Backspin serves are best when your opponent is standing back from the table. They can add variety to a match that has contained lots of long, topspin serves. If your opponent doesn’t know which way you’re going to spin the ball, they’ll need to stand in the middle of their side. This will make it tough for them to return any sidespin serves. The longer the ball is in the air, the faster it’ll be coming down. This fast speed will allow you to put more spin onto the ball after you strike it. If you have more spin, your opponent may have a tougher time returning the ball. This serve puts a little sidespin on the ball. This will make the ball difficult to return with a backhand, as it’ll break away from your opponent and may not make it back over the net. Your racket should be in the closed position for this serve. This serve also puts sidespin onto the ball, this time from the opposite direction. Most players are more used to the standard forehand pendulum, so this serve may catch them off guard. Using an open racket, hit the ball from right to left. This serve will also add sidespin and make it difficult for your opponent to control their return. The best way to have a great serve game is to be prepared with lots of options. You’ll probably develop a specialty that becomes your favorite go-to serve. Be sure you also practice long and short serves, all the different spins, and different table placements.    Run drills with a partner to get the feel for serving as you would in a match. You can use each other to practice all the different racket positions, striking motions, and spins. You can also practice serving against the wall if you’re alone.

TL;DR in English: Hit the ball with a short stroke for a short backspin serve. Add sidespin to a backhand serve for a tough return. Use a high toss to get more spin. Do a forehand pendulum serve by striking from left to right. Do a reverse pendulum serve by striking from right to left. Strike right to left with racket tip up for a tomahawk serve. Practice varied lengths, spins, and placements.

Once your silver is satisfactorily clean, rinse all remnants of baking soda or toothpaste off with warm water. Then buff each piece of silver with a clean, dry cloth.  Be sure to get all of the residue off. Failing to rinse your silverware thoroughly will leave it dull looking. Drying thoroughly helps prevent unsightly water spots from forming on your silverware.

TL;DR in English: Rinse and buff your silverware.

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a medical process by which an embryo's genetic information is analyzed before implantation in the uterus. It can also be used to determine the sex of the baby. If you're interested in pursuing this process, start by contacting a clinic near you that performs this type of procedure. PGD coupled with In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is one of the only ways to choose a baby's sex with absolute certainty. However, it's also one of the most expensive, resource-intensive methods available. If the clinic agrees to perform this procedure, the female partner will probably need to begin preparing to donate eggs several weeks to a month in advance. Generally, women undergoing PGD and IVF are given fertility drugs to stimulate the ovaries to release more mature eggs.  Usually, fertility drugs are taken for about two weeks via pill or injection.  Side effects for common fertility drugs are usually mild and can include include hot flashes, nausea, bloating, headache, and blurred vision. In addition to taking fertility drugs, women who intend to donate eggs usually also receive a series of daily hormone injections. These injections further stimulate the ovaries to release more mature eggs.  Some women have strong side effects to these hormones, so first-timers are generally monitored carefully to ensure that the process is proceeding smoothly. You may also be required to take progesterone, a hormone that thickens the uterine lining in preparation for IVF. As the female partner's body is stimulated to release more eggs, regular ultrasound tests are used to determine when the eggs are ready to be donated. When the eggs are fully mature, there is a simple, minimally-invasive surgical procedure to remove the eggs. Most women are able to resume normal activities within a day or so of this procedure. Though the female partner is put under sedation for this procedure, it can be somewhat uncomfortable. Painkillers are usually prescribed to aid with post-surgery pain. If the male partner does...

TL;DR in English: Find a hospital or clinic that performs PGD and IVF. Undergo fertility treatments. Receive hormone injections. Donate eggs. Allow the eggs to be fertilized. Allow the embryo to undergo biopsy. Make a decision based on the testing results. Undergo In-Vitro Fertilization.

Sit on the floor and place one foot into the stretcher. Straighten your knee, slowly, until you feel a push on the top of your foot. Do this exercise once a day for a couple of minutes and gradually add on over time.  Take care not to overstretch your foot. You should never feel more than a small amount of pressure while stretching. If your foot gets overstretched, take a break from stretching for a few days. Foot stretchers are available online or you can make your own. Take a sanded piece of wood (about two times the length of your foot) and use a glue gun to glue a sock around the circumference of the wood. Take a Thera-Band (which you can buy online) and tie it in a knot a fist’s width away from your sock. Slip your toes through the knot in the Thera-Band and rest your heel on the sock to stretch out your foot. Sit on the floor with your legs outstretched. Point your toe, then slowly lift just the toes up and then point your toes again. Do three sets of twelve every day to achieve maximum results with this exercise.  Make sure to isolate your toes from the rest of your feet, so the only part of your foot that is moving is your toes.  Focus on keeping your leg straight as well. Do not let it rock from side to side. To do this exercise, you will need twenty marbles and a bowl. Place the marbles on the floor and then take a seat next to them. One by one, pick the marbles up with your toes and place them into the bowl. This exercise is especially helpful if you’re having pain in the ball of your foot or cramps in your toes.

TL;DR in English: Use a foot stretcher. Do toe sit-ups. Do a marble pick up.

There are parts of the game where you will not be under the immediate threat of zombies. For the duration of these parts, you must do certain things in order to progress, such as exploring every area to uncover bits and pieces of the story.  You can gather information, read notes, gather food, and even find weapons if you explore properly. You are almost always required to collect all items in any given scene to progress. In certain cases, however, discovering everything is optional and not required to progress to the next part of the story. There are chances to stumble into a small event, such as eavesdropping into someone's conversation, if it pertains to the story. Do everything you think is possible, such as give the food you find to your allies or sit next to them and talk. Eventually, you will hear more of their side and gain objectives for your next mission. Using Lee, you have the option to come off as strongly to one side, strongly to the other, or neutral. This is affected by the choices that you make, in addition to affecting your relationship with Clementine.  Whether or not Clementine is your Lee's first priority is your decision. Every decision you make may or may not hold consequences, so take care if you don't want somebody to be unhappy with you. Choose what you believe is right, then move on. This game is tailored to your choices. Though the first season always has the same ending, how you get there is entirely up to you. There really is no right or wrong choice in this game. The game's setting presents a moral grey area, so be confident in the choices that you make.

TL;DR in English: Explore every area. Be a model citizen or an antihero.

Do so by tapping it in your hotbar. This is a relatively simple, if tedious, task: to do so, fill in the entire foundation area with your hotel's floor's building material.  For example, if your cleared area is the aforementioned twenty-by-twenty space, you'll place 400 blocks of your selected building material here. It's best to first fill in the perimeter so that you don't accidentally stray outside of the boundaries of your hotel's foundation. The ideal number of blocks between the floor and the ceiling is at least four. Each column should be as tall as you're hoping to make the hotel. To calculate this number:  Take the height in blocks you want each room to be, plus one block for the ceiling/floor of the subsequent room. Multiply the height in blocks by the number of stories you want. Discount the layer of blocks that comprises your hotel's foundation. The easiest way to do this is by creating horizontal beams that connect all of your hotel's columns, then filling in the horizontal space for each beam. You're essentially re-creating the foundation on each story. Be sure to leave several spaces for your hotel's stairs to connect each floor. While optional, doing this will complete the building's skeleton. Make sure you leave the walls facing out of the hotel open, since you won't have enough light with which to work if you don't.

Place 2 more tablespoons of peanut oil in a wok. Add the chopped vegetables to the wok, one type of vegetable at a time. Place all of the ingredients in the wok, except for the noodles, sauce and shallot. Serve the chow mein.

When cleaning an acrylic bath tub, avoid using any aerosol or acetone cleaners. The chemicals in those cleaners can eat through the acrylic of your tub. To clean acrylic bathtubs, use a mild dish soap with warm water. Wet the sides of the tub and a soft sponge with warm water. Apply a small amount of a mild dish soap to the sponge and gently scrub the tub. You should avoid using wire brushes or scrubbing pads as these can scratch the acrylic and ruin it. Instead of using cleanser on hard water stains on your bathtub, try rubbing lemons over the stains. Let the lemon juice sit on the stain for a few minutes, and then rinse with water and before drying it with a microfiber cloth.

TL;DR in English: Don’t use aerosol cleaners on acrylic bath tubs. Use mild dish soap on acrylic tubs. Use lemons to remove hard water stains.

Green onions can be kept in water or soil at room temperature and they will continue to grow. If you want to keep them in water, you will need to find a glass or jar that is tall enough and heavy enough to keep them upright. If you want to keep the onions in soil, you will need a flower pot that will fit on your windowsill and that is at least 6 inches (15 cm) deep. Green onions will last a long time stored in either water or soil on your windowsill. Deciding between the two is based mostly on personal preference. If you are using a glass, put 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of water in it. Like the refrigerator method, this allows the roots of the green onions to absorb water up into the plant. If you are using a pot, put at least 5 inches (13 cm) of potting soil in it. This will allow the green onions to be planted deep enough to stand up on their own. Stick the root end of your green onions into your container of water. If you are keeping your onions in soil, stick the root end into the soil and then press the soil down around them to help the onions stand up. Green onions should be placed 2 inches (5.1 cm) apart when planted in soil. In order for your green onions to continue growing, they need to be exposed to sunlight. Place the container or pot in a sunny spot that gets 6 to 7 hours of light every day.  Having your green onions continue growing is a perk of storing them in the sunlight, as opposed to in the fridge. Green onions stored in the fridge will not continue growing. Typically, a sunny windowsill in your kitchen is a great place to store green onions or scallions. This makes it easy for you to remember to use them when you are cooking a meal. The green onions that you store outside of the refrigerator will need a bit of care. For green onions stored in water, be sure to switch out the water every few days. This will ensure that mold doesn't accumulate on the surface of the water. If your green onions are stored in soil, you should be sure to water the soil when it begins to dry out. Green onions should...

TL;DR in English: Pick out a container. Prepare your container. Place your onions in the water or soil. Place the container on your windowsill or in another sunny spot. Change out the water in the glass or water the soil every few days. Use the green onion tops and but keep the roots intact.

Serotonin syndrome is essentially an over-excitation of the nervous system, so the symptoms reflect this. You may feel agitation, restlessness, or irritability. Because of this, you may experience an increased heart rate and palpitations. Your pupils may also be dilated and you may have increased blood pressure. Another common symptom of serotonin syndrome is confusion and disorientation. You may also experience pronounced clumsiness. Your muscles may feel uncoordinated, making it hard to walk, drive, or perform daily tasks. Your muscles may also end up feeling excessively rigid. You may also experience twitching muscles or muscle tics. If you have serotonin syndrome, you may also experience profuse sweating. Instead of sweating, you may experience shivering or have goosebumps break out over your body. You may also experience diarrhea or headaches. There are some symptoms associated with serotonin syndrome that indicate you are experiencing a serious reaction. These symptoms can be life-threatening, and if you experience them, you should call emergency services immediately. These symptoms include:  High fever Seizures An irregular heartbeat Unconsciousness High blood pressure Change in mental status The symptoms of serotonin syndrome usually begin within a few hours of taking a prescribed medication, an OTC medication, or an herbal supplement. These symptoms are even more common when one or more of these substances are combined.  The majority of cases of serotonin syndrome happen within six to 24 hours of a change in dose or starting of a new drug.  Serotonin syndrome can be serious and life-threatening, so if you are taking any of the medications listed or have just started a new medication and experience any of the symptoms, call your physician, emergency services, or go to an emergency room right away.

TL;DR in English: Check for symptoms of agitation. Monitor for confusion or lack of coordination. Watch for other bodily changes. Check for severe symptoms. Know that the symptoms can start within a few hours.

Keep them separate – you'll be cooking them separately later. The beauty about chow mein is that you can really use whatever vegetables you like. Cabbage and carrot are awfully common, too. Just dice it up and it'll be ready for stir-frying. Heat the oil, then stir in the marinated chicken strips. Remove the chicken from the pan when the chicken is no longer pink. Set the chicken aside – you'll be tossing it back in after the vegetables are done. Fry the wonton noodles in the hot oil, one small batch at a time. Remove the noodles when they turn golden. You may not need that much more oil after the chicken, or you may need plenty. Just make sure there's enough oil in the pan for it to adequately stir-fry whatever's inside. Remove each vegetable before adding the next vegetable. Add more oil as needed. Stir fry all of the vegetables, except for the scallion. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add 1/4 cup of water and place a lid on the wok when you stir fry the broccoli or bok choy. Because of this, it's easiest to do last. Stir well, then make a well in the center for the sauce. Stir the sauce, then pour the sauce into the well. Stir again. Add the scallion, stir, and then pour the chow mein over the wonton noodles. Mix it up as you like. Place it all into a big bowl with tongs or a large fork and spoon and let your guests serve themselves. Provide extra soy sauce on the side, too, if needed. Make sure you have both chopsticks and a fork at the ready – some people aren't proficient at chopsticks and prefer using a fork (and some are the other way around).

The most common test for testosterone involves your physician drawing a tube of blood from your vein. In addition to the blood sample, your physician will also perform a physical exam. Because low testosterone may be an indicator for an underlying problem, like a problem with the pituitary gland, liver disease, an inherited disease, or Addison's disease, your doctor may want to test you for an underlying problem if you have low testosterone. Depending on your physical exam, your symptoms, and your history, other tests may be required after the testosterone test. Your doctor may test for thyroid function, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Testosterone can also be measured in your saliva, though not many mainstream physicians offer this option. The test is reasonably reliable, but it is too new of a method to be totally accepted. Two reputable labs that test for salivary testosterone are ZRTLabs and Labrix. If your total testosterone from your screening lab test comes back abnormal, ask to have the test for “free” or bioavailable testosterone. The most important testosterone value is the “free” and/or bioavailable testosterone.  This is not always measured because it is not so easy to measure. The tests for “free” or bioavailable testosterone are considered better biomarkers. There are things that might affect the results of your test. Taking medicines with estrogen or testosterone (including birth control), digoxin, spironolactone, and barbiturates may interfere with the test. Medicines for prostate cancer and that raise prolactin levels may also have a negative effect. Hypothyroidism can also interfere with the test. If your testosterone levels are low, talk to your physician about testosterone replacement therapy. Testosterone is available as a gel or patch, muscular injections, or tablets that can be dissolved under the tongue. There are also some natural options including dietary approaches, increased exercise, and herbs such as Tribulus terrestris, Ashwagandha, Ginkgo Biloba, Maca, and Yohimbe.

TL;DR in English: Go to the doctor for a testosterone test. Be prepared for additional tests. Get an oral test. The most common test is for “total testosterone,” which is the testosterone that is bound to other proteins in the blood. Consider what affects the test. Choose a testosterone replacement therapy.

Swat a fly by trapping it between one hand and a hard, flat surface that you have gotten it to land on. Move slowly toward the fly, then slap it quickly and firmly with your hand.  Approach the fly very slowly until you are within an arm’s length of it. Keep your arm still until you are in position, then move it as quickly as possible in one motion toward the fly to hit it. If you are approaching the fly from behind it, anticipate its quick forward motion by aiming your hand slightly (a few inches) in front of it for the slap. If you are coming at the fly from the front, arc your hand over and slightly behind the fly in case it flies backwards. Lift up one finger on your swatting hand using your other hand (the pointer or middle finger works best). Then position that hand flat on the surface that your fly is on, then release your finger to snap it down and hit the fly at a quick rate.  Move your hand very, very slowly until it is in position on the flat surface that the fly has already landed on. Make sure the finger you have pulled back is in perfect position over the fly before you release it. Because this method requires you to place your hand so close, it may not work with quickly-moving flies. Try it on flies that have slowed down due to age, colder weather, or time of day. Approach a fly slowly with two hands on either side of it, palms facing toward the fly. Then bring your palms quickly together as if you were clapping to trap the fly between them.  Aim a few inches above the fly when you bring your hands together to anticipate it escaping upward.  Use a variation of this method if you want to humanely capture a fly and release it outside without killing it. Instead of bringing your two palms together, make one of both of your hands into a cupped position before bringing them together to catch the fly in the space made between your hands.

TL;DR in English: Slap the fly with one hand. Propel one finger to hit the fly. Clap the fly between two hands.

Sprains come in 3 grades. A grade 1 sprain has slight tearing of the ligaments, and will result in mild tenderness and swelling. A grade 2 sprain has partial ligament tearing,and moderate tenderness and swelling. A grade 3 sprain is a complete tear of the ligament, and will have significant swelling and tenderness around the ankle.  A grade 1 sprain usually does not require medical attention. A grade 3 sprain should almost always be seen by a doctor to make sure there is no other damage to the ankle. Home treatment and management for all 3 grades is the same, but the higher the grade the longer it will take for the ankle to heal. A grade 1 sprain may not require any medical attention, but grades 2-3 should be seen by a doctor. If your sprain prevents you from comfortably putting weight on your ankle for more than a day, or if you experience severe pain and swelling, call your doctor to make an appointment as soon as possible. Avoid walking on your ankle as much as possible until the swelling goes down and it doesn’t hurt to put weight on the sprained ankle. Try not to put weight on the ankle either. If necessary, use crutches to help distribute your weight and keep your balance when you walk. You may consider using an elastic ankle brace as well. Braces add stability and can help control swelling while the ligaments are healing. Depending on the severity of the sprain, you may need the brace for 2-6 weeks. Wrap a handful of ice, an ice pack, or a bag of frozen peas in a dish towel or a thin piece of cloth. Apply the ice compress to the injured ankle, and hold it there for 15 to 20 minutes. Repeat this every 2-3 hours for as long as swelling persists.  Apply ice to your ankle even if you plan to go to the doctor. Ice limits inflammation, especially during the first 24 hours of the injury. Applying ice to any sprain will help reduce overall swelling and bruising. Alternatively, you can fill a bucket with ice water and immerse your foot and ankle. Leave the ice off at least 20-30 minutes between applications....

TL;DR in English: Determine the severity of the sprain. See your doctor for moderate or severe sprains. Rest your ankle until the swelling goes down. Ice your ankle to limit swelling and dull pain. Compress your ankle Elevate your ankle above the level of your heart. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever.

To do a kettlebell squat, start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and the kettlebell at your chest in a goblet grip. Then, slowly squat down until your thighs are parallel with the floor. Drive your hips and knees up to stand back into the starting position.  Keep the kettlebell in front of your chest throughout the exercise. Try to keep your back straight as you squat down. Kettlebell squats can help build your quads, glutes, and hamstrings. To do a kettlebell deadlift, start by standing with your feet a little wider than shoulder-width and your toes turned outward. Bend forward with a flat back, hinging with at the hips. Leaned over, contract your back muscles to hold the weight of the kettlebell. Your arms stay passive and extended. Slowly straighten your legs to standing and lift your back.  Squeeze your buttocks once you’re standing upright with the kettlebell. Lower the kettlebell back to the starting position to repeat. Kettlebell deadlifts will work your glutes and hamstrings. To do a reverse lunge with a kettlebell, start by standing up straight with a kettlebell racked so it’s resting on your forearm. Then, step backward with the leg that’s on the same side of your body as the kettlebell and touch the floor with your knee. Keeping the kettlebell racked, step back up into the starting position.  When you step back and drop onto your knee, your other leg should be bent at a 90-degree angle. Do several reps with the same leg and then switch to the opposite leg.

TL;DR in English: Do some kettlebell squats. Try kettlebell deadlifts. Do reverse lunges using a kettlebell.

Hold the bow in a vertical position using your non-dominant hand. With your dominant hand, form a loose ring with your thumb and both the middle and ring fingers. Note that your index and pinky fingers should naturally curve down toward your thumb, as well. Do not touch your thumb with those fingers, but keep them relaxed and perched in that curved position. With the bow hair facing you, gently open the ring you created so that you can slide the stick of the bow inside. The stick should rest on your thumb right at the point where the frog (the device where the bow hair is held and can be adjusted) meets the leather bow grip. Bring the index and ring fingers down over the opposite side of the frog. The pads of those fingers should rest directly on the frog.  Your index finger should rest around the stick at a finger's space away from the middle finger, and the pinky should curve and rest on top of the bow stick. You should gently hold the bow without gripping it. Your fingers should be curved in a natural, relaxed form, and your joints should not be stiff. Your palm should also remain soft. While playing, be sure that you keep your hands and joints free from tension. It should be a comfortable and relaxed grip. Your first and second finger joints should all be bent slightly, with no hyperextensions. Otherwise you will not have a lot of control and your strokes will be short.

TL;DR in English: Form a ring with your thumb and fingers. Place the bow into your curved hand. Let the remaining fingers fall into place. Avoid overextending and tensing your joints.

An effective defense hinges on your ability to present evidence that casts doubt on whether you committed domestic violence on the day in question. This evidence can take many forms, but you will need to gather it soon after the incident.  If you were falsely accused of hitting someone, then take photographs of your hands as soon as possible. If there are no bruises, swelling, or scratches, then you have some proof that you never struck anyone.  You might want to get evidence that the alleged victim was drunk during the incident. This evidence would reduce that person’s credibility and provides a reason why he or she would lie to police. You should try to gather any evidence that can prove this: drunken text messages, receipts for alcohol purchases, video of the alleged victim.  If you are arrested, then you will need someone else to gather this information for you. Ask a trusted friend or relative. A good source of evidence are witnesses. Did someone see the fight between you and your family member? Can this person testify that you were actually the victim of the incident and not the perpetrator? If you can find witnesses, then take down their personal contact information, such as their phone number and email address. You also can have them write down a witness statement, explaining what they observed. Have the witness sign and date the statement. You need an experienced attorney if you hope to beat a domestic violence charge. You should not speak to the prosecutor or police without an attorney. Pool whatever available resources you can in order to hire a qualified private lawyer.  You may be offered a public defender or other court-appointed lawyer. These attorneys may not be able to devote sufficient time to your case. For this reason, you need to give serious consideration to hiring your own lawyer.  To find a qualified domestic violence lawyer, you can visit your state’s bar association website, which should run a referral service. Look for attorneys who specialize in domestic violence defense.

Generally speaking, having a successful relationship requires confidence in yourself and believing that you deserve to be loved. If you love yourself, you are more prepared to be in a relationship. If you shared your feelings and they were well received, after a bit of time has passed (the amount of time varies for each couple) you may begin to feel like you want to have an official relationship. You cannot just assume that both of you are on the same page. You have to ask him whether or not he wants to be your official boyfriend. Sometimes when you take a step back and really think about the person and your interactions, you can tell whether or not there is a future for the relationship. In some instances, it is best not to move forward with the relationship, but instead just decide to be friends. If you decide to move forward with the relationship, you should be clear about your expectations and what you need from a boyfriend in order for the relationship to be successful. You can have a long-term, committed, and loving relationship if that is what you truly desire. As with all relationships, it will take time, mutual respect, and ongoing effort. If you both agree to be boyfriends, start having fun together and enjoying each other’s company.  It is important to clarify what type of relationship you want to have. Simply saying that you are boyfriends may not be enough. You should talk about whether or not your relationship is monogamous and whether or not you both see a future together.  If you have not already, now is a good time to make sure that he is not in another relationship, especially if you decide to be exclusive.

TL;DR in English: Decide if you are ready for the next step. Assess whether or not he is good for you. Discuss your expectations. Plan to have fun together.

One purpose of the silent treatment, at least by some people, is to avoid the conflict altogether. That is, any time the conflict is brought up, you refuse to talk about it. While this is not a productive way to handle all conflicts, you may want to handle certain situations through silence. For instance, if you’re out in public and do not want to start arguing, you can say, “This isn’t the time or place for this discussion. I refuse to talk about it further until we can better engage this.” Whether from a child or from an adult, it never helps to engage a tantrum. Tantrums serve to get attention or to manipulate a situation to go a certain way. Instead of engaging over-the-top behaviors, it's best to ignore them and not allow the behavior to have any emotional anchor on you. If your parent threatens hysterics on account of something you may do in the future, or if your partner threatens drastic behavior if you leave, calmly disengage from the situation. If you feel triggered by someone's words or actions and really want to respond back, this may be a good opportunity to practice silence instead. Especially if this person is egging you on, withhold your statements. If this person keeps pressuring you, you can say, "I'm doing my best not to say anything that may hurt or offend you, and it's best that I say nothing at all." If someone is taunting you or spouting off negative comments to you, don't dignify the words with a response. By not responding, you enact your power of standing for yourself, and of not allowing the comment to affect you. If someone is attacking you or belittling you, there's no sense in defending yourself or reaching that same level of stupidity. It's best to ignore the comments, not let them emotionally affect you, and move on. Arguments can reach the point where rationality flies out the window and you find yourself yelling for no apparent reason. If you notice someone reaching a point of inability to listen to rational statements, there's nothing you can say to respond well. Instead of...

TL;DR in English: Avoid the conflict. Don't engage in tantrums. Keep from hurting or offending someone. Respond through silence to degrading remarks. Avoid intensifying negative emotions. Ask if you can take a breather. Use silence to calm yourself.

Most sneakers can be cleaned in the washing machine, but it’s always a good idea to double-check beforehand. If the label says “hand wash only,” you may want to consider cleaning the shoes by hand. If your shoes don’t have a label, search the brand online to get cleaning recommendations. If your shoes have any leather or suede, it is not a good idea to machine wash them, as the water can damage those parts of the shoes. Preferably, do this over a trash can or outside to keep the dirt from getting all over your floor. If the dirt is wet, let it dry completely first. Dry dirt brushes away more easily than wet dirt does. Removing as much dirt as possible before washing the shoes will help them get cleaner in the washing machine. Check them out to see if there are any areas that are particularly dirty. If so, take a little bit of laundry detergent and use your fingers to rub it into the shoelaces. This pretreating will help the dirt come out more easily. Put the laces into their own small mesh bag to keep them from wrapping around other items when they’re in the wash. If you don’t have mesh laundry bags, you can buy them online or at department stores for about $10. Put the bag with your shoes in it, the one with the laces, and a load of towels into the washing machine. Washing the shoes along with towels keeps the shoes from banging around in the washing machine, which could potentially damage your shoes or the machine itself. Use the same amount of detergent you normally would, and avoid using hot water. Choose the gentle cycle if you have the option. Don’t overdo it on the detergent. Excess detergent can cause soap residue to build up on your shoes, making them stiff and possibly even staining them. You can put them in front of a dehumidifier, a fan, or an open window, but avoid putting them in front of any type of heat source or into the dryer. If the shoes have insoles, take them out and let them dry separately to speed up the process.  You might be tempted to toss your sneakers into the dryer so you can...

TL;DR in English:


Dress appropriately. Equip other useful gear. Take only what you can realistically use. Stay vigilant. Don’t leave behind a mess.

If you feel that your physique is small, there is a chance that you are actually underweight. The health dangers of being overweight are well-known, but there are also significant problems attached to being underweight. Evaluate whether you are underweight and consider steps to develop a healthier physique. This isn’t about becoming a bodybuilder, but is about being healthy and happy.  Use a BMI healthy weight calculator to assess your weight and size, like the one here. If you are underweight you may not be getting enough calories, which can leave you tired and lethargic. Being underweight can mean your body lacks the nutrients to develop fully. Your immune system will also suffer, making you more susceptible to illness. If you are underweight you should aim to gradually gain weight until you reach the recommended level for your age and height. This doesn’t mean eating a lot of fatty and sugar-filled foods to pile on the pounds. Doing this will increase your body fat, rather than your lean body mass. You should instead try to eat three meals a day, and three snacks a day, which are based on the principles of a healthy balanced diet.  High-energy foods are particularly effective if you are trying to gain weight. Try oatmeal with whole milk for breakfast, with smoothies for snacks. For lunch, a baked potato with tuna gives you lots of energy. Peanut butter on wheat toast is a great high-energy snack to have between meals if you want to put on some weight. Achieving a healthy weight and physique does not mean building enormous muscles. Having a toned, athletic, and flexible body will help you stay healthy. Try to couple strength exercises, such as push up, squats, and crunches, with exercises that improve your flexibility, such as yoga or pilates.  Remember: you should not try to emulate an idealised or unattainable physique. Think about how physically fit you feel, rather than what you look like. Exercising regularly will help keep your body healthy. Try to do some muscle-strengthening exercises twice a week.

TL;DR in English: Determine if you are underweight. Reach a healthy weight. Increase your strength and flexibility.

Your mom may be hesitant to let you get your ears pierced, especially if she's stricter. However, the two of you may be able to compromise. If your mom says no for now, talk to her about a possible compromise.  If she has not provided it, ask your mom why she's saying, "No." Once you figure out the reason, try to think of a reasonable compromise. For example, say your mom is worried about cost. In this case, you could offer to pay for half the costs of the piercings with money from your paper route. If you mom is worried you're too young, see if she'd be willing to agree to let you get your ears pierced after your next birthday. If you're unable to compromise, accept no for an answer for the time being. If you maturely accept you mom's decision, this will reflect well on you. In the future, your mom may be inclined to let you have a bit more freedom regarding your personal choices.  You can end the conversation by saying something like, "I understand. You don't want me to get them pierced right now, and that's fine. Thank you for listening anyway." You should always leave these kinds of discussions on a good note. This will leave you and your mom feeling positive about what transpired. If it's a no for now, there's not much you can do. However, wait a few months and raise the issue again. If you've been responsible and respectful, your mom may have changed her decision. Ask just as respectfully the first time as you did the second time. Again, do not be surprised if the answer is still, "No." Be willing to accept this.

TL;DR in English: Look for a compromise. Accept a "No" at first. Try again in the future.

Also known as the "watch me" command, the "listen" is one of the first commands you should teach your dog.  You'll use it to get your dog’s attention so you can give him the next command or direction. Some people just use their dog’s name instead of the "listen." This is especially useful if you have more than one dog. That way, each individual dog will know when you want it to focus on you. These may be dog treats you buy at the store, or hot dogs cut into small pieces. Choose a treat that you know your dog loves and will perform for. Don’t engage with him, though. If he reacts to your presence, stand still and look away until he loses interest. If you're using your dog's name instead of the "listen" or "watch me" commands, say his name instead. The tone and volume should be the same as if you were calling a person's name to get their attention. Save the big booming voice for “life saving” situations, like if he escapes his fence or leash. If you rarely raise your voice, you'll get your dog’s undivided attention when you do need to yell. But if you are always “loud” to your dog, they will ignore that sound and tune it out. Shouting will no longer be regarded as something that commands special attention. Dogs have excellent hearing — far better than ours. A fun twist on this command is to see how quietly you can whisper and have your dog respond. People will think you are the “dog whisperer” when you can get him to perform commands with hardly a whisper. As soon as your dog stops what he's doing and looks toward you, praise him and give him a treat. Make the click sound before giving praise or a treat if you're using clicker training. Remember that your response must be immediate. The faster you reward him, the better he'll understand the relationship between command, behavior, and reward. Once he's mastered the command, you shouldn't give him treats for performing it; however, you should still use your clicker or give verbal praise.  Weaning the dog off treats is important because he may start to expect...

TL;DR in English: Understand the purpose of the "listen" command. Prepare a handful of treats. Stand near your dog. Say "Listen" in a quiet but firm voice. Don't raise your voice to get his attention. Give an immediate reward for the desired response. Discontinue treats eventually.

There’s a good chance that whatever you wear is going to get dirty or torn, so wear older garments that you don’t mind ruining. Comfortable clothing will allow you to move around freely, which can be helpful should you have to do any climbing or other maneuvering. It’s also a good idea to pull on a pair of thick-soled, closed-toed shoes or boots to protect your feet from sharp exposed edges.  Wear pants and tops with long sleeves to minimize your exposure to unsanitary messes.  If you’re going to actually enter the dumpster, wear sturdy fabrics like denim, nylon or leather and keep as much of your body covered as possible. Remove any accessories you don’t want to lose before you get inside. Feel free to bring along anything else that you think might come in handy, like a pair of thick gloves or a small stepping stool or milk crate to help you get up into the dumpster. Night dives should be accompanied by a flashlight or headlamp to make it easier to see. Don’t forget to also bring some kind of spacious container to stash your discoveries in.  A durable canvas laundry bag can make a great way to transport your finds back home. Use a long pole to poke around in the trash until something catches your attention. If you’re careful enough, there may be no need to get inside the receptacle at all. Flashlights may also be necessary during the daytime if the dumpster is especially deep or situated in the shade. While you may be tempted to bring back anything and everything of potential value from your dive, it’s best to limit your haul to the things you have a specific need for. Otherwise, useless items will just accumulate and eventually find their way into the trash again.  Organize your finds into a few separate piles: things you can use, things other people might be able to use and things you can sell.  If you don’t find anything worth keeping, cut your losses and move on to the next spot. As mentioned, dumpster diving is looked upon with notoriety. If you’re not paying attention, you may end up being surprised by...

If your friend has been saying or doing concerning things, let them know that you’ve noticed and that you’re worried about them. Avoid getting upset or emotional when you do this as it may cause them to feel worse. Just tell your friend what you are concerned about in a straightforward manner.  For example, you might say something like, “John, I’ve noticed that you stopped coming to game nights and that you are spending most of your time alone. I’m worried about you.” Some examples of concerning behavior may include withdrawing, acting sad, self-harming, using drugs, gambling, or having unsafe sex. It’s important not to put too much pressure on your friend to talk, but letting them know that you’re there for them if they need you can help to reassure them. Offer to help them in any way that you can. Try saying something like, “I’m here for you if you ever want to talk,” or, “Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.” to your friend if they want to talk with you. Give your friend your undivided attention if they want to talk, such as by putting away your phone and shutting off the TV or your computer. Face them and make eye contact with them. While your friend is talking, pay close attention to what they say and nod to show you are hearing them. You can also rephrase what they say now and then to show you’re paying attention. For example, you might say something like, “It sounds like you’re saying that you haven’t felt happy in a while. Is that right?” with your friend to gain insight into what they’re feeling. Empathy is a way of understanding other people’s feelings by putting yourself into their shoes. Try to imagine how you’d feel if you were going through what your friend has experienced or described. You might feel sad, angry, confused, lonely, or all of these things at once. Be sensitive to your friend’s emotions as you listen and respond to them. For example, if your friend shares with you that they have been feeling depressed since the death of a family pet, imagine how you might feel if your...

Sports drinks, sodas, and flavored teas or lemonades are usually packed to the brim with HFCS. Be wary when choosing diet or “zero” drinks as well, since they often contain artificial sweeteners. If you must get your soda fix, buy drinks from bottlers who’ve chosen to use only natural cane sugar. Check the Passover section of your supermarket. Some soda companies produce a sugar/sucrose-based version of their products around Passover for Jews who are restricted by custom from eating corn during this time. HFCS is hidden throughout many different types of fast food to increase flavor. Aside from the obvious areas, like sweets, you’ll also find HFCS in burgers, chicken patties, and other surprising foods. Eat foods made from natural ingredients at home to control what goes into the final product. It’s good that you are trying to eat at home, but don’t make the mistake of taking the easy route with boxed meals. If HFCS is not in the main part of the meal, such as the pasta in boxed macaroni and cheese, then it is likely in the sauce packet. If you are looking for a meal shortcut without HFCS, buy precooked main dishes, like roasted chicken, from your local deli. Some granola bars actually have more sugar than their chocolate counterparts. Try replacing a sugar-filled cereal with steel-cut oatmeal instead.

TL;DR in English: Avoid canned or bottled beverages. Avoid fast food. Avoid boxed or prepackaged meals. Use caution when buying breakfast cereals and granola bars.

Premenstrual symptoms (PMS) are caused by hormonal changes in your body and they typically occur in the days immediately before your period starts. Some girls experience severe premenstrual symptoms, while other girls do not notice any symptoms at all. The severity of your premenstrual symptoms might also change as you get older. There is no guarantee that you will experience any of these symptoms before your first period, but if you do experience them, there is a good chance that your period is coming! Many girls experience a soreness, tenderness, or swollen feeling in their breasts right before their periods. If you notice this, you should expect your period to come soon. Some girls also experience emotional changes in the days leading up to their periods. It is different for everyone, but you might feel unusually sad, angry, or irritable. These feelings will typically go away in a few days. Acne can occur at any time, so it is not necessarily a sign that your period is coming. However, if you notice a sudden increase in the amount of breakouts you have over a short period of time, it may mean that you will get your period in the next few days. You may experience cramping in your lower abdomen or lower back or a bloated feeling in your stomach right before and/or during your period. These symptoms can range from mild to severe, and they may not be the same every month.  If you experience severe cramps that interfere with your daily activities, you may want to treat them with an over-the-counter pain reliever. Exercise and heating pads can also help reduce your cramps. Talk to your doctor if the cramps are severe and not improved by taking over-the-counter medications.

TL;DR in English: Understand premenstrual symptoms. Be aware of breast tenderness. Watch out for moodiness. Look for acne. Notice cramps.

Protective, waterproof undergarments can limit the frequency of wetting the bedding and mattress. However, some argue that this may interfere with the child’s motivation to be dry. On the other hand, changing soaked bedding and pajamas once or more a night quickly becomes very tedious. For this reason, protective undergarments might be seen as a necessary part of treatment. Here's a solution to consider that embraces both strategies:  Purchase both washable, absorbent cloth underwear and vinyl pants. Cloth underwear is worn under the vinyl pants. This allows the child to be able to feel wet, while limiting or preventing urine from soaking everything else. Keep in mind that different strategies may work for different kids or one might work better at particular times (such as when traveling or visiting others). To protect expensive mattresses from stains and odors, which can be particularly difficult to remove, try a waterproof mattress cover. These covers protect the mattress from urine and can easily be cleaned and deodorized. What's more, they're relatively inexpensive—especially vinyl mattress covers.  Mattress covers come in several sizes. Fitted covers fit the same way a fitted mattress sheet fits, with elastic to hold the cover onto the mattress from underneath. Zippered covers encase the entire mattress and zip closed for a secure fit that won't come loose from tossing and turning in the night. Deep mattress covers are sized to fit mattresses that are especially thick, such as pillow-top mattresses. Protective bedding comes in several forms, all effective in protecting the mattress and/or bedding. With many products available, you'll be able to find one that easily fits your budget and needs. These can be used over or under the fitted sheets on your child's mattress—they are the same thing just used in different ways. These products are also known as “rubber sheets.” A waterproof layer is situated under an absorbent material to protect bedding as the absorbent material is soaked with any urine.  The...

TL;DR in English: Try protective undergarments. Consider using a mattress cover. Try an underpad or overlay.

Set the shark pieces in the bag, then top them with a few lemon slices. Store the pieces, giving them plenty of time to absorb the lemon juice. The shark’s age when it is caught can affect how it tastes. Older sharks tend to have a gamey flavor. Lemons help neutralize the unpleasant flavor and prepare the meat for searing. Pour about 2 US tbsp (30 mL) of olive oil in the pan, then add 2 tablespoons (28.4 g) of butter. Allow the butter to melt. Continue heating the pan until the oil shimmers and slides easily around the pan.  Baking the shark in the oven is also possible. Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204 °C), then cook the shark between 10 to 12 minutes.  To fry the shark, coat it in flour, then cook it in vegetable oil or shortening. Lay the shark pieces out on a flat surface, then rub a spice mix over each side. A Cajun spice mix is an example of the flavors you can aim for. Add about 1 tablespoon (8.0 g) of the mix to each side of the meat. Also add 2 chopped up cloves of garlic. To make a Cajun spice mix at home, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Fit the shark pieces into the pan and wait for them to turn white and then a little brown on the bottom. Turn the pieces over with a spatula. When they are done cooking, they will look white and flakey. Set them aside on a plate when they’re done.  Test the shark with a knife or fork. In particular, pay attention to the center of each piece. Make sure it is cooked all the way through. The cooking time may vary depending on your oven and the heat setting you chose. Pour about 1⁄4  c (59 mL) of either liquid into the pan. Stir the liquid in the pan to mix in any of the juice and meat left over from the shark. Continue cooking the liquid until it thickens into a nice sauce you can pour over the shark steaks.  Another option is to melt 1 tablespoon (14.2 g) of butter with 1  c (240 mL) of spiced rum and the juice from 1 lime.  If the shark hasn’t finished cooking yet, you can add the liquids while it is...

TL;DR in English: Refrigerate the shark in a bag with lemon slices for 30 minutes. Heat olive oil and butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Season the meat with salt, pepper, and spices. Cook the steaks about 6 minutes per side. Cook white wine or broth in the pan for 3 to 5 minutes. Store the leftovers for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.

The pain and other symptoms of spondylosis, whether acute or chronic, can be treated with home methods. Generally, the pain caused by spondylosis frequently improves after a few days. One good way to treat the pain is to use over-the-counter pain relievers.  Examples of OTC meds that help with this condition include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin (Bayer, Ecotrin), ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), and naproxen (Aleve).  Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is another medicine that may also be helpful as a pain reliever. Acetaminophen is a safer option for individuals with a history of asthma, high blood pressure, liver disease, heart disease, or stomach ulcers. Topical pain relievers can complement or be used an alternative to oral pain relievers. They can be administered in multiple ways, such as in creams, foams, gels, roll-ons, sprays, and sticks.  The most common ingredients found in this class of medication are:  Counterirritants. Examples of counterirritants include camphor, menthol, and methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen). They work by creating a cooling or burning sensation that distracts an individual’s mind away from the pain. Popular brands include Bengay, IcyHot, and Tiger Balm. Capsaicin. Capsaicin is obtained from chili peppers and has been found to be very effective for topical pain relief. It causes a tingling or burning sensation upon the skin and may take several days before it actually relieves pain. Popular brands include Capzasin and Zostrix. Salicylates. Salicylates give aspirin its pain relieving qualities. They may be absorbed into the skin for local pain relief. A popular brand of topical salicylate is Aspercreme. There are several varieties of prescription-strength pain medications that your doctor may give you to treat the pain associated with this condition when non-prescription drugs are no longer sufficient. Your doctor may prescribe prescription-strength NSAIDs that will reduce any inflammation associated with spondylosis. Popular prescription NSAIDs include...

TL;DR in English: Try over-the-counter pain relievers. Use a topical pain reliever. Get a prescription medication. Try muscle relaxants. Talk to your doctor about a narcotic pain medicine. Ask about anti-seizure or antidepressant medications. Get an epidural steroid injection. Determine if you need surgery. Talk to your doctor about spinal decompression surgery.

There are many online templates (for free or for purchase), as well as entire websites dedicated to creating restaurant menus. Even if you have a good sense of what you want, looking through different templates can inspire you or focus your design goals. Choose 1-2 templates that you really like.  If you have access to Microsoft word, Powerpoint, or any Adobe Suite programs, there are many menu templates in these formats available online. Websites like Canva and Must Have Menus offer some free templates, and others for a fee. Programs like iMenu offer drag-and-drop menu templates, but programs like this are not usually free. For a fancy restaurant, dark colors will convey a sense of seriousness and professionalism. At a casual restaurant, warm, muted colors will look appropriately inviting. At a restaurant with a young clientele or a zanier theme, bright colors will usually make the most sense. Unless you’re not happy with the interior design or plan on changing it, making the menus match (or at least complement) the restaurant itself is probably the safest bet. Your menu could be horizontal or vertical. It could be housed on a wooden clipboard, placed into a binder, presented as a placemat, or any number of other options.  A family diner might use a menu placemat. A brunch spot might use little wooden clipboards to present menus. An upscale bistro might have folding menus encased in clear binders. Once you have the look you want, look for a menu template online and plug all of your information in as-needed. Opt for a simple design of possible, and try 2 templates before sticking with one. Some other common things to keep in mind as you choose your template:  Keep your fonts simple. Don’t use more than 3 fonts on the menu. Check to see if any of the pages seems lopsided. Try to provide the same amount of information on each page. You can find menu templates on Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or online. If you have the means, hiring a professional designer can be a good option. A designer will be able to...

TL;DR in English: Browse menu templates to get ideas. Choose a color scheme that matches the style of the restaurant. Select a presentation style that fits with your restaurant’s concept. Use a menu template for an easier menu design. Consider hiring a graphic designer. Take pictures of the food yourself to create an appetizing menu. Forego food images to keep your menu simple.

You'll need a metal yardstick or meter stick, a thick dowel with a diameter the same as the width of your ruler, rough steel wool, sandpaper, primer, and cloth or duct tape for wrapping the grip, as well as contact cement or metal epoxy adhesive. You'll be using a saw to cut and split your dowel; a vise clamp is also recommended, but not strictly necessary. Use plenty of steel wool and scour the ruler as much as you can to roughen and clean the surface. If your ruler's markings are painted onto the surface, the wool might also get rid of them; feel free to scour them away, if this is the case. When you're done, wipe the ruler clean with a dry cloth. Measure out a length of dowel that will work well as a handgrip, and cut that piece off the end of the dowel. Measure and mark across one end at the midway point, then carefully saw the dowel into two even, semi-cylindrical halves, using a saw guide to hold the dowel steady. Lightly sand the flat insides of each dowel half with very fine grit sandpaper. Following the instructions for your metal epoxy or contact cement, evenly glue one half of the dowel to each flat side of the base of the ruler, and let it dry completely. If you have a vise clamp, clamp the pieces firmly (without damaging the soft wood) and let it dry that way to improve the bond. Once the dowel grip is secure, sand away any excess glue from the seams, and then heft it in your hand. If the grip feels awkward, try sanding down the sides a little bit at a time, alternating evenly on each side, until the grip becomes a bit more oblong and can be held more easily. When you're satisfied, cover the grip with painter's tape and spray a coat of primer onto one side of the blade, then the other. Apply another coat to completely obscure any markings on the ruler. Let both coats dry completely. Remove the painter's tape from the grip and sand it with ultra-fine grit sandpaper to remove potential splinters, then wrap it in adhesive medical tape, duct tape, or leather cord to make a soft grip. Your new katana...

TL;DR in English: Purchase your supplies. Scour your ruler. Cut the dowel. Attach the dowel grip. Sand and prime. Wrap the grip.

Despite the fact that ciao (chow) is perhaps one of the most universally known Italian greetings, it is used exclusively with friends and family who you know very well. Ciao is never used with strangers. You should also never use it with people who are older than you or in a position of authority – you'll be seen as rude.  You may also be familiar with the phrase ciao bella (chow BEHL-lah), which means "hello beautiful." This phrase is typically used flirtatiously, although it may also be used among friends. Be careful using it with acquaintances, however – they might get the wrong idea.  Ciao can be used both when you arrive and when you depart, as a "hello" or a "goodbye."  Salve (SAHL-veh) means "hi," and is generally appropriate in any situation. While many words and phrases in Italian are considered either polite and formal or casual and informal, salve is used in both contexts. If you've known someone for a long time and are very close to them, they will likely consider salve too formal. In that situation, you'd be better off using ciao. Bella technically means "beautiful," or even "nice," but young people in Italy also use it as a generic greeting, similar to ciao. This is relatively youthful slang, however, so avoid using it with people over 30, or if you are over 30 yourself. You'll sound immature.  Bella is often followed by an Italian word that means "guys" or "dudes," such as bella lì or bella zio. No one's going to look at you strangely if you simply say come sta. But if you want to sound a little cooler and blend in more with Italian friends your age, you might try come butta (KOH-meh BOOT-tah), which is a bit more casual. Avoid this type of slang in public settings, such as if you're greeting a server at a restaurant, even if they seem to be around your age or younger. In that setting, this phrase can be considered too direct and the person might take it as rude or even condescending.

TL;DR in English: Use ciao to greet friends. Greet a group of friends by saying ciao a tutti. Switch to salve if you're unsure about the context. Say bella when greeting younger people. Add come butta to ask the person "what's up" in Italian.

Set a nonstick skillet or tava on your stove. Turn the heat on to medium. Allow the skillet to fully heat before you add your paratha. Melt another 7 teaspoons (33 g) of ghee. Dip the pastry brush in the ghee and brush some over each paratha circle. Turn the parathas over and brush the other side with ghee. Place one paratha in the heated skillet or tava. Cook the paratha for about 5 to 10 seconds. Use tongs to carefully flip it over and cook it for 10 to 15 seconds on the other side. Keep turning and cooking the paratha until both sides are lightly golden brown. This should take less than a full minute for each paratha. Serve the lachha parathas while they're warm. Store leftover parathas at room temperature for up to one day. You could also store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.

TL;DR in English:


Use a clear voice. Listen in addition to speaking. Speak your mind without apology. Do not attack or threaten others. Express gratitude. Maintain eye contact.

Set your oven’s temperature to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (130 degrees Celsius), and let it heat fully so it’s warm enough to dry the pretzels. Next, place a wire cooling rack on a large baking sheet for the pretzels to dry on. Line the baking sheet with foil, parchment paper, or wax paper before placing the cooling rack on it. You’ll have less mess to clean up that way. Place 1 cup (175 g) of white melting chocolates or chips into a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat the white chocolate on high in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval. Continue until the white chocolate is completely melted. You can melt the white chocolate in a double boiler if you prefer. Place ½ cup (125 g) of blueberry yogurt in one medium bowl and ½ cup (125 g) of vanilla yogurt in a separate bowl. Next, add a 2 ½ cups (312 g) of powdered sugar to each bowl, and mix until it’s fully incorporated into each yogurt flavor. You can use any flavors of yogurt that you like for the pretzels. If you prefer, you can also use 1 full cup (250 g) of a single flavor of yogurt and mix all of the powdered sugar into it. When the powdered sugar is fully mixed into each flavor of yogurt, add half of the melted white chocolate to the blueberry yogurt mixture and the other half to the vanilla yogurt mixture. Stir well until the white chocolate is fully incorporated into each mixture. When each flavor of the yogurt mixture is fully blended, coat 1 16 ounce (454 g) bag of miniature pretzels in the two flavors. Use a pair of tongs to dip the pretzels and lif them to set them on the cooling rack to dry. You can coat half of the pretzels in the blueberry flavored yogurt mixture and the other half in the vanilla, or break the flavors up to have more of your favorite. Once all of the pretzels are coated, shut off your oven. Set the baking sheet with the pretzels inside, and leave the door slightly open. Allow the pretzels to set for 3 to 4 hours before serving them. Store your leftover pretzels in an airtight container. They should stay fresh for 2 to 3 days.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven and set a cooling rack on a baking sheet. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Combine half of the powdered sugar with each yogurt flavor. Divide the white chocolate between the yogurt mixtures. Dip the pretzels into the yogurt mixture of your choice and set on the rack. Turn the oven off and place the baking sheet in the oven to dry the pretzels. Finished.

In these scams, the scam artist poses as an employer, gains the trust of the person being scammed, and then obtains access to their bank account by either:  Asking for bank account information in order to make direct deposit payments. “Hiring” the person being scammed to deposit checks for them and then wire them the cash. The problem with this scam is that the original check provided by the “employer” is a fake one, and by the time the banks figure it out the person being scammed has already withdrawn and sent the cash, and so becomes responsible for paying back the bank while the fake employer gets away with the money. In some cases, a scam artist might send an email to you posing as an employer who found your resume online and who has a potential employment opportunity for you.  They’ll typically invite you to complete a fake online job application that asks for sensitive personal or financial information. They can then use this information to access your bank accounts or other personal accounts in order to get money from you. There are a huge number of scams that focus on convincing people that they need to provide some sort of sensitive personal information such as a driver’s license number, a PIN, passport information, bank account numbers, credit or debit card numbers, or social security numbers.  These scams will usually try to convince you that you need to provide this information in order to move forward with a job application or to access some service that you think you’re purchasing. Most legitimate businesses and employers will not ask for this type of information, and if they do, they’ll do it in a secure, documented, and traceable way. There are a number of websites that offer to help you file for unemployment benefits in exchange for a small service fee.  These sites are scams designed to take not only the money you pay them as a fee, but also to obtain important personal data such as your name, address, phone number, email, and other sensitive information that can then be used to access your...

TL;DR in English: Learn about payment transfer scams. Watch out for scams disguised as job invitations. Beware scams that ask for personal ID verification. Understand unemployment benefit scams. Beware scams that offer overseas job opportunities. Watch out for scams posing as the government.

Oxford and Cambridge are great places to study and look very good on a CV. One in five member of the Parliament actually went to Oxbridge! In a few cases, you may wish to consider top universities overseas, or another university for a specialist degree (e.g. Mechanical Engineering). You might also want to study in another European country to enjoy other cultures or learn a language.  Make sure to visit Oxford and Cambridge. You can access the colleges and talk to the students. You can also contact the universities and colleges through their webpages or by phone. Don't send emails to the lecturers and professors. They don't deal with general queries and are already busy enough. If you haven't studied in the United Kingdom before, look at the criteria online or contact the admission teams. They have very specific criteria for each country on the planet. Your A-Levels will determine if you are admitted or not. As a teenager, you will be expected to work over 40 hours a week for some subjects, so make sure you are willing to dedicate yourself to the hard work.  Your A-Level results are extremely important. If you feel you will be able to achieve highly when taking more than three A-Level results, then feel free to do so. However, the number of results is far less important than the grades. It is better to do better with three A levels (at least AAA or higher, dependent on course and university), than to do less well with four or more. Most Admissions Tutors will agree with this. It is not mandatory to disclaim your GCSE grades but they are often used to distinguish between entrants due to the high number of A's achieved at A level. As they are not mandatory, there is officially no level to reach. In practice, the better they are, the more likely you are to be accepted. Your choice of A-Levels needs to reflect your desire to study a discipline. You cannot study medicine if you never had an interest in science. It’s always a good idea to check in advance what is needed in your aspiring field. It's also a great idea...

TL;DR in English: Decide if Oxbridge is right for you. Decide if you are willing to commit yourself early. Decide what you want to study at University. Consider rounding out your application with extracurricular activities.

Your asthma action plan should clearly indicate when you should encourage a child to use their rescue albuterol inhaler. Whether your system uses a symptoms-severity scale or a minimum peak flow reading, know the symptoms of a full-blown attack in your child and treat it using the correct short-term medications. You can determine what caused the attack later. if the child appears to have significant trouble breathing or persistent coughing or wheezing. This can indicate an asthma emergency, which can be life-threatening. Signs that a child is having a very difficult time breathing include:  Having trouble speaking without gasping Using abdominal muscles to breathe Having flared nostrils while inhaling Leaning forward in a sitting position to breathe Breathing in so hard the stomach is sucked in beneath the ribs (especially in children under age 5)  Breathing faster than usual Your asthma action plan should indicate what level of peak flow reading indicates an asthma emergency. Anything in the red zone should prompt you to call your doctor or visit the ER. If this is accompanied by serious symptoms, you may want to call emergency services. While waiting to receive emergency care, follow your asthma action plan until you are able to get medical attention. For example, if you visit the ER, do whatever rescue procedures are listed on your plan during the drive there and while you wait to see a doctor. If the child uses their rescue inhaler and symptoms don’t improve, it’s probably an asthma emergency. Call for help or go find assistance immediately. Having an asthma attack or emergency can be frightening for a child, and anxiety can only make matters worse. While waiting for rescue meds to work or emergency services to arrive, try to keep the child calm. Remain calm yourself so as not to frighten the child further. Talk to them calmly, help them into a sitting position, inform them that help is on the way, and reinforce that everything will be okay. If the child is panicking, help them use their inhaler. Most...

TL;DR in English: Use your action plan to recognize when to use rescue medications. Get emergency help Seek immediate medical attention if the peak flow meter reading is in the red zone. Get help immediately if their rescue inhaler doesn’t improve symptoms. Try to calm and comfort the child.

Vacuuming your carpet is probably the easiest and best way to keep it clean. Invest in a high quality vacuum that is designed for use on carpets. Look for an upright model with a big canister and a beater-bar head. The motor should have enough power to suck up dirt, sand, and debris in the carpet. Look for high quality vacuums online or in stores. If you are shopping in stores, try several models with a salesperson and ask them for recommendations on high quality vacuums in your price range. Designate one day a week as vacuum day for the carpets. Do a thorough vacuum of the carpets at least once a week to remove dirt and oil. Often, dirt is the main cause of smells and discoloration that develops on carpets. For example, you may vacuum the carpets every Sunday. Let others in your household know it is vacuum day and do a good clean of the carpeting in your home. Try to vacuum any high traffic areas of the carpet once a day, preferably at the end of the day. This will keep these areas clean and maintained, especially if they are walked on often. Areas like the living room, the bedroom, and by any doors in your home are usually walked on a lot in the course of a day. For example, you may keep a small handheld vacuum on hand to do these areas quickly before going to bed at night.

TL;DR in English: Get a high quality vacuum. Vacuum on a weekly basis. Clean high traffic areas once a day.

Fumbling over your words, or speaking too soft or loud, makes you look uncontrolled. Conversely, a clear and controlled voice can exude confidence. Try to speak in a manner that allows others to easily understand your words.  Use a clear voice both in work settings and personal conversations in order to appear confident. Stay aware of your tone when you talk so you avoid whispering or stammering. If you're nervous by nature, it can take some practice to get the right speaking tone. Try practicing speaking in front of a mirror. You can also record yourself talking and play it back to yourself to see if your tone is clear and easily understandable. Being confident does not mean being loud or argumentative. Confident people are secure enough in themselves and their opinions that they don't feel the need to dominate the conversations. Always give others a chance to speak. Allowing someone to politely disagree with you actually makes you look more confident.  Strive to allow others to talk at least as much as you do. After you finish a sentence or make a point, pause to allow the other person to respond. Show that you're listening as well. Use non-verbal cues, such as nodding and smiling when appropriate, to demonstrate you're paying attention to the other person. Oftentimes, people who are nervous by nature have a tendency to either avoid or diminish expressing their opinion. You may, for example, not speak up when you disagree, or begin by saying, "I'm sorry to disagree, but..." Work on simply speaking your mind. You do not have to be rude or aggressive, but be comfortable sharing your thoughts without filter.  Instead of apologizing when sharing your convictions, get straight to the point. Say something like, "Actually, I see the situation differently" and then proceed to explain. It's okay to appear passionate. Having strong passions is a form of confidence. Being aggressive and being confident are two different things. If you get angry or hostile when others challenge you, this makes you look insecure in...

Commit to yoga, mind and body. Focus on meditation. Try fasting.

When you start working on your index, you may want to use printed proof pages, or work directly from the computer screen. A searchable PDF will help you find the words you're indexing without disturbing the text. Typically, if you index from a hard copy you'll have to transfer your work to a digital file. If the work is particularly long, try to work straight from the computer so you can skip this extra step. Generally speaking, you'll want to index the entire text of your work, including the introduction and any footnotes or endnotes that expand on the content of the text. Typically, indexed items are nouns, like ideas, concepts, and things, that contribute to the subject of the text.  If footnotes or endnotes are merely source citations, they don't need to be included in the index. Generally, you don't need to index glossaries, bibliographies, acknowledgements, or illustrative items such as charts and graphs. If you're not sure whether something should be indexed, ask yourself if it contributes something substantial to the text. If it doesn't, it typically doesn't need to be indexed. Some publishers may require you to index any authors cited, either in text or footnotes. This may require a separate index, or they may be included in your general index. Check with your advisor or editor if you're not sure. In most cases, if you have a "works cited" section appearing at the end of your text you won't need to index authors. You would still include their names in the general index, however, if you discussed them in the text rather than simply citing their work. As you read through your work, make a list of the keywords or main concepts discussed in the text. Many of these you may already know off the top of your head. Creating an index card for each individual entry can help you sort and organize the entries before typing them up.  For example, if you're writing a book on bicycle maintenance, you might have index cards for "gears," "wheels," and "chain." Put yourself in your reader's shoes, and ask yourself why...

TL;DR in English: Choose your indexing source. Decide what needs to be indexed. List cited authors if necessary. Create index cards for entries if you’re indexing by hand. Use nouns for the main headings of entries. Include subentries for entries with 5 or more pointers. Identify potential cross references.

Sit down with every member of your household and go over your finances. How you resolve and differences in your approach to money will have a profound effect on your relationship's chances of succeeding. Now is the perfect time to set an example for your children, and show them how a family can pull together during tough times and everyone can chip in. . There are many ways to cut expenses during a recession. In many cases, you can maintain your same quality of life while focusing on living lean and cutting out extravagant and unnecessary expenses.  Cut discretionary spending. Buy nothing if you don't need it to live. Resist sales pitches. Don't even think about using that new credit card offer in the mail, even if it does have a low APR and no payments for two years, you should evaluate it carefully.  Transportation: Carpool as much as you can. Consider commuting by bicycle or even living without a car. But if that's not practical, look for ways to save money on gas. Housing: Get a roommate or consider relocating to an area with a lower cost of living. Maybe you can move in with family members until the economic downturn blows over. Keeping the peace in a multigenerational household isn't always easy, but it has its own rewards.  Food: Stop going out to eat; instead, try to cook at home from scratch more often. Consider the benefits of the slow food movement. If you don't have enough time to cook, try doing it just once a month. Find good deals at a local farmers' market. If you have a job, be an amazing employee. Now is not the time to slack. Show up early, stay late, and volunteer for projects. Pick up the slack for other workers; it's what will happen when people get laid off, anyway, so now is the time to prove yourself. Look for ways to save your employer money, especially if you see your employer doing little things to that effect, like encouraging employees to turn of their computers. Try to quantify your efforts in terms of how you've raised profits and cut costs. Start networking so that in case you...

Exfoliating prior to shaving and after should become integral to your shaving routine. The first step aligns the hairs and gets rid of dead skin cells to get a smoother more even cut and the second time around wipes away all the up-churned bacteria and skin that can clog otherwise clean pores. So if you have razor bumps already, exfoliating will force away the very top layer of dead skin cells, in time exposing the hair that is curled up underneath. The more you exfoliate, the quicker this process will go. Every time you shave, you should finish off with a moisturizer. Aloe vera, baby oil, or any non-scented, non-perfumed lotion will do. But to treat razor bumps, consider also using a razor bump cream or other, anti-inflammatory cream. Hydrocortisone creams, retin-A creams, and products like Neosporin will reduce redness and itch. Products with salicylic acid or glycolic acid (for in razor bump creams) will eliminate the top layer of skin, to get rid of the ingrown hair. ). Some people have very sensitive skin, especially around their pubic area. To avoid the razor but still be hairless, switch to waxing. However, know that waxing can lead to histamine reactions and ingrown hairs, too -- so take the pain with a grain of salt. The other option is not to shave. Yeah, yeah, yeah, not an option. But really, would you rather have some hair growing in or little red bumps? Because right now it's one or the other. Try skipping a few days between shaves if you shave often. You'll live. You want to avoid as many possible irritants as possible when you've got a case of the bumps, and tight clothing is at the top of that list. Wearing tight undies doesn't let your skin breathe and as a result, the skin clogs, bacteria gets trapped, and the problems get worse. No thank you! Go for loose clothing if you can, too. The bumps around your thighs won't benefit from tight jeans or leggings. If anyone asks why you're wearing sweats, well, for starters it's none of their business. But you can tell them you're running a wikiHow...

TL;DR in English: Exfoliate all the time. Use creams and lotions to fight the redness and itch. Change to waxing (or don't shave! Wear loose underwear. Whip up a home remedy.

Rats like to play with just about everything, but avoid providing these types of toys or your rat could get itself caught and seriously hurt itself. Rats like to drag their tails behind them, so it could get caught in a battery-powered toy or on a sharp piece of metal. Opt for soft, rounded toys instead. A rat wheel is one of the few exceptions to this. As long as the inside panel is completely covered, the rat shouldn't get its tail stuck in any moving parts. Buy a wheel specially made for rats, as mouse and hamster wheels are just too small for them to use. Cut out some rat-sized holes in a few small boxes, such as shoe boxes, and arrange them on top of each other randomly to create a tall structure for your rats to explore. Cut some holes in the tops of the boxes too so your rats can crawl around inside the fort. Arrange other accessories as you see fit, like small pieces of fabric to create curtains, or strips of cardboard to make ladders. Add treats wrapped in paper to the inside of the fort, which entices your rats into exploring for hidden treasure! PVC pipe is perfect for creating elaborate mazes for your rats. Go to your local hardware store for a variety of at least 2.5 in (6.4 cm) wide PVC pipes. Connect angled pipes, straight pipes, and pipe connectors together in random arrangements to create a tunnel maze. You can also make fabric tunnels by cutting the legs or sleeves of old clothes and stuffing them with toilet paper tubes.  PVC pipe is better for rats who like to chew a lot, whereas a fabric tunnel lets you keep an eye on where your rat is at in the maze. Simply disconnect the PVC pipes from each other when you are ready to take down the rat play area — you can create a different maze pattern next time you let the rats out! Fill a shallow dish, no more than 1 in (2.5 cm) deep, halfway with water. Place some rocks big enough to poke out of the water, and add some frozen peas. Your water-loving rats will love the chance to get wet and get a snack at the same time, while your water-fearing rats...

TL;DR in English: Use only toys and accessories with no sharp edges or moving parts. Build a cardboard "rat fort" inside the play area. Add some PVC pipe or fabric tunnels for your rat to crawl through. Create a pea fishing pond with a shallow dish and rocks. Add a small bin of trash for your rats to root around in. Create a digging pit with a plastic container, dirt, and veggie sprouts.

While not necessary, a template will save you some work by setting up the timeline structure for you. You can check whether you already have a timeline template by browsing options in the File → New or File → New from Template commands. Otherwise, search online for user-created timeline templates. If you don't want to use a template, continue on to the next step. If your timeline tracks the progress of a multi-branched project, consider looking for "Gantt chart" templates instead. You can set up a basic timeline with an ordinary blank spreadsheet. Type the dates of your timeline in one row, spacing them out with blank cells roughly in proportion to the time between them. In the cell directly above or below each date, write a description of the event that happened on that date. Don't worry if it looks sloppy. Alternating descriptions above and below the date tend to make the most readable timelines. Select the row containing your descriptions. Click the Home tab in the ribbon menu, then look for the Orientation button under the Alignment group. (In some versions, the Orientation button looks like the letters abc.) Click this button and select one of the angled text options. The rotated text should make your descriptions fit the timeline. If you are using Excel 2003 or earlier, instead right-click the selected cells. Select Format Cells, then the Alignment tab. Type in the number of degrees you'd like the text to rotate, then click OK.

TL;DR in English: Consider downloading a template. Start your own timeline from ordinary cells. Write your timeline entries. Angle the descriptions.

Most people who do yoga use it for physical exercise. There’s nothing wrong with this approach, but it leaves out yoga’s traditional mental and spiritual sides. If you are serious about being a yogi, learn more about the whole experience.  Total yoga is “a system for relieving suffering of the mind.” Traditionally, yogis held that people suffer because of their egos, which strive for control.  By teaching us how to calm the mind and quell the ego, yoga lets us live as we truly are and in harmony with the surrounding world. If you are interested in the inner secrets of yoga, consider reading classical texts like the Yoga Sutra or the Bhagavad Gita or modern takes like Yoga: the Greater Tradition. One thing that you can do to connect to yoga’s spiritual side is to meditate. Meditation is a mix of concentration and breathing that, if done right, can help you to reach a different state of consciousness, where the mind is alert, relaxed, and directed inward.  As part of yoga, meditation can reduce stress, lessen pain, and help you manage anxiety. But meditation can also open your mind. Try to find a quiet spot and sit comfortably, with your spine erect. Close your eyes and take deep breaths. Focus on your breathing, in and out, and let your attention rest on the rhythm. It is OK if your mind wanders, but always bring it back to your breathing.  Don’t expect to “get” anything out of meditation or to feel better or worse. The point is precisely the opposite – to free you from worldly anxieties and concerns. Also, don’t worry that you are doing it wrong – there is no “wrong way” to meditate! You may have heard that fasting is good for you physically. Many people believe that it allows your body to “detox” and somehow expel harmful toxins. While the evidence for this is spotty, fasting is practiced in yoga and other spiritual traditions to help develop willpower and focus the mind. Trying it might help you to reach a higher level in your journey.  The idea behind spiritual fasting is not just to skip a few meals, but...
