Roll out the dough. Cut the dough into small squares. Alternatively, create knots.

. A soft, smooth, and slightly moist mouth is ideal for kissing. Before you move in, you should make sure your lips aren't chapped or dry so your partner isn't distracted or put off by the state of your lips. If you want to soften your lips before you go in for the kiss, you should try these quick fixes:  Use chapstick. Swipe some over your lips and press them together. (If you're a girl and you have flavored chapstick, all the better!) The only caveat is that you should apply lip balm or gloss an hour or more before you kiss, so your kissing partner feels your soft lips, not the thick layer of gloss over them. Drink water. Dry lips are a sign of dehydration, so throw back a tall glass of water (or two). You should notice your lips starting to smooth out within 20 to 30 minutes. Lick your lips. If you're really in a pinch and have no time to spare, quickly run your tongue over your lips and press them together. This should moisten them slightly without making them slobbery or slick. You can even lick your lips a bit subtly while making eye contact with your kissing partner. You never want to have bad breath when you are about to kiss someone, whether the kiss is a French kiss or not. Because your mouth will be open in a French kiss, fresh breath is especially important. Practice good dental hygiene. If you know you are about to kiss someone, take a second to brush your teeth or at least rinse out your mouth with water.  Always have breath mints or mint-flavored gum with you if you think there is a chance you might kiss someone while you are out. If you want to be subtle, you can quickly suck on a breath mint or chew gum for a minute in the bathroom, so you don't make it too obvious that you're ready to kiss. Avoid foods that leave an unpleasant aftertaste or residue, particularly garlic, coffee, onions, milk, and corn. If you're on a dinner date before the big kiss, try to eat strategically. A good kiss—especially a first kiss or first French kiss—is the culmination of building tension and growing intimacy....

TL;DR in English: Keep your lips soft Freshen your breath. Find the right moment. Make eye contact. Smile. Close your eyes. Keep your mouth in a kissable position.

A balance sheet shows the company's assets (what it owns), liabilities (what it owes) and equity accounts, such as common stock and additional paid-in capital for a specific date. Title the first page of your financial report “Balance Sheet” and then list the organization's name and the balance sheet's effective date. The balance sheet items are reported as of a specific day of the year. For example, the balance may be prepared as of December 31. Most balance sheets feature assets on the left and liabilities/equity on the right. Alternatively, some may show assets on top and liabilities/equity below. Add the title “Assets” to first section of the balance sheet, then list the different assets held by the company.  Start with current assets, such as cash and any items that will be converted to cash within one year of the balance sheet date. At the end of this section, include a subtotal of the current assets.  Next, list the non-current assets. Non-current assets are defined as any assets that are not in the form of cash and will not be converted to cash any time soon. For example, property, equipment and notes receivable are non-current assets. Include a subtotal of the non-current assets.  Finally, sum the current and non-current subtotals and label this line “Total Assets.” The next section of the balance sheet shows the liabilities and equity accounts. This section of the balance sheet should be titled “Liabilities and Equity.”   Begin by listing current liabilities. These are liabilities that are due within one year, and typically include accounts payable, accrued liabilities and the short-term portion of mortgages and other loan payments. Include a subtotal of the current liabilities.  Next, include the long-term liabilities. These are any liabilities that will not be settled within one year, such as long-term debt and notes payable. Include a subtotal of long-term liabilities.  Sum the current and non-current subtotals and label this line “Total Liabilities.” The equity section of the balance sheet comes...

TL;DR in English: Set up the balance sheet page. Format your balance sheet appropriately. List your assets. List your liabilities. List all sources of equity. Add up the liabilities and equity. Check the balance.

Small businesses often have very different customer service expectations than mega big-box stores. Understanding why people choose your store or business will help you assist your customers in getting exactly what they want out of their interaction with you.  If you are a large company, customers will likely expect a wide selection of goods or services, low prices, and quick “in and out” shopping experiences. If you are a small business, personal interaction, knowledge ability, and problem-solving are very important aspects to focus on. You probably cannot offer prices as low as a mega business, but your friendly expertise will make up for it. One study suggests that 70% of customers are willing to pay higher prices if they get excellent, personalized customer service. 81% of customers believe that small businesses provide better customer service overall than big businesses. Having a clear vision statement for your customer service mission is crucial. You will incorporate this vision statement into employee training and will likely also share it with customers. Your vision statement communicates your business’s core values, what you’re all about.  Consider examples from very successful businesses. ACE Hardware, a very successful chain of independently-owned hardware stores, has been repeatedly recognized with awards as being a top customer service provider. Their customer service vision boils down to a very simple statement: “100% helpful.” This emphasis on helpfulness, not just friendliness, has helped them compete with big-box stores such as Home Depot and Lowe’s.  Another example is from Amazon, whose customer service vision is: “We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It’s our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better.” By using a metaphor (invited guests to a party), this vision statement clearly expresses Amazon’s goals: to make customers feel welcomed and appreciated, and create a fun and enjoyable experience shopping...

TL;DR in English: Consider your business type. Create a clear vision statement. Examine the public “face” of your business. Make sure your employees know what “quality service” means to your business.

Start with the middle of the long edge of the scarf across your forehead. The rest of the scarf should cover the back of your head. Let the 2 ends come around the front and dangle down. Pass one end over the other and wrap both around the back of your head, going opposite directions. Bring the ends back to the front to finish it.  You can tie the ends in a loose knot in the front to help secure the scarf. It helps to fold a square scarf in thirds to create a longer, skinnier scarf. Place the long edge across your forehead but arrange the scarf asymmetrically, so that one end hangs only slightly below your chin and the other side is much longer. Pull the edge of the long end up next to the short edge under your chin. Then, pin the edges together with a safety pin, securing them tightly under your chin. Wrap the long edge around your head without twisting it. At this point, you can either continue wrapping the long end around your head and secure it at the back with a safety pin or tuck part of the edge into the circle around your face, just on the opposite side of your chin from the direction you're wrapping from. Place the middle of the long edge of the scarf across your forehead. Throw one end over your shoulder, going over the end that's hanging down in front. With the end that's still hanging down, wrap it around itself to tie a decorative knot, and you're done! The knot will also help weight that end of the scarf down, holding it in place.

TL;DR in English: Create a simple look by wrapping the scarf over your head and around your neck. Pin the scarf under your chin for a secure look. Wrap the scarf loosely and put it over your shoulder for a simple, breezy look.

Draw a grid on the board, for instance, that identifies all the tenses you'll be teaching. To focus on the 9 basic tenses, for instance, write “Past,” “Present,” and “Future” along the top of the grid, “Simple,” “Continuous” (aka “Progressive”), and “Perfect,” along the side, and fill in the 9 grid boxes with examples from a single verb (e.g., saw, see, will see, etc.). There are more than 9 verb tenses in English--some experts say 13, which includes “perfect continuous” as its own tense and “future with 'going to'” as its own category. Others claim there are actually 16 tenses, which includes “perfect progressive” and “conditional” tenses, but starting with the basic 9 is good for an introductory or ESL setting. In a more advanced class, you can also use a grid to introduce 16 verb tenses. After identifying the entire system, narrow your focus to 1 of the 3 time frames. The present time frame makes a good starting point, since it is often the easiest for students to immediately comprehend.  For example: I watch (simple), I am watching (continuous), I have watched (perfect). This runs counter to methods that focus, for example, on the simple past, simple present, and simple future at once (e.g., watched, watch, will watch). The reasoning behind this is the assumption that students are better able to follow along when you stay in a single time frame. After all, when you tell a story, you tend to stay in the same time frame throughout. Describe the similarities and differences among “eat,” “am eating,” and “have eaten,” for example. All 3 refer to something that continues to be true in the present moment, but each presents distinct information.  “Eat” indicates something you do regularly across time frames. “Am eating” indicates something you are doing in the present moment. “Have eaten” indicates something you have done that remains relevant currently. As you advance from one time frame to the next, make sure to circle back regularly to review previously-covered time frames and tenses. This reinforces the...

TL;DR in English: Provide a quick overview of the entire system of tenses. Focus on a single time frame, such as the present. Discuss the tenses within that time frame in relation to each other. Incorporate frequent reviews as you move onto the other 2 time frames.

Place the chilled dough on a clean, lightly floured surface. Use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough out until it is an even 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick all the way around. Try to keep the dough in the shape of a rectangle as you roll it out. If there are uneven edges, use a knife to trim them away before cutting the main part of the dough into pieces. The scraps of dough should be re-kneaded together and re-rolled after you form pieces from the main portion. Cut additional pieces from these scraps once you roll the scraps back into a workable form. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the rectangle of dough into strips that are roughly 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) wide. Cut the dough crosswise into another set of 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) strips, ultimately forming 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) squares. You could make the pieces a little bigger, if desired, but keep in mind that larger pieces will take longer to cook. Cut the dough into 2 inch (5 cm) squares. Cut each square in half diagonally, then poke a small hole in the center of each triangle. Carefully pull one corner of the triangle through the hole, forming a knot. To form 2 inch (5 cm) squares, cut the flattened rectangle of dough into 2 inch (5 cm) strips with a knife or pizza cutter. Cut another set of 2 inch (5 cm) strips crosswise, forming the squares.

TL;DR in English:


Why do you think you need a mental health day? What is stressing you out? Take a moment to identify the problem, and try to tease out what's going on here. Potential reasons to take a break include:  You're distracted by a problem at home, and you need to work on it You feel drained You haven't been taking care of yourself You need a break from your work environment You need to see a mental health specialist There's no need to feel guilty about taking a break. Everyone needs to recharge sometimes.  Schools have breaks, and workers have vacation days, for good reason. Experts note that time off is important for people's well-being. Most people need a mental health break from time to time. But if you're seriously feeling bad, this may be a sign that something is wrong. You might need a longer break, or a change of lifestyle (like a new job), or some help from a doctor or therapist. Signs of a serious problem include:  You routinely take mental health days (or really wish you could) Your mental state is endangering yourself or others (e.g. an exhausted truck driver or a distracted surgeon) You can't focus due to stress You fantasize about quitting You often feel stressed, exhausted, etc., to the point it's affecting daily life

TL;DR in English: Understand your situation. Know that taking time off is important for health and productivity. Recognize the signs of a bigger problem.

A regular sewing machine foot will usually jam if you try to satin stitch with it. Buy a special satin stitch foot from any store that sells your brand of sewing machine. This foot has a groove on the underside so the stitch can pass through as you go.  A transparent foot makes it easier to see your design. For intricate designs, you may use a free motion embroidery foot instead. This allows you to move the fabric in any direction while you stitch. For all but the simplest patterns, most embroiderers sketch their design onto the fabric. Use washable fabric pencil so you can remove the marks later. An embroidery hoop that attaches to your machine will keep the fabric taut for your stitch. If you are stitching an intricate pattern, you'll also need a stabilizer that adheres to the back of the fabric. The choice of stabilizer depends on the fabric, thread, and type of project, so read the product description carefully before buying.

TL;DR in English: Attach a satin stitch foot to your machine. Draw a design onto the fabric (recommended). Stabilize the fabric.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly butter an 8-inch springform pan. Cut parchment paper to line the bottom of the pan and place it on top of the buttered bottom. Take another long strip of parchment paper and wrap it along the buttered sides of the pan. Leave a few inches of parchment paper sticking up and out from the sides of the pan. This will make it easier to remove the fruitcake after it has baked. If you have a stand mixer, place them in the bowl with a beater attachment. If not, get a hand mixer out. Beat the ingredients until the mixture is light and fluffy. Make sure your butter is not completely cold and hard or this will make beating difficult. Add one of the eggs and beat the mixture until the egg is incorporated. Add the other egg and beat the mixture again. Add the final egg and stir until combined. Stir the mixture until these ingredients are thoroughly combined. Take a spatula and using your wrist, gently make circles, folding these ingredients into the batter. Do not simply stir or beat the batter or you'll lose all the volume you've created by beating the butter. Whisk these ingredients for 20 seconds to completely combine the leavening agent. Add the dry flour mixture into your wet batter. Take a spatula and using your wrist, gently make circles, folding these ingredients into the batter. Pour the batter into your prepared springform pan. Take a knife and smooth over the top. Set the springform pan on top of a larger baking sheet. Place the loaf in the oven and bake for 1 hour. Turn the oven down to 300 degrees F. Then bake your fruitcake for another 90 minutes. Stick a cake tester or toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, turn off the oven and remove your fruitcake from the oven. If it's not done, return the fruitcake to the oven and check every 5 minutes till it's done. Poke several holes over the top of the cake and brush a little brandy over the top. Once the cake is completely cool, release the springform side of the pan and remove the bottom of the cake...

TL;DR in English: Turn on the oven and prepare your pan. Place the butter, light brown sugar, and dark brown sugar in a bowl. Add the eggs. Add the brandy, orange juice and zest, and lemon zest. Fold in the ground almonds, mixed nuts, and fruits (candied and dried). Place the flour, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Fold the dry ingredients into your wet batter. Spread the batter in your pan. Bake your fruitcake. Reduce the oven temperature and continue baking. Test the fruitcake and remove from the oven. Let the fruitcake cool completely while it's still in the springform pan. Remove the fruitcake and wrap. Brush the fruitcake with brandy.

Before you store your wetsuit, check for any rips, tears, or gouges. Check the seams carefully, and look at the Velcro patches and zippers as well. If you notice any damage, take it to a wetsuit shop to get repairs or make them yourself.  Cover a hole in your wetsuit by using a blind stitch to sew on a neoprene patch. Fix busted seams by applying wetsuit cement to both edges, then press them together and allow the cement to dry. Sew the seams together, then seal them with seam tape.  If you need to lubricate your zippers so they slide more smoothly, use a small amount of beeswax rather than an oil or grease. You can leave your wetsuit hung in half over the hanger, if you wish. You could also store your wetsuit flat by laying it out on a table or other level surface. Don’t hang it by the neck or shoulders, crumple up your suit, or shove it in a drawer. These practices could cause your suit to become misshapen or creased, reducing the suit’s insulating effectiveness. A consistent temperature will extend the life of your wetsuit, so store it indoors, such as in a mudroom or bathroom, away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing your wetsuit in your vehicle, as the high temperatures can break down the neoprene. Don’t store your wetsuit in your garage, as exhaust fumes from your vehicle can deteriorate the fabric.

TL;DR in English: Inspect the wetsuit for damage. Lay it flat or hang it in half. Store your wetsuit in a temperature-controlled environment.

Some of the most cherished memories that people have are of times when they were out with their best friend. Make plans together and be sure to actually follow through on them. The most important thing is to be sure you’re making an effort to spend time with them outside your home, school, or work. You can do pretty much anything you want with your best friend. Take a day trip where you spend the whole day together, or just put an hour aside to grab coffee. The important thing is that you enjoy your time together. Best friends don’t have to do something crazy to have a good time. Sometimes, it’s enough to go over to one of your houses and just hang out. Invite your friend over even when you don’t have something special planned. Just enjoy each other’s company and relax. There are still fun activities you can do if you’re staying inside. Watch a movie, play video games, bake some cupcakes – whatever. Staying home doesn’t have to mean sitting quietly on the couch. Seeing each other on a regular basis will make the bond between you even stronger. It doesn’t have to be a big deal. Maybe you eat lunch together every day or you take the bus to school together. Even if it’s only for 20 minutes or so, regularly seeing your friend is an important part of being a best friend.  Regular activities will also help you create some good memories because it gives you more opportunities to do things together. As well as helping you be best friends with someone, regular social interaction is just plain good for your mental health. Science has shown that it reduces the chance of experiencing anxiety, depression, and stress if they see another person face-to-face regularly. If you struggle with these problems, regular social activities will help you feel better and strengthen your friendships. As you spend time together, there will be moments that cause the two of you to break into hysterical laughter. Remember these times and bring them up later. It’ll make the two of you smile and start laughing again as well as remind both of...

TL;DR in English: Plan activities together. Stay in together. Do some things regularly with one another. Share inside jokes. Be spontaneous. Make friends with their family.

It's important to be prepared to go out in any sort of weather, be it rain, hail or shine. Have a raincoat, poncho and rain boots option that can be thrown over your costume if needed.  Check the weather beforehand, both in the days leading up to Halloween, and on the day itself. This will help you make the right choices about what to wear and whether you can get away with not wearing an overcoat and tights or an umbrella. If it's hot, don't wear thick leggings, a jacket, or a heavy costume. Avoid layers, and wear something fairly thin. Lighter colors are better than darker ones. Try putting your hair in a ponytail so you won't get extra hot. However, if you need to wear layers (if your outfit is inappropriate), just find another costume. If it's cold, bundle up. Wear a coat, and wear a shirt under your costume so you won't be chilly. Try wearing boots as well.

Just like the before mentioned bath solution, if you have sensitive skin, use something that has a sensitive skin label. You can use a bar of soap or try a liquid body wash. Some soaps are more mild than others, so you may want to research the type you buy to make sure the product will be easy on your skin. When getting clean in the bath, you will want to start with washing your hair. Dunk your head under the water to get your hair completely wet. Then, depending on how much hair you have, put about a quarter size of shampoo in your palm. Lather in the shampoo and massage your scalp. You do not want to scratch your scalp with your nails, instead try using your finger tips. Baths are a great time to take advantage of a deep conditioner treatment that might require anywhere from 5-15 minutes of leave in time. After you put on the hair conditioner, you can wash the rest of your body or just lay and relax as your hair is getting treated. The best way to rinse your hair is to take a cup and fill it with clean water from the faucet. Keep pouring it over your hair with your head tilted back so the shampoo and conditioner doesn't get in your eyes. For optimal relaxation, you will want to spend at least 20 minutes in the bath. Soak in the bath for at least ten minutes to get rid of the dirt and eliminate bacteria. This will open up your pores and soften your skin so you can get a better clean.  Keep soaking for several minutes after to make sure everything is cleaned off. While scientists say it is safe to bathe for over an hour as long as the bath isn't too hot, make sure you get out before you get too tired. Falling asleep in the tub could be dangerous and lead to drowning. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, leaving your skin glowing and smooth. You can start at your shoulders, using circular motions, and then work your way down to your feet. You don't want to scrub your skin too hard because that can cause skin irritation. Gently applying pressure is all you need for a good clean. Select exfoliating cleansers...

TL;DR in English: Choose a good shampoo and soap. Start from the top. Leave on the conditioner. Spend enough time in the bath. Use a soft scrub or washcloth to exfoliate your skin.

If you are eating a well-balanced diet, she might advise you that taking extra vitamins is not necessary. Consult your doctor about alternatives if the problem of stomach upset from vitamins persists. This will help you not only avoid harming your stomach, but also best help your body. You should never take vitamins without first consulting your doctor. If your diet is consistent or you suffer from a chronic disorder, you may include vitamins to your daily routine to supplement what your body is missing.  Vegetarians should consider taking iron daily. This provides protein otherwise found in meats. People living without a lot of natural sunlight, or people who do not go outside regularly, should take Vitamin D. The sun naturally produces this vitamin, but people often lack enough. People who have office jobs or live in a climate without a lot of sunlight are especially at risk for Vitamin D deficiency. If your immune system is suppressed, or if it is flu and cold season, take Vitamin C. Vitamin C is a natural immune booster and can help your body resist illness.

TL;DR in English: Ask your doctor if you need to take vitamin supplements if they upset your stomach. Determine the correct type and dosage of vitamins. Know what to take and why.

Cultivating a rebellious style today is not the same as it used to be. Style rebels like Johnny Depp, Pharrell Williams, Rebel Wilson, Madonna, Amy Winehouse, Ke$ha, Taylor Momsen, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, and Andre 3000 have become new icons for rebelling from fashion trends. You might not think your Batman or Bart Simpson shirt is rebellious, but if you look at fashion styles by designers like Jeremy Scott you can see how easily it can be. He designs styles for celebrities that are style rebels, like Katy Perry, and many of his designs can be easily mimicked without spending too much money. Dressing rebelliously is more than just ripping your jeans or getting a piercing. To cultivate a rebellious style notice what everyone else in school wears. Then be brave enough to wear something different. When people can tell you are dressing differently intentionally, it will make you seem more accomplished and improve your perceived status.  Consider getting a permanent or temporary piercing if your school doesn't allow them. Fake a tattoo. Wear your hair messy. Instead of ripping your jeans to fit in with the style of a certain group of kids, wear some sneakers with dress slacks. Creativity in your style is the key to being a rebel. You don't need to go over the top, but you want a bold element to your style to make your look pop. No matter what crowd you gravitate toward, you can still keep the same social circles while dressing like you want. For example, Young Thug is a well-known hip-hop artist and fashion rebel. His style of puffy blouses with preppy blazers goes against everything you thought hip-hop style is about. Take a page out of Pharrell William's style book and use some neon paint to write and draw on your sneakers. Purchase sneakers that are one shade to have your writing stand out. You can even write something that your support of a cause. Leather jackets have always been a staple of a rebellious look. Guys can wear it over a dress shirt or sweater, and girls can drape it over dresses to add a...

TL;DR in English: Learn from style rebels. Be creative. Be bold. Buy some new sneakers, then draw on them. Get a leather jacket. Wear edgy makeup. Accessorize rebelliously. Alter your school uniform.

A PAC, or Porting Authorization Code, is a unique alphanumeric code that is used to transfer an existing cellphone number between mobile network carriers. This way, a user can still retain his or her mobile number even after switching to a different service provider.  Different countries have different guidelines regarding the issuing of PAC to subscribers. Basically, all you need to do is to contact your service provider and ask for your Portability Authorization Code. If you meet your respective country's guidelines on PAC, the service provider should readily issue one for you. You can get your Porting Authorization Code either for free or with a fee, depending on your network carrier's policies. Call the customer service department of the carrier you want to switch to after you get your PAC. Once you give your new carrier your mobile number and its PAC, they should be able to process your request right away. Depending on the region, Porting Authorization Codes can only be used after a specific amount of time from the date of issuance (ranging from 2 days up to a maximum of 30 days). Your new carrier will issue you a new SIM card that uses your old number from your previous carrier. You should be able to use it normally like you did before, but you'll now be using the products and services of your new carrier.

TL;DR in English: Contact your carrier's customer support and ask for your PAC. Contact the customer support of the new carrier you want to use. Wait for your request to be completed.

Lay down old towels, rags, newspaper, or drop cloths over the floor and surfaces on which you’ll be standing or sitting, laying down materials, or rinsing off.  The bathroom is a good spot to avoid dye messes because you have close access to a sink and a shower for the rinsing process. However, you should make sure you get good ventilation in your bathroom to avoid the chemical fumes. Remember that you will have time to wait while the dye sits on your hair to process. Protect your hair and any other surfaces where you go during this time from coming in contact with one another. Always wear the plastic gloves provided to you in your dye kit, or purchase disposable gloves from the store, to protect your hands from the dye.  Wear gloves throughout the duration of your dyeing process, from mixing the dye to applying it. You can even keep the gloves on to rinse your hair out until the water runs clear. Even if you have the gloves included with your dye, it’s a good idea to have other disposable ones nearby, in case the first pair breaks or it’s hard to apply the dye in the typically too-big, generic size that comes in your kit. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting ruined and cover your shoulders with a rag towel for extra protection. Dab petroleum jelly or oil around your hairline, ears, and neck to make it easy to wipe away dye from those areas later.  If you do get dye on your neck and ears, try using clarifying shampoo and a wet towel to dab away the stains after you rinse out the dye from your hair.  You can also try baby oil, olive oil, or a gentle dish soap or laundry detergent to remove stains from skin. If your hair dye gets on the sink or counter or another surface nearby, spray the spot with bleach and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before wiping it away. If the dye got on clothes or other fabrics, you may be able to spot-treat it with bleach also, but these stains are very difficult to remove.

TL;DR in English: Cover your workspace. Wear gloves. Protect your skin and clothes. Spray dye spots with bleach.

One of the most common signs of ear mite infection is the scratching of the affected ear. This ear scratching is because ear mites can cause considerable irritation. The rabbit may scratch his ears with his paw or rub his ears on the ground.  Your rabbit may also shake his head or hold his ear over to one side. Your rabbit’s ears may have reddened or inflamed skin. Irritation from the feces and saliva of the mite causes extreme itchiness, and the rabbit scratches and traumatizes the ear. A severe infection due to ear mites is characterized by distinctive yellow-gray debris and scale that builds up and fills the ear canal. This debris and discharge is tightly adhered to the skin. Attempting to remove the debris causes pain.  Forcible removal tends to peel away the top layer of skin with the discharge leaving a large ulcer behind. Typically in the early stages of infection, close inspection may show scales of skin tightly stuck to the ear canal. If ear mites are left untreated, the weight of the collected debris inside the ear can cause it to drop. The rabbit may develop secondary bacterial infections where the skin is damaged, and infection may spread inwards into the middle and inner ear causing poor balance and a head tilt.

TL;DR in English: Watch for ear scratching. Look for discharge from the ear. Monitor for drooping ears.

Once you find a stock you are interested in purchasing, research the company to determine whether or not it is likely to grow and prove a worthwhile investment. The difficulty in researching penny stock companies varies based on the company and the market the stock is sold on. You should prioritize purchases of penny stocks that you find information on, and avoid stocks that don’t present any real data on themselves.  If you are interested in a penny stock for sale on a secured exchange like NASDAQ or NYSE, you can read the company’s quarterly financial statements and SEC filings for free online. These resources provide you with details about the company's historical performance, and the attached management discussion will outline the company’s vision for the future. If you are looking at a penny stock for sale outside of the exchanges, such as through OTC markets like Pink Sheets, use tools like Google’s or Yahoo’s finance websites to search for the type of penny stock you would like to buy. Researching directly through a reputable third-party source will ensure you aren’t being scammed, such as through emails or other marketing articles paid for by businesses looking to sell stock. If you want to buy a specific penny stock and can’t find any data on the company, watch out! If you are certain you want to invest, use google maps to determine whether the company has a legitimate place of business and is operating as it represents. A balance sheet lists all the assets the company owns, including cash, liquid investments, outstanding amounts owed by customers (receivables), equipment, real estate, and other forms of property. It also lists the amounts the company owes in liability to other companies, and the amount of equity in the company retained by the owners. Use the balance sheet to assess whether the company has enough cash and liquid assets on hand to pay the liabilities it owes in the next year (“short-term liabilities"). The company income statement, or statement of earnings, shows how much money the...

Keep your kitten in a separate room at night. Warm up a blanket for your kitten. Put away noisy toys. Implement the “do nothing” rule. Discipline your kitten with love. Provide breakfast that doesn’t require you to wake up.

Place your underwear face up and flat on your bed. Fold the bottom up toward the waistband. Fold both sides inward toward the middle. At this point your underwear should look like a square. Then fold the square in half. Stack the underwear on top of each other, or line them side by side in the drawer. Place the underwear flat on your bed face up. Starting from the waistband, tightly roll your underwear down toward the bottom. Leave 2 inches (5.1 cm) of fabric at the bottom. Flip it over. Fold both sides in toward the middle, and fold the bottom up. Once you fold the bottom up, there should be a pocket. Finish the roll method by: Folding one side of the pocket up and around the entire piece of underwear until it looks like a little roll or a burrito. Some underwear garments may be too small to fold like thongs. Place the underwear flat on your bed or floor. Stack the underwear one on top of the other into a pile. Place the pile in your drawer. You do not have to fold your underwear if you do not want to. You can choose to just haphazardly place your underwear in the different sections of your drawer. You can also stack them flat, one pair on top of the other. Place one bra cup into the other to fold your bras. If a bra has a matching panty, place the panty in between the cups. You can either stack your bras on top of each other, or place one in front of the other in a row in your drawer.

TL;DR in English: Use the traditional "square" method to fold your underwear. Use the roll method to maximize space. Stack up small underwear garments that can't be folded or rolled. Choose not to fold your underwear. Fold your bras.

Today, most computer manufacturers offer some sort of end-of-life disposal service for their products. If you're unable to find someone to take your computer off your hands or your computer is in a non-functional condition, consider contacting the manufacturer for safe disposal options. However, note that not all manufacturers behave equally ethically when disposing of old computers. Some ship computer waste to landfills in the developing world, where it becomes an environmental and health hazard for the local community. Before handing your computer over to your manufacturer, try to research it's ethical record with regards to computer recycling and disposal. Some companies, such as Dell and HP, now offer to recycle your old computer for free when you buy a new one from them. If you have yet to buy your new computer and you're interested in purchasing from the same company as before, consider this option, as it allows you to leave the process of finding a responsible means of disposal to the experts while (possibly) receiving a discount on your new computer. Today, many independent companies exist for the purpose of processing, recycling, and disposing of computer waste. Some are philanthropic organizations, some are non-profits, and some are for-profit. Search for local companies in your area - you may be able to dispose of your computer for free or may need to pay a disposal fee, depending on which types of services are available. However, note that, like computer manufacturers, some e-waste recycling and disposal companies have less-than-stellar business practices. Be a responsible consumer by researching the companies you choose for your disposal needs. Make sure your computer will not end up in a landfill in China before handing it over. Before disposing of your computer, consider whether you have any uses for the case, accessories, or any internal components. For instance, if disposing of several computers of the same model, you might consider using the cases as oversize building blocks for a makeshift...

TL;DR in English: Contact the manufacturer. Trade your computer in when you buy a new one. Use a computer recycling or disposal firm. Salvage any usable parts before disposal.

Squeeze the clear section of the applicator tube. It has a small ampoule inside that releases part of the glue inside the applicator, similar to a 2-part epoxy.  While you're squeezing, do not point the glue at the patient. Keep it away from the patient and point it at the floor. After squeezing, release the pressure. Once you release the tube from breaking the ampoule, you need to squeeze the same area again. However, use gentle pressure this time, as you don't want to squeeze the ampoule a second time. This action pushes the adhesive into the internal filter.  If you crush the tube too hard, you can push pieces of glass through the sides, injuring yourself. Shake the tube gently to encourage the glue to flow downwards. You will need another person to help you. Each person should hold one end of the wound with forceps. Grasp the skin about 2 millimetres (0.079 in) out from the ends of the wound. Pull outwards on the corners of the wound so that the edges of the cut are tight against each other. Adson forceps are small forceps often used to suture the skin. Use ones with teeth, as they provide more grip. Run the applicator over the length of the wound, applying glue in a single, steady layer. The applicator should be touching the skin. Hold the skin together for at least 180 seconds to ensure the glue begins to dry. Apply the glue only on top of the wound, not in the wound.  Wipe up any excess glue immediately using sterile gauze. Be careful when applying the glue, as it can stick almost anything to the skin. For instance, it will adhere your gloves or the forceps to the skin if you're not careful. If you are going to add a second layer, add it after the first layer has dried for 30 seconds. Run the applicator over the wound a second time.  There are 2 types of Dermabond, Dermabond Adhesive and Dermabond Advanced Adhesive. If you have the advanced formula, you should only apply 1 layer. When applying Dermabond Adhesive, thin layers are better because a thick layer can heat up, causing the patient discomfort. ...

TL;DR in English: Crush the ampoule in the clear part of the tube. Squeeze the clear part of the tube again gently. Grasp each end of the wound with Adson forceps. Apply a single layer of Dermabond over the wound. Add a second layer in 30 seconds for Dermabond Adhesive. Wait for the glue to set if you want to apply a bandage. Avoid using liquid or cream medications on the wound after application. Use petroleum jelly or acetone if you need to remove excess Dermabond.

Gnats love fruits that have started to get a little ripe—the sweet smell attracts them by the dozens. When you can, store fruits in the fridge. If you notice that fruit on the counter is starting to rot or attract bugs, throw it out or compost it. Similarly, if you collect food scraps for composting, don’t leave the bucket or bowl exposed in the kitchen. Use a covered container, or take scraps directly outside to the compost heap. Gnats love moist areas, especially if any food bits are laying around. Make it a goal to wash your dishes or load them into the dishwasher right after you eat. At the least, make sure to clean the dishes and your sink at the end of each day to prevent dirty dishes from attracting gnats.  Don’t leave prepared food sitting out on the counter for longer than 30 minutes. Store food in reusable containers and put them into the fridge as soon as possible. If you have a garbage disposal, make sure to run it after rinsing off your dishes so that food scraps don’t accumulate in there. You may not need to do this in rooms where food isn’t getting thrown away, but in your kitchen, it can definitely help keep away gnats to take the trash out at the end of each day. Similarly, if you have open trash cans outside, make sure they aren’t located next to any windows. The gnats could be attracted to the trash and then find their way indoors through the window. If you notice gnats congregating around your favorite houseplant, that might mean its soil is too damp and needs to dry out a little bit. Set it outside or in a garage or shed for a few days until the soil starts to dry out. If this doesn’t work, you may want to repot your plants in fresh soil. On the flip side, there are a few plants that repel gnats. These can be potted and kept indoors, or you can plant then outside if you struggle with gnat infestations outdoors. Geraniums, lemon thyme, lavender, and marigolds are the best natural repellants.

TL;DR in English: Throw out fruit that has started to rot or keep fresh produce in the fridge. Keep your sink clean and clear of dirty dishes. Empty the trashes in your home daily if there are food scraps in them. Move plants with damp soil outdoors if they’re attracting gnats.

Sometimes, it's just a thin layer of ink that has dried over the nib, and the ink inside the pen is just fine. If there is dried ink covering the nib, use your fingernail to gently scratch the ink off. A thin layer of dried ink can prevent fresh ink from flowing out. This will help dislodge any blockage that is inside the ink. Once you have given the pen a few shakes, try drawing with it and seeing if any ink comes out. This may require you to remove the top and bottom sections, depending on how the pen is designed. Use something long and thin, such as a knitting needle or a chopstick to remove the clot. You can use a few drops of water or a non-acetone nail polish remover. If the ink inside the pen has mostly dried out and you can't restore it, you can try pouring in fresh correction ink. Get a bottle of white correction ink, and pour a little bit into the pen capsule. If necessary, seal any parts that don't stay together with super glue. Sometimes, a correction ink pen won't write simply because the little ball in the tip is stuck. You can loosen it in two ways:  Draw circles with it in a small puddle of olive oil or baby oil. Soak the tip in a cup of warm water for about 10 minutes.

TL;DR in English: Check the nib first. Try scratching dried ink off of the nib. Give the pen a shake and test it out. Take the pen apart if the blockage is inside the tube. Consider thinning the ink out inside. Consider refilling the ink with fresh ink. Put the pen back together and give it a shake. Know what to do if the ball point is simply stuck.

While you might love the idea of snuggling up with your feline friend at bedtime, keep hyperactive kittens out of the bedroom until they've matured or adapted to your schedule.  When the time comes for bed, close the door and do not let your cat in. He may cry or scratch at the door for a bit, but as long as you do not reward the behavior by letting the cat in, he should stop.  If your kitten keeps scratching at the door for prolonged periods, try creating a device to deter him from going to the door. Try putting double-sided tape near the door, or vinyl carpet cover with the knobby side pointed upward. Sometimes, kittens disrupt owners' sleep because they miss the warmth of their mothers and siblings. If your cat wants to crawl into bed with you, try warming the cat's blanket in the dryer for twenty minutes before bedtime. Sometimes the most annoying part of a hyper kitten is the noise its toys make. Packing away the toys reinforces that night is time for sleeping instead. If the kitten is still active at night, provide quiet, soft toys instead of hard toys or anything that squeaks or jangles. If you have the space, set up the quiet nighttime toys in a separate area of your home. Choose a location with an appealing distraction, such as a quiet film or radio, or a window with a view of an outdoor light. Paying attention to hyper kittens encourages them to keep up that behavior. If a kitten bugs you to the point that you start playing with it, feeding it, or giving it some type of attention, it will repeat that behavior over and over, because it's trained you to respond! The first few nights will be difficult, but ignoring the kitten is the best way to teach it that you are not available 24/7. While not a quick fix, this type of training is important for a kitten’s future. Your kitten needs to learn early on that it cannot initiate feeding or play at any time of day. It may seem counter-intuitive, but if ignoring your kitten doesn't stop it from bugging you, reach out and give it a massive hug. You’ll notice...

Make plans to see friends regularly. Say “yes” to invitations to hang out or socialize. Be a good listener to your friends. Value high quality friends over having lots of friends.

Home improvement stores usually stock sheeting, as do some paint stores and auto parts shops. Cover up any areas near the hood that you don’t want painted. Masking tape is good for covering the edges around the hood. Plastic sheeting is better for covering large areas. No matter what type of paint you use, the fumes are unpleasant and dangerous to inhale. Moving the car to an open, outdoor location is a good idea, but you should still put on a respirator mask to be safe. Safety goggles and gloves are also helpful. You have most likely seen spray paint for sale at various stores. Using it is as simple as pointing and spraying. You will need a can of primer and a can of colored paint. If you want to add more detail to the hood, also get another color of paint. You can get paint guns relatively cheaply online or at home improvement stores. A gun gives you more control, helping you create more even paint layers. You will need to get liquid paint and mix it according to the instructions on the label. Hold the primer canister about 8 to 12 in (20 to 30 cm) above the hood. Start at 1 end and slowly move the can or gun in a straight line towards the other end. Then reverse, overlapping this second stroke with your first one. Continue spraying back and forth to cover the entire hood. Another way to do this is with a quality liquid primer. Spread it over the hood with a plastic paint spreader. For primer, wait between 2 to 5 minutes before applying more. Each can of primer or paint requires some waiting for the product to settle on the hood. Check the instructions on the can to remind yourself of how long to wait. Don’t wait too long, though. The primer should only be allowed to dry after you’re done adding more of it. Spray on more primer, waiting a few minutes after each layer. Apply it the same way you did the first one. Move in slow, even strokes. The primer should be nice and thick before you paint. Wait a whole day to ensure that the primer settles. To protect it, cover the car with a drop cloth purchased online...

TL;DR in English: Cover the rest of the car with tape and plastic sheeting. Wear a respirator when painting the car. Use spray paint for a quicker and cheaper paint job. Purchase a paint gun for a more professional paint job. Spray primer over the hood. Wait up to 5 minutes after applying a layer. Add 3 or more layers of primer. Wait 24 hours for the primer to dry.

Use industrial strength traps to remove the rats from your home. Avoid poisons, because the rats might die in walls or other hard to reach areas where you won’t find them. Continue trapping rats for a week or until you no longer have any rodents. Wear rubber or latex gloves. Spray the dead rat with a disinfectant or a combination of one part bleach and ten parts hot water. Allow this to remain on the dead rat for five minutes. Seal the rat with the paper towel in a plastic bag. For safety, put this bag in a second bag. Dispose of the rat in a covered garbage receptacle that is emptied regularly. Spray the area of your floor where the rat was with a solution of 1.5 cups (360 mL) of chlorine bleach and one gallon (5.678 L) of hot water. Wipe the floor down thoroughly with a paper towel and dispose of the paper towel immediately. Also dispose of the gloves you wear for cleaning up the rat and the floor or wash them well in soap and hot water. Carefully wash your hands with plenty of disinfecting soap and hot water.

TL;DR in English: Trap the rats. Remove dead rats. Scoop up the dead rat with a paper towel. Clean up after rat removal.

Schedule in time to connect with your friends, even if you feel you are always busy. Make time for your friends so you can maintain an active social life. For example, you can try making regular coffee dates with a friend once a month on the same day so you can schedule around it. Or you may host game nights at your house with friends once a week so you all get to see each other. Do not shy away from spending quality time with your friends. Be open to trying new things and socializing with friends regularly. Opt for saying “yes” rather than “no” to invitations to hang out. You should also try to be on time and follow through if you agree to hang out with friends. Don’t be flaky or bail at the last minute unless you have a good reason. Friendship is all about give and take. Being a good friend, and keeping your friends, means listening to them when they need it. Try to listen to your friends if they need someone to talk to. Be there for them emotionally when they need it. You should also try not to judge your friends, as this can cause conflict in the relationship. Instead, listen and support them when they need it. Making good friends and maintaining a healthy social life takes time. Connecting to a lot of people may be challenging. Instead, focus on making one or two friends that you like and appreciate, or find a small group of people that you connect with on a deeper level.

Pomade is a thick, waxy hair styling product with a strong hold. If you want your hair to look shiny when it’s slicked back, look for a pomade that says “high shine” on the label. If you don’t want your hair to look shiny, get a pomade that says “matte finish” on the label. If you have thick or wavy hair, look for a pomade that has an extra strong hold. Once your hair is wet, let it air dry for a few minutes so it’s only slightly damp. It will be easier to work the pomade into your hair when it’s damp. It’s best to start out with a small amount of pomade and add more after if you need it. Rub the pomade between your hands so your palms and fingers are covered. Work the pomade into your hair so that all your long hair has pomade on it. Make sure you get down near your scalp and not just on the surface of your hair. Place the comb or brush at the start of your hair on your forehead and brush it back through your hair all the way to the back of your neck. Bring the comb or brush back to your forehead and brush back a different section of your hair. Repeat until all of the long hair on the top of your head has been brushed back. Start at your forehead and bring your hands back to your neck. Don’t work your fingers into your hair or pieces of your hair might lift up. If there are any pieces of your hair sticking up, use your hands to flatten them into place.

TL;DR in English: Purchase a pomade. Take a shower, use a spray bottle, or wet your hair down in the sink. Scoop out a dime-size amount of pomade with your finger. Run your hands through the long hair on top of your head. Use a comb or brush to brush your hair back. Run your hands over the top of your hair to finish slicking it back.

Practice mindfulness while eating. Mindfulness is not a diet but a way to be present while eating, break bad habits and bring awareness to habits around eating. Mindfulness encourages you to know when we are truly full and pay attention to your body’s signals that you are full. The benefit of mindfulness eating is decreases over eating meals as well as desserts.  To help with mindfulness, try something new. Often we eat the same breakfast, lunch, and dinner on a regular basis. Try to switch it up with new recipes or vegetables and meats you don't normally eat. Pay attention to each bite. This includes looking at your food, enjoying the look, savory each bite, and spending a moment after to enjoy the experience. Turn off the TV and avoid other distractions so you can enjoy each bite. Your brain needs time to register it is full after a meal. It takes time for the brain to retrieve signals from the digestive hormones. It differs from person to person, but it is recommended to wait 20 to 30 minutes before eating dessert. If you find that you are craving sweets, try an alternative activity that alleviates your emotional triggers or helps provide that break between a meal and something sweet. If you are bored and you want to grab that bag of candy just to fill the time, try one of these other activities:  Take a walk Try mediation Write in a journal Chew sugar-free gum Another strategy for avoiding sweets is to limit access to temptation. This could be removing it completely or putting it out of sight.  Research shows that removing items or at least making it harder to access them decreases consumption. It provides more time to think about if you really, really need or want the sweet. You can try:  Throwing away all sweets and sugar in your house. Hide sweet items on the top shelf making it harder to reach. Place healthier items in sight, such bowl of fruit on the counter instead of a cookie jar.

TL;DR in English: Practice mindful eating. Take a break before dessert. Find an alternative activity. Limit access.

Consider raising your prices or start advertising in new markets. Identify weak spots in customer service, outreach, and quality control to make sure that you have happy, paying customers.  For example, if you run a salon, you might raise prices by a few dollars to increase your income. You can also offer incentives to customers who refer friends to your salon by giving them a small discount. If you have old inventory that you can’t sell, try reducing the price so that you can sell it. If you regularly have clients with large orders, you may want to require a deposit when they book your services. This works well for companies such as construction, catering, or event planning. Fewer expenses mean a lower outflow of cash. Examine your outflow carefully to see if there are any unnecessary expenses you may be paying.  For example, you may notice that you are paying too much in rent. Consider moving your business to a cheaper area to lower the cost. If you rely on services from other vendors, see if you can negotiate a lower price for their services. If not, shop around to see if you are getting the best deal for your money. Your customers should have a clear idea of when they must pay for your services as well as any late fees or penalties that they must pay. Put these in writing at the beginning to ensure that your clients pay on time.  For example, if you run a catering company, you might tell your customer that you want a $100 deposit upfront. They must then pay the rest of the tab within 7 days of the event. If you run a store, have signs at the register indicating any return fees or discounts. If you don’t get paid, you can’t increase your cash flow. Make sure that you invoice your clients quickly after completing a transaction.

Before you begin snow blowing, stand outside and feel the wind against your face. When you snow blow, you should move in the direction of the wind. Snow blowing against the wind will result in snow blowing against your face while you work.  If you can't tell the direction of the wind, try licking your finger and then holding in front of your face. The wetness will help you feel the wind better. You can also throw a handful of loose snow up in the air. The direction it lands is the direction that the wind is blowing. Look at moving or waving objects, such as trees, flags, or wind chimes. If they're bending  or turning a certain way, it means that the wind is pushing them in that direction. You need to blow the snow away from your driveway. Ideally, you should blow the snow as far into the yard as possible. Check your snow blower's capability to see how far you can blow snow using the highest setting. Plan to twist the nozzle as necessary to get the snow into the appropriate spot in your yard.  Aim to blow the snow towards an unused area of your yard. Avoid blowing the snow into places like walkways or near the mailbox. Remember that the pile of snow will melt in spring, so try to blow the snow towards an area that has good drainage. Make sure your snow blower does not blow the snow too far out. You don't want to use a setting that would blow your snow into a neighbor's yard. Be sure to check the condition of the snow blower before using it. You may have to make some adjustments depending on the snow blower's condition and your driveway. Check the following:  Check the machine's oil before every use (applies to 4 cycle engines). Snow blowers can often burn oil without smoking, and the lack of the proper amount and/or correct type of oil can kill your machine quickly. Fill the machine with fuel before starting, to avoid breaking your routine and walking back to your garage just to re-fuel. This should be done outdoors to prevent vapor build-up. Do not add fuel to a hot engine; a snow blower's engine must be...

TL;DR in English: Determine which direction the wind is blowing. Choose a place for the snow to build up. Prepare the snow blower.

You’ll most likely be feeding a wide variety of guests, including babies, adults and kids of varying ages, so plan accordingly. Serve food that appeals to everyone. Remember, some of your guests may not have teeth yet! Also be aware of your guests’ dietary needs, including known allergens and religious restrictions. Your child, and many of the guests, won’t know how to use a fork or hold a plate. Consider easy to eat, one- or two-bite foods.  Cheese cubes Individual sweets Mini sandwiches Fruit pieces Pizza, although it’s a little difficult for toddlers to eat without some help Sure, plenty of it will end up on your child’s face and hands, but it’s a classic photo opportunity and, well, everyone loves cake. Ask your local bakery for theme suggestions, too. Or, you can bake a cake yourself. Your child won’t understand more complex and cooperative activities yet, so plan a short, simple activity that makes them the focus, but includes all of your guests.  Have guests take turns reading from your child’s favorite book. The fun part for guests can be acting out the text and reading it to your baby in different voices. Have a sing-a-long. Your child probably enjoys hearing music, and having your guests participate in singing their favorite songs is a great way to include everyone. Your soon-to-be 1 year-old doesn’t really understand yet how to interact with other babies, so don’t plan games or group activities that would be only be suitable for older kids. Also consider your guest list. If you’re having a lot of somewhat older kids, consider a separate activity space for them with art projects, books and suitable toys. Small bags of candy are a great way to say “thanks” for making your baby’s day a special one. You can customize them based on age. For example, you can put dark chocolates or something more even more elegant in the adult favors, while kids will be perfectly content with milk chocolate and sugary sweets. It’s always best to avoid giving sweets to babies, so substitute a small, cuddly toy for your...

TL;DR in English: Keep your menu simple. Serve finger foods. Have a birthday cake. Plan a game or activity that includes everyone. Plan additional games and activities based on your guest list. Give everyone a party favor.

See what common interests you have before initiating a conversation, so you have something to talk about. If most of his profile is set to private, you can ask him about his favorite movie or book to help get the conversation started. For instance, you could say, "I see your profile is set to private, so I'm curious why you're hiding your favorite book from people. What do you like to read?" Most people are willing to chat for a few minutes if you need some help. So ask for help with a problem you're having. If you don't actually have one, you could ask something about Facebook, such as the following: "I can never figure out how to break up my paragraphs in a post without making the post send. Do you know how to do that?" If you're new to the area (or even if you're not), try asking him for restaurant recommendations as a way to open up the conversation. Try asking a question such as "Hi, I'm new to the area. Can you recommend any good Japanese or Thai places in the area?" If he says yes, ask him if he'd be willing to meet you at one. That is, ask him if you've met him before. You can mention a place you go often. He'll say "no," but you can move on from there. For instance, you could say, "Have I met you before? You look so familiar. Do you go the Panera Bread on 10th Street?" People love to laugh, so you can draw him in by making him laugh. The best jokes are ones that will connect you. If you see he likes the same sports team as you, you could make a joke about how bad the team is doing, such as "I noticed you liked our local baseball team. They're doing so bad this year, I think my kid's little league team could beat them." People like to hear good things about themselves. Pick something you notice on his profile. It can be about his appearance, but it doesn't have to be. In fact, studies show that compliments not focused on appearance work best. You could comment on his taste in books: "You have great tastes in books! I loved The Ocean at the End of the Lane, too."

TL;DR in English:


Choose the right mattress. Choose the right pillow. Keep your bedding clean. Make your bed. Set the proper temperature. Dress appropriately. Keep noise and distractions to a minimum.

As the Spotter, always bet the minimum and focus on keeping count of the cards. When the true count is high and the odds are in your favor, signal your team manager or the Gorilla.  As a Spotter, use subtle signals to avoid detection, such as positioning your foot under the table in a specific way.  Try not to fluctuate your betting amounts and avoid drawing attention to yourself. As a rule, your Big Player should be able to bet 8 times or more the size of the each Spotters' bet. Back-Spotters are particularly helpful in crowded casinos where there is little table room. Although you’re not playing, you are still responsible for keeping count and signaling the team when the Gorilla should join a table. As a Back Spotter, you can be more liberal with your signals (such as hand motions) since you won't standout as easily, but still exercise caution. The Gorilla should be the person that doesn't have the skill (or desire) to count. As the Gorilla, you move between tables and bet the maximum wager when the tables are hot. If you have a boisterous friend that likes to throw their money around, they're a great choice for the Gorilla. Keep your bets consistently high and don't be afraid to act aggressive and loud. As the Big Player, your job is to play with the same wagers as the Gorilla but in a more skillful way that takes attention off the team. When Spotters or Back-Spotters find a hot table, they will signal you to come and play.  If the table puts you at a big advantage, consistently bet high amounts. But if you're only at a slight advantage, spread your bets and increase them as your advantage (the true count) rises. Remember that the Big Player should be able to bet 8 times or more the bet of each Spotter you have playing.

TL;DR in English: Select a Spotter to keep count of the deck at a specific table. Choose a Back-Spotter to watch the tables from afar. Select the least talented poker player as the Gorilla. Choose the most skilled player for the Big Player.

Dryer balls will work the exact same way as the sheets or fabric softener. They are designed to soften clothes without the use of chemicals. Add 1-2 dryer balls to your machine when you transfer your wet clothes to the dryer and run your dryer cycle as you normally do. Dryer balls also minimize the amount of contact fabrics have with one another in the machine. Electrical charges build up in fabric as one piece rubs up against another, so minimizing this contact also minimizes static. When your drying cycle has 10 minutes remaining, pause it. Switch the dryer to the lowest heat setting and throw a clean, damp washcloth into the machine. Turn the cycle back on and finish it. The water will absorb some of the electrical charges from the dryer and encourage clothes to remain soft and cling-free. This is essentially the same thing as misting your clothes with water after they dry. As you remove each item of clothing from your dryer, give them 2-3 quick shakes. This prevents static from setting in as your clothes are placed on another surface. This only works if you take your clothes out immediately after they’ve finished drying. Instead of running your clothes through the machine, dry them by hanging them on a clothesline or closet rod. Take each item out of the machine after it has finished washing and hang it on the line or rod with a hanger or clothespins. Alternatively, you can run the dryer through half of a cycle to partially dry your clothes and then air dry them for the remainder of the time.  A good portion of the electrical build-up responsible for static cling occurs when wet clothes are completely dried out using heat. Air drying prevents clothing from becoming extremely dry, which also prevents it from developing too much of an electrical charge. For an added layer of cling removal, hang your clothes on metal hangers to air dry them.

TL;DR in English: Add a dryer ball to your dryer before adding your wet clothes. Add a damp washcloth to the last 10 minutes of the drying cycle. Shake your clothes when removing them from the dryer. Air dry your clothes to avoid static altogether.

Talking to someone for the first time can be very nerve wracking and intimidating. Look for an opportunity to confidently introduce yourself, and see if you can strike up a conversation with him.  One of the easiest conversation topics is school. If you are in the same class with him, talk to him about a difficult homework assignment or an upcoming test. You may find out that he loves history class, or is not fond of gym.  If there is an upcoming assembly meeting, grab a close friend to be your wing-person, and go sit next to your crush at the assembly. This will give you an opportunity to not only get to know your crush, but maybe get to know some of his friends as well.  Don’t feel obligated to talk about the lovely weather, instead, try talking about something that genuinely interests you or that you are passionate about. This will help you portray more confidence in what you are saying, and give insight into your personality. You cannot just talk to your crush once, and claim that your work is done. Friendships and relationships take a lot of work and effort to blossom and maintain. So if you talked to him in class, continuing talking to him in class, or even in the hallways between classes.  After a few conversations, maybe even casually exchange phone numbers, become friends on social media, or send him an instant message online. Use whatever method you are comfortable with to keep the conversation going. Don’t be overly pushy. Sometimes, a guy just might not be interested in pursuing a relationship or even a friendship with you. If it seems like he is not interested in making conversation with you, it might be best to cut your losses and move on. Don’t play emotional games, or try to stir up drama to get him to notice you. You might successfully catch his attention by doing this, but immature games and acts will become tiring over time. Sometimes the key to winning a person’s heart is by getting along with their friends. Make an effort to learn who his friends are, and get to know them. This will show...

TL;DR in English: Introduce yourself, and make small talk with him. Keep the conversation flowing as time passes. Get to know his friends. Get to know him by asking him questions. Take time to also talk about yourself. Become his friend.

By far the biggest nutritional problem seen in pet dogs is obesity. You should always follow feeding recommendations from the food manufacturer when feeding your dog. This means actually using a measuring cup to measure the correct amount of food on a daily basis. There is usually a recommended feeding allowance on the food can or bag. Follow this advice and limit treats to one or two a day and your dog should remain fit. Adult dogs over a year should be fed two times a day. Dogs older than two years can be fed once a day. Large breed dogs or dogs with large chests should be fed small meals two to three times a day to prevent bloat, and never exercised immediately after eating. This can be a serious medical issue for some dogs. Puppies younger than three months need to be fed their daily allowance split into three or four feedings. Puppies younger than a year need to be fed two to three times a day. By watching your dog's body condition you can gauge if your dog is at its ideal weight or if it needs to lose a few pounds or, more rarely, gain a few pounds. A dog at its ideal weight will have a “tuck” in its abdomen. Looking from the side its abdomen will slope up towards its back legs. Looking from the top it will have a healthy hourglass figure. When you feel the ribs with your hands you will easily feel each rib through a modest fat covering.  Thin dogs will have an extreme tuck and you will be able to easily feel the ribs--in dogs with short hair you will be able to see the ribs. If a dog is thin try adding 10% of its normal food allowance to its daily diet. In overweight or obese dogs the tuck will disappear and the ribs will be difficult to feel (overweight) or nearly impossible to feel (obese). If a dog is overweight or obese take away 10% of its normal food allowance. Check your dog's body condition score again in four weeks. If it's still thin or fat, adjust the diet by 10% again. Consult your veterinarian if you have any concerns.

TL;DR in English: Follow the manufacturer's feeding recommendations. Feed adult dogs one to two times a day. Feed puppies more frequently. Alter the amount of food based on your dog's body condition.

You will need a long sleeved black shirt, black pants, a long piece of black felt for the wings, and hot glue or sewing supplies. To find out how much felt you need, measure yourself from wrist to wrist with your arms stretched out. Next, measure the distance from the top of your back to your waist. Use these measurements to choose a rectangular piece of felt.  If you want to make a more feminine bat costume, use a long-sleeve dress instead of a shirt and pants.  Felt can be found at most craft supply stores. If you use another kind of fabric you will have to use a sewing kit to attach the wings. First, fold the felt in half lengthwise. Next, cut the bottom edge of the mask into a jagged bat wing. The jagged edge should be longer near the center fold and shorter near the edges. When unfolded, the fabric will resemble a long triangle. If you want to go for a cute look cut the edges into a scalloped pattern instead of a jagged lightning pattern. Lay the shirt or dress out flat on your work surface. Stretch the sleeves out, making a straight line from wrist to wrist. Lay the wing fabric on the shirt with the long side of the triangle resting on the shoulders and arms. Center the fabric so that the tips of the wings reach each wrist. Use straight pins to secure the fabric if you’re worried about the wings shifting. Straight pins can be found in most sewing supply kits. Apply a small circle of glue between the shoulder blades of the shirt or dress. Press the wing fabric onto the glue. Next, apply a circle of glue to each wrist and press the wingtips into them. Once the glue cools the costume is ready to wear. If you aren’t using felt for your wing fabric you must sew on the wings. Add a few stitches where you would normally use glue. Carefully put on the winged shirt, pants, and black shoes. If you used a dress, put on the dress and pair it with cute black shoes. If you made a paper mache mask, tie the mask tightly around your head. You don’t have to wear a mask if you don’t want to. Instead, purchase black cat...

TL;DR in English: Gather your supplies. Cut jagged edges in the felt. Center the wing fabric on the shirt or dress. Glue or sew the fabric. Assemble the outfit.

Some people sleep better on firmer mattresses, while others prefer softer ones. You can choose whatever type feels best to you. Whatever material or level of firmness you choose, your mattress should feel supportive but comfortable so that you wake up feeling rested.  If you feel stiff or have aches upon waking, it can be a sign that a different mattress would help you sleep better. Look for a mattress that provides adequate support for your back and neck in particular.  Cover your mattress with whatever sheets and bedding you find comfortable. Change them in different seasons so that you stay warm or cool as needed. Most mattresses last about eight years, so think about replacing yours if it is old and uncomfortable. If your mattress is uncomfortable and you cannot replace it, you can make things better by using pillows properly. Select a pillow that feels comfortable to you, no matter whether it is soft or firm. You can also use several pillows if you like, but make sure that they do not push your head up at a sharp angle. Whatever position you sleep in, your pillow(s) should keep your head held supported between your shoulders—in the same position it would be in if you were standing up. You will sleep more comfortably knowing your bed is clean. Make sure to wash your bedding as frequently as you are able to, and any time it becomes especially dirty.  Follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing your sheets. If you have a mattress cover, wash it in hot water. You can dust your mattress with baking soda, then vacuum it up a day later. This will draw out moisture. Pillows can be washed or put in your dryer at a high temperature to clean them and kill dust mites. Put clean sheets, blankets, and pillows on your bed, and make sure they are neatly arranged. Also, make sure your bedroom itself is as clean and orderly as possible. Some evidence shows that a clean and orderly bed and bedroom can help you sleep more comfortably, perhaps because of a psychological effect. Your body’s temperature rises and falls...
