Try different forms of vitamins such as liquids or capsules and dosages to figure out what is less likely to cause your stomach to be upset. To decrease the likelihood of stomach upset from vitamins, never take more than indicated on the label or that is prescribed by your doctor. Some medicines and vitamins interact with caffeine found in coffee or tea.  Caffeine can also change the way your body absorbs vitamins.  Caffeine may interfere with the absorption of vitamins like calcium, vitamin D, Iron, vitamin B, and others. You should take your vitamins on a regular schedule and at the same time of day. You can set an alarm to avoid forgetting or taking vitamins late. You can also take your vitamins immediately following dinner, if you eat a consistent time, to follow a consistent time table.

TL;DR in English: Experiment on the mode of vitamin. Exercise common sense. Skip the caffeine while taking certain vitamins. Be consistent.

Dig out the flesh, leaving a 1/2" (13 mm) thick layer on all sides. Use a potato peeler, a corkscrew or a paring knife. Screw the apple onto the top of the hose, and seal the connection with some plasticine. You can use a burning cigarette or other concentrated heat source to make the hole. The connection should be tight. If you see a gap between the plastic and the straw, then seal the gap with more plasticine. Cover it with foil, poke holes in the foil, light your coals and place the coals on the foil. Enjoy your homemade hookah.

TL;DR in English: Cut the top 1/4 off of the apple. Poke a hole into the bottom of the apple. Cut a piece of garden hose to the desired length. Burn a hole into the side of a plastic bowl near the bottom. Insert a straw into the hole. Fill the fruit bowl with tobacco.

Before you even start preparing to grow ginseng, make sure that you will have a way to sell it when it is mature. One option is to connect with a licensed ginseng dealer in your state. You may be able to visit their location with your ginseng, have it weighed, and get a price quote on the spot. If you don’t like the price they give you, then you can simply try a different buyer.  You can check your state’s registry of licensed ginseng dealers to find one in your area. There may be several in your area that you can visit to find the best price for your product. If you want to cut out the middle man and sell and export ginseng yourself, then you might consider getting a dealer license. The rules for dealer licensing vary by state, so check to find out what your state’s regulations are. You will at least need to complete an application and pay a fee.  Some people also sell their ginseng on an auction site, such as eBay. However, you will still need to have an export license to do this. This method mimics the plant's natural environment. While ginseng grown this way typically takes eight years to mature, the end result is much more valuable than field-cultivated ginseng due to its color and shape. You may attempt to alter this process by using artificial shade or tilling the soil, but then you will be growing woods-grown ginseng, which may grow into a different, less valuable shape. The field cultivation method results in a mature plant at 4 years, but requires intensive labor, greater risk of disease spreading, and roughly $20,000 to $40,000 per acre. Most small scale farmers opt for the method described here instead, which results in a much more valuable plant and costs roughly $2,600 plus labor. Note that these costs are rough estimates. If you want to grow ginseng using the "wild-simulated" method, you'll need to have land within the plant's natural range. Ginseng grows in cool, temperate climates containing hardwood forests in areas of 20 to 40 inches of annual rainfall. This type of environment is found in...

TL;DR in English: Consider how you will market your ginseng. Understand the wild-simulated ginseng growing method. Find out if you live in the right environment. Obtain any necessary permits or licenses to grow and sell ginseng. Select a suitable site. Evaluate and test the soil. Fertilize if necessary.

Wide-mouth jars are the easiest to stuff and ladle into. As a rule of thumb one quart jar can hold about four cucumbers. Have extra jars on hand just in case. While you can reuse glass jars and rims, you can't reuse lids. Typically you can buy a box of new jar lids for a few dollars. Take all of the lids, rims, jars and boiling water canner and run them  through your dishwasher removing any residue that might be on them. Inspect them and make sure there are no cracks or other issues. Place a canning rack at the bottom off the boiling water to keep the jars off the super-hot bottom of the pot, which risks cracking them.  Place the jars inside. Boil the jars for at least five minutes. Do not boil the lids. The rubber seal on the lids will be ruined if you boil them. On your stove or in the microwave, you can heat water to just under a boil and sterilize the lids in that. Set each jar right side up on a towel on your work surface, making sure everything is in reach--you'll need your jars, lids, lid bands, and pickling solution all close by. It can be a quick process, so it sometimes helps to have a partner at this point. Remove the cucumbers from the salt/ice mixtures and pat them dry, then pack them into the jars leaving at least half an inch from the where the jar mouth narrows. Again, you can either line the bottom of the jars with the pickling spices or include them in the solution. Either way, this is also your chance to include any fresh spices you might like to add, like smashed garlic cloves, fresh dill leaves, or grape leaves for crispness.

TL;DR in English: Decide on the number of jars that you will be using. In a large pot, boil enough water to cover your jars. Remove the jars with a jar lifter and set on towel. Wash your hands then pack the jar tightly with pickles.

Once you have completed and checked all of your paperwork, you will be ready to file. To file the forms, you should try to get help from the prison's legal service. Bring all of the required paperwork with you and say that you want to file divorce papers.   Your prison's legal service should file the papers for you. They should also give you the documents that you will need along with proof that they filed the forms. If your prison does not have a legal services program that handles divorces, ask a trustworthy friend or family member to file the papers for you with the clerk of the court where you will be getting divorced. Your spouse must receive notice of the divorce proceedings in order for the court to proceed with the case. You can either serve the divorce papers on your spouse by certified mail or in person.  To serve the papers by mail, you will need to pay to have the papers sent by certified mail. If it is sent by certified mail, your spouse will have to sign for the papers. To serve the papers in person, hire a process server or have someone you trust personally hand a copy of the summons and complaint to your spouse. The person who serves the papers to your spouse must be 18 years or older. You cannot serve your spouse with the divorce papers. After your spouse has been served with the divorce papers, you will need to file an affidavit of service. This document will need to be signed by the person who delivered the divorce papers to your spouse. If you sent the papers by certified mail, then you will need to sign the affidavit. After filing the papers for divorce, your spouse can respond in several ways.  Your spouse can decide “agree to” the divorce, meaning that the divorce is “uncontested.” This makes the rest of the divorce process much easier than the other options. In an uncontested divorce, the parties do not have to appear in court over the divorce proceedings, although they may still need to appear in court to determine any property divisions or child custody or child support issues.Keep...

This one is easy to remember, as the symbol looks just like a clothes iron. You can iron as usual, without any special considerations.  If this symbol contains one dot, iron at a low temperature.  If this symbol contains two dots, iron at a medium temperature.  If this symbol contains three dots, iron at a high temperature. Do not iron with steam if the garment contains a label with a symbol of an iron with an X over lines coming out of the bottom. Think of the lines coming out of the iron as steam or water to help you remember the symbol. Use only dry heat, as the steam may damage or ruin the fabric. Do not iron the garment if the label contains a symbol of an iron with an X through it. If the item has wrinkles, tumble-dry it if the label allows. You could also hang it in the bathroom while taking a steamy shower, which will help the wrinkles disappear.

TL;DR in English: Iron your garment if it contains a symbol resembling an iron. Identify when to iron with steam. Identify when not to iron.

Often an interviewer will ask you a question to get more information about your personality, aptitude, and experience. Sometimes the question is aimed at learning something that isn't apparent. Think about the actual meaning behind each question before you give your response, and cater your answer to what they are actually asking. Blaming past coworkers for your own shortcomings could signal to the employer that you don't take responsibility for your actions and aren't a team player. Instead, talk about how their communication or management style didn't mesh well with yours, and emphasize how you were able to adapt and accomplish goals, even though this was so.  If the interviewer asks "What did you dislike most about your last boss?" they want to understand your expectations of management and understand which management styles you have trouble working with. You can answer "Tell me about your worst boss" by saying something like "I had a boss who communicated differently than me. I learned that you have to be able to adapt to different personalities if you want a project to get done on time." If they ask, "Why are you better than anyone else for this job?" they are looking to gauge your level of confidence and humility to see if you can fulfill expectations while still being a team player. Talk about your experience and why it makes you capable, but also talk about your passion for learning and getting better at your job. You can say something like "I have a decade of experience, and I work well with other people. Also, you won't meet a person more passionate about this than I am." Sometimes an interview will contain specific questions regarding your industry. These questions are designed to see if you understand the current standards and practices of the industry as well as your experience level. Make sure to have a solid grasp of the specific technical and operational aspects of your potential job. Jobs, where you may be expected to have an intimate knowledge of your industry, include biotech, pharma,...

TL;DR in English: Evaluate the meaning behind the question. Don't talk badly about past co-workers. Have humility and confidence when answering questions about yourself. Give specifics when asked questions about your industry. Understand the person interviewing you.

Before you can set boundaries, you have to identify exactly what you are feeling.  You can become so overwhelmed by the other person's actions that you are not sure how you feel. The two most common emotions you may be feeling are discomfort or resentment.  How do you feel when the person intrudes on your time or your space? How do you feel when you are around the person, but you would rather not be? Are there specific actions (e.g showing up uninvited, calling late at night, etc.) that cause these feelings? Once you have identified your specific feelings regarding the clingy person, you can develop the boundaries that you need to set. The boundaries should be specific to the actions of the person.  For example, if the person calls you excessively or late at night, your boundary may be to stop answering phone calls or not answering phone calls after a certain time. Set realistic boundaries that you will actually follow through with.  Do not say that you will never talk to a person again if you know that you are not ready to take that step. Create consequences for your boundaries as well.  If the person does not do ____, what will you do? Communicate your boundaries to the other person. Do not talk to the person when you are angry or annoyed.  Be calm and  assertive as you set your boundaries. Tell the other person that you are setting the boundaries as a way to take care of yourself, not to be rude or harmful.  If you are nervous about talking to the other person, write down your boundaries so that you do not forget them during the conversation. For example, you might decide to say something like, “Sara, you know that I care about you and our friendship, and I always want to be honest with you. Lately, I have felt smothered because you call me eight times per day, so I’d like to set a boundary at only one phone call per day." You can also practice the conversation with a friend or family member that you trust. Have your practice partner respond as the clingy person would. When you set boundaries, you are...

TL;DR in English: Acknowledge your feelings. Decide the boundaries that need to be set. Be direct. Expect the other person to be angry.

Instead of just offering negative criticism, offer specific suggestions and recognize your players’ effort.  For instance, instead of saying, “You didn’t kick the ball properly,” say “That was a great attempt, but next time, try kicking like this,” then show the player the proper technique.  Use compassionate language when criticizing a player and put yourself in their shoes. Keep criticism brief and to the point.  Don’t hammer away at a player about a mistake they made.  Instead, point out their error, offer a correction, then move on. Acknowledge your team’s effort when they meet goals and milestones.  For instance, if your team wins a game, tell them how proud you are. In addition to pointing out occasions where players could do something better, draw attention to the things your players do well.  For instance, if your goalie makes a great save, praise them by saying, “Wow, great save!” or “Nice work!” Don’t sideline your players who are not performing as well as the rest of their team.  The specific action you take to help a player improve depends on what their issue is.  For instance, sometimes players just need to hear a technique or strategy explained in a different way. If a player is having a hard time with a certain movement, you could get your assistant coach to work with them in a special session. Soccer teams vary widely in their experience levels and abilities.  Identifying what your players are (and should be) capable of will enable you to tailor your coaching style to your players’ needs.  Teens and adults are more capable of learning new techniques and modifying their behavior than kids. Children of different age groups will have different levels of understanding.  Even within a given age group, individuals have different strengths and weaknesses, so set your expectations accordingly. Kids under 6, for instance, should be oriented toward having fun and building positive social interactions with you and their teammates.  Your main goal with kids of this age is to get them to kick the ball in...

TL;DR in English: Offer constructive criticism. Praise good performance as often as possible. Help underperforming players improve. Have reasonable expectations about what your players can do. Encourage good sportsmanship by setting a positive example. Improve your team by setting small goals and meeting them. Adapt your coaching style to individual players.

Let your kids know what mini golf is. Planning your course. Design your course. Choose your type of course. Create your holes. Get the gear. Keep score.

There are three main types of bases: Farming, Trophy, and Hybrid.  A farming base is a type of base mostly active when you farm. The main idea of this base is to leave your town hall away outside your walls. You may lose some trophies. Don't worry, because you will rewarded with a 12 hours shield during which no one can attack your village! You also generally keep your storages and possibly your collectors inside your walls. A trophy base is one in which you put your town hall inside your base, and your trophies are the most important thing to you. It is just the opposite of the farming base. You will risk losing your resources. A hybrid base is one where it defends your trophies and resources equally. Some popular base designs are:  An egg-shell base is where the base is surrounded with multiple walls. For example one core surrounded by walls, with an outer layer of walls surrounding less important buildings. A compartment base is where all of the most important buildings have their own compartment, and less important buildings go outside the base. These form an extra "building wall." A bulkhead base is kind of like the Titanic. The idea is that there is multiple compartments, so if your enemies flood one section, the others will support it. It is sort of a mix between an egg-shell and a compartment base. A modified compartment base is where your compartments hold 2-3 buildings instead of each compartment holding only one.

TL;DR in English: Decide which type of base you want to have. Decide what you want to make your layout.

Not all plants can grow in every region. An area's temperature and climate factor greatly in the plant's chances of success. If you live in a northern region, for example, you'll have trouble growing a plant native to a tropical rainforest. When you pick out seeds to plant, do a little research to make sure the plant species does well in your area.  If you have a greenhouse or plan to grow your plant indoors, you may be able to plant a seed even if the species is not native to your growing region. A good way to figure out what plants grow well in your area is to visit a local nursery and talk with an employee there. He or she will be able to help you pick out hardy seeds that have a great chance of germinating and growing into healthy plants. Some seeds are easy to plant in many growing regions and under a lot of different conditions. Look for "easy seeds," which are hardy and simple to grow for the beginning gardener. In the US, you can look up your USDA hardiness zone. Find a seed that grows well in your zone. The time of year you plant seeds is determined by both the plant's needs and your growing region. If you live in a place with long, cold winters, you may need to wait until mid-Spring to plant your seeds. If you live in a place that warms up early in the year, you can probably start earlier. Check your seed packet for information on how early to start your seeds.  Starting seeds too early or late can prevent germination from occurring, so it's important to figure out the right time to plant to ensure success. If you are starting seeds indoors, you should keep in mind that most vegetable seeds need to be started at least two weeks before the last frost, and some as early as 2-3 months before the last frost. Even if you live in a cold area, you'll need to plan ahead to make sure you start your seeds in time for the growing season. Some seeds should be planted directly in the soil outside. Always research your specific seed and plant to understand how best to start it. Most seeds need similar growing...

TL;DR in English: Select a type of plant that thrives in your growing region. Know what time of year to plant the seed. Get seed-starting supplies.

Bad circulation causes swelling. Therefore, try to stay off your feet if you can. When you lay down, make sure that you lift your feet up. You want your feet to go up as far as you can raise them. You can place a stool under your feet if it will help you keep them up. Foot swelling after a tattoo is caused by your body storing excessive amounts of water. To keep this from happening, you should drink plenty of water. You want to drink enough so that your body will want to expel water instead of retaining it. Of course, you should not place ice directly on your tattoo. The best way to lessen swelling and keep your tattoo dry is to wrap ice in a piece of cloth and place it on your tattoo. Try doing this for thirty minutes to an hour every day you have swelling. You need to maintain proper circulation in order to keep swelling down. Therefore, when you are lying down, try to do some exercises. They don’t need to be intense, just regular. Stretching, for example, would be beneficial. Try lifting your legs and arms at intervals.

TL;DR in English: Elevate your feet. Drink water. Apply ice to swelling or bruising. Exercise.

The ugly duckling method is especially useful for people who have a lot of moles, particularly if some of those moles are benign irregular moles. Because melanomas look different from regular moles, compare all of your moles to each other. Any mole that looks different from the rest is suspicious and needs to be checked.  Consider the size and shape of your moles to see if one is bigger or smaller. The suspicious mole should stand out in appearance from the others. Look at the color of your moles to check for an odd one. For example, if all of your moles are dark brown, but a light brown mole has appeared, then get that one checked out. A suspicious mole may have more than one color and up to three, brown, light brown and purplish. Anytime you get a new mole or lesion, have it checked out. Sometimes a new mole is benign, but it’s also a risk factor for melanomas.  New moles or lesions are more questionable if you don’t have many moles. People with few moles are less likely to develop a new one that is benign. New moles can be more questionable in elderly people. Symptomatic moles have issues that are atypical of normal moles, such as bleeding, itching, or hurting. If you have one mole that starts to show symptoms, make an appointment to get it checked.

TL;DR in English: Check for moles that look different. Notice new moles or lesions. Determine if moles or lesions are symptomatic.

Mini golf is a game where players try to get a ball in a hole in the least number of shots. Mini golf is fun because you can create fun obstacles for your holes. While traditional golf is played with 18 holes, mini golf is played with nine but you can vary how many holes depending on the location. Plan your course based on time and resources. If you have very young children, you can keep the course as simple as possible and use large colourful balls or tennis balls to keep the game easy. You can even just have one hole instead of nine if your kids are toddlers. Let your family help you plan the course to unleash their creativity. Some kids may work on the course for weeks. Older kids enjoy creating complex obstacles to challenge each other. Begin by brainstorming your ideas for each hole. Draw them out on paper or a whiteboard. If you have played mini golf before it's helpful to give examples of holes that you have enjoyed before. Figure out what you can use around the house to simulate similar obstacles.  For example, use containers that your ball can pass through, books to build tunnels, or stuffed animals that the ball needs to move passed. You may use around nine red plastic cups for your holes if you do not have enough containers. You may create a putt-putt zoo if you have many stuffed animals. Use your stuffed animals as obstacles for every hole. If you want to play outdoors, use the driveway for faster play. Play throughout your house if you have adequate space and time.  The putt-putt Zoo is basically a jungle themed course. Use painter's tape to secure your holes down and set them around the room. Place the stuffed animals as both decorations and obstacles for each course. For example, if you have a particularly large stuffed bear you can get players to putt through the bear's legs to get to the hole. You may also have each player make the noise of the animal at the obstacle. This is a great course for very young children. The driveway mini-golf course is great for accuracy as the difficulty...

Start replacing one or two feedings a day, and work your way to completely stopping.  This is the safest, and most painless way as your body will slowly stop producing milk.  Breasts that are not weaned gradually, but suddenly, can become painful, engorged, and even put mothers at significant risk for developing mastitis.  If you have been pumping and wish to stop, here is a typical schedule that will wean you off your pump slowly but surely: Day 1: pump for 5 minutes every 2-3 hours Day 2: pump for 5 minutes every 4-5 hours Day 3-7: pump just long enough to relieve discomfort This should reduce your discomfort and some swelling. Wear a supportive, but not-too-tight bra. Opt for clothing that is loose and less likely to show milk spots; consider wearing nursing pads to absorb leaking milk. Taking a warm shower, although it inevitably involves some stimulation, may help to relieve pressure in the breast and soothe discomfort. Avoid direct stimulation from the water whenever possible. If you start to become engorged, hand pump just enough to reduce your discomfort. If you become dehydrated, you will actually start producing more milk, and your discomfort will increase. Estrogen injections have fallen out of favor, although they were once used to promote estrogen suppression. Some forms of estrogen injections contain known carcinogens. If you have consistent trouble with lactation suppression, ask your doctor about taking medications like bromocriptine (Parlodel). Doctors usually don't recommend taking Parlodel because of increased likelihood of hypertension, stroke, and heart attack. Hormone levels will change drastically as your milk production slows, which will trigger mood swings.  Many women feel guilty, inadequate and sad.  Getting through these emotions may be the hardest part of the whole process, but having a good support system will help.

TL;DR in English: Wean gradually, whenever possible. Take a pain reliever containing ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Avoid nipple stimulation, as this will trigger milk production. Avoid pumping your milk as it signals to your body that it needs to produce more. Drink lots of water. In severe cases, talk to your doctor about estrogen injections. Prepare emotionally.

Make sure she doesn’t already have a date, first and foremost. Ask her friends if they think she would be interested in going with you if you aren’t sure. Once you’ve decided for sure who you are going to ask, then you can also use her friends as resources to decide how to ask her. Ask them questions about her and run ideas past her to decide how to ask her to prom. Not everyone wants a big, fancy, public promposal. Think about the girl’s personality to decide if you are going to ask her in a romantic, dramatic, creative, funny, or straightforward way. For instance, if she is shy and not super outgoing, you might want to make it a more straightforward promposal. If she’s extremely outgoing and always the center of attention, then you might want to get creative and come up with a big public promposal. She will appreciate that you took the extra time to make it a personalized promposal. Customize your promposal to things she likes or common interests or experiences you have shared.  For example, if she loves cats, then find a way to incorporate a cat theme into the promposal. If you two had a fun experience together, like a summer camping trip where you hit it off, try to include a reference to this when you ask her. Incorporate some romance, such as bringing the girl her favorite flowers or writing her a love poem, into your promposal if love is in the air. Don’t do this if you are just asking a friend or someone who you don’t want a romantic situation with.  This is another situation in which you can ask her friends about things she likes such as her favorite flowers or chocolates. Make sure that the situation is romantic before you decide to ask in a romantic way. You don’t want to cause an awkward situation with a friend or confuse someone you don’t have any romantic feelings for. There is always the possibility that the girl you want to ask doesn’t actually want to go with you. She might not be allowed to or have another commitment. You can make a deal to go with a friend in case you both don’t get dates...

TL;DR in English: Ask her friends to make sure she is available to go with you. Decide how you are going to ask her based on her personality. Personalize your promposal with inside jokes, references, or things she loves. Be romantic if it’s a romantic situation. Have a back up plan in case she says no or can’t go.

Before cleaning your pillow, remove the pillowcase and launder it according to the instructions on the care tag. Most pillowcases can be machine-washed. This way, you'll have a clean case to put on the pillow after washing it. If you have silk pillowcases, hand washing or dry washing is preferable. Read the label before washing them. In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1–2 cups (240–470 mL) of water and a few drops of dish soap. Continue mixing until there is about about 1 in (2.5 cm) of bubbles on top of the water. If you have trouble getting the bubbles to form, add a few more drops of dish soap to the water and continue to agitate it. If the pillow or stain has a strong scent, add 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 mL) of vinegar to the soapy water and stir it vigorously. The vinegar will remove even very strong scents from stains, like wine or oil. If possible, use white vinegar. Other types of vinegar might leave behind a film on top of the pillow. Gather bubbles on a damp cloth or sponge, and rub the pillow lightly until the stain disappears. You may need to reapply the soap a few times before the stain budges. If the stain is disappearing, but there's a shadow left behind on the gel, try applying a drop of dish soap directly onto the pillow and rubbing it into the surface. If you have a more difficult stain, like blood or oil, dip the end of a cotton swab into 3% hydrogen peroxide, which you can get at the grocery store. Then, rub the cotton swab back and forth over the stain until it disappears. After the stain is removed, wipe the pillow with a damp cloth to remove any remaining hydrogen peroxide. Leave the pillow in a well-ventilated area to dry out for at least 2 hours. After 2 hours, touch the pillow to make sure it's completely dry, and then place the pillow in its cover. To speed up the process, you can wipe the surface of the pillow with a dry towel after applying the soap and water.

TL;DR in English: Take off the pillowcase. Mix soap and water until bubbles form on top of the water. Add vinegar to the mixture if your pillow has an unpleasant odor. Use a damp cloth to rub the bubbles on the stain. Use a cotton swab soaked in 3% hydrogen peroxide to remove stubborn stains. Let the pillow dry completely before replacing the cover.

Try to play the video game that you are reviewing for at least 7 hours to get a feel for it. Explore as much of the game as you can in this timeframe. If the game has different levels, try to level up as many times as possible. If the game is an open world, explore as much of it as you can. Your notes will translate directly into what you put in your review. Use a computer or a notebook to write down what you like about the game. Pay attention to playability, sound, graphics, and in-game purchases. Jot down anything that sticks out to you, even if it is small. Details as small as the trees waving in the wind or a character’s headband can help a reader envision the in-game world when they read your review. Not every game is perfect, and your review should focus on the improvements that you think could be made as well as the positives. Take note of what you didn’t love about the game. Maybe the graphics are clunky, or the load times are too long. If anything annoys you even slightly, be sure to write it down. You’ve probably played a lot of video games that could be comparable to the one you are reviewing. Think about games that are in the same genre as the one you are playing. Is it an action-based game? A horror game? A racing one? Then, think about which ones you liked better or worse. Would you play this one more or less than other games? For example, you could say, “This racing game has more car model options, but less customizable pieces than their last release.”

TL;DR in English: Play the game for 7 to 10 hours. Take notes on what you appreciate about the game. Write down what could be improved about the game. Note how the game compares to other games like it.

Look through the available douching products at your local drugstore to choose an option that looks best for you. Avoid any solution that contains scents or dyes, as these are much more likely to cause an infection. If you prefer, you can create your own douching solution at home using vinegar and only buy a squeeze bottle at the store for application. If you bought a kit at the store, follow the box directions to prepare the douching solution it came with. Typically you will need to use a quart of water to prepare it. If you are making your own at home, mix one part vinegar with three parts water, in an amount equal to at least two cups. Follow the directions on the box to do this, or simply pour the solution into the squeeze bottle. If all the solution doesn’t fit, fill it as high as you are able and then add the rest later. Douching isn’t the messiest thing in the world, but it could be under certain circumstances. To prevent spilling any of the solution, get into the shower or bathtub for the entire process. You’ll likely want to shower or bath afterwards anyway. Insert the tip of the squeeze bottle or douche pouch into the vagina, and squeeze it to release the fluid. Continue rinsing the inside of the vagina until you have used all the available fluid. Use a mild soap and warm water to wash the outside of the vagina as you would normally during a shower or bath.  Your goal now is to wash off any of the douching solution left on the exterior of your vagina. The douching solution is relatively harmless on any other part of your body, so rinse it off if it came into contact with anything else but don’t worry about it too much. Follow up with any post-douching cleaning activities you deem necessary. Clean out the douching pouch/squeeze bottle and store it for later use, and clean up anything else you might have made a mess with while concocting your solution.

TL;DR in English: Choose a douching product. Prepare the douching solution. Fill the squeeze bottle or douche pouch with the solution. Get into the shower or bathtub. Rinse the vaginal cavity using the squeeze bottle. Wash the outside of the vagina. Finish cleaning up.

The certification requirements for becoming an ABA vary by state, as there is no national certification program. Contact the Behavior Analyst Certification Board for your state to find out the specific requirements in your area. Some states may require licensing in addition to certification. In addition, some states will let you substitute relevant work experience for practicum. Before you can take the board-certified behavioral analyst (BCBA) exam, you must first pass an online, competency-based training module. This 8-hour module is available through the gateway on the BACB website: https://www.bacb.com/. In order to become certified as an ABA, you must pass the board-certified behavioral analyst (BCBA) exam. Visit the BACB website to find available examination dates as well as information on the content and structure of the exam. For instance, you’ll find that the BCBA exam is comprised of 150 multiple-choice questions and 10 ungraded “pilot” questions. Some states require ABA licensing in addition to certification. Though requirements vary based on location, to obtain a license you’ll generally need to submit a fee, a licensing form, proof of education and experience, and an attestation of moral character.

TL;DR in English:


Make sure your iPad is completely unplugged and press the "Sleep" button on the top of your iPad or turn your iPad off completely. If you have it, remove your iPad Cleaning Cloth from its case. Check your iPad's screen for any debris or large particles. If necessary, use compressed air to blow off any debris to avoid scratching your iPad's screen. Place your iPad Cleaning Cloth on your iPad's screen. Gently rub the iPad Cleaning Cloth in a circular motion until the screen is clean. Inspect for any remaining patches of oil or grime. Repeat after every use or as needed. Avoid using the following items to clean an iPad.

The variety will depend on what you expect from the nasturtium, as well as the space you have available:  Indian Cress - this is a vigorous trailing grower, good for a large garden; it's also known as  the common garden nasturtium. The flowers come in shades of orange, yellow and red and it should flower all summer. This is an ideal plant to train up a trellis or fence. Dwarf nasturtium - a small bush variety, better for a smaller garden space. It has a wide range of flower shades and is easy to control in the garden. Peach Melba - has yellow flowers with orange-red centers, a popular addition to salads. Salmon Baby - has a unique orange-pink hue that looks great in the garden. Nasturtiums are commonly started indoors so they'll begin to flower as soon as possible in the spring, after the last frost has passed. If you want to start your seeds indoors, plan to do so four to six weeks before the last spring frost. To start the seeds indoors,  Plant each seed in a peat pot, which can be transplanted directly to the ground to avoid disturbing the roots. Use seed substrate, rather than potting soil. Keep the seeds in a bright window, and keep the peat moist. Plant the seedlings after the last frost of the spring has passed. Nasturtiums like full sun, but they need to be shielded from midday summer heat. Since they're so low maintenance, nasturtiums are excellent for growing in spots that need covering up or for those stark, unloved parts of your garden.  Nasturtiums don't mind growing in a container; they'll flower just as profusely in a container as in the ground. Hanging baskets are also an ideal choice. Nasturtiums like loose, well-drained soil that retains moisture. They prefer soil that is not rich, so don't use fertilizer. If there is too much fertilizer in the soil, nasturtiums focus on producing more leaves rather than flowers.Avoid any area with heavy, wet clay soil. If you're direct sowing seeds, plant them 10 inches apart and about ½ inch deep. If you're transplanting seedlings, keep them in their peat...

TL;DR in English: Choose a suitable nasturtium variety for your garden. Consider starting the seeds indoors. Select a good planting spot. Prepare the soil. Direct sow or transplant seedlings after the last frost.

Angels are known for their amazing bodies – after all, their work clothes are lingerie- and their diets reflect this. There is no clear diet for an Angel body, but all models stress healthy eating.  For breakfast, eat something high in protein, like Eggs Benedict or oatmeal. For lunch, eat a protein like chicken or fish, with some vegetables and fruit. For dinner, eat sushi and rice. Occasionally treat yourself to carbohydrates and desserts, but eat them in moderation. Eating right is not enough; to have the lean, toned body of an Angel, you’ll also have to make working out a priority. Angels differ in their preferred exercise regimens, but they all have found methods of working out that they really enjoy.  For long, lean muscles, try yoga, pilates and ballet. To burn fat, try biking, running or boxing. Some Angels will cut out alcohol in the month preceding a big show. Reducing alcohol intake is a great way to cut empty calories, and will also go a long way towards improving the quality of your skin.  In addition to cutting out alcohol, make sure to drink water every day. Drinking a half-gallon of water will aid in digestion and help cut tummy bloat.

TL;DR in English: Eat a clean diet. Find a workout that you love. Cut out alcohol.

Wet nail polish is easier to remove while it is wet. The oils in the baby wipe will also help dissolve the nail polish, making it even easier to remove. It is ideal for young children and sensitive areas, such as the face. Dampen the corner of a soft towel with some oil, and gently rub the affected area. The oil should help dissolve the nail polish, and make it come off. Remove any oily residue with some warm water and gentle soap. The oil will also help nourish and soften the skin. Do not use non-acetone nail polish remover on the face. Dampen a cotton ball with some non-acetone nail polish remover and rub the affected area until the polish comes off. Rinse the area with some soap and warm water. Non-acetone nail polish remover is gentler than regular nail polish remover, but it may still leave the skin feeling dry. If this happens, try rubbing some hand lotion or cream over the area once you are done. Sometimes, soaking in water and a little bit of scrubbing with soap and a wash cloth may be all that's needed to loosen up dried nail polish. Be sure to use warm water, soap, and a mildly-abrasive washcloth or sponge. Gently scrub the area until the nail polish peels off. The warm water should also help it come off. Plan on the bath taking 15 to 20 minutes for best results. The nail polish will eventually wear off after a few days. Throughout the day, the skin will come in contact with clothing, toys, pillows, and towels. All of this will create friction, which will be enough to help peel the polish off. Young children may also learn from this experience, and not paint their face with nail polish again.

TL;DR in English: Remove the nail polish while it is still wet using a baby wipe. Try using baby oil, coconut oil, or olive oil on sensitive areas, such as the face. Use non-acetone nail polish remover on hands and feet. Try taking a bath or shower. Let the nail polish wear off on its own.

With so many brands and choices, it is easy to be overwhelmed with selecting a shampoo. When it comes to selecting the best shampoo, decide what your hair needs most. If you dye or add color to your hair, select shampoos that will protect your treatment. Also, most shampoos have extra benefits such as volume and shine. Purchasing multiple shampoos for different benefits is a good idea because most shampoos have a long shelve life. Hair is both young and old, with the younger being closest to the scalp and the natural oils. By lathering from the root to the tip, you help move the oils to the oldest, driest parts of the hair. Doing this will help longer hair stay healthy without worries of dried, split ends. Washing hair boils down to two parts, the lather and the rinse. For the lather, a warm temperature helps ensure the shampoo gets a good lather while rinsing away soap particles. For the final rinse, cool water helps ingredients lock in to your hair.  Avoid using really hot temperatures. Too much hot water can damage hair and dry up your scalp. Rinse out all soap. The amount of shampoo you use is up to you, but do not leave soap in your scalp. Shampoo does only so much for hair. Conditioner helps two fold. It makes hair more manageable, and it helps prevent split ends. Utilize a good conditioner after rinsing out your hair. When showering, leave the conditioner in your hair for a while before rinsing it out, and even then, spend less time rinsing out conditioner than you would shampoo. Figuring out the best conditioner for you can be trial and error. The key to a good conditioner is one that helps you style your hair. After a shower, our hair is at its most vulnerable. Fresh from cleaning, hair can be damaged easily if dried too aggressively. Be sure to damp the scalp and be gentle with the tips. For better drying, try a microfiber towel; it's smoothness and lightweight help ensure gliding through the hair. For another simple trick that is more cost efficient, use a t-shirt. A t-shirt will not have the rough...

TL;DR in English: Select the best shampoo for your hair type. Lather your hair from the root to the tip. Use a good water temperature for washing your hair. Apply conditioner to your hair. Dry your hair well.

Powdered graphite is a special dry lubricant that can be found in most hardware or department stores. It is designed to encourage smooth movement between two metal surfaces without attracting grime, which means it won’t gum up like oil-based lubricants. If your lock is so sticky that you can barely get your key in and out, you may need something as tough as powdered graphite.  Once applied, the graphite particles form a fine layer on the surface of the metal, lubricating and “brushing” away dust and dirt. A small container of powdered graphite can be purchased in most places for as little as $2. Most containers of powdered graphite have a solid plastic film covering the tip that will need to be removed prior to use. Take a utility knife or sharp pair of scissors and snip the plastic off the end of the nozzle. Be sure to make a large enough opening that the graphite can flow freely. Place the end of the nozzle up to the opening of the lock. Depending on the size of the bottle, you may be able to actually fit the nozzle part of the way inside the opening. If not, just hold it flush to the lock. It should still be able to penetrate deep enough to lubricate the locking mechanism.  Make sure you’re holding the bottle level so that graphite doesn’t escape around the opening. Consider covering the area of your door around the lock to guard it from stray graphite particles Squeeze the bottle gently to release a few puffs of powdered graphite into the lock. Try not to use an excessive amount—graphite is a potent substance, so a little bit will go a long way. Allow the graphite to start working on the lock for a minute or two.  Start by using a little bit of lubricant and apply more if the lock still sticks. Handle powdered graphite carefully. Otherwise, the fine black dust can get everywhere, staining surfaces and creating a big mess. Test the lock by inserting and removing your key once or twice. You shouldn’t have any trouble getting it in and out of the lock now. Turn the key in both directions to see how fluidly...

TL;DR in English: Get a tube of powdered graphite. Cut the plastic tip off the end of the bottle. Hold the tip of the bottle up to the lock. Inject some powdered graphite into the lock. Try your key in the lock. Repeat as needed.

Remove any additional external cords and/or electronics that may still be connected to the iPad. The Cleaning Cloth is the black microfiber cloth that came with the iPad packaging. Briskly shake the cloth in the air to remove any loose particles from the microfiber. You don't want to accidentally turn the debris into an abrasive by rubbing it over the screen. Note: if your compressed air produces patches of frozen air, be careful to avoid getting any moisture into one of the iPad's openings, in particular, as well as on the screen itself. If you don't have the Cleaning Cloth that came with the iPad, you can also use:  Any microfiber cloth Any lens cloth you might use on your glasses Any soft, lint-free cloth Do not use: cloths, towels, paper towels, or any similar items on your iPad. These damage the screen of the iPad.  You will see that with just a few circular strokes, your iPad will be shining like new! This will help to keep your iPad clean and clear of fingerprints and smudges. iPads have an oleophobic coating on the screen, which is sensitive and only requires a fine cloth to clean. The following items will damage the oleophobic coating if used to clean the iPad:  Window or household cleaners Aerosol sprays Solvents Alcohol Ammonia Abrasives

People who are self-absorbed are usually waiting for people to compliment them. If you not only love compliments but live for them, then you may be self-absorbed. It's normal if you take a compliment as an unexpected delight or surprise, but feeling that you’re owed a compliment because you're so great is characteristic of self-absorption. Compliments should be happy “extras” that give you a boost, not expectations. If you have trouble accepting other ways of doing things, you may believe that you are the only one that knows best. Whether you’re planning a project at work or organizing a dance at your school, if you think that you know exactly how to do things and hate it when other people take the reins, then you may need to work on becoming more flexible.  You might hate not being able to take the credit for something or admitting that someone else was right, but doing so can help you become more open. For example, if you find yourself feeling angry, annoyed, or even livid that someone else is trying to do things a different way, even if it’s just a lab partner who has a new idea for a project, your ego may be getting in the way of your progress. People who are self-absorbed may have trouble feeling happy for others who are receiving praise or recognition. If someone in your circle receives praise, whether it’s your sibling getting praise for a good grade or a co-worker for wrapping up an amazing project, then your natural reaction should be to feel happy for the person. If you find yourself feeling jealous, angry, or confused about why you’re not the one getting the credit, then you may need to work on becoming less self-absorbed. If you routinely forget birthdays, high school graduations, promotions, or other important events in your friends' lives, but still expect others to remember personal milestones, then it may be because you’re too focused on yourself. While we all get busy and miss the occasional milestone, consistently forgetting important events of your friends is a sign of self-absorption. Ask...

TL;DR in English: Stop wanting or expecting praise. Be flexible about different ways of doing things. Let go of jealousy over others’ accomplishments. See if you remember birthdays, milestones, or other important events in other people's lives. Develop friendships with a variety of personalities. Be kinder to everyone.

When you light the paper on fire, you want to be in a safe environment with no flammable objects around. This could be a laboratory or a neutral environment like on the pavement of your driveway. Bring the papers that you dried, matches, and a flame-proof container like a baking tray or measuring cup, as well as a fire extinguisher. First make sure that the flash paper is completely dry because the trick won’t work if it is still partially wet. When you have checked that it’s dry, use a pair of heatproof tongs or forceps to hold up the piece of flash paper over the flame-proof container. Light the match, then hold it up to the flash paper. You will see that the paper immediately catches fire, then starts to quickly burn down without producing any ash or residue! After you finish playing with your flash paper, put any additional pieces of paper in a safe location like a drawer or envelope, as they are extremely flammable!

TL;DR in English: Bring the paper to a neutral location. Hold a piece of flash paper up with forceps or tongs. Light the flash paper on fire.

Hold the tip of the left end of the tie with your hand so it’s pulled over the right end. Hold the tip of the right end of the tie with your other hand. The left end should be hanging straight down, with the right end wrapped around it. When you look down, you should see the back of the left end of the tie. Continue to hold both ends with your hands. The left end of the tie should now be looped around the right end. Hold the left end of the tie so it’s pointing down at an angle. The right end of the tie should still be pointing straight down. Bring the tip of the right end through the loop, in front of the top button of your shirt and behind where the right and left end cross at your collar. The back of the left end of the tie should be facing out as you’re pulling it up through the loop. This is the loop you made when you wrapped the left end over, under, then over the right end. Keep pulling until all of the left end is through the loop. Pull down on the left end of the tie as you’re pulling the loop up. If you’re tie feels too tight, pull the loop down a little bit to loosen it. If your tie feels too loose, pull the loop up closer to your collar.

TL;DR in English: Pass the left end of the knit tie over the right end. Wrap the left end of the knit tie under the right end. Bring the left end of the knit tie over the right end again. Pass the left end up through the loop around your collar. Bring the left end down through the loop around the right end. Pull the loop up toward your collar to tighten your tie into place.

Forgiveness is about accepting what has happened and moving forward. It is not a denial of the betrayal or a justification of what the other person did. It does not guarantee that the other person won’t hurt you again, but it can bring you a sense of power and peace.  You can choose not to forgive, but keep in mind that if you dwell on the broken trust, you might experience depression, anxiety, anger, and lack of connection with others.  You can forgive someone without reconciling or staying in the relationship. You can start the process of forgiveness by reflecting on how the experience of broken trust has affected you and your relationship to the other person. You can also reflect on the positive times in your relationship. What do you miss about your relationship and how would you like to get back to that?  If you get stuck: Consider the other person’s perspective and what you would want if you were in their position. Consider other times and experiences in life where your trust was broken or you broke someone’s trust. How were you able to forgive or were others able to forgive you? Consider journaling, talking to a friend or loved one, or talking to a counselor to help guide you. Instead of replaying and reliving the hurt feelings in your head, try to shift your focus to looking for healthy relationships and experiences that bring you happiness, hope, and peace.If you get overwhelmed in feeling the hurt while you’re trying to forgive, try practicing these techniques to ease your stress level:  Deep breathing Meditation Mindfulness exercises Forgiveness is not complete without reflecting on what you’ve learned. Use this experience to set boundaries and expectations in future relationships. Above all, trust yourself. If you’re unable to move on and completely forgive just yet, it might be too difficult to be around the person who broke your trust.

TL;DR in English: Understand what forgiveness is. Begin to forgive. Shift your emotions. Learn and move on.

If you find a photograph in a book that you want to mention in your research paper, provide a citation to the book as a whole, rather than the photograph specifically. Follow the APA citation method for the type of print publication where the photograph appears. For a book, you'd use the basic citation for a book. If you found the photograph in a magazine or journal, you'd use the appropriate citation format for that medium. When you discuss the photograph in your paper, you can include anything else you consider necessary that wouldn't have been included in the basic reference for the book where the photograph appears.  For example, if the photographer is important, you might mention their name: "The photographs of Ansel Adams give viewers a better understanding of how the western United States looked before modern development." You may also want to include any information about the photograph that differs significantly from the publication information about the book itself. For example, you may find a photograph you want to reference that was taken in 1924, but the book where the photograph appears was published in 2015. Include the photograph's date in your text. When you cite a photograph in text, your parenthetical citation references the book's author and the year the book was published. Treat a photograph like a direct quote and include a page number. For example, an Ansel Adams photograph in a 2015 book by Paul Smith might have the in-text parenthetical citation "(Smith, 2015, p. 24)."

TL;DR in English: Reference the work in which the photograph appears. Provide additional details in your text. Include the page number in in-text citations.

Once you've received a coded message, write down the very first letter of the encoded word.  From here, write down every other letter you find.  This will help you break the encoded word into its original halves, letting you recreate the original word.  For example, start with the encoded word “sreect”.  The letter “S” would be the first letter to write down. Write down every other letter in the code after “S”.  This would result in “sec”, which is the original first half of the word before it was encoded. After you've written down the first letter of the word and every other letter after it, you can start on the second letter.  Write this second letter down and then write down every letter after it.  This will help you recreate the second half of the original word before it was encoded.  As an example, imagine you are decoding the word “sreect”.  The letter “R” would be your starting point for this step. Write down every other letter after “r” to complete the second half of the original word.  In this case, the result is “ret”. Now that you have the two original halves of the word, you can put them together the recreate the original word.  Take each half of the word and join them together to reveal the original word.  If everything worked out properly, you should now have successfully decoded the word and you will be able to read it normally.  As an example, the original coded word may have been “sreect”. When the original halves of the word were recreated, the result was “sec” and “ret”. These two halves combine to form the original word “secret”. You may have a message that is longer than one word.  To read the entire message, use the decoding technique on each individual word.  Once you decode each word, you will be able to clearly read the complete message.

TL;DR in English: Look at the first letter of the encoded word. Write down the second letter in the word. Recreate the entire word. Finish decoding the message.

. This will help you maintain a healthy diet and have more energy. Fresh, whole foods are a better choice than processed foods because they contain more nutrition and healthy vitamins. Processed foods — such as those found in microwaveable meals, fast food, and prepared foods — are high in calories. They often include preservatives, added sugar, added fat, dyes, and more. Such foods provide little nutrition, which translates to less energy. Whole foods — which are rich in nutrients — provide much more energy to your body. They include fruits, vegetables, unsalted nuts, lean meats, fresh fish or shellfish, eggs, low-fat milk, plain yogurt, and low-fat cheese. . Keep in mind the importance of whole foods and make sure your diet is well-balanced, meaning all food groups are represented. A balanced diet will promote optimum nutrition and help you feel more energetic every day.  Fruits and vegetables should make up half your diet. Eat the amount of grains that corresponds to your age, sex, and level of activity. The USDA MyPlate initiative can help you find the correct amount to eat, half of which should be whole grains.  Eat the amount of protein that corresponds to your age, sex, and level of activity. The USDA MyPlate initiative can also help you with protein.  Dairy is also part of a balanced diet, and MyPlate can help with that as well. Eating too little, or eating too much, can effect your energy levels. Skipping meals or skimping on calories slows your metabolism, as your body is attempting to conserve energy, and may lead you to feel lethargic. On the other hand, overeating (especially refined carbohydrates and sugary snacks) can cause a spike in your blood sugar levels, which will cause a burst of energy, followed by a crash that will leave you feeling tired (and probably cranky). Try eating three meals daily or six small meals, spaced evenly throughout the day.   Avoid binge eating. You may be good at controlling portions; however, if you find yourself suddenly losing control and eating large amounts of...

If you're looking to save money on food, check out your local farmer's market. Oftentimes, farmer's markets prices are cheaper for certain items.  Browse a few farmer's markets first to get a sense of the price range. Produce is sometimes more expensive if grown locally or organically, but items like dairy and cheese may be cheaper from a market.  Some local farmers and willing to negotiate discount prices with consumers if you agree to buy consistently every week. You can ask around the market to see which farmers are interested in working with consumers and then strike up a conversation.  Another option is joining a food co-op. This is an autonomous organization in which the members decide which foods to sell, where to get the food, and so on. You can often find seasonal, natural products offered to members at reasonable prices. Most grocery stores offer some kind of loyalty program that grants you access to certain discounts. Sign up for loyalty programs the stores where you most frequently grocery shop.  Some loyalty programs allow you access to both store issued coupons and manufacturer's coupons. This means you can easily double up on savings.  Some stores have in-store discounts only available to loyalty members. You'll want to sign up for a program to get these deals.  Ask cashiers about loyalty programs and how to sign up. Ask if they offer benefits like cash back rewards and whether you can combine member savings with other purchases. Familiarize yourself with the clearance aisle of local supermarkets. Most supermarkets have clearance aisle in the back of the store where discount items are sold. While the clearance aisle may not always offer items you need, it's worth taking a look every time you go shopping in case something you buy normally is on clearance. Most towns have a variety of discount grocery stores that offer lower prices. Find a variety of discount stores in your area and consider making certain purchases there.  Staple items like flour, sugar, and cooking oils can usually be purchased...

You can use shot glasses, or small paper or plastic cups to pour the mixture into. Usually, you will pour two ounces (60 milliliters) into each cup. You can pour more or less into the cups depending on the size of the cup. Put the molds on a cookie sheet before putting them into the fridge. This will keep them from moving when you transfer them. Allow them to sit in the fridge for two hours. Look at the Jello shots after two hours of being in the fridge. The mixture should have solidified into a gelatinous form by now. If the mixture hasn't solidified, allow the shots to sit in the fridge for up to two more hours.

You might want to take care of windows first, but many people prefer to save this for last to prevent any splatter or mist from clouding a clean window when working on other parts of the car. Newspaper and microfiber towels are highly absorbent and you don't have to worry about leaving lint or streaks behind. This is also a cheaper alternative, as cloth can be reused and newspaper is typically less expensive than paper products. This will prevent you from having to clean up drip marks or trails. Using a different wiping direction between interior and exterior can help reveal any spots you've missed. Not only is this option usually more affordable, you can also take pride in the fact that this homemade cleaner is environmentally safe. You can mix these together in a spray bottle by gently shaking the solution. After mixing, the solution is ready to be used. You can use vinegar and water to good effect, too, if you lack alcohol. Be sure you remember to wipe from top to bottom with suitable rag, cloth, or paper product. For especially dirty windows, you should have two rags, one for wiping away grime, and the other for finishing and drying excess. Spray your car window or windshield with vinegar and simply wipe it clean. If your bug stain is especially bad, allow the vinegar to soak into the stain before wiping it away. Seltzer water has also been reported to, after allowing to soak for few minutes, loosen insects stuck to your car.

TL;DR in English: Save it for last. Forgo paper towels. Wipe windows clean from top to bottom. Make your own window cleaner. Collect one cup of water, half a cup of vinegar, and a quarter of cup alcohol for your homemade window cleaner. Spray your cleaner onto your windows. Remove stubborn bug splatter with undiluted vinegar. Use a Steel Wool (0000) to remove stubborn watermarks. Gently rub the windshield with the steel wool in a circular movement. Wash and allow to dry.

Keep pipes in cold areas wrapped with "pipe sponge" covers, rags, or other insulating material. If an electrical outlet is nearby, you can keep them wrapped with electrical heat tape, unplugged, then plug the tape in whenever cold weather arrives. Check your crawlspaces and external walls for holes, and repair them to minimize exposure to cold air. Use wind barriers or faucet covers to protect faucets and valves on the exterior of the house. During cold weather, turn on a 60-watt incandescent light bulb near the area of pipe that previously froze, or just below it. If used to warm crawl spaces and other unsupervised areas, make sure there are no flammable materials kept in the same space. It is much more difficult for pipes to freeze if water is running through them since the water will usually travel through the pipe before it has time to freeze. During sub-freezing weather, keep faucets slightly open to allow a trickle of water. You can adjust the ballast in your toilet tank to keep it running even when the tank is full.

TL;DR in English:


Store smaller items in pouches to keep them from getting lost. Put trash items in a small Ziploc and empty it every day. Use a removable purse organizer if you like to switch bags. Use the smallest size purse you can so it’s easy to carry around and keep neat. Wipe down or wash your bag on a weekly basis to keep it clean.

Fatty and spicy foods are more difficult for your body to digest, so they irritate your stomach and cause heartburn easier. Prepare your meals by grilling, searing, or baking them so they’re healthier and less oily. Choose milder spices or simply stick to salt and pepper for a basic seasoning.  If you eat out at restaurants, try to choose baked or grilled options rather than fried foods. Chocolate and peppermint may also trigger heartburn. These foods are alkaline, which means they help counteract acid so it’s not as irritating. Try to have foods like bananas, melons, cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, and cucumber since they’re the most helpful. Eat 1–2 servings of fruits or vegetables with each meal to maintain a healthy diet.  Celery, lettuce, and watermelon can also be helpful since they’re watery and dilute stomach acid. Citrus fruits and tomatoes are acidic, so they may make your heartburn feel worse. Fiber fills up your stomach and makes you feel more so you’re less likely to keep eating. Enjoy foods like whole grains, brown rice, sweet potatoes, peas, and broccoli to get fiber throughout the day. Aim to have between 20–40 grams of fiber daily.  For example, 1 slice of whole wheat bread has about 2 grams of fiber, 1 cup (175 g) of broccoli has about 5 grams, and 1 cup (150 g) of peas has about 9 grams. Gradually increase the amount of fiber in your diet, since too much at once may give you gas, bloating, or cramps. When you prepare meals, only eat the recommended portion listed on the packaging. For example, typical serving sizes are around 2–3 ounces (57–85 g) of meat and about ½ cup (125 g) of vegetables per meal. Only eat enough food to feel satisfied so you don’t feel uncomfortable later on. Store any leftover food for later if you feel full rather than forcing yourself to eat them. If you need to, have 4–5 smaller meals throughout the day rather than a few larger ones. If you still feel hungry, try drinking water since your body may confuse dehydration for hunger. Take smaller bites and set your...

TL;DR in English: Cut greasy and spicy foods out of your diet. Eat fruits, vegetables, and nuts to help neutralize your stomach acid. Incorporate more fiber into your meals to avoid overeating. Reduce your portion sizes so you don’t overeat. Eat slowly to help your body break down food easier. Stop drinking coffee so you have less acid in your stomach. Limit the amount of alcohol you drink.

Write down a detailed account of the rules and regulations of your fictional dystopian world. You can then refer to these notes as you compose the novel. Having a clear set of dos and don’ts will make it easier for you to immerse the reader in the world of the novel. It will also ensure you keep the world consistent and easy to follow. To create the rules, ask yourself:  What are the laws of the world? Is there a legal system, and if so, what does it look like? How are people punished for their actions? Does everyone receive the same punishment for their actions? What is considered taboo in the world? A strong opening line will set the tone for the rest of the novel and draw the reader in. Come up with a first line that is descriptive and unique. It should shock or startle the reader so they pay attention and read on.  For example, you may go for a descriptive, moody opening like the first line of William Gibson’s Neuromancer: “The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.” Or you may go for first lines that gives character and personality like Chuck Palahniuk’s Choke: “If you’re going to read this, don’t bother. After a couple pages, you won’t want to be here. So forget it. Go away. Get out while you’re still in one piece. Save yourself.” Avoid making your dystopian novel just about the dystopian world. Have a protagonist that feels like the center of the story. Show them trying to survive in the dystopia. Make them the guide to the world for the reader. Having a strong main character will help readers feel a personal connection to the story. For example, you may have a main character who is employed by the shadowy government in control in the dystopian world. You may then show the main character struggling to help others overthrow the government. Do not simply let your minor characters feel like stand ins or caricatures. Make your minor characters just as detailed as your main character. Give your minor characters their own dramas, feelings, and conflicts to sort out. Show...

TL;DR in English: Create the rules of the dystopian world. Start with a strong opening. Make the main character central to the story. Have well rounded minor characters. Describe the world with sensory details. Create conflict using the dystopian world.

One simple way to eat less is to begin measuring portion sizes. Sticking to a limited portion can help you eat less.  Consider buying a food scale or measuring cups. Use these daily to measure all meals and snacks or to use during food prep. Typical portion sizes for the five food groups are: 3 – 4 ounces of protein, 1/2 cup of chopped fruit, 1 cup of vegetables, 2 cups of leafy greens, 1/2 cup of grains, and 1 cup of milk and yogurt or 2 oz of cheese.  Serve yourself one portion of protein, 1 – 2 fruits or vegetables and 1 serving of grains at most meals. When you're measuring your portions, it might seem like there is a lot less food on your plate. This might make you feel deprived when you first move to measuring portions.  Using a smaller plate can help you trick your brain into thinking there is a larger volume of food. The same portion will take up more space on a smaller plate. Use salad plates, appetizer plates or even saucers to help cut down on the available space on your plate. Consider purchasing blue plates. Studies have shown that people are more likely to leave food on their plates if their plates were a blue color.  Buy smaller tupperware or take-away containers to pack meals. If you typically pack a meal, make sure to use smaller tupperware as well. When you're eating, try to remove extra temptations from the table. This can help you focus on your meal only and decrease the chance you'll eat more than you should.  Don't bring bowls or platters of food to the table when you're able. This may tempt you to serve yourself seconds.  Try to put all the food in the appropriate containers after serving yourself one portion. Package up leftovers and store in the refrigerator for leftovers. It may also be helpful to only leave out healthier, low-calorie items if you feel you need more food. Keep out vegetables or fruit for a possible second serving. Try to leave some food on your plate, no matter how small, every time you have a meal.  Many of us are brought up not to waste food and habitually finish a...

TL;DR in English: Measure every portion size. Use smaller plates. Remove temptations at meals. Leave food on your plate. Order small portions at restaurants.

When dressing for a long trip, make comfort your number one priority. Dress in soft, loose clothing that will let you stretch and move around easily. Layers will help keep comfortable in any temperature—from hot sun through the window to cold air conditioning inside the bus. You can either get up and walk around to stretch your legs, or stretch every hour or so while sitting. This will help you stay comfortable during the trip and stimulate blood flow. When sitting, stretch your hamstrings by straightening one leg out in front of you while sitting up straight and arching your back. Hold this pose for thirty seconds, then switch legs. Repeat three times for each leg. It can be difficult to fall asleep on a jostling bus, but to help yourself fall asleep more easily, bring some earplugs or headphones as well as an eye mask to block out sound and light. This will help you create the illusion of a quiet, dark environment. You should also bring a travel pillow to support your neck and keep you comfortable as you sleep. If you have difficulty sleeping while traveling, try sleeping aids like lavender essential oil, melatonin, or drowsy-inducing medication. Since the bus driver will probably only stop at gas stores and convenience stations at scheduled points along the trip, make sure to bring your own water bottle and snacks. When packing, look for snacks that will keep your energy up and won’t make a mess.  Fresh fruit, string cheese, and individually wrapped sandwiches are great options, as they’re filling and energizing. Kettle chips will also satisfy any salt cravings and still keep your fingers clean. Avoid bringing nuts in case anyone around you has a nut allergy. You should also avoid anything perishable, like mayonnaise or milk, as well as messy snacks, like Cheetos or anything powder-coated. Bringing your own snacks is especially important for those with specific diets, such as vegans and vegetarians, or dietary restrictions, such as intolerances to gluten or dairy.

TL;DR in English: Wear comfortable, layered clothing. Stretch once in a while to relieve tension and stiffness. Get some sleep. Bring your own water and snacks.

Stop when the straw is halfway through the hole. If the straw falls through because the hole is too big, use glue to hold it in place. Make the hook about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long. If the hook touches the sides of the jar when the lid is on, it's too big.If there isn't enough wire hanging down through the straw to make a hook with, unwind some of the spiraled end of the wire so you can push more down through the straw. Slide the holes you punched in the aluminum pieces onto the hook. When you're done, both pieces should be hanging right next to each other on the hook. To test your electroscope, get an inflated balloon or a rubber-soled shoe and quickly rub it back and forth between your hands. Then, hold the object next to the copper spiral at the top of your electroscope. You should see the 2 pieces of aluminum foil move away from each other.  The more charged an object is, the more the pieces of foil will move away from each other. Try testing out different objects to see which ones have strong charges and which ones don’t!

TL;DR in English: Slide the straw through the hole in the jar lid. Bend the straight end of the wire to make a hook. Hang the pieces of aluminum foil from the hook end of the wire. Screw the lid on the jar and test out your electroscope.

Using small, zippered bags is the fast track to an organized purse! They’re great for storing smaller, easy-to-lose items that are too important not to pack in your purse, like toiletries, makeup, or pens. Pick up a few pouches, choosing different colors so you know what items go where. Even the most organized purse accumulates trash from time to time! To keep wrappers and receipts from dirtying up your main compartment, designate a small Ziploc as your “trash bag.” Fill it up throughout the day and toss the items into the garbage when you get home.  You can also use a small prescription pill bottle to hold trash. Reuse your trash baggie as long as you can, until it gets dirty. A purse organizer is basically a small bag-within-a-bag, complete with helpful compartments, that you slide into your larger bag. It’s a great tool for bags that don’t have their own divided sections, and can also make it easy to switch bags if you like to rotate between a few.  Grab an organizer online or from a department store. Take care of your organizer just as you would your normal purse! Keep it as neat as you can and designate sections to important items to stay organized. You can use whatever size of bag you want, but larger bags do tend to accumulate more clutter than smaller ones. Prioritize the things you really need to carry around with you all the time and leave some of the less necessary items at home when you can. You can also switch between bags when you need to. A small or medium-sized purse might be good for everyday use, but you may want a bigger tote for some special occasions, like a beach trip. Regular maintenance will keep the outside of your bag just as neat and clean as the inside! Try to give your purse a little attention every week to address stains and protect it from ordinary wear and tear.

Once you write out the full footnote once, you don't have to use the full footnote again. For any subsequent time you paraphrase or quote the same work, you can use a shortened form that leaves out the publication information. For a shortened footnote, you don't have to include the author's full name, just their last name. If there's more than one author, only include the first author's name followed by the abbreviation et al.  For example: "Smith," An example with more than one author: "Smith, et al.," For the shortened footnote, you don't have to include the entire title of the work if it's long. Choose 2 or 3 key words from the title that will allow your readers to easily recognize the work.Typically you'll choose the first 2 or 3 words from the title, excluding articles such as "a" or "the."  For example, if the title of the work is "His Name Is My Name," you might shorten the title to "His Name." Include your shortened title in italics after the author's name. For example: "Smith, His Name" If you paraphrased or quoted a specific part of the work you're citing in your text, the shortened footnote ends with the page number where the paraphrased or quoted information appears.  For example: "Smith, His Name, 101." You don't need to repeat the URL if you accessed the work online. End the shortened footnote with a period after the author's name and shortened title. for multiple notes from the same source. In your paper, you may paraphrase or quote the same source several times in a row. You still must place a footnote after each instance where you reference that work.  If you have several footnotes that reference the same source, you can use the abbreviation Ibid. instead of repeating the shortened citation. If the material you're paraphrasing or quoting is found on the same page as the previous footnote, you don't need a page number. However, if it appears on a different page, you should place a comma after the abbreviation "Ibid." and add the page number.

TL;DR in English: Use shortened footnotes after the first reference. Start with the author's last name. Provide a shortened title of the work. Include the relevant page number. Use the abbreviation Ibid.

In the user manual, you'll find a variety of user/installation instructions, including voltage requirements. Reading the user manual will also give you the dimensions of the hole you'll need to cut in which to place your lights. Installing beautiful recessed lighting may be all the rage, but if your circuit is overloaded, what use will they be for you? If you are taking out old fixtures and installing new ones, you can safely add lights that draw as much amperage (or less) as the previous ones. If you want to add more, consult an electrician. For example, if you had 6 fixtures, each with 100 watt lights, your circuit can hold at least 600 watts before hitting capacity. It is a good idea to lock the circuit breaker panel while you work so that no one else can turn on the circuit. Never work with circuits that are energized. Use the manufacturer's template or make your own by cutting out a circle of paper. Place the template against the ceiling in the desired location and trace around it with a pencil, marking the center point as well. If you want to place your lights according to a straight pattern or in a straight line, consider buying or renting a laser level. This will allow you to plot out the holes for the recessed lighting extremely straight. There's nothing wrong with looking more professional. Use a stud sensor or other type of structure sensing device to locate any possible obstacles in the area where you're planning to install.  If you have an attic or crawl space directly above the light fixtures, start by drilling a 1/4 inch (~6 mm) hole through the ceiling at the center point of each circle. Next, go into the attic and visually check for obstructions around each hole; you will need the light fixture to fit between the ceiling joists. If a finished area is above the ceiling, you can check for obstructions with a wire coat hanger. Bend a length of the coat hanger at 90 degrees about 3 inches (~8 cm) in. Insert the bent wire into each hole you drilled, rotating the bent portion around to check for...

TL;DR in English: Read the installation instructions. If possible, consult an electrician to determine how much voltage your circuit can reliably carry. Shut off the power before beginning any work. Mark out the location of each light. Check for obstructions in the ceiling.

Unfortunately, "making it rain money" doesn't mean calling on the rain gods to summon dollar bills from the clouds. You'll need to get your hands on the greenbacks yourself. So find a job, help out your neighbors, and cash those checks. Go to the bank and ask for $1 bills. The more bills you have, the better. You want a veritable downpour, not a drizzle.  While you're at the bank, check to make sure the stacks of $1 bills (or $20s, if that's how you roll) don't stick together. Sometimes fresh bills, all crisp and hot off the presses, adhere to each other. If this is the case, ask for rain-able bills. The teller, if they've any sense, won't ask any questions. You'll be holding the money in your non-dominant hand and making it rain with the other. Make sure you have a firm grasp on the entire stack so none of it gets away from you. Only hold as much money in your palm as you can handle. If it goes too far above your fingertips, things could get unruly (or someone could run off with your cash). Keep the rest of your stacks nearby; any break in the rain and the effect just won't be the same. You know, where you place your four fingertips on top of the top bill and brush it away from you. That "I'll stay" signal sort of a resembles a "no more" hand gesture, but only gesturing forward. Try to go as quickly as possible at a speed you can maintain evenly. Move your hand holding the pile to the left and right, making it rain all around you. Walk around, leaving a trail of rain wherever you go. When Kanye makes it rain, no one bats an eye. If Honey Boo Boo were trying to make it rain, a few eyebrows would be raised (okay, maybe not). But the sentiment remains the same: act like this is just your normal Tuesday afternoon and the ground being rained on by you isn't worthy of your footsteps, much less your cheddar. Need a good starting point? Try wikiHow's How to Think and Act Like a Player (Playa). You want your face to say "I don't give a day-uhm," and simultaneously, "and you're welcome, suckers!"

TL;DR in English: Get some money. Hold the money in one hand in an orderly stacked pile. Peel the money off in a motion that resembles an "I'll stay" signal in blackjack. Maintain a carefree and arrogant countenance while making it rain.

Using the explicit formula and some basic algebra, you can find several pieces of information about an arithmetic sequence. In its original form, a(n)=a(1)+(n−1)d{\displaystyle a(n)=a(1)+(n-1)d}, the explicit formula is designed to solve for an and give you the nth term of a sequence. However, you can algebraically manipulate this formula and solve for any of the variables.  For example, suppose you have the end of a list of numbers, but you need to know what the beginning of the sequence was. You can rearrange the formula to give you a(1)=(n−1)d−a(n).{\displaystyle a(1)=(n-1)d-a(n).}  If you know the starting point of an arithmetic sequence and its ending point, but you need to know how many terms are in the list, you can rearrange the explicit formula to solve for n. This would be n=a(n)−a(1)d+1{\displaystyle n={\frac {a(n)-a(1)}{d}}+1}. If you need to review the basic rules of algebra to create this result, check out Do Algebra or Simplify Algebraic Expressions. You may know that the 50th term of an arithmetic sequence is 300, and you know that the terms have been increasing by 7 (the “common difference”), but you want to find out what the first term of the sequence was. Use the revised explicit formula that solves for a1 to find your answer. Use the equation a(1)=(n−1)d−a(n){\displaystyle a(1)=(n-1)d-a(n)}, and fill in the information that you know. Since you know that the 50th term is 300, then n=50, n-1=49 and a(n)=300. You also are given that the common difference, d, is 7. Therefore, the formula becomes a(1)=(49)(7)−300{\displaystyle a(1)=(49)(7)-300}. This works out to 343−300=43{\displaystyle 343-300=43}. The sequence that you have began at 43, and counted up by 7. Therefore, it looks like 43,50,57,64,71,78…293,300. Suppose you know all about the start and end of an arithmetic sequence, but you need to find out how long it is. Use the revised formula n=a(n)−a(1)d+1{\displaystyle n={\frac {a(n)-a(1)}{d}}+1}.  Suppose you know that a given arithmetic sequence begins at 100 and increases by 13. You are...

TL;DR in English: Rearrange the explicit formula to solve for other variables. Find the first term of a sequence. Find the length of a sequence.
