Pick a location that is convenient for you. Locations where you can fill out and submit your your application include:  Your local board of elections The State Board of Elections The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene The Department of Social Services Your local MVA The Offices on Aging The MTA Paratransit Certification Office All colleges Military recruitment offices Marriage license offices When you arrive at the location you want to register to vote, ask for a registration application. The application will be identical to the one you would fill out if you were sending it through the mail. Therefore, it will be filled out the same way with the same information. When you are finished filling out your application, hand it to the responsible employee where you are. The employee will make sure the application gets where it needs to be. As with any registration application you submit online or through the mail, you must generally register at least 21 days prior to any election. However, if you are unable to register in a timely manner, you may be able to register, in person, during "early voting." To register to vote at an early voting location, go to the location located in the county where you live and bring a document that proves where you live (e.g., a driver's license, ID, paycheck, utility bill). With that information in hand, you will be able to register at the polls.

There are physical marks that remain from cutting. The marks and injuries which cutting can leave behind may make your loved one feel self conscious, which may cause them to stay away from socializing with friends and family out of fear and embarrassment. This can further deplete theie self-esteem levels and make them more insecure, which can feed into the urge to cut themself again. Explain this to them and let them know they can stop and not have any or any additional scars. There may come a time when superficial cutting will no longer comfort them, which can cause her to need to cut deeper and deeper with passing time. This can cause serious health problems, such as infections. The open wounds from cutting that remain exposed cause infections and other serious health issues. Your loved one might end up cutting in the wrong place, which can cause serious blood loss or accidental death. Continuous episode of cutting can disrupt the functioning of vital body parts or organs. This is because the body loses blood during multiple episodes of cutting, which can deplete the hemoglobin levels in the blood, which can cause anemia. Anemia that goes untreated can cause shortness of breath, palpitations, swelling of arms and legs, chest pain, heartburn, sweating, and vomiting.  In the case of children and adolescents, severe anemia can affect motor skills and mental faculties. They may have a poor attention span and become less alert and responsive. Adults with untreated anemia may develop heart related problems and may even experience stroke and cardiac conditions. Anemia may also impair cognitive powers.

TL;DR in English: Explain the scars. Warn them about the health risks. Watch out for anemia.

If an injured person is bleeding, then provide as much basic first aid as possible without moving their head or neck. Rinse away any dirt and debris from wounds with clean (preferably distilled) water. Put pressure against any bleeding wounds with a clean (preferably sterilized) cloth or bandage. Leave any large puncture items in the wound as removing them may lead to much more bleeding.  Splinting any broken bones should only be done by trained professionals or in cases where medical help may not be available for long durations. Keep the injured person warm (with a blanket or a jacket) and hydrated to prevent or delay them going into shock.

TL;DR in English: Administer basic first aid if the person is bleeding.

Oregano can be grown from seeds or clippings, so if you already have some oregano plants, you may want to use clippings instead of buying new seeds. When using seeds, you can generally expect that roughly ¼ of the seeds won't grow, so you may want to plant several. Clippings should only be taken from established plants. You should wait until the roots of your plants are well developed and new growth begins appearing before taking clippings. Oregano is a plant that loves sunshine and soil that drains well, so you should choose a planting location that has these two features. If you live in a colder part of the world, you may want to start your plant indoors and transfer it outside when the weather warms up. Oregano grows best in moderately fertilized soil. It's unlikely that you'll need to add compost or fertilizer for it to grow well. A fully grown oregano plant will be about 2 to 2½ ft tall (61 to 76 cm) and about 2 ft wide (61 cm). For best results in your garden, you should give your oregano about 10 in (25 cm) of space between plants. If you plan on growing your oregano indoors, choose a pot that is about 1 ft (30.5 cm) in diameter. This way your plant has adequate room to grow. You can plant your oregano as early as 6 to 10 weeks before the last predicted frost of spring. However, in colder regions or during a cold snap, you may want to protect your plants with a layer of hay.  In place of hay, you can also use bed sheets, blankets, or plastic sheeting. To prevent damage to budding plants, you can use stakes to prop up your covering. Once the sun has risen and the air warmed, you should remove your covering from the plants. When using hay, you should remove it from covering the plants after the last frost.

TL;DR in English: Choose between seeds or clippings. Select your planting location. Plan extra space for multiple plants. Plant early for a head start.

Although fish are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids, there is considerable risk of mercury accumulation in your body with regular consumption. Mercury can have a toxic affect on brain cells and may harm your baby, so limit fish intake during pregnancy. Flaxseed oil, linseed oil, canola oil, and olive oil contain omega-3 fatty acids without the risk of mercury. Walnuts are a mercury-free source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. A small handful of walnuts each day can help you get a risk-free dose of omega-3 fatty acids without any health risks.

TL;DR in English: Avoid a diet heavy in fish. Use healthy cooking oils. Eat walnuts.

As a non-licensee, you can ship anywhere within your state of residence. Don’t send firearms to other states or countries. If you need to ship your firearm out-of-state for repairs, you can only do it through an FFL holder. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) defines your state of residence as:  The state where you’re physically present and have the intention of staying indefinitely. The state where you’re registered to vote. The state(s) where you live for substantial parts of the year. You are legally allowed to ship to anyone, including other non-licensees. Have your recipient show you a copy of their firearm license or other documentation proving that they can legally own a firearm. You can also conduct a background check on your potential recipient by making sure they aren’t:  A felon A convict of domestic violence A subject of a domestic restraining order A fugitive An unlawful user of a controlled substance An undocumented worker A dishonorably discharged veteran A former U.S. citizen (who has renounced their U.S. citizenship) Someone declared mentally deficient or involuntarily committed to a mental institution. You are allowed ship to a firearm to yourself in a different state. However, only you may open and take possession of the package. If you’re relocating to a different state, you may pack your firearms and ship them with the rest of your belongings. Before doing so, check that the type of firearm you’re moving is in compliance with that state’s laws and local ordinances. Don’t ship handguns through the United States Postal Service (USPS). USPS does not accept handguns for shipment from non-licensees. If you want to ship a handgun as a non-licensee, you will have to use a commercial carrier like FedEx or UPS. As a non-licensee, you may only rifles or shotguns through USPS.

Feed your hermit crab a high-quality food that’s specifically made for hermit crabs. Find it in your local pet store or online. Check the label on the food to see how much to feed them each day.  You may want to alternate between several different foods. Hermit crabs love to have variety in their diet. Small crabs will usually need about 1 small spoonful of food per day. Avoid any food that contains copper sulfate or ethoxyquin. Hermit crabs are omnivorous scavengers that take advantage of any available food both in the wild and captivity. Always add natural food that they would eat in their natural habitat.  Try feeding grapes, bananas, blueberries, and apples. They love tropical fruits found in their natural habitat, like mangoes, papaya, and coconut. Avoid giving them citrus fruits, like lemons or oranges. All vegetables except for onions and scallions are great for crabs. They especially enjoy carrots, lettuce, and spinach. Try giving plain cereals, rice, pasta, unsalted nuts, and rolled oats as treats once per week. Many hermit crabs also really enjoy ground flaxseed. Provide small pieces of meat for your crabs on a daily basis. Hermit crabs love picking meat off of bones. Any type of meat will do: turkey, beef, duck, lobster, catfish, or grubs. Be sure the meat is unseasoned and doesn’t have any sauce, butter, salt, or oil on it. You can serve them raw or cooked. Land hermit crabs need a calcium-rich diet. Find crushed oyster shells, or cuttlebones at your local pet store. Make sure there is always some in the tank for the crabs to eat. Never use calcium sand though, as it can act like cement when wet, and can coat your crabs legs, and make it hard for them to walk.  Land hermit crabs need calcium to help their exoskeleton grow. It’s also important to help them molt. Add some treats to the crabitat a few times per month. Crabs enjoy natural peanut butter, applesauce, raisins, trail mix, and popcorn without butter or salt.  Crabs also enjoy eating grass, oak leaves, and tree bark. Rinse them off with...

TL;DR in English: Feed your crabs commercial crab food daily. Also always add variety to your crabs’ diet with fruits, vegetables, grains, and meat. Keep cuttlebone or oyster shells in the tank to provide extra calcium. Give your crab treats occasionally. Avoid sugary, spicy, salty or preservative-packed foods. Feed the crabs at night. Hand-feed your hermit crab to increase your bond.

Overfeeding can led to a snail population boom. Try underfeeding your aquarium inhabitants (only feeding enough for the fish to eat at each feeding) to see if that solves snail overpopulation. The most common, fish-safe chemical used to kill snails is copper sulfate. If this is used, you need to carefully follow the directions for use given on the bottle to make sure your fish survive the treatment. Most times this will cause a massive snail die-off which may foul your aquarium. If so you will need to spend time removing dead snails and adjusting the water to make sure it remains healthy for your fish and any live plants. Various snail traps are available on-line or through pet stores to trap snails. However, a very simple trap is to place a large piece of lettuce in the aquarium, clip the sturdy stem end to the aquarium's side, and leave it overnight. In the morning, remove the leaf and you will most likely find a large number of snails on the underside. Doing this a few nights in a row may help rid your aquarium of vast numbers of snails.  Snails can also be picked out of the aquarium as they are seen. This is most effective when there are smaller number of snails. However, since snails are mainly nocturnal it may not make a dent in the problem. When snails hatch, they are quite small and can climb up the sides of the aquarium. Use a small diameter hose like an air pump hose and start a siphon. Just go along and suck the little ones out. It may need to be done more than once to remove them all, though you can pull out 100 in a couple of minutes.  Repeat the process in a few hours. Scavenger fish are good fish to add to the tank to eat snails. For smaller tanks, try Zebra or Dwarf Chain loaches. For larger tanks, Clown Loaches or Pictus Catfish will do the job. Assassin snails will also eat their snail brethren. They don't reproduce as readily, so generally don't become a problem like other snails. Clearly there are various methods to rid your aquarium of these problem pests. Since snails can quickly...

TL;DR in English: Avoid overfeeding. Use a chemical to kill the snails. Place snail traps in the tank. Add snail predators to your tank. Try multiple solutions. Clean everything.

Make sure your introductory paragraph states the name of the text, the author, and the focus of your paper. You may also want to include the year of publication and the publication it was taken from if relevant. It is also good to include the topic of the text and the author's purpose. The last sentence of your introduction should be your thesis. Although most reaction papers don't ask specifically for your personal opinion, you should be critiquing, analyzing, and evaluating the text, rather than just sticking to the facts. Look for places where you simply report what the texts says instead of providing a critique or evaluation of what the text says. One good way to analyze and evaluate the text is to connect it to other ideas you've discussed in the class. How does this text compare to other texts, authors, themes, or time periods? If you have been asked to give a statement about your personal opinion, the conclusion may be the best place to insert it. Some teachers may allow you to state the personal opinions in the body paragraphs. Make sure to double check with the teacher first. Since reaction papers are usually short, you don't want them to be long. They can range from 500 words to 5 pages. Make sure to read your assignment carefully to make sure you follow directions. Read through for clarity. Are your sentences clear? Have you supported and fully argued your points? Is there any place where you're confusing? Proof by reading for grammar errors. Look for run ons, fragments, verb tense issues, and punctuation errors. Check for spelling. Double check your assignment guidelines. Make sure you have followed your teacher's directions. If you did, it is ready to submit.

TL;DR in English: Write your introduction. Reread your reaction paragraphs to ensure you make a stance. Explain the greater implications of the text for the class, author, audience, or yourself. Edit for clarity and length. Proof and spell check your document. Ask yourself if you responded to the assignment adequately.

Your Mac OS X and other software updates can keep your system stable and running smoothly. Updates should install automatically, but it's good to check every once in a while and see if an essential update is queued. Open the Mac App Store and click the Updates tab at the top of the window. Review and install any available updates for your system and installed programs. If you're running low on free space, your Mac's performance may take a hit. Clearing out old files and programs can go a long way towards improving your Mac's responsiveness.  Uninstall old programs by dragging them from the Applications folder to the Trash. Check your Downloads and Documents folders to see if there are any old files that you can delete. Programs like CleanMyMac3, Disk Inventory X, and DaisyDisk can find and remove tons of old junk files from your computer. You can free up a significant amount of space using a file removal tool. Use Monolingual to remove unused language files. You can get it for free from monolingual.sourceforge.net/. Don't remove the language you use or the English language, as this can cause problems with the operating system. If your desktop is chock full of icons, this could be slowing down your system. Pare down your icons and files on your desktop to help improve performance. Some programs will set themselves to start as your Mac boots up. This makes it slightly easier to load the program when you need it, but too many will make your Mac take forever to start.  Click the Apple menu and select "System Preferences." Select the "Users & Groups" option then select "Login Items." Select an app that you want to prevent from loading at startup and click the "-" button. You may need to click the padlock and enter your admin password first. Sometimes files and permissions get corrupted, which can cause problems with your Mac. The included Disk Utility can scan for and fix these types of problems.  Launch Disk Utility from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. Select your hard drive in the left frame....

You can plant emergency cover immediately on bare soil that is relatively flat and doesn’t have deep channels or gullies. Emergency cover plants are usually grasses or other groundcover plants that grow very quickly, putting down thick roots that will hold the soil together so it doesn’t wash away during the next rain.  Check with your local nursery to figure out which fast-growing ground covers work well in your region. It’s best to plant a mix of plants, rather than just one, so that you have backups in case one type doesn’t take hold. Use a hoe or garden rake to work compost or manure into the soil. You can also use a light fertilizer if you want. This will help nourish the seeds and give them the best chance of growing. Mulches and mats will add a layer to your soil and help it retain moisture. They also promote an environment for starting and growing plants.  Mulches can be made out of grass clippings, leaves, straw, sawdust, bark chips and straw. For hillsides and places where you fear the mulch will wash away, lay a brush mat over the area to protect the seeds. Here’s how to make one: Lay out long pieces of brush in a vertical pattern. Lay more brush pieces horizontally across the vertical pieces. You can attach them with small pieces of thin wire or twine or even use an organic glue or wood fiber. Once the groundcover has grown, you can plant structural trees to further stabilize the land. This will also help prevent further erosion.  Make sure to plant trees native to your area to ensure that they can survive in the climate. In general, willow trees, black locust trees and elderberries are good selections for this purpose.  Space them so that the entire area under threat will be served by the tree root system. You don’t want to choose trees that require digging a big hole and disturbing the soil, because it’s still too fragile for that. Rather, choose a type of tree that roots easily from a cutting and grows quickly.  Growing a line of trees around a farm, if possible, can be a good idea for...

TL;DR in English: Plant emergency cover. Add a layer of mulch or brush mats. Plant structural trees. Plant permanent vegetation.

Wear a bikini or a pretty one-piece that makes you feel comfortable and cute. Try a bathing suit in a bright color or pattern you wouldn’t normally wear. Slip into a wetsuit or rash guard, too, if you’re going surfing.  Try a white or neon bathing suit to bring out the tan in your skin. Or go with bright red for that classic Baywatch-inspired beach babe look!  Choose a one-piece or a tankini if you want to cover up your tummy. If you have a larger chest, a structured suit with underwire is a great choice; if you have a smaller chest, go for ruffles or embellishment on the top. Slip on a light swimsuit coverup, a flowing patterned dress, or a bright t-shirt, tank, or crop top with shorts. Remember to coordinate colors or patterns with your bathing suit if you can! Top your look with a big sun hat, straw cowboy hat, or cap. Bring along a warm layer, like a light blanket, a hoodie, or a cute knit poncho, if you’re headed to the beach at night. Wear your hair in a loose bun or ponytail, or down and tousled. Get beachy waves if you have straight hair by keeping it in braids before letting it down, or putting wet hair into four small buns before bed and letting your hair loose in the morning. If you have curly hair or an afro, let it loose or try tiny braids.  Try a salt spray product, or make your own by combining sea salt and water in a spray bottle. You can also add coconut oil and leave-in conditioner to the mix to keep hair moisturized.  For natural sun-kissed blonde highlights, combine fresh lemon juice or chamomile tea with water in a spray bottle and spray from the middle to ends of your hair before going out in the sun. Do this regularly to start seeing a difference in your hair color. Don’t wear any makeup at all, or stick to a light lip gloss or chapstick. You can wear mascara, but make sure it’s the waterproof variety.  Try a chapstick that has built-in SPF for a soft shine that will also keep your lips from getting sunburned or dried and chapped from the wind. Use a tinted moisturizer with SPF, which...

If you want to keep busy, it may be easier to do so once you get negative feelings out of your head. Get a pen and paper and jot down what you're feeling for a little bit each day. Then, once your feelings are out, you can focus your energy elsewhere.  Make a list of everything he did to disappoint you. For example, write things like, "He never held my hand in public" and "He didn't want to call me his girlfriend." Once you're done, set the list aside and try to focus your energy somewhere else. In the wake of a breakup, you may find yourself constantly thinking about what went wrong and why. It can be helpful to have new goals. This will help you stay busy and avoid thinking about him.  It is important to strike a balance between activity/distraction and rest/reflection. Thinking about it too much can result in depression, but running away from it can keep you from healing. Think about something you always wanted to do. For example, did you always want to take up running? Try developing a workout routine that will teach you to run. People often become obsessive over past lovers. Sometimes, the easiest way to beat one obsession is to replace it with another. Try to stay present instead of lingering over what happened in the past. At any given moment, keep your mind on what you're feeling and experiencing right now.  Try to enjoy the small day to day things. Even something as simple as eating a great lunch should be savored. If you find yourself thinking about your ex, stop and think something like, "That was then. I'm going to focus on what I'm doing and how I'm feeling right now." You can use grounding techniques to get off the hamster wheel of thinking about him and bring you into the present. Look around and name five things you see. Five colors. Five textures. Close your eyes and identify what you hear or smell. Self care is important, especially after someone hurt you. Do not neglect the normal rituals of eating right, exercising, and caring for yourself overall.  Keep up with personal hygiene. Even if...

TL;DR in English: Write out your feelings. Give yourself something to do. Keep your mind in the present. Take care of yourself.

Clean off and rinse thoroughly any dishes that you want to leave overnight in the sink. You want to make sure there isn’t any food residue that could attract the ants during the nighttime. Consider pouring a little bit of bleach down the drain to wipe out the smell of left over food particles. Ants only need a little crumb of food to begin calling in for backup, so be sure to clean up any bits and pieces of food that could be strewed on the floor and hidden underneath kitchen appliances. Sweep the floor to eliminate food sources for the ants. Mop your floor with a ½ bleach ½ water solution.  Again, this mopping solution can also be a solution of ½ vinegar and ½ water. The only thing that matters is the sterile cleaning agent to eliminate ant trails. You can spray the mixture of vinegar and water around pet food bowls to prevent ants from gathering there. Just like sweeping and mopping, vacuuming helps clean up any bits of food that could attract ants to come into your house. This is especially important for homes with carpeting, as food bits are harder to see against carpet. Use sturdy, durable garbage bags, and remove your trash as often as you can to reduce the possibility of ants feeding on food near and in your garbage can.  Often, a puncture hole in a garbage bag allows for juices to spill and therefore, can attract ants. Consider sprinkling baking soda at the bottom of your garbage can to freshen the can, and repel ants from the food smells.

TL;DR in English: Keep your kitchen sink clean and dry. Sweep and mop your floor frequently. Vacuum spaces that come in contact with food. Remove your trash regularly.

Make sure the string is tight. Make sure you give yourself enough string length to fully utilize this toy. Like the jingle ball toy, this toy is designed to allow your cat to feel like a hunter. The string allows you to move the toy more fluidly, in order to reproduce the shaky, rapid movement of a mouse. This will allow your cat to play with the fishing toy even when you're not around.

TL;DR in English: Poke a hole through a ball and feed a string through. Attach the end of the string to a stick. Wiggle the end of the string around the room. Fix the pole to a board for solo-play.

This should be your top priority. Look for nearby buildings and cars. If none are available, look for any structure you can huddle under to protect from the wind and snow. Stay there until the storm passes or help arrives.  Build a snow shelter if you can't find cover and are in an area unlikely to be found by rescuers, such as in the wilderness. If you're in a more populous area, a snow shelter is not advised, as it will make it much harder for rescuers to find you. If you have a cell phone with you, try calling both your city's emergency number and any loved ones who may be able to help. If cell towers are down, turn your phone off to conserve power and try again later. Periodically shout for help in case someone is nearby who can assist you. Staying hydrated will help to prevent hypothermia. If you have a water bottle with you, drink from it. However, do not eat snow, as this will drop your body temperature, and snow often contains chemicals such as car exhaustion. Find a means of melting it first, and boil it if possible to make sure it is clean. Clap your hands, wave your arms, kick your legs. This will keep your heart rate up and keep the blood circulating in your extremities. Good circulation will help to prevent frostbite.

TL;DR in English: Seek dry shelter as soon as possible. Call for help. Stay hydrated. Do minor, non-strenuous exercises.

To start making a half gallon of kombucha, place 6 cups (1.42 liters) of water on the stove and heat until almost boiling, then take the pot off the heat. While the water is still hot, add ½ cup (118.29 ml) of sugar and stir until it dissolves. Then add 4 tea bags into the water to steep. Let the tea sit and cool to about 75 degrees F (23.88 C). If you want a strong tea taste in your kombucha, leave the teabags in until the tea cools. If you want a mild tea taste, remove the teabags after about 10-15 minutes. After the tea has cooled to 75 degrees F (23.88 C), remove the teabags if you haven’t already. Pour the sweet tea into a large clean jar and add 1 cup (236.58 ml) of the starter tea you developed when you were making the kombucha scoby. If you already disposed of all the starter tea, substitute 1 cup (236.58 ml) of distilled white vinegar. Carefully drop the scoby you developed into the jar of liquid. The scoby should float to the top and cover the liquid in the jar. Place a coffee filter or cheesecloth on the top of the jar of kombucha and use a rubber band to bind the cover in place. Place the kombucha in a cupboard or on a counter away from direct sunlight to sit at about 68-85 degrees F (20-29.44 C). Do not pick up or shake the kombucha while it is developing. If you like kombucha with a sweeter taste, leave it to sit for only a week or a week and a half. If you like a stronger and more vinegary taste, leave it to sit for two or three weeks. When you are ready to serve it, pour most of the kombucha liquid out from the jar and retain the scoby and about a cup (236.58 ml) of liquid inside. You can use the scoby and starter tea for another batch of kombucha. If you are not going to drink all of the kombucha, place it in a sealed bottle and put it in the refrigerator.

TL;DR in English: Heat 6 cups (1.42 liters) of water. Place sugar and tea bags in the water. Let the tea cool to around 75 degrees F (23.88 C). Remove teabags and add starter tea. Add the scoby. Cover the top of the jar. Let the kombucha sit for one to three weeks. Pour kombucha out and keep the scoby in the jar.

Warm up or cool down by practicing bobbing and weaving. Concentrate on making each part of the movement crisp and deliberate. When you’re first getting the hang of it, the bob and the weave should be performed in sequence as two distinct motions. You can begin fine-tuning the movements as you develop a feel for the technique.  Performing the bob and weave technique requires a lot of head movement. Do some light stretches before you begin practicing to keep from pulling a muscle. Bobbing and weaving should be done fluidly and spontaneously. Try not to develop a pattern in your head movement, or your opponent may catch on. For your defense to be successful, it's essential that your opponent does not know where your head is going to be. One traditional approach to drilling the bob and weave makes use of a rope to approximate the center line of your opponent’s body. Simply stretch a length of rope (something as basic as a clothesline will work) from end of the room to the other at roughly chest-height. Then, work your way down the line, bobbing down and weaving underneath the rope and standing back up on the opposite side each time.  Bobbing and weaving with a rope teaches you to move your head while moving forward and backward, the way you would in the ring. Throw some quick combinations as you come up on either side of the rope. This will condition you to follow up an evasion with counter punching. If you receive regular instruction, ask your coach for some assistance refining your bob and weave defense. They’ll be able to critique your technique, demonstrate new training methods and work with you on the target mitts. One-on-one interaction with a coach will simulate using the technique against a live opponent and provide valuable experience. A good coach will also be able to show you how to modify your defensive posture to suit your particular style and body type. Add a little bobbing and weaving the next time you cool down with a shadow boxing session. Imagine that you’re sparring with an invisible opponent...

TL;DR in English:


Many people like to compare live-action roleplaying to playing "pretend." That is, you hang out with other people and pretend that you are someone else, such as a vampire or a pirate. Some live-action roleplays are action-based, where you fight opponents with boffers (weapons made from foam). Others are story-based, where you do not touch the other characters. Instead, you decide whether you win or lose a battle by rolling dice, playing rock-paper-scissors, or comparing character stats.   Story-based live-action roleplays are also called "theater-style" or "freeform." Some live-action meet regularly in a public area, while others meet seldom (ie: once a month or once a year) in a staged area, such as a campground or hotel. When you first enter the world of LARPing, you may hear certain terms that are completely new to you. Most of them are pretty self-explanatory, but some might be confusing. Different groups might have different terms for certain things, but the following are the most common:  LARP: stands for "live-action roleplay." Boffer: a foam padded weapon, commonly used in action-based LARPs. Game master: the person in charge of leading the LARP's story. He or she will be in charge of bringing in new characters, dilemmas, etc. They may also be called a "Storyteller," and are common in story-based LARPs. NPC: stands for "non-player character." They are unavailable to the other players, and are usually played by the game master. PC: stands for "player character." This is the character that you, the LARPer, plays. Crew: also called "stagehands." They help the game master setup the event. Some may also play NPCs. They will vary depending on which group you join. For example, action-based LARPs often have rules against where you can or can't hit a person with a boffer (ie: the head). Story-based LARPs, on the other hand, often have no-touching rules. Breaking these rules may result in disciplinary action, such as a temporary ban or point deduction. Many LARPs require you to be in character. You have to...

TL;DR in English: Choose live-action roleplaying if you like to act or play fight. Find a type of live-action roleplay that interests you. Understand the terminology. Review the gaming rules. Create your character, and make sure that they fit the LARP's world. Get a costume, if needed. Stay in-character whenever possible. Find a place to roleplay or a group to play with. Be well-prepared for longer roleplay sessions. Don't be afraid to interact with other people, but don't take the spotlight either.

If your tree is still young and has just been planted outdoors, it may be especially vulnerable to sunburn. Tie newspaper loosely around the trunk and large branches if you see signs of sun damage, or are living in an area with strong sun. Yellow leaves may be a sign of alkalinity, or too much base salt in the tree. Test your soil pH to confirm this. If the soil is too alkaline, apply an acidic (low pH) fertilizer and heavily wash the soil to leach out alkaline salts. Too much manure fertilizer, or manure applied during the dry season, can be a cause of alkalinity. Aphids are small green pests that feed on many types of plants. If you see them on your orange tree, wash them off with soapy water. Many other solutions are detailed in the Control Aphids article if this does not work. . Ants can be difficult to eradicate, but placing the pot in a larger container of standing water makes it impossible for them to get to it. Use pesticides sparingly and as a last resort, especially if the tree is bearing fruit. If possible, young trees should be brought indoors before the frost. However, if they are planted outside and you have no space indoors, you should wrap the trunks with cardboard, corn stalks, fleece, or other insulating material. Cover the trunk all the way up to the main branches. Healthy adult orange trees will rarely die due to frost, but they can experience leaf damage. Wait until spring to see which branches survive before pruning the dead ones off. Leaving fruit on the tree may reduce the amount the tree produces next year, although if you are only using fruit for home purposes an adult tree should produce more than you need. Some varieties, such as mandarins and Valencia oranges, alternate years of heavy production with years of light production. Fertilize less during the year leading up to light production, since the tree has lower nutrient needs.

TL;DR in English: Protect burned or withered trees by wrapping the trunk in newspaper. Test soil pH if the leaves are turning yellow. Wash off aphids with soapy water. Get rid of ants and other pests feeding on the tree Insulate trees that will be exposed to frost. Encourage fruit growth next year by picking all the ripe fruit this year.

Carefully tip the pot of the plant you’re using in the planter to loosen the soil from the inside of its original pot. Doing this when your plant’s soil is wet works best because the soil will stay together better. Remove the entire plant with its roots and soil all together. You want to try to keep the roots of your plant the way they are as much as possible to avoid damaging them. Once they’re settled into your planter, they will start to take up more space, but for now, don’t spread them out. Simply set the whole plant with roots and soil into your new planter. On the other hand, if the plant appears to be root-bound in its current container, loosen the roots gently outwards with your fingers. A root-bound plant will have visible roots that coil around the inside of the pot. Unless your plant with its original soil is wide enough to fill your tall planter to its edges, you’ll need to fill in the remaining space with topsoil. Make a nice smooth top  layer of soil at the base of the plant, and give your plant some extra soil around its base if it lost any in the transplant. Many potted plants do well when their soil is changed each year, so they get new nutrients. You can discard the old soil from your planter into other parts of your garden, and use a new bag of topsoil to replace it. When you’re replacing the soil, peek down into your bottom filler to see if it needs to be replaced.  Change your bottom filler if you used wood and it’s starting to rot, or become squishy and smelly; and change out aluminum cans if they are starting to rust. Plastic items and Styrofoam generally last a long time, but it doesn’t hurt to check on them and see if they are breaking down and could be replaced. Rocks, broken pottery, and clay pebbles will be the materials that last the longest out of your bottom fillers. As an alternative to replacing the top soil completely, you can also just mix compost, leaf mold, manure, peat moss, gypsum, or other soil amendments into the soil. This works best if you originally started with...

TL;DR in English: Remove your plant or flower from its original pot. Set the whole plant with its original soil into the center of your planter. Fill the surrounding space with topsoil. Change the topsoil and check on your filler each year. Mix in compost or soil amendments instead of replacing your topsoil.

The makeup wipes designed to remove an entire face of makeup may be too harsh on the delicate skin around your eyes. Look for a wipe made specifically for use around your eyes Sensitive baby wipes can sometimes be used to cleanse your face, but they're not designed to lift off makeup. Try to stick to wipes that are specifically for makeup removal for the best results.

Plan ahead and get a good night's sleep before your presentation. Being fatigued during your speech will minimize your ability to deal with the stress of giving a speech. If you have trouble falling asleep, drink some warm milk and think some pleasant, relaxing thoughts. It may also help to listen to a relaxation tape or soft music, or to do some light reading before going to sleep. If you can, clear your calendar of stressful events that could interfere with your ability to concentrate and speak confidently and sincerely. In other words, don't schedule a job interview, a dentist visit, or a meeting with your ex-spouse's lawyer on the same day you are going to deliver that all-important speech. Some people mistakenly think that drinking lots of coffee or alcohol, smoking cigarettes, or popping a tranquilizer before speaking will improve their delivery. However, mood-altering substances are a crutch you don't need. It's best to avoid these substances altogether so that you can use all of your mental abilities to get through the speech. One problem with taking mood-altering substances before a speech is that you can't necessarily regulate the dosage. You don't know how much is too much and, once it is in your bloodstream, there is little you can do about it. Your relaxation may turn to sluggishness. Your pep may turn to jitters. If you have excess energy before your speech, you can get a little of it out by exercising. Do a light workout that gets rid of some of your excess energy but doesn't exhaust you completely. For example, you could do a gentle yoga class or go for a walk a few hours before your speech to get you relaxed and ready. Take some time to pick an outfit that is both comfortable and professional. Polish your shoes and comb your hair. Wear attractive, flattering, professional-looking clothing. When you look good and are comfortable, it will help you feel confident.  If you aren't sure what looking good is all about, talk to friends and family members that have good style. Talk to them about the...

TL;DR in English: Get enough rest. Minimize other stressful events right before the speech. Avoid mood-altering substances. Exercise moderately to calm your nerves. Look your best. Eat healthy

Brush your hair back from your head with a paddle brush or a comb. It should be smooth and free of any tangles or snags. For a more polished look and to prevent flyaways, try finger-combing a smoothing serum through your hair before you get started. Hair can be dry or wet, though it can be easier to braid wet hair if yours is curly or wavy.  If your hair is fine or layered, use a little styling cream or gel to keep hair from slipping out of the pleat. If you want a side braid, brush and separate your hair to the side on which you want the braid to fall.

TL;DR in English:


Hook your thumb through the loop. Wrap your wrist. Encase your hand.

Blister burns can occur anywhere on the body. The most common causes of blister burns, also known as second degree burns, are:  Touching a hot object Fires Scalding from steam or hot liquids such as cooking oils Electrical burns Chemical burns Blisters occur whenever you burn your skin. The type of burn you have will depend on the severity of the burn. First degree burns affect the topmost layer of skin and appear reddish and swollen.  First degree burns are painful but are considered minor. They do not usually produce blisters, but they may peel. First degree burns are dry, and usually take three to five days to heal. Second degree burns are the next level of severity. They are considered minor as long as they are less than three inches wide in diameter. Second degree burns affect surface layer and the next few under layers of the skin. Blisters are often common with second degree burns.  Second degree burns are painful and often form blisters and are red or pink. They may look swollen or have a pocket of clear, wet liquid. If more severe, a second degree burn can be dry with a reduced level of feeling in the area. If you apply pressure, the skin will not turn white or turn white very slowly.  Second degree burns usually heal within two to three weeks. Blistering burns larger than three inches should be seen at an ER or by your physician as soon as possible. If a second degree burn is on the hands, feet, face, groin, a major joint, or the buttocks, see your physician or go to the ER right away. Older individuals and children should be seen at the ER for any second degree burn because complications are more common in these groups. The most severe burns are third degree burns. Third degree burns are considered a major burn because the skin layers are destroyed and should be seen immediately at an ER. These burns affect the deepest part of the skin and cause whitened or blackened skin.  The burnt areas may be black or white. They also will be dry and leathery.  These burns are often painless at first because...

TL;DR in English: Identify the causes of blister burns. Determine if you have a first degree burn. Decide if you have a second degree burn. Seek medical attention for any third degree burns. Count the number of blisters.

The best way to determine if a hair stylist is a good fit for your needs is to talk to clients who’ve worked with him or her. That means asking people with haircuts that you admire for stylist recommendations. If a friend or family member always seems to have a really great cut, ask who styles their hair so you can consult the stylist.   You don’t just have to ask people who you know for stylist recommendations. If you see a stranger with a haircut that you really love, ask what salon they go to and which stylist they see. If you decide to make an appointment with the recommended stylist, make sure to drop the name of the person who referred you. It can help give the stylist an idea of what type of look you prefer. Even if a trusted friend or family member recommends a stylist, it’s a good idea to do a little more research on the stylist to ensure that they are a good fit for you. That’s because your loved one may have a different hair type than yours, and the stylist may not be as skilled at cutting your type of hair. Search Yelp, CitySearch, and other business reviews sites to see what clients have to say about the salon and the stylist.  Take an average of the reviews that the stylist or salon that you’re considering, so you can get a pretty good idea of their skill level. Salons often have Instagram accounts where they post photos of the cuts and styles that are done by their stylists -- and individual stylists may have their own accounts. Check out the photos to see if you like their work. Prior to getting your haircut, you may want to check out the salon that you’re considering to see if it you like the vibe without making any major changes to your hair. That’s why booking a blowout at the salon is a good idea. You can check out the facilities and get a feel for the stylists so you’ll know if you be comfortable coming back for a haircut.   If possible, ask for the stylist who you’re considering to do your blowout, so they can get a feel for your hair and you can ask about potential hairstyles. Keep in...

TL;DR in English: Get recommendations. Search for online reviews. Schedule a blowout.

Using the explicit formula and some basic algebra, you can find several pieces of information about an arithmetic sequence. In its original form, a(n)=a(1)+(n−1)d{\displaystyle a(n)=a(1)+(n-1)d}, the explicit formula is designed to solve for an and give you the nth term of a sequence. However, you can algebraically manipulate this formula and solve for any of the variables.  For example, suppose you have the end of a list of numbers, but you need to know what the beginning of the sequence was. You can rearrange the formula to give you a(1)=(n−1)d−a(n).{\displaystyle a(1)=(n-1)d-a(n).}  If you know the starting point of an arithmetic sequence and its ending point, but you need to know how many terms are in the list, you can rearrange the explicit formula to solve for n. This would be n=a(n)−a(1)d+1{\displaystyle n={\frac {a(n)-a(1)}{d}}+1}. If you need to review the basic rules of algebra to create this result, check out Do Algebra or Simplify Algebraic Expressions. You may know that the 50th term of an arithmetic sequence is 300, and you know that the terms have been increasing by 7 (the “common difference”), but you want to find out what the first term of the sequence was. Use the revised explicit formula that solves for a1 to find your answer. Use the equation a(1)=(n−1)d−a(n){\displaystyle a(1)=(n-1)d-a(n)}, and fill in the information that you know. Since you know that the 50th term is 300, then n=50, n-1=49 and a(n)=300. You also are given that the common difference, d, is 7. Therefore, the formula becomes a(1)=(49)(7)−300{\displaystyle a(1)=(49)(7)-300}. This works out to 343−300=43{\displaystyle 343-300=43}. The sequence that you have began at 43, and counted up by 7. Therefore, it looks like 43,50,57,64,71,78…293,300. Suppose you know all about the start and end of an arithmetic sequence, but you need to find out how long it is. Use the revised formula n=a(n)−a(1)d+1{\displaystyle n={\frac {a(n)-a(1)}{d}}+1}.  Suppose you know that a given arithmetic sequence begins at 100 and increases by 13. You are...

TL;DR in English: Rearrange the explicit formula to solve for other variables. Find the first term of a sequence. Find the length of a sequence.

Buy a shower curtain at a dollar store that you can throw away after the holiday. Use red paint to make a few handprints on it. Let some of the paint drip down the curtain and make some other smudges.  It is probably best to do this outside on the grass or in the garage. You don’t want to smear the paint around too much or it will start to look like just a blob of red. Let the curtain dry completely before you hang it up in your shower. Hang it so the painted side is facing inward. Using some washable red paint, or lipstick, scrawl a warning across your mirror. Writing “you’re next” or “Red Rum” are classic horror phrases. You can splatter some other paint onto the mirror or makes streaks around the words. An added scare tactic that uses the mirror is to hang a creepy picture on the wall that faces the mirror. Position it in such a way that when people look in the mirror they can see the picture right behind them. You can throw a cheap rug down and make “bloody” footprints that lead out the door. If you don’t mind getting the floor messy, you can make footprints on the floor as well. Be sure that whatever you use to make the footprints is washable. Another option is to make handprints that look as if someone crawled away. You can smear some paint along with the handprints as if the person was dragging their body away.

TL;DR in English: Smear a cheap shower curtain with red paint. Make the mirror a warning. Turn the floor into an escape trail.

Talking may allow her to express emotions she might otherwise not. Afterward, you’ll be better equipped to support her. Remember to use suggestive language versus telling her what to do.  Ask her if she wants to share how she feels. For instance, say “I know you are really hurt, I want you to know that I’m here to talk when you are ready.” Do not force her to talk. Let her talk to you when she is ready. If appropriate, share how you feel. Say something positive, like “Although I feel really sad, we’re here for each other.” Ultimately, you and your wife may need more help than you can provide alone. Fortunately, there are a lot of resources available to help women who have gone through a miscarriage. Spend a little time locating these resources.  Locate a mental health professional. See if your wife wants to talk to someone alone or with you. Use the internet or ask friends to find support groups for women who have suffered miscarriages. Find online resources to help your wife. You or your wife may be able to find great information on websites, blogs, or discussion forums about similar experiences others have gone through. Your OBGYN may be able to refer you to support services geared toward women who have suffered miscarriages. Many women who experience a miscarriage continue to suffer serious emotional problems for an extended amount of time. Ultimately, the emotional trauma of a miscarriage may persist throughout your wife's life.  Make sure you continue to offer support and a shoulder to lean or cry on indefinitely. Just because your wife does not articulate that the miscarriage still bothers her, this does not mean it doesn't. Realize that the emotional trauma of a miscarriage may persist for months or even years. Offer to run any errands she may have to do, unless she expresses that she wants to get out of the house. Women who have suffered miscarriages may ignore their own health and well-being in the short-term. As a result, you need to provide extra support to make sure her grief does not overshadow...

TL;DR in English: Offer to talk. Get professional help together. Continue to support her for the long-haul. Be attentive to her health. Avoid common pitfalls.

First, hold your hand up in an open position, palm-down. Keep your hand straight with your forearm, with your fingers straight and slightly spread out. Spread your fingers and thumb apart. Then slip the wrap’s looped end over your thumb so that the wrap itself falls across the back of your hand. Be sure to begin wrapping your hand across the back of your hand rather than your palm. Beginning with the back of your hand will prevent the wrap from loosening later on. Let the wrap fall from the outside (pinky-end) of your hand. Pull the loose end under your wrist, below the ball of your thumb. Then wind it over the top of your wrist, drawing it tight enough to provide support for your wrist, but not so tight that it cuts off circulation. Repeat so that you complete a total of two to three passes under and over your wrists. For extra support, wrap your wrist three times. However, if your wrap is too short, or if you prefer keeping your wrists a little loose for specific punching styles (like uppercuts and angled hooks), only wrap it twice. Once you have finished your wrist, let the loose end hang once again from the outside of your wrist. Pull the loose end under your palm to the area between your thumb and index finger. Draw it over the top of your hand, again making sure that you pull it tight enough for support, but not tight enough to restrict blood-flow. Repeat for a total of three passes under and over your hand. At this point, focus more on wrapping your hand securely rather than your knuckles.

Lower your eyebrows slightly, but do not allow them to slant inward. This can make you look angry. You should also wrinkle your brow, giving you the appearance of being deep in thought, and squint your eyes slightly. It also may benefit you to keep a straight face.  It can take some practice to get a perfect serious expression. Practice in front of the mirror. You can also ask for honest feedback. Take a picture of your serious face and send it to a friend. Have him guess what emotion you're trying to convey. Giggling can make you look nervous. It can also make it seem like you're not taking what the other party is saying seriously. Maintain a straight face during conversation.  If you have a natural tendency to giggle when nervous, work against it. Focus extra hard on the conversation if you feel the need to giggle creeping in. Keep in mind it's rude not to smile or giggle ever. If a co-worker makes a joke, offer a smile and a brief giggle; however, keep it under control. Uproarious laughter is unlikely to make you look serious. Practicing deep breathing can help you calm yourself and it gives you something to pay attention to if you’re trying to avoid nervous giggling. Serious people are often quiet and contemplative. It can benefit you to adopt a serious pose when lost in thought.  Avoid making eye contact with people around you. Fold your arms and cross your legs. Stay quiet and maintain a serious expression. You do not stay in this pose permanently. You only need to hold it until you work through your thoughts. Holding it too long may look awkward. During a serious discussion, try not to react to what you hear. Be aware of your face. Try to hold your serious expression, even if someone says something frustrating or upsetting.

Babysitting is as much a job as it is an opportunity to enjoy the company of children. The kids will be more receptive to you and your rules if they like you, and they’ll grow to like you faster if you try to develop a relationship with them. Talk with them, ask them questions, and joke around in order to develop a good relationship. Younger kids might not want to talk for too long, so try to incorporate during play or activities. Although your job is to watch over the children, you should be interacting with them as much as possible by playing with them. Play will vary based on their ages; if you’re watching an infant you may be doing nothing more than making faces and holding up toys. Get creative with the things you come up with for the children to do to keep them interested and out of trouble. Make-believe games are great fun. You could even make up a simple handshake with the children.  Be an entertainer. Parents love babysitters who help kids have fun and learn while still reinforcing rules and keeping discipline. Ask kids to show you their favorite toys. Find out from parents and other babysitters what games kids of different ages like to play. Get the kids outdoors if you can. Playing with toys, board games, and activity-based games are all good options for older children. Ask what their favorite thing to do is. You can also bring a few of your favorite games and toys from when you were their age, like Monopoly, Life, Candyland, Uno, or other card games. Stay off screens. Parents are paying you to watch the kid, not put them in front of a television all day. Kids like stories, and they'll be impressed by even the worst storytellers. Come equipped with obscure fairy tales they probably haven't heard, like "The Shoemaker and the Elves" or "The Twelve Dancing Princesses." You can even use stories as rewards. If you’re spending a long time watching the children, you can do projects together that are enjoyable for everyone. Consider doing an arts and crafts project or cooking/baking a new recipe (or an old...

Health care professionals and specialists in speech problems can work with you or your child to overcome the effects of stuttering.  Stuttering is best treated sooner, rather than later, as it may become more difficult to treat later in life.  Contact your doctor if your notice any of the following aspects to your stuttering:  Stuttering that develops during adulthood. Any muscle tightening or visible difficulty speaking. If your stuttering is affecting your social life, work life, or quality of life. Any stuttering that causes anxiety, fear, or loss of self-esteem needs to be addressed. Stuttering that lasts for longer than six months. If stuttering occurs along side other speech problems. If you notice stuttering worsening either in yourself or in your child. Speaking quickly or in a hurried fashion can have an effect on the amount of stuttering that occurs in conversation.  By slowing down and speaking deliberately, a person can learn exactly when and what triggers their stuttering.  Speak slowly and simply.  Try saying one syllable words, one at a time.  Strive to have each word come out clearly before moving on to the next word. Monitor your speech as you talk, looking for which words or mental states might cause stuttering to occur or worsen. Don't be afraid to leave pauses or silence in your speech.  Go at your own pace as you practice. Practice words that you notice as problematic. Gradually increase the length of words and sentences.  Overtime you will work towards implementing problematic words in your speech. There are two main types of devices today that can help with stuttering problems.  Some of these are small enough to be worn throughout the day by the person who stutters.  One device plays back a persons voice to them in an ear phone, with a delay.  This delay causes the person to slow their speech down, which can reduce stuttering. Another method makes it sound like your own speech is in unison with the speech of another person.  Hearing your own speech in this way can also reduce any...

TL;DR in English: Visit with a doctor or speech language pathologist. Practice controlled fluency. Ask your doctor about electronic devices that reduce stuttering. Work with a cognitive behavioral therapist. Relax when speaking. Discover what the main causes of stuttering are.

The older growth should go toward the bottom of the pot, with the newer growth toward the sides, where it will have more room to spread out. The top part of the root mass should be at the same level it was in the previous pot. That means the new shoot should be above the surface of the pot, with most of the roots below the surface. Pour some in around the roots. Shake the pot and tap on the side of the pot to help the potting material settle lightly packed around the root coils. If you do use your fingers, press gently so that the live roots are not damaged. Make sure there are no big air pockets. If parts of the roots are left uncovered, they won't grow properly.   It helps to pour in just a little potting mix at a time. Work that around the roots with your fingers, then pour in more mix and keep going. Continue pressing in the mix until it's level with the top of the pot. Stake the plant upright or clip it to the side of the pot so it does not fall over or grow crookedly. Place your orchid in a temperate spot with partial shade. Water it sparingly or according to the needs of your particular orchid.

TL;DR in English: Place the orchid in its new pot. Press the potting mix into the pot. Make sure the plant is able to stand upright when you're finished. Continue  caring for your orchid as before.

Before you spray new bamboo leaves, make sure that you either cut or mow it down and then allow it to regrow. It sounds weird, but you need to let new bamboo grow. Bamboo herbicide won't be effective if the canes of the bamboo are well-developed.  Bamboo is stringy but not very hard.  A "lopper", which looks like scissors with huge handles and a little jaw, cuts it much better than a saw. Cut the bamboo down in late winter so that you can be applying to herbicide on the new growth in late spring or early summer. Glyphosate herbicide only kills the plants that it comes into direct contact with. This means that you'll need to be careful about applying it only to the bamboo. Most glyphosate herbicides need to be sprayed onto the leaves, stalks, and shoots of the plant and allowed enough time to penetrate before any water dilutes it. Unless instructed to do so, do not apply glyphosate herbicide to the soil surrounding the bamboo, as it will be ineffective.  To reduce the risk of killing the wrong plant or over-spraying, you can paint the herbicide onto leaves and stalks with a brush instead of spraying the plant. If you're near a water supply (river, lake, ocean, etc.) make sure that you're using an herbicide that's meant for eradicating plants near water. You don't want to contaminate nearby bodies of water. Another way to mow down bamboo in its tracks is to cut down the canes and then apply a stump and root killer containing glyphosate or triclopyr to the foliage of any regrowth and to the cut stump. One application won't eradicate the infestation; bamboo is tough and tends to spread like wildfire. (Unfortunately, even wildfire can't completely get rid of this pest!) As the bamboo continues to send up shoots, you'll need to continually apply the herbicide treatment to the leaves, stalks, and shoots of the plant in order to properly exterminate it.  When using any kind of herbicide, remember to consult instructions that come with packaging. Some herbicide instructions may differ significantly from the advice...

TL;DR in English: Cut the bamboo down to soil level and wait for new shoots to grow back. Apply glyphosate herbicide to the leaves, stalks, and shoots of the bamboo. Alternately, use a stump and root killer on the bamboo. Repeat treatment.

Try to do this discreetly, via email if possible. You don't want to embarrass the employee, particularly if they have good reasons for their absence. Calmly explain your concerns about their absenteeism to them. Simply state that you have seen a pattern in their absenteeism, and that you want to determine if these absences are legitimate, or if you need to work together to improve the issue. Avoid stating any suspicions you have about their absences, as this may cause the employee to become defensive. Give the employee a chance to explain his absences. Be aware that he may have to share very personal information with you about a family crisis or health issue, so do your best to be compassionate and patient. Also be aware that he may not have a good excuse for his absence. In this case, you should still remain calm and concerned. It will not be helpful to scold the employee or make them feel even more embarrassed, particularly if you are interested in keeping them as an employee. Remember that it is not yours or the company's job to fix your employee's non-work related problems. Instead, your job is to provide them with the resources they need to do their job well. Explain that while absence is sometimes unavoidable, chronic absenteeism hurts the company and creates extra work for others. When your business is doing its peak volume, it's especially important for him to be there as scheduled. It can also create interpersonal conflict within the work team if people are picking up the slack for someone who does not adhere to the attendance policy. If you have determined that the employee's chronic absence is not related to legitimate issues, warn the employee that he needs to improve or face disciplinary action. Document the meeting and make it clear that a verbal warning was given. It is important to have evidence that you discussed the matter with the employee, and that it is clear what went on in the meeting. This could help avoid future disagreements about what went on and what did not.

TL;DR in English: Ask your employee for a meeting. Explain the problem to them. Determine the Cause of Absence. Avoid taking responsibility for the employee's absence. Explain why absenteeism is a problem. Provide a verbal warning.

Once you’ve completed your degree, begin searching for jobs in the public relations or communications field. Websites like journalismjobs.com and prsa.org are great places to share your resume or search through job listings, but many area businesses will also advertise openings in your local newspaper. Contain your search to positions specified as "entry level" or "assistant" if you don't have any professional experience; employers understand that the applicants for these positions are often straight out of college or just breaking into the career field. Relate any major projects, rewards or achievements you garnered for yourself through your education or internship to prospective employers during the interview process. After all, your intended career is based around promoting a positive public image. Whether it’s your first interview or your first day of work, be sure that you’re dressed appropriately and professionally, you’re ready to meet and share ideas with new people and you have everything you need to get to work. Publicists often speak for their client in front of the cameras as well as in print, so many employers demand a personable attitude, friendly demeanor and professional bearing.  How you carry yourself reflects on your capabilities as a public relations expert every bit as much as the image you manage to construct for your clients. You are your own first PR project! Publicity can be an excellent career choice if you consider yourself a “people person,” as the type of work it entails is centered around establishing and maintaining positive relationships and interactions between a single person or group and the public at large. Attaining one of the more coveted and high-earning publicist positions, like public relations director, can take many years of taxing work. Be prepared to spend your first few years writing press releases and taking care of basic administrative tasks before you make it into the big leagues being trusted with high-profile projects. Stay focused and put your best ideas...

TL;DR in English: Start looking for public relations work. Develop your own professional image. Work your way to the top. Consider going back to school.

Many mothers with mastitis start to feel like they have the flu, with symptoms like a high fever, body aches, chills, and exhaustion. This is the is the most common presentation for mastitis. Take your temperature if you are feeling ill and think you may have mastitis. A temperature above 101 °Fahrenheit (38.3 °C) can be an indication that you have mastitis. These symptoms often occur when a milk duct is clogged prior to the development of mastitis. Detecting these symptoms early can help you take steps to treat the problem before full blown mastitis develops.  The skin of your breasts may also appear shiny and have red streaks or red wedge shaped marks. Your breasts may also feel tender and warm to the touch and it may feel painful when you try to breastfeed. Mastitis usually occurs in the first few weeks of breastfeeding, though it can occur any time during breast feeding. Keep in mind mastitis tends to affect only one breast. If your breasts are not improving, you continue to have a high temperature or you are feeling more ill as time passes, chances are you are dealing with a mastitis infection and should seek immediate medical care.  If the doctor determines that the mastitis is the result of an infection, she may prescribe a round of antibiotics. Mastitis can turn into an abscess which is very difficult to treat and may involve disfiguring surgery, so it is important to see the doctor as soon as you feel like mastitis is developing. You will need to continue breastfeeding, even if you have an infection. You will not pass the infection to the baby. Not breastfeeding when you have mastitis can make the infection worse. Talk with your doctor about ways to minimize the pain.

TL;DR in English:


Gather the ends of the fabric and pin them together. Sew the arms together on each side, over the edges of the arm material. Pin the sides of the robe together in the same fashion. Fold the fleece approximately 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) on each side of the center slit. Sew a 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) hem into the edge of each center slit. Sew together a robe waist band from your scrap pieces of fleece. Turn your robe inside out and try it on. Cut 2 piece of scrap fleece that are 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) long and 2 inches (5 cm) wide. Put the finishing touches on your robe as desired. Finished.

In this noble quest to positively impact the world, it's easy to always look far down the road and overlook the opportunities you have to help others right now. Think about how you can improve someone's life today.  You may be very busy and think you don't have much time to spare, but you can still find little ways to help others. For example, you can set your alarm just a few minutes earlier than normal and scrape the ice off your neighbor's car before you head off to work. If you're in school, you can offer to organize a study group before a big exam or offer to share notes with your classmate who has been out with the flu for two weeks. Make a resolution to perform good deeds every day. The best way to do this is to look for little ways to spread joy and/or help others. For example:  Hold doors open for the people, making sure to do it with a welcoming smile. Let someone who looks to be in a hurry move in front of you while waiting at the grocery store. Buy a pack of diapers for the new parents across the street (even if you don't know them). Spend a few minutes cutting coupons from the newspaper so that you can pick up some extra groceries, and then donate them to your local food pantry. Sincerely ask those who serve you (your waiters and waitresses, check-out clerks, gas station attendants, etc.) how they are doing. Even though these are fairly small gestures, they can still have a big impact on others. You'll continue to find ways to make positive changes in others' lives on a daily basis, no matter how small. However, don't forget to think bigger and longer-term as well.  For example, do you want to be a philanthropist or work for a non-profit someday? Would you like to work for Doctors Without Borders? Do you want to make sure that all children have (beyond) adequate learning materials at school? Depending upon your longer-term goals, you may need to spend some of your time now developing and sharpening your skills and acquiring the requisite knowledge. This might mean that you'll need to enroll in...

TL;DR in English: Identify ways that you can help right now. Look for the little ways to help. Look to the future. Count your blessings.

The most basic Punnett squares are quite simple to set up. Begin by drawing a good-sized square, then dividing that square into four even boxes. When you're done, there should be two squares in each column and two squares in each row. On a Punnett square, columns are assigned to the mother and the rows to the father, or vice versa. Write a letter next to each row and column that represents each of the mother's and father's alleles. Use capital letters for dominant alleles and lowercase for recessive alleles. This is much easier to understand with an example. For instance, let's say you want to determine the odds that a couple's child will be able to roll its tongue. We can represent this with the letters R and r — uppercase for the dominant gene and lowercase for the recessive. If both parents are heterozygous (have one copy of each allele), we would write one "R" and one "r" along the top of the grid and one "R" and one "r" along the left side of the grid. Once you've figured out the alleles that each parent is contributing, filling in your Punnett square is easy. In each square, write the two-letter gene combination given from the mother and father's alleles. In other words, take the letter from the space's column and the letter from its row and write them together inside the space.  In our example, we would fill in our squares like this: Top left square: RR  Top right square: Rr  Bottom left square: Rr  Bottom right square: rr  Notice that, traditionally, dominant alleles (capital letters) are written first. Each square of a filled-in Punnett square represents an offspring that the two parents can have. Every square (and thus every offspring) is equally likely — in other words, on a 2x2 grid, there is a 1/4 possibility for any of the four possibilities. The different combinations of alleles represented on a Punnett square are called genotypes. Though genotypes represent genetic differences, the offspring won't necessarily turn out differently for each square (see step below.)  In our example Punnett...

TL;DR in English: Make a 2x2 square grid. Use letters to represent the parent alleles for each row and column. Write the letters for each space's row and column. Determine each potential offspring's genotype. Determine each potential offspring's phenotype. Use the squares to determine the probability of different phenotypes.

Let it get nice and hot before adding the sausage, as this will quickly brown the sides. A thick or heavy-bottomed pan will hold its heat even as you add cold ingredients, leading to a better final consistency. Arrange your ingredients near you and cut open the package of sausage, waiting to add until the pan gets hot. Let the milk get to room temperature as well -- it's best if it warms up on the counter a bit before adding it, so don't leave it in the fridge because you're worried it might spoil. It won't. A classic sausage gravy is spiced only with ground black pepper and the seasoning already on the sausage. You can use as much as you desire to get your perfect sausage gravy. Recipes range from 2 teaspoons to 2 whole tablespoons, so add it bit by bit and taste to get your desired amount. A pinch (1/4 teaspoon or so) of nutmeg is also added frequently. This gravy is best right off the stove, and it tends to thicken too much and congeal after the first day. Enjoy it hot and fresh, preferably slathered over fresh biscuits.

TL;DR in English: Heat your skillet, preferably cast iron or heavy-bottomed to medium heat. Season with ground black pepper to taste. Eat while still hot, adding a bit more milk and simmering if it gets too thick.

Real fur stoles can be expensive, especially if they are made of rare furs like mink, fox, and chinchilla. You can pay a few hundred dollars for a real fur stole, or more if the fur is high-quality or rare. If you plan to wear the fur stole often or like to invest in your clothing, a real fur stole may be the way to go. You may also prefer the feel of real fur, especially if you plan to wear the fur stole a lot. If you’d prefer not to harm animals, and do not want to spend too much on the fur stole, go for a faux fur option. Faux fur is designed to feel and look as close to real fur as possible. Faux fur stoles can range in price from $30-$100 USD. A fur stole in a solid color like grey, brown, or black can be a great addition to your outfits if you tend to wear patterns or graphics. It can also add texture to a colorful outfit. A stole in a bright solid color like red, blue, or pink can help add a pop of color to your outfits, especially if you tend to wear clothing in neutral colors like black or white. A fur stole with colorful stripes or a geometric pattern can be a fun, bold option, especially if you tend to wear simple styles or clothing in muted colors. A striped or pattern stole can be a great statement piece, taking a simple outfit up a notch. Keep in mind a striped or patterned stole may not be as versatile as a solid colored stole, as you may not be able to pair it as easily with the clothing in your closet. Fur stoles, faux and real, are easy to find online or in person at major fashion retailers. Look at department stores and clothing stores in the accessories section. Compare a few styles and price points to find the fur stole for you. You may opt to shop in person if you want to compare the quality of a faux fur stole with a real fur stole. If you’d prefer to buy the fur stole used, check at your local vintage store. Many high-end vintage stores will sell fur stoles in a variety of styles and colors. Vintage fur stoles can be a more affordable option than buying one new. Make sure the fur stole...

TL;DR in English: Choose a real fur stole for a luxurious option. Get a faux fur stole if you are animal-conscious or on a tight budget. Opt for a solid-colored stole if you tend to wear patterns or graphics. Go for a patterned stole if you want a statement piece. Shop for a fur stole new online or in stores. Look for a vintage fur stole at a thrift store.

Since fleece doesn't fray, you can gather it right at the edge for a 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) seam allowance. Remember that this will be on the inside of your robe. Sew down each side on your sewing machine. Pin it into place. If you want to have a robe/blanket, sometimes referred to as a "snuggie," you can leave the back open so that you can wear the robe backwards when you are sitting in a chair or lying on a couch. Cut a piece that is approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide. If 1 piece of side fabric is not long enough, sew 2 pieces together. Test the fleece band around your waist to see if you can wrap it around you and tie it comfortably. Mark a place on the back of each side of your waist with a pin. When you take the robe off you can measure to make sure the pins are at the same height on your robe. Hand sew these loops onto the places where you have attached the pins. This will help to hold your waist band in place when it is not tied. You may want to fold in the edges of the arm holes, neck hole and bottom and sew a hem. You can also do a blanket stitch around all the open sides of the robe in a contrasting thread.

TL;DR in English:


Wear the Parisian knot for a professional look on cold days. Fold the scarf in half. Drape the folded scarf around your neck. Pull the loose ends through the loop. Readjust the knot as desired.

Take sharp scissors and cut the main image you want to use from each T-shirt. The square should be at least 12 inches (30 cm) or larger. For example, if you want to include a list of team names from the back of a shirt, cut a large square from the back. The squares don't need to be completely straight or smooth because you'll be cutting them again later. To stabilize the T-shirt squares, lay your squares face-down on an ironing board. Lay a piece of fusible interfacing over the square and iron it with low heat. This should fuse the interfacing to the back of the T-shirt square. Repeat this for each T-shirt square.  The fusible interfacing will make your T-shirts easier to work with since they'll prevent the knit fabric from stretching or sagging a lot. Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions for specific directions about fusing the interfacing. You'll need to place the bumpy, fusible adhesive side so it faces the fabric.

TL;DR in English: Cut out the center of each shirt into a rough square. Iron fusible interfacing to the back of each T-shirt square.

Collect a variety of soft wrapping materials you can use to pad the TV. These can include bubble wrap, newspaper, and moving blankets. In many cases, you can use materials that you are already going to move, such as blankets, clothes, and other linens. They can pad your TV and get moved in the process, and then you don't have to spend extra money buying additional packing materials. Wrap the TV in the soft packing materials you have found. Once the whole TV is totally wrapped, tape the padding in place. Wrapping the entire TV before taping ensures that the tape does not get on the TV, which could damage the screen. Once you have cushioned the face of the TV, it's a good idea to put a harder layer of protection on top of the cushioning. Use a piece of cardboard or thin plywood to protect the face of the TV. Regardless of whether you have a flat screen TV or another type, you should measure the entire front. Then cut the cardboard to size and tape it on the TV by wrapping tape all the way around it.  If you have a large TV, you may need to use several pieces of cardboard to cover the face of the TV. You can use the cardboard from a flattened moving box or any spare plywood you have around. If you can, construct a makeshift box out of pieces of cardboard. This will protect the TV more effectively than just protecting the front of it. If you haven't put your TV in a secure box, you need to be careful when moving it. Make sure that it is in a very protected spot in your moving truck, such as next to a mattress or other soft surface. You may even want to take the TV and move it in your own car. Taking it in the back seat of your car will help ensure that it gets to its destination safely.

TL;DR in English: Collect soft wrapping materials. Wrap the whole TV in cushioning. Place heavier protection over the face of the TV. Move the TV carefully.

Changing a behavior you have built up overtime takes a lot of time and persistence. Remember that change is a process that is not always linear. Don't be afraid to go back to the beginning and re-assess your behavior. At the same time, don't be hard on yourself if you find yourself unsuccessful on your first attempt. The more you practice and work through your passive aggressive tendencies, the more likely you are to successfully change your behavior. If you find yourself getting off track in your attempts to change passive-aggressive behavior, take a moment to pause and reflect on what is happening. If you want to stop acting passive aggressive, you may be wondering what your other options are. A healthier form of communication is known as “assertive” communication. Assertive communication is a healthy, respectful way to address and confront the person or situation that is causing you to become angry.  It involves speaking your mind when you are angry but maintaining respect for the other people around you. Part of assertive communication is acknowledging that your needs as well as the needs of the other person (or people) involved are important. This takes the focus off of you and shows that you are appreciative of the needs of others. Using “please” and “thank you” can go a long way towards seeming respectful of another. Treat the other party with respect, acknowledging that they have a side to the story as well. Remember to think of any actions you would like the other party to take as requests, not demands.  This will help you word your request appropriately.  It is important that you are specific and that you do your best to stick to the actual facts. While you do want to provide factual information, it is okay to include the way that you feel when you are expressing your anger.  You can emphasize words like “I feel like” or “it makes me feel,” which may help prevent the other party from becoming defensive. Ideally, you and the party to whom you are expressing your feelings can collaborate on a solution...

TL;DR in English: Give yourself time to change. Learn about assertive communication. Emphasize that both parties' needs are important. Use respect when communicating. Be clear and specific with requests. Express your feelings. Seek a solution to the problem. Listen and observe. Accept that conflicts are okay.

Use a formal letterhead if you have one. Otherwise, type your full name and the address of your company or institution at the center top of your cover page.  Include your phone number and your fax number beneath your name and address. Leave at least two blank lines below this header and the rest of the document. The contact information for both you and the receiver should be indicated toward the top of the page. These columns should be double-spaced.  It's a good idea to save your document as a template for future fax use, since the general format will remain the same. The most important quality to your fax cover sheet is that it be clear and easy to read. Each piece of information should be labeled, and each label should be in all capital letters and followed by a colon.  Label the date with "DATE," the receiver's name with "TO," your name with "FROM," and your phone number with "PHONE." In the United States, the date will be written in "Month, Day, Year," while in most other countries, it will be written "Day, Month, Year." Each piece of information should be labeled, and each label should be in all capital letters and followed by a colon.  Label the time with "TIME," the receiver's fax number with "FAX," your fax number with "FAX," and your e-mail address with "EMAIL." Note that the receiver's name and fax number should be placed on the same horizontal line. Likewise, your name and fax number should be placed on a shared horizontal line of their own. Directly below the information in your left column, state the number of pages contained in the fax. Introduce this information with something like, "Number of pages including cover sheet:" Note that this line does not need to be in all capital letters. The message does not need to be more than a few lines. Clearly state the sort of document being faxed and why you are faxing it to the receiver.  If you had previous contact with the receiver concerning this fax, state that information. Introduce your message with the label "MESSAGE:" Below your message, ask the...

TL;DR in English: Provide your name and address in the header. Format the cover sheet in two columns. List the date, receiver's name, sender's name, and sender's phone number in the left column. List the time, both fax numbers, and your e-mail address in the right column. Indicate the number of pages. Include a brief message. Write a disclaimer, if necessary.

Don't give your email out unless you trust the source. While some spam is unfortunately inevitable these days, you can minimize most of it by just keeping your email address private. For example, say that your Tumblr handle is WikiHow15. If your email address is wikihow15@gmail.com, you've basically given the whole world your address. Most spammers actually "test" thousands of guessed emails until they find those that work -- so having differentiated emails and usernames can help keep them at bay. .." box when signing up for sites or deals. This signs your address up for regular, robotically sent emails, notifications, and spam. Unless you really love the site or band, avoid this box at all costs. Check to see if this box is pre-checked for you -- many sites make you opt-out of spam instead of in. One of the best ways to avoid spam is to concentrate it in one account. For example, you might set up an account just to buy things online, and another for personal business. You use the first email whenever you're purchasing or giving out bank information, then keep your personal emails in a more private account. You can give away one account at will, because you only really need it for specific functions.

TL;DR in English: Keep your email address as private as possible. Keep your usernames different from your email addresses. Never check the "Yes, I want to receive more information. Create multiple accounts, or change your email regularly.

Note that you can wear the loose ends of the scarf over your jacket or tucked inside your jacket. The former is more fashion-conscious, while the latter is warmer. This style will keep your neck very warm while also giving you a classy look. Drape the scarf over your forearm and fold it in half lengthwise. Use a scarf that is long and rectangular, as a shorter scarf will not have enough fabric for a Parisian knot. Use your arm to fold the scarf in half in order to create a precisely halved scarf. This type of knot has also been called the European Knot, European Loop, Loop Pull, and Slipknot. Hang the folded scarf off the back of your neck, bringing the loose ends and looped end across your chest. Allow the looped end to sit on your shoulder about chest high. This draping effect should mimic the classic drape style, except for the fact that the scarf is folded in half. Pull the loose end to make a tighter knot, but be careful not to pull too hard. Position the knot in front of your neck and wear the scarf under a coat. Only the loose ends should hang down in front of your chest. Tie the knot tightly around your neck for more warmth. Loosen the knot if you get too warm. Straighten out any twists in the loose ends of the scarf so that the ends lie flat against your chest so that it does not look bulky under your coat. A loose knot creates a more casual, laid back style than a tighter knot will.
