You can use whatever kinds of apples you’d like for this recipe, although sweeter, less tart apples are typically better for baby food. Fuji and Gala apples are both sweet and cook great, and Granny Smith apples actually sweeten when you cook them.  Although you’re going to be removing the peel from the apples, it’s best to wash them thoroughly first just so you start with a clean piece of fruit. After they are washed and dried, use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. If you don’t have a peeler, you can always use a knife.  You can rinse your apples under water, or use a mixture of three parts water and one part vinegar. This will help to kill any bacteria on your apples. You can use as many apples as you like for this recipe. One apple yields approximately five ounces of puree, so you can plan accordingly. You don’t want to include the apple seeds and tough core in your puree. You can core your apple by using a tool made specifically for this task, which goes through the apple and removes the entire center. If you don’t have this tool, keep it simple and just use a knife.  To remove the core with a knife, first cut your apple into slices. Then, grab each slice individually and trim off the tough part along the inner edge. Your apple slices don’t need to look picture perfect. Just make sure you’ve successfully removed all of the core and seeds from the good “meat” of the apple. Make sure you do this part slowly and carefully, to avoid cutting yourself on a sharp knife or apple coring tool. By chopping up your slices into small chunks, you’ll make it easier to eventually blend and mash together. Aim to cut your apple into pieces about the size of dice. Once you’ve washed, peeled, sliced, and chopped your apples, you’ve done all the prep work necessary for this recipe.

TL;DR in English: Wash and peel your apples. Core your apples. Slice into chunks.

To start, find a firm surface. Lay the infant on the firm surface with their face down. Make sure the infant's head is turned so they can breathe. Kneel near the infant's feet. You can also place the infant on your lap face down. Use the heel of your hand. Deliver five quick blows to the area between the infant's shoulder blades. Hopefully, an object will pop out quickly. With an infant, be firm in the blows but do not use harsh force. You do not want to press too hard, as this could hurt an infant. Gravity combined with back blows can provide adequate force to dislodge the object. If no object pops out, turn the infant over. Support their head with your hand, keeping the head slightly lower than the feet. Place your fingers on the lower half of the infant's breastbone. Make sure to keep your hand in the middle of your infant's breastbone and not to one side of another. Press down five times in a series of chest thrusts. If you see the object become dislodged, stop giving chest thrusts. Immediately call 9-1-1 if the object does not become dislodged. As you wait, repeat the back blows and the chest thrusts. Repeating the steps may cause the object to become dislodged while you're waiting.

TL;DR in English: Hold the infant face down. Give the baby five quick blows to the back. Turn the infant over. Give the infant five chest thrusts. Call emergency services if the objects fails to come out.

If the water pressure is too high or too low, it can create noise in the water flow valve. In order to assess the water pressure of the water coming out of the fill valve, pull off the refill hose right where it connects to the fill valve. Be careful, as water will be flowing if this is done while the toilet is filling.  If there is a strong stream of water coming out, then the water pressure may be too high. If this is the case, try turning the water valve at the base of the toilet partly down, reattach the hose, and try flushing again. The lowered pressure may eliminate the noise. If the water pressure into the toilet is very low, then you will need to increase it. This will require you to investigate the fill valve a little further. If the water pressure is too low, it may be restricted while it goes through the fill valve. In order to assess this, you will need to take the top of the fill valve off and clean it out. First, turn off the water to the toilet. Then, take the top of the fill valve. Look for debris that could be impacting the water pressure. To clean out the valve you will need a large cup that you can hold over the top of it. With the top of the valve off, place the cup over the top and turn the water back on for a few seconds. The water should shoot up into the cup, taking all debris and gunk that was in the valve with it. Then, turn the water off and replace the valve cap. the fill valve if necessary. If you have cleaned out your fill valve and it is still making a lot of noise when the toilet tank fills, then you may need to replace it. Turn the water to the toilet off and then drain the tank by flushing the toilet. Remove the existing fill valve and take it with you to your local home improvement or hardware store.  By having the existing fill valve with you, you can be sure to get a replacement that will fit your toilet. Ask an employee at the store to help you if you are unsure how to find the right part. Take the replacement part home and follow the instructions it comes with to install...

TL;DR in English: Assess the water flow pressure into the tank. Clean out the fill valve. Replace

In the United States, you need a Social Security number or other proof of the right to work. Always list most recent employment first, and move back in chronological order. For each job you've held, include:  Company name, address, age and contact information Supervisor and contact information Your job title, responsibilities, and accomplishments Dates you started and ended employment at the company, the reason you stopped working there, and your final pay rate. If you have no work history, have not worked for some time, or have been in prison, you still need to write something down in the "previous employment" section. The correct response can mean the difference between getting the job and being turned down.  Gaps in Employment – If there are months or years between your jobs, you need to explain why. Note if you have been attending school or training. If you have been searching for a job for some time, you can simply write “job hunting.” No Work History – Even if you have not had a paying job, it is still best to include something in the employment section. List any volunteer, charitable, or casual labor jobs such as babysitting, doing lawn work, painting a house, or helping out on your family’s ranch. Prison – Write down the jobs you did in prison. As your employer, list the state where you were imprisoned if a state prison or the United States government if a federal prison. Some applications will request your entire education history from high school on, while other will only want to know the highest level of educations you attained. List most recent education first. Be sure to include:  The name, location, and level (high school, GED, college, graduate) of each school attended The dates attended Any honors received If you are in school or working towards your GED, list the date you expect to receive your diploma.

This website offers a lightweight tool to scan your computer’s hardware and compare it to the system requirements of a selected game. If the game does not appear in the dropdown menu check your spelling first. If your spelling is correct, it's possible that the system requirements for that specific game are not in the database. If your game's requirements are not in the database, consult the manufacturer's website for the requirements and compare them to your own system's specifications. This button appears below the search bar and will prompt you to pick a method for scanning your hardware. You will be redirected to a page to download the desktop app and instructions on its use. Alternately you can select to view the system requirements of the game without downloading the desktop app, but the site will not be able to scan and compare your computer’s hardware this way. After the app scans your computer it will automatically close and your hardware will be displayed on the website. The app does not need to be installed to your hard drive - it is a self-contained program. The site will highlight which pieces of your hardware meet the system requirements and which fall short. If your hardware meets all of the minimum requirements, then you should be able to run the game (albeit at low quality settings).  If you system does not meet the minimum requirements to run the game, you will need to purchase and install more powerful hardware for your computer in order to run the game properly. This page will also offer suggestions for possible driver updates or hardware upgrades. Your hardware will be compared with both the minimum and recommended system requirements.

TL;DR in English:


Stay calm and prepare for the visit to your doctor. Avoid taking pain medications before going to see your doctor. Do not eat, drink, or take any laxatives before seeing your doctor. Know that your doctor will feel around your stomach testing for pain. Be prepared for a rotation of the hip test. Expect a leg extension test. Be ready for a rectal exam.

Yoga pants are easy to find at most stores that carry workout clothes. They come in many different colors so you can pick whatever suits your personality. Try some lunges or stretches in the dressing room to make sure you have a full range of motion. You can also wear them for other fitness activities, like running or biking.  Full-length yoga pants are better suited for classes that won’t involve a lot of rapid movement since the excess fabric could trip you up. For more active classes where you’ll get hotter much quicker, consider getting a 3/4-length pair of yoga pants. The styles vary from pencil-leg to bell-bottoms. There are also more loose-fitting styles that resemble lightweight sweatpants. Consider which styles will make you feel most comfortable since you want to be able to work through your poses without worrying at all about the way you look. Again, at a Bikram class, less is more; you might not want your entire legs covered. Bicycle shorts are great for yoga because they stay put as you move.  You’ll also want to consider whether they are transparent when stretched, but you want to be secure that you will be well-concealed throughout the class. If you’re going to be sweating a lot in your shorts, consider black or navy blue colors that tend to show moisture less readily. If you have a favorite pair of shorts that moves with you as you do, they might be perfect for yoga. You might already have leggings in your closet. Just make sure you choose an opaque pair! If you haven’t tried yoga before and are tentative about investing in a new wardrobe before you know whether you’ll go to classes regularly, a pair of leggings is fine. But you will want to get some pants properly designed for yoga if you perform it more often because the way yoga clothes are tailored lend themselves well to getting into flexible poses comfortably and without restriction.

TL;DR in English: Wear yoga pants. Try bicycle shorts. Wear ordinary, loose fitting shorts. Choose a pair of leggings.

When you mention the YouTube video in the test of your paper, you need a parenthetical citation that directs your reader to the full citation in your reference list.  Go by the name you used for your full citation. If you have the video creator's full name, use their last name. If you were only able to find the username, use that instead. If the video creator was a corporation or news organization rather than a person, use the full name of the institution in your in-text citation.  Example: "(PlanktonBouy" If you're citing a comment on a YouTube video rather than the video itself, you still follow the same formula for name and year. The full citation will let your readers know that you're citing the comment rather than the video itself. Example: "(GOFISH, 2014)" Remember to use the year the comment was posted, not the year the video was published.

TL;DR in English: Start with the last name of the author. Provide the name and year for comments.

Assemble all your supplies for this science experiment before you start. Have the following on hand:  1 US gal (3.8 L) glass jar Matches Rubber glove Rubber band Flashlight or lamp Food coloring Water Use just enough water to cover the bottom of the jar. You only want to use a small amount of water so that the water can evaporate.  Swirl the water around inside the jar so that it covers the sides. Use oven mitts, since the boiling water will make the jar very hot. Have the fingers of the glove pointing downward into the jar. This will seal in the air into the jar. Once your hand is in the glove, move it upward so that you pull the fingers of the glove up. You’ll notice that nothing happens to the water in the jar. Take the glove off the jar for just a moment. Light a match (or have an adult light it for you) and drop it in the jar. Stretch the glove back over the jar, with the fingers pointing down into the jar. The water at the bottom of the jar will put out the match, and smoke will form in the jar. Slide your hand into the glove and pull it outward again. This time, a cloud will form in the jar. When you put your hand back inside the jar, the cloud will disappear. This will last for 5-10 minutes, and then the particles will settle into the bottom of the jar. When you shine a light on the jar, you will be able to see the clouds better. The air is full of warm water vapor molecules inside the jar. The air is compressed by the glove because the glove takes up some of the space inside the jar. Pulling the glove fingers out of the jar releases some space in the jar and allows the air to expand. The air inside the jar cools because pressure and temperature have a proportional relationship when pressure and temperature drops. The smoke from the match acts as a vehicle that the water molecules can attach to. They stick to the smoke particles, condensing into cloud droplets. When the glove fingers go back into the jar, the air inside the jar warms up again and the cloud disappears. Add a few drops of food coloring...

TL;DR in English: Gather your supplies. Pour boiling water into the jar. Put the rubber glove wrist around the mouth of the jar. Try putting your hand in the glove. Light a match and drop it in the jar. Put your hand in the glove again. Shine a flashlight on the jar. Understand how this works. Try the experiment again with colored clouds.

Hallucinations are typically symptomatic of certain psychiatric disorders, but some physiological medical conditions can cause hallucinations, too. The only way to fix the hallucinations long-term is to treat the underlying condition causing them.  Psychological conditions known to cause hallucinations include schizophrenia, schizoid or schizotypal personality disorders, psychotic depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and bipolar disorder. Physiological conditions that impact the central nervous system can cause hallucinations, as well. These can include brain tumors, delirium, dementia, epilepsy, stroke, and Parkinson's disease. Certain infections, like bladder infections or chest infections, may also cause hallucinations. Migraines can cause hallucinations in some individuals, too. Drug or alcohol abuse can cause hallucinations, too, especially when consumed in high quantities or during periods of withdrawal. Antipsychotics, also known as neuroleptic drugs, can control hallucinations in most circumstances. These drugs can be prescribed to help treat hallucinations caused by both psychological and physiological conditions, especially when other treatments are unavailable or not enough.  Clozapine, an atypical neuroleptic, is normally given in doses between 6 to 50 mg per day depending on the severity of the hallucinations. The dosage must be increased slowly to prevent fatigue. Regular white blood cell tests must be taken while on this medication, however, since it can lower white blood cell counts to dangerous levels. Quetiapine is another atypical neuroleptic that can treat hallucinations. It is generally less effective than clozapine in most circumstances, but it is also fairly safe to use for most underlying conditions. Other common antipsychotics include risperidone, aripiprazole, olanzapine, and ziprasidone. These medications are generally well tolerated by most patients, but may not be safe for patients suffering with Parkinson's disease. Some medications used to treat other conditions can cause...

TL;DR in English: Diagnose and treat the underlying cause. Take antipsychotic medication. Adjust dosages of current prescription medications. Enter rehabilitation, if necessary. Attend regular therapy. Seek a support group.

Going to the doctor, especially in a stressful situation like this one, can be nerve-wracking so it is best to know what you are going to experience. The abdominal exams your doctor will perform are listed in the following steps. It is best to see a doctor in the emergency room. Appendicitis is a condition that should be treated promptly if you have it, so it is recommended to be seen in the hospital where tests can be performed quickly if needed. While you will be experiencing pain, that pain is one of the only ways doctors can diagnose appendicitis in pregnant women so masking it with medication could be detrimental. Most people see a physician in the emergency room when they are worried about appendicitis, so the wait shouldn't be too long. The reason refraining from eating and drinking is important is that an empty stomach is required for certain procedures done by doctors. Also, it is easier on your digestive tract and reduces the chance of your appendix bursting if you do in fact have appendicitis. There are a variety of tests doctors perform in order to determine the cause of abdominal pain to figure out whether or not it is appendicitis. These include pressing around your abdomen to elicit painful areas, as well as tapping and testing for "rebound tenderness" (pain after they release the pressure of their hand).  The tests may seem redundant and time-consuming, but know that these can be very helpful to your doctor in figuring out exactly what is going on. This test will look for the "Obturator sign," which is pain that occurs when your hip is rotated. Your doctor will hold on to your right knee and ankle and then bend your hip and knee while rotating your leg inwards and outwards. Pay attention to any pain you feel in your lower right quadrant of your abdomen - tell your doctor if you feel pain in that area because it could mean that there’s an irritation of the obturator muscle happening, which is a sign of appendicitis. Your doctor will ask you to lie on your side, and he or she will extend your...

Go shopping and decide which brand of stick deodorant and which fragrance is best for you. There are many different types to choose from, including scented, unscented, men’s, women’s, gel-based, powder-based, natural, and more. Read the label to make sure you are not allergic to any ingredients. Before applying the stick deodorant, either take a shower or wash your armpits thoroughly to freshen up. Dry with a towel so that the deodorant will roll onto your skin smoothly without smearing. Deodorant is known to streak on clothes, therefore, it is better to roll the deodorant under your armpit and then wait as long as possible to get dressed. If you put it on right before putting your shirt on, you’re much more likely to get white marks on your clothing. As an alternative, you can put on your deodorant after you’ve already gotten dressed.

TL;DR in English: Choose a stick deodorant. Wash your armpits. Wait to get dressed.

As with smartphones, most laptops made within the last five years come with an integrated webcam (usually just above the monitor). Webcams tend to have much poorer quality than a standard video camera, but they'll do if you can't afford to purchase a smartphone or dedicated camera. If your computer doesn't have a webcam, you can usually purchase and install one for under $20. Most smartphones on the market come with three video-making essentials: A video camera feature to record videos, a microphone to record audio, and a large hard drive on which to store everything. While smartphones are portable, the audio and visual quality can be inferior to that of a dedicated video camera. Videos take up a lot of storage space. You may need to transfer your videos off of your phone after recording. You can find decent-quality video cameras for under $50 on Amazon, or you can spend around $120 on a high-quality video camera. Video cameras often have better display quality than a smartphone or webcam. Most modern video cameras have a removable SD card that can be used to transfer videos from the camera to the computer. Double-check to ensure that your selected camcorder has an SD card before purchasing it. . This can be accomplished by downloading third-party software that will allow you to record your screen. If you're recording tutorials or video game footage, you'll want to use such a program.  When recording, be sure that both the audio and video are properly being recorded by first making a test clip and viewing it. While not imperative, good sound quality can make or break a video; to this end, relying on your recording item's built-in microphone may not be ideal. If you can find a reasonably priced microphone that is compatible with your recording item, your videos' overall quality will improve immensely. Some video cameras come packaged with a dedicated microphone and all of the hardware you need to connect the two. While optional, doing this before settling on a video genre will help determine the kind of video...

TL;DR in English: Use a webcam for convenience. Use a smartphone for mobility. Use a video camera for high-quality filming. Record content that is on your computer monitor Consider purchasing a dedicated microphone. Try writing a script. Consider using a current trend for a video. Plan a video for a personal purpose. Consider making a video from other videos.

Write each sentence on a separate line of lined paper, and focus on one section at a time. Make sure you write your cue lines as well, but consider highlighting them or writing them with a different color pen, so you don’t confuse them for your own lines.  Make sure you write freehand, since typing is not as effective for triggering memory.  By writing your lines out, you’re also using a different part of your brain than the part that gets used when you hear things aloud, so it can be a great addition to your memorization process. By focusing on one line at a time, you’re creating a manageable goal for your brain to memorize. If you have a really short sentence, try memorizing two sentences at once. This might take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, so be patient! Remember that everyone’s brain works differently. Some people like to cover the previous line once they shift the paper down, while others like being able to see previous lines. Find a method that works for you. Doing this just once won’t help you memorize all of your lines. You’ll find that, after a few hours or days, you won’t remember the exact phrasing or details. The only way to make sure you get all of your lines right is to repeat this process over the course of several days. When you memorize lines quickly, your brain is using short-term memory to remember them. After you step away or stop reading lines, your brain things you no longer need that information and “throws out” the short-term memory, undoing all of your hard memorizing work. However, if you take a nap, your brain shifts that information to your long-term memory, which helps you remember your lines!  Alternately, you can go for a walk outside after memorizing a chunk of lines. Actors believe walking engages muscles that help with memorization.  Practice your lines before going to bed. Your mind will actually still work on your memorization while your sleep!

TL;DR in English: Write your lines. Fold your sheet of paper so you can only see one line at a time. Repeat the line out loud until you’ve memorized it. Shift the paper down and memorize the next line. Repeat the process. Take a nap after learning a chunk of lines.

Have a well-lit, uncluttered space you can dedicate solely to the project. You will be building in stages, leaving you with a partially assembled chopper in this space for a long period of time.     This option may cost the most up front, as you will be purchasing most or all the components of a new motorcycle at the same time.

There are a variety of speed tests available for free online. These tests usually perform three functions: ping test, download speed test, and upload speed test. Speed tests usually give a list of servers nearby to connect to and perform the test. Most tests automatically select the most optimal server for your location.  A close location will give you the best results and the closest transfer rate to your maximum. You can test your speeds to servers around the world to see how long it would take you to download files from another country. Wait a few moments as the test file is sent to your computer. The results will be displayed in Mbps. Compare your actual speed to the advertised speed of your service provider.

Whip up a mayo treatment. Try a serum to tame frizz. Get your hair trimmed every 6 to 8 weeks.

If you are applying to production job rather than doing freelance work, you'll need a well-organized resume. Put down all your education, including if you have had education past high school. If you have been to film school, list your coursework and any projects that you worked on. If you went to a liberal arts college and majored in something related to the industry like Film or Cinema Studies, list any concentration or area of interest within the major. Create a category in your resume for “Industry Experience”. List all the jobs that relate to the film industry. You want these positions to jump out at the potential employer who is reading your resume, and the best way to do that is to put them in a separate category at the top.  It’s ok if you don’t have any experience yet in the film industry. If you don’t have any jobs that would fall into this category, don’t force it. Just leave off this section. Put the rest of your job history in a section called Professional Experience or Job History. Make sure to put your most recent jobs. Try to emphasize the jobs in which you have been able to exercise the most responsibility and creativity. Depending on how old you are and how many jobs you have had, you don’t need to list every single job. For instance, if you babysat in high school, you can probably leave that off your resume. Film production involves conducting the entire process of the film, from pre to post production. Any experience you’ve had in organizing a major project will help to show that you have the vision required to work in film production. This could include volunteer experience, community service, or any clubs or organizations you belong to or run. The people reading your resume look at hundreds every day. You want to be sure that yours stands out by showing your personality and what you have to offer. Don’t be modest when writing your resume. For every job that you list, you want to state how your involvement was invaluable to the company you worked for. Instead of listing the tasks you...

TL;DR in English: List your education. List any industry experience. List the rest of your job history. Emphasize any projects or events you’ve had a major hand in. Include things that make you stand out. Don’t be afraid to brag. Get at least one other person’s advice on your resume. Make business cards.

Choose a location, and either an amount of time you want to spend reading or a number of pages you hope to finish.  Don’t try to read the rest of the book in one go.  Provide yourself a mental map of what your brain is seeking to accomplish – in terms of the literal tangible task at hand.  This will keep you from being overwhelmed by how much you have left to read.  Keep reading at the end of your reading session if you feel like it. If you fail to make the time to read the book, you won’t ever finish it! Assign yourself one or two chapters a day.  Complete them, and the reading will feel lighter and more rewarding. Find somewhere quiet, well-lit, and with fresh air.  Avoid anywhere that makes you feel restless.  Don’t think that locking yourself in the library will automatically make you productive; some of us are better able to focus when leaning against a tree in the park.  If you are indoors, find somewhere clean and organized. Avoid distractions.  Don’t read within sight of a television or computer. Turn your phone off, if possible. Have both blank paper and a writing utensil to take down notes, realizations, or points of inspiration.  Have water and a healthy snack.  Nuts are a great option, as is fruit. Natural sugars, such as those you can get from an apple or orange, will give you a short-term boost in mental ability, including memory. Coffee and tea can work wonders on your ability to focus.  Don’t overdo it, as too much caffeine can make you uncomfortable and distracted. Different types of coffee and methods of preparation offer different amounts of caffeine. The same is true of tea, which comes in a greater variety of flavors and is a healthier option. Be conscious of caffeine’s other effects on your body, including those with potential health ramifications.  Do not drink more than 400mg of caffeine per day. Mark your place clearly. Struggling to find where you left off can lead to starting your reading session in a distractedly frustrated mindset.  Easily finding your spot makes it easier to pick...

TL;DR in English: Plan a reading session. Choose an environment you enjoy. Have what you may need with you. Caffeinate. Use a bookmark.

You'll naturally have memories to share and a bit more to say if you knew the person who passed away. Consider writing a draft on a separate piece of paper so you can get your thoughts down before you compose the note on your sympathy card. Think about what you knew about the deceased, and try to come up with a natural-sounding, heartfelt note. Here are a few examples:  Dear Steve, We were incredibly sorry to hear that Joan passed away. She was a kind, caring friend who always made time for other people, and we loved her. Her students will remember her as a devoted teacher and wonderful role model. If you need help running errands, keeping the house in order, or anything at all, please don't hesitate to call us. We love you and are thinking of you. With deepest sympathy, Marcia and Luke Dear Mary Ann and Juan, it's impossible to express how sorry we are that your beautiful daughter has passed away after her struggle. What a brave, joyful child she was. We will miss her every day. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your two sons. If there is anything we can do, please call us. With love, Hayden and Dwayne While you won't be able to share memories of the person, you can speak to the person's reputation or simply express how sorry you are for your friend or family member's loss. Here are a few examples:  Dear Molly, I am so sorry to hear that your father passed away. Though I never got the chance to meet him, I know how much everyone at St. Paul's admired his volunteer work. How wonderful that you were able to spend so much time with him in his final days. Please call me if you need anything or just want to talk. I'm thinking of you. With sympathy, Jim Dear Victor, I was very sad to hear the news about your brother Hector. I know how close the two of you were. If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to call. Warmest condolences, Alicia The same sincere sentiments should be expressed when you're writing a sympathy card to someone whose pet has died. Try to remember a few details about...

TL;DR in English: Write an intimate message if you knew the deceased well. Express sincere condolences if you never met the deceased. Write a heartfelt message to acknowledge the death of a pet.

A room with a skylight or at least a large window is ideal for your newborn’s room.  A well-lit space will allow your newborn to get used to the night/day cycle, thereby minimizing the length of time it takes your baby to sleep according to a regular schedule. If you walk around the house with your shoes on, start taking them off at the front door.  Swap out synthetic candles containing benzene for beeswax candles.  Introduce some house plants to your home.  Air the house out by opening the windows for about 24 hours (weather permitting). To give your newborn really clean air, buy an air filter for your baby’s room. There are many ways to set up your newborn’s room.  For instance, you and your partner might put the crib and other furniture together, paint the room, and/or hang a mobile. Preparing for a newborn’s arrival often means that you don’t have time to clean the house.  After the newborn arrives, you and your partner often don’t have energy to clean.  If you can afford it, hire someone to clean your house during the month or so prior to the baby’s arrival and for the first three months after their arrival.

TL;DR in English: Choose a room with windows. Take steps to eliminate indoor air pollution. Help your partner set up the baby's room. Consider hiring a house cleaner.

Massage about two to three tablespoons (29.6-44.4 mL) of mayonnaise  into your hair when it's still damp. Cover it with a shower cap and let the mayo sit on your hair for 15 to 30 minutes. Finally, wash it out with a gentle shampoo. This should remove the mayo smell from your hair and also soften your hair, making it more curl-friendly. You won't need to apply conditioner after you shampoo, since the mayo provided a healthy dose of moisture. Apply a hydrating serum to damp hair before you style your hair to add some moisture and prevent frizz. Concentrate on applying it from midshaft to the ends. Avoid applying serums on your roots, since they can cause greasy buildup and oily strands. Check the package ingredients and choose a product that's free of alcohol. Regular trims will remove split ends that weigh your hair down and prevent curls from bounding back. Aim for every six weeks at least. If your hair grows quickly, schedule your trim every four weeks.

TL;DR in English:


Come up with a catchy job title. Help readers mentally check off your expectations. Distinguish your “must haves” from your “would be nice to haves. Tell candidates about the company. Avoid highly personal, derogatory, or discriminatory language.

Write down several notes on tiny sheets of paper and roll them into tiny tubes. During the course of the test, remove the eraser from the pencil and retrieve your notes. It may help to bring additional lead to give the illusion that you are replacing the lead in your pencil. Make sure to dispose of the notes in your pocket or in the trash so that no evidence is left behind. Write notes on a small strip of paper similar as you would when trying to hide them inside of a mechanical pencil. Roll the paper up and place it loosely in the cap of the pen. During the course of the test, remove the cap as though you are deep in thought and retrieve your notes.  If you pack the notes too tightly into the cap, you’ll have greater trouble retrieving them, which can draw attention to your cheating ways! Place the note and cap on the butt end of the pen to allow more room for the paper. Using multiple pens will give you space for more notes. Write out any notes or answers to questions ahead of time on small pieces of paper. Place the paper in your pencil case (or other similar cases, such as an eyeglass case). You can retrieve the notes by pretending you need to grab an additional pencil or eraser from your pencil case during the test.. Clear, soft plastic pencil cases, such as those that are zipped closed, allow you to see your notes without needing to open the pencil case. Place the pencil case somewhere on the floor where you can see it easily. If you have an eraser that features paper sleeves, remove the sleeve and write your notes on the inside. During the test, remove the sleeve as though you need to use a larger portion of the eraser, and carefully arrange the sleeve so that the answers are visible.  Light colored erasers can be written on directly, either with ink or lead. This is a great place to write down simple short answers or facts, as the answers can later be rubbed off. The eraser sleeve may need to be disassembled to allow easy writing. If this is the case, you can adhere it back on the eraser with a small...

TL;DR in English: Hide multiple notes inside a mechanical pencil. Hide notes in a pen cap. Keep notes in a pencil case. Hide notes in the eraser wrapping.

Dot eyeliner has become so popular that almost everything has been road tested already, including using more than two dots. For instance, you can create the first two dots as you normally would, then add one (or even two) more right beneath those in descending size. It creates a fade out effect that can look really cool. Break all the rules and go wild with your placement! Start with the typical two dots beneath your eyes, and then add them at the inner and outer corners of your eyes, too. This can create even more emphasis on your eyes and yield very interesting results. Try using a metallic shade at the inner and outer corners.  You can also create a line of dots above your eyebrows. Try making a cat eye using a series of dots. For a simple variation, place a dot under the arch on each of your eyebrows. There are no rules when it comes to makeup, especially when you’re experimenting and having fun. If you’re a makeup lover, you may have already seen this look floating around on Instagram. Create the first two dots in one color. Use another color to make smaller dots beneath that. Use yet another color beneath that, then add dots at the inner and outer corners of your eyes in the third color.  You can also try a more monochrome approach. Create the first dots in a dark color, then the next dots in a lighter shade of the same color, then dots in a shade that’s lighter still.  Create the dots in descending size for a fade out effect in both size and gradient.

TL;DR in English: Create more than two dots. Put dots in places other than under your eyes. Vary the color and placement of your dots.

One of the key elements of a good magazine article is good research. Take the time to locate good sources and read any necessary supplementary material to help you get a better sense of the article idea. Read through research material like articles, books, video, and social media posts. Good quotes from sources can often make or break your credibility as a writer and lead to a stronger article.  Look for content written by experts in the field that relates to your article idea. If you are doing a magazine article on dying bee populations in California, for example, you should try to read texts written by at least two bee experts and/or a beekeeper who studies bee populations in California. You should ensure any texts you use as part of your research are credible and accurate. Be wary of websites online that contain lots of advertisements or who are not affiliated with a professionally recognized association or field of study. Make sure you check if any of the claims made by an author have been disputed by other experts in the field or have been challenged by other experts. Try to present a well rounded approach to your research so you do not appear biased or slanted in you research. Think about individuals who may have interesting things to say about your topic and who can offer an expert opinion on your topic. You may also want to use consumers or clients as sources, depending on your topic. Do not be afraid to get on the phone and start calling people for interviews. Most people like to talk about themselves or about a topic they enjoy and are well versed in. You can also steal sources from other articles, as there is no rule against this if the sources are named in the article. You can also do an online search for individuals who may serve as good expert sources based in your area. If you need a legal source, you may ask other freelance writers who they use or ask for a contact at a police station or in the legal system. Once you get your sources to agree to sit down face to face for an interview, you will...

TL;DR in English: Research your article idea using sources like books and published texts. Locate individuals who could be good sources. Interview your sources. Transcribe your interviews. Create an article outline. Use a hook first line. Weave in quotes from experts or reliable sources. End on a strong concluding statement that illuminates or expands on your article topic.

If you have a severe sore throat without a cough and white exudate on your tonsils, you should definitely book an appointment to see your doctor as soon as possible. A sore throat that presents in this way is likely to be caused by Group A Strep. Your doctor will perform diagnostic tests to confirm it and will offer you treatment as needed. If your doctor agrees that your sore throat is worrisome for Group A Strep, she will perform a throat swab right then and there in the office. It is a procedure that does not take more than a few minutes. A sample is taken from the back of your throat and sent into the lab to test for the presence of streptococcal bacteria. If the test comes back positive, you will need to proceed with antibiotic treatment. Your doctor will perform a physical exam to evaluate the rash and the potential signs of scarlet fever in more detail. If enough signs and symptoms are present, he will offer you immediate antibiotic treatment.

TL;DR in English: See your physician. Obtain a throat swab. See your doctor immediately if you have developed the characteristic rash of scarlet fever.

Just another posting seeking a “mid-level operations manager,” for instance, might not stand out among similar job postings. Instead, you could advertise for a “Head of Ops bursting with experience” or a “Master Manager ready to lead a killer crew of 20.” This will get the attention of potential applicants! Make sure to use job titles that fit your company and the position. If fun and catchy titles don’t seem appropriate, just use a simple and direct one. Be specific about the job’s expected duties. You want someone reading your posting to quickly think either “Ooh, I’m not qualified for that” or “Hey, that sounds like me!”  For instance, you might write something like “We’re seeking a manager with at least 10 years of experience in commercial real estate. If you’ve mastered the art of leasing a variety of spaces (including retail and office buildings), and you’ve directed junior agents, you’re just what we’re looking for.” That way, if someone reading this doesn’t have the amount of experience you’re looking for, they can quickly tell the job’s not for them. That way, you won’t have to sift through ineligible resumes. ” If you have some parts of the job that you’re flexible on, let your readers know. That way, you won’t exclude candidates who could potentially be a great fit. Just use careful language to make this clear. For instance:  Say your company needs someone with experience in leasing and managing others, but ideally would also like to also like someone with sales experience, too. Write: “If you’re what we’re looking for, you’ll have at least 10 years experience in real estate leasing, and you’ll have previously directed a team of junior agents. If you also have experience in real estate sales, that’s a plus.” That way, a candidate who doesn’t have sales experience but is otherwise perfect may still consider applying. It’s a good idea to put a short description of your company near the end of your job posting. This gives applicants a sense of whether or not your company is a place they’d like to be....

TL;DR in English:


Drop 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream into a blender or food processor. Add the milk and honey. Add the almond butter and sliced/slivered almonds. Blend until everything is smooth and evenly mixed together. Pour the milkshake into a tall glass, but make sure that you leave a little room at top. Add the final scoop of ice cream at top and garnish with more sliced/slivered almonds. Add a straw, and enjoy.

A bag with two straps instead of one will offer more even weight distribution and be better for your back, but messenger style bags with one strap might look more fashionable. Decide which advantage is more important to you. The classic backpack has a full zipper that goes all the way around from near the base on one side, over the top, to near the base on the other side.  Other backpacks open only at the top and may include a flap that folds over as a closure instead of a zipper.  Full-zipper bags allow for easy insertion and extraction of large items or a lot of items at once. Top loading bags may give a little extra space because the top flap can be fastened over large or protruding items such as a jacket. In recent years backpacks with wheels that can be pulled instead of carried have become more popular. These can be a good option for carrying heavy loads.  Keep in mind that a wheeled bag will be much heavier even before it is loaded because of the added frame, handle, and wheels. If the bag is for a child, make sure they can lift it: when you do have to pick it up it will weigh more than a regular bag.  Wheeled bags can be more difficult to move around in crowded areas such as a busy hallway between classes. Wheeled bags are great for carrying very heavy items like lots of textbooks that you don't want to lift and wear on your back. Some schools have rules about wheeled bags and some schools do not allow them so check before buying.

TL;DR in English: Consider messenger style bags. Look at top-loading backpacks and full-zipper bags. Consider a wheeled backpack.

This diet is not, strictly speaking, an Atkins diet, though Atkins does tout is as an option for vegetarians and vegans on its website.  The concept of this diet derives mainly from a study detailed in the Archives of Internal Medicine (2009), which found that participants placed on a vegan low-carb, high-protein diet saw a markedly better drop in LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels as compared to those on a standard low-fat vegetarian diet, while both groups lost weight roughly equally.  The vegan diet in the study was 31% protein (mainly gluten, soy, and nuts), 43% fats (mainly nuts, vegetable oils, soy products, and avocado), and 26% carbs (from fruits, veggies, and some cereal products). The 26% of calories derived from carbs in Eco-Atkins equates to roughly 130 g. per day, which is low by traditional nutrition standards (around 225-350 g. daily) but quite high for typical Atkins plans (which tend to max out at around 80 g. Net Carbs).  Atkins, not surprisingly, states “Imagine how much better this group would have done if they followed Atkins protocols for carb consumption?”, but let’s presume that you intend to stick to the diet as described in the study. The greater leeway on carbs on Eco-Atkins is not an invitation to consume white breads, rice, potatoes, or baked goods, however.  You need to spend these extra carbs on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, oats, and the beans, legumes, etc. from which you are deriving much of your protein. One important reason to focus your carbs on vegetables, beans, legumes, and whole grains is the higher fiber content in these foods.  When dieting in general, and especially when on a vegetarian/vegan low carb diet, fiber is definitely your friend.  High-fiber foods take longer to digest, providing a greater feeling of satiety (that is, fullness), which can combat cravings and help keep your diet on track. A high-fiber diet helps promote bowel health, can lower cholesterol and reduce blood pressure and inflammation, and helps control blood sugar levels.  The value of fiber...

TL;DR in English: Define the details and benefits of the “Eco-Atkins” diet. Out-carb Atkins, but smartly. Fill up on fiber.

Either gather pinecones from outside or buy a package from a craft store. Short, round pine cones work best for this wreath, but use what is available. You’ll need around 40-60 pinecones, depending on how tightly you bunch them on the hanger.  If you pick up pinecones from outdoors, it’s a good idea to bake them in the oven at 200℉ (93℃) for about 20 minutes. This kills bugs and crystallizes the pine tar, which reduces the mess of the wreath. Break or cut stems from the bottom of the pinecones. Buy a bag of pony beads that are commonly used for crafts. They can be multicolored, if you intend to spray paint the wreath, or plain white. Use a hot glue gun to attach one bead to the bottom of each pinecone. When you glue the beads, make sure to glue the side of the bead to pinecone so the hole can be strung onto the coat hanger. Grab a wire hanger from your closet, or find one at the thrift store. Bend the coat hanger so it forms a circle. You may need to use a pair of pliers to get the shape just right, but it doesn’t have to be a perfect circle. Be sure to untwist the top part, as well, so you can add the pinecones. One at a time, stick the end of the hanger through the beads. Bunch the pinecones close together so they form a tight circle and the hanger is not visible. Alternate pinecones toward the center of the hanger and towards the outside of the hanger.  How many pinecones you have and the various sizes of them will determine how close they will fit together. Don’t be afraid to cram them a little bit so that the petals hook together. Fitting the pinecones together so that they begin to look like a uniform wreath is a bit of an artform. Move them around as you go until the wreath looks the way you want it to. Once all of the pinecones have been strung onto the hanger, grab the pliers again. Use them to twist the ends of the hanger together as they were in the first place. Make sure the top still forms a hook so you can use it to hang the wreath. If you don’t want to use the hook of the hanger to hang the...

TL;DR in English: Choose your pinecones. Glue a pony bead to the bottom of each pine cone. Bend a wire coat hanger into a circle. String the beads onto the hanger. Use pliers to twist the hanger back together. Spray paint the wreath or add decorations.

Save the third scoop for later. You will be using it as a garnish. If you don't like the taste of honey, you can use another sweetener instead, such as agave nectar. Try to use smooth almond butter if you can; this will cut down on the blending time and give you a smoother milkshake. If you'd like to cut down on the sweetness of the smoothie, use salted almond butter instead. From time to time, use a spatula to push the mixture down the sides of the blender or food processor. This will ensure that everything mixes evenly. You don't want any large chunks of almonds by the time you are done. You will need that space for the final scoop of ice cream! For a smaller serving, pour the milkshake into two smaller glasses instead. If you are making two smaller servings, then add two smaller scoops of ice cream into each glass. If you'd like, you can add a drizzle of honey on top for a final touch and boost of flavor.

When it comes time to make your escape, you’ll do so by first working your outer arm free. Having your stronger arm on the outside will make it much easier to generate the force you need to slip out of the starting position.  Straitjackets work by immobilizing the wearer’s arms across their lower abdomen, where they’re unable to harm themselves or others. You may not have the choice of which arm to keep in front of you if you’re ever being placed in a straitjacket for real (which is unlikely). For this reason, it can be a good idea to practice using both arms as your lead if you want to be prepared for any situation. Without attracting too much attention, grab a handful of the material just underneath your dominant hand and keep a firm grip on it. Bunching up the fabric before the jacket is cinched tight will give you 2–4 inches (5.1–10.2 cm) of slack, which will help you tremendously later on. If you’re not able to take hold of the fabric because you’re being watched or can’t move your fingers, don’t worry—it’s a helpful step, but not a necessary one. Fill your lungs with air and keep the muscles of your torso rigid until you’re strapped in. Once the straitjacket is secure, exhale completely and relax your core. The fabric, which was previously stretched to the limit, will now hang limply around your upper body. Lift your elbows as you inhale to give your chest more room to expand. Stand up perfectly straight until the last strap has been buckled. Then, let your shoulders fall and bend over slightly at the midsection. The more compact you can make your frame, the more space you’ll give yourself to maneuver. Recall what you were told bad posture looked like growing up and try to emulate this position.

TL;DR in English: Cross your dominant arm over the other as the jacket is being put on. Pinch the fabric on the side of the straitjacket. Take a deep breath as the jacket is being buckled. Make yourself as small as possible.

Tie the pony or horse to a post, rail, or crossties before beginning your stirrup adjustments. Never leave your horse or pony untied while moving the stirrups up or down. Alternatively, can have someone else hold the horse in place while you adjust the stirrups. Before measuring for your stirrup length, you need to be sure that the horse's saddle is on correctly. If it is not, the measurements you do will not be correct. Look both parallel to the horse and perpendicular, making sure that the saddle is square and that the stirrups are both the same length. If the saddle is not square, adjust the saddle on top of the horse before you start adjusting the stirrups. Find a starting position for the stirrup in which it is about as long as your arm. This will allow you to hold it out and do more exact measuring. Pull the stirrup iron straight out until it sits just under your armpit, and the leather runs the full length of your arm. If the end of the stirrup iron doesn't reach your armpit when your fingers reach the saddle, then the stirrup is too short. If it droops between your armpit and your fingers, then it is too long.  While measuring, stand perpendicular to the horse and the stirrups. If you have just begun riding, have shorter rather than longer stirrups so that you will have more control. Once you know the correct length, you will need to adjust the length by putting the stirrup buckle into the correct hole on the stirrup leather. Get hold of the buckle at the top of the stirrup leather and adjust the buckle until the stirrup is the correct length. Most buckles are tucked up close to the saddle but can be pulled down lower during adjustment. This will make adjustment easier. Loosen the stirrup on the other side so that it is about as long as your arm. Pull the stirrup iron straight out towards your armpit. The length of the stirrup from the connection on the saddle to the bottom of the stirrup iron should be the length of your arm from the armpit to the fingertips. Once both are adjusted, look at them both...

TL;DR in English: Secure your horse or pony. Check that the saddle is on correctly. Measure the stirrup against your arm. Adjust the buckle on the stirrup leather. Repeat the process on the other side. Keep the type of riding you will be doing in mind.

Commitment phobes may seem to respond well to affection when you are together, such as by responding well to compliments and holding your hand. They may even allow themselves to be vulnerable with you, such as by sharing personal things like hopes, fears, and dreams. However, these behaviors are forms of emotional closeness, which can be frightening to someone who has a commitment phobia.   After having a nice date with someone who is afraid of commitment, you might not hear from them for a while. This could be because the person is upset by how close they allowed themselves to get during the time they spent with you. However, keep in mind that all people crave emotional connection. The reason that the person may have been vulnerable or affectionate with you might have been out of this need. It just might have been too frightening for the person and they may have felt the need to avoid talking to you for a while after. Think about conversations you’ve had with the other person where you’ve brought up their behavior or something that upset you. If they turned things around on you and made it your fault, then they are displaying commitment phobic behavior.  For example, they may say you are oversensitive if you get upset they won’t let you meet their friends. You may be a drama magnet if you are upset they didn’t show up for your day. You are clingy if you want to spend more time with them. Watch out for sentences like, "You are so oversensitive" or "You're being ridiculous. You're making something out of nothing" or "You're too clingy. Why are you messing everything up?" Commitment phobes have a tendency to start analyzing the person they’re with after they start dating them. This leads to an obsession with negative traits, where they find all the problems with the person and ignore all the positive qualities. They want an ideal partner, which doesn’t exist.  Listen for the person to start pointing out your “negative traits” or things they think are wrong with you. For a commitment phobe, this helps them...

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to the person’s response to closeness. Figure out if they turn things around on you. Listen for talk of your faults. Decide if they ask about you. Figure out if they’re around during important events.

Stand the glass bottle upright with the opening skywards. This is the necessary position to perform this trick.  Make sure that you use a glass bottle. Using a plastic bottle (or a bottle made of any material other than glass) could be very dangerous. The mouth of the bottle should be small, but still at least half the diameter of the egg (like a milk bottle). Carefully light three matches. With extreme caution, drop them into the bottle. Wait a second or two. Quickly put the egg onto the bottle's opening, wide end up. Don’t wait too long to put the egg on the bottle or the matches will go out and this trick won’t work. After the matches go out, the egg will be pulled into the bottle. Then, you can amaze your friends with your egg in a bottle.

TL;DR in English: Position the bottle. Light the matches. Place the egg on top of the bottle. Watch the egg squeeze into the bottle.

ank regularly. Change half the water every week to ensure the tank remains clean. Fully clean the tank, including the gravel or substrate and the equipment (such as a filter), once per month to remove parasites that could harm your guppies. Be sure to test and adjust the temperature and pH of new water before adding it to the tank. When cleaning the tank, place the fish in a holding tank or in small containers full of water that meet the pH and temperature requirements. Fluctuations in temperature, especially if they are drastic, can stress out your guppies. Water temperature above or below the recommended levels can cause your guppies to perish. Use a tank thermometer to ensure the water temperature remains consistent. Add a small amount of hot or cold water (such as ¼ cup (59 m) at a time) to the tank to adjust the temperature. Repeat every few hours as necessary to ensure the change doesn’t shock your fish. It’s important to keep the pH balanced to ensure your fish remain healthy. You should regularly measure the pH of the water using a pH meter or litmus paper and adjust it if necessary. Lower the pH using an acid buffer, or raise it using an alkaline buffer. Alkaline and acid buffers are available from your local aquarium store and online. A proper filtration system is necessary to keep the water clean and your guppies healthy. Replace half of the filter media when you notice it turning brown. Avoid replacing all of the media, which can remove the healthy bacteria from the water and harm your fish. Filtration systems are available online and at aquarium shops.

Breathe through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Drink a cool beverage. Eat chilled foods. Use a cold compress.

Have your model squeeze a some oil in their hands and rub oil over their entire body so their muscles look smooth and bold. The oiled up appearance will make the model glow, especially against a dark background. The oil will also help define highlights and lowlights in the image.  Avoid using too much oil. The amount will vary depending on the person's size and the type of oil, but you want the model to look realistic, not slippery. You can use baby oil or coconut oil. Using a spray bottle, lightly spray drops of water over the bodybuilder’s forehead, hair, and neck so it looks like they are sweating. To create an authentic image, you want the bodybuilder to look like they just finished a workout.  Avoid spraying too much water so it looks like they are wet. Just a few drops will work great! A little water also helps capture highlights. Take full-body shots while the bodybuilder flexes their chest, legs, arms, and back.  When photographing bodybuilders, you want to show off all their muscles in 1 image. Try out both serious and playful looks. Snap some shots with the model facing you directly, then try having them turn around. Ask them to pause as they turn, and take some pictures from different angles. Snap a diversity of images, capturing the bodybuilder’s chest, back, and side muscles. While you can steer the photo shoot and recommend poses and body placement, it is fun and productive to let the model organically pose and show off their body. Encourage them to smile and be themselves so their individual personality comes out on camera. Give your models some freedom, and you’ll get great shots. Perhaps they love their abs the most and want you to focus on abdominal shots. Try taking some photographs with work-out related items in addition to your full body shots. You can use small props like weights or dumbbells in your images.  For example, have your bodybuilder pose with a workout machine or standing in a stretching pose with a resistance band. You can also use things like sports balls or free weights. To...

TL;DR in English: Apply oil to your model’s entire body to make muscles stand out. Spray a few drops of water on their hair and face. Have your model flex their muscles. Take shots from the front, back, and sides. Encourage the model to be themselves in their poses. Use props in your image to add some interest. Try taking action shots to capture the bodybuilder in motion.

Psoriasis usually presents as red patches with silver or whitish scales on top. Look for patches across your scalp, as that's the first sign that you may have psoriasis. It may cover your whole scalp or only be a few small patches. You may also (temporarily) lose some hair. Another symptom of psoriasis is itchiness, so if you find yourself scratching red patches on your head, it could be psoriasis. However, don't rule psoriasis out if you're not itching. Not everyone with psoriasis finds it itchy. Psoriasis will often make your scalp sore or painful. Your scalp may also feel like it's burning. It can be painful at any time, though it may become worse when you press on your scalp or run your hands through your hair. Because psoriasis results in crustiness and scales, you may notice bits of it flaking off into your hair. In addition, you may notice bleeding where you have patches, particularly if you scratch the areas, as you may take off scales that aren't ready to fall off. Bleeding can also result from dryness of the scalp. If you have psoriasis on your head, you're likely to have it elsewhere, though not always. Look for similar patches on other parts of your body, and check to see if your patches extend past your hairline, as that could indicate it's psoriasis. Stress, cold, and dry air can all trigger flareups in different people. Keep a journal of common triggers and note when you have flareups to see which ones bother you. That way, you can take steps to avoid them when possible, or at least have treatments ready on hand.

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to red patches. Notice itchiness. Check for soreness. Watch for flaking and bleeding. Look for patches elsewhere. Identify your triggers.

To make silver nitrate you will need a fume hood or outdoor workspace, concentrated nitric acid (70%), a clean glass container, a piece of pure silver, aluminum wire, and a hot plate. The size of the glass container and the amount of nitric acid and silver needed is dependent upon how much silver nitrate you are trying to make. The fumes released during this process are extremely toxic, so a properly ventilated workspace is essential.  Nitric acid has to be purchased from a chemical lab supply store. If you have to dilute the nitric acid, always add ACID to WATER while gently stirring, never the other way around. Adding water to acid can lead to explosions and injury.  Pure silver can be purchased online, at a precious metals dealer, or a local coin shop or show. The glass container needs to be clean so the silver nitrate will be free of impurities. Add enough of the nitric acid so that the piece of silver you have will be almost completely submerged.  Carefully pour the nitric acid into the container, taking care not to spill anything. Always wear protective gloves, eyewear, and a lab coat when handling nitric acid. Aluminum will not react with the nitric acid and will allow you to have a little more control over the reaction. Wrap the aluminum around the silver and leave enough of a tail so you can easily remove the silver from the solution if it starts to boil too much. Before placing the silver in the nitric acid, make sure you are outside or working in a fume hood. Once everything has been prepared, simply submerge the silver in the nitric acid. At this point, you should see a few bubbles as the reaction begins. Again, this reaction will create toxic gases, so please do not perform this indoors. Do not lean over the solution and breathe in the gases. Work in a properly ventilated fume hood, outside, or wear a gas mask. Place the container on the hot plate and heat the solution until you see the silver really start to bubble.  The solution will turn opaque during this process and you will not be able to...

TL;DR in English: Gather the necessary materials. Fill a clean glass container with concentrated nitric acid. Wrap the aluminum wire around the silver. Place the piece of aluminum-wrapped silver in the nitric acid. Heat the acid until the silver starts to bubble. Wait until the silver completely dissolves. Let the solution stand until it completely evaporates.

Think about your various perspectives and how they shape you and your world. Considering these views will help you start to make proactive changes.  List your perspectives on a piece of paper so that it’s easier to see and think about them. You can also make notes or comments on each part as necessary. Be very honest with yourself about your perspectives so that it’s easier to make changes.  You also need to think about how these perspectives shape you as a person. Do they tend to make you a negative person or make you less likely to take risks? For example, if you believe that a woman can’t be the head of state or a CEO, acknowledge this perspective and then consider how it influences and shapes you in every aspect of your life. You may discover that your perspective is clouding your judgment of all women. Your perspectives form throughout your life based on factors such as family, education, culture, and life experiences. Considering what influences your perspectives may help you to reformulate them.  Your life experiences including illness, travel, jobs, religion, politics, and your television and reading habits inform your perspective. Broadening your horizons with other experiences may help start to change your perspective on them and the wider world around you. The people with whom you surround yourself, including family and friends, influence your perspective of yourself and life. Confining yourself to certain people or types of people may hinder your ability to change your perspectives. Education and learning have a significant impact on your perspectives. Not keeping yourself continually informed can keep your perspectives from developing. Once you’ve had a chance to think about your perspectives and what informs them, envision how your life might be if you changed your perspectives. This may help you to see not only the benefits of changing your perspectives, but also may begin to change them.  Try the simple exercise of doing a handstand or laying in the grass and looking up at the sky. Both...

TL;DR in English: Think about your perspectives and how they shape you. Consider the sources of your perspectives. Envision how your life would be if you changed your perspectives.

Some scientists theorize people yawn because of a lack of oxygen. Therefore, taking a few deep breaths when you feel a yawn coming on can help stop it before it starts.  You should breathe through your nose and out through your mouth. This allows the most oxygen to enter and channels the air into your diaphragm.  Make sure, when you breath, you pull air into your lower abdomen and stomach rather than your chest. Cooling the body can help suppress a yawn. If you feel a yawn coming on, try having a cold drink.  Try ice water, iced tea or coffee, or cool juice. Soda and carbonated beverages might stop a yawn but they can cause gas and other discomfort.  If you're going into a meeting, class, or other activity where yawning would be rude consider bringing a drink with you if it's permitted. Having a bottle of cold water on hand can help you stop a yawn in case one comes on. Colder foods can prevent yawning much in the same way cold drinks can. Try to eat cold foods, like refrigerated fruits, veggies, cheeses, or yogurts. Sugary foods, like ice cream, could actually have the reverse effect as sugar tends to make the body tired. This can cause excess yawning. Stick to healthy choices when it comes to choosing cold foods. If water and food don't do the trick, try a cool compress. Run cool water over a wash cloth or towel and place it against your head. See if you yawn less afterwards.

Reading before bed is calming, and helps prepare your mind and body for a night of restful sleep. To get the most out of reading for bed, find a quiet space to read in. If you have guests or friends at your home, ask them to keep noise to a minimum.  The brain is not made to multi-task, and if you try to watch TV and read at the same time, you’ll find it is ineffective and frustrating. Turn off the noisy TV, and focus on reading. Light a candle to help you relax or set the mood while you’re reading. Reading in bed can be bad for your posture if you allow yourself to slouch. So, it’s important to sit or lie in a way that won’t cause you any neck or back pain. Ensure that you have appropriate supports by using pillows or neck rests to keep your back and neck as vertical as possible.  If you’re lying down or sitting on a couch, add something helpful such as a horseshoe pillow or a large slanted pillow. Small neck pillows may be helpful too. Changing positions every 30–45 minutes can also help you to avoid bad posture and can prevent you from feeling discomfort in your neck or back. Bring the book closer to your face to help you straighten out your back slightly. If you tend to feel sleepy when reading at night, avoid reading technical non-fiction, dense poetry, or heavy fiction that asks too much of you intellectually. These genres will be hard to follow if you’re drowsy. So, read a light novel or short story at night. This will relax your mind, and prepare it for sleep and dreaming. If you’re studying or finalizing work, consider doing the tough reading earlier in the night. That way, you can leave lighter reading for bedtime. Many different versions of the clip-on book light exist, but they all work basically the same way. Clip the clamp onto the back cover of your book, angle the bulb towards the page you’re currently reading, and switch on the light. Some book lights are designed to clip on to the edge of your reading glasses instead. Either type of book light will keep the light source directly over the...

TL;DR in English: Sit or recline in a quiet, calm environment. Prop pillows behind yourself to support your neck and back. Read light fiction at night to prepare yourself for sleep. Clip on a book light if you don’t want bright lights on in your room. Situate yourself under the covers with a flashlight to read undetected. Avoid reading in the dark so you don’t strain your eyes. Listen to an audiobook instead of reading.

Rock candy takes on a beautiful hue that is accentuated by it's natural rock shape. Pick a color and flavor that complement each other.  You can try one of these classic combinations or come up with your own:  Purple rock candy with lavender flavoring. Orange rock candy with tangerine flavoring. Pink rock candy with rose flavoring. Red rock candy with cinnamon flavoring. Place them evenly around the jar and lean them against the lip of the jar. Secure them in place with small pieces of tape, so they don't slide against each other while the rock candy forms.  You can use wooden chopsticks in place of skewers. A string suspended from a pencil is also a good base for rock candy. Cover the jar with plastic wrap. This prevents dust and bugs from getting into the jar while the rock crystals form. It takes a week or two for the sugar to crystallize into the shape of pretty rocks attached to the skewers. When you're happy with the size of the rocks, remove the skewers from the jar and lay them out to dry.

TL;DR in English: Mix the sugar and water in a large jar. Stir the mixture well.  Add the food coloring and flavor.  Suspend the wooden skewers in the solution. Wait for the sugar to form into rocks. Dry the rock candy.

Use your hands to combine the ground beef with 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) salt and 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) ground pepper until well mixed. You can add more or less salt and pepper according to your own tastes. If you want to try something different, you could also use a pre-mixed spice blend or another set of spices and herbs that suit your liking. Vary the amount based on how strong you want the flavor to be. Place the hamburger meat onto the center of a large sheet of parchment paper. Pat it down, using your hands, into a 6-inch (15.25-cm) by 8-inch (20.3-cm) rectangle. If you want to make the sliders more even in thickness, you could press down on the rectangle gently with the bottom of a baking pan or using a rolling pin. Cover the meat with parchment paper before using either option, however, so that the beef does not stick to the bottom of your utensil. Use a sharp knife with a smooth blade to cut the rectangular portion of beef into 12 squares, each measuring about 2 inches (5 cm) in width and length. As a side note, this technique can also be used of you want to the patties to contain a normal amount of ground beef but want them to have a square shape. Simply make sure that the size rectangle you form can be divided into evenly sized perfect squares. For instance, you could form an 8-in by 8-in (20.3-cm by 20.3-cm) square of meat and cut it evenly into four patties that are 4 inches (10 cm) long on each side. Refrigerate these patties for roughly 20 minutes before you plan on cooking them. Keep them covered until you pull them out of the refrigerator. Preferably, you should use an airtight plastic bag or plastic wrap.

Cilantro is tender, so it isn't usually necessary for it to be very finely chopped. The later in the cooking process you intend on adding the cilantro, the more finely it should be chopped. If you are using your cilantro as a garnish, chop it just enough so that it can be easily sprinkled over your food.

TL;DR in English: Decide how finely chopped you want your cilantro.

Having regular meetings on your calendar and knowing that you’ll need to be able to talk intelligently with other people about a book is a great incentive to keep reading.  Depending on where you live, you may have many genres to choose from.  Try sticking to your favorite genre first, just to make sure that you stay on track.  You can branch out after you’ve gotten into the swing of things. If you can’t find any near you, you can start your own.  You can use Facebook or meetup to create groups easily. The public library systems in many states or larger cities often choose one book and encourage as many people as possible to read it at the same time. They usually include programs like book talks and other events where you can join a discussion. If you do this with friends, it can be easier to stay on track, and you’ll have someone to talk to about the book. You can look for a broader forum that discusses multiple kinds of books, or you can pursue a specific artist or genre. On social media forums like Goodreads, you can see what your friends are reading, read book reviews, and keep track of your own reading so you can see your progress.  There is also an option to find books related to ones you’ve liked as well, which makes finding new books easy.

TL;DR in English: Join a book club. Participate in city or statewide reading initiative. Sign up for an online book forum.

One of the most obvious signs of diabetes is excessive drinking. As high glucose levels lead to dehydration, your dog will need to drink more and more water. A dog with diabetes will drink a lot more water than usual.  As a result, your dog will start urinating more. Often times, pet owners will notice that their dog starts urinating in the house or in its own bed.  Do not limit the dog's water intake. Your dog needs the amount of water it is drinking to keep itself hydrated. A key sign of diabetes is increased lethargy. The dog is tired because the sugar doesn't get taken up into the cells, so the dog runs low on fuel. The resulting sleepiness is known as "diabetes fatigue." Long term, diabetic dogs can develop cataracts. In addition, diabetic dogs run the risk of sudden blindness from diabetic retinopathy (a disease affecting the retina at the back of the eye). Diabetes that isn't treated can lead to further health complications. The vet will want to perform blood tests to see how high the levels of glucose are in your dog's bloodstream and to make sure no other organs have been affected by the diabetes. There are multiple tests (blood and urine) that your veterinarian will perform to diagnose your dog. Taken alone, any one of these tests cold indicate a wide range of conditions and illnesses, but taken together, they'll let your vet know if your dog suffers from diabetes mellitus.  A urinalysis is a chemical examination of your dog's urine. In the first instance the vet will ask for a urine sample for a dipstick test. If there's no sugar in the urine then diabetes isn't likely. If sugar is present then blood tests are necessary.  A blood glucose test will be performed next. This can be done on a single pin prick of blood. Again, if levels are normal then diabetes is ruled out. If the levels are high then a full blood panel is warranted. A CBC evaluates the level of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in your dog's blood stream. If the vet finds higher levels of white blood cells, this could...

TL;DR in English: See if your dog is constantly thirsty. Notice if your dog sleeps more than usual. Check your dog's eyesight. Visit your vet immediately if you notice these symptoms. Run tests.

" A different, albeit more formal, way of saying "I love you," this wording is very romantic. Here's how you say it: "Ich habe mich in dich verliebt." The phonetic pronunciation is [ɪç 'ha:bə mɪç ɪn dɪç fɛɐ'li:pt]. " To say this: "Ich mag dich sehr," which literally translates to "I like you very" (although a bit smoother in German). The phonetic pronunciation here is [ɪç ma:k dɪç ze:ɐ]. If you really want your compliments to leave a mark, be sure to add a term (or two — no, we're just kidding, one is enough) of endearment to your I love you's. Here are two specifically that you can use:     "Schatz," meaning "sweetheart" but literally "treasure." Phonetically, it's pronounced [ʃats]. Try "Mein Schatz, ich liebe dich!" or "Ich liebe dich, Schatzi." "Liebling," meaning "darling." Phonetically, it's pronounced ['li:plɪŋ]. Try "Liebling, du bist so hübsch." ("Darling, you are so pretty.")

TL;DR in English: Say "I have fallen in love with you. Say "I like you a lot. Add terms of endearment to your compliments.

Many schools have research assistant programs that can help you identify positions you may want to apply for.  Speak to your professors to see if they know of any positions or have any that they are looking to fill.  Schools often have job placement offices that can help you locate a research assistant position in either academia or the private sector. The professors you study under will often be aware of research assistant needs within their departments. If you are unable to find any research assistant openings that seem right for you at your school, consider expanding your search to other schools in the area.  Some schools will even let you work for school credit at another accredited institution.  Research assistant positions can sometimes count as internships if your degree program requires one. Speak to your school advisor about opportunities to get transfer credits by working as a research assistant at a nearby school. Contact the department of your interest at other local colleges and universities to inquire about any research assistant openings. If you are looking for a research assistant job in the private sector, a great place to start looking for openings is on job board websites like Monster.com or Indeed.com.  Looking for research assistant positions in the private sector is no different than looking for any other job online. Use search terms that are specific to the field you want to work in as well as the phrase “research assistant” for the best results. Social media platforms like LinkedIn can be a great way to look for open positions as well as to network with people already working the field you want to find a position in.   Start by creating a LinkedIn Account. Search for open positions and reach out to others in the field you are interested in to help you identify open research assistant positions. Research assistants often have to serve as a "jack of all trades" because of the varied work that may be required throughout your research.  Because of this, finding a professional research...

Why, aside from the obvious reason? Asking some credit card companies for a limit increase can cause the credit issuer to check your credit score, known in the business as a "hard pull." A hard pull can cause your credit score to go down, only about five or 10 points. If your credit score is teetering on the edge of solvency, however, those 10 points can be very significant.

TL;DR in English: Figure out which credit card you'll ask for a limit increase on.

Book titles should have their names in quotations.  “Catch-22,” “Jurassic Park,” and “War and Peace,” for instance, should all be enclosed by quotation marks.  Use quotation marks to indicate the titles of movies, too.  “Star Wars,” “Hannibal,” “Superman,” and other films need quotation marks around them. Other literary names and titles -- including poems, articles, chapter titles, and plays -- should likewise be surrounded by quotation marks.  “Romeo and Juliet” and “Howl,” for instance, are the correct ways to refer to those works. For instance, you might write a news article about songs such as “We Will Rock You,” “Just Like Heaven,” or “Tonight, Tonight.”  Always use quotation marks when referring to song names.  Do not enclose band names in quotation marks.  Treat these as you would proper names and use appropriate spelling and capitalization. For instance, “Mona Lisa,” “The Persistence of Memory,” and “Nighthawks” are the correct forms for those works.  Sculptures, however, should not be enclosed in quotation marks, though their titles are capitalized.

TL;DR in English: Use quotation marks around titles of creative works. Use quotation marks around names of songs. Enclose the names of paintings in quotation marks.

Moving to a new country is a big decision not to be taken lightly. Whether you’re moving there for work, love, or simply a change of pace, take time to clarify your reasons for wanting to move, including how the move will help you reach your life goals. You may find it useful to write your thoughts down in a journal. Where you decide to live will be largely based on why you want to move to Mexico — for example, if you’re moving there for work or love, you may not have much flexibility in where you live. While the climate across Mexico is relatively warm and temperate, there are variations across regions. Beyond weather, you may want to live in a city with more shops, or perhaps somewhere less urban.  The Central Highlands are home to cities featuring cobbled streets, cathedrals, haciendas and other remnants of the Spanish colonial period. The Pacific Coast is home to the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range, making for wonderful natural scenery, with a coastline featuring miles of beaches, resort cities, farmland, plantations, palm trees and more. It can get particularly hot in the summer months here, making winter the busy tourist season. Mexico City and its surrounding area offer a contrast of fertile valley terrain and all the pros and cons of big city life: art, culture, nightlife, overpopulation (over 22 million people), crime and poverty. The Yucatán Peninsula comprises 3 states (Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo) for a total of roughly 1.65 million inhabitants. It hosts a growing community of American and Canadian immigrants. Cancún, one of the largest cities in the Yucatán, is the most popular tourist destination in Mexico. If you have the time and money, you might find it helpful to travel around Mexico a bit and test out different areas through temporary housing rentals before deciding upon a more permanent residence. If you do not already have work lined up, you might research the unemployment rates and average wages of the particularly cities that you are interested in. You’ll also want to...
