Check the regulations listed by your cruise line. Make a list of things to bring. Lay everything out beforehand. Plan out your wardrobe. Bring a separate carry-on bag.

Fold boning casing tape so that the long edges of the tape meet in the center of the backside of the tape. Then, stitch the tape to the center of each corset panel to create 3/8 inch wide boning channels, or if you want less seams on the front of your corset you can stitch it along the already made seams. You can also use 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide strips of fabric if you don't want to purchase casing tape. Take the inside of the right side of your corset, draw a stitching line in chalk 5/8 inch from the edge of your corset. Then, line your eye busk (the side with the hooks) up with your sewing line, leaving 3/4 inch from the top edge of your corset, making sure you are looking at the back of the busk. Sew along the busk, attaching it to your corset. The busk is the piece with the "eyes or hooks" that the knobs or pins hook into  on the front of your corset to attach it together (and will prevent you from having to untie the lacing on the grommet area each time you want to put on your corset). You can buy busks at a sewing or craft store. Taking small metal knobs or pins that fit into your busk holes, line them up with the busk on the right. Then stick them through the left side of the fabric near the edge and connect them completely to the fabric by attaching them with a stitch on the back. This is what will close up your corset and hide any ragged edges of the fabric. To use faux leather or real leather as your binding, place clear, water-soluble dressmaking tape along the bottom outside corner of one panel of your corset. Then, press  the binding onto the tape, fold it over the edge, and tape to the inside of your corset as well. You can also use satin, cotton, or another type of pre-made bias binding. Use your sewing machine to straight-stitch the taped binding into place. For now, you should only add binding to the bottom. You need to add your boning to the corset before you can finish the top. Measure the length of the bone channels and cut spiral steel flats to the length of your corset leaving about 1/4...

TL;DR in English: Create boning channels. Sew on the right busk. Sew on the knobs. Attach the bottom binding. Stitch the binding on. Add bones. Bind the top edge.

Owls are territorial and hunt alone, meaning they avoid other regions that have been claimed. Place decoys of eagles, hawks, or owls near your chicken coop to "claim" the area and scare them  away.  Decoys can be purchased from local home improvement stores or online suppliers. Place the decoy somewhere not clearly visible to your chickens—such as on top of posts facing away from your coop or yard—as they can generate nervousness and aggression. and move it around your yard regularly. Scarecrows can be made fairly simply by creating a cross-shaped frame made from a wooden stick attached to a 1.8–2.4 metre (5.9–7.9 ft) stick, garden pole, or rake handle. Afterwards, dress it up and stuff it with hay. Set it up near your chickens and rotate it regularly, moving it between common owl locations.  Try rotating it 2 to 3 times a week to make sure that the owl doesn't discover it's not a real person.  Purchasing an electric scarecrow from your local home improvement store is another option. These devices shoot water towards any owls that they detect with their movement sensor. Just make sure that the water pressure isn't too strong; otherwise, you can kill owls (which is illegal). A rooster is a common choice for a guard animal to protect chickens. If you have 15 or more chickens, investing in 2 to 3 roosters is ideal. Guard dogs are also very effective for deterring predators both at night and during the day.  Some regions (especially urban areas) don't allow roosters. Check your local county and city codes for rooster laws. Dog scent alone can be enough to ward off predators. Since owls are nocturnal and hunt prey at nighttime, night lights are ideal for keeping them away. Place the nightlight right outside of the coop, but never leave it inside, as this can interfere with the sleep habits of your chickens. Owls are especially adverse to strobe lights, and many owl-specific night lights utilize a red strobe. Most lights can be set to send you an alarm each time that they are activated. Tie strings around the...

TL;DR in English: Purchase an owl or eagle decoy and place it near your chicken coop. Make a scarecrow Buy a guard animal to fend off owls. Set up motion-activated night lights to scare owls away. Hang old CDs from trees and posts to deter owls. Contact state and federal wildlife services for help if necessary.

Start by deciding how much of your yard you're willing to devote to a pond. Afterward, multiply the length and width of the area to get the square footage. From here, you can determine how many fish you can accommodate by estimating that every 1 inch (2.5 cm) of fish requires 1 square foot (0.093 m2).  For instance, if you plan to add 10 fish that are each 5 inches (13 cm) in length, the pond should be at least 50 square feet (4.6 m2). If you install a filtration device, you can allow 2 inches (5.1 cm) of fish per square foot. Otherwise, don't break the 1 inch (2.5 cm) rule. Contact your local building department and ask how far the pond must be from property lines. Afterward, contact the local environmental department and ask about relevant regulations. Depending on where you live and the size of your pond, you might need to obtain a permit. For example, in Idaho, you need a Private Fish Pond Permit, which is free but must be renewed every 5 years.  Ask about free meetings from a certified pond consultant. They can help you determine how to best create a pond and consider variables like available soil types and potential rainfall. Determine if you need a fence around your pond. In some areas, local codes require fencing for ponds deeper than 18 inches (46 cm). Ponds should be placed in a region that is exposed to sunlight during the morning and shade in the afternoon. This will keep the water temperature cool and prevent algae blooms.  Avoid placing your pond under trees. Although this is great for shade, it will quickly clog the pond with seeds, leaves, or needles. Always factor in young trees growing nearby and estimate where their branches will grow. Don't situate your pond in a location where water runs off or it will be at a higher risk of pollution. Make sure you have a waterproof ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet outside your home to power your pump. It should be about 10 ft (3.0 m) from the pond. Squeeze a handful of soil into a ball, throw it into the air, and catch it. If it breaks...

TL;DR in English: Provide 1 sq ft (0.093 m2) of space for each 1 in (2.5 cm) of fish. Check local, state, or federal requirements for fishing ponds. Select a pond location exposed to equal amounts of sunlight and shade. Check that the location's soil has low water retention.

An enriching environment will invite the cat to do more while you're gone. Just make sure that the cat can easily get down from any of these spaces. There are all kinds of cat trees and cat climbing spaces available out there.  If you’re worried about design, there are also design-friendly cat climbing fixtures.  You can buy a lot of different structures from your local pet store or online. You can build a cat castle by taping or stapling cardboard boxes together and cutting out holes for the cat to climb through. Cats love boxes. You can even put up cat shelves for the cats to explore. You don’t want your cat to break something trying to get to a high spot, so make it easy for them to climb to it. You also don’t want the cat to injure themselves or damage furniture in trying to make the jump or climb, so it’s best to make sure high places aren’t too far apart. Test out the distances with your cat when you’re home. If you have breakable items that you value, you may want to have a closed-in curio to display them, so that your cat won’t knock them over. Also remove dangerous houseplants, cotton balls, and anything else the cat might be interested in chewing up and swallowing. Cats like to discover their toys and it can be a great way to keep them entertained. The more toys the better. You can leave them in high places and even some hidden places (under the couch, for instance). That way the cat has "prey" all around the house. Cats like motion, so they will enjoy seeing birds and squirrels go by. It will help keep them entertained in a non-predictable way, and is very cost effective as well. You need not open all the blinds or curtains, just a few that are near the couch or the cat's favorite perch. This is a great way to keep a cat busy. Cats need to scratch, and scratching posts are essential if you don’t want your furniture and carpet completely scratched up. Scratching posts may not completely resolve that problem, but it will mostly likely help. There are all kinds of scratching posts out there in many...

TL;DR in English: Buy or build spaces for the cat to climb. Arrange the structures so that the cat can easily jump or climb from space to space. Remove any dangerous or breakable items from the area. Leave cat toys around the house. Leave the blinds open so that the cat can look outside while you're gone. Get a scratching post or three. Keep the television on. Put on some music or sounds that your cat likes. Leave out a couple of small, light boxes for your cat to jump around in.

If you take an iron supplement as directed by your doctor, you should be able to improve your iron levels over time, which may treat anemia caused by iron deficiency. There are some side effects from iron supplementation, including dark stools, stomach upset, heartburn, and constipation. If your anemia is mild, your doctor may just recommend that you eat more iron-rich foods. The following are good sources of iron:  Red meat (beef and liver) Poultry (chicken and turkey) Seafood Cereals and breads fortified with iron Legumes (peas; lentils; white, red, and baked beans; soybeans; and chickpeas) Tofu Dried fruits (prunes, raisins, and apricots) Spinach and other dark green leafy vegetables Prune juice Vitamin C helps your body absorb iron, so your doctor will likely recommend that you drink a glass of orange juice or consume foods high in vitamin C along with your iron supplement. If your anemia is caused by a vitamin deficiency, take a vitamin B12 supplement if your doctor recommends it. Most likely, your doctor will give you a vitamin B12 injection or pill once a month. This will allow your doctor to monitor your red blood levels and determine how long treatment is needed. You can also get vitamin B12 from food. Foods high in vitamin B12 include:  Eggs Milk Cheese Meat Fish Shellfish Poultry Foods fortified with vitamin B12 (like soy beverages and vegetarian burgers) Folic acid is another B vitamin that is needed for proper blood cell growth. A folate deficiency can cause anemia, so your doctor will most likely recommend a supplement dosage to treat your condition. If your symptoms are moderate to severe, you may be given folate injections or pills for at least 2 to 3 months. You can also get folate from your diet. Foods with high levels of folic acid include:  Bread, pasta, and rice fortified with folic acid Spinach and other dark green leafy vegetables Black-eyed peas and dried beans Beef liver Eggs Bananas, oranges, orange juice, and some other fruits and juices Alcohol can keep your body from producing...

TL;DR in English: Increase your iron intake. Take vitamin B12. Get more folate (folic acid). Limit your alcohol intake.

Before you even unzip your suitcase, you should be clear on what is and isn't permitted on your cruise ship. Review the website or informational packet supplied by the company you booked your trip with. Pay particular attention to sections that outline what types of items you should pack, along with what is recommended for you to enjoy your getaway. Every cruise line will be a little different, so seeing the do's and don'ts laid out in black and white can give you a leg up prior to departure. Most companies have a separate page on their websites outlining essential items you'll want to have with you on a cruise. Compile a list of everything you know you’ll need on your cruise. This will obviously include a few changes of clothes for various situations, sleepwear, and basic hygiene products, but you might also want to bring along a camera, beach supplies, alcohol or your laptop or tablet. Take care not to forget anything major.  Make sure each item has been safely put away in your bag before checking it off the list. Start making your list early to give yourself time to remember things right up to the moment you leave. Many cruise companies allow passengers to carry on a small amount of alcohol. Check out the rules and regulations of the cruise line you booked your trip with to see what types and quantities they approve. Rather than hunting down each item individually as you go over your list, get it all out and neatly arranged in one place. After that, you can focus on finding a place for everything. Only set out what corresponds directly to an entry on the list. This will make packing much faster once you determine what goes and what stays. Gathering all your belongings at once will also give you a handy visual layout, making it easier to spot anything that’s missing. Think about the length of the trip you’re taking and prepare accordingly when packing clothes. It’s worth remembering that there are different dress expectations for different areas of the ship, so don’t exclusively load up on lounge wear or...

You can make it simple by simply wadding up some paper for the cat to bat around. There are many ideas for making basic cat toys. However, you can also get some tools and build a toy that involves all the bells and whistles of a store-bought toy. Some toys allow a cat to bat around balls in tubes or on towers. There are even some toys that play the laser game with the cat. Cats love to follow movement, and these kinds of toys will help keep them from getting bored. There also toys that mimic the movements of cat's natural play that will help keep the cat entertained. You don’t want to come home to a vet emergency because your cat has swallowed something that will make it sick. Providing safe toys will help dissuade cats from going for more dangerous items, but the best bet is to secure unsafe items away from the cat’s reach. Your best bet is to check any warnings on the packaging to see if they recommend against unsupervised play. In addition to allowing for movement, this allows the cat to control the motion, unlike with a laser toy or a toy that constricts the movement to a specific space. The cat can bat toy mice or little balls across the room and then chase them. It also helps if some of the toys are ones that cat can carry. This will help the cat live out its natural prey drive, and keep it entertained when it's home alone. Some toys are designed to challenge a cat before dispensing a treat. This will give the cat something to work out while you're gone, and give it a nice treat, too. This helps the cat work its mind and body.

TL;DR in English: Make your own toy. Choose a toy that involves movement. Avoid toys that have pieces a cat could swallow while you’re gone. Find a toy that a cat can hit with their paws. Choose an interactive toy with treats.

The beans should feel firm to the touch. Their color should be even, with no brown spots or discoloration. If you care about presentation, choose beans that look straight rather than crooked. If you'll be cutting the beans into smaller pieces, however, you can pick crooked ones. Pick up a handful of beans. Make sure that all of the stems are facing in the same direction, then lightly tap them against the cutting board to even them out. Hold the bundle against the cutting board with your non-dominant hand. Hold a sharp chef's knife in your dominant hand, and use it to chop the stems off.  You can leave the tails on, or you can chop them off too. Repeat this step and the previous step until you have cut all the beans. Place the beans into a colander and rinse them with cool water. Gently shake the colander to dislodge any excess water. Most recipes will require you to leave the beans whole, but some stir fry recipes will ask you to cut them smaller. Read the recipe that you have carefully to find out what to do. If you do decide to cut the beans, make sure that you cut them all the same length, otherwise they will not cook evenly.

TL;DR in English: Choose green beans that are bright and crisp. Grab a bundle of beans and orient the stems in the same direction. Chop the stems off with a single cut. Rinse the green beans in cool water. Cut the beans if the recipe calls for it.

Include your name, address (as registered), ward and precinct if known, the address where you'd like your absentee ballot sent, and your signature. If you're voting in a primary, you'll also need to include the party for which you wish to vote.  The majority of states allow for in-person and postal voting when it comes to doing it early. Some states are only postal or in-person and some have no early voting at all. Check your state's policies to see if this is an option. It should come with instructions and various return envelopes. However, if your state allows it, you can go cast your vote in-person before the election (depending on the state, it will be somewhere between 4 and 50 days prior to election day) to avoid the lines and hassle. Then, place it in the smaller brown envelope. Read and complete all information on the front of the envelope. Sign it when you're done.  Make sure all your choices are clearly marked — don't leave any room for interpretation. Follow the instructions on the ballot carefully. Place the proper postage on it, and then mail it to your city/town hall. The address should be indicated somewhere on the form or envelope.   Alternatively, you or a family member can hand your ballot to your local election official. Once more, check with your state's policy. It must be received by the closing time on the date of the election day unless you're voting internationally. In that case, it can be received no more than 10 days after the election, so long as it is postmarked on or before election day.

TL;DR in English: Apply in writing to your city election commission. Wait for your ballot to arrive. Fill out your ballot. Place the small envelope into the bigger envelope.

Your mattress, especially if it is new, might not need you to flip it at all. In this case, clear directions on the mattress tag will state something along the lines of "Do not flip" or "No flipping required." Mattresses without this direction should be flipped and rotated for best results.  Some mattresses have a "pillow-top" on one side. Usually, these mattresses aren't intended to be flipped, but can be rotated. In some cases, the pillow-top of your mattress may not be uniform. Check the directions of pillow-top mattresses carefully; some might not require rotation. If you have torn the tag from your mattress, or if the tag was somehow pulled free from it at some point, you should look up your mattress care instructions online. Type the name, manufacturer, and size of your mattress into an online search engine to find your care instructions. Depending on the kind of mattress you have and its manufacturer, you may only need to rotate your bed twice a year. Other mattresses may require you to follow a more regular schedule, like rotating every three months. But it can be difficult to remember which way your mattress needs to be rotated/flipped. Reminders will help! Take your pen and an index card and:  Write the name of the month you plan to rotate your mattress at the top of your card. For a mattress that requires flipping and rotating, turn your card upside down so the month you wrote at the top is now at the bottom of the card. Then write the month three months after the first month you wrote. Take your second index card and write the name of the month three months after the second month you wrote along the top. For a mattress that requires flipping and rotating, turn your card upside down so the third month you wrote is now at the bottom of the card. Write the next month three months after the third month.  For example, on your first card you could have "March" at the top and "June" at the bottom and upside down. Your second card, in this case, would have "September" at the top and "December" at the...

TL;DR in English: Check your mattress instructions. Make rotation and flipping reminders, if necessary. Attach your reminders to your bed. Clear the area of breakable items. Re-position your bed, if necessary.

If you suspect that you are having menstrual pain because of secondary dysmenorrhea, then make an appointment with a gynecologist right away. Secondary dysmenorrhea can indicate that you have a serious medical problem that requires prompt treatment. Your gynecologist will take a thorough health history and ask questions about your current condition as well. It is important to provide honest answers to these questions. Some of the questions your doctor may ask might include:  When did you have your first period? When did your symptoms start? Does anything make your symptoms worse or better? How is the pain affecting your daily life? Is it interfering with your normal daily activities? After taking a thorough health history, your doctor will also need to do a physical exam. As part of this exam, your doctor will examine your vagina, vulva, and cervix to check for masses and abnormalities. Your doctor will also examine your abdomen for signs of swelling. Depending on the findings of the exam, your doctor may decide to run blood tests or imaging tests. These tests can provide your doctor with additional information to help him or her make a diagnosis. Some symptoms may indicate a serious problem and you should share these with your doctor right away. Call or visit your doctor right away if you have had:  a sudden onset of pain pain that does has not gone away a fever vaginal discharge swelling of your stomach suddenly heavy menses (this could be a sign for a thyroid disorder)

Cut 2 pieces of cotton fabric, 2 pieces of cotton batting, and 1 piece of heat-resistant fleece. Set the template aside when you're done. You can use the same color/pattern for both cotton squares, or you can use different ones. For example, 1 piece could be solid-colored while the other could be patterned. Set 1 of your cotton squares on the table, right-side-down. Place the batting on top, followed by the fleece. Set the second piece of batting on top of that, followed by the second cotton square, right-side-up.  Stack the pieces in this order: fabric, batting, fleece, batting, fabric. The right side of the fabric is the same as the front. The wrong side is the back. Use a ruler and chalk to draw a diagonal line from the top-right to the bottom-left corner. Continue to draw parallel lines to either side of it until you reach the opposite corners. Repeat this process for the top-left and bottom-right corner.

Equine vets must travel to your home, which is an added expense. Your vet may charge less if they are able to do several checkups on the same visit. If your horse is boarded in a facility or other horse owners live near you, work with your fellow owners to arrange a single vet visit for all of your horses. This allows the vet to make one trip to see several horses. Generally, they’ll give each owner a small discount, as the vet saves travel time and resources. Most horses don't need every vaccination available to them, so you can save money by only getting the shots your horse needs. Talk to your vet about the risks your horse faces in the area where you live. Be sure to tell your vet when and where your horse may encounter other horses or animals. The vet can then recommend the best vaccination plan for your horse. A horse that doesn't live with other horses may need fewer vaccinations than a horse that is a member of a herd. It’s often cheaper for your horse to go barefoot, as you don’t need to pay for shoes. However, you will still need to trim the hooves.  As an alternative, you can shoe just the front feet, which bear over half of the horse’s weight. Ask your farrier’s advice before keeping your horse barefoot. In some cases, leaving a horse barefoot may be more expensive in the long run than having the horse shoed. Put a brush in each hand to cut down on the time you spend brushing the horse. Similarly, comb out the mane and tail with both hands at the same time. This will cut your grooming time in half. This might seem obvious, but it’s not intuitive to groom your horse this way.

TL;DR in English: Arrange with fellow owners to have group vet checkups. Get only the vaccinations recommended for your area. Ask your farrier if going barefoot is a good idea for your horse. Use both hands when grooming your horse.

Remember, this is a big instrument, so your air needs to be big and fast to get the sound out out of the horn. Breath deep down into your diaphragm, not up high in your throat. That air has a long way to go, so start it out from a place of power. Unless you're playing a Sousaphone in a marching band, the goal is not to blow all of your air reserves through the horn at once, but to keep your diaphragm taunt. If someone were to punch you in the stomach, you should stay tight and not collapse. Tense your abdominal muscles while you play and while you blow. While blowing, close your lips to the point that it vibrates in the mouthpiece. Keep blowing and vibrating your lips so that sound gets out of the tuba. As tuba is a large brass, try blowing a raspberry into the mouthpiece. That's the kind of vibration you are looking at. Once you've got your buzz figured out, start your note by saying either "ta" or "da" into the mouthpiece, depending on how you want to articulate the note.  A properly maintained "embouchure" is critical to playing brass instruments. It's difficult to buzz your lips properly when you're first learning how to play. Don't puff out your cheeks. It's a waste of air that should be going into your horn, it looks silly, and you'll end up with very sore cheeks after only a brief period of playing. At any given position or configuration of keys pressed and open, you can play a number of notes, usually three. Some beginners have difficulty hitting a note right the first time, but don't worry too much while you're just getting started. Practice feeling where the different registers are.  Pinch your cheeks and your lips as you blow to control the amount of air that comes through your "buzz." You can raise or lower the pitch of the note in the same position, accordingly. Try associating how the note will sound, where the note is on the staff, what it feels like to play the note, and the fingering for it.  Many beginners only associate the note on the staff and the fingering for it, so they become confused...

TL;DR in English: Breathe from your diaphragm. Buzz your lips. Practice changing notes without pressing the valves. Press the valves properly.

Your home environment may have a lot of obstacles and conditions the cat either may adapt after several months or years, or not at all. Some obstacles that are typically more difficult to overcome are young children and existing pets, especially dogs. High levels of patience are required and it helps if you are able to provide a dedicated room for the cat the first few months. This helps the cat adjust to new territory and will likely pay off in the end by establishing a warm relationship.

TL;DR in English: Help your cat adapt to the new home environment. Provide lots of encouragement for the cat.

Get the spray bottle with your chosen cleaning solution inside. Generously spray the entire area with the solution so that there is a visible, even coating. Try not to completely saturate the area, as otherwise, there will be excessive liquid to clean up later. Aim to apply enough of the cleaning solution so that the area is visibly wet, but not so much that puddles form. Be very careful not to slip if you are working on floor tiles or grouting. Fold a cleaning cloth into quarters and wipe the entire area where you sprayed the cleaning solution. The mold should wipe away easily onto the cloth. Use a new side of the cloth whenever the first side gets saturated or too dirty.  You may need to swap cleaning cloths throughout the process, especially if you are cleaning a large area. Alternatively, you can use a sponge instead of a cloth if you prefer. Smooth surfaces include showers, baths, basins, and tiles. If the mold remains, it’s time to take more serious measures! Scrub the affected area vigorously until the mold comes away. Try to clean any mold away as soon as it grows so that you don't need to resort to scrubbing. Have a dedicated scrubbing brush strictly for bathroom mold to prevent spreading the spores throughout your home. Use a back and forward motion to remove mold from grout or caulking with an old toothbrush. Rinse the toothbrush under running water to remove any mold while you clean, as this prevents the mold spores from spreading throughout the bathroom.  Use a dedicated toothbrush for cleaning mold in the bathroom so that the spores don’t spread throughout your home. You can use a larger scrubbing brush if you prefer, but a toothbrush is the easiest to use in tight spaces. You can purchase specialty grout scrubbers from home improvement stores. Remove the excess liquid from the area that you cleaned to keep the bathroom dry and to prevent slips. Run the cloth over all of the smooth surfaces and the grout or caulking to remove the excess moisture. This also removes any mold that has been scrubbed...

TL;DR in English: Spray the mold cleaning solution over the area you wish to clean. Wipe smooth surfaces with a cleaning cloth to remove the mold. Use a scrubbing brush to remove stubborn mold from smooth surfaces. Scrub grout or caulking with a toothbrush. Dry the cleaned area with a cleaning cloth. Replace the grout or caulking if you can’t remove the mold stains.

Using acupressure on the area around your nose may be able to relieve congestion and headaches that come from having a runny nose. Clearing the mucus from your nose is the best way to get it to stop running, so gently blow your nose into tissues when you need to. If your nose is extremely runny, rip a tissue in half, roll the pieces into 2 small balls, and place one in each nostril. Breathe normally, or through your mouth. To ease the pressure in your nose and help it stop running, take a hot bath or shower and let the room get steamy. You can also drape a towel over your head and lean over a pot or bowl of hot water, or turn on a hot shower and simply sit in your bathroom without actually getting in. Do this 2-4 times per day.  You can also use a vaporizer or humidifier for the same effect. For an extra kick, add eucalyptus oil, camphor spirit, or peppermint oil. Pour a bit into your bowl of hot water, or flick some around your shower before you turn it on. Dip a washcloth into warm water, or run it under the sink until it’s saturated. Wring it out until it’s just damp, then place it over your face for 2-3 minutes. You can also wet the wash cloth, then heat it up in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, or until it’s warm. Resting is important when your body is fighting off annoying symptoms like a runny nose. When you lie down to rest, prop your head up on a couple of pillows to encourage the fluids in your nose to drain naturally. This position will also help you breathe easier. Keeping your body hydrated encourages the fluids in your nose to drain away, which will help your nose stop running. Try to drink a glass of water every hour or so, and mix in hot liquids like herbal tea or even soup to soothe your nose even more. Mix 1 cup (240 ml) of warm water, ½ tsp (3 g) of salt, and a pinch of baking soda. Use a syringe, a small spray bottle, or a neti pot to apply the saline spray to the inside of your nose 3-4 times a day. Be careful not to overuse your saline spray, which can actually make your runny nose worse.

TL;DR in English: Treat sinus pain and congestion with light acupressure. Sniff, swallow, or gently blow your nose to clear out fluids. Try an at-home steam treatment. Place a warm, wet washcloth on your face to ease the pressure in your nose. Keep your head elevated when you lie down to ease congestion. Drink lots of water and warm liquids to help the mucus drain. Make your own saline spray to clear out mucus.

Whether the dealership logo is a decal or a badge, it may come apart as you scrape at it. Work slowly, applying pressure to the edge of the card or scraper to keep it as flat against the vehicle as possible as you press into the logo.  A badge will need to have all the of adhesive holding the plastic in place separated. Then you may need to repeat the process to remove the last bits of adhesive that remain. A decal will need to be scraped off entirely. If it's taking you a little time to scrape the logo off of the vehicle, it may begin to cool, allowing the adhesive to re-harden. Avoid this by using the hair dryer to heat it up again every few minutes as you work.  If you feel the adhesive start to give you more resistance, heat it up again. If you've heated the logo up enough, most can be removed without reheating again. As you scrape beneath the logo, enough material may become loose for you to just grab it with your fingers and pull it away. With decals, it's best to peel the logo off, but with badges, you can just pull it off as you scrape. Badge style logos may break as you remove them. If the dealership logo was a plastic badge secured with glue, it may come off and leave an adhesive residue behind. Spray on an adhesive remover, then use a rag to wipe it and the leftover adhesive away.  Read the directions on the adhesive remover before applying it to the vehicle. You can buy adhesive remover at any auto parts or hardware store.

TL;DR in English: Scrape decals or adhesive away slowly. Reheat the logo as necessary. Use your fingers to remove large portions of the logo. Use adhesive remover on any leftover glue.

It’s appropriate to use a gerund if the action verb is the subject of the sentence. For example:   Flying makes me nervous.  Eating meat contributes to global warming.  Smoking causes cancer. ” If you have a complement verb that you’re pairing with the verb “to be,” then you’ll need to use the gerund form. For example:  One of the best things in life is drinking wine with friends. She hates her brothers because they are acting mean. A problem in production is shipping products overseas. If the verb appears in the sentence after a preposition, it’s necessary to use the gerund form. For example:  I’m good at swimming. We made it to the hotel after driving all night. In spite of missing our flight, we made it to the reunion. A phrasal verb is made up of a verb plus a preposition or adverb. There are many common phrasal verbs that include gerunds in the English language. For example:  I ended up buying a new car this weekend. She wanted to give up smoking. My brother always puts off cleaning his room. There are certain compound nouns that include a gerund. In these situations, the context makes it clear that the gerund is part of the noun, not a continuous verb. For example:  We have a swimming pool in our backyard. My mom bought me some new running shoes. She really needs a driving lesson before she takes the test. In the English language, there are quite a few common sayings that use gerunds as part of the expression. These include expressions like it’s no use, can’t stand, can’t help, or to be worth. For example:  It’s no use asking her to forgive me. My brother can’t stand losing a game. I couldn’t help feeling bad about it. It might be worth searching for a later show.

TL;DR in English:


Slip stitch into the second stitch. Repeat across. Cut and fasten off the yarn.

Remove all screws from the support hardware. Patch, sand and paint ceiling as needed. Wirenut all wires and install cover on box, or install a new fixture on electrical box. If installing a new fixture, connect it to the "white" and "light" wires.  Connect the bare or green wires together and to the fixture bar.  Tuck the unused "fan" (if provided) to the back of the box.

TL;DR in English: Remove support hardware from ceiling. Trim ceiling. Cover ceiling electrical box.

Vegetables can be served, raw, baked, steamed, grilled, in a salad, in juice form, stir-fried and broiled. Try a wide variety and in different ways until you find the vegetables that your child will like and in the style, they will like to eat them in. If your child likes macaroni and cheese, make it with steamed broccoli or peas mixed in. If your child likes spaghetti, mix in tomatoes, mushrooms, or peas and carrots into the sauce. Sometimes mixing right into their favorite foods makes them eat it without even noticing. Make your child part of the juicing experience and they may be more inclined to drink them. Combinations such as carrot, apple, and celery juice are usually sweet to the taste and a big hit. Don't juice too often. It's far healthier to eat the food than to drink it. Most children love to dip items (i.e French fries in ketchup) so provide them dipping choices such as a salad dressing they might like and let them dip away. Always make vegetables ready to at and available with lunch, dinner, and snack. By having them readily, available your child will eat when they are ready. Find recipes that allow you to add fruit or vegetables to them, like banana or zucchini muffins. Try edible faces with carrot circles for eyes, strips of pepper for eyebrows, baby sweet corn for the nose and broccoli pieces for the mouth. Kids will enjoy helping with the composition, especially if you deliberately make a few anatomical mistakes. Add wild hairdos with shredded cabbage, watercress, or courgette ribbons. It is quick, so they get to see instant results. Try stir-frying peas, pepper strips, bean sprouts, and Chinese cabbage, or a mixture of sweet corn, small chunks of carrot and peas.

TL;DR in English: Try a different vegetable every day and prepare it in different ways. Mix the vegetables into your child’s favorite meal. Try juicing vegetables and mixing with fruit. Offer vegetables and fruit with dip. Find foods that your kids already like to eat, like smoothies, muffins, or yogurt. Offer visually appealing vegetable and fruit. Introduce color into your children’s diet with stir-frying.

For summer white outfits, wear stackable silver rings and chunky bangle bracelets. Chunky pieces look a little more playful than delicate pieces, making them more suited for casual dress. The simplicity of a white outfit also allows bold jewelry to take center stage without competition. Since white is such a simple color, a long pendant that extends well below your neckline is an appropriate way to add visual interest to your outfit. A nature-themed design, such as a flower or leaf, plays into the boho style. For a dressier look, stack thin bangles on your wrist to create a whimsical look while adding detail to a simple white background. Dangling earrings with baby blue aquamarine stones or delicate pendants set in silver are perfect for summer. Light tones work well for daytime and coordinate with white to create a delicate, classy appeal. If you would rather try for city chic than quiet elegance, bold colors are the way to go. Look for costume jewelry necklaces strewn with bright red, green, or orange gemstones. Long necklaces that drape over your front are especially effective at adding vigor to your ensemble. If you want an elegant touch to your evening white outfit, wear simple pearl pieces, like bracelets or post earrings. If you wear a pearl necklace, choose one that hugs your neck instead of one that hangs over your blouse or dress. Pearls look elegant, even with a white outfit, but pearls that overlap with your outfit will only get lost. Try black or pink pearls. Black pearls and other shades, like pink, can add a nice twist to your look. If you want a simple, sleek look, go for an all white outfit adorned by black jewelry. The black-and-white look can be very timeless. Wear long necklaces, dangling earrings, and chunky rings. If your outfit itself is relatively unadorned, you can get away with wearing multiple strong pieces. Add a simple black belt, black heels, or even a black jacket to complete your black-and-white outfit. These bold earrings do not look good with other pieces of jewelry,...

TL;DR in English: Wear bold jewelry on your hands. Consider a nature-themed pendant with a long chain. Stack your wrists with thin bangle bracelets. Choose light colored jewelry. Liven things up with bright gemstones. Wear pearls. Keep things simple with black gemstones, like onyx. Wear a pair of chandelier earrings.

Vacuum or sweep your cork floors. Do this to remove any obvious layers of dirt or dust. That dirt can scratch the floor over time. Use a soft-bristled broom or a low setting on your vacuum. Combine a drop of mild dish soap with ¼ cup (60 mL) white vinegar and 1 quart (.946 L) of warm water. Put the solution in a spray bottle to apply it most easily to any surface. Mix it gently by rocking it back and forth or stirring gently. Don't shake it or you'll create unwanted suds.  Don't worry if you add a little extra soap. You can also use a combination of liquid soap and water. Try combining 5 drops of soap to every quart (.946 L) of water. Try using a gently abrasive cleaning solution. Watch out for cleansers that contain bleach. These can discolor your cork. Also avoid acidic cleansers that might damage your cork. Don't use products like a Swiffer on your cork floors, as they can leave streaks. Steam mops use a lot of water as they clean the floor, which can damage cork flooring. The steam may damage the finish on your floor or the cork itself. It's best to avoid using this type of cleaner on your floors.

TL;DR in English: Vacuum cork floors. Prepare a cleaning solution with soap, vinegar, and water. Use store-bought cleaners. Avoid using a steam mop to clean cork floors.

Aside from the nasal spray, flu shots are given intramuscularly in the deltoid, which is the upper arm and shoulder region.  While the intradermal applied at 45 degrees just under the skin, the intramuscular injections are 90 degrees straight into the muscle, so your arm needs to be exposed in order for the needle to penetrate the skin. The viruses in the flu shot are dead (inactivated) or attenuated (weakened to ineffectiveness), so you will not get the flu from a flu shot.  There are some minor side effects, however. If these problems occur, they begin soon after the shot and usually last about 1-2 days. These can include:  Soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given Hoarseness or wheezing Sore, red or itchy eyes cough Low-grade fever, chills Muscle aches and headaches Runny nose/nasal congestion Abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea Fatigue Look for any unusual condition, such as a high fever or behavior changes. Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include difficulty breathing, hoarseness or wheezing, hives, paleness, weakness, a fast heartbeat or dizziness. Tell the doctor what happened, the date and time it happened, and when the vaccination was given. If you’re in the US and you have a negative reaction to the flu shot, ask your provider to report the reaction by filing a Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) form.  Or you can file this report through the VAERS website at www.vaers.hhs.gov, or by calling 1-800-822-7967.  People who think that they have been injured by the flu shot can file a claim for compensation from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). To find out if you qualify to file a petition, visit: https://www.hrsa.gov/vaccine-compensation/index.html.

TL;DR in English: Expose your arm for a shot from a needle. Keep an eye out for potential side effects. Call a doctor if you observe a severe reaction. Report any complications if you live in the US.

Insert the yarn into the second vertical bar from the hook. Yarn over the hook, then pull the yarn-over through both loops on your hook.  You can finish your work when you reach the end of a reverse row and only have one loop left on your hook. You should only be left with one loop on your hook at the end of this step. Continue slip stitching into each stitch along the top edge of your work until you reach the end of your row. For each stitch, insert the hook into the next vertical bar, yarn over, and pull the yarn-over through both loops on your hook. Cut the yarn, leaving at least a 2 inch (5 cm) tail. Pull this tail through the last loop on your hook to fasten off the work.  For added security, weave the excess tail into the back of the work, hiding it from sight. This should complete your Tunisian crochet project.

Dry, damaged lips can have a dark appearance. Use a good quality lip balm. Check the ingredients to make sure that it has both a moisturizer, such as shea butter or cocoa butter, and a binding agent, such as beeswax.  Good moisturizing ingredients to look for include shea butter, cocoa butter, and almond oil. Shea butter has been used since ancient times and is known for its antioxidant and moisturizing properties. Cocoa butter is often used to reduce discoloration from scarring. Almond oil is considered one of the best oils to improve the health and appearance of skin. Protect your lips from the sun as you protect the rest of your skin. Lips don't tan but they can burn and become dry which will make them appear darker.  Make sure your lip balm has sun blocking material of SPF 20 or greater. Use lipsticks with sun block of SPF 20 also. , if you do. Smoking can discolor lips, as tobacco, nicotine, and tar can all darken lips. Additionally, heat from cigarettes may cause you to produce more melanin (which protects skin from the sun) and darken your lips. Quitting is hard. Talk to your doctor about medications that can help you quit, as well as gum or patches.

TL;DR in English: Moisturize your lips. Use sunblock. Quit smoking

Chickens are attracted to bare patches of ground. If you keep the ground of your garden densely covered but have a separate area of bare ground within view, most chickens will leave the garden behind and gravitate toward the uncovered soil.  Clear a square space roughly 1 yard (91.4 cm) long and 1 yard (91.4 cm) wide. Remove all plant life from that space, including weeds and grass, leaving only the bare soil behind. The chickens will gravitate toward this area. They may scratch and poke around for insects, and they'll often use this space for dust baths. If they have a space dedicated for these purposes, they may not be inclined to do these things elsewhere in your yard. It is also a good idea to sprinkle diatomaceous earth over this patch of ground every few months to keep chicken mites away. If you're trying to repel your own chickens, you might want to consider planting two separate gardens: one for you and one for your chickens. Fill the chicken garden with plenty of appealing and healthy edible plants for your chickens to nibble on.  This trick works best when used in conjunction with other chicken-repelling techniques. Creating a separate chicken garden may not be enough to solve the problem if it is the only thing you do. Your chicken garden should include bushes and low-growing trees that can provide shelter for chickens needing to hide from the sun or from potential predators. Include an evergreen shrub so that the chickens have cover in the winter, as well. Planting edible bushes will be a bonus feature for the chickens. Berry bushes, like elderberry and blueberry bushes, are usually good options. When you're trying to manage your own chickens, the use of edible bushes can also reduce the cost of feeding your chickens.

TL;DR in English: Keep bare patches away from the garden. Plant a separate garden for the chickens.

Many pest control companies make special adhesive pads that trap larger invading species, like lizards, so you can get them out of your home without having to hunt for them. Place a few of these traps around the front and back doors, basement windows, ceiling light fixtures, and the perimeter of the garage. Check the traps a couple times a day to see whether they’ve caught anything.  Sticky traps use powerful glues that form a strong bond on contact. As a result, it won’t be possible to humanely release the gecko once it wanders onto the pad.  If you have small children or pets, be careful not to let them get near the traps you've set. If you’re quick enough, try catching geckos that have found their way into your home. Run them into a corner, then position a jar or shoebox in front of them and wait for them to dart in before you close the lid. Once you’ve got them contained, take them outside and release them into the wild where they’ll no longer be a nuisance.  The occasional lizard sighting doesn’t constitute an infestation, and is usually nothing to worry about. Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water after handling any type of reptile. When you find uninvited guests on your patio or near the front door, use your broom to push them toward the exit. The bristles can also barricade them and keep them from escaping. Sweep with gentle strokes to avoid harming the gecko. Brooms are useful for shooing geckos out of cracks, crevices, and other tight spots where they tend to hide. Fill up a spray bottle and leave it in the refrigerator until the next time you spot a gecko in your living space. Geckos and other lizards are cold-blooded animals, which means they seek out warm surroundings. A few quick spritzes will usually be enough to send them scurrying.  If you’re swarmed with geckos while gardening or working in your yard, a blast from the water hose will have the same effect. It’s important that the water be room temperature or colder—any warmer and it might not be unpleasant enough to be an...

TL;DR in English: Set out sticky traps. Remove geckos by hand. Sweep them out with a broom. Squirt them with cold water. Call an exterminator.

One of the things that can make the difference between true north and magnetic north so difficult for navigators is that the effect on compasses can change over time. This phenomenon is called declination — as the earth's magnetic field fluctuates, the number of degrees by which a compass will be "off" from true north will shift accordingly. Thus, to accurately adjust your compass to account for this effect, you'll need a recent declination value for your location. Luckily, the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) keeps up-to date records of global declination values. At the NGDC website, you can enter your current location to receive the most recent declination value available for your area. Some physical maps will also include declination values for the area displayed in the map. Topographical maps are the most likely to include this information, though it can be in other types of maps as well. If you're considering navigating by map and compass, consider checking your map's legend to see whether the map contains accurate declination data. Note, of course, that declination changes over time, so old maps can quickly become out of date. For the most accurate values, use the most recently-published map available. Once you know how "off" your compass is from true north, it's not hard to adjust for this discrepancy. Begin by finding magnetic north. Hold your compass flat and level in front of you. If your compass has a travel arrow (usually a skinny red arrow on the flat lower portion of the compass, point this forward. Watch the motion of the compass needle. When the needle stops moving, note the direction the needle points. This will be the north-south axis. Most modern compasses have a needle that is half red and half white. In this case, the red end of the needle is the north-pointing end. If you're navigating by compass, typically, at this point, you would adjust the compass's bezel to that the direction you're intending to travel is directly in front of you, aligned with the travel arrow. In this case,...

TL;DR in English: Find your local declination from the NGDC. Alternatively, find your declination from a map. Find magnetic north with your compass. Turn the orienting arrow so it points ahead of you. Adjust for declination.

This section will give you lots of ideas on how to make your hunt more unique and interesting. It will help you find a theme and design. It will also offer a few creative twists. You don't have to use all of the ideas from this list. Choose the ones that appeal to you the most. This will make it a lot easier to come up with items. If you are having a scavenger hunt as part of a party, consider tying the theme to the party's theme. For example, if your party has a superhero theme, give the scavenger hunt a superhero theme as well. Use items that the superheroes would use, such as masks and capes. Here are some more ideas to get you started:  Base the scavenger hunt off of the guests' interests. For example, if the scavenger hunt is for a literature class, base all of the items of the different books the students are reading. If Harry Potter is on the list, consider including items such as broomsticks, owls, capes, and feather quills. You can even set the hunt up in a library. Base the scavenger hunt off of a holiday. If the hunt is during October, consider giving the hunt a Halloween theme. Have the players search for items that are related to Halloween, such as pumpkins, black cats, bats, spiders, witches, and skeletons. Focus on your location. If your scavenger hunt takes place in a park, scout out the park first and write down some things you notice, such as a weird-looking tree or a particular statue. You don't want the players to look for something that does not exist. Invent your own theme. You can base the hunt off of any theme you want. Here are a few just to get you started: animals, books, food, historical time period,  ocean, movies, musical theater, rainforest, superhero, video games, and so forth. The players will need to figure out what the item is before going to find it. This is great for scavenger hunts that involve taking pictures. You can also make the riddles rhyme. For example:  Instead of writing down "toaster," you could write, "I make toast crunchy and warm." Instead of writing...

TL;DR in English: Know that there are a lot of ways to step up the creativity of your hunt to the next level. Establish a theme. Instead of writing down item names on your list, write down what the item does. Turn a scavenger hunt into a bingo game. Give the players a list of items to find and have them write down the item in blank space provided. Keep the ages of the players in mind. Match the theme of your list to the theme of your scavenger hunt.

For this experiment, you will need a large bucket, such as one that holds 10 gallons (38 l). You will need water. You will need a lighter, a pack of matches, or a fire igniter. Finally, you will need 5-10 pieces of plain printer paper. Fill your large bucket with water and place it outside. Make sure it is not located near wood, paper, dry grass, or other flammable material. For example, a driveway, parking lot, or gravel alley may be the most fire-safe place to complete this experiment. Stack several pieces of white printer paper on top of each other. Roll them up as tightly as you can into a single tube. If you wish, you may secure them at one end with a rubber band 3/4 of the way down the tube. You can hold the tube below the rubberband. For peak scientific precision, use a pencil to mark the quarter and halfway points along the tube. This will show you how much of the tube to burn. Hold your paper tube by its rubber-banded end over the bucket of water. Light the end that is furthest from you. You should see flame, but no smoke. Allow it to burn into a quarter or a half of the paper has burned away, then gently blow it out. Watch out for stray bits of paper. If you see any, stamp on them or drip water on them so that no fires start. After you have blown out the fire, your tube should give off white smoke for a minute or so. The white smoke is the result of burning cellulose that releases water droplets and unburned fuel from the paper. You may burn it and blow it out until you are satisfied. Do not burn the paper once you can no longer hold it below the rubber band. Drop the paper in the water bucket before it gets too close to your hand.  Make sure to soak the paper in water when you're done with it to avoid starting a fire. To produce black smoke, burn the end with the rubber band. It will smell horrible.

If you have a computer or smartphone, you have many useful calorie-counting tools at your fingertips. Resources like the USDA’s Food Composition Database or WebMD’s Food Calorie Calculator archive the nutrition facts for virtually every food imaginable and make them easy to view with the touch of a button.  Non-packaged items, like fresh fruits and vegetables and prepared meals in restaurants, don’t give you the benefit of being able to review the relevant nutrition facts. An online calorie counter can come in handy when you want to know more about what’s in these foods. Some calorie counters only offer the number of calories and recommended serving sizes of the foods you look up. Others may also give you their macronutrient values. As an alternative to online tools, there are also traditional publications that document the nutritional value of common food items. Bring your guidebook with you when you eat out or go grocery shopping to get a sense of how various foods are being used in your body.  A few of the most popular food composition guides include “The Complete Book of Food Counts” by Corinne T. Netzer, “Nutritive Value of Foods,” by Susan E. Gebhardt, and the USDA’s “Handbook of the Nutritional Value of Foods in Common Units.” Some guidebooks even report the nutritional value of menu selections at well-known restaurants. If you’re ever wanted to know how many calories are in a Bloomin’ Onion from Outback Steakhouse, now’s your chance! Type in the name of the item or flip through your food composition guidebook until you find the correct listing. There, you’ll see the calorie count for the USDA recommended serving size, along with other info like the values of the major macronutrients and recommended daily values (DV).  Be sure to specify the exact serving size of the item you’re researching. Serving sizes are most often measured in cups, ounces, or grams.  The items in a food composition guide may be listed alphabetically or grouped into sections by category (such as fruits, vegetables, meats, bread...

TL;DR in English: Use an online calorie calculator to look up nutritional information quickly. Carry a food composition guidebook when you’re on the go. Search for a food or ingredient. Look up ingredients for homemade meals separately. Consider the nutritional distinctions between similar foods.

Brew a pot of herbal or decaffeinated black tea and stir honey into it. Then sip the tea as you relax before bedtime. Drinking tea will soothe your throat and the honey coats it, making it easier to swallow.  Black tea has cough-suppressing qualities, but it's important to drink decaffeinated varieties so it won't keep you alert and awake at night. You can also soothe your throat by drinking plain hot water (as long as it isn’t hot enough to burn your mouth and throat). before bed. Stir 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) of natural sea salt into 1 cup (240 ml) of warm water. Keep stirring until the salt is dissolved. Then take a sip and gargle the liquid near the back of your throat. Spit it out and keep gargling until you've used all of the solution.  Gargling with saltwater will numb the pain of a sore throat and the salt can kill bacteria that may be making you sick. Gargling saltwater isn't recommended for children under 6 years old. Research shows that mentholated gel can make it easier to sleep if you have an upper respiratory tract infection that's causing the sore throat. The menthol in the gel can make you feel more comfortable, making it easier to breathe. If you wake in the middle of the night with a sore throat, reach for a lozenge or sips of water. These will moisten your throat, which dries out as you sleep. Sucking on a lozenge will also make your mouth produce saliva, which will moisten your throat as you swallow.  Don't lay back down when you have a lozenge in your mouth because this will increase your risk of choking. Sit up until the lozenge is dissolved. Try lozenges containing 7 mg of pectin, such as Halls Fruit Breezers. Dissolve 1 lozenge slowly in your mouth every 1 to 2 hours as needed. Cold beverages or treats can numb your throat long enough for you to fall asleep. For example, suck on ice chips or drink an ice-cold beverage before you go to bed. You can also enjoy popsicles, ice cream, or frozen yogurt, which will dull the pain of a sore throat. Avoid milk if you're running a fever, as that...

TL;DR in English: Drink warm tea with honey during the evening. Gargle with salt water Rub mentholated gel on your chest and neck before bedtime. Keep lozenges or water on your bedside table. Eat or drink something cold before bedtime.

It won’t help your ingrown pubic hair go away. While you’re treating the infection, you need to leave the hair alone. Trying to pull it out can make the infection worse. Ask your doctor when it’s okay to try to remove your ingrown pubic hair. It’s possible that your pubic hair will emerge on its own as your infection clears.

TL;DR in English: See your doctor if you notice signs of an infection. Use an antibiotic as directed if your doctor prescribes it. Don’t try to remove the hair until the area heals.

Part of being mellow is knowing when you should actually change something that is gnawing at you. If you're irritated by a co-worker and do nothing to address it, then yeah, you are unlikely to feel mellow when you're at work. If your closet door is driving you crazy but you don't try to fix it, then you won't be feeling mellow for very long. The important thing is to approach the fixable problems in life with calm and resolve. Ask yourself about which things in life are causing you to not be mellow. Work to find a way to solve or address the problems that you are able to deal with. Along with changing the things you can change, in order to truly be mellow, you have to be able to learn to accept the things you cannot change. You can address a problematic co-worker to discuss issues you've been having, but you may not be able to change the fact that you hate the weather in the place where you live or that you have to live with siblings who pester you. Learn to recognize when a situation is out of your control and accept it with a calm mind. Let's say your new boss is driving you crazy, but you really love your job. If you try to resolve the issue and fail, then you have to learn to focus on the parts of your job that you love in spite of being annoyed by your boss. If you're the kind of person who doesn't know how to forgive and forget, then you are guaranteed to be less mellow. If one of your friends or family members has truly upset you, you have to work on being able to talk about it and to move past it, even if you haven't completely forgiven the person. If you walk around holding a grudge, then you are guaranteed to be in an angry, riled-up state instead of facing the day with calm and peace.  If you spend so much time obsessing over being mad at people who rejected you or fuming over people who have harmed you, then you will never be able to mellow out. Sure, it can help to talk about how someone has hurt you. But if you keep talking about it to everyone within earshot, you're only going to work yourself...

TL;DR in English: Empower yourself to change what you can change. Stop freaking out about the things you can't change. Don't hold a grudge. Keep a journal. Learn to take it one step at a time.

If the life line is clearly marked and encircles a firm Venus in a wide arc, reaching well across the hand, the person will have plenty of energy and staying power. Conversely, if the life line is weak and hugs close to the thumb, the person will have little energy. If the Mount of Venus is full, but flabby, the person will have great ideas but will never get around to doing any of them. When things go wrong, this individual will always blame others rather than him or herself.

TL;DR in English:


Communicate your boundaries. Ask for a friend’s help. Set a time limit for the conversation. Dismiss annoying strangers. Be honest with annoying friends.

You can purchase octopus at seafood markets or specialty Asian stores.   First, you will need to poach the octopus. This means you will submerge the octopus in a poaching liquid such as water or stock. Poach for about 13 minutes per pound. Let the octopus cool in the poaching liquid. Once cool, remove the skin by rubbing it with a paper towel. It should come away easily. Sear the outside of the skinned octopus in a skillet or grill for about 8 minutes per side. If sliced thin, only sear the octopus for 2 minutes per side. You will need to do this with a sharp knife on a cutting board. This recipe calls for 3.5-5 ounces of cooked octopus but this amount may vary according to your tastes.  Cut the octopus into small pieces. Most recipes call for 1/2 inch cubes of octopus.   The chunks of octopus need to be small so several can fit into each piece of takoyaki. Set aside in a large bowl. They will need to be ground into a fine consistency. This recipe uses about 1/4 cup of the flakes.   You can do this using a mortar and pestle. Place the flakes into the mortar and grind them with the pestle by scraping and pushing against the mortar. Alternatively, you can use an electric spice grinder. These include: 1 cup of all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of kombucha, and 1 tsp baking powder.  Put all of these in a medium sized glass bowl. Whisk together the dry ingredients to make sure they are evenly mixed. If you do not adequately mix the dry ingredients you can get clumps of baking powder in the batter. This can cause parts of your batter to have an unpleasant taste. Make sure this is evenly whisked.  Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Use a whisk to stir the mixture. Whisk until the egg is evenly mixed into the dry ingredients. Whisk as you do so to make a smooth batter.   The batter should be about the thickness and consistency of pancake batter. If the batter appears too thin, add a small amount of flour and whisk thoroughly. If the batter appears too thick, add a small amount of dashi stock and mix.

TL;DR in English: Prepare your octopus if you have purchased it fresh rather than cooked. Chop up the cooked octopus. Grind some katsuobushi flakes. Combine the dry ingredients of the recipe. Whisk together 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce. Add the dashi stock slowly, a little at a time.

Doing something you enjoy will most likely involve people with common interests to you. Having a common interest will make it easier to get to know someone, as you will have something to discuss. If you are willing to give your time to a good cause, you may also get a new friend for your time. Doing certain kinds of volunteer work may attract people who have similarities to you. If you have kids, consider volunteering to coach one of their teams. This will get you in contact with other parents of kids the same age. If you are religious, consider volunteering at your religious institution. This will allow you to meet other people who prioritize religion in their lives. You don't always have to go out of your neighborhood to find a new friend.  Do you run into the same neighbors outside of there homes working in their yards or playing with their kids all the time? Strike up a casual conversation with them and gauge whether you would like to hang out with them. If you would, invite them over to your house for coffee or a drink. Make is super causal but make the effort. Take the time to get to know your coworkers. There may be one that you would like to hang out with outside of work.

TL;DR in English: Find and join a group that does an activity you enjoy. Volunteer with a charitable organization. Befriend your neighbor or co-worker.

Clean different areas more thoroughly as needed. It saves time in the long run. Choose something that you enjoy doing or having. Knowing that you can’t have it until your room is clean will keep you motivated.

TL;DR in English: Stay motivated. Have someone check on you. Complete everything. Reward yourself.

Oftentimes, Millennials will ask for advice or for an opinion. Respond to email quickly, even if it’s just to give a brief answer or inform them that their question is part of a larger discussion you are planning to have later in the day or workweek. Millennials might have expectations that seem unreasonable or strange to you, but the first step in communicating with them is recognizing that these expectations come from pressures they have in their current lives. The best thing to do is to talk to them and try to understand their expectations while simultaneously setting boundaries about what is reasonable.   For example, struggles like paying off massive student loans or trying to find a place to live in increasingly unstable housing markets can manifest themselves in the workplace through the desire to get promoted quickly. Respond to such worries by explaining that, while they can’t be promoted within a month, or become a Director of something within a year, there are opportunities for career advancement. You don’t need to schedule a formal employee review every month, but what you can do is to provide small, informal responses weekly or even daily. Millennials value transparency, and helping them know what your expectations are (and how they’re doing in regards to those expectations) help them meet and even exceed those expectations. While Millennials do value frequent praise and transparency, not all of the praise has to be positive. In general, a Millennial would rather you recognize they’ve accomplished something (a neutral recognition is fine) and then give them honest, precise feedback about what they’ve accomplished, even if that feedback is negative. Millennials are the generation that’s most open to mentoring and coaching. They value advice from more “experienced” team members, and enjoy having someone to talk to about work. A mentor should be someone who is willing to answer questions about the job and the company as a whole, and who isn’t afraid to take some time out of their week to check in....

TL;DR in English: Practice responding quickly. Set expectations. Provide regular feedback. Don’t feel the need to only provide positive feedback. Establish mentoring chains. Leverage technology in your workspace.

Be clear but polite about any boundaries that you have with the annoying person. These boundaries can remain the same or they can change depending on the conversation or circumstance. You can give a reason for your boundary to minimize hurting their feelings, but you do not have to explain your boundaries. For example, if a classmate is always interrupting your study session you might say something like, “I don’t mean to be rude but I have two more hours to study before my exam.” Sometimes being direct with an annoying person isn’t an option or isn’t working. If someone is constantly annoying you, you might consider enlisting the help of a friend. Discuss this with your friend and suggest that your friend “rescue” you when the annoying person is around.  For example, when you have a guest who is going to visit your home and often overstays their welcome, coordinate a plan with a friend to call at a certain time. Your friend can call and need you to help them with an emergency. Keep in mind that this technique is probably only going to work one time. Be clear about the amount of time that you have to talk to an annoying person before they begin the conversation. Let the annoying person about the commitment that you have that restricts your time with them. Then, be sure to stick to that time commitment. You might say something like, “I only have five minutes to chat right now. I am working on a deadline.” to a co-worker who keeps bothering you in your office. The world has no shortage of rude or obnoxious people. The best way to deal with these annoying strangers is not to deal with them at all. Even if they say something that irritates you, let it go and stay focused on yourself. If someone says something that you find to be annoying as you walk by, just keep walking and don’t acknowledge them. If you have an annoying friend or co-worker, it might help if you have a conversation with them. Be as polite as possible, and point out specific behaviors that annoy you and/or other people. Make it clear that you are...

It is important to be absolutely sure about your own reasons for wanting the surgery. Knowing why you want breast augmentation surgery and what your expectations are before going ahead is most important. Having this procedure will have an effect on your looks or possibly your attractiveness in the eyes of others, but are you really doing this for? Men who are interested in your looks only, are not worth a second glance. Understand that even with implants, your breasts will still change size and shape in response to health, age and other factors. For example, breasts will still sag after pregnancy, weight gain, or from the natural effects of gravity. Perhaps the most surprising and important thing to understand about augmentation is that it is not a "one shot deal". You do not go to the clinic, have the implants put in, heal up and get on with your life. Implants need constant testing, replacement, and checkups. Implants may add complications to pregnancy, and demand modifications to many other medical procedures like mammograms. Your new breasts will need constant attention while you have them. In order to qualify for this procedure you must be 18 years of age for saline implants and 22 years old for silicone implants. There are different breast implant materials that should be discussed and evaluated with a plastic surgeon, to understand which type could best suits your body (not only your breast). Do not expect to look exactly the same as a model, actress or someone other image you may have fixated on in advance. Mammoplasty is about physical proportions and any surgical procedure should be suited for your natural body shape, to avoid any plastic or fake effect. It is best to discuss with a surgeon what he suggests is realistic, rather than choose an impossible shape, just to be like someone else.

TL;DR in English: Understand the effects of breast augmentation. Acknowledge that even with surgery, nature still plays a roll. Be prepared for regular, post-surgical appointments. Meet eligibility requirements. Discuss suitable implants. Be realistic regarding your expectations.

Ask yourself what you need to start working towards your goal, doing online research to get ideas. Draw up a list and get the items as soon as you can so you can get started.  If you are looking to exercise more, for example, make sure you chart a good running path. If you want to learn a programming language, equip your desk with an instructional book and a quality computer. You can even make this the very first step in your goal, which will help you feel like you’re already working towards it. Don’t overwhelm yourself by trying to change everything at once. Start with your first, most manageable goal and get into a steady routine before adding more into the mix. Starting small lets you work your way up to the greatest challenges. Think about learning a language: you start with basic vocabulary before you try to read a novel. You’ll likely hit a few challenging moments in pursuit of your goals. Going through them with someone you trust, like a friend or family member, can give you strength, motivation, and even make it fun.  You can also find a shared interest group, either local or online, especially if you’re learning a specific skill or working toward a more common goal. You can speak and practice with others who understand your ambitions and may be able to help find creative solutions. For some goals, you might want a partner who can challenge you and push you to be your best. If you want a running buddy, find someone who can make it just a block or two farther than you. If you want a study buddy for a new subject, ask a peer who has taken a related course before. Any major goal will feel daunting at first. Instead of getting overwhelmed by everything you have to do, take it one step at a time. Focus on completing the first item on your schedule without worrying about the next one, then move on once you’ve completed it. If you start feeling overwhelmed, break your goals down even further. If you found a course you want to try, sign up for the class. If you found a professional with whom you want to work,...

TL;DR in English: Gather any supplies you need to get started. Start with a simple, consistent goal. Find a partner in crime to keep you motivated. Work through your action plan, one thing at a time. Reward yourself for hitting goals along the way.

If you are calling Scotland from any country other than Scotland, then you will need to enter a nation-specific "exit code" before you dial the Scottish number. The two most common exit codes are 00 and 011. Run a web search for "[your country] exit code" to find the proper digits. The exit code is also known as the international access code or IDD (International Direct Dialing) code. You will need it to dial out of your country, regardless of which other country you are calling.  011 is the exit code for the United States, Canada, and some Caribbean island countries: e.g. the Bahamas, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. 00 is the exit code for most nations in Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. 0011 is the exit code for Australia. Some countries have unique exit codes. The Russian Federation, for instance, is 8 (pause) 10. The exit code for calling from Brazil depends upon which telecom company you are using. This is the country code for the United Kingdom. Scotland is a part of the United Kingdom, which also includes England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Thus, you can use the same country code to call any of these countries. Find the local code for the city or region that you are trying to call. Most codes comprise 2-5 digits. Learn the codes for major cities:  1224 for Aberdeen 1382 for Dundee 131 for Edinburgh 141 for Glasgow This may range from 5 to 7 digits. The local area code combined with the telephone number usually totals 10 digits, although numbers from some areas may total up to 9 digits. If you don't know the person's telephone number, try looking them up on the British Telecom Directory. Your string of digits should include, in this order: the exit code for the country you're calling from, 44, the local area code, and the local telephone number. The total string may range from 12 to 17 digits, depending on where you are calling from and where you are calling to.  To call Glasgow, Scotland from the US: 011 – 44 – 141 – xxx – xxxx. To call Langholm, Scotland from the US: 011 – 44 – 13873 – xxxxx.

TL;DR in English: Dial the appropriate exit code. Dial 44 after the exit code. Dial the relevant area code or city code. Dial the local telephone number. Add all of the codes together.

Mix 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 1 cup of water. Start with a small dose of vinegar and work your way up until you find what works for your hair. After shampooing, rinse your hair with the vinegar mixture.  Massage the mixture into your scalp and let it sit for a few minutes for the best results.  Try doing this once or twice a week to keep your hair healthy.  Apple cider vinegar can also help balance your hair's pH as well as treat dandruff and an itchy scalp. Crack an egg in a bowl and mix it with a little cool water. Massage it into your scalp and let it sit for around 20 minutes before rinsing.  Eggs contain lots of protein and fat making them natural moisturizers. For especially brittle hair, use more egg yolk than white for your rinse. You can do an egg rinse about once a month.  Make sure you rinse with cool water, otherwise you'll cook the egg into your hair. For added protection against frizzy hair and split ends, make a hair mask. Mix one avocado with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and make a paste. Apply the mixture to your hair and let it sit for about 30 minutes before you shampoo and condition your hair.  You can try adding other ingredients to the mask for more moisturizing power. Add 1-2 tablespoons of eggs, sour cream, or even mayonnaise. Play around with the combinations and find what works best for you.  Another method is using a combination of bananas and honey. Take one ripe banana, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of honey and blend them together. As with the avocado, work it into your hair and let it sit for half an hour before washing. Warm up as much coconut oil as you need to cover your scalp. Massage the warm oil into your hair and let it sit anywhere between 20 and 40 minutes. The coconut oil will condition your hair and scalp, and may reduce frizzy hair. You can also try mixing a small amount of coconut oil in with your shampoo when you wash your hair. You only need to use about 1 teaspoon of oil. If your hair is thin, use a little less. Coconut and lime...
