Fold over and pin the edges of the bikini bottom. Sew the folded edges together. Fold the hourglass shape in half, hamburger-style, so that the outside of the bottom is facing inward. Sew the two sides together.

Make sure any price stickers or tags have been fully removed so there is no interference while cleaning. You may need to stretch the sock mouth to fit over the base so stretch and mold as needed. If the sock becomes filled with debris and is no longer working as well, head to the trash and wipe your hand over the bottom to remove abundant hair or debris.  Continue to use until finished. Avoid using fabric softener when washing the sock as fabric softener may reduce the chenille material power. Consider removing excess debris from sock before adding it to the washing machine.

TL;DR in English: Open sock package and remove tags, etc. Slide one sock over the base of your Swiffer sweeper. Use Swiffer as usual, covering floor space and corners. Remove sock from Swiffer base and launder as usual.

If you tell the person what's going on, chances are they're not going to come. In order to make sure the person shows up, it's necessary to omit the information that his or her family and friends are staging the intervention. Come up with a plan for having the person go to the meeting spot without being clued in to what's going on. For example, you could tell the person to come to your house for dinner, or meet at a friend's house to hang out.  Make sure the plan doesn't seem contrived. Ask the person to do something that's not out of the ordinary. Everyone should already be gathered in the space by the time the person gets there. When the person arrives, state that it’s an intervention and tell the person that everyone has something they want to say. Following the rehearsed format for the meeting, everyone should go around and read his or her prepared statement. If a professional interventionist is involved, he or she can act as the leader of the meeting and call on people to speak. Give each family member or friend the chance to say how the person’s actions have personally affected their lives, and how much they love the person and want things to get better.  Yelling or acting angry and confrontational is not advised. The person you're trying to help might just get up and walk away if this takes place. People should keep these feelings to themselves for the sake of having a successful intervention. That said, it's fine to express some amount of emotion. Expressing sadness and hope that things will get better could help move the person to action. It's OK to cry. Avoid trying to lighten the mood or otherwise derail the serious discussion taking place. After everyone has spoken, the leader of the group (or the interventionist) should present the treatment the treatment plan to the person. Make it clear that the treatment plan has been thoroughly researched and recommended by experts, and say that everyone believes it's the person's best bet for getting better. Ask the person to make an immediate decision to...

TL;DR in English: Invite the person to the meeting without telling them what it is. Have each member speak. Present the treatment plan. End the meeting with concrete next steps.

Depending on your age and abilities, you may not be able to cook a big fancy dinner for your family, but you may be able to whip up a simple lunch for your siblings. She probably has suggestions for things you could do for her. Keep in mind that you are "helping" the whole family, yourself included. Your mom will appreciate your help but it isn't just her job to keep the household running smoothly; it's the responsibility of each person in the household, right down to very basic chores for the toddlers.

TL;DR in English: Figure out what tasks you could do that your mother usually takes care of. Ask your mom what she could use help with.

Although total quiet works best for some people while sleeping, vivid dreamers often report having the best dreams while listening to music. The music should be ambient. That way, your higher order brain functions won't be so distracted by what's happening in the music. There are certain musical works that are specifically intended for sleep and lucid dreaming. Robert Rich's six hour Somnium is a good piece of ambient music for dreaming. Max Richter's eight hour-long Sleep is another piece that may improve the vividness of the dreams you have while listening to it. Dreaming takes place during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage of sleep. Most sleep cycles are similar, and you may be able to predict at what point you'll be at this stage. Try setting your alarm clock to go off 4.5, 6, or 7.5 hours after you go to sleep. This will rouse you awake at a point where the dream is either happening or still fresh in your mind.  Some people find the annoying sound of an alarm distracts them from remembering. If you aren't having luck with an alarm, try waking up without an alarm.  If you'll be sleeping around someone who will be awake during one of your REM stages (such as a roommate), you could ask that they wake you up instead of an alarm. Light-based alarms will wake you up with light rather than sound. This is generally a gentler way to wake up, and may make it easier to recall your dreams. Dreams become far more vivid when you allow yourself to focus in on details in the dream. Without reining in on details, the memory of the dream becomes clouded, and large chunks of information are lost. If you're in a room with a clock for example, try to look in on the clock and check the time. Many people actually report specific times on a clock being jumbled and unclear. Even if this doesn't give you a clear bit of info, the experience of seeing something off-beat like this will help you to become more lucid. Even if you aren't able to actively recall this step while you're dreaming, thinking about doing it a lot while...

TL;DR in English: Listen to music while sleeping. Set your alarm to wake you up during REM. Pay attention to details. Identify your personal dream signs. Remind yourself you're dreaming.

One good way is to go to a fair where there are rabbits and contact the owners which are usually listed on the show cases.  3 to 4 litters of 5 to 10 young can be thrown by a healthy, mature female (doe) each year. One male (buck) can service up to twenty to thirty does, but in order to keep the gene pool healthy, you should have one buck for each 5 does.  Make sure you keep records of which does are bred by which bucks, and keep rotating the animals to keep the gene pool as large as possible. The best meat breeds are California and New Zealand or a combination of the two. Most consider the Flemish Giant unsuitable for a meat rabbit, due to the meat to bone ratio, also the amount of food consumed to meat ratio. It is okay to cross with a New Zealand for meat production. The pen should be a minimum of 5 feet (1.5 m) by 6 feet (1.8 m) for this large breed, but slightly smaller for the smaller breeds. Rabbits need space!  The floor should be made of a sturdy wire mesh with about 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) square holes to accommodate droppings and urine.  Do give the rabbit someplace else to stand, however.  Standing on wire full time can hurt a rabbit's feet.  A full tray or box the full size of the floor of the pen with all four sides about 2 1⁄2 inches (6.4 cm) high should be slid under the pen to catch the animal waste.  This tray should be emptied once per week and rinsed with a disinfectant.  Be careful when using bleach, as it will react with the urine and give off a harmful gas! A solid compartment about 1 1⁄2 feet (0.5 m) long and 1 1⁄2 feet (0.5 m) wide should be included in the pen to give the doe privacy while she is having her young.  this will keep mortality of the young down to a great extent.  Be sure there is plenty of dried hay in the pen when she is "due". There is no set estrous period.  The young should be separated from the mother at about 6 weeks. The doe is ready for breeding immediately after separation from her young. The rabbit pregnancy period is 28-30 days, with the doe able to mate within...

TL;DR in English: Rabbit breeding stock can be obtained from many different sources. Get the right pen. Know that female rabbits will conceive at any time they have an "encounter" with a buck. The pen should be furnished with clean water each day. Feed a good quality hay. Hay should be contained in a lattice manger, or rick to keep it from being contaminated by the animal's waste. Another feeding option can be to use calf manna along with rabbit pellets, or "rabbit food".

Go all the way around the bikini bottom and fold in by a half-inch (1.7 cm) or inch (2.5 cm).  Pin into place. Because the bikini bottom isn't a huge garment, you can sew it by hand in a reasonable amount of time, if you want to.  However, for a straighter and swifter stitch, use a sewing machine.  Remove the pins as you go. That is, you should be able to see the folds and seams you just did. Where the bikini bottom would sit around your waist, sew the two sides above the leg holes together.  Turn the garment inside out and try it on to check the fit.

TL;DR in English:


Be wary if they seem to get too serious too soon.

Divide phlox while it still looks healthy. The most common mistake home gardeners make when growing phlox is waiting until the plant shows signs of failing or over-crowding before they divide it. As a rule of thumb, allow the diameter of the plant cluster to grow to the same width as the plant's height before dividing it. Divide the phlox sooner if the plant becomes over-crowded, or if the center of the plant fails to bloom and produces less foliage. Divide phlox in early spring, late summer or early fall. Phlox division is most successful when done in the early spring before new growth begins, or in the late summer or early fall when flowering is done. If you want to leave a piece of the plant in its original location, you can plant 1 of the divisions back into the original spot later.  Dig a trench around the outside of the entire plant cluster, severing the plant's roots with the blade of your garden shovel as you go. Chop the roots under the plant by circling back around the trench again with your shovel. Push the shovel blade into the ground, angling it to reach under the plant's root base. Push down on the handle to lift the roots. Continue around the phlox until the cluster lifts from the ground. This gives you a better look at the roots and plant crowns. The crowns are visible at the top of the root base. Make sure each new division has at least 1 or 2 healthy plant crowns and an ample root base to sustain the plant.  There are several ways to divide the cluster:  Break pieces off from the outside of the cluster using your fingers to separate the roots and your hands to snap the plant crowns apart. Keep breaking divisions off until the entire plant has been divided. Use a serrated kitchen knife to cut sections off the cluster you are unable to divide the plant by hand.

TL;DR in English: Determine when to divide phlox. Remove the entire cluster of phlox from the ground. Wash the soil from the roots with a garden hose. Make multiple small divisions from the cluster. Cut the cluster into 2 to 4 smaller clusters by chopping it with the garden shovel.

Pull the "bottom" of the triangle part of the hanger away from the hook like a bow and arrow. You should now have something roughly square-shaped. If you're having difficulty bending the wire, try using a pair of pliers to get a better grip. If you have a vice, you can also grab one part of the hanger in the vice and pull the other side. Pull them as tight as possible to get a flat, drum-like surface. Gather the extra slack around the hanger's hook. Use tape or rubber band to hold the slack and keep the stretched portion tight. You want it about an inch or two away from the mic. It should not be touching it. It should sit between your mouth and the mic when you're recording. There's no "right" way to do this — anything you can do to get the new filter to stay in front of the mic is fair game. A few ideas are below!  If you like, you can straighten out the hanger's hook and bend it into a wide curve, then tape the end to a spot on the mic stand behind the mic. Bend the wire as needed to get the screen in exactly the right spot. Use a clamp to hold the filter to the mic stand. You can get small, cheap clamps from most hardware stores for just a few dollars. Tape the filter to a second mic stand and position this in front of the first. Keep in mind that some mics are designed to take in sound from the top, while others are designed to take in sound from the front. You want the filter directly in front of the recording surface of the mic. Now, you're ready to record. Turn on your recording equipment and stand or sit so that the filter is between you and the mic. Your mouth should be a few inches from the filter. Break a leg! Listen to the way your "P," "B," "S," and "Ch" sounds come out on your recording. You shouldn't hear any "clipping" with these sounds as long as your volume levels are configured correctly. By contrast, not using a pop filter can leave your recording riddled with distortion. Click here for a good, semi-technical guide to clipping (and how to avoid it!)

TL;DR in English: Bend a wire coat hanger into a circle. Keep pulling on the flat sides to make something more circular — it doesn't have to be perfect. Pull a pair of tights or pantyhose over the circle. Position the filter right in front of the mic. Sing or talk through the filter into the mic.

This mission is for Bonnie Clyde, and unlocks the first level of Dead Eye. You won't be able to use it at all until you complete this mission. Using Dead Eye drains the meter on the right side of the map. You can fill your meter by killing enemies or using certain items. Getting headshots on enemies will fill your meter faster. The meter doesn't need to be full to use Dead Eye, but you'll have less time available. You can use the following items to fill your meter:  Snake Oil Chewing Tobacco Moonshine (Gives unlimited meter for 10 seconds) Tonic (Made from harvesting plants after completing Legendary rank on the Survivalist challenges) Dead Eye is best used with a firearm, preferably one with several bullets. You can use Dead Eye with throwing weapons like the Throwing Knife, but you can only throw one per Dead Eye use. You cannot use throwing weapons and Dead Eye in multiplayer. You'll need to be aiming in order to trigger Dead Eye mode. Hold L2 or LT to aim your gun. You won't recover any of the meter you used. For the first level of Dead Eye mode, time will slow and you'll be able to line up and fire off shots. Press R2 or RT to fire shots while in Dead Eye mode. You can only shoot one bullet at a time using Dead Eye Level 1

TL;DR in English: Complete at least the second mission, "New Friends, Old Problems." Fill your Dead Eye meter. Equip a gun. Hold the Aim button to enter Aiming mode. Press R3 or RS again to cancel Dead Eye mode. Press the trigger to fire while in Dead Eye mode.

You need at least some higher education to become a mortician. You need at least an associate's degree in mortuary sciences to become a mortician, but you can also find mortuary sciences programs in four year colleges. You can attend a regular college, but you can also get a degree from a specialized mortuary school.  Think about how long you want to spend getting your degree. You can get a degree in two years and move on to an apprenticeship program then. If you're looking for a quick path to becoming a mortician, this may be the right choice. You may also want to look into a specialized mortuary school, as having a specific education may give you a better chance of landing an apprenticeship. However, how certain are you in your career path? You can also attend a four year college, where you can study subjects other than mortuary sciences. This way, if you decide you'd rather do something else as a career, you have the option to change majors or explore career paths. A traditional four year school may be the right choice for you if you have any misgivings about becoming a mortician. Once you've decided on the right track for yourself, start applying for your chosen program. Programs will require different materials for the application, so read application requirements carefully to make sure you get into a quality program.  You usually need a copy of your high school transcripts, which you can get from your counselor. You also may need test scores, such as SAT or ACT scores. Letters of recommendation may also be important. Talk to old high school teachers or anyone you worked with in the past, especially jobs related to mortuary studies. If you worked in a funeral home, for example, you may want to ask your boss there for a letter of recommendation. After gathering materials, you can complete the application process for the program you chose. You'll usually have to fill out a basic application, that includes things like your name, address, and so on. You'll also want to make sure you follow all protocol for...

TL;DR in English: Consider what kind of higher education you want. Gather the materials necessary to apply to a higher education program. Complete the application process. Complete your chosen higher education program. Look for internships during your time at school. Ask your school counselor about apprenticeship programs.

Try to eat fish twice a week or look for daily a supplement containing 0.3 and 0.5 grams of EPA and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids can protect your heart muscle by reducing inflammation in the body. They may also reduce your triglyceride levels, blood pressure, blood clotting time, and irregular heartbeats. While you can purchase omega-3 fatty acid supplements in liquid gel cap form, there are many fish that are high in omega-3s. Opt for wild-caught fish and avoid farm-raised fish which are high in antibiotics, pesticides and other chemicals harmful to your health. Fish high in omega-3s include:  Salmon Lake trout Herring Sardines Tuna Nuts contain omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, vitamin E, plant sterols, and arginine, an amino acid that can help relax blood vessels and reduce blood pressure. All of these can protect the heart and the FDA says that eating 1 ounce of some nuts daily can reduce your risk of heart disease. Fiber and plant sterols help lower your cholesterol, make you feel full on less, and may reduce your risk of diabetes, while vitamin E can prevent plaque buildup in the arteries. Try adding just a handful of walnuts or almonds to your meals. Eat either 1.5 ounces of nuts or 2 tablespoons of nut butter to get the health benefits. Since nuts are high in calories, eat small amounts of them and stop eating chips or soda to balance out the extra calories. Try to eat 100 grams or around a cup of berries a day. Berries, like strawberries and blueberries, are high in phytonutrients that help to protect the heart. Studies show that eating berries every day can improve platelet function and "good" HDL cholesterol while reducing blood pressure. Each of these changes help to protect the heart from cardiovascular disease and improve heart function. Berries are also high in antioxidants known as polyphenols. Polyphenols are naturally found in plants and research suggests that they protect the body against cancers and cardiovascular diseases. You can also eat dark chocolate, tea, and red wine, which are also high in...

TL;DR in English: Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Add nuts to your diet. Eat more berries. Consume colorful vegetables. Eat more avocado. Consume foods high in resveratrol. Avoid eating foods that contain trans-fatty acids.

If you are out of shape, have back problems, or heart conditions, it may actually be dangerous for you to shovel snow. After a snowfall, hospitals are inundated with heart attack victims and patients with wrenched backs. Hire a local teen, borrow a snow blower from a neighbor, or contact a professional snow and ice removal service instead. You need to dress warmly, but not so warmly that you are sweating heavily after several minutes of work. Dress in light layers that are easy to remove and do not restrict your movement. Thermal underwear is a great option for keeping you warm while you work in the snow.  Be sure to remove clothing as you heat up while shoveling, as sweat can turn clammy on your skin and actually make you colder. Your skin should remain warm (not hot) and dry. Wear gloves that will prevent blisters and keep your hands warm and dry. You can also wear hand and foot warmers (like Hot Hands or Yaktrax Handwarmers/Footwarmers) in your gloves and shoes to prevent your hands and feet from getting too cold. You lose a large amount of body heat through your head. Wear a hat and earmuffs to retain that body heat and keep yourself warm. If it is very cold you may consider breathing through a scarf but be careful that it does not obstruct your view. A cold-weather face mask is also a good option. Warm muscles will be more efficient and less likely to get injured. Focus on stretching your extremities (arms and legs) and back in particular. Some areas can be uneven and cause you to trip, slip or fall, causing injury. Before shoveling snow, spread sand or salt on any particularly slippery locations where you might have to stand while shoveling snow. This will create foot traction and reduce the risk of injury. Remind yourself to keep good posture and maintain the natural curve of your spine. Keep your back straight as you change between the squatting and upright positions. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart for balance and bend at the knees rather than at the waist or back. Keep the shovel close to...

TL;DR in English: Consider any health risks. Dress appropriately. Stretch. Spread sand or salt on slippery ground. Maintain good posture. Lift correctly. Find the right place to put the snow. Complete areas with deep snow in parts. Take frequent breaks and drink plenty of water. If you feel any pain of any kind, stop immediately and seek medical attention or assistance. Have a cup of hot chocolate. Stretch again.

You can further boost your fiber intake with supplements. Add the package-recommended dose of fiber powder with water and drink the mixture. This can bulk up your stools and help maintain regularity. Follow dosing instructions for fiber. Getting too little fiber can cause irregularity, but so can consuming too much. Physical activity can get your blood flowing and stimulate your intestines. Aim for at least 30 minutes of light physical activity most days. Recognize that 15 minutes of exercise can stimulate your bowels. This can help ease fecal material into your bowels and keep you regular. Try some of the following types of physical activity to stay regular:  Running Walking Biking Swimming Yoga It may difficult to move your bowels by sitting on the toilet. This is because sitting forces your anus into a straight position, which isn't conducive  to pooping. Squat down on to your toilet by placing your feet hip distance apart and bringing your knees close to your torso. to keep your anorectal angle in its natural position. This can help you more easily and regularly evacuate your bowels. Consider getting a foot stool on which to rest your feet while squatting. This can help you get your knees closer to your torso. Waiting to poop or resisting the urge to go can cause constipation. Get to a bathroom as soon as you can if you feel the urge to move your bowels. This can prevent constipation and keep you regular. Put yourself on a schedule if possible. For example, try having a bowel movement every morning. Your body will gradually adjust to the schedule and may respond by staying regular. Some people use natural oils, laxatives and enemas to stay regular. Use these only as necessary because they can cause chronic constipation. They may also injure the muscles of your colon and anus and create laxative dependence. Ask your doctor if laxative use is appropriate and safe to keep you regular.

TL;DR in English: Consider fiber supplements. Move your body. Squat on the toilet. Avoid suppressing the urge move your bowels. Use caution with laxatives.

In most instances, sleeping pills are safest and most effective when used "as needed" due to specific circumstances. If, for instance, you have traveled across multiple time zones or are recovering from a painful medical procedure, using a sleep aid for a night or two may be worthwhile. Unless under the direct guidance of a physician, do not use sleeping pills on a nightly or even consistent basis.  If you consistently have trouble falling or staying asleep at night, especially when there are no extenuating circumstances (a sick child, a big meeting the next day, etc.), you should contact your doctor for a checkup. If you have a history of diagnosed sleep disorders, depression, or substance abuse, definitely contact your doctor before using a sleep aid. They can have a powerful impact on the body and can be quite addictive. While you will be required to seek your physician’s recommendation in order to use a prescription sleep medication, it is good practice to consult her before using any type of sleep aid. At very least, you should consult your pharmacist about possible interactions between your chosen prescription, over-the-counter (OTC), or herbal remedy and other medications you take. Remember, sleep aids of any type are essentially a temporary “band-aid” that can mask a range of conditions that may be causing your sleeplessness, without doing anything to help these underlying issues. Such underlying conditions can range from depression to sleep apnea, and it is therefore wise to discuss your persistent sleeplessness with your doctor. Whether you’re dealing with sleeping pills, heart pills, cold pills, or any other kind of pill, it is essential that you fully understand and follow the dosing instructions provided by your doctor and/or the medication package. For your health and safety, you need to take the right dose at the right time, every time. Don't take a sleeping pill your friend hands you out of her purse because it works for her. You will not have the necessary information to determine if that...

TL;DR in English: Know when a sleeping pill may be warranted. Talk to your doctor about sleep aid options. Follow all instructions carefully. Don't quit a sleeping pill "cold turkey" if you've been taking it regularly. Recognize possible side effects. Pick the right night to start. Use sleeping medications only as needed, but also as recommended.

An H. Pylori infection can cause peptic ulcers in your stomach and lower intestine. As H. Pylori rarely causes symptoms in and of itself, a peptic ulcer can alert you to a potential infection. If you have a peptic ulcer, you may display some of the following symptoms:  You may have a dull pain in your stomach that does not go away. Pain will usually come two to three hours after eating. The pain will come and go for several weeks, and may sometimes happen in the middle of the night when your stomach is empty. The pain may go away temporarily when you take medications like antacids and other over-the-counter pain medications. You may experience nausea if you have an H. Pylori infection. Pay attention to your body and notice of any nausea you experience.  You may vomit when you experience nausea. With an H. Pylori infection, your vomit may include blood. You may also notice a substance that resembles coffee grounds. Nausea can be caused by a wide variety of factors, such as motion sickness, the flu, eating or drinking something that did not sit well with you, or morning sickness during pregnancy. If your nausea is persistent, and you do not have any obvious cause, it may be related to an H. Pylori infection. A loss of appetite can also be a symptom of an H. Pylori infection. You may not be interested in food or eating. This may come in conjunction with the feelings of nausea and indigestion associated with the disease. If you're having a loss of appetite, which is accompanied by unexplained weight loss, you may want to talk to a doctor. Loss of appetite is a common symptom of many diseases, including some cancers. See your doctor to rule out any serious conditions if you're experiencing a loss of appetite. You may experience some odd changes in your body when you have an H. Pylori infection. Take note of any sudden changes and see a doctor for evaluation.  It's not uncommon for the abdomen to be bloated slightly during an H. Pylori infection. You may also notice your stools have become increasingly black and...

TL;DR in English: Watch for dull pain in your stomach that does not go away. Pay attention to prolonged nausea. Consider your appetite. Watch out for unusual changes in your body. Assess your risk factors. Seek immediate medical attention if symptoms get worse quickly.

Daily journaling can allow you to consider your deepest desires, darkest secrets, and outlook on life. Get to know yourself better by writing your thoughts down every day. Set a timer for 15 minutes, and make sure that you write throughout the entire period. Your journal will be a valuable tool to allow you to develop insight into your current self as well as how you develop over the course of many years. If you find that you have writer's block, consider using a journaling prompt such as:  What is the most interesting thing that happened to me today? What did I daydream about? What topics make me uncomfortable to write about? Who are the 10 people I care about the most? Our memories often take the shape of a narrative or story, in much the same way that memoirs and autobiographies do. Articulating this life story can allow you to process these memories and make sense out of a great deal of chaotic information. Take a few minutes to think about how you might tell the story of your own life. What memories are the most significant? What life events have shaped the person you are today? What arc has your life taken? Simply thinking about your life story or talking about it with friends is beneficial. However, you might also consider more formal ways to communicate your life story, such as through:   A memoir or autobiography A photo album A short film A graphic novel Your appearance is one of the first ways that you communicate yourself to others. At the same time, your appearance also allows you to gain a better handle on yourself. Indeed, many introspective, reflective people take some time to consider how their self-presentation is related to their values, likes, and tastes. Consider experimenting with how you look in order to understand your own tastes and, by extension, your own life. You can:  Wear a color you've never worn before Experiment with a new hairstyle  Consider getting a tattoo or piercing Try to find a fashion or accessory designer you admire Remember to take standards of professionalism into...

TL;DR in English: Keep a journal. Tell your life story. Experiment with your appearance. Learn an art form.

Collect all the materials you will need to construct and design your sketchbook:  20-30 sheets of drawing paper – Size A4 works well or even 9”x12” or 11”x14”. Patterned paper – This paper is for decorating the outside cover of your sketchbook. Depending on how you want to decorate you can use 3 different patterns for the cover of the sketchbook, the spine, and the interior of the sketchbook covers (endpaper). Cardboard – To make the covers of the sketchbook. Consider using thick paperboard rather than corrugated cardboard; it’ rather feeble.  Glue – White school glue works just fine for painting the materials. Needle and thread – Using a thicker needle is advised, as well as thicker thread, such as string, yarn, or hemp.  Ruler An awl or pushpin Pencil Small paintbrush or sponge brush

TL;DR in English:


Start at the ball of the foot. Wrap the top of the foot. Wrap the ankle. Repeat the figure 8. Fasten the bandage.

You need to take care of this problem right away. Don’t put it out of your mind because you’re really embarrassed. You could be risking your health.  Remember this is something that has happened to many, many people.  You should never leave a tampon in for 8 hours or more as you could get Toxic Shock Syndrome. Although treatable, it can be fatal. However, if you’ve had the tampon in for a very short time (like an hour or so), you might want to wait a bit longer and try to remove it again because dry tampons get stuck more easily, and your menstrual flow may help you remove it.  Try to remove it yourself first – it should be fairly easy to do this – but if that doesn’t work, you will have to call your doctor right away. It can't be said enough - leaving tampons in for too long is very, very dangerous. If you’re tense, you will actually make it worse. Are you sure there is really a tampon inside you or have you just forgotten you took it out? If you're sure it's inside you, remember: It’s not really “stuck." It’s just that the muscles of the vagina will hold it in place until you remove it.   Don’t freak out. The vagina is a relatively small closed area, and it’s not going to be lost up there forever. This is something that has happened to many, many women, so there is no reason to panic. You might want to take a warm shower or warm bath to help you relax before you try to remove it. Take some deep breaths too.  If you are too tense, you will clench the muscles, making the tampon harder to remove. You’re going to want clean hands to remove a stuck tampon because you don’t want to introduce germs into the vaginal cavity. Proper hygiene will prevent infection, further complications, and problems.  You might also want to clip your nails because you will need to insert your fingers into your vagina to get the tampon. You want to make the process as painless as possible. Find a private space (probably the bathroom is best for hygienic reasons). Take off your lower clothing. It will make it easier to remove the tampon.

TL;DR in English: Act fast. Relax. Clean your hands.

Some progesterone creams are available over the counter, while others require a prescription from your doctor. You should ask your pharmacist about different options, and ask for details about the differences. When applying anything to your skin, make sure to read the ingredients and make sure that you do not have any known allergies. If you decide to go with an over the counter option, you might want to try your local natural health store. Homeopathic remedies can be very successful, and you can ask the staff at a small store any questions you may have. You might receive more personalized advice than at a large chain store. While generally considered safe, progesterone can cause some unwanted side effects. Some users have reported issues such as upset stomachs and weight gain. Others have noticed depression-like or PMS-like symptoms. Remember, this cream contains hormones, so it will affect you physically. Before you start using progesterone cream, discuss your options with your doctor. Explain your concerns, and what you hope to gain from using the cream. Ask all of the questions that you have, and gain a clear understanding of what the cream can do for you.

TL;DR in English: Research different creams. Shop around. Know the possible effects. Talk to your doctor.

First, thank the representative for taking the time to look into your case, as this will immediately set a tone of courtesy in your conversation. Be sure to reply to any response human resources sends quickly. This will indicate that you remain concerned about the problem, and it should also communicate your desire to address it sooner rather than later. Prepare yourself for the meeting by creating a special file folder containing any documents you plan to bring. If you have a policy question, bring the employee handbook with the specific policies bookmarked. This will help the meeting run smoothly once you arrive. If you’re worried about protecting yourself from any actions the company may take against you, talk to a lawyer. They can provide you with information about your rights, and you may decide to bring them to any in-person meetings. You might want to inform human resources of your plans to employ a lawyer if you choose to go this route. Be sure you’re aware of the costs associated with hiring a lawyer. Most will be costly, so you’ll need to weigh these budgetary concerns with your need for legal protection. A week is generally considered an appropriate amount of time to wait before sending a follow-up email. If you’re dealing with an especially urgent problem, you can send a follow-up after 24 hours. Rather than worrying that you’re nagging your representative, remember that they have many responsibilities. They may need a reminder that you’re one of them.

TL;DR in English: Thank human resources for any response they send. Organize any necessary materials for your in-person meeting. Consider hiring legal counsel if you’re bringing up legal issues. Email a second time if you’ve waited a week with no response.

There are some tiles, like bombs or chocolate, which should always be eliminated first if they exist on the board. These will inhibit your progress or cause you to lose. Bombs end the game if not eliminated in the move limit specified on their face, while chocolate will multiply if not destroyed. Like chess, you'll need to think several moves ahead in Candy Crush Saga. Unless the level is timed, spend a few minutes looking for potential combinations and considering the results of making certain matches. This may take a while at first, but the more you play, the quicker you'll recognize patterns and opportunities. You will have many levels where the game board is not a perfect rectangle, or includes a number of gaps in the board. You will need to plan around these gaps, and they can make it incredibly difficult to make paired sets. Once you become better acquainted with the game, you will be able to tell when a game board will be too difficult to complete. You can reshuffle the board using boosters or by exiting the game before you perform any moves. The game will make move suggestions if you idle for too long. These suggestions are random and it will usually be in your best interest to ignore them. If you don’t have a time limit, take the time to find out if there is a better move available. If you are only trying to increase points before a time limit runs out, take the game’s suggestion.

TL;DR in English: Eliminate complicated or dangerous candies from the board first. Look at the whole board before making a move. Pay attention to the edges of the game board. Reshuffle the board if it looks too challenging. Ignore the suggestions the game makes.

When the whitefish steaks are well drained, transfer them to a serving platter or plate. Handle the fish carefully when moving them to the plate to ensure that they don’t break. To keep the boiled fish warm, it helps to warm the platter before you place the steaks on it. You can warm an oven- or microwave-safe plate in the respective appliance to warm it, or simply run the platter under hot water to warm it up. Once you’ve set the fish on the platter, transfer the potatoes and onions from the pot to the platter with the slotted spoon. Arrange them so they’re surrounding the fish, and then garnish with 2 tablespoons (30 g) of fresh flat-leaf parsley that’s been finely chopped. You should also season the entire platter with plenty of freshly ground black pepper to taste. When you bring the boiled fish to the table, have ¼ pound (113) melted, unsalted butter on hand to pour over it. Make sure to have at least 4 lemon wedges as well for guests to squeeze over the fish.

TL;DR in English: Remove the fish from the pot and put on a platter. Place the vegetables around the fish and garnish with herbs. Serve the fish with melted butter and lemons.

Hold one end of the ace bandage against the ball of the foot, with the tail of the bandage extending past the outside of the foot, rather than the inside. Keep the tail rolled so that you can unroll it as you go, rather than dealing with an unwieldy long piece as you're trying to wrap.  For extra support, you can place a gauze pad on either side of the ankle before wrapping. Horseshoe-shaped padding cut from foam or felt is also used for extra stability in compression wraps. Use one hand to hold the end of the bandage against the ball of the foot. Bring the bandage over the foot, from outside to inside, then under the foot for a second wrap. Wrap the foot a total of three times, overlapping each wrap by half.  Use the same tension for each loop of the wrap. It should be firm, but not too tight. Each loop of the wrap should be lined up evenly, rather than going in different directions. Start over if you need to do the job more neatly. After the third wrap, bring the bandage over the top of the foot, around the inside of the ankle, behind the ankle to the other side, and back over the instep and under the foot. The bandage should be woven over the foot and ankle in a figure 8, with the heel exposed. Make two more figure 8s, each time overlapping the bandage by half. When you're finished, the bandage should cover the entire foot and extend up past the ankle.  Smaller feet and legs may not require three full figure 8s with a full-sized ace bandage. Use your judgement to decide whether the wrap looks stable after 2 figure 8s. Ask the person how the wrap feels after you're finished winding the bandage. If he or she complains that it's too tight, start over. Stretch the last segment of the bandage a bit and use the small metal prongs or velcro adhesive to secure the end of the bandage in place. Make sure the wrapping job is free of unnecessary lumps or bulges; it should be comfortable and neat.  Remove the bandage if the toes on the foot turn white or feel numb or tingly. The bandage may be worn for a number of...

Your conflict with an intolerable person likely arises from a difference of opinion or intolerance help you avoid situations where you're likely to encounter the person's offending behaviors. Acknowledge that the other person clashes with you. This can help you move on from any situation in which you may encounter the person and not get irritated when you do see her. No matter how insufferable the person is, always remain polite and professional. Not only can disengaging keep a bad situation from escalating but will also cast you in a much more positive light.  Always be polite to others, even if they aren't to you. The truism “you win more bees with honey than vinegar” is something you can apply to any aspect of your life and relationships with other people. Leaving a bad impression on colleagues or friends because you lost your cool can have lasting consequences for you.  Remember to extend civility because the person may be going through something about which you have no idea. This doesn't legitimate bad behavior on their part, but it also doesn't mean you have to rise to their aggression.  You can't control all situations or people, but you can choose how you'll respond to them. Meeting the person with positivity will keep your attitude positive and may also result in a positive resolution to anything.  For example, if someone sends you a nasty email, don't react to it immediately. Draft a response and wait 24 hours to send it. Revisit the email the next day and you will likely tone down your response, which can keep a situation from escalating. If something bad happens, such as losing your job, thank your employer for the opportunity and say “this is a change to find something better that I truly love.” Taking this tactic can also let the other person think they're in control of the situation, which you may need to do to avoid her further. If you are constantly exposed to the intolerable person, it can have significant impact on your attitude. Limiting or stopping contact with the person can help...

TL;DR in English: Determine the source of your conflict. Accept the difference and move on. Stay polite and professional. Limit contact with the person. Get mediation from an independent person.

Written language is the best system humans have ever devised for transmitting knowledge. Naturally, your teachers will want you to show what you’ve learned. In English and Social Studies classes, you do most of your learning by reading—so these are the most common classes to read aloud in. However, you can be asked to read something for the class in any subject, even gym. Try to accept this, and prepare for it instead of dreading it. The best way to look prepared is to be prepared. If you’ve read a passage even once, you’ll have a much better grasp of it than someone who’s never looked at it before. Better yet, read the passage through twice, reading quietly to yourself the second time, if you think you might be called on soon.   Take good notes. You’ll retain information even better once you’ve written it down. Look up unfamiliar words. If you’re reading out loud and get stuck on a big word you didn’t know before, it can break your flow and mess up your confidence.  Similarly, use a pronunciation guide or look up the pronunciation online if you’re unsure how to say a word. If you have extra time one day, bring your textbook to the nearest reflective surface and read out loud to yourself. You’ll be able to check your own posture, and even practice looking up to make eye contact with yourself. If you have a study buddy, take turns reading important passages to one another. Take breaks to offer constructive feedback. Does your friend not know what to look for? Check in with these questions:  Was your voice clear enough? Is it the right volume? Did it sound timid or confident? Does your body language help you seem more prepared? Are you slouching or standing tall? Were there any glaring mistakes (like skipped lines or extremely mispronounced words)? Reading out loud can be stressful, and you probably want to do a good job. Still, no one expects you to sound like you’re part of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Don’t sweat it if you don’t sound flawless. Just do your best.

TL;DR in English: Know you’ll be called upon to read aloud at some point. Do your reading before class. Practice in the mirror. Practice with a friend. Don’t expect perfection.

When watching TV in HD, you should notice a significant improvement in color, clarity, and detail. Try flipping between SD and HD channels or sources and see if you can tell the difference. If the image doesn’t look pristine compared to SD, then you are likely not watching in HD.  Live studio broadcasts and sporting events in HD are excellent sources to compare to SD channels. Facial hair, individual blades of grass in golf or baseball, and other images that appear to be 3-dimensional or photo quality are typical examples of HD images. SD images by comparison could be described as a little blurry or fuzzy. Resolution is marked by a number, which tells you how many horizontal lines your screen can hold, followed by the letter “p” or “i.” SD TVs have a resolution of 480i, while HDTVs support resolutions of 480p, 720i, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. Make sure to choose the highest setting for the best picture quality.  You can find the resolution setting in your TV settings menu. The resolution listing should be in your owner’s manual.  The “i” stands for “interlaced,” which means the image on your screen flickers between every other line, and the “p” stands for “progressive,” which means the image constantly uses every line on the TV screen to display the image. If you have an HDTV and you notice these visual issues, your aspect ratio setting is probably off. Go to your TV or source device setup menu and look for a setting for “crop,” “zoom,” “stretch,” or “aspect ratio.”  Set your HDTV to a 16:9 aspect ratio to get rid of the problem. HD and SD screens have different aspect ratios, so HDTVs sometimes distort an SD image to make it fit the screen. SD screens normally use the 4:3 aspect ratio, while HD screens normally have a 16:9 aspect ratio.

TL;DR in English: Look for a noticeable improvement in image quality. Check your TV’s display resolution settings. Watch for black or gray bars, cropping, or image stretching.

Spray a 9-by-9-inch (23-by-23-cm) glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.  A 9-inch (23-cm) oval casserole dish may be used, instead. If you do not have cooking spray, grease the dish with butter or shortening. Spread the cooking spray, butter, or shortening around the pan using a clean paper towel to coat the dish completely. You should spread out about one-third of your sliced potatoes on the bottom of the dish.  The entire bottom should be covered. The potatoes may overlap into more than one layer, but make sure that they are evenly distributed over the bottom of the dish. Evenly spread one-third of your heavy whipping cream over the potatoes in your baking dish.  You could use 35% cooking cream if you do not have whipping cream. Slightly shake the dish from side to side after adding the cream to make sure that all the potatoes are coated. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) salt, 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) pepper, 1/2 Tbsp (7.5 ml) parsley, and 1 tsp (5 ml) minced onion over the contents of the baking dish.  Distribute these seasonings as evenly as possible. Note that you are essentially using half of your seasonings here. If working with dried parsley instead of fresh, only use 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml). Arrange another layer of sliced potatoes over the seasonings.  Make sure that the potatoes are evenly distributed. Use roughly one-third of your potatoes, or half of the potatoes that are left. Pour another 1/2 cup (125 ml) of cream over the potatoes and add the remaining seasonings. Give the dish a slight shake from side to side to evenly distribute the cream. Layer the remaining potatoes on in an even layer before pouring the remaining cream over them. Give the dish one last gentle shake from side to side to settle the ingredients. The potatoes should be tender when pierced with a fork.  The top of the potatoes should also be slightly browned. Leave the dish uncovered as it bakes. Remove the finished potatoes from the oven and only let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Arrange a layer of potatoes in your prepared baking dish. Pour 1/2 cup (125 ml) over the potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, parsley, and minced onion. Create another layer of potatoes. Top with more cream and seasonings. Finish off with the remaining potatoes and cream. Bake for 50 minutes. Serve hot.

TL;DR in English:


Hair gel is ideal if you are going for a wet, spiked look. It will give your hair sheen and make it appear wet when it is in spikes. You can find hair gel at your local drugstore or online.  Hair gel is good for hair that tends to get dry and frizzy. Adding sheen to your dry hair can help it appear healthier and more styled. Hair gel may not be ideal if you have oily hair or hair that get oily during the hot weather months. You may decide to use a hair wax instead, as it will not make you hair look too greasy. Hair wax is good if you are trying to avoid the wet look and go for a more matte, spiked style. You can find hair wax at your local drugstore or online. This product is ideal for individuals with naturally oily or thick hair who do not want to end up looking greasy. Hair wax is also often used for individuals who have longer hair on the top of their head that they want to style. Pomade will give your hair shine and luster, as it is usually wax-based. It provides excellent hold and can be re-shaped throughout the day. Pomade can be found online as well as at your local drugstore. Use pomade on wet hair for less hold and more shine, and on dry hair for more hold and less shine. You can also use hair mousse if you are looking to add some volume and definition to your spiked hair look. If your hair lacks natural volume, you may get hair mousse to give your hair a little extra weight and texture. Hair mousse is also great for people with curly hair as it also helps to define your curls and prevents frizziness.

TL;DR in English: Use hair gel for a wet look. Go for hair wax for a matte look. Apply pomade for a slick, styled look. Try hair mousse for more volume.

To work for a major airline, you will typically need 3,000 hours total flight time including at least 1,500 hours multi-engine, and at least 1,000 hours as pilot in command of a turbine-powered aircraft. To gain that experience, you can start by working at a regional airline, which often requires only 1,500 hours of flight time. Many pilots start out at smaller airlines where they can gain experience flying on scheduled flights in a variety of weather conditions. Then, they use that experience to get higher paying jobs at bigger airlines. Some flight schools offer you flight hours in exchange for working as an instructor there. This is a very common route to earning the hours needed to fly for a major airline since it allows you to earn money and while building up your flight hours. Similarly, find a job as an instructor at a simulator company. Even if they cannot pay you a salary, see if you can trade your instructor hours for hours using the simulator and gaining experience to use in future job interviews. Safety pilots, for instance, keep an eye out while another pilot is wearing a view-limiting device that simulates low-visibility weather conditions. You can donate your time while also earning flight hours. Or, if you are in the U.S., you can work with the Civil Air Patrol (CAP)—the official civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. It conducts search-and-rescue missions and educational flights for younger cadets using a feel of smaller aircraft. Some CAP flights require a private pilot’s license at minimum, while others have more stringent requirements. Options include scenic flights, glider towing, aerial photography, towing banners, and pipeline patrol. These jobs may be hard to find when the market is bad for pilots, since other, more experienced pilots may be looking for work. These jobs can usually be found via word-of-mouth or contacting businesses in your area that you think might be hiring part-time pilots.

TL;DR in English: Apply for jobs with regional airlines. Complete your certified flight instructor rating to work at a flight school. Volunteer as a pilot to gain experience while helping others. Find “low-time” pilot jobs in your community for additional hours.

Florists not only love working with flowers and plants, but should also possess a keen eye for detail, and creative flair. You'll have to be good with your hands, and physically fit.  It will help to have good interpersonal skills. The retail portion of your business, means that you'll be dealing with customers as they come in to shop for flowers The flower arrangements for weddings and funerals are often made in times of high stress, where emotions are close to the surface. You'll have to be able to be helpful, diplomatic, and practical in difficult situations. To learn the trade of a florist, you can either go through a community college program or learn by apprenticing with a florist. Some community colleges have certification programs in floral design, but there is no requirement for college credits in order to work as a florist.  Working for a florist while you attend college is a good way to get the most out of your training. If the florist doesn't have any jobs or internships arranging flowers, you should consider doing part-time work cleaning the shop or other unskilled tasks in order to get a sense of the way a shop works. Working for a florist is the most efficient way to learn what skills you'll need, because you'll learn first-hand the pressures and rewards of owning your own shop. In addition, you'll likely learn cost-saving measures and floral design secrets that won't be found in community college programs.  Someone who works in floral design is usually more up-to-date on the latest trends in the flower industry as opposed to someone whose involvement has been more academic. If you plan to open your flower shop in the same city, county or state, you'll learn more about local resources and licensing requirements. While there are no formal requirements for becoming a florist, you'll need to apply for a business license and follow all local tax and building codes. Someone who runs his own flower shop will have to expect to work from quite early in the morning, as early as 4:30 a.m., until the end...

TL;DR in English: Have the natural skills a florist requires. Learn the trade of a florist. Consider on-the-job training. Think about risks and benefits of opening a flower shop.

You may find you have more to wear than you think. Look for baggy shirts and sweatshirts, along with anything else that fits looser, such as yoga pants and leggings. You can also wear things like loose cardigans and blazers.  Also, look for loose button-downs or other shirts that are extra-long so they can help cover your bump. Don't forget to check out your accessories. A great statement necklace, a colorful scarf, or a unique bracelet can make a basic outfit look special. When you start developing a bump, you can still rely on stretchy shirts for a while. The key is to pick tops that are long and flowy. That way, they'll stretch over your bump without leaving your belly peeking out the bottom. You can see ruching in shirts and dresses by looking for gathered fabric along the side hem. The benefit of ruching is it gives the garment extra stretch because there's extra material to go around. Often, shirts with ruching will last throughout your pregnancy. Wrap a rubber band through the button loop on your pants, stretch it over the button. This trick will give you some extra breathing room as your baby bump grows.  You can also unbutton the top button and hold it together with a safety pin. Put on a wide belt or long shirt to hide your makeshift pant extenders. Because low-rise pants sit lower on your waist, they can sit under your growing belly. Just be sure to pick longer shirts so you're not exposing your belly bump to everyone (unless you want to). While this won't work for every person, it can help your bras fit for longer. Extenders fit between the closures, making the band bigger. Though it won't make the cup size bigger, it will give you some breathing room. You can find these online or in most stores that sell bras. These won't be as form-fitting as maternity clothes. However, they will help you transition after your pregnancy back to regular clothes when you still have your baby belly. This works great for t-shirts and other stretchy items.

TL;DR in English: Check your closet before shopping. Opt for longer shirts and tunics. Look for shirts and dresses with ruching. Make your pants stretchier with a rubber band or hair tie. Try low-rise options to fit pants under your bump. Buy an extender for your bras to let them last through your pregnancy. Choose clothes with stretch that are 1-2 sizes bigger.

Keep in mind, however ,if you are cutting warm bread, you'll need to go for thicker slices. This will help keep the bread from going all mushy. Hold it just firmly enough to keep it in place, but not so firmly that you are squashing it. Keep the knife at a slight angle. Position the knife so that it is parallel to the cutting board. Carefully bring it down towards the board. If the bread is warm, you might have more luck with thicker slices.

TL;DR in English: Use an electric knife to get thin slices or to cut warm bread. Hold the bread lightly by the sides. Turn the knife on and cut into the bread slightly from the side. Cut straight down once you pierce the crust. Cut the slices as thin or as thick as you want them.

. If you are unfamiliar with pouring concrete, follow the linked instructions to ensure you do so correctly. Be ready to move on to the next steps as soon as you pour. Many modern concrete mixes do not need to be compressed, or "tamped", before finishing, and tamping the wrong mix can weaken the slab. Confirm your decision with a professional before tamping. If you do decide to tamp, simply press the concrete down using any variety of tamping tool (hand, rolling, etc.). Find the straightest lumber 2x4 you can find and place it across the barriers holding the concrete in place, or "forms". The 2x4 should extend at least a foot past the forms in each direction. This object is referred to as a screed board. Using the technique described below, move the 2x4 down the forms to remove excess concrete.  Use a sawing motion to pull and push the 2x4 across the concrete as you move it down the length of the forms. This sawing motion helps prevent tearing as you level the surface. Tilt the leading edge slightly away from the direction of travel to create a thin cutting edge where the screed board meets the concrete. Keep at least a 1 inch (2.5cm) hump of concrete in front of the edge at all times. This will fill any holes in the concrete's surface. Pour and level in stages for larger projects. At the end of the slab, push the excess concrete against the forms for easy removal with later tools.

TL;DR in English: Pour the concrete Compress the concrete only if necessary. Place a 2x4 across the concrete. Use the 2x4 to level the concrete.

Because group coverage is provided for many people through an organization, insurance companies are ultimately able to save money. Accordingly, you are more likely to receive comprehensive (or full) coverage than if you purchase as an individual on the open market. You are also likely to pay a lower premium than you would by purchasing individual insurance. One negative about purchasing insurance through an employer is that the employer probably makes various decisions about the scope of coverage. For example, the employer may want to only allow you to access physicians within one provider network. Your HR rep will guide you through the paperwork of joining a company insurance plan. Your company will generally offer several different plans from at least one, perhaps several, insurance carriers. In filling out your application, you may need information pertaining to:  Your previous insurance plan Any enrolling eligible dependents Any serious illnesses Many companies offer health insurance plans for full-time employees. You can also use these plans to cover an entire family, though you'll have to pay some monthly fees based on the plan that you choose and the number of people you are covering. Companies typically offer these types of plans.  Health Maintenance Organizations, or HMOs, are the least expensive option. In this type of health plan, you have a primary care physician who takes care of all health issues and refers you to a specialist when necessary. Preferred Provider Organizations, or PPOs, are more expensive, but give you more freedom in your choice of doctor. You are able to see any doctor within the organization without a referral. Point of Service, or POS, plans offer discounted rates for providers that are within a network, but you are free to pay higher rates to see a doctor outside of the network. You should complete the application and turn it in to HR in a timely fashion. Keep a copy for your records in case HR loses the application. After you submit your application to Human Resources, you...

TL;DR in English: Understand the benefits of group coverage. Contact Human Resources. Compare plan options. Fill out an application. Receive your health insurance card. Consider COBRA for temporary insurance.

Start with one rope in each hand (as you would in the method above) and fold the left-hand rope on top of itself to make a good-sized loop. This method will make a knot that's identical to the one in the method above. As above, you can make a loop with the right-hand rope and reverse the directions to get the same knot.

TL;DR in English: Double up the left-hand rope to make a loop.

You can get a good photo without shelling out a lot of cash, but of course a professional photographer will offer the highest quality photo. Some places require appointments, so plan ahead. Some options include  shipping centers (in the U.S., this includes Fedex and UPS) places with memberships (such as Costco and AAA) Costco offers some of the cheapest passport photos. AAA will sometimes do it for free if you’ve booked a trip through their travel services.  pharmacies and retail stores (CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and Walmart all offer this service) professional photography studios passport offices (many offer this service, but not all, so call ahead) registered passport expediters (if you need it in under two weeks) in your own home (but be sure to follow the strict requirements) Give your hair a little time to get over that fresh cut look by planning a haircut in advance if you need one.  About a week or two should still leave your hair looking neat and tidy by picture time. Of course, if you want the fresh cut look and trust your stylist not to botch it, you can wait until the last minute. If you like to shape your eyebrows, it’s best to do it about a day in advance to get rid of any redness before the photo but not give strays enough time to return. You could also get them waxed if you want to shell out a few bucks for this special occasion.  If you find that the skin around your eyebrows gets red after you pluck them, try applying cool, wet tea bags or a bit of aloe. To prevent dark shadows under your eyes and redness in your eyes, try to get enough sleep for several days before you take your passport photo. This will also help brighten your skin and make you look healthier.

TL;DR in English: Decide where to get your picture taken. Get a haircut about one to two weeks in advance. Pluck your eyebrows if that’s your thing. Get enough sleep.

Slowly lift each dumbbell out to the sides, like wings, until your arms are almost parallel to the ground, almost at shoulder-height. Slowly exhale as you use the muscles in the top of your shoulder to lift the dumbbells. Keep your head straight and aligned with your spine. It the lats are engaged, and the shoulder blades are retracted (as they are supposed to be), it is impossible to lift the arms above shoulder height. If the arms go above shoulder height, the lats are not engaged. If you are doing the exercise correctly, your arms will not go higher than the shoulders. If you are using a resistance band, lift the ends of the band as you raise your arms to shoulder-height or just slightly below. Allow yourself to build a little tension in your shoulder, making the workout more effective. Keep your core engaged and stabilized.  Do not flex your wrists or position your arm so that your wrists are higher than your elbows (they should be roughly at the same height or in line). If your wrists are held too high you will shift the work away from your shoulders.  To prevent this, imagine the dumbbell is actually a bottle of water and you are tilting it forward to pour out the water.

TL;DR in English:


Call the police if you suspect an intruder. Install motion-detecting lighting. Purchase items that can be used as weapons. Own a firearm if you feel comfortable doing so. Keep pepper spray or mace in your house.

Plopping is a technique that uses an old t-shirt instead of a towel to dry your hair. Using microfiber towels as gloves is a technique that is exactly as it sounds. Towel drying can easily cause frizz but these techniques can eliminate that as well as reduce tangles and prevent your hair from breaking.  Plopping requires you to place an old t-shirt on a flat surface positioning the end with the sleeves facing you. Bend over and lay your head at the center of the t-shirt making sure that there's material in front of and behind your hair. Try to position yourself so that your hair scrunches hair straight down. Cover the back of your neck with the bottom of your t-shirt. Then, gather the front material of your t-shirt and keep it tight against the sides of your head as you take the sleeves and wrap them from the front to the back of your head. You may twist the sleeves and side material to help keep it tight against your head. Tie the sleeves at the front of your forehead to keep the plop tight. Tuck in any loose material and leave to dry.  Once the conditioner has been rinsed off, turn your head upside down and scrunch your curls with microfiber towels. You may be able to purchase actual microfiber towel gloves online or your local beauty supply store. Scrunching your hair removes excess water while still adding volume. It also reduces frizz and keeps the definition of your curls. The sheer force of a hair dryer can ruin your curls and create a lot of unwanted frizz. Diffusers evenly disperse the air produced by your hair dryer. They may also be used to add volume to your hair and help set curls.  Make sure your diffuser fits firmly onto your hair dryer. While your hair dryer may have come with an attachment, you can also buy a universal diffuser online or your local beauty supply store.  Apply your styling products before drying your hair with the diffuser. Your hair should be about 75% dry before using the diffuser to finish drying.  Use the medium setting of your hair dryer if you do not have time to use the...

TL;DR in English: Towel dry your hair using plopping or microfiber towels as gloves. Add a diffuser to your hairdryer. Pick the right products to control your frizz. Use your dry hair with wet fingers and don't use a brush.

Talk to your doctor or physical therapist about stretches that can ease your back pain. Before and after each game, perform these stretches or others that target your back muscles. Doing these can ease your pain, prevent further injury, and loosen your back muscles. Not every stretch will work for every body or be optimal for certain types of back pain, but consider the following stretches:  Stretch the shoulder by holding a golf club behind your neck and shoulders. Grasp both ends of the club with your hands and rotate your torso gently from side to side from your hips for 10-20 reps.  Stretch the hips by lying down on the floor and pulling one knee to your chest. Return the leg to the floor and repeat with the opposite knee. Perform 10-20 reps.  Stretch the hamstrings by bending over touching your toes. If you can’t reach the floor, simply allow your body to hang over your legs for 10-30 seconds. Use an ice pack or a bag of frozen vegetables on you back 30-60 minutes before you play golf. Keep it on your back for 20 minutes and then remove it. Icing your back before a golf game can reduce swelling and inflammation that cause pain. This may allow you to fully enjoy your game with less or even no pain. Use a towel between the ice pack and your skin to help prevent frostbite.  Freeze a foam cup full of water and gently massage it into your back for 20 minutes. If your skin gets too cold or numb, remove the ice. Pop an over-the-counter pain medication such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen to relieve your back pain and discomfort. Some, such as naproxen sodium and ibuprofen, may even ease swelling and inflammation in your back. Following dosing instructions to keep you comfortable during your entire golf gain. Take any of the following pain meds to relieve back pain:  Aspirin Ibuprofen Naproxen sodium Acetaminophen Avoid pushing yourself too much during your golf game. Play as many holes as you are comfortable and take frequent breaks. Pay attention to signs of severe pain and stop your game to prevent further...

TL;DR in English: Stretch your back and body regularly. Ice your back before your game. Take an over-the-counter pain medication. Listen to your body.

If you want your fender flares to match the rest of your vehicle, you can find the vehicle's paint code in the manual or by contacting the car or truck manufacturer. Finding the paint code will allow you to go out and purchase the same exact color as the rest of your car. For example, Clover Green's color code for a 2000 Acura Integra is G-95P. Painting the car's trim the same color as your fender flares will give your vehicle a uniform look. Contact the vehicle's manufacturer or look inside of your user manual to find the color code for your vehicle's trim.  Painting your fender flares the same color as the vehicle's trim will make them look like they came with the vehicle in most cases. Modern vehicle paint is often fade-resistant.  If you think your car's paint is fading, buffing the car with a cleaning product will remove airborne contaminants and revive the luster of your paint job. If you are going for a more bold or creative look, you can paint your flares a completely different color than the rest of your vehicle. Choose a bright fluorescent color for an upbeat feeling or a more muted color for a laid-back look.  If you want your flares to stand out, select a color that contrasts with the vehicle's paint job. For instance, red, yellow, and white fender flares will pop on a black car. Black fender flares look good on a variety of different vehicle colors. You can go out and purchase stencils that you can use to paint certain designs, such as flames, on your vehicle’s fender flares. Look for these stencils online or at automotive shops. Examples of stencils you can use include stars, letters, or something that blends in with an existing custom paint job. It’s important that you don’t use traditional spray paint to paint your fenders or it may not look good. Instead, go online or to an automotive store and purchase an enamel or polyurethane automotive paint and primer. These paints will come in a spray paint form. If you’re unsure of what to buy, ask a store associate for help.

TL;DR in English: Use the paint code to find an exact color match. Select a paint code that matches your car's trim. Paint your flares a different color for a bold look. Purchase stencils for a custom look. Purchase an enamel or polyurethane automotive paint.

As soon as you secure your physical security, it's important that you speak with the authorities and move forward with legal action, or at least explore your options. You should know how to proceed legally and learn about safety precautions from the police. Ensure that your abuse will end. As soon as possible, you should get in touch with a domestic abuse counselor and learn about your options moving forward. Depending on your situation and the length of your relationship, it may be difficult to get a new job, a new apartment, or make the other big changes this might require. Domestic abuse counselors can help. Keep records of any attempts that your partner takes to get in touch with you after breaking up. Write down a description of events that happen in person or on the telephone, and keep any physical evidence such as emails, social media messages, or text messages.  You need to document all of the correspondence that you receive, particularly if it contains threats of violence. If you are able to, you should document any physical abuse that happened while you were with the abuser or that he inflicts after the breakup. This is an essential part of building a legal case against your abuser and it may help in the event that you need a restraining order. A restraining order (also known as a personal protection order)allows you legal protection from a past abuser. Take any and all evidence of abuse you have as well as a letter describing the abusive situation and the relationship between you and your abuser to your local courthouse. They should provide you with further instructions about how to fill out the appropriate paperwork to get a restraining order.  If the court approves your restraining order, it will need to be legally served to your abuser.  After it has been served, you will file a proof of service with the court. Talk to the clerk at the courthouse about how to do this. Keep a copy of your restraining order with you all the time so that you can show it to the police if necessary. You never know...

TL;DR in English: Contact the authorities. Document your abuse. File a restraining order. Don't offer a second chance. Make changes in your routine.

If you see a burglar or think someone is breaking into your home, leave your house if you can do so safely. Otherwise, grab your phone and hide. Call the authorities as soon as you can, and avoid the intruder. Designate a safe room in your house. It is best to have a plan in advance, rather than coming up with something on the fly. This will alert you if someone is outside your house. Motion detectors are fairly cheap and easy to install, and you can adjust their distance range and how long the lights stay on after activation.  Keep in mind that animals, cars driving by, and heavy winds can potentially activate motion lights. Also, depending on where you are in your house, you may not even see the lights turn on. While you should avoid confrontation with an intruder if at all possible, you may be in a situation where you have to defend yourself. Baseball bats and golf clubs work well, as well as anything sharp. Make sure to keep any dangerous objects away from children. In case of emergency, any household item can be used as a weapon. You might have easy access to a broom, lamp, or telephone. Keep in mind that guns are very dangerous and you need to know what you are doing. If you purchase a gun, you should take a class or have someone teach you to shoot it properly. Learn about the self defense and gun laws in your area, as it may be illegal for you to shoot an intruder unless they are threatening you.   Laws regarding possession of firearms vary in different cities and states. You might be required to have a background check and take a gun safety class. Store the gun in a secure and safe location. Always keep the safety switch on unless you need to use it. Pepper spray is an effective defense weapon because it doesn't require physical strength or skill. It is cheap and available at many stores and online. It quickly disables burglars and gives you time to call the police.  Keep it well out of reach of young children. If a burglar is in your home and you don't own pepper spray or don't have access to it,...
