Pick a theme and decorate accordingly. Cover the table. Use appropriate dishes. Include something fun.

Before you deep clean your floor, sweep any specks of dust, crumbs, and garbage that might be on the floor. Last of all, take out the trash. You should do this last because while you are cleaning you will undoubtedly find things you will want to throw away. Wash the trash can with soap and water. Replace the bag with a new one.

TL;DR in English: Sweep the floor with a broom and dustpan. Take out the trash.

There are a few different types of solar cells to buy, and most good options are either made in the United States, China, or Japan. However, the best cost-to-efficiency option is most likely polycrystalline cells. The number of cells you should buy depends on the amount of energy you’re looking to produce. The specs should be listed when you purchase the cells.  Make sure to buy extras. These cells are extremely fragile. Cells can most easily be bought online through websites like Ebay, but you may be able to purchase some from your local hardware store. It may be necessary to clean wax off of the cells, if the manufacturer ships them in wax. To do this, dip them in hot, but not boiling, water. Each cell shouldn’t cost more than $1.30 per watt. You will need a thin board made out of a non-conductive material, such as glass, plastic, or wood, to attach the cells to. Lay out the cells in the arrangement you will use, then measure the dimensions and cut a board to that size.  Leave an extra inch or two at both ends of the board. This space will be used for the wires that connect the rows together. Wood is a more common backing material to choose because it’s easier to drill through. You’ll need to drill holes in it for the cell wires to pass through. When you look at your polycrystalline cells, you’ll see a large number of small lines going in one direction (the long distance) and two larger lines going in the other direction (the short distance). You will need to connect tabbing wire to run down the two larger lines and connect to the back of the next cell in the array. Measure the length of that larger line, double the length, and then cut two pieces for each cell. Using a flux pen, run 2-3 lines of flux down the length of each cell strip, or group of three squares. Make sure to do this on the back of the cells. This will keep the heat of the soldering from causing oxidation. Use a soldering iron to melt a thin coat of solder onto the back of the cell strips. This step is not necessary if you purchase...

TL;DR in English: Purchase the cells. Measure and cut a backing board. Measure and cut all of your tabbing wire. Flux the work area. Solder the tabbing. Bond the wire to the cells.

You should not write down every piece of information in the book.  Nor should you write down one fact per page.  Finding the right balance of writing enough but not too much can be a challenge, but it is the key to taking effective notes.  Using the strategy of reading a paragraph and then summarizing it can help you target the right amount of information. Depending on the subject and the level of the textbook, writing 1-2 sentences of summary per paragraph may be the right ratio of information to note-taking. You should write your notes in your own words.  Paraphrasing information usually shows that you genuinely understood what you read (it’s difficult to put something into your own words if you don’t know what it means).  It will likely be more meaningful to you later when you are reviewing your notes if you have written them in your own words. Your notes may take on the form of a bulleted list of information.  You might draw yourself a timeline of events so that you can see the order that things happened and not just a list of events.  You may draw a kind of flow chart to emphasize a sequence.  Or you might do a more traditional outline with big ideas at one level and then supporting ideas indented underneath.  Ultimately, the notes are your study aid, so it’s best to write them in a way that makes sense to you. Visual learners are often helped by visual representations in their own notes.  You might want to jot down a brief copy of a graph instead of writing information about it.  You may want to draw a simple comic strip to show a specific event or interaction between people.  Don’t let adding visual elements distract you from the task at hand—understanding and taking notes on the text—but add visuals if it will help you synthesize or remember the material more effectively. Depending on the subject, you may want to organize your notes in a particular way.  History notes may be most logically taken in chronological order (or even in the format of a timeline).  Science notes, however, may need to be taken...

TL;DR in English: Be selective but thorough. Paraphrase information from the text. Use a format that works for you. Add visual elements if it helps you. Organize your notes in a meaningful way.

If the alarm remote is not working, use the key directly. Often times opening up the door will stop the alarm. If the driver's side door won't unlock, try the passenger door. Put the key in the ignition, and turn the car on. If this doesn't turn off the alarm, try turning on and off the dashboard lights a few times without revving up the engine. Factory car alarms have some simple reset protocols to help turn off an alarm. Most of the tricks rely on using the key in the door; simply put, a lot of factory car alarms have a door sensor, so working with the door might be the go-to for a quick fix.  Put the key in the driver's door and turn it twice to the right, then twice to the left. Then insert your key into the ignition and start the car.  Turn the key into the unlock position and hold it for two seconds before opening the door. . If the alarm is still sounding after the initial troubleshooting, you'll want to silence the siren as quickly as possible. Car alarms rely on the electronic component of the vehicle, and disconnecting the battery should both silence the siren and reset your alarm. Open up the hood, locate the battery, and with a wrench, remove the negative terminal. Then reconnect it after a minute has passed. If it is more easily accessible you can also unplug the wiring harness that connects to the car's horn or siren. If the horn or siren gets unplugged it can no longer make noise. Locate the alarm and transmitter system; refer to your owner's manual for the exact location. Hit the reset switch or turn it off and on. This should both silence and take the alarm out of commission until the fuse is replaced. Find the alarm fuse in the fuse box. Remove it, and put the fuse in a plastic bag. You can store it in your glove compartment for safe keeping.  If you cannot locate the alarm fuse right away, remove fuses to see if the alarm will stop. Doing this will not cause damage to the car, but make sure you return the fuses after you've determined they are not for the alarm. Some car alarms, when...

TL;DR in English: Unlock the car manually. Turn on your car. Utilize common tricks. Disconnect the battery Reset the alarm unit. Remove the alarm fuse. Press the "panic" or buttons on your keychain remote to stop the alarm. Seek a mechanic if problems persist.

If your recipient has what seems like a few warehouses of small electronics or even just a few, try sewing a case for them. For example, an iPod or iPhone case. See How to Make an iPod cover for details. This method can also be used on many other small electronics. . Use an old clean sock, perhaps one of those whose companion was lost in the blackhole of the washing machine or, if you sew, make a sewn version from an old t-shirt or scrap fabric. Great for all sorts of purposes from toys to back support cushions. . If you are good at sewing, quick and inexpensive gifts can be made when you focus on the accessories. Try making belts, neck ties, hair accessories or shoe bows. . For children and the young-at-heart, hand-made toys will be treasured for years to come. Choose cute fabrics, from vintage to eye-popping colors, dependent on the age and likes of the gift recipient.

This will add to the fun of the party. Let your kid help you decide or surprise them based on their interests. You could do a sports theme or a certain color scheme, you could incorporate their favorite superhero or tv show. The possibilities are endless! Go to a local party store and see what options they have. A lot of times, you can find all of the decor you need that goes with your theme. They might have table cloths, plates, cups, and even goodies that will set a very fun tone for the party. It is important to protect the table from spills or other incidents. You could use a tablecloth that goes with the theme of their party. The kids will love it and it will make your life much easier. Consider using a plain sheet of paper as a table covering. Then place crayons on the table so that the kids can draw and enjoy themselves as they wait for food. You probably don’t want to give your best china to a five year old! If it is a casual birthday party, paper and plastic utensils are perfectly acceptable. If it is a more formal party such as a holiday party that requires a kids’ table, try to tie in the theme of the adult table so that they feel included. You could use the same napkins as the adult table and perhaps even the same tablecloth. That way it will every bit as important as the adult table. This also depends on the age of the kids and the style of the party. Use your judgment to know what they can handle. For young children, use plastic cups instead of glasses and don’t set knives out. Especially if it is a kid’s birthday party, try to make it special. Include a noise maker or funny hats or a small game. Even a little pouch of treats for each child will put a big smile on their face. It is a party, after all.

TL;DR in English:


Know your surroundings. Know the enemy's strength. Learn how can you set up an impenetrable defense. Get to know your units. If you play U.S.A or China, always have your airforce at your disposal. When attacking, maintain a good formation of your units to assure minimal losses. Before attacking an enemy base, heavily bombard it with bombs. When the enemy is engaged in an offensive against you, if you can, try to intercept them and powder them if you can. Watch out for booby traps, land mines and any traps. When building your base, don't let the structures be built too closely to each other. If possible, provide air support to your units at all times.

Have kids learn the proper way to breathe when freestyle swimming through repetition. Before getting in the pool for a lesson, have them practice breathing in through their mouth, then breathing out through their nose. Repeat this exercise until the children get used to the pattern . Let children understand the proper arm strokes for freestyle swimming by acting it out for them and letting them copy you. Lift one arm with the other by your side and bend the wrist of the extended arm downward. Make a propeller motion with this one, then repeat with the other arm. Show kids how to cup their hands during each stroke. Crossover, or overlapping strokes, is a common problem for beginner swimmers. To help children grasp how to swim in a straight line, ask them to picture a vertical line running down the center of their body. Demonstrate how, with each stroke, their hand must enter the water without crossing over to the other side of their body. Pointing your toes and keeping your legs straight help to propel you through the water when swimming. When you are all outside of the pool, give the kids a demonstration on how to point your toes when swimming and have the kids imitate what you do. Later, when they are in the water, have the kids practice pointing their toes and extending their legs while kicking so they get used to doing it. Keeping your back straight while swimming is important to help avoid crossover and injury. Show kids how to improve their posture by having them pull their shoulders back, stomach in, and push their chest forwards. Have them bring their arms up in a "T" or "V" shape and hold this position for 10 seconds. Repeat this 5 times. A big part of swimming is being alert and knowing the right moves, so it is important to go over the theoretical part of swimming with kids. Review everything from basic safety rules, like never swimming without a grownup, to rules about what to do when swimming. Quiz children who are old enough to communicate what they have learned.

TL;DR in English: Practice proper breathing outside of the pool. Demonstrate proper swim strokes outside of the pool. Show kids how to avoid crossover. Teach kids to point their toes and extend their legs as they kick. Have kids do posture improving exercises. Quiz kids about swimming and safety rules.

Some people think that they have to act like someone else to get a person to like them, or always be on guard to protect themselves. However, this is really just tricking that person into thinking you are someone that you are not and never allowing them to get to know the real you. Be willing to let your guard down and let your boyfriend know the real you.   Show your boyfriend your real personality by sharing your interests and hobbies, sharing jokes that you think are funny, sharing what type of music you like, and acting in a way that feels comfortable for you. Share your hopes, dreams, and fears to practice being vulnerable around your boyfriend.  Do not apologize for who you are! If your boyfriend does not understand or appreciate your personality, then perhaps he is not the right guy for you to be dating. Although some people claim to not be creative at all, everyone is creative in unique ways. If it feels challenging for you to communicate verbally, another way to get comfortable around your boyfriend is to express yourself creatively.  Show him artwork that you created, songs that you wrote, poetry that you wrote, and things of that nature. If you are into technology, you could tell him about a video game, website, or app that you are designing. Girls especially struggle with this. There is often a feeling of always needing to look perfect when around your boyfriend. However, displaying confidence even when you do not look perfect helps you to relax around him.  If you are a girl, do not be afraid to spend time with him without any makeup. In fact, many boys and men prefer the way girls and women look without makeup as opposed to with it. Wear clothing that feels comfortable to you. You do not always have to dress to impress; wearing jeans and a t-shirt or even sweatpants, if you are hanging out at home, is perfectly acceptable. One of the most important aspects of any relationship is friendship. The strongest couples are also friends, so if you were not already friends with your boyfriend prior to...

TL;DR in English: Show your true personality and allow yourself to be vulnerable. Express your creativity. Feel confident about your appearance. Become friends with your boyfriend.

You want to serve the steak while it’s still warm. Allowing a round steak to cool too much can compromise the flavor and texture. Serve the steak right after it is done resting for the best possible taste and presentation. You can store leftovers in an air-tight container placed in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. However, repeatedly heating and cooling the steak will dry it out and make it tougher.

If you pace yourself correctly, you should have enough energy to pass your competition as you progress through the race. As the other runners lose their stamina, you can take advantage of their slowed pace to pass them.  Pay attention to the people around you. Just as you’re trying to pass people, you’ll have other people attempting to pass you. As you come into the finish, you’ll likely need to work hard to maintain your pace, since your energy levels will be low. Plus, you’ll need to pick up your pace and sprint for the finish line. Don't forget to use your mantra or positive self-talk to keep yourself going through the pain. Don't give up! Sprinting toward the finish line is how you finish strong. Run as fast as you can, keeping your eyes fixed on the finish line. Don't slow down until you've crossed it. It’s best to plan when you’ll begin your sprint, based on how long the race is and how far you can typically sprint. You'll likely want to sprint at least the final .25 miles (0.40 km). However, you can adjust this to fit your personal endurance levels. One you cross the finish line, you’ll likely want to collapse on the ground. However, doing so will make you very sore the next day. Instead, do a quick cool down to bring down your heart rate and allow your body the chance to flush the lactic acid from your leg muscles. Otherwise, you’ll be very sore the next day. For instance, you might do a light jog for 5 minutes, followed by a 5 minute walk.

TL;DR in English: Pass as many people as you can so you can get out front. Push yourself as hard as you can during the final 1/3 of the race. Sprint as fast as you can toward the finish line for the last .25 to .5 miles (0.40 to 0.80 km). Cool down with a slow run to flush out the lactic acid in your muscles.

Knowing your environment is a key point towards your victory in a battle especially when we are talking about skirmish conflicts. Be familiar of your surroundings; where is the possible ground zero of your enemy? Determine where the resources are. Scout for areas where you can set your flank to defend your base. Observe the enemy's possible route when performing offensive operations. Search for safe areas where you can settle your troops. A good commander doesn't make a move without knowing the environment of his battlefield. A good general never underestimates his enemy. Is the enemy using toxins? Is the enemy good at stealth? Does your enemy have a large amount of tanks in his disposal? What are the strengths of the enemy? How can you exterminate them without a lot of casualties? Determine the behavior and the capability of your enemy before making any operations. Defense is important and you are playing blind when you don't know how to set a good defense. Once your defenses are good. You are impenetrable and the possibility of getting defeated decreases. Determine their strengths and weaknesses. Know when you are going to use them. Know their strengths. For example, are they good at tank busting? Good at anti-aircraft busting? All units must move by placing them in strategic positions.. It is good both in offensive and defensive operations.  Destroy its defenses to assure minimal casualties once the offensive team arrives. That way, they won't go far deep in your defenses. This strategy is good for generals who want adhesive actions. This might harm a lot of your units, so a good general sends out scouts first before letting their units on a patrol. When an air raid happens, you'll lose a lot.

De-clutter the room. Wash all bedding and clothing at high temperatures, and store them in plastic bags or bins to prevent re-infestation. Place everything you washed into plastic bins with tight fitting lids the instant you take them out of the dryer. Vacuum everything several times a week. Dispose of the vacuum cleaner bag properly. Consider using a steam cleaner. Don't keep items that you can't salvage.

To get the best benefit from your steam treatment, start by washing your face. That will allow the steam to penetrate deeper into your pores, helping flush out dirt and oils that may have gotten trapped inside. If your skin is dry or you’re prone to rosacea, you may not want to use steam. It can potentially dry out your skin and worsen redness. Find a large pot, like the one you’d use for pasta or making a big batch of soup, and fill it about 2/3 of the way full of water. Place the pot on the stove on high heat, and bring the water just to a boil. Avoid filling the pot all the way to the top. It might boil over, and it will be hard to move the pot without spilling any water. Try to find a place where you can comfortably sit, stand, or kneel when you’re deciding where to place the pot. However, make sure to place a folded towel beneath it so the hot pot doesn’t scorch whatever surface you use. For instance, you might want to kneel in a chair at your dining table, or you might want to place the pot on your bathroom counter. Take a large, thick towel and drape it over the top of your head, but arrange it so it doesn’t cover your face. This will help trap the steam, allowing more of it to come into contact with your skin. A thick towel will hold in the steam better than a thin one, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Lower your face toward the pot so the towel is draped down on either side of it. Do not hold your face any closer than 18 in (46 cm) from the water or you may scald your skin. Aim for about 20 to 24 in (51 to 61 cm) away from the water. Stay there for about 5 minutes, or 10 if you’re comfortable enough.  If you’re too uncomfortable to hold your face 20 to 24 in (51 to 61 cm) from the water, it’s fine to back up a little.  Contrary to popular opinion, steam does not open your pores. It relaxes the muscles under your skin and makes it easier to clean, so it can help you get out dirt that’s trapped deep inside. Steaming your face can flush out dirt and oils onto the surface of your skin. In...

TL;DR in English: Wash your face with your favorite cleanser. Fill a large stockpot with water and heat it to a boil. Place the pot on a heat-safe mat or folded towels. Drape a towel over your head. Hold your face as close to the steam as you can for 5-10 minutes. Wash your face again with a gentle cleanser. Moisturize your face to counteract any dryness caused by the steam.

For this method of removal, you need to set the stage by locating the eyelash and washing your hands.  Look in a mirror to see where in your eye the lash is located. You should use your fingers or a Q-Tip to remove only if the eyelash is on the white part and not the colored part of the eye. The colored part is more sensitive and you may want to see an eye doctor instead if the eyelash is there.   Wash your hands. Use soap, and dry your hands completely. Washing your hands removes bacteria that you could otherwise get into your eye. Stand in front of a mirror as you do so, and keep your eyes open so you can see what you're doing. Don't push it all the way to the corner, just away from the center (pupil) of the eye. Make sure that the cotton of the Q-Tip has not loosened, as you don't want any particles coming off into your eye. If try this more than once, use a new Q-Tip for hygiene each time you touch your eye.  Moisten a Q-Tip by immersing the tip in saline solution.  Saline solution will not hurt the eye. To get the Q-Tip wet, you can either unscrew the lid of a saline bottle solution, and dip the Q-Tip in, or pour a little into a bowl, and dip the Q-Tip into that. Touch the Q-Tip gently to the eyelash. Keep your eye open while doing so. You may want to hold your eyelids open with the fingers of one hand while holding the Q-Tip with the other. Remove the eyelash. Ideally, the eyelash sticks to the Q-Tip and is removed safely and easily. Simply pull the Q-tip directly backward, taking the eyelash with it. This method involves either swiping or pulling it out with your fingers. Make sure that your hands are clean and that you keep your eyes open.  Swipe the eyelash with one finger. You may want to hold the eyelids of the affected eye open with the fingers of your non-dominant hand. With one finger of the other hand, gently swipe the eyelash in a light sliding motion. Try not to blink. The eyelash should be dislodged from the eye by the motion of your finger. Pull the eyelash with two fingers. If a simple...

TL;DR in English: Locate the problem lash. Use one finger to move the eyelash into the inner corner of your eye (toward your nose). Remove with a Q-Tip. Remove with your fingers.

English is difficult to revise, as many of the skills needed cannot be learned, only developed. There are no right answers as long as you back all your statements up - practice by doing past papers and have your teachers mark them, and tell you how you can improve. This can include spelling, grammar, providing more evidence, etc. A lot of these skills will be homed in class or coursework anyway.  For the reading papers there is a simple way to revise - read. Not just the TV guide but everything. Read newspapers often; broadsheets, not tabloids like the Sun or The Mail. Read with an active, analytical mind, considering the intended audience and purpose, separating opinion from fact, and any techniques the author uses to persuade/inform/explain. This does not, however, benefit everyone so as an alternative try reading good quality literature on any topic that interests you. Make lists of the types of questions you might be asked (e.g. writing to persuade) and practice. Get past papers and questions from your teachers, then have them marked by your teachers who should enjoy the extra workload and the sudden interest in learning. Homework is not revision - it's just homework. Take your past papers and practice. Math is one subject where it is easy to pass if you know how to do it - and you can learn how to do it with ease with practice. Past papers, while they do not repeat questions, will almost certainly feature specific topics. Past papers are also useful to find out where you have problems. Revise these areas carefully and do the past papers again until you understand everything you need to know for the exam. These are the exams that require knowing specific answers.  It is important to get the revision books to find out all the necessary information and memorize them. To help with this, it's a good idea to make thorough notes on all of the required notes early in the year and revise these notes continually -- it's easier to remember something when you have known it for a long time. Flashcards and mnemonics...

TL;DR in English: Study English Language and Literature. Study math. Study the sciences. Study religion, geography, and other information specific subjects. Study history. Study music. Study creative subjects like art or design and technology.

Because Swiss watches range so much in price, costing anywhere from thousands dollars to millions of dollars, it is important to know how much you are willing to spend before considering which features you are looking for. Set your budget first and don’t allow yourself to buy a watch you can’t afford. There are many things that dictate the price of a Swiss watch, and once you’ve set a budget you can prioritize which features are most important to you. Definitely the more expensive option, purchasing a Swiss Made watch means that the movement was manufactured, cased, and inspected by the manufacturer in Switzerland. This label also means that at least 50% of all the watch’s components were made, assembled, and inspected in Switzerland. The movement on a Swiss Made watch should be smaller than 50mm in diameter and 12mm in thickness. If your watch exceeds these parameters, it is probably counterfeit. Watches with the Swiss Movement label are often much cheaper than Swiss Made watches, as it means that the only thing Swiss about the watch is the movement. Many watches are mass-produced with Swiss movements, and this does not guarantee that you are purchasing a good watch. If you are buying on a budget, buying a Swiss Movement watch is the way to go. These watches can be found for as low as 20 dollars, but could reach as high as thousands of dollars, depending on the brand and the materials that make up the watch. Often thought of as works of art, mechanical watches are the classic type of Swiss watch movement and are often more expensive than other movements. Mechanical movements must be wound periodically and are not nearly as accurate as quartz watches, but they are popular because of their beautiful and unique craftsmanship. Although automatic watches resemble mechanical movements in their beauty and craftsmanship, they take much less effort to maintain. An automatic calibre uses the movement of your wrist to wind the mainspring, which in turn powers the watch, instead of relying on you to wind it every day....

TL;DR in English: Set your budget before starting your search. Purchase a Swiss Made watch if you are willing to spend more. Buy a Swiss Movement watch if you want to save money. Select a mechanical watch for a classic feel. Get an automatic watch if you are looking for accuracy and simplicity. Buy a quartz watch if you are on a budget.

By being willing to accept your fate, you make them more receptive to not punishing you as much next time, as well as maybe letting you off early this time. Your parent doesn't just want to make you unhappy by punishing you. He or she wants you to a learn that you are doing something wrong so that you don't make the same mistake next time. Your parent has experience you don't, so he is trying to help you avoid the consequences that could happen to you if act in that way as an adult. Once you show you understand why your parents are punishing you, they may be willing to let you off early. They may have been a little harsh in their punishment and may regret it later. If you are on your best behavior, they may let you off for good behavior. Show your parents that you are willing to work extra hard to please them and to do the right thing. Similarly, your parents will notice if you are working extra hard to be good. They'll appreciate you helping out around the house, which may make them more receptive to letting you off the hook. Additionally, the more you complain, the more your parents will know you hate the punishment, meaning it's the perfect punishment for them to choose the next time you get in trouble. Write a letter detailing how you will do better in the future, and behave in a way that clearly shows you are trying to do better. For instance, if you were grounded for getting in a fight with your sister, try being extra nice to her to show you understand the problem. For example, if you stayed out past curfew, you could write a letter that says the following: "Dear Mom and Dad, I realize now that I should have called when I was out so late. Staying out too late was bad enough, but then I made you worry by not letting you know where I was. I know you love me and want to keep me safe, and I really do appreciate how concerned you are about me. In the future, I'll try to be more considerate of your feelings in all situations, and let you know where I am no matter what. Love, Jessie" After accepting your...

TL;DR in English: Accept your punishment without complaint. Understand where your parent is coming from. Realize your parents are not perfect. Start your homework without being asked. Pick up extra chores. Show you have learned your lesson. Politely ask to be let off for good behavior.

Get rid of anything you no longer want or need. Put them in plastic bags, and throw them away. This will make it easier to tackle your bed bug problem. If you need to move something out of an infested room temporarily, put it into a plastic bin with a tight fitting lid first. If something cannot be laundered, see if you can take it to a dry cleaner instead. You can also sanitize it by putting it into the dryer for at 15 minutes on a high heat setting.  Depending on how severe your infestation is, you may need to wash everything once or twice a week for several months—even after the bed bugs are gone. Don't forget to clean the laundry area with a sanitizing cleaner once you are done. This also includes soft toys. Be sure to put them inside a pillowcase when washing them, so that you don't damage their fur. You can also use plastic, zippered or resealable bags instead. Whatever container you choose to use, you must keep it closed whenever you are not handling the things inside. This will prevent the newly-cleaned items from getting re-infested. Store these bins away from the infested room. This includes anything made out of fibers, such as box springs, carpets, curtains, mattresses, and upholstered items. It also includes "hard" items, such as furniture, hardwood floors, baseboards, and anything else with nooks and crannies. Take the bag out of the vacuum cleaner and put it into a plastic bag. Tie the plastic bag up tightly, and throw it away immediately outside your house. Do not leave the bag inside your house, or you may get another infestation. It is important that you use one which reaches at least 200°F (93.4°C) and which produces dry steam. The "dry steam" is important because you don't want everything left soaking wet, which can lead to mold and mildew. If something is beyond saving, get rid of it. Rip off the covers of upholstered furniture. Mark infested pieces clearly with "Infested with Bed Bugs" or "Bed Bugs" signs. Make arrangements with your city to have these items disposed of as soon as...

TL;DR in English:


Choose your candles. Set up your area. Decorate your area.

Some dehydrators have a thermostat, while others have a simple “On / Off” switch. If your dehydrator has a thermostat, set it to 135 or 140 degrees Fahrenheit (57 or 60 degrees Celsius) and let it preheat while you prepare the tomatoes.  If your dehydrator only has an “On / Off” switch, you do not need to preheat it. Instead, simply turn the heat on after you add the tomatoes to the appliance. If your dehydrator does not have a thermostat, it might be a good idea to set a cooking thermometer in the bottom tray of the dehydrator so that you can monitor the temperature as the tomatoes dehydrate. The tomatoes should be washed, dried, skinned, cored, cut, and seeded.  Wash the tomatoes under running water and pat dry with clean paper towels. Skin the tomatoes only if desired. Cut an "X" on the bottom of the tomato, just deep enough to slice through the skin. Blanch the tomato in boiling water for 25 to 30 seconds before removing with a slotted spoon and dunking into ice water. Peel the skin off with your fingers. Use a paring knife to cut a cone shape out of the top stem end of each tomato to remove the core. Slice off a small portion of the bottom end, as well. Cut the tomatoes into decent sizes. Cherry tomatoes should be cut in half, roma (plum) tomatoes should be cut in halves or quarters, and larger tomatoes should be cut into 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) slices. Seeding the tomatoes is optional. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon, leaving the pulp behind. You can blot away extra juice with a clean paper towel. Spray the dehydrator trays with a light coating of cooking spray or rub a small amount of olive oil over the trays using another clean paper towel. Greasing the trays will prevent the tomatoes from sticking. The oil can also add flavor to the tomatoes. Arrange the tomato pieces on your prepared dehydrator trays so that they are cut-side up and roughly 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) apart from one another. Do not layer the tomatoes or position them so that they touch one another. Doing so will cause the tomatoes to dehydrate...

TL;DR in English: Preheat the dehydrator, if applicable. Prepare the tomatoes. Grease the dehydrator trays. Place the tomatoes on the dehydrator trays. Season as desired. Dry the tomatoes in the dehydrator. Store.

Most shoes with rubber or plastic soles insulate you from the ground. If you switch to shoes with real leather soles, or special electrical static discharge (ESD) shoes, charge will have more trouble building up on your body. Even if you do pick up charge during a car ride, it should flow out through these shoes as soon as you step onto the ground. Rubbing fabric softener sheets onto the car seat can eliminate static cling, at least for a few days. Alternatively, mix a teaspoon (5 mL) of liquid fabric softener in a quart (liter) of water. Mix well and spray onto the seat. Synthetic materials, such as most modern fleeces, increase the risk of static shock. Even natural fibers like wool or cotton can build up a high charge, though, so it's not worth changing your wardrobe. Just be extra careful while you're wearing polyester. "Low rolling resistance" tires made with silica are poor electrical conductors. This can cause the car to pick up a static charge as you drive, since it can't discharge it into the ground. A static discharge strap that connects your car to the road can solve this problem.  Very old vintage cars may use plain white rubber tires, which have the same problem. Ordinary tires are treated with carbon black, a conductive material. A grounding strap makes no difference for cars with these tires. (Shocks can still happen, but the charge difference is between you and the car, not the car and the ground.)

TL;DR in English: Wear shoes with conductive soles. Treat the car seats with fabric softener. Be aware of your clothing. Attach a grounding strap if you have non-conductive tires.

Video tutorials are the easiest way to learn, and there are many available online. Search for the song name, followed by “mirrored version” or “dance tutorial.” Whatever video you choose, make sure that the dancer either has their back to the camera like a dance teacher, or that the video is “mirrored”--flipped horizontally.  If you use a non-mirrored video, you’ll learn the dance backwards. If the dancer raised their right arm, for example, it would look to you like they raised their left arm. You would actually be doing the opposite moves! Choosing a mirrored video, or one where the dancers have their back to you, will let you follow each move exactly as it appears on the screen. Some K-pop groups have lots of members, and it can get overwhelming if you’re trying to watch them all at once. Instead, pick one of the members to dance as and follow them the whole time.  Focus on the member you want to perform as, It can be any member or your bias, watch the way the move closely they might move to a different position as they dance! Remember the Main Dancer(s) tend to stay upfront and in the frame of the choreography, And tend to get difficult parts of the dance so look out! Sit back, relax, and watch the full choreography a few times to get a sense of the choreography and timing. Focus hard on the dancer that you’ll be following. If you can, watch the video on a computer or a TV screen rather than a phone so you can see all the small moves and details.     K-pop dancing is all about precision, so the clearer you can see the moves, the better! The best place to learn your dance is in a big, quiet room in your house--it could even be your own room! If you don’t have a big enough room in your house, you could also practice in a room at the gym, in the hallways at your school, or even in a dance studio. All you need is some room to move around and Internet access. Lots of people like to dance in front of a mirror so they can make improvements and see how the dance looks overall, but it’s definitely not necessary....

TL;DR in English: Search online for a mirrored tutorial video. Follow your choice dancer's moves. Set up in a big room in your house to start practicing. Film yourself dancing, if you don’t have a mirror.

Sometimes people who are vegan or lactose intolerant may crave cheese sauce. While nothing really replicates the cheesy goodness of the perfect cheese sauce, a vegan cheese-style sauce may help you kick the craving. The key to making good vegan cheese sauce is using starchy vegetables like zucchini and potatoes to give the sauce a creamy texture and keep it from separating.  You will need access to a high powered blender, food processor, or Vitamix to create a creamy texture for this sauce. Nutritional yeast can be found in health food stores in the form of flakes or powder. It has a strong, savory flavor that is nutty and tangy. The deactivated yeast is a popular vegan substitute for cheese in recipes.  If you are allergic to soy sauce, you can substitute it for vegan worcestershire sauce, sold at most health food and speciality food stores. It will give the sauce a similar flavor, but you will need to add more salt to make up for the saltiness that soy sauce provides. Preheat your oven to 415 °F (213 °C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Peel all the green skin off the zucchini with a vegetable peeler. Then, slice it into ¼ inch slices and place the slices on the sheet pan.  Season the slices with a dash of salt and pepper. Bake the zucchini for 15 minutes until they appear tender and soft to the touch. Peeling the zucchini will prevent the sauce from coming out a strange green-yellow color. Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place the potatoes on another sheet pan and into the oven with the zucchini for about 10 minutes, until they appear soft.  You can also cook the potatoes fast in the microwave for about 5 minutes, covered, until they are very soft to the touch. Do not boil the potatoes, as they will get water-logged and make your cheese sauce runny. Then, use a dry measuring cup to measure out 1 cup of mashed potatoes. It’s important to measure the mashed potatoes for accurate results and a solid vegan cheese sauce. Add the 1 cup of mashed potatoes to your high speed blender, food...

TL;DR in English: Gather your ingredients. Prepare the zucchini. Cook 5 small potatoes by roasting them or steaming them. Mash up the cooked potatoes with a fork. Add the cooked zucchini to the the blender. Blend the ingredients together until smooth. Taste and season the sauce. Add any extra toppings.

For the best results, you want to use candles that are fairly large and haven’t yet been burned down. It’s fine if they’ve been used slightly.  Candles are made from all different types of waxes and materials. Try choosing a few different types to compare your results and see which works best. Gather soy, gelatin, paraffin, beeswax, bayberry, or soy candles. Different types of wax have different rates of evaporation. You want to place your candles on a clean, flat surface. Put your candles in candle holders, and lay newspaper on the table underneath them to catch any dripping wax.  Make sure that your candle area is free from any flammable items that could catch fire. If you have long hair, pull it back, and don’t wear loose-fitting clothing. Even though you’re just working with candles, you still want to take precautions around fire. If you want to light a candle without touching the wick as a magic trick for your friends, rather than just as an experiment, consider giving the space where you’ll present your trick a little bit of pizzazz.  Hang a black sheet or large piece of black poster board behind your candles. This will make the flame more prominent and visible. Just make sure that these are far enough from the flame that they aren’t a fire hazard. Place a banner or poster with sayings about magic behind your hands. You can also place nonflammable magical objects, like crystals, around your candles.

TL;DR in English:


Acknowledge your emotional pain. Reduce victim mentality. Practice forgiveness through rituals.

You should always consult with a professional coin grading service before you clean your collectable coins. Cleaning collectable coins can significantly reduce their value, and in fact, sometimes coin “toning” or the discoloration and patina caused by exposure to air can actually add to the coin’s overall value. For that reason, you shouldn’t be cleaning valuable or antique coins.  When you are handling antique coins, always hold them on the edge and not on the coin's face. Oils and fingerprints can hurt a coin's value. There is standardised grading for coins, so even the smallest scratch from wiping one off can significantly reduce its value. You may store your 2x2 plastic holders in a binder to display all of your coins. Hard plastic is better because it is more sturdy and will prevent your coin from being damaged. The most important thing is that the containers are air-tight and that the coins will not be exposed to the environment around it.  Make sure that you remove any plastic that contains PVC plastic. Buy coin flips that use Mylar flips because PVC can damage the coins over time. Keep your antique coins away from staples or other metal. Do not use paper. It contains sulphur and can turn your coins black.

TL;DR in English: Go to a professional. Store your collectable coins in 2x2 hard plastic holders.

This basic step is a building block for teaching a child to feel you value her as an individual. Find ways to spend special time alone with your child. This will foster respect and closeness, and allow you to learn more about what your child wants and needs.  If you are a working mother who would like to become a stay at home mom in order to increase the amount of time you can spend with your child, spend some time figuring out your finances to create a plan that will allow you to do so. Activities you do with your child don't have to be complicated. Time spent together can be as simple as taking a walk, sharing a picnic snack, or going together to a favorite spot. Your child is more likely to approach you with their needs if they feel comfortable spending alone time with you. Children need to be reassured that they are loved by the adults in their lives. This love should not be based in conditions. Remember that love is non-judgmental and unconditional.   Sometimes children of divorced parents need additional confirmation that they still have their parents' love. While you may be proud of your child's achievements, make sure the child knows that you love them regardless of whether they bring home a perfect report card or not. Talking to a child about daily activities allows them to know that you care about their life. Having conversations with an adult may also give the child a positive sense of maturity. Include a variety of questions to help support your conversation.  Avoid rhetorical questions, which your child may not know how to interpret. Instead, use open-ended questions as often as possible, which will allow the child to know that you're interested in what they have to say. Open-ended questions usually start with Who, What, Where, When, Why, or How. Children may not have the skills to express themselves without some help. If you want a child to share her experience with you, help support her by asking questions like, "And then what happened?" or "Tell me more!"  Inviting your child to continue to...

TL;DR in English: Spend time together. Let the child know you love them. Have regular conversations. Encourage a child's conversation by using conversation extenders. Validate their feelings Demonstrate respect for the child. Respect the child's abilities. Allow the child to learn from their mistakes. Give your children choices. Respect their quirks and individuality.

The ideal temperature for drying sage is between 95 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit (35 and 46 degrees Celsius). Lower temperatures take longer to dry the sage, but they limit the risk that you will accidentally cook the sage, which will ruin them. If you live in an area with high humidity, you may need to set the temperature at 125 degrees Fahrenheit (52 degrees Celsius). Make sure that the leaves do not touch each other or overlap, as this could prevent them from drying properly. You may have to dry the sage in batches if you have a lot. It's tempting to dry several herbs together or to dry the herbs with fruit, but this could cause the flavors to mix. Stick to one item at a time in the dehydrator. Depending on your dehydrator, your sage may take 1 to 4 hours to dry. Read the instructions that came with your dehydrator to see if it recommends a time. Look for crispy, dry edges on the leaves. If they look dry, pick up a leaf and see if it easily crumbles between your fingers. When it does, then the sage is dry.

TL;DR in English: Set your dehydrator on a low temperature. Spread out the leaves on a tray in a single layer. Dry the sage alone so that the flavors will not get mixed. Check the leaves every 30 minutes to see if they're dry. Determine if the sage is dry.

Begin by using a clean, dry cloth to wipe off the leather shoes. Go over every part of the shoe. You don’t have to scrub—just try to get off any loose dirt or debris. You can use the same cloth or start with a new, clean cloth. Dampen the cloth with a small amount of water. Wipe off the shoes again with the damp cloth. Rinse off the cloth you’ve just used. Sprinkle some baking soda directly on the cloth. Firmly wipe off the shoes until they began to appear clean. Rinse off the cloth one more time. Wipe down the shoes again to remove any remaining baking soda off of the shoes. Allow the shoes to air dry for a few hours. You can find a leather conditioner online, at shoe stores, or at many supermarkets. A leather conditioner will preserve the leather and keep it looking shiny for longer. Put a little bit of conditioner on your finger, and rub it all over the leather on the outside of your shoe.  Condition your shoes every 4 to 6 weeks. Use a dry cloth to remove any excess polish.

TL;DR in English: Wipe off the leather flats with a dry cloth. Use a damp cloth to wipe once again. Wipe off the shoes with baking soda. Use a damp cloth to remove the baking soda. Invest in a leather conditioner.

Being the scapegoat to others can translate to being the victim of emotional bullying. Years of being picked on and manipulated by others has likely shifted your identity of who you are as a person. In order to stop being an easy target, you must admit to what’s happening and acknowledge the pain it causes.  For instance, being the scapegoat may have caused you to experience anxiety, depression, self-doubt, relationship turmoil, and even addiction. Think about the true impact being the scapegoat has on your life by identifying who has used you as a scapegoat and why these people are important in your life and for your sense of self-worth. Be honest with yourself about the negative consequences. It may help to journal about it. Cry, if you need to. Or, lean on a supportive friend. As hard as it may be to swallow, you have to accept that you are being scapegoated by others because you allow yourself to be. A major step towards overcoming scapegoating is to stop playing into the victim mentality. Just because others are trying to make you the victim, you don’t have to see yourself as one.  Consider what you may have been getting out of playing the role of a victim. For example, you might enjoy the attention, feelings of validation, sense of security, sympathy, and lowered expectations that come with playing the victim. Develop a new story of who you are that doesn’t involve being a victim. For instance, when something negative happens in your life, resist the temptation to connect it to people not failing to support you. This takes the control away from you and gives it to them. Instead look for some aspect of the problem in which you had control and brainstorm a solution from there.  You may also turn your attention to things you feel grateful for and people you can help. This may help you to feel more empowered. You are stuck in the scapegoat role because you are harboring negative feelings about others and yourself. Strive for forgiveness and you may be able to finally release the negative emotions that have...

TL;DR in English:


Keep your expectations reasonable. Be confident. Keep a positive attitude. Express your needs.

How much you should use depends on how much creamer you want. Use the jar you choose as your guide, adding as much as can reasonably fit in the jar. Make sure you have the same amount of condensed milk and half-and-half.  Make sure you leave about an inch of headspace. The measuring does not have to be completely precise, but it can be a good idea to use measuring cups here. Measure out the cinnamon and vanilla extract. Pour the spices in with the milk and cream mixture. Seal your jar tightly to prevent leaking. Give the jar a good shake. Shake for a few seconds to mix everything evenly. The creamer will taste best after it's been chilled. Place it in a refrigerator for at least an hour before adding it to coffee. The creamer will last about as long as the expiration date indicated on your milk and half-and-half.

TL;DR in English: Mix equal parts condensed milk and half-and-half in a mason jar. Sprinkle in your flavorings. Shake your jar to mix. Chill before serving.

Your vet will do a thorough exam, and possibly blood work to ensure that there is no long-standing infection/inflammation, and to assess internal organ health. If your vet suspects allergies, they may suggest allergy testing, which can be something as simple as a blood draw or skin testing. In skin testing, vets will inject small amounts of suspected allergens under the skin and observing the body's reactions.  The skin testing is normally done in a specialty clinic or teaching hospital.    Molds and allergens are commonly found in the dust, hay, and the rest of the horse's environment, so this diagnosis is by no means uncommon. Listen to your vet for recommended treatments/environmental changes that may help alleviate her condition, listed below. A respiration supplement, designed to ease breathing, can help in some cases.  One such product is called "Tri-Hist", which is an antihistamine available by prescription only.

TL;DR in English: Contact your veterinarian if the problem has become an ongoing issue. Begin treatment if your mare has tested positive for common molds and common allergens. Try administering a respiration supplement recommended by your vet.

Your head should be pointed forward just slightly. Make sure to avoid straining your neck. If your head is turned to the side slightly or you move it around, you’ll wind up slowing yourself down.  Your neck should not be buried in your shoulders. Avoid tucking your chin down. Your hands should be held flat at shoulder width. Your pinkies and thumbs should be parallel with your other fingers. This should give you a lot more power as you move through the water. Your fingertips should point down toward the bottom of the pool as you paddle through the water. If they’re not, you’ll lose energy and won’t be able to move as fast as you could otherwise. By rotating your shoulders, you’ll wind up making your hips turn. This will ultimately slow you down and make you lose power and momentum. Instead, focus on moving your arms as if you are paddling on a surfboard. Try to follow the line on the bottom of the pool as best as you can. If there is no line, make sure you stay straight in your swimming lane. In addition, make sure your arms don’t cross over the middle of your body when you are completing your strokes. Your right or left hand should never go near the opposite side of the body.

TL;DR in English: Point your head forward. Hold your hands flat. Catch the water with your hands. Avoid rotating your shoulders too much. Swim straight.

Editing is where a bunch of random footage becomes a bunch of scary moments, and the best way to learn is from the masters. One suggestion is to take notes not only of what happens, but the minute it happens on. When do scares occur? How far apart are they? How do editors build up to a scary moment to make it even scarier? You'll notice that most scary movies, especially famous ones like The Shining, Aliens, and The Exorcist, take their time between scares. They build up tension until it is almost unbearable, then hit you with the scariest scene they can dream up. " Scaring someone is all about anticipation. The feeling of fear disappears once the bad guy jumps out or we see the horrible act unless the moment has been built up effectively. Linger on characters as they walk through the creepy hallway. Use long-takes (single camera angles held without cutting) to show someone creeping up on an unsuspecting character. Resist the urge to cut right to the scary moments -- having build-up will make it them all the scarier. Editing is when dramatic irony becomes your best friend. Dramatic irony is when the audience knows something that the character doesn't. We might see the outline of the killer, but the characters can't. The longer we sit with this knowledge, wishing the character would run, the more fearful we become. The final scene of The Silence of the Lambs, where the night vision goggles tell us our heroine is being stalked, is nearly unbearable-- in the best way possible. The end of a good build-up of suspense is an energetic release of energy. This is when the killer strikes, taking our breath away. Long takes build suspense, but quick, frantic cuts can make the audience gasp and scream, unable to believe the horror that they've seen. This release of energy relieves tension but also puts the audience on their toes, allowing you to start building the suspense again shortly after. This give and take is what makes up the rhythm of a good horror movie, and is the essence of good editing. Sound design is...

TL;DR in English: Watch and takes notes on every horror movie you can get your hands on. Linger in scary scenes before showing the big "moment. Build dramatic irony in your scenes. Use quick cuts and scenes to build excitement and confusion. Use sound effects to build tension subtly. Use "jump scares," but only sparingly. Correct the color and add any special effects last.

Think about your goals. Are you looking for just sex? That's perfectly fine. Just make sure to maintain the same priority throughout the experience.  Do not expect a relationship to develop. Sometimes people get hurt after a one-night stand. It's usually because their expectations shifted. Accept that a one-night stand is actually a one-night occurrence. If something else develops, great. But don't expect it to. Once you have decided that you want to have a one night stand, it's time to take control of the situation. If you want to have a sexual encounter, approach a potential partner with confidence. If you feel good about yourself, you will project an air of confidence.  When you see someone attractive, strike up a conversation. If you are at a party, try saying, "Great music. Do you go to many concerts?" Keep your tone relaxed, but convey your interest. For example, maintain eye contact with the person you are interested in. You can also make some experimental physical contact. Try resting your hand on the other person's shoulder while you are telling a funny story. Even if you are looking for a one night stand, you might feel some emotional repercussions the morning after. It is perfectly normal for women to experience regret, or even shame. It's important to remember that you are in charge of your own actions and you can choose how to feel about them.  To avoid having regrets, think carefully about whether you want a one night stand. Do you feel like you can handle having sex with no emotional attachment? If so, remind yourself that you made a proactive choice to have a one-night stand. As long as you were safe, there's no need to feel regret. Maintain high spirits. Celebrate the fact that you just had enjoyable sex. The key to a successful one night stand is that both parties are on the same page. Avoid having a sexual encounter with someone you would like to pursue romantically. Likewise, do not have a one night stand with someone you know is interested in having a relationship with you.

Flatten the Play-Doh. Prepare your stove-top or standalone steamer. Remove the dough from the steamer.

Use one part bleach to 10 parts water. Place the solution in a small bowl or denture cleaner container.  Do not use bleach if you are allergic to any kind of bleach. Also, make sure to use gloves to protect your hands. The bleach kills the bacteria and plaque that have built up. Discard the solution after you’ve used it once. Be sure that all of the solution is gone. No bleach should remain to damage your mouth’s soft tissues, such as your gums.

While it may seem polite to invite your house guest to dine with you, you may be inadvertently inviting them to stay. Instead, avoid dining with them or feeding them at all.  If possible, dine out in the company of friends and family. Don’t inform them if you are cooking a meal. Stop stocking your pantry and refrigerator with snack food that they like to eat. In fact, if you notice they’re munching on something, make it disappear. It may seem tempting to spend time with your house guest or to invite them to fun activities. But while you may be having fun, you are also sending the signal that they should stick around. Instead, avoid engaging or spending time with the person.  Don’t announce recreational activities that you are involved in. They may invite themselves to join you. Watch TV in your own room or away from them. If you watch TV in the living room, your guest may take the time to hang out with you. There are small things you can do to make your home a whole lot less attractive to stay at. And while these things might seem small to you, they might be enough to get your house guest to reconsider their living plans. Feel free to turn on the TV early in the morning or entertain guests late into the night. If the house guest does not respect you enough to leave, you shouldn’t go out of your way to make your home inviting.

TL;DR in English: Avoid feeding them. Disengage from them. Take small steps to make your home less inviting.

It’s easy to simply keep on wearing your glasses without worrying too much about your prescription over time. However, almost everyone’s eyesight naturally weakens over time. Even if you don’t think your prescription needs to be changed, schedule yourself an eye exam every one or two years at the very least. If you’re over sixty years of age, or have complications with your eye health, yearly checkups are especially important. You’ll likely start by sharing any frustration or discomfort you’ve experienced when speaking with your optometrist. However, it’s important to mention anything that you’ve noticed about your vision since you last saw your optometrist, even if it doesn’t seem too significant.  Note things like, “I’ve realized it’s harder to see things that are moving quickly, like a tennis ball.” If you’ve been experiencing headaches, be sure to mention where they occur in your head, and what you’re usually doing when the headaches occur. One of the benefits of getting regular eye exams is taking advantage of new technologies. This applies to both assessment equipment, as well as actual eyeglasses.  In fact, improvements in lens design are somewhat frequent, and more and more types of lens are becoming available.  Especially if you tend to use your glasses for one thing in particular, or notice issues with your vision during certain types of activities, ask your doctor something like, “Is there another type of lens I should try considering what we’ve talked about?” In fact, you may find that your prescription is fine, but that a different type of lens will give you even better vision.

TL;DR in English: Get an annual eye exam. Be specific about any observations. Ask about new technologies.

In tug of war, opposing player or teams will pull on a rope until one of the teams or players succeeds at pulling the majority of the rope over to one side. To get started, all you need to do is take your rope and lay it out in a straight line on the ground. There should be a flag or marker in the center of the rope. If not, then place one in the center of your rope before you start the game. You can play tug of war in teams or as a one-on-one game. If you are going to have a team game, then make sure that you have an equal number of players on either side of the rope. If you are playing with just two people, then stand at opposite ends of the rope. Have all of the players pick up the rope and grip it tightly with both hands. Do this before you start the game so that everyone has a chance to get a good grip on the rope. Never anchor the rope around your waist or coil it around other parts of your body. This can result in severe rope burn, dislocations, or rope breaks that can snap and inflict other severe or even fatal injuries. If you have not chosen a judge yet, then do so now. The judge can be someone who does not want to play or an extra person if you have an odd number of players. Have the judge stand in the center of the rope. The judge will also need a whistle (or a loud voice) to signal to other players that the game has started. The judge can blow a whistle or yell “Go!” to signal to the players that the game has started. Have the judge signal the start of the game so that the players will know when to start pulling. When the judge sounds the whistle or yells, then the game has officially started. All players on either side should lean backwards with their feet planted as they pull to start. Try to use your body weight and leg strength to pull the rope back and away from the other team. Each team’s goal is to pull the marker or flag past the center point. When one team or player has accomplished this goal, that team or player will be declared the winner. Don’t stop pulling until the judge declares a winner.

TL;DR in English: Lay out the rope. Place the opponents. Grip the rope. Place the judge in the center. Sound a whistle. Pull as hard as you can. Keep pulling until there is a victor.

Again, it's always best to use stuffed animals that you do not have any sentimental attachment to, as your cat will want to tear and shred the toy. If you know your cat likes catnip, insert a small amount into the stuffed animal. Sew the hole up neatly. This step is optional. Your cat may prefer playing with the toy alone, or it may enjoy engaging with you while you maneuver the toy around the room. Again, it will take time and patience to learn what your cat likes best. If you added a string, swing it back and forth in front of the cat, as this will make it clear that it is supposed to "hunt" the toy.

TL;DR in English: Find an old, unwanted stuffed animal. Cut a little hole. Tie a string or ribbon around the toy if you want to drag it around for your cat. Give your cat the new toy.

Wash your head daily with a gentle soap or shampoo. Apply a moisturizer to your head at least twice a day. Protect your head from the sun using sunscreen or a hat. Put antiperspirant on your scalp before bed if excessive sweating is an issue. Shave when re-growth becomes noticeable.

Target stains that remain after spot cleaning or general cleaning with undiluted white vinegar or vodka. Similar to spot cleaning, dampen a clean microfiber cloth with vinegar or vodka and blot the stain. Do not over saturate the fabric. Although the smell of vinegar and vodka may be strong when first applied, when these liquids dry the smell should disappear. These kinds of stains can be removed from many fabrics with a thin layer of paste made from a small amount of baking soda and water. Cover the stain completely with the paste. Wait five minutes, then blot the paste from the fabric with a clean, water dampened microfiber cloth. After the majority of the wine stain has been removed, use a general cleaning measure to remove anything that remains. Dampen a microfiber cloth with mild hand soap or dish soap and cold water. Lightly work this mixture into the stained fabric in a blotting motion. With a clean microfiber cloth dampened with cold water, blot the stain to remove the soap. When the stain has faded, wash the fabric as you would normally.  Avoid applying heat to blood and other protein stains, as it will usually make them more difficult to remove. In some cases, you might not be able to clean blood stains that have set in the fabric of the furniture. For severe stains, you may need to use soap and cold water several times before the stain fades sufficiently. Allow the fabric to dry naturally in between applications. Specially formulated upholstery cleaner can be found at most general retailers, like Walmart and Target, and hardware stores. Each cleaner will be different, so you should use it according to its label directions.  Read the usage instructions of cleaners carefully before purchasing them. Some may be intended for certain fabrics or stains. Some upholstery cleaners may use harsh chemicals that can break down the fabric of your furniture if used too often. You may need to repeat general cleaning measures after the fabric dries from its upholstery cleaner treatment. If the stain remains after...

TL;DR in English: Eliminate stubborn stains with white vinegar or vodka. Apply a baking soda paste for coffee and wine stains. Remove blood stains from your furniture. Use a suitable upholstery cleaner on remaining stains. Repeat cleaning measures as necessary. Call a cleaning professional.

The more anxious or uncertain you seem, the more likely you are to attract negative attention. Be positive! Freshmen are more likely to worry about how they’re perceived, so if you hold yourself like you don’t have a care in the world it will become much harder and less rewarding to try to pick on you. Don’t let unkind remarks phase you. After all, they’re just words.  Wake up every day with the goal of making a new friend, learning something useful or finding a way to succeed. Going to school shouldn’t have to be something you dread. Take this opportunity to make the most of your new circumstances. Remember: no one has the final say on the way you feel but you. Feeling out of place as a new student in high school can be discouraging, but it doesn’t have to be. You’re the only one in charge of your attitude. Despite the age gap that exists between you and students of other grades, you all actually have a lot in common: you go to the same school, you’re forced to take the same kinds of classes and you all have your own individual interests. Be mindful of this kinship when trying to form friendships with new people. It shouldn’t matter what grade you’re in if you find joy in the same things.  Take note of the things the other students around you like and play up on these similarities. If you notice that another student has a certain band sticker on his or her notebook, for example, strike up a conversation about music and your favorite bands. Everyone feels more or less on their own in high school. Highlighting the things you have in common with your classmates will help break down the walls that keep people from becoming friends. While it’s true that you have a lot to learn when you first start high school, being a freshman shouldn’t be an ingrained part of your identity. You’re an individual first. Be comfortable being yourself and you’ll attract other comfortable people who want to get to know you. They may not even realize you’re a freshman if you don’t feel obligated to play the meek “new kid on the block”...

TL;DR in English: Keep an upbeat attitude. Try to relate to your classmates. Don’t advertise that you’re a freshman. Make older friends.

Not only will this make the cleaning process move quicker, but it is also a good idea to have an extra set of eyes to scan your house for garbage. Just make sure to stay focused while cleaning, and save chatting with your friends until after the house is put back together. Avoid having more than 3-4 friends stay to help you because it might make the cleaning process slower rather than quicker. Discard any used or leftover disposable dishware and tablecloths. Make sure to check underneath tables, couches, and chairs. Try to use opaque garbage bags over clear ones to further conceal contents. Then, drop the garbage off at a public dumpster or have a friend with a car do it for you. This will remove the evidence of the party from your property. Refrain from putting the bags of garbage in your own trash can, as an overflowing or filled trash can will look suspicious. Run a vacuum cleaner over the floor to remove any debris that was tracked into your house. If needed, mop any particularly dirty areas where liquids were spilled. Additionally, use an all-purpose liquid cleaner to wipe down any surfaces that were used during the party. This includes tables, countertops, and even the bathroom.  If needed, open a couple of windows to air out any smells that accumulated in your house. These smells include ones from your party and ones from the cleaning supplies.  Avoid having your home look too clean. If your house normally has items lying around or dust on the coffee table, try to leave it that way. An overly clean house can raise just as much suspicion as a dirty one. Just make sure to put back all of the cleaning supplies where you found them, otherwise your parents may ask why they are missing. Once everything is properly cleaned, make sure to reset the party space to how it was when your parents left. This includes putting back any valuables you stored and arranging the furniture to the way your parents had it. Refer to any photos you took of the space before the party if you are unsure where a particular item goes.

TL;DR in English: Ask a couple of friends to stay after the party to help you clean up. Gather the litter and drop it off at a nearby dumpster. Clean the floors, carpets, and surfaces thoroughly. Replace any items that you had stored in the exact spot they were before.

Check the whole garden for any puddles of water in toys, plates beneath flower pots, children’s pools, and buckets. Remove all of these areas of stagnant water if possible to prevent attracting mosquitoes to your home.  Other areas that often have stagnant water in gardens are unused tires, trash cans, and bird baths.  If your garden has areas of stagnant water that cannot be removed, such as a pond, simply stay away from these areas at night and keep any outdoor events as far away from the water as possible. Don’t worry about your swimming pool attracting mosquitoes. Provided that the filter is working properly and that it’s chlorinated, the mosquitoes won’t be attracted to it. Read the label on the insect repellent carefully, and reapply it as often as necessary. Put it on children over 2 months as well.  Insect repellents usually contain DEET, picaridin, lemon or eucalyptus oil, and all of these are effective against mosquitoes. Don’t spray the insect repellent directly on your face, as it could irritate your eyes. Spray it onto your hands first, and then rub it on your face. Wear covered shoes and clothes that cover your arms and legs. Try to stick to light colors if possible, as mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors. Lightweight clothes are the most practical due to the heat in summer. Many strong perfumes, colognes, and lotions can actually attract mosquitoes towards you. Save these products for when you are indoors, or for when the weather is cooler. Floral scents tend to be especially attractive to mosquitoes. Connect the bottle of repellent to a hose, and spray the perimeter of your garden as instructed. This is usually done around 24 hours before you plan to use the area at night.  Read the label of the repellent carefully before you use it to check that the repellent is safe to use around children and pets. This will work to temporarily repel mosquitoes from the outdoor area. Light the candles and strategically place them around the area that you will be using at night. Some candles can be hung,...

TL;DR in English: Remove all stagnant water from your garden. Apply insect repellent when you will be outdoors at night. Cover your skin up as much as possible. Avoid wearing any strong smelling body products. Pretreat any outdoor areas that you plan on using with a backyard repellent. Place geraniol or citronella candles every 15 in (38 cm) in the outdoor area.

When you're making your own stickers, the sky is the limit in terms of design. Use whatever drawing materials you want: colored pencils, markers, pastels, crayons, anything. Make sure your drawing utensil is not washable. Draw the sticker designs on a thin piece of paper, such as loose leaf paper or paper from a notepad. Consider these creative options when you're thinking up sticker designs:    Draw a self-portrait, or portraits of your friends or pets. Cut out neat pictures and words from magazines and newspapers. Print out pictures you find online, or pictures you've uploaded to your computer. Print them on thin computer paper, rather than photo paper, for best results. Use sticker sheets you find online with premade stickers you can print out. Make pictures using rubber stamps. Decorate the picture with glitter. This glue is similar to the adhesive on envelope flaps and is safe for kids to use. It will bind the stickers to most surfaces but doesn't include harsh chemicals. To make the glue, mix the following ingredients in a bowl until they are thoroughly combined:  An envelope of plain gelatin 4 tablespoons boiling water 1 teaspoon sugar or corn syrup A few drops of peppermint extract or vanilla, for flavoring.  Use different kinds of extract for fun flavors! Apply different flavors to different kinds of stickers, make stickers for your friends with surprise flavors, or use certain holiday-themed flavors for Christmas, Valentine's Day, or Easter. When you are finished with the glue, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The glue will gel overnight. To liquefy it, place the container in a bowl of hot water.  This glue can also be used to seal envelopes. When you're ready to stick the stickers to various surfaces, simply lick the back, like you would a stamp, and press them down against the surface for a moment. The homemade glue is quite strong, so be careful where you stick them.

TL;DR in English: Design the stickers. Make the glue. Lick the stickers.

Put a pea-size amount of cleanser in your hands and work it into a lather. Then, rub the lather into your scalp to clean away the sweat and grime that naturally build up over the course of the day. Rinse with warm water.  Dandruff shampoo can help with dry scalp, if that’s a problem for you.  Avoid using harsh cleansers on your scalp, as it’s more sensitive than the rest of your skin. It’s best to limit your showers to once a day so you don’t dry out your scalp. You can use face or body moisturizer, but it’s best to use one formulated to protect your scalp. Slather it on in the morning and evening, especially if you’ve just taken a shower.  Moisturizer helps prevent dry patches and wrinkles. Additionally, it helps your scalp look freshly shaved for a longer period of time. If you’re worried about shine, look for a moisturizer labeled as matte. Choose an SPF broad-spectrum sunscreen, and apply it at least 15 minutes before you leave home. Additionally, re-apply your sunscreen every 2-4 hours while you’re outdoors. As an alternative, you can wear a hat for sun protection.  Your shaved head will be very vulnerable to sunburn, which can cause skin damage, pain, and skin cancer. Follow the recommendations on your particular sunscreen when deciding how often to re-apply it. Normally, your hair collects the sweat beads that form on your head from natural perspiration. Unfortunately, sweat has nowhere to go but down if there’s no hair there to catch it. Luckily, antiperspirant offers relief if your sweat is bothering you. Simply apply it to your scalp before bed to allow it time to soak into your skin.  Spray on antiperspirant is the best option for your scalp, but you can use a stick or roll on if that’s all you have. It’s okay if you shower in the morning. The antiperspirant will still help control sweat because it’s already soaked into your pores. It’s easier to shave hair when it’s less than .25 inches (0.64 cm) long, so try not to let it grow longer than this. However, you don’t want to shave your head too...

TL;DR in English:


Take a bath with essential oils. Inhale essential oils through a diffuser. Make a cream or lotion with essential oils. Make a compress with essential oils.

The Ti plant is an evergreen shrub native to Hawaii with smooth blade-shaped leaves measuring about four inches wide and range from one to two feet in length. You can also use banana leaves.  Wrapping your mahi mahi in leaves helps the fish steam slowly, keeping its juices as it cooks. If using frozen leaves, be sure to de-thaw them first. For Ti leaves, cut each leaf along the center of the rib and throw the rib away. Look for fresh Ti leaves at a Mexican or Asian market. For banana leaves, soak the leaf in water to soften it (about 1 to 2 minutes) and tear 12 long strips from 1 or 2 leaves and boil for 30 seconds before draining. Cut 24 more strips, each about 12 inches by 3 inches and set them aside. Carefully slice your mahi mahi into 12 equal pieces (about 2 in. by 2 in).  If working with frozen filets, defrost them before cutting. Press lightly when cutting. The fish is delicate and you can easily crush the filets with too much pressure. Place your mahi mahi slices on a plate together and leave it in your refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. You can drizzle lemon or lime juice, salt, pepper, fresh or dried herbs, or any seasonings you prefer onto the mahi mahi pieces while they chill. Arrange two strips of Ti leaves or banana leaves on top of one another in a cross shape. Your piece of fish should fit in the center of the cross without overlaying.  You will use the sides of the leaves to wrap your piece of fish for steaming later. Top with grilled vegetables if you prefer. Begin with the lower strip and carefully fold the leaves over the filling by alternating strips in a cross shape. Use each new strip to fold the loose end of the previous strip over the filling.  Tuck the last strip beneath the packet. Tie closed with the thinner boiled strips you prepared earlier. Repeat for the rest of your mahi mahi pieces. Use a rack or steamer basket in a large pot with water until it rests just ½ inch below the top of the rack or basket. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Carefully place your fish...

TL;DR in English: Get some Ti or banana leaves to wrap your mahi mahi. Prepare your leaves. Cut your mahi mahi. Chill your mahi mahi slices. Pack your mahi mahi. Fold your leaves closed. Set up your steamer. Cook your mahi mahi. Serve.

A standard baseball cap can leave your neck and ears vulnerable to the sun. Putting on a hat with an extended brim guarantees that your neck will be slightly blocked from the sun. A straw hat can provide some protection, but a close knit fabric hat is even better.  Some hats come with a reflective underside that actually repels the sun’s rays. It’s estimated that your skin cancer risk lowers by 10% for every 2 inches added to your hat’s brim. This is a hat that fits close to your head, like a baseball cap. However, it also has long, dense fabric draping from the sides and back. This fabric covers your ears and neck, shielding them from the sun. Buy a shade cap from your local sporting goods or outdoor store. Bandanas are lightweight, square pieces of fabric that can be easily folded into a neck wrap. You can tie the ends to the front or side of your neck. Adjust the fall of the fabric until if covers your neck from all sides.  If it’s extremely hot, soak your bandana in cold water before placing it on your neck for extra relief. If you don’t have a bandana, any piece of square fabric can really work the same way. If you are hitting the beach or swimming, look for a rash guard shirt with a neck that extends a few inches above your shoulders. This will block the sun without overheating you in the process. Many outdoor companies also sell lightweight shirts with extended, sometimes detachable, neck pieces. Check that the top is relatively tight-fitting or it could flop down and expose part of your neck to the sun. Look for high-neck shirts, bandanas, or hats that are UPF rated. The UPF rating goes from 15 to 50+, with the higher numbers offering more protection from UVA and UVB rays. The UPF rating only holds true if the garment stays dry, though.  For example, if you are going to be in the sun for extended periods of time, go with a 40+ UPF rating, as it can block around 98% of UV rays. A rating between 25-35 is a good option for brief periods of sun exposure. Look for a sun wrap, which is a piece of fabric...

TL;DR in English: Wear a hat with a 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) brim. Don a shade cap. Wrap a bandana around your neck. Wear a high-necked shirt. Select UPF clothing.

Different services have different networks, shows, channels, and movies. Browse their offerings before you commit to a service and pick the one that has what you like. For example, if you love The Handmaid’s Tale, you’ll want to get Hulu, because it’s only available on that platform.  Keep in mind you’ll need internet, through an internet service provider or data provider, to stream TV. If you aren’t sure which service you want, most offer a free 1-week or even 1-month trial, so you can get a feel for what they offer. Visit the service’s website to choose your subscription package. You may have options for how many devices can connect to the service, whether there’s high definition streaming, or whether you want to watch your shows ad-free for a higher price.  For example, Netflix has 3 different plans. The basic plan is for 1 device with standard definition, while the standard plan is for 2 devices with high definition and the premium plan is for 4 devices with ultra high definition.  The monthly cost for a streaming service ranges from $8 to $10. If you choose one with live TV, the cost goes up to $20 to $40. To get your shows from a phone, tablet, or laptop onto the big screen, purchase a smart TV where you can access your service directly on the television or connect a streaming device, which is usually a stick or box that hooks up to your TV. Most services have apps for your smartphone or tablet that will let you watch your shows anytime, anywhere. Find the apps on iTunes if you have an iPhone or Google Play if you have an Android.  Depending on which plan you chose, the app may be included in the price of your subscription. If it’s not, you’ll likely have to upgrade to a plan with a slightly higher cost. Streaming apps use a lot of cellular data if you aren’t connected to Wi-Fi. Fortunately, some services now let you download shows to your phone in the app, so you can watch them without draining your data plan. One of the best things about a streaming service is that you can completely personalize what...

TL;DR in English: Select a streaming service based on the shows you want to watch. Sign up for a subscription to the streaming service. Use a streaming device if you want to watch on a TV screen. Download the streaming service app if you want to watch TV on the go. Customize your viewing experience with different features and add-ons.

If you or your doctor suspects you have a peanut allergy, you should make an appointment with an allergist or immunologist right away. This professional will first obtain a thorough history and physical. The focus of this appointment will be the response you experience when you encounter peanuts or tree nuts.   Accommodating food allergies can have a profound effect on lifestyle, quality of life and mental health. It is important to be prepared for a possible allergic reaction, but to also not live in fear based only on tests which may have false positive results. Ask about possible desensitization treatments called Immunotherapy to reduce the risk of a severe reaction from a small accidental exposure. There are several different Immunotherapy protocols, some of which are still in clinical trials. There are several immunologic tests that can be administered to provoke the IgE response. This response will help assess the scope of the peanut allergy, but ultimately the only way to be absolutely certain is with an Oral Challenge test.  If the patient has had anaphylaxis previously the doctor may choose to start with blood testing to avoid the risk of triggering that reaction again. Typically skin prick testing is the first to be performed. This test involves exposing you to a potential allergen. The possibility exists that you may experience anaphylaxis. Therefore, this test is done under close supervision of a skilled allergist and immunologist who are also skilled at treating anaphylaxis.  The allergist will perform an initial diagnostic, exposing you to common allergens. A small amount of calibrated solution will be placed on the skin and a special tool will painlessly make a shallow scratch. The allergist will diagram the scratch sites, to keep track of which area is injected with which allergen. You will be monitored for any acute and dangerous response that requires immediate attention. Otherwise, the injection sites are checked for the presence of a “wheal,” or raised itchy area, which would indicate an...

TL;DR in English: Visit an allergist or immunologist. Go through allergy testing. Take a skin prick test. Take a blood test. Take an oral challenge. Use the double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge as a last resort.

SDelete is a downloadable command line tool produced directly by Microsoft for use with the Windows command line. You can download this tool here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897443.aspx This utility is another secure delete application. As with Eraser, it overwrites a file's on-disk data so thoroughly that the original data patterns become unrecoverable. It does not delete the file names located in free disk space, but it does delete all the associated file data securely and completely. From your "Start" menu, access the "Run" option. Type cmd into the "Open" text field and click on the "OK" button or hit ↵ Enter on your keyboard. From within the Command Prompt, navigate to the directory in which the SDelete utility has been saved using the cd command.  For instance, if the program is located at C:\cmdtools, type cd C:\cmdtools in the command line. Likewise, if the program is located at C:\downloads, type cd C:\downloads in the command line. After typing the directions to the right location, hit ↵ Enter to navigate to that directory within the prompt. Use the SDelete tool by typing sdelete <path to file or directory>.  In this context, <path to file or directory> refers to the Windows path you would need to follow in order to reach the file or folder you are trying to reach. For example, you might type <c:\Users\Public\Public Documents\securedata.txt to reach a text file labeled as securedata.txt in your computer's public documents. As soon as you hit ↵ Enter on your keyboard, the utility will run and delete the file or folder indicated. Upon completion, you will receive confirmation within the Command Prompt that your data has been permanently deleted. At this point, you can close the prompt. The task has been finished.

Adding essential oils to your bath can be very beneficial for the body. Use a mild essential oil like lavender oil, rose oil, or sandalwood oil, while avoiding more spicy oils like cinnamon oil or thyme oil as well as citrusy oils like lemongrass oil.  Using essential oils in your bath can help with many skin problems, circulation problems, respiratory problems, stress, insomnia, and menstrual cramps. Usually use 5-10 drops of essential oils in a bath. Diffusers are devices that use candles to heat up essential oils so that they evaporate and permeate the air around them. They are easy to use and smell quite nice. Some diffusers use electricity instead of candles. This is a good option for people who do not tolerate carrier oils well. Use an un-perfumed base cream and add some essential oils to it. This can help with many skin conditions, including rashes.  Never make a cream or lotion stronger than a 2% dilution.  Use between 4 and 10 drops of essential oils per 50 grams of cream/lotion, depending on your age and sensitivity. Add essential oils to a hot compress and wrap it around your face or other body part. Use a cloth or washrag that has been soaked in warm water and add the essential oils.  This can be good for bruises, wounds, aches, headaches, and other skin problems. Use 3-5 drops of essential oils.
