Say "secundaria" when you are referring to school grades 7-10, in Mexico. Say "preparatoria" or "bachillerato" when talking about school grades 10-12, in Mexico. Call school grades 7-11 "instituto", when referring to Spain. Call school grades 11 to college, "bachillerato" or "ciclos formativos", for Spain.

Often we might complain that no one seems to be there for us, but we don’t actually make requests of loved ones. If you are guilty of wishing friends or family would reach out to you, but never taking the initiative, it’s time to change that. Don’t expect others to read your mind. If you want company, ask for it. If you need a hug, tell someone. You can simply say to a friend, “Jessica, I’ve been feeling very lonely and unloved lately. Can we make plans together this weekend to hang out? I could use some company?” If you are always pointing out the differences between yourself and others, then you are making it hard to belong. When you stop paying attention to differences and focus on common ground, you will find more people with whom you can potentially connect.  Find your tribe by challenging yourself to get out more. Join a book club based on your favorite genre. Participate in a local Meetup of singles in your age group. Take a Pilates class at your community gym. When you enter these social situations look for similarities between you and others. Then, point them out to start conversations. You might say, “Ooh, I love your gym bag! It matches my leggings! Where’d you get it?” Empathy is basically the ability to experience what another person is experiencing, or walking in their shoes. When you are able to adequately understand the feelings and perspectives of others, you will feel more connected to the larger whole of humanity.  Instead of simply focusing on feeling unloved, strive to show more love and compassion to others through empathy. Start by improving your listening skills. Too frequently, we listen to reply rather than understand. When you are engaged in a conversation, orient towards the other person and make occasional eye contact. Eliminate distractions and fully focus on the other person’s message.  Try to imagine what they must be feeling based on their words. Mirror their emotional state by saying “Hmmm” or “Aww” as is appropriate. Then, summarize what you heard by saying “It sounds like...

TL;DR in English: Ask for support when you need it. Look for shared similarities. Aim for greater empathy. Volunteer.

Choose a sweatshirt or turtleneck the same color as your tentacles. You will be sewing the tentacles onto this, so pick an old one or buy one secondhand. A hood makes it easy to attach the eyes, but it is not mandatory. Sew them on starting from the inside of the shirt, so the stitches don't show. Use sturdy thread that can support the tentacles' weight, and keep sewing until the tentacles are well secured. You'll want three tentacles on each side, below your arms.  Bend the wires on the tentacles to change their position. For greater comfort, offset the tentacles a little forward, so your actual arms can hang at your side. If your sweatshirt doesn't have a hood, find a knit hat close to the same color as your shirt. If you can't find one and have extra tights fabric left over from earlier, you can glue or stitch the edges together to make a cap. To mimic the bulging eyes of an octopus, cut a ping pong ball in half. Draw a rectangular pupil onto each half using a permanent marker or black paint. Googly eyes are another option. Glue the eyes onto the hood or cap of your costume. Place them as symmetrically as you can, with the pupils in the same position.

TL;DR in English: Find a colorful top. Secure tentacles to the sides of the sweatshirt. Choose a cap. Make octopus eyes. Attach the eyes to the side of your head.

In addition to wearing your sling during the day, consider also wearing it at night, at least for a few weeks. Keeping your arm in a sling while in bed can help your shoulder remain stable while sleeping. With an arm sling snugly holding your shoulder in place and supporting it, you won’t have to worry about your arm moving and creating pain around while you're asleep.  Even when wearing an arm sling in bed, don't sleep on your sore shoulder because the compression can trigger pain and inflammation, which could wake you up. Wear a thin t-shirt under the arm sling while in bed so the skin around your neck and upper body doesn't get irritated. The best position for most people with shoulder surgeries to sleep in is in a reclined position because it puts less strain on the shoulder joint and surrounding soft tissues. To get into a reclined position while in bed, bolster your lower back and mid back with a few pillows. Alternatively, try sleeping in a reclining chair (Lay-Z-Boy style) if you have one — it might be more comfortable than propping yourself up in bed with pillows.  Avoid lying flat on your back as that position is often the most irritating to post-operative shoulders.  As your shoulder soreness / stiffness subsides with time, you can slowly lower yourself into a flatter (more horizontal) position gradually if it feels comfortable during the night. In terms of time frame, you'll most likely need to sleep in a semi-reclined position for 6 weeks or more depending on the type of surgery you had. While you're in bed and in a reclined position, prop up your injured arm with a medium-sized pillow placed under your elbow and hand — you can do this with or without a sling on. Doing so puts your shoulder in a position that encourages good blood flow to the joint and surrounding muscles, which is important for healing. Make sure to keep your elbow bent and the pillow snug underneath your armpit.  Alternatives to pillows include cushions and rolled up blankets or towels. As long as it comfortably elevates your...

TL;DR in English: Wear a sling while in bed. Sleep in a reclined position. Prop your injured arm up. Build a pillow fort or barrier.

To lose weight, you should try to exercise for 30 minutes, five days a week. Start out with lighter exercises and work your way up to a more intense exercise routine. However, it is always a good idea to talk to your doctor before beginning a new exercise regimen if you have gout.  Start out with light exercises like walking, swimming, cycling slowly, or gardening. For example, you can start walking as part of your exercise regimen. Walk slowly and for a short distance when you begin. As you grow stronger, walk more quickly and for longer distances. Once you have started exercising more frequently, start working in some more intense cardiovascular exercises. Cardio exercises will increase your body’s ability to use oxygen, which will help to metabolize uric acid and lose weight. Try activities like jogging, biking, swimming, hiking, roller -blading and dancing. On occasion, a gout attack can be brought on by physical activities. If you have an attack of gout you should:  Lay down and keep your affected leg or arm elevated. Bend the joint a bit while it is elevated. Protect the joint and do not move it around too much.

TL;DR in English: Try to exercise regularly. Try cardiovascular exercises. Get rest if you have a gout attack.

This is one of the most important motivation skills, and it is important to practice it daily. It's important to start monitoring your thoughts, and to recognize negative self-talk. Just spend a few days becoming aware of every negative thought. Then, after a few days, try squashing those negative thoughts like a bug, and then replacing them with a corresponding positive thought. Squash, “This is too hard!” and replace it with, “I can do this!” It sounds corny, but it works. Really.  Use affirmations. Try telling yourself something like “I'm not feeling super-athletic today, but I'm strong! I can finish this workout.” Thinking about how hard something is is a big problem for most people. Waking early sounds so hard! Just thinking about it makes you tired. But instead of thinking about how hard something is, think about what you will get out of it.  Try making a list of all the reasons why you want to accomplish your goal, and what you'll get out of it. For example, instead of thinking about how hard it is to wake early, focus on how good you'll feel when you're done, and how your day will be so much better with the extra time you have. The benefits of something will help energize you. Think about why you lost your excitement, then think about why you were excited in the first place. Can you get that back? What made you want to do the goal? What made you passionate about it? Try to build that up again, refocus yourself, get energized.  Try reading some inspirational stories. Inspiration can come from others who have achieved what you want to achieve, or who are currently doing it. Read other blogs, books, magazines. Google your goal, and read success stories. You will soon find yourself feeling more excited than ever. Find an inspirational setting. Some people do their best work sitting in a coffee shop, others holed up away from the world. Find whatever makes you feel energized and make an effort to incorporate it into your routine. Every little step along the way is a success — celebrate the fact that you...

TL;DR in English: Squash negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. Think about the benefits. Get excited again! Build on your successes. Get through the low points. Use visualization. Make contingency plans. Find pleasure again.

Determine the age level(s) of schooling to which you are referring. In the United States, high school refers to a compulsory education for students ages fourteen through eighteen.  However, this is not the case in many Spanish speaking countries. Schooling is broken up differently in other countries.   In Mexico, if you are referring to students age twelve to fifteen, students attend what is comparable to junior high school. This school is called "secundaria", and it is an extension of "educación básica" (elementary school). If you want more information about high school in Mexico, there are some government websites which provide information about "secundaria" in Mexico. These websites can be written in language that is difficult to read. However, if you read slowly and skim for graphs and visual representations, you can find some useful information. Students ages fifteen to eighteen attend what is called "preparatoria", "bachillerato", or "educación media superior". In Mexico, "el bachillerato" is the main track to university. "Prepartoria", on the other hand, is more geared toward vocational training so that when a student graduates they are ready to work in a specific vocation. For example, students who graduate from "prepartoria" might be ready to work as a laboratory technician. In Spain, students twelve to sixteen years of age attend either an "instituto de educación secundaria" (instituto for short), "colegio concertado", or "colegio privado". Schooling at this point is still compulsory. Some high schools are public, others are private, and some are both. In Chile, for example, there has been a major shift toward the privatization schools. Most parents will pay more for their students to attend the private or semi-private schools. At this point, schooling is not compulsory for all students. However, many students sixteen to eighteen years of age attend "bachillerato" or go to "ciclos formativos" for more school training.  Often the different high schools in Spanish speaking countries entail different...

Spray your garden’s vulnerable plants regularly with a commercial or homemade deer repellent. These repellents typically contain components like sulfur, ammonia salts and capsaicin which deer find unpleasant. Even the store-bought varieties are concocted with natural ingredients and don’t make use of harsh chemicals that might damage your plants’ growth. Simply mist your garden every couple of days.  If you’re not inclined to shell out the money for a commercial repellent, try mixing up your own with eggs, garlic, ammonia, and/or hot sauce blended with water.  Be careful about using repellents on crops you plan to harvest and eat yourself. Compounds like capsaicin aren’t dangerous, but may influence the taste of edible plants. Deer are notoriously skittish creatures and are quite easy to scare off with the right stimulus. One particularly effective strategy is to put in a couple motion-activated sprinkler posts at the far ends of your garden or wherever deer tend to sneak in. When they get close, they’ll suddenly be doused with a unexpected jet of water from the sprinkler, which will send them running.  Installing a motion-activated sprinkler system is a pricier option, but one that is guaranteed to have repeated success. Along with its deterrent benefits, a sprinkler is also a convenient way of making sure your garden or yard is getting enough water. Loud, spontaneous noises are a surefire way to get rid of inquisitive deer. Whether it’s an electronic noisemaker on a timer, a set of jarring wind chimes or a simple well-timed clap of your hands, a deer won’t take any chances with what’s generating the noise. Even leaving the back door open to let the sounds of household activity escape can be enough to dissuade a deer from coming any closer.  Electronic noisemakers can be programmed to emit regular tones that will scare away deer but won’t disturb the neighbors. Try fashioning a set of non-harmonic wind chimes from aluminum cans or hollow wood cuttings. Deer often travel in herds at night to forage, mate and...

TL;DR in English: Use a spray repellent. Install motion-activated sprinklers. Create noise to scare the deer off. Put in some automatic lights.

Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface.  Use a tire iron or the appropriate socket to loosen the lug nuts on the first rear wheel, then slide a jack beneath one of the vehicle’s rear designated jack points to lift the vehicle up.  Always use jack stands when working on a jacked up vehicle. Unscrew the lug nuts and remove the wheel. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual if you need assistance locating the designated jack points. With the wheel removed, you will be able to see the outside of the brake drum directly behind where the wheel used to be.  The center of the circular brake drum is a removable dust cap.  Slide a flat head screw driver into the gap beneath the dust cap and pry it toward you to remove it.  The dust cap may have rusted in place or could be stuck due to brake dust and road grime. If the cap doesn’t come off easily, spray it with rust remover like WD40 and allow it to sit for a minute before trying again. Beneath the dust cover, you’ll find the axle bearing nut.  This large nut is usually a 22 or 24 millimeter metric socket, or a 7/8” standard socket.  Use a breaker bar or half inch drive ratchet to turn the nut counterclockwise in order to remove it.  A traditional 3/8-inch drive socket wrench may not allow you to put enough pressure on the nut to break it loose. Set the nut aside someplace safe for use when reinstalling the drum. With the axle nut removed, the drum will no longer be held in place, but may still be stuck on due to rust or grime.  Twist the drum slightly as you remove it to break it free from any rust. The drum may be extremely difficult to remove. Rust removers like WD40 can help loosen the grip created by rust on your vehicle’s drums.  Spray it around the outside circumference of the drum where it meets the vehicle and give it a few minutes to set in.  Then attempt to remove the drum again.   You may bang on the drum with a rubber mallet to help loosen it up. Do not strike the drum with a hammer, as it may damage it. If you are replacing the drum as well, it doesn’t...

TL;DR in English: Jack the vehicle up and remove the wheel. Remove the dust cap with a screwdriver. Use a ratchet to unscrew the axle bearing nut. Twist the drum as you pull it backward to remove it. Spray the drum with rust remover if it’s stuck.

You can use a basin, sink, or bathtub. The water should be a little warmer than room temperature. You’ll need at least 1 quart (0.95 L) of water. or mild conditioner to the water. You’ll need to add roughly 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of baby shampoo for every 1 quart (0.95 L) of water.  The water should take on a slick, soapy consistency once the shampoo is stirred into the water. Baby shampoo helps relax the fibers in your material, making them easier to stretch. Make sure the material is fully immersed in the water and give it at least half an hour to ensure the soap has time to penetrate the spandex material. Use a twisting and squeezing motion until the fabric stops dripping. Don’t rinse the garment, because the soap will keep relaxing the elastic fibers as you stretch the fabric. If you still need to remove more moisture, roll the material between 2 towels and leave it for about 10 minutes. The baby shampoo should allow you to easily stretch the spandex past its normal limits. Once you have it stretched as much as you can, place heavy objects like books, paperweights, or free weights on the edges of the fabric to hold it in place. Make sure your heavy objects won’t be damaged by the moisture from the fabric. You should also avoid using anything painted or varnished, like wood, since this can transfer stains onto your material. If you take off the weights before the spandex material has dried, the fibers will begin to shorten and the fabric will return to its original shape. It will probably take about an hour for the fabric to dry completely.

TL;DR in English: Fill a basin with water of about 85–90 °F (29–32 °C). Add baby shampoo Soak the fabric in the soapy water for about 30 minutes. Squeeze the fabric tightly to wring out excess moisture. Stretch out the fabric and hold it in place with 3–5 lb (1.4–2.3 kg) weights. Allow the fabric to sit for an hour or until it is completely dry.

Whether you are a boss supervising a team or if you are a supervisor that is a part of a team, people can sense genuineness.  It is rare that a person will listen to someone who is fake, but people are much more likely to respond positively to authenticity.  Be very honest and genuine with your employees and coworkers, but also with yourself.  Share information about yourself to your staff that you think is appropriate so they know you on a slightly more personal level. Don’t pretend to be something you’re not.  Even if you are the boss, you are not perfect. Remember that people support what they help create.  Get others on your team involved in working on developing a plan for creating a more optimal environment to work in.  You could start by appointing different people to different tasks or you could lead a group discussion.  Ask your staff for input on the process from the beginning.  You don’t want to make decisions before understanding everyone’s concerns. Find out also what people are currently happy or content with in the office.  You might ask them verbally or have them complete an anonymous survey. Avoid using negative and insulting language around people; remember that you’re conversing with your team, not talking at them. Even when you’re disciplining individuals, learn to use constructive criticism instead of putting people down. Listen to what people have to say and compliment them when good work is done. It’s easy to criticize negative actions but things go right every day and shouldn’t be overlooked. Be sure to appreciate people for their good work daily and encourage other supervisors to do the same.   If you are part of the leadership team and you have to discipline someone, make sure to talk to the person one-on-one. Do not do this in front of other people. If you need to address a group of people about a problem, then arrange a group discussion and do not target any particular person during the conversation. If you have coworkers who don’t get along, set up meetings with them to work...

TL;DR in English: Be genuine and authentic. Involve others in the process. Communicate positively. Work to address any negative group dynamics. Clarify your vision in detail. Answer questions. Experiment with different options.

The more people you come into contact with, the higher possibility to engage in intelligent and informative conversations where you can gain additional knowledge. Since people enjoy informative yet casual conversations on interesting topics, we tend to retain this knowledge better.   Cultivate friendships with intelligent, educated, and experienced people. These friendships will produce stimulating conversations on a variety of topics exposing you to new ideas, perspectives, and understandings. Try to meet up for coffee or tea once a week and discuss anything new you learned or talk about current affairs. Although audiobooks are no substitution for reading, they do permit the listener to gain access to a wealth of general knowledge while performing other tasks like commuting to work or exercising. Audiobooks will also help to increase your vocabulary, a different way to process information, and the ability to achieve a higher level of understanding.   Audiobooks often include commentary by the author, providing you with additional insight to how ideas formed for the book or reasoning behind certain scenes. This information will not only expand your general knowledge on the content of the book but also the writing process and author’s thoughts. You can buy, rent, or borrow audiobooks from a host of places. Instead of listening to music everywhere you go, try to substitute a good audiobook from time to time in your daily commute or exercise time. Listening to professionals conducting the seminar or conference will provide you the general knowledge presented a topic. This is important because the presenter is speaking professionally about the methods, approaches, and experiences they encountered while formulating an analysis that took several years to conduct and yield results.

Know that people with martyr syndrome suffer mostly by choice. Recognize martyr syndrome in someone who you suspect is dealing with an abusive relationship. Note any role model that the person has. Take note if the person often complains that their selflessness goes unacknowledged. Understand that people the person will have a hard time letting the person they ‘sacrificed for’ live their own lives. Note that the person will always talk highly of themselves. Notice if the person expects everyone to shower them with sympathy. Be aware that the person will refuse assistance. Know that the person will demand displays of love and respect.

Let the cakes cool off on a wire rack for 10 minutes first. Run a knife around the inside edges of the pans, then invert the cakes onto a flat surface. Let them cool off completely. If you glazed the cakes, you do not need to chill them further; the initial 1 hour or so of chilling is plenty. Simply take them out of the fridge and remove them from their pans. Place the butter into a large mixing bowl. Add the grated lemon rind, thawed lemonade concentrate, vanilla extract, and cream cheese. Beat everything together on high speed until the frosting turns light and fluffy. Beat the frosting on low speed until everything is just blended. Do not over-mix the frosting. This will allow the frosting to firm up and make it easier tp spread. Place one of the cakes, glazed-side-up on a serving place. Spread about ½ cup (115 grams) of frosting on top of the cake with a butter knife or an angled cake decorating spatula. Spread some frosting over the top of the cake, then more frosting down the sides. If you have any frosting left over, you can put it into a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped tip, and pipe little stars around the edge of the cake. The second layer should also be placed glazed-side-up on top of the first layer.

TL;DR in English: Let the cakes cool off before removing them from the pans. Beat the first five frosting ingredients. Add in the powdered sugar. Chill the frosting for 1 hour. Spread some frosting on top of the first cake. Place the second layer on top and finish frosting the cake. Finished.

Taking a supplement packed with essential vitamins and nutrients is an easy way to boost your immune system. You can take individual supplements such as a vitamin C or zinc tablets, or you can find a multivitamin which has everything in one. If you're not a fan of fish, you can still get the benefits of all the essential fatty acids fish contains by taking an Omega-3 supplement, which has been proven effective in fortifying the immune system.  A large array of supplements can be found at drug stores, supermarkets, and health food stores. Taking an immune-boosting supplement probably won't get rid of your cold any faster, but it will help you to avoid getting sick again. Garlic promotes the well-being of the heart and immune systems with antioxidant properties and helps maintain healthy blood circulation. One of garlic’s most potent health benefits includes the ability to enhance the body’s immune cell activity. Try crushing fresh garlic clove with a teaspoon of honey and quickly chew and swallow it. New research suggests that if you start taking zinc within one day of getting symptoms, you will probably recover one day sooner than expected and experience less severe symptoms. Honey is a natural immune booster, which also contains anti-viral properties. It has the added bonus of being very soothing on a sore throat, which is great news for cold sufferers. You can eat a spoon of honey on its own, or stir it into hot water or tea to make a soothing drink. Consider taking a vitamin C supplement, drinking orange juice and eating fruits with a high vitamin C content, such as oranges, kiwis, and strawberries. Although the effectiveness of vitamin C in stopping colds is widely disputed, many vitamin C proponents advise the use of vitamin C daily to reduce the duration of a cold. Echinacea is an herbal supplement which many claim as an effective immune booster and anti-viral. Although its cold-busting properties are disputed by experts, some studies claim that echinacea can both decrease the likelihood of developing a...

Shift the rear derailleur into the largest cog in the back and front derailleur into the smallest cog. Using a screwdriver, twist the inner limit screw until the inner part of the cage is as close to the chain as possible without touching it.  You can try spinning the crank to make sure the chain is not catching.  The inner screw of the derailleur is usually the one closer to the frame that controls the lower limit. This screw is sometimes marked as "L." Loosen the cable that is attached to the derailleur at the anchor bolt. Tighten this cable as much as possible and then make the anchor bolt tight again. It can be helpful to use needle nose pliers while doing this, but you don't have to. Shift the front derailleur up into the largest chainring and the rear derailleur into the smallest cog. Turn the outer limit screw with a screwdriver until the outer derailleur cage is as close to the chain as possible without touching it.  Setting this limit will make sure that the chain does not over-shift and fall out again.  The outer or second screw is the one that controls how far the derailleur shifts outwardly. This screw is sometimes marked as "H."

TL;DR in English: Set the inner limit screw to prevent the derailleur cage from moving past the inner chainring. Adjust cable tension. Set the outer limit screw to stop the derailleur cage from moving past the outer chainring.

You want to be sure there are no pedestrians walking past and that no other vehicles are in the way.  If you folded your side mirrors in when parking, open them before reversing if you have enough room to do so. If you were able to open the side mirrors or if they were already open, check both to be sure the coast is clear before reversing. You will still need to continuously watch for pedestrians and other vehicles the entire time you are reversing out of the parking space. Remember to continue watching out for people and other vehicles as you back up. Do not release the brakes until the next step. You do not want your vehicle to accidentally roll further backward once you are completely clear of the parking space. If you were side mirrors were folded and you were not able to open them prior to backing out, go ahead and open them now before continuing. You have now successfully pulled into and backed out of a small parking space.

TL;DR in English: Check your rearview mirror and look behind your vehicle before backing out of the parking space. Put your vehicle in reverse and slowly begin backing up when it is safe. Turn the steering wheel in the direction you want the rear of your vehicle to go as you reverse. Apply the brakes and straighten up the steering wheel once your vehicle is all the way out of the parking spot. Put your vehicle in drive, release the brake, and slowly drive forward.

To wean the baby gradually choose a feeding that happens during a busy time of the day and replace it with your chosen substitute. Place either pumped breast milk or formula in a bottle or cup to feed the baby.  Do the feeding in a new room in the house. Weaning a baby is both a physical and psychological transition. Doing it in a new room can help the baby ease away from associating a particular atmosphere with food.     Give the baby extra comfort and hugs during the feeding to help the transition go more smoothly. As the baby grows used to the new style of eating, keep replacing another feeding every two or three days. Don't rush the process too much, or the baby may grow confused and the weaning plan could backfire.  Offer the baby milk or formula in a cup or bottle before every feeding, even those you don't plan to fully replace. Getting the baby used to these alternative feeding instruments is an essential transition step.     Shorten the breastfeeding sessions you still have. Continue replacing and shortening feedings over the course of a few weeks until the baby has switched almost entirely to drinking from a bottle or cup, depending on which one you have chosen to provide. For example, many babies breastfeed right before they go to sleep. Start putting the baby to bed without first breastfeeding so that he or she will be able to sleep without this activity.  Replacing breastfeeding with another ritual can help. For example, consider reading a story, playing a game or rocking in the rocking chair before the baby goes to sleep. Don't replace breastfeeding with an object, like a stuffed animal or pacifier. These items will make the weaning process more difficult for the baby.

TL;DR in English: Replace a daytime feeding. Replace another feeding every few days. Help the baby get used to doing activities without breastfeeding.

When someone has martyr syndrome, they often choose to continue suffering, rather than fixing the problem, because they think that their suffering provides them with the completeness and fulfillment required to lead a meaningful and whole life. More than anything, a person with martyr syndrome longs for recognition and approval from those around them. Continuing to suffer, rather than fixing the problem, is a common symptom of those who are in an abusive or harassing relationship. They stay with the person causing them pain because they think that they can change the person’s ways with their unselfish behavior. Even if they have the choice of getting out of their bad situation, they choose to stay in it because they think it is more noble to suffer and if they leave the situation, they may be viewed as selfish. For example, someone may stay with an abusive spouse for two reasons.  One would be that they think it is their duty to fix the partner and their relationship, so they suffer in order to be unselfish and mend the partner's ways. The second reason may be that they choose to stay because they does not want their children to live in a disturbed home. Because of this, they choose to suffer rather than letting their children suffer, as they think would happen if they were to leave their spouse. People with martyr syndrome often select someone to be their role model. This role model is generally someone who chose to suffer rather than confront a situation in order to achieve a goal of some kind. Because of this role model, the person is ruled by thoughts of others and puts themselves on a pedestal of  for having taken up the task of rendering selfless services for the sake of others. People with martyr syndrome often look and act unhappy because they feel that their sacrifices are underappreciated. A person with martyr syndrome will often feel like the person they have sacrificed for does not really how instrumental they have been in the person’s success. The person will mostly talk about how difficult life...

Grow small plants in the coffee mugs. Make a candle inside of the mug. Crush the mugs and use them as drainage rock. Give the mugs to your kids for crafting projects.

You want your army to constantly be reinforced, so that there is as little downtime as possible between attacks. With four barracks, you can have a large portion of your army restored by the time your first attack finishes. Opinions vary wildly about the best setup for your farming army, but generally, you're going to want some combination of Goblins, Archers, Barbarians, Giants, and Wall Breakers. The most common configuration is Barbarians and Archers (widely called "Barch") but you can sprinkle in wall breakers and giants if needed.  Giants are expensive, so only worry about adding a few. Early levels should focus on Barbarian-heavy armies. Later levels generally call for more Goblins than anything else, though some strategies call for more Archers. As you increase your Town Hall Level, your maximum army size will increase, allowing for a greater unit variety, as well as a greater spell variety. Minions train very fast and don't cost very much, so they are great for quickly bolstering your forces. They can be very useful if you are trying to farm as quickly as possible, as you can quickly replenish your troops between battles. It becomes easier to use Minions more frequently at Town Hall 8 because you will have two Dark Elixir drills and be able to produce more Dark Elixir on a daily basis. When determining whether or not to attack a town, it will be helpful to know how much your army costs. Calculate the total costs of your attacking army, and then find 1/3 of that value (this will help you determine when it's time to retreat). You don't want your loot to be worth less than the troops you are losing.

TL;DR in English: Build all the barracks you can. Build a good mix of units. Consider using Minions as well. Know your army cost.

Put your phone in a drawer or keep it in your bag so you won't be tempted to use it. Additionally, stay off any other distracting electronic devices unless you need them to study. A grumbling stomach is distracting, so have yogurt, oatmeal, or fruit before you get to work. It's also a good idea to keep a granola bar, nuts, or trail mix handy in case you get hungry. Healthy snacks that are packed with protein and complex carbs give you the fuel you need to stay focused. Fruit, nuts, and whole grains are good choices. Avoid sweets and junk food, which will cause your blood sugar to spike and dip. Find a distraction-free spot, like a low-traffic part of your home or the library. Try to use that location (or a few regular locations) whenever you study. If you study in the same place over and over again, you'll unconsciously sense it's time to get to work when you arrive at that location.  Additionally, study at a desk or table with enough room to spread out your study materials. Avoid studying in bed, since getting too comfortable can distract you from your studies. Keep your area neat, clean and organized, which can help you keep a clear mind. A messy space will make your mind feel cluttered, as well. Try to study in an area that has natural light, which can help energize your mind. If you have multiple assignments or subjects to study, work on 1 for an hour, then switch gears. Even if you're studying for a test and can't switch subjects, try to focus on 1 unit or topic for about an hour at a time.  For example, if you're studying for a history test on World War II, review your notes on the events leading up to the war. Take a break to have a snack or stretch, then work on the European front. You could also review textbook chapter outlines for an hour, then switch to studying flashcards. Rather than try to force yourself to concentrate on 1 thing, you'll boost your efficiency and remember more if you mix up your tasks. If you get your toughest or most boring work out of the way, it'll be easier to study for a...

TL;DR in English: Keep your phone out of sight and out of mind. Eat a healthy snack before you study. Choose a designated spot for studying. Mix up tasks and topics to prevent boredom. Study difficult subjects first to get them out of the way. Play music while you study if it helps you concentrate.

Your budget might be high, but chances are, your imagination and your talent are not. When brainstorming a new idea for a cartoon, keep in mind how much you can afford to invest in the process and what your artistic skill is capable of producing.  If you are a beginner, you might want to stay away from stories and themes that require animating complex scenes, like huge battles or intricate machinery. Your animating skills may need to be refined and practiced more before you are ready to tackle a project of that size. Also keep in mind that you will need more equipment depending on how complex you want your cartoon to be. A claymation cartoon with two dozen characters and four sets will require more supplies than a cel animation with only one scene. If budget is an issue, keep it short and simple. The right length for your cartoon will vary based on the market you are trying to distribute it in. Knowing the length from the start will help you brainstorm a story that can fit within that time frame.  If you want to create a cartoon that could develop into a long-term show, your cartoon will need to be either 11 minutes or 20 to 25 minutes. Cartoon movies can go anywhere from 60 minutes to 120 minutes. If a one-time cartoon made for the Internet is all you want to create, you can create a short running from 1 to 5 minutes. Creating anything longer may turn people away from viewing it. Even though cartoons are traditionally aimed at kids, there are many cartoons made for older adolescents and adults. The age group and other audience demographics should shape the ideas you come up with. For example, a cartoon about something tragic, like the death of a loved one, would be better reserved for a slightly older audience. If a young audience is your target, you would be better off choosing a topic that is a little simpler to understand and more concrete. Another way to put this would be, “write what you know.” Many storytellers write stories based on events, feelings, or relationships they experienced in their own...

TL;DR in English: Consider your resources. Think about length. Know your intended audience. Work from your experiences. Use your imagination. Design an appealing protagonist.

Understanding where your dislike of the person comes from can help you avoid specific situations that may exacerbate your feelings. Ask yourself both, “What do I dislike about this person?” and “Why do those traits or behaviors bother me?”  Consider whether those traits truly impact you. For example, if you find a coworker or peer to be arrogant, think about whether their attitude truly has a negative impact on you. Do they take credit for your work, for example? Or do they simply have trait you do not like? Make a concerted effort to not focus on traits that do not have a direct impact on you. Remind yourself, “This person’s actions do not have any impact on me and it is not worth my time to negatively focus on them.” Calm yourself by taking a deep breath and refocusing your attention away from that individual. Breathe in slowly for a count of three, hold your breath for two seconds, and breathe out for another three count.  As you breathe, focus your attention back on your own goals and challenges for the day, and let that other person slip from your thoughts. Repeat the cycle as necessary throughout the day to help you keep calm. Do not sacrifice professional or academic priorities to avoid this person. However when the situation doesn’t necessitate interaction, keep calm by simply disconnecting from the conversation. You may opt to not pick up the phone or respond to that person’s email or text message at that time.  Do make an effort to respond eventually when you have a clear head. If you must interact with this person on occasion, it is best to be polite. Do not lie or make excuses about why you waited to respond. Simply say, “I apologize that it took me so long to respond,” and continue with your message. When you dislike someone, it can be easy to further upset yourself by trying to find things to dislike about the person. Remind yourself that you have the option to stay neutral regarding that person’s actions or decisions. Do not let your dislike turn into a grudge. When you find yourself looking...

TL;DR in English: Evaluate your dislike. Take a breath. Disconnect yourself. Stay neutral. Resolve your dislike.

They are for good growing small houseplants like herbs, cacti, and succulents. All you need to do is add a little soil and add the plant or seedling. Put the mug in a place where it will get a lot of sunlight, like your windowsill. Try to avoid watering it too much because the mug doesn’t have a drainage hole. Candles also seem to accumulate all over the household through the years. Get rid of some of those candle holders and glasses while reducing the amount of mugs in your cabinet by combining the two! All you have to do is melt some wax inside of the mug, add a wick, and then you’re good to go. Light up the candle and relax. Just make sure not to grab the mug for coffee in the morning. Making candles on your own is also a great way to save money. Let out some frustration by crushing up mugs for a useful purpose. Put the mugs underneath a thick cloth and crush them using a mallet or hammer. Don’t get too crazy, but crush them enough so that you end up with small pieces. Then, use the pieces as drainage stone at the bottom of flower and houseplant pots. The small bits of ceramic work as well as gravel for encouraging soil drainage. Let your kids release some creative energy by giving them coffee mugs to craft with. This is a cheap and easy way to let your kids develop the artistic talent you know they have. Allow your children to decorate the unwanted mugs with acrylic paint, construction paper, or other decorative materials. When finished, the mug can be used as storage for colored pencils or other small objects.

If you want to get rid of plaque and prevent tartar, you need to use an effective toothbrush. Use a soft-bristled brush so that the plaque is removed but the gums and enamel of the teeth are not damaged. The bristles of the toothbrush should be rounded. This also protects your enamel and gums from damage. There are many toothpastes to choose from but you should make sure to get one labeled for tartar control. These toothpastes have a built-in mild abrasive that can remove plaque from the surface of your teeth. If you have sensitive teeth, make sure to get a toothpaste that is labeled for tarter control and sensitive teeth. In order to remove plaque from below the gum line, angle your tooth brush correctly. By holding your brush at a 45° angle, you will get some of the bristles down below the top of the gums. Use short, gentle, and circular movements when brushing. This will be most effective for removing plaque and food debris. Spend time cleaning every tooth. If you are taking the time to clean them all, your total brushing time should be about 2 minutes. It is important to clean all sides of your teeth. Take time to clean the inside, outside and top surfaces of your teeth.

TL;DR in English: Use the right toothbrush. Use a tartar control toothpaste. Brush at a 45° angle with short strokes. Brush all of your teeth thoroughly.

You will need four large posts for the corners. These can be whatever height or distance between that you like, but we recommend 12' long 4x4 beams.  Mark out an even 8’x8’ square where you want the gazebo to go and then dig holes for the posts using a post hole digger. Level the posts in the holes such that 8’ is above ground and the inside corners are 8’ apart. Then, use quick cement to anchor them, making sure that they remain straight and of equal height.  The quick cement should fill ⅔ of the hole around the post and the remainder can be covered with dirt after it sets. Use 6 more 4x4 beams to brace the 3 "closed" sides of the gazebo. The beams will need to be placed perpendicular to the posts, 2 to each side, 2" from the top and bottom respectively (although the distance may need to be adjusted, read full instructions). Secure the beams with two large bolts, placed through the post and into the center of each beam.  This is definitely a two or three person job. At least one person will need to hold the beam while the other attaches the bolts. You may have to pre-drill the bolt holes.  The distance between the two beams will be dependent on whether or not you add windows, and what the dimensions of those windows are if you choose to add them. If adding windows, measure their height, add 1.5”, and make this the distance between the bracing beams. Salvage some old wood and glass windows (six pane or similar). Fit them at the center of each of the three walls and mark their width. Then, create a frame for the window using 1x4s. The height should be the same as the window and distance between the bracing beams (accounting for the width of the frame itself). Nail the frame into position, fit the window in, and set it in place by placing nails on either side.  The nails should stick up by a quarter of an inch. Fit them as close as possible to the window itself so that the window won’t move. Three or four for each side of the window is probably a good enough number. You can seal it with wood glue or caulk if...

Many specialize in disorders such as Parkinson’s. A movement specialist can make recommendations and assess how your care is progressing. If there is no movement specialist who has experience with Parkinson's near you, you might ask your neurologist for a recommendation. If necessary, you might want to consider traveling occasionally to visit a good movement specialist, even if they are not nearby. This will enable them to notice changes as the disease progresses. If you find that others are often having difficulty understanding you, a speech and language specialist may help you to improve your voice.  As about the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT LOUD). It has been clinically demonstrated to help with Parkinson’s-related speech difficulties. If you have trouble swallowing, the speech and language specialist can help you with this as well. A physical therapist will help you improve your balance, regain your range of motion, improve your flexibility, and keep your strength. The therapist can help devise exercises that are tailored to your needs. This can be particularly helpful for people who are vulnerable to falling or who freeze and have difficulty moving. Occupational therapists specialize in helping people devise solutions to the problems that occur at home or at work. They can also recommend specialized devices that may make certain tasks easier and safer. This can help you retain your freedom and independence. Occupational therapist may be able to help with things like putting hand rails in the shower stall to make showering safer, getting you a special straw to make it easier to swallow liquids, installing a special swivel seat in your car if you have trouble getting in and out, or installing ramps in your house. This may be particularly helpful if you have difficulty getting enough nutrition or problems swallowing. Sometimes people with Parkinson's may not eat enough because they are worried about choking. A nutritionist can help you devise a meal plan that will be easier for you to eat, still be...

If you want to cook several ribeye steaks, then it’s most cost effective to buy the entire ribeye, which is typically about 12-18 pounds (5.4-8.2 kg) of meat. You can purchase a whole ribeye at a butcher’s shop or a grocery store for as low as $5 per pound, while pre-cut slices can sometimes be as expensive as $11 per pound. One major area where you’ll want to remove fat is on the back surface of the ribeye. With the back facing up, move a boning knife horizontally across the surface to cut off the fat. The other major area that typically contains a lot of fat is the tail, which is located along the more narrow side of ribeye. Position the boning knife about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in from the narrower side of the ribeye and to slice off the tail. You can cut the ribeye steaks as thin or as thick as you want, but 1 inch (2.5 cm) is a common width. Simply measure 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the end of the ribeye and saw all the way through it in a straight line with your knife. You can also determine thickness by the number of people you’re hoping to feed with the ribeye. For example, slicing your ribeye into 1 inch (2.5 cm) steaks may get you 12-16 individual steaks. If you’re only feeding 10 people, then you might consider making the steaks a little thicker, perhaps 1.5 inches (3.8 cm). Once you’ve gotten your ribeye cut into single steaks, go back and slice off any big chunks of fat that you notice on the narrow end of each one. Even if you cut off the tail before you sliced the steaks, excess fat may remain on this part of your steaks.

TL;DR in English: Buy a whole boneless ribeye. Cut off the fat on the back of the ribeye with a boning knife. Use your boning knife to cut off the tail. Cut 1 inch (2.5 cm) steaks. Trim off any remaining tail fat.

Place the Oobleck into an airtight container or a zip-seal bag. Take it out again later and have fun playing with it. If you're done with the Oobleck for good, DO NOT throw it down the sink, or it may clog your drain. Throw it in the trash instead. You'll likely need to re-add water to your oobleck to play with it a second time.

TL;DR in English: Store the Oobleck.

Pour the sake you want to serve into a bottle with a narrow, tall neck and open mouth. You should not fill the container to the brim. Sake expands as it heats, and if you fill the container too high, it could burst out of the top. Fill a small saucepan with enough water to cover roughly three-quarters of the height of the decanter you are using for the sake. Place the saucepan on the stove and heat it over medium-high until the water begins to boil. If you want to be more traditional, there is a special utensil known as a "kan-tokkuri" you should use. If you decide to use it, heat the water in the stove with a saucepan or kettle and pour the water into the kan-tokkuri after it starts to boil. Turn off the heat and slowly submerge the sake in the hot water. Lower it carefully to prevent any water from getting inside the container. Let it sit, uncovered, for one to three minutes.  Place the sake as close to the center of the saucepan as possible. Do not allow it to tip or tilt as it sits in the water. For a more precise way of heating sake, you can measure the temperature of the drink using a thermometer to determine if it has reached your desired temperature. If you want to check the temperature of sake without the use of a thermometer, you can gauge it by looking. If small bubbles begin to rise, the sake is considered to be warm. If bubbles quickly and immediately rise to the surface, then the sake is hot. Carefully lift the decanter of sake out of the water and serve the hot drink immediately. If the container feels too hot to touch with your bare hands, wear oven mitts as you remove it from the hot water. You might also want to consider wiping the bottom dry with a towel before serving sake from the container.

TL;DR in English: Pour the sake into a tokkuri or decanter. Boil water in a saucepan. Gently lower the container of sake into the water. Remove the sake from the water.

The best way to prevent measles is to get vaccinated against the virus. The measles vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles and works right away. It is considered very safe for use on children, teenagers, and adults. Speak to your doctor about getting the vaccine if you do not have it already.  The vaccine will protect you from contracting measles, even if you are around others who have measles. Your doctor may recommend the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) combination vaccine to reduce the number of shots you need to get during the appointment. In some cases, the MMR vaccine is given in conjunction with the chickenpox virus, known as the MMR-V vaccine. Most people who get the vaccine do not experience any side effects. If you do experience side effects, they will be mild, usually consisting of a fever or a rash. Serious side effects are rare, but can include a high fever and temporary stiffness and pain in your joints. Your doctor should outline any possible side effects before giving you the vaccine.  Infants older than six months can get the measles vaccination safely. Keep in mind there is no credible proof that there is a link between autism and the measles vaccine. The vaccine is considered very safe and effective. It is not linked to any serious health issues. If the child has been exposed to someone with measles, they can get the vaccination as early as six months of age. Otherwise, they should get their first MMR vaccination between 12 and 15 months of age and a second booster at 4 to 6 years of age. If you are an adult, you can get a dose of the vaccine at any age. Your doctor can administer the vaccine in their office. You will feel a slight prick on your arm when you get it but no serious pain. Make sure you get the proper dosage of the vaccine based on your age and whether you have received one dose of the vaccine already. Your doctor should be able to look at your medical records and determine how many doses you need. Once you receive the measles vaccine, get a proof of immunity document...

TL;DR in English:


The "grain" of a cut of beef refers to the direction of major muscle fibers. You can usually see the direction visibly on beef, although less gamey cuts (like filet mignon) make be less clear. It's important to know where the grain is before cutting as you'll want to cut across the muscle. You'll increase the tenderness of your cut by severing the fibers.  Certain recipes might actually welcome some roughness in the meat, so long as the meat cuts are bite-sized. If this is the case, feel free to cut with the grain. Don't confuse grill marks with the grain. Grill marks are the cooking lines that show where the steak was placed on the grill. Backyard cooks can sometimes confuse the grill marks as grain lines. For the sake of traction, safety, and protecting your countertop, it's recommended you put your meat on a cutting board before you do anything to it. This will minimize the risk of anything going astray while you're working on it. Muscle in a piece of beef will increase its chewiness. This includes connective tissue, which is often seen on the exterior of a cut of meat. Muscle (and fat) are both usually visibly distinct from the rest of the cut. Hold the beef with one hand, and cut the muscle by sawing it back at forth with a knife. When it's cut off, discard it away from the meat you're preparing.  Don't hack away at the muscle if you're losing too much beef. If your beef has a lot of muscle on the outside, it's a good idea to cut it off before you cook. Different cuts carry different degrees of fat, and some recipes actually favour a bit of beef fat along with the steak. However, for certain dishes (like stir fry), the fat should be removed. It's ultimately up to you whether you'd prefer a lean or marbled cut. Too much fat can pose a health issue, but it does capture a lot of flavour. This can be done prior to cooking the meat. If you do so before cooking, you're likely to get the cleanest possible cut. If you're cutting down a bigger piece of meat and want relatively equal-sized chunks, it's a good idea...

TL;DR in English: Identify the grain. Place the meat on a cutting board. Cut away surface muscle. Trim off the fat. Mark your cuts. Hold your cut in place with a meat fork. Position a butcher's knife at an angle near the steak's endmost point. Cut the beef using a smooth, downward motion. Present the beef with your meal.

Put 8 skinless chicken drumsticks into a prep bowl and sprinkle the seasonings over them. Toss the drumsticks, so they're all coated with the seasonings. You'll need:  1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Measure out 1 cup (240 ml) of buttermilk and pour it over the drumsticks. Squeeze half of a lemon and strain it into the bowl with the chicken. Put the bowl in the refrigerator and chill the chicken for 6 to 8 hours. You can refrigerate the chicken overnight, if you'd like to prepare it the night before you want to serve it. When you're ready to oven fry your chicken, turn the oven on to 400 degrees F (200 C). Get out a baking sheet and set a wire rack on it. Spray the rack and baking sheet with cooking spray. Get out a shallow prep bowl and measure 2/3 cup (60 g) of panko bread crumbs and 1/2 cup (15 g) of crushed cornflakes into it. Stir in the remaining coating ingredients until they're combined. You'll need to add:  2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes 1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon chili powder Lift the drumsticks out of the buttermilk and lay each piece in the dry coating. Roll the drumsticks, so they're completely coated in the mixture. You may need to coat them in batches, if they don't all fit in the mixture at once. Set the coated drumsticks on the wire rack that's on the baking sheet. Take your cooking spray and spray each of the drumsticks with more cooking spray. This will make the drumsticks even crispier. Put the baking sheet in the oven and cook the drumsticks for 40 to 45 minutes. They should become crispy and turn golden brown. Remove the drumsticks from the oven and serve them immediately. You don't need to turn the drumsticks, since they're on the wire rack.

TL;DR in English: Combine the chicken with the seasonings. Pour the liquids over the chicken and chill it. Preheat the oven and prepare a baking sheet. Combine the dry coating. Cover the chicken in the dry coating. Arrange and spray the chicken. Bake the oven-fried chicken. Finished.

When building your Boho Chic wardrobe, choose items made from natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, velvet, chiffon, silk, leather, suede, and fur.  You'll also want to choose items in natural tones and colors — for example, white, beige, brown, earthy reds and oranges, and dark greens. Note that wearing fur is considered by many to be cruel and unethical. If you like the look but don't want to wear real fur, there are many good faux fur clothing items available. Crocheted and lace dresses, tops, hats, and bags are staples of Boho Chic. Beads, fringe, and embroidery are also hugely popular, and can appear in your clothing and your accessories. Boho Chic clothing comes in many patterns: floral and avant-garde-style accents are popular, as are checks and ethnic-inspired prints. If you do experiment with fun patterns, be sure to pair them with relatively neutral items for a balanced outfit. A key ingredient in Boho Chic style is comfort — you'll see a lot of soft, loose-fitting, flowy clothes, often worn in layers.  Maxi dresses (full-length, usually loose-fitting dresses) are a great example of the flowy comfort common to Boho Chic. Cut-offs and a flowy white lace top paired with a long, beige knitted sweater is another example of a comfortable Boho Chic outfit. Not everything you wear has to be flowy — you can combine flowy shirts with fitted pants or skirts, or vice versa. Here's an example of an outfit you could wear in colder months, when the rain and snow make flowy dresses and skirts impractical:  Pair some faded, fitted light-blue jeans with a white chambray top and a big, knitted, neutral-toned sweater. Add interest to the outfit with a long silver-chain necklace punctuated by a pretty stone pendant — turquoise would work well. You could also combine this outfit with a colorful, jewel-toned scarf. For shoes, go with brown, tan, or beige ankle boots with a relatively low, chunky heel. (Think cowboy boot heels.) Ballet flats and ethnic-inspired sandals (i.e. Greek, Roman, or African) are the generally...

Your baby will generally let you know when they’re hungry by smacking their lips, making sucking sounds, or getting fussy. Try feeding them half the amount of formula or breastmilk you normally would, waiting 15 minutes, and then giving them the other half. This could help their digestion hurt less. After feedings, prop your baby upright on your shoulder for about half an hour to help their stomach digest the formula or milk. Wait at least half an hour after they eat to lay them down on their back. This should prevent your baby from spitting up the milk they’ve just eaten. Try burping every 2-3 oz (59.14-88.72 mL) if you’re using formula, or each time you switch breasts if you’re nursing. Hold your baby upright on your shoulder and pat them gently on the back until you hear them burp. Your baby may spit up when you burp them. Keep a rag nearby in case that happens. Chocolate, coffee, and caffeinated tea all act as stimulants and can be passed on to your baby through breastmilk. Try not to eat these foods if you are still breastfeeding so your baby’s sleep cycle doesn’t get disrupted. Herbal teas are almost all caffeine-free if you need a replacement. Since your baby is so young, it’s hard to tell what they are allergic to. Dairy products and nuts are the 2 most common allergens, and your baby could be allergic to them. Try cutting these out of your diet for about 2 weeks to see if it calms you baby down. Check with your doctor before you make changes to your diet to ensure you’re still getting enough essential nutrients from what you eat. Hydrolysate formula contains already-broken-down milk proteins, which should help your baby’s digestion. If an allergy is causing your baby’s colic, you’ll notice improvement 2 days after changing formulas. Check with your doctor before you make this switch. You can also try a soy-based formula, but this may also cause allergies in your baby. Follow your doctor’s recommendations for which products you should try. If babies struggle to get milk through nipples with small...

TL;DR in English: Feed your baby smaller but more frequent meals. Keep your baby as upright as possible to help their digestion. Burp your baby frequently to allow air to escape. Eliminate caffeinated foods and drinks if you’re breastfeeding. Avoid eating dairy products and nuts if you are breastfeeding. Switch to a hydrolysate formula if your baby has milk intolerance. Use a fast-flow nipple if you’re bottle-feeding. Try simethicone drops if your baby has an upset stomach.

You can iron rayon when it is dry, but it’s easier to do it while the fabric is damp. If your garment is already damp from the wash, then you don’t have to do anything. If it is dry, spray it with a bottle filled with clean water. The rayon doesn’t have to be very wet. It should just be slightly wet to the touch. The rayon can be damaged if you iron it right side out. At the very least, the fabric will become shiny if it makes direct contact with the iron. Always turn the fabric inside out unless you have a pressing cloth between the iron and rayon. If you are starting with a dry garment, you can use a spray bottle to dampen it. If you must iron the fabric right side out, you will need to have something on top of the rayon. You can buy a pressing cloth, or simply use a piece of unbleached or white cotton muslin. Always use the pressing cloth when ironing rayon right side out.

TL;DR in English: Spray the garment with water. Turn the garment inside out. Put a press cloth between the iron and rayon if you iron it right side out.

Know the common symptoms of depression during pregnancy. Identify the risk factors. Know that you're not alone.

The staff at the liquor store or wine shop are your greatest resource when pairing wine with food. Let them know the dessert that you are planning to serve or if you plan to use the wine as dessert. Stores that specialize in wine are usually better places to get help than picking up wine at a grocery store or large retailer. The darker the color of your dessert, the darker the color of the wine should be. Desserts can be grouped into three categories: vanilla and custards, fruit and spice, and caramels and chocolates. Common parings include:  White wines (e.g. late harvest Riesling) and sparkling wines (e.g. demi-sec champagne, Asti Spumanti) pair well with custard and vanilla. For desserts that contain fruits and spices (e.g. apple pie, fruit cobblers) white wines and pink champagne are a good choice. For desserts containing chocolate and caramel, red wines (e.g. late harvest Pinot Noir, Grenache, Port (a fortified wine)), and Grappa are good pairings. As a general rule, the wine should be as sweet or sweeter than the dessert you are eating. If the dessert is sweeter than the wine, your wine will taste bitter. This requires knowledge of the sweetness of both the wine and the dessert.  Pairing with chocolate is often the most difficult because it is very sweet and tends to coat your mouth when you eat it. Ruby ports and Hungarian Tokay are usually a good pairing. Most white dessert wines will not pair well with chocolate based desserts. If you are unsure of the sweetness of the wine, simply smell it. If you smell honey, molasses, or butterscotch, you are on the right track.   If you swirl the glass of wine, sweet wines will be thicker and stick to the glass more. Although each wine varies, many white dessert wines have fruit and/or honey flavors. If your dessert is fruit, has fruity flavors, and/or honey flavors, a white wine would be best. If your dessert has buttery and caramel flavors, an amber colored sweet wine is a good choice..  If you do not know which wine to choose, a Port or a champagne are very...

TL;DR in English: Ask for help. Match the color. Choose a dessert wine that is sweeter than the dessert. Look for complementary flavors. Use wine as dessert.

Whether you're using a tall glass or a classic metal cup, popping it in the freezer for a few minutes will keep your milkshake frosty as you sip it. There's no need to stand around – get started on the milkshake while you wait. Using ice cream straight from the freezer can make your milkshake taste dilute, thin, or icy. You'll have much better results if you leave the ice cream out on the counter for about ten minutes, until it's soft and just beginning to melt around the edges.  On a hot day, put the ice cream in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes instead. Heating the ice cream too fast can ruin the texture. This gentle method is best. Skip this step if using frozen yogurt. Add 2  large scoops of the softened ice cream or frozen yogurt to a blender or milkshake maker. Use a large stainless steel bowl instead if you don't have a blender. Add ¼ cup (60 mL) milk for a thick milkshake, or up to a full cup (240 mL) if you prefer a thinner drink. Add ½ cup Chocolate Nesquik powder.  Whole milk makes a richer shake, while low fat or skim milk is a healthier option. For an extremely rich milkshake, also blend in 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 mL) heavy whipping cream. Crushed ice will dilute your milkshake's flavor. Use extra milk instead to thin the shake, and pop the milkshake in the freezer for a few minutes if it's too runny. If you like a thicker shake consistency, start out with 1/4 cup of milk and add more until you are satisfied with the texture. This is easiest with a blender, milkshake maker, or stick blender, on a low setting. If you don't have one of these, burn off some calories in advance with a sturdy whisk. Semi-frozen ice cream is easiest to blend with a series of short pulses, or with a sturdy fork instead of a whisk. If it still won't blend, mash it against the sides with a rubber spatula or flat spoon and try again. Taste before you pour it into the glass, so you have the option to blend in more milk (thinner) or more ice cream (thickener). Serve with a spoon or thick straw and enjoy immediately.

TL;DR in English: Stick a tall glass in the freezer (optional). Let your ice cream soften. Combine your ingredients. Blend. Serve in a cold glass.

When you adopted or purchased your Labrador, the breeder or rescue may have given you registration papers for your Labrador. These papers should include the names of its parents and its ancestors. Registration papers are one of the best ways to verify that your dog is a purebred and makes for good breeding stock. If you don't have registration papers but believe your Labrador is a purebred, you can run a DNA test on your dog to confirm it. Dog DNA tests usually cost between $50 and $100. Ask your vet if they can recommend a company to test your dog's DNA. Labradors are usually friendly and outgoing. In addition, they're somewhat high energy. They are also easy to train. If your dog doesn't have these attributes, it is not a good candidate for breeding. Labradors should not be aggressive to either humans or other animals. Only dogs that represent the standard of the breed should reproduce. If a dog doesn't represent this standard, you shouldn't breed it.  Labradors come in black, chocolate, or yellow. They sometimes have white markings. Labradors often have mixed litters with black puppies, chocolate puppies, and yellow puppies. The coat of Labradors should be short, dense, and seem to feel hard to the touch. Female adult Labradors should be between 21.5 inches (55 cm) and 23.5 inches (60 cm) high at the withers (the area between your dog's shoulder blades). Male Labradors should be between 22.5 inches (57 cm) and 24.5 inches (62 cm) high at the withers. Labradors shouldn't appear to have short legs or have legs that appear “leggy.” Female adult Labradors should be between 55 pounds (25 kg) and 70 pounds (32 kg). Male adult Labradors should be between 65 pounds (29.5 kg) and 80 pounds (36 kg).

TL;DR in English: Obtain your dog's pedigree or kennel club papers. Pick dogs that have a temperament that represents the breed. Verify your dogs meet the physical standards of the breed.

The counterweight is what will launch the projectile from your trebuchet. Take 2-3 AA batteries or a roll of coins and wrap it in tape so there isn’t any movement when it swings.  If the parts move around while the trebuchet swings, the projectile won’t fly in a straight line. Use electrical tape or duct tape to secure the counterweight. After you wrap the counterweight with tape, place a twist tie on top of it and wrap it with more tape to secure it. Leave a small length of the twist tie exposed so you can attach it to the swinging arm. Position the twist tie on the counterweight so it’s pointing up. Loop the twist tie through the hole of the eye hook on the swinging arm. Then, twist it so it’s tight and secure on the hook.  If necessary, wrap more tape around the weight and twist tie so it won’t come undone. When you connect the counterweight, the swinging arm will be held pointing straight up.

TL;DR in English: Wrap a battery or a roll of coins in tape to form a counterweight. Tape a twist tie to the counterweight. Connect the twist tie to the eye hook on the swinging arm.

These will help you understand your own condition and what areas you might want to address in order to treat your depression. The common symptoms of depression during pregnancy include the following:  Disturbed appetite (increased or decreased) Disturbed sleep (increased or decreased) Extreme fatigue and loss of energy Crying spells Poor fetal attachment Lack of feelings of pleasure Irritability Suicidal ideation Thoughts and feelings of worthlessness There are some common factors that enhance the risk of depression and if addressed timely might alleviate prenatal depression. These factors include:  Dysfunctional thinking and coping styles with ongoing life stressors Problems with significant relationships in family Current negative/stressful life events History of physical, emotional or sexual abuse Earlier miscarriage or stillbirth Childbirth related distress Vulnerable personality type to depression and anxiety If these factors existed prior to pregnancy, know that there is a greater chance of an ongoing depression and functional coping is required to treat it. Depression during pregnancy can be a very scary and startling experience. Most mothers expect to be overwhelmed with joy all the time, though that is hardly the case. Keep in mind that this is a trying time for both your body and your psyche and the healthiest way to deal with things is to seek help and support as soon as you feel you might be depressed. Slightly over 1 in 10 women experience depression during or after pregnancy. You are hardly alone! Talk to the women in your family or your friends – odds are one of them has been there, too.

TL;DR in English:


Purchase a blank white face mask. Find some white fabric with good stretch to it. Cut the fabric slightly wider and longer than the mask. Make a back piece. Glue the back piece to the mask. Poke tiny holes into the eye area. Make the neck cover (dickey or false shirt front). Cut off one leg from a pair of white pantyhose. Put it all together. Done.

If you are using a SunPass for a single vehicle, the mini SunPass transponder will work well for your needs. If you have multiple vehicles or a vehicle with more than two axles, you will need a standard SunPass transponder. SunPasses may be shared between family members. If you have several members of the family who will regularly pass tolls, the full-size will best suit your needs. The greatest difference between the two types of SunPass is portability: the mini is a sticker affixed permanently to a single windshield, while the standard pass is able to move from vehicle to vehicle. If you need to move your SunPass, avoid the mini.  The mini is ideal for a single traveler or people who share a single vehicle. The mini is also $20 cheaper than the standard SunPass, which makes it the more economical choice. If you anticipate a lot of usage, you may qualify for special discounts. If you anticipate a lot of usage between multiple vehicles, purchasing the standard size is the best option. Some routes provide yearly passes, while others provide frequent user discounts. Check with your local routes to determine what discounts may be available. If you are just visiting Florida and want a SunPass to cut down on tolls, check with local car rental companies. Many have deals on SunPasses to draw customers in. Choosing to go this route may wind up being less expensive than driving your own vehicle. If you already have a standard SunPass, you can also use a rental car, but must record the rental car's license plate number.

TL;DR in English: Assess your vehicle and group size. Identify whether or not you need it to be portable. Evaluate your projected usage. Ask your car company.

Once you have finished the top and it is smooth with no lines or air holes, it is time to spray it with a chemical retarder. The retarder chemical will keep the top layer of concrete wet while it lets the core harden. Try to disperse it evenly amongst the surface. Making one spot wetter than another will cause that spot to give away faster and potentially cause holes in the washing away process. The surface must be covered after the retarder is sprayed in order to lock in moisture, prevent wind from drying out the top, and to keep it out of direct sunlight.  Make sure your plastic is big enough to cover the whole pad with some wiggle room so you can weigh it down along the edge. Gently lay the plastic down on the surface of the concrete so you do not create any smudges. Now you must wait for it to harden. Depending on when you poured it and how wet the concrete was at that time, you generally need to wait roughly 10-24 hours for the core to harden. Do not wait to long to check, because the retarder and plastic cover can only keep the top from hardening for so long. It is best to let it sit over night and check it in the morning unless you poured it very early, in which case you can check it later that day. Removing the plastic should be no problem. It should be safe to walk on now. Start hosing off the top evenly amongst the surface. The creamy top layer should start to wash away exposing the pea stone gravel underneath. Use a broom to help brush off the top layer if it is not washing away easily.  Be careful to not focus in one area for too long, doing so can create rivets. Pea stone should be exposed evenly throughout the surface. Removing the forms while the concrete is still wet can cause trouble so as long as it has hardened, removing them is an easy process. Just remove the stakes and take out any nails and the 2x4 boards should pop right off. Forms can be reused for future jobs. Concrete WILL crack. It is unknown when it will crack but it WILL crack. Saw cutting it essentially says to the concrete...

TL;DR in English: Spray the surface with retarder. Cover the whole surface with nylon plastic. Let it harden. Remove the plastic and hose off the top. Remove the forms. Saw cut the pad. Seal the surface.

Are you close to throwing up in the air? There are some small measures you can take that might help you feel better fast.  Put pressure on the inside of your wrist. Press down, gently but firmly, with your fingers about two fingertip widths above your hand’s bottom.  Suck on hard candy to keep your saliva going. This will help reduce the feeling of a sick stomach in many cases. Ask for lemons. They will settle an upset stomach. The flight attendants might have some on their beverage trolley. Suck on the lemon wedges. It’s easier to rush to the bathroom if you’re sitting next to the aisle. If you’re a queasy flyer, request one!  To reduce motion sickness, focus your eyes on a distant fixed point. Keep your mind occupied. Do a Crossword puzzle or play a game on your computer. Take a long, deep breath through your nose, and then slowly breathe out. Take advantage of times that the seatbelt sign goes off, and take a bathroom break. This might help relieve some of your stomach stress. Ask to sit near the plane’s wing, where it’s most stable or back by the bathroom so you're close. Be aware that the back of a plane is the bumpiest, usually. You're more likely to get sick to your stomach in the back. Don’t stay crouched in the same position. Give your body some relief by moving as much as you can!  You will want to stretch somehow, either by walking to the bathroom or while sitting in your seat. Massaging the abdomen can also lower pain from gas. Do this gently. Try to shift position in your seat every half hour if you can’t get up. You can do this by crossing your legs, leaning forward, or putting your feet on your carry-on bag. This is the small nozzle you can turn on above you to direct air towards your face.  The gush of fresher air might make you feel somewhat better. Move your seat back and recline if you are allowed to do so.

Septic tanks are only meant to handle water, human waste, and toilet paper, so other items can cause the entire system to clog. Throw away paper towels, wet wipes, food scraps, or other solid material in with the regular trash so it can’t block the pipes. Let other people in your home know what they can and cannot rinse down the drains so they don’t clog the pipes.  Avoid using rinsing any harsh chemical cleaners down your drains since they could kill the natural bacteria in your septic tank that normally breaks down solid waste. Never rinse grease down your drains since it can solidify in your pipes and form clogs that are hard to remove. Don’t run water in your home unless you have to, or else you could cause the tank to fill up too quickly. Try to limit how much water you use when you’re bathing or cleaning so you only have as much as you need. If you have any old or leaking fixtures, repair them or opt for more efficient systems, such as toilets that flush less water or faucets with aerators attached to them. Limiting your water use will also help you save money on your utility bill. Heavy weight can cause pipes leading from your septic tank to collapse or break, so try to avoid using a vehicle over the area if you can. Plant roots can also grow into the pipes or septic tank and cause them to easily clog. If you want trees or plants, keep them at least 20–30 feet (6.1–9.1 m) away from your septic system so the roots aren’t able to grow inside.  You can always cut roots out of your pipes with a mechanical auger, but they will grow back if left untreated. Root barriers from gardening stores kill roots on contact and can protect your septic system from overgrowth. Dig a trench that’s  2 feet (61 cm) deep around your septic system so it’s 3 feet (91 cm) away from any pipes. Place the root barrier vertically in the trench before filling the dirt back in. The effluent filter is a plastic cylinder in your septic tank’s outlet pipe that prevents solid waste from escaping. Open the access lid on the tank that’s...

TL;DR in English: Avoid putting anything in your drains besides water and natural waste. Use less water in your home so the septic system can drain properly. Don’t drive or plant over the area with your septic tank. Clean the effluent filter on the outlet pipe to improve drainage. Have your septic tank inspected by a professional every 3 years.

Use the kind that can be found in costume stores, dollar shops etc that cover your face but has eye holes, mouth hole and nostril holes. This mask will keep the fabric away from your face, helping you to keep breathing and seeing okay. Try the mask on for comfort. If it isn't comfortable, make any adjustments needed before gluing the fabric to it, as it's harder to do afterward. Lycra, spandex, etc. are good choices but if you're not sure, check with the fabric retailer who might be able to offer some options once they understand what you're trying to do. Attach the fabric to the mask by gluing it all the way around, overlapping the fabric edges to the back of the mask, going from the top of the mask down. A hot glue gun will make this easier but take care not to melt the plastic if it's a plastic mask.  As you glue, keep the fabric taut (stretched) so that it doesn't bunch up. Check that the fabric is smooth - wrinkles will spoil the end look. Be sure to work around the elastic part that holds the mask to your head––it needs to be able to stretch normally still. This is the piece that hides the back and sides of your head and joins to the front mask, completing the mask piece.  Place the mask down on a wider and higher piece of material. Trace a wide oval or circle around the mask, leaving at least 4 inches/10cm space between the edges of the mask and the circle or oval circumference, with slightly longer for the portion that goes down your neck (the part that tucks into the shirt). The back piece fabric needs to be large to ensure a good fit. Use your own head size to guide the final measurements. Overlap the top edge of the back piece (opposite end of the part you've designated as the neck end) to the back of the mask behind the forehead. Continue gluing down the sides of the mask to the chin. This completes the back piece; the remaining unglued length at the base will tuck into the neck cover when assembling the mask. This part isn't essential if you find that you can see through the fabric but test it to...
