Use your hair dryer. Get out the iron. Remove any residue.

You can find this in the owner's manual, on a sticker inside the driver-side door jamb, or in the glove compartment.  It may be the same for all four tires, or the front and rear tires may be different—it differs by model. Normally, it will be in the range of 28 to 36 psi (pounds per square inch) or 195 to 250 kPa (kilopascals). You can also find the maximum tire pressure on the tires themselves, but use this only if you can't find the vehicle's recommended numbers. "Maximum" doesn't necessarily translate to "best." A good rule of thumb is to set the tires to 32 psi. Then find the proper pressure and correct as needed. Warm air expands, and will give you a false reading of greater pressure.

TL;DR in English: Find the recommended pressure. Check the tires when cool.

Use the full, official name of the database. For example, you might cite a database like Peristats. The most common medium is the internet, although other mediums may include CD-Roms, code books, or data files. Do this immediately after the title of the database. Place a period after the last bracket. If you are citing Peristats, it may look like this so far: Peristats [Internet]. First put the city and then write the state in parentheses. Place a colon after the closing parenthesis. This information may be on the overview page of the database or on the website of the creators.  For example, Peristats is based in White Plains, New York. Now your citation might look like this: Peristats [Internet]. White Plains (NY):  You can leave this information out if you can’t find it. This might be an academic publisher, a university, a charitable foundation, or a scientific think tank. This information should be located in the editorial policy, about us page, or readme portion of the database. Place a period after the name. For example, Peristats is published by the March of Dimes Foundation. Therefore the citation might look like this: Peristats [Internet]. White Plains (NY): March of Dimes Foundation. In most cases, you will use the year. If you can find the month you may add an abbreviated form of the month after the year. If data is still being added to the database, place a hyphen after the year. Now your citation might look like: Peristats [Internet]. White Plains (NY): March of Dimes Foundation. 2007 – Choose the latest date that you accessed the information, even if you used it multiple times. In the brackets, add the word "cited" before putting the year, month, and date.  So it might look like: Peristats [Internet]. White Plains (NY): March of Dimes Foundation. 2007 – [cited 2017 Oct 1].  Use only the first three letters of the month to abbreviate it. Instead of January, for example, use Jan. If the database is online, use the URL (which is the address of the website). If not, you should be given a DOI number...

TL;DR in English: State the title of the database first. Write the medium of the database in brackets. Enter the place of publication. State the author, publisher or organization who created the database. Enter the date of publication. Place the date you accessed the database in brackets. State the URL or DOI of the database. Cite the author or creator for in-text citations.

This decision involves focusing both on the severity of the problem, and on the underlying issues that trigger your substance dependence. These underlying issues are what may best be handled with the help of professionals. You may have difficulty with mental or physical health, occupational issues, or social anxiety.The following are outward signs of addiction that might be well addressed by a rehab center.  High tolerance to your drug of choice, and needing larger and larger doses to achieve the same effect. Symptoms of withdrawal that accompany increases in tolerance. If limiting your use causes extreme anxiety, sweating, or nausea, it's likely that you'll need professional assistance to detoxify. Turning to your drug of choice despite telling yourself and others that you want to stop. This is the vicious cycle of using only in order to alleviate the symptoms of withdrawal. Being unable to keep up your drug habit and put time and energy into other parts of your life. This usually means that you spend much less time with people who do not use with you and are unable to keep up relationships with non-users. Having mounting financial, legal, or professional problems. If you have been fired, penalized or become strapped financially by your drug use, rehab is likely a good idea. Survey your options, and find facilities that you will be able to afford or cover with outside assistance. Costs can be high, especially since it is common to go to rehab facilities that require you to travel. Ask all prospective facilities what kind of insurance they take, and check with your insurance provider to see if your policy covers rehab stays.  Many treatment centers have financial counseling and financing available for qualified patients. So, ask about what sort of payment plan will be available to you. Sometimes state funding is available for people in need of rehab.  A call to your state's social services office will help you find out if you are eligible for some form of subsidized treatment. Then, locate a center with...

TL;DR in English: Determine whether or not rehab is the appropriate action to take. Arrange to cover the financial cost of rehab. Look at specific types of treatments. Consider different activities and therapies offered.

Pick closed screw eyes, which are basically screws with a hanging loop on one end. Put the threaded ends into the holes you made, then twist the screws clockwise by hand. Continue doing this until the base of the loop is about level with the wood.  No matter what kind of lure you’re making, the screws should always be slightly wider than the pilot holes. This helps them stick in place. You can change the screw size according to your lure. If you’re making a big lure, you may wish to use bigger screws for additional strength. Thread a treble hook onto one end of each split ring. Afterward, thread the split rings onto the rear and bottom screw eyes. You can use split-ring pliers to pull open the split rings when connecting them to the hooks and screws.  Split rings are basically open coils. They are often used for keyrings, so look at your house keys for an example of how they work! You could also attach the hooks without using split rings by pulling open their eyelets with a pair of pliers. Be careful to avoid puncturing your fingers if you choose to do this. Although treble hooks are most commonly used on plugs and crankbaits, you could use double hooks instead. Most are designed to slip onto the screw eyes without using split rings. If you’re planning on making something like a sinking lure, you should have an unfilled pilot hole still. Pour BB ammo, buckshot, or small split shot into the hole. Then, fill it up with wood glue or a waterproof putty. Make sure the hole is well-sealed. There are many different types of items you can get to weight down the lure. You could buy a sinker weight from a fishing supply shop, for example, and place it inside the lure. Use a carving knife to notch a slot horizontally across the nose of the lure. Diving lips are often little more than pieces of plastic. You can spread an epoxy glue across the slot, then slide the plastic lip into it. Give it at least an hour to cure before using the lure.  Angle the notch so the lip will point downward after you plug it in. This will...

TL;DR in English: Screw 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) screw eyes into the pilot holes. Attach hooks to the screw eyes using split rings. Fill the lure with ballast if you need to add weight to it. Cut a slot and glue the lip to the lure if you are installing one.

Instead of trying to harden gum by freezing it, you can instead soften it further with heat.  This is faster, but a bit more risky, because you can scorch the cotton or overheat the gum and make an even bigger mess.  Set the dryer on a medium or low setting, and wave it back and forth so no one spot overheats. Keep going until the gum appears to be on the verge of melting. Put gloves on (because the gum may be very hot in spots), and peel the gum away.  If sufficiently heated, it should pull away easily. If you don’t have a hair dryer, or happen to have your iron out anyway, you can use the latter item to soften and peel away the gum.  Once again, though, be careful not to scorch the garment or melt the gum into a puddle of sticky goo.  Place a piece of cardboard on your ironing board.  Place the garment, gum side down, on top of the cardboard. Set your iron to medium to prevent scorching or overheating.  Run the iron over the back side of the gum spot as you normally would. Check your progress occasionally.  When the gum is sufficiently heated, it should peel right away from the clothing and stick instead to the cardboard. The process for removing any remaining stickiness or residue is the same whether you freeze or heat the gum off. Blot, wipe, or lightly scrub away any gum remnants with a color- and fabric-safe spot cleaner or with laundry detergent, then launder as usual.

TL;DR in English:


Ask another person for help. Search online. Wait for the person to reveal his name. Confess your situation to the person.

This is a very important distinction, as restricting your students to only five vowel sounds, as opposed to the over 14 possible different vowel sounds in English, will ensure they are pronouncing Spanish words properly. You should also point out that unlike English, where the context of the word in the sentence affects the pronunciation of that word (i.e. “I live in that house” vs “I saw the band at a live show”), in Spanish the position of the word does not affect the pronunciation of the vowel in the word. For example, take the letter “O”. When you say the letter “O” in English, it can sound like “Oooohwa”. In Spanish, it is much shorter and staccato and will sound like: “Oh.” While this is not an integral detail of learning pronunciation as a beginner, it is important to understand and apply this spoken rule if your student wants to achieve s native-like speaking ability of Spanish. Doing this will give them a guideline to refer back to as they work on getting their vowel sounds right and making them sound more natural.  “A” will always sound like the “a” in “father”. “E” will always sound like the “e” in “elephant”. “I” will always sound like the “e” in “be”. This letter can be confusing as it sounds the same as the letter “e” in English, so clarify this for your students. “O” will always sound like the “o” in “oh” or “October”. It will always sound short and without an “ooh” sound. “U” will always sound like the “u” in “flute” or in the Spanish word “uno”. Once the student is aware of the five basic vowel sounds, they can sound out combinations of these vowels. When two vowels are next to each other, one strong (“a”, “e”, “o”) and one weak (“i”, “u”), or two weak vowels ( “ui”), the student needs to learn to combine the two vowels into a syllable, forming a diphthong. They should make the sound for the first vowel in a word and then make the sound for the second vowel in the word. They should then repeat this faster and faster until it sounds like one syllable. For example:  “ai” or “ay” should sound...

TL;DR in English: Stress that there are only five vowels in Spanish and that they will always be pronounced the same way. Note that Spanish vowels are much shorter than English vowels. Have the student write down the vowel sounds based on English words and say them out loud. Define and discuss diphthongs. Have the student practice pronouncing diphthongs.

Try to ask him out when he’s alone and not surrounded by friends. This will reduce the pressure on both of you, so it’s not a big public moment. If you don’t want to ask him in person, message him after school. It’s probably better not to message at some weird time like 3 in the morning. It can be stressful in the moment, so if you’ve planned what you want to say specifically, there’s less chance you’ll chicken out. It’s best to include a time in your question, instead of a vague, “do you want to hang out sometime?”  Try to be direct to avoid confusion: “You seem really cool. Want to go out this weekend?” You can also ask him to a specific activity: “Want to hang out after school sometime this week?” “Want to go get ice cream on Friday?” Try to avoid asking him to the movies for a first date, because you won’t be able to talk very much in the theatre. A dinner date might also be too much pressure. It’s okay to be nervous when you’re asking him out. It’s actually a good sign, because it means you really like him. If you’re feeling scared, ask your friends for support. Write down 5 qualities about yourself that you admire. It might help to give yourself a deadline to ask him out, so you don’t keep putting it off forever. Practice giving yourself affirmations like, “You can do it!” Remember to smile and make eye contact. Start by saying hi and a casual question, like “how’s your day going?” Then move on to asking him out. If you chicken out the first time you try, just try again! Remember, you’ll never know if he wants to go out if you don’t ask. Write the note ahead of time and fold it up. Give him the note directly, instead of passing it to him in class with a lot of people in between. You don’t want the whole class to read your note! Keep it short and simple. There’s no need to write a whole love letter at this point. If he says that he’s busy, but suggests another time to meet, then that probably means he’s interested. But if he says no, respect his decision. It doesn’t feel good to be rejected, but it’s...

TL;DR in English: Pick the right time and place. Plan what you are going to say ahead of time. Give yourself a pep talk. Ask him in person, when there aren’t too many people around. Ask him out with a text or a note if you’re feeling shy. Be prepared for a yes or a no.

The size of the pan and the amount of milk will depend upon the quantity of fish you wish to cook at one time.  The pan should be large enough to accommodate all of the fillets with some room for your spatula, and there should be enough milk to just cover the filets.  Alternatively, half heavy cream and half water may be used. Do not use water alone, as it will pull the flavor out of the fish. Grind fresh black pepper directly into the milk to give the haddock a little extra flavor boost.  This is a good time to add other spices if desired.  Other spices may include bay leaf, onion, garlic, parsley, or even dill. Do not boil the milk, but heat it to just before boiling.  If the milk begins to boil over, remove it from the heat immediately until it settles.  Once the milk has heated, reduce the heat to prevent boiling. Place the fish in the nearly-boiling milk, arranging the fish filets around the pan and ensuring that they are covered in milk. Allow the fish to simmer in the milk for about 10 minutes on medium heat.  Alternatively, very small fillets of fish may be cooked in milk that has been removed from the heat.  To do this, remove the pan from the heat and cover it after the fish have been placed inside. When the fish are done, they will have become completely opaque, and the meat should flake apart easily. If the fish looks translucent or pieces do not come free with a gentle tug, cook the fish a bit longer. Be sure to check the widest part of the largest fillet to ensure the fish is cooked.  The tapered ends of smaller fillets will be done more quickly than others. Poached smoked haddock, typically a British dish, is traditionally served with fresh baked bread and butter.  The milk is strained off to use as a sauce, and the bread is used to mop up excess sauce off of your plate. The haddock can also be flaked and used in other recipes such as fish pie or Kedgeree.

TL;DR in English: Fill a pan with some milk. Season with some pepper. Heat the milk. Add the haddock. Cook the haddock. Check the haddock. Serve the haddock while still hot.

If you have some cornstarch on hand in your kitchen, mix a tablespoon (15 mL) of cornstarch with a tablespoon (15 mL) of water. Mix this into your curry while it's boiling to get it to thicken. If necessary, you can add a bit more water and cornstarch if your curry doesn't thicken with one tablespoon (15 mL) of each. Two tablespoons of flour (30 mL) mixed with two tablespoons (30 mL) of a cooking fat like butter can thicken curry. Remove a cup of curry (240 mL) and mix it with your flour and cooking fat mixture. Return the curry to the main pot and mix it in to thicken your curry. You can add in a bit more flour if your curry doesn't thicken the first time. Arrowroot thickens curry just like cornstarch. Add a tablespoon (15 mL) of arrowroot to your curry and then mix it in. If your curry doesn't thicken, add a little bit more at a time until you get the right consistency.

TL;DR in English: Try cornstarch. Use flour and cooking fat. Add arrowroot.

In a social setting, ask the host or hostess. If the other person has signed in, ask if you can see it. You can explain your reason to the host or hostess simply by confessing your situation.  Ask a friend. If you're attending a social gathering, chances are that someone else in the room knows the person's name. Discreetly ask a friend what the person's name is. If you don't get a chance to ask your friend during the social gathering, ask them later. If you're in a bar, restaurant or other public setting, and person seems to know the location well, people who work there may know the person's name. Ask them to help you. You can explain your situation by honestly confessing that you've forgotten the person's name. Usually, people approached in such a manner are eager to help. Eavesdrop on their conversations with others. The person may introduce himself to other people over the course of your time together. Keep alert for any printed material that might have the person's name on it. If you're attending a seated dinner, for instance, you will have place cards. If you're at a trade gathering, the person may have printed materials that he's sharing with others. This is easily done by retreating to a private place, and pulling out your smart phone. Most people have sufficient information about themselves online that online search engines will often reveal someone's name by entering in the information about the person that you do have. Enter the information that you have about a person (the city in which he lives, his college or workplace, any other affiliations that you can think of).  Once you've entered in all the information you can think of about the person into a search engine, search by "image" to narrow down your results. After all, you know what the person looks like - particularly if you're still with him!

Though you may want to jump right into your college essay, you should know exactly what is asked of you before you even open up that blank Word Document. Carefully read the prompt and see what type of essay your teacher wants you to write, specific information to include, how many words are required, and how much research is required for the essay. Consult your rubric to know exactly what your teacher is expecting. Here are some things you should be very clear about before you begin:  Word count. If your essay only needs to be 500 words long, it will be very different from an essay that needs to be 2,000 words long since you may need to be more specific. Be aware of the word requirement and stick to it, or at least within 10% of it. You don't want to weary your teacher by writing an essay that is much longer than required, or much shorter than required. The amount and type of required research. Some classes will require you to write a paper that is heavily based on outside research you've done. Others will require you to use the course materials, like novels, or textbooks, for the basis of your paper, and to draw your own conclusions, though almost every good essay is based on solid research. If you have any questions, talk to your teacher well before the day the assignment is due to clarify any concerns you may have. There are many different types of essays you may have to write in college, and it's good to be aware of the variety of essays out there so you know what is expected of you. Here are the basic types of essays that you should master:   The persuasive/argumentative essay. This essay will ask you to persuade your readers to see your perspective on an issue. For example, an essay showing readers all the reasons why personal handguns should be banned will be a persuasive essay.  The analytical essay. This type of essay is most common in literature courses. This essay will ask you to read a work and to analyze the words, themes, characters, and meaning using your own ideas as well as other scholarly...

Leaky gut is a condition where tiny holes in your intestines allow toxins and bacteria to leak into your body, which can cause other medical conditions like wheezing, allergies, or asthma. These holes may be caused by genetics or your diet. Eat a healthy, high-fiber diet with fresh produce, lean protein, and complex carbs to help your gut. Avoid sugar, cut back on alcohol, and limit saturated fats to help protect your gut. It's best to eliminate processed foods from your diet altogether. If you identify any food triggers, eliminate them from your diet. Walking for 15-20 minutes after your meals may also help treat or prevent leaky gut. Exposing yourself to food allergens and environmental allergens can cause wheezing, and foods that produce mucus can make wheezing worse. Foods that produce mucus include dairy products, bananas, and sugar. If you are not quite certain which foods, pollens, and animal dander (if any) you’re allergic to, ask your doctor to perform an allergy test. Treat seasonal allergies that cannot be avoided with over-the-counter antihistamines. Severe seasonal allergies might need prescription medication. Strong odors aren’t necessarily bad for you when your lungs are healthy, but if your airways are stressed, they may cause those airways to restrict further. Chemical odors, like paint and chemical cleaners, can be some of the biggest culprits, but you should also avoid things like perfumes and heavily scented soaps or shampoo. When inhaled, these potent smells can both cause and worsen wheezing.

TL;DR in English: Take care of your gut to treat or prevent leaky gut. Avoid potential allergens and other wheezing triggers. Stay away from potent smells that can constrict your airways.

As you read through Christian texts, you might notice a number of commonalities to Hindu readings. You might see that both religions emphasize love and surrender, for example. The idea that God is ever-present is another similarity. As you come upon these similarities, make note of them because they can help you weather the transition process. For example, Hindus often emphasize the idea of long-standing devotion to God, including the surrender of one’s body and mind. Christians often teach the same beliefs. Some Hindus choose not to consume meat and, if that was your choice, you can continue to do so as a Christian. There are many Christians who choose to lead a vegetarian lifestyle for personal, health, or religious reasons. You can decide to wear a cross around your neck. Or, you can continue to don the bindi, if you are a woman. If you are a man, you may want to untie the Hindu white thread around your torso, or leave it intact. These are also changes that you can make over time. As you go through the conversion process, you may want to ‘feel out’ your Hindu friends to see how they feel about your choices. If they are supportive, you may be able to open up to them about your struggles. If they are resistant, then you may need to get some distance from them and try to rebuild your relationships later. Depending on the religious restrictions where you live, you may need to contact a local government official to let them know about your conversion. If this is the case, you will generally have to attest that you made this decision out of free will and without being pressured. For example, in India many personal religious changes must be logged by a local oath commissioner. Understand any perils to your personal safety as a result of your decision to convert and take the proper safeguards. In some areas, Christian converts are targeted for violence. Try to determine if your conversion may have a larger impact on your ability to live safely in your current home. Depending on your local situation, if you are...

TL;DR in English: Recognize any Hindu-Christian similarities. Decide whether or not to stay vegetarian. Choose which, if any, religious symbols to wear. Try to stay in touch with your Hindu friends and family. Notify any local officials, as necessary. Be aware of the possibility for backlash.

While natural remedies for moles are mostly harmless, attempting to cut a mole off yourself can leave a permanent scar or cause a dangerous infection. If the mole contains cancer, some of the cancer cells may stay in the skin and spread. You should also see a doctor before you try any natural remedies for your mole to ensure that it is not cancerous. It is always best to see a dermatologist if you wish to remove a mole for cosmetic reasons. The treatments listed below have been used for decades, but they are not scientifically proven. Some may irritate your skin, or even lead to scarring. If you experience irritation, stop the treatment immediately and call your doctor. There are a number of fruits and extracts that have been shown to whiten skin. Though each of these treatments will take several weeks to show an effect, they can be an effective, scar-free way to reduce the appearance of moles, particularly non-raised ones.  Lemon Juice - Citrus fruits contain vitamin C, which promotes collagen production (necessary for the creation of new skin cells), is a powerful antioxidant and has been shown to inhibit skin darkening due to UV exposure. Combine lemon juice with honey and apply to the mole for 15 to 20 minutes, once a day. Wash off with water. Warning: Do not expose the mole to sunlight while treating it. The juice in citrus fruits can react with UV light to cause photodermatitis, a painful condition resulting in a rash, blisters or scaly skin.   Asian Pears - Pears contain arbutin – a naturally occurring form of hydroquinone, which has been proven to be an effective tyrosinase inhibitor. Tyrosinase is an enzyme that helps to produce melanin, the pigment that darkens skin, so inhibiting will produce a skin-whitening effect. The best pear varieties to use are Yaquang, Hongpi, Quingpi, or Guifei. Blend the peel and fruit together along with honey as a binding agent and apply for 15-20 minutes a day, washing off with warm water. Stop if you develop skin irritation. Pineapple - Pineapple fruit contains...

TL;DR in English: Do not cut or shave off moles at home. Know that self-treatment of moles may lead to scarring. Use natural skin whiteners to fade out moles. Apply garlic to the mole. Use apple cider vinegar. Try castor oil or flaxseed oil. Apply aloe vera.

Once you have your cast assembled, sit them all down in your rehearsal venue and have them read through the script. Lead a discussion about your vision for the play, and get thoughts from the actors. Discuss the significance of each scene, and clarify the meaning of each line.  Discuss the characters. Talk with each actor about the character he or she is playing. Have this actor think up a back story for the character, and establish how the character feels about the other characters in the play.  Explain the cast what the set will look like. Agree on a rehearsal schedule, and set expectations for when lines will be memorized. Determine where, roughly, each actor will be on stage in even moment of scene—this is called "blocking" the play. Have the actors write down the blocking in their scripts, and write it in your own. Start by rehearsing with the script. The director should keep a copy of the script on hand at all times. When an actor forgets a line, he or she can say "line" and the director will provide a reminder.  If you are producing a musical, you will need a choreographer who designs the dances for each song. This blocking is much more involved. When blocking, consider the set design. Put tape down on the stage where the curtain will be, where the set pieces will be, and where spotlights will be, and make sure all the actors what part of the stage is what. Run through scenes, run through whole acts, and run through the entire play. Give notes after each rehearsal. After a scene has been practiced, or after a whole act has run, the director should give notes and run through troubled moments. Discuss what scenes are going really well, and what needs to change. Your notes should provide specific guidance.  For example, instead of saying "Romeo, you aren't acting like you're really in love. You look bored onstage," say "Romeo, we need to work on body language. When Juliet is on stage, you should always be facing her. Don't take your eyes off her—she is totally captivating to you." Run through scenes that...

TL;DR in English: Do a first read-through. Block the play and rehearse with the script. Rehearse in stages. Hold tech and dress rehearsals.

Elmer’s glue works best, but any white “school” glue will do. Along with your glue, you’ll need a paintbrush and the nail polish of your choice. Also, you want a small paper plate or something else to pour your glue onto. Pour some glue onto your dish and dip your brush in it. Generously apply the glue around your nails, getting as close to the nail as possible. Paint the glue around the bottom, sides, and top of your nail. If you do happen to get it on your nails, simply use a paper towel to wipe it away before it dries. Go as wide as you deem necessary. If you’re typically a very messy painter, make a wide ring around your nail with glue. Examine your nails to make sure there isn’t any glue on your nails. If you’re sure there isn’t, give the glue 10-20 minutes to dry. When it has dried completely, you’ll see no more white around your nails because the glue turns clear when it dries. Be as messy as you wish around your nails. Don’t be afraid to get as close to the edge of your nails as possible; focus on painting your entire nail. The paint around your nails will land on the glue, which is exactly what you want. Don’t purposely make more of a mess than you normally would; you’ll just end up wasting nail polish. Give your nails sufficient time to dry. This takes anywhere from 2-15 minutes, depending on the polish that you chose. It is very important that you let your nails completely dry. Carefully begin peeling the glue off of your fingers. Do so slowly to be sure that you don’t pull off any polish from your nails along with the glue. Take notes on anywhere you could’ve been more careful with your glue so that you can focus on that area next time.

TL;DR in English:


Focus on activities that interest your child. Teach visual isolation. Play guessing games. Emphasize the vocabulary of estimation. Teach your child to strategize. Be persistent. Reward your child’s progress.

You can access it from the Start menu, or by pressing ⊞ Win+R and typing cmd. ipconfig and press ↵ Enter. There may be several connections listed in the readout, and you may have to scroll up to find your active connection. Default Gateway entry. This is the address for your router. Write it down. You can access your router's configuration page from any web browser as long as your computer is connected to the network. Default Gateway address into the browser's address bar. Routers are protected with an admin login and password. Check your router's documentation or look up the model online to find the default login information.  If you can't figure out how to log in to your router, you can reset it by pressing and holding the Reset button on the back for about 30 seconds. After the router restarts, you will be able to log in with the default admin information. Most default logins use "admin" as the username, and then "admin", "password", or a blank field as the password. Actually defining where the "MAC Filtering" section is located is very difficult, as the location and labeling is different for every router. Generally, you can find the "MAC Filtering" or "Access Control" settings in the "Advanced" section, though it may also be found in the "Security" or "Wireless Settings" sections. Not all routers use MAC address filtering. Some router's limit access based on static IP addresses assigned to each device. Again, the wording and location will vary depending on the router, but you will generally be able to select a "Disable" option to turn off MAC filtering. This may be a checkbox, a button or a selection that you can make. Click the "Apply" or "Save" button to save your changes to the router settings. Your router will apply the changes, which may take a few moments. If you are configuring your router over a wireless connection, you may be logged out when settings changes are saved.

TL;DR in English: Open the Command Prompt. Type . Find your active network connection. Look for the . Open a web browser. Enter the . Log in with your admin account. Open the "Advanced" section and look for "MAC Filtering", "Access Control", or something similar. Disable MAC filtering. Save your changes.

Apologize early and often; admit that you were wrong (if you were) and take responsibility.  Tell him that you were wrong and that you won’t do it (whatever it was) again. And then don’t do that thing again. Don’t use the sorry-not-really-sorry line of “I’m sorry you got so upset.” It shifts the responsibility onto him and makes it sound as if you’re not sorry for your actions, you just wish he wouldn’t get mad about it. If he responds with a--potentially justified--angry text, apologize again. Continue apologizing if he comes at you with more angry responses. Simply say something like, “I’m sorry--I was wrong.” Just apologizing or trying to explain that your intentions were good won’t work.  Saying you’re sorry isn’t enough--you need to show you recognize the negative consequences your actions had on him and that you sincerely regret it.  If he feels like you genuinely understand why your actions made him mad, he’s more likely to feel validated and begin forgiving you. Even if you don’t necessarily think his feelings or reaction is justified, apologize anyway. If you want him to like you again, you want him to see you understand how he’s feeling. Even if you say you’re sorry, it won’t be enough to make him like you again if you then start saying things that will escalate the situation.  Don’t, for example, say anything about thinking his reactions were irrational or unjustified. It will make him feel like you aren’t really sorry and don’t really understand the situation--and he’ll go back to being mad.  Don’t bring up things he’s done to upset you in the past. Turning the conversation into a tit-for-tat about who did what to who isn’t going to diffuse the situation. It will only make it drag on longer and make him less likely to forgive you. Asking for his input on what you can do shows that you’re listening to him and genuinely want to know what would make things better from his perspective. For example, you might say something like, “I know you had to wait 45 minutes for me and that it probably felt like I...

TL;DR in English: Apologize. Show that you understand the impact your actions had on him. Avoid escalating the situation. Ask what you can do to make it up to him. Make him smile. Let him know you’re thinking about him.

Storing a lead-acid battery at a very low charge state can cause permanent crystal formation (sulfation) that reduces capacity. Lithium-ion batteries at low charge can develop copper structures that short the battery, making it dangerous to use. The exact recharge instructions depend on the battery design. Follow these guidelines if you do not have access to manufacturer instructions: Lead AcidRecharge to full whenever voltage drops below 2.07 volts / cell (12.42V for a 12V battery).One charge every six months is typical.   Lithium Ion (Li-ion)Recharge to 30–50% capacity whenever voltage drops below 2.5 V/cell. Do not recharge if voltage drops to 1.5V/cell.One charge every few months is typical. If your rechargeable batteries drop to low charge levels for more than a few days, they will likely require special treatment before you can use them again: Lead AcidThe battery will usually recharge, but with permanently reduced capacity. If a small lead acid battery fails to recharge, apply a very low amount of current at a high voltage (~5V) for two hours.Anti-sulfation devices are not recommended without an experienced operator.   Lithium Ion (Li-ion)The battery may enter "sleep mode" and fail to recharge. Use a charger with a "boost" feature, taking care to apply the voltage with the correct polarity.Never boost a battery that falls below 1.5V/cell for a week or more, as it is permanently damaged and dangerous to use.   Nickel-based (NiMH, NiZn, NiCd)No major issues. Some types may require charging and fully discharging a couple times to return to full capacity.For large scale use, consider a battery analyzer that can "recondition" the battery.

TL;DR in English: Recharge lead acid and lithium-ion batteries periodically. Restore discharged batteries.

Mosquitoes that carry dengue fever most often feed during the day, usually in the early morning and late afternoon hours.  Stay indoors during those times, keep the air conditioning on, and keep screen doors and windows closed. Travel during the times of day when the mosquitoes are less active. Wear full-bodied clothing. Even if it is hot, try to wear long sleeves, long pants, socks and shoes, and even work gloves, when you need to be outside during the times of day when the mosquitoes are more active. Sleep under mosquito netting. Products that contain DEET are reported to be effective. Other insect-repellant products that may be helpful include those that contain picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535. Mosquitoes that carry dengue fever are most often found close to dwellings.  They like to breed in water that is held in artificial containers, like gallon drums, flower pots, pet dishes, or old tires.  Get rid of any standing water containers that are not needed.  Check for hidden sources of standing water. Clogged drains or gutters, wells, manholes, and septic tanks may have areas of standing water. Clean these areas or repair them so they no longer hold unwanted water.  Eliminate containers that hold standing water around or near the outside of your home. Clean flower pot saucers, birdbaths, fountains, and pet dishes at least once a week to get rid of any larva.  Maintain swimming pools and put mosquito-eating fish in small ponds.  Make sure doors and windows have screens that fit tightly, and all doors and windows close properly.

TL;DR in English: Avoid mosquitoes. Take steps to cover your skin. Apply a topical mosquito-repellant product. Inspect your property.

Every child is different, so tailor your activities to suit your child’s particular interests. Make these activities fun! Children tend to have tons of energy but minimal attention spans, so it’s important for the activities you choose to entertain them. Your child may struggle to filter out unnecessary information and focus only on the subject to be estimated. You can teach this skill with simple games. For example, you might put red and blue balls on the floor, then ask your child to guess how many red balls there are (ignoring the blue ones). You can have your child guess how many jelly beans are in a bowl, how many pennies are in a jar, or how many marbles are in a box. Emphasize the need for estimation, not counting or calculation. There are online games that help teach estimation as well. For example, your child can play “Guess It!” at http://www.theproblemsite.com/junior/estimation.asp, where Professor Puzzler will show various groups of colored dots, then take them away and ask for an estimation. This site will let you increase or decrease the amount of time the dots stay on the screen, too, letting you customize the game for your child. Explain to your child that when people estimate, they use words like “about,” “approximately,” or “more or less.” When you play guessing games, encourage your child to use these words and to construct sentences that reflect estimation. Remind your child that estimation is not about random guessing; it’s about making educated predictions. Instead of throwing out random numbers, he or she should use visual cues to get as close as possible. Repetition is key. Children need to practice these skills over and over again in order to master them. Vary the activities so that your child does not get bored, but don’t give up on teaching estimation. Children will be more interested and motivated if you offer a reward. If you play a guessing game with jelly beans, for example, you can give your child a few to eat when he or she makes a good estimate. If you use pennies, let your...

Instead of trying to shrink your pores, you could just try to cover them up using concealer, foundation and powder. This is an effective temporary solution which can help you to feel more confident about the appearance of your skin.  Choose a concealer and foundation than perfectly matches your skin tone, as this will help the make-up to appear more natural. Go for mattifying make-up if your skin tends to be oily and moisturizing make-up if your skin tends to be dry. Apply the make-up lightly and evenly using a sponge or brush. Don't cake it on, as this will simply draw more attention to the areas you are trying to conceal. Make sure to wash your brush or sponge frequently, to avoid a build-up of bacteria. Make sure to thoroughly remove make-up at night. Leaving it on will clog your pores, causing them to look worse. Applying a primer under your make-up is a great way to make your skin appear flawless.  A good primer (preferably a silicone-based one) will temporarily fill in your pores, without clogging them. This provides an even surface for your make-up, making your pores almost invisible. Blotting you skin with blotting papers or oil absorbing sheets will remove excess oil from the skin throughout the day, reducing the appearance of pores without over-drying your skin. You can find blotting papers at your local drug store or pharmacy, or online.

TL;DR in English: Wear make-up. Use a skin primer. Use blotting paper.

Tuck the wires into place and replace the cover. Following the instructions in the hood's manual, attach the fan and light bulbs, and slide the filter into place. Go to the circuit breaker or fuse box and restore the power supply. Turn on the lights and the fan to make sure they are operational. You should also go outside while the fan is running to make sure air is flowing freely through the duct. Damp or greasy air that is not pulled through the duct may cause damage to your walls.

TL;DR in English: Install the cover, fan, lights, and filter. Turn the power back on. Test it out.

If your dog is suffering from any kind of neck pain, a collar may cause too much strain and discomfort on his neck and spine. A harness can be a useful alternative, as it spreads pressure over his chest and does not put any strain on your dog's neck. Avoid using a collar, and opt for unleashed, fenced-in yard time whenever possible instead of walking your dog on a leash. Heat therapy is a useful tool in relieving mild neck discomfort, especially in dogs with arthritis. Follow the directions bag's packaging and heat for the appropriate time. Then speak calmly to the dog, encourage him to lie down, and place the bag over his neck for a period of five to ten minutes at a time. If your dog is suffering from neck pain, he may have a hard time lowering his head to eat and drink out of his bowl if you keep it on the floor. Keep your dog's bowl elevated to a height that allows him to eat and drink without having to bend and stoop. It is important when managing neck pain to be alert for any deterioration in the dog's mobility. Neck pain is often a warning sign of other impending health problems, so it's important to determine and treat the cause of the pain, rather than just the pain itself. Any dog with neck pain should be rested as movement is likely to make the pain worse. If the dog has other symptoms, such as if he goes off his food, then a vet check is essential.

TL;DR in English: Use a harness to walk your dog. Use a heating pad. Make food and water more easily accessible. Monitor any deterioration in your dog’s mobility.

Always take care to wash your hands before and after handling the kittens. They may be carrying diseases or be susceptible to germs and bacteria that you've picked up. When you do pick up the kittens, pick them up carefully. Always check to make sure they feel warm, by seeing if the pads of their feet feel cold. Chances are, they'll start crying if they're cold. If you have other pets, make sure to keep them separate from the orphaned kittens for at least 2 weeks. Don't let them share litter boxes, food, or water bowls, since these could spread disease. Neonatal kittens (under 2 weeks old) cannot regulate their body temperature and usually keep warm by snuggling up to the mother. Since they can't do this, get a heating pad designed for puppies or kittens. Place the kittens on the heating pad, making sure to avoid direct contact with the pad if there's no fleece cover on it. If there's no cover, wrap a towel around it.  Kittens should never be directly exposed to the heating pad, since they may get localized burns or overheat. You can also use a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel, but check it frequently to make sure it's still warm (around 100 degrees). Place a box or cat carrier in a quiet, isolated part of your house. The room you put it in should be warm and draft-free, away from any other pets. Set a towel inside the box to make a cozy spot for the kittens to rest. You should also cover the box or carrier with a towel to keep it warm. Make sure not to cover air holes in the box or cat carrier to prevent suffocation. You don't need separate boxes or carriers for each kitten. Place them all in the same soft bedding spot. This will also help keep them warm and comforted. Ensure that there is enough room for the kittens to move around. For instance, the kittens should be able to move to the edges of a heating pad if they're starting to overheat.

TL;DR in English: Learn how to handle the kittens. Keep them warm. Make a soft bedding spot. Keep the kittens together.

Before making a purchase, ask yourself how your purchase will impact other people and the natural environment. This can be as simple as buying an entire jar of peanut butter, rather than individual servings; or as complicated as deciding the most environmentally-friendly car to buy. But don’t stress—start small.  In general, avoid purchasing products with excess packaging. Oftentimes, food companies expend just as much energy creating the packaging for food products as is expended in producing the actual food.  Don't buy what you don’t need. Buy for durability. For items you do buy, look for things which will last a lifetime. Search "buy it for life" to find forums and recommendations for durable products. Borrow or rent items you need only for brief or occasional use. Buy secondhand clothes and household items from thrift stores, consignment shops, and private sellers when you can. While disposable items are super convenient, anything made to only use one time and throw away should be avoided. Not only do they create more environmental waste, they end up costing you more money in the long run.  Opt to use your own reusable shopping bags instead of the plastic bags provided by the store. It may mean more clean up, but try using your regular cups, plates, and utensils at your next birthday party or event. Most tap water in developed countries is safe to drink, which means that buying bottled water is unnecessary. Buy a glass or metal bottle and fill it with water. Next time you need batteries, get rechargeable ones instead of disposable. Most batteries can now be thrown out with the regular trash—thanks to a reduction in chemical use—however, they still take up space in landfills.   If you're menstruating, consider using a reusable menstrual cup, such as the Diva Cup, rather than pads and tampons. These cups are easy to insert inside your vagina, just like a tampon, where they collect your menstrual fluids for hours at a time. Don’t just throw your old stuff in the trash. Consider selling it or giving it away...

TL;DR in English: Be a mindful consumer to reduce your extra waste. Use reusable items whenever possible to limit the trash in landfills. Donate your old household items so someone else can reuse them. Turn useless junk into something fun and cute, or fresh and funky. Use paper products made of 80-100% recycled paper. Recycle Dispose of hazardous waste properly.

This cell must be different than the cell in which your target text appears. If you haven't already added your data to Excel, you'll need to do so first. MID chops characters off of the beginning and end of your selected cell's text. To set up the MID formula, you type "=MID(Cell Name, Starting Character Number, Number of characters to display)" without the quotation marks. For example:   =MID(A1, 3, 3) displays three characters from cell A1, the first of which is the third character from the left in the text. If A1's text says "racecar", the truncated text will read "cec" in your selected cell. Similarly, =MID(B3, 4, 8) displays eight characters from cell B3, starting with the fourth character from the left. If B3's text says "bananas aren't people", the truncated text will read "anas are" in your selected cell. This will add the truncated text to your selected cell.

Use chemicals specifically labeled for spider control. Look for an insecticide containing pyrethroids. Scatter boric acid. Spray outdoor pesticides around the perimeter of the home.

Place the filler flowers around the wreath in the same manner as the focal flowers. It looks best to be symmetrical. For example, you might want to attach one after each focal flower, a little to the left of center of one, then a little to the right of center of the next one. Continue until you've used up most of the flowers. Shorter ones will be attached at the top and bottom, just as before.  Allow a couple of the longer stemmed ones to extend past the edges of the wreath a little to give it a designer look. Hot glue two or three pieces of the flowers and some of the individual leaves into the folds of the bow. Place the filler berries, etc. that you chose in the same manner as you did the filler flowers, this time placing them before and to the right and left of your focal flowers. Again a couple can be glued into the bow. Don't forget to make sure a few pieces are sticking out of the outer edges and into the center of the wreath, not just on the flat surface. Make sure that the pipe cleaners that attach the ribbon are covered by flowers. These are called your "mechanics" and should be covered with these last pieces of flowers and greenery.  Make sure your pipe cleaner ends, etc. are all tucked into the wreath.  Don't forget to make sure that everything you put into the wreath is in the clockwise direction. This consistency is what makes your wreath look professional. Hang your wreath if you were working on a flat surface. Step back about 6 feet (1.8 m) and squint your eyes to "see" where your "holes" are. These are areas that lack color, fullness, or look somehow uneven. Attach your final embellishments, the picks, flags, etc., into the empty areas. Make sure to save one to go into the middle of your bow, you will glue it in and make sure it sticks out about 4 inches (10.2 cm), which will be the farthest thing of all to stick out of your wreath, making it the final focal point.  Any small leaves or pieces that you have left can be hot glued into the bow or other areas as desired. Replace the flowers and...

TL;DR in English: Attach any small accent flowers. Position any other decorations you’ve chosen. Finish and hide any unsightly pieces. Take a last look. Hang your wreath and enjoy!

Many crystal glasses have a dishwasher safe label. If yours do not, check with the manufacturer or research online to find out if they can be put in the dishwasher. Crystal manufacturer Riedel notes that their glasses are used in hotels around the world and are thus cleaned in professional dishwashers. If you cannot find any information, err on the side of caution and wash by hand. Ensure your glasses, bowls, or other crystal items have enough space. You don’t want them touching, as they could jostle and bump into each other causing damage during the dishwashing cycle. Don’t overcrowd or overload the dishwasher, and be sure any long-stemmed glasses fit securely in the rack. Don’t start the dishwasher until your crystal has had time to come to room temperature. Sudden changes in temperature, such as heating a chilled glass, can cause breakage or damage to crystal. Don’t add extra detergent in the hopes of getting your crystal extra clean. Excessive detergent can leave a cloudy film on your crystal. Follow the recommendations for your dishwasher and detergent, taking into account whether you have hard or soft water. Start your dishwasher and allow it to run its normal cycle. Don’t interrupt the cycle or open the door in the middle of cleaning. Allow the dishes to cool before opening the door to the dishwasher. This will also let your crystal dry in case the dish-washing cycle didn’t fully dry the crystal. Depending on your dishwasher and water temperature, this could take several hours. You may want to wear gloves or remove the crystal with a lint-free cloth to prevent smudging and fingerprints. You can also use the lint-free cloth to remove any left-over water spots.

TL;DR in English: Ensure your crystal is dishwasher safe. Load the dishwasher carefully. Allow crystal to warm up. Use a small amount of detergent. Run the dishwasher. Let the crystal cool. Remove the crystal carefully.

Take the overlapping ends and mark each of them 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) from where they overlap each other. Use a piece of chalk to make these marks. If your binding is narrower or wider than 2.5 inches (6.4 cm), then use half the width to determine where to mark the ends. Cut the binding at the marks to remove the excess fabric. Cut straight across the marks on the overlapping pieces. Unfurl the binding and then line the binding pieces up. Make sure the print sides of the binding strips are facing each other and the pieces are perpendicular to each other. The end of one strip should be even with the side of the other strip. The overlapping ends will form a square. Stitch a diagonal line across the square.  This will create a diagonal stitch line that connects the two ends and creates a triangle of excess fabric that you can cut off. Do not stitch across the square going from the outside of the binding to the inside. Stitch across the square diagonally going from side to side. Cut just outside of the stitch line that runs diagonally across the square to remove the excess triangle of fabric. Then, open up the binding strips to reveal the right sides of the binding fabric again. Your strips should be connected by a diagonal seam, which allows you to sew the binding onto your quilt without the raw edges of the seam showing. After you have finished closing up the binding, you will need to attach the binding to the edges of your quilt. Pin the binding to your quilt so that the right sides of the binding and the right sides of the quilt are facing each other. Then, sew a straight stitch 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from the edges of the quilt going through the quilt and binding. After sewing the binding all the way around the quilt, fold the binding over to the opposite side of the quilt so there is an even amount of binding on both sides of the quilt. Then, sew a straight stitch into the seam you have created to secure the other side of the binding.

TL;DR in English: Mark the binding 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) from the overlap for 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) binding. Cut the binding where you have marked it. Match up the print sides of the binding ends so the pieces are perpendicular. Stitch across the square from one corner to the other. Cut off the excess fabric and open up the binding. Sew the binding onto the edges of your quilt.

Sometimes a more earnest response is a better one — an insulting comeback can end up provoking more of the same (or worse). You still, however, need to show the bully that you aren't hurt by his words, even if you are.  Take a deep breath. If you are angry, try to let the feeling go. Anger is what the bully wants to see, so don't give in and show it. Try to put on a "poker face" that doesn't reveal any feelings one way or the other. You can practice this in the mirror at home to make this easier. When you respond to the bully, show that you are confident. It's not just that you aren't angry or hurt — you feel fine about yourself and and confident in your response.  Stand up straight, and look the bully in the eye. Speak in a calm, clear voice. You can tell the person insulting you something like: "Your words don't affect me," or, "I don't let people like you get to me." Respond verbally with a comment that shows that the insult hasn't hurt you, or that the bully's words are unimportant to you. Here are some good examples:  I heard you, but I don't care. You're wasting your breath. Real mature. Are you done? Wow, you discovered I look different than you. You might consider a response that promotes feelings of shame for the bully. Ideally, you can make her feel bad for insulting you. Here are some examples:  I feel sorry for you. Build up your self-esteem some other way. Your parents must be really proud of you. It's sad that you feel a need to do this. Some people have found it effective to respond to insults with questions aimed at making the other person open up about the real problem. If you think the person insulting you might be open to a conversation about the real issues that are upsetting him, this might be worth a try. For example, if someone calls you stupid, you might respond by asking: "What is it exactly that makes you feel I am not intelligent?" Even if this doesn't start a heart-to-heart conversation about the bully's own feelings of inadequacy or jealousy, it might disarm him just by being unexpected.

TL;DR in English: Take a breath. Act confident. Show you aren't hurt. Consider shaming the other person. Ask questions to start a conversation.

When you use an ARR to evaluate cost reduction projects, you'll want to use the basic formula ARR = Net Cost Savings / Initial Investment. First, you'll need to find the Net Cost Savings. This is a two-part process:  Add together the amount of operating expenses and depreciation expenses. Deduct the sum total from the projected reduction in labor costs resulting from the use of new equipment. Divide the Net Cost Savings by the Initial Investment. The result, expressed as a percentage, is your ARR.

TL;DR in English: Determine Net Cost Savings. Divide to get the ARR.

Since spiders are not insects, many generic insecticides may not have a strong effect against wolf spiders.  A pesticide specifically labeled for wolf spiders is even better, but most chemical products designed to work against spiders will work effectively. Chemicals designed to kill spiders immediately will only exterminate spiders already in the home. These measures should be used in conjunction with measures designed to prevent wolf spiders from sneaking in for maximum effectiveness. Residual chemicals provide more long-term effectiveness and may be more helpful if you have difficulty preventing spiders from getting into the building. Residual pesticides sprinkled on the ground work better against wolf spiders than many other spider varieties. Many spiders travel along webs and walls, and as a result, they rarely cross over barriers made with residual pesticides. Wolf spiders hunt on the ground, however, so they are more likely to step into a residual pesticide. These usually include residual insecticides that are sprayed or sprinkled.  Pyrethroids are a family of chemicals made from pyrethrum flowers. Insecticides made with pyrethroids are common and usually the most effective against spiders of all varieties. Common pyrethroids used in household insecticides include bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, permethrin, and tetramethrin. Aside from pyrethroid insecticides, insecticides containing deltamethrin, cypermethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, or bifenthrin are also generally effective against wolf spiders. Sprinkle a small amount of boric acid in dark corners, cracks, and under floorboards and furniture.  Boric acid, also called hydrogen borate, is a white powder used for insecticidal, industrial, and other purposes. It is relatively non-toxic for adult humans, but it may pose a threat to children and pets. The chemical is abrasive, cutting into the exterior of the wolf spider and causing it to leak bodily fluids. It also acts as a stomach poison. The spider gets it on its legs and ingests the poison as it grooms itself....

TL;DR in English:


Know the lead limits for color additives. Be wary of traditional eyeliners. Use progressive hair dyes cautiously, and only as intended. Weigh your options with lipstick.

It will feel good to finally sort some stuff out. tart reading a good book. Think about the plot and characters and what it is about the story that moves you. National Geographic Kids or Nickelodeon might be a little childish, but reading them will make you feel better because they will give you something to do without having to think too hard. It may sound weird but it's really interesting to hear what you have to say to yourself. Drink something warm like a honey and lemon  drink, and have a stack of old magazines available.

Every bro's gotta have a code. It's the thing that unites and binds and solidifies the concept of the bro, separating bro from the common beasts and squirrels of the world. Your bro code is up to you and your bros, as well as the punishments for transgressing, but a few rules are generally universal when it comes to bros.  Never mess with your bro's date, sister, or mother Always have a bro's back Always take wingman responsibilities seriously Bros won't make other bros look bad in front of girls Bros don't let bros drive drunk Bros gotta stick together. The number one requirement for being a bro? Surround yourself with other brosephs, brahs, and brosiehs. Get a close-knit community of friends to hang out with and support each other. Leave no bro behind.  Lots of bros join fraternities in college, but it's not a requirement. Wherever you can, find like-minded male friends that you can bond with on a deep level. That might mean joining a fraternal organization of some kind, but you can also find male friends at work, church, the garage, or school. Intramural sports are great for meeting guys with similar interests. Likewise, if you're a gym rat, hang around the weight room to meet up with lifting buddies. You can have some school bros, some gym bros, a different set for every situation. When two bros meet, they don't shake hands like a couple of preachers. And they certainly don't hug. They bro-shake. It's like a combination hug, high-five, and arm-wrestling match. In other words, perfect for bros.  To execute the bro shake, high-five your friend about chest high, at a 45 degree angle, grasping his hand as if you were about to arm-wrestle. Don't let go. Flex your guns. Think of the bicep-bulging scene in Predator where Schwarzenegger meets Carl Weathers. Next, keeping your hands grasped, use your other hand to pat your bro's back one time, hard, in a half-embrace. Your arm-wreslte hand-shake will still be between you, so it won't be a full on hug. A bro-hug, a bro-shake, whatever you want to call it, it's...

TL;DR in English: Live by a bro code. Find your neighbors and build up a brommunity. Learn the proper bro-shake. Be reliable. Say what you mean. Always be rallying. Find bro inspirations. Try to make every day epic.

Just because you aren't a big company, that doesn't mean you shouldn't have a vivid professional brand.  Here are a few points to consider:  Decide whether you will use your own name or work under a business name. Don't be afraid to invest in business cards, a logo, uniforms and a sign to put outside your home or business. Make sure all of them are consistently branded. Make it clean and professional. Use a logo or imagery that conveys your business or service. Include details about your offering and your prices and try to demonstrate your skills. If you are a designer or a writer, put up samples of your work. Let people know how to contact you. Actively marketing your services is vital to get your name out there, and it shows prospective clients that you're available for work.  Consider these avenues:  Investigate online advertising.  This could include setting up social media accounts for your business, sending emails with special offers, or signing up for ads. Pursue print publishing.  Buy up space in your local newspaper, or find a trade publication that caters to people in your industry and pursue an ad there. If there are publications or web pages that compare different contractors who offer the same services, make sure to get yourself listed. Describe your services in brochures. You can hire a professional to make them for you, or build them yourself using software like Microsoft Word or Open Office. Consider enlisting the help of a copywriter to highlight your unique skills and strengths. The right connections can make all the difference in running your own business.  Attend networking events and join organizations. If you work mostly locally, consider joining your city's chamber of commerce.  Notify other contractors in your field about your availability—and find out their's. If another contractor is too busy to take on a gig, they might pass the client on to you. Do the same for them, when you can. Partner with those that can send you business leads. For example, if you are a copywriter, connect...

TL;DR in English: Establish your brand. Create a website. Advertise. Network with other professionals. Inform your personal network of your availability.

Go down on your left knee and place your right foot straight in front of you, as if you were doing a cheat version of the splits. Touch your right foot with both hands and then try to touch your knee with your forehead. Hold this pose for at least 15 seconds.  Bring your left arm over your body and try to touch your right foot. Hold this position, then turn as far as you can to the right and hold again. All of your muscles work in tandem together – so stretching your other muscles (like your leg and core muscles) will help improve back flexibility. Having a strong core will allow you to work on your back flexibility by being able to engage in more poses and stretch further into your poses. Go into a lunge position and push your pelvis down towards the ground. If you feel pressure or pain, lessen the degree of your lunge. Sit back onto your bended knee and stretch out your front leg. Try to put your forehead to your front knee – you should feel a stretch in your hamstring. From this position, try slowly going down into the splits. Go down as far as you can without hurting yourself and hold this position for 30 seconds. Remember that all of your muscles work together to make one strong body – so a flexible, strong back requires flexible, strong muscles in other parts of the body as well. If you can't quite get down into the splits or reach all the way to your toes, that's fine. The more you practice and work on your stretches, the more flexible you'll become. Don't try to force yourself too hard into stretches you can't handle. You don't want to injure yourself.

TL;DR in English: Try a standing split stretch. Work your way down to floor splits. Adjust the stretches to suit your specific needs.

Many vacuums will lose their suction if the roller stops working or if the hoses and filters are clogged. Turn your vacuum upside down and turn it on to see if the roller spins or not. Then look through the hoses and nozzles to see if they are obstructed. Look at the filter to see if it’s full or covered in dirt and dust. Check the attachments on the end of your vacuum hose as well to see if anything is clogging them while you’re trying to use it. The belt attaches the motor to the roller to help pick up dirt from your floor. If you hear an unusual noise coming from the bottom of your vacuum or it’s losing suction, check if the belt is cracked or broken. If it is, you’ll need to replace it. Replacement vacuum belts can be purchased from home improvement stores as well as online retailers. Try plugging your vacuum in and turning it on with the switch. If it doesn’t work or it starts and stops randomly, the plug may be broken and need to be replaced. The inside motor may also be broken, but cannot be repaired at home. Try fixing the plug first before moving on, but if it doesn’t work, take the vacuum to a repair shop. Sometimes, if your vacuum loses suction, it may be because the bag or canister is full of debris. Check the bag to see if it’s full and replace it if you need to. If your vacuum has a canister, empty it and clean it with soapy water before putting it back in the machine. Make sure a bagless vacuum canister is completely dry before reattaching it to your machine.

TL;DR in English: Check the hoses, filters, and rollers if you have a suction problem. Look at the belt if your vacuum is noisier than usual or the roller isn’t moving. Make sure the vacuum runs when it’s plugged in. Empty the bag or canister if it’s full to see if your vacuum works again.

In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has limited authority to regulate cosmetics, but it can legally regulate color additives in cosmetics (as well as foods and drugs).  Color additives require prior approval from the FDA before the products can legally be manufactured or sold in the U.S. Although there are some variations, the typical limit for lead in a color additive is 20 parts per million, which is well within recognized safe parameters under normal use.  A listing of FDA-permitted color additives is available at http://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/Labeling/IngredientNames/ucm109084.htm. Eyeliners known by names including kohl, kajal, and surma have long been popular in many parts of the world, and occasionally appear for sale in the U.S.  However, these eyeliners contain high amounts of lead and are not approved for sale or use in the U.S.  The danger of these products is real — they have been linked to cases of lead poisoning in children. These eyeliners are on an FDA “import alert,” meaning they can be seized by FDA field personnel to prevent sale or distribution. Most hair dye products, and especially progressive hair dyes that darken hair color over time, use color additives that are subject to FDA approval.  They typically contain lead acetate, and are permitted by the FDA to have much higher concentrations of lead than is typically allowed for color additives. The FDA contends that, when used as intended, the elevated lead content in these products is not a health concern because the product does not enter the body.  However, the products must contain this special label on the packaging: "Caution: Contains lead acetate. For external use only. Keep this product out of children's reach. Do not use on cut or abraded scalp. If skin irritation develops, discontinue use. Do not use to color mustaches, eyelashes, eyebrows, or hair on parts of the body other than the scalp. Do not get in eyes. Follow instructions carefully and wash hands thoroughly after use." Lipstick is the most common cause for...

Rest your voice. Keep hydrated. Gargle with an antiseptic solution. Suck on lozenges. Breath moist air. Avoid whispering. Avoid throat irritants.

Reflexology is based on the premise that the nerves in your feet, hands and ears each correspond with other parts of your body. Applying pressure to certain reflex areas can relieve symptoms in other parts of the body. Engaging a nerve in your big toe, for example, could reduce tension in your head and relieve a headache. Applying pressure to your heel could aid in digestion. Reflexology has even been used to aid in treatment for serious conditions like cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Research has shown that reflexology has four primary effects:  It can impact specific organs, such as by increasing blood flow to the kidneys. It can bring about an amelioration of specific symptoms by helping organs function properly. It can create a relaxation effect and reduce anxiety. It can relieve pain throughout the body. Reflexology is based on the idea that the body can be divided into zones. Picture your body divided into a system of longitudinal and transverse zones. Imagine five zones on each side of your body, starting at the tip of each toe, and running up the length of your body to the top of your head. The transverse zones (similar to lines of latitude) divide the areas of your feet into zones that correspond to your head and neck, your chest, abdomen and your pelvis area. Engaging the tip of a particular zone by applying pressure to a place on the foot activates the body's healing power for that entire zone. This concept is also referred to as zone therapy.  When you perform reflexology, it's necessary to learn where the reflexes are on the feet that correspond to every limb, organ and gland of your body. When you apply pressure to these specific points, you stimulate the corresponding limb, organ or gland. In this way you can use reflexology to stimulate your body's healing power. When your body is experiencing stress, your energy reserves get depleted and you are less able to fight infections or combat pain. But when your body is in a deeply relaxed state induced by reflexology, your body’s natural healing...

TL;DR in English: Learn the fundamentals of reflexology. Understand reflexology zones. Consider making an appointment with a reflexologist. Practice applying pressure to reflex points.

For thick buildup on porcelain surfaces, you’ll need to use something a little more heavy-duty. Use a product like Comet or Ajax that comes in powdered form. The small particles will be able to penetrate deeper into stains that have set up on the surface of the tub to remove them.  Powdered cleansers contain chemicals known as surfactants which have mild abrasive properties. This makes them much more effective for addressing hardened, stuck-on residue.  Apply abrasive cleansers sparingly. For most jobs, a single canister be enough for a single thorough cleaning. Alternately, tough stains like rust and hard water residue can be treated with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and cream of tartar. Blend the two ingredients together until they're about the same consistency as cake frosting and spread them directly over the stains. After 10 minutes, buff the stains with a nylon brush or pumice stone until they're erased completely.  Homemade concoctions like hydrogen peroxide and cream of tartar will be preferable for those who are wary of the health and environmental effects of chemical cleaning products. Hydrogen peroxide will also help treat age-related discoloration and lighten the finish of the tub. A moderate dusting should be enough to deal with most messes. The powder won’t stick to the surface of the porcelain on its own, but when combined with a liquid it will form a paste that can be spread directly over stains. Be sure to cover the bottom of the tub, where accumulated mold can become a slipping hazard. Spray purified or ordinary tap water onto the cleaning powder. With the addition of moisture, the powder will take on a thick, foamy consistency. Rub this paste into the stains and give it about half an hour to take effect.  You can also wet a clean sponge or washcloth and use it to rub in the cleaner until it thickens.  Another option is to wet the tub before you apply the cleanser. Spray the tub with the shower head or fill a cup with water and pour it around the inside of the tub. Be careful not to add an...

TL;DR in English: Pick up a canister of abrasive cleaning powder. Stick with natural alternatives. Sprinkle the cleaning powder around the stained tub. Add enough water to produce a paste. Scour the stains with a sturdy scrubber.

The plastic bag will need to cover the entire length of your dog. Look for a garbage bag that will be the right size for your dog, depending on whether you have a small, medium, or large dog. If possible, use a thicker garbage bag, such as a heavy duty garbage bag, for durability and to make the poncho more resistant to water. To make the plastic poncho, you will need a pair of scissors and a marker that is a different color than the color of the plastic bag. You will use the marker to note where you will cut the bag when you measure the bag against the shape and size of your dog. You will need to lay the bag down flat on the ground and cut it, so look for an area in your home or your backyard that is open and easy to move around in. You will also need your dog to stay in one spot while you measure the bag against his body so you may want to choose a spot in your home that you dog is comfortable in or likes.

TL;DR in English: Choose a small garbage sized plastic bag. Gather the rest of the supplies. Find an open area.

Everyone's morning routine will be different and personal. A lot depends on what you would like to accomplish in the morning.  Ask yourself questions. Do you want to shower in the morning or at night? If you're going to shower in the morning, will you need to blow dry your hair? Do you want to put on a full face of make up in the mornings or just wash your face and go? Breakfast gives you energy for your day and is the most important meal in a day. Think you are doing yourself good by not eating breakfast, then you are wrong. It helps prevent a crash later on in the afternoon.  Know how long your breakfasts take. Would you rather make a big breakfast of eggs and bacon or have a bowl of cereal? Give yourself a generous amount of time so that you won't have to rush through breakfast and in that generous time, eat a generous amount of food like yogurt, egg, bacon, bread, fruits or any other home-made snacks. Don't forget to add an extra three minutes to brush your teeth afterwards. It can be nice to schedule in a few minutes to read a chapter in a book, check text messages, or scroll through Instagram. Break is important as it helps process the things learned, tried and done after a period of time.  This can help you ease into your day, and scheduling it into your routine will ensure that you don't fall behind when getting ready. Make sure you do this out of bed. Sit at your desk or kitchen table, so you don't risk falling back asleep without an alarm to wake you up. An important part of the routine is the order that you complete the steps. Think about what will be easiest and most efficient for you personally. Make a timetable and stick to it, no matter what. It will keep things more organized and smooth.  For example, put on your outfit for the day before you eat breakfast. That way you'll already feel like you've made progress getting ready, and you won't feel rushed while eating. Make your leisure time the ending of your routine. This will help motivate you and give you something to look forward to. Consider...

TL;DR in English: Determine your getting ready goals. Plan for breakfast. Add a few minutes of leisure. Create an order that works for you. Calculate your official wake up time. Set your alarm. Write it down.

Your bestie might not understand or accept what’s happening, so it’s possible that they will start calling, texting, and messaging you more when you stop communicating with them. If this happens, don’t pick up the phone and don’t respond to texts or social media messages right away. Wait a few days to get back to them, and then keep your responses brief.  If they ask a question that can be answered with a yes or a no, respond this way and don’t offer any other information. If they ask you something requiring a longer response, keep it as brief and impersonal as possible. Your best friend might try to make plans with you when you start distancing yourself from them. If this happens, make an excuse for why you can’t. Say you already have plans, you don’t feel well, you have homework, or anything else you can think of to get out of it. Don’t offer an alternative time either, just make the excuse and leave it at that.  For example, if they ask what you’re doing over the weekend, try saying something like, “I’m busy this weekend. I have plans with my family.” If they try to get you to suggest a time to hang out, try saying something like, “I’ve got a lot going on right now, so I can’t really make any plans.” Your best friend might be used to you doing whatever they want. If this is the case and you can’t get out of seeing them for some reason, then flip the script on them and become very unaccommodating. This may cause them to dislike spending time with you and decrease their interest in doing it again. For example, if you usually meet them at their house, say that they need to meet you at your house instead. Bumping into people can be opportunities for connection and intimacy, so it’s important to maintain your distance if you encounter your best friend unexpectedly. Stick to neutral topics and keep information about yourself to a minimum.  For example, if they ask what’s new with you, try saying something like, “Not much.” If you don’t want to talk with your ex-bestie at all, you can always just keep walking. A...

TL;DR in English: Take a few days to get back to them if they contact you. Make excuses for why you can’t hang out. Be less accommodating towards them if you can’t avoid hanging out. Stick to neutral, impersonal topics when you can’t avoid conversation. Stop contacting them via phone, text, and social media.

Most cases of hoarseness are caused by talking too much, particularly if you have to constantly raise (strain) your voice to be heard — noisy restaurants/bars, concerts and industrial environments can easily trigger a short-term bout of laryngitis; however, laryngitis from overuse heals pretty quickly, so resting your voice for a day or two is often the most important first step in getting your voice back.  If you find yourself at a noisy venue, either talk less or get closer to the ear of  the person you're trying to converse with. Avoid shouting and having to repeat yourself. In addition to hoarseness or voice loss, other symptoms of laryngitis include: a dry throat, sore throat, a tickling sensation in the throat that triggers a dry cough, and mucous build-up in the throat. Keeping yourself well-hydrated will keep the mucus membranes of your throat moist, which helps to reduce inflammation and discomfort. With less irritation, you'll find yourself coughing and clearing your throat less often — which are factors that can prolong bouts of laryngitis/hoarseness. Avoid carbonated water because it can further tickle your throat and trigger a coughing spell.  Start with drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of purified water per day to rehydrate yourself and keep the mucus membranes of your throat/larynx moist. Dairy-based beverages can thicken mucus. Sugary drinks may increase mucus production and should be avoided. Consider warming some water (not too hot) to loosen nasal and throat congestion, adding a little honey and lemon. Honey can soothe a sore or irritated throat, while lemon juice is a mild antiseptic that can combat infections, as well as clear mucus from your throat. Infections of the throat can also lead to laryngitis. Viral infections are the most common, although bacterial and fungal (Candida) infections can trigger hoarseness also. If you suspect your laryngitis is caused by an infection, then gargle with antiseptic solutions that are able to kill a variety of microorganisms. A 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a...

Read up on current issues and events in the newspaper and legitimate online sources. Don't rely on information from your social media feed. Make an effort to seek out other sources for news and stay in the know about what’s happening in the world around you.  When you learn about current events, discuss them with your parents or other adults. You might say, “What do you think about the president’s new bill, Dad?” Look at online sources like CNN Student News, BBC News, and Smithsonian Tween Tribune. Read the newspaper in the mornings and check out a few academic journals from the library on topics you’re interested in. Whether you are reading a book about real-world facts or made-up stories, reading can be a great hobby. Reading a book not only makes you wiser, but also adds new words to your vocabulary. This helps you improve your ability to comprehend and even enhances your own writing skills. Plus, reading can help you relieve stress, too. Go beyond the reading assignments needed for school. To enjoy the habit of reading, choose books that relate to your interests, such as airplanes or ancient Egypt. Critical thinking skills describe the way you go about solving a problem. You might jump at the quickest answer that comes to mind, or you might spend more time viewing all angles of the problem before selecting an answer. Being a critical thinker can help you better judge the consequences of your actions, evaluate the validity of information, and learn to think outside the box. A great way to build critical thinking skills is by playing board games. Schedule a game night with your family and/or closest pals. Good board game options include Apples to Apples and Scattergories.

TL;DR in English: Stay informed on current events. Read books. Use your  critical thinking skills.

If someone sent you a communication with offensive language, then you should hold onto it. That evidence could be critical to a sexual harassment case. Preserve the following types of communications:  voice mails emails handwritten notes Sometimes sexual harassment happens in private. In these situations, only two people observed the conduct—you and the harasser. As best as you can, you should document what happened and what was said.  Try to be sufficiently detailed. The more detail you can provide, the more credible you will appear.  Include all important details, such as the date and location of the harassment, as well as the identity of the harasser and your own emotional response. Also note the date that you are writing down your memories. Other people may have seen the harassment and can serve as witnesses to back up your story. Whoever investigates your claim will also want to talk to your coworkers, so you should identify those with relevant information.  You should also identify people who saw you immediately after the incident or people who you told about the harassment. If other people were harassed in the same manner by the same person, then you should identify them as well. You might be seeing a doctor or therapist to help you deal with the harassment. If so, then document your visits. You should also hold onto any records which contain a diagnosis.

TL;DR in English: Preserve communications. Write down your memories. Identify witnesses to the behavior. Document the effects on your health.

Keep track of how many servings you eat and avoid going back for seconds. If you need to, measure the amounts of food with a measuring cup to train yourself to correctly estimate amounts.  Some people find it helpful to use a small plate or bowl to prevent themselves from taking too much food. Don’t eat the entire meal when you go out to eat. Restaurants often serve much more food than is healthy. If you enjoyed the meal, take it home and finish it the next day. Alcohol is high in calories. Drinking too much may make you prone to obesity, which will then increase your risk of heart problems. If you drink, do so in moderation.  Women and men over 65 should have no more than one drink per day. Men under 65 should limit their alcohol consumption to two drinks per day. A 12 oz beer, 5 oz glass of wine, or 1.5 oz of hard liquor qualifies as a drink. Many people are reluctant to quit smoking because they are worried it will make them gain weight. Smoking and chewing tobacco increase your risk of having hard, narrow arteries. This increases your blood pressure, your risk of heart attacks, heart disease, and strokes. If you need help to both quit and manage your weight simultaneously, there are many resources available:  Talk to your doctor or see a counselor Consult a nutritionist or dietician to develop a meal plan that will work for you Join support groups or call hotlines Discuss medications or nicotine replacement therapy with your doctor Exercise will help you to lose weight and keep it off. It will also help you to lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels.  Do 75–150 minutes of physical activity per week. You can spread it out however it works best with your schedule. Great low-cost options include walking, running, biking, swimming, and playing sports such as basketball or soccer. If you need to lower your blood pressure and cholesterol, try to do at least 40 minutes of physical activity three to four days a week. You will probably be surprised how quickly you feel yourself getting fitter.
