You can find most if not everything you need to start your own miniature succulent garden in the garden department of your local home improvement store. This project requires at least one compact container, a few ounces of natural gardening soil, some small potting stones or pebbles and your choice of succulent plants.  The average price for succulent seedlings, gardening soil, and a basic planter will most likely be between $30-50. With all your supplies in place, you can put together a miniature succulent garden in as little as 15 minutes. When most people think of succulents, cacti are what spring to mind, but there are lots of other varieties to choose from. Some of the most popular if lesser-known succulents include Echeveria, aloe, cotyledon, sempervivum, and agave. Choose plants that you think will be a good fit for the type of garden you have in mind.  It may be worth considering factors other than just looks, as well, like the climate you live in, accessibility to sunshine around your home and how much time you’ll be able to devote to caring for the plants.  Browse the succulent selection at your local greenhouse or plant nursery for even more options. Make sure to consider how large the plants can get before you choose them. The exact size of your succulent garden is up to you, but in order for it to meet the “miniature” description, it should probably be able to fit in something no larger than a household planter. Ceramic bowls and dishes are one more attractive option, or you could keep things simple and go with a basic flower pot.   Think up some clever, unorthodox containers planters for your succulents. Miniature gardens in mason jars or fish bowls will look charming displayed throughout your home, while outdoor arrangements could be created in an unused bird feeder, wheelbarrow or even a pair of rubber gardening boots.  Whatever container you settle on should encourage proper water drainage or evaporation and provide enough space between individual plants so they don’t smother each other. If...

TL;DR in English: Gather your materials. Decide what type of succulents you want to grow. Pick out a container of the right size. Add decorative touches.

Your starting point for creating a promotional strategy should be to figure out exactly who you are marketing to. Identify this audience by factors like age, income level, interests, gender, and other descriptors. Your entire promotional plan should then be built around the wants, tastes, and sensibilities of this group. Make sure to define this group in as much detail as you possibly can. For example, imagine you are selling a new type of backpack for international travel. Your target market might be middle-income millennials who enjoy budget traveling. . Work to understand your target customer, including things like what they look for in a company, their ideals, and other factors that are important to them. Part of this process should be studying other successful businesses that are targeting the same market through advertising. What aspects of their products or company culture do they stress in their ads? Stress the aspects of your own business or product that match these ideals. For example, your target market for the travel backpack might favor living a "free" life and seeking new experiences over luxury or material things. You can use this information to focus on how your product fits into this lifestyle. Your next goal should be identify which media channels should be used to reach your target audience. For many products, online advertising may be an effective way to reach customers. However, this is not true for products targeted at older consumers, which might be advertised on the radio or TV. Other common options include newspaper ads, direct mailing, and billboards. Figuring out which is best requires assessing your target audience, and may work best after a bit of trial and error. Try increasing your spending in one media channel for a month and see if you see a rise in sales. Use what you learn to adjust your advertising policy accordingly. For example, your travel backpack might be best advertised on websites, as your target demographic, millennials, spend much of their time online.

TL;DR in English: Identify your target audience. Understand your ideal customer's preferences Match your target audience to the media channels they use.

Small bits of buildup can become caked on your clippers. In some cases, this may have accumulated in a crevice. This kind of unsightly buildup may even remain after sterilizing or disinfecting. Use a toothpick to scrape the buildup from your clippers.  After you've popped the buildup free from your clippers, loose remnants might remain. Wipe the area with a dry cloth after using your toothpick to remove any remaining buildup. You may find that more rigid tools, like tweezers or a paperclip, work best to remove exceptionally stubborn buildup. Allowing your clippers to soak in a cleaning solution or disinfectant can cause buildup to loosen or dissolve. Generally, the longer you soak your clippers, the greater the effect of your cleaning solution or disinfectant will have. It may be most time efficient to set an hourly alarm and periodically check your clippers to gauge whether or not they need more time to soak. You might be surprised by how effective a simple dry scrubbing with a stiff bristle brush can be. Take your brush and apply it to your clippers. Switch your scrubbing direction and angle frequently while doing so.  By changing the angle and direction of your brushing, you'll attack gunk and buildup from all sides, improving your chances of scrubbing it free. Since buildup has a tendency to accumulate in nooks and crevices, you may want to consider a small stiff bristle brush, like a toothbrush, to have better access to these narrow spaces.

TL;DR in English: Use a toothpick. Soak your clippers. Scrub your clippers.

Warm water will soften your skin and prepare it for exfoliation. A good rule of thumb is to soak in the tub or stand under the shower for 5 to 10 minutes before you begin scrubbing.  Water that’s too hot can dry out your skin. The optimal temperature for your skin is a lukewarm temperature below 105 °F (41 °C) (if your skin is turning red, it’s too hot!).  If you’re going to shave your legs, do so before using the sugar scrub to avoid stinging and irritation. Wash your skin before you scrub to remove sweat, dirt, and makeup. Otherwise scrubbing could push it further into the skin. With gentle pressure, rub the sugar scrub into your skin in a circular motion using the pads of your fingers. This not only sloughs off dead skin, it also boosts circulation and stimulates the production of collagen in your body, a protein that helps fight wrinkles and keeps skin looking young.  Start at the top of your body and work down. Be careful not to scrub too vigorously as it could damage your skin. There’s no need to use shower gel or soap following your scrub. For extra hydration and smoother skin, let the scrub sit on your body for a couple of minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Gently use a towel to pat your body completely dry. Once you’re dry, apply lotion or body oil to moisturize your newly exfoliated skin. Do this immediately after drying off while your pores are still open and able to absorb the moisturizer easier and faster.  Have a jar or extra virgin coconut oil laying around? It can double as a cheap yet effective moisturizer thanks to its high level of saturated fats. Only use it if you aren’t prone to breaking out.  Always apply sunscreen after exfoliating as your skin is more vulnerable. Use one that's SPF 30 or higher and has broad-spectrum protection. Sugar scrubs shouldn’t be part of your daily beauty routine. Over-exfoliating can irritate your skin so aim to use a sugar scrub no more than three times per week at most. Don’t use a sugar scrub on skin that’s sunburned or highly sensitive. You should also...

TL;DR in English: Wet your skin. Massage the scrub into your skin. Rinse with warm water. Dry off. Finish with lotion or body oil. Repeat once or twice a week.

Rub Vaseline, petroleum jelly, or another viscous substance onto the lens of the camera to make the picture come out blurry. In a pinch, try using sticky-but-spreadable foodstuffs like butter, jam, and peanut butter. Be careful to coat the entire surface of the lens. Make sure that you aren't caught on camera as you approach the recording device! Be careful not to leave fingerprints on the camera! You may avoid visual detection, but people might still be able to identify you based on the other evidence that you leave behind. Use duct tape, masking tape, or anything opaque. Be sure to cover up the entire recording area! Hide your face to avoid identification as you approach the camera. If you're able to manage it, you can simply block the view of the recording device with a larger object. Try taping or tying a bag or a piece of fabric over the lens. Obstruct the camera's line of sight by putting a screen, a board, or a piece of furniture in the way. You can cover up the camera with a shirt or a scarf, in a pinch. If you leave your clothing on the device, make sure that it cannot be traced back to you.

TL;DR in English:


Ask your teacher about the nature of the exam. Start off with a positive attitude. Use memory games. Test yourself frequently. Take breaks and reward yourself.

Dogs can often regurgitate, raise undigested food with no abdominal effort, without showing signs of other illnesses. If your dog regurgitates, he may just need his food to be raised off the floor so that gravity helps pass the food down into his stomach. However, if your dog forcefully vomits (acute vomiting) the contents of his stomach, this means his muscles are contracting. You'll notice your dog hunched up and the vomit will probably smell foul.  Regurgitation is usually a sign of esophageal issues or other problems in the early stages of the digestive process. For example, often dogs eat too much too quickly. In this case, the food your dog expels will usually be undigested and tubular in shape.  If your dog regularly regurgitates food, he may have a long term medical condition so put his food up on a chair, but also let your vet assess him. Think about your dog's recent diet, behaviour, emotions, and environmental conditions to determine what might be causing your dog's vomiting. For example, think about recent walks and whether your dog may have scavenged a carcass or eaten discarded food. Vomiting can be a common symptom of "garbage gut" where your dog eats things that aren't healthy which causes his body to force out the spoilt food. However, if he keeps vomiting, there may be a more serious cause including:  Bacterial infections in the gastrointestinal tract Intestinal parasites Severe constipation Acute kidney failure Acute liver failure Colitis Parvovirus Gall bladder inflammation Pancreatitis Ingestion of a poisonous substance Heatstroke An infected uterus A reaction to medicine Cancer If your dog vomits once, eats normally and has normal bowel movements, the vomiting was probably an isolated incident. If he vomits more than once throughout the day or if it continues beyond one day, take him to the vet immediately. Continued and repetitive vomiting should be investigated more fully by a vet. Your vet should be able to diagnose the condition by conducting a range of tests, including X-rays,...

TL;DR in English: Distinguish between vomiting and regurgitation to determine proper treatment. Consider the causes of vomiting. Assess whether the vomiting was a one-off or occurred multiple times. Examine the vomit to determine a cause of vomiting.

With each food pyramid that the USDA comes up with, fruits and vegetables (mostly vegetables) keep getting more and more emphasized. Your diet should consist mostly of the colorful stuff, along with lean protein and dairy. If all of your meals have fruit and/or vegetables (potatoes don't count!) as a main contender, you're doing it right. When it comes to nature's delicious gifts, the leafier and more colorful, the better. Potatoes and other starchy vegetables aren't nearly as good for and are loaded up with carbs -- and are made worse when they're fried in oil or slathered in butter. Make it a point to eat the entire rainbow every day. Protein is also an essential part of our diets. It builds and strengthens your muscles and keeps your appetite suppressed -- which means you won't be reaching for that late night Death by Chocolate, ruining the efforts you've made all day.  And as for dairy, eat a normal amount.  It's a good source of calcium.  Don't overdo it, though.  Those dairy-is-super-important messages you've been hearing are more indicative of the power of the dairy industry than anything; there's actually little correlation between osteoporosis and the like and significant correlation between high dairy consumption and prostate and ovarian cancer.  Don't be afraid of the saturated fats.  These fats, which were previously thought to be bad for you aren't actually bad.  In fact, low-fat products can contain added sugars.  One acceptable low-fat dairy product is greek yogurt which is high in protein.  However, don't be afraid of the fat content in dairy. . The benefits of water are practically endless. Your skin clears up, your organs get flushed out, toxins get rid of, you lose weight, and you feel more energized. And when you're drinking water, you're not drinking sugary, calorie-riffic drinks, hitting that temporary caffeine buzz and drinking empty calories. Win, win, win, win, win. Research says that if you up your water intake by around a liter a day, the weight will start slowly coming off -- with...

TL;DR in English: Stack on the fruits and vegetables. Think high protein and high fat dairy. Drink water Limit your consumption of processed goods and refined grains. Weigh and measure your food. Eat breakfast. Be food-aware at home, work, and school.

Lather up with shampoo to remove dirt, dust, and excess oils, then finish with a conditioner to lock in moisture and add body. You can repeat this routine once or twice a week, depending on the length and fullness of your beard.  There’s no need to shop around for beard-specific products. The same cleansers you use on your head hair will work just fine. Washing your beard too often can strip it of its beneficial natural oils, leaving it looking dry and unhealthy. This is especially true if you’re using harsh soap products. After washing and drying your beard, shake a few drops of oil into your palm and smooth it through the hairs from root to tip. Use your fingers to work the oil close to your skin. The result will be a softer, healthier beard that holds its shape longer.  The best time to apply beard oil is just after a hot shower when your pores are open. Not only does beard oil soften coarse facial hair, it’s also useful for fighting off itchiness, which is usually the result of dry skin. Combing is essential for easing out tangles and preventing a scraggly, unkempt appearance. Brush the hairs in the direction you want them to fall. This will give them a sleeker, more streamlined look. For best results, invest in a special beard comb. The teeth on a beard comb are strong, stiff and perfectly spaced to separate hairs while adding volume. Trim along your upper cheeks to keep the contouring tidy and distinct. To determine where you beard should end, place two fingers above your Adam's apple and shave everything below this imaginary line in a gentle curve from ear to ear. This will help you avoid the dreaded neckbeard. A neckline that’s too high can create the unfortunate illusion of a double chin, while one that’s too low may come off looking sloppy or out of control.

TL;DR in English: Wash your beard every few days. Use a quality beard oil. Comb out your beard. Maintain clean beard lines.

You can try crème fraiche if you are looking for a gourmet option. Like yogurt, crème fraiche is a cultured product that has a similar creamy texture and consistency to sour cream. This rich cream is milder in flavor and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. It has a higher fat content than both sour cream and yogurt, so it will not curdle when added to hot sauces. However, the higher fat content will cause it to melt if it is added to the top of a hot soup or placed under an oven broiler. Find crème fraiche in your local supermarket in the cheese or dairy department. Kefir cream is a versatile sour cream substitute that is cultured from cream and contains many beneficial enzymes and probiotics. You can try this option if you are trying to get more probiotics in your diet. This substitute is not as thick as sour cream. Because of its runny consistency, it is best used for baking or for whipping up homemade salad dressings and marinades. Because of its higher protein content, kefir cream can curdle when exposed to high temperatures. Add kefir to your favorite sauce or soup while on low heat or off heat right before serving. You can create a sour cream substitute at home by mixing butter and buttermilk. Buttermilk is sour milk, and it can be found in the dairy aisle at your local grocery store. To replace one cup of sour cream in a recipe, thoroughly mix ¾ cups of buttermilk with ¼ cup of butter. Because the mixture may not be as thick as sour cream, it is best used for baking or for salad dressings. Check for some heavy whipping cream to make a sour cream substitute. Heavy whipping cream has a high fat content and a creamy, thick texture. To use heavy cream as a sour cream replacement, whisk a cup of heavy cream with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to give it a tangy taste. The mixture should start to thicken and appear similar to the consistency of sour cream. Use this mixture as a topping for soups or mix it with chopped cucumber and dill to make a Greek marinade for chicken or lamb kebabs. You...

TL;DR in English: Consider using crème fraiche. Try kefir cream. Choose a buttermilk and butter mix for baked goods. Select heavy whipping cream. Use cashews to make a vegan sour cream replacement.

This will help you direct your studies logically. If it's an essay exam, for example, you may want to write practice essays. If it's multiple choice, you may want to test yourself before the exam. If your teacher has not explained his or her format, it's perfectly acceptable to ask about the format at some point during class. You want to go into studying feeling positive. A good attitude can help you keep up your stamina throughout the studying process. It can also set the tone for a productive studying session.  Think positive. Remind yourself of your skills and abilities. Think of studying as a way to build up your skill set and learn more. Avoid catastrophic thinking when studying. Try not to engage in thoughts such as, "I should have started studying earlier. What's wrong with me?" Instead, think something like, "I wish I started studying a little earlier, but it's okay. I'm still on track to succeed." Do not compare yourself to others when studying. Keep the focus on yourself and your abilities rather than comparing yourself to others in your class. Memory games can be an effective means to memorize difficult information. You can, for example, make up a sentence to help you remember a list or equation. A common memory game is the sentence, "Every Good Boy Deserves Fun." This helps students remember the five notes in treble clef (EGBDF). See if you can come up with similar memory games on your own. This is far more effective than simply re-reading the textbook. As you study, find ways to test yourself on the information. This will help you retain information later in a test setting.  For example, you can write down questions for yourself to answer later. If the teacher offers any practice tests, always take them. You can also use things like flashcards to help you memorize names, dates, and vocabulary. No one can study for hours on end without a break. You will study far more effectively if you give yourself breaks and rewards throughout the studying process.  Take short breaks to do something you enjoy....

Touch base your doctor and registered dietitian. Reassess your goals. Write up a meal plan. Design your exercise plan.

Instead of the simple envelope bag, you may decide you want to try your hand at a tote bag. This method has you crochet two pieces and sew them together. This style bag has straps for handles so will be well-suited to use as a purse or shopping bag. The beginning steps of this alternate project are the same as the envelope-style bag. You'll want to make sure that you are comfortable with the basic crochet stitches, have carefully selected your yarn and hook, and have thought about what you want your final project to look like. Once you've done that, you're ready to start crocheting your new bag! You will be creating two pieces and sewing them together. If you do not want a flap for your bag, the front and back pieces will be identical. If you want a flap, however, you'll need to crochet the back piece to be taller. For example, if you want a bag that is 12" tall with a flap, you'll want to make your back piece longer—crocheting to 18" will give you a 6" flap. Counting your stitches carefully, create a chain until you reach the length you'd like the bottom and top width of your bag to be. You will be crocheting either a square or a rectangle, depending upon the shape you want your tote to be. If your chain is particularly long, you may find it helpful to use markers every ten or twenty stitches to help you keep count. Once you've completed your initial chain that is as long as you want the width of your bag to be, you'll need to turn so that you can start the next row on the opposite side. You will need to do this every time you get to the end of a row. To turn your work, simply rotate clockwise halfway so that your last stitch in the current row becomes the first stitch in the new row you are starting. Keep crocheting, turning, and creating new rows until you reach the desired height you are aiming for. Remember that if you want a flap for back, the back piece will need to be longer (taller) than the front piece. Once your front (or back piece, depending on which you are working on) is as tall as you want it...

TL;DR in English: Review steps 1-5 from above. Decide if you will want your bag to have a flap. Create a chain. Turn your work, and then single crochet back along your chain. Continue to single crochet. Fasten off your yarn. Repeat Steps 3-6 for the second piece of your bag. Sew the front and back pieces together. Make a strap for your bag.

Warm hands and fingers are more comforting for the sinuses than cold hands and fingers. Cold hands and fingers can cause muscle tension. One option is to place a small amount of oil on your palm (about a quarter-sized amount). The oil helps to lessen the friction caused by your hands rubbing against your face. The scent of the oil may also help to promote relaxation. Good oils to use for a sinus massage include almond oil, baby oil, or castor oil. Just make sure to not get any of it in your eyes while you massage close to those areas. The indentation of the eye sockets are located on either side of where the bridge of the nose meets the ridge of the eyebrows. When pressure is applied to this area, it can help to relieve colds, sinus congestion, frontal sinus headaches and tired eyes. Use your thumbs. The thumbs are recommended because they tend to be stronger than other fingers. For other people, using the index finger may be more comfortable. Do whatever feels the most soothing and comfortable for you. Do this for one minute The amount of pressure you apply should be somewhere between pleasant and firm.  Then, press your fingers into the area and move them in a circular motion for two minutes. Keep your eyes closed as you massage this area. Move your thumbs, or alternatively, your index and middle fingers so that they are placed on either side of your cheek, just outside each nostril. When pressure is applied to this area, it can help to relieve nasal congestion and sinus pain.  Apply firm and constant pressure on your cheeks for about a minute. Then, move your fingers in a circular motion for two minutes. If there is a buildup of pressure in your sinuses, this basic massage may feel a little intense, and this is normal. However, if you feel any deep pain, you should stop and try an alternative remedy or consult your doctor.

TL;DR in English: Rub your hands and fingers together to warm your fingers. Locate the indentation of the eye sockets. Apply finger pressure directly on the indentation of the eye sockets. Apply pressure to your cheeks. Stop the massage if you feel any pain.

Select a fine-toothed blade and don't cut aluminum with a wall thickness of more than 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm). If possible, choose a saw blade that creates narrow kerfs (the notch or slot made by the saw). Since aluminum does not tend to close as you cut it, create narrow kerfs whenever you can. This can range from standard oil to saw wax. Since you'll be cutting metal on metal, you want to lubricate it to prevent sparks and slippage. WD-40 is the standard lubricant when cutting aluminum. Apply 5 to 6 small spurts on both the bottom and top halves of the blade. The cutting speed used for wood is generally going to be too fast to safely cut aluminum. For example, if you use a 10 inch (25 cm) saw, you can reduce the blade to 7.25 inches (18.4 cm). This will slow your cutting speed. If it's not possible to alter blade sizes, consider purchasing equipment with a variable speed router and use the slowest setting. These types of equipment are typically more expensive, but offer a degree of flexibility ideal for cutting aluminum. Loosen the bar within the jaw by turning it counterclockwise. Place the clamp upright, with the open end of the jaw facing your working surface and the bottom of the jaw underneath the tabletop. Place your aluminum into the jaw and tighten the clamp around it by turning the metal rod clockwise. As an additional safety measure, use a push stick to hold and move your aluminum piece into the saw. This allows you to cut your aluminum without getting near the blades. Hold the saw firmly with your dominant hand. Apply downward pressure as you move the blade along your metal. Be sure to work slower than you would with wood. Steady, even pressure is the safest way to go.  Remain clear from the kickback zone (where recently cut pieces are thrown clear by the power of the saw) when cutting. This is usually directly behind the saw. Alternately, you can use a bridge to secure your saw and reduce kickback. Always keep your fingers away from the saw blade. Retract the blade guard and hold it beside your...

TL;DR in English: Use a wood-cutting saw with carbide-tipped blades to cut most aluminum. Apply cutting lubricants on your blades or bits. Reduce the diameter of the cutting blade for better results. Use a C-clamp to secure your aluminum piece(s). Feed the aluminum through the blade, or the blade through the aluminum. Adjust the blade depth so the blade extends 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) at most. Use a jigsaw if circular cuts need to be made in the aluminum.

Most of the time, low blood pressure is not a problem unless it causes symptoms. If you experience any of the common symptoms associated with low blood pressure, consult a doctor to walk through your options. They will assess what’s going on and recommend medical treatment options if necessary.   Common low blood pressure symptoms include dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, nausea and trouble concentrating. Uncommon symptoms that require medical attention sooner rather than later include fainting, blurred vision, and vomiting. If your blood pressure drops extremely low, it can trigger a life-threatening condition called shock. Shock can damage your heart if you don’t address it quickly, and you may be at serious risk if it goes completely untreated. Low blood pressure is often a symptom of an underlying medical condition. Managing these conditions properly can help keep your blood pressure levels under control. If your blood pressure is consistently low, see your doctor to try to identify and treat the source of the problem.  You may have low blood pressure if you’re pregnant. Take a pregnancy test to see if you’re expecting a child! Low blood pressure can be a symptom of several heart conditions, thyroid issues, dehydration, anemia, or allergies.

TL;DR in English: See your doctor if you have low blood pressure symptoms. Get emergency medical care for signs of shock. Work with your doctor to treat any underlying problems.

When you are changing your focus from losing weight or meeting a certain goal to maintaining the healthy body you have fought hard to achieve, your dietary needs may change, too. Before becoming fit and healthy you likely met with your doctor and/or a dietitian, and now would be a good time to follow up and discuss your new goals. If you haven't met with either of these health professionals, now is a great time to make an appointment. This is especially important if, for you, getting healthy has involved beating an illness, recovery from surgery or finding a strategy for handling a chronic condition.   Meet with your regular doctor.  Talk to them about what your goals are, any diets or exercise programs you've done and any lifestyle changes you've made. Discuss any strategies to keep up your momentum going forward. A registered dietitian is a nutrition professional who will be able to provide you with information and a healthy eating plan. If you have been losing weight and have finally reached your target weight, you will need to change to a diet focused on maintaining your weight, not shedding or gaining pounds. Your dietitian will work with you to make a meal plan that meets your new goals and provide you with appropriate levels of nutrition. Your previous goals likely had to do with becoming fit and healthy. Now that you have reached that place, it is a good idea to set new goals to keep yourself motivated. Try setting both short- and long-term goals. Studies have shown that setting smaller, more achievable goals will help you reach a larger goal over time.  Small goals at healthy, maybe you want to run a 5k. Set a long-term goal to run a 5k in two months, and smaller goals leading up to the race — be able to run 2.5k by the end of the first month, or goals to run 5k in shorter and shorter amounts of time. Ensure your goals are realistic for you - just being able to stand unaided is a huge achievement for some people. Keep striving for higher goals. Maybe next you will run a half-marathon.

Secure the jaws of a wire stripper 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the end of one of the wires you’re splicing together. Squeeze the handles together firmly together and pull the jaws toward the end of the wire to remove the insulation. Repeat the process on the end of the other wire you’re splicing as well.  You can get wire strippers from your local hardware store. If you don’t have a wire stripper, you can also slice through the insulation with a utility knife. Just be careful not to cut through the actual wire inside. If you accidentally break strands off of a stranded wire, then the wire could cause a fuse to blow. Cut any remaining strands on the wire and try stripping it again. Get heat-shrink tubing that’s a gauge larger than the wire you’re using so you can easily slide it on. Cut a piece of tubing that’s at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) long so it’s able to cover the splice and some of the insulation later on. Slide the heat-shrink tubing onto one of the wires and move it at least 1 foot (30 cm) away from the exposed end.  You can buy heat-shrink tubing from your local hardware store or online. Avoid using heat-shrink tubing that’s too large for the wire since you may not be able to secure it completely. Don’t keep the heat-shrink tubing near the area you’re soldering since it could shrink from the heat of your soldering iron. Line up the centers of the exposed wires so they form an X-shape. Bend one of the wires down to twist it around the other wire as tightly as you can so it has a firm connection. Make sure the end of the wire doesn’t stick up or point away from the splice or else you won’t have as firm of a connection. Repeat the process with the other wire so your splice looks even on both sides. Alligator clips are small metal grips that work well for holding wires in place without them moving around. Place the alligator clips vertically on a flat work surface so the jaws face up. Secure each of the wires into 1 alligator clip so the splice is supported off the work surface between them.  You can get...

TL;DR in English: Strip 1 in (2.5 cm) of the insulation off the end of each wire. Slide a piece of heat-shrink tubing onto one of the wires. Twist the ends of the wires together to combine them. Clamp the wires in alligator clips to keep them off of your work surface. Put rosin flux on the spliced wire to help the solder adhere better.

Fermentation occurs best in a temperature of between 18 and 22 degrees Centigrade (64 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit).   Place your glass canning jar in a climate controlled space to achieve the desired temperature. An absence of light also helps the fermentation process along.  Place the jar in a dark closet or cover it with a thick cloth. After two or three days, the lacto-fermentation process will start.  To prevent excess buildup of gasses, slowly twist the top of the sealed glass canning jar until you hear gasses start to escape.  Twist it closed quickly.  Repeat daily.  Some specially-designed canning jars include an airlock that automatically ejects carbon dioxide from the vessel as it accrues.  Such vessels do not need to be burped. Consult manufacturer directions for more information about whether burping your glass canning jar is necessary. After two to four days in a cool-to-room-temperature location, the vessel should be moved.  The target temperature is about four degrees Centigrade (40 degrees Fahrenheit).  For small batches, the bottom shelf of the fridge works nicely. There is no single “right” time to end the lacto-fermentation process.  Most people wait one to three weeks to allow the lacto-fermentation process to work.  Once you’ve waited on the lacto-fermentation process as long as you wish to, remove the vessel and sample the flavor.  You can always replace the lid and allow the fermentation process to continue for longer (though removing the lid of the glass canning jar will slow the momentum of the process). Experiment with the lacto-fermentation process by waiting a longer or shorter time before tasting the product.  This will allow you to achieve the flavor you want.

TL;DR in English: Place the vessel in a cool, dark place. Burp your glass canning jar. Move the glass canning jar to a cooler location. Taste your lacto-fermented product.

After you’ve spent a little time honing your analytical skills, put them to the test by taking on new responsibilities. Taking on new responsibilities in your academic, personal, or professional life will enable you to practice and to further hone the skills you’ve been working on.  Apply for a promotion or a better job. Moving into a more challenging position at work will enable you to further work on and show off your sharpened analytical skills. Take on some volunteer positions. Certain volunteer positions like being a scout leader, little league coach, or a tutor for at risk kids will allow you to use your analytical skills and help others. Improving your analytical skills will do little good if you don’t work to challenge yourself on a daily basis. As a result, make a conscious effort to challenge yourself and to use your analytical skills on small things every day. Using your skills everyday will keep them sharp and make sure you are performing at your best in your private or professional life.  Try to solve complex problems without aid. Instead of using a calculator to compute a math problem, do it in your head or on paper. Avoid the easiest solution or path. While it might seem like a no-brainer to always do the quickest, simplest, or easiest thing to solve a problem, do not. Instead, test yourself by picking the harder way to solve something. Now that you’re confident in your analytical skills, move on and help others improve their skills, too. Not only will you be able to help others hone their skills, but you’ll continue to work on you own skills.  Mentor others at work. Consider starting a blog where you can share your experience with others. Work with your children, friends, or family, who might be struggling with education or professional issues.

TL;DR in English: Take on new responsibilities. Challenge yourself with little things. Instruct others on analytical thinking.

You can add just about any seasoning mix or dried spices to your potato chips, before or after cooking. Try paprika, pepper, garlic salt, or barbecue spice mix. Mix a Cajun spice blend or invent your own blend if you're feeling creative. Rosemary or thyme are excellent flavors to pair with potato chips, but a pile of dried leaves is not too appetizing. You can buy them in powder form, or infuse dried herbs in olive oil instead. Toss the potato chips in the olive oil before cooking for an extra-crisp, extra-flavorful result. Also try dill, oregano, or chives. Toss the slices from two large potatoes in 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of lime juice, a pinch of cayenne, a pinch of chili powder, and pepper to taste. These strong flavors pack plenty of kick and no sodium. These take more time and effort to cook, but the basic process is the same. For best results, line the pan with foil and coat the foil and both sides of the chips with oil. Cook at 325ºF (160ºC) for about 40 minutes or until they start browning, flipping every five minutes. You can add sugar or cinnamon instead of salt to make sweet potato dessert chips.

TL;DR in English: Add dry seasonings. Bake the chips with herb-infused oil. Add strong flavors to no-salt recipes. Bake sweet potato chips.

If the repairs are less than half of your car’s market value, then you should probably do the repair.  However, if, for instance, the repairs are, say $1,500 and the vehicle’s market value is $2,000, then doing the repairs is probably not worth it. Check Edmunds’ True Market Value Calculator or Kelley Blue book to determine the market value of your car. Do you even know your old car’s actual worth? This can matter when you go to trade it in, because the trade-in value will be counted off the price of a new car. Consider how long the repairs will add to the life on your car. A new engine, for example, can greatly extend the shelf life of some cars. Consider how nice it is to enjoy life without a car payment too! What could you do with that extra $300 or so? Within five years, a new car loses about 50 percent of its value. There are ways you can lower costs when you purchase a car. These are things to keep in mind.  Pay cash if you can. This will lower interest costs on the car, and that will make a huge difference in the overall amount you actually end up paying on it. Consider buying a used car. It’s best to consider cars under five years old with mileage limits under 100,000, which have had no refurbishing or major accidents, and for which there is a warranty. They say you should always buy the most house you can afford and the least car you can tolerate, because the value of homes often builds, whereas the value of cars depreciates the second you drive them off the lot. You can only put a mathematical calculation on some things, like the cost of repairs. However, there are some costs to a car that are intrinsic. Safety concerns include whether the car has working seat belts or dual front airbags.  For example, do you worry about being safe? Do you have to drive in tough winters with bad tires? Do you drive at night a lot for work? Are you in situations with children where you just can’t risk the car breaking down and being stranded? It might be worth the extra cost then, if there is one. A newer vehicle is...

TL;DR in English:


Make a joke out of the situation. Turn the insult on yourself. Confront the situation honestly.

Start the reel by sticking your left foot out in front of you and then stepping on it, while simultaneously bringing your right foot directly behind it into a closed position. Your weight should shift from your front (left) foot to your rear (right) foot. You should land on your right foot. Then, point your right foot in front of you and take seven quick steps forward. Then, lift your right foot and spring forward onto it. Take a small hop, landing on your left foot. Take seven quick steps forward, and lift your left foot and spring forward onto it. This should leave your right foot behind it. Give three taps, and then repeat on the opposite foot.

TL;DR in English: Take the first step with your left foot. Bend your right knee as you take a small hop. Raise your right foot up to your right knee. Point your left foot in front of you. Step onto the ball of your left foot.

Pick a mirror that’s big enough to fit as much of you in the shot as you want. For instance, a small wall mirror works if you just want a selfie of your face, whereas you need a taller mirror if you want a picture of your whole body. Keep in mind that you can crop your selfies, too. If you just want your face in the picture, but you only have a giant wall mirror, crop the rest of your body out of the photo after you take it. If you’re taking your selfie in your bedroom or your own house, make sure the space that will be showing in the picture is organized and clean. For example, put away any dirty clothes on the floor, make your bed, and check that anything potentially embarrassing, like your life-sized celebrity crush poster, is hidden. Natural lighting is the most flattering for pictures. To take advantage of this, open the blinds or curtains on windows to allow more light in and try to take your picture during the day when it’s sunny outside. If it’s nighttime, recreate natural lighting by turning on soft, warm lamps instead of bright overhead lights.  Avoid fluorescent or harsh white lights which dull your skin. Make sure that the light isn’t directly at your back. Otherwise, you’ll just be a silhouette. Adjust the light if possible so that it hits you in the front.

TL;DR in English: Find a mirror that’s the right size, like a full-length one for a full body selfie. Clean up the room that’s visible in the mirror if possible. Find a spot that has good natural lighting or that is well-lit.

The longer your phone’s in water, the more damage it will sustain. If your phone has been submerged for a long period of time, you may not be able to resuscitate it. If your phone is plugged into a wall charger and submerged in water, turn off power to the outlet before attempting to remove it from the water. Taking your phone out of water while it’s plugged in may result in an electric shock. Turning off the power at a fuse box is the safest way to do this. Leaving it on can cause it to short circuit. If it’s been in water, assume it is waterlogged whether it is still working or not. Don’t turn on your phone to see if it’s working. After removing the phone from the water, quickly gather some paper towels or soft cloths. Lay your phone on top of them while you remove the battery cover and battery. You will need a Philips screwdriver to open most phones. If you have an iPhone, though, you’ll need a special “pentalobe” screwdriver.  Read the manual to your phone if you're not sure how to remove the battery. This is one of the most important steps to saving your phone. Many circuits inside the phone will survive submersion in water if they’re not attached to a power source (battery) when wet. To find out if the phone is truly water damaged, check the water damage indicator. In most cases, the indicator is located in the battery compartment behind the battery, or on the battery itself, depending on the phone model. Normally, it will look like a white square or circle. If this is pink or red, your phone has water damage.  On many iPhone models, the water damage indicator is located on the side of the phone (in the SIM card slot) or at the bottom, near the charging port or headphone jack. After removing the SIM card, pat it down with a dry paper towel or cloth. Set it on a dry cloth or paper towel to dry out until you reconnect your phone to your cell network. If your phone does not have a SIM card, you can skip this step.  Some or all of your valuable contacts (along with other data) are stored on your SIM card....

TL;DR in English: Take your phone out of the water as soon as possible unless it’s plugged in. Disconnect the power if your phone is plugged in and in water. Turn your phone off immediately, even if it seems to be working. Remove your phone’s battery and cover and place them on paper towels. Take out the SIM card if your phone has one. Detach any accessories that may be on your phone.

Unlike event planners, who charge clients for expenses plus fees to cover their profit margin, event promoters often rely on attendance and ticket sales to recuperate expenses and earn pay for all of their effort. So make sure people attend your event! Depending on your operating budget, do as much as possible to get the word out. Methods include:  The internet, especially through social media Advertising in print (newspapers, magazines, etc.) Flyers and posters Radio and television ads Aim your advertising efforts at the appropriate audience. Don’t waste precious time and funds by, say, promoting a country-and-western act on a radio station that primarily plays R&B! At the same time, don’t limit yourself to the obvious. Know which demographics overlap so you can spread the word across the widest possible spectrum of interrelated interests, even through forums that, at first glance, seem to have little in common with the event itself. For example: Say you are promoting a concert featuring all-female punk bands. Use obvious methods to advertise it, like radio ads on stations that play punk music and flyers and posters at bars and venues that host punk shows, as well as record stores. In addition to that, though, think outside the box. Drop off flyers at tattoo parlors and vintage clothing stores. Blanket local colleges and skate parks with the same. Advertise through magazines and websites dedicated to feminism. Seize every opportunity to make contacts. Whether you meet someone on a professional basis or in passing, think of them as an extra mouth that could potentially get the word out. Always have business cards handy to pass along, and ask for their contact information in return. Keep your initial meeting light and friendly with a simple hello and introduction to avoid coming on too strongly. Then follow up with a more detailed email of how you hope to foster a working relationship later on. Say you promote sports events, like boxing. Although a bar owner or bartender may have little if anything to do with...

TL;DR in English: Advertise! Know your demographics. Network your heart out. Build a solid reputation.

Turn the unintentional slight into something you can laugh about by following the comment with a joke.  Saying “Just kidding! Can you imagine if that were true? Wow!” can help you to play it off and brush aside the comment Add some levity by saying something like "one of my many talents is knowing the perfect thing to say to anyone in any situation" and laughing. Tell the person you accidentally insulted that you were just kidding and the comment was more of a personal statement about yourself. Someone is more likely to let it go if you say that you were actually being honest about yourself and didn’t mean the comment about the other person. If you insult someone's looks, make up a story that turns your comment into a personal narrative. "I have always been self conscious about my looks, so I sometimes project onto others. Let the person know that you didn't mean to insult them and apologize honestly for the slight. Admit your mistake in insulting the person and try to wrap the comment with a compliment.  If you insulted the person by pointing out something that you don’t like about the person, be honest about it. Say something like, “I’m sorry that I hurt you. I just think sometimes you wear too much perfume to work. Maybe I just have a really sensitive sense of smell. I really like your outfit though! You have the best wardrobe, where do you shop?” If you sent an email to the wrong person, apologize and say that the message was meant for someone else, but that you really shouldn’t have said the comment at all.

Hydroponics means growing plants without soil. Water-soluble fertilizer is used instead. It can produce bigger yields in a shorter period of time, but is more expensive, harder to set up, and requires more careful maintenance. It is ideal for people who are going into the business of growing medical marijuana for sale. That said, hydroponics kits can be purchased that make this an attractive option even for beginners growing their own supply. There are active systems, which use mechanical devices to deliver nutrients to the plants, and the passive wick systems. While active systems can produce higher yields faster, they are also more expensive, more delicate, and require more maintenance.  Passive Wick System – The plant sits in a well-draining substrate above a nutrient solution, and nutrients are constantly drawn up into the substrate through a wick. Substrates: vermiculate, peat moss, coco peat. Ebb and Flow – A nutrient reservoir periodically floods the containers where your plants are growing. The solution then slowly drains back into the reservoir. Substrates: rockwool or coco peat. Top Feed/Drip Feed – Emitters drip nutrients directly into the soil near the roots. Excess nutrients then drain back down into the nutrient reservoir. Substrates: hydroton clay pebbles, coco peat, or rockwool. Nutrient Film – Multiple plants are placed in a tilted tray, with nutrients constantly flowing down the slope past their roots, then being pumped back to flow past again. An effective system, but best for experience growers as it requires a lot of fine-tuning. Substrates: rockwool or coco peat. Deep Water Culture – The roots grow in a constantly oxygenated nutrient solution. It is a low maintenance system, but a loss of power or incorrect nutrient levels can kill your plants. Substrates: rockwool or hydroton clay pebbles. Aeroponics – The plant roots are held in a dark, sealed box where small nozzles emit a mist of nutrients over them, providing a humid, oxygenated area for the roots. This is the most effective system...

TL;DR in English: Use hydroponics to achieve higher yields indoors. Choose your hydroponic system. Germinate your seeds. Fill your system with nutrient solution. Care for your plants during the vegetative stage. Induce flowering. Snip off any male flowers. Change your care regimen during flowering.

Sit down with your child when both of you are ready to make a dent into the subject. If you are preoccupied with work or if your child is too tired or hungry, learning won't occur as quickly as you want it to. Sit down for 30 minutes and don't allow any distractions for either of you. Energy and enthusiasm are very important for both of you. Turn off your cell phone(s), TV, and sit down at the dinner table with some munchies and attack those numbers. When memorizing, it's important to rehearse a small portion of facts before attempting to learn the entire chart. Remember: Your child isn't counting; they are simply memorizing. Presumably, they already know the basic concept of multiplying.  If your child is unfamiliar with multiplying, put it in terms of adding. That is, 4x3 is 4+4+4. Ask your child to bring you their math book and any resources they've been given. You'll be able to see exactly what they are studying and the teaching method used in their school. Have a chart or number line handy showing the numbers 0 through 100. A chart will give you the answers by correlating the row with the column. A chart is better for those just starting off as the answers are quicker to find. A number line is a bit more work. You can have your child circle the multiples of a certain number in pencil or code each number and its multiples with different colors. Show your child that each answer repeats, so, technically, they only have to learn half of the chart (score!). 3x7 is the same as 7x3. When they've learned the fact families of 0, 1, 2, and 3, they already know 4 numbers each of 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. After your child has mastered 0-3, move onto 4-7, and then 8-10. If you want to go above and beyond, work with 11 and 12, too. Some teachers will include a few harder problems for a bonus or to gauge where each child is at. It doesn't all have to be rote memorization with no clues or hints. The chart will easily point out things to look for.  All the multiples of ten end in zero. All the multiples of 5 end in...

TL;DR in English: Commit to a time. Start with the fact families of 0, 1, 2, and 3. Explain how the commutative property makes everything easier. Discuss patterns in the whole chart. Know the tricks.

If an outbreak of oral herpes, which consists of cold sores or blisters around the mouth, isn’t too severe, you can leave it alone and not treat it. Your symptoms may go away within one to two weeks without treatment. Use this option only if you feel well and are not likely to come into contact with anyone. There is no cure for oral herpes and treating it with antiviral medications can help heal outbreaks sooner and lessen the severity of recurrences. It may also minimize the chance of transmitting the virus to other people.  Common medications for oral herpes are Acyclovir (Zovirax), Famciclovir (Famvir), and Valacyclovir (Valtrex).  Your doctor may also prescribe an antiviral skin cream like Penciclovir instead of a pill. These creams have basically the same effect as pills but are very expensive.  Your doctor may advise using the medication only if you have symptoms or an outbreak, or she may recommend daily use even if no signs of an outbreak are present. An important part of living with oral herpes is communicating with your partner or partners that you have the virus. You can then decide the best ways to manage the virus as a couple. Oral herpes are very common and you shouldn’t worry about feeling any stigma with them. Talk to your partner about the best ways you can minimize the chances of infecting him or having further outbreaks. Whether your oral herpes are dormant or you are having an outbreak of cold sores, you need to take steps to prevent your partner from contracting the disease. There are several way to minimize the risk of transmitting oral herpes to you or your partner.  Avoid skin to skin contact when you have blisters or cold sores. The liquid secreted from the lesions spreads the disease.  Don’t share items if you have blisters or cold sores. This includes, eating and drinking utensils, towels, lip balm, or bedding.  Avoid oral sex if you have any cold sores or blisters.  Wash your hands frequently, especially if you touch your mouth or come in contact with others. Even though oral...

Look closely at your scars to figure out what color they are. Select a concealer or foundation color that's opposite to your acne scar color on the color wheel. This will effectively camouflage the acne scar. You could use:  Green concealer to cover up reddish acne scars. Yellow concealer to even out blemish areas caused by scars. Pink concealer to balance out purple or dark blemish areas. Use a thin brush that is slightly feathered at the end to apply the concealer. Place a pea-sized amount of concealer on the back of your hand and rub the brush into it. Brush a light layer of concealer over the scar.  You can use your finger to apply the concealer. Just take care not to apply to much or it may actually draw attention to your scar. You'll need to apply a foundation to hide your concealer, especially if your skin tone is a little different than the makeup or you've used a green concealer that's very noticeable. Apply your usual foundation so that your skin tone evens out and the scar is no longer visible. Take care when applying the foundation directly over the scar to avoid rubbing away the concealer. Let your foundation rest for a minute so that it dries a little. Take a large powder brush and apply your powder with broad upward strokes. You can use a loose powder that you simply dab the brush into and tap. Or, you can rub the brush into a pressed powder and tap it before applying. Remember to wash off your makeup every night. This is a habit that will keep your skin healthy and prevent future acne breakouts.

TL;DR in English: Select a concealer to hide the scars. Apply the concealer to your scars. Apply a foundation. Set your makeup with powder.

When you like someone, it's easy to overthink what you are going to say to him. If you type out a long message and ask him out in the middle of it, he may miss your question. Keep the message short and to the point. Send a text that only includes you asking him out.  Don't ramble by saying, “I've been thinking about what I could do this weekend because I'm getting bored being home all the time. Would you want to go out? I know there isn't that much to do but I thought that we could have fun together. Anyway, I'm not even sure….” You might want to ask out a guy from school. A teenage guy is more likely to respond to a simple text than to one where you ramble a lot. Text him something like, “Would you want to go out this weekend?” If you want to ask out a coworker, say, “We never get much time to talk one-on-one at work. Would you want to grab a drink when we clock out tomorrow?” You may be tempted to beat around the bush, or mention going out in a vague way that he could miss. When you text him, say that you want to go out with him and ask him if he would be interested in doing that. It's important that he knows you are asking him out.  For example, don't say, “I haven't dated much recently and you seem like you haven't either. Maybe we would be able to do something together. That might be pretty cool.” Say, “Are you interested in going out with me?” This is especially important when you are asking a guy out who you are already friends with. It's important to make sure they know you want to go out romantically. Say, “I know we hang out a lot, but would you want to go to Orion's party with me as my date?” When you ask someone out, it's not all that effective to say, “Do you want to go out sometime?” There is no specific timeline or activity involved. Think of something cool you could do together and ask him to do that. Also offer a couple of times that would work well for you.  For example, tell him about a party you are going to over the weekend and ask if he wants to go with you. Ask him if he wants to try...

Let the puzzle dry for at least 24 hours, weighing it down if necessary. Frame the puzzle.

. One of the most important steps in building a foundation of trust is to do what you say you will do. Even if it is a small thing, canceling or failing to follow through will create hairline fractures in your trustworthiness. Although the occasional failure to follow through may not seem like a big deal; repeated failures can add up. Over time, people in your life may come to see you as less trustworthy. Trust requires that people believe you will be dependable in the long-term. Thus, when you make someone a promise, you must keep it.  If you truly cannot keep a promise you've made, explain face-to-face why you cannot do as you said you would. Especially if your promise was a major one, an explanation might not be enough. You may need to make a new promise to make it up to that person. Be sure to keep this new promise, no matter what! Do not belittle the original promise. However small and insignificant a promise may seem, realize that the other person may place great significance on it. Any lack of follow through could be hugely disappointing. An important part of the definition of reliability is following through with your word many times over an extended period. By definition, someone reliable is someone you can almost always count on. Keep in mind that doing what you say only once or twice won’t build the solid foundation of trust in your relationships that you want.

TL;DR in English: Do what you say Honor your promises. Be consistent.

Use a pencil to mark your height on a wall, then use a tape measure to get an exact measurement. Next, get your current weight using a bathroom scale.  While the individual measurements associated with the suit are also important to get the right fit, your height and weight can help you estimate your fit. This is especially important if you're going to have your suit tailored, because height and weight helps tailors determine your “drop” of the suit, which is the difference between the size of the pants and jacket. Choose the type of shirt that you’d normally wear under a suit. This will help you avoid getting a jacket that’s too snug. For example, you might put on an undershirt and a white dress shirt if that’s what you normally wear. The over-arm measurement will help to find the width of the entire jacket, from shoulder-to-shoulder. Start your tape measure at the joint of one shoulder. Then, run it across the top of your shoulders, behind your neck, and to the joint of your other shoulder. When determining measurements, don't pull the tape measure tight. Instead, make sure it fits snugly around your body. This measurement is essential to get the right body-fit and a flattering cut for your jacket. To take it, raise both arms and run the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, underneath both your arms. Go all the way around your body. Then, lower your arms to secure the tape measure and record the measurement.  Your nipples are typically where the widest part of your chest is. Don't flex your chest muscles while taking this measurement, as this could make your suit fit too big. Place the end of your tape measure at the shoulder seam of your dress shirt. Then, slide the tape measure down your arm toward your wrist. Take the measurement at your wrist to find your proper sleeve length. You may also need to provide your coat in-sleeve measurement for a custom-made suit. This is the measurement of the underside of your arm. To get it, place the end of the tape measure in your armpit, then pull it...

TL;DR in English: Check your height and weight. Wear a dress shirt while measuring so your jacket will fit over it. Measure shoulder-to-shoulder to get your over-arm measurement. Raise your arms and measure around the widest part of your chest. Measure your arm from your shoulder down to your wrist. Get your jacket length by measuring from your neck to your thumb. Measure around your neck under your Adam’s apple.

Simply mix one cup (237 milliliters) of water, one cup (237 milliliters) of vinegar, and two tablespoons (30 milliliters) of baking soda into an empty spray bottle. This cleaner has a shelf life of 2-3 months.  If the smell still lingers, hydrogen peroxide can be applied to the urine spot; however, you should test it on your carpet in a hidden area first as it can discolor carpet. Products that use enzymes to break down the smell are commercially available and require no extra cleanup. Monitor the vinegar as it treats the carpet. Make sure that your pets and/or children are kept away from it. If you’re using hydrogen peroxide, it should sit for 10-15 minutes. Wipe away the remaining baking soda and blot the area dry. Once it’s dry, smell the carpet to determine if the smell remains. If it does, then you may have to use a carpet steam cleaner. If your carpet pad is soaked with urine, then you may have to replace it to get rid of the smell. If you have a lot of set-in pet odors, you may...

TL;DR in English: Soak up any remaining wetness. Apply a green dish detergent. Coat the spot with baking soda. Allow it to sit overnight. Spray white vinegar onto the dried urine spot. Allow the white vinegar to sit for five minutes. Soak up the cleaning agents with a soft cloth. Use a carpet steam cleaner.

Take it slow by sitting next to him whenever you see the opportunity. Sit next to him in class, at lunch, during break, or at a sport’s game. You can take this opportunity to put your head on his shoulder or hold onto his arm. He might be shy, so ask to sit next to him or do it without asking. Don’t be too close to him if it’s inappropriate during class. Holding hands is a sweet and simple gesture. You can brush your hand up against his to hint that you want to hold his hand, or you can simply reach out and hold his hand. Sit next to him while holding hands, or do it while walking down the hallway. The amount of time you hold hands can be as short as a few seconds, or as long as a few minutes. Try to hold hands for a short amount of time during school hours. Most people appreciate a hug, especially your boyfriend. A hug is a quick way to show physical affection without overdoing it. Give him a quick hug in between class, or a longer hug when you are saying goodbye at the end of the school day. You can give a quick side hug with one arm, or a full on hug. It is better to keep it quick during the school day to avoid getting in trouble. Spray some perfume on the back of your neck so that he will smell it when going in for a hug. Kissing during the school day can lead to trouble if it is overdone or too obvious. Instead, leave the kissing to the beginning or end of the school day and between classes when no one will be watching. Give him a quick kiss on the cheek, or a peck on the lips..  Avoid making out or prolonged kissing. This goes beyond flirting, and no one wants to see it in the hallway. Don’t feel pressured to kiss if you have never done it before. Only kiss when you feel it is the right time for you and your boyfriend. Eye contact can be a powerful part of a relationship. It takes confidence to make and maintain eye contact. Your boyfriend might shy away at first, but don’t be afraid to make eye contact. You can make eye contact from across the room, or while holding a conversation.  Lean into him when...

TL;DR in English: Sit next to him. Hold his hand. Hug him. Give him a quick kiss. Make eye contact.

If you aren't interested in disassembling the puzzle at any point, you can use a specialized glue to permanently attach the pieces together. This can create a glossier, sturdier piece of artwork, but may reduce the value of your puzzle. Because of this, this method is not recommended for antique or valuable puzzles, and some puzzle hobbyists do not use it at all. Because your assembled jigsaw puzzle may have slightly different dimensions than listed on the box, use a ruler or tape measure to get an accurate measurement before selecting a frame. Some craft shops sell frames in pieces, which you can reassemble into rectangular frames with a custom length/width combination. Select poster board, foam board, or sturdy cardboard approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick, and cut a rectangle that can be inserted into your frame.This material will provide a backing for the puzzle, keeping it flat and in the frame. A utility knife is recommended to make even cuts, along with a T-square or protractor to ensure the sides are cut to at 90º angle. Avoid using thin cardboard or other easily bent material, as this may cause the puzzle to warp over time. Protect the surface underneath the puzzle by carefully slipping something flat and disposable, such as wax paper, underneath the puzzle. Small bumps and loose pieces can be evened out before gluing with a rolling pin. Press down on the rolling pin as you move it across the puzzle surface several times. Purchase specialized jigsaw puzzle glue from a craft store or online. Use a paintbrush to apply this glue across the surface of the puzzle, covering the entire area with a thin layer. Pay special attention to the cracks between pieces. If your puzzle glue comes in powdered form, read the instructions to learn how to prepare it before use. Your bottle of puzzle glue may contain specific directions, telling you how long to wait for the glue to dry. If it does not, leave the glued puzzle alone for at least two hours. Test to see if its ready by gently lifting one end of the puzzle. If...

There are notable differences between the two styles of amplification. Tube amps use vacuum tubes in both the pre-amplification and power amplification stages, whereas solid-state amps use transistors for all stages. This can, and usually does result in markedly different tones.    Solid-state amps are known for delivering bright, clean, accurate sounds. They respond quickly to your playing, and are far more rugged than tube amps: think of the difference between a light bulb (tube) and an LED (solid state). Throw both of them on the floor, and you'll be scooping up one of them with a dustpan! Also, with advances in technology, many solid-state amps are loaded with a wide array of modeled amp sounds, giving you a lot of versatility.      Solid-state amps from a given manufacturer tend to sound the same, which can be a benefit when you need a reliable, repeatable tone. They are also notably lighter—both in weight, and on the pocketbook—than their tube brethren. This versatility and ruggedness comes at the expense of warmth of tone. While this is an entirely subjective evaluation, there are some differences that account for this: when pushed into distortion, a solid-state amp's waveform shows a hard-clipped edge and harmonics that stay strong through the range of hearing. By comparison, a tube amp pushed to distortion has a soft clipping edge, and harmonics that fall off well within the limits of hearing, giving tube amps their famed warmth.  Tube (valve) amps have a certain unmeasurable "something" to them that makes them the most popular type of amp. The sound of a tube amp has been described as "thick," "creamy," "fat," and "rich"—adjectives that would pack on the pounds if amps were food!      Tube amps can vary slightly in tone from amp to amp, and certainly do from player to player. For some players, their amp is the one that, in conjunction with their guitar, defines their sound. Tube distortion is softer, and to most, more pleasing to the ear, and when pushed hard, adds some compression to the dynamics...

TL;DR in English: Compare tube versus solid state. The drawbacks of tube amps are generally more practical than sonic. Beware of type-casting.

A weft of hair is a single row of hair to be clipped between your own layers of hair to add length. You can buy either synthetic or human hair in wefts, with the latter being the pricier of the two options.  Match your color as best as possible. Hair extensions are intended to look natural, which they are unable to do if there is a simple discrepancy in hair color. Find the right length of hair. Although you obviously want your extensions to be longer than your current length, avoid adding a dramatic amount of difference between your natural length and the extensions. Not only will it obviously look fake, but it will cost a significantly higher amount of money. Stick to 4 inches (10.2 cm) of extra length at the most. You can do this by pulling all of the hair on the top of your head into a ponytail. Leave a thin section of hair down against your neck/back. As you add extensions, you will continue to let down more sections of hair of about an inch each. Take a back-comb and rat your hair at the roots. You want your hair to gain ½ to a full inch in volume at the base of the strands.  Teasing your hair gives the extensions something to stick to. Natural hair is too slippery for the clips to hold long without sliding down your strands. Ratting the roots of your  hair also provides coverage for the clips. This makes it more difficult to tell you are wearing extensions. You should be able to dig into the teased section of hair to allow for the best stick.  Be sure to evenly space the extensions, so that you have a level length of hair all the way around your head. You can give your hair the look of layers. Apply the extensions in evenly spaced vertical sections. You may need to cut the extensions to blend them in with your natural hair. Feel free to cut or trim your extensions to match the rest of your hair. You are not required to leave them as-is from the packaging. Repeat the same steps as above, by teasing your hair at the roots and adding in one weft at a time. Tease your hair at the roots and brush out the...

TL;DR in English: Purchase wefts of hair that match your hair color. Divide your hair into sections. Tease your hair. Take one weft and clip to to your hair at the roots. Remove another section of hair from your ponytail. Finish your hair style.

The aluminum foil from your kitchen is fine to use. Cover the decal, and hold it with tape or your hand. The foil reflects thermal energy back into the object it is covering, so the foil will help the decal warm up more than if you leave it exposed, once you take a hairdryer to it.  You can use take a hairdryer to the decal without foil, though it may not heat up as well. Any type of hair dryer will work. Plug in the hairdryer to the nearest socket. Make sure that the bathtub or surrounding area is dry before turning on the hairdryer. Heat it on a hot, high setting until the sticker has softened. This will probably take a couple of minutes. Slowly go over every part of the sticker with the dryer. Keep the hair dryer at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from the sticker while you dry. The sticker should be soft by the time you finish drying. Pull it up and peel it back slowly starting at one end of the sticker. The sticker may not peel off easily and begin to tear. If this happens, take your fingers and lift up the decal around the edges, slowly working towards the center. Do this until the sticker comes completely comes off. Try to keep the toy and clear adhesive film layer together as you pull the decal off. If the decal is stubborn and won’t come off, you will need to scrape it off. Take a plastic ice scraper and work around the edges or the parts of the sticker that has not come off. Continue to scrape until there are no remnants of the decal left. You can also use a box cutter or razor if a plastic ice scraper is not available. Metal can leave marks, so be careful to not to cut into the bathtub. A sticky residue may still be left over after removing the sticker. Spray WD-40 onto the sticky surface, and wipe it off with a rag or paper towel. Scrub the bathtub surface until there is no adhesive residue left. You can use water and white vinegar to remove sticky residue if WD-40 is not available. WD-40 will leave a greasy residue, so you will need to wash the surface where the decal was to remove it. You should...

Find the first and second numbers in the problem. For example, in 6 + (-2), 6 would be the first number and -2 would be the second. Put it on the first number in your problem. In 6 + (-2) you would start by putting your finger on 6 on your number line. Adding a negative number is very similar to regular subtraction. You have now moved 1 space. This will make sure you end on the answer to your problem. For example, if the second number in your problem is -2, you should have moved your finger to the left 2 spaces. This is the answer to your addition problem. For example, if your problem was 6 + (-2), you would have started with your finger on 6. You would have moved your finger to the left two spaces, ending on 4. 6 + (-2) = 4. This is to check your answer. If you get an answer when you check your problem, try again to see where you made your mistake.

TL;DR in English: Look at your math problem. Put your finger on your number line. Move your finger to the left to the next hashmark and number.

Proximity alarms will alert you when equipment is removed outside of a specific radius. Verify that the appropriate radius is programmed into the alarm receivers. This will prevent false alarms from occurring when employees take laptops with them to meetings or to other sections of the office building. A central location will accurately track computers based on the radius programmed into the transmitter. Keep the receivers with your security staff if possible, since your security guards may be the best source for assistance in the event office computers are being stolen.

Then, whip out a small game console, such as a DS, DSi, 3DS, DS Lite, PSP, PS Vita, the Wii U Gamepad, Nintendo Switch,  or any other small device you may have. Make sure to keep the volume low if you're in a small house or your parents are just light sleepers. If you don't have a small game console, watch TV. If you can't watch TV, read a book. Do anything you can to try to stay awake! Use an iPod, MP3 Player, or another music device, with headphones. Wait for about an hour after your parents go to bed, to be safe. If you can, try to keep one ear free so you can hear your parents if they get up. If none are available, listen to it at a low volume. Be careful! Don't wake up your parent(s)! Make sure to have a plan if they wake up to check on you or something like that, like stuff everything under a pillow or your sheets. Observe how you sleep and try to look like how you "normally" sleep. Wait a couple of minutes till you take out your devices or music just in case they come back.

If your jewelry is more tarnished, you may need to get actual jewelry polish to clean the necklace. Alternatively, you can make a paste of baking soda and water and rub it into the necklace as a polish.  Another option is half a cup of lemon juice with a tablespoon of olive oil.  You can also use toothpaste. The ingredient in the toothpaste that polishes the silver is hydrated silica, so look for that ingredient; tartar control toothpastes will have more of this ingredient. However, whatever you use on your teeth is likely fine for silver, though gel varieties likely won't work as well. Put a small dab of the paste on the necklace. If you have precious or semi-precious stones on your necklace, this method may not be the best one, though you can try to avoid the stone. Just a pea-sized dab should be enough, and you can always add more later. For this part, you can start out just using your fingers, if you'd like, though only do so if you're using a natural paste; grab a microfiber cloth if you're using professional silver polish. Rub the paste into the silver, including the chain if it's also tarnished. Basically, it's like your rubbing soap into the silver, but you're using a paste instead. You can also use a soft-bristled toothbrush (one you're not going to brush with!), but you can end up scratching it if you try to brush too hard. Once the tarnish is mostly gone, run the necklace under water. Carefully wash off all the paste, as any left on will look funny. You can repeat the process, as well, if you didn't manage to get all the tarnish off.

TL;DR in English: Try other polishes. Apply the paste. Scrub the silver. Rinse the silver.
