If you are planning a dinner party, you should consider pairing your food and wine. This means selecting certain dishes that will compliment the wine. There are several types of food that pair wonderfully with Merlot, notably beef.  Start researching food and wine pairings. Read some cooking magazines and scroll through websites that offer a variety of recipes. Search for recipes that highlight beef. You can use it as an appetizer or main dish. Cocktail meatballs would be a good choice for a starter. If you want to impress your guests, there are several flavorful beef dishes you could choose as an entree. Consider serving a grilled steak with a blue cheese butter. If you don't want to serve beef, chicken would make a lovely main dish. Try a classic roast chicken. Take into account what type of event you are planning. For example, maybe you are just inviting guests for hors d'oeuvres. If so, consider a selection of cheeses. A wine and cheese party can be a simple and elegant event.  Cheese and wine naturally complement each other. Consider offering a hard, aged Cheddar with your Merlot. You should include one soft cheese in your selection. Camembert goes nicely with Merlot.  You can add a variety of other cheeses to pair with your wine. Try a Gruyere or Pecorino Toscano. There are many benefits that come from thoughtfully pairing food and wine. If done properly, you will be able to draw out unnoticed flavors in both your dinner and your Merlot. You want to balance flavors and textures so that they complement one another.  Typically, wines pair well with foods from the same region. For example, if you are serving a French Merlot, consider cooking some French dishes. Pay attention to each of your courses, including the starter. You could begin with a traditional Caesar salad. The flavors in the dressing will complement the Merlot. Certain foods are difficult to successfully pair with wines. Avoid tomatoes, vinaigrettes, and artichokes.

TL;DR in English: Serve beef with Merlot. Choose complimentary cheeses. Plan a balanced menu.

Having a knowledge of scripture will help you understand what God intends for you, and will help guide you. Read slowly, internalize the text, and see how it relates to your daily life. Many times, you'll have to read passages much more than once for the teachings to fully sink in.  In 2 Timothy 3:16-17 it says, "In All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."  The Christian Bible is made up of The Old and New Testament. There are different translations of the Bible that exist, including the King James Bible, the Common English Bible, the English Standard Version, the Holman Christian Standard Bible, among many others.  Talk to a member of your church to see which book is preferred for your congregation. Reading scripture with others may give you different perspectives on the text and help you better understand it. The purpose of mass is to unify Christians in worshiping and praising God's grace. Usually, during mass the pastor, priest, or reverend will perform a sermon which will have stories from the Bible and occurrences from real life. Not only does attending mass make your relationship with the Lord stronger, but it also gives you the opportunity to interact with other Christians.  Most Christian churches celebrate the Eucharist which is also known as The Holy Communion or The Lord's Supper, which is a reenactment of Jesus's last meal.  Going to mass may clarify questions you have from reading scripture at home. If you have questions about scripture, mass, or your faith, a priest, pastor, or minister may be able to explain things to you. If you attend a Protestant or Baptist church, try visiting your priest after mass, or during the weekdays. Write down any questions that you have such as, questions that arise when reading scripture, questions about a sermon, or a dilemma you're facing in your life.  You can ask your priest by saying something like "Do you have some...

TL;DR in English: Read scripture regularly. Go to mass on a weekly basis. Talk to your priest, pastor, or reverend. Join a Bible or Christian group.

Search eBay for items like those you want to sell, and read the listings, especially completed listings which have sold for a good price, or current listings that have attracted a lot of bids.  Take note of what sort of information or photos you find most helpful to you as a potential buyer – the same type of information will be helpful to your potential buyers. Consider what makes you think a seller is trustworthy and how you will manage to convey that same sense of trustworthiness through your sales and profile.  The title is the front line in getting your auction noticed. A good title will not only give potential buyers enough information to know whether the listing is worth their time to look at, it will also attract people searching for your items.  Include all relevant words and spell them correctly. Insufficient information in a title will attract a far smaller number of potential buyers and/or bidders; consequently such an item will either not sell, or go for a much lower price than it would otherwise. Keep the words relevant. Exclude fluff such as "cool" or "excellent". You have very little space, so use it for what people are searching for (nobody is going to be searching eBay for items titled "L@@K" or "AWESOME!!!!"). Include alternative spellings and phrasings if you have space. For example, if you're selling an iPod, put "MP3 player" in your title. However, eBay's search will automatically account for variant phrasings; it will also sometimes check category names in addition to the auction title. Do a search on specific terms and look at the titles of the auctions that come up. Photographs which clearly illustrate the item to be sold can make a listing; bad photographs can actually repel customers. Get a cheap digital camera or a camera phone if you don't have one already. You are required to include at least one photograph with your listing, and having more than one photo definitely boosts buyers' confidence. You can have up to 12 photos per listing.  Use good lighting. Where possible, turn off...

TL;DR in English: Research your market. Log in and go to "Sell" either in "My eBay" or through the Main Page at the top. Enter a title for your listing. Take good photographs of your item. Enter a description for your item. Pick a selling format. Set your price according to how much you paid for the item, your time, eBay fees, and how much it costs to ship. Choose when to start and end your auction. Keep a friendly tone. Double-check everything before saving.

Undergoing surgery to lose weight is a drastic step to take and has the potential to be dangerous. Try every other available method of losing weight before even considering undergoing gastric bypass surgery. There are benefits and disadvantages to undergoing gastric bypass surgery, so it is important to know what benefits it provides as well as the drawbacks associated with the surgery.  The pros include:  You can lose weight very quickly  It provides weight loss solutions when other solutions don’t work  It limits your appetite when you are lacking self-control  It requires little to no physical effort    The cons are:  The surgery is dangerous, expensive, and may not be covered by your insurance  You can rupture your stomach if you eat too much  Your stomach can stretch out over time, meaning the surgery is not permanent  It does not solve the underlying issues of weight gain  It can lead to severe dietary deficiencies A medical professional may be able to help you lose weight without undergoing gastric bypass surgery. He or she may recommend alternative treatments, diets, therapies or workout programs that will help you avoid the complications and limitations of gastric bypass surgery. Also, some people who would be prime candidates for gastric bypass surgery are actually too large to undergo the procedure. This is an equally important reason to visit your doctor and discuss the realities of surgery as a solution to your weight problem. A doctor will tell you if you are an eligible candidate for gastric bypass surgery and should also inform you of the limitations you will face after the surgery. These limitations often include extremely limited ability to intake food, severe dietary restrictions on the types of food you can eat, and discomfort in the stomach during or after eating. Gastric bypass surgery is not to be taken lightly. It is an invasive medical procedure that will require you to take time off of work for recovery and will likely require the assistance of a friend or family member in the hours...

TL;DR in English: Use surgery as a last resort. Know the pros and cons of GBS. Consult with a physician or doctor. Determine if the lost weight is worth the sacrifice. Schedule and prepare for the procedure. Attend all follow-up appointments and follow your doctor’s instructions.

When Ubuntu is the only operating system of the computer, you can remove it by using an operating system install disc for any operating system. Once you’ve inserted it, restart the computer and boot from CD, as outlined in Step 2 above. Once you start the installation process for the new operating system, you are given the opportunity to create and delete partitions on your hard drive. Select your Ubuntu partition and delete it. This will return the partition to unallocated space. Once the partition is deleted, Ubuntu has been successfully removed from the computer. You can now install a new operating system such as Windows 7 or Windows 8. If you choose not to install the operating system, your computer will be unusable until one is installed.

TL;DR in English: Insert the disc of the operating system you want to install. Delete the Ubuntu partition. Continue installing the operating system, or remove the disc and power down the computer.

To become an authorized Nike dealer, you must have a physical store.  Your store might be a shoe store, a sporting goods store, or a large retail outlet.  Whatever type of store you have, you must also have a business license. Online stores are not eligible for business as an authorized Nike dealer. Before applying to become a Nike authorized dealer, you need to register a user profile with Nike by creating a username and password.  You can create a user profile at http://nike.force.com/era/apex/CIG_US_AccountRegistration.  You will need to provide both personal and business information, including:  Your full name Your email address Your home address Your password The address of your business The name of your business Additionally, you will need to agree to Nike’s terms and conditions. The Electronic Retailer Application (ERA) is available online at http://nike.force.com/era.  The first step is to log in to your account.  On the left-hand pane, click “Start a New Retailer Application.”  Then click “Account Survey.” It’s free to apply.

TL;DR in English:


Notice if she starts going out without you more often. Pay attention if your wife is unreachable for long periods of time. Watch for changes in her stories or details that don’t add up. Listen carefully if she starts talking about a new friend. Pay attention to how often she works or goes on business trips. Look at how much money she spends when she is out.

After there are no funds remaining, you can close the account. You will need the approval of all the account holders to do this, so ask anyone else listed on the account to go to a branch location with you or stay nearby for approval by phone.  Use your bank’s online banking tool, or contact customer service, to check your account balance If your final withdrawal is marked “Pending,” note the planned transaction date, and then check again. Since banks require a range of processes, take the time to make sure you understand your responsibilities, so that you don’t run into difficulties.  Most banks do not allow online account closures, so be prepared to call customer service or visit a bank branch. Some banks require special forms or letters that must be notarized. You should expect to receive an official letter showing that you closed your account, but it is better to ask. This letter should arrive in 5-10 business days.  If you did not transfer your funds before closing your account you should also receive a check for the balance of funds remaining in your account. Contact your bank if you don’t receive your closing documents in 5-10 business days. If these don’t arrive, chances are there is a problem with your account and it has remained open. Getting rid of these access points will help you to avoid accidental use, as well as potential fraud. Make sure your EFT, bill pay and other credits and debits are going in and out of the new account. Simple human error may delay the proper closing of your account.

TL;DR in English: Check your old account to verify that it is now empty. Look up your bank’s account closing procedures. Request verification that your account is closed. Shred all debit cards and checkbooks connected with your previous account. Watch both of your accounts for the next 30 days.

This includes your hands and the fruit you will be extracting oil from. Cold pressing doesn’t involve chemicals for extraction, so it’s important to thoroughly wash the fruit to remove bacteria. It takes about 25 pieces of citrus fruit to produce a useful amount of oil this way. Plan ahead! Remove the rind of the fruit with a peeler or knife and place it to the side. You may also remove the rind of the fruit with your fingers if you desire, but this can cause a greater amount of pulp and other fruit material to end up in the oils, which will need to be removed later.  The greatest concentration of oils in most fruit is contained in the outer layer of the rind. The lighter portion of the rind contains much less oil.  You can use an electric peeler to obtain the skin of the fruit, but note that this may produce more pulp than a hand peeled method. Once the fruit is peeled, you can use the leftover fruit for cooking or eating. There are a variety of uses for the leftover fruit peel, even after pressing. Rather than composting the peel, try:  Keeping the peels in a small bag and hanging it somewhere to keep the room smelling zesty. The oil in orange peel, limonene, acts as a repellant for several types of insects. Toss a few peels into the garbage disposal and give them a good grinding to freshen up the smell of your sink. Use a pressing device, such as a sieve, to squeeze the fruit peel over a jar. Heavy pressure will squeeze liquid from the peel - this liquid contains the oils you're looking for. Use a fair amount of strength when pressing, but take care not to damage or break the implement you are using. You should see a small amount of oil drain from the peel after a few seconds.  Cold pressing peel is quite a bit of effort for what looks to be a fairly small amount of oil. Don’t get discouraged. The oil is quite potent.  A garlic press is a great way of pressing small amounts of fruit peel with ease. A mortar and pestle may also be used, though this method is a little more labor intensive and difficult....

TL;DR in English: Wash the materials. Peel the fruit. Reuse the leftover peels. Press the fruit peel. Separate the oils. Apply when needed.

Write in print rather than cursive if you’re writing the return address by hand. Using all capital letters will prevent the mail service from misreading the address and returning the package or letter to the wrong place. Cursive may confuse some postal workers and cause them to return the letter to the wrong place. If you’re using a label or printing the return address out, use at least size 10 font. If you can, make the address even larger if it fits on the label or envelope. Don't use a font that's hard to read when writing the return address. Priority mail requires that you include a return address. Priority mail also comes with its own benefits, like being able to track the package.

TL;DR in English: Use large, capital letters if you’re writing the letter by hand. Use a simple, size 10 font if you’re typing the return address. Use a return address when sending something via priority mail.

Here's what you'll need to make non-alcoholic ginger ale:  1 cup (200 g) peeled, finely chopped ginger 2 cups (450 ml) water 1 cup (225 g) sugar 1 cup (225 ml) water 1/2 cup (115 ml) club soda (per glass) A few drops of lime juice Lime wedges (for garnish) Add the ginger, which should be peeled and finely chopped. Reduce heat to medium low and let the ginger sit in the simmering water for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit for 20 minutes. Any longer than that and it might be too gingery. Discard the ginger pieces. The water should be completely infused with the ginger taste, so you don't need them. Dissolve 1 cup granulated sugar into 1 cup of boiling water. When it's not grainy anymore, it's ready. Set aside. This is the amount needed for each glass. Add a few drops of fresh lime juice and a lime wedge to each drink. Serve chilled and enjoy!

TL;DR in English: Gather your ingredients. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer. In a separate saucepan, make the simple syrup. Mix 1/2 cup of ginger water with 1/3 cup of the simple syrup and 1/2 cup of club soda.

You must provide warm water to maintain the health of your betta fish.  To do this, you will need to get a heater for your aquarium.  The type of heater you need will vary, depending on how large your aquarium is.  The two main types of heaters should be available at your local pet supply store.  Tanks larger than 2.5 gallons will need a submersible aquarium heater. For tanks between 2.5 and 5 gallons, you will need a 25 watt power rating.  For 10 gallon tanks, purchase a 50 watt heater. Tanks that are smaller than 2.5 gallons can use submersible 7.5 watt heater pads.  These pads don't regulate temperature, so you will need to monitor the temperature of the tank often. Lamps are not the best choice for heating as betta fish do not like bright lighting. The easiest way to keep an eye on the temperature in your betta's aquarium is to install a thermometer.  You will need a thermometer that is designed to be submerged into the tank water.  Once your thermometer is installed you can easily check to make sure your betta is in an ideal environment.  Temperatures need to be maintained at 76 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit or 24 to 26 degrees Celsius. Place the thermometer in a place that you can easily read it. Thermometers that stick on the side of the aquarium are often not accurate enough to use. Consider where the best place in your house might be for your aquarium.  Look for areas that are more stable in terms of temperature, naturally helping to maintain the temperature in your tank.  Avoid placing the tank next to any drafty windows or cool areas in your house. Don't put the aquarium next to a heat source.

TL;DR in English: Install a heater in the tank. Add a thermometer to the tank. Place the tank in a good location.

While it’s healthy to spend time away from your partner, it might be a cause for concern if your wife seems to prefer going out without you. This is especially true if she picks activities with others over date night with you. Take note if she starts to go out alone or with friends several times a week. It’s possible she’s seeing someone else.  It’s normal and healthy for both partners to enjoy time away from each other. Don’t assume that your wife’s desire to have a “girls night” or go to happy hour after work is a sign she’s having an affair. If your wife uses social media often, check her profile on nights she goes out. If she’s posting pictures of girls night or happy hour, she’s likely telling the truth. If your wife suddenly stops answering your calls and returning your texts, this might be a cause for concern. Notice if you’re having trouble getting a reply several times a week, as well as the time of day when this happens. When she gives you excuses, ask questions to see if her story changes and consider if the reason makes sense. For example, let’s say your wife usually answers your texts while she’s in the office, but lately she hasn’t been responding. Talk to her about what’s going on. It’s possible she’s working on a big project and has been busy, but it’s also possible she’s spending time with someone else or is prioritizing their messages. Make a habit of talking to your wife about her day. Listen to what she says and watch for inconsistencies or details that don’t make sense. If you have any concerns, ask her about them to see if her story changes.  For instance, let’s say your wife says she had lunch with a female coworker but then complains that the same coworker has been out all week. This would be a red flag. Similarly, if she says she was late getting home because she had to go to the dry cleaners but she didn’t bring home any clothes, she could be fibbing. As a bonus, talking to your wife about her day will be good for your relationship. It’s normal to want to tell a lot of stories about...

A forward's number-one goal is to put the ball on target. Even if they don't score, shooting on target creates corners, deflections, and rebounds that lead to goals and put defenses under pressure. Your mindset should always be to create the space needed to pull a shoot off for either you or your teammates. Note that you want your team to shoot, not just you. Some forwards will get lots of direct chances, others will feed their partner forwards with good chances and take only a few themselves. A mobile striker is the most dangerous. Even if you don't get the ball every time, good forwards know that they need to keep the defense on their toes for 90 minutes, as this is when they make mistakes and reveal the sorts of gaps that create goals. When your team has the ball, look up for the open space and make a run.  Always be on a light jog, or on the balls of your toes, to get the jump on defenders when space opens up. They'll be looking to close down space as you try to fill it. Keep your eye on your other forward(s). Timing runs to weave and criss-cross with them will throw the defense for an enormous loop. If you're simply standing in the box, waiting for the ball to arrive, you're incredibly easy to mark up. Instead, time your runs so that you get to the ball as it is arriving, allowing you to cut it out before the ball reaches a defender and get a running start for any jumping header. Keep your eye on the ball and reach it just as it becomes available to play and you'll win many more headers, volleys, and long balls.  This is also the best strategy to avoid offside traps, letting you go from jogging to sprinting once the ball is played instead of trying to hit full speed from standing. Curling runs are great for making time and space. Instead of sprinting into the box straight on, take a curving path as the ball is coming down the wings, then cut straight in once the ball is in the air. Your curling run lets you approach the box on the run while still letting you change directions quickly. Checking means...

TL;DR in English: Watch for the shot at all times, staying hungry for a goal. Dart, weave, and sprint into open space to create defensive chaos. Time your approach to crosses so that you hit them near full speed. Check to the ball instead of always running away from it. Challenge the defense one on one when you have space to run. Follow all shots and crosses into the goal. Come back to the midfield on defense, holding up the back defenders.

Add 1 cup (227 g) of unsalted butter that’s softened to room temperature to the bowl of a stand mixer. Blend the butter on medium-low speed for 10 to 20 seconds to cream it. You can also mix the cookie dough with a handheld electric mixer. Add 1 cup (200 g) of sugar and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract to the butter. Mix the ingredients in on medium-low until they’re fully combined. Reduce the mixer’s speed to low. Slowly pour 1 ¾ cup (219 g) of all-purpose flour that’s been sifted into the bowl, and blend until it is just combined and a stiff dough forms. This dough doesn’t need to be refrigerated before rolling it out. However, if you aren’t going to bake the cookies right away, you should store it in the fridge. Take it out about 5 minutes before you plan to make the cookies to soften it slightly.

TL;DR in English: Beat the butter. Blend in the sugar and vanilla. Gradually mix the flour in.

Almost as if you are a blank white canvas and your style is the art. What would you want to say to people? Indie is about finding your own voice and and being proud to speak.  Look for vintage clothes that you like. Older cuts and prints are often lost to time, and some of them are completely worth bringing back! Don't be afraid to wear something that you might think is a little crazy. Being indie is about being you! If you think it will look good, give it a shot. Visit your local thrift store instead — you will save money, help the earth by recycling, and find treasures you would never see at the mall. Jewelry, watches, hats, scarves: all of them are avenues of expression. Look for treasures in your travels, but don't forget that you can make them yourself! Your accessories should look like they have significance to you. Indie culture tends to focus on a natural look. Minimize the makeup, wear organically shaped clothing (flowy tops or willowy pants), and keep your hair looking great but kind of like you just rolled out of bed or came off the beach.

TL;DR in English: Express yourself with your wardrobe. Stay away from big brands and stores. Make your accessories treasures. Go for a natural look.

These seem to show unfulfilled needs and drives influencing mental health, as studies indicate that brain scans of those infatuated by love closely resemble scans of brains with mental illness; so it seems emotions, desires and physiological responses are often neurological in nature. Andrew Newberg, M.D. is an Associate Professor of Radiology and Psychiatry in the School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. A prominent researcher in the field of nuclear medicine brain imaging, his research focuses on the development of neurotransmitter tracers for the evaluation of religiosity and neurological and psychiatric disorders like clinical depression, head injury, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. So, is the disturbance of individual reactions such as feeling unsuccessful in important areas required for ones personal success, satisfactions and self fulfillment neurologically based?

TL;DR in English: Study how brain scans show activity in areas of strong emotions, needs and feelings like dissatisfaction, addictions and longings. Consider that the areas of brain activity of infatuation and mental illness are quite similar to brain activity in hunger, thirst and drug addiction (like pressures caused by needs).

Prepare a baking sheet by covering it with a sheet of nonstick aluminum foil or parchment paper. In order to make sure that the walnuts toast evenly, you should keep them all in a single layer rather than allowing them to pile up. The nuts will also benefit from being spaced slightly apart, but they will still toast even if they are touching. For best results, position the nuts so that the "x" marked on the shell faces up. The mark does not need to be completely upright, but it should not be covered by the baking sheet or by other nuts. The nuts should continue toasting until they become fragrant and take on a slightly darker hue. The shell should also begin to turn up slightly where the "x" is at. You might need to cook the walnuts for as long as 15 minutes, but they generally toast a little faster in-shell, so 10 minutes is often enough. It is not necessary, but stirring the nuts will help ensure even and thorough cooking. Use a spatula, as the nuts and baking sheet will be too hot to touch by hand. Make sure that the "x" on each shell can still be seen and is not covered.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Spread the walnuts out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake the walnuts for 10 minutes. Stir the nuts at the halfway point.

Harsh soaps can make dry skin worse. Try something like Dove, Cerave, or Cetaphil. Look for words like "For Sensitive Skin" and "Moisturizing." When you shower or bathe, it's best to stick with just lukewarm water. Hot water can dry out skin even more. You can use a physical exfoliant, such as a pumice stone or a foot file. Near the end of your shower or bath, gently scrape your feet with the file or pumice. You can also do it after your bath if you prefer.  Another option is to use a liquid foot scrub that is designed to exfoliate. Rub it on in the shower and wash it off.  Some people have had good luck with a foot soak of 1 part Listerine, 1 part vinegar, and 2 parts warm water. Soak your feet in it for 20 minutes. However, you'll likely still need to use a physical exfoliant. Apply a lotion after you bathe or shower. Showering and bathing can dry out your skin, but applying lotion locks in the moisture that showers leave behind. If you think your cuticles don't look pretty, try paying special attention to them when you're rubbing in moisturizer. Gently massage each edge of your cuticle with cream. If your regular lotions aren't cutting it, it's fine to use an oil-based lotion on your feet. You can also just use plain petroleum jelly. These types of creams are too heavy for places like your face, but they can help out severely dry areas like cracked heels. It's also helpful to put on cream when you go to bed. To keep it sealed in, try pulling socks on over the cream. Ingredients like aloe and palm oil can help with cracked skin.

TL;DR in English: Use gentle soap in the shower. Keep it warm. Scrub off dead skin with an exfoliant. Seal in moisture. Try oil-based lotions. Put on cream at night.

The Internet has many commercial sites that provide VHRs. The free information, however, is limited. For example, CarFax advertises a free “myCarFax.com” report, which provides your car's service history, upcoming service alerts, and information about recalls. Other sites with free reports provide similar information that is based generically on your car's make and model, but is not specific to the car's VIN. Free reports typically provide the following generic information:  manufacturer model manufacturing details, such as chassis type, engine size, country of assembly, and engine power a general summary of what the full report would contain if you choose to purchase it. The five most commonly used sources for purchasing a VHR are CarFax, AutoCheck, the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), and the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS), which has two different sources. A full VHR, which you can usually purchase for a fee that ranges between $10 and $40, includes the following information about the specific car, based on its VIN:  ownership history clean title/ownership verification periodic odometer readings maintenance records history of rental or lease accident repair history flood repair history Until recently, full VHRs have only been available for purchase. As of December 2015, however, a source called Vehicle History (web address www.VehicleHistory.com) is offering a full VHR for free. The report from Vehicle History contains the following information:  vehicle ownership records vehicle information government records public records background history historical records state records If you are considering the purchase of a used car, the information that is available in a full report is generally worth the cost of the purchase. Purchasing a full VHR is usually less than $50, which is very small compared to the price of the car itself. As Consumer Reports points out, even if a mechanic tells you that the car is in good condition, the history of an accident, flood damage, or some...

Nothing's too done, so don't spend ages on your hair - leave it be, put minimal makeup on (a bit of mascara, eyeliner, and lip gloss is fine) and wear casual clothes. It is not true that all surfers have blonde hair because it is bleached from the sun. Brunettes don't go blonde just because they spend time in the sun. However, surfers do have lighter hair than others because they spend a lot of time in the sun and saltwater makes your hair lighter - think Fabiola Gatti.  A good way to achieve this look is to mix one part of sea salt with three parts of water and spritz on your hair using an old hairspray bottle. It will give you that care-free "just surfed" look and is a good, natural alternative to dye if you can't actually go surfing all the time. If your hair is naturally wavy or curly, embrace it - surfer hair is typically tousled.  If it's naturally straight, after towel drying hair curl it in rags/french plait it and leave it overnight and it will be wavy by morning. There are some products on the market that boast 'surfer hair' so try these out and see what they do for. And also, if you have darker hair, or hair that's a little thicker, then you should try putting it in a braid, or braids. Put your hair in a bun, or a side ponytail, or just leave it down. It's essential for that laid-back, carefree look and looks flattering on almost everyone as it is an automatic slimmer and makes you look healthier and radiant.  Real surfers have real beach tans, but of course, if you live in a climate where you need to wear a wet suit, it's very easy to get that unflattering 'wet suit tan' where past the neck you're completely white!  Additionally you might live in a cooler climate not near the beach, or it might be winter, or you may get sunburn instead of tan.  Here, the only solution is sunless tanning, either through a sunbed (not recommended), or faking it. Make sure you use a good quality tanner, exfoliating beforehand and moisturizing afterwards to prolong it. And if you have darker skin, then you don't have...

TL;DR in English: Remember that the whole surfer look is one of carefree casualness. Try to get surfer girl hair. Get a tan. Sort out your wardrobe. Wear jewelry. Paint your toenails

of your job. Sure, some of your work may be frustrating or even boring, but pick a few things you love about your job, whether it's interacting with clients or customers, learning new things, or having the opportunity to travel occasionally.  If you’re struggling at work, reframe how you approach your job. Personalize your workspace with pictures or plants. Avoid taking on extra projects if you’re overworked. Take the time to get to know and appreciate the people you work with. You may feel like you have nothing in common, but if you make the extra effort to be friendly, it will make you much more eager to wake up to go to work. Appreciate what your job can do for you. On hard days, remember that your job allows you to put food on the table. Hobbies and interests outside of work give you something to look forward to. This helps you become a more well-rounded and interesting person. If you don’t have any hobbies currently, you might:  Develop your artistic side.

Using an agenda or planner will help you keep track of your classes, homework, and extracurricular activities. At the beginning of the school year or semester, make sure you have an updated class schedule written down or printed out in your planner. Writing down your routine will help you keep track of what you have to do on a daily basis. If you have several different classes, keep track of the syllabus for each class. If you see that you have a big exam on a certain date for one class, it might be a good idea to prioritize the amount of time studying for that exam over smaller assignments in other classes. Breaking up large tasks into smaller tasks and doing the small tasks one at a time can help you manage your work. Think ahead and get ready for the rest of the week. Make time on Sunday to make sure you're ready to go on Monday.

TL;DR in English:


Ask yourself what it means to change the world. Know that change doesn't come overnight. Don't lose sight of your ideals. Think about your natural gifts. Specify your dreams. Remember that you don't need to do it alone.

What babies need most is love and attention. A baby needs to know they are safe, secure, and loved for their brain to develop properly. When your baby cries, pick them up to see if anything wrong. Even when your baby is not crying, engage with your baby all throughout the day.  Smile at your baby often, and praise them as they grow and learn. Offer hugs and other signs of affection so your baby can feel your love.  Reassure and calm your baby when they cry. Whether you're bottle or breastfeeding, feeding time is a time for bonding. When babies are born, they actually can't see very far, so getting the baby up near your face for feeding helps them to see you and interact with you. Breastfeeding provides your baby with some passive immunity during the first year of life, and breast milk is the best source of nutrition possible for your baby during the first year, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Your baby learns about the world through their eyes. When they're looking at you, they are learning how people use their bodies to communicate. By making eye contact, the baby is more likely to focus on your face as you have a conversation with them. Babies are learning to recognize the people around them. At as young as 3 months, peek-a-boo becomes a fun game for babies. It helps babies reinforce facial recognition. You can also use a mirror to help a baby work on facial recognition.

TL;DR in English: Shower your baby with affection. Use feeding time to encourage interaction. Make eye contact. Play peek-a-boo.

For ultraviolet tanning, nothing beats good, old-fashioned sunshine. If your skies or weather don't permit, though, tanning beds are an effective, year-round alternative to keep your skin lightly browned. Keep it all in moderation—great looking skin can end up looking like leather if you stay in the "oven" too long. Skin that's well hydrated will tan better than dusty, dry skin. Before you do prepare your skin to tan well, do the following:  In the shower, exfoliate dry, dead epidermal cells by scrubbing gently with a rough cloth, loofah, or exfoliating soap.  Moisturize your skin with a lotion containing sodium PCA. It's a naturally-occurring component of human skin that helps maintain a healthy epidermis, and works by attracting moisture from the air.  Apply the right level of sunscreen for your skin. If you have light skin, use a lotion with a higher SPF rating than if you have darker skin. No matter what your skin type or how much base you have built up, always use a sunscreen with at least an SPF rating of 15.  If you are going to be in the water, make sure your sunscreen is waterproof, or re-apply when you're out of the water. Otherwise, re-apply sunscreen as directed on the label—usually every couple hours. If you are just going to sit on the beach and tan for an hour put SPF 4-15 on, depending on how fair your complexion is and how much base you've already built up.  If you don't use sunscreen while tanning, UVA and UVB rays can still harm your skin, even if you don't get burned! Use lip balm with sunscreen as well. Ideally, apply your sunscreen in the shade, and let it soak in for 20-25 minutes before you go into the sun. Reapply as needed if you go swimming and the sunscreen is not waterproof, or every couple hours as directed on the label. If you notice redness developing on your skin, get out of the light—you're already burned, and continuing to bake will only deepen the burn and increase your risk of serious damage. Unless you want a patchwork quilt of tan lines, wear the swimsuit you will wear...

TL;DR in English: Choose your UV source. Hydrate your skin. Wear sunscreen when you tan! (Un)dress for success. Find your place in the sun. Move while you tan. Protect your eyes. Hydrate! After you tan, moisturize.

It can be a silly song, one of their favorite songs, or even just a song that you love that you sing quietly. Singing attracts your child’s attention and gets it away from the shoes that are going on the little one’s feet. I’ve-got-your-nose is a great one to get your toddler laughing and engaged on you rather than the shoes going on your child’s feet. You can have your toddler check behind his/her ears because you see something. Your child, of course, finds nothing and will be astounded when you find a penny back there. Sit near a window and play “I Spy”. Talk to their toes and have the toes count off as you put the sock on. See who can make the funniest face or noise. Try to make the most animal noises you can. This can feel like a slippery slope because it can be hard to have that many stories up your sleeve. The good news is, kids love hearing stories repeated. A one year-old can even repeat words or phrases from a favorite story after a while. Don’t be afraid or intimidated by not having enough because what you have will be plenty.  When telling a familiar story you can ask your child, “Do you remember what happened next?” You can make up a fictional character and tell stories about him/her. You can make these stories up entirely or use events in your own life to make it easier to remember the details. This may be the last resort, the Defcon 1 of attention deception. Kids love the games on your phone so make sure you have a couple your child likes. If shoe time is that bad, make those few minutes game time on the phone.

TL;DR in English: Sing. "Trick" your child. Play games. Tell a story. Use your phone.

If you have figured out that one of your family members is struggling with depression, it can be seem like you had something to do with it. But it’s not your fault. Depression makes it hard to for people to connect emotionally with their loved ones. To be available to this person and help them, it is important to understand that it’s not personal. When you are talking to a depressed family member, you have to keep in mind that they are dealing with an actual physical problem. It can be tempting to blame their mental disorder on decisions they have made, but recognizing that it’s not their fault can help you be less critical and more supportive. Keep in mind that your love and support can help them recover from depression. Your support of their recovery process is one of the most valuable things you can offer someone struggling with depression. Offering to let someone with depression talk about what they are feeling without judging them is an important part of recovery. It will help them feel less alone. You can also offer to help them find a support group, where they can talk to people who have been through what they are going through to help them feel less alone. To help your depressed family member, you need to know what they are experiencing. With depression, there are a lot of things that can be going on, so you have to ask direct questions to get to the heart of it. You can prompt your loved one to explore why they are feeling depressed to help them get to the other side of it. Ask questions like:  “When did you first start to feel bad?” ”Do you know what triggered these feelings?” ”What makes it worse?” ”What makes it better?” Demanding that your loved one change the way they feel is a pointless exercise, mostly because they don’t know how to change how they feel. You will feel frustrated when they don’t change, and they will feel angry toward you, perhaps even feeling more depressed than ever. This can also trigger shame in them, which makes things even worse. If you try to rescue your family member,...

TL;DR in English: Recognize that their illness is not your fault. Recognize that it is a real physical illness. Offer support. Ask direct questions. Avoid telling the person to change. Avoid trying to fix the family member. Have a positive attitude.

Once you've added the crickets to your reptile's environment, keep an eye on how many your reptile eats.  It's important that you only feed them the amount they are able to eat in one meal.  Count how many crickets you placed in the cage and compare it to how many crickets are left untouched after a half hour of fifteen minutes.  Next time, add only the amount of crickets your reptile can eat in one meal. Give your reptile a maximum of one-half of an hour to eat all the crickets you've added. Crickets are omnivorous and will attempt to bite and eat your reptile if they are left in the enclosure for too long.  Save your reptile needless stress and pain by removing any uneaten crickets at night.  Adjust how many crickets you feed them next time based on how many extra were leftover.  Never leave leftover crickets in the reptile's enclosure. If your reptile is not hungry, it will not eat the crickets.  Leaving extra crickets in the enclosure will only cause your reptile problems. Crickets can also carry diseases or parasites and will also create waste in your reptiles enclosure. Reptile's metabolism is based on how warm their environment is kept.  Warmer environments will increase activity levels, metabolic rates, and will allow your reptile the energy to hunt and eat healthy amounts of food.  Always watch the enclosure's temperature to ensure that your reptile is able to eat and properly digest their food.  Your reptile will have varying temperatures that it enjoys depending on what type it is. Generally, the temperature will be lowered at night and your reptile won't want to eat during that time.  Make sure they eat enough during the warmer hours of the day.

TL;DR in English: Watch how many crickets your reptile eats. Remove extra crickets. Maintain the right cage temperature.

It is a grand intention, to be sure, and you can certainly find a way to make a difference if you have the will and means to do so. However, it's important to remember that "changing the world" usually doesn't mean "fixing everything about the world." It typically means something more like, "encountering a problem and fixing that problem." Even the quickest and most decisive revolutions take months or years of groundwork.Patience brings Reward. Don't expect to change the world with one big, heroic act. Try to live your values each day, even if you don't see much appreciable change on a day-to-day level. Work hard and don't give up.Be Patient Even if your cumulative actions don't change the world, you'll be able to say that you lived a life you're proud of. You might inspire or teach others by example. You may find that change occurs when you least expect it. Be patient and intentional – but not too patient. Set realistic goals for yourself, but try not to lose your fire in the details. Your desire to change the world is powerful as long as it burns within you. There is a quote, often (dubiously) attributed to Pablo Picasso: "The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The meaning of life is to give it away." Consider what you love doing: a thing that sets you afire with passion, that consumes you, that holds your focus for hours at the hint of a spark. Do that thing, even if no one else is doing it. Find a way to share it with the world.  Consider all the various ways that people have changed the world. Nelson Mandela changed the world by combating Apartheid; Henry Ford by popularizing the automobile; Steve Jobs changing personal computers; Gutenberg by inventing the printing press; Marco Polo by traveling widely and connecting cultures. You can draw inspiration from someone else, or you can forge your own way. Read about people who have changed the world. Seek inspiration in their stories. These people can be almost anyone that you admire: not just Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Steve Jobs, Jr., but Bill...

A gentleman looks and smells pleasant when out in public. It is one thing to sweat while working out, but not while out and about. Take regular care of your body and that you look polished and clean before you step out.  Make sure to bathe regularly. When applying deodorant or cologne, be sparing. An overpowering odor--even of cologne or body spray--is not pleasant, and can be offensive. Use of hair product is fine, but be careful of hair gel. This product can be sticky and get rock hard after a while, making your hair look stiff. You can also inadvertently come off as "greasy".   If you don’t smell clean and fresh, then it doesn’t really matter how charming you are or how your clothes look. It’s important to get the hygiene down so people don’t get distracted by an unpleasant odor or appearance. Wash your hands after you use the bathroom. A gentleman cares for himself and others by preventing spread of disease. Also, other men in the washroom will notice if you bypass the sinks. Wear clothes that fit your body well, eliminate flashy clothing and avoid fashion "faux pas" (e.g. baseball hats cocked slightly to the side). A simpler wardrobe will keep the emphasis on you, not your clothes, which will change your appearance. Keep it simple, and you’ll look elegant and gentlemanly.  Stick to subdued blacks, grays, blues and browns. A gentleman can actually wear any color in moderation, but the classic colors for men are not bright. Choose classic clothing for men. Examples include suits, oxford-style shirts, khaki pants. Wear athletic clothes only for workouts or athletics. A gentleman will not wear his suit while hiking through the Alps, or practicing for his black belt, or playing tennis. But he will avoid wearing his tennis clothes unless he is going to, from, or playing tennis. What is considered "flashy" will vary from culture to culture, and situation. A white linen suit and pink shirt may be fashionable on a tropical island, but be regarded as quite flashy at a corporate board meeting in England. It’s very...

TL;DR in English: Maintain proper hygiene. Wear flattering clothes. Groom yourself well. Have a firm handshake. Avoid any offensive actions in public.

Place translucent tracing paper over your computer monitor or art book to trace from a reference image, or draw your own directly onto the tracing paper.  Avoid tiny pieces and complex lines until you are a skilled inlayer. Consider which materials you'll use for each piece. Use multiple inlay materials for better contrast and aesthetic. Cutting each piece of your inlay out from its own sheet of tracing paper ensures you'll end up with pieces of the correct size. Leave yourself at least one "master design" sheet that won't be cut at all. Place your master design sheet over carbon paper and trace it again to mark the design onto the wood you want to inlay.  You may also wish to include a few "reference marks" around the design to help you orient yourself while inlaying. If you don't have any carbon paper, cut out one of your copies and tape it in place, then trace around it onto the wood. You'll then need to cut out each piece and tape it within the larger design, tracing around its edge as well. Cutting them all from one trace will result in undersized pieces. Number each one on its surface and on the master design sheet in the order you'll be inlaying them. Start with the furthest background elements and move to the foreground. Cut your pieces larger on edges that will end up underneath another piece to create an overlapping effect. You can even cut the entire "implied" piece out, such as a leaf that will be half hidden behind another leaf. To ensure precisely cut patterns, you can tape your pattern onto a medium density fiberboard (MDF) and cut it out using a table saw, router, circular saw, or jigsaw with the proper technique:   Only use laminate or carbide blades or a carbide drill bit to cut fiberboard. Use eye protection. Clean table saws thoroughly to remove debris that could cause a bad cut. Clamp the fiberboard in place and score with a utility knife before using a circular saw or jigsaw. Tape the fiberboard template or the paper cutout onto the wood veneer or other inlay material. Trace the pattern...

TL;DR in English: Create your design. Make several copies of your design. Trace the design onto the wood. Cut out each paper segment from separate copies. Create a fiberboard template (optional). Cut the first segment from the inlay materials. Sand or file the edges smooth. Temporarily attach the piece or template to the base. Cut lightly around the piece, then remove the inlay. Trace the groove to make it more distinct. Set up your cutting tool. Cut away most of the recess with a 1/8" drill bit (3.0 or 3.5 mm). Cut to the edge using a 1/16" drill bit (1.5 or 1.6 mm). Glue the piece in. Clamp in place and let dry. Level the surface. Cut and place additional pieces.

Make sure that your friends, classmates, and acquaintances all know that you are always there for them, and ready to be a sympathetic ear. If you're a helpful listener, people will seek you out when they have really juicy gossip to share. Help them to unburden themselves of those weighty secrets. Then, you know, spread them around.  Practice your active listening skills. Make eye contact when someone is talking, nodding your head along to encourage them. Repeat and summarize what they've said, and encourage them to talk more. Sometimes, it's helpful to give a little gossip of your own to help get someone talking. If a friend seems bothered by some problem, say something like, "You know, I've been feeling the same way. Tell me how you're feeling" to get them started. Then just keep talking about them instead of circling back to you. People typically want to keep secrets to themselves. If you want to bring gossip up to the surface, you've got to learn how to dig below and get at the good stuff.  Pay attention to body language when someone talks to you. If someone is shifty, uncomfortable, and won't make eye contact, it likely shows that they're feeling uncomfortable about a topic you're discussing. Ask leading questions to keep them talking. "What happened next?" or "And then what did he say?" will help to keep the gossip rolling, even if the other person doesn't want to talk. Be insistent. If you like to talk, go where the talkers go, and hang out with people who like to gossip. Learn who you can trust with secrets, and who will spread them on to others by asking pointed questions. If someone gives you the goods when you ask, "What's her deal?" you know you've got a friend in dirt.  Added bonus: If you have a friend who is always blurting out secrets, it makes it easier to blame gossip on them, if necessary. If your friends are unable to keep secrets, keep your own secrets under close lock and key. Be very careful you don't go from gossiper to gossiped-about. Women often get an unfair reputation for being the...

When you adopt a pet, you are making a commitment to take care of it for the rest of their life. You will need to begin this commitment by buying all the items that your pet will need. In general, all pets need food, water, toys, and bedding. You will need to buy these ahead of time, and the containers that are used to supply them to your pet.  Cats will also require a scratching post and a cat litter box. Dogs will need a collar and a leash so you can take them outside to go to the bathroom and on outings. your home for a pet.  Pet-proof your home by putting away items that could be hazardous to your pet, such as toxic cleaning chemicals. You should also set up a special area for your new pet, with either a bed or a cage that will house the pet. Having your house all set up before you bring your pet home will help ease the transition your pet will make. It will allow you to focus your attention on the pet, instead of the logistics of setting up its area. Once you have finished your paperwork and have paid any adoption fees, you will be free to take your pet home. Depending on the type of pet, you will use different ways to transport it home. A dog will need to go into a carrier or be strapped into a harness in the car. A cat will need to go into a carrier. A smaller pet, like a hamster or mouse, will be transported in a small travel cage. Many shelters will provide small travel cages for little pets. However, you will need to purchase a travel carrier to bring home a cat or dog. Have its health assessed, make sure it is up to date on vaccinations, and schedule any veterinary procedures that your pet may need in the future. Sometimes a free vet visit, including vaccinations, is included with the pet adoption. Animal shelters are working to solve the pet overpopulation problem.

Swimmers often focus on swimming as fast as possible, not swimming with the least amount of drag. Drag is the resistance your body has against the water. Remember that it takes true skill, not just force, to bring down that drag. There are many ways to decrease your drag, such as improving your balance or swimming taller. This is a great way to decrease your drag. To stay balanced, maintain a position that is as horizontal as it can possibly be as you move through the water. This will make it so that the least amount of water gets in your path, slowing you down. This is especially important for the freestyle stroke, where you have to keep yourself from lifting your head too much, which disrupts your balance, so you have to kick harder to counterbalance. This is a bit different when it comes to the breaststroke and butterfly stroke, because your body undulates instead of being perfectly balanced during the strokes. Try to make yourself as tall as possible when you're in the water. The taller or longer you are, the better and faster you can swim. For example, to swim taller during the free stroke, you have to enter your recovering arm into the water early, once it passes over your head; you should extend your recovering arm forward as far is it will go before you begin the down sweep and catch. Think about it: if your body is all scrunched up instead of stretched nice and tall, it'll be more difficult to move through the water. When you kick, you shouldn't break the surface of the water or move your legs too low below the body line—it all goes back to maintaining balance. If you do this, you'll be off balance, creating more drag. This does not mean you should focus more on strength than skill. Remember that about 10% of your speed comes from your legs, while the rest comes from your arms, so you should focus on pulling hard and making sure your legs don't slow you down, but instead help propel you forward faster. Don't be afraid to roll from side to side a bit more as you use each arm stroke. This will let you...

TL;DR in English: Decrease your drag. Improve your balance. Swim taller. Kick efficiently. Improve your propulsion. Use your sides. Don't forget your core muscles. Anchor your arms. Maintain a neutral head position. Spread your fingers when you swim.

Hold the gun at a 45-degree angle with the nozzle facing downwards. Then, over a piece of paper, press the trigger at the back of the gun while moving the caulking gun steadily in one direction. The caulk should come out in a steady stream.  If you move the caulking gun too fast, the caulk will be too thin and uneven. If you move the caulking gun too slow, the caulk will be clumpy and unworkable. Find a balance between the two. Don't worry if you pressed the trigger and no caulk came out. Let the pressure off the trigger then start again. Hold the caulking gun with two hands. One hand should be by the trigger. Use your other hand to hold the end of the caulking tube, assisting your aim. Tilt the entire gun 45 degrees. The caulk should start to flow towards the nozzle. Although the trigger will push some of the caulk out of the tube, by holding the gun at 45 degrees, you are using gravity to help with the process.

TL;DR in English:

A common way for clutter to start building up is after a load of laundry. Instead of shoving your cleaned laundry into your room, put it away immediately. When you fold your clothes fresh out of the wash, you decrease the chance of wrinkles. Fold, sort, and put away your clean clothes right after the wash.  Avoid letting piles of clothing build up on the floor of your room. If you don't have enough room for your clothes, get rid of more clothes. If you need extra storage for your clothes, organize your clothes based off the season. Once it’s summer, store away all your coats and sweaters in a storage bin and place in a community closet, garage, or an attic. Instead of waiting a couple of months to a year, do small bits of organizing and cleaning every day or week. If you have a small amount of clutter on your desk or in the corner of your room, go take care of it. Don’t let the mess build up. You can save yourself a hassle in the future by tackling bits of clutter as they form. You should plan to sweep/vacuum your room at least once a week. If you have a cat or dog, consider doing it more often. Many people have problems with hoarding materials or purchasing impulse buys. If you are one of these people, attempt to limit the amount of belongings you purchase. One way to implement this is to consider where the belonging would fit into your room. Ask yourself: “Could this fit in my room practically?” and “Am I buying this for the right reasons?”  If you are considering upgrading a belonging, decide if you’re willing to purge the original? It is okay to have decorations around your room, but too many can over clutter your walls and floor space.

TL;DR in English: Put away your laundry after drying. Clean your room regularly. Avoid over-buying.

When a jumper runs towards the bar they are building the momentum necessary to jump over the bar. Therefore, you need to perfect the running technique before you attempt to jump over anything. Practice by running towards a gymnastics mat and behaving as if there was a bar in front of it. This is the same kind of mat that will be behind the bar when you’re ready jump over it. Most jumpers only take about 10 strides before they jump over the bar, so make sure you’re at least ten paces away from the mat to simulate this. If you’re a beginner step even further back about 5 to 6 strides to give yourself plenty of room to gain momentum.  Don’t stand directly in front of the mat. You will be running in a “J” shape by turning towards the bar about ten strides into your run. Therefore, you need to be at least nine feet to the left or the right of the mat before you start running. If your right leg is dominant you should be to the right of the mat. If your left leg is dominant, go to the left of the mat. Women typically step 9 to 13 feet (2.7 to 4.0 m) to the left or right of the mat and begin their run 35 to 55 feet (10.7 to 16.8 m) back, while men typically step 12 to 16 feet (3.7 to 4.9 m) to the left or right of the mat and begin 50 to 70 feet (15.2 to 21.3 m) back. Use your non-dominant foot to push off. Some athletes start low to the ground and will be in an upright position by stride three. Do what is most comfortable for you, but while practicing it may be easier to start standing up.  Be sure to run in a “J” shape. The path you create with your run will look like a "J" because you run straight and then curve toward the bar at the end. Run straight toward the corner of the mat for about 5 strides to gain momentum. Begin to curve so you will eventually be parallel with the bar after about 3 strides. Do not accelerate or decelerate. Maintain a consistent speed so your momentum is not lost. This can also be called a “push off.” Push off into the air with your non-dominant foot. The non-dominant leg will...

TL;DR in English: Practice your running technique. Prepare to run towards the mat. Begin running. Jump towards the mat.

Try to get some physical exercise every day, even if it’s just a walk, or taking 20 minutes to have a dance party. Regular exercise can release endorphins, natural painkillers, which can relax you and regulate your mood. Inactivity can actually create tension and stress, making you more likely to overreact to situations that upset you. Both of these substances can make your adrenal glands increase the production of stress hormones, which makes it easier for you to get upset and harder to remain calm.  Try cutting out caffeine and sugar for a few weeks to see if you feel calmer and more relaxed. Then, you can gradually add small amounts of caffeine or sugar, if you like.  Even if you do decide to drink caffeine, make sure to consume no more than 400mg per day as an adult or 100mg per day as a teen.  Try to eat a healthy snack every 3 to 4 hours. This helps keep your blood sugar constant, which can prevent mood swings and irritability. Although it is very common to use alcohol as a coping strategy for stress, this is not a healthy behavior. If you’re the legal age, it is usually okay to enjoy the occasional drink, but you should not use alcohol as "stress relief." This approach puts you at an increased risk of alcohol abuse and alcoholism.  If you choose to drink alcohol, do so only in moderation. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism suggests that males drink no more than 4 drinks per day and no more than 14 drinks per week. Females should drink no more than 3 drinks per day and no more than 7 drinks per week.  A single "drink" refers to 12 oz. of regular beer, 8-9 oz. of malt liquor, 5oz. of wine, or 1.5 oz. (a shot) of 80-proof liquor.  Don't drink alcohol right before bed. Although it may make you feel drowsy at first, alcohol interferes with REM sleep and can leave you feeling fatigued the next day. Insufficient sleep is a common cause of feeling stressed out and anxious. Studies suggest that most Americans need more sleep than they currently get. Take some steps to make sure the sleep you...

TL;DR in English: Exercise to reduce stress. Avoid caffeine and sugar. Do not turn to alcohol to relieve stress. Make sure you get enough sleep. Establish a good balance between work and leisure.

It is common for people suffering from mental illnesses, especially those like depression and anxiety, to feel as though they should be able to just “snap out of it.” However, just as you wouldn’t expect yourself to “snap out of” diabetes or heart disease, you shouldn’t judge yourself because you’re struggling with mental illness. Having a network of people who accept and support you is important for everyone, but especially if you’re dealing with a mental illness. Friends and family are good places to start. There are also many support groups available. Check for a support group in your community, or find one online. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is a good place to start. They have a help-line and a directory of support resources. While  meditation cannot replace qualified professional help and/or medication, it can help you manage the symptoms of certain mental illnesses, particularly those related to addiction and substance abuse or anxiety.  Mindfulness and meditation emphasize the importance of acceptance and presence, which can help alleviate stress.  You may find it helpful to seek instruction from a trained meditation or mindfulness expert first and then continue on your own. NAMI, The Mayo Clinic, and howtomeditate.org all provide tips for learning how to meditate. Keeping a journal of your thoughts and experiences can help you in several ways. Writing down negative thoughts or anxieties may help you stop focusing on them. Keeping track of what triggers a particular experience or symptom will help your mental health provider give you the best care. It can also allow you to explore your emotions in a safe way. While diet and exercise cannot prevent mental illness, they can help you manage your symptoms. Maintaining a regular schedule and getting enough sleep are particularly important if you have a severe mental illness such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. You may need to be particularly mindful of your diet and exercise habits if you have an eating disorder such as anorexia,...

TL;DR in English: Avoid judging yourself. Establish a support network. Consider meditation or mindfulness training. Keep a journal. Maintain good diet and exercise habits. Limit your alcohol consumption.

You will need to have at least 3 people on each side of the court to play a traditional game of dodgeball. However, you may have as many players per side as you like. Make sure that all of the players are wearing rubber-soled shoes, such as sneakers, so that they do not slip on the court. There should be at least 1 ball available for players to throw, but the game will be even faster paced if you use multiple balls. Place the ball or balls on the center line.  If you are only using 1 ball, place it at the midpoint of the center line. If you are using 2 or more balls, spread them evenly along the center line. This is the maximum amount of time that a match can go on, so set a timer before you play the first game. Each game may only last for a minute or 2, but you may play multiple games to decide the overall winner of the match. Another option is to decide the winner based on the number of games won, such as the first team to win 3 games, or the team that wins the most out of 7 games. When you are ready to start the game, blow a whistle or shout “go!” and then allow the players to run towards the balls. Any player may grab a ball, but teams may want to choose their fastest player to rush for the ball if you are only playing with 1 ball. After the first player gets a ball in their hands, they should wait for 5 seconds before throwing it at someone. This is to ensure that the other players have an adequate chance to get to a ball as well. As the players rush for balls and aim them at the other team, try to dodge the opposing team’s balls. Move around the court to avoid getting hit. You may move to any part of the court to avoid getting hit as long as you stay inside your side of the court.  If you successfully dodge a ball, then you can pick it up and throw it at the other team. If the ball hits you, then you are out and must leave the court. If you catch a ball that someone throws at you, then the person who threw the ball is out. However, you must catch the ball before it hits you. Once you pick up a ball, you...

TL;DR in English: Gather 3 or more people per team. Arrange 1 or more balls at the center of the court. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Rush to the balls in the center of the court when play begins. Try to dodge balls that the other team throws at you. Throw balls at the other players to get them out. Win by tagging out all of the opposing team's players.

Any vehicles that are used by your business to deliver alcoholic beverages to customers' homes must follow your state's regulations for business vehicles.  Your drivers should have the appropriate registration, licensing, and insurance documents in their vehicles at all times when they are delivering alcoholic beverages for your business. Check with your state's licensing board regarding ownership of vehicles used to deliver alcohol. Some states must require drivers to use vehicles owned by the business rather than their personal vehicles. If your drivers are allowed to use their personal vehicles, find out if there are additional insurance requirements for people using their personal vehicles for business purposes, and make sure your drivers are aware of those requirements. For vehicles owned by your business, keep the required registration and insurance documents inside the car, and make sure all employees who drive the vehicle are listed on your insurance. Keep copies of vehicle registration and insurance documents with your business records. In many states, the alcohol control board that regulates the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages provides forms that can be used to legally record all delivery transactions.  If a form is available for you to use and record all required information, it may be a good idea to use it even if the regulations allow you to record your sales another way. By using the official form, you can be certain that you have all the information required. Since inspectors will be familiar with the form, they'll be able to easily read your records. If you have your own record-keeping system, for example if you keep all of your records as electronic files on a computer, you may want to design a form to incorporate into that system that mimics the format on the state's form. Even if a specific form is not required, most states do require you to keep detailed records of every delivery transaction, including the name and address of the customer.  The records you keep for home...

Apply a moisturizer. Apply a green or black tea compress to your sunburned skin. Take a baking soda bath. Apply vinegar to your sunburned skin. Apply whole milk to your sunburned skin. Apply mint leaves to your sunburned skin. Consume a balanced diet.

For men, body shape is based more on the length of your torso and your ability to gain muscle on your chest and shoulder area. There are five main body shapes for men:  The trapezoid body shape: You have broad shoulders and a broad chest with narrow waist and hips. Because your upper body and lower body will be pretty proportional, you can fit most styles and fits. The inverted trapezoid body shape: You have broad shoulders and chest, but your hips and waist are narrower. So your upper torso is much wider than your lower torso, and the lower half of your body. This body shape is common in athletes and men who regularly weight lift or do body building. The rectangle body shape: You have shoulders that are the same width as your waist and hips. So, when dressing, your aim should be to widen your shoulders and make your lower torso appear more narrow. The triangle body shape: Your chest and shoulders are narrower than your waist and hips, and you appear larger on the bottom half of your torso. So the lower half of your body may appear wider than your upper body. The oval body shape: Your chest and stomach will create a long oval shape. You may also have narrow looking shoulders and skinnier legs. Because you are well proportioned, you can experiment with the latest trends and cuts with a certain amount of freedom.  Try bold vertical or horizontal stripes on a collared shirt, a navy or cargo green cotton blazer, and long sleeve shirts in a bold print. Go for slim cut khakis or blue jeans. Look for tops and pants that are not too tight, but don’t hang off you or are too baggy. Your body shape suits form fitting clothes and cuts. The idea is to give your look some balance and proportion.  Try straight or relaxed slim cuts (rather than slim or skinny) for legwear as they will help balance your proportions and broad shoulders. Wear belts and go for pants with pockets. This will help to break up an outfit and draw attention to your narrow waist. Go for v-neck knits and tees as they will narrow your chest area. Breton...

TL;DR in English: Determine your body shape. Go for the newest trends, cuts, and colors if you are a trapezoid shape. Look for clothing that creates a balance between your top and bottom halves if you are an inverted trapezoid shape. Avoid structured jackets with shoulder padding or wide lapels if you are an inverted triangle shape. Layer shirts and knitwear if you are a rectangle shape. Avoid double breast suits or sleeveless tops if you are a rectangle shape. Wear well fitting clothing if you are a triangle shape. Avoid wearing horizontal stripes across your stomach area if you are a triangle shape. Go for vertical stripes and pinstripes if you are oval shaped. Add points of interest to your outfits with color or prints if you are oval shaped. Avoid cowl necks, wide crew necks, or polo necks if you are oval shaped.

To protect the space where you’re spraying, place the pieces on something you don’t mind getting paint on. Remember to always spray paint outside or in a well-ventilated area so you don’t inhale the fumes. For an easy way to coat hinges, knobs, and pulls, stick them in a thick piece of cardboard. Their screws will puncture the cardboard, so the hardware stands up without you having to hold it. If you don’t use primer, the spray paint will easily rub off of handles or knobs. Spray a thin coat over the entire piece of hardware. Let it dry, and then spray another coat if you feel it’s necessary.  Shake the primer thoroughly, for about 1 minute, before you start spraying. An oil-based primer is ideal for metal, as it prevents rust. Wait until the primer is completely dry before painting the hardware, for best results. If you can't remove the hardware, use a paintbrush to apply a standard oil-based primer instead. Hold the can about 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) from the hardware. Move it back and forth as you spray, so the paint doesn’t drip or clump up in one area. Wait for each coat to dry before you spray the next coat.  Shake the can for at least 1 full minute before you use it. Otherwise, you could get a bubbly texture. It should take each coat about 1 to 2 hours to dry enough for you to apply the next coat. If you get drips on your pieces, sand them off with a fine, 150 to 220 grit sandpaper when the coat has dried. For hardware that can't be removed, apply paint with a small paintbrush. The spray paint can should have instructions on how long the paint needs to dry. Keep in mind that high humidity and cool temperatures make paint dry slower. Try to set your hardware somewhere that’s dry and room temperature or warmer.  To prevent chips or smudges, you can spray a sealant over the paint, too. Wait until the paint is dry before you apply the sealant. Choose an enamel sealant, which is very durable and perfect for cabinets that are opened and closed often. Carefully screw the pulls or knobs back into the...

TL;DR in English: Set the hardware on a drop cloth or tarp outside. Spray 1 to 2 coats of oil-based primer and let it dry for at least 3 hours. Spray the hardware with 2 to 3 thin coats of paint. Let the paint dry for at least 6 hours. Reattach the newly painted hardware to the cabinets.

These bulbs contain mercury, which is toxic, so many places have laws against disposing of them in the trash. Check with your local garbage and recycling center to see if it is ok to dispose of fluorescents and CFLs in the trash.  In the US, the states of California, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Washington all prohibit throwing away fluorescents and CFLs.  Even if your country, state, or province does not have laws against disposing of fluorescent lights, your regional or town authorities may. Always check with your local center to get the most accurate laws for your area. If it is legal to throw away fluorescent lights and CFLs in your area, you can put them in the trash. Be sure to wrap them in their original packaging or a paper bag before disposing of them. CFLs and fluorescent lights can be recycled. In most areas, there are a number of options for dealing with these types of lights:  Check with your local waste authority to see if you have a nearby drop-off location. Check with the store where you purchased the bulbs. Large retailers such as IKEA and Home Depot often offer recycling for lights you purchased through them.  Check with your local waste authority or a website such as Earth911.com or RecycleABulb.com to see if they offer curbside pickup in your area or local drop-off areas. If you break a fluorescent tube or CFL while changing it, shut off any forced air or heat system that you have and allow the room to air out for ten minutes. Keep all people and pets out of the room for that time. Then, clean up the bulb and recycle or dispose of it:  Scoop up as much of the broken bulb and powder as possible using cardboard or stiff paper. Clean up any additional remains and small fragments with duct tape. Do not vacuum until all powder has been cleaned up. Seal the powder and glass in a sealable container such as a glass jar and dispose of it as appropriate through your local channels.

TL;DR in English: Check your local laws. Throw away fluorescents only if it is legal. Recycle your fluorescent lights if your area has proper facilities. Put broken bulbs in a sealable container.

Your parents will likely be very resistant to the idea of you moving out, so it’s important to approach the topic the right way. You will need to have open and honest communication with them in order to explain what you want and why you think they should agree.  Schedule a family meeting with your parents and let them know you have something important you want to talk to them about. Pick a quiet time when your parents are calm and ready to talk. Don’t just drop this conversation on them in the middle of a fight, holiday, or family trip. When you and your parents do sit down to have the talk, start by explaining to them that you're responsible and capable of living on your own. Tell them about all the things you’ve been doing lately to prepare yourself for living on your own, and explain to them how it’s made you realize that living on your own will be tough, but that you're ready.  Tell them about how work is going and how you're saving enough money. Show them the budget you created and the expenses you researched. Talk to them about how you’ve been managing school along with your extra responsibilities at work and around the house. Your parents are going to want to know why their baby wants to leave, and it’s best if you have an answer ready. Maybe you feel like you need more freedom, or maybe you’ve all been fighting a lot lately. Whatever the reason, be ready to answer openly and honestly. Part of being an adult is taking responsibility for your actions and owning up to your choices.  If there have been problems at home that are making you want to move out, maybe now is a good time to discuss them with your parents. It’s possible that you can come to an agreement so that you can get what you need and still live at home.  Another option to address family problems is counselling and mediation, which could help you and your parents work through some issues and reach compromises that allow you to keep living with them while still getting more freedom. Above all, your parents may want to know where you're going...

TL;DR in English: Plan the talk. Start the conversation. Explain why you want to move out. Be ready to answer questions and explain your plan. Prepare yourself for how they might react.

You could even try out wearing cologne, but be careful to not overdo it! 1 spritz of cologne at the base of your throat is enough. If you have acne, try developing a skincare routine. Wash your face every morning and at night before you go to bed. If it is really bad or doesn’t get better, visit a dermatologist to get medication to help clear up your skin.

Apply a moisturizer to the sunburned areas of your skin. There are specially designed moisturizers to for recently sunburned skin that are available in most drugstores. Avoid moisturizers that contain alcohols, petroleum, benzocaine, lidocaine, retinols, and AHAs (alpha hydroxyl acids), which can dry out and further irritate sensitive skin.  Apply the moisturizer throughout the day if possible, and immediately after bathing to ensure maximum moisturizer absorption.  Never use baby oil, coconut oil, petroleum products, or glycerin-based moisturizers on sunburns. They normally create a protective layer on your skin, but this can trap in the heat from a sunburn, making it worse. The tannic acids that occur naturally in tea are a great remedy for sun-damaged skin. Steep a pot of black tea and cool it in the refrigerator before applying it to your burned skin using a compress or spray bottle.  The tea will help reduce inflammation, decrease redness and promote healing. You can also try pressing the actual tea bags onto your skin rather than using a compress or spray bottle. A baking soda bath can help restore your skin’s pH balance and help soothe the burn irritation. Add about ¾ cup of baking soda to the bathwater, and soak for 15-20 minutes before rinsing your skin with clean water.  You can also add a heaping tablespoon of baking soda to a bowl of cool water, soak a washcloth in the mixture, and the use the wrung out washcloth as a compress to treat the tender, burned areas.  You will know that you’re adequately hydrated when your urine color runs pale yellow. Pour  white or apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle, and mist the vinegar onto your sunburn. The vinegar can help to prevent unsightly blisters and prevent peeling. If the smell is too offensive, you can mix a solution of 1 part water and 1 part vinegar, and spray that into your skin instead. Soak a washcloth in cold whole milk, and wring out the excess milk. Then apply the washcloth to the sunburned area of skin and leave the cloth on your skin for 10...
