Appreciate her. Declare your feelings for her. Write notes. Give her something sweet.

Format section titles in Roman Numeral order. For example, I, II, III, and so forth.  While the first section is technically known as the "Executive Summary" (which gives an official overview of your business), it is typically written last since all the information from the business plan is required to create it. To do this, describe your business and identify the marketplace needs for your product or service. Briefly describe your key customers and how you intend to succeed.  For example, if your business is a small coffee shop, your description may read something like, "Joe's coffee shop is a small, downtown-based establishment focused on serving premium brewed coffee and fresh baking in a relaxed, contemporary environment. Joe's coffee is located one block from the local University, and aims to provide a comfortable environment for students, professors, and downtown employees to study, socialize, or simply relax between classes or meetings. By focusing on excellent ambiance, close location, premium products, and superb customer service, Joe's coffee will differentiate itself from its peers." The purpose of this section is explore and demonstrate knowledge of the market your business is operating within.  Include information about your target market. You should be able to answer questions like, who is your target market? What are their needs and preferences? How old are they, and where are they located? Make sure to include a competitive analysis that provides research and information on immediate competitors. List your main competitors strengths and weaknesses and the potential impact on your business. This section is extremely important, as it outlines how your business will gain market share by capitalizing on competitor's weaknesses. This section of the business plan focuses on key personnel. Include details about the business owners and its management team.   Talk about your team's expertise and how decisions will be made. If the owners and managers and have extensive backgrounds in the industry or a...

TL;DR in English: Format your document correctly. Write your company description as the first section. Write your market analysis. Describe your company's organizational structure and management. Describe your product or service. Write your marketing and sales strategy. Make a funding request. Write the executive summary.

You'll need to make a spirit board to channel the energies flowing from the spirit world into answers to your question. This method is less dependent on the skills of the medium, so it's a good option for beginners. To make your spirit board and communicate with a ghost, you'll need:  Paper Pencil Candles (5) Lighter/matches Salt (rock salt preferred) Friends (optional) Bright light and loud noise can interrupt the flow of spirit energy from the spirit world into your spirit board, making it difficult to get the answers you seek. You might consider:  Waiting until late at night. Finding a remote location. Take your blank sheet of paper and write every letter of the alphabet on it along with the numbers zero through nine. You should use large handwriting and leave some space between the letters and numbers to make interpreting the message from the spirits easier. You may also want to include the words initium and terminus on your spirit board. These terms mean "start" and "end" in Latin, respectively. Lay your spirit board so that it is flat on the floor or table where you intend to summon your ghost. Around your spirit board, sprinkle a fine line of salt to create a circle of protection. Then:  Place a candle at each of the four points of the compass around the outside of the circle of protection and light each. Place your fifth candle above the topmost edge of the middle of your board and light it as well. Do not place your coin on any letters or numbers, instead place it on a blank space on your spirit board. Then, join hands with any friends that are with you around the spirit board, and say: "Spirit, we call to you from beyond the veil. Answer our call." Sometimes, the alignment of the stars or other factors in nature can close the doors of the spiritual world, making communication with spirits all but impossible. To make sure you have a good connection with the spirit world through your spirit board, you should first ask: "Spirit, are you willing to speak with us tonight?" Have each person involved in...

TL;DR in English: Collect your supplies for communicating with the spirits. Locate yourself where your summoning won't be disturbed. Prepare your spirit board. Open a spirit channel from your spirit board to the realm of ghosts. Place a coin on your spirit board and invoke the spirits. Determine if your summoning worked. Touch the coin to provide it with energy and get your answer. Interpret the meaning of the message.

. Since conures are very social and outgoing birds, interacting with your conure is important to his overall care. To have quality interactions with her, you will first need to gain her trust. One way to gain her trust is to talk to her in a smooth and calming voice.  Talk to her throughout the day, especially when you are feeding her and cleaning her cage. The more she hears your voice when you are near her, the more comfortable she will be with you. Another way to gain her trust is to approach her cage slowly and calmly. When she sees that you are not a threat, she will be much more at ease when you are nearby. . In addition to trusting you, your conure will also need to be comfortable with your hand. Begin by gently placing your hand either on or near the outside of his cage. Talk to him while you hold your hand nearby to calm his anxiety.  When your conure is comfortable with your hand outside his cage, slowly place your hand inside his cage. Hold some treats (e.g., millet spray, dark leafy greens) in your hand and keep your hand still while he approaches and explores your hand. It may a few days or a few weeks before your conure is comfortable with your hand. Just be patient with him. When your conure trusts you and is comfortable with you, you can have all types of fun with her. For example, you can teach her to step up. Using your index finger as a perch, gently press your finger against her lower chest (just above her feet) to encourage her to step up onto your finger.  Give her a treat and verbal praise when she steps onto your finger. When she gets good at stepping onto your finger, you can take her out of his cage and practice stepping up in a different room, such as the bathroom. Parrots are known for their ability to talk. However, conures are not as good as other parrot species when it comes to talking ability. Try as he might, your conure will probably be able to learn only about five or ten words.  Your conure will need to focus all of his attention on you to learn how to talk. Turn off any...

TL;DR in English: Gain your conure's trust Acclimate your conure to your hand Teach your conure to step up. Teach your conure to talk. Help your conure with her morning bath. Dance with your conure. Play with your conure. Teach your conure to lay on his back. Ignore your conure's screeches.

A blinking red light is a common problem with Ninja Blenders. Your blender will not work if the red light is blinking. To fix this problem, first check to see if the lid is locked. The blender will not work unless it is closed and locked. The blender is not locked until it has been pushed all the way down on the container. If the lid is locked, but the red light is still blinking, look at the arrows on your blender. There should be a white arrow on the lid and handle. These arrows need to be aligned for the blender to work. Move the lid until the white arrow on the lid aligns with the arrow on the handle. Then, check to see if the red light has stopped blinking. If it has, you can use the blender. Another potential reason for a blinking red light is if the pitcher is not properly aligned on the base. If it has been aligned correctly, it should be able to rotate. The pitcher will not easily rotate if it has not been placed properly on the base. Remove the pitcher and place it back on the base again to check if this is the problem. If the red light still does not go away, call Ninja Blender customer service for advice.

TL;DR in English: Check to see if the lid is locked. Make sure the white arrows on your blender are aligned. Fit the pitcher on the base of the blender.

When you're flossing with braces, it's important to remember that there are plenty of metal pieces and corners to catch your floss on. Because of this, you'll want to use a thin, wax-coated floss whenever you can. Unwaxed, thread-like floss is much more likely to get stuck to your braces. The amount of floss you should use can vary slightly based on the size of your mouth and your hands. Most dental resources recommend a piece about 12 – 18 inches (30 – 46 cm) long. Grab the floss with one hand a few inches from one end. Carefully thread it under or over the main wire of your braces, taking care not to get it stuck. When it's around the wire, pull it through so there's enough slack on either end to grab. A mirror can be a big help here. Be gentle. Do not pull on the brace wire with the floss — you're just trying to get the floss behind it, not to "scrub" the wire itself. Grab one end of the floss in each hand. Wrap the ends around your index fingers for a tighter grip. Adjust the floss so that it runs up the bottom of each index finger to the fingertip. Move one index finger inside your mouth and gently pull the floss so that it goes into the space between your teeth. If you've flossed before, this movement should feel natural. You basically want to move the floss into the gap between the teeth, then push it down into the gap. For some of your teeth, this will probably be a tight fit — this is normal. Now that the floss is in between your teeth, use your fingers to slide it up and down from the gums to the point where it's difficult to keep moving it. Pull gently so that the floss rubs against the insides of both teeth. You want to "scrub" as much of this inner space as possible — try doing it five times against each surface. This scrubbing motion may seem like it's not "doing" anything, but it is. Flossing isn't just for removing bits of food that get stuck — it's also important for removing plaque, an invisible film of bacteria that can cause decay, pain, and discoloration if it's not dealt with. Grab one...

TL;DR in English: Use waxed floss if possible. Thread the floss behind the brace wire. Slide the floss between your teeth. Slide the floss up and down. Carefully pull the floss out. Repeat for each tooth until finished.

Every day, find the opportunity to compliment her about small things: tell her that she's beautiful, or that you love it when she sings, or that you admire the way that she stood up to her frustrating boss. Don't just recycle the same compliments! Try to think of something new to say. This is not just about giving her a compliment – it's about challenging yourself to continually appreciate your girlfriend for the unique, beautiful, and always-growing human being that she is.  Find unique and genuine ways to phrase your compliments. Don't just say, "You're really beautiful." Say, "Sometimes I am just so captivated by how gorgeous you are. I can't stop staring at you today." Don't just appreciate her physical beauty. Show her that you appreciate her personality, her creativity, her intellect – the things that really make her who she is. Try to compliment her on the qualities that you know are important to her. A romantic declaration isn't always as playful as some of the other flirting methods, but it can make your girlfriend feel warm, safe, and loved. She might even respond to your words with a physical demonstration of that love! It's always important to check in with your partner and affirm your feelings, especially if you think that she might feel insecure about the state of your relationship. Tell her that you love her, or that you really like her, or just that you think she's awesome. When you feel it, say it! Send her a sweet "good morning" text message to wake up to. Leave a physical note on her bathroom mirror, her car window, or her locker at school. Make her a card, or draw her a picture, or write her a poem. Tell her that you love her, or that she is awesome, or that you're thinking of her. The medium and the message don't matter so much as the act of showing her that you care. If she is having a big day, write her a note that encourages her and inspires her. "Go get 'em, tiger! You're brilliant, and you're going to ace this test today!" or "You've got this. Play hard and good luck!" Bring her...

Although vitamin D is important for your health, it’s not found in abundance in the foods we eat. As such, it’s not possible to get enough vitamin D through diet alone. Although you should look for food products for some of your vitamin D, supplements are an important part of your health regimen for this scarce nutrient source. Vitamin D supplements are found in two forms over-the-counter: vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol ) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol).  Vitamin D3 is the form that is found naturally in fish and produced by the body when it metabolizes sunlight. It’s also thought to be less toxic in large amounts than vitamin D2, though it’s the more powerful form and has more health benefits. Most experts recommend vitamin D3 supplements over D2 ones. Ask your health care professional for dosage and brand quality recommendations. Make sure you a magnesium supplement along with your vitamin D. Magnesium is necessary for the absorption of vitamin D, but is depleted by the process. Taking vitamin D without increasing magnesium intake can lead to a deficiency. Don't start taking supplements without first consulting with a doctor. Vitamin D3 is more complete, but it is derived from animal products. Vegans and vegetarians may wish to avoid it, despite its health benefits. Vitamin D2 supplements, on the other hand, are produced synthetically using mold, and do not involve animal products at all. Although vitamin D is scarce in our food sources, it is abundant in sunlight. However, you have to strike a delicate balance between not enough and too much sunshine: you don’t want to burn or over-expose your skin. To find this balance, you can spend 10 to 20 minutes in the sun twice a week, with sunscreen on only your face. Alternately, you can spend 2-3 minutes in the sun several times a week, still with sunscreen on only your face. Either way, make sure not to bathe for an hour after sun exposure.  Be careful not to overexpose your skin to UV rays in sunlight. UV radiation causes skin cancer, resulting in an estimated 1.5...

TL;DR in English: Talk to your doctor about taking vitamin D supplements. Opt for vitamin D2 supplements if you are vegan. Improve your access to sunshine, with care. Be aware of factors that might affect vitamin D production from sun exposure. Eat foods richer in vitamin D Look for fortified food products. Limit your caffeine intake. Use all of these suggestions together.

Although having a social life is an important part of a well balanced life, you need to think carefully about whether maybe your friends, or boyfriend or girlfriend, are keeping you from performing the best you can in school. If you have the opposite problem, not enough of a social life, that's something to be taken care of as well, because spending time with friends is a valuable way to destress from the pressure of school.  If your social life is taking up too much of your time and your grades are suffering as a result, then set yourself limits. Don't be afraid to tell your friends that you can't go out this weekend, because you've got a test Monday. There's always another night or weekend. If your social life is lacking and it's causing you stress or sadness, make a conscious effort to reach out more to the people you do know and like. Making friends isn't always easy, but with a little confidence and effort, it can be done. Extracurricular activities are an often overlooked aspect of doing well in high school. If one defines "doing well in high school" as preparing oneself for a successful time in college and beyond, then extracurricular activities are an important factor in that respect. Things like sports participation, volunteering, student council, and club membership look good on college and job resumes, as they show initiative, drive, and the ability to work with others toward a common goal. Your family is your number one support group, and they most likely will be there to help and support you for the majority of your life. So, it's very much worth it to try to keep a good relationship with them. Of course, not everyone's relationship with their family is the same, but making an effort to help and spend time with your parents and siblings will pay off in the long run, in a multitude of ways.  Parents can help you with homework, give you advice on how to deal with a difficult teacher or peer, give you emotional support when you need it, and help you choose the right classes and career path. Siblings...

TL;DR in English: Create a healthy social life. Explore interests outside of academics and socializing. Make time for your family. Don't focus too much on grades. Manage anxiety.

To run a successful warehouse operation, you'll need to listen and respond to your workers. Consider implementing an open-door policy for any employees with questions or concerns. You can also allow workers to make anonymous comments or suggestions via a comments box. This will allow you to deal with employee complaints before they become serious problems. Look for potential employees who conduct themselves professionally and are skilled enough for the position.  Once you have several applicants for the position, make a hiring decision based on their applications and interviews. Involve the appropriate supervisor in the decision. He or she may have good insight in picking the right applicant. Once a new employee has been hired, you may need to help them get started. This may involve supervising their training or performing parts of their training yourself. You may want to show them around the warehouse and introduce them to other supervisors with whom they may be working.   Make yourself available in case new hires have questions while they are settling in. Retraining may also be required, as processes within the warehouse's organization may change. Make sure to schedule time for retraining each employee if this is the case. You can also cross-train employees (train them in more than one role) so that if one employee is ill or fired, others can temporarily take their place. Meet with all employees regularly and review their performance. This is an opportunity for growth an encouragement. Talk to the employee about his strengths and reward excellent performance and behavior. Discuss ways in which the employee can improve, address any weaknesses or bad behavior, and make a plan for improvement.  You may also ask supervisors for input regarding employee performance. Make sure you follow up with any corrective actions. Letting employees go is never easy, but a good manager recognizes when doing so is necessary. The important thing is that the manager fire the employee in a professional manner and do the firing...

There are all kinds of stylish options for women of all shapes and sizes. Consider your proportions to select the right style for your body type.  Consider your height: Longer shorts create the impression of shorter legs, while short shorts lengthen the leg, giving the impression of height. Play it safe. Women of most heights can find stylish and flattering shorts that hit around the mid-thigh.  Consider the fit: Shorts that flare out toward the bottom, rather than hugging the thigh, are flattering for petite girls and curvy women alike. Long styles like mid-thigh shorts or Bermudas are best, while taller women might find longer shorts more appropriate. The large pockets on cargo pockets tend to draw attention to your hips and thighs. Instead, opt for shorts in fun bright colors, or with floral patterns. Dark-colored shorts are also slimming and can look both casual and sophisticated paired with the right shoes. Floral or tropical print shorts can be a fun and flashy addition to your wardrobe, especially in the summer months. Pick out prints that take up most of the fabric, letting the smallest amount of background color show between the prints to make them as flattering to your figure as possible. Increasingly stylish, popular, and flattering, high-wasted shorts are making a big come back. Experiment with fitted and looser styles to get a feel for what's the most slimming. If you've got a shorter torso or are especially busty, you might consider buying shorter waist-style shorts that will look similar on your body. Buy shorts that extend past the hip, but not quite up to the narrowest part of your waist. These are sometimes called "mid-rise" shorts and can be more flattering. Many women's styles feature bottoms that are quite short. While wearing short-shorts will elongate your legs and make them look longer, it's not always the most appropriate look for all occasions and is sometimes smarter to opt for a more conservative approach to the length of the shorts.  Rule of thumb regarding length: Nothing but...

TL;DR in English: Buy shorts that will flatter your figure. Look for shorts that have clean, straight lines. Pick print shorts with a print that is small and spaced close together. Go professional with high-wasted shorts. Wear shorts that are reasonably short. Tuck in your shirt for high-wasted shorts. Color-block.

A comfortable, put-together outfit will help you feel more confident than a rumpled, stinky sweatsuit. Wash your laundry frequently and put your clothes away so you always have clean, unwrinkled clothes to wear. You don’t have to dress up, just pick things that make you feel good and that are free of stains or rips. Choose clothes that fit well; they shouldn’t be baggy and shapeless nor should they be constricting and uncomfortable. If you’re going for a natural look, don’t overdo it with tons of flashy jewelry or blinged-out accessories. Stick to simple accessories and limit it to just a few items, like a patterned scarf, simple bracelet, and bright-colored heels. Or, you could choose some dangly earrings, a neutral handbag, and patterned flats.

TL;DR in English: Wear clean clothes that fit well. Choose simple accessories.

Talk with your local gardening center about ordering bamboo seeds. Getting bamboo seeds can sometimes be a challenge because they must be quarantined for a period if they come from outside the United States. If you get a crop of seeds, make sure to plant them as soon as possible to increase their viability.  It's also a good idea to order more seeds than you actually intend to plant. This will increase your odds of growing mature plants, even if some seeds fail. Only buy seeds from a seller who can provide documentation showing that they follow all quarantine procedures established by the government. Fill up a shallow glass container up with water that is right around 85° F (30° C). Place your seeds into the water and let them sit undisturbed for between 12-24 hours. This kickstarts the germination process for your seeds and increases the odds of planting success.  Use a food thermometer to verify that the temperature doesn't get too hot or it could cook your seeds and ruin the possibility of planting. If you don't have a container handy, you can also place the seeds in a bag and fill it with water. Place the container in a warm spot to keep the temperature from dropping too quickly. It also helps to cover the container to keep the heat trapped longer. Use a wooden skewer to create a small hole in the top of each pellet. Then, place 1 seed in the center of the pellet. Use your finger to push the pellet down into the peat enough so that it is fully covered.

TL;DR in English: Purchase bamboo seeds from a reputable seller. Soak your bamboo seeds in water for 1 full day. Plant a single seed in the center of each peat pellet.

To create a basic MLA in-text citation, type the last name of the author, then a space, then the page number (or range of pages) where the information you quoted or paraphrased appears in the original work. Your citation goes at the end of the sentence, inside the closing punctuation. For example: Louis Armstrong easily reached difficult notes that stymied other trumpet players (Bergreen 258). Particularly if you have authors with relatively common names, it's likely you'll have multiple sources with authors who have the same last name. Use first initials to differentiate them so your in-text citation will point your readers to the correct entry on your Works Cited page. For example: Record deals are typically negotiated by lawyers and studio executives, not by the artists themselves (R. Stewart 17). Type the first author's name followed by the word "and," then the second author's name. Use the same order that appears on the title page or byline of the source, which should also be the same order you use on your Works Cited page. Follow the second author's name with the page number, if the source is paginated. For example: With the explosion of streaming music, record deals had to evolve to incorporate this new method of distribution (Hall and Oates 24). al" for 3 or more authors. MLA style parenthetical citations only include the names of up to 2 authors. If the source has 3 or more authors, only the first author's name is included. However, you'll include all the author's names in your Works Cited entry. For example: In the age of digital music, individual songs have become more important than record sales (McCartney et. al. 37). Some authors may discuss a particular idea across several pages of their work. While you don't necessarily have to include every instance where the idea was mentioned, you should include the page numbers for passages you specifically read. If the source has an index, it can help you with this. For example: Record label fears that digital music would bring about their end were...

TL;DR in English: Put the author's last name and page number in parentheses. Add first initials for authors with the same last name. Type both authors' names if the work has 2 authors. Follow the first author's name with "et. Cite all pages where paraphrased information appears.

While you’re studying math or working on your homework, make your environment as distraction-free as possible. Put the cell phone aside and turn off the TV. Don’t have anything other than your textbook and a calculator on your desk, as you might be tempted to play with the object and lose concentration. If studying with friends distracts you from your work, plan to do your math work alone. If it helps, you could set a timer (say, for 1 hour) and aim to concentrate on the work before you in the time you’ve set aside for it. There will plenty of time for the other things later. Your detailed notes won’t do you much good if you never refer back to them! When you sit down to do your homework or solve a few math problems, take 10–15 minutes to re-read the notes you took during the previous math lecture. This will keep the steps you’ll use to solve an equation or calculate a variable fresh in your mind and prevent any potential misunderstandings. If you’re confused by your notes or can’t read your own handwriting, try re-reading the chapter of your math textbook that you’re currently working through. Doing this will help you to understand the mathematical topics you’re currently working on. Instead of viewing your math homework as an obligation, look at it as a great way to improve your math skills on your own! To that end, make sure that you do 100% of the problems on each assignment you’re given. If you’re not quite sure how to do an assigned problem or feel like it’s over your head, speak to your teacher after class and ask for their help. If you’d rather not ask the teacher, you could also ask one of your peers or friends how to solve a tricky problem. Once you are finished with the assigned homework problems, try working a few extra ones in an area of math that you’re struggling to understand. After completing 3–5 extra problems, check your answers against those given in the back of the book. If one of your answers is incorrect, check your work and find where you slipped up. Working extra problems is a great...

TL;DR in English: Turn off and remove all distractions to increase your focus. Read through the math-related notes you took during class. Complete every problem on all of your math assignments. Work additional problems on your own to master difficult topics. Break down tough problems into easier, smaller parts. Work example problems and check your answer against the given result. Figure out why you missed the problems that you solved incorrectly. Explain tricky concepts to your peers to understand the math better. Apply math concepts to real-world issues to make them more relatable. Work with a tutor for personal instruction and mentoring.

Donkeys’ bodies are structured differently from horses’ bodies. Get a saddle and other equipment made for donkeys or burros, rather than one for horses. Donkeys can carry a lot of weight, but their backs are wider than horses' backs, so the saddle construction is different. A saddle that doesn't fit correctly can lead to health problems for the donkey.  Bits and other tack should also be fitted to your donkey's needs. Blinders are commonly used to keep donkeys focused on the path ahead, but some donkey trainers recommend against using them. If you want to use heavy saddle bags, have the donkey practice with them at home before setting off on a long trail ride. If you've never had riding lessons, it's a good idea to take some so you can learn the proper way to command a donkey for a smoother ride. The most important thing to remember is that you shouldn't try to make a donkey to do something it doesn't want to do. You must gently coax the donkey to keep moving instead of using force.  Verbal commands and nonverbal commands like hand signals and touching the donkey are ways to let it know what you want it to do.  Whipping and harsh kicking are ineffective, and will serve only to erode the trust you have with your donkey. Treat your donkey gently and patiently as you ride. . Make sure your donkey is healthy so he doesn’t get injured when you go for a ride. Donkeys need dry, warm shelter, proper feed and plenty of water, and attention to their hooves and teeth. Make sure you attend to the donkey's health before taking it out for a long ride.  Donkeys' hooves must be kept dry, or they will begin to rot. Donkeys need to overnight in a dry shelter. If you're doing an overnight trail ride, make sure there's a dry shelter where the donkey can stay overnight. When it comes to food, donkeys need plenty of grass, and not much else. They are prone to getting overweight easily, so make sure the donkey is getting plenty of exercise.

TL;DR in English: Use equipment made for donkeys. Learn to give a donkey riding commands.  Take good care of your donkey

It’s easy to get carried away when pruning, but removing too much of a tree can cripple its ability to bear fruit. Take a good look at your tree before starting, so that you’ll be able to estimate what a 20% pruning should look like. Pruning over the course of several days can also help to keep you in check. Most of the best fruiting sites on a citrus tree lie on the outermost branches. If you cut more than 20% of these, you are cutting prime fruit bearing branches, even if by accident. Take a step back and focus on the overall shape of your tree. Look for branches that are poking out from the canopy in an unsightly or obvious way. Target branches that block your walking path around the tree. On the top of the tree, trim back branches that bend over in a u-shape. Gardeners also call these types of branches “leggy.” If your tree has “legs,” then it has long branches in need of trimming. When branches touch the soil or ground, they can rot or become a superhighway for pests. They also stop air from moving around the trunk, which can cause disease. Trim back low branches until they are at least 3 feet (0.91 m) off the ground.  For low canopy branches, you can sever them at any point. Just make sure that you keep your cuts clean without rough ends. Trim your branches high enough off the ground, so that the leaves will not get wet from water splashes from rain or water sprinklers. Adult wasps like to lay eggs deep inside the new stems of citrus trees. As the larvae grow, a “gall” forms where the stem begins to balloon outwards. Use your shears to snip these branches away from your trees. Gather and burn the branch clippings or place them in a sealed plastic bag.  If you see a number of tiny holes on a gall, the wasps have already come out of the stem. You can still snip off these spots or leave them alone. In most locations, you’ll need to remove these galls prior to the start of August. Pull aside the outer branches and peer into the interior area of the tree. Scan the branches and look for diseased or damaged...

TL;DR in English: Aim to remove 20% of the total canopy. Focus on the long, gangly branches. Remove any low-lying “skirting” branches. Cut out any swollen stems. Cut out any dead or diseased wood. Cut out any wood laying on top of one another. Trim back watershoots in young trees.

In order to create sea glass in your home or laboratory, you’ll need to have a way to weather large chunks of glass into pieces that more closely resemble those you would find on the beach. A basic rotary tumbler will work well for this purpose. As the tumbler turns, it will grind, smooth, and polish the glass.  The rock tumbler itself will be the most expensive part of your project—these contraptions can be obtained from specialty suppliers online or anywhere that natural science laboratory equipment is sold, and may cost anywhere from $50-$300.  Rock tumblers come in a variety of different sizes. The higher the capacity of the barrel, the more you’ll be able to tumble at once. A standard-sized tumbler holds around 2 pounds (32 oz) of raw materials. This raw glass is known as “rough,” and will go on to assume the cloudy, weathered finish characteristic of sea glass. For best results, pick out pieces that are at least 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) thick and about as big around as a quarter (or slightly larger). Glass that’s too thin will be worn away until there’s virtually nothing left.  Landscaping glass or “cullet” (recycled industrial glass) is perfect for making sea glass. You can usually find these materials at home improvement centers. It’s not recommended that you break glass yourself for tumbling. Not only is this dangerous, it will more than likely produce small, unimpressive sea glass. Remove the lid from the barrel and add the glass directly to the bottom. For best results, it should be mostly full, but still have enough room inside for the rough to shift around.  If you have a large quantity of rough you want to transform into sea glass, it may be necessary to tumble it in multiple batches. Always start with a clean tumbler, making sure all traces of grit or leftover fragments from the previous batch are gone before you add new materials. To tumble glass, you can either use silicon carbide grit or ceramic pellets as a filler. The coarse grit will spread through the empty space around the rough to weather it...

TL;DR in English: Purchase a rock tumbler. Select a handful of raw glass pieces to tumble. Fill the barrel of the tumbler ⅔ of the way full with glass pieces. Pour in 2 level tablespoons (about 25g) of coarse grit. Add water to the top of the rough. Add ¼ tablespoon (roughly 3.6g) of baking soda.

Odds are you know exactly how to push the other person's buttons, but it's important to resist if you want to have a civil argument. Resolve that no matter how upset he or she makes you, you will not say the one thing you know would push the argument over the edge. Respect what the other person has to say. An argument has to be two-sided; if you fail to hear the other side out, they will return the gesture and not listen to you. Refuting a person's opinion is fine, but refusing to hear it makes a debate pointless. You should always be respectful when arguing with another person. Remember, that's what they are: another person. Treat them the way that you would want to be treated. Don't immediately dismiss their ideas just because they don't agree with you. Listen to them. When you argue with someone, you should remember to only attack that person's ideas, not the person themselves. That means you shouldn't call the person stupid for thinking what they think, and you shouldn't devolve to attacks on their physical appearance either. When you make a mistake, admit it. Admit that you misunderstood or were misinformed. Being wrong doesn't make you a lesser person but admitting you're wrong does make you the bigger person. If you've hurt someone or your argument caused problems, you should apologize. Be the adult in the situation and take responsibility for your actions. The best way to argue positively is to be open to new ideas. You don't want to be wrong in an argument again, do you? Open yourself to the possibility of a better  way of thinking or new, fascinating information.

TL;DR in English: Play fair. Respect the other person. Attack ideas, not the person they're attached to. Admit when you are wrong. Apologize when appropriate. Be open to new ideas.

By booking early, you’ll have a larger selection of boats to choose from. If negotiations with 1 broker fall through, you will still have time to hire another. You must hire a broker to charter a yacht. The broker will present you with many different options for boats. They can also provide advice regarding your trip, such as what to do at your destination or what to look for in a good yacht.  Make sure your broker is a member of a national or international yacht brokerage organization, such as the International Yacht Broker’s Association, the Mediterranean Yacht Broker’s Association, or the American Yacht Charter Association. You can look up yacht charter brokerages online. If you know someone who has chartered a yacht in the past, ask them for their opinion. Yacht brokers are paid on commission by the yacht's owner. In most cases, you will not have to pay the broker. Once you have found the broker, they will send you a list of boats that fit your budget and travel plans. Go through each boat carefully. Once you have chosen a few you like, call your broker and ask questions about each vessel. Some questions you may want to ask include:  What is the safety record of this boat? What kind of insurance does the boat have? What will happen if the boat breaks down or becomes unavailable before my trip? What is the smoking policy on board? What is the pet policy? Is this crew good with children? Do you have a certified dive master on board if I want to go Scuba diving? The Charter Hire is the base price of the boat, which covers the cost of the crew and the use of the boat. These fees can vary based on the owner, model of ship, crew size, and amenities of the ship. The charter can cost anywhere from $25,000 to $1,000,000 USD a week. This document lists everything consumable on the yacht. The APA covers all fuel, food, and custom duties that you are responsible for. Read through the APA carefully. Ask your broker about any fees you don’t understand.  If there is anything you want added to the food or drink...

TL;DR in English:


Use the thin handle of a comb to decrease tension at the scalp. Spray a leave-in conditioner at the base of the braids. Use a braid spray to soften and loosen your hair. Massage your scalp with oil every day for 1 to 2 minutes.

Following the same process as with the primer, cut in with your chosen paint color. This will help your paint job look more professional, since you won’t have to squish your roller into the corners of the room. Depending on the color you’ve chosen and the original color of your walls, you might need 2 or 3 coats of paint. You should apply this many coats even where you’re cutting in. Otherwise, the paneling might show through on your edges. Once you’re done cutting in the room with paint, you can apply the rest of the paint with a roller. Start at the edge of your cut-ins, and roll on the paint in large vertical strips. Make sure the paint gets into the edges between the paneling. Keep the paint brush you used for cutting in near you during this step. If you notice paint clumping up in the edges between panels, swipe down with the paint brush. This will remove the excess paint and make your wall look smooth. Sanding the paint job between coats should remove any clumps you couldn’t get with your paint brush. Wait for your paint job to be completely dry, usually overnight. Use 100-grit sandpaper on a sanding pole or orbital sander to lightly sand the walls. Wipe down the walls with a damp rag after each round of sanding. Wear safety glasses and a paper face mask while you sand. They can prevent any dust from getting into your eyes or mouth and irritating you. It will probably take 2 or 3 coats of paint for the wood paneling to be completely covered. If the paneling is darker, it may take more. Allow the final coat of paint to dry overnight, and then remove any painters' tape and tarps. You can also replace furniture at this point.

TL;DR in English: Cut in with your choice of paint. Roll a coat of paint onto the wall. Let the wall dry completely before lightly sanding it between coats. Repeat painting and sanding until you have the desired color on your walls.

You may want to choose cheap nail polish in case the color doesn’t come out as you envisioned. However, you should mix polishes with similar formulas, such as 2 colors from the same brand. Choose colors that you know will mix well.  For example, mix a silver sparkly polish and a dark purple polish. Alternatively, make an orange polish richer by adding a little red and yellow to it. Pour the polish from the cup into a clean, empty nail polish bottle. If you have them, put 1 or 2 small, steel mixing balls or ball bearings into the bottle to help mix the polish before painting it on.

TL;DR in English: Choose at least 2 colors of nail polish. Store the new polish in its own bottle.

. To look fresh and clean, make sure you shower and wash your hair regularly. Brush your teeth before school each morning, and wash your face with a facial soap of your choice.  Wear deodorant to keep you smelling fresh, especially if you’ll be participating in gym class or an after-school sport. Aiming to wash your hair every other day is a good way to keep your hair clean and healthy. Look for a facial cleanser that's gentle on your skin and won't clog pores. Your hair is an important part of your look, and if you spend a few extra minutes choosing a cute hairstyle, it will take your look to the next level. Try braiding your hair, putting it into a ponytail, or creating a messy bun.  Braided pigtails are a popular cute hairstyle, and so is a braided ponytail. Pull your hair into a side ponytail with a headband. If you have long hair, use a clip to pull a section of hair to the side. Shorter hair looks great with waves or curls in it. Pastels in colors such as pink, blue, and purple look cute, and prints like polka dots, animal print, or stripes create a cool outfit. Choose tops, bottoms, and dresses that you’re comfortable in and that you think look good on you. Just make sure you stick to your school’s dress-code.  If you love wearing dresses, try finding some with lace on them for a cute look. A pair of jeans looks great with a flowy pastel-colored top. You could wear printed shorts, like a pair with stripes or flowers on them, with a solid colored shirt that matches. A colorful skirt would also look cute with a form-fitting shirt. For your outerwear, try wearing jean jackets, soft sweaters, or jackets with a design on them. Choose shoes that are practical for school, such as sneakers, boots, or sandals.  If you already have a jean jacket, you can decorate it yourself. Sweaters in light blues, pinks, grays, and other pastel colors look cute. There are lots of printed sneakers that you can find in shoe stores or online, and comfortable flats are another great shoe option. If your parents and the school...

TL;DR in English: Maintain good personal hygiene Choose a cute hairstyle. Pick out clothing in pastels or prints. Put effort into your outerwear and shoes. Wear minimal makeup, if desired. Accessorize your outfits. Invest in cute school supplies. Personalize your school uniform

Place the paper towel tube right onto the tape, and use a marker to trace around it. These circles will cover the ends of your paper towel tube. Use the gun to draw a line of glue all the way around the top edge of the paper towel tube. Place the circle, tape side out, onto the glue. Wait for the glue to set, then repeat this step for the other side. Trim off any excess cardboard from the edges. Cut two 6 by 6 inch (15.24 by 15.24 centimeters) squares out of cardboard. Use hot glue to glue the two squares together. Make sure that the edges are aligned neatly. This will make your base. Be sure to cover the ends of the paper towel tube as well. Do not attach the pieces together just yet, however. You to cover them first before assembling them. If you don't want to use duct tape, consider using fabric instead. You can also paint it using spray paint or acrylic paint, but the texture of the tubes will show through. The flat part of each half circle should be aligned with the top edge of the tube. The half circles will make the grooves for the paper towel tube to sit on. Draw a line of hot glue down each groove. Find the center of the paper towel tube, and press it right into the glue. If you want to hide the seams between the top of the toilet paper tube and the sides of the paper towel tube, fold a long strip of duct tape over the top of the paper towel tube, and press the two ends down the sides of the toilet paper tube. Draw a thick line of hot glue around the bottom edge of the toilet paper tube. Find the center of the base, and stick it down. If the glue is not strong enough, you may have to reinforce it with more duct tape.

TL;DR in English: Use the bottom of the paper towel tube to trace two circles onto a sheet of cardboard. Cut the circles out and hot glue them to each end of the paper towel tube. Make your base. Cover the toilet paper tube, the paper towel tube, and the cardboard base with duct tape. Cut two half circles into the top of the toilet paper tube. Hot glue the paper towel tube into the grooves. Hot glue the toilet paper tube onto the base.

Slip the thin end of a long-handled fine-tooth comb underneath cornrows or tight braids to get some relief. You could also use the blunt end of a skewer or the eraser end of a pencil. Gently wiggle the eraser, skewer, or handle to loosen the braid at the scalp. Be careful and take your time so as not to ruin your braids. Keep in mind that the braids will loosen up on their own over time. Adding a leave-in conditioner to your dry braids can reduce their tension and tightness. Lightly mist your scalp with leave-in conditioner and use your fingers to gently work the conditioner into your scalp and braids. Alternatively, you could spray cold water onto your scalp for instant relief. If you get your hair braided often, invest in a specially formulated braid spray to soften your hair and soothe your scalp. You can pick up these sprays at salons and stores that sell specialty beauty products. Spritz the braid spray on your scalp to prevent itching and lubricate your braids, which will soften and loosen them.  Look for soothing sprays made with aloe vera, tea tree oil, sulfur, or lavender oil. Use this spray when you're getting ready in the morning and throughout the day as needed to reduce tension caused by tight braids. While you have braids in, it's important to do daily scalp massages with oil. Use 1 tbsp (14.8 mL) of a pure, natural oil like avocado, castor, coconut, jojoba, or almond oil. Apply the oil to your scalp, then massage it in with your fingers using gentle, circular motions. Do this for 1 to 2 minutes each day. Try adding a few drops of essential oil to the oil you choose to scent and refresh your scalp. Peppermint essential oil can help with scalp itchiness, so consider using that for your daily scalp massages.

Make a list of your favorite outfits and accessories.  Vertical stripes make you look slim. Two shades of the same color (darks like black or navy) are slimming, but only if they match exactly! Choose colors that match but vary in shades. This can create a very interesting effect. Belts, purses, unusual shoes or accessories can spice up a monotonous outfit. Blondes are stunning in black or navy. Brunettes are stunning in purple and red. Redheads are beaming in dark green shades. Light complexions are accentuated with green or blue. Dark complexions are accentuated with pastels. Black looks good on everyone.

TL;DR in English: Coordinate outfits. Choose appropriate colors.

This is a common issue in relationships causing anxiety and something your girlfriend may be struggling with as well. Even if your relationship is otherwise going well, this can occur. Know that bringing it out into the open, while difficult, will be ultimately better for your relationship than keeping it hidden. Work on making sure you are not suppressing how you feel. If these feelings and thoughts are genuinely causing distraction or problems for you, you should not try to simply forget them. It's important to be open and honest and deal with what your are feeling in your relationship. You want to be able to feel totally comfortable and confident with your girl. By suppressing or ignoring your emotions you are risking they will come back up at a later time. By not opening up to your girlfriend and working through the problem you will just be shutting her out creating more potential issues between you two. If you have determined that the patterns, focus, and behavior are being caused by you, you may find that you'd like to bring it up to your girlfriend. Bringing it up will give you the chance to let her know what you have been thinking about, and how you feel. Try to be open minded and consider what your girlfriend has to say about the issue.   Mention how you feel and what's bothering you. “Hey, I've been overthinking something lately and it's really been bothering me, can we talk about it?” Talk to her about anything in your past history that may be contributing to your reaction to these issues. “This may be bothering me because in the past I...” See what her opinion is. “What do you think?” Ask her to help. ”I'm feeling like I might need some more love and support to move past this. It would really help me if...” If you discover that the overthinking is due to your girlfriend bringing up the topic, it's time to talk. Let her know how you feel when she mentions her ex and give her a chance to explain. Take the conversation slowly, step by step and work towards coming to an agreement about how you can...

Read the invitation all the way through and look for details that lay out how the interview process will proceed. You’ll typically be given an exact time and place to meet, the name of the person conducting the interview, and directions to the location if it’s difficult to find. All these things will be important to know in order to formulate an appropriate response.  Other important considerations like what to wear, where to park, and who to ask for when you enter will also likely be addressed in the body of the invitation. Find out whether the interview will be conducted in person or over the phone. This will make a big difference in the way the rest of your correspondence plays out. If the email came from an individual, referring to them by name is a respectful way of acknowledging them and demonstrates that you’re paying attention. It also takes the guesswork out of composing the salutation—in most cases, it will be sufficient to simply insert the person’s name followed by a comma.  A heading that reads “Ms. Menendez, ...” is far more personable than one like “To whom it may concern.” If no one person is named in the address or signature, it’s okay to use a more general salutation like “Dear Acme Inc. Hiring Coordinator.” . Begin your first line by expressing your gratitude for being granted the opportunity to interview for the position. It’s a small gesture that doesn’t take long, but can make a world of difference. A show of appreciation will set a cordial tone for the rest of your ongoing correspondence and help you get off on the right foot.  Use expressive language to underscore your enthusiasm and keep your reply from coming off as robotic. Instead of saying “thank you for the chance to interview with your company,” try “I was thrilled to receive your email and to think of the unique skills and experience I might bring to CompuTech’s research and development team in the near future.” A little politeness can go a long way. A gracious, well-mannered candidate is more likely to be considered for a...

Make sure the color goes well with your skin tone and that it won't look awkward or out of place on you. Check the price to make sure it's decent and that it fits within your budget. If you find that the dress is expensive, look in other stores to see if you can find a similar one for a cheaper price.  Sales and coupons are very helpful. Avoid dresses that are too tight or too big, as you won't look as good and your crush might think differently of you. Avoid creating a "sexy" look. It's fine to look beautiful, but it's not cool to wear inappropriate clothing. Plus, your crush might get scared and not want to go out with you ever again! Your reputation could also get destroyed. Remember that if your crush doesn't like you for who you are, your crush is a jerk and you shouldn't let them put you down. However, it's best to avoid high heels, anything that makes your feet feel uncomfortable, or heightens the risk of you tripping and/or hurting yourself. You'll be dancing in those shoes, so it's best to stick with flats.  Make sure the price is decent. Look in other stores if you find that the shoes are too expensive. Make sure you will be able to dance in your shoes and be sure they match your dress. There's nothing worse in an outfit than a clashing dress and pair of shoes! Slip into your dress and make sure all buttons or zippers are in their proper places if you have any. Be sure that there are no wrinkles, and that you have ironed out any beforehand. Limit your accessories to two only to prevent the dreaded overdressed appearance. Suggestions for cute accessories are:  A cute scarf that complements your dress is recommended, especially if you find that your dress is a little too low. A cute pair of earrings would be brilliant, especially if you already have a matching scarf on. A pretty necklace that isn't too sparkly would be good, but don't wear one if you already have a scarf on and vice versa. Don't wear a bracelet if you have a necklace and earrings on.

TL;DR in English: A week before the prom/dance, purchase a dress that both fits you and complements your body shape. Shop for a pair of cute shoes if you need one. About a few hours before the prom/dance, it's best to prepare so that you won't be late. Pick out any accessories that match your dress but beware of having too many. Look up prom hairstyles and choose one that appeals to you. Apply your makeup as needed. Apply deodorant to make sure you smell good. Slip into your shoes and pop on a jacket if needed, making sure not to mess up your hairstyle or wrinkle your dress. Hold yourself in a tall position by throwing back your shoulders the slightest bit and sucking in your stomach a little. Meet your crush and give them a friendly, "Hey. Don't be afraid to dance with your crush, but remember that you don't have to dance to every single song that is playing. Smile naturally, as this is one of the important keys to unlocking your beauty. If you're lucky, you two might kiss or become a couple.

Use a body scrub the morning before you want to cover up your stretch marks. Try a body scrub made with caffeine. This may make your skin appear tighter and smoother. Try a leg and body cover up cream. There are a number of cover ups on the market that will cover up stretch marks and other lines that detract from healthy-looking skin. No one has the exact same skin, so you may have to try a few products to see which is best for you.  Choose a color that will match your skin tone. Remember that it may be lighter or darker than your face makeup. Choose a body cover up that includes sunscreen if you are regularly exposed to sunlight. Sunburns reduce the elasticity of your skin and make stretch marks more noticeable. If you don’t have access to leg and body cover up, use a primer moisturizer or a waterproof concealer. Choose a concealer with green undertones to cover up red marks. Dip a flat foundation brush into the cover up product. Dab it gently onto the areas with stretch marks. Aim to use a very light layer of makeup. Assess the coverage that you get with a single layer. Layer the makeup in thin coats until you achieve the desired effect. It will quickly be obvious to you if it is working.  If you are going to wear a swimsuit, put it on before you apply makeup. Use a powder brush to apply setting powder. Leave the powder a few minutes before changing into a short skirt or shorts. A spray-on makeup fixative will also work to set the cover up or concealer.

TL;DR in English:


Research your town or city's anti-barking laws. Call the relevant authority to report a noise complaint. Call animal control to report abuse. Get other neighbors to file the same complaint. Sue the dog owner in small claims court.

Whether you are dealing with your own parents, a spouse's parents, or the parents of one of your students, you may at some point be given unsolicited advice. If this happens, it's important to restrain your frustration and refrain from getting angry.   If you are getting unwanted advice from a spouse's parents, talk to your spouse. It's best if your spouse addresses his or her own parents, rather than you telling them to stop.  Remember that unsolicited advice is, at heart, an effort at showing concern. If you're getting unwanted advice from your parents or from a student's parents, you may need to communicate (calmly) that you feel frustrated by the constant advice.   Politely tell the parent that you understand he means well, but that constantly giving unsolicited advice makes you feel threatened in some ways.  Bring the subject up when you're both calm and when you both have time to sit and talk. Once you've addressed the unsolicited advice you've been getting, you'll need to make your request for the advice to stop.  Ask the parent to trust you and respect you enough to make your own decisions. Let him know that you share his concerns and will work toward the same goals, but that you need the freedom to do it in your own way.

TL;DR in English: Be patient with unsolicited advice. Talk calmly with the person giving advice. Ask for trust and respect.

When feeding your dog is more like throwing raw chicken at an alligator, it can be frustrating. But more than that, gulping down food can lead to several potentially harmful issues. Never ignore a habit like eating too fast. Address the issue while keeping an eye out for developing health problems. When a dog races through his food, he is also swallowing a large amount of air. This can result in something simple like burping or passing gas, which is not enjoyable for those around but is relatively harmless. The faster the dog eats, the less he chews. This can cause him to choke if something large that needed to be chewed down to size passes down his esophagus. These include: bloated or swollen belly, walking hunched over, unsuccessful attempts to vomit, listlessness, and pacing. Always call your veterinarian if you suspect bloat. This is an emergency, and it is better to waste a phone call than miss a life-threatening problem. Bloating from food can increase the chance that your dog's stomach will twist, cutting off blood supply to the stomach. This can cause irreversible damage to the stomach or death. A dog suffering from this must be seen immediately by your veterinarian. There is no home remedy.

TL;DR in English: Realize that eating too fast can cause health problems. Watch for burping and flatulence. Be on the lookout for choking. Look for signs of bloating.

Set your oven to a lower temperature setting, ideally 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176.7 degrees Celsius). Wait until you hear the oven beep to put in your bread. Put the baking sheet on the oven rack that’s most centrally located in order to toast the bread evenly. After five minutes have passed, open the oven door and use tongs to flip your slice of bread onto its other side. Make sure to wear oven mitts when you take the baking sheet out. Use the tongs to bring the toast from the baking sheet to your plate. After putting whatever spreads or toppings you want on your toast, it’ll be ready to eat.  Try a classic spread or topping, such as peanut butter, nutella, or cinnamon and sugar.  If you want to get a little more creative, top your toast with fig jam, goat cheese, and walnuts or hummus and olive tapenade.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Put the bread on a baking sheet and slide it onto the middle rack. Flip the bread after about 5 minutes. Take the bread out of the oven after another 5 minutes.

Look online at your town or city's codes, by-laws or dog legislation. There may be a code against unruly pets or incessant barking at night; many places have legislation or regulations in place that deals specifically with dogs and/or noise. There might also be a code covering ignoring requests from neighbors.   Often neighborhood or civil dispute centers produce small briefs on dog issues, as they're rather commonplace complaints. See if a precedent has already been set in your neighborhood. You may want to share your findings with your neighbor to give him or her one last chance to change before you call the authorities. If you're pretty sure it won't work, move straight to the next step. Find out what town hall/council/municipal office or other relevant authority to call so you can file a report on your neighbors for a noise complaint.The authorities will talk to the dog owner and assess the situation. They will usually inform you of the outcome. If nothing changes, call again a few days later.   You might want to ask if anonymity is an option when you file the report. In some cases, this may not be an issue for you, especially if it's plain-as-day that you're the one pointing the finger thanks to previous attempts. However, if you have various upset neighbors, maintaining anonymity may be useful to prevent retaliation of any sort. Some jurisdictions will act on anonymous complaints, while others require your name and address but won't reveal this to the neighbor complained about. Check the public or private status of making a complaint before making it. If you believe the barking is a result of neglect or another form of abuse, you have the right to call animal control. If the dog is being severely abused it will be confiscated from the owner, but in most cases, animal control won't take the dog away. Instead, they'll come to assess the situation and try to educate the owners as to how to properly care for the dog.   If the dog is left outside during extreme heat or cold, this would be considered a good...

If you have fair skin or are wearing the berry lipstick during the day, you may not want the color to be too intense. To soften the look, apply the lipstick to your finger and then lightly tap your fingertip against your lips to create a stain. Be careful when you’re applying the lipstick near the edge of your lips. It’s difficult to be precise with your fingertip, so you may want to use a matching lip liner and only tap the lipstick on the center of your lips. You’ll get the richest, most opaque berry color if you apply the lipstick directly from the tube. Smooth it over your lips, taking care around the edges to prevent the lipstick from bleeding outside your lip line. If you feel like you can’t be precise enough with the lipstick bullet, you can use a lip brush to apply it. The lipstick won’t be as opaque, but you’ll still get rich color and more precision. Your berry lipstick will last longer if you apply multiple layers. However, you don’t want to apply too much lipstick and have it bleed outside your lip line. Before applying a second layer, use a tissue to blot your lips and remove any excess lipstick. If you have oil blotting papers, which are typically used to blot oil away from the face without disturbing your makeup, you can use those to blot your lips. They’ll remove the excess emollient left behind by the lipstick without removing any of the pigment. After you’ve blotted your lips, apply a second layer of lipstick. Be just as precise as you were with the first layer so your lipstick appears neat and even. If you apply the first layer of lipstick directly from the tube, you can switch to a finger or a brush for the second. That’s because that first layer will provide a rich base so the color will look opaque.

TL;DR in English: Use your finger for a light stain. Apply the lipstick from the tube for opaque color. Blot your lips. Put on a second layer of lipstick.

Most species of bamboo require consistent watering, but you should not let the bamboo roots sit for an extended period of time in excess water.  Bamboo seeds and young shoots should be watered daily during mild and dry weather. After bamboo plants have been established in your yard, you should water them twice a week during mild weather and three to four times a week during hot or windy weather. Organic mulches help keep bamboo growth in check and can protect the bamboo from potential threats. Grass clippings make one of the best mulches for bamboo since they are rich in nitrogen and silica. Compost and hay can work well, too, as do many other types of organic and untreated mulch. Bamboo is a warm weather plant, so you should take extra precautions during winter to prevent the plant's roots from completely freezing.  Apply an extra thick layer of mulch to protect the root systems of the mulch during freezing temperatures. If cold, harsh winds are a problem, you might need to construct a temporary barrier to shield your bamboo. If your bamboo takes on a dry look or silver color, this could be an indication of cold injury. Organic fertilizers are often recommended, and nitrogen promotes stronger, greener plant growth, so a fertilizer fairly high in nitrogen is usually best.  Apply fertilizer once in the early spring and once in the summer. This schedule corresponds to the main growth seasons of bamboo. If using an organic and mild bamboo, you can apply fertilizer monthly throughout the spring, summer, and early fall. As bamboo spreads, you might need to thin it out to prevent the stalks from crowding into one another and cutting off nutrient supplies.  If you want to prevent running bamboo from spreading and do not have a barrier installed that can do so, you will need to cut new shoots off at ground level as soon as they appear in areas you do not want the bamboo in. Remove old, unattractive bamboo branches once a year. Trim them back until they look neat. If you cut bamboo just above a node, it can grow back....

TL;DR in English: Water the bamboo regularly. Spread mulch. Protect the bamboo in winter. Use a fertilizer high in nitrogen. Thin and prune the bamboo as needed. Protect the bamboo against pests and disease. Consider harvesting your bamboo.

A Baker’s cyst occurs when fluid builds up in the back of the knee. This happens when something is wrong or injured inside the joint. However, this can also occur spontaneously without any trauma. Some people just get them and there is no known explanation. This cyst points to a larger underlying problem, like a torn meniscus, that needs to be found soon because the swelling can cause damage to the knee. Bursitis is inflammation or an injury to the prepatellar bursa. Bursa, a round, fluid-filled structure, help the kneecap move smoothly across other tissues without friction. If the bursa gets inflamed, it can cause surrounding tendons to become inflamed and pinched, resulting in pain.  Bursitis can cause stiffness or pain in the knee, as well as tenderness of the knee when touched and pain with movement. Pain is usually worsened by bending the knee and improved with extending the knee. The knee may also be swollen and red. Bursitis can be caused by repetitive motions, like bending or stooping. You can also get it by putting pressure on the joint by kneeling for too long on a hard surface. Patellar tendinitis occurs when you do the same motion on your knee, like running or cycling. Patellar tendinitis is when the tendon between your kneecap and shin becomes inflamed.  Pain is the main symptom of patellar tendinitis. The pain is located beneath your kneecap, near the place it attaches to your shin. The pain may surround a workout, either as you begin or after you finish one. Eventually, the pain will make it difficult to stand or take stairs. Arthritis of the knee occurs when the knee joint swells. Arthritis generally occurs with age or due to a knee injury. It can make everyday tasks difficult, like standing and sitting, walking, or taking stairs. Pain, swelling, and stiffness are common symptoms of arthritis of the knee.  Osteoarthritis (OA) occurs due to age. It can start around age 50, but may affect younger people. OA occurs due to the wear and aging of the cartilage of the knee, which causes less...

TL;DR in English: Determine if you have a Baker’s cyst. Decide if you have bursitis. Monitor for tendinitis. Check to see if you have arthritis of the knee.

Beat the cream cheese and butter together first until they are smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat again until combined.  You can use an electric mixer, handheld beater, or food processor fitted with whisks. Sift the powdered sugar to get rid of any lumps. Take the cheesecake out of the freezer. Remove the sides of the pan first, then slide the cheesecake off of the bottom. Peel off the parchment paper. Check the cheesecake layer against the cake layers. If one of the layers is too big, trim it down with a knife until it fits. Discard the scraps or eat them. If the cake layers did not bake flat, trim off the top "bump" until they are flat. Place one of the cake layers down on a plate. Set the cheesecake layer on top. Finally, place the second cake layer on top of the cheesecake. A "crumb coat" is a very thin coat of frosting. It helps lock in the crumbs and make it easier to apply the second, thicker layer of frosting. Use a long, thin, cake decorating spatula to apply a thin layer of frosting to the sides and top of the cake. Wipe the spatula clean each time before scooping up more frosting. This prevents any crumbs from getting into the frosting. Once you have your first, thin coat of frosting, place the cake into the fridge. Leave it there for 30 minutes. This will set the frosting and keep it in place during the next step. Once the crumb coat has set, take your cake out of the fridge. Place a large dollop of frosting on top of the cake, then spread it around using a cake decorating spatula. Once the top is covered, spread the frosting down the sides of the cake. You can add some texture to the cake by taping the sides with a spoon. You can also pipe little "roses" using a star-shaped decorating tip all around the top of the cake. Another option would be to add some white chocolate curls on top of the cake.

TL;DR in English: Beat the frosting ingredients in a large bowl. Remove the cheesecake from the pan. Make sure that the layers all match up. Stack the layers. Apply a "crumb coat" using a thin, cake decorating spatula. Chill the cake for 30 minutes. Spread the rest of your frosting over the cake. Decorate the cake further, if desired. Finished.

This will prevent bubbles from forming. It may take several tries before you learn to fill the mold to the right level. You must let the plastic cool before removing it from the mold, or it won’t form correctly. Carefully pop the lure out of the mold  by turning it upside down and pressing on the bottom of the mold. Be sure to lay the molded plastic out flat, as it will set in the position in which you lay it out. If the lure does set in a crooked position, you can melt it down and re-pour it. First, transfer the soft plastic lure to a cookie sheet or baking pan. Trim the excess with a craft knife, scissors, or a pizza cutter. As you trim the excess, gather it together. You can melt it down and add it to your next soft plastic lure, or you can add the shavings at the very end to add highlights to lures of a contrasting color.

TL;DR in English: Pour the colored plastic into your mold slowly, filling it. Wait 10 to 15 minutes for the plastic in the mold to cool. Remove the plastic lure from the mold. Place the plastic lure on a paper towel or old newsprint to cool overnight. Trim off any excess plastic.

Take this time away from friends and family to work on your physical fitness. Exercise will help improve your mood and may distract you from feeling stuck in the hospital.  Some hospitals may have outdoor space you can take advantage of to work out. If there isn't any outdoor space or a designated fitness room, ask a staff member to show you the best place to do some exercise. Reading novels may improve brain health and increase empathy.
