Learn about community events that involve singing. Follow the instructions for auditioning or participating. Research where you might be performing and the type of audience you will have. Perform your audition, if necessary, or sign up for the event. Complete your participation in the event.

Brush your hair so that it's smooth and tangle-free, then gather it into a bun or ponytail. You'll be keeping your hair in this style throughout the day, so make it nice and neat.  Create a mid-high or high bun or ponytail. Don't make a low bun or low ponytail. This method works the best for elastic headbands, but it may also work for silk scarves as well. Like with the first set of bobby pins, make sure that these are pointing down as well. This will keep the headband from riding up on your nape. You can skip this step if you feel that the headband is secure enough.

TL;DR in English: Pull your hair up into a bun or ponytail. Slide 2 more bobby pins through the back of the headband, making an X.

You can make the triangle any size you like. Consider making it large until you become comfortable with drawing prisms. Then, you can try making tiny triangular prisms. You can make any type of triangle you like. Make an equilateral, isosceles, or a right triangle, for instance. Think about how the light is hitting the prism and shade in the other side of the prism until it's dark. For example, if light is hitting the side of the prism, make the front face dark. If you'd like the light to hit the front of the prism, heavily shade in the side.

TL;DR in English: Draw a triangle to make the front of the prism. Shade in 1 side of the triangular prism.

Given the appropriate occasion, such as your birthday or one of the winter holidays, consider having a wish list. It doesn't necessarily need to be a list itself, but know what you're aiming to get. For those of your family or friends who can't help but gift terribly, lay it on thick to them what it is you really want from them. If the desire is really to just avoid the bad gift, make your suggestion something cheap and easily attainable.  "I'm still working through the last CD you gave me. I'm really looking forward to [artist name]'s next release though, should be out before Christmas." "I love those socks you gave me, I wear them around the house all the time. There's these shoes though that I'm really pining after; I think they sell them at [department store name]." For the chronic bad gift-giver in your life, go out of your to find out just what they would like. Don't be afraid to even ask "what would you want to get?" If they try to demure or offer an "anything'll do," press them on it. Everyone always has something in mind, so find out what it is. The hope here is that they'll mirror your effort when it comes to gifting next. If they just won't quit, it might be time to say something before you have a room dedicated to gifts you never wanted. Hopefully you know your gift-giver enough to explain to them without offending them. If not, be prepared for them to become upset even if it's not really justified. Sometime after they've given the gift, pull them aside and tell them honestly "I'm not really sure this gift is for me."  "You know I love music, but this is just really not my style. I'm more into [style of music]." "I can't thank you enough for knitting this for me, but I'm not sure it fits with anything in my wardrobe." "I think I need to be honest: I've never found a way to pair any socks you've given me with anything I own. I can't thank you enough for the gift, but I've no use for any more socks like this."

TL;DR in English: Have a wish list. Make an example of good gifts. Speak plainly.

If you’re sensitive to sweetness, the amount that a recipe calls for may just be too much for you. In that case, feel free to tinker with the recipe and decrease the sugar that’s called for, so the sweetness is more balanced for your palate. For example, if the recipe suggests ¼ cup of sugar, try ⅛ cup instead.  If you’re not sure how to much to decrease the sugar by, start by adding a very small amount, such as a teaspoon, and then taste the dish. Add another teaspoon if it’s not sweet enough. It’s easy to add more sugar, but it’s harder to balance the sweetness once it’s already in the dish. If you're baking, it's obviously harder to taste cookies and cake as you go to adjust the sweetness. Sugar also affects the texture and moistness of baked goods, so you have to be careful when you adjust the amount in a recipe. Using 3/4 of the suggested sugar usually yields the best results, but you may want to make a batch of test cookies or cake to ensure that you're happy with the results. Artificial sweeteners are usually sweeter than traditional white or brown, which means you don’t have to use as much of them in your recipes. That can help you have better control over the sweetness of your food. Sucralose, commonly sold as Splenda, and stevia, commonly sold as Truvia, are ideal for cooking and baking because it’s heat stable.  Sucralose can be substituted for sugar in a 1:1 ratio, which means if your recipe calls for a 1/4 of sugar, you can replace it with a 1/4 of sucralose. Stevia is 200 times sweeter than sugar. Replace each cup of sugar with 1 teaspoon of stevia in your dishes. If the recipe calls for a tablespoon of sugar, an 1/8 of a teaspoon of stevia is all you need. A pinch of stevia can replace a teaspoon of sugar. Some sugar substitutes, such as Equal and Sweet’N Low, don’t react the same way as sugar does when they’re heated. It’s best to avoid them when cooking and baking. It contains natural sugars that can add a subtle sweetness to your dish, as well as antioxidants that are actually good for you....

TL;DR in English: Lessen the amount of sugar. Use a sugar substitute. Substitute maple syrup. Add honey instead. Use agave nectar in place of sugar. Incorporate applesauce in baked goods.

Place the end of the floss on top of your thigh, then wrap the floss once around. You shouldn’t be wrapping it as tightly as possible – use about half of the stretch/tension available in the band. Start overlapping the band as you continue to wrap it around your thigh. You should use an overlap of about 1 in (2.5 cm). If you start to feel any tingling or pain, you’re wrapping too tight. Once you get to the end of floss, you’ll need to secure it so the band doesn’t come loose. Take about 2 in (5.1 cm) of the end of the band and pull it up and then tuck it under the previous strip. Use the leg that’s not wrapped for balance, standing with your knee slightly bent. Then start gently swinging the leg that’s wrapped from the hip. You should feel your hip extending, particularly when you swing forward. Repeat this motion for 15 to 20 reps. Stand so the foot of your anchor leg is slightly behind your hips. Then swing your flossed leg side to side in front of your anchor leg. Your leg should make a 30 to 45-degree angle as it swings out. Repeat this for 30 seconds. Stand with your legs just more than shoulder-width apart. Your feet should be pointing slightly away from center. Then squat so that your knees extend just over your feet and your butt almost touches the floor. Perform 5 to 10 squats, squatting as deeply as you can. Stand with your legs more than shoulder-width apart. Then lunge to the side of the flossed leg. Your feet shouldn’t move – the lunge movement should come from your hips. Perform 5 to 10 reps. You shouldn't use the voodoo floss for longer than 2 minutes at a time. Once you've finished your set, remove the band immediately. If you're looking to increase mobility in both of your hips, wrap your other hip in the floss. Then perform each of the exercises on that hip.

TL;DR in English: Start the voodoo floss just below your hip. Continue wrapping the band down your thigh. Tuck the end of the band under the previous strip. Swing your flossed leg backward and forward. Swing your flossed leg side to side. Perform 5 to 10 squats. Perform a lateral lunge. Remove the band. Repeat the exercises using the voodoo floss on your other hip.

This could include a variety of different events, so be sure to keep up with local news sources about upcoming events in which you could participate.  Middle or high school musicals Collegiate musicals Community theater Local bands Community pageants Karaoke nights State or county fairs Not all of the events listed in Step 1 will require an audition, but you should get all of the information you can about what you need to do to join or participate.  Write down any audition dates or meetings on your calendar. Prepare a song to sing for your audition, if necessary. Practice it daily. Know any requirements that need to be met in order to join, such as being a student at the school or being above a certain age. Attending a karaoke night is quite different from having a role in a musical. While you are preparing, make sure you are aware of the audience that you will have so that you can perform to that audience. Learn about the style of music that the local band plays or the era in which the musical takes place. This will help you to understand what kind of performance you will need put on in your audition, if necessary, and how to cater to the wants and needs of the audition committee. Once you feel you have researched the event or band well enough, you need to complete the audition or sign up for it. If you have to audition, be sure to arrive early and warm up beforehand. Upon your acceptance into the event, you will need to perform your role. Be sure to practice, attend rehearsals, if necessary, and do your best.

TL;DR in English:


Lend a helping hand to your so-called "enemy. Make them help you. Make an effort to have regular conversations. See them outside of your normal hater-habitat, like work or school. Be friendly with their friends.

When enabled, the knob of the switch will move to the right and turn blue. This will allow ES File Explorer to install apps on your phone that aren't from the Google Play Store.

A paleo diet is based on eating foods like meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, and nuts while avoiding foods that contain grains, refined sugars, and processed foods. Cassava flour is a great option if you are on this diet as it replaces the grains found in traditional all-purpose flours. Those with celiac disease or an intolerance from gluten can benefit from using cassava flour. Cassava does not contain gluten, and can be utilized as a replacement in many circumstances. Those with other food allergies like those with allergies to wheat can also utilize cassava flour in recipes. Cassava contains naturally occurring cyanide compounds that make it poisonous to consume in its raw state. The process to create cassava flour detoxifies it of these agents. If you are making the flour from the cassava root, do not consume this raw.  The toxic element in cassava is called linamarin. Cassava poisoning can damage your liver, kidneys, and brain. Cassava flour boasts a variety of health benefits including being high in calories and acting as an excellent source of carbohydrates. Also, cassava flour is completely nut, gluten, and grain free, so it is good for those with nut allergies or celiac disease. Cassava also contains useful nutrients and vitamins including B vitamins and potassium.

TL;DR in English: Try cassava flour if you're on a Paleo diet. Switch to cassava if you have food allergies. Don't eat raw cassava root. Understand the benefits of using cassava flour.

According to the Indiana government, you have to have lived in the precinct where you intend to vote for at least 30 days prior to the election you want to vote in. Although you can register at the start of this 30-day period, note that you’ll have to maintain your residence in the precinct to be able to vote on election day. To clarify, these must be the 30 days immediately before election day, not just any 30-day period in the past. You need to be a U.S. citizen in order to be eligible to vote in Indiana. If you will not meet both of these requirements by election day, you will not be able to register to vote.  Note that a 17-year-old will be able to register to vote in primary elections as long as they will turn 18 by the next general or municipal election. If your 18th birthday falls on election day, this will qualify you to be able to register. This is required if you want to register to vote online. If you don’t have a driver’s license or state ID number, you can also use your Social Security number to register by mail or in person. Make a copy of your license or ID card. If you plan to submit a physical registration form, you’ll need to present this photocopy along with it to prove your Indiana residency. Thus, you can’t register to vote if you’re in prison after being convicted of a crime. However, your right to vote is immediately restored once you get out of prison or are on parole. If you register to vote and then are sent to prison, you’ll have to register to vote again after you’re released.

TL;DR in English: Confirm that you’ll have lived in your precinct for at least a month. Check to make sure you’ll be 18 and a citizen by the time of the election. Have a valid state-issued driver's license or identification (ID) card. Note that you’re not eligible to vote in Indiana if you’re in prison.

Engaging manual mode on your garage door while it’s open may cause it to come crashing closed if the door spring is damaged. Avoid this by setting it to manual mode while the door is closed. If this is impossible because the door is stuck open, move on to the next step. Use 2x4s that are as high as the garage door opening. If you don't have 2x4s that will fit the opening, you can improvise by placing a sturdy item like a shelf in its place. Use a hammer to tap the planks in between the door and the floor on each side of the garage door opening. Using something sturdy to prop up the door will prevent it from slamming shut, even if the garage door spring is damaged. The manual release cord is usually red and located next to the garage door motor. Pull down on this cord to disconnect the trolley from the automatic opening system. Pulling the cord will allow you to manually open and close your garage door. Have someone help you as you manually close the door. Remove the 2x4s by tapping them out with a hammer as someone holds the handle on the door. Once the 2x4s are removed, slowly and carefully lower the garage door to the closed position. Prevent the manual release cord from getting caught on the garage door tracks by pulling it down and towards the motor when you’re opening the door. If you have trouble doing this yourself, ask someone for help. If you want to set the garage door back to automatic mode, you'll need to pull the manual release cord towards the door opening while simultaneously opening the door. Doing this should reconnect the trolley to the automatic opening system and allow you to automatically open and close the door with the button again.

TL;DR in English: Ensure that the door is closed, if possible. Prop the door up with 2x4s if it’s stuck open. Pull down on the door’s manual release cord. Remove the 2x4s and manually close the door if it was stuck open. Pull the cord towards the garage door motor to open the door. Pull the cord towards the door opening when engaging automatic mode.

The tone of the poem can be playful, funny, dark, serious, or mysterious. The title should suit the tone so the reader is set up for the poem properly. Using a playful tone for a poem that is serious or mysterious, for example, can throw off the reader and make it difficult for them to get into the subject matter of the poem.  For example, if the poem is a playful tale about a little girl named Eva and her pet swan, you may use a title like, “Eva’s Pet Swan” or “Eva’s Friend, a Swan.” If the poem is a dark tale about Eva’s difficult relationship with her pet swan, you may use a title like, “The Problem of the Swan” or simply, “Eva and the Swan.” Think about where you were when you wrote the poem. Glance at the time or date when you finish the poem and use it in the title. This can give the poem context without revealing too much about the poem. For example, you may use a title like, “Monday at the Corner Cafe” or “4:44.” Think about any images or events that informed your creation of the poem. Maybe you saw an image in the newspaper that inspired you to write the poem or you had a recent experience that motivated you to sit down and write. Include the image or event in the title to provide the reader with a reference point. For example, if you used a newspaper photo, you may refer to the subject in the photo in the title of the poem. Or if you referred to a recent family dinner you went to to create the poem, you may use a title like, “Sunday Dinner” or “At the Dinner Table.” Another option is to name the form of the poem in the title so the reader knows what to expect. You may include the form if it is a popular one or if it is unique, as this can draw the reader in. For example, if you wrote a sonnet about your dog, you may use a title like “Sonnet About My Dog.” Or if you wrote a sestina about your best friend, you may use a title like, “Best Friend: Sestina.”

TL;DR in English: Select a title that matches the tone of the poem. Create a title using the time, date, or place you wrote the poem. Refer to any images or events that inspired the poem in the title. Use the form of the poem in the title.

" You don't want to -- no one wants to help out a jerk -- but you should. Find ways to be supportive and helpful around this person, in ways that make the most of your own strengths. Just do small things without calling attention to the favor. You're not "winning them back" or courting them, you're just being a good person. Be casual kind: don't make a big deal of it or ask for thanks, just get it done.  If they don't have any lunch at lunch time, offer to give them something of yours. If they make a joke that they and their friends find funny, laugh. If they respond with anger or hatred to your kindness, just walk away. It's a defense mechanism for the hurt and lonely -- not true hatred. Studies show that this is even better than helping the other person out. And you get free labor! Keep the request small and manageable, or honor them with a bigger collaborative task if you're feeling bold. They'll feel good about helping you out, which makes them feel good about you. Its the best kind of reverse psychology, and is the result of something called "cognitive dissonance." Trying to win over someone by harming yourself is pointless. If they're going to screw it up intentionally, then forget them. You'll find plenty of other friends who aren't so cruel. Make the first move in order to fix any broken friendship. Invite them for tea, go see a movie, go on a double date, or just stop by their desk. Get out there and talk to each other. A lot of the time, people only hate others because they don't know or understand them. Granted, the first few conversations will probably be tough, since they "hate" you, but they will melt. Even the hardest hearts want a friend.  "How was your day/weekend?" is the simplest, but most effective token of friendship you can offer, and you can use it anytime, anywhere.  Ask questions about them instead of talking about you. He already hates you, so giving him more of you isn't doing you any favors, right? But people love to talk about themselves. Focus on listening, getting to know where...

Scrape off the majority of the glue. Remove more glue with tape. Choose a removal agent. Apply the cleaner to the adhesive. Clean the area.

After you've completed the initial motion and verbal training process, you can now try to rear with your horse. Make sure to do so in an appropriate setting, with someone watching you in case there is an accident. Also, make sure to lean forward when your horse rears. Leaning backwards could result in you falling off, your horse falling over, and both of you being injured. When you're on your horse, try to use your command. He may not respond, so use leg pressure, tug lightly on the reins, and press hard into the saddle. Continue to say "up" the whole time until he responds. Don't kick or yell at him if he does not respond the way you want him to. When he raises slightly, sit lightly, release the reins, take away your legs, and praise your horse. Reward him with a treat afterword. Also, make sure to use a positive tone when you talk to him. Over time you'll be able to perfect how your horse rears, how high, and when. Again, you need to be patient in this process and work with your horse as a member of your team. Don't show your frustration, and never take it out on your horse.

TL;DR in English: Ride your horse and rear. Use the same "up" cue when riding. Release pressure when your horse raises slightly. Continue this process until he gets confident, and rears on cue.

Make sure the soil is kept moist, but not soggy. The tubers will rot in soggy soil. To help keep the right level of soil moisture, mulch around the plants after you have planted them. Use potash and phosphorus as well as a 5-10-10 fertilizer monthly to ensure optimum growth. If you live in a region where the temperature drops below 70 degrees in the winter, dig up the caladium tubers. Replant them when the soil is warm again. If your caladium is in a container, simply bring it inside for the winter. Caladiums do well as house plants. Be sure they get some sunlight during the day. Fertilize every few weeks with a liquid fertilizer.  When your plant begins to die back, but before the first frost, dig up the tuber and discard the wilted leaves. Let the tubers dry out for a few days and then store them with dry peat moss in a box or paper bag in a dark cool place for the winter. Throw out any soft or empty feeling tubers. Plant when the soil is warm and ready for your caladiums to grow well.

TL;DR in English: Keep caladiums well watered. Fertilize caladiums periodically. Overwinter your caladiums.

. If you want a friendship to work out with this person, then you will need to identify what behaviors you will and will not tolerate. Then, make these boundaries known to the person. Make sure to be honest with yourself about what your boundaries are and be direct with the person when you communicate with them. For example, if you are not willing to tolerate mean comments from this person, then say something like, “If you make negative comments about my appearance, then I am going to leave and we can’t continue our conversation.” If the person violates the boundary, then make sure you follow through with your consequence. For example, if you have said you will leave if the person makes mean comments about your appearance, and they do so, then get up and leave! Make sure that the person knows that they have violated a boundary any time that they do so. It’s best to keep the “enemy” part of your friendship to yourself. It can be really tempting to share all of your negative thoughts with friends, but you don’t want to sink to your frenemy’s level. If the goal is to keep things running smoothly, gossiping will ruin that by stirring things up. This will also keep your frenemy from getting between you and your true friends. By observing the frenemy’s trash talking as well as your lack of it, your true friends will see you more clearly as the trustworthy one. Do your best not to react emotionally when facing a frustrating challenge involving your frenemy. Your frenemy will most likely find satisfaction in getting a rise out of you, so it’s best to keep a cool head and act like nothing’s bothering you. Turning the other cheek will also make you appear more kind to you and your frenemy’s mutual friends. Counter the negative things that your frenemy says and does to keep problems from developing.  If you know your frenemy always bails on the plans you make together, always have a back-up plan. If your frenemy has a passionate view of religion that you disagree with, consider steering clear of that subject while...

TL;DR in English: Set and maintain your boundaries Don’t gossip about your frenemy. Stay calm, cool, and collected. Don’t let yourself be affected by their negativity. Put yourself in your frenemy’s shoes.

After a few days, depending on your pain level, it should be safe to do some exercises while laying on the floor or bed. Regular exercise to restore your knee mobility and strength is necessary, and for the most part, it can be carried out at home. Your orthopedic surgeon may recommend that you exercise your leg for approximately 20-30 minutes, 2-3x daily. Start with muscle contractions around the knee without actually flexing the knee joint very much.  Contract your hamstring muscles: lay down or sit with your knees bent to about 10 degrees or so; pull your heel against the floor, tightening the muscles in the back of your thigh as you do so; hold for 5 seconds, then relax; repeat 10x.  Contract your quadricep muscles: lay on your stomach with a towel rolled under the ankle of your recuperating knee; push your ankle down against the towel roll — your leg should straighten out as much as possible; hold for 5 seconds, then relax; repeat 10x. Once you've lightly worked the muscles surrounding the knee with isometric contractions, try some weight bearing ones while standing. As you increase the intensity of your exercising, you may experience some temporary setbacks —  if your knee swells up or starts to ache after a particular exercise, stop the activity until your knee settles down.   Partial squat while holding onto a chair: hold onto the back of a sturdy chair or countertop with your feet 6-12 inches from the chair or counter. Do not bend all the way down. Keep your back straight and hold for 5-10 seconds. Slowly come back up, relax and repeat 10x.  Standing quadriceps (thigh muscle) stretch: standing with your recuperating knee bent, gently pull your heel toward your butt muscles, which should create a stretch in the front of your leg (thigh). Hold for 5 seconds, relax and repeat 10x.  Forward step-ups: step forward and up onto a 6-inch stool, leading with your recuperating leg. Step back down and then repeat 10x. Increase the height of the stool or platform as your leg strength increases. The final phase...

TL;DR in English: Start with non-weight-bearing exercise. Progress to weight bearing exercise. Progress to weight resistance exercise.

To start, use a credit card, utility knife, ruler, or plastic scraper to gently peel away large chunks of paper and glue that have been left on the surface. Hold the scraper at a 45-degree angle to the surface as you work.  As you scrape and peel, stop intermittently to clean the edge of the scraper. Be careful using a sharp scraper since it could leave scratches on your surface. Take a strip of heavy-duty tape, such as duct tape, and wrap it around your index and middle fingers with the sticky side facing out (away from your fingers). Press the tape firmly against the adhesive, and then quickly pull your fingers away to rip the tape off. Repeat with different sections of the tape to remove as much leftover residue as possible. Skip this step if you are trying to remove adhesive from a delicate surface like paper or books. To tackle any remaining sticky residue, you will need an oil-based substance, alcohol-based substance, or solvent. An oil-based product will help lubricate the surface of the adhesive and work to remove it, an alcohol-based product will dry out the adhesive, and a solvent will work to dissolve the glue. Alcohol and Goo Gone have had the most success removing adhesive residues, but if you try one product and it doesn’t work, don’t be afraid to try another. Other popular products include:  Cleaning products, such as Windex, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, furniture polish, vinegar, or PVC pipe cleaner Beauty products, such as nail polish remover, toothpaste, hand lotion, hair spray, mineral oil, perfume, non-acetone nail polish, and aftershave Oil-based foods, such as margarine, cooking spray, peanut butter, and mayonnaise Eucalyptus oil, tea tree oil, and vegetable oil Household products such as kerosene, paint thinner, petroleum jelly, and lighter fluid For paper products, books, or walls, you will need a pencil or art gum eraser Using a clean cloth, cotton ball, or paper towel, apply your removal agent of choice to the affected area. Let the cloth and cleaning agent sit on the adhesive for five to...

Remove the sharp edges to create a curved body for your car. Draw 2 curved rectangles in the cab to create windows. Add details to the windows and frame of the cab. Draw 2 circles along the bottom of the large rectangle. Add headlights and tail lights at the front and rear of the car's body. Fill in details that are unique to the car. Erase excess lines and color in your drawing if you like. Finished.

Position one rack on the second-to-bottom rack ledge in your oven and remove any of the racks above it.  You must change the position of the racks to ensure that the bag will have room to expand as it cooks. The bag must not touch the top or sides of the oven; if it does, the plastic will melt.  Pull out your roasting pan, too. The pan must be at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep and large enough to prevent the bag from hanging over the sides. Remove the turkey from its plastic or paper wrappings, then reach into the cavity and pull out the neck and giblets (liver, heart, and gizzard).  To prevent possible contamination, keep the turkey in a clean sink as you remove the giblets. The giblets will usually be held together in a small bag, and both the neck and giblets should be fairly easy to remove from a thawed turkey. Discard the neck and giblets or save them to make turkey gravy, stock, or other similar recipes. Rinse the entire turkey with cool, running water. Clean both the outer skin and the interior cavity. Pat the newly cleaned turkey dry using clean paper towels. Immediately discard these paper towels; do not reuse for any other purpose. You can cook both stuffed and unstuffed turkey using this method. If you want to stuff the turkey, loosely pack the prepared stuffing into the cavity now.  After packing in the stuffing, secure it by inserting a skewer through the ends of the open turkey cavity. Note that stuffing the turkey will increase the overall cooking time. If you want to have both stuffing and a shorter cooking time, your best option is to cook the stuffing and turkey separately. Place the turkey on a large baking sheet and use cotton cooking twine to tie the legs and wings down against the body of the turkey.  Tie the twine firmly, but do not make it tight enough to dig into the flesh of the bird. If you tie it too tight, the twine will leave marks in the skin even after the turkey is finished cooking. Check the skin near the legs before tying them down. If there's a band of loose skin there, you can...

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Remove the neck and giblets. Rinse the turkey. Stuff the turkey, if desired. Tie down the legs and wings. Brush the turkey with butter. Rub in the seasonings.

This is because light attracts flying termites, especially during the night. Also look for swarming near windows and doors. If you see a large congregation of termites in the air, then the termites are exhibiting swarming behavior. Swarming can occur during the day or night.  Swarming generally occurs in the spring months, i.e., March, April, May, and June. If you happen to see a termite fly out from under your porch, patio, or foundation, then this is a sure sign of an infestation. Termites will shed their wings when they enter the next stage of their development. This usually occurs after the swarming period. In an infested home, you can often find piles of wings that have been shed by flying termites. Shed wings look similar to tiny fish scales. Also called frass, termite droppings are ridged and small. They look like small, wood colored pellets. Oftentimes, you can find piles of feces near the openings of tunnels, as well as where they have eaten or nested.  Only certain species of termites will leave feces behind. Sweep up the feces and dispose of it. Check the spot daily to see if more fecal pellets appear. If they do, then this is a sure sign that you have an infestation.

TL;DR in English: Look for swarming near lights. Observe piles of wings. Look for piles of feces.

Virgo (along with Taurus and Capricorn) are Earth signs. This means, generally, that they're very stable and resistant to change. Like the Earth! They are sturdy in their ways and know what they want and need. They're usually slow to open -- but once they do, it's permanent. Virgo is a mutable sign, meaning that these characteristics aren't tried-and-true. But if you want to place 'em all in one category, you'll find that they're generally solid people -- grounded, have a foundation upon which they build everything (thought or planning), and at their best when they're balanced. Virgos are often caught up in their heads. Because of this, they can get a little out of touch with reality, resulting in an unconscious tendency toward insecurity. When this time pops up, he may need reassurance. When he's acting inhibited with you, let him know that that's unneeded (not with your words, necessarily). Be overly welcoming. He may need that extra push. Take this and value it. Instead of wishing he were more open and confident, realize that this quality makes him down-to-earth, modest, loyal, and way less of a showy megalomaniac than the sign that precedes him, Leo. This sense of insecurity that flares up on occasion can be a relief! Because he notices every little detail, many people can think of him as a know-it-all. He takes one look at your pie charts and tells you they're 1% off. Not only does he notice it, but he says something about it too. This can be irksome if you don't realize he's just trying to make everything the best it can be. And why shouldn't it be? The good thing about Virgo is that if you know your stuff too, he can take it! He is open to debate and loves talking about things he's learned and experienced. So the next time your Virgo corrects you on something, don't hesitate to say, "No! I did it this way on purpose!" and explain why. Virgo, as described earlier, doesn't jump to anything -- from relationships to conclusions. He needs to plan everything out -- how else would he know if it's perfect and,...

TL;DR in English: Know that he's an Earth sign. Know that he may need reassurance. Don't think of him as a know-it-all. Understand his hesitancy to act. Know he's more practical than poetic.

They will let you know whether your claim has been approved, the amount of benefits you will receive, and when you can expect to receive your first check. For all types of social security claims, you will receive benefits dating back to the date you first applied. Though social security claims can take up to six months to evaluate, you will receive payment for the time you waited.  If your claim for any Social Security benefits is denied, the written notice of denial will state why you were denied. If you are denied, you have the opportunity to appeal. The appeals process requires you to follow four major steps. The first you can take is to file a request for reconsideration.  You must fill out a Request for Reconsideration form. It is available online from the Social Security website (link below).  As you fill out the form, you must provide your name as it appears on your social security card, your social security claim number (which should be listed on the claim decision), your address, and the type of claim that you want them to reconsider (retirement, disability, etc.). You must state the reasons why you do not agree with the denial of benefits. Here, you should briefly state why you think it is unfair that you did not receive benefits. You do not need to go into great detail because the Social Security Administration has your file. Along with your Request for Reconsideration form, you may submit a form called a Disability Report - Appeal (link below). This will explain any changes in your condition since you filed your original claim for benefits. This form is not required. . After you send in your form, you will receive another decision from the SSA in the mail. You can also call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 to check the status of your claim. The hearing will be heard in front of an administrative law judge who is not associated with the Social Security Administration.  You must file a “Request for Hearing by Administrative Law Judge” within 65 days of the denial of your...

TL;DR in English: The Social Security Administration will notify you of their decision in writing. Ask for your case to be reconsidered. If Social Security denies your claim again after reconsidering it, you may request a formal administrative hearing. File a written appeal with the SSA Appeals Council. File a lawsuit against the SSA.

Take a sharp pencil and lightly draw a long, narrow rectangle on your paper. You don't need to make the rectangle 3-dimensional unless you'd like to draw the car in 2 point perspective.  The width of the rectangle will depend on how big you want to make your car drawing. Don't press too hard while you make the main shapes for the car since you'll need to go back and erase some of these lines. Since this will be the cab of the car, you can make it any size you like. You can also decide if you'd like it to be centered, as if you're drawing a standard sedan, or positioned near the rear of the car. The top rectangle should be touching the bottom rectangle.  Pay attention to the overall shape of the car. Some mini or compact cars appear boxier, so make their top rectangles large. Most sports cars look aerodynamic, so draw a narrower rectangle that doesn't stick out as much. Smaller cars or hatchbacks often have the cabs placed closer to the rear. To prevent your car from looking too boxy, lightly draw the outline of the car over the rectangles you made so they look like the outline of the car. Try to make the frame of the car appear smooth from the rear bumper to the top of the cab and down the hood to the front bumper. Keep in mind that some SUVs, trucks, or sports cars might have sharper angles. Erase the sharp edges so you just see your outline. Your car should now have a basic outline that matches its style. For example, a hatchback will have a noticeable curve jutting from the back while a sports car will look sleek and low to the ground. Most cars have 2 windows, so you'll need to draw the outline of both the windows inside the cab. Then, draw a vertical line in the middle to separate the 2 windows. If you're drawing a sports car, it may only have 1 slim window so avoid drawing the vertical line in the middle of it. Draw 2 thin vertical lines next to the line you made for the windows to make them look more realistic. You could also curve the back of the window where it meets the rear frame. Some cars have a...

A coarse sugar scrub can irritate and even tear sensitive skin. Smaller sugar granules are gentler and less abrasive.  Brown sugar is one of the softest sugars and works well on your face and body.  Turbinado sugar (also known as raw sugar) tends to have larger particles so if you see it as an ingredient, be aware that it’s a rougher scrub. While sugar is naturally a humectant (meaning it locks in moisture), some scrubs are more moisturizing than others. Choose one with skin-replenishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, coconut or avocado oil, glycerin, or essential oils if your skin is prone to dehydration. Look for scrubs that include essential oils to match your needs. For example, if you're stressed out, a lavender scent is calming. And if you're feeling fatigued, lemon or peppermint scents are energizing. Other popular aromatherapy scents include eucalyptus for clearing your sinuses, patchouli for soothing anxiety, and rosemary for increasing concentration. Using basic ingredients from your pantry like olive oil, honey, and brown sugar, you can DIY a sugar scrub at home. Whipping up your own sugar scrub means you can control exactly what goes in it, thus avoiding any chemicals or additives that could be harmful to you or the environment.

TL;DR in English: Look for a scrub with fine particles. Pick a hydrating scrub if you have very dry skin. Select a scent based on aromatherapy properties. Make your own sugar scrub if you're on a budget.

Refer to the space station appearances chart you found in the last section. It should have a column labeled with one of the following: "where to look," "appears," "azimuth," or "Az." Look at the contents of this column to find out the general area of the sky the space station will appear in:  Look N(orth), E(ast), S(outh), or W(est) according to the letter or word listed in that column. The chart may give you a more specific instruction between one of these four directions. For instance, NW (northwest) means halfway between North and West. NNW (north-northwest) means halfway between North and Northwest.  Read about using a compass if you are not sure how to find a direction. The same chart should have a column labeled "altitude," with numbers listed below as "degrees" (or the degree symbol, º). Astronomers divide the sky into many segments called degrees, so they can refer to a specific position in the sky. A position of 0º is at the horizon, 90º is directly above your head, and 45º is exactly in between 0º and 90º. To find rough positions in between these numbers, extend your arm fully in front of you and close your hand into a fist. The distance from the horizon to the top of your first is roughly 10º. If you are looking for 20º, for example, place your fist just above the horizon, then place your other fist on top of the first. The point above your second fist is about 20º. Keep alternating fists to find positions at higher degrees. It may seem strange that the space station suddenly "appears" in the middle of the sky, instead of coming around the horizon. This can happen because the space station is only visible when light from the sun is reflecting off it. When the space station moves out of the earth's shadow, it suddenly becomes visible. It may also not be visible near sunrise or sunset until it has moved high enough in the sky to escape the bright background of the sun's glow. At the time specified on the star chart, look for the space station at the direction and height you found in the earlier...

TL;DR in English: Find the position of the space station on a satellite chart. Know how high to look. Look for the space station at this position. Use binoculars only if necessary.

.  Include all the baby basics such as sleepwear, one piece undershirts, socks, hats and bibs. The more basics you have on hand, the less laundry you’ll be doing. Consider mix and match interchangeable outfits. Twins don’t always have to be dressed alike; their wardrobe will seem larger if you have a wide variety of items to choose from. . Go to a popular department store, baby specialty store or online merchant and generate a registry.  This will make it easy for family and friends to shop for your babies when they arrive. This is especially helpful if you are trying to stay within a budget. Nearly new baby gear is usually just as good as brand new items in the stores. . One of the greatest challenges of having twins is getting out and about with them. There are many strollers on the market geared for twins, some more practical than others.  Be sure to go to your local department store and try them out. Try pushing a few different double strollers around the store; you will quickly realize they are not all created equal.  Decide which one best suits you and your traveling needs. Go to your local warehouse store and buy diapers and wipes in bulk. It is estimated that twins will go through 140 diapers a week.  Buying in bulk will save you a great deal of money and lessen your time spend at the store.

TL;DR in English: Purchase a basic layette Create a gift registry Consider borrowing baby items whenever possible. Purchase a stroller Stockpile diapers.

With enough practice and vocal strength, you should be able to shatter a glass from a more comfortable distance. Most normal people, however, will have difficulty sustaining the volume necessary for breaking a glass. Being very close will focus your sound energy and give you the best chance possible of making it break. To check just how loud you are singing, you might want to download a sound measuring app from the app store on your phone or buy a sound level meter from an online retailer. If you notice that, even at your loudest, you're nowhere close to the 100 - 110 decibel range, you might want to consider using a microphone. Begin singing the resonant tone at a normal speaking volume. Listen carefully to the sound of your voice. Does it sound sharp (above the resonant pitch) or flat (below the resonant pitch)? If so, make slight adjustments to your tone. When you are confident that you are singing the pitch perfectly, slowly increase your singing volume into you are singing as loudly as you can.  If you feel discomfort, pain, or notice a significant change in the quality of your voice, you may be straining your voice by singing too loudly or too long. To prevent permanent damage, you should stop immediately, drink some water. Hold off singing until your voice is back to normal.  Vowel sounds will be less obstructed, enabling you to achieve higher volumes. In particular, the "ee" vowel sound has the highest volume rating. The vowel “ay” is also rated very highly for volume. Sustain your note as long as possible while making slight adjustments. Even if you hit the resonant frequency dead-on, you’ll have to hold the pitch perfectly for a few seconds before the glass vibrates enough to shatter. More likely you’ll have to “slide” your voice slightly up and down and make slight adjustments to match the resonant pitch. Some glasses will have more microscopic imperfections than others. More imperfections in the glass means you’ll have a better chance of causing it to shatter. By rotating between several different...

TL;DR in English: Place your mouth close to the glass. Sing the resonant frequency pitch. Attempt shattering different glasses. Dispose of the broken glass carefully

Training a dog to be a service dog takes time, so let your dog learn at its own pace. If you get frustrated, then the dog will begin to dread its training sessions. Try to work with the dog for 10-15 minutes at a time to reduce stress on both of you.  It’s okay to do more than 1 training session a day, though no more than 3 sessions per day are recommended. Try to use this time to bond more with your dog. There is no maximum age, so an older dog can become a great service dog if it has the right disposition. If you don’t know your dog’s age, ask a vet to help estimate it. Keep your dog’s age in mind when considering the tasks you want it to perform. For example, a young dog may be more active than you’d like, and an old dog may be less strong. More training than necessary is best, but the minimum requirement to get a dog certified is 120 hours of training over at least a 6 month period. Of those hours, 30 must involve taking the dog in public. Train your dog in short sessions spread over time, and expect to do refresher trainings.  You must use positive, non-aggressive training methods in order to certify your dog, so don’t use fear to teach your dog.  Stop a training session if the dog gets frustrated or tired, as continuing could make the dog resist training. Remember that the amount of training the dog receives is not what’s most important. The dog must also be able to do the skills required of a service dog. Training a service dog takes a lot of work, and a professional may be the answer. You can find an accredited trainer by speaking with your dog’s vet or by searching online in your area.

TL;DR in English: Be patient with your pup. Begin training at 6 months old at the earliest. Train your dog for at least 120 hours over a minimum of 6 months. Consider professional training.

Use warm water and a washcloth to soften the hair on your stomach for a few minutes. This will prepare the hair for easy shaving.  You can also take a quick shower instead of just washing your stomach if you prefer. You'll want to shave soon after washing.  Wet skin is easier to shave and will result in less cuts. Apply the shaving gel evenly across the hair-covered areas of your stomach. Pull the razor gently across the affected areas of your stomach. Shave first with the grain of the hair. Then run the razor against the grain. Rinse the razor with warm water in-between each stroke. It is recommend that you use a good quality, new razor. If you find yourself having to use pressure when dragging the razor over your skin, it is probably too old and needs to be replaced. Wash off any remaining shaving gel and loose hair with warm water. Dry your stomach off with a towel and then apply some moisturizing lotion.

TL;DR in English:


Know the units of measurement. Read the capacitance value. Look for a tolerance value. Check the voltage rating. Look for a + or - sign.

Don’t be afraid to try something different during your family time.  In addition to encouraging suggestions from your kids and partner, you should be flexible and willing to do something totally different if your family wants to switch things up a bit.  The more fun everyone has, the more likely they will be to make family time a centerpiece in their own lives. You probably already have an idea of what your family enjoys.  But hobbies and tastes change over time, and your kids or partner might have a new hobby that you could all enjoy as a family.  Maybe there are even some things your kids or partner would like to do but haven’t had the opportunity to try yet. You could ask your family, “What would you like to do during our scheduled family time?” Your family is interested in what you have to say.  You should feel that you can offer suggestions for family time activities, too.  But don’t foist your choices on others.   Ensure that you and your family have a pleasant conversation about possible options, and arrive at a consensus afterwards.  You might suggest:  Going to the park (For instance, you could ask your family, “How about going to the park?”) Taking a walk (For instance, you could ask your family, “Would you like to take a walk?”) Playing a game (For instance, you could ask your family, “Does anyone want to play a game?”) Canoeing (For instance, you could ask your family, “How about taking the canoe up the river?”) Hiking (For instance, you could ask your family, “How about hiking in the woods?”) Visiting a local museum (For instance, you could say, “There’s a new exhibit at the museum.  Let’s see it together.”) Don’t get stuck inside.  Spending family time inside watching movies and playing games has its place.  But, weather permitting, you should head outside and enjoy a walk, bike ride, or other outdoor activity with your family.  For instance, you and your family might enjoy:  Swimming at the lake Mountain climbing Parasailing Hang-gliding Spelunking Stay in bed for a bit longer instead of waking...

TL;DR in English: Encourage spontaneity. Find out what your family likes to do. Offer suggestions to your family. Try outdoor activities. Enjoy lazy mornings together.

The Waterlox Original Sealer should be used as a basecoat for every stain job you do. After, if you want a medium semi-gloss sheen, you can add more coats of this finish to achieve the desired effect. This produces a 75º gloss level immediately after finishing, which will fade to a 50-55º gloss level over the first few months after application. The gloss level is the measurement of paint sheen (how shiny/glossy the paint will be) once it’s dried. This finish should be used only as a last topcoat of stain, on top of several basecoats of the Waterlox Original Sealer/Finish. It will provide a lower gloss level compared to the other finishes available. This finish produces a 20-25º gloss level. Apply this finish as a final topcoat over several coats of Waterlox Original Sealer/Finish. This will give your wood surface a shiny, high-gloss look. This product produces an 85º gloss level with a shiny appearance.

TL;DR in English: Pick Waterlox Original Sealer/Finish for a basecoat and a medium sheen. Choose Waterlox Original Satin Finish for a lower sheen finish. Try Waterlox Original High Gloss Finish for a more glossy finish.

Most people move around during the night to find a more comfortable position. Try moving from your back to your side. If you know you have a position that you usually favor when you’re sleeping, stick with that. You want your pretend sleeping to emulate your real sleeping. Don’t do a big, growly snore, or you’ll give yourself away, but some soft snoring can’t hurt. If you know you never snore, don’t start now. A person observing you will be able to pick up on the fact that something is different. If you’ve been known to occasionally talk in your sleep, why not really hit the ball out of the park and mumble a couple of words? People who sleep talk are not aware that they’re talking, and often will say things that don’t make sense. You can have fun being creative with your sleep talking! Say something absurd, like, “I forgot to take the potatoes down to the river!”

TL;DR in English: Occasionally shift positions. Snore slightly. Sleep talk.

Being physically active can lower your blood pressure by helping to control your weight and manage stress.  For the best results try to do 75–150 minutes of physical activity per week. You can choose what you like to do best. Great options include walking, running, dancing, biking, swimming, and playing sports such as basketball or soccer. Do strength training, such as weight lifting, twice a week to maintain bone density and build muscle. Alcohol abuse is bad for your heart. Also, alcoholic beverages are high in calories and make you more prone to obesity. You can lower your blood pressure by quitting drinking or drinking only in moderation.  Men over 65 and women should limit themselves to, at most, one drink per day. Men under 65 should have no more than two drinks per day. A 12 oz beer, 5 oz glass of wine, or 1.5 oz of hard liquor qualifies as a drink. Using tobacco can harden your arteries and cause them to become narrower, which will increase your blood pressure. Secondhand smoke also causes these effects. There are many resources available to help you quit smoking:  Talking to your doctor or seeing a counselor Joining support groups or calling hotlines Using medications or nicotine replacement therapy If you think your medications might be causing high blood pressure, consult your doctor. Your doctor may be able to help you find a medication that is more suitable for you. Don’t stop taking your medications without clearing it with your doctor first. The following substances and medications may increase blood pressure:  Cocaine, crystal methamphetamines, and amphetamines Some birth control pills Some decongestants and cold medications Over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Ibuprofen and others) While stress is an unavoidable part of life, you can use relaxation techniques to help you deal with it better. Common techniques include:  Yoga Meditation  Music or art therapy  Deep Breathing Visualizing calming images Progressively tensing and relaxing each muscle group in your body

TL;DR in English: Exercise. Reduce your alcohol intake. Don’t smoke or chew tobacco. Evaluate your medications and don’t use street drugs. Reduce your stress.

Place your drawing face down on the scanner. Close the scanner and then start the scan. Name the file once it's finished scanning and save it as a .PNG or .JPEG for the highest quality. GIMP is good for beginners since it is free to download. It's probably not a good idea to use Microsoft Paint because of its limited features and hard to view canvas. A lot of people use Adobe Photoshop for making digital art. If you do not have a scanner, you can make your sketch directly in the program you're going to use. Plug the tablet into the computer using the cable that came with the tablet, and follow the instructions with the tablet to install the software. Open the program you chose to draw with, and connect your tablet. Then create a new file, and start sketching.

TL;DR in English: Scan your drawing. Open the file in whatever program you want to use. Alternatively, sketch directly in the art program you're using.

The base unit of capacitance is the farad (F). This value is much too large for ordinary circuits, so household capacitors are labeled with one of the following units:  1 µF, uF, or mF = 1 microfarad = 10-6 farads. (Careful — in other contexts, mF is the official abbreviation for millifarads, or 10-3 farads.) 1 nF = 1 nanofarad = 10-9 farads. 1 pF, mmF, or uuF = 1 picofarad = 1 micromicrofarad = 10-12 farads. Most large capacitors have a capacitance value written on the side. Slight variations are common, so look for the value that most closely matches the units above. You may need to adjust for the following:  Ignore capital letters in the units. For example, "MF" is just a variation on "mf." (It is definitely not a megafarad, even though this is the official SI abbreviation.) Don't get thrown by "fd." This is just another abbreviation for farad. For example, "mmfd" is the same as "mmf." Beware single-letter markings such as "475m," usually found on smaller capacitors.See below for instructions. Some capacitors list a tolerance, or the maximum expected range in capacitance compared to its listed value. This isn't important in all circuits, but you may need to pay attention to this if you require a precise capacitor value. For example, a capacitor labeled "6000uF +50%/-70%" could actually have a capacitance as high as 6000uF + (6000 * 0.5) = 9000uF, or as low as 6000 uF - (6000uF * 0.7) = 1800uF. If there is no percentage listed, look for a single letter after the capacitance value or on its own line. This may be code for a tolerance value, described below. If there is room on the body of the capacitor, the manufacturer usually lists voltage as a number followed by a V, VDC, VDCW, or WV (for "Working Voltage"). This is the maximum voltage the capacitor is designed to handle.  1 kV = 1,000 volts.  See below if you suspect your capacitor uses a code for voltage (a single letter or one digit and one letter). If there is no symbol at all, reserve the cap for low-voltage circuits only. If you are building an AC...

Even if it's usually guys that ask the girl out, you shouldn't wait around for him to ask you. Take the initiative yourself and surprise him with your confidence. Although it helps to have a solid chemistry with the guy before asking him out anywhere, don't hesitate to ask Because a movie date is so casual, it's perfectly fine to ask him out via electronic communication like text or private messaging. Before you ask out the guy in question, you should take a moment to consider what your offer will entail. An open-ended offer like "Want to go to the movies sometime?" carries a different implication than asking someone to go to a specific movie. While an open-ended offer is less interesting than something specific, it's a bolder way of letting someone know you're specifically interested in spending more time with them. If you're nervous about asking the guy to a movie, if helps to bring up the movie first. That way, not only will he be more excited to go see the movie, you'll also have a natural way of guiding the conversation into asking about it.   The plot, starring case, director or genre are all things you might bring up while you're describing a movie. Positive reviews will help your case. If the two of you have a twisted sense of humour, you may even want to go to a film with abysmal reviews. You may even bond over how terrible the movie was. A movie date is a casual outing, so the way you go about asking should be treated in much the same way. Be kind and easygoing when you ask. Asking someone on a movie date should never be elaborate or overly complex. Most people love going to the movies, so chances are he'll say yes so long as you don't try to force an answer out of him. Say something like "Hey, would you like to see that movie tomorrow at 8? It's an action flick, and it's gotten good reviews." There's a chance your original idea of a film date will end up encompassing a group. Although you would think this will take away from the romantic appeal, you can still have an intimate experience with...

TL;DR in English: Take the initiative. Decide whether your offer should be open-ended or specific. Pitch the movie to him before asking. Keep it casual. Be open to going in a group.

Learning the basic facts about an organization is an important first step to conducting an accurate and thorough investigation. You should begin your search by reading what the company writes about itself.  A nonprofit’s own website is a good place to start gathering information. Nonprofit websites generally provide extensive background information on the charity and its programs, as well as financial summaries and tax filing information. Contact the organization directly and request written information on its charitable activities and finances. Reputable charities already have this type of information prepared and ready to send out. Secretaries of State, Departments of State, Attorney Generals, or Consumer Services Departments may have important information on a nonprofit organization. Government agencies maintain information for nonprofits that registered to do business in the state, are required to register as a charity under state law, or  became a legal entity, such as an LLC, in a particular state. Many of these government agencies offer searchable databases for consumers to obtain information on registered business entities and/or nonprofits. For a list of state-by-state searchable databases for corporations and secretary of state websites visit: http://www.coordinatedlegal.com/SecretaryOfState.html The National Directory of Nonprofit Organizations (NDNO) provides information on nonprofits with annual incomes of at least $25,000. You can usually find a copy of the NDNO at your local library. By searching the NDNO you may be able to determine the following information:  The name, mailing address, and phone number (when available) of the company; The company’s IRS filing status, including the IRS nonprofit category.

Make sure the edges are lined up and pinned before you begin stitching. You are making a mini-version of the main blanket, only without the batting.  One side of the rectangle should still be open so you can flip the fabric right-side out. Snip off the corners with scissors. This gives your pocket nice, sharp edges. Again, reach into the opening and use a pencil to push out the corners.  Press the fabric with a warm iron, locking the stitches and smoothing out any wrinkles. Fold the open side of the rectangle so its is even with the edge of the rest of the pillow pocket. Use the iron to crease the fold and pin the opening closed. You will be sewing these edges later, when you attach them to the large blanket.

TL;DR in English: Fold the 1⁄2 yard (0.5 m) fabric in half, right sides facing each other, and stitch the long edges of the rectangle together with a 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) seam. Turn the blanket right-side out through the open side of the pillow pocket. Sew a 1/4 inch seam to close the open edge only; do not stitch the way around the pocket.

While still being researched, usage of these herbs may increase hemoglobin levels. They are used in ayurvedic medicine to treat iron deficiency anemia. Talk to your doctor about these supplements and how much is appropriate for you. Avoid using it while pregnant. Nettle leaf is an herb that can be a rich source of iron and is customarily used to treat arthritis. Iron plays an important role in producing and absorbing hemoglobin. The more iron you take, the more hemoglobin will be produced. Nettle leaf is available in many vitamin and supplement stores and online. It is available as an oil, in capsule form, and even as a tea. While results are mixed on its effectiveness, some studies reveal that the consumption of dong quai can restore hemoglobin levels to a nearly normal range. It is traditionally utilized to treat premenstrual syndrome (PMS), menstrual symptoms, menstrual cramps, constipation and anemia. The cobalt in dong quai is thought to increase the hemoglobin content of your blood. Dong quai is mostly available in capsule form, though it can also be used as an oil you can mix into your drinks. It is available at supplement stores, some pharmacies, and online. Studies demonstrate that patients with kidney failure that were given 45 mg of chitosan showed relatively reduced cholesterol levels and increased hemoglobin levels. Talk to your doctor about this natural remedy and if it's right for you. Chitosan is available online and in special vitamin supplement stores. For the record, it's pronounced KITE-uh-san.

TL;DR in English: Use withania and ashwagandha supplements to boost hemoglobin levels. Take nettle leaf to get a rich source of iron. Try dong quai supplements. Consider trying chitosan.

Spa baskets need to have a “clean” appearance, and the use of a metal or plastic basket can accomplish that more effectively than a traditional wicker or wooden basket. Metal and plastic won't absorb moisture, so the recipient should be able to carry the entire packed basket into the bathroom without worry. If you aren't sure where to get a metal or plastic basket, try looking in a home goods store for a shower caddy. Choose one with very few compartments, though, since it can be difficult to fill if there are too many small sections. The recipient should have everything he or she needs to enjoy a relaxing “spa day” at home. As such, you should include a variety of both common and uncommon bath products.  Common bath products include anything that most people regularly stock in their bathrooms: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, and face wash. Uncommon, luxurious bath products include things that most people may only treat themselves to on rare occasions: bubble bath, effervescent bath tablets, exfoliating body scrubs, and body spray. You can also transform common bath products into luxurious items by splurging and purchasing higher quality versions, homemade products, or organic products. Pick a scent. The products don't need to smell the exact same, but they should all fit within a similar scent family so that the recipient can use all of the products during a single “spa day.” Choose the recipient's favorite fragrance, if you know it, or opt for something that popular like rose, lavender, or vanilla. Think of ways to enhance the “spa day” experience beyond the bathtub, and consider accenting the basket with a few other small items to that effect.  For instance, scented candles can create a warm, cozy, and romantic ambiance for the recipient during a bath. Similarly, a small nail care set can help the recipient groom herself or himself further, enhancing the recipient's “spa day” glow even more. Avoid including edible accompaniments, though. Many soaps or effervescent tablets can look like food,...

TL;DR in English: Use a metal or plastic basket. Add luxurious skin and hair care products. Provide related products to enhance the experience.

As noted above, necrosis is a type of tissue death due to lack of blood supply and oxygen. An injured toe, particularly a dislocation or fracture, may already involve damaged blood vessels, so you have to be extra careful when buddy taping not to cut off circulation to the toes. If you accidentally do, then the toes will likely start to throb with achy pain and turn dark red, then dark blue. Most tissue can survive without oxygen for a couple hours (at most), but it's imperative to carefully observe your toes within a 1/2 hour or so of taping to make sure they are getting enough blood.  People with diabetes have much less feeling in their toes and feet, and tend to have poor circulation, which is why they should avoid buddy taping toe injuries. If necrosis does occur in the toes, then amputation surgery is needed to remove them so infection doesn't spread to the rest of the foot or leg. If you experienced an open compound fracture, your doctor may recommend a precautionary two-week course of oral antibiotics to deter a bacterial infection. Although most injuries respond well to taping, some are beyond its scope. When toes are crushed and completely shattered (referred to as a comminuted fracture) or fractured such that the bones radically misalign and stick out through the skin (called an open compound fracture), then no amount of taping is helpful. Instead, you need to get to an emergency department immediately for medical attention and likely a surgical procedure.  Common symptoms of a broken toe include: intense sharp pain, swelling, stiffness, and usually immediate bruising due to internal bleeding. Walking is difficult, and running or jumping is nearly impossible without excruciating pain. Broken toes can be related to conditions that weaken bone, such as bone cancer, bone infections, osteoporosis or chronic diabetes. Once your toe is injured, it's even more susceptible to other damage and problems. As such, wear comfortable and protective shoes while taping your toes (anywhere from two to 6 weeks)....

This is a great practice for connecting with people and showing them you really care about what they’re saying. If you always forget things they’ve told you, it will seem like you aren’t listening to them. Make an effort to remember the details they’ve told you to increase your connection with the person.  Ask about these details too. Someone might tell you on Friday that they’re going to a concert over the weekend. If you see them on Monday, ask how the concert was. This shows you were listening and that you care about them. If you have trouble remembering things, try doing some exercises to improve your memory. Certain mannerisms and body language show a person you’re paying attention. Nodding, making eye contact, and changing your facial expression according to what they say all shows the person that you’re invested in what they say. Don’t remain firm or unresponsive. This shows that you don’t care about the conversation.  If someone tells you a story about something unexpected happening, widen your eyes and make a shocked face. They’ll feel like you’re completely invested in the story. You can also do this when you aren’t directly having a conversation with someone. If a coworker is giving a presentation in a conference room, look at them while they speak. Nod along when they make a good point, and take notes. These all make the person speaking feel important and they will appreciate it. Compliments and praise are great ways to make someone feel important. Give compliments to other people, but don’t overdo it. If you constantly compliment everyone, your praise won’t look genuine. Be sincere when you compliment people, and then move on. Don’t continue complimenting the person after they’ve already acknowledged your compliment. If they say thank you, don’t say, “No but really, you did a great job.” This could come off as fake. Compliments don’t only have to be private matters. If someone you know accomplished something, let other people know about it. The person will be happy to see that other people take...

TL;DR in English: Remember details about people’s lives. Show your interest with nonverbal cues. Offer praise in moderation. Bring attention to their accomplishments. Write thank-you notes if a person does something for you.

Your proposal should be tailored to suit your partner perfectly. Instead of trying to copy or one-up what other couples have done, ask yourself the following throughout the entire planning process: “Will they love it?” For instance, if you know your partner hates being the center of attention, definitely don’t propose on the big screen at a sporting event. On the other hand, if you know they’d get a thrill out of having 50,000 people watching them say “yes,” go for it! Keep in mind that marriage proposal traditions vary widely around the world, especially if your partner comes from a different place or background than you. Do your homework and make sure your proposal respects their traditions, as well as any requirements you may have.  For example, the engagement ring is not a universal symbol. Nor is bending down on one knee while proposing. If possible, talk to your partner’s family to get advice on the best way to propose. Even if there isn’t an expectation that you should get their blessing first, they’ll appreciate being informed of your plans to propose. If tradition is important to them, make it important for you when planning the proposal. For instance, it may be important for you to talk to their parents first, get a diamond ring, take them to a fancy restaurant, get down on one knee, and specifically ask “Will you marry me?” If you’re not sure if they expect a traditional proposal, pay attention to how they respond to proposals involving friends or even celebrities. You might even ask, “So, what did you think of that proposal?” Not everyone dreams of the “fairy tale” proposal that fits all the traditions of their culture. Use your deep knowledge of your partner’s perspectives and preferences to guide your proposal planning. Remember, you goal should be to make it the perfect proposal for them!  If they have moral or economic objections to diamond rings, for example, you might go with a more basic ring style for one or both of you, or just skip using rings at all. So long as you know it suits your...

TL;DR in English: Keep your partner in mind during every aspect of your planning. Factor your partner's culture and family practices into your planning. Stick to tradition if you know that’s your partner’s preference. Make it a modern proposal if that suits your partner better. Get input on your partner's ring preferences, if applicable. Get help capturing and celebrating the event, if desired.

While it is often tempting to get the very biggest screen you can, choosing a TV is more of a science than simply using the "bigger is better" concept. You should choose your TV based on the size of the room and how far away people are from the screen to get the maximum enjoyment for the maximum amount of people.  In general, you should be sitting 1 ½ - 2 ½ times the screen size away from the TV; for example, if you want a 70" TV screen, you should have between 9 and 15 feet of room between the TV and your closest couch.  TV sizes are measured diagonally, from the top-left corner of the screen to the bottom-right corner of the screen. Projectors allow you to adjust the size of the screen as long as you have a large blank wall on which to project the video. You generally need 12-15 feet between the projector and the wall to get the best results. Resolution is one of the key factors when trying to improve your TV's picture. The more pixels, the higher the resolution. This is why 2160p, also known as "4K Ultra HD", is more expensive than 1080p (also known as "Full HD") or 720p.  The “p” stands for the number of pixels on the vertical edge (going downward) of the screen. More pixels give the picture better clarity and color. Some systems are labeled with an “i.” such as 1080i. This stands for “interlaced” pixels, which broadcast slightly differently. While most TV manufacturers have moved past 1080i, you should know that the picture quality is roughly the same, though 1080p has “won” the battle with consumers.Certain video inputs, such as the Xbox One, do not support 1080i and will instead default to 720p on such TVs. As mentioned in the previous section, something like a DVD player or a gaming console will provide your home theater setup with a source of entertainment.  Feel free to skip this step if you already have a video source, or if you're going to use a cable box instead. Ideally, you'll choose an entertainment system (e.g., a console) or a Blu-Ray player for your TV; DVD players and VCR boxes are...

TL;DR in English: Choose the right size TV for your room. Select a high-resolution TV. Purchase a video source. Place your TV in its proper location in the room. Adjust your seating to fit the TV's position.

and act natural. Act like you normally would when you're around that person. Stand tall, with your shoulders back and head up. When you speak, use your normal tone of voice and breathe deeply to relax if you're nervous.  To project confidence, make sure you don't fidget (put your hands in your pockets or hold something to keep your hands occupied). Make eye contact, smile, and speak slowly and clearly. If you are confident that the person likes you, it should lessen your fear of rejection. Walk up to the person and start a conversation about something. You can start a conversation about anything, including how their day is going so far, or a recent episode of a show you both like. This will make it feel more natural when you ask them out and will make you feel more comfortable. Make sure to take them to a secluded place where there aren't other people around.  To start the conversation you can say something like, "Hey, did you see last night's episode of American Horror Story? It was so crazy." You can also say something like, "Hey, how's your day going so far?" When there is a lull in the conversation, ask them if they'd like to go out on a date. Be clear and confident when you ask them so that there's no room for confusion. Asking someone to be your girlfriend or boyfriend is asking someone whether they want to be exclusively romantic with you. Before this step, you need to go on a couple of dates first to establish the fact that you're "dating."  To establish that you want to go on a "date" rather than hang out as friends, you can say, "Hey, do you want to go out on a date with me over the weekend?" If you've already gone on dates with the person and you want them to be your boyfriend or girlfriend, you can say something like, "I like when we hang out and go on dates. I'm not interested in going out with anyone else — do you want to be exclusive?" Instead of asking someone if they want to go on a date "sometime," get specific with what you're asking them. For instance, you can say something like, "Would...

TL;DR in English: Be confident Start a one-on-one conversation. Ask them if they want to go out. Be specific and flexible. Don't get upset if they just want to be friends.

Books have a level of detail that makes it easy to fall into their stories and tune out the world around you in addition to your own thoughts and emotions — including fear generated by something scary — and the distraction from scary thoughts is not the only benefit reading before bed offers; there are several good reasons to read before bed in general.  Be sure the book you choose is not scary or you will defeat the book's purpose of occupying your mind. Choose a book that is happy, funny, or complicated enough that you will occupy your mind effectively. Consider a book that deals with a topic you find somewhat uninspiring—such as a school textbook or the like, as this alone might put you to sleep. Humor is a great way to occupy your mind when you are too scared to sleep. In fact, good humor, including laughter, is good for your health too.  The media you expose yourself to before sleep can affect your dreams, so watching something less scary before sleeping can keep you from having trouble sleeping in the first place. Even better, choose something you are familiar with already — something you have already seen, like a favorite film — to watch after something scary. This will not only interrupt the possibility of the scary media affecting your dreams and your ability to sleep, but it might be comforting to some extent as well because it is familiar. A great way to occupy your mind when you are having trouble sleeping is by crafting. The repetition that many crafts require might act as just the mind occupier you need. Some crafts include:  Crocheting Knitting Cross-stitch

Consider the nutritional value of egg yolks. Substitute egg whites to limit cholesterol. Buy local, cage free, and organic. Use whole eggs and egg whites together.

Fill a chimney completely full with briquettes. Heat the briquettes until they're tinged with white ash. Carefully dump half of the coals on one side of the grill and the other half on the other side of the grill. The center of the grill shouldn't have any coals. If you don't have a chimney to heat the briquettes, you'll need to light about 100 briquettes. Take a disposable aluminum tray and fill it halfway with water. Place the tray in the middle of the grill where there aren't any coals. The coals should be on both sides of the drip pan. Scatter a handful of smoking wood chips to the coals or place three or four large chunks of smoking wood on the coals. You can use hickory, apple wood, or mesquite smoking wood. Set the seasoned prime rib on the grill right over the water pan. Put the lid on the grill and smoke the prime rib for three to four hours. Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the thickest part of the meat. For rare, smoke it until it reaches 125 to 130 degrees F (50 to 55 degrees C). For medium-rare, smoke it until it reaches 135 degrees F (60 degrees C). If you have a thermometer inside the grill, adjust the vents until the temperature reaches 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). If you'd like the prime rib to have a crisp, golden crust, sear it over direct heat. Open all of the vents on your grill to increase the heat. You might need to add several briquettes of charcoal. Put the smoked prime rib back on the grill directly over the hot coals. Cook the meat for a few minutes or until the outside is browned. Remove the prime rib from the grill and place it on a big piece of aluminum foil. Wrap the foil over the meat and leave it to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Snip off the kitchen twine and carefully slice away the bones from the prime rib. Cut the meat into 1/2-inch (12 mm) slices against the grain. Place the sliced prime rib on a platter and serve it with your choice of sides. You can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to three or four days. Ensure that the meat is...

TL;DR in English: Set up a two-zone fire in your charcoal grill. Arrange a drip pan and add smoking wood to the grill. Smoke the prime rib for three to four hours. Consider searing the prime rib. Wrap and rest the meat. Carve the prime rib.

The easiest way to begin drawing from life is to use a model. Draw what is directly in front of you. This can be a person, an object, or a landscape. Drawing directly from something you can observe will result in the greatest improvement in your skills. Try to work as quickly as you can. This will teach your brain to take in the most important information quickly and efficiently. Note basic shapes and proportions before moving on to details. This will keep you from having to adjust if your model moves. . If a live model is unavailable, you are worried about the model moving too much, or simply don't have the time to devote to a live model drawing, you can draw instead from a photograph. This is not as effective a learning tool but produces similar results in terms of a final drawing. If you want to draw something photo-realistic but lack proper skills, this will be the easiest method since you will be able to take in minute details at your own pace. . Though you will not learn as much, you can simply create a realistic image from your imagination. To be truly realistic, you will need to have an excellent understanding of light and shadow, as well as proportion, form, and fold physics.

TL;DR in English: Draw using a model. Draw from a photograph Draw using your imagination

Stress is one major cause of teeth grinding, so you should aim to relieve your stress. You can relieve the stress in your life by attending stress counseling, exercising, or meditating. You may also consider looking into natural remedies to reduce stress. There is also a large variety of tea plants, like chamomile and lavender, which can calm you down before bed time. Here are some other ways to reduce your stress:  Eliminate any major sources of stress in your life.

Stop yourself from stress-related habits that have to do with your mouth. Chewing non-food items is a sign of an increased stress level. For example, if you tend to chew on pencils or pens when you are stressed out, you should eliminate that habit.If this is particularly challenging, you can chew gum or suck on a mint whenever you have the urge to chew on...

Combine the soy sauce, yuzu juice, rice vinegar, and dashi stock in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly using a wire whisk until the ingredients are evenly combined.  Ponzu sauce is one of the two dipping sauces traditionally served with shabu shabu. It is a fairly common sauce, and as such, you might be able to find a commercially prepared ponzu sauce at an Asian grocer or in the cultural food aisle at a standard grocery store. The finished sauce will usually be dark brown. Transfer the ponzu sauce to a shallow serving dish. The serving dish should be low and wide so that you will have no difficulty dipping pieces of meat and vegetable into the sauce. The sauce can be served on its own, but for the sake of presentation and taste, you could also add a few garnishes. Grated daikon radish, thinly sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of ground red pepper are common choices.  When using daikon radish, peel the daikon and chop it into handful-sized chunks. Grate one of these chunks using a box grater, then sprinkle it over the top of the sauce as desired. There is no set amount to use when adding garnishes. Typically, you'll only want to add enough to give the sauce color without completely hiding it. Set the sauce aside until you are ready to enjoy the shabu shabu.

TL;DR in English: Whisk the sauce ingredients together. Pour into a serving dish. Add the garnishes, if desired.

Though whole eggs contain a bit more protein than egg whites, their relative value comes from nutrients and vitamins that are plentiful in the egg yolk. For instance, even a small raw egg contains meaningful amounts of iron, phosphorus, zinc, and folate. Further, yolks also contain good vitamins A and D, as well as a bunch of choline, lutein, and zeaxanthin, all of which your body needs. One small whole egg contains 54 calories and 47% of your daily allotment of cholesterol, while the equivalent amount of egg whites contains only 17 calories and 0 cholesterol. If you’re counting calories or watching your cholesterol intake, egg whites may be the better option. Otherwise, whole eggs may be the better option, as they contain many healthy vitamins and nutrients.  For egg whites, there is variation in flavor and consistency between different brands. If you don’t like the first type of egg whites you try, switch brands and try another - some cook more easily than others too. Follow the container for the equivalent amount of egg white to use in exchange for whole eggs. Usually, two of the “equivalent” amount will cook up to about as much as one whole egg, in terms of size. You can also make your own egg whites by removing the yolks from eggs yourself. There are several easy ways to do so at home. The best place to get eggs is a local farmer’s market. Not only will they be fresh and flavorful, they often come from healthier hens. At the grocery store, opt for cage-free, organic eggs or egg whites.  These will ensure that the hens were not fed unhealthy food that may translate into health risks for you. A solid compromise is to use egg whites along with a whole egg.  For a personal omelet, use one whole egg and two egg whites. (This is the rough equivalent of four egg whites or two whole eggs.) This effectively maximizes the protein to calorie ratio of your omelet.

TL;DR in English:
