Place the letter or contents inside the envelope and seal it if you have not already done so. Make sure the contents fit well inside the regular or padded envelope, as mail can sometimes be damaged in transit, especially if it is an odd shape. If you are using a padded envelope, or if your package is bumpy, address your envelope before placing the contents inside to ensure that the addresses are clear and legible. Once you have inserted the letter into the envelope and sealed it shut, you should write your name and address on the back. The French post likes to have the return address over the sealed portion of the envelope to show that it has not been opened or tampered with. You should include the following information:  Your first and last name – with the last name in all caps (line one) Your street address (line two) Your city, state and postal code (line three) The country (line four) Take your letter to the post office and ask for help from one of the associates at the counter. They will be able to weigh the letter, and notify you of the correct postage amount. Pay for the postage and the post office employee will affix the postage stamp to your letter. Your stamp should be placed in the upper right hand corner of your envelope.

TL;DR in English: Put the letter in the envelope. Write your address on the back. Mail your letter to France.

When you're trying to be obedient to an authority figure, like your teacher or manager, then you need to pay attention when they are talking. You want to show that you're interested.  In class look at the teacher while they’re talking. Take down notes when they give important information and look like you're interested. Make sure that you are listening to your boss when they are giving you instructions. Again, eye contact is important. If there is a problem with an authority figure you should never bring it up in front of people. Instead, ask them if you can talk to them either in their office or after class. You should always respect authority, but never worship authority. Respecting authority means you recognize that the superior's authority and obey his or her reasonable rules. However, people who respect authority rarely sit quietly and suffer it if an authority figure treats them poorly or unfairly. People who revere authority, on the other hand, literally worship the authority figures; they think that, just because the superior has authority, whatever he or she says must be right. Therefore, revering authority often includes suffering injustices, while respecting authority only gives you the reputation of being respectful, kind and considerate--something worth going for. For example: if you feel that your teacher gave you the wrong grade for an assignment, you would go and discuss it with them after class. Present some clear and concise reasons why you feel you deserve a different grade (and no, "worked really hard on it" is not a reason). It's hard to be obedient to someone if you're not really sure what they want from you. This is part of paying attention to what your authority figure says, because then you know what they need from you. If you happen to disagree with an authority figure, do not be impolite. Merely talk about it courteously, and you may end up getting your way.  If you're being obedient to your teacher then you'll need to stay on top of things like homework, classwork, any major...

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to what they have to say. Discuss concerns or issues in private. Know how to obey authority. Understand what is expected from you. Make sure you complete tasks on time. Avoid backtalk. Act like you respect them. Never use blind obedience.

If your narcissist seems open-minded, bring up the topic of getting help. In many cases, narcissistic behavior patterns have led to problems in the narcissist's marriage, family, friendships, and career. Use one of these aspects as a benchmark to convince your spouse to get help.  For instance, if your spouse is very career-oriented, but has been struggling to work as a team player, you might use this as fuel for a conversation. Say, "Sweetie, I know you were hoping for a promotion this year, but you've been having trouble with the team at work. I think it would be a great idea if you talked with someone who can help you build on the skills you already have to increase your odds of getting chosen for the position." Although it may seem like a good idea to search for a marriage therapist to help your spouse, avoid this dynamic in favor of having your spouse attend individual therapy. In many cases, couples therapy results in the narcissist playing the victim role, leading to very little change.  Instead help your partner find an individual therapist who has experience treating personality disorders. You don't have to share your suspicions about the specific disorder with your spouse, but this increases the odds of your spouse being properly diagnosed and treated. Be sure to let the therapist know about your suspicions that your spouse is a narcissist. However, do not let your spouse find out that you have shared this information or they may become enraged. Refrain from trying to steer your spouse into treatment one way or another. Treatment for personality disorders like narcissism require long-term, intensive one-on-one therapy, and your spouse must be a willing participant. However, it can be helpful to ask how you can show support as they go through treatment.  You might say, "Darling, I'm so proud of you for seeking help with what you're going through. What can I do to show my support or help you through this time?" Be open to your spouse's response. They may simply ask for space while they come to terms...

TL;DR in English: Share your concerns with your spouse. Accompany your spouse to see a professional. Be supportive. Participate in support groups.

Move your knees to the outer sides of the mat, rocking back and forth as needed to shift your weight and move your knees out. Widen your knees as far as you can while still remaining comfortable. If they aren't already, move your ankles so they fall in line with your knees, straight back on the yoga mat. Also, turn your feet out to the side, so that the inner part of your ankle is flat on the floor and your toes are pointing out to the side. This creates the characteristic "frog" part of this pose. If you have trouble kneeling, try placing a pillow under your knees to see if that helps. Bring your torso down so you're resting on your elbows instead of your palms. Place your forearms straight out on the mat and lean forward to distribute your weight along them. You can either keep your palms flat on the floor or bring them together in front of you for added support. Consciously think about the weight of your hips, trying to make them heavy. Relax your muscles and your back to help bring the area downward toward the ground. You can also push your hips toward the back wall to encourage stretching in your hips and inner thighs. Allow yourself to relax into this position, and breathe in and out deeply, focusing your mind on your breathing. After 3-6 breaths, use your forearms to push yourself back up into the table pose.

TL;DR in English: Walk your knees out to the side. Position your feet behind your knees. Lower yourself to your elbows. Bring your hips down as you exhale. Hold the position for 3-6 breaths before pushing out of the pose.

Make your family aware of your nudist tendencies by warning them when there’s a chance they might see more of you than expected. If someone knocks on your door or tries to come in to talk to you, for example, tell them flat out that you’re not wearing clothes, and that they should enter at their own risk. Choosing to come in anyway shows that they don’t mind, and even if they do, you’ll still get to enjoy being naked privately.  After a while of going naked in your own private space, it will start to seem less unusual to your family. Try not to catch your loved ones off guard. It could be traumatizing for some to see a parent, child or sibling naked. The best way to prepare your family for seeing you naked after getting permission is to work your way up to it. Try lounging around in your underwear or a more revealing outfit than you normally wear. When you get out of the shower, tie a towel around your body and linger for a minute in the kitchen or living room where you’ll be seen. Once they get over their initial squeamishness, it won’t be a big deal for them to accept that you prefer to be naked at home. Don’t go from wearing clothes to walking around naked overnight. Begin wearing less and less over time so that the transition isn’t so jarring. Once everyone has come to terms with your new behavior, it may be okay to reveal yourself briefly out in the open. Stroll by the family room with no fear, or creep down the hall to the bathroom in the middle of the night while you’re not wearing any clothes. This may come as a surprise the first few times if your loved ones aren’t used to it yet, but as long as you've made sure they're okay with your actions, they'll start to get used to it. Never blatantly parade your nudity in front of your family, or do it just to be seen. Bring up the fact that you’ve been going naked regularly as a source of humor. It will help alleviate the awkwardness and tension that a relative might be feeling if they’re persuaded to view it as something quirky or funny. Most topics lose...

TL;DR in English: Let them know when you’re naked. Start wearing fewer clothes. Be judicious about exposing yourself. Joke about your choice to go naked.

Gently warm up one cup of honey over low heat. Add 3-4 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the warm honey. Add ¼ to ⅓ cup water to the honey-lemon mixture and stir while continuing to heat on low. Refrigerate the mixture. When you need the cough medicine, take 1-2 tablespoons as needed.  Medicinal honey, such as Manuka honey from New Zealand, is recommended but any organic honey will have antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Lemon juice contains high levels of Vitamin C-- the juice of 1 lemon contains 51% of the daily Vitamin C requirement. Lemon juice also has antibacterial and antiviral properties. It is believed that the combination of Vitamin C and the antimicrobial properties make lemon useful for coughs.  Do not give honey to any child under 12 months of age. There is a small risk of getting infant botulism from bacterial toxins sometimes found in honey. There are less than 100 cases of infant botulism in the US every year and most babies recover fully, but better to be safe! Cut a washed, whole lemon into thin slices (along with the skin and the seeds). Add the slices to one cup of honey. Heat over low heat for 10 minutes with constant stirring.  Break up the lemon slices as you stir. Once finished cooking, strain the mixture to get the leftover lemon slices out and then refrigerate. Garlic has antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic and antifungal properties. Peel 2-3 cloves of garlic and chop them as finely as possible. Add it to the honey-lemon mixture before you add water. Heat on low flame for about 10 minutes. Then add ¼ to ⅓ cup water to the honey-lemon mixture and stir in while heating over the low flame. Refrigerate the mixture. When you need the cough medicine, take 1-2 tablespoons as needed. Ginger is often used to improve digestion and to treat nausea and vomiting, but it has also been traditionally used as an expectorant. It can help a cough by thinning out mucus and phlegm and as a bronchial relaxant.  Cut and peel about 1.5 inches of fresh ginger root.  Finely grate it and...

TL;DR in English:


Lie down on your back with your knees bent. Draw your attention to your jaw, face, and neck. Try gently opening and closing your mouth. Move your jaw to the left and the right. Do jaw movement exercises once a day.

Daily brushing helps to remove built-up food particles and plaque from your cat's teeth. Subsequently, regular brushing is the first step in preventing feline gum disease. The vet will examine your cat and recommend treatment, if necessary. Even if you brush your cat's teeth, your pet will need to have its teeth cleaned by a veterinarian occasionally. Have your vet check your cat's teeth during every yearly checkup. Dental checkups allow your vet to perform a thorough examination of your cat's mouth. They can make sure all your cat's teeth look healthy and check for symptoms of gum disease. They can also look for any teeth that may need to be removed. This type of food has large, crunchy kibbles that help clean your cat's teeth while they eat. The texture, then, helps prevent plaque from building up on teeth. Consider buying a food specifically formulated for a cat's oral health.Ask your vet for recommendations for food and treats formulated for feline oral health. These toys help prevent unhealthy accumulations of plaque and tartar. They also massage your cat's gums, which stimulates healthy circulation. Ask your vet for recommendations for the right dental chews for your cat. Human food causes plaque and tartar to gather on teeth, leading to periodontal disease. Instead of giving human food to cats, provide them with cat toys and treats formulated specifically for cats. The Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) is a group of veterinary dentists that are meant to recognize products that are proven effective for pet oral health. These products are reviewed and tested, and can be recognized by the VOHC Seal of Acceptance. The VOHC also has a link of approved products on their website.

TL;DR in English: Brush your cat's teeth every day. Take your cat to a veterinarian for regular dental checkups. Serve hard, crunchy food to your cat. Give your cat dental health chews. Refrain from feeding leftovers or sweets to your cat. Buy VOHC-approved products.

To play it cool, you have to show that while you enjoy talking to your crush, your life does not revolve around him or her. Here are some ways to make this clear;  Don't talk to your crush every single time you sign online. Talk to him or her every second or third time you sign on. This will show that you're not only going online to continue your conversation. Don't respond to everything he or she says too quickly. If you respond the second he or she asks you a question, this will make it look like you're obsessed with your conversation. If you don't answer right away, your crush will see that you're talking to other people, or doing other things too. Get a secret screen name that no one knows about to see what your crush is doing when he thinks you're not online. This can help you have a better sense of what your crush really thinks about you, and can help you cool it during your interactions.  If you see that your crush isn't online much when he doesn't think you're online, this can suggest that he's online for the same reason you are--to continue flirting! If you see that your crush is just always online, it may mean that he'll talk to whoever--whenever. This may also suggest that he doesn't have a life. Log on to your secret screen name after you say goodbye to your crush. Does your crush sign off right away? This may show that he's only sticking around to talk to you. It's great to show that you think your crush is an engaging, exciting, and fun person, but if you overdo it, you may end up looking too obsessive. Here are some things to avoid:  Minimize your use of "LOL" or "hahaha"--this will make it look like you're trying too hard to be funny. Avoid too many emoticons. This can get annoying and will make you look immature. If your crush doesn't respond right away, don't immediately follow up with a series of question marks or say, "Where did you go???" This will make it look like your world revolves around your crush's answers.

TL;DR in English: Don't be too eager to talk to your crush. Don't underestimate the secret screen name. Don't be too enthusiastic during your conversation.

The following stretches can greatly reduce pain if done at least once per day:  Do the knee-to-chest stretch. Lay on your back with your knees up and your head on the ground. Lift your right knee and grab it with both hands. Pull the knee lightly toward your chest for 30 seconds. Release and repeat 2 times with both legs.  Do the piriformis muscle stretch. If you suffer from pain in your sciatic nerve, the piriformis muscle is most likely extremely tense. Lie on your back with your knees up. Place the outside of your right calf on the top of your left thigh. Lift your left thigh and grab it with your hands. Bring the thigh toward you until you feel a stretch in your right buttock. Hold for 30 seconds and release. Repeat twice on each side.  Focus on your neck. Stiff necks often accompany stiff backs. Lean your head forward so that your chin touches your chest. You should feel the muscles in the back of your neck stretch. Hold for 30 seconds. Lift your head up and then lean your head to the right, bringing your right ear close to your right shoulder. The muscles on the side of your neck should be pulled taught. Hold for 30 seconds and then lean your head to the left, in the same way. Hold for 30 seconds. Stand with your back against a wall. Then gradually lower yourself so that you are in a seated position. You should feel your back, abdomen, and quads start to tighten. Hold for 5-10 seconds depending on how long it takes you to feel the burn. Then slowly straighten your legs and return to a standing position. Do this 10 times or so each time you work out. Lie on your back and bend your knees, so that your feet rest comfortably on the floor. Then slowly lift your pelvis off of the floor until your thighs line up with your core. Do not go too far. You don't want to over arch your back. Hold for 5 seconds and then lower your pelvis back to the floor. Repeat 10 times or so each time you work out. Find an open space for this exercise. Begin on your hands and knees like you are a crawling toddler. Hold your head...

TL;DR in English: Stretch several times per day. Strengthen your core with wall squats. Do pelvic lifts to build your core. Do leg reaches. Perform Swiss ball stabilizing exercises. Add more cardio exercise to your daily workout. Do yoga.

Dig an individual hole for each sprout, and cover it so only the green part sticks out. Keep each sprout at least 3 inches apart (7.5 cm), or in separate pots, so they don't need to compete for space. Consider applying a thin layer of mulch to the soil to aid the growth process.  Whether indoors or outdoors, ensure the plants get ample sunlight. If you live in a cold climate, plant the sprouts in pot plants inside and gradually introduce them to the outdoors. The onions have been inside for some time and will need to adjust.  During the winter in cold climates keep the plants indoors at all time to ensure they stay alive.  Expect to see onion bulbs form after 60-80 days! Onions are resilient, but need plenty of water to grow. Pour a little water from a gardening can, or use a hose, on the soil around the onions, not the plant itself. Ensure the soil is well drained. If you are using mulch, the onions will only need 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water a week. As the onions grow, weeds will inevitably emerge around them. Wear garden gloves and ensure you pull the weeds out by the roots so they don't grow back. The spray will prevent harmful fungi from destroying your plants and ensure they remain healthy. A few short sprays on each plant should be enough. If you prefer not to use synthetic compounds, oxidate or copper sprays are good alternatives.

TL;DR in English: Plant the sprouts 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep in quality potting soil. Water the plants every few days. Check the plants for weeds every day and remove any that appear. Treat the plants twice a week with fungicidal spray.

Start in a relaxed position on a mat or soft floor. Keep your head and neck relaxed on the floor as you lie down. You may prop your head up with a thin pillow if you find this more comfortable for your jaw and face. Breathe in and out a few times as you bring awareness to your face, jaw, and neck. Notice if your face or neck feel tight. Acknowledge that your jaw feels tense and uncomfortable. Inhale as you gently open your mouth a few inches. Only open it to a point where you feel no stress or strain. Then, exhale and close your mouth without letting your teeth touch. Keep your neck and face relaxed as you do this.  Repeat these movements 5-10 times, inhaling each time you open your mouth and exhaling each time you close your mouth. Do not force your mouth to open and close if it starts to tense up or feel tight. Let your jaw rest when needed so you do not damage it further. If your jaw does not feel too painful or sore, try shifting it to the left and then to the right. Inhale as you shift it to the left a few inches. Exhale as you bring it back to the center and then inhale as you shift it to the right a few inches.  Do this 5-10 times on each side. If your jaw starts to hurt or tense up, take a break. Do not overexert your jaw, as this can make it worse. Keep your jaw loose and relaxed by doing these exercises once a day. Try doing them at the same time every day so your jaw gets used to the movements. If your jaw does not loosen up or becomes more painful, go see your doctor for treatment.

Choose a location for your bed that gets full sun 6-8 hours a day. Select a level spot. Find an area with room to move around on all sides of the planter. Make your planter no more than 4 feet (1.2 m) wide. Build your planter at least 6 inches (15 cm) high. Select a durable type of wood for the frame to prevent rot.

Food safety is important when cooking raw meat, so find a fresh pink rack of ribs at your local grocery store. Many people choose to smoke with St. Louis style (spare) ribs, which come from near the belly on the pig. They are substantial and tasty — very easy to cook. If you like, you can also select baby-back ribs, which come from the back side, near the loin.  Since baby back ribs are a little less substantial, they're harder to smoke while still keeping them juicy and tender. Adjust this recipe if you do decide to use baby back ribs; the cooking time will lower significantly. While you can smoke prime rib or standing rib roast, that cut contains more meat than spare and baby back ribs do, so you'll need to follow slightly different instructions to cook it properly. on the back of the ribs. With a fingernail or a knife, work your way under the light membrane on the back of the ribs. Grab a hold of the loosened membrane with a paper towel and pry it from the ribs. Much of it should come off in one fell swoop. Discard. With a sharp knife, remove any excess fat that's still clinging to your ribs. Although a little fat is fine and will probably render off during the cooking process, eating a chewy hunk of fat when you're expecting a tender morsel of meat is not the most pleasant experience. A little bit of extra preparation during this step will make the eating experience a lot nicer in the end. ake your rub. A dry rub is a spice mix that coats the rack of ribs and provides complementary flavor to the meat's natural taste. Dry rubs can be made any number of ways (dehydration, spice-mixing, etc.) and using any number of recipes. Explore different recipes and variations to suit your own tastes, or use this very basic dry rub as a springboard for your own invention:  1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup paprika 3 tablespoons black pepper 3 tablespoons coarse salt 2 teaspoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons onion powder 2 teaspoon celery seeds 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper Don't be stingy with your dry rub.

Standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your feet in line with another, stick your butt out backwards. Hold a weight in each hand, letting your arms stay to your sides. Moving slowly, squat downwards while keeping the weight square to your chest. Move downwards until at a 90 degree angle. Hold briefly, and using your butt muscles, clench and push back upwards. Try 3 reps of 15.  When squatting, keep your weight on your heels, rather than tilted forward on the balls of your foot. Always keep good form when squatting. It’s important to keep your back straight and chest open, rather than slumping over into poor posture. Keeping your back straight keeps your legs engaged and your butt working hard. If you feel good about squats, try amping up your reps or the amounts of exercises. Another options is to hold at the sitting-stance of the squat. Pausing at the most difficult part will aid in strengthening, and in turn, enlarging, your butt muscles. Don’t have a set of dumbbells? Don’t find an excuse to skip this exercise. Use things in your home to keep you in tip top shape. For example, a milk jug filled with water and tightly closed can act as a decent sized weight. To amp it up, try filling your jug with loose change.

TL;DR in English: Drop it low with a weighted squat.

The alphabet is where reading begins.  The 26 letters that make up the English alphabet are used to form all of the words in the English language, so this is the place to start.  There are several ways to get familiar with the alphabet; pick the one that suits you and your learning style.   Sing it.  It may seem silly, but there's a reason so many people have learned the alphabet by singing the “alphabet song”--it works.  The melody aids in memorization and the song as a whole gives learners a picture of the entire alphabet and the relationship between letters. You can listen to the alphabet song online or get someone you know to sing and record it for you so that you can listen to it over and over again as you learn it.   Feel it.  If you're a hands-on learner, consider buying sandpaper letters.   Look at a letter and then close your eyes, trace your fingers over the letter and repeat the name of the letter and its sound.  When you're ready, pick your finger up off the sandpaper and write the letter in the air.  Move it around.  Pick up a set of alphabet magnets as a way of learning the individual letters as well as the way they're sequenced in the alphabet.  Later, you can reuse these letters to practice forming words.  Walk it out.  If you have the room, try using an alphabet mat as a learning tool.  Say each letter and its sound as you step on that letter on your mat.  Have someone call out letters or sounds at random and step on the correct corresponding letter.  Get your whole body (voice included) involved by singing the alphabet song and making up a dance as you step your way through the alphabet. There are five vowels in the alphabet: a, e, i, o, u; the rest of the letters are called consonants. You make vowel sounds in your throat with the help of your tongue and mouth while you form consonants by using your tongue and mouth to control the flow of your breath.  Vowels can be spoken alone, but consonants can't. For example, the letter A is simply "a" but B is actually "bee," C is "see," D is "dee"...

TL;DR in English: Begin with the alphabet. Distinguish vowels from consonants. Use phonics. Recognize punctuation marks.

Gum paste will begin to harden if exposed to air. Keep unused portions in a sealable bag or air-tight container to retain moisture. After you take it from the container, the gum paste may be stiff. Knead it in your hands a few times to make it soft again. Dip 1 end of the toothpick into the food coloring. This covers the tip of the pick and allows you to apply little bits of color at a time. Wipe the toothpick against the paste, transferring the color. Roll the toothpick to get the coloring off all its sides. A pair of kitchen or latex gloves will prevent the color from staining your hands. Use your palms and fingers to work the color into the gum paste. Continue kneading until the color is uniform throughout. This will take some time to achieve a solid color. If the color is too dark, you can knead in more untinted gum paste to lighten the shade. Add more food coloring as needed to darken the color of the gum paste. Add color a little at a time to make sure you get the color you want. Since gum paste decorations are mainly intended to be looked at and not eaten, as much coloring as is desired for even the deepest colors can be used. Use a new toothpick each time you need to get more coloring from the jar.

TL;DR in English: Select this procedure when you need small amounts of several different colors. Work with a little bit at a time. Refresh the gum paste. Use a toothpick to get the coloring from the container. Apply food coloring to the gum paste. Don a pair of gloves. Knead the color into the paste. Get the right color.

The primary purpose of a sump pump is to remove water that accumulates in a sump basin. The basin is located in a basement trench that slopes downward. When water accumulates in the trench, it moves into the basin via a pipe, where it is pumped through piping that extends from the top of the basin to the outside of your home. From here, it travels down the slope away from your home.  If your basement is unfinished, you can keep the trench filled with rocks and nothing else. But ideally, you should cover it with concrete once you finish your basement. Call a professional basement specialist if you're not up to conduct the installation on your own. for your sump pump's basin. Start by creating a 16 to 18 inch (41 to 46 cm) line that runs perpendicular to the inside of the basement wall using an electric jackhammer. This will be the width of your trench that holds the sump pump basin. Now, continue removing the patch of concrete flooring of this width along the length of the wall. Now, dig your trench so it's approximately as deep as the bottom of the footing, which are the slabs of concrete directly under the walls of your home.  Rent a jackhammer from a home improvement store and use a pointed bit for the best results. Always stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, grip the handles firmly, and hold the tip at a 45-degree angle to the ground. Press down with medium pressure and let the weight of the jackhammer do most of the work. Thrust the shovel straight downward and wiggle it from side to side and forward and backward to loosen the soil. Get on your knees if it's more comfortable. The size of your basin will depend on your system. Typically, 30 inch (76 cm) basins are ideal for anything 120 feet (37 m) or less, 36 inch (91 cm) models are best for systems over 120 feet (37 m), and 2 basins are used for drains longer than 180 feet (55 m). Continue digging downward with your shovel and don't worry if it's a bit bigger than your basin—you can fill it with soil later. Make sure that the top of the hole for...

TL;DR in English: Research the parts and function of a sump pump. Dig a trench Create a hole for the basin so that the top is flush with the concrete floor. Lay down 4 inch (10 cm) Schedule 10 perforated irrigation pipe onto rock. Cut the drain pipe holes in your basin using a reciprocating saw. Connect the irrigation pipe to the sump pump basin. Lay plastic over the rocks and piping and top them with concrete mix. Locate the spot to drill between the rim joists on the inside and outside. Create a hole between the rim joists using a hole saw. Drill a 1⁄4 to 3⁄8 inch (0.64 to 0.95 cm) hole into 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) of PVC piping. Attach the PVC piping to the pump and connect a check valve on top. Connect another section of PVC that reaches the basin's top. Connect PVC piping between the sump pump outlet and your home's rim joist hole.

Most vegetables do best if they get full sun for most of the day. Find a spot where any plants you intend to grow will get all the sunlight they need.  If you plan to have several planting beds side-by-side, orient them so the long sides face north-south. This will prevent the beds from shading each other. Avoid building your planting bed under a tree to prevent excessive shade and leaf litter. Find an area in your garden that is as flat as possible. Not only will this make it easier for you to build, but it will also help prevent water from draining unevenly from the planting bed.  To check if the ground where you want to build is level, hammer 2 stakes into the ground around the same distance apart as the length of the planter you want to build. Tie a length of string between the stakes and hang a carpenter’s level on it. If the area is level, the bubble should appear between the 2 center lines. If you can’t find a level part of your lawn, you may have to topdress it to even out bumps, or even build a terrace if your whole yard slopes.  You can level out uneven areas in your yard by filling in depressions with soil and tamping it down. Ideally, you should be able to reach everything in the planting bed without having to step into the bed. Look for a spot in your garden where you’ll have the freedom to move all around the planting bed so you’ll have easy access for watering, weeding, and harvesting.  If possible, leave at least 18 inches (46 cm) between the planting bed and any surrounding beds or planters so you can move between them easily. You can build your planting bed up against a wall or fence if you wish, but you’ll need to make it narrow enough so you can easily reach plants at the back of the bed (i.e., at most 2 feet (0.61 m) wide). You can make your planters as long as you want, but they’ll need to be narrow enough so that you can easily reach all the plants inside. For most people, 4 feet (1.2 m) is the maximum comfortable width. For example, you might build a planting bed that’s 4 feet (1.2 m)...

Provide the names and contact information for two personal references, not related to you. Explain why you are applying for a gun license. Complete your application.

The best way to clean a leafy green like rabe is to give it a cold water bath. Fill a large bowl with cool water. You can also use a clean sink if you prefer. Dump the rabe in, separating the leaves as you go so dirt can shake loose. Alternatively, you can wash the greens under cold, running water. However, submerging them is a safer bet for getting out all the dirt and grit. Once you have the greens submerged, you need to agitate them, much like a washing machine does. Move them around in the water so that the dirt comes away form the leaves and into the water. Wash all the crevices in the rabe, including in and around the small buds. Once the you've agitated the rabe for a few minutes, walk away and let them soak. The greens should float to the top, while the dirt should sift to the bottom. Five to ten minutes is sufficient time for them to soak. If the greens are extra dirty, they may need another rinse. Scoop them out, and refill the water. In fact, the rule of thumb used to be three rinses. Modern day produce is generally not as dirty as in the past, but you may still need to rinse it more than once if you got it from the farmer's market.

TL;DR in English: Soak the broccoli rabe in cool water. Swish the greens around. Let them sit. Give them another rinse.

Use the 45-degree angle on your speed square to cut uniform ends off of your rafters by holding the bottom lip against the wood and cutting at an angle. Screw the lip of each rafter into the side of a single, separate joist that is the same length as your playhouse with #3 wood screws. Space your 6 rafters apart equally on each side of the joist that you’re using as a center beam for your roof.  You can use the same sized wood as your joists and just shave the edges off after you’ve installed it. A rafter is any diagonal frame that is sloped against a center beam to form a roof. To make your rafters fit perfectly on top of the walls, you’ll need to cut a triangular section out of each rafter so that the wood sits flat at the angle where it meets the joist. Put your rafters on top of the house and mark the location where it sits on top of the joist on each rafter. Use the 45-degree side of your speed square as a straight edge and measuring tool to cut these pieces out of each rafter with a jigsaw. After the rafters are resting in place, adjust the placement of your rafters by lifting and moving them along the top of your playhouse so that they sit flush with the 4 walls. Fit plywood or particle board sheets over the top of your rafters and nail them into the rafters with a nail gun to close your roof. You can add trim if you’d like to by holding pieces of finished wood against the edges and nailing them into the side of each edge with your nail gun. The section between your wall and the angular roof will still be open. Measure this triangular section and add 2 inches (5.1 cm) to each side of your measurement so that you can nail it into the frame where it’ll rest. Measure and draw your roof siding out with a grease marker and a straight edge before cutting out your roofing material with a jigsaw or circular saw. Slide the siding behind the open area in your roof and nail it into the back of the 2 rafters and the frame at the top of the wall with a nail gun.

TL;DR in English: Cut your rafters with a speed square and jigsaw. Remove the section of each rafter where it meets the joist. Hoist your rafters into place and cover the roof with plywood. Fill in your siding by measuring the open space between your roof and the wall.

Following a gluten-free diet can be difficult at first.  Gluten is surprisingly present in many foods.  This can make following a gluten-free diet a little overwhelming at first.  Talking to a registered dietitian who is a health and nutrition expert is a smart option to start with.  Many dietitians are specialized in the areas of Celiac's disease and other food allergies. Search for a local RD online or ask your doctor (especially the doctor who has diagnosed you with either Celiac's disease or a gluten sensitivity) to refer you to a local or specialized RD. Talk with the dietitian about your current diet, your worries regarding switching to a gluten-free diet and to help give you tips for meal planning, cooking and eating out. After being diagnosed with a condition that requires you to be gluten-free, you'll need to re-learn how to cook and prep your meals without gluten-containing foods.  Sometimes this might be very easy, while other times it can be more difficult.  Swap out your typical pasta, bread or wraps for gluten-free items.  Make sure you read every label to ensure you're purchasing a gluten-free item.  However, it should be very easy to find these items gluten-free. Many food manufacturers use corn, quinoa, bean or rice flours to make gluten-free versions of items like bread, wraps, pasta, muffins or bagels. Bake with gluten-free flour mixes.  If you want to avoid the overly processed gluten-free substitutes on the market, you may consider making your own.  Many grocery stores sell specific flour mixes that are gluten-free and make baking very easy to do at home. Although you will be restricting many items from your diet, there are still plenty of foods that you can and should eat on a regular basis.  Most importantly is fruits and vegetables.  Both of these food groups are naturally gluten-free.  In addition, they are also naturally low in calories, but high in a fiber, vitamins and minerals.  Include a fruit or vegetable at each meal to help balance out your diet.  Measure yourself:  1 cup of...

TL;DR in English: Talk to a registered dietitian. Cook with gluten-free ingredients. Continue to eat adequate amounts of fruits and vegetables. Aim for a source of protein at each meal. Choose alternative sources of grains. Consider taking vitamin and mineral supplements. Choose gluten-free foods at restaurants.

and disinfect the cage once a week. To thoroughly clean the cage, remove all the bedding and make a solution of bleach and water. Spray the solution inside the cage and wipe it down. Then rinse the cage with water multiple times to remove the bleach residue and let it air-dry completely before putting fresh bedding in.  You don’t have to disinfect the cage unless your animals are dealing with an illness, such as ringworm. Bleach may cause irritation to your guinea pig’s feet, eyes, and respiratory tracts. Try using      Check the guinea pig's cage throughout the day and droppings or soiled patches if you see them. Do this frequently to keep your guinea pig clean and the cage smelling fresh.  Rinse the food dishes and waterers throughout the day too. If you’re using fleece bedding, try spot-cleaning with a hand broom you only use in the cage. If your guinea pig's hutch is set on dirt, consider moving to either grass or pavement, especially during colder months. If you let your guinea pig run around outside in an enclosure, choose a grassy space that doesn't have exposed dirt.

TL;DR in English: Clean Spot clean as needed. Keep the guinea pig's hutch or play area away from dirt.

Your request for a gun license begins by completing the “Massachusetts Resident LTC/FID/Machine Gun Application” form. You can get a copy of the form from one of three possible sources:  If you have Internet access, you can print an application directly at home from the website of the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security.  If you do not have Internet access, you can call the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security at 617-727-7775 to request an application by mail. Alternatively, visit your local police station and request a copy of the application form. Additional forms that you might need, such as an application as a non-resident, an application as a resident alien, or a Firearms Licensing Review Board Petition, may be found at the website of the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security’s Firearms Forms and Applications page. You will need to complete the form carefully, either by typing or printing clearly and legibly all the answers. It is important that you read the instructions before completing the form. If you have any questions while completing the application, you should contact your local police department. If this is your first application, indicate that you are a new applicant by placing a check mark next to "New Applicant" at the top of the form. If this is for a renewal license, you will check “Renewal” and provide your most recent license number. For example, if you just want the license to purchase a firearm and keep it at home, then you need what is called an FID. Place a check mark next to "Firearms Identification Card.” If you are requesting permission to carry a firearm, you need the LTC license. You should select “License to Carry.” You will be required to enter your name, address, the date and place of your birth, the names of your parents, your physical traits, occupation and employer information, and either your Social Security Number or drivers license number. You will be asked for information regarding your citizenship, past convictions or...

TL;DR in English:


Ignore gossip. Forgive and forget. Invite them to a group event. Understand that new relationships are inevitable. Find new ways to spend time together. Engage in a favorite activity.

Plan fun nights out with your friends and call or text them regularly.  When you talk, don’t take all your time telling them about your relationship! You have a whole lot more going on than that, honey!  Spend a few minutes updating them about your boo, but keep it at that. If something major is going on in your relationship, like an engagement or potential breakup, you can spend more time chatting about it. Ask your friends what’s going on with them, too!  Remember that to have a friend, you must be a friend. Maybe the reason you spend so much time with your boyfriend is because you don’t have any other close relationships.  Though that’s understandable, it’s time for a change. Make friends at the places you already go to like the gym, a book club, or place of worship.  At the gym, you might approach someone and say, “Hey, I saw you were wearing a Duke shirt the other day.  I’m a big fan!  Did you go to school there?”  Make more small talk and eventually ask them to hang out. If there’s a place of worship you attend, join a small group so you can make friends there.  Many churches have small groups for young professionals, teens, or adults. The biggest support system you may have is family!  If you haven’t spoken to your mom in a few days, call her!  Or maybe you have a cousin whose birthday is coming up, go see them! Connecting with your family is a great way to stay true to yourself while in a relationship. Use your time wisely when at work or school.  Remember that beyond being your boyfriend’s partner, you’re an employee or a student, too.  Even if he should decide to leave you tomorrow, your job and education will be there to stay.  Be hard-working and diligent!  Get to work early and leave a few minutes late.  Take notes in meetings and keep a to-do list so you stay up on your responsibilities. Complete your homework to the best of your ability, do all your readings, and study every day.

TL;DR in English: Spend time with your friends. Make new friends. Check-in with your family. Focus on school and your career.

The things you say to the guy, or even the things you talk about when you're not around the guy, can be a big indication of whether or not you have a crush on the guy. Here's how to know if the things you say mean that you have a serious crush:  If you find yourself always teasing the guy. If you always end up poking fun at the guy without meaning to, it means you have a crush. If you talk really fast or stutter when you say anything to the guy, it means you have a crush. If you're careful about not saying anything that might make you look like a ditz or dumb in front of the guy, then you have a crush. And if you feel like everything you say to him does make you sound like a ditz, then you probably have a crush. If you can't talk to one of your friends for more than ten minutes without mentioning the guy, then you have a crush. If you have a crush, your friends may be able to pick up on it before you do. You can learn a lot about whether or not you have a crush on the guy based on how you act around him, or even how you act when he's miles away. Here are a few ways to know if your actions mean you've been bitten by the crush bug:  If you go out of your way to hang out with him, then you have a crush on him. If you've never watched baseball in your life but are suddenly going to all the school games because you know he'll be sitting in the bleachers, then you have a crush. If you want to be near him whenever you do hang out. If you find yourself drifting toward him when you're in a group of friends, or even touching him in a playful way whenever you can, then you have a crush. If you can't stand being around him when he's flirting with other girls, then you have a crush. If your heart falls when you show up to a place where you thought he'd be and he isn't there, then you have a crush. It may not be a coincidence that you're suddenly spending twice as much time in front of the mirror whenever you know you'll see the guy. Here's how to know if your grooming habits and attention to your looks say that you have a...

TL;DR in English: Be aware of what you say. Notice your actions. Consider whether you are starting to pay more attention to your looks. Be aware of changes to your personality.

Flat surfaces such as a driveway, sidewalk, quiet road, or park trail are stable. There are no slopes, so the falls are shorter and you will have an easier time balancing and coming to a stop. Short grass and smooth gravel are also surfaces you can use. Falls will hurt less, but these surfaces force you to pedal harder to move the bike. Lower the bike seat far enough that whoever's riding can put both of their feet flat on the ground while seated. A low seat allows you to stop yourself with your feet before you fall. Adults don’t need to use training wheels, but young children can use these or specialty balance bikes. It is possible to remove the pedals to keep them out of the way, but it isn’t required. Find out how the brakes work on the bicycle. Stay off the bicycle. Keep it next to you and walk it. Push the brake buttons to get used to their location, how they feel, and how the bike reacts to them. Once you’ve learned this, you’ll feel more comfortable because you’ll be able to make an emergency stop when needed.  If your bike has brakes on the handlebars, test each one to see which controls the front and which controls the rear wheel. These can be switched by professionals.  Notice how squeezing the back brake causes the rear wheel to skid. Squeezing the front brake causes the bike to pitch forward.  If your bike doesn’t have brakes on the handles, it should have backpedal (coaster) brakes. To brake, press down on the pedal closest to the back end of the bike as if pedaling backwards.  If your bike is a fixed wheel and hasn’t been modified, it has no brakes. Instead of braking, you will need to either slow the pace of your pedaling or skid by leaning forward and holding both pedals horizontally with your feet. It doesn't matter which side you choose, but your dominant side will feel more natural. A right-handed person, for instance, can stand on the left side of the bike. Lift up your right leg, reach it over the bike, and put it on the ground on the other side of the bike. Hold the bike upwards between...

TL;DR in English: Begin on a flat surface. Adjust the bike seat. Test the brakes. Plant one foot on the ground. Start gliding. Keep your eyes straight ahead. Start pedaling. Dismount from the bike.

Most states have a minimum residency requirement for people who want to file for divorce. If you've lived in the same place for six months or longer, you can probably file for divorce in your county, even if your spouse does not live there.  If you haven't lived in the same place for long, you may have to first file for separation and then file for divorce after you've met the residency requirements of your state. In most cases you must file in the state where you live, even if you got married in a different state. Exceptions may be made for same-sex couples who got married in a state other than their state of residency for legal reasons. Go to the county courthouse and ask for the forms you need to file for a divorce. You can also visit the county courthouse website and download forms from the internet.  In most cases you will fill out a Family Law Petition, giving the court information about your marriage and the orders you want the court to make. Have your lawyer help you fill out the forms. Fill out a Summons, which describes standard restrictions regarding how your assets and debts will be handled during the proceedings. Fill out a Property Declaration form to specify how your property should be divided. Fill out forms regarding child custody and visitation if you have children under 18 with your spouse. Even if you think you have the situation under control, chances are, there's something you've missed. In order for the divorce petition to be processed smoothly, it's important that the forms be filled out correctly with accurate information, and it's worth it to get a lawyer involved. See  How to File for Divorce for information about taking the next step.

TL;DR in English: Figure out where to file. Fill out court forms. Have your lawyer review the forms before filing.

Ask people close to you for advice on how to achieve your goals. They may have ideas and resources that can help you move closer towards doing what you want, and they will be by your side for the long run. By joining communities filled with like-minded people, you can build connections and relationships that will help you figure out the best way to achieve what you want to do. This is one way to begin networking which can lead you to new opportunities. If someone is offering to help you in whatever way possible, be humble and accept it. Do not feel ashamed to accept assistance from those who are willing to provide it.

TL;DR in English: Get support from family and friends. Find online communities. Accept the help of others who care about you and support your dreams.

Gossip will only hurt your friendship. If someone tries to talk badly about your friend, ask them to stop. Refuse to listen if people say that your friend is trashing you. Even if it’s true, it’s not going to help you patch things up. Say, “I’m not interested in hearing that.” Start with a clean slate. Once your issues have been resolved, don’t keep punishing your friend, acting cold, or bringing up mistakes they made as ammo in other fights. Let go and move on.  Focus on the future. If you find yourself in a similar issue as before, give your friend the benefit of the doubt instead of jumping to conclusions. When you’re first rebuilding a friendship, it can feel awkward. Spending time with a group will allow you guys to spend time together with a buffer while emotions are still raw.  Ask your entire friend group to go out to dinner. Find community or school events, and pick one that connects to a shared interest. If your friend has met someone new, don’t see it as the end of your friendship. One of you will be the first to find a partner or a new good friend. If your friend does before you do, it can be hard to accept your new dynamic, but know that it happens to everyone.  Don’t see it as a rejection. Your friend is not trying to replace you. They just found someone else they click with. Your relationship may change, but it’s not over. Reach out to the new person. Keep an open mind and try to get to know the other person. If it’s a new boyfriend or girlfriend, be excited for your friend’s happiness and let them feel like they can confide in you. If your friend has a new situation in their life that keeps them from you, such as a sick relative, a new baby, or additional work/school responsibilities, find ways that you can easily fit into their day. Since your friend’s life is changing, your time together may need to change, too. Show them that you still fit into their life.  Visit your friend during your lunch hour. Join your friend in an activity you know they attend regularly, such as a class at the gym....

Assessing your risk factors can put you in a better position to understand the symptoms, to recognize the condition and to better treat it. Assess if you have one or more of the following risk factors:  Gender and age: women tend to develop carpal tunnel syndrome more than men and it is most frequently diagnosed between the ages of 30 and 60. Occupation: having a job that requires a lot of use of your hands, such as factory or assembly line work, puts you at a greater risk for the syndrome. Underlying conditions: those with metabolic disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, menopause, obesity, thyroid disorders, kidney failure, or diabetes have a greater chance at developing the condition. Lifestyle factors: smoking, high salt intake, sedentary lifestyle may increase your risk of carpal tunnel syndrome If you notice any of the following five symptoms in your wrist, hand, or arm, you might be developing or already suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome:  Tingling in the hand, fingers or wrist. Numbness in the hand, fingers or wrist. Swelling in the wrist. Pain in the hand, fingers or wrist. Weakness of the hand. Keeping track of your symptoms can put you in a better position to diagnose and treat the condition, should you have it. Your doctor can also diagnose the condition better if he/she has a more detailed history of the condition.  Symptoms generally show up gradually. Symptoms often first appear during the night. As the condition worsens, you’ll start to feel the symptoms during the day. Symptoms that do not go away with time (unlike in the case of a temporary injury) and gradually become worse as time moves forward. This is an easy test that can be used in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome. There are several ways to test this. Try the following:  Sit at a table and place your elbows on the table. Let your wrist fall to maximal flexion to increase the pressure in the carpal tunnel. Hold this position for at least one minute. Another way to do the test is to place the backs of both hands together in front of...

Many rock guitar solos start out with the classic wail produced by a bent string. As the sound from the bend starts to fade, scrape the 2 lower strings with your pick to add some power to your solo. To make the pick scrape sound best, start below your pickups and run your pick up the 2 lowest strings. Leave some space between your fingers and the edge of your pick so your pick maintains flexibility. Using this intro technique allows your solo to flow naturally from the song itself. Choose a phrase from the melody that you like and play it a couple of octaves higher, or a couple of octaves lower than it's played in the song.  Playing a phrase from the melody a couple of octaves lower can give your solo a more ominous tone while raising it a couple of octaves produces a brighter tone. If you start with a phrase from the melody, you might also want to use a few notes from that same phrase as a motif running throughout your solo. Once you've become familiar with different opening techniques, work on combining 2 or more to create a distinctive signature opening. There's no right or wrong way to do this – experiment until you find something you like.  For example, you might start with a string bend, then pick scrape and move into a few bass notes of a phrase from the melody. Listen to acclaimed professional guitarists as much as you can to get ideas for what combinations work well together.

TL;DR in English: Kick off with a string bend and a pick scrape. Play a phrase from the melody in a different octave. Combine opening techniques to add personal flavor.

Grab a journal, diary, or notebook and sit down with it for at least 15 minutes. Think about your mom telling other people you got your period, and write down your thoughts.  For example, if your mom told your sister, try writing, “When my mom told my sister I got my period it made me feel…” You could also write, “I don’t want other people knowing my private business because…” Make a list of the things you want to tell your mom during your conversation. Look over the feelings you wrote down earlier and let them guide you. You can take this list with you when you sit down to talk to your mom. Knowing where and when you’re going to talk to your mom will help you prepare mentally. Having the conversation as soon as you can means you’ll be closer to solving the issue sooner. Waiting too long can cause anxiety and might result in your mom telling more people about your period.  Do you usually have some alone time with your mom after school, while cooking dinner, or when she is driving you home from soccer practice? These could be great times to talk with her. If you don’t have regular one-on-one time with your mom, ask her if there is a good time the two of you can sit down and talk privately. Try saying, “Mom, there is a private issue I’d like to talk to you about. Can we schedule some alone time to discuss it?”

TL;DR in English: Write down your feelings. Make a list. Pick a time and place for the conversation.

The first few weeks for guinea pig cohabitation can be rough, and you should expect some tension between your pets. Know what the signs of aggression are and what body language is a signal for you to intervene.  Mounting or jumping over one another can lead to aggression if one guinea pig resists or retaliates. Keep an eye on this behavior, but do not intervene unless it leads to fighting.  Squealing, chasing, and teeth chattering are common in the first few weeks. Guinea pigs may also gently nip one another if annoyed, and such behaviors are necessary to establish boundaries between the guinea pigs. Only intervene if the guinea pigs are biting hard enough to inflict wounds.  If one guinea pig is constantly chattering his teeth, this is a sign of aggression that could grow serious. Watch carefully, but do not separate unless blood is drawn.  Raised hair, especially around the neck, and feet stamping are signs guinea pigs are preparing to fight. This can occur but watch carefully. Do not separate unless blood is drawn. Again, do not separate unless blood is drawn. Two males or two females humping each other is not an intended sexual interaction, it's their method of establishing dominance. Mounting does not necessarily mean your guinea pig is a boar, or mating. Not all body language is a bad sign. There are certain behaviors that are normal, especially early on, and you should be able to recognize these gestures so you do not intervene unnecessarily.  Bottom sniffing and nudging is a guinea pig's way of greeting a new companion. This is normal and non-threatening behavior. Your guinea pigs may also want to establish their territory by dragging their bottoms across the ground or raising their heads up on occasion to expression dominance, behaviors that are normal during the first few weeks.  Guinea pigs sometimes engage in a behavior called rumble strutting. This is when they walk  with their hips swaying and their fur puffed out while making a rumbling sound. This is an expression of dominance and unless it's...

TL;DR in English: Recognize aggressive body language. Understand that humping each other is perfectly normal. Recognize normal interaction. Break up fights when necessary. Don't be discouraged if they don't get along.

One easy way to get off track is by living in fear. A decision, on your part, has to be made to emerge from the fear of the future. Nobody knows the future so don’t let it be a barrier to a successful future. Hold yourself accountable by being consistent, dependable, and innovative.  Action can build your courage. Embrace your fears so that you can move past them and open your world to new possibilities of realizing who you really are. Positive thinking breeds success. Instead of always anticipating the worst train yourself to always expect the best out of all that you do. Lean on your family and friends for support. They tend to see your strengths whenever you have forgotten them and are often full of praise and encouragement. Repeating failure will result in repeating failure. Break the cycle by resetting your life for success. The important step in resetting your life is to put everything in its proper place so that you can excel in all areas of your life. In other words, live your daily life so that it collides with your dreams and aspirations.  Breaking the cycle of failure is not easy. At some point, you will have to interrupt the way you think, act, or feel to reset your life. All three are interconnected but concentrating on changing one link can lead to changes in the other two links. Interrupt your thinking by improving the answers to your problems. These ideas cannot originate in thin air so take time to read books and articles, ask a professional or colleague, or brainstorm with friends for new ideas. Interrupt your feeling by channeling your emotions to receive positive thinking that produces the results that you want. For example, keep a journal, review your goals regularly, surround yourself with positive people and ideas, and change your physiology to trigger a positive set of feelings. Interrupt your actions by changing what you are currently doing. You might have to experiment first to decide what actions to focus on but, generally, start working on new ideas as soon as you can, modify your...

Due to the variety of possible causes of this serious skin problem, there is a range of possible treatments that could be prescribed by your veterinarian. Unfortunately, antihistamines have a disappointing effect in dogs and most require either short courses of steroids, or one of the modern anti-itch medications now available such at Apoquel or Atopica. There are new products coming on the market all the time., Use prescribed medication according to your veterinarian's instructions. Medication is used to control the itching and start the healing process. Flea allergy dermatitis is one of the most common causes of itching for dogs. Eliminating flea bites on the dog is often the first step to addressing your pet’s itching even if you don’t see any fleas. Dogs can develop an allergic reaction to the flea saliva that causes the dog to overreact with severe itching even if only one flea was involved. Flea control for your dog, all other pets in the household and the immediate environment must be implemented and continued on a monthly basis. The treatment for each mite differs. Serious cases of generalized Demodex may take months of treatment, whereas scabies is typically handled within a few weeks.,  Your vet will prescribe medication for the parasites. Scabies can easily spread to other animals and humans. Steps must be taken to eradicate the infestation in the dog’s entire environment as well as on the dog and on any other pets that may be exposed to the infestation. Prescription shampoos are available from your veterinarian to manage itching as well as treat yeast and bacterial infections. These products may be used in addition to oral medication.  Over-the-counter flea shampoos such as medicated or coal tar shampoo risk further irritating open skin wounds. Consult with your veterinarian before trying any over-the-counter treatment on your dog. Bathing is good for itchy skin, but don't use human shampoo. A mild oatmeal-based shampoo specially formulated for dogs may temporarily decrease itching. If your dog’s...

Shelves are perfect for showing collections, photographs, and items that are not used every day. Shelving comes in a variety of different materials such as metal, wire or painted wood, and can be accessorized to match the decor of the room.  You can find shelving at many department, homeware, and hardware stores.  Shelves don’t have to be for purely decorative items. You can use shelves that are within easy reach to display favorite books and toys, and also to showcase your child's interests. Don't put heavy items on them, though, as these may fall and pose a safety hazard.  Shelves can be placed in many different areas of the room, including above windows, dressers, and desks. Generally, though, it's best to avoid hanging shelves directly above the bed. Storage bins will also give your child a sense of independence for being able to access their own things, and they'll teach them responsibility and how to organize their items. Storage bins can be kept within shelving, wooden cubes, in a wardrobe, or on the floor. You can even get bins that slide under the bed. Having books that are easy to reach and enjoyable to read will encourage your child to continue learning about what interests them. If the bookcase is large, make sure to secure it to the wall for safety. You could create a reading nook by placing a few comfy pillows in a corner, and filling a low shelf with your child’s favorite titles. Underbed storage will help to both organize and keep clutter out of sight. Clothes, toys, and books that aren't frequently used can work well in under-bed storage. Some beds come with built-in drawers for extra storage space. However if you child's bed doesn't have these, you can buy long plastic storage containers from most department stores which are designed to fit perfectly beneath a bed.

TL;DR in English: Hang shelves on the walls for displaying your child’s belongings. Use storage bins and baskets for toys and games. Fill a bookcase with your child’s favourite books. Use under-bed storage if the bed is high enough.

Light up or turn on your grill to medium-high heat. Leave it to heat up to 375 °F (191 °C). You can use a wood, charcoal, electric, or gas grill to cook the sweet potatoes. Transfer the washed sweet potato to a cutting board. Hold the sweet potato steady with one hand, and with the other hand use a sharp knife to slice the sweet potato in half lengthwise. Use a butter knife to spread ½ tablespoon (7 g) of butter onto the cut side of each sweet potato half. Sprinkle each half with salt and pepper, to taste.  You can also season the sweet potatoes with any herbs or seasonings you like, including cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne, or even rosemary. You can also replace the butter with margarine or your favorite oil. Cut two pieces of heavy duty foil that are each 12 by 18 inches (30 by 46 cm). Place one sweet potato half in the center of each foil sheet and wrap the foil tightly around the sweet potato. Use tongs or a metal spatula to transfer the sweet potato halves to the grill. Cook the sweet potatoes for almost an hour, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The sweet potatoes are done when they are soft to the touch and tender enough to be pierced with a fork. Unwrap the foil from each sweet potato half, being careful not to burn your hands when the steam escapes. You can finish the sweet potato halves with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of grated cheese, a drizzle of honey, or any herbs and spices you like.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the grill. Cut the sweet potato in half. Butter and season the sweet potato. Wrap each half in foil. Grill the sweet potatoes for 50 minutes. Serve hot with your favorite garnishes.

Do you really need to seek revenge? Before you take any action, carefully consider your motivations. What will you gain through trying to get back at this person?  Revenge can actually increase anger rather than decreasing it. If you end up hurting your ex back, you may feel guilty, sad, or empty afterwards. Wait and consider your actions for awhile before lashing out. Make sure you know everything about the situation to make sure revenge is warranted. Think long and hard about whether you'll actually feel happier if you get back on the guy. Try to accept your urge for revenge is natural. However, remember that the anticipation may feel better than carrying out the act. You may be better off fantasizing about revenge than actually indulging in it. If you're your best self in the wake of a breakup, this is a great means to revenge. You want your ex to feel like you only got better after he left. Start a workout regimen so you can look and feel better.  Pick a form of exercise you enjoy that you're likely to stick to. If you love riding your bike, for example, start taking long bike rides a few times a week. Be careful getting into a new workout routine. Always talk to a doctor before starting a new program, and ease into any form of physical activity. You want to avoid strain. If you're reeling from heartbreak, this is important. You should accept what you're feeling and take some steps to cope with your own pain.  Allow yourself to experience and deal with your emotions. If you need to feel pain, do so. If you need to cry, have a good, long cry. Do things that make you happy. Go out and see a movie with friends. Go visit your family. Sometimes, being happy can be a form of revenge in and of itself. Imagine your ex seeing happy social media posts of you thriving without him. That may hurt him more than any directly vindictive action on your part. Live in the now rather than the past. Remember, you can't undo the past. You can, however, work on making the most of the present.  It's natural to focus on the pain...

TL;DR in English: Consider whether this is the right move. Start working out. Take care of yourself. Focus on the present. Consider forgiveness.

You'll need to tear up any original sod where you plan to make your green. After sod removal, you should rake rocks and other debris to create optimal drainage, aeration, and seeding conditions.  Using a tiller for the soil will loosen and aerate the soil even more, promoting even better growth and soil consistency. Keep in mind that spring is the best time to plant a putting green. The best way to ensure that your putting area stays sufficiently drained is to install drainage tiles or vented plastic pipe. Dig a trenches that are roughly 24 inches (61 cm) deep and 12 inches wide, that lead from the edges of your green and through it, with the trench sloping downward away from your green leading water away from it. To install drainage, you should:  Place filter fabric around the bottom of your trench so it reaches up the sides. Lay your perforated/vented plastic pipe in the trench. Fill your trench with 12 inches (30.5 cm) of coarse, clean gravel. Fold the ends of your filter fabric on top of your gravel. Refill the remainder of your trench with soil. An extra degree of separation can not only keep your putting green more weed free, it can also keep your yard from getting invaded with Bentgrass or Bermuda. Using a plastic lining is a good way to protect your green from your yard and your yard from your green. For your first attempt at making your own putting green, the easiest kind to make are mostly level. Low spots can ruin the quality of your grass, so you should spread soil evenly with your rake. Keep about a yard of sand off to the side to fill in low spots, animal tracks, or any other unplanned changes to your green. Using your bulb planter, create a hole slightly larger than a golf ball where you think would be best for you putting hole. This is just to give you an idea of the layout of your green; you will sculpt the hole and insert the putting cup later.

TL;DR in English:


Fill a measuring cup with 2-cups (473.176 ml) of water. Spoon peanut butter into the measuring cup. Subtract 2 cups (473.176 ml) from the water measurement.

If your grass is close-clipped, every stick has been picked up, and there's not a muddy spot to be found, bees will have trouble finding a home in your yard, no matter how many wildflowers you plant. Bees are wild creatures who need a wild habitat to thrive. If you want them to take up residence in your yard, do the following:  Allow for some open, meadow-like spaces in your yard and garden. Leave an area un-mowed and let wild clover grow. If you don't have clover in your yard, scatter some white clover seed over the area in the fall. Leave a small brush pile and some leaves lying where they fell. Bees will use them to make a home. Leave patches of exposed dirt that turn to mud when it rains. Some bees live underground and will thank you for access to the mud they need. Bees have trouble using birdbaths, because they aren't able to land in deep water. They need an island to land on so they can walk to the edge and take a drink or a bath without drowning. To make a bee bath, take a wide, shallow dish or tray and line the edges with flat rocks. Pour water over the rocks and into the bottom of the tray. Place it in your garden near the flowers that attract the most bees. The bees will be able to land on the rocks and access the water. Rotting vegetation and stumps are great shelters for bees. More and more backyard gardeners are installing hives and other bee shelters to provide nesting spots for bees. If you're serious about attracting bees to your yard and helping them thrive, this option might be something to consider. You can start by building a small bee "house" using the following method:  Take a small wooden box and paint it a bright color, preferably white, yellow, bright blue or purple. Use organic paint so the bees won't get sick.  Layer the box with nesting tubes, standing them upright. You can buy them from a garden store or make your own by rolling brown craft paper around a pencil, pinching off the end and holding it together with tape, leaving the ends open. Fill the box to the top with these...

TL;DR in English: Let it get a little wild. Make a bee bath. Provide a bee shelter. Stop using pesticides of any kind. Plant flowering trees to attract bees.

Follow that with an additional invitation via email blast and Facebook 2 to 3 weeks before the date. Indicate if you require a response via email or phone. If your demographic is younger than 40, it is a good idea to focus on online blogs, magazines and social media. All advertising should match your gallery's brand, in an attempt to create repeat patrons. Personally invite society columnists and photographers to the show for coverage. This is mostly done through email, but can also be done by a marketing service, fax or mail. Ask if they would like to cover it for their blog, and if they would be interested in doing an interview or a feature of an artist before the event. Post all blog advertising on your social media accounts. It is free to list an event on most of these sites, and some art websites list galleries. Make sure your event is listed on Yelp and local newspaper websites.

You’ll develop a close relationship with your medical professional, so take some time to choose the right one for you. Ask your general practitioner for a referral to an OB/GYN. They will provide you with more specialized care, and be there at the birth of your baby. You can also ask friends for recommendations. Don’t feel like you have to go with the first doctor you meet. You can ask for consultations with more than one candidate. Choose the one who makes you feel comfortable and confident.  Ask questions such as, “How much experience do you have?” and “Are you comfortable with me designing my own birth plan?” Consider a doula or midwife if you are interested in a home birth or a non-traditional birth, such as a water birth. Frequent and consistent appointments with an OB/GYN, a family doctor or a certified midwife can ensure both your safety and your growing child’s safety throughout the pregnancy process. Begin prenatal care as soon as you know that you’re pregnant, when you decide you want to be, or when you suspect you might be. You can start by seeing your regular doctor, but will likely want to transfer to a specialized prenatal care doctor as your pregnancy progresses. So long as you are undergoing a normal pregnancy (according to your doctor), your scheduled prenatal appointments should follow this timeline:  See your physician every 4 weeks until you are 28 weeks pregnant. See your physician every 2 weeks from the time you are 28 weeks to 36 weeks pregnant. See your physician once a week (or more often, as per your doctor’s instructions) after the 36th week of pregnancy. Extra mid-body weight, morning sickness, and aching muscles can all combine to make exercise sound incredibly unappealing. However, keeping active while you are pregnant will ensure not only your health, but your baby’s as well. Regular exercise can make delivery less difficult, make losing your baby weight easier, aid in post-birth physical recovery, and encourage healthy fetal growth. Aim to do thirty minutes of low-impact...

TL;DR in English: Choose the right caregiver. Get regular prenatal care. Get regular exercise. Get enough sleep. Take prenatal supplements. Keep an eye on your weight. Visit your dentist regularly.

This will run the DirectX diagnostics tool. At the bottom of the window the current installation of DirectX will be listed.  DirectX is an application programming interface (API) integrated into Microsoft platforms used for handling video and audio tasks in games. Many games will package the installer for the versions of DirectX necessary to run the game and will automatically run when you run the installer for the game. This will open up a list of settings for Windows. This will open a window with Windows Update selected. This will pull all of the latest software updates for your operating system from Microsoft’s server. Microsoft no longer releases standalone packages for newer versions of DirectX and they must be acquired from Windows Update.. If you wish to only install DirectX deselect all other updates by clicking the checkbox next to each file. In order to complete installation of Microsoft updates you will need to restart your computer. If you are running an older game that requires DirectX 9.0, you can acquire the DirectX End-user Runtime directly from Microsoft. Multiple versions of DirectX can coexist on your computer without conflict. If you are still encountering issues, you can rule out DirectX as the cause.

TL;DR in English: Press ⊞ Win + R and enter “dxdiag”. Press ⊞ Win and click “Settings”. Click “Update and Security”. Click “Check for Updates”. Install the updates. Restart your computer. Download and install DirectX End-User Runtime (optional). Run your game.

While you may plan to live in a public park or state forest, understand that it may be illegal to live in these areas. Make sure that there are no rules about sleeping in public or forbidding "vagrancy." In state and national parks, check to see if you need a camping license.  You can research laws on a city or state website or by visiting a county law library. State and national park guidelines are usually listed on their website. Never trespass on somebody else's land. You could be fined or arrested. Location is everything. You should find a safe area where you can set up your shelter without being disturbed. If you are in a city or urban area, you might be limited in where you can set up, but in the wilderness, you just have to find a secure location.  If you are living in the wilderness, you should find a place that is far away from any potential hazards (such as cliffs, rockfalls, avalanches, or flooding). Find a location that is close to fresh water and to places where you can forage for materials.  In a town, you may be able to set up a shelter under a bridge, at the beach or park, or just outside city limits. While you can always sleep under the stars, you should have some sort of shelter to protect yourself from wild animals, bad weather, or wind. You can easily make your own shelter out of local materials or from a tarp.   A tent is the easiest and most convenient form of shelter. If you don’t have a tent, you can hang a tarp between two trees for a similar effect. If you are living in a hot, dry climate, you might build a ramada. This is a roof suspended on poles without walls. If you are living in snowy conditions, try a snow cave or an igloo. A quinzhee is also an option. This is a dome made out of snow with a hollow inside. Use whatever materials you have on hand for the shelter. If you don't have a tarp, for example, you can use garbage bags or an old raincoat. A good sleeping bag will insulate you during cold or nasty weather, and it provides a certain degree of comfort as well. Try to invest...

TL;DR in English: Check your local laws. Choose a suitable location. Build a shelter. Get a sleeping bag.

Peanut butter is hard to measure in a traditional liquid measuring cup because it's sticky and tends to ball up. If you fill up a container with water first, you can measure the amount of peanut butter without having to level it out. Fill up a measuring cup made for liquids with 2-cups (473.1 ml) of water. If you don’t want the peanut butter to stick to the spoon or spatula that you’re using, spray it down with non-stick cooking spray, butter, or oil beforehand. Otherwise, just add peanut butter to the water in the measuring cup. The peanut butter will cause the water to rise in your measuring cup. Once the water rises to the 3-cups (709.7 ml) mark, you’ll have 1-cup (236.58 mg) of peanut butter. Continue to scoop the peanut butter into the measuring cup until you have the amount you need.
