Cup anemometers are relatively easy to make and are often used as an elementary school science project. This allows children to get an opportunity to learn about measuring wind speed by making their own device. To make an anemometer, you will need plastic cups, straws, a pencil, tape, and a push pin.  Position the straws in the shape of a cross and tape the middle. Then, staple the side of each cup to the end of one of the straws so they are parallel with the floor. Make sure all of the cups are facing in the same direction. Then, push a straight pin through the center of the straws and into an eraser on the end of a pencil. This will act as the axis. You should be able to blow on the cups so that they spin around in a circle. Use a coloured pencil and mark one of the cups. For example, you could put a red “x” on one of the cups. This will be the cup that is counted in order to determine how fast the cups rotate around an axis point each minute. You can either go outside and hold your device up in the wind, or you can use a fan to create airflow inside. To get a more accurate reading, make sure the airflow is not blocked by your body. Have another person count the number of times the marked cup spins around the axis in one minute. You can use a stopwatch to accurately time a minute. Record the number of times the cup spins on a piece of paper. For example, it may rotate 13 times in 1 minute.  You will need to complete this step four times in order to get enough data to calculate the average number of rotations per minute. For example, the next recording might be 15 times, followed by 12 times, followed by 17 times. Add up the numbers that you have recorded and then divide that number by four. This will give you the average number of rotations per minute.  For example, 13+15+12+17=57. Then divide that number by four (57/4=14.25) to get the average wind speed per minute. In this case, the speed is 14.25 rotations per minute.

TL;DR in English: Make an anemometer. Mark one of the cups. Hold the device in the wind. Count the amount of spins per minute. Calculate the average wind speed.

This will show the progression of your baby’s first years and how they changed and grew over that time period. Start the book with the pregnancy or the birth of the baby and have the book continue over the course of the baby’s first year or years.  If you adopted your baby, you could begin with adoption forms or the first day you met your baby. You can have themed pages in the memory book that focus on specific events or occasions. For example, a page dedicated to Christmas, a family vacation, or birthdays. Photos can also be displayed in groups according to themes, not just chronologically.  For example, you could have a “playing with siblings” page that contains photos spanning over time. Include captions that describe each event. If you are creating a memory book with more than just photos you should group items together. For example, if you include a lock of your baby’s hair you can pair it with a photo of your baby’s first haircut and a related story or anecdote about that experience. This will help to keep the book organized. Making a baby memory book is a creative activity. Have fun with it by adding decorations and your own artistic flare. Use decorations that reflect a general baby theme, such as stickers or images of teddy bears, toys, rattles, bottles, pacifiers, ABC blocks, etc.  To add a personal touch, include drawings as embellishments. You can also decorate certain pages to compliment their theme. For example, a bath time page could be decorated with bubbles, rubber duckies, and water drops. Consider using pastel colours, such as light blue, pink, green, yellow, grey, etc.

TL;DR in English: Use a chronological layout. Highlight important events. Group similar items together. Add decorations.

Choose someone who runs about the same speed as yourself if possible, as this provides encouragement and friendly competition. While you can train alone, training with a team of similar runners is a huge motivation booster. But, for some people a running buddy can slow you down, so you don't have to have a running buddy, but it's a good option to consider. Whether your goal is 10 minutes, 8 minutes or 6 minutes, you have to be extremely focused to break a personal record. The body will emulate your thoughts. If you believe something won't happen, then it most likely won't happen. after warmups and cool downs. Always do a 5 to 10 minute warmup and cool down. Adding warmups and cool downs to your routine will prevent injury. Posture is crucial and sometimes is what prevents many people from running faster.  Look at the horizon, not at your feet. Tilting your head at this angle will align and straighten your neck and back. Keep your shoulders level and loose. If they start to come up toward your ears, then stop running and shake them out or stretch them gently. Place your arms at a 90-degree angle and allow them to go forward and backward instead of across your body. Keep your fists unclenched with your finger lightly touching your palms. Run tall. If you find that your torso is slouching, then take a deep breath and feel your torso naturally straighten. Maintain the improved posture while you exhale. Keep your hips naturally aligned with your torso. Bending at the hips puts unwanted pressure on your lower back. Take the right size strides. With each step, your foot should land directly beneath your body with your knee slightly bent. If your foot is landing in front of your body, then you are taking too long of a stride. Drink plenty of water. Around 64 fluid ounces of liquid a day. Strength training will improve your stamina, and plyometrics will help you to bring bursts of speed to your run.

TL;DR in English: Get a running buddy. Set your mind to it. Stretch Learn how to run properly. Stay hydrated. Add strength training and plyometrics.

To understand relationship compatibility, you must first have an understanding of the signs of the zodiac and what they mean. The twelve signs are: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Each sign is derived from a configuration of astral bodies thought to dictate the characteristics of the people born during times when those bodies are prominent in the heavens. In addition to its constellation form, each sign is assigned an elemental significance, bearing one or more traits of the earth’s natural forces. The classifications are as follows: Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), Air (Aquarius, Gemini, Libra), Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), and Earth (Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo). A sign’s element comes from the role of its physical form in the natural order. Elemental classifications are a kind of rough grouping of attributes: Fire signs tend to be inquisitive, passionate, optimistic, while Water signs are loyal, sympathetic and driven; Earth signs are known for their rationale, practicality and stability, and Air signs are friendly, sociable and love making connections. As a general rule, zodiac signs that fall under the domain of Fire are believed to have the greatest compatibility with those of Air, while Water and Earth signs make the best pairings with their respective qualities. There are also other compatibilities that fall outside of the usual elemental matches; these mostly have to do with the complementary traits, preferences and emotional behaviors of the different signs.  Examples of strong compatibility through the zodiac include Pisces and Capricorn, Sagittarius and Aquarius, and even Virgo and Virgo—people of a certain sign are often quite compatible with another of their kind. Make a note of what types your sign is compatible with and be on the lookout for these types when dating. No two signs in the zodiac are truly incompatible—there are only varying levels of compatibility, the highest of which are expressed in the traditional...

TL;DR in English: Familiarize yourself with the different signs of the zodiac. Learn the elemental classifications of each sign. Check for compatibility between signs. Know which signs have low compatibility.

Cardio has a number of very specific health benefits, in addition to being an excellent way of burning fat and losing weight. It improves respiration, strengthens the heart muscle, reduces stress as well as the incidence of depression. Here are some cardio exercises that you can try to lose weight quickly:  Swimming Running Cycling Boxing Walking Team sports are great at motivating people to go the extra mile when it comes to working out. Much of the time, people lose themselves completely in the competitive aspect of sports, burning plenty of calories over several hours. Try joining a local intramural team, or make your own league playing with friends or co-workers. Here are some popular sports that are also great at burning calories.   Basketball. Running up and down the court is said to help burn between 812 and 946 calories per hour.  Soccer. Notorious for its grueling pace and non-stop running, playing soccer can help you burn between 740 and 860 calories per hour.  Ice hockey. A downright physical sport, hockey is expected to help you burn approximately 500 calories per hour.  Play football or flag football. Although it's difficult to say exactly how many calories you can burn playing football, a general estimate is that football players weighing 200 pounds burn upwards of 900 calories, while flag football players weighing 200 pounds burn upwards of 700 calories. Test your own determination and enduring by competing in an individual sport. Individual sports are, in many ways, a test of how far you're willing to go in order to achieve your goal. They're tests in which you often put your body on the line, but come away with something very tangible to show for it: Glory, or in our case, gutted calories.  Try rock climbing. Although it doesn't sound as intense a workout as basketball or soccer, rock climbing is indeed a calorie buster. Expect to burn between 810 and 940 calories for each hour of intense rock climbing. Try skiing or snowboarding. Even though it's hard to ski or snowboard the year round,...

TL;DR in English: Try aerobic, otherwise known as cardio, exercises. Try team sports. Try individual sports. If you're up for it, run a half-marathon or a full marathon. Incorporate strength training into your workout.

TL;DR in English:


Use a straight edge and grease pencil to mark your cut lines. Select a carbide wheel glass cutter to score the surface. Use one long, continuous motion to score each line. Apply pressure to break the glass along the score lines.

Most silk garments can be hand washed, even if the tag advises dry cleaning only. To begin washing the garment, fill a large basin or bowl with enough lukewarm or cold water to submerge the garment inside. Add in a few drops of gentle detergent to the basin of water. Try to use an all-natural or extra gentle brand to protect the gentle fibers of the silk. Then mix the water around with your hand to mix in the soap. You can also use baby shampoo if you don’t have a fitting detergent. Place the garment in the water of the basin and push it under the water once to get the whole garment wet. Then let the piece of clothing soak for about 3 minutes to let the soap interact with the garment. Take the garment and gently plunge it up and down in the water to move the water through the fabric and wash out any dirt or residue. This motion simulates the motion of a washing machine but is much more gentle. Remove the garment out of the water and pour the water down the sink. Then turn on the cold water and rinse the silk garment to wash out all the soap. Move the garment around under the jet of water to rinse the entire surface of the garment. Stop when you no longer see soap suds. To begin the process of drying the silk garment, lay a clean towel out flat on a table or counter. Place the silk garment on top of the towel, then begin rolling the towel from one end to the other with the silk garment inside. Once you have rolled the towel all the way up, unroll the towel and take out the silk garment. Don’t wring or squeeze the rolled towel, as this can damage the silk material. Hang the piece of clothing up to dry on a drying rack, making sure not to place it in direct sunlight, as this could fade or damage the fibers of the silk.

TL;DR in English: Fill a basin with cold water. Add a few drops of gentle detergent. Let the garment soak for three minutes. Agitate the garment around in the water. Rinse the garment in cold water. Absorb the excess moisture with a towel. Hang the garment to dry.

Sometimes a client may be difficult to work with, but in these cases you'll need to remain even more in control of yourself. Losing control of your emotions with a client could ruin your business with that individual, and it could even cost you your job.  Do not give an emotional response to anything your client says or does. Be respectful and remember that the client is always right. Remember the importance of being professional, even in the face of abuse. If you're really struggling to control your emotions, try counting to ten or taking a few deep breaths before saying anything. It's generally a good idea to let a client speak freely, but this is more important than ever when the client is being difficult. Your client may be uncooperative because they feel that they're not being heard, so letting your client do most of the talking in tense moments may help defuse the situation.  You can communicate a great deal with silence. Let your client talk, and respond when appropriate. Ask follow-up questions to reflect on or clarify anything you're not clear about. For example, you might say, "I think I see what you mean, but I'm a little confused about _____; could you clarify what you meant by that?" When a difficult client doesn't feel heard, that client may become more uncooperative. Engaging in small conversational habits to show engagement and concern can help reassure your client and make the situation less tense.  Make eye contact with the client while you're speaking to one another. Use short, small verbal cues to show that you're listening. For example, saying "Mhmm" or "Yes," or even just nodding in agreement, shows that you're engaged. How you say things can be just as important as what's actually being said. When you have a difficult client, it's important to be aware of how you're coming across in your manner of speech. Changing your voice's speed and pitch may help calm an irate client, especially when combined with other conversational techniques.  Slow down the speed of your speech and lower the...

TL;DR in English: Stay in control of your emotions. Spend more time listening than speaking. Show that you're engaged. Speak with confidence. Fulfill the client's wishes. Fire a client as a last resort.

To get the most surface area, try to slice the bread diagonally, instead of straight down. You do not need to coat both sides with olive oil. The oil will help create a "barrier" between the topping the bread, and prevent it from getting too soggy. Depending on how big your baking sheet is, and how many slices you have, you may need to make several batches. The rack should be about 4 to 5 inches (10.16 to 12.7 centimeters) from the heat source. When the edges turn golden brown, take them out.  You can also toast them under a broiler for 3 minutes, turning once.  For richer bruschetta, melt some butter in a large skillet. Heat the bread slices in the skillet on both sides until they are golden brown. After this point, you can start preparing the traditional tomato-basil topping, or you can use a different, more unique one.

TL;DR in English: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Slice a baguette into ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) thick slices. Use a pastry brush to coat one side of each slice with olive oil. Place the slices olive oil-side-down on a baking sheet. Bake the slices on the top rack in your oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Arrange the bruschetta oily-side-up on a platter.

When you feel comfortable and confident in your ability to crochet chains, you can start learning more advanced stitches.  Each time you practice a new stitch, you'll need to create a long foundation of chain stitches first. You'll need to work these new stitches into the loops of your chain. When learning a new stitch, try to create multiple rows using the new stitch. Continue creating rows of the same stitch until you become comfortable with the technique. After mastering the chain stitch and the slip stitch, the next stitches you should learn (in order) are:  The single crochet stitch The double crochet stitch The triple or treble crochet stitch After you've practiced your basic stitches, you can start using them to create simple projects like blankets and scarves.  Look for crochet patterns written for children since the instructions will be easier to understand. Check the stitches listed in the instructions before you begin. Make sure that you know how to create all of the required stitches.

TL;DR in English: Learn additional stitches. Pick out easy project patterns.

Makeup will be no help when your eye is still swollen, and the application might even aggravate your eye further and delay healing time. Just be patient and give your injury a few days to heal. If you have cuts or lacerations around your eye, don't risk infection by trying to cover it with makeup. You'll just have to own your black eye until it heals. A primer will keep your makeup on longer and keep it from settling into wrinkles and creases around your eye. Apply the primer wherever there is discoloration and you plan to use makeup. Dab it on gently with your ring finger, which is your weakest finger and is least likely to irritate your sink. Depending on the stage of healing, your eye could be red, black, purple, brown, green, or yellow. This shade will show through your concealer and ruin the illusion, so you need to neutralize it by applying applying the opposite color, or the color that is across the color wheel. A color correcting concealer can do this while also applying concealer, or you can improvise with blush or eyeshadow.  If your bruise is green, use red, and vice versa. If your bruise is blue, use orange or salmon. If your bruise is yellow, try purple, and vice versa. Use your ring finger to gently pat the concealer around your eye, covering the color-corrected areas and also blending a little bit out beyond. Allow the concealer to dry and apply another layer if necessary.  Once the concealer is dry, apply your foundation and other makeup as normal, being careful to blend the edges of your concealer with the foundation. If you didn't use primer, you can use a dusting of translucent powder to set the concealer. Eyeliner or mascara should be avoided until your eye is healed, as it draws attention to the area. Plus, tugging and pressing on your eyelid could cause more swelling.  Rock a bright, attention-grabbing lipstick that will have people focusing on your lips instead of your eye. Try a new hairstyle or take some fashion risks. To out-shine your shiner, try changing your hair color or wear...

TL;DR in English: Wait for the swelling to go down. Use a primer to keep your makeup in place. Cancel out the color of your black eye. Apply your concealer over the color-corrected area. Draw attention away from your eye.

A clean, successful break depends on precise measurements and accurate cut lines. Use a straight edge to designate where you want the glass to be cut. Use a grease pencil or sharpie to draw the lines on the glass where you want to cut it. The cut lines will be your guide for scoring.  You will use a glass scoring tool to “trace” over the cut lines. Be sure to your cut lines start at one edge of the glass and end at the another. A glass cutter, also known as a scoring tool, does not break the glass. Instead, it scratches a line into the surface of the glass, weakening it. Once the glass is scored, you can then break it cleanly along the score line. When cutting thick glass, make sure you use a cutter that has a carbide wheel tip.  Steel-wheeled cutters tend to be flimsy in comparison and require lubrication.  You can buy glass cutters at any hardware store. Grip the handle of the scoring tool firmly and vertically in your hand and place the wheel at the beginning of your first cut line. Line the straight edge up right next to the line for extra support. Using light pressure, run the tool along the line, right next to the straight edge. Make sure you apply equal pressure from the beginning to the end of each score line. Use one even, continuous motion. You will hear a clicking sound as the glass is scored. If you don’t hear it, press down a little harder. Place the scored glass on the edge of a hard surface, such as your work station, making sure that the scored edge of the glass is directly aligned with the edge of the counter. Push down quickly on the part of the glass which is hanging off the work station. It should snap off easily and cleanly in your hands. To make a clean break along curved score lines, its best to use a pair of running pliers.

Dissolve baking soda in water. Submerge the case in the water. Rinse the case. Get a soft cloth. Rinse out the plastic. Dry the plastic quickly. Stuff the case with newspaper.

Make sure everyone has the date and time of your departure in writing, so they don’t miss a flight or a train. If you’re traveling by plane, ask the group to get to the airport a few hours early and set up a meeting point so your trip starts off stress-free. Remind your group to bring any IDs necessary for traveling. If you’re going abroad, you’ll need your passport. If you’re staying in the country, make sure to bring your driver’s license or another government-issued ID card. Ask that everyone keeps their luggage to just one carry-on if you want to save time at the airport or space in the car. It’s fine to bring bigger luggage, but remind your group that they’ll have to carry all their own bags. Share luggage space and items like toothpaste, shampoo or camping tents. Tell your friends if you’ve planned a fancy dinner that they’ll need to wear nice clothes to, or if you’ll be going to places that require a dress code, such as some churches. Let them know if they’ll need swimsuits. Research the weather of your destination and send it to your friends ahead of time so everyone can plan their clothing appropriately. Send out currency information and exchange rates well ahead of time so your friends can order currency at the bank. Make sure everyone has cash on them in case some establishments don’t accept credit cards, and research the country’s tipping expectations as well.

TL;DR in English: Email out departure information. Pack consistently across your group. Communicate about clothing and weather. Deal with currency exchange if you’re going abroad.

If you want to let people know how about your sexual identity without explicitly stating it, you can definitely work some casual hints into conversation. Maybe you want your best friend to know that you are a lesbian. Drop some clues by saying something like, “Did you see that girl sitting next to me in Biology class? Wow, I could get lost in those beautiful eyes!" If you are bisexual, you could say, “I’m not sure who I’m more into in La La Land: Emma Stone or Ryan Gosling!” Try to find a way to bring up romantic relationships in an everyday conversation. You can do this with friends or family. For example, if you’re working towards coming out to your sister, bring up the subject of dating. You could start by asking her how her relationship is going. If she’s dating a man and you identify as gay, you could say, “He’s such a great guy. I’d love to find a man to date who is just as funny as Josh.” You can also make it less specific. For instance, if you’re bisexual you could say, “Intelligence is the most important thing to me in a relationship. I’m much less interested in gender.” Sometimes people just make an assumption that you are straight. For instance, if you are a single woman at a bar, it wouldn’t be unusual for a man to come up and offer to buy you a drink. It makes sense that you don’t feel like talking to a stranger about your sexual orientation. Try dropping some verbal clues.  You could say, “I really mean it when I say you are definitely not my type. It’s not personal. I’m just positive you’re not my type.” Of course, if you're into the person you should feel free to flirt back! Pop culture is a great way to naturally bring up sexual orientation. You could make comments about famous people that you admire who are LGBT. This might be a good strategy for gauging how your family feels about people who are LGBT. Try saying something like, “I love how Ellen Degeneres really owns her sexuality! Maybe someday I’ll be as comfortable and confident as she is.”

TL;DR in English: Talk about people you find attractive. Talk about dating. Drop verbal hints if someone is hitting on you. Talk about LGBT celebrities.

If you don’t want to have contact with the outside world, you’ll need to eliminate the reasons why people might want to contact you. Paying off your debts is important, so that you won’t be harassed for not paying your bills. It may be important to continue receiving mail, in order to receive important notices or other unexpected communications. You might also choose to receive supplies through the mail. If you’re living off the grid, get a post office box in a nearby town. You can check this periodically without needing to talk with anyone. It’s a good idea to have at least one person as an emergency contact. This person might periodically check up on you. He might also be someone you feel comfortable contacting if you need help. Make sure to ask this person if he will be your emergency contact.

TL;DR in English: Pay off your debts. Determine if you want to receive mail. Have an emergency contact.

If you really liked a certain book, you may also enjoy books by the same author or books in the same genre. There are websites, like Goodreads, that can help you find similar books to your personal favorites. Ask friends and family if they have suggestions on what to read. You could even create a social media post like, “My favorite book is All the Light We Cannot See. Does anyone have a recommendation for a similar book?” Writing down the titles of books as you read them is a fun way to track how much you have read and the different types of books you’ve gone through. Using the website Goodreads is an easy way to track your reading and find suggestions for new books to read. You can also share what you have read with friends and family and see what they’re reading.  Write down when you started and finished the book along with a few thoughts about the book when you finish it. Some libraries allow you to opt-in to a program that tracks the books you check out so you can view the list online whenever you want. Another great way to find new books to read is to browse through lots of books. Used bookstores are a great and inexpensive way to find some new and interesting books. The library is a free way to get new books, which is even better! If you don’t want to buy a bunch of new books, browse the bookstore and write down the titles that you want to read in the future. You can also see if your library has these titles on hand. The best way to maintain a new habit is to make it fun and set some goals. Set a goal to read a certain number of books each year and do your best to stick to it. You can start small with 5-10 or go all out and try to read 100! You could also set a goal to read all the books from a certain book list. Setting a goal gets you in the mindset to accomplish it and will help remind you to read every day. Achieving a reading goal is extremely satisfying and will make reading even more fun.

TL;DR in English: Find recommendations based on books you enjoyed. Keep a reading log. Browse bookstores and the library. Set reading goals.

Determine the exact placement of the mantel shelf above your fireplace. Most fireplace mantel shelves are placed 50-60 inches above the floor. When positioning your shelf, make sure to think about the combustible height. Since wood is a combustible  material, there are codes and guidelines that must be followed when placing a mantel over a combustible chamber, such as a fireplace.  If a mantel is 10" wide, the minimum distance from the top of the fireplace is usually 19". For an 8" wide mantel, the distance is 17", and for 6" it's 15".  After levelling the shelf, draw a line on the wall that corresponds to the edge of the mantel. Make a mark in the direct center of your fireplace. You want to make sure your mantel isn't one-sided. The cleat is what holds the mantel shelf to the wall. The mounting board should be long enough to fit the width of your shelf.  Measure the length of the cleat. Then, using that measurement, find the center line and mark that on the cleat.  You will line this mark up with the mark you made on the wall in Step 1. The top of the cleat needs to have an angled edge, not a straight edge. Take a saw and cut a 45 degree angle lengthwise along one edge of the cleat. This is what the mantel hangs on. Dry-fit the angled edge of the cleat into the mantel. Make sure they fit snugly together so that the mounting board will support the mantel. If you do not want to saw an angled edge, you can use a flat edged cleat. Make sure your cleat is wide enough for the mantel to be fastened to the cleat with screws. Dry-fit the mounting board into the mantel. Using a tape measure, measure the length from the top edge of the mantel to the bottom edge of the cleat. Draw a second line beneath the line drawn on the wall from Step 1 using the measurement you just took. If you do not want to measure the two pieces together, measure the length of the mantel and the length of the cleat. Add those two measurements together to determine how far to draw the second line beneath the first line. When you hang a mantel,...

TL;DR in English: Position the shelf on the wall. Prepare the cleat. Mark the cleat line on the wall. Locate the studs in the wall. Attach the mounting board to the wall. Install shelf.

About four tablespoons of baking soda for a quart of water should be more than enough if the only plastic you’re cleaning is the case. You can do this in a bowl or plastic tub in the sink. You can leave the case open inside the water or pour the baking soda water directly into the pouch. The baking soda will remove any smells, so you want to make sure the water gets inside of the case. Use warm water with enough detergent to make the water soapy. Run it under the water to make sure all the baking soda is gone, then drain the water you used. In a clean bowl, add a small amount of detergent to warm water. Dip this cleaning cloth into the water. Use the cloth to scrub out any leftover marks. Be sure to reach into the corners to make sure you’ve removed all of the dust and shavings that will make a bigger stain in the future. Some plastic scratches easily, so make sure your rag is soft. If you can’t reach a part of the case, use a soft brush such as a baby toothbrush. Put the case under a small stream of warm water. Turn the case over and open it up. Make sure all the soap is gone before you’re done. Use the dry end of a soft cloth. Get down into all the corners and the outside of the case. Some plastic can develop water spots or mold if left alone, so don’t air dry. If a bad smell hasn’t gone by this point, crumple up a newspaper, push it into the case, then leave it in an enclosed space such as in a kitchen container. The newspaper has the ability to absorb odors.

TL;DR in English:


Don't take yourself so seriously. Beat the joker to the punch. One up the joker.

Place them in several areas in the office that are logical to the types of materials you are recycling. For example, put a paper recycling bin in the mailroom and an aluminum can receptacle in the cafeteria and breakroom. Clearly label each bin appropriately, whether it’s for compost, paper, aluminum, or glass. Most of a typical office’s waste comes from paper. Simply setting your printers to print on both sides can easily cut your paper waste in half. And don’t forget to keep a well-placed paper recycling bin right there too! Energy-efficient light bulbs are available at most hardware and office supply stores. They typically cost around the same amount as most incandescent light bulbs. Try talking to your office manager or boss about making the switch; it should save you money on electricity costs as well! This is another easy switch with only a slight difference in cost. Chances are your office goes through a lot of paper. Try to eliminate as much waste as possible by switching to recycled paper for all your needs. Again, the office manager is most likely the person in charge of ordering supplies.

Before you clean your TV, make sure there's absolutely no power reaching it. To prevent damage to the TV, turn it off first with the remote before you unplug it. It's important to let the TV cool down before you clean it. Any water you use to clean the screen can be heated by the TV and cause damage. Use gentle pressure with the cloth to remove dust and fingerprints from the screen. Notice where the fingerprints are and make sure you wipe those areas more than the rest of the TV. Don't use more than gentle pressure as you could damage the screen. If the fingerprints come off when you wipe them with the cloth, stop cleaning the TV. It's okay to use isopropyl alcohol on your TV as it's a gentle alcohol. It won't damage your TV screen once it's diluted with water. Use your measuring cup to mix exactly 1 part water with 1 part alcohol.  If you don't have a measuring cup, mix the alcohol and water in a glass. Make sure that you don't use more alcohol than water. Do not use another chemical as a substitute for isopropyl alcohol. Your cloth should be damp when you use it on your TV. You should never use a cloth that is soaked in the solution, as this could cause damage to your screen. Gently wipe your screen with the cloth, spending more time on the parts of the screen with fingerprints. Dip a cotton bud into your solution and dry it with a cloth so it's slightly damp to clean the corners of the screen where it might be difficult to remove fingerprints with a cloth. Once you've removed the fingerprints completely from your TV screen, dry the screen with another cloth. Wipe the whole screen and pay special attention to the areas you focused on with fingerprints.  Leave the TV dry itself after wiping for 15 minutes or so. Plug the TV back in once it's completely dry.

TL;DR in English: Turn your TV off, unplug it, and let it cool down. Use a clean cloth to gently wipe the screen. Mix equal parts isopropyl alcohol and water in a measuring cup. Dip a clean cloth into your solution, wring it out, and wipe the display. Dry the screen with a clean cloth.

These are signs that the plant is trying to make up for insufficient sunlight. Don't move it straight to direct sunlight, since that damages most bromeliads. Move to an area of sunnier, mottled shade or nearer a window that receives indirect sunlight first. Move it again if the leaves don't correct themselves in a couple weeks. Move your bromeliad to a shader area of your yard, or place it further from windows that receive direct sunlight. Make a more drastic change in sunlight conditions if the sun is burning brown holes onto the leaves. If your plant should be able to withstand more sunlight according to a label or expert, it may have been cared for improperly by the previous owners. Acclimate it to the correct conditions by periodically moving it to a slightly brighter area. If the leaf size and overall colors haven't changed, but you notice one of these problems, the sunlight is probably fine but the plant needs more water:  Mist the bromeliad every day when it's not exposed to direct sunlight. Keep the central cup of the plant full of water if one is present. Plant other plants a short distance from your bromeliad. Each plant raises the humidity in its immediate area. Run a humidifier in the same room as your plant, or create your own non-powered humidifier by placing pebbles in a tray and filling it with water to just below the surface of the rocks. If you have an "air plant" with no soil to draw water from, you should be misting it every few days. To repair the dried out leaves immediately, immerse the air plant in water for a few minutes, then hold upside and check to make sure all the water drains out from between the leaves. Trapped water pockets can cause rot. This is a sign of too much mineral buildup. Take these steps to remove the problem and deal with the immediate issue:  Use rainwater or distilled water instead of tap water to care for your bromeliad. Pour water over the plant or into the central cup until the pot drains or the soil is good and moist. This flushes out the excess minerals, but...

TL;DR in English: Move the plant to an area of more sunlight if the leaves become larger and greener. Move the plant out of sunlight if it withers or if colors fade. Increase the humidity if the soil won't stay moist or the leaf tips turn brown. Rehydrate dry or withered leaves of an air bromeliad. Change your caring methods if you notice white buildup near the base of the leaves. Treat round dots or white patches that result from pest attacks.

You should pull each strip up off the card by placing your index finger under the end and pulling up. You can pull them off one at a time or three at once by using your index, middle, and ring fingers under the edges of three strips. Place the index finger of your hand that's not holding the Steri strips on one side of the wound. Then place the thumb of the same hand on the other side of the wound and press together. Applying the first strip at the middle of wound ensures that the wound closes evenly. Then you can apply the rest of the strips out from the original one in the middle. It doesn’t matter if you move to the right or left (or top or bottom) first. While holding the wound closed, place one end of the strip above the wound. Press down as you lay the strip over the wound and secure the other end under the wound. There should be an even amount of strip above and below the wound. How many strips you need will depend on the size of the wound. There should be an 1/8th of an inch (1/3rd of a cm) between each strip and they should all be applied the same way. Apply enough strips so that the wound is closed all the way across. The strips that are placed parallel to the wound will prevent the ends of the original strips from lifting. This ensures that your wound has time to heal before the strips start come up. Place the strips ½ inch (1 cm) from original strip ends.

TL;DR in English: Take the strips off the card. Hold the skin on either side of the wound closed. Start at the middle of the wound. Press the strips down. Place successive strips parallel to each other. Place strips parallel to the wound across the edges of the original strips.

There are affordable clippers marketed for general customers, but you’ll find these won’t be able to handle the challenge of a thick coat. While fine for a Yorkshire Terrier or Shih Tzu, a cheaper set won’t be up to the task of a Labrador, Collie, or Akita. Go with a professional-grade set from your local pet store.  Ask a store employee for help finding the best set for your dog’s breed. A professional set will typically cost between 130 and 160 US dollars. This is still cheaper than taking your dog to the groomers regularly. Professional clippers use interchangeable blades that can be removed and inexpensively resharpened, preserving their longevity. Many professional clippers come with a #10 blade, which trims too short for most long-haired dog breeds. When it comes to blade numbers, the higher the number, the shorter the cut.  Note that a #7 will risk pulling the skin between teeth, causing tearing and cuts. For the same reason, unless you are very experienced, you should make sure your blade is marked FC, or finish cut. The alternative, a skip-tooth blade, can pull and tear at skin if you aren’t experienced.    As an additional precaution, look for a clipper with a guide comb attachment. This comb will prevent the blade from getting too close to your dog's skin and cutting the dog. You won’t be able to use clippers on more sensitive areas, like around your dog’s eyes, private parts, and feet. Choosing blunted-edge shears is best for inexperienced groomers.  If the dog jerks or moves unexpectedly, a sharper edged shear might cause an injury. Thinning shears are a good choice, too. They only trim a specific area instead of the entire run of the shear blade, so you’re less likely to unintentionally cut out a chunk of fur. If you’re just giving your dog a quick trim, skip the clipper cut and just use shears on the detailed areas. If your dog’s full coat needs a trim, don’t use shears on the entire body. This is time consuming and you’ll have a higher risk of making a mistake or hurting your dog with the...

TL;DR in English: Choose a professional-grade clipper. Use #4 FC or #5 FC clipper blade. Go with blunted-edge and thinning shears. Avoid shaving your dog.

Recognize you are human, and you make mistakes just like everyone else, sometimes pretty hilariously. A little lighthearted ribbing might be good to help you lighten your perspective. If you are having a hard time finding the humor in a joke about you, try taking the perspective of an outsider. Retell the joke in your head but about somebody else, perhaps somebody you don't even know. This may help you reduce your defensiveness. If a person is sharing something about you that you might have liked to keep under wraps, take control of your story. Interrupt the joker by correcting or elaborating on some aspect of the story and then finish telling it. Others would probably prefer to hear it from you, so they will likely direct their attention to you rather than the joker. Embarrassing moments are less embarrassing when you make a joke of it, so take this as an opportunity to rid yourself of some negative feelings. Show the joker you aren't bothered by the joke by making an even better one about yourself. Self-depricating humor is excellent for diffusing tense situation, as it makes you more relatable. Others will feel more comfortable with themselves and the situation, when they see you can laugh at yourself.  This will shift other's attention to you and help you to take control of the situation. An easy way to set up your one up joke is "That was nothing, you should have seen the time I…"

Grab the bottom of it on the inside, and pull the gasket back. You want to be able to see the metal gasket retainer. You should use the hex head nut screwdriver to do this. Lift the edges of the seal to find the screws underneath that are holding in the plastic liner and door seal. Often, the screws hold in a plastic liner, which in turn clamps the door seal to the door. Once all of the screws are loose, the door seal should easily slide out from behind the plastic liner. Don't be too forceful when doing this step, since some plastic liners can be quite brittle and crumble if you are too rough. Position one of its corners on the top of the refrigerator door. Push the lip of the new gasket over the metal retainer, and slide it behind the metal retainer and around the entire perimeter of the refrigerator door. The best method is to start in the top corners, and work your way around the door. You don’t want to tighten the gasket retainer screws all the way. You want them to be snug. Use a bit of baby powder or talcum powder to prevent sticking. This will help to prevent the door seal from twisting as it meets the metal of the fridge.  You are looking for any warped areas of the gasket. Repeat this process several times. Once the gasket looks like it is properly fitted, tighten the screws more. Alternatively, you can heat the door seal up with a hair dryer to fix the gaps. This softens the door seal and allows you to stretch it.

TL;DR in English: Remove the gasket from the refrigerator door. Loosen, but do not remove, the screws that hold the metal retainer around the entire door. Pull the gasket out of the door to remove it once you have loosened the retainer screws. Take the new gasket, and install it. Use the hex head driver to screw the metal retainer in. Apply powder. Rub some powder around the hinge side corners of the door seal and where the seal slides. If this still doesn't prevent twisting, then wedge a screwdriver under the seal as you close the door, and leave it shut for an hour. Close the refrigerator door, and open it several times to inspect the gasket. Rub petroleum jelly along the hinged side of the door if you see some gaps.

Puree the strawberries in a blender first, then add the bananas. Blend everything together, then give it a taste. Add in your choice of sweeter, if needed, and blend one last time. Divide the smoothie between two cups, and serve.  4 bananas, sliced and frozen 2 cups (288 grams) strawberries, sliced 2 tablespoons (45 grams) agave nectar, date honey, or maple syrup (optional) Place all of the ingredients into a blender. If you want a thicker, colder smoothie, be sure to use frozen bananas. Blend the ingredients until everything is smooth, then pour the smoothie into two glasses. Serve the smoothies immediately.  2 bananas, sliced 1 cup (144 grams) strawberries, sliced ½ (120 milliliters) cup orange juice 6 ounces (165 grams) low-fat vanilla yogurt Place all of the ingredients listed below into a blender. Blend them together until everything is smooth, about 1 minute; pause the blender and scrape down the sides as needed. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass, and serve it promptly.  1½ cups (216 grams) strawberries, sliced and frozen 1 banana, sliced ½ cup (120 milliliters) orange juice Place all of the ingredients listed below into a blender. Pulse the blender until everything is smooth. From time to time, you may want to pause the blender, and use a rubber spatula to scrape down any un-mixed smoothie. Distribute the smoothie between two glasses, and serve right away.  1 cup (240 milliliters) unsweetened almond milk or skim milk ½ cup (125 grams) fat-free plain Greek yogurt 2 cups (288 grams) strawberries, sliced and frozen 1½ ripe medium bananas, sliced ½ cup (40 grams) quick oats or old fashioned oats 1 tablespoon (22.5 grams) honey ½ teaspoon vanilla extract Place all of the ingredients listed below into a blender. Pulse the blender until everything is smooth. From time to time, pause the blender, and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula. Add more honey if desired, then pour it into a tall glass and serve it immediately.  1 cup (250 grams) plain or Greek yogurt ½ cup (120 milliliters) milk of choice 1½...

TL;DR in English: Switch out the yogurt, milk, and ice for frozen bananas to make it vegan. Give the smoothie a tropical twist with orange juice. Use frozen strawberries and orange juice for a tropical vegan smoothie. Add some oats for extra fiber and texture. Use yogurt and chia seeds for an extra dose of protein. Try a vegan chia smoothie instead. Make a smoothie bowl for a more filling meal.

Post sticky notes or hang large blank pieces of paper in places you frequent, like the bathroom or kitchen. Add new words and their definitions to the hanging paper as you encounter them. That way you’ll find yourself frequently encountering them as you go about your day.  Include a written definition of the word if you’re struggling to remember it. You can also draw a small picture depicting the meaning of the word beside it to help you build the association. For foreign vocabulary, try writing words for everyday objects like "mirror" and "table" on sticky notes. Attach the sticky notes to the objects the words refer to to strengthen the association between the word and the object in your mind. Writing new words into sentences that are relevant to your own life can help you build strong and relevant associations. For example, if you want to learn to use the word “azure,” a term for a deep blue color, write it into several sentences that relate to your current situation or surroundings: “My new shampoo bottle is a striking azure color” or “the sky this summer has been a particularly vivid azure.” The more fun you can make your vocabulary learning time, the more likely you are to do it and to learn from it.

The simplest option is to leave your hair down, but for a more elegant look, you can also pin your braids into a bun at the top of your head.  For a more traditional, snake-covered style, leave your hair down.     For something a little more classy and subdued, wrap the braids into a bun and pin it to the top of your head.    Wrap small rubber snakes in between your braids, tying them in place with additional elastic bands when needed.  If wearing your hair down, wrap one to three snakes around each braid. If you have a smaller number of braids, go for three snakes per braid. If you have a large number of braids, stick with one snake per braid. Weave the snakes in between the braids and tie them loosely in place with the elastics. Make sure that some are looking up toward the top of your head while others are hanging their heads down.     If wearing your hair up, weave anywhere from four to six snakes into the braids. Some snakes should face outward while others should hang down. Secure dangling snakes in place by tying a thread to a bobby pin and poking that thread into the snake with a sewing needle. Slide the pin into your hair and adjust as needed to hold the snake.

Feed your goldfish small amounts multiple times a day. Know the proper way to prepare each type of food. Observe your fish when you feed him. Devise a feeding plan if you’ll be traveling.

A monopod will also reduce the fatigue you may experience when holding a heavy camera or using heavy lenses. Fatigue in such situations can be significantly reduced with a monopod, especially when you have long periods of time in between each shot. You may need to purchase a tripod mount ring to attach your monopod to your lens if your monopod didn't come with one. Monopods can be set up a monopod with a few simple motions. If you are photographing a fast-moving sporting event or want to observe wild animals that will be frightened away by too much noise or movement, a monopod will give you an advantage over a tripod. This is especially true when you're photographing on slanted grounds, because a tripod's legs will need to be readjusted every time you move. You will have more freedom with aperture and shutter speed if you steady your camera with a monopod, as opposed to just holding it. A tripod, which keeps the camera completely still, is still the best method of taking photographs in these conditions. The biggest benefit of a monopod over a tripod in these such conditions is its ease of use and portability. Bring a monopod instead of a tripod when you know you will be working in crowded conditions. Monopods require far less width than tripods. Set the timer on your camera, and then hold the monopod with two hands and raise it up. In situations when you want to get a shot from a higher position, such as a dance floor, a large crowd, or a bird nest, this can be an effective way to do so.

TL;DR in English: Mount your camera lens on a monopod to lessen shake when using a long lens. Use a monopod when you don't have time to set up a tripod. Take low-light photographs using a monopod. Use a monopod in crowded situations. Use the monopod as a reach extender for high up shots.

Telling someone that you are having an asthma attack is a good idea, just in case you need to go to the hospital. You may also feel less anxious if you know that that person is going to be by your side until the attack is over. If you are out in public by yourself, then you will need to ask a stranger. Try saying something like, “I am having an asthma attack, but I don’t have my inhaler. Would you mind sitting with me until my breathing goes back to normal?” Drinking one to two cups of caffeinated coffee or tea may help your body fight off an asthma attack as well. Your body will turn the caffeine into theophylline, which is an active ingredient in some asthma medicines. The warmth of the liquid will also help to break up phlegm and mucus, which may make breathing easier. Do not drink more than two cups of coffee or your heartbeat may become rapid. Pressing on lung acupressure points may help to relax your muscles and get your breathing back under control. Apply gentle pressure to the area in the front of your shoulders, just above your armpits. Press on one shoulder at a time for the same amount of time on each side. If you have someone nearby who can help you, there is also a pressure point on the inner part of your shoulder blade, just about an inch below the upper tip. Ask a friend to press on these pressure points for a few minutes to help relieve your asthma attack. Steam can open up your breathing passages and make breathing easier. If you are at home, then turn the shower on hot and sit in the bathroom with the door closed for about 10-15 minutes. Breathing in the steam may help ease your breathing. You can also turn on a humidifier if you have one, or fill your bathroom sink with hot water and lean over it with a towel over your head to capture the steam. Sometimes a change of location may be what you need to reduce stress and help you get your breathing under control. The change of scenery might help you to relax and get your breathing back under control. For example, if you are at home, try moving...

TL;DR in English: Ask someone to sit with you. Drink a cup of coffee or strong black tea. Try acupressure. Use steam to open of breathing passages. Go somewhere else.

Perineal massages can be harmful if you use too much force, not enough lubricant, or perform them incorrectly. To be safe, speak with your doctor about your plans. This may help you relax before the massage, and loosen up the muscles that surround your perineum. Try adding bath oils to soften your skin and calm your mind. The tissues in your vagina and perineum are very delicate. Cutting your nails short will prevent tearing the skin or discomfort of the body. You don’t want to introduce germs into the birth canal, so be sure to properly wash you hands before you begin. The best place to perform this massage is in bed. Prop yourself up with pillows to support your back, and bend your knees. You need to be relaxed during the massage, so it is important that you find a place that allows you to get comfortable. The massage can also be done sitting on the toilet with your legs elevated. You will need to lubricate your thumbs and the perineum tissues with a water-soluble lubricant. The best lubricants to use are vitamin E oil, almond oil or olive oil. Rest your fingers on your buttocks. Press down towards the anus and to the sides of the vaginal wall. Hold your thumbs in this position for about one minute. You will begin to feel a slight burning or stretching sensation.  Remember to keep breathing deeply throughout the massage. Consciously relax your muscles if you feel a tense muscle. Use a “U” shaped movement by going back and forth, and up and down. Try to relax your muscles while you are performing the massage. Perform this motion for two to three minutes. By the end, you should spend about 10 minutes on the massage. It may take up to several weeks of this daily massage before you notice that your perineal area has more elasticity. After the massage, you may way to take a shower, or bath, to wash off the lubricant.

TL;DR in English: Check with your healthcare provider before you begin. Sit in a warm bath for ten minutes. Cut your fingernails short so that they can't scratch you. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Get in a comfortable position. Use a lubricant. Place your thumbs about 1 inch (3 cm) inside your vagina. Gently massage the lower half of your vagina. Repeat the massage. Wash up.

Probably the easiest  way to get rid of a skin tag is to ask your doctor to remove it. This can be done quickly, right in the doctor's office. The doctor will first clean around the tag with some alcohol, then use a sterilized scissors or scalpel to snip it away.  Small tags will be removed without an anesthetic, and will be no more painful than a mosquito bite. If you have a large tag or multiple tags in the same area, the doctor may apply a numbing cream or use a local anesthetic before removing. The skin tag may bleed a little at first, but will usually heal within 24 hours. A very effective method for removing skin tags is to have them burned off with an electric cautery at the doctor's office. This will cause the skin tag to turn black and fall off almost immediately.  Unfortunately, most health insurance providers consider skin tag removal to be a cosmetic procedure, so you will need to cover the cost of this treatment yourself. The exception is suspicious looking or symptomatic skin tags, which may be covered under your health care policy. Laser removal is a common and relatively painless way to remove skin tags. A dermatologist will use a concentrated laser to reduce the skin tag. Keep in mind that skin tags are completely harmless and it is not necessary to remove them for health reasons. If the skin tag on your neck is small and not causing you any irritation, you should consider simply leaving it alone.

TL;DR in English: Have the skin tag surgically removed. Get the skin tag cauterized. Get the skin tag removed with a laser treatment. Leave the skin tag alone.

Dirt or grease on the blade may result in an uneven sharpening of your knife. Sharpening the blade may be easier if you briefly dip the cold blade into boiling water right before you begin sharpening it. There are numerous types of files and sharpeners on the market, including  Japanese water stones, stones with diamond encrusted surfaces, and stones with different grades of grit.  These different tools will give you slightly different results. For most purposes, a basic, two-sided sharpening stone, available for about $10 at most hardware stores, will be adequate.  There is also a knife sharpener you can buy specifically for the purpose of sharpening Swiss Army Knives, available from the company's online store. There is some disagreement as to whether it is important or even beneficial to lubricate your sharpening stone. If you choose to lubricate yours, a variety of different options are available.  Some people believe that lubricant should be used because the friction that results from sharpening the blade has the potential to warp it, or because the lubricant will help float away metal particles that can dull the blade during the sharpening process or clog the pores of the stone itself.  Others believe lubricant is unnecessary, slows the process the down, and may actually dull the blade by washing the metal particles over the blade during the sharpening process.  If you opt to use a lubricant, you can use cutting oil, mineral oil, kerosene, or WD-40 on natural stones, or water on diamond stones.  Before applying oil, consult any instructions that came with your sharpening stone. Some types of stones can be ruined by the use of oil.

TL;DR in English: Clean the knife thoroughly. Select a sharpening tool. Lubricate your stone if desired.

A good rule of thumb is to feed your goldfish no more than he can eat in about one to two minutes. Goldfish can literally eat themselves to death, so you need to be very careful that you do not need overfeed your goldfish. Feeding him up to three times a day should be sufficient. Grab just enough food that you can easily pinch between your thumb and index finger. This is about the amount of food that you should feed your goldfish. With the many different types of goldfish food that are available, you will need to know the proper way to prepare each type of food. This will lessen the likelihood that your goldfish will experience digestive upset after eating.  Pre-soak flakes to prevent your goldfish from swallowing air bubbles when he eats the flakes; swallowing air bubbles can lead to swim bladder problems and constipation. To pre-soak the flakes, dip them in the tank water a few times before fully placing them in the water. Feed them one to two times a week. Pre-soak pellets for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are about twice their original size. Place a small amount of tank water in another container and place the pellets in this container. After they have softened up and increased in size, add them to the tank. Feed the pellets two to three times a week. Pre-soak freeze-dried food in a small container of tank water to prevent digestive upset.  Completely thaw frozen foods before adding them to your goldfish’s tank. Place the food in your refrigerator for the thawing process. Peel, chop, and soften fruits and vegetables. Boiling is a good way to soften vegetables.  Fruits and vegetables can be given as occasional treats. Thoroughly rinse live food if you find it yourself in the environment. Rinsing earthworms with water will help to remove the dirt and potential disease-causing organisms that may be in the dirt. To feed worms, cut them into small pieces before putting them in your goldfish's tank; you could even try placing the small pieces on a toothpick and feeding them to your fish that way. Feed the...

Ask questions about your dog's illness, prognosis, and treatment options available. Make sure to write everything down or bring along a friend or family member who will help you remember your options.  Your feelings of grief will make it difficult for you to remember everything. If your veterinarian indicates that there may be few or no options that can treat your dog's illness or condition, ask about other options to consider and the costs involved, including the following:  Continuing to provide treatment at home and the medications available.  Discuss about palliative care to help with pain management and the costs. Putting the dog down in a safe space under direction of a veterinarian.  Discuss when and how this is done and the costs involved. Treatment options to prolong life or surgeries needed.  Understand the limitations, such as only prolonging a dog's life for a few more months and the possibly of high vet bills. Use the HHHHMM Quality of Life Scale to assess your dog's health and condition, as indicated in the criteria below.   Talk with your vet about what score you believe your dog has in terms of quality of life, and compare this to the score your vet gives. You can also ask other members of your household or close friends and family to provide a score as well.

Coil springs can be found on a car's front and/or back suspension, and are attached onto the A-frame or the axles. You can remove the stock coil springs and replace them with shorter springs, or take your springs to a spring shop and have the coils softened and shortened.    Use a grinder, cutting wheel, or torch to cut them. Start with cutting in quarter- or half-coil-turn increments, because cutting a coil is a permanent action. You may have to install shorter bump stops or cut your stock ones to fit.

The more you know about the magazine, the more likely you'll find one of your photos that will be the perfect fit. If you are looking for a particular subject, try picking up magazines at a local store. You can find ones focused on particular topics, plus you can see what kinds of photos different magazines accept without spending large amounts of money to subscribe to all of them. Every magazine has a different style, and you need to pick one that fits your photos. For instance, if you take dark, grainy pictures, you may not want to submit to a nature magazine that mostly publishes sun-filled, sharp landscapes. Pick magazines that align with what you like to photograph. You can branch out, but don't try magazines that are beyond your current capacity. Remember, you may not have the perfect image for the magazine at the time, but you still want to be in their general subject area. You don't want to send a picture of schoolkids to a culinary magazine or a picture of a city skyline to a nature magazine. You want to show them that you can give them what they want in the future, even if you don't already have the perfect image. If you're a beginner, you may not make it into big national magazines right away. However, you can start out trying for smaller magazines. For instance, maybe your local nature conservatory puts out a monthly magazine, and that may be a great place for you to begin.

TL;DR in English: Use what you know. Visit a bookstore, magazine stand, or your local library. Pay attention to aesthetics. Choose by subject. Pick the right fit for your skill level.

Grab one of those old cursive practice books that you had to use in elementary school and start practicing each letter in the alphabet. Just remember that everyone's writing is distinctive, so your handwriting will be cursive (and attractive) it will be unique to you.  You want to make sure that your letters are evenly spaced, so practice on lined paper so you can see the spacing. There are lots of free cursive worksheets and workbooks, either on the internet or in your local library. The best way to write cursive is to put the writing utensil between your forefinger and your middle finger, with fingertips and thumb place near the pen or pencil's tip. This position helps to alleviate the pain in forearm, wrist, and thumb. Cursive is basically all about the connections between letters. It is supposed to be used as a rapid method of writing. As such it comes from the Latin word "currere" which means "to run" and so cursive translates as "a running hand." Keep that in mind when you're forming the connections.  The connections are simply the "air" between the letters when you would normally lift your writing utensil. Make sure to close gaps on the tops of words. If they aren't closed it will be difficult to tell if a lowercase letter is an "a" or a "u."

TL;DR in English: Start with the alphabet. Hold your writing utensil properly. Learn connections.

TL;DR in English:


Maintain physical intimacy. Never feel compelled to have sex or be physically intimate if you aren’t willing or are uncomfortable in the situation. Don’t necessarily place the responsibility for initiating physical contact on one partner (unless that’s the dynamic you both prefer).

Use an antibacterial soap to kill the most germs on your hands. Scrub your hands thoroughly so you clean between your fingers and under your nails. Keep lathering in the soap for at least 20 seconds before rinsing and drying your hands.  Use a paper towel to dry your hands if possible since fabric towels develop bacteria over time. Fresh tattoos are more prone to bacteria and getting infected since they’re open skin. If you don’t know how long to wash your hands for, sing “Happy Birthday” 2 times while you’re scrubbing. Your tattoo artist will cover your tattoo with a large bandage or plastic cling wrap before you leave to help keep your skin moist. Wait at least 1 hour after getting your tattoo and until you have time to wash it. When you’re ready, slowly peel the wrapping off the tattoo and throw it away.  It’s normal if you see beads of ink on the surface of your skin since it will ooze blood, ink, and plasma to form scabs. If the bandage or plastic sticks to your skin, do not try and rip it off. Wet the wrapping with lukewarm water until you can peel it off. If you have plastic wrap over your tattoo, take it off as soon as you’re able to since it restricts air flow and will prevent your tattoo from healing quickly. Your tattoo artist may instruct you differently on how long to leave the wrapping on. Follow their instructions, and contact them if you have any questions. Cup your hands underneath the faucet and slowly pour the water over your tattoo. Gently rub the water over the entire tattoo so it feels damp. Be careful not to apply too much pressure on your tattoo since it may sting or feel painful.  You can also wash your tattoo in the shower. Avoid using hot water since it will burn or irritate your tattoo. Use a standard liquid hand soap that doesn’t contain any abrasives. Slowly lather the soap onto your tattoo in small circular motions. Make sure you cover the entire tattoo with soap before rinsing it off with lukewarm water. Avoid using a washcloth or an abrasive cloth while washing your tattoo...

TL;DR in English: Wash your hands before touching your new tattoo. Remove the wrapping around your tattoo after at least 1 hour. Rinse your tattoo with clean lukewarm water. Clean your tattoo by hand using mild antibacterial soap. Pat your tattoo dry with a clean towel. Apply a thin layer of healing ointment to your tattoo.

When you wake up in the morning, all you have to do is wash your face. If you need your morning shower to help wake up, go ahead and take it, but try to just wash your body, and leave your hair dry to save time. Go through your wardrobe, and pull out the clothes you want to wear. Then, decide what accessories or shoes you want to pair with your outfit. This will save you from trying to decide what matches in the morning. Also, it will keep you from frantically searching for a certain top or missing shoe in the morning. Your outfit will look more put together, and you will have less stress in the morning. You may have stayed up late, but you need to avoid hitting the snooze button. The longer you stay in bed, the less time you have to get ready. It may be tempting, but you will regret it when you are trying to look good for the day.  Try to give yourself at least thirty minutes in the morning to get ready. The best way to feel refreshed in the morning, and be ready to get out of bed, is to get plenty of sleep each night. Try to set a bedtime routine that allows you to get at least eight hours of sleep every night.

TL;DR in English: Take your shower in the evening. Plan what you are going to wear before you go to bed. Leave yourself enough time to get ready.

This can be done by consulting the equipment's operating guide, often found inside the electrical control box or the air handler unit.  Many systems also have a label on the unit's cabinet that will have the manufacturer's specifications.  Refrigerants commonly used in fairly modern systems are R-22 (HCFC-22)and R410A, sold under names like SUVA410A and Puron. This is important in order to make sure you get the right type of refrigerant and the correct charging manifold set for charging. Normal inverted flare schrader valve connections can be equipped with quick connect adaptors to lessen the loss of refrigerant during the connecting process, and they will decrease the chance of injury from liquid refrigerant contacting your skin in the process.  Which ever connection you use, understand that even with a system switched off, the refrigerant is under high pressure, and it is dangerous. The thermostat and its related circuitry are the on/off switch for your system.  You will be turning off the power to the unit itself in the next step, but you want to start and stop the unit using the thermostat, not the disconnect, as this is not what the disconnect is designed for. The outside unit should be equipped with a fused disconnect or circuit breaker located near the unit.  Remove the fuses or turn the breaker off before continuing.  With the AC unit off, hook up the gauges according to instructions. This will be with the low pressure side (the small hose/blue hose) on the gauges and the high pressure side of the system (the red hose).   Older manifold gauges may not have color coded hoses, usually, the low pressure gauge and connector is on the left facing the gauge, the high pressure is on the right, and the supply hose, which is connected to your refrigerant tank, evacuation pump, or other attachment, is in the middle. With the gauges hooked up, turn on the AC and wait 15 minutes for the system to stabilize. The blue gauge should have dropped if the system needs to be recharged.  To verify this, use a temperature...

TL;DR in English: Determine the type of refrigerant you need for the AC system. Determine what type of charging connections your system is equipped with. Turn your air conditioner off at the thermostat. Turn the power off on your air conditioning system. Take a reading on the gauges.

Every day, follow a routine before going to bed. This will help your body get used to the activities and make your sleeping patterns more regular. The routine can be anything that works well for you. Activities such as reading, washing your face, brushing your teeth, changing into your pajamas, preparing tomorrow’s lunch, or reading a book are common, productive ways to get ready for bed.  Set a reminder on your phone to start your routine at the same time every night if you tend to struggle with following schedules. Whatever routine you choose, make sure it isn't too stimulating and that you associate it in your mind with sleeping and rest. Avoid screens after the sun goes down if you can. Your phone, computer, and television will only keep you up at night. Get some blackout curtains, close the blinds, and shut the lights in the hallway off when it’s time to sleep. Your brain’s natural response to light is to wake up, so removing the sources of light is key to productive sleep. Scientifically, exposure to light also decreases the production of melatonin, a hormone that encourages sleep. Even smaller light sources can disrupt sleep. Turn alarm clocks to face away from you and flip your phone face down on your nightstand to keep the light from popping on if you get a notification. If your bed is old and makes your back sore, replace it. If your pillows are lumpy and worn down, get new ones. Get a cozy comforter that makes you feel relaxed in bed. These preferences can vary from person to person, so adjust your setup based on what feels good to you. Noise also causes uncomfortable sleeping arrangements. If you live in a noisy area or have noisy roommates, use earplugs or soft, calming music to block out annoying and loud sounds. You can also use white noise or a fan to drown out background noise. When you can't go to sleep, you may get annoyed and frustrated. Try not to, because this will only make it harder for you to go to sleep. If you can’t sleep, don’t fight it. Just get out of bed and read a book or walk...

TL;DR in English: Maintain a pre-bed routine that helps you wind down for sleep. Block out light sources in your bedroom so it’s totally dark. Create a comfortable sleep environment that suits your preferences. Get out of bed for a few minutes if you can’t fall asleep in 15 minutes.

Add a gentle laundry detergent to the machine, choose cold as the water temperature, and begin running the gentle or delicate cycle. When the machine is about three-quarters of the way filled with water, add the shoes and close the lid. Once the washing machine has completely finished its cycle, it’s time to remove the shoes from the machine. Place them in an area that is away from direct sun, heat, or air vents. Allow to dry overnight.

TL;DR in English: Wash in a washing machine on the gentle cycle. Air dry the shoes.

Physical touch—kissing, cuddling, holding hands, embracing, and having sex (if it’s sexual relationship)—is important to the intimacy of a relationship.It’s quite common to begin to lose physical intimacy after the initial infatuation phase wears off, which makes it that much more important to pay careful attention it, particularly after you’ve been dating for a while. Agree to communicate openly and honestly with each other about physical intimacy and to respect the other’s wishes if the other person says no. Be mutually engaged in the physical aspect of the relationship.

TL;DR in English:


Tap on "Find Friends". Connect to Facebook. Follow your Facebook friends.

This can be difficult because you don't want to seem desperate or overly hurt, but if your crush didn't give you a good answer as to why they didn't want to go out with you, it could be good to meet up with them and ask a few questions to gain some insight as to what they are thinking.  If they very bluntly stated why they didn't want to go out with you, like "I'm not interested in you for this reason" or "I'm going through something difficult and don't need the stress of dating," then you don't want to irritate them by asking for more explanation. People are often caught off-guard when asked out, so a lot of times they come up with an answer on the spot that may not be the complete truth. Calmly approach your crush and ask them if they wouldn't mind grabbing coffee (not as a date) because you wanted to talk through some things with them. Then, when you are together, ask if there was a specific reason they didn't want to go out with you or if your approach was what turned them off. Do not then proceed to ask them out again, but thank them for giving you some insight and be understanding and be patient. Sometimes it's the essence of the relationship that is what caused the rejection. Are you asking out your best friend and they are worried that it will ruin the relationship? Have there been conflicts recently that have left your crush confused or irritated with you? Thinking through your relationship can be helpful to know if it was part of the reason you were rejected.  If you asked out someone you met once at a party or on a night out, this doesn't necessarily apply to you, but if you asked out a good friend it's possible that they don't want to ruin your relationship or there's something else going on in their life that's keeping them from jumping into something new. It's also possible that at this point they just aren't attracted to you, which in that case it just takes time and patience before you can ask them out again. Did you just ask someone out that you didn't know in a very demeaning manner, were...

TL;DR in English: Figure out why they rejected you. Think over your current relationship. Examine your approach. Respect their answer. Be patient.

Tightly braided styles can dry up the moisture in your hair and make the scalp itchy, so it’s important to use a conditioner that will replenish that moisture. When choosing your conditioner, look for naturally hydrating ingredients such as aloe and shea butter.  You should also make sure to avoid products with harsh ingredients such as sulfates and parabens, which can damage your hair. If you want a faster and easier application, you can always choose to use a leave-in conditioner. After pouring the conditioner and water into the bottle, close it and shake the ingredients together. Keep shaking until they combine into a milky liquid. Thoroughly and evenly cover all of your hair with the diluted conditioner. This is best done in the shower, where you don’t have to worry about making a mess. Stay in the shower while the conditioner sets. This will restore the moisture to your hair and leave it hydrated. Go section by section and let the water wash through your hair. Massage your roots with your fingertips to remove any excess conditioner from the scalp.

TL;DR in English: Select a hydrating conditioner. Mix equal parts conditioner and water in an applicator or spray bottle. Pour or spray the mixture over the scalp and braids in the shower. Let the conditioner sit for 5-10 minutes. Rinse the conditioner out thoroughly in the shower.

Read back through your fable in its entirety and verify that all the pieces are in place and work in harmony.  Watch out for places where the fable may be overly wordy or complicated. The nature of fable is a simple, concise story that doesn’t mince words or lapse into purple prose. Verify that each piece--setting, character, conflict, resolution, and moral--is clearly established and easily understandable. After you have nailed down the story’s content, go back through your fable again, this time focusing on sentence-level issues of grammar and clarity.  For a guide to making sentence-level edits, go here. Recruit a friend or colleague to read over your text. A second set of eyes is often key to catching errors. Once all the finishing touches are in place, it’s time to get your work out to an audience.  The easiest and most logical place to start is with family and friends: post your fable on Facebook, post it to a blog and share the link through social media, and/or submit to sites that publish creative writing. For an extensive listing of online literary magazines that accept submissions, go here.

TL;DR in English: Review and revise. Edit for grammar and style. Share your work!
