Winter is a great time for wearing longer skirts. They provide more warmth than shorter skirts, and they can still be fashionable. You can even go for an ankle-length skirt. Pick out a skirt that extends somewhere between your mid-calf and the top of your foot, a few inches above your ankle. Longer skirts will keep you warmer, but a skirt that’s too long will drag on the ground, getting wet and muddy. Shorter skirts are not going to provide much warmth. However, if you choose a fabric like wool, you are going to get a bit more warmth out of them. Denim, suede, and velvet can also offer more warmth. After that, you'll just need to pair them with something warm, such as leggings and a sweater. A knee-length skirt offers a bit of warmth (though not as much as a full-length skirt). In addition, you can wear it in a variety of situations.Knee-length skirts can be made to look professional, trendy, or flirty, depending on how you accessorize them. For instance, a pencil skirt paired with a button-up shirt and suit jacket can look professional, while a pencil skirt paired with a fancy top can serve for an evening out. Use a mini-skirt to create a chic look. Mini-skirts in winter seem to defy common sense. As a result, wearing one gives your style an edgy twist. Matching the skirt with suitable leg coverings will keep you both warm and fashionable. For instance, try a mini-skirt with patterned leggings and an oversized sweater. This advice may sound a little odd. However, layering skirts can provide you with extra warmth and look fashionable at the same time. Try a longer flowing skirt under a slightly shorter (less flowing) skirt, for instance, and it can be like having a petticoat on. Try a button-up dress with out any ruffles, and throw it over a ruffled skirt. Just button a few buttons at the top of the dress.

TL;DR in English: Try a long skirt. Choose skirts made with warm fabric. Choose a knee-length skirt for flexibility. Subvert expectations with a mini skirt. Double up on skirts.

With so many styling products available, there are plenty of options to help enhance your natural curl while fighting off unwanted frizz.  Products like gels, mousses, and curl-enhancing creams all contain ingredients called polymers, which coat the hair and “lock” your curl or wave into place. If your hair is fine and wavy then mousses are your best choice since they don't weigh hair down. If your hair is coarse and curly, gel or cream is recommended. Most hair sprays and mousses have a high alcohol content, which can cause the cuticle to swell up. Alcohol can also dry out your hair, making it look poofy and eventually leading to breakage. Try using alcohol-free products that work to reduce frizz, such as creams and serums. If your hair is damaged from dye, or just naturally dry, a boar-bristle brush can help to reduce frizz. This type of brush helps to gather the natural oils from your scalp and distribute them throughout your hair. It may seem counterintuitive, but wrapping flyaway strands around a curling iron can help set them in place and smooth out your hair. Be sure to completely dry your hair first and use the curling iron sparingly. Keep it on a low heat setting and don't hold the strands for very long. Whenever you use heat, you risk causing damage to your hair. Always apply a heat-protectant product first. A hot oil treatment is a great way to condition and strengthen your hair. This is a good idea for all hair types, so try it out with your friends. Choose a treatment with jojoba oil to help strengthen the cuticle and further prevent frizz. Warm up the oil then massage it into your hair and scalp.  If desired, you can put a shower cap over your hair and let the oil soak in for 30 minutes before washing it out. You can help the oil penetrate deeper into the hair shaft by applying heat with a hair dryer.

TL;DR in English: Let your natural shape work for you. Switch to alcohol-free products. Opt for a boar-bristle brush. Tame flyaways with a curling iron. Do a weekly hot oil treatment.

Whether you plan weeks in advance or the night before class, you should always have a schedule prepared for class time. Include several basic elements in each lesson plan, such as an opening warm-up, a short review session, and the main assignment.  Use an opening warm-up or ritual to help the students focus their attention and warm up, such as a few minutes of quiet contour drawing or sketching. Include a short review session at the beginning of each lesson to remind students of what they’ve learned already. During this time, ask students if they have any questions about previous lessons or techniques. The main assignment should take up the bulk of the class time. Start by introducing any new techniques that students will need to complete the assignment, then explain the assignment details before letting students begin working on it. Emphasize basic design principles, such as balance and composition, and the importance of having a foundational knowledge of art. If your students plan to attend college or enter the job market, they’ll benefit immensely from a background in art history or artistic skills.  Other important basic artistic skills include working with lines, shapes, colors, values, and textures. For example, your students will need a solid background in design principles for a college degree in graphic design, interior design, or visual communications.  They could also apply these skills in the workplace when designing a logo, making promotional brochures, or creating visually compelling emails. Whether you include some art history in every class period or dedicate a single class period to it, this side of art is crucial to creating a well-rounded class experience. To incorporate art history into your course, match an iconic art movement with the lessons you’ll be teaching. Summarize the style, its most popular artists, and its historical significance.  For example, you could introduce pop art with a lesson on color theory or portraiture.  You could pair a section on abstract art with a lesson on...

TL;DR in English: Plan out your lessons in advance to introduce new ideas and skills. Incorporate skills that students will use later in life. Ground your lessons by touching on some art history. Incorporate hands-on projects in each class. Assign homework each week. Plan field trips to introduce students to fine art and inspiration. Give encouraging feedback as well as 1-2 suggestions for improvement.

Moderate exercise is anything that makes you sweat after about 10 minutes and makes you breathe heavily, but doesn’t wind you. This can include walking, swimming, or jogging. You can split up your activity time or do it all at once, depending on your schedule.  Remember to drink water as you exercise to stay hydrated. You can lose weight faster by ramping up your moderate activity to 300 minutes per week.  While doing an exercise routine won’t necessarily boost your metabolism, it will help you lose weight.

TL;DR in English: Try to exercise moderately for at least 150 minutes per week.

While it seems like an easy solution if you're having trouble grasping food, never use a chopstick to impale food and bring it to your mouth. As this is not what chopsticks are designed for, food can easily slip off if you use chopsticks like this. It is also generally considered bad manners.

With your tape measure, measure the distance from the top of the bare wall to the top left and right corners of the item you are making a hole for. Then measure from the top corners of the item to its bottom corners. Write these measurements down, then bring your tape measure to the sheet of drywall to make the same measurements, marking each corner in pencil.  This process works for any hole you need to cut: holes for windows, doors, outlets, or light fixtures will all use the same measuring process. Use a ruler and pencil to draw the sides of your hole by connecting your corner marks directly on the sheet of drywall. This will give you an accurate line to follow while you’re cutting the hole. To cut a circular hole, measure from the edge of the drywall to the center of the circle that you need to cut. Use a compass tool to mark out your circle in pencil to the correct size of the hole. For a hole for an electrical outlet or light switch, insert a keyhole saw into one of the sides of the hole that you marked in pencil. Move the saw gently back and forth in the drywall, applying slight pressure as you move it along the line to cut one side. Remove the saw when you’ve finished one side and repeat this step for all 4 sides of the hole.  Use caution when working around a stud if the drywall is already hung in place over your outlet or light fixture. If you have a difficult time inserting the saw into the drywall for the first part of the cut, make a small slit with a utility knife first and then insert the keyhole saw into that before you start sawing. If you have a larger job, consider using an oscillating tool. Be sure to wear safety goggles and gloves when you’re using a saw. For larger holes to fit around doors or windows, use a drywall saw to make your cuts. Start sawing at an edge of the drywall if your hole is at the edge and has only 3 sides. Move the saw back and forth, applying gentle pressure to cut through the drywall along your marked lines.  If your hole is in the middle of the drywall sheet,...

TL;DR in English: Measure and mark each corner of a square hole. Use a keyhole saw to cut an outlet-sized hole. Use a drywall saw for a window or door hole. Tap the piece in the middle of the hole lightly with a hammer to remove it. Smooth the edges of the hole with a rasp.

Upholstery can be made of many different materials or blends, and these have different cleaning requirements. Whether you can spot clean or deep clean will depend on the material. Every upholstery tag should have a letter code on it that indicates how to clean the material, and they mean:   W for water: use water-based cleaning solutions, such as soap and water. Fabrics with this tag are often made from materials like polyester, nylon, acetate, and olefin.   S for solvent: clean your upholstery with a solvent-based solution that doesn’t contain water, such as dry cleaning solution. Most upholstery with this code is made from natural fibers like cotton and denim, rayon, linen, silk and wool, velour, and damask.   SW: use solvent- and/or water-based cleaning solutions.  X: use neither solvent- nor water-based cleaning solutions; only clean it with vacuuming and light brushing to remove dirt and soil. Check to see if the cushions have removable and washable covers. If the covers are removable, wash them according to the type of material. Otherwise, clean the cushions following the same steps as the rest of the upholstery. With a spoon or spatula, pick up large food particles, solid spills, rocks or dirt, and any other large debris that has accumulated on your furniture. Use the upholstery attachment or soft brush to remove dirt and dust from the upholstery and both sides of the cushions. Work from left to right, and top to bottom in short, overlapping strokes. Use a long, thin attachment to vacuum dirt and debris from corners and crevices. Remove stubborn pet hair with a clothing brush or pet hair remover if necessary.

TL;DR in English: Check your upholstery tag. Remove the cushions. Remove large debris. Vacuum the furniture and cushions.

Purchase a shampoo and conditioner formulated for color-treated hair to help the color from fading so quickly. Try to go a few days between shampoos, since your hair color will fade slightly with every wash. Use cold water when shampooing, which is easier on color-treated hair. Try out dry shampoo, which can help you prolong the time between washings. These products, which you can pick up at beauty supply stores, can help you keep your newly-dyed locks looking vibrant. Pick up one or two brands and give them a try. There are easy-to-apply semi-permanent dye products you can look into to help preserve your color, as well. Bleaching and dyeing chemicals can be tough on hair. You may experience damage and breakage after going through the process. This is normal! To combat this, deep-condition at least once per week to restore much needed nutrients and moisture. Apply a rich and moisturizing hair mask every couple of weeks, as well. Heat styling tools can fade your hair color. Whenever possible, forego the blow dryer and let your hair air-dry. Use flat irons and curling irons as minimally as possible. When you do use them, apply a protective heat serum to your hair before proceeding. Use the lowest heat setting your styling tools will allow.

TL;DR in English: Keep shampooing to a minimum. Try a color-refreshing shampoo product. Deep-condition your hair weekly. Avoid heat styling as much as possible.

Decide what color you want to dye your hair. Cover your skin, clothing, and counter. Mix 1 part bleach with 2 parts 20 volume developer. Apply a thin layer of bleach to your hair, then wait 15 minutes. Apply more bleach and wait another 30 minutes. Wash the bleach out with cool water and shampoo.

You can either check the phone book, use a search engine with keywords like "string instruments shop near me," or ask fellow musicians or your teacher for advice, but try to find some local music shops that you can visit easily. If you live in a very rural area or a small town where there are few or no shops like this at all, it may seem tempting to get online to do your shopping, but ideally you will want to see and test any instrument you want to purchase first. Make sure that the shop you go to has a good selection of cellos in various price ranges, both for students and professionals, present to try out. Take your time and visit multiple stores if you can. There's nothing wrong with going to several locations to price compare and make sure there's not some great, undiscovered cello just around the corner. Particularly for such a large investment, you don't want to rush into a decision. Find out what kinds of policies they have--can you rent-to-own? If you change your mind, do they have a trade-in policy in place? Do they allow you to finance or make payment plans? If so, find out additional details about these policies. Although you might feel like this is a decision you can make on your own, take your teacher or another trusted expert with you to the store; you will want them to examine the cellos with you, to listen to you play them, and to try them as well, so that you can be sure to pick a good cello. There may be things you will miss that they won't. Although most students are not aware of the practice, it is traditional within the industry that stores often give teachers a commission based on sales. This matters to you because the commission will almost assuredly be based on the amount of money the instrument costs. It could affect the advice that your teacher might give you for selecting a store or a particular brand.  Although there is nothing inherently unethical or illegal about this practice, you still deserve to know exactly what your money is paying for. Especially if you are hurting for...

TL;DR in English: Locate a string instrument shop. Visit multiple places. Don't go alone. Beware of commission fees. Find out the prices. Try to get a discount. Purchase additional supplies.

Don’t try to ask him to hang out in a cute way that may send the wrong message. Be direct with what you want to do while you hang out and don’t act desperate or needy since this could be read the wrong way. Ask him something like “Do you want to come with me to get lunch?” or “Would you like to grab a coffee on Thursday?” This way he knows what you want to do and you’re not flirting with him. If you want to stay casual, talk to a group of friends to do a large event. This will help you ease into hanging out together as friends. If he’s shy, he may be more open to hanging out with a group rather than have a one-on-one experience.  Use a group text or message to easily communicate with one another and figure out everyone’s schedule. Talk to the guy you want to hang out with in person as well as through the group chat. Have a night where you play board games or go out to dinner all together. This allows you to have fun and talk. Look for coffee shops or public events taking place in your area using Facebook. If this is your first time hanging out with him, find a place where you’ll be able to hold a conversation and get to know each other better.   Avoid seeing a movie since it’s not a place where you can talk. Check with your local museums to see if they offer free days or have any specials. Hanging out at your home may send the wrong message if you’re only looking to be friends. If the guy still thinks that he’s on a date, let him know in a polite way that won’t hurt his feelings. Be direct with him so he understands completely. Use phrases like “I’m just looking to be friends” or “I’m not looking for anyone to date right now” so he doesn’t feel upset.

TL;DR in English: Use casual, non-flirty language while asking him to hang out. Invite mutual friends if you don’t want to send the wrong message. Do something casual in a public place. Tell him that you don’t want it to be a date if he doesn’t get the hint.

Before you go to bed, spend time thinking about your crush. You can daydream about the kind of scenario you'd like to dream about, such as a romantic walk on the beach or a fun date with dinner and a movie. Just keep them firmly planted in your head, conjuring up the clearest mental picture you can imagine of them. This will help them be more present in your head and seem more realistic, which can influence the way they appear in your dream. When you are getting ready for bed, say your crush's name out loud. Even make it into a statement, such as: "I will dream about ____." You can even be more specific, using phrases such as: "I want to dream about going on a date with ____." or "I will dream about walking on the beach with ____." The firmer you are with your intentions, the more likely you are to dream about your crush. Now that you've thought about them for a little while and laid out what you want to happen in the dream, you can solidify the entire routine by looking at a picture of your crush. This will give you an even more exact picture of them in your head as you fall asleep. It will also give you something to keep your mind focused on while you are falling asleep. With their picture fresh in your mind and dream intentions laid out, make sure you think about them while you are falling asleep. You want their face and their name to be the last thing you think about before you fall asleep. This concentrates them in your subconscious mind and will help encourage your dreaming mind to recall their face and the scenario you laid out before you fell asleep. When you are first trying to control your dreams, you need to make sure that your crush is the main focus of your thoughts before bed. The daydreaming, the pictures, and the verbalized intentions lead up to your thoughts as you fall asleep. If you have already cleared your mind of any problems or issues you've dealt with throughout the day, then your mind will be more focused on your crush. This will fill your conscious and unconscious mind with him and...

TL;DR in English: Think about them. Say their name aloud. Look at a picture. Fall asleep. Practice.

This will determine whether or not you need to bleach it first. If you are going for a darker shade than your own, you do not need to bleach your hair and can go right on to the dyeing portion. If you are going a lighter shade, however, you will need to bleach first.  If you have light hair and are dyeing it darker, click here to continue. If your hair is blonde and you are dyeing it a cool color, like purple or blue, it may be a good idea to tone your hair first. Click here to learn more. Put on an old shirt you won't mind staining, then cover your shoulders with an old towel. Lay down some newspaper across your counter. If you want to, you can pull on a pair of plastic dyeing gloves as well. The bleach will be coming into contact with your scalp anyway, so the gloves are not absolutely necessary. Get a packet of hair bleach and 20 volume developer. Measure out 1 part bleach and 2 parts 20 volume developer. Mix the two together in a non-metal bowl with a non-metal spoon.  Prepare enough bleach to saturate your hair. Some bleach kits come with a little scoop. Use that to measure the bleach and developer. If you're wearing gloves, you can apply the bleach with your hands. Alternatively, use a tinting brush. Don't worry about being too meticulous here. Simply apply a light, even coat of bleach, then wait 15 minutes. The goal is to cover as much of your hair as quickly as possible.  This initial coat of bleach will ensure that your hair lightens evenly. Cover your hair with a plastic shower cap to protect your surroundings. If you have very light hair, you may only need to wait 5 to 10 minutes. Once you notice your hair starting to lighten, you're ready for the second coat of bleach. Do not rinse the bleach out. Simply take the shower cap off (if you put it on earlier), and apply a thick, generous coat of bleach. Use enough so that you can't see a single strand of hair sticking out of the bleach. Once you have it in, wait up to 30 minutes for the bleach to process.  Again, cover your hair with a plastic shower...

Avoid looking down at your board. You might lose balance or cause the front of your board to dip and throw you into the water. Avoid turning the actual board to steer as you’ll likely fall. Applying pressure to your toes (the front edge of the board) and your heels (the back edge of the board) will cause your board to carve through the water and turn. If you catch yourself raising the handle or holding it up to your chest, steadily move it back down. Holding the handle high up when you’re wakeboarding may cause you to fall. Falling into the water on a wakeboard can be painful, but it’s important not to panic. Once the driver has turned the boat around, signal to them that you’re OK. If you want to try again, wait for the driver to put the boat in neutral and then grab hold of the tow rope handle. Get back into starting position and signal to the driver that you’re ready to start.

TL;DR in English: Look straight ahead. Lean into your heels and toes to steer your board. Keep the tow rope handle in line with your hip. Wait for the boat driver to retrieve you if you fall.

If you're familiar with common phishing attempts, you'll be less likely to fall for them. University and government cybercrime or information security websites are good sources of information.  For example, the Berkeley Department of Information Security and Policy has an archive of phishing messages available at https://security.berkeley.edu/resources/phishing/phishing-examples-archive. You can also find news and information at https://www.antiphishing.org/, the official website of the Anti-Phishing Working Group. A legitimate email typically will have a specific subject line that gives you a basic understanding of what the email will say. Phishing emails, on the other hand, use vague phrases such as "Urgent Reminder" or "Your Account at Risk" to alarm you.  Phishing email subject lines may also start with the abbreviation "Re:" to make you think the email is a response to an email you've sent. However, if you look at the email thread you can clearly see that there are no other emails. The subject line also may use special characters, emojis, or extra spaces. These don't serve any real purpose other than to draw your attention to the email by making the subject line look different from others in your inbox. Particularly if an email comes from a business, government agency, or other organization, the sender typically proofreads carefully before sending it. Obvious spelling and grammatical errors are a red flag that the email may not be legitimate. Also pay attention to the way language is used. Phishing emails frequently use words incorrectly or include awkward turns of phrase that no one would actually say. Scammers typically try to make the email address a phishing email is sent from look official or legitimate if you just glance at it. However, upon closer inspection, you'll note that something is amiss.  Instead of ending in ".com," as it should, the email address may end differently. They may include "com" in the domain to fool you. For example, you might get a phishing email from "airbnbcom.work"...

TL;DR in English: Read information on the latest phishing attempts. Check if the subject line is vague or oddly formatted. Look for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. Examine email addresses carefully. Treat "urgent" requests with suspicion. Recognize improper use of copyright or trademark notices.

If striking up conversations with people you don't know tends to cause you a lot of anxiety, try to remember that you are not alone. A lot of people get nervous in social situations, but that doesn't mean that they avoid them altogether!  The only way to get past your anxiety is to keep putting yourself in new situations that challenge you. Keep in mind that no one else knows that you're not confident. If you swallow your fears and pretend to be confident, no one will have any idea that you were anxious in the first place. If you will be attending an organized social gathering, try to find out who will be there ahead of time. The more you know about the other guests, the better prepared you will be to converse with them.  If it seems appropriate, you could research the invitees to a corporate event online and read about their recent projects. If you're attending a dinner party at a friend's house, ask her about the other people who'll be there. If you can't find any specific information on the people you're likely to meet, think about what they are likely to be interested or involved in.Use this information to think about questions you might ask them to break the ice. For example, if you are attending a social event at you university, you could ask people to tell you about their most interesting class. If you're worried about not having anything to say to someone, one of the best things you can do is to read the news and be informed about current events. If you know what's going on in the world and in your local community, you'll always have something to talk about, even if it's something as mundane as the storm you're expecting next week. Avoid getting political with people you don't know. Some people don't want to talk about sensitive subjects, while others might be ready to get into a heated debate. This may sound easier said than done, but you really just need to be passionate about something in order to have a great conversation about it. Whether you're an avid world traveler or a movie buff, chances are...

TL;DR in English: Stay engaged. Do your research. Stay current. Be interesting. Try the slow talk technique.

Before you drive, take the time to adjust the driver’s seat to make sure that your feet reach the pedals comfortably. Sit up straight and make sure that you have one heel on the floor and the the ball of your other foot pressing against the pedals. Be sure that you feel comfortable with the positioning of the seat to ensure that you drive confidently. Make sure that your knees are not excessively bent when you are sitting up straight, which can affect your ability to properly operate the foot pedals while driving. It is crucial that you adjust your rear-view mirrors before driving. Look at the center mirror and adjust it so that you can see the entire rear-view window from the driver’s seat. Adjust each side mirror so that you can just barely see the car when you lean in the mirror’s direction. Check the settings of your mirrors before driving by sitting in your parked car and observing how passing cars appear in your mirrors. Turn off your phone or put it on silent to avoid having calls, texts, or alerts startle you. Avoid driving with anyone who might distract or upset you. Leave your radio or iPod off to keep a clear head on the road. Adjust the temperature settings in the car before you start driving. If the heat or air conditioning run too high while you drive, they may take your focus away from the road. Avoid playing with climate settings while you drive to avoid a possible accident.

TL;DR in English: Position your seat. Adjust the rear-view mirrors. Remove distractions. Set the temperature.

To help make sure you have time to do all of your work outside of school, make sure you have time set aside every day to do homework. It needs to be long enough so that you can get all of your work done, and maybe even have your parents check it for mistakes.  During your homework time, make sure you don’t have any distractions. Turn off the TV, video game, cell phone, anything that will take your attention away from your homework. This can also mean your parents, siblings, or pets, really anything that might distract you from working. If you aren’t paying attention, that makes it more likely you’ll do something wrong. One thing that will really help is to make sure this homework time happens at the same time every day. This will help you get into a rhythm of doing your work at the same time, so you’ll always know when you should be doing homework. Don’t forget to think about other activities when you plan your homework time. It’s okay to do other things like soccer practice, dance lessons, or even playdates. Just remember that you need to make sure you have time to do school work in addition to those things. Your teacher will probably give you homework, assignments you need to do after school. The goal of these assignments is to help you learn the material, so making sure it gets done before school will help you learn and get better grades.  You’ll probably get lots of different assignments covering different subjects. When you get home, it is a good idea to list all of your assignments, and think about how much time you need to spend on them and the order you should do them. Along with doing worksheets and reading books, this can mean other things, such as making time to practice an instrument if you are in the band. Just because you don’t have something to turn in doesn’t mean it isn’t important to get done. When your teacher tells you that you will have a test or quiz, make sure you prepare. Read your notes, any books you have been given. The goal of tests and quizzes is to see how well you understand the...

The Buddhist teachings include the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment.  Attend a Buddhist temple and improve your mediation technique.  Think carefully about Buddhist teachings and understand how they relate to your everyday experience. Ordination within the Buddhist community is a challenging endeavor, and the vows are taken for life.  If you’ve only read a few books on Buddhism and have a vague understanding of its teachings, you should not become ordained. After learning a bit about Buddhism, dive deeper with a learned Buddhist.  In Buddhist tradition, it is important to have a teacher or guide to help you realize and understand the truths contained within Buddhist practice and law.  Your spiritual guide will likely be another monk or nun, and they must be someone who can grant permission to ordain you. Taking refuge refers to the act of formally professing before a member or members of the Buddhist clergy to place your faith in the Buddha, the Sangha (the Buddhist community), and the Dharma.  Five additional vows you must take include include commitments to remain free of lying, intoxication, stealing, inappropriate sexual behavior, and harming other living things. Going on spiritual retreats within the Buddhist community will give you a flavor of what life is like for a nun or monk.  Talk to the nuns or monks you go on the retreat with, and begin practicing celibacy.  You should also adopt the monk’s diet of vegetarianism during this time. If you travel to Asia, you might be able to partake in a part-time ordination program where you can live as a monk or nun for a few days or weeks during the year. If you are ordained outside the Buddhist community where you intend to stay, you will be taken on as a guest monk at the monastery or convent.  The monastic community will give you advice on Buddhist practice and evaluate your understanding of Buddhism.  After about two to three months, your monastery or nunnery will decide to accept you. Attain permission from...

TL;DR in English: Familiarize yourself with Buddhist teachings and practice. Have a spiritual mentor. Take refuge and vows. Go on retreats. Join a monastic community. Undergo the ordination ceremony. Contribute to the religious community.

Act the part by investing in clothing that makes you feel like a grown-up. Trade in your band shirts for collared button downs, go for a nice blazer instead of a denim jacket, and invest in a nice pair of shoes.  Go shopping with an adult and ask for their opinion on your selections. Look for clothing that is high quality and well made. Fast fashion, or trendy styles may look good at the moment, but it's a smarter move to invest in pieces that will last you longer than a few weeks.  Put some effort into your appearance by doing your hair, making sure your clothes are clean, and putting cologne or perfume on. Messy living spaces can make you feel like you are living in a college dorm room, or a kid’s room. Clean up the sink full of dirty dishes or the piles of laundry lying around your room or apartment. Reduce clutter by re-organizing your space to be more functional. Focus on presenting a clean, organized living space. Look at How to Organize Your Room and How to Clean Your House for tips and tricks for keeping your space clean. A mentor is someone who gives help and advice to a less experienced person. A good mentor will help you build your self-confidence and self-worth. They will teach you new skills or help you improve the skills you already have, and act as a role model or someone you can look up to.  Reach out to your guidance counselor at school, or to your community leaders. You can also look for a mentor in a family member or a close family friend. Look at programs like the Boys and Girls Club, which connects young people to role models and mentors in their community. This could be cooking, driving, or even crocheting. Focus on building your self-confidence by learning more about a skill or activity that interests you.  Obtaining your driver's license is a big step to becoming more responsible and independent. You no longer have to depend on someone else, such as your parents, to drive you around or adhere to someone else’s schedule when you need to get to a date or an important meeting.  Even if...

TL;DR in English: Dress like an adult. Keep your living area clean and tidy. Find a mentor. Learn a new skill. Take control of your finances.

Start by providing the passage you are studying in full. Include the literal translation of the passage and the context of the passage. Specify where it appears in the Bible. You can also mention the literary genre, such as whether the passage is a hymn or a parable. Your thesis statement will act as a guide for the exegesis. It should sum up your key points or ideas in one sentence. Place the thesis statement at the end of the introduction section. For example, you may have a thesis statement like, “In this Bible passage, one learns about the value of a good foundation for inner and outer growth.” Do a close reading of the passage, focusing on the grammar and syntax. You can also discuss the language and sentence structure in the passage. Note the literary genre of the passage and how this affects the meaning of the passage. For example, if you were writing about Matthew 13:1-8, you may discuss the language and sentence structure of the parable. You may also talk about how the passage uses nature as a metaphor for personal growth. Think about the key themes and ideas in the passage. Consider how the passage reflects common teachings in the Bible. Discuss the theological significance of the passage. Ask yourself, “How can I apply this passage to my life?” “What does this passage say about my faith?” You can also discuss the broader context of the passage, including its historical or social significance. Provide context around how the passage has been interpreted by others, such as theological scholars and thinkers. Use direct quotes from your research in the paper to strengthen your argument. Lean on reputable sources to help make your paper stronger. Include all the proper citations for the sources in the paper. If you are writing the exegesis for a class, ask the instructor which citation style they prefer and use it in your essay. Conclude the paper by rephrasing your thesis statement. Include any closing remarks about the passage you'd like to include. Reflect on the passage as a whole. Do not add any new...

TL;DR in English: Introduce the passage and its context. Include a thesis statement. Make verse by verse comments on the passage. Interpret the passage as a whole. Integrate quotes from your sources. Wrap up the essay with final statements. Create a bibliography of sources.

While your oven is preheating, ready your pan. For this method you will need a baking sheet that has many small holes or slots and a lip that will keep all of the beans in the pan. These pans can be found at any kitchen supply store. If you don’t want to buy a new pan but happen to have an old baking sheet with a lip lying around, you can actually make your own roasting sheet. Take your pan and use a ⅛ inch drill bit to carefully drill holes into the sheet. The holes should be ½ inch away from each other and small enough that none of the beans will fall through them. Pour the beans onto the sheet so that they lie in one layer over the entire pan. The beans should be close together but should not be overlapping. Once the oven is preheated, place the baking sheet with the beans onto the middle rack of the oven. Listening for a cracking or popping noise. This is the water contained in the beans evaporating. The popping noise signifies that the beans are roasting and darkening. Stir them around every few minutes to help them develop an even roast.

TL;DR in English: Preheat your oven to 450 °F (232 °C). Lay the beans out on the pan. Roast the beans for 15 to 20 minutes.

The control box is the small box that has volume controls, headset, and microphone ports. Plug each cord attached to the headset into its matching labeled port on the box.  If your headset has only one attached cord, plug it into the 1/8" jack on the control box. Your headset comes with an extender cord. If you need more slack, plug the headset connector(s) into the extender cord, then plug the extender cord into the control box. If your control box has a USB cord attached, plug it into an available USB port. If it has two 1/8″ connectors, plug the headphone connector into the speaker port on the PC, and the microphone connector into the microphone port. If you don’t have a USB connector and are using a laptop that doesn’t have separate microphone and headphones ports, see Connecting to a Mobile Device.

Make a chain stitch to move onto the next round.

Make a magic ring Create ten single crochets Chain one and work two single crochets into each stitch. Chain one and increase every other single crochet. Form the fourth round. Add more decreases for the fifth round. Decrease again for the sixth round. Decrease again for the seventh round. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Get the clean shower drain body and place it into the drain. Use your hands to twist the drain body clockwise and tighten it as much as you can. When you can’t screw the drain body any more, use a hammer and a screwdriver again to further twist the drain body into place. Fitting the drain body causes the caulk to spread slightly, so it’s important to remove this excess caulk before it dries. Get 2-3 sheets of regular kitchen paper towels and use these to remove any excess caulk. It’s best to wipe around the whole opening of the shower drain with the paper towels to ensure that you don’t miss any caulk that has oozed out. You can also use an old rag to wipe away the excess caulk. Push the strainer back onto the drain body and make sure that it sits flat. You may need to hit it lightly with a hammer to ensure that it’s in place. When the strainer is in the right place, use a screwdriver to put the screws back in. Make sure that you tighten the screws well. It’s important for the new caulk to cure and set properly before you use the shower again, as otherwise, this might damage the caulk. Read the label of the caulk carefully to check how long your specific product takes to dry.

TL;DR in English: Screw the drain body back on. Wipe the caulk away off the edges with a paper towel. Screw the shower strainer back on to the drain body. Let the new caulk cure for approximately 24 hours.

Some substances, after being ingested, can cause a lot of damage if vomited back up. If you know your dog swallowed one of the following substances, do not induce vomiting:  Bleach Drain cleaner Petroleum-containing substance, such as gasoline Getting a dog to vomit can be dangerous if the dog is extremely sick or unresponsive. If your dog is showing signs of severe poisoning, do not induce vomiting. Take your dog to your vet right away. Look for the following signs indicating severe poisoning:  Difficulty breathing Looking depressed Having seizures Slow heart rate Unconsciousness If possible, get your dog to vomit within about two hours after it has ingested something toxic. After two hours, the toxin will have moved into the intestines, making induction of vomiting no longer effective.

TL;DR in English: Research which substances should not be vomited up. Look for signs of serious poisoning. Induce vomiting promptly.

Once you are off the board, you will need to start creating momentum to start rotating backwards. Push your arms further back behind your head. This will arch your back, opening up your chest and pointing it towards the ceiling. This movement will start to rotate the body. If you focus carefully on what is in front of you, you should notice you are spinning because your view will be changing. As you ascend upwards to face the ceiling, bring your knees towards your chest. Keep your toes pointed and your back straight. If you keep proper form, you are more likely to execute the reverse dive. A common misconception about the tuck position is that your arms should be hugging your knees. In fact, your arms should be pulled in at the sides of your body. Place your hands over the mid-part of your shins. Allow the momentum of the turn to move you backwards. When your feet are above and you pointing toward the ceiling, let go of your shins. Begin to extend your legs upwards to point vertically. After you let go of your shins, circle your arms out over your head to hug your ears. Bring your hands together and clasp them. Keep your arms straight and tight with your head planted firmly between them.  “Circling out” your arms keeps them in balance and prevents the movement of your arms from disturbing your body position. Your arms should be in line with your body when you enter the water. Keep your head still but focus your eyes on the direction you are moving. When you see the surface of the water clearly, prepare to dive in. Close your eyes and keep your muscles tight and arms and legs fully extended as you enter.

TL;DR in English: Extend your arms past your ears as you move into the air. Bring your knees to your chest as you jump. Place your hands on your shins as you do the tuck. Extend your legs above you vertically. Raise your arms and clasp your hands. Look at the water and dive in.

and disinfect the cage once a week. To thoroughly clean the cage, remove all the bedding and make a solution of bleach and water. Spray the solution inside the cage and wipe it down. Then rinse the cage with water multiple times to remove the bleach residue and let it air-dry completely before putting fresh bedding in.  You don’t have to disinfect the cage unless your animals are dealing with an illness, such as ringworm. Bleach may cause irritation to your guinea pig’s feet, eyes, and respiratory tracts. Try using      Check the guinea pig's cage throughout the day and droppings or soiled patches if you see them. Do this frequently to keep your guinea pig clean and the cage smelling fresh.  Rinse the food dishes and waterers throughout the day too. If you’re using fleece bedding, try spot-cleaning with a hand broom you only use in the cage. If your guinea pig's hutch is set on dirt, consider moving to either grass or pavement, especially during colder months. If you let your guinea pig run around outside in an enclosure, choose a grassy space that doesn't have exposed dirt.

TL;DR in English: Clean Spot clean as needed. Keep the guinea pig's hutch or play area away from dirt.

. Form an adjustable ring with your yarn, more commonly referred to as a "magic ring." At the end of the ring, make one chain stitch to secure the ring in place. . Work ten single crochets into the center of the magic ring. Join the final single crochet with the top of the first single crochet with a slip stitch.  If necessary, tug on the ends of the magic ring to close it into a tight circle. This completes the first round. Make one chain stitch to move onto the next round. Make two single crochets into each stitch of the previous round, joining the last and first at the top with another slip stitch.  This creates an increase, thereby enlarging your circle. You should have a total of 20 crochet stitches in this second round. After you finish this round, compare it to the size of the button. If you are on the right track, you should need to make another front round still to cover the front of the button. Make one chain stitch to move onto the next round. Single crochet once in the first stitch of the previous round, then single crochet twice in the next stitch. Continue all the way around the button, joining the first and last single crochets of this round with another slip stitch.  You should have 30 stitches in this round. By now, your button cover should be about the same size as your button. If it is slightly larger, that will work too, since the excess can wrap around the back of the button. Chain stitch once to move onto the next round. Single crochet once in the first five stitches of the previous round, then make a single crochet decrease over the next two stitches from the previous round. Repeat all the way around, joining the last and first single crochets with a slip stitch.  You should have 26 stitches in this round. The piece should begin to curl under into the shape of a bowl. Chain one to get into the next round. Single crochet once in each of the next two stitches. Single crochet decrease over the next two stitches after that. Continue all the way around, joining the last and first stitches...

Caramelize the onions in a slow cooker for a hands-off method.

Since you're using a liquid to clean the screen in this method, it's important to turn off the computer and unplug it from the outlet. The ideal solution is plain distilled water, which contains no chemicals and is gentle on the screen. If heavier cleaning is needed, a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and distilled water can also be effective.  Make sure you use plain white vinegar, not apple cider vinegar or any other kind. Distilled water is better than tap water because it's chemical-free. Manufacturers no longer recommend using any cleaners with alcohol, ammonia or any strong solvents on LCD screens. This is the type of spray bottle that you push from the top to get a fine mist, similar to a perfume bottle. Pour some of the solution into the spray bottle and screw on the top. Don't use this to spray on the screen itself, however. A static-free, fiber-free cloth works best. Remember not to use regular cloth, since this could scratch the screen. Do not soak the cloth; you just want to get it moist, which is the purpose of using the atomizer bottle to wet it.   A wet cloth can drip or run when cleaning the screen and the solution can weep behind the bezel and permanently damage your screen. Try applying the solution to just one corner of the cloth at a time, to make sure you don't get it too wet. Rapid circular movements generally eliminate streaks. Apply a gentle and even pressure to the cloth. Use only enough pressure to keep the cloth in contact with the screen. Take care not to press your fingers into the cloth or screen, since applying too much force when cleaning the screen can permanently damage the LCD matrix and render your screen unusable.  Hold the screen toward the very top or very bottom to avoid re-smudging it as you work. You may need to pass over the screen multiple times before all the smudges have been removed. You may also need to re-dampen the cloth as you work, depending on how many passes over the screen you need to make.

TL;DR in English: Turn the computer off and unplug the power adapter and battery. Create a gentle cleaning solution. Put the solution in a small atomizer bottle. Apply a minimal amount of the solution to a microfiber cloth. Wipe the cloth against the screen in a circular motion.

If people in your life have made suggestions about your habits, take those suggestions into consideration. Remember that true change comes from the inside so also listen to your intuition and honor how you feel as well as feedback you have received from people in your life. You have to be committed to making change and building self-control in order to truly change your behaviors. Some examples might be smoking, eating, work habits, productivity, alcohol, controlling your temper, shopping or spending money, etc. We all have areas of our life that could use more discipline and self-control, so remember to be easy on yourself and take things slowly. Look at your list and choose one thing you want to work on. Changing habits takes time, and building self-control takes effort. Honor your energy and set realistic goals that are achievable.  Remember that you’re only in control of your own behavior while choosing. For instance, don’t choose something like “having a better relationship with my parents” since that requires effort from your parents as well. A goal such as “improve my communication habits with my parents” is better because it hinges on your behavior alone. Be realistic about what kind of changes you can make that will fit into your life, your time, and your ability. If you try to change everything at once, as ambitious as this may be, you can risk self-sabotaging your efforts and giving up. Educate yourself as much as you can about how others have built self-control in similar situations. Ask friends or loved ones who have made similar changes in their lives. Do an internet search about the specific thing you are trying to change. For example, if overeating is the behavior you have decided to change, find books about impulsive eating (or binge eating) and gather as many helpful strategies as you can about how to build self-control around eating. Start a journal just for eating, for example, and write down or keep track of as many strategies as you come across. This gives you more options to try to...

TL;DR in English: Make a list of the habits or behaviors you want to control. Choose the main behavior from the list you’d like to control. Research the behavior. Take an honest inventory of yourself. Set realistic goals. Mark your progress. Motivate yourself. Channel the energy into positive behaviors. Develop new hobbies. Build yourself up. Use your support system. Reward yourself. Learn when to seek help.

In some elevators, simply pressing your floor and holding it will do the trick. You have to hold the button all the way to your floor. When you get on the elevator, press the "Close Door" button. Often, this button will be two triangles pointing in towards each other. Continue holding the "Close Door" button as you push your floor. In some elevators, this combination will give you an express ride.  This combination often works on Otis, Desert, and Dover elevators. Note that sometimes the "Close Door" button is just a placebo for impatient riders, so this trick may not work. In some elevators, you can cancel floors that have already been pressed. Of course, if people see you do so, they will probably not be very happy. Or, they may press their floor button again.  The simplest method is to double press the button, which works in Mitsubishi Electric. In other brands, such as Fujitec, pressing it five times works. Another method is to hold the "Open Door" button while pressing the floor button twice. Some people suggest that you can use your foot to keep the door from opening. Simply put your foot on the middle of the elevator door, covering the edges of the door. In theory, the sole of your shoe will keep the door from opening on floors. If you're cozy with your building manager, you may be able to get the secret elevator code from him or her. However, you may need to promise to use it only for good.

TL;DR in English: Press and hold your floor. Use the "Close Door" button. Cancel other highlighted floors. Use your foot. Ask your building manager.

Oftentimes, asking your parents directly can be stressful. If your parents are often argumentative and shut down discussion, try writing a letter. You can state your case, explaining why you want a PlayStation. You should also state why you think you're responsible enough to have a game console.  Start the letter by directly stating what you want. Open with something like, "Dear Mom and Dad, I would really like a PlayStation for the living room." Proceed to explain why. It can be something like, "I work really hard at school and do a lot of extracurriculars. At the end of the day, after finishing my homework, I would like to have something I can use to relax."  Do you have anything else that can help you make your case? For example, maybe you have some money saved up. You can say something like, "I have saved up almost $100 from my birthday money and my allowance. I would be more than willing to put this money towards a PlayStation."  You should also think of any potential responses your parents may come up with and think of a counterargument. For example, maybe your mother is the type to worry about you wasting your time with video games. Write something like, "I know you probably worry about me spending all my time playing video games. If you allowed me to get a PlayStation, I would be happy to have you and Dad decide how long I can use it each day."  End the letter respectfully. Thank your parents for taking the time to read it and ask them to get back to you. For example, "I hope you'll take this all into consideration. Thank you for reading this letter. Let me know what you think. Love, Tara." Use holidays and your birthday to ask for a PlayStation. Your parents may be more willing to indulge you on a special occasion. Your parents will be buying you gifts during these times, so tell them all you want is a PlayStation console. If they express concern, you can promise to use it responsibly and allow them to veto any games they feel are violent or inappropriate. Many games are designed for adults. A lot of...

Fill your slow cooker at least 1/2 full with sliced onions and add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil or butter for every 1 pound (450 g) of onions. Put the lid on the cooker and turn it to low. Slow-cook the onions for 10 hours so the onions brown and soften. If you remember, you can stir the onions occasionally to help them cook evenly, but it's fine if you simply leave them to cook without stirring.

Squeeze the bottom of the pot your lavender plant is in. This helps loosen the lavender and its dirt ball from the smaller pot. Tilt the lavender sideways and pull gently on the plant’s base. With the loosening of the previous step, the lavender plant should ease out of its old pot.  The dirt should be solid enough that it feels like it will come out in one chunk if handled gently. Handle your pot-less lavender gently to avoid breaking the dirt and damaging the roots as well as the foliage above the dirt. Now you’re ready to pot your lavender plant in the new pot! Nestle it into the dirt that is already in the pot for security. The base of the plant should sit 3-inches below the rim of the pot. Gently break the surface of the lavender dirt ball with your fingers to release some of the roots.  Root binding happens when a plant has been in a small pot too long and the roots rival the dirt for space. This makes the dirt hard and unless the dirt and roots are loosened, the roots will not expand in their new pot and the plant will soon die.  Most potted plants won’t be root bound, but it’s a good idea to loosen up the roots and dirt a little to ensure the roots get a healthy start. Fill it only up to the top of the dirt ball around the lavender plant’s roots. Don’t pack the soil around the Lavender plant. The soil needs to stay loose for effective drainage. Sprinkle the fertilizer on the soil and then scratch the fertilizer into the soil with a fork.  Timed-release fertilizer can be found at any gardening or farm store and will release fertilizer as the plant is watered. An example of a timed-release pellet fertilizer is alfalfa pellets. They are organic and contain Triacontanol, which is a growth stimulant.  Some soils come with fertilizers like alfalfa pellets already mixed in, so you may not need to do this. Turkey grits or white landscaping pebbles work best for mulching lavenders. Lay the mulch on the soil in a 2-inch thick layer up to the base of the plant.  This mulch is great for preventing rot in the...

TL;DR in English: Remove the Lavender plant from its current pot. Place the lavender plant in the center of the pot. Fill the rest of the pot with your potting mix. Spread a half cup timed-release fertilizer over your potting soil. Mulch your lavender plant.

Even if you have a covered play area in your yard, never leave your small dog alone outside. Your dog may find a way out of its enclosure and wander out into full view of a bird of prey. Retractable leashes allow your dog to get too far away from you. Purchase a standard leash that is no more than 6 feet (1.8 m) long. And never let your dog off the leash while outside of your yard, even if you’ve never seen predators near your home. Be on the lookout for trees, both near your home and along your walk route, where birds of prey have nested. These nests may be up in the branches or inside tree cavities. Don’t allow your dog off its leash, even in your yard, if a bird of prey has nested nearby.  Wait until the eggs have hatched and the birds have left the nest before you let your dog off the leash outside. In the U.S., birds of prey are federally protected, so do not attempt to disturb or remove an active nest. A Raptor Shield is like a dog coat that you sling over your dog’s back and clip under its stomach. The canvas material makes it impossible for a bird’s talons to latch onto your dog’s skin and carry it away. Put this on your dog whenever it’s outside, particularly if it will be off leash.

TL;DR in English: Supervise your dog whenever it’s outside. Keep your dog on a non-retractable leash during walks. Keep your dog away from any trees with nests. Purchase a Raptor Shield for your dog to wear outside.

It’s common for English speakers to see Latin words and phrases italicized, such as in medias res (“in the middle of things”) or in loco parentis (“in the place of a parent”). However, Latin words and phrases that have entered common usage are usually not italicized -- including i.e. and e.g. To indicate a separate clause, you can either insert a comma before "i.e." or "e.g." or you can use parentheses, both of which are shown in the examples above. If you use parentheses, open them right before the "e.g." or "i.e." and close them after you have given your example or alternate definition. For American English usage, you should always put a comma right after both "i.e." and "e.g." as shown in the examples above. For British English usage, do not put a comma right after either "i.e." or "e.g." If you’re just writing for yourself or in an informal situation, you may not have any specific requirements. However, if you’re writing in a particular academic discipline, or in a particular profession (such as journalism), you will probably be asked to write in accordance with the relevant style manual. For example, APA Style, the official style of the American Psychological Association, is used widely in the social sciences and in professions like journalism. APA states that you should always put a comma after e.g. and i.e. when using them: “Some sources (e.g., Janet, 2010; Jeff, 2015) argue that mushrooms are tasty” and “There are three meals in the day (i.e., breakfast, lunch, and dinner)”. If you use a sentence that includes i.e. and a parenthetical comment, make sure that the restatement is directly equivalent to what you said first: you should be able to swap them out without a loss of meaning.  The sentence “His favorite type of sandwich is an open-faced sandwich (i.e., one that uses only one piece of bread rather than two)” represents correct usage of i.e. The sentence “His favorite type of sandwich is an open-faced sandwich (i.e., a panini or similar type of sandwich)” represents incorrect usage, because “a...

TL;DR in English: Italicize only if specifically asked. Use parentheses or commas with both. Determine any style manual requirements. Ensure that what you write after i.e. means the same as what precedes it. Try replacing the abbreviations with their meaning.

If you were dating or if she was your friend, decide if you still want her in your life. Either way, you might still be able to make her feel guilty, but it's best to figure out whether you still want her or not. Decide what she did wrong. Admit to any part you may have had in the conflict and focus on the specifics of what she did to offend you. Is she mean to everyone or is she only mean to you? Give yourself time to recover from the way she treated you. Stop talking to her. Avoid her at school, work, or wherever you normally see her. If you happen to run into her, walk past her and pretend she isn't even there. Focus on healing yourself without relying on time to do it for you. Surround yourself with friends that support you. Talk to your friends about how she hurt you. Give yourself a support group so you don't have to face her alone before you are ready. Before you confront her, make sure you have a clear idea of what you are going to say. If your thoughts toward her are very chaotic, take time to write down the specific things that are hurting you.

The quickest way to get rid of a raspy voice is to talk. Although your voice will sound gritty and unpleasant at first, it will soon even out and you’ll soon find yourself speaking in a normal voice.  If you don’t want others to hear you talking in a raspy voice, try talking to yourself, talking to your pets, or even talking or singing in the shower. Alternately, even if you wait a few hours to begin speaking in the morning, most of the raspy sound will have left your voice. Your voice will sound the hoarsest during the first hour or two after waking up. If your vocal chords have dried out overnight, you’ll likely wake up with a raspy, dry voice in the morning. To get rid of the raspy quality as soon as possible, have a large drink of water, coffee, or even orange juice as soon as possible. The liquid will clear any phlegm or liquids that have built up in your throat.   Vocalists are often advised to squeeze a lemon slice into a glass of water to help “wake up” their vocal cords. Avoid drinking milk in the morning, as it is a relatively thick liquid and will not clear your throat well. If your throat and vocal cords are coated with mucus (which often produces a raspy voice), try clearing your throat to remove the thick, phlegmy coating. This will help your voice to quickly return to its normal quality. Humming will “wake up” your voice by causing your vocal cords to vibrate and shake off any mucus coating them. When you hum correctly, you should feel you lips and nose gently vibrating. Try humming for 30 seconds, and then saying a few words. See if your voice has improved. If not, hum some more.

TL;DR in English: Start talking shortly after you wake up. Drink water or coffee when you get up. Clear your throat gently. Hum softly to help clear your throat.

This type of surgery causes less damage to the surrounding tissue and requires a shorter recovery period. However, there is a risk of hernia recurrence. This procedure uses a tiny camera and miniaturized surgical equipment to repair the hernia using small incisions. The hernia is repaired by sewing the hole to close the abdominal wall. A surgical mesh is also used to patch the hole. This type of surgery is done for hernias where a portion of the intestines has moved down into the scrotum. A part of the scrotum or groin may be incised to retrieve and reposition the intestine. Then, it is closed using stitches. Open surgery requires a longer recovery process. But, the patient can resume his normal daily activities six weeks after surgery. Hernia surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure. The surgeon repositions the herniated tissue and, if strangulation has occurred, removes the oxygen-starved part of the organ. The damaged muscle wall will frequently be repaired with synthetic mesh or tissue.

TL;DR in English: If possible, get a laparoscopic surgery. If you have intestinal movement, you will need open surgery. Remember that you will be under local or general anesthesia during the surgery.

To make a professional quality silhouette, you'll need to take a little time to effectively select the object you're silhouetting. Since some of these techniques require deleting or altering the original image, it is best to just duplicate the layer now and leave the original with it's little padlock, preventing you from ruining it. To duplicate a layer, simply right-click it in the layers panel, then select "Duplicate Layer..." The Pen tool is, in many ways, Photoshop's most powerful too, though it takes getting used to. Select it from the menu, or press P, then click to create little points around your outline. When you complete the entire selection, you'll have a "Path," or solid line around your entire image. When done, simply right-click on the path and choose "Make Selection."  If you're working with a very curvy shape, try the "Free Form Pen Tool," found by clicking and holding the Pen Tool in the toolbox. The pen tool is perfectly precise, but only if you know how to handle it. Take some time to experiment with it, especially with curves. It will trace the best shape for you, with practice. For example, say you've got a woman standing against a mostly blue sky, and you want to silhouette her. Instead of selecting her, you can select the sky behind her, removing it from the layer. Simply use the Magic Wand to select the background, the delete it away to leave just the silhouetted object. Change the tolerance at the top bar to make the Wand more or less precise. A higher number (75-100) selected a wider range of colors while a low tolerance (like 1-10) will only select very similarly colored pixels. The most intuitive tools for creating selections, these generally require a steady hand and some patience, though they are easy to use. For all of them, simply click and drag around the object with your tool to create a selection. You can add more to a selection by holding Ctrl/Cmd when you click, or subtract from a selection by holding Alt/Opt.   Quick Selection: Looks like a paintbrush with a circular...

TL;DR in English: Duplicate your original image layer to get a spare copy for your silhouette. Use the Pen Tool (P) for the most exact, perfect outlines to make silhouettes from. Use the Magic Wand (W) tool to separate a simple 1-2 color background. Use the remaining selection tools to trace out simple objects. Ctrl-Click on a layer from the layers menu to automatically select it. Use "Refine Edge" to get the perfect selection.

Use a wide toothed comb to brush all your hair out. Then take the comb and comb down a section of hair at the side of your face until midway down the hair shaft.  Combing out your hair separates all the strands so that you can more evenly spray your hair. If you have short hair, you don’t need to comb through your hair. Still holding the comb in your hair, spray the top of the section of hair you are combing lightly and evenly with gray or silver hairspray. If you have short hair, you can simply spray your entire head evenly and with the hairspray, building it up in layers if you want a more dramatic effect.  You can find temporary gray or silver spray color at most beauty stores and Halloween stores. Silver spray may be more common but it also may have a metallic effect, so it’s best to check the packaging or consult a store associate before purchasing a temporary silver hairspray. Hairspray is very effective at coloring your hair, but it may make your hair stiff depending on how much you use. Once you have sprayed the top of the strand of hair you are combing, run the comb down your hair shaft and spray to the tips of your hair. Repeat the spraying process on your whole head, partially combing a section of your hair, spraying it from the top of your head down to the comb, then combing out the rest of the section and spraying. Use a mirror for the back of your head and apply the spray until you are satisfied with the result. Colored hairspray usually lasts from 1-3 shampoos.

TL;DR in English:


Try cold drinks. Eat cold foods. Try an ice pack. Use warm salt water rinses. Stick to soft foods.

yourself to others. It’s hard to stop comparing yourself to what others are doing. However, it’s important to stop because you’ll always view yourself unfavorably, even if that’s not true. Instead, compare yourself to you in the past to make sure you’re growing into the person you want to be.  For instance, compare your skills last year to the skills you have now. As an example, you might be tempted to compare your grades to your friend's grades. Instead, compare the skills you have now to your performance in the past. You might say to yourself, "Last year I didn't understand algebra at all, but now I'm passing my class. That's progress!" Life is short, so spend it doing things that make you happy. People are going to have a different perspective on things than you do, but don’t listen when they say negative things. Just keeping doing you.  For instance, don’t be afraid to wear Halloween clothes in July if that makes you happy. Similarly, wear wigs every day if you have fun changing up your look. If people make fun of you, it might help to give a comeback and walk away. You might say, "Did you stay up all night thinking of that?" "Wow, I'm surprised you care," or "Always nice to hear from my fans." This can make them stop. If talking to them makes you uncomfortable, walk away from them and talk to someone who understands you. When people make comments, remind yourself why it's important to you to be yourself. Say, "I want to write my own story, so I can't let these people hold me back." You’ve probably encountered conformity at your school or work. Sometimes it’s important to follow rules, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up your identity. Don’t feel like you have to fit in with everyone else. Just be yourself.  For instance, don’t worry about what’s trendy or fashionable. Choose clothes that express what you want to say to the world. Similarly, don't feel pressured to choose an educational or career path just because everyone else is doing it. When you make decisions, do what feels right for you even...

TL;DR in English: Stop comparing Do what makes you happy without worrying about what others think. Reject conformity and choose your own path. Combine your clothes in unexpected ways to create unique outfits. Accessorize Play around with your makeup if you wear it. Get a tattoo or piercings if you like the way they look.

If you are experiencing two or more of these symptoms, you may be experiencing heart failure. You should make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible to get checked out. You should never rely on your own diagnosis, but go get checked out by a doctor immediately.  The symptoms of heart failure are not very specific and may be symptoms of other conditions. Heart failure causes your heart to get worse if left untreated. This is why it’s important to be seen by a doctor as soon as possible. If you experience any chest pain, fainting, weakness that impairs your functioning, severe shortness of breath, or pink, foamy mucus when you cough, you should contact emergency services. The first step in diagnosing heart failure is for your doctor to give you a physical exam. During this exam, the doctor will take your blood pressure and weigh you. They will check over your body, looking for signs of swelling in your legs and feet and around the abdomen. Your doctor will also use a stethoscope to listen to your heart, checking for anything that sounds abnormal. They will also check the sound of the lungs for any fluid. When you go to your appointment, your doctor will need certain information from you. You need to give them a list of your symptoms, including those that you may not believe are related to your heart failure. Be as detailed as possible.  You will need to tell your doctor about any personal or family medical history that is pertinent. You should share any personal or family history of heart disease, heart failure, high blood pressure, stroke, or even diabetes. You may need to tell your doctor about recent life changes or major stresses. Tell your doctor about all your medications, including vitamins and supplements you take. Your doctor may want to know about your dietary or exercise habits. Your doctor will ask you if you smoke, if you used to smoke, and about your alcohol consumption. If you think you are experiencing heart failure, you should ask your doctor questions about your symptoms,...

TL;DR in English: Go see your doctor. Get a physical exam. Share important information about yourself. Ask your doctor questions.

When you sell a car that you still owe on, you don't actually own the title. Essentially, the lender will be selling the car. Talk to your lender about the procedures they have in place for getting the title to the buyer quickly. Because your car is financed, some buyers may get a bit nervous. If they give you the money, you can pay off the car and keep the title, or keep the money and not pay off the car at all, which would mean it would still be under financing. Neither of these options would make the buyer happy, not to mention they're illegal. However, to put them at ease, you can have them make the payment directly to the bank through cash or a check. If you owe more to the lender than the buyer is willing to pay, it's your responsibility to pay off the rest of the loan. You'll need to do this when you're selling the car so the title can be transferred. You'll need a bill of sale and a release of liability, which you can usually print off from the website for the department of motor vehicles (DMV). You can also pick them up in person. For the bill of sale, you'll need things like the vehicle identification number and the mileage on the odometer. In most cases, it's best to just make the sale at the bank with the buyer. That way, if you have any questions, the lender is right there to answer them, as well as to provide paperwork and notarize it as needed. Plus, it lends a formality to the sale, and the lender can hand the title over to the buyer. Take your license plates off before finishing the sale. Obviously, you won't always be able to meet the buyer to sell your car. In that case, you'll need to take the bill of sale to your local DMV. They can issue the buyer a temporary operating permit until the title comes in. Once you complete the sale and get the title, you can then transfer it to the buyer by signing it and mailing it.

TL;DR in English: Ask about the lender's procedures for selling a car. Have the buyer make the payment to the bank. Pay any extra still owed on the loan. Have the documents ready. Meet at one of the lender's locations to make the sale. Obtain a temporary operating permit for out-of-state buyers.

If your braces are bothering you, try cold drinks. Ice cold water and cold juices or soft drinks can help ease the pain of your teeth and gums. Cold liquids can cause a numbing sensation in the mouth, resulting in a reduction of inflammation and pain. As cold drinks can provide pain relief, you could try cold foods to see if they have a similar effect. Try drinking chilled smoothies or eating ice cream or frozen yogurt. You can also refrigerate fruit, veggies, and other healthy foods so they're cool when you eat them. Cold fruits, like chilled strawberries, may have some effect on strengthening the gums. Do not, however, bite into any frozen foods, and avoid using your front teeth. Doing so may cause cracks in your enamel, which can be difficult to repair and increase sensitivity. Icing sore areas can decrease inflammation, lessening pain. Applying an ice pack to the outside of your mouth may reduce pain. Remember, do not apply a store bought ice pack directly to bare skin. Wrap it in a towel or cloth before use to avoid frostbite and other complications. A salt water rinse is an easy home remedy that help ease pain for some. It's quick and easy to use.  Mix about a half a teaspoon of salt into a glass of warm water. Mix until the salt is dissolved.  Rinse your mouth with the solution for about 30 seconds and then spit it out into a sink.  You can also rinse with chamomile tea, green tea, or ginger tea, which may have an anti-inflammatory effect. Rinse twice a day: for one minute in the morning and two minutes before going to bed. Teeth tend to be very sensitive after braces are tightened or adjusted. Softer foods can help reduce pain and irritation.  Go for foods that do not require much movement of the teeth. Things like mashed potatoes, smoothies, puddings, soft fruits, and soups are good options.  Try to avoid spicy foods and hot drinks as these can cause gum irritation.

TL;DR in English:


Start by massaging your entire hand. Warm up and relax your hand. Work on your fingers. Massage the palm of your hands. Move on to the backs of your hands. Concentrate on areas that you feel might be causing your chest pain.

You’ll improve over time if you adapt your practices to your players. Consider how effective your practice sessions are and modify them to suit your team’s needs. If you don’t see improvement in your players, consider changing the format of your practices or the lineup of your team. Be open to change. Testing an idea will give you good feedback on whether or not you’re going in the right direction. If a play doesn’t work, changing it can only help identify the problem. Ask other coaches or parents what they think you could improve upon. Set concrete goals for yourself and try to reflect on how well you’re doing. A good coach adapts and seeks feedback when things aren’t working. Your team isn’t a dictatorship. When your players provide you with feedback, consider it carefully. It’s possible that they see things that you don’t during a practice or game. You only have one set of eyes, and you’re going to miss things during game time. Have a friend or parent of a player set up a camcorder or phone to record your games. Watch the games later and try to figure out what is working and what isn’t. Studying game film is an excellent way to improve your skills as a coach. You can watch game film with your players as well. Sometimes it helps for players to see what the game looks like from a different perspective. A good coach is a good student. Read as many books about coaching the game as you can, and sign up for clinics that teach coaches how to improve. Clinics also provide a good opportunity to bounce ideas off of others and meet new people. Improving your skills as a coach is a good way to develop and create a championship team!

TL;DR in English: Develop your coaching style over time by considering what works. Reflect on how you can improve and seek feedback. Study game film to understand what’s working. Attend coaching clinics and basketball camps to learn new things.

Combine about two tablespoons of baking soda with about one tablespoon (15 milliliters) of water.  The mixture should not be too thin.  If it sloshes about in the bowl you mixed it in, add some more baking soda to help it achieve a more paste-like texture.  It also shouldn't be too thick.  If the mixture is thick and dry, and doesn't adhere well to the fork or spoon you use to mix it, add some water to thin it out. The more grout you have to clean, the more paste you'll need. The easiest way to apply the paste to the grout is with your finger.  Simply scoop a little dollop of the paste onto your finger tip and smear it in an even layer across the grout you wish to clean. In a spray bottle, combine water and vinegar in a one-to-one ratio.  For instance, you might combine 1.5 cups (354 milliliters) vinegar with 1.5 cups (354 milliliters) water. To prevent grout from accumulating grime in the shower, just spray this mixture onto the shower grout two or three times weekly after getting out of the shower. Point the nozzle of the spray bottle toward the baking soda paste you've smeared along the grout.  Squeeze the handle of the bottle.  Repeat as necessary until all of the paste has bubbled up somewhat. You may have to wait about five minutes for the vinegar and baking soda to react. Once the paste has become fizzy with the application of the vinegar mixture, use a stiff-bristled toothbrush to scrub the grout clean.  Use a toothbrush you aren't planning on using again for anything but detail cleaning. Once you've loosened the grime and grit along your grout, it should wipe away with ease.  Take a damp rag or paper towel and wipe it along the grout you've cleaned.  Wipe the area along the edges of the grout, too, to soak up any of the lingering water/vinegar. If you want to give your floor an additional level of shine, mop the whole thing after you're done.

TL;DR in English: Make a baking soda paste. Apply the paste to the grout. Mix water and vinegar. Spray the mixture onto the paste. Scrub the grout. Wipe the grout.

This is when the flowers are at their best.  Some suggestions for use include:  Add the flowers to salads, ice cubes or and use as a garnish; use them in place of violets for sugared/candied flowers Use the leaves in meat dishes, fish dishes and salads; also good in soups, vegetable bakes, fruit salads and with pulses Use as a companion plant. If grown near cabbages, it may serve as a decoy plant to keep some of the white cabbage butterflies off the cabbages. Use in potpourri to impart its fragrance; dried leaves and flowers can be used in potpourri. Make a tea from hyssop for medicinal purposes, such as helping with coughs and improving digestion. Consult reliable herbal remedy books for directions and contra-indications.

TL;DR in English: Pick flowers and young flowering tops of hyssop soon after flowering starts. Pick leaves any time during growth. Use hyssop as required.

Whether you're writing clues, placing photos in special locations, or giving little gifts throughout your treasure hunt, you'll need to get all of the materials that you'll need to create your treasure hunt. Get these supplies when you're not with your partner so that they don't become suspicious.  Whether you're writing clues or giving small gifts, you'll need to prepare all of the steps to your treasure hunt. Consider numbering the each clue to make sure that you place the clues in order. Go to each of your treasure hunt locations to set up your clues. Tape your clues in place, use an object to weigh them down, hang them from a fence with ribbon, hang a banner from a tree, or have someone waiting there to hand out your clues to your partner. Each clue should be fairly easy to spot so that your partner doesn't have a problem finding it.  Consider getting your mutual friends involved to help deliver the clues to your partner in each location. Consider hiring people to help deliver clues to your partner. These people could be dressed up in costumes to really take your treasure hunt above and beyond. If you're setting up clues in stores, restaurants, etc., make sure to talk with the management to get their permission. Some of your clues may require the assistance of these stores, so make sure that they are willing to help. It's a good idea for you to do a test run of the treasure hunt so you'll know whether it works, if it's too easy or too difficult, and approximately how much time it takes to complete it. This will allow you to make any necessary adjustments before sending your partner on their romantic treasure hunt. This will also help you determine what time you should be waiting for them at their final location. Now that you've set everything up, get this romantic treasure hunt started. Give your partner their first clue, and let them begin the journey. Make sure that you are waiting it the final location by the time they get there.

TL;DR in English: Gather your supplies. Set up each step. Do a test run of the treasure hunt. Start the treasure hunt!

According to reflexology theory, this will help to relax you and flush toxins from your system. Also, general massage has been proven to reduce pain and improve quality of life. Hand reflexology points are located more deeply than the similar points on your foot, so warming up your hand is very important to avoid pain.  Gently rub massage oil or moisturizer into the wrist of your hand, using gentle, sweeping motions with your thumb for about 30 seconds. Continue these sweeping motions as you move up to the palm of the hand, sweeping from the inside of the palm to the edges for about 30 seconds. Turn you hand over and gently run your thumb from the webbing between your fingers to the top of your wrist. Grip each finger and give it a gentle side to side twist, rotating the knuckle joint.  Move your hand up and repeat with the second joint and top joint of each finger. Repeat these steps with your other hand. Starting with the tip of your thumb, use your thumb and index finger to squeeze and apply pressure in a gentle circular motion for 3 to 5 seconds. Work your way down your thumb two times, then repeat with your other fingers. Do the same for you other hand. For each area of your palm, you will move downwards, then back up, and then to the side and start down again. At each point, apply gentle, rotational pressure for 3-5 seconds.  Start on the soft padding under your fingers. Move on to the center of your palm. Work on the outer edge of your hand, starting under the little finger and continuing to the wrist. Massage the base of your hand, moving from your thumb to the outer edge of you hand. Finish by moving from left to right and back again across your wrist. Remember to apply much less pressure, as the back of your hand is very sensitive.  Starting at the knuckle at the base of your thumb, apply gentle, rotational pressure for 3 to 5 seconds. Work down to the wrist, then move sideways. Continue working from the knuckles to the wrist until you have covered the entire back of your hand. Apply gentle pressure...
