinary acupuncture sessions. Add a glucosamine supplement to your dog's diet. Take your dog for short walks.

If you don’t have a projection screen or you’re outside in full sunlight, a PowerPoint won’t be the best way to present your data. PowerPoint presentations are still the gold standard of the business world; however, you might be able to employ a laptop, a projector or even cell phones to ensure you are reaching your audience. There’s very little reason to design your own template when so many slideshow programs give you compelling templates to choose from. Consistency allows the listener to notice the information, rather than the way it’s presented. Don’t change colors, fonts or structure unnecessarily. Use white space so that the audience’s attention is focused on particular data. Your speaking will provide the insights, so give the data in the most straightforward way. This is a chart or graph that incorporates pictures with data and words to form a coherent, and very attractive, story. You may need to use an infographic service or hire a graphic designer. Make sure you don’t simply use stock imagery. Any way you can tie in company or emotional images will create a better response. These things can detract from a presentation, rather than add to it. A no frills approach is usually best. Ask someone else to proof them. Including typos or incorrect data will reflect poorly on you.

TL;DR in English: Pick your platform strategically. Select a template that fits your audience. Choose a consistent design. Avoid excessive text in your slides. Use graphs, charts and other visual tools, in place of bulleted lists whenever possible. Try using infographics. Use photographs that are relevant. Focus on the slides themselves, rather than the music or transitions. Proof your visuals.

Look for a non-greasy, non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) moisturizer with SPF. Use a sunscreen with substantial SPF (30 and higher), as lower SPF levels will not provide enough protection from UVA/UVB rays. Suggested reapplying times can usually be found on the product you are using however most dermatologists stress the importance of reapplying sunscreen every 30-40 minutes. Obviously, your skin type will affect how often you need to reapply, as fairer skinned people need to reapply quite often. The sun's rays dry out your skin, leaving it deprived of the vital nutrients needed for cell repair.  Aloe vera is a good moisturizing option, as it soothes and heals sun burns, as well as products that contain Vitamin E. You can also use home remedies like a cucumber and milk paste, or yoghurt. Applying either product will help to minimize the flaking that happens as a result of a sunburn or sun damage. If you are sunburned, you should not be in the sun for prolonged periods of time until your skin is fully healed. If you must go out, be sure to use a high SPF sunscreen. Even if they have SPF, it will likely be too low to be of any help to your skin. Also, most of these products speed up burning, rather than tanning, and will not improve your sun damaged skin.

TL;DR in English: Wear sunscreen whenever you are in the sun, especially for long periods of time. Reapply sunscreen as often as possible, especially if you have been sweating or swimming outside. Moisturize daily, as well as both before and after prolonged sun exposure. Avoid the sun if your have a sunburn or visible sun damage. Avoid tanning oil or tanning cream.

Because of the hormonal changes and physical pressure of pregnancy, your feet will probably swell at some point. Hormones can cause your body to retain fluid. This fluid and the growing baby can put pressure on the veins in your pelvis and legs, restricting the blood flow to your feet. You may notice swelling get worse in the evening, in warmer weather, or in the third trimester. If you have preeclampsia, your blood pressure increases and too much protein is excreted in your urine. You might see swelling on your face, hands, and feet. You may also have headaches, shortness of breath, or abdominal pain. Since preeclampsia can become very serious very quickly you should contact your doctor. If you're diagnosed with preeclampsia, your doctor will consider the specifics of your pregnancy to manage the condition. Once you're 37 weeks, the doctor will probably want to deliver the baby to prevent complications. DVT is a serious condition during pregnancy because blood clots can form in the veins of your legs. If you notice swelling, pain, tenderness, warmth, or redness in only one of your legs, contact your doctor immediately. DVT can happen during pregnancy because more clotting factors are produced and there's more pressure on the veins of your pelvis. Your doctor will probably recommend starting injections of a medication that prevents the clot from getting bigger so your body can break it down. You'll need injections throughout your pregnancy and up to six weeks postpartum. If your swelling is associated with redness or severe tenderness  in your feet, you may have cellulitis. Cellulitis is a bacterial infection deep within your skin. You may also have a fever. Pregnancy can increase your risk for cellulitis, so if you think you may have it, contact your doctor. Treatment for cellulitis usually includes antibiotics. Your doctor will choose antibiotics that are safe for you to use depending on which trimester you're in. Always let your physician know about any swelling that you have during pregnancy. You should...

TL;DR in English: Learn what causes normal swelling. Watch for signs of preeclampsia. Recognize symptoms of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Look for signs of cellulitis. Get medical attention for swelling.

For typical small jewelry such as an earring, you'll want a strip of sterling silver at least 2.5 inches wide and no more than 3.5 inches long. You can adjust these dimensions if you have a specific design in mind, but it may become a little harder to work with. 22 gauge and 24 gauge sheeting are commonly used. Sterling silver may be labeled "ster" or ".925." Silver is soft enough to be cut by a jeweler's saw, but will need buffing afterward to smooth out the sharp edges. These specialized tools can be found at craft stores, hardware stores, or online.  A jeweler's saw with a saw blade numbered 2/0 A small buffing machine with canton flannel wheels (or a bench grinder with the grinding wheel replaced)  Jeweler's rouge or blue polishing compound. (Scratched silver may require white rouge or brown Tripoli polishing compound instead.) For earrings: sterling silver ear hooks, a drill, and a number 64 drill bit For surface designs: a metal stamp and hammer. Insert the saw blade into the upper end of the jeweler's saw and fasten the wing nut. Insert the lower end and tighten the wing nut while pulling on the frame to add tension. The buffing machine may already come pre-assembled, or you may need to consult to add the buffing wheels according to your model's instructions. Mount the buffing machine on your workbench. To test the saw, stroke the blade with a fingernail and listen for a "Ping" sound. If it does not make this sound, tighten the saw until it does when stroked. You can sketch out the shape yourself, or find a design online or in magazines. For a pair of matching earrings, make two identical copies. Tape the design over the silver sheeting and use the saw to cut through the outline.  Use a slightly forward tilt to the saw as you cut. Move the saw up and down as you cut. The easiest way to add detail to the surface is to purchase a stamp designed to imprint silver. To stamp a thin sheet of silver, lay the stamp over the metal and hammer it in firmly. Make sure the stamp stays flat and in position while you...

TL;DR in English: Pick the silver. Gather supplies. Assemble the jeweler's saw and buffing machine. Choose a design that you would like to use. Cut the silver in the chosen shape. Stamp the clay (optional). Polish the jewelry on the buffing machine. Wash in warm soapy water. Attach an ear hook to each earring.

Many people use professional hypnotists to help them remember important details of an event, work through a trauma, or remember where they placed important information. You can look for hypnotists who specialize in memory recall through an online search. In a typical session with a professional hypnotist, you will be put under a light trance and the hypnotist will use oral cues to guide you. You can ask the hypnotist to help you remember where you put an important document or password, or you can ask for help to better retain information and improve your memory. Your doctor may be able to suggest a medical professional who practices hypnosis. When hypnosis is performed by a trained therapist or a healthcare professional, hypnosis is considered a safe alternative medicine by the medical community. Keep in mind hypnosis is often used by medical professionals to help with medical conditions like controlling pain due to disease or illness, hot flashes, behavioral changes such as phobias and smoking, and fatigue or exhaustion. While there have been some studies done in the medical community on the effectiveness of hypnosis to retain information and improve memory recall, it is not considered a primary function of hypnosis as an alternative medical option. There are several online videos that can guide you through hypnosis specifically for memory retention and better information recall. Often, doing self-hypnosis with the aid of an audio guide from a professional hypnotist in an online video can help you to get into a trance-like state and deepen your trance.

When you decide to move to Belize, you will first need to obtain a tourist visa to remain in the country for over 30 days. If you have received citizenship status through marriage or descent, this is not applicable to your situation.  All visitors, besides cruise ship passengers, must present a valid passport before entering the country. Your passport must not expire within three months of your arrival date. You can stay in Belize for up to one month without a visa. If you decide to stay longer than a month, you must go to the Immigration Department in Belize City or Belmopan to receive a visa extension and to pay for a new tourist visa.   All prospective Belizean residents must enter the country on a tourist visa until they have completed one year of residency. Tourist visas are intended for short stays, and can be extended up to one year. They do carry certain requirements and can be renewed.  Check to see if your current country of residence requires a specific Belize visa to enter Belize. There is a flat rate fee for a tourist visa that increases after the sixth month of your stay.   If you are driving or boating into Belize from either Guatemala or Mexico, you will receive a temporary importation permit for your transportation.   You cannot legally work in Belize with a tourist visa so ensure that you come to the country with enough funds to sustain yourself. Permanent residency is the first step in becoming a citizen in Belize if you are not the relative or spouse of a Belizean citizen. Applicants for permanent residency must live in Belize for one year prior to applying.  To become a permanent resident, you must first enter the country on a tourist visa. You will then apply for residency and renew your tourist visa every 30 to 90 days until your residency is denied or granted. During this one-year period, you may not leave the country for more than 14 consecutive days. To apply for permanent residency you will need to complete Permanent Residency Application form, take an HIV and STI test, provide...

TL;DR in English: Enter Belize on a tourist visa. Renew your tourist visa. Apply for permanent residency. Apply for the Qualified Retired Persons Program. Apply for citizenship.

Buddha, along with modern-day teachers, teach that it’s these intuitive promptings from your higher self that are the real you, not the mind. The mind only represents your conditioning and ego. By moving away from it and into your being is when you are truly at your best. Everyone, in the ordinary consciousness state, moves into the self and away from the mind on occasion. But, with practice, you can live from this place of no-mind or no-thought most of the time. People who have learned how to be in no-mind report that they only think a small percentage of the time and when they do, it’s a pure, unadulterated form versus being all over the place. When you first start, this period of no-thought will be short, but it will gradually increase over time. When these periods do occur, however, you will feel a certain peace and stillness inside that you may have never felt before. Know that you are on the right track with your natural state of being, which has been obscured by the mind for so long. With practice, this sense of peace and stillness will deepen with you and will stay no matter what’s going on around you. Many people have such a vested interest in their mind that they are the ones who have the most challenging time getting away from it. So the less you buy into the antics of it, the easier time you will have trusting that your higher self knows what’s best for you. In other words, don’t hold on to them. What you will find with practice is that they will go as easily as they came into you. Also, like the mind, these emotions are not who you are as a being. However, they are a guide and are definitely needed in life. The key, though, is to not react to them on the inside. When you look at it this way, because it actually is accurate, it’s a much simpler way to live.

TL;DR in English: Focus on what your being is saying to you versus the mind. Pay particular attention when you have no thoughts or are in a no-mind state. Trust that these intuitive prompts are enough to carry you through life. Allow negative emotions to wash over you and out. Understand the only thing you are really ever expected to take care of in life is the present moment.

Clean Magic Eraser. This cleaning tool can be found in most supermarkets. You may be able to find an off-brand version for cheaper as well. Make sure to scrub in straight lines from the center outwards. Apply a fair amount of force so that the eraser can polish the scratches, but not so much that it wears away the entire layer. After you've finished polishing the scratches with the magic eraser, run the disc under a water tap and dry it off with a soft cloth. When drying, use the same motion that you used to erase: straight lines from the center out to the edges. After you've finished polishing and rinsing the disc, you can try playing it again. If it still doesn't work, you can go another round with the magic eraser, or try another method from this article.

TL;DR in English: Purchase a Mr. Use the eraser to scrub the scratches. Rinse and dry the disc. Try the disc.

Fruit juice isn't the only thing that can keep bananas from turning an unappealing brown. For example, soda water and club soda are known for their ability to keep sliced fruit fresh. Best of all, these liquids have the added benefit that they don't affect the taste of banana. Use them as you would use fruit juices, soaking the slices in the soda water before serving or storing them. Be sure to use soda water or club soda. Tonic water, a beverage that looks the same, has a strong flavor that doesn't go well with bananas. Tap water doesn't work quite as well as fruit juice or the other solutions in this article, but it's something you'll always have available and it's basically free. This, too, is used the same as the fruit juices: soak the banana slices in the water before using them how you wish. Citric acid (the same chemical that makes citrus fruits like lemons sour) is sold in a purified form as a canning additive. In this form, it is specifically used to keep fruit from discoloring as it stores. However, it's often difficult to find pure citric acid. Your best bet will usually be a health food store or a hardware store. Luckily, it is not especially expensive — less than $10 for a small bottle is common. To use citric acid, add three teaspoons to a cup of water and mix. Soak the slices in the bath as normal. Don't use undiluted citric acid, as it is far too sour. Vinegar can be used similarly to citric acid to keep fruit fresh. However, its strong sourness also makes it necessary to dilute it. As with citric acid, add a few teaspoons to a cup of water to make a bath and soak the banana pieces as normal. Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, is another acid that can keep fruit from turning brown. Powdered vitamin C can usually be found in most supermarkets as a cold-fighting supplement. Dissolve this in water (according to the directions on the package) to make a bath and soak the banana slices as normal. If you're in a pinch, a ground-up vitamin C tablet works as well. Since banana slices turn brown when they are...

TL;DR in English: Use soda water. Use tap water. Use diluted citric acid. Use diluted vinegar. Use dissolved vitamin C. Limit exposure to air.

Luckily, starting a promotion company does not require a large amount of startup money. You can easily work from home with a laptop and phone in the beginning if you're willing to meet with clients at their location. You may also need a varying amount of money to buy promotional materials, pay venue advance payments, and for other incidental expenses, depending on your services offered. If you are printing promotional materials, you will also need a printer or money to pay a printing service. Reduce your capital needs by looking for venues without large advance deposits, working on word-of-mouth advertising, and keeping ad spending low. Register with you city using a doing business as (DBA) name. You'll receive a business license, after which you can legally start doing business. Check with your local chamber of commerce to see if there are any special permits or licenses you need. If you are founding an actual company, like an LLC or partnership, you will need to decide on a structure for it. You'll then have to file articles of organization with your state to officially register the company. You may also be responsible for signing up to collect state sales tax and for buying insurance coverage. Check with your local branch of the Small Business Administration (SBA) for more information. Buy a computer and a phone that you can use for business purposes. Make sure to use a dedicated phone for business purposes, rather than just using your cell phone. If you need any other office or production equipment, be sure to purchase them as cheaply as possible to reduce your startup costs. You will need to have a network of industry professionals that you can use to support your events or create materials for you, particularly if you intend to offer a full suite of services. Make a list of contractors such as printers, caterers, event organizers, and luxury limo services. Look through reviews and local listings to find the best services. Their professional service and products will make your promotion company look good as well.

Wipe down the area. Apply cleaning products. Use a natural remedy. Repeat as necessary. Hire a professional.

Although plastic grocery bags are an option if you have no other bags available, it is recommended to use small doggie bags to pick up your dog’s poop. Different types of doggie bags are available at your local pet store. Since picking up poop can be a smelly process, consider purchasing scented doggie bags. Many bags also come with ties that make it easier to close the bag after picking up your dog’s poop.  Bring several doggie bags with you each time that you take your dog out for a walk. By doing this, you will be prepared if your dog needs to defecate during the walk.  Bio-degradable doggie bags are also available, which are more eco-friendly than regular plastic doggie bags. When you stoop down to pick up your dog’s poop, whether you are walking your dog or picking up after him in your yard, turning the bag inside out will help keep your hand clean. Place your hand on the inside of the inverted bag as if you were  putting on a glove. With your hand safely on the inside of the inverted bag, firmly grab the poop on the ground and pick it up. If you are picking up poop that is on concrete, try to pick it up as cleanly as possible (e.g., not scraping your hand along the concrete as you’re picking up the poop). If the poop is in the grass, make a claw-like circle with your fingers and then get as far under the pile as possible before lifting up the poop.  Keep in mind that picking up the poop will be easier if it is solid rather than mushy or diarrhea-like. If you are cleaning up dog poop in your yard, you may need multiple bags, depending on how long it has been since you’ve cleaned up after your dog. If you are out on a walk and either forget or run out of bags, consider going to a nearby store to ask for a bag or disposable cup to pick up your dog’s poop. If you are not near a store, try to find something on the ground that could work, such as a large and sturdy leaf.  Make sure that you have a firm grip on your dog’s leash if you are picking up his poop while you are walking him. Use your free hand to...

TL;DR in English: Purchase plastic doggie bags. Turn the bag inside out. Pick up your dog’s poop. Turn the bag right side out. Tie up the bag.

Dog body language is complex and can often be misread.There is no universal sign of anxiety or fear to look for because every dog reacts differently. It is not unusual for one fearful dog to act aggressive and another to run away and hide. Both dogs want to be safe, but they process the situation differently. Most of the time, this will be obvious. Your dog is clearly afraid of thunder, a specific person, a loud sound, or a particular space. Put yourself in your dog’s place. You know little of the world, but you see something formidable. How would you react? Have empathy for your friend. Take your dog into another room if a particular person is making it anxious. Close the blinds and turn up the music to mask the sound of thunder or fireworks. If your dog wants to turn tail and hide in its safe space, perhaps its crate, cover it with a light blanket, to help muffle the frightening sound. Again, the method you choose to employ to calm your dog all depends on what it is afraid of.  You can create a safe space for your dog, by opening a door to a room away from the loud sounds or your can crate train it. In the latter case, your dog will come to find its crate to be the most comforting place of all. You want to give your dog something else to focus on — something “positive” and even productive. Does your dog have a favorite toy or chew stick? If so, present your dog with it to distract it from the negative stimuli. Turn a stressful situation into a playful one. Eventually, your dog will associate whatever is causing them stress initially with a fun experience and then later on they won’t be so affected by the negative stimuli (i.e. strangers, thunder, the vet, or other animals). Every dog is different. Every dog enjoys different types of petting. Some like soft gentle strokes, while others like hardy pats and squeezes. One of the most common petting strategies is the gentle sweep of the back. Place the palm of your hand on the top of your dog's head and slowly follow your dog's spine to its hips. Do this...

TL;DR in English: Recognize the body language of an anxious dog. Understand the cause of your dog’s behavior. Minimize the source of anxiety. Distract your dog. Pet your dog. Use a Thundershirt. Play classical music to your dog.

All families are different, and they will show affection in different ways. Some parents expect a hug from their children, while others are more comfortable with a handshake. Friendships also have a wide range of expression, but no matter what the gesture, it will show a family member or friend that you are there for them.  Children may seek and require more contact. Hold their hand while crossing the street or pick them up when they're too tired to walk to let them know you're there. For adult family and friends, place your hand on their shoulder or squeeze their hand to let them know that you're there for them and that you're concerned. People often forget the importance of openness as they age. Many times family members will stop telling each other that they care, and this can create a distance between them. Be open and honest with your family and friends, especially when they are struggling.  For example, you might wrap your best friend in a long heartfelt hug before he moves out of town for a new job. Children need feedback. Tell them you love them and care about them no matter what. Don’t be affectionate only when they do something good or get hurt. This will lead them to think that those are the only times you care. This doesn’t mean that you have to spend all of your money or time delivering gifts to friends and family members. Just be sure that when you do give a gift, it is a gift that your family member will like. It could be as simple as picking up the tab for lunch, or buying your kid’s first car. Don't underestimate the gift of time. Time is precious, especially when life gets busy, but they'll appreciate the effort if you see them in their moment of need. Whether you help your mom clean up her house or help your best friend move cities, it will be appreciated. Big or small chores can add up and overwhelm anyone, and helping a loved one get on top of things is a clear sign of affection.  For example, something as simple as dropping by to cook her dinner after she's had a baby can make a lasting...

TL;DR in English: Offer affectionate contact. Tell your loved ones how you feel. Give gifts freely. Help friends and family members in need.

People who attempt suicide are more likely to be suffering from a serious mental condition, such as depression, and can get help for it. These steps can help you work to get to the root of why you considered suicide. If your suicidal feelings were brought on by a specific event, like the grief of being jilted, job loss, or becoming disabled, remember that this kind of situational depression can still be helped by treatment.  Be sure to take any prescribed medications according to your doctor’s recommendation.  Never stop taking medications without speaking to your doctor first. Be sure to attend all of your scheduled counseling sessions.  If necessary, have someone reliable scheduled to take you every week to have an extra layer of accountability for going. If you are religious (or even perhaps if you are not) and have access to a spiritual leader, try talking to him or her. Those called to religious ministry are trained in helping people in crisis, including those in despair and suicidal. He or she can help you ease the pain by offering a new perspective and giving you some things to think about.  Many hospitals in the United States have chaplains. Like chaplains in the armed forces, these individuals are typically people of faith, trained and experienced in working with people of many beliefs, and sometimes none at all. There is no charge for this service and can be worth looking into. A man or woman of faith may not be for everyone. Especially if you are atheist or have a philosophical or experiential issue with religion. You may only find a spiritual leader helpful if you are already involved in that particular spiritual or religious community. Although this article is pointing out resources you may find helpful in this critical time, this may or may not be a good resource for you. There may be support groups, both online and in your community, where you can find comfort by talking to other people who have suicidal thoughts or who have attempted suicide in the past and set up a social network of...

TL;DR in English: Seek help from a mental healthcare professional. Talk to a spiritual leader. Find a support group. Remove any suicide facilitators. Avoid being alone. Make a safety plan.

Generally, to preheat your oven to 300°F (148.9°C), it should take about 15 minutes, though this time might vary depending on your oven. It's a good idea to start preheating first and foremost. This way you can prepare your squash seeds while the oven heats. Take a sharp knife and cut the squash so that you have access to the innards in the bulb of the gourd. The shape of your squash will dictate the best cut. In most cases, halving the gourd down or across the center will be sufficient. Then:  Use a spoon or your hand to tear out the seeds of the squash. These will likely be slimy with gourd guts. Place the seeds in your colander. Once you have removed as many seeds from the squash as you desire, run cool water over the seeds in the colander to clean them. Use your fingers to remove any remaining gourd innards from the seeds. Then shake the colander firmly over a sink or drain to remove excess water. Many kinds of gourd seeds, including squash, cook faster on the inside of the seed than the outside. This can cause your seeds to blacken on the inside and negatively impact their flavor. Boiling will help your seeds cook evenly.  After goo and pulp have been removed from your seeds, boil them in salted water for 10 minutes. While the seeds boil, clean your colander of any pulp or squash innards. When the seeds finish boiling, strain the water from the seeds with your cleaned colander. Lay out enough paper towel to accommodate your seeds on a flat, clean surface of your counter. Then, take your colander and carefully upend the seeds on the paper towel. After that:  Take some more paper towel and pat the seeds dry. Some seeds may stick to the paper towel. Pick or knock these free with your fingers or a utensil. You can prevent seeds or seasoning from dirtying your baking sheet by lining the bottom of your baking pan with either aluminum foil or parchment paper. Once your seeds are dry, take a ¾ measuring cup and count how many of these are filled by your squash seeds. Remember this number, as you'll soon be using...

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven. Remove the seeds from your squash. Boil your seeds. Dry the seeds. Measure how many seeds you have.

If you know where your cat sprayed, you can begin removing the odor by thoroughly cleaning the area. Your first step is to grab some paper towels. If it is a very large spot, you might want to use a cloth towel that you can either immediately wash or throw away.  Using paper or cloth towels, wipe up the urine. If the spray has already dried, pour a cup of cold water on the dried spot, then wipe that up with your towels. If the spot is on the carpet, pour some cold water on the spot. Blot that up with the towels before adding cleaning products. Blot the stain. Do not rub the stain into carpet, furniture, or other material, such as clothing. That will cause the stain to set, which you want to avoid. There are many products you can purchase that will help you get rid of cat spray odor. It is important to choose a product that does not contain ammonia, so read the ingredients before purchasing. The smell of ammonia can cause cats to repeatedly mark that spot.  Choose an enzymatic cleaner. Several different brands make these cleaning sprays. The enzymes effectively break down the compounds in cat urine that create lingering odors. If you are unsure whether a product is enzymatic, ask a store employee. Most pet stores now stock several brands of these cleaners. Follow the directions on the bottle. Spray the soiled area, allow to soak in, then blot with clean towels. If the sprayed area is on carpet or a rug, follow the same instructions. Then vacuum the area to help thoroughly remove the stain. If you don't want to use a chemical cleaner, you can make your own natural cleaning solution. Mix 100 ml of white vinegar with 200 ml of warm water. Place in a clean, empty spray bottle and shake well.  After you have wiped up the urine, spray your cleaning mixture on the soiled area. Blot dry with clean cloths or paper towels. You can also mix 5.5 oz of hydrogen peroxide with 1 tablespoon of baking soda. In a clean plastic container, such as a small bucket, add 1 squirt of liquid hand soap. Mix well with a wooden or plastic...

Let the cooker preheat before you transfer your food into the pot so your food doesn't cool down. The “Keep Warm” setting keeps the food near 170 °F (77 °C) for however long you leave it on.  Slow cookers work best with wetter foods, like soups, stews, sauces, or mashed potatoes. Your food may continue cooking slightly or it may change in texture the longer you leave it in the pot. Once you turn the power off, you can safely keep the food warm in the pot for up to 2 hours. Preheat your oven to the lowest setting and transfer your hot food into an oven-safe pan. Set the pan on the middle rack and keep it in the oven for up to 2 hours. Check the temperature of your food with a thermometer after 20 minutes to make sure it is above 140 °F (60 °C). If not, turn up the temperature slightly. Fill a large pan halfway full of water and set it on a medium-low setting on the stove. Check the temperature of the water with a thermometer to make sure it is around 160 °F (71 °C). Place another pot or pan with your food in it in the middle of the water bath.  You can use this method as long as you keep the stove at low heat and replace any evaporated water with warm water. Stir your food occasionally to prevent it from burning on the bottom. Remove the cap on the fuel with a blunt object, such as a spoon. Place the chafing fuel container underneath the catering dish before you light it with a multipurpose butane lighter. The fuel will burn for up to 2 hours before it runs out. Extinguish the fuel with the cap or a snuffer when you're finished using it.  Always use caution when you work with an open flame. Chafing fuel can be purchased in a gel or wick form. Both will work the same way.

TL;DR in English: Set a slow cooker to the “Keep Warm” setting for soups and stews. Keep meats and large dishes warm in the oven at 200 °F (93 °C). Make a hot water bath on the stove for foods in pots or pans. Use chafing fuels under aluminum catering dishes.

This should be done as the ball reaches the highest part of the toss. As your shift your weight to your back foot, lift the ball of your front foot. In this stance, your body is ready to launch off the ground and into the ball. This helps give the serve its power. Your racquet arm should begin in a bent position behind you as you prepare to serve. Your racquet should be straight up, a little higher than your head. As the tossed ball starts to drop, swing your racquet in a whipping motion. Your arm should be completely extended when it comes into contact with the ball. Focus on hitting the ball squarely from behind. You aren't aiming to create any sort of spin— simply try to hit the back of the ball dead on, making only brief contact with the ball. The follow-through of a flat serve is extremely important. Make sure that, after hitting the ball, you continue to swing through until the racquet is at your opposite hip. If you pump the brakes too early, the serve will not have its full force. Transfer your weight so that it is distributed evenly over both feet. Keep your knees bent and shoulder width apart so that you are ready to move. Bring your racquet to the center of your body and hold it with both hands, allowing for quick grip changes and rotations. By staying light on your feet, you will be ready to get anywhere for your opponent’s return.

TL;DR in English: Transfer your weight in your back foot. Swing the racquet arm up and over your opposite shoulder. Bring your racquet down across your body. Prepare for your opponent's return.

There are a lot of misconceptions about what being introverted means, and it's not an "anti-social" behavior. Introverts are regenerated and energized by spending time alone, and often prefer solitude to group activities, which many introverts find emotionally taxing.  Anti-social personality disorder is more akin to psychopathy or sociopathy, and refers to an inability to empathize or emotionally connect with others. Truly anti-social people are often ego-driven and superficially charming in ways that correspond more with a traditional view of extroversion.  There is nothing wrong with introversion, and although many self-help books and get-rich guides suggest that extroversion is the key to happiness and wealth, there's no evidence to suggest that one personality trait is more productive or successful than the other. Both personality types can be creative and productive in the right working environment. " While many introverts may be said to be "shy" in public, this isn't necessarily the case, and it's important to learn the difference. Introversion is not a measure of shyness, just as extroversion means more than "being outgoing."  Shyness refers to a fear of speaking out in group situations and failing to communicate with others, and a preference for solitude based on this fear. Introverts prefer solitude because working alone is more stimulating than working with others, and social interactions may be more taxing than exciting for the introvert. Introverts aren't necessarily "scared" to interact with others, they are just unenthusiastic about it. Are you energized by the thought of spending time alone? Would you rather work on a project alone, or collaborate with others? In a group situation, would it drive you crazy to not contribute your thoughts, or would you rather save your opinions for a side conversation?  Generally speaking, you don't "become" an introvert by changing your behaviors, because there's little point in spending more time alone if you don't enjoy it, or it doesn't stimulate you...

TL;DR in English: Distinguish between introversion and anti-social behavior. Distinguish between introversion and being "shy. Pay attention to what excites you. Look beyond the dichotomy.

Once you are finished rinsing, you'll need to remove excess water from the engine bay. Wipe down the entire engine bay, switching to a fresh microfiber towel when the one you're using gets too wet or dirty. Use a towel to clean any spots you missed with the degreaser. Use a leaf blower, compressor, or shop vacuum to suck up or blow out the water from small crevices. Now that you've gotten most of the engine dry, you can remove the electrical tape and plastic from the covered parts. Dispose of both the plastic and the tape. Though you've absorbed most of the water, you should let the vehicle sit, with the hood up, for an hour or so to let things completely dry out. Then, replace or reconnect the battery. Once the engine is completely dry, you can start the car. Let it run until it reaches normal operating temperature, then shut it off. At this point you are free to drive your vehicle as you normally would.

Select a shelving board according to personal preference, your budget and the way in which the shelving complements your décor. There are a wide variety of potential boards to use.  Softwood boards: These are easy to have cut to the desired length and can hold many items, including heavy books. Plywood boards: This is made up of layered flat boards. The surface is often made to imitate a wood finish or it can be laminated. Particleboard or chipboard shelves: Made from wood chips glued together under pressure, these are common shelving boards that are lightweight, affordable and easy to find. It is best to get these cut professionally, as the makeup of the boards can blunt cutting tools.  Blockboard shelves: These are stronger than chipboard and are suitable for heavy duty items, like tools and appliances kept in the garage. Pre-made and pre-sized shelving boards: These are traditionally part of a kit and will often be made for adjustable shelves. The instructions for putting these together should always be included; if not, call the retailer or manufacturer. In some cases supports are hidden but a shelf will always require a support of some type.  Wood strips: Simple but effective, wood strips or blocks can be used to keep shelves in place. A strip of wood used at both ends of shelving is known as a cleat support. It can be neatened by nailing a piece of wood across the front shelf to hide the side cleats. Metal strips: Available from hardware stores, these can be used as shelf supports. They aren't that pretty, so they may be best for hardware storage in the garage or cupboards. Brackets: Typically L-shaped, these can be fancy or plain. They are simple to use and are usually good for a variety of shelves. Some brackets are so fancy that they can enhance your décor but they will usually cost a lot more than plainer versions.

Feedback generally revolves around negative performance. Therefore, we often find ourselves dwelling on the negatives far more than the positives. Instead of trying to build up your weaknesses, direct your energy towards further developing your naturals talents.  After you have performed an assessment of your strengths, strategize ways to leverage them for your success. Success in any area breeds confidence. For example, if you are naturally good at drawing or painting, you can spend your leisure time practicing and refining your skills. When opportunities present themselves for you to make use of your skills, such as for a school mural or play, you will have more confidence to offer up your services because you recognize your abilities in this area. Learn to alter that voice inside your head telling you that "you're not good enough" or "you can't do this." When you become aware of such negative self-talk, challenge these self-statements.  For instance, in response to "you're not good enough," you might think about all the ways that you have proven yourself to be good and effective at something. When you identify negative self-talk, strive to transform such statement into more positive thoughts. Properly preparing yourself to achieve goals can boost self-confidence. You can set goals in a variety of areas of your life — in school, work, basketball, singing, writing, etc. And, as you reach each goal, you get automatic and effective feedback to set and accomplish new ones. Start small, and gradually increase the size and scope of your goals as your self-confidence grows. Goals that build confidence are:   Specific  Measurable  Actionable  Realistic  Time-bound  Exciting  Recorded If you can be anything, be kind. It takes almost no energy or skill to be nice to those around you, yet the action results in immeasurable benefits. There is evidence to support that being kind can help us live longer, find greater success at work, reduce stress, and feel happier.  Kindness can be displayed in simple or complex ways....

Most all spelling bees will have grade appropriate word lists.  If you are participating in a contest that has a list attached to it, contact the organizers for the word list. The Scripps Spelling Bee, for example, makes grade appropriate word lists available to teachers at participating schools. If your competition has no official list, consult educators or the contest's organizers for a recommendation of grade level appropriate lists. If your competition has no official or recommended lists, compile your own grade appropriate list. Consider Merriam-Webster's Spell It! at http://myspellit.com to help build your list. Organizing your list will help you locate words, identify similarities between types of words, and save time. There are several ways you can organize your list.  Group words alphabetically. This will help you locate words more easily. Group words by theme or part of speech. For instance, you can group nouns together like “teacher,” “beagle” and “flower.” You can then use pictures or stories to associate the words in each list. Group words by suffix. The suffix "-OUS" often sounds just like the suffix "-OSE," so it can be challenging to remember which word ends with which suffix. Try to group "OUS" and "OSE" separately. This will help you to distinguish the difference. You've got your list and you've organized it, but you're probably already familiar with a good number of those words. Try to identify which words are most challenging. This way, you'll have somewhere to begin, and you won't waste time on words you already know. You can do this several ways:  Read through your list, checking ones you are confident about, and marking ones you might struggle with.  You might notice themes about what sort of words you miss. Take a couple pre-tests using your organized word list. Have a friend or family member help you...

TL;DR in English: Get your word list. Organize your list. Figure out what you don't know.

Those wishing to become Texas residents in order to vote must first be citizens of the U.S. This can be done through natural birth within U.S. borders, birth abroad to U.S. parents, or naturalization. Naturalization is a process in which a citizen of another country becomes a citizen of the U.S. Whatever your path to citizenship, you will need documentation of your citizenship, whether that be a birth certificate or a certificate of naturalization.  Becoming a U.S. citizen can take some time. Naturalization requires 5 years of legal residence in the U.S., followed by an application process and a naturalization test. The test consists of questions on English, U.S. history, and civics.  However, there is a strict limit on the number of people who can be permanent residents (those with green cards) and who can become citizens each year, so just because you want to apply and take the test does not mean you will be allowed to. While you do not need to show your ID to anyone to register to vote, the registration form asks for an driver's license or ID number and you will be required to show a form of ID when you actually go to vote. The forms of identification that are accepted at voting locations include:  Texas driver license Texas election identification certificate Texas identification card Texas license to carry permit United States military identification card United States citizenship certificate US passport Pick up a voter registration application from any polling place or state office. Fill out the form and mail it in 30 days before a scheduled election.  On the application you will be asked your name, address, driver's license or ID number, if you are a U.S. Citizen, and various other identifying information, such as your date of birth.  While voting is voluntary and not required to be a resident of Texas, it is something that only a resident can do.

TL;DR in English: Be a United States citizen. Have identification. Register to vote.

Pessimism is the orientation toward life of expecting that things will go poorly. Usually, people become pessimistic because things in their lives actually did go badly. Pessimistic people often seem negative because they are quick to shoot down ideas and possibilities. Just remember that these people most likely have a history of bad things happening in their lives, so from their perspective, pessimism might seem totally reasonable.  People who have pessimistic views may see positive thinking as "sticking your head in the sand" or refusing to acknowledge life's problems. You can help encourage your friend learn to think more positively by modeling healthy positive thinking in your interactions.  For example, a friend with a pessimistic view may say, "I shouldn't even try for that interview, because I'll never get the job." Someone who is refusing to acknowledge reality might respond, "Oh, you'll definitely get the job! There's no way you're not the best!" While this may sound positive, it isn't helpful because it's clearly unrealistic and doesn't acknowledge your friend's genuine concerns. Instead, be positive but realistic: "Okay, maybe you might not be the most qualified person in the world for that job...but you won't know if you can get it unless you apply. You do have a lot of the qualities they're looking for. What would it hurt to apply?" Depression is a mood disorder marked by symptoms such as feeling hopeless, an inability to feel pleasure, and extended fatigue. Depression is the source of a lot of negativity; understanding it will help you understand negative friends who may be depressed. Depression is caused by a lot of different factors outside the control of the person, such as genes, family environment, and peer environment. People who feel depressed have difficulty mustering the energy to do things. Because of how tired and “low down” depressed people feel, they may seem really negative and unhappy.  People with major depression can't just "snap out" of feeling bad. However, depression is very...

TL;DR in English: Recognize pessimism. Look for signs of depression. Talk to your friend about depression. Watch for signs of anxiety. Encourage your friend to seek treatment for anxiety. Get a grasp on insecurity and self-esteem. Realize that negativity is partly unconscious.

In order to figure out what you need to get from the store, you need to make a list of what you already have.  Knowing what you already have will also help guide your meal planning for the month.  For example, if you have a lot of pasta in your pantry, you should utilize this ingredient in a number of recipes for the month.  Be sure to take stock of everything you have in the pantry, refrigerator, and freezer, including any separate freezer chests if you have them. Unless you are able to take inventory, prepare to go shopping, and actually go shopping all in one day (unlikely!), you will need to update your inventory list as you use items.  This will ensure that your shopping list is the most current version and will also help track frequently used items and items that tend to go unused.  Keep this list somewhere visible, like taped onto the fridge. Try painting a cabinet front with chalkboard paint as a modern alternative to a paper list. Leading up to your first once-a-month shopping trip, or even as you continue to hone your savings skills, keeping receipts is a great tool for gauging your progress.  Ideally you should have all of your shopping receipts from a typical month.  Go through them all and highlight the essentials (the stuff you ended up using or eating completely). Underline items that you didn't get through that month so you can track items you tend to buy impulsively and then not use. Check the back of the receipts for special coupons or promotions you can use. Be aware that this step can take a little time for beginners, but once you plan your first month of meals you can use it as a general outline for the following months.  Some meal planning tips:  Look at your calendar and plan around any commitments and activities.  For example, if you know you're going out to dinner for a friend's birthday this month, that's one less dinner you have to plan for. Plan theme nights. For example you can have an Italian themed meal (think pizza) every Friday or Taco Tuesday. If you block in themed meals...

TL;DR in English: Take inventory of what you have. Update this list continually. Save all of your receipts. Plan out your meals for the month. Accumulate coupons and local store ads. Make a shopping list. Match sales and discounts to your shopping list.

Depending on your symptoms, you may need to see a doctor to treat your breathing difficulties. Some breathing problems are symptomatic of a more serious health problem. See a doctor right away if you experience any of the following symptoms:  difficulty breathing while lying flat  high fever and/or chills swelling in the feet and ankles feeling winded from walking up a flight of stairs feeling out of breath while doing moderate walking on a level surface wheezing while you breathe during physical activity chronic coughing and persistent gasping for air If you experience a sudden onset of shortness of breath (called acute shortness of breath), it could be caused by many possible conditions. If you do not have any pain or other symptoms associated with your shortness of breath, it could be a simple case of overexertion. However, it could also be a more serious medical problem. Talk to your doctor right away to assess whether you have any other medical issues. Common ailments associated with acute shortness of breath include, but are not limited to:  asthma broken ribs carbon monoxide poisoning collapsed lung elevation sickness fluid build up around the heart or lungs heart attack heart failure low blood pressure obstruction in the upper airways pulmonary embolism pulmonary infection (pneumonia) sudden loss of blood Chronic (or long lasting) shortness of breath is usually caused by a medical problem. It could be something relatively benign and easy to fix, like being unaccustomed to physical activity. However, many of the conditions that cause chronic breathing problems are very serious. Talk to your doctor to evaluate your overall health if you've experienced breathing problems lasting longer than two weeks. Common conditions associated with chronic breathing problems include, but are not limited to:  asthma chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder deconditioning of the body after prolonged periods of inactivity heart dysfunction interstitial lung disease lung cancer obesity tuberculosis

Human bodies are amazing treasures with infinite uses, abilities, and surprises. Your body does so much for you on a daily basis. Take a moment to write a list of all the incredible functions that you gratefully notice about your body. Perhaps you can use your legs to run a 5k, your fingers to deftly strum the guitar, or your strong arms to swing your kids around. Rather than focusing on what you hate about your body, think about all the things you love. When you look at yourself in the mirror, don't search for flaws. Instead, strive to uncover aspects about your body that you appreciate. Maybe you have quirky dimples, a scar that adds character, or striking eyes. Take in the characteristics that make you who you are. After you have gazed at your reflection for a time, give your best smile. Blow yourself a kiss or produce your sexiest wink. Not only will this make you feel happier, but it will also gradually change your relationship with the mirror into a more positive, fulfilling experience. Spread the good vibes. Sometimes, all you need is a gentle reminder that you are beautiful, and that you are enough. Cut out several pieces of paper, a dozen or more. Write down positive statements to tape to your mirror or hide in unusual places so you can reap the benefits of these love notes later. Your personal love notes can say things like:  Hey, there, good-looking! Happiness isn't size-specific. Love the skin you're in. Beyoutiful!

TL;DR in English: Write down all the awesome things your body helps you to do. Look in the mirror with appreciation. Leave yourself little love notes.

There are a number of ways to start off a session of analytical therapy (also known as imagination therapy), but getting the subject into a receptive state is essential.  Try having them lay on a comfortable couch/sofa and close their eyes. They are not to go to sleep at any point. Use a soft, relaxing tone at all times when speaking to the subject. You can attempt to have them count down slowly from 100. For more tense patients, you can have them intentionally and systematically tense, hold, and then release each of their muscles. Controlled breathing also can work. The subject places their hands on their chest and belly--sometimes the hypnotist can do this part--while the subject breathes slowly in through the nose and out through the mouth. Once your subject is in a receptive state, you need to narrow the sets of imagery you focus on.  You can try some interesting experiments as long as you are careful. Select positive images like a holiday party, a graduation, a wedding, or a combination of multiple images in sequence to draw a correspondingly positive response out of the subject. If they need to relax, you may help them "construct" the images out of features the subject associates with positive emotions and memories. If you are helping a case of trauma, you may have them search for pleasant images to supplant horrific ones. There is a great deal of flexibility here, so this needs to be tailored to your subject's needs and perhaps discussed before the session.  With so much range, you can make the mode of expression part of the experiment. Maybe having your subject drive their images around in a vehicle, or make a movie of their happiest memories would be something you can attempt. Perhaps having the subject going on an adventure within their own images could be quite an experience to try. Find a creative way to discard negative images in a symbolic way that allows the positive images to remain in place. Consider something literal like tossing the bad images in a trash can or projecting them on a screen...

TL;DR in English: Use a relaxation technique. Target the visuals you want to use. Choose how you want these visuals expressed. Talk your subject through the process. Use multiple sessions.

This is your daily calorie requirement without taking added activity into consideration. Up to 75 percent of calories burned in a day are burned due to normal activities, such as sitting and breathing. The other 25 percent are available for extra physical activities. In order to ensure you have enough extra calories, you need to determine a few things first.  Change weight in lbs to weight in kg. This is done by dividing weight in lbs by 2.2. Convert height from feet to inches. This is done by multiplying height in feet by 12 and then adding the remaining inches to the answer. For example, if you are 5 foot 6 inches (15.2 cm) you would multiply 5 by 12 to get 60 inches (152.4 cm). Then you would add the remaining 6 inches (15.2 cm) of your height to answer to show your height is 66 inches (167.6 cm). Convert height from inches to cm. This is done by multiplying your height in inches by 2.54. Calculate resting metabolic rate. If you are a women, use this equation: (9.99 x weight (kg)) + (6.25 x height (cm)) – (4.92 x age) – 161 = RMR. If you are a man, use this equation: (9.99 x weight (kg)) + (6.25 x height (cm)) – (4.92 x age) + 5 = RMR. If you swim for 1 hour, then you would be considered active and need to add at least 600 to 800 calories to your normal calorie consumption. If you swim for less than an hour, you would be considered moderately active and need to add at least 200 to 400 calories to your normal calorie consumption. If you swim and do other strenuous exercise or lead a very active life, you need to consider yourself active to ensure you take in enough calories. Add activity calories to resting metabolic rate to get daily energy requirements. Be sure to increase calories to match workout needs. If you begin training for a race, you may need to increase calorie consumption to match increased activity level.

TL;DR in English: Determine resting metabolic rate. Determine your activity level.

These can be purchased at any beauty or cosmetics store, or spa.  Typically you leave your facial mask on for fifteen minutes, unless otherwise specified. To remove it, just rinse with a washcloth (not your fingers!) and warm water, and finish with a splash of cold water. Homemade face masks are not only more affordable, but also more effective. They contain natural and fresh ingredients that are less likely to conflict with facial cleansers, including:  Tomatoes: Remove the seeds and mash into puree. Apply to face and let it sit for fifteen minutes as your skin absorbs its antioxidants, vitamins and nutrients. Great for hydrating dry skin and fighting acne. Add lemon and sugar to exfoliate and abolish blackheads. Avocado: Can be used alone or combined with honey and lemon. Avocado is rich in Vitamins A and E, and antioxidants and oils that help your skin retain its elasticity and smoothness. Papaya: Similar consistency to avocado; try blending with cream or yogurt. Pumpkin: Much like papaya, pumpkin makes a mighty moisturizer. Try blending it with cream and honey. Pineapple: Brighten and soften skin by blending pineapple with honey until smooth and applying to your face. Strawberry: Combine strawberry pulp with either honey, cream or yogurt to achieve the right consistency. Strawberries not only hydrate skin but also help prevent and alleviate sunburn. Banana: Smooths and softens skin. Contains potassium which helps combat dark circles. Best combined with honey and lemon. I suggest you use a very ripe banana; they're much easier to mash. Lemon: Lemon is often added for its cleansing properties. It functions as a toner or astringent. Chocolate: Cocoa powder can be mixed with any number of things--yogurt, honey, milk or even clay. Its nutrients and antioxidants help combat effects of aging. Egg Whites: Egg white masks, mixed with a little milk and honey, are extremely effective against acne. Best you leave some extra room around the eyes and mouth, because the egg white mask gets tight as it dries out. Milk:...

TL;DR in English: Apply facial masks to keep your skin youthful and smooth. You can also make your face masks at home using the following ingredients.

Horizontal stripes help make your body seem rounder instead of long and lean. They accentuate your largest parts and curves, which is a good thing when trying to create curves. Try a wide stripe to help give you some roundness. Black is a slimming color and can emphasize your thin frame, or diminish the curves you do have. Instead, wear bright colors, or even better, patterns that give some texture to your body. If you have a curvy bottom half, but not a curvy top half, then wear a darker color on bottom and a lighter color on top to balance out your shapes. To create an hourglass shape despite your body type, go for styles that cinch at the waist. Make sure to cinch at the thinnest part of your waist. This gives the illusion of more pronounced curves by drawing attention to the smaller waist.  Try a peplum top or dress. This style of dress can help emphasize a curvy silhouette despite your body type. Peplums flare at the hips, and narrow at the waist. Wear a belt. Like a peplum, belts help give the illusion of an hourglass figure by helping to narrow the waist and letting the material flare at the hips. Instead of tight fighting cuts, go for loose, flowing garments. These garments, like cinching the waist, make your waist appear smaller while making the rest of your look curvy. Try shirts with sleeves that add volume, like ruffle sleeves or puffy sleeves. Another great look for an hourglass effect is a wrap shirt. Try maxi dresses, mermaid skirts, tulip skirts, pleated skirts, and skirts with layers to help give the illusion of curves. Also try harem pants and dolman sleeves, or ruffles along the front. Either of these styles work well for increasing curves. Skinny jeans will hug your natural curves no matter how large or small they are, and wide leg jeans provide some width and shape to your lower half.

TL;DR in English: Wear horizontal stripes. Avoid wearing all black. Cinch the waist. Wear clothes with volume. Try wide leg or skinny jeans.

You should continue to lose weight during Phase 2, but the weight loss may occur at a slower pace than it did during Phase 1. During Phase 2, add 5 grams to your daily carbohydrate total each week as long as you continue to lose weight. The critical rule is to not exceed your maximum number of allowed daily carbohydrates.  You can add the following foods at this point:  Nuts Fruits Soft cheeses Boost the quantity of carbohydrates that you eat based on your body’s reaction. If you stop losing weight after eating 30 grams of carbohydrates daily, then you should scale back to 25 grams. You may, however, eat as much as 50 grams as long as you continue to lose weight.  Adjust your carbohydrate intake according to weight loss or gain. If weight gain occurs, lower the level of carbohydrate intake. . Diets low in carbohydrates tend to be low in fiber, which will contribute to constipation. However, you can combat these symptoms by taking the following actions:  Drinking plenty of water. Eating foods containing healthy carbs and fiber, like vegetables. Take a fiber supplement or a probiotic. While Atkins does not require you to exercise, it does encourage it as you will not only have more regular bowel movements if you do engage in regular exercise, but there are tons of other healthy benefits of exercising. Exercising and lifting weights will also help you avoid baggy skin or other issues that can occur if you have a lot of weight to lose. .  You may encounter weight loss plateaus.  Feeling like you are getting stuck on one of these plateaus can be demoralizing. However, most people define a "plateau" as not seeing the scale move for 2 or 3 days. An actual plateau means there is no loss in weight or inches for at least 2 weeks.  You can encourage yourself through these tough moments by taking the following actions.  You can focus on the other benefits of the diet, such as lost inches and added energy. Compare your blood tests from now to before you started Atkins. You should notice a positive change in your good...
