Weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. Do little favors for your family members. Ask adults about their day. Stick to your word.

Before every school year, your school should provide you with a list of the items you need for your grade. If you don’t receive one of these before the school year begins, you can usually find them at supply stores like Office Max or Staples. The most common items for middle school include pens, #2 pencils, notebooks, wide-rule loose leaf paper, a 3 ring binder, and scissors and tape. Other materials you may need include a USB flash drive, a TI calculator, index cards, a weekly planner, and a stapler. You don’t want to overload your backpack, so try to take only the essentials when you can. For example, having one binder separated into multiple subjects will help save you space compared to multiple folders. You should also try to take two pencils and two to three pens, as well as a highlighter, and your weekly planner. This way, the rest of your space can be dedicated to textbooks and notebooks.  You’ll have a better idea of exactly what you’ll need day-to-day after the first week of class. If you have money for lunch, try to keep it zipped up in an inside pocket. If you don't have one in your bag, try to keep it in a change purse or wallet instead. This will help keep your money safe and together, so you aren't searching all over for it during lunch time. If you have a block schedule with different classes on different days, try separating your materials into marked piles. For example, you can mark everything for one day with a specific color like red, while the other day is blue. Then you can switch them out of your backpack when necessary. Now is the moment of truth; you want to make sure you can fit everything in your backpack and still be able to carry it. Chances are you’ll have a locker you can store some things in, but you still need to be able to take everything to and from school each day. Put your binder, notebooks, textbooks, and pencil case in the main part of the bag - in that order. You should then put any extra materials into the front pockets.  For example, your calculator, tape, stapler,...

TL;DR in English: Get a list of what school materials you need. Plan out what to take in your bag. Use every part of your backpack.

Don’t hide the fact that your child has ADHD. Be honest with him, helping him to understand the disorder. Teach your child that ADHD is not an excuse for not being able to accomplish something. It can be easy to blame ADHD for anything from not completing homework to isolating oneself at home. But ADHD isn’t necessarily debilitating, as long as the individual recognizes that he is a capable person. Your nature as a parent is to protect your child, whether it’s from harm, teasing, bad decisions, and so on. But it’s important for your child to experience the consequences of his decisions. This will help him build independence and confidence. One of the big challenges people with ADHD face as adults is that they didn’t learn to socialize appropriately as a child.  Encourage your child to participate in peer interactions such as Sunday school or scouting activities, sports teams, extracurricular groups, and so on.  Find an organization which will allow you and your child to volunteer together, such as a local food pantry. Host parties and encourage attendance at parties that will help your child to live as normal a life as possible. If your child is invited to a birthday party, have a frank discussion with the hosting parents and explain that you need to attend to act as an anchor—and disciplinarian, as necessary. They will appreciate your candor and your child will benefit from the experience. Decrease the potential for anxiety by role playing it. In addition to providing familiarity and a comfort level for the upcoming event, role playing allows you to see how your child might react then guide him or her in appropriate responses.  This is especially helpful in prepping to meet new people, work out conflicts with friends, or going to a new school.

TL;DR in English: Be honest with your child. Don’t use ADHD as a crutch. Don’t shield your child too much. Encourage peer interactions for your child. Try role playing to prepare your child for unfamiliar events.

Deficiencies in zinc, vitamin C, calcium, and protein can sometimes cause white dots on nails. Upping your intake of these vitamins and minerals can help reduce spots.  Eat fruits like oranges, lemon, grapefruits, and apples for added vitamin C. Broccoli, cabbage, kale, turnips, poultry, fish, and nuts also provide the needed nutrients for nail health. You can also try taking a multivitamin, which you can buy at any grocery store or drugstore. This can help if you have food sensitivities that prevent you from gaining nutrients directly from food. You can actually damage your own nails through bad habits like picking and biting. If you're prone to fiddling with your nails, stop doing it. With less picking and biting, you may notice a reduction in white spots. If you have difficulty not picking or biting your nails, try wearing bandaids over your nails. Painting your nails may also help, as you may not want to ruin freshly painted nails. If your toenails tend to get white spots as well, change the shoes you're wearing. Tight, uncomfortable shoes can damage toenails, causing white spots. Switch the shoes you normally wear for roomier, more comfortable varieties and see if you notice a reduction in white spots. This is particularly important if you engage in activities like running, jogging, or other vigorous exercise. Comfortable tennis shoes are vital to your nail health. Never do things like dishes, dusting, or other household chores with bare hands. While such activities may not seem taxing, they can actually damage and dry out your nails. For optimal nail health, invest in a pair of rubber gloves for use when cleaning. If you paint your nails regularly, try not to paint them two days in a row. Nail polish can dry out and damage nails, leading to issues like spots. You should also pay attention to how your nails react to polish. If you tend to get spots after using a particular polish, you may have an allergy that's causing that reaction. Stop using that polish right away. Also, minimize manicures. Try to...

TL;DR in English: Change your diet. Avoid biting and picking at your nails. Adjust your footwear. Use gloves when cleaning. Do not paint your nails too often.

Although you'll want to look your best on your holiday, making the most of your space can make your travel smoother and prevent an overfilled bag.  Make versatile choices. Choose clothing items that are multi-purpose and can be plugged into a number of outfits. This helps keep your bag light and also helps simplify the packing process.   Shoes can fill up a bag quickly. Rather than lugging five pairs of shoes, choose a couple comfortable ones that match all of your clothes. You'll want to have everything you might need during a flight close by.  Keep your medicine handy. This is especially true if you have prescriptions that you might need. Also, plan ahead for any stomach or pain medication you may need while flying and have these handy. If you have a laptop, tablet computer or any other valuable electronic, keep these near for personal use and protection. If you are going to be somewhere for more than a few days, you'll need enough clothes and essentials to last. By checking your bag you'll still be able to travel light and make sure what you packed will be at your holiday destination when you arrive. Besides packing light, how you pack can make sure you get the most out of your space.  Roll your clothes instead of folding. This not only helps reduce wrinkles but you'll be able to fit more.   Put things in your shoes. Since shoes already take up a lot of room, by putting socks, underwear, or jewelry inside your shoe, you make the most of your space. Utilize unexpected spaces in your bag. Luggage often has pockets or zippers where you can stow away small items without taking up space from the main compartment. If you have a particular pair of shoes or jacket you really want to take with you, wear them onto the plane and save space in your bag.

TL;DR in English: Minimize extra clothes and shoes. Place essentials and valuables in your carry-on bag, if flying. Check large luggage to your destination, if flying. Maximize your baggage space. Wear layers on the plane.

You may already have one growing in your yard or you might have to purchase one. Choose an aloe plant with mature leaves growing near the base of the plant. If there are no leaves growing at the root of the plant, then it is not ready for harvesting. Aloe vera plants are inexpensive and don't require much care. They are a type of succulent, which need lots of light, but little water. Aloe vera plants can last for years if well cared for. Choose healthy green leaves near the base of the plant and cut at an angle. Make sure to cut large leaves so you can eventually make cubes that are big enough to handle. Small leaves will be difficult to handle and are probably not ready to harvest. Use a vegetable peeler to thinly slice away the peel and expose the gel. Make the cubes about 2 inches (5.1 cm) long, so that you can easily handle them once they're frozen. Once the cubes are completely hard, you can remove them to a bag for longer storage.

TL;DR in English: Select an aloe vera plant that you can harvest leaves from. Cut a few leaves from the plant using a sharp knife. Remove the outer layer from each leaf. Cut the leaf into large cubes. Set your pieces of aloe on a plate and freeze for several hours.

Part of being mature is making sound, reasoned decisions. Take a piece of paper, fold it down the middle, and list the pros of a decision on one side and the cons on the other. Think about how your decision will impact the people in your life. If the pros outweigh the cons, then it’s probably a good decision. Consider asking your parents for their advice. They’ll be able to give valuable input, plus they’ll be super impressed by your pro-con list! Do kind things for your family members without them asking. You might make lunch for your little sister, take the dog for a walk, or help your mom make dinner. Not only will you look mature, but your family members with thank you for your kindness. Ask your teacher, parents, or other adults how their day is going when you see them. This simple greeting shows you’ve got great manners, which can make you seem more mature. You could say, “Hi, Mrs. Andrews. How has your day been so far?” Mature people keep their promises. If you committed to helping your little brother with his homework after school, make sure you do it. To avoid broken promises and disappointed friends and family members, don’t make promises that you can’t keep.  Before you make a promise, think about all the things that could stop you from following through. If there are too many, you may not want to make the promise. Even small promises are important. If you told your dad you’d call him when you got to your friend’s house, do it.

TL;DR in English:


Use a cleaning product that is made with chemicals. Use a product that is not toxic. Use a product that is not harsh. Use a product that is not harmful.

Redwoods do not grow everywhere, so make sure to look only in the areas where they are found.  Giant Redwoods were first discovered in the Sierra Nevada mountain range and can be found in National Parks throughout California. Coast Redwoods are the tallest redwoods and are only found along the California coastline. Dawn Redwoods are primarily located in remote areas of China. Redwoods need near constant water and moisture to grow. A foggy summer is also good for Redwoods. It protects them from severe sunlight and keeps the tree moist. Redwoods live for a long time, so you can likely find places where the trees grow easily.  Ask your local park service about nearby Redwoods. They can point you to places where Redwoods grow. Find Redwoods online. Redwoods are protected trees in many areas since they are so old. You can easily find where they may be located on the Internet. Redwoods are famously tall trees; some grow as tall as a football field is long. Other trees, such as the Douglas fir or the Mountain Ash, can also grow very tall. The other distinguishing features of the Redwood should allow you tell to the difference between these other trees and Redwoods.

TL;DR in English: Find your location on a map to identify which redwoods are common to that area. Look near areas that get a lot of rain or have a moist environment. Look up nearby Redwoods. Look for the tallest trees.

Never dry your shoes in the dryer, even using low heat. Any amount of heat will cause them to fall apart by damaging the glue in your shoes. Instead, stuff them with newspaper or another stiff material and let them dry in a warm spot with good air circulation. Replace the inserts and laces when they're fully dry.

TL;DR in English: Let the shoes air dry.

In general, conifers should be pruned in late winter or early spring to encourage lush, healthy new branches and foliage in the spring. There is also less risk of fungal infections at this time of the year because the bark is more easily damaged while the trees are growing. The tools used for pruning conifers should always be sharp, as this is safer and more effective. You can determine which type of tool to use based on the size of the branches being pruned.  If the branches are less than ½-inch thick, use hand or bypass pruners that cut with a scissor action. If the branches are larger than ½-inch thick but less than 1 1⁄2 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter, use loppers or lopping shears. When the branches are more than 1 1⁄2 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter, use a pruning saw. Hedge clippers or shears can be used to shape conifers that are grown as a hedge or maintained in a particular shape. It’s recommended that gardeners disinfect any tools they are going to be using with either alcohol or regular bleach before they begin pruning their trees. This helps to prevent any lingering contaminants from being unintentionally spread throughout one’s yard. The main leader of a conifer tree should not usually be pruned. However, if the tree grows a second leader, you can prune off the weaker of the two. You can also trim the branches back to neaten the conifer up, if necessary.  Remove entire branches to thin out overly-thick growth, if necessary, and open the interior of the conifer up for better sun exposure and air circulation. Branches that are growing at angles will also need to be removed. Choose the branches carefully, though. Once an entire branch is removed from either a tree or shrub conifer, it will not grow back. Prune off entire branches at a 45° to 60° angle just outside of the branch collar.  Be very careful not to damage the branch collar, which is the raised area of bark at the base of the branch. Larger branches should be cut off 6 to 12 inches (15.2 to 30.5 cm) away from the branch collar. Cut about halfway...

TL;DR in English: Prune conifers in late winter or early spring. Choose sharp, correctly-sized tools. Disinfect the pruning tools before using. Identify which branches can and should be cut. Cut the branches at a 45° to 60° angle, in the correct location. Make two cuts into each branch. Familiarize yourself with the pruning requirements of specific species. Be sure to remove any diseased portions of the tree. Consider hiring a professional company to prune the trees for you.

Increase the salt to 2 teaspoons. Just after you have taken the popcorn out of the oven, sprinkle some sea salt over it. After you have popped the corn, stir in about 3 cups (375 grams) of chopped walnuts of pecans. Next, stir in your caramel sauce, and proceed with the rest of the recipe. Make the caramel corn according to the recipe, but reserve about ¼ to ½ cup (60 to 120 milliliters) of the sauce. After the popcorn has cooled, spread it out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and drizzle the rest of the caramel sauce over it. Toss in a handful of mini chocolate caramels, such as Rollo's, and another handful of candy-coated chocolates, such as M&Ms. Stir everything together, and serve.  M&Ms come in seasonal blends and colors, such as red and green for Christmas, and orange, yellow, and brown for Halloween/Thanksgiving. After you have finished the sauce, stir in some of your favorite ground baking spices along with the vanilla extract. You will need at least 3 teaspoons. Great options include pumpkin pie spice, apple pie spice, and cinnamon. Make your caramel corn first, then let it cool. Melt ½ cup (90 grams) of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave on medium for 2 minutes. Give it a stir, then heat it at 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until it is smooth. Drizzle it over the caramel corn. Repeat with ½ cup (90 grams) of white chocolate ships. Wait for the chocolate to harden, then serve.

TL;DR in English: Try salted caramel corn. Give it a crunch with chopped walnuts of pecans. Add in some color with candy. Add some spices to the caramel sauce. Make some "zebra" caramel corn.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is a cleaning product made with chemicals (melamine, formaldehyde and sodium bisulfate). Saturate the eraser with water to activate the chemicals, squeeze it onto the stain, then rub in gentle, circular motions. Rinse with more water. Although oxalic acid is found in nature, it is poisonous and harsh, so make sure to fully rinse the product off with water, and avoid these cleaners if you have a septic tank. Most oxalic acid cleaners, like “ZUD” require that you let the solution sit for 1 to 1 and ½ hours before rubbing and rinsing it away. Different products will have different amounts of hydrochloric acid in them. Look for a product with about 20% hydrochloric acid, like The Works. Spray and let sit according to the products directions.

Wash your feet with mild soap and warm water. Be thorough. Pat your feet dry with a clean towel.

If you notice any parts of the dahlias that are brown or shriveled, you can remove them with a pair of gardening shears to improve the appearance of your plants. Doing this regularly can also help to prevent diseases from spreading among your plants. Make sure to discard the diseased leaves, buds, and stems, such as by throwing them away or burning them. This is a sign of a fungus, and eventually the fungus will lead to a wooly gray growth on the dahlia’s petals. The fungus will continue to spread if you don't remove the damaged petals. This fungus favors cool, wet conditions. If you live in a climate where this weather is common, you may need to spray the plant with a fungicide, such as iprodione, moncozeb, or fenhexamid, which you should be able to find at a garden supply store. This is a sign of the root knot nematode, which lives in warm, sandy soil, and which can affect a variety of different plants. The knots will appear near the roots, and they will continue to worsen until the plant dies. If your soil is infested with root knot nematodes, you will need to treat it with a nematicide before you can grow healthy plants. The discoloration, combined with wilting leaves, is a sign of verticillium wilt, and it can stay in the soil for several years. This fungus will eventually kill your plant, and it can spread to other dahlias quickly if not treated.  If burning isn't allowed in your area, discard these plants in the landfill. You will also need to destroy the entire dahlia plant if you see mosaic mottling on the leaves, which is usually due to a virus spread by aphids. Smut causes yellowish spots to appear on the leaves, and eventually leads to the leaves becoming brown and dry. Watering from directly overhead can lead to water pooling, allowing the growth of smut. Instead, try to water close to the base of the plant, so the water will go directly to the roots.

TL;DR in English: Cut off any diseased parts of the dahlias. Remove flowers immediately if you see brown, water-soaked spots. Pull up the entire plant, including the roots, if you see knots forming. Burn dahlia plants and roots if you see discoloration of the veins. Avoid watering dahlias from overhead to prevent smut.

Doing so places your cursor in the cell. Type =AVERAGE( ) into the cell. You can press the left arrow key once to do this, or you can click in between the two parentheses in the text box at the top of the document. You can input a range of data cells by typing the name of the first cell in the list of data, typing a colon, and typing in the last cell name in the column. For example, if your list of numbers goes from cell A1 through cell A11, you would type in A1:A11 in between the parentheses.  Your completed formula should look something like this: =AVERAGE(A1:A11)  If you want to calculate the mean of a few numbers (not a whole range), you can type each number's cell name between the parentheses and separate the names with commas. For example, to find the mean of A1, A3, and A10, you would type in =AVERAGE(A1,A3,A10). Doing so will run your formula, causing the mean of your selected values to display in your currently selected cell.

TL;DR in English: Click an empty cell. Enter the "mean" formula. Place your cursor in between the parentheses. Add your data range. Press ↵ Enter.

Make sure you have consumed at least 8-16 ounces (about .25-.5 liters) of water an hour before you are about to walk. Drink more water if you plan to walk for a longer time. You don't want to become dehydrated while you are exercising, especially under a hot sun.  You may find it convenient to carry a re-usable water bottle with you as you walk, so you can stay hydrated throughout your trek. Some people develop stomach cramps if they drink water right before or while they exercise, so be careful of that. Give your body time to process the water before diving into exercise. Don't drink so much water that you'll need a bathroom while on a long walk. Alternatively, plan a route that has a public bathroom somewhere along the way. Make sure that no matter how far you get from your starting point, you are able to get back there. Walking on an oval track no more than a quarter mile (0.4 km) around should be perfect. If you feel comfortable in extending the walk past what you initially set, go for it! Walking is less physically taxing than most activities, so don't be afraid to exceed your goals. When you first start walking, decide how many minutes you will walk. Choose a length of time you know you can make. Do not worry about how short that period is. Just keep moving until you reach it. 2-5 minutes each day is a good start. That time will increase from week to week. Pay no attention to how far you walk. It matters more that you walk for a longer period of time. Faster and farther walks will come with experience.

TL;DR in English: Hydrate well before you begin walking. Pick an easy first walk. Set a time.

The most common and easiest are either under-gravel filters or power filters (recommended for first-time owners over under-gravel filters) that hang on the back of the tank.  Don't get caught up in technology.  Penguin and Whisper power filters provide both mechanical and biological filtration and are easy to clean and use. Only use Top Fin if you know your way around filters (get a Whisper if you get the excellent Top Fin starter kit).  If you choose an under-gravel filter, make sure that the air pump or powerhead you buy with it is strong enough for the size of the tank. In this case, bigger is better. Note that if you don't regularly vacuum the gravel it will eventually clog the under-gravel filter and turn it into a killing zone. Keep in mind that you can't use an under-gravel filter if you plan on having sand or other fine substrates. If you decide to go with a power filter, select one that will circulate enough water for the size of your tank.  (Ideally, it should filter your water 5 or more times per hour [gph], depending on your tank capacity.  For example, a 10-gallon tank would need a filter that circulates at least 50 gph.) The installation methods vary by the filter. Figure out which one works with the equipment you have:  For under-gravel filters put the filter plate in, and make sure the lift tubes are fitted. (If you have a submersible powerhead, you only need one; with a traditional air pump, two are best for most tanks under 40 gals, one at each end.) Do not turn it on until the tank is filled completely with water. Attach your pump airlines or powerhead into the appropriate lift tube(s) now, if you've got an under-gravel filter. Don't turn it on. If you've chosen an external power filter, set it up on the back of the tank in a position where the outflow will evenly distribute the water.  Some tank hoods come with pre-perforated cut-outs which make it easier to position your equipment. Do not turn it on until the tank is filled completely with water. Having about 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm)...

TL;DR in English: Decide which filtration system you would like to use. Install the filter. Fill the bottom with gravel. Set up chosen plants and decorations.

Remember to never point your gun at anything you don’t intend to shoot. Always be aware of the direction your gun is pointed. Depending on what type of gun you have, there should be a button along the side of the gun that lets you eject the magazine. Check that there isn’t a round loaded in the chamber. Your gun may have opened its “slide” to demonstrate that it’s empty. If not, pull back the rack to reveal the chamber. Visually check to make sure that the chamber is empty. The magazine slopes slightly upwards, and the back part (the part that faces down) should be positioned against your palm between your thumb and index finger. Insert the rounds by sliding the rear end of the ammunition (the end that’s not pointy) into the top of the magazine. Halfway through sliding the bullet in, you will feel some resistance. Push down to engage the spring-loaded plate, and then slide the bullet all the way in. Continue inserting bullets one by one until you can’t push the spring-loaded plate down. Ensure the top bullet is firmly engaged. Re-insert the magazine into the gun by pushing up until you hear a click.

TL;DR in English: Make sure you keep the barrel pointed in a safe direction. Eject the magazine from your handgun. Remove any additional rounds from the chamber. Hold the magazine in your non-dominant hand. Insert one bullet. Fill and re-insert the magazine.

Before soaking your feet in the foot bath, give them a quick wash to remove any excess dirt. Stand in your bathtub or shower, get your feet wet, soap them up, and rinse them. Be sure to use a mild soap that won’t irritate the skin of your feet. Be sure to wash between your toes, around your ankles, and at the tops of your feet in addition to your soles. This is particularly important if you’re often barefoot or in sandals. As you do so, pay attention to any particularly dry areas of your feet, as they might be less obvious once they’re in the bath. You’ll want to remember them for when you exfoliate your feet later.

Unless you have professional experience, you should never attempt to attach longterm extensions on your own. Extensions that require fusing, weaving, or heat/cold treatments can cause damage to your hair attached incorrectly. Always hire a stylist if you're going with these types of extensions. You should not sleep on your extensions. They tend to be more delicate than regular hair. Wrap your hair in a shower cap or a silk bonnet at night to avoid damaging your extensions. Like regular hair, extensions require washing and care. However, you want to be careful when washing extensions, especially if you have synthetic extensions. Consider using a dry shampoo. You should also be sure to avoid placing conditioner near the glue or bonds holding your extensions in place.

TL;DR in English: Have a stylist attach longterm hair extensions. Protect your extensions when you're sleeping. Wash your extensions gently.

Use distilled white vinegar and, if possible, distilled or filtered water. If you don’t have those on hand, tap water will work fine. Put them in an empty spray bottle, attach the nozzle and shake briefly to combine them.   Spray this mixture on kitchen and bathroom countertops, stovetops, backsplashes, toilet surfaces, tile, flooring and almost any smooth surface you wish. Wipe it up with a paper towel or sponge. Vinegar and water solutions can help eliminate dirt, soap scum, sticky spills and hard water. Mix one part lemon juice, one part white vinegar and two parts water in a spray bottle. Replace the nozzle and give it a shake. Spray the solution on smooth surfaces you want to disinfect, such as in the kitchen or bathroom. This mixture can typically eliminate 99% of bacteria from surfaces, making it ideal for sanitization. If the vinegar and water solution isn’t getting rid of a carpet stain, add a teaspoon of mild dish soap to the spray bottle. Give it a shake, then spray it directly onto the stain. Allow it to soak for about two minutes, then gently blot at the spill with a clean towel or sponge. To clean heavy soap scum and mineral deposits, skip the water and pour white distilled vinegar into a spray bottle, straight from the jug. Replace the nozzle. Spray the solution onto the affected area, scrub with a brush or sponge and rinse with water.  Use undiluted solutions for soap scum on shower walls and hard water deposits. For toilets, pour straight vinegar right into the bowl. Try disinfecting cutting boards with undiluted vinegar. Mix equal parts white vinegar and water, then pour them into a heat-safe bowl. Place the bowl in your microwave or conventional oven. Microwave or heat the solution long enough to bring it to a boil. Let it cool down a bit before you open the door. Odors will be eliminated and splattered food will be loosened and easy to wipe away. Measure out 1 cup (240 mL) of rubbing alcohol, 1 cup (240 mL) of water and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Pour them into a spray bottle. Spray...

TL;DR in English: Mix equal parts water and vinegar in a spray bottle. Add lemon juice to disinfect surfaces. Add dish soap for persistent stains on carpet. Tackle tough stains and grime with undiluted vinegar. Put vinegar and water in a bowl to clean microwaves and ovens. Mix vinegar, rubbing alcohol and water to create a glass cleaner.

The concept of using a quotation may seem like the opposite of “writing in your own words.” However, learning to use a quote the correct way is an essential writing skill. First, you must understand when to use a direct quotation. Use a direct quotation in order to:  Argue against another author’s specific idea Continue another author’s specific idea Prove your own point with the help of another author Add eloquence or power with a very meaningful quote A quote should never appear all by itself. Instead, you need to place the quote into the context of your essay. Write a sentence or two that leads up to the quotation, demonstrating the need for this particular voice. Be sure to provide the reader with any information they may need to understand this particular quote. The first time you bring a writer’s words into your own text, introduce the quote with a “signal phrase.” This should always include the name of the person (or persons) who wrote the words, as well as the full title of the work from which the quote is taken.  Here are two examples:  In his book End of Humanism, Richard Schechner states, “I prefer to work from primary sources: what I’ve done, what I’ve seen” (15). As Dixon and Foster explain in their book Experimental Cinema, “filmmakers assumed that the audience for their films was to be an intimate group of knowledgeable cineastes” (225). The proper way to format both your quote and the citation for your quote will depend on the style-guide you are following (MLA, APA, AP, or Chicago style). The specific rules of block-quoting, citation, and even the placement of the quotation marks will be determined by the style guide you use. (The citations provided above are done in MLA format).  In general, your quote should not exceed 3-4 lines of text. If it does (and it is truly necessary), you will need to use block quote formatting. At the end of the quote, include any relevant data that you have not already stated, such as the name of the author, the page number, and/or the date of publication. No...

TL;DR in English: Decide that a quote is needed. Contextualize the quotation. Introduce the quote. Check your format. Cite the author.

Maybe you think you have lovely hands, or you are good at drawing. Maybe you once bought coffee for the person behind you in line, just to be nice. Focusing on your positive qualities will help you combat your self-criticism.  Nothing is too small--make this list long, and reach as far back into your past as you want. What are some of your best qualities? Are you creative? Helpful? Kind? What have you achieved in your life so far? Have you graduated high school? Did you ace a difficult test? Did you teach yourself a new skill? Read this list often, even when you're not feeling down. An affirmation is something you say to support or encourage someone--in this case, yourself. It may feel silly, and you may not believe it at first, but start and end your day by looking in the mirror and saying your affirmation out loud.  Write your affirmation on a sticky note a post it on your mirror. Or write it on the back of a business card and keep it in your wallet to remind you throughout the day. Some affirmations include: "I love myself," "I like and accept myself as I am," "I believe in myself," "I am worthy of love." When you make a mistake, what goes through your mind? Do you call yourself stupid, or a loser, or say any number of negative things about yourself? The moment you start having those thoughts, you need to stop yourself. Say it out loud or under your breath or in your head: Stop. Even if that means you have to say "stop" every ten seconds.  Wear a rubber band around your wrist and snap it every time you put yourself down.  Acknowledge the thought, then imagine throwing it in a trash bin or physically getting rid of it in some way.  This won't stop negative thoughts forever, but it will stop you from listening or allowing them to take hold. Think about all the ways you put yourself down, then imagine doing those things to a friend or loved one. Or imagine someone doing or saying those things to your best friend. Would you let them get away with that? Start treating yourself with the same respect and courtesy...

TL;DR in English: Make a list of good things you've done and things you like about yourself. Start your day with affirmations. Halt negative talk. Treat yourself like a friend. Stop comparing yourself to other people. Forgive your mistakes.

Hold the apple in your non-dominant hand, keeping it stable against your palm and fingers. Select a sharp knife no longer than the width of the apple, typically between 2 and 4 inches (5–10 cm) long. Hold it in your dominant hand, wrapping your fingers around the handle and the dull, back edge of the knife. Keep your arm straight, with the knife extending outward as though it were part of your arm. This type of knife is often called a paring knife, because of their use in this task. The best method for handling a paring knife depends on your level of comfort and control. If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with knife use, or using a larger knife than instructed above, point the knife away from you to minimize the chance of cutting yourself if the knife slips. Once you have had some practice using a paring knife, and you know your grip is firm, you may find you have more control over the knife if you point your knife at a slight inward angle.

TL;DR in English: Hold the apple in one hand. Learn how to hold a short, sharp knife. Decide which way to point the knife.

To do so, open a YouTube video you wish to embed, click the URL to select it, right-click (or use two fingers to click) the selected URL, and then click Copy.  You must do this on a computer since mobile links won't invoke the video player box in Outlook. You cannot use a video from your computer to trigger the video player box on Outlook. To do so, enter https://www.outlook.com/ into your browser's URL box. If you're logged into Outlook on this computer, doing so will open your Outlook inbox. If you aren't logged in, enter your Outlook email address (or phone number) and password before continuing. It's in the upper-left side of the Outlook page, just above your inbox's contents. This will open a new email window on the right side of the page. You'll do so in the "To" field at the top of the email template. Your recipient must have a Gmail address. To do this, simply right-click (or use two fingers to click) the email template's body, then click Paste in the resulting drop-down menu. It's in the bottom-left corner of the email window. Doing so will send the email to your recipient. When they open it, they'll be able to click the video box at the bottom of the email to open the video player.

TL;DR in English:


Start by reading the assignment. Make an outline. Don't use over-preparation as a way of procrastinating.

To continue working the moss stitch, keep repeating the sequence for row 2. You can continue to work the moss stitch for as many rows as you want or need to for your project. When you are happy with the length of your project and finish the last stitch in your last row, simply chain 1 and tie off the final stitch. To do this pull, out the loop so that it is several inches wide. Then, cut it in the center. Tie the end of the yarn through the last stitch you made and cut the excess. If desired, you can also weave the tail into the edge of your work using a yarn needle. Thread the tail through the eye of the yarn needle and then weave the yarn in and out of the edge of your project. Tie the end of the tail through one of the stitches and cut the excess when the yarn gets too short to weave it through any more.

TL;DR in English: Repeat row 2 until your project is the desired length. Tie off the final stitch when you are done. Weave in the tail.

The HR Certification Institute offers a variety of self-directed certification programs to choose from, depending on where you are in your career. This program focuses on certifying you based on your knowledge, rather than putting you through courses. You'll need to pick one before moving ahead with certification. Most require some combination of HR experience and a degree. It's best if the degrees are in HR management, but it's not a requirement.  For instance, the Associate Professional in Human Resources is for people who are starting out. You can even take this certification right out of high school. You can purchase study materials along with the test.  The Professional in Human Resources requires a combination of experience and education. You need 4 years of experience if you have a high school diploma, 2 years of experience if you have a bachelor's degree, and 1 year of HR experience if you have a master's degree.  The Senior Professional in Human Resources requires even more experience. You need 7 years of HR experience if you have a high school diploma, 5 years if you have a bachelor's, and 4 years if you have a master's. This certification is basically just an exam you take to prove your knowledge. Before you take the exam, you'll need to study up for it. The HR Certification Institute offers both preparation materials for free and for purchase. If you wish, you can even bundle your test exam and preparation materials to save a little money.  For instance, you can get exam outlines for free at https://www.hrci.org/how-to-get-certified/preparation-overview/exam-content-outlines  However, you'll need to pay for practice exams. Schedule the exam at your convenience with Prometric, the company that proctors the exams. You'll need to schedule the exam at one of the many testing centers, which are located in most major cities. You can use Prometeric's site to search for a testing center. You can take the exam most weekdays, as long as you make an appointment before the center fills up. Arrive at the...

TL;DR in English: Pick a certification exam. Study for the exam to gain your certification. Schedule the exam. Take the exam.

Brainstorm a list of ideas that reflect what your artwork is about. It can be simple, such as “trees” or “girl,” but it can also be thematic or subconscious, such as “friendship” or “childhood.” Think about what the meaning of the artwork is, and how the title can convey that meaning. What drove you to create this piece of art? Reflect on your feelings about this artwork and what you’d like to share with your audience. How does the artwork make you feel? Identify the story you want to tell. With artwork, there are certain areas of the piece that the artist wants the audience to see first or to pay the most attention to. Think about the focal point of your artwork. What do you want people to focus on when they observe your artwork? Naming your artwork after the focal point can help people understand your artwork better. Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring” draws attention to the small jewel in the ear of the subject. Oftentimes, titles help audiences understand what they’re looking at. Titles can give tools to the audience to know how to interpret the piece. What do you want audiences to know about your artwork?  Do you want your title to direct the viewer towards a particular interpretation? For example, a work of art of a dog sitting on a beach can be interpreted in a number of ways. But if you title the picture, “Abandoned,” the viewer will assume that the dog has been abandoned on the beach. If you title the picture, “Best Friend,” people will react differently to the dog’s presence. Some artists prefer not to tell the meaning of their artwork, deliberately leaving the title ambiguous. No matter your reasoning for choosing a particular title, make it meaningful for you. You are, after all, the artist, and the artwork is made primarily for yourself. Some artists like to have titles that convey certain meanings so that they remember certain details about the process of making the artwork, what inspired the artwork, and so on. Frida Kahlo titled one painting, “I Belong to My Owner,” during a...

TL;DR in English: Make a list of themes central to the artwork. Identify your motivation behind the artwork. Pinpoint the artwork’s focal point. Consider what audiences need to know. Make the title meaningful for yourself.

Follow all manufacturers' directions on dosage.  Ibuprofen — This is an over-the-counter medication that can help to reduce inflammation, redness, and pain.  Ibuprofen for sunburns is generally taken by adults in 400mg doses every 6 hours for a short period of time. Follow instructions as indicated by your doctor or the manufacturer's label. Children under 6 months old should not take Ibuprofen. Follow the instructions on the bottle.   Naproxen — Your doctor may alternatively prescribe this medication if ibuprofen hasn't worked for you. The upside is that the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects will last longer once they begin. Naproxen can be found in over-the-counter medication such as Aleve.Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) and as such can cause some stomach discomfort. Acetic acid in vinegar alleviates pain, itching, and inflammation. Pour one cup of white cider vinegar into tepid bathwater and soak. Alternatively, dab a vinegar soaked cotton swab on the most painful parts of your sunburn. Dab, don't wipe. You don't want to add any sort of friction to the outside of the burn. Wet a washcloth or cotton gauze with this anti-inflammatory astringent and apply to the skin three or four times a day for 20 minutes to minimize pain and itching. There are very few side effects of witch hazel and it is completely safe to use with children.

TL;DR in English: Take an over-the-counter pain reliever as needed. Use vinegar to take away the pain. Apply some witch hazel to your sunburn.

Regular exercise can reduce blood pressure and also reduce blood sugar, “bad” fats, and cholesterol, as well as help you reduce excess weight. – All of these are factors that have been indirectly linked to the hardening of arteries. Regular exercise will also help you to strengthen your heart muscle and improve your overall health. You should aim for at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise each week or 1 hour and 15 minutes of intense exercise. The more active you are, the more you will benefit. Participate in aerobic exercise for at least ten minutes at a time spread throughout the week.  Plan to do exercises that will elevate your heart rate and oxygen use but that you can sustain at low or moderate intensity for an extended period. Some exercises that fit this recommendation are walking, running, swimming, cycling, jumping rope, or rowing.  Experts also recommend two to three 20-30 minute weight training sessions every week, in addition to cardio. Weight training builds lean muscle mass and is part of a healthy workout regimen. The Mayo Clinic suggests that you go at your own pace. If you are not currently exercising, start gradually by walking and performing other low-impact activities that you feel comfortable doing. Give yourself plenty of time to warm up and then gently increase the intensity. As your stamina increases, gradually lengthen the amount of time that you exercise to 30 to 60 minutes each session. Listen to your body, as well and stop if you feel pain, nausea, dizziness, or shortness of breath. Plan your week in order to fit in exercise. If finding time is hard, try to work exercise into your daily routine. Walk to work or to run errands, for example, take the stairs rather than the elevator, or watch your favorite TV shows while on a treadmill. Exercise partners can hold you accountable and create a more social atmosphere. By joining a group such as aerobics, a sports league, or another structured program you may get more enjoyment out of exercise.

TL;DR in English: Start an exercise program. Go slowly at first. Create a routine.

Look over any prompt or guidelines you have for writing the essay very carefully.  Sometimes fully understanding the assignment is half the battle. You will want to make sure you follow any instructions you are given regarding the length, format, and content of the essay. Usually, the keys to writing a great essay are there in the prompt. For example, if you are writing for a literature class and a prompt asks you to "illustrate your argument with specific evidence," you'll know that means the essay will need to quote directly from the text you are reading. Choose a style you prefer (bullet points, a diagram, brief sentences, etc.). The outline doesn't necessarily have to be very extensive, but at the very least you should jot down the main points you think your essay will make.  When making your outline, work closely with the texts or research you will use to write the essay. Look for key points and quotations that you think you might incorporate into the essay, and make a note of them. While it might seem like stopping to make an outline will eat up precious time, it will actually help you write more efficiently and clearly. Having a few points in mind, and a sense of direction, will keep the essay from rambling. This is especially the case if you are working on a paper that requires research or outside readings. It is tempting to put off the actual writing of the essay by doing more research, but the preparation has to come to an end so you can begin your work. You can always come back to your research while you are writing or revising if you think you need to incorporate more.

TL;DR in English:


File a petition to terminate support. Fill out a petition. File the petition. Attend a hearing. Take a possible appeal.

Relocate them outside or somewhere else where they can receive plenty of airflow. The alcohol will soon evaporate and take the water with it, leaving your insoles clean, disinfected and smelling fresh again. Don't wear the shoes again until they've had time to dry. Doing so will just introduce new germs and moisture.

TL;DR in English: Set the insoles aside to dry.

Tunics are ideal for balmy beaches, blistering cruise decks, and hot cities. These versatile garments can be worn to the beach, out sightseeing, or to a nice dinner.  Pick out your favorite swimsuit and throw a tropical or nautical themed tunic over it. Before you hit the lounge chairs, add a pair of flip-flops, sunglasses, and a bag full of towels, snacks, and sunscreen. While you’re out sightseeing, wear your favorite lightweight tunic over a pair of bermuda shorts or capris. Complete your look with a pair of comfortable shoes, a few pieces of simple jewelry, and a light jacket.  For an evening dinner, throw on a fancy tunic over a pair of slim cropped pants. Dress up the look with a pair of strappy sandals, a few pieces of simple, yet elegant, jewelry, and a clutch. The loose and drapey tunic is a very chic, but casual top. This comfy, yet stylish, top is perfect to wear when you grab coffee with a friend, brunch with your beau, or a beer at the pub. You can easily dress it up or down with your accessories and shoe choice.  Pick out a simple tunic that hits you mid-thigh. Put on a pair of skinny bottoms. You can wear jeans, cords, jeggings, or leggings. Pick out a pair of ballet flats or boots. Add accessories to your taste. While tunics are inherently causal, it is possible to dress them up for the workplace. The right shoes, accessories, and bottoms can transform a comfy tunic into a work appropriate top.  Select a tunic that is appropriate for you place of work—avoid low necklines and do not wear a tunic as a dress. Pair your tunic with slim cropped pants, skinny trousers, or a knee-length pencil skirt. Dress up your tunic with a pair of heels. Add a chunky necklace or scarf, a blazer or sweater, and tote bag.

TL;DR in English: Wear a tunic on a warm or tropical vacation. Wear a tunic to a casual outing. Wear a tunic to work.

Burning the hard drive guarantees that your data will be completely destroyed within minutes. It's best not to start a fire for the sole purpose of destroying your hard drive. To safely burn the drive, contact a reputable data destruction service that performs safe, on-site incineration services. Before doing this, insert the drive into a cloth bag so the pieces don't go flying everywhere. Get a hammer (either one lying around your house or at a hardware store) and smash your drive with it until the drive's broken into thousands of tiny pieces. Once done, divide the remnants up into multiple bags and dispose of each separately so they cannot be pieced back together. If you have a sharp knife or any metal pins, you could push them through both sides of the drive itself in order to put holes in it and render it unusable.

TL;DR in English: Incinerate the hard drive. Smash the drive with a hammer. Puncture the drive.

Every firearm has a different trigger pull - the amount of pressure required for it to fire.  Before you load the handgun, it's a good idea to "dry fire" the handgun, (point the gun down range and pull the trigger while the gun is unloaded).  This will help you learn what point in the trigger pull the gun will fire.  When you are ready to fire, pull the trigger slowly in one smooth, controlled motion.  A common reason for inaccurate shots is trying to anticipate the recoil (jerking the gun right as you think it's going to fire).  It may seem counter-intuitive, but for the most accurate shots, try to let the recoil "surprise you" rather than predicting when it will happen. Every sport has "follow-through" and target shooting is no exception. As you squeeze the trigger the gun will fire, but don't release the trigger suddenly or relax your posture, your stance or your arms. Be still. Release the trigger after you've taken a breath and prepare for the next shot. Follow-through action improves accuracy and reduces shot variation, just as follow-through does for a golfer or a tennis player. Take your time between rounds. There is no hurry.It is better to get a few accurate hits than to get many bad shots. You are at the range to get better, not turn money into noise. With the gun still in firing position, click the safety back in place (if your handgun has one) and remember to keep the gun pointed downrange while you unload it. For revolvers, check the cylinder to ensure there are no rounds in it or remove any that are. Release the magazine from a semi-automatic pistol and rack the slide to eject any shells that may be in the chamber.

TL;DR in English: Pull the trigger. Follow through. Practice firing several rounds. Unload your weapon and recheck it to ensure it is unloaded.

Know what to expect during pregnancy and during delivery. Reading about pregnancy and childbirth will help you support the mother and stay calm yourself.  Check local bookstores and online marketplaces for books about pregnancy and birthing. Consult online reviews to see which ones other expectant parents found helpful. Look for resources that cover subjects including pain management, presentation of the baby, timing, delivery methods, the involvement of health professionals, possible complications, and recovery expectations. Ask your partner’s health care professional for recommendations regarding materials to read during the pregnancy. Introduce yourself to the person who will be delivering the baby. Take this time to ask questions and get advice about being a birth partner.  Ask questions about subjects that your reading material didn’t cover. If, for example, a book mentions the ring of fire but does not define what that is, ask the doctor, “What is the ring of fire and how can I help my partner get through it comfortably?” Take the time to inquire about their specific care practices. Ask questions like, “What should we have ready to bring on the day of delivery?” and “What protocol do you have in place should something go different than expected?” Have them show you around their office as well as the hospital or birthing center where the birth will take place. Ask them to familiarize you with the space so that you can easily navigate it when necessary. Your partner will likely go to a class or individualized training to get ready to deliver. If your partner is comfortable with it, ask to attend with them.  Use the course as an opportunity to learn about what your partner will experience while giving birth. These courses typically cover strategies for calming your partner, coaching them during delivery, breathing effectively, pushing appropriately, and being supportive. Speak with the instructor about what your partner should expect from you during the delivery. Ask questions like, “What actions should I...

TL;DR in English: Read up on the subject. Talk to the doctor or midwife. Take a course. Discuss their preferences for delivery. Pick a coaching style. Register yourself as the birth partner. Be their voice.

Sometimes the court will terminate a parent’s support obligations. However, this only happens in certain specified situations:  You have no income. Most states will grant a non-custodial parent’s petition to temporarily suspend child support if the parent has lost his or her job or has become disabled and is in the process of applying for disability benefits. You are being incarcerated. Some states will allow temporary suspension for incarceration; however, other states will not. The child reaches the age of majority. In most states, a parent can stop paying when a child reaches the age of majority (18 in most states). However, in some states a parent is obligated to pay until the child reaches 21. The child dies. Even at the child’s death, you must petition the court to stop payments. You cannot just stop paying on your own. Your state probably has prepared “fill in the blank” forms for you to fill out. You must find the right form to modify your child support payments. In different states it will go by different names: “Petition/Motion to Modify Child Support,” “Motion Regarding Support,” or some other title.  You can always ask the court clerk what form you need to fill out. Although the court clerk cannot offer legal advice, he or she should be able to point you to the right form to fill out. If you have questions, see if the court has a self-help center or a family law facilitator. Because family law cases make up such a bulk of the court’s docket, many courts have staff who can answer legal questions and help you fill out forms. You will need to take the completed petition to the court clerk to file. Be prepared to pay a filing fee.  If you can’t afford the fee, then ask for a fee waiver form and fill it out. You will also need to serve notice on the other parent. Typically, notice can be served personally using the sheriff, a professional process server, or someone over 18 who is not involved in the case. Ask the court clerk for the form you need to fill out and how to pay any applicable fees...

TL;DR in English:


If you have cystic fibrosis, you may be able to get a sweat test.

Have your doctor perform the sweat test. Get your sweat sample tested for a high chloride concentration. Have the sweat test done twice to confirm the diagnosis.

Impostor syndrome occurs when you believe that your abilities are not up to par as those around you. You may believe you received a scholarship or a job offer because of your race, somehow making you less qualified than those around you. You may try to overachieve as a result of feeling “not good enough” or feel great dissatisfaction or guilt in your studies or profession. You may fear the day the “truth” comes out and people believe you are a fraud. It’s important to recognize that you have value for your own characteristics and achievements.  Be aware when feelings of being an impostor come up. Understand the difference between reality and feelings. When feelings come up, use the statement, “Even if I feel undeserving, it doesn’t mean I really am.” If you feel like an impostor, know that you are not alone. Even some high achieving individuals suffer from impostor syndrome. Remind yourself that you work hard and deserve the things you have. Remember that racist comments reflect a problem with the person who holds those beliefs, not you. Experiencing prejudice or discrimination does not automatically make you less valuable or mean there is anything wrong with you. It’s important to feel empowered by who you are and not “less than” other people.[  If you do experience prejudice or discrimination, take it seriously. Report the prejudice to someone who can help. For example, school bullies might exclude you from participating in a social group due to your race, or they might call you hurtful names. These are both actions that should be reported to a parent, teacher, counselor, or another figure of authority. You do not deserve this treatment, and you don't have to put up with it. If you are a minority in a group of people racially different than you, don’t feel pressure to represent your race. You may feel like people have negative associations with those in your racial group, and you want to prove them wrong. Remember that you can’t change people’s judgments, no matter how hard you try. There is great variation...

TL;DR in English: Deal with impostor syndrome. Remember that racist comments are not about you. Release the stress of being a cultural “representative”. Be informed. Use humor. Find similarities with those around you.

Where is the firing coming from? To find out, use the minimap––it tells you where your opponents are even without the UAV. If you see a chunk of your teammates on the left side of the minimap, chances are the enemy is on the other side. Use this knowledge to your advantage and situate yourself to be in prime position to get the first shot. Much like driving you've got to pay attention to the entirety of your peripheral vision. Watch for dark corners and turns that would allow an enemy to get the jump on you. People don't look up. You can just shoot down on them. You should put a claymore on the stairs (or however you got up) so if they try to get revenge, they blow up.

TL;DR in English: Know what is going on around you. Scan the field. Get above the enemy.

Take the beef out of the bag or container. Shake it lightly to remove extra marinade. Don’t leave garlic gloves on the surface, or they may burn on the surface. Let it sit out until it comes to room temperature. This should take at least 20 minutes or up to one hour. The cooking time will vary depending upon the size of the beef.

TL;DR in English: Remove the dish or plastic bag from the refrigerator. Place the beef on a plate. Cook the beef on a grill, in a pan or in the oven.

Private companies collect divorce information and sell it to the public. The easiest way to find these websites is to search for “divorce records” and see what websites come up. Many sites claim to be “free,” but there’s usually a fee attached somewhere. Private companies make money by selling memberships or one-time access. For example, enter the first and last name, as well as the state and city/county where they live. Then click on “Search Now.” If you search for John Smith in Ohio, you can expect a lot of hits. Scan the results to see if you can find the person you're looking for. Along with their name, the records should show their age and where they’ve lived, so you can use this information to find the right person. Click on their name. Most websites accept all major credit cards. Some also accept PayPal. Prices vary, so visit multiple websites to find the best deal.

TL;DR in English: Find online databases. Enter the information of the person you're searching for. Review the names. Choose your method of payment.

Purchase the tin at a tobacco shop or online. There are different flavors, such as mint or citrus, that you can choose from.  Strength labels are Normal, Stark, & Extra Stark. Normal contains the least amount of nicotine. If you are trying to quit nicotine, then go with a weaker variety. Snus also comes in three different pouch sizes: Mini, Normal/Large (most common) and Maxi. Bigger pouches contain a bigger portion of snus, hence more nicotine, so if you are trying to quit nicotine then choose smaller pouch sizes. You can also choose a size that is more comfortable in your mouth. A tin of snus pouches contains several small tea bag-like pouches of the tobacco product. Take the lid off the tin and grab 1 of the pouches between your thumb and index finger. Since it is already packed into little pouches, you don't have to shake the tin to "pack" the snus as you would with loose varieties. If you want, you can roll the pouch between your fingers to loosen the tobacco up before you put it in your mouth. Pinch your upper lip between the thumb and index fingers of your hand that isn’t holding the snus pouch. Insert the pouch in between your upper lip and your gum wherever it is most comfortable, then release your upper lip.  You can also simply put the snus pouch on your tongue and use your tongue to slide the pouch up between your upper lip and gums. You may find it is most comfortable to place the pouch off to the side between your upper lip and gums, rather than in the middle, but do whatever is most comfortable for you. It’s possible to put snus in your lower lip, but this will make you salivate more and you may need to spit. Snus is designed to be spit-free, so it’s recommended to put it in your upper lip. You will start to feel that familiar nicotine buzz shortly after putting the pouch in. The effects of snus last for different lengths of time depending on the strength and your tolerance, but most users keep a pouch in for 20 minutes to 1 hour.  Unlike other types of oral tobacco products, it’s not necessary...

TL;DR in English: Buy a tin of Swedish snus pouches. Take a pouch out of the snus tin with your fingers. Insert the pouch between your upper lip and gums. Keep the snus pouch in as long as you enjoy the flavor and buzz. Store your snus in the refrigerator to make it last longer.

Your doctor will attach a device with a stimulating chemical and an electrode to your forearm or your thigh. They will then collect sweat on a piece of filter paper or gauze for testing.  Newborn babies cannot be tested for cystic fibrosis using a sweat test until they are at least 3-4 weeks old. Do not apply any lotions or creams for 24 hours before the sweat test. If you have a chloride concentration of 60 mmol/L, you likely have cystic fibrosis. Your sweat test may also be marked “abnormal” if your doctor suspects you have cystic fibrosis. If your sweat sample comes back abnormal, your doctor will perform it again. If your second test results come back abnormal, they will confirm you have cystic fibrosis. If your second test does not come back abnormal, they may perform a blood test or a sweat test to confirm your diagnosis.

TL;DR in English:


Call the company. If they don’t return your purchase price within one month, contact the customer service number with your confirmation code to insist on a refund.

Find your receipt from the order. Call the company’s customer service hotline. Look for the customer service number using an online tool, like GetHuman. Dial the number from a touch-tone phone. Follow the prompts to reach a customer service representative. Listen for instructions about whether the order can be cancelled. Ask for a confirmation code if your cancellation is accepted. Watch your credit card or bank account to see signs of the funds being returned.

If you're being charged by a lion, you'll be extremely frightened.  Do everything you can not to panic. Staying calm and thinking straight can help save your life. Knowing what to expect can help you stay calm. For example, know that the lion is going to growl while they charge. This can shake the ground beneath you but know this is normal for a lion attack. Stand your ground. You need to take charge of the situation and show the lion that you're a threat. Turn so that you're side-on-side with the lion while clapping your hands, shouting, and waving your arms. This will make you appear bigger and more threatening to the lion. Lion behaviors differ from region to region. The biggest tourist attractions have lions that are more habituated to vehicles and therefore less afraid of humans. However, many lions with early encounters of humans will perform mock charges. Making yourself appear threatening will make them turn away. Do not turn your back. Keep flailing your arms and showing, but slowly step away sideways. If you run, the lion may sense your fear and chase after you. Remain threatening to the lion while you retreat. Avoid retreating to a thicket (such as a forest). Instead, retreat to an open area. The lion may charge you again while you're trying to retreat. If this happens, shout as loudly as possible and raise your hands again. Truly yell from the depths of your stomach. This time, when it turns away, stop the aggression. Turn sideways and walk away. This can help avoid a fight.

TL;DR in English: Do not panic. Do not run. Retreat slowly. Be prepared again.

You've probably heard the saying, "quality not quantity." That adage applies when you're trying to reduce household waste. Buying higher quality items, including dishes, pans, clothing, toys, and most everything else, will reduce your waste overall because the items will last longer. You won't need to replace them as often. For instance, when you can, spring for the higher quality pot. It's more expensive, but it will last many more years. When purchasing items like food, choose bigger packages over smaller to help reduce trash from packaging. For instance, a large box of cereal creates less waste than several smaller boxes of cereal that add up to the same amount.  If you prefer individual servings, portion the food out into reusable containers when you get home. For instance, if you like small portions of pretzels, buy a big bag and then use small sealed containers to create individual portions. Also, be sure to look for packaging that can be recycled, so you aren't contributing to the landfill. Today's society has bought into excessive packaging. Some items have two or three layers of packaging. If you see an item that seems to have an excessive amount of packaging, try looking for a different brand to see if it uses less. Bulk bins are becoming more popular, particularly in health food stores. With these bins, you simply scoop out the food (such as rice, flour, sugar, etc.) into a bag, which usually produces less waste than standard packaging. You can also bring reusable containers from home to make the purchase even greener. Make sure to get a cashier to write the weight of the container on it so that you don't pay for the container.

TL;DR in English: Buy quality items that last. Buy bigger packages of food. Look for products with less packaging. Buy from the bulk bins.

Vanilla beans are produced in many different countries, and there are several dozen varieties to choose from. They each have a different flavor profile.  Bourbon vanilla beans are fruity, with hints of figs and persimmon.  Madagascar vanilla beans are full-bodied, with a hint of tobacco. They have a higher vanilla content than other beans, making them a flavorful choice.  Mexican vanilla beans are smooth and creamy. Tahitian vanilla beans have a floral scent. Indian vanilla beans are dark and oily with hints of cinnamon and other spices. Buy whole vanilla beans from gourmet food stores. You can also buy them online if you want a bigger selection to choose from.  The vanilla beans you buy should be dark and moist with oils. They should feel dense when you pinch them with your fingers, and they should emit a strong vanilla smell. Don't use vanilla beans that are light in color, dry or crumbly. If you're unsure whether one is still usable, wrap it around your finger. If it bends easily and stays together, it's fine to use. If it falls apart, don't use it to make extract.

TL;DR in English: Research varieties of vanilla beans. Buy vanilla beans.

If you made the order by phone, you may have written down a confirmation code in place of the receipt. Find it on the receipt or on the “Contact Us” section of their website. They list all major retailers and provide numbers for them. You can also use their calling service to call the company. Use the numbers or the voice menus to go to the order cancellation section, or simply the order section of the menu. Tell them your confirmation code and any other pertinent information. If the prompts don’t lead you to an order information section, dial zero to be put on the line with an operator or customer service representative more quickly. If the order has already shipped, the customer service rep will tell you to refuse the package at the door or to return it using their returns process. Write it somewhere where you will remember to look later. If they don’t return your purchase price within one month, contact the customer service number with your confirmation code to insist on a refund.

Find a rectangular cardboard box that you or a child can sit inside. Tape the bottom of the cardboard box closed. Close the top of the box but leave out 1 of the short flaps. Measure and mark the long sides of the box into thirds. Use a box cutter to cut the sides of the box’s top to create a flap. Fold the top flap in half and tape it together. Do the same with the back flap. Paint the outside of the box if you want. Cut or draw doors on the box’s sides. Add windshields and windows to your car. Put wheels on your car with hook-and-loop fasteners or glue. Complete your car by adding lights, a license plate, and a grill.

While the above conversions took quite a few steps, it is important to recognize that the act of converting from one coordinate system to another is where the "difficult" part is. When dealing with complex numbers purely in polar, the operations of multiplication, division, and even exponentiation (cf. De Moivres' formula) are very easy to do. 3+338+3−338i{\displaystyle {\frac {3+3{\sqrt {3}}}{8}}+{\frac {3-3{\sqrt {3}}}{8}}i}

TL;DR in English: Write out the complex number in standard form.

According to the FDCPA, this statement must include the following to be considered valid.  The amount of the money owed. The name of the original creditor. A statement that if you don't dispute the debt within thirty days, the debt is assumed valid. A statement that if you dispute the debt within thirty days, the agency will obtain proof of the debt and send it to you. A statement that upon request, the agency will provide the name and address of the original creditor, if it differs from the current creditor. It is very important to make sure you actually owe the money the collector says you do. Though it is illegal, creditors could inflate the amount of money you owe to make a greater profit. You legally have thirty days to dispute the charge and ask for validation of the debt. Once you do so, the collector must cease pursuing you for the money until he produces proof of the original debt. The agency must provide one of the following.  Proof that they either own or have been assigned the debt from the original creditor. A copy of a statement from the original creditor. When the agency provides proof that you owe the money, you still have options. Each state has different laws on how long a debt is considered effective. These are mostly, but not universally, less than ten years. When a collection agency comes after you for outdated debt, it is known as zombie debt (Deal with Zombie Debt).  Check the date of the proof the agency provided. Then match it against the statute of limitations for debt in your state. If the date of the original debt is older than the statute of limitations, you can no longer be sued for the debt. They can call you, they can contact you, but they can't sue you or threaten you. If the agency has not provided adequate proof of your debt, their claim is not legitimate. Send a certified letter informing them that their actions are in violation of the FDCPA and you will pursue legal action if they keep trying to collect from you.

TL;DR in English: Examine the bill the agency sends you. Request validation of your debt. Check the statute of limitations on your debt. Threaten to sue if your debt is not legitimate.

Before a tax preparer can begin work, they must also meet state and federal requirements. First, apply for a PTIN by submitting personal information (including your social security number) and a previous year's tax return. This can be done online at http://www.irs.gov. Getting a PTIN will register you as an "unenrolled preparer," granting you the minimum level of clearance to prepare federal taxes. Note that this application will require to disclose and explain any felony convictions or problems with your tax obligations. CPAs and tax attorneys must obtain a license in the state they plan to work in. The education and experience requirements to sit for the licensing exam vary by state, so check with your state's board of accountancy for more information. When you've met the requirements, prepare and register for the exam. You must pass the exam in order to receive your license.

TL;DR in English: Obtain a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). Become licensed, if necessary.

No overview could offer all the specifics necessary to rebuild every kind of engine, making it essential that you refer to the manufacturer's instructions for every make and model. Get a hold of one, read it, and keep it on hand. Even if you've got an older model, shop manuals are on eBay all the time for relatively cheap, and are often available at the public library for free. If you're going to invest in the project, it's absolutely essential that you get the shop manual so that you can learn the proper specs and particularities of the engine you're dealing with. Inspect fluid sweeping out of the many plugs, sending unit connections, and joints between components. Inspect the Harmonic balancer for signs that the isolation rubber is cracking, which may suggest it needs to be replaced. Check for any signs of overheating, cracking and scorching on the block. Also check for any excessive gasket sealer left behind from previous work. Also, check the ID and casting numbers to ensure that the engine you think you are working on is actually the engine you are working on. Engine swaps are not uncommon and each engine has different specifications. Inspect the distributor for signs of looseness by putting some pressure on it. Inspect the alternator belt for signs of wear by spinning the pulley and listening for any unusual noise. Inspect the clutch assembly for wear. The exhaust manifold bolts or studs may be very corroded, take care to break them loose without damaging them. Using special lubricants for this may help, and extremely stubborn bolts may require heat to loosen. Start by removing the oil pan and the valve covers, then the cylinder heads. Be sure to protect the lifter rods when lifting the cylinder head(s), if they are bent or damaged, they will need to be replaced. You may want to use a micrometer to determine the bore diameter, very worn cylinders may be too far gone to allow a successful rebuild. If you know the engine hasn't been rebuilt previously, you can get a good idea of the wear to the cylinder...

TL;DR in English: Get the shop manual for your vehicle. Perform a visual inspection of engine. Inspect the external components on the engine. Remove the exhaust manifold if it was not removed earlier to facilitate removing the engine the engine compartment. Begin disassembling the rest of the engine. Check the cylinder bores. Remove the ridge on the cylinders near the top of the bore with a cylinder reamer (rimmer). Remove piston and rod assemblies. Remove and inspect the crankshaft. Perform a visual inspection of the crankshaft. Finish disassembly. Measure the specs.

Before you select a box to use, make sure the person you’re making the car for can fit inside it. If you’re making a car for a toddler or a small child, most large moving boxes will be sufficient. You can find large cardboard boxes for purchase at most home improvement stores. It’s best to use clear packing tape, but masking tape will also work. Use enough tape to cross the box’s bottom lengthwise 2 or 3 times. Fold 1 of the short flaps inside the box and leave the other 1 outside the box. Then, tape the 2 long flaps together to close the top of the box. The short flap that you leave outside of the box will be back of the car. Use a yardstick to measure the length of your box and divide that length into thirds. Then, use a pencil to draw 3 equally-sized sections on each of the box’s 2 long sides. The middle section will be where you’ll put the car’s doors. Starting from the back of your box, cut 1 side of the box’s top to separate it from the box’s side. Stop cutting when you reach the front third of the box. Then, make the same cut on the other side of the box.  By the end of this step, the back two-thirds the top should be separated from the sides of the box. Have an adult help you make the cuts with a box cutter. Measure the height of the flap and mark its center with a horizontal line so you can get an even fold. Fold the top flap inward so that the inside crease is facing the inside of the box. Tape the 2 halves of the top flap together horizontally with packing tape. Fold the back flap in half just like you did with the top half. Secure the 2 halves together by wrapping packing tape around them horizontally. You can either paint your car red, blue, black, or another color, or leave the exterior as is. Use acrylic paints and a paint brush or spray paint. Cover the box’s entire surface in an even coat of paint. Allow the coat of paint to dry, and add additional paint for a deeper color.  Place the cardboard box on spread-out newspapers or a large sheet of cardboard so you don’t accidentally get paint on...

Meteorites are solid pieces of rock that are usually densely packed with metal. If the rock you’ve found looks like a meteorite, compare it to other rocks to ensure it’s relatively heavy, then calculate its density to determine if it’s a meteorite. You can calculate the density of the potential meteorite by dividing its weight by its volume. If a rock has a calculated density higher than 3 units, it is much more likely to be a meteorite. Nearly all meteorites are at least somewhat magnetic, even if only weakly. This is due to the high concentration in most meteorites of iron and nickel, which are magnetic. If a magnet is not attracted to your rock, it’s almost certainly not a meteorite.  Because many terrestrial rocks are also magnetic, the magnet test will not definitively prove your rock is a meteorite. However, failing to pass the magnet test is a very strong indication that your rock is probably not a meteorite. An iron meteorite will be much more magnetic than a stone meteorite and many will be strong enough to interfere with a compass held close to it. A streak test is a good way to test your rock to rule out terrestrial materials. Scrape your rock against the unglazed side of a ceramic tile; if it leaves any streak other than a weak grayish one, it is not a meteorite.  For an unglazed ceramic tile, you can use the unfinished bottom of a bathroom or kitchen tile, the unglazed bottom of a ceramic coffee mug, or the inside of a toilet tank cover.  Hematite and magnetite rocks are commonly mistaken for meteorites. Hematite rocks leave a red streak, while magnetite rocks leave a dark gray streak, indicating that they are not meteorites.  Keep in mind that many terrestrial rocks also do not leave streaks; thus, while the streak test can rule out hematite and magnetite, it will not definitively prove your rock is a meteorite on its own. Most meteorites contain metal that is visibly shiny under the surface of the fusion crust. Use a diamond file to file a corner of the rock and check the interior for telltale...

TL;DR in English: Calculate the rock’s density if it feels heavier than normal. Use a magnet to see whether the rock is magnetic. Scratch the rock against unglazed ceramic to see if it leaves a streak. File the surface of the rock and look for shiny metal flakes. Inspect the inside of the rock for small balls of stony material.

iPhone 4S and more recent are equipped with Bluetooth technology; if you have an iPhone 4 (or older), it may not work. Likewise, attempting to use an old model of Bluetooth speaker with a newer iPhone (such as 6S or 7) may cause synchronization issues. If your iPhone isn't updated to the latest version of iOS, you may run into Bluetooth issues on newer Bluetooth speakers. You may have turned on the speaker too late while your iPhone searched for available devices, or there might just be a bug in how they are working. Try restarting the speaker to see if this helps. Doing so may reset your phone's Bluetooth settings and make it possible to connect again. To restart your phone:  Press and hold the Power button on the side (or top) of your iPhone until slide to power down appears. Slide the power icon at the top of the screen right. Wait for a minute, then press and hold the power button until the Apple icon displays. If all else fails, bringing your iPhone and Bluetooth speaker into the store from which you purchased the speaker to have staff members look at it might fix your problem. If you bought your speaker online, you can usually still bring it into a retail store like Best Buy to have them take a look at it.

TL;DR in English: Make sure your iPhone isn't too old. Make sure your iPhone is updated. Restart the Bluetooth speaker. Restart your iPhone. Take the speaker back to the store for testing.

Traveling with your pet via automobile will be much easier if you don’t do it alone. If possible, take along a friend or family member on your holiday road trip. Your human companion will be able to help you with any issues that might arise, and can keep your pet company in the back seat if needed. If you are taking your pet on a holiday road trip, it’s important that they do not roam while you are driving. Allowing your pet to have free range of the vehicle can lead to accidents. For example, if your airbag deploys and your pet is in the front seat, it can cause injury. Instead, make sure you pet is in a kennel or carrier for the duration of the journey. While traveling with your pet in an automobile, you must make sure they keep their head in the car at all times. Allowing your pet to hang their head out of the window can be dangerous. Pets can get debris in their eyes or have cold air forced down their lungs. When embarking on a holiday road trip with your pet, make sure you plan for plenty of breaks. Your pet will need to get outside, stretch its legs, and take a potty break. This is especially true for overly anxious pets, or those with physical problems that might limit bladder control. You should never, under any circumstances, leave your pet alone in a vehicle. Temperatures within a vehicle can rise or fall quickly, putting your pet at risk of injury or death. When traveling with your pet, make sure you always take them out of the vehicle when you leave it. Unless the back of your pickup truck is covered and heated, you should never transport your pet in the bed of your truck. There are multiple dangers associated with doing so, including damage to your pet’s eyes, ears, and nose. Pets can also be easily ejected from the back of a truck, and riding in the bed of a pickup truck increases the risk your pet will jump ship, which can result in extreme injury or death.

TL;DR in English: Bring along a human companion. Don’t let your pet roam in the vehicle. Keep your pet’s head inside the vehicle. Take lots of rest stops. Don’t leave your pet alone in the automobile. Never transport a pet in the back of a pickup truck.

Your face is generally the first thing people notice. A fading facial tan will be immediately noticeable, so use self-tanner to fix up any fading. Purchase a self-tanner designed for your face and apply it regularly to keep your tan noticeable. Go for gradual tanners, as these tend to look more natural. A little bronzer on your face can also help your tan last longer. Apply the bronzer on areas where the sun naturally hits your face, such as the forehead, temples, nose, and cheekbones. This will highlight your natural tan, preventing the product from looking fake. Apply enough bronzer to give your skin a natural glow. Too much bronzer can be overwhelming and make your tan look fake. You want to recreate your natural tan rather than replace it altogether. Unless you have access to the sun all the time, your tan will eventually start to fade. As your tan fades, patch it up with spray-on tan. If your tan starts to lighten or darken, spray some fake tan on patchy areas to even things out. Over-the-counter pills that are designed to protect skin, such as Phytobronz Skin Protect, may help you maintain a tan. Such pills help replenish oils in your skin that are lost during the tanning process. If you're concerned about maintaining your tan, try taking some medication. However, some over-the-counter pills are not FDA regulated. Always check with your doctor before taking any new medications.

TL;DR in English: Use self-tanner on your face. Wear bronzer. Patch up your tan with spray-on tan. Use pills.

Each time you use your electronic toothbrush, rinse the head under running water. Get out any traces of toothpaste from your brush after each use. This will keep it clean on a daily basis. Some people advocate storing your toothbrush in mouthwash or another disinfectant solution. This is unnecessary and it can also lead to contamination if multiple people share the same solution. Store your toothbrush in a toothbrush stand or an empty glass instead. The heads of electric toothbrushes are replaceable. Every three to four months, replace your toothbrush's head. Even with regular cleaning, a toothbrush's head will need to be replaced periodically. When a toothbrush's bristles begin to look worn and splayed, it's time to replace the toothbrush's head. Avoid storing your toothbrush in closed containers. This does not actually protect your toothbrush from bacteria. In fact, the increased humidity can increase your toothbrush's exposure to bacteria. Instead, store your toothbrush in an open container in your bathroom.

TL;DR in English: Rinse your toothbrush head after each use. Do not soak toothbrushes in disinfectant solutions. Replace toothbrush heads regularly. Store your toothbrush in open containers.

So much of today's society is based on grab-and-go convenience. Unfortunately, these items are all ultimately trash. Throughout your day, make an effort to only use items you can use again.  Switch to cloth paper towels and diapers. Use your own silverware, plates, and cups -- never go plastic to avoid washing. Don't buy bottled water. Carry around your own water bottle to stay hydrated. Bring eco-friendly bags to the grocery store. What do you do with those paper or plastic bags when you go shopping? You either end up throwing them out or stockpiling until you have an entire cupboard full of bags you'll probably never use. Cars are a huge culprit when it comes to pollution and, put more formidably, destroying the ozone. Who wants to get stuck in traffic anyway?  Less fuel consumption affects oil digging across the world -- a finite resource (that is just getting more and more expensive thanks to demand). Another important consideration in using less fuel is in the amount of toxic gases being released into the air as the fuel is burned to make the engine run.And it saves you money, too.  A bicycle is even better. You know why? You spend zero money on gas, you emit zero toxins into the environment, and you burn way more than zero calories while riding. Win. Win. Win. Alright, hybrids are expensive. And bicycles don't go fast enough. What's the next best alternative? Car pooling. And the more people who do it, the better for the environment (and traffic). As if being greener weren't enough, you'll now get to be one of those people that uses the carpool lane honestly. Because let's be honest: Everyone hates the guy driving down it alone. Nowadays, everything is available online. Whether it's your bills, junk, or the newspaper, get out of it. Instead of resenting the pile you're accumulating, you'll get excited when special mail does come.  For all your statements, go green. Get an online account for your bank, credit cards, and subscriptions. Emails don't hurt the environment. Start reading online. Magazines and...
