Both NiMh and NiCd batteries can be recharged over time, but you might want to think about investing in NiMh batteries over NiCd. NiMh batteries use newer technology to store more charge and can also be fast, slow, or trickle charged. Check the product in which you plan on using your batteries before purchasing your batteries. Certain equipment may require either NiMh or NiCd to operate best. These are one of the least expensive varieties of battery chargers available on the consumer market. A pre-set shutoff timer will charge all batteries in the charger for a period of time and shut off once that time has elapsed. These chargers are less precise than smart chargers, which can lead to under- and over-charging. Take this into account when buying a timer charger; over-charged batteries can be ruined and cost you more money. Smart chargers can be more expensive initially, but these are equipped with sensors that detect missing voltage in your batteries. This way, your charger will continue to charge your battery until it has reached full charge, saving you the cost of batteries ruined from over-charging. The rechargeable batteries you bought earlier will also help you to decide which charger you invest in. Some chargers are intended for only NiMh or NiCd batteries, though some universal chargers are available. Most AA and AAA battery chargers can be used for both NiMh and NiCd batteries, though you should always consult your manual to be certain. You should never attempt to charge a battery that isn't intended to be rechargeable. This can cause a dangerous explosion from hydrogen gas buildup and may ruin your battery or charger as well. Check the manual that came with your charger to know the recommended safety procedure for your charger, but generally you should:  Keep your charger and batteries away from fire or intense heat. Do not charge your batteries around or on top of flammable materials, including flammable gases, like gasoline vapor. Insert your batteries into your charger firmly before plugging in...

TL;DR in English: Learn the differences in battery chemistry to prolong battery life. Evaluate time controlled chargers. Optimize with smart chargers. Purchase an appropriate charger. Follow safe usage guidelines. Wait until the battery is completely drained for NiCds. Check for noted charge rates. Set your charger, if necessary. Insert your batteries. Remove all charged cells.

It doesn’t matter which hand you use, but you should only be using one hand. It may be easier to use your dominant hand. Your index finger and thumb should be making a ring shape. You want your teeth to be completely covered. Your lips should be curled into your mouth. Curl your tongue up so the end is pointing toward the roof of your mouth. Then, move it back in your mouth so the space in the front of your mouth is open. There should be about .5 inches (1.3 cm) between your tongue and your front teeth. Push your fingers into your mouth until they touch your tongue. The ring shape between your fingers should be horizontal now. Keep your lips stretched over your teeth. The only gap between your lips should be the space between your fingers. That’s where the air will come out when you whistle. Blow out forcefully, but not so much that it hurts. Don't worry if you don't make a whistling sound at first. It may take some practice before you're able to whistle with your fingers. If you don't make a whistling sound, take in another deep breath and try again. Eventually you'll get it!

TL;DR in English: Press the end of your index finger and thumb together. Open your mouth and stretch your lips over your teeth. Move your tongue back in your mouth. Put your index finger and thumb in your mouth. Take a deep breath and close your mouth around your fingers. Blow air through your fingers and out of your mouth.

There are no set words to the prayer of salvation because the words aren't what will get you into heaven. It’s the intention in your heart to become a follower of Jesus. Because of that, don’t say the prayer of salvation unless you’re truly ready to dedicate yourself to a Christian life, or else it will be meaningless. Although you may still sin sometimes after you become a born-again Christian, you should strive to always be as much like Jesus as you can be. In Romans 3:23, the Bible says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Even if you’ve tried hard your whole life to be a good person, there has certainly been a time when you told a lie, disrespected your parents, envied someone else’s success, or committed some other sin. The first step in being forgiven for that sin is to admit that it occurred in the first place.  For instance, you might start your prayer by saying something like, “Dear God, I know I have sinned and I’m not perfect.” Even one sin, no matter how large or small, is enough to keep you apart from God for eternity. James 2:10 says: "For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it." Romans 6:23 specifies the penalty for sin, and the gift that Jesus gave sinners: "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." for those sins and ask for God’s forgiveness. When you become a follower of Christ, you won’t suddenly become perfect. You’ll still face the temptation to sin, and sometimes you might even give in to that temptation. It’s human nature, which is why Jesus’ sacrifice was so powerful. It doesn’t just cover your past sins, but any future sins as well, as long as you’re sincere about following him and trying to do better.  For example, you might say, “Lord, please forgive me for my sins. I’m sorry that I haven’t lived up to what you expect of me.” To repent means more than just to apologize. It means to be truly sorry for your sins and to turn away from them. 1 John 1:9 says...

TL;DR in English: Pray the prayer of salvation when you’re ready to commit your life to Christ. Open the prayer by admitting that you have sinned. Repent Pledge to follow Jesus for the rest of your life.

You can hunt for gold with a simple gold pan and not much else. However, there are some other items that may make your expedition easier. Some items to pack for your gold-hunting expedition include:  Gold pan Shovel Grizzly pan (pan with holes in the bottom for sifting) Magnifying glass Tweezers Small magnet Glass vials to hold gold Wear something warm if the weather will be cold. Dress in layers so you can easily remove them if you become too warm. If the weather will be hot, opt for shorts and a T-shirt. Make sure to bring sunscreen as well to protect any uncovered skin. Some other items you might need include:  Rubber gloves Rubber boots Comfortable hiking shoes An extra pair of socks Winter coat or waterproof jacket Sunglasses Hunting for gold can take all day and it can be physically exhausting. Make sure that you bring plenty of water and food to keep you fueled for your gold-hunting activities. Some good options include:  Trail mix (dried fruit and nuts) Granola Pretzels Fresh fruit Jerky Thermos of coffee or an energy drink Your best chance for finding gold nuggets is to go to locations where other people have found gold before. Check online and talk with other people who have experience searching for gold nuggets. Also, check with your national, state or provincial geological survey office for information or maps. You can also check online for maps to old gold mines.

TL;DR in English: Gather materials for your gold-hunting expedition. Dress appropriately for the weather and location. Pack snacks, water, and any other items you might need. Research locations where gold has been found before.

Calculating the expected value (EV) of a variety of possibilities is a statistical tool for determining the most likely result over time. To begin, you must be able to identify what specific outcomes are possible. You should either list these or create a table to help define the results. For example, suppose you have a standard deck of 52 playing cards, and you want to find the expected value, over time, of a single card that you select at random. You need to list all possible outcomes, which are: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, in each of four different suits. Some expected value calculations will be based on money, as in stock investments. Others may be self-evident numerical values, which would be the case for many dice games. In some cases, you may need to assign a value to some or all possible outcomes. This might be the case, for example, in a laboratory experiment where you might assign a value of +1 to a positive chemical reaction, a value of -1 to a negative chemical reaction, and a value of 0 if no reaction occurred. In the example of the playing cards, traditional values are Ace = 1, face cards all equal 10, and all other cards have a value equal to the number shown on the card. Assign those values for this example. Probability is the chance that each particular value or outcome may occur. In some situations, like the stock market, for example, probabilities may be affected by some external forces. You would need to be provided with some additional information before you could calculate the probabilities in these examples. In a problem of random chance, such as rolling dice or flipping coins, probability is defined as the percentage of a given outcome divided by the total number of possible outcomes.  For example, with a fair coin, the probability of flipping a “Head” is 1/2, because there is one Head, divided by a total of two possible outcomes (Heads or Tails). In the example with the playing cards, there are 52 cards in the deck, so each individual card has a probability of 1/52....

TL;DR in English: Identify all possible outcomes. Assign a value to each possible outcome. Determine the probability of each possible outcome. Multiply each value times its respective probability. Find the sum of the products. Interpret the result.

Use black felt and elastic to make Robin’s mask. Robin’s mask has a unique shape, so print out a template for Robin’s mask or draw your own template on paper.  Use the template to trace the mask shape onto the felt and cut the mask shape out of the felt. Sew or use fabric glue to attach one end of the elastic to the side of the mask. Put the mask on your eyes, and pull the elastic around your head to measure where to cut the elastic. Cut the elastic and then attach the other end to the mask by gluing or sewing it. Classic Robin wears a mask in a style of a sleep mask or a sash of fabric. Robin wears a black belt with a gold buckle. A military style belt works best if you want to buy a belt. To craft a belt, you can use a 2 inch strip of black fabric or felt and glue on a yellow buckle made from felt or fabric. Modern Robin wears a yellow belt. Glue a yellow circle made out of fun foam on the buckle. Robin wears a long cape in addition to his costume. The type of Robin you want to be depends on what color cape you should wear. To be classic Robin, you should wear a short length completely yellow cape. To be modern Robin, you should wear a long length black cape or a black cape with a yellow underside.  Get a rectangle of fabric that is about a foot wider than your body and long enough to drape on your shoulders and extend down to your calves. If you want a black and yellow cape, sew together the black and yellow fabric on all four sides. Cut the fabric into a cape shape. You can use a cape template or freehand cut the cape. Fold the fabric rectangle in half. Cut one end of the rectangle so that the folded side has a semi circle cut out about 1 ½ inches from the top and the non folded side has a rounded corner. The semi circle should be wide enough for your neck. Cut the folded side above the semi circle apart to create the neck hole. Glue or sew a ribbon onto either side of the neck hole to use for tying the cape. Classic Robin's cape has an oxford collar while the modern version has a kung-fu collar. You can...

If possible, move into a seated position and make sure that there's no one on either side of you. Grab the coin in your dominant hand and announce to your onlookers that you're going to rub it right through the skin on your other arm.  A line like, “My doctor said my iron levels are a little low” can add some color and humor to the trick while also taking your audience's attention off of what you're doing. You can use any type of coin you like, but something larger, like a quarter or half dollar, will generally be easier for your audience to see.

Math games are good tools for honing your math skills and are designed to let you have fun while doing it. Some recommended online math games (that are in line with the new Common Core standards) include:  DragonBox 5+ which lets you gradually build your algebra skills until you’re able to master more and more advanced equations.  Prodigy, a game targeted at elementary-school students, that integrates math practice into a role-playing game that allows players to use math to make their way through an appealing fantasy world.  Many other productive games are available online and as apps, so do a little looking around and find those best suited to your needs and goals. Incorporate math equations into your daily routine to help keep your skills sharp and to help you recognize the many ways that math exists all around you.  Take the time to apply math in common situations. For example, if, say, a sweater that’s regularly $38 is on sale for 30% off, what is the sale price? Or if you need to double a recipe that calls for 3/4 cup of flour, how much flour will you need? Also take the opportunity to put your math skills to work in new and different situations outside your normal routine. For example, if you plan to hike a new trail that’s 7 miles long and it takes you 20 minutes to walk a mile, how long should you plan for your hike to take? Or if you need to drive 13 miles to pick up your friend at 1:30 and the average speed limit there is 45 mph (72 km/h), what time will you need to leave to arrive on time to get your friend? It’s easy to become frustrated with math when all you’re doing is memorizing a formula that, at base, means nothing to you. But if you work to truly understand the principles behind the formula, your understanding of math can become deeper and more productive.  Start by doing some research. Say you’re learning the Pythagorean theorem. Who was Pythagoras anyway? What does he have to do with triangles? How did he discover the theorem that was named after him and why does anybody care?

You'll usually find it in the Start menu (in Windows) or in the Applications folder (on a Mac). If you haven't already done so, click the File  menu, select Open , and then open the photo you want to edit. When selecting a photo, choose one with background that contrasts the hair color (for example, a white background if you're changing dark hair). This makes it easier to select the hair without capturing anything in the background. To do this, click the tiny arrow at the bottom-right corner of the Lasso tool (on the toolbar that runs along the side of Photoshop) to view the options, then click Magnetic Lasso Tool. Click a point very close to the hair, release the mouse button, then move the mouse slowly around the entire hairstyle (not including the face). Continue moving the mouse around the hairstyle until you reach the starting point, then click the original dot. The selection should now be outlined with a blinking dashed line.  Hair is not typically neat and tidy, so it can be challenging to select flyaways, wisps, and other nuances. It may be helpful to zoom in). It's okay if you capture a little bit of the background, clothing, or skin in your selection—this can be fixed later. This opens the Refine Edge dialog box, which should appear on the right side of Photoshop. You'll also notice that you now see only the area that you've selected in the image (and the rest of the image is a solid color). It's at the top of the "Refine Edge" dialog box under "View Mode." Click Marching Ants. This changes the view back to what you were previously working with. When you opened the Refine Edge tool, the cursor turned into a special brush. You can use this brush to modify the selected area:  To include more hair that wasn't selected, click or drag the mouse over those areas. The blinking selection line will expand as needed. To remove parts of the background, clothing, or skin you don't want in the selection, hold the Alt key (PC) or ⌥ Option key (Mac) as you click those areas. You may have to click or drag the mouse...

Practice what you are going to say. Use healthy communication techniques. Assert that depression is an illness. Be patient if others don’t understand. Explain the treatment options you are considering. Let them ask questions.

Typically, putting cockatiels of the same sex together in a cage together works well if they have gotten along during initial meetings. However, to avoid potential territorial behavior, consider getting a new cage that is big enough for both birds and have them both move into it at the same time. With enough space and a neutral territory to begin with, the stage is set for them to live peacefully together.  If you go for the option of a new and 'neutral' cage, make sure all the fixtures and fittings, such as toys and food bowls, are new so that the birds don't defend property that was once theirs. If you put male and female cockatiels together they may get along, but you will likely end up with baby cockatiels. Sometimes when you have multiple birds it is easiest to just keep them in different cages forever. This will ensure that they each have enough space and that they each get all the food, water, and access to toys that they need. It will also help ensure that they do not become aggressive or territorial with one another. Keeping birds in separate cages doesn't mean that they won't interact with each other. You can put the cages next to each other and you can let them out of their cages at the same time, if you like. If you have birds that are aggressive towards each other, even when kept in separate cages, then you will need to keep their cages far away from each other. If they stop aggressive behavior when the cages are separated by a few feet, then move them to opposite sides of the same room. However, in severe cases, you may need to keep them in separate rooms altogether. It is better to keep birds that don't like each other out of sight of each other than to hope that they will eventually get used to each other. The stress of aggression and fear can impact the bird's health and attitude towards you as well.

TL;DR in English: Put cockatiels together in the same cage only if they get along. Consider keeping your birds in separate cages permanently. Separate birds that don't get along.

It's a key component in any relationship, but when you're in college, there are so many opportunities to meet new people. Your girlfriend should know what she can trust you, and you should be able to trust her in return. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts to building trust, so you need to put in the time. Being consistently considerate, supportive, loyal, and affectionate is the best way to get your girlfriend to trust you. It will be easier to trust one another if you establish a commitment from the start. Make sure you both know exactly what you expect from one another. Between classes, work, extracurricular activities, and friends, college students have a lot of demands on their schedule, but in order for your relationship to thrive, you have to make an effort to see your girlfriend on a regular basis. Even committing to seeing each other only two or three times a week can make a big difference into making your relationship work. If you're very busy, get creative about finding time to spend with your girlfriend. For example, if you're both swamped with midterms, study together. You can take turns quizzing each other or meet up to have a late night snack. While it's natural to want to spend all your time with someone that you care about, healthy relationships allow for both parties to grow as people. Allow her to cultivate interests that are separate from yours, while you do the same. While she's doing her own thing, it's still important to be supportive. For example, if she takes up a new hobby that you don't participate in, such as the intramural volleyball team, show up for games and events to cheer her on. College is a transitional period for many people, and that can make it difficult to keep a relationship going. If you're serious about your girlfriend, you should have an honest conversation with her about what's going to happen down the road and where you both expect the relationship to go. For example, if she's planning to go to graduate school in New York after college and you're moving to...

Add ½ cup (100 g) of brown sugar, ¼ cup (85 g) of honey, ¼ cup (80 g) of orange marmalade jam, 2 tablespoons (30 g) of coarse mustard, and 1 tablespoon (15 g) of spicy brown mustard to a small saucepan. Allow the mixture to heat on the stove on medium low until the sugar dissolves, which should take 5 to 10 minutes. Whisk the mixture constantly as it heats to help the sugar dissolve. Set an 8 pound (3.6 kg) spiral sliced ham in a large slow cooker. Use a pastry or basting brush to apply the glaze all over the ham, and pour some of it between the layers of the meat. Set the lid on the slow cooker, and turn it on at low heat. Allow the ham to cook for 6 to 8 hours. You’ll know the ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C). Use a digital thermometer to check on the meat starting at the 6 hour mark. While the ham is cooking, check on it every two hours. Apply more of the glaze if desired to ensure that the meat is as flavorful as possible. When the ham is finished cooking in the slow cooker, carefully remove it and place it on an oven-safe platter. Next, preheat the oven’s broiler for 3 to 5 minutes. Take 1 cup (237 ml) of the cooking liquid from the bottom of the slow cooker and transfer it to a small saucepan. Heat it on the stove over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes. After the cooking liquid has simmered for several minutes, begin mixing 1 to 3 teaspoons (3 to 9 g) of cornstarch into the pan. Add it 1 teaspoon (3 g) at a time, mixing it in well until it reaches your desired thickness. Once the glaze has thickened enough, brush it over the ham. Be sure to apply some between the layers of meat so the ham has plenty of flavor. Set the ham on the second to lowest rack in the oven under the broiler. Allow it to broil for 5 to 10 minutes or until the glaze becomes shiny and thick. When the ham has broiled long enough, take it out of the oven. Allow it to cool for 3 to 5 minutes, and serve while it’s still warm.

TL;DR in English: Heat the brown sugar, honey, marmalade, and mustards until the sugar dissolves. Place the ham inside a slow cooker and baste the ham with the glaze. Cover the slow cooker and cook the ham for several hours. Baste the ham every couple of hours. Transfer the ham to an oven-safe platter and preheat the broiler. Add some of the cooking liquid to a pan and simmer it for several minutes. Mix the cornstarch into the liquid until it thickens. Brush the thickened mixture onto the ham. Broil the ham for several minutes until the glaze is shiny. Remove the ham from the oven and serve.

Being open and honest can be difficult, so take time to practice the conversation. Visualize yourself talking to someone. Writing down your key talking points can also help. You can even practice what you’ll say aloud.  “I want to talk to you about something serious” is a good way to begin a conversation. “I have depression, and I want to tell you about it” is a straightforward way to begin discussing depression. “I love you, and this doesn’t change our relationship” can be reassuring to significant others and loved ones. “This is really hard for me” can be said if you get emotional and need space. Blaming others and accusing people will not make the conversation productive. Choose a time that is not stressful to approach loves ones for this serious discussion, and talk in a private area.  Remove distractions by turning off the television, putting your phone on vibrate, and turning down music.  Use “I” statements when discussing feelings. Saying “you” can make a person feel attacked. For example, say “I need help” rather than “You need to help me.” Remember to listen, even if you’re talking mostly about your feelings. This is very necessary if a person doesn’t know what depression is. Different cultures have different explanations for illnesses, so if you’re talking to someone who isn’t from a Western, industrialized society, they may have a lot of trouble understanding depression.  Let them know that your depression is not their fault. Emphasize that depression is a medically recognized illness. Tell them you are not choosing to be depressed or simply having a bad day. It probably took a while for you to come to terms with your depression, so some people may also need time before they completely understand. Often, friends and family members have to get used to the idea of someone they love having a mental illness.  You can say, “It took me a long time to understand depression, too.” Remind them, “This isn’t something that is going away.” Use a fact as support so they take you seriously, like “Depression is...

It’s recommended to keep your fitbit dry and clean, even after you get it wet or sweaty. To clean it, remove your band and wipe it down with a moist cloth, then let it dry before you put it back on. For heavier buildup from sweat or sunscreen, wipe it down with some rubbing alcohol or a mild water-based cleaning solution, or scrub the inside of the band lightly with a soft-bristled toothbrush.  Avoid using soaps, as these can leave behind residues that can cause skin irritation.  Don’t submerge your Fitbit or clean it with extremely hot or cold water. Fitbit bands come in a wide range of colors and materials, including nylon, metal, stretchy synthetic elastomer and all-natural leather. Try out various bands to find the one that’s most comfortable for you and allows for maximum movement and versatility. You could have a different band for every day of the week!  A band's performance depends largely on what it's made from. Elastomer, for example, will provide the greatest amount of flexibility and comfort, while rugged materials like leather and nylon offer exceptional durability.

It's always best to start by touching her in places that are not too sensitive and then move on to more sensitive areas if she is okay with it.  For example, you can caress a girl on her arm, face, calf, or upper back to start.  If you have never caressed her before, try holding her hand to start. If she lets you hold her hand, and holds onto it for a while, then she might be interested in more touching and you can try touching her back or arm next. If she likes what you are doing, you can start trying different places on her body. For example, you might move from her upper back to her lower back, or from her calf to her thigh. Watch for cues that she is open to this, such as smiling or moving towards your touch. Avoid touching areas of her body that she might be sensitive about, such as her stomach. Girls love it when guys play with their hair and caress it. It's a romantic gesture that seems to have emotion behind it.   Tuck her hair behind her ear. If you notice her hair has come undone, or is in her way, brush it off her face. It probably won't stay there, but she'll definitely notice the gesture. Girls enjoy having their long hair played with, stroked, and brushed. Run your fingers through her mane, eventually working your way up her neck to rub behind her ears. A girl's face and neck are intimate places to caress, but touching a girl in these places is a good place to start caressing. Try stroking her cheek and neck with one hand as talk to her and gaze into her eyes. Gently brushing your fingers across her cheek is a really good way to let her know you want to kiss her, and give her time to react. You can also try caressing a girl's hands as a good starting place. This is a form of caressing that you can do in public as well.   Try rubbing your thumb across the back of her hand while you hold hands. If you notice her hand sitting on a table next to you, try holding hands across the table, and then giving her palm a little massage.

This style has many similarities to standard cursive. Most of the letters are made with just one stroke as cursive is meant to be done with efficiency. The main strokes to learn are downward, upward, and curve strokes. Use lined paper, and start just above the bottom line. Curve down and to the right to the bottom line. When you touch the bottom line, stroke up to the top line moving from left to right. The letters b, f, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, and z all start with a downward stroke. Depending on the letter, you will have strokes that go to the top line, and some will only reach the middle line. The letter "f"  will actually reach below the bottom line. These lines will flow from right to left. Put the tip of your pen right below the top line. Arc your pen down and around to the right, and bring the pen tip back to where you started. Finish the "O" with a curl to the right. Start with your pen tip on the bottom line. Draw an upward stroke to the middle line, and make a downward stroke that reaches to the bottom line and then, curves back up. Finish with another downward stroke and a small curl. Letters like i, j, m, n, r, v, w, and y have this stroke. Start with your pen tip on the bottom line, and stroke up to the top line. Then, arc your pen to the left, and draw a downward stroke to the bottom line so that you cross over your first line at the bottom. Make an upward stroke to the middle line, and another downward stroke back down to the bottom line finishing with an upward curl at the end. Letters like b, f, k, and l have similar strokes. Use a cursive calligraphy chart, and these stroke references, to guide you through the alphabet. Remember to keep your angles consistent, and resist the temptation to finish letters using the same, continuous stroke.

TL;DR in English: Notice the detail of cursive calligraphy. Use a basic upward stroke. Learn the downward stroke. Practice the curve stroke with the letter "o". Try drawing a "u". Draw the letter "h". Try the other letters.

For this mobile you will need silk flowers, thick ribbon, straight pins, and a straw or styrofoam wreath. A 12 inch wreath will be a good size, and you'll need several bouquets of flowers. Start by attaching the ribbon to the inside of your wreath with two straight pins (push the pins into the wreath). Then, wrap your wreath in the ribbon until it is fully covered. If you have lots of ribbon to spare you may want to wrap it tightly so that the ribbon continually overlaps. This will prevent your wreath from showing through. Then, secure the end of the ribbon inside your wreath with two more straight pins. It's easier to wrap your wreath if you leave the packaging on. Styrofoam wreaths don't always have packaging, but straw wreaths generally do. This will keep the straw from falling out of the wreath. Take your flowers and cut off any excess leaves, stems, or parts of the flower that you don't like. The flowers will need to be relatively flat, and you want each bloom to be an individual, meaning you don't want to leave the flowers connected to one another. You can use different colored flowers here, but one flower would look pretty as well. Hold your wreath and place each flower on the outside of the wreath, securing it with pins. Make sure you place the pin as far inside the flower as you can so it doesn't show. Cover the entire wreath with flowers. You can use glue here instead to attach your flowers, but pinning is easier and will provide a more secure hold for the flower. You don't want to place the flower on the wreath as if you were hanging it from a door. Instead, imagine your wreath is flat on the ground. You want to place your flowers on the side of the wreath, that is more perpendicular to the ground, rather than the top of the wreath that is parallel with your ground. Place your flowers around the wreath as if you are creating a crown. Take two ribbons and attach them to the wreath as you did in the previous section, on the 12, 3, 6, and 9 points of a clock. Because your mobile doesn't have anything...

TL;DR in English: Visit a craft store for your supplies. Wrap the wreath in ribbon. Cut your flowers. Pin your flowers to the wreath. Attach ribbons to the wreath. Position and hang your mobile.

The Khmer language is ancient and borrows from many other Austroasiatic languages, most notably Thai and Lao. It is similar to other southeast Asian languages such as Vietnamese and Mon, and has a beautiful flowing script. If you know much about Asian language systems, you'll know that this means that Khmer, both in print and spoken aloud, is very different from the English alphabet system.  The Khmer alphabet is alphasyllabic, meaning that each letter represents a syllable rather than one sound like in English. It is written from left to right, with no spaces between words in a given sentence. Khmer contains 33 consonant letters, 14 independent vowels, and 21 vowel diacritics (essentially an accent mark written above or below a letter that changes the way it is pronounced). None of these letters are similar to English, which can make it hard to learn for native English speakers. There are many systems that people use to "romanize" the Khmer language, that is, to render it in roman alphabetic characters like those used in the English language. This can make it hard to learn how to pronounce Khmer phrases, as you will find many variations of how Khmer words are written in phonetically in English. While you can learn the gist of the language by reading about it, the best way to learn to pronounce phrases in Khmer is to listen to native speakers.  You can watch free Khmer lessons at www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hp_Kj5e5PQ Check out Youtube video blogger Nathanial Dick's introductory videos at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0XPeQACWm4. While he is not a native speaker, his videos are very helpful if you are a native English speaker just learning about Khmer.

Make garlic oil regularly to apply as a topical analgesic. Apply a generous amount of garlic oil to the parts of your back that are sore. Leave the oil on the skin for 3 hours. Repeat daily as needed for back pain.

Cover the affected area while it's still damp so that the baking soda has an easier time sticking. If possible, place another object (like a bucket, bowl or plastic washtub) over the stain so that it's completely enclosed. That way, more of the odor will be trapped rather than escaping into the air. You should follow up with this step even if you used baking soda to soak up the vomit originally. A second application will most likely be needed to rid the area of more persistent odors. It will take several hours for the sodium bicarbonate to absorb the remainder of the odor-causing residue. In the meantime, there's not much else you can do but be patient. Wait until the baking soda has solidified into dry clumps before suctioning it up. Spray the room with a powerful air freshener or a homemade version mixed from water, fresh citrus juice and essential oils. If possible, leave a door or window open to the room to promote ventilation. Most of the smell should dissipate within a couple of hours.  Turning on the overhead fan or air conditioning can help cut down on overpowering odors. Avoid running the heater, which can thicken odors and make them more pronounced. Burning scented candles may also help improve the air quality in the room. Sweep the area from multiple angles, using a variety of head attachments as needed. Run your hand over the spot to make sure you didn't miss any baking soda. After you've vacuumed a second time, it will be hard to tell there was ever a stain there in the first place.  Use a handheld vacuum or Shop-Vac to remove baking soda from your car interior or other hard-to-reach spots. Be sure to empty out the contents of the vacuum into the trash to get rid of the clumps before using it again.

TL;DR in English: Dust the surface with baking soda. Let the baking soda sit overnight. Air out the room. Vacuum up the dried mess.

Sometimes you have to do a little work over the weekend, whether it’s take-home work from your job or chores to do around the house. However, try not to let work consume your entire weekend. Pick a few high-priority tasks and focus on those. Plan to get your tasks out of the way early in the weekend, so that you can spend the rest of your time relaxing and enjoying yourself. Don’t let yourself feel overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you need to get done. Settle on two or three things that need your immediate attention, and decide on a schedule for tackling anything else during the week, or during your next weekend. If you can, set aside a little time every day during the week to tackle mundane chores like doing housework, buying groceries, or paying the bills. That way, you will have more free time during your weekend to do things you enjoy. Set aside a few minutes during your weekend to plan for the upcoming week. Make a to-do list, set a few goals for things you would like to accomplish, and rough out a schedule for yourself. Taking a few minutes to write up a plan of action for the next few days can help you take your mind off your responsibilities and focus on more enjoyable things. Try to give yourself at least 24 hours during the weekend to focus on doing things you enjoy. Set specific hours for your downtime, and avoid the temptation to do or think about things that stress you out. . In addition to minimizing work and chores during the weekend, you can help yourself relax and feel more in the moment by disconnecting from social media. Spending too much time on social media will not only eat away your weekend hours, but can also contribute to feelings of stress and isolation. Put away your phone or tablet, resist the urge to check your email, and simply focus on the here and now. Schedule internet-free time during your weekend. If it helps, turn off your devices or disconnect them from the internet during that time.

TL;DR in English: Decide on a few key tasks for the weekend. Make a schedule for getting your work done. Prioritize your tasks. Try to get chores done during the week. Plan ahead for the next week. Set aside time just for relaxing. Disconnect from social media

Make sure you are aware of the most important facts about CFS.   Chronic fatigue is not very common. It is estimated to affect 836,000 to 2.5 million people in the United States. Chronic fatigue is diagnosed four more times more often in women than men. There is no test for chronic fatigue. It can be diagnosed through symptoms or signs that are happening at the same time. There is no cure for chronic fatigue; however, symptoms can be treated and reduced. Adults have a fair to poor prognosis for chronic fatigue. Children have a better to good prognosis. In both cases, treatment of the symptoms is important. Having a healthy lifestyle is the best advice given by physicians to treat chronic fatigue. In younger people, the most common group diagnosed is teenagers. It is very difficult for doctors to diagnose CFS since there is no test and the symptoms mirror a number of other diseases.   Know the difference between CFS and ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis). CFS is the preferred term for doctors, while ME is used by those suffering from the condition. For many, fatigue seems too everyday of a word to describe the syndrome.   Realize there is no test for CFS. The doctor will not be able to provide a simple and easy test, so make sure to have patience. Know the common symptoms as described above. If you have CFS, you will experience four of the eight symptoms close to the same time. Talk to your doctor about getting tested for other potential causes of fatigue. Because CFS is relatively rare, it is more likely you are suffering from a different condition, including thyroid, anemia, sleep disorders, medication side effects, infections, nutritional deficiencies, fibromyalgia, autoimmune disorders, depression, and so on. Many of these are more treatable than CFS. Realize that CFS goes through cycles of remission and relapse. You may feel better for a time and then feel much worse. There is no cure, but only the symptoms can be managed. Your symptoms may vary. Some symptoms will be prominent than others. Additionally, some...

TL;DR in English: Know your facts. Know the difficulties of diagnosing chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Provide your doctor with all necessary information. Consider sleep disorders. Make sure to test for a variety of conditions besides chronic fatigue. Make management plan with doctor. Change your lifestyle. Look into alternative medicine. Get emotional support.

Fry 10 cloves of garlic in 2 oz. (60 ml) of coconut or sesame oil. Heat the oil on low heat in a frying pan, and keep the cloves of garlic in the pan until they are brown. Strain the garlic cloves away and keep the oil in a small glass jar. This can be used for a few days after making it. Massage the garlic into the skin. Wash it off with soap and water. Try taking a warm bath to increase the effects of the oil on tight or sore muscles.

TL;DR in English:

Making signs means getting wood. Use an axe or sword to chop down a nearby tree. In order to make one sign, you will need:  6 wooden planks 1 stick If you already have your raw materials, skip straight to the next step. If you don't know how to make wood into wooden planks, and finally, into sticks, read on.  Craft wooden planks out of wood. One block of wood, crafted, will turn into 4 wooden planks. In order to make one sign, you'll therefore need at least 2 blocks of wood to craft. Craft sticks out of two wooden planks. Place two wooden planks in a vertical line on your crafting table to yield 4 sticks.

TL;DR in English: Gather materials. If you haven't already, craft your wooden planks and stick.

Use sandpaper or steel wool to scuff the sides of the stainless steel object.  Scuffing the steel will create a more age-worn appearance. It also removes some of the protective coating, allowing more of the vinegar to penetrate and work its way through the metal. Steel wool pads will usually create deeper scratches, so if you want to create more subtle wear, use sandpaper instead. Choose a medium to heavy grit sandpaper for best results. Place the prepared steel item in a plastic bucket or in another similar container made of non-reactive material. All sides you wish to antique should be exposed. If one side is covered or hidden against the side of the container, the vinegar may not work as effectively there. Pour vinegar into the container, covering all sides of the stainless steel piece.  You may want to wear safety goggles and safety gloves when handling vinegar. Even though vinegar is a mild acid, it could sting if it splashes into your eyes. Vinegar can also be a mild irritant if you have sensitive skin or if your skin is submerged for prolonged periods. Every side touching the vinegar will be affected. Any type of vinegar should work for this project, but white distilled vinegar is recommended since it is fairly cheap and easy to come by. If the steel piece starts to float, hold it down by placing stones or dry beans on top of it. Make sure that the vinegar still has access to the piece, however. Keep the steel piece submerged in the vinegar for at least eight hours.  The piece should look subtly aged and worn as soon as you remove it. When you remove the piece, rinse the vinegar away with clean water and dry it with clean towels. If the antiqued appearance isn't as notable as you would prefer, soak the stainless steel for a longer period of time.  Stainless steel comes in different grades, so this may not be effective on all steel pieces. High-grade stainless steel is more likely to resist corrosion than low-grade stainless steel. If the vinegar doesn't produce results, you could try using a more...

TL;DR in English: Scuff the steel. Place the piece in a larger container. Cover with vinegar. Allow it to sit overnight. Repeat as desired.

There is growing evidence suggesting that a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids can help protect the skin from the sun. However, it’s important to use diet in conjunction with other sun-protection measures, such as using sunscreen and wearing protective clothes. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids include:  Salmon Halibut Algae Nut oils Chia and hemp seeds Lycopene is an antioxidant that’s found primarily in red foods such as tomatoes and red peppers. However, in order to attain the most sun-protection benefits from lycopene, it’s important to cook the foods in a small amount of oil. Good sources of lycopene, therefore, include:  Tomato paste Vegetable pasta sauces Roasted red peppers Cocoa is packed with antioxidants such as flavonoids and catechins, and eating it can help your skin protect itself from sun damage. To get the most benefits from dark chocolate, eat about 2 oz (60 g) per day. Avoid chocolate that has milk added to it, as this can interfere with the body’s ability to absorb all antioxidants.

TL;DR in English: Eat foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Add lycopene-rich foods to your dinners. Eat dark chocolate.

When it comes to dogs, every breed has its pros and cons, and Boston Terriers are no different. In general, Boston Terriers are known to have some of the following positive traits which can make them fun and easy to care for:  Friendly, good-natured temperament. Good with kids and other pets. Not many grooming needs Playful and lively, but not hyperactive. Small but resilient. While Boston Terriers make great companions for the reasons above, they aren't without their shortcomings. The "cons" below can make them a little more difficult to care for than other breeds:  Can have behavior problems if not bred well. Sometimes tricky to housetrain. Can drool frequently or suffer from bad gas (seriously). Can tend to make lots of noise (not just barks, but also wheezing, snorting, huffing, sniffling, and snoring). Can be vulnerable to certain health problems (see section below). Boston Terriers need:  A place to live where they can spend much of their time indoors (they do not tolerate heat or cold well). A place to live where they won't be constantly left alone (they suffer from separation anxiety easily) A trainer who's willing to be patient, gentle, and light on punishment (Bostons can be a sensitive breed). Frequent checkups with a vet. An owner who's willing to take special efforts at home to protect the dog from likely health issues.

TL;DR in English: Know the unique joys of this breed. Know the unique difficulties of this breed. Be aware of this breed's special needs.

Use gentle cleanser twice a day. Keeping your skin clean helps reduce the impurities and gets rid of the oil and grime that naturally get on our skin. Drinking alcohol can dry out your skin. The area around your eyes is particularly full of water, so alcohol has an outsize effect on it. Even though it won’t necessarily show in increased hydration of your skin, it helps your overall health. It can also help you recover from dry environments and exposure to smoke or other irritants. Smoking, like alcohol, dries out your skin. The constant smoke in your face also means that you’re going be crinkling up your eyes more to avoid the smoke, creating more wrinkles around your eyes. Smoke is also bad for your eyes themselves, and can cause irritation. Protecting your skin from the sun is one of the most important steps you can take for skin health. The sun dries, wrinkles, and can cause permanent damage to your skin, particularly the sensitive areas on your face. Your eyes need to be protected from the harmful rays of the sun just as much as your skin does. Squinting as you look into the sunlight can also cause wrinkles in your skin. Choose ones with UV protection.

TL;DR in English:


Recognize the symptoms of depression. Validate their pain, but don't stay there. Avoid taking their depression personally. Don't underestimate how serious depression can be. Offer to help with small things. Be a compassionate listener. Remember that you aren't their therapist. Encourage your friend to seek professional help. Know that depression can come and go. Set your own boundaries.

Combine the leaves from your small bunch of mint with your equal parts of water and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat on medium, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. This could take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Let the syrup sit in your refrigerator for about an hour, or until it feels cool.  If you want to cool the syrup down faster, place it in the freezer for 20 minutes. Before chilling the syrup, make sure that you transfer it into a heatproof bowl. If you use a plastic bowl, the heat from the syrup could cause the plastic to start melting. Once the syrup feels cool, pour it through a strainer or small colander. Collect the syrup in a bowl beneath the strainer and filter out the leaves.  You only need 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of this syrup for your shamrock shake. The rest can be saved in a sealed container for another dish, though. Discard the mint leaves you strained out. Add the ingredients to an electric blender and whip together on a high speed for 15 to 30 seconds, or until thoroughly combined. Taste the shake before serving it. If the mint flavor is not strong enough, you can add more mint syrup or more mint extract. If the alcohol taste is not strong enough, you can add a bit more whiskey. Be aware, though, that adding more liquid will cause your shake to thin out. Pour the shamrock shake into one or two serving glasses. Decorate each one with a generous helping of whipped cream topping and a bright red maraschino cherry.

TL;DR in English: Heat the mint leaves and sugar in water. Chill the mint syrup. Strain out the mint leaves. Combine 2 Tbsp (30 ml) mint syrup with the ice cream, milk, whiskey, mint extract, and food coloring. Garnish with whipped cream and a cherry, if desired.

.. given by the recursion shown. This cannot be solved by any of the above methods, but a formula can be found by using generating functions. A generating function is simply a formal power series where the coefficient of xn is the nth term of the sequence. The objective in this step is to find an equation that will allow us to solve for the generating function A(x). Extract the initial term. Apply the recurrence relation to the remaining terms.  Split the sum. Extract constant terms. Use the definition of A(x). Use the formula for the sum of a geometric series.  The methods for doing this will vary depending on exactly what A(x) looks like, but the method of partial fractions, combined with knowing the generating function of a geometric sequence, works here as shown.

TL;DR in English: Consider the sequence 2, 5, 14, 41, 122 . Write the generating function of the sequence. Manipulate the generating function as shown. Find the generating function A(x). Find the coefficient of the xn in A(x). Write the formula for an by identifying the coefficient of xn in A(x).

Are you singing to your ten-year-old daughter at a birthday party with a few other friends? You'll probably want to keep it simple. Are you singing alone to your husband or wife? Maybe you should sing more softly and romantically. Are you singing with a huge group to your father at his 80th birthday party? Maybe you guys should all practice, or at least decide when you are going to sing. It’s important to understand the context of your event so you can figure out what’s appropriate. If you’ve got a deep voice, don’t try singing Happy Birthday in the traditional singsong way. Use your deep voice! Stay within your range and don’t try to hit the high notes. No one is expecting you to be an expert. Practicing often to yourself, for example at home, will allow you to work out any kinks that may be in your voice and also help you to remember the song. It will also allow you to add special flourishes to the song, like a “cha cha cha” after every line. If you’re performing with a group of other people it’s always a good idea to rehearse. Designate one person to act as the conductor and start on their cue. You don’t want to start at different times or end at different times. Otherwise, everyone should easily fall into line. If you’re singing with a group and you aren’t going to have time to practice before hand, don’t try doing anything special. It’s assumed that everyone knows the song.

TL;DR in English: Decide the context of the event. Figure out the strengths and weaknesses of your voice. Practice singing the song alone. Practice with others.

Salads can be just as bad as any entrée if they are loaded with dressing.  Instead, order what you want to eat with any unhealthy aspects either taken off or put on the side (if you can handle having them there without feeling like you need to eat them). If you feel this way then remind yourself that the money you spent on the part of the meal that you didn't eat is just an investment in a healthier you or if you can take the rest of the food home and eat it later.  If you go to a restaurant and find the portions to be large, ask for a take-home box when your food arrives.  Place half the meal into the box before you begin to eat.  Plan on eating the rest later that day, if you get hungry, or tomorrow. This way you won't feel you've wasted money or food and you'll already have tomorrow's lunch ready to warm up.     Do a little research before you go to the restaurant. There are websites that list the ingredients/nutritional facts for restaurants.

TL;DR in English: Ordering meals that sound less unhealthy won't always guarantee that they are healthy. Never justify eating your entire meal because you paid for it.

Sometimes people aren't necessarily depressed, they're simply going through a difficult time of life. However, if a friend shows signs of depression, you may need to pay close attention to make sure that it doesn't get worse.  Do they exhibit persistent sad, anxious, or empty moods? Do they present feelings of hopelessness or pessimism (nothing will ever get better; life is terrible)? Do they have lots of feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness? Are they fatigued, have decreased energy? Do they have difficulty concentrating on things, remembering things, or making decisions? Have you noticed insomnia, or oversleeping? Have they lost or gained significant weight? Are they restless and irritable? Have they mentioned or talked about thinking about death or suicide? Have they made or talked about making a suicide attempt? This could show by them saying something about how the world world be a better place if they weren't in it. Remember that their pain and feelings of hopelessness and helplessness are real. Validate the fact that they feel these negative feelings and then do your best to turn their attention elsewhere.  Depressed people may respond to distractions. You don't have to make the distraction super obvious. If you're taking a walk, for example, pointing out the beauty of the light on the water, or the color of the sky can turn the conversation. Going over the same negative feelings again and again can actually make things worse, because it encourages a depressed person to remain in that negative place. When someone is depressed they often have difficulty connecting to anyone on an emotional level, because of what they are going through. Taking it personally will mean that they will have a more difficult time reaching out.  A depressed person might lash out by saying something hurtful or angry towards you. Remember that this is the depression not the friend who is saying those things. This doesn't mean that you need to take abuse from them. If your friend is becoming abusive, as well as...

TL;DR in English:


Become aware of your emotions. Validate yourself. Keep perspective. Don't take yourself too seriously. Let go of defeat.

When everyone is on the same page about what the issue is, then you can go about finding a solution. The steps for establishing a goal are similar to defining the problem:  Clearly state your ideal solution to this issue. Ask the other person to do the same. Again, listen carefully and don't make assumptions. The other person may not be aware of his own goal. Ask similar questions to the ones you asked yourself prior to the conflict so they can establish one. Encourage him or her to be as specific as possible. When everyone has expressed a desired solution, find compatibility in the responses. This will ease the process to finding a solution.  Disagreements tend to magnify differences and obscure similarities. Break this trend by looking for similarities, no matter how small they are. Any common ground is a starting point to build from. Use phrases like, "Okay, so it looks like we agree on..." to make it clear that there is common ground between the two parties. This realization can make people more willing to cooperate and compromise. Take a workplace argument for example. In defining their problem, both parties have stated that they don't enjoy working in close proximity to each other because it is a distraction. From that common ground, a solution can be an office or desk change to resolve the disagreement. It is very likely you and the other person won't agree completely on a solution. Using the common ground you've established, work out a solution that is acceptable to both parties.  Talk through everyone's ideas for an ideal solution. Find out what is most important to the other person and clearly state what is important to you. This will show what everyone is willing and unwilling to compromise on. Remember that in a compromise, neither party is completely satisfied. Be flexible enough to work with the other person and come to a solution acceptable for everyone. Take the previous workplace disagreement as an example. Both parties don't want to work in the same area. But there aren't any offices...

TL;DR in English: Establish a goal. Find common ground. Compromise. Address all issues in the solution. Follow-up on the solution.

As noted above, all of the tiny differences between Coke and Pepsi are easier (though not exactly easy) to notice when you can compare both drinks (rather than tasting one and trying to guess what it is). To stand a better chance of telling Coke and Pepsi apart, have both drinks available and ready to drink so you can try one and then immediately try the other. If you're doing this for entertainment purposes, have a friend blindfold you and scramble the drink containers so you're not sure which is which. If you're training to be able to tell the drinks apart in the future, feel free to leave the blindfold off. Your first action should be to take only a small sip of each soda. While everyone's sense of taste will differ, this test isn't quite as random as you may think. See below: Statistically, more people tend to prefer the taste of Pepsi after just one sip. Its sharper, sweeter taste makes it create a stronger impression. It can even caused increased stimulation in the part of the brain responsible for judging flavors. Now, continue to drink both sodas until you run out or you start to feel full. Take note of which soda you were more comfortable drinking a large amount of. If your preference switched (that is, you preferred one soda for the sip test but the other once you drank more of each), you're like most people. See below:  Statistically, more people tend to prefer Coke when drinking an entire can or more. Its smoother, less sweet flavor makes it easier to drink large quantities of it.  Thus, if you liked one soda better after just a sip but liked the other one better once you drank more, the first one was probably Pepsi and the second was probably Coke.

TL;DR in English: Have both sodas for comparison purposes. See which you prefer after a sip test. See which you prefer after drinking as much as you want.

Canine stroke typically occurs when blood vessels in the brain rupture (hemorrhagic stroke) or become blocked (ischemic stroke). The symptoms of canine stroke may appear quite suddenly, and may also be different from the typical signs of stroke in humans. Your dog may have had a stroke if it:  Walks in circles for no apparent reason. Holds its head tilted to one side. Turns the wrong way when called. Has difficulty balancing, standing, or walking. Experiences extreme lethargy. Has sudden problems with bladder and bowel control. Shows signs of loss of vision. Suddenly collapses. You may also notice your dog’s eyes moving rapidly from side to side as if following a moving object (nystagmus). Stroke is only one possible cause of nystagmus, but it is always a good idea to get this symptom evaluated by a vet. You can help your vet diagnose canine stroke and identify potential underlying causes more quickly by letting them know if your dog has any common risk factors for stroke. Stroke may be more likely to occur in elderly dogs and dogs with a history of:  Head injury or trauma. Heart disease. Diabetes. Kidney disease. Endocrine disorders, such as thyroid disease or Cushing’s disease. Brain tumors. Exposure to some types of poison. Certain parasites or tick-borne diseases, such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. If you suspect your dog has a stroke, take them to the vet immediately. Tell your vet about your dog’s symptoms and health history. In addition to examining your dog and observing their behavior, your vet may use imaging tests as an MRI, CT scan, or standard X-rays in order to confirm or rule out a stroke.  Your vet may perform other tests, such as a spinal tap, in an effort to check for other conditions and diseases with similar symptoms. The vet will be looking for bleeding, clots, inflammation, or masses in the brain. Treat any symptoms of stroke as a medical emergency. Early medical intervention may help ensure the best possible outcome for your dog.

TL;DR in English: Look for the symptoms of canine stroke. Assess your dog’s risk factors for stroke. Bring your dog to the vet’s office for testing.

The  most  important thing you can do when you hear gossip about someone is to halt the rumor in its tracks. No matter how juicy it seems, it's not worth hurting someone's feelings over. Put yourself in this person's shoes - would you like to come to school one day only to find out that everyone's been talking about you? Wouldn't that make you feel lonely and betrayed? Don't pass gossip along - if you do, you're helping it spread.  It's also not a bad idea to try convincing the person who told you the gossip to stop spreading it. If they're a close friend or a good person, you might have success. However, if they're already a gossip king or queen, they may not listen. Let's use an example. Let's say a friend comes to you with a juicy secret about a kid you know named Jason - he hasn't been at school for the past week because he caught mono from kissing Kim under the bleachers! In this case, just calmly say something like "Oh, let's not spread rumors about him" to squash the conversation. Don't let a baseless rumor you heard impact your behavior in any way. Don't start avoiding or antagonizing people just because you heard something bad about them. One of the reasons gossip can hurt so badly is because it can change the way their friends and acquaintances act around them. Imagine, for instance, how it might feel for someone to walk down the hallway at school if people break into whispers and giggles as s/he walks by. Never change the way you think or act about someone until you have reason to believe the things you've heard are true. In our example, you would not let the rumors about Jason and Kim change your behavior in any way. You certainly wouldn't avoid Jason in the lunch room or complain about having to share a locker with Kim, for instance! Lots of the gossip you hear is completely bogus, usually made up by someone to get back at someone else. Sometimes, however, rumors are true or half-true. Even if you're  sure  that a rumor you hear is true, don't spread it. It's very embarrassing to have private...

TL;DR in English: Don't pass the gossip along. Don't take the gossip as true. Don't make exceptions for gossip you  know  is true. Keep secrets. Never start rumors yourself. Know when to report rumors to teachers.

Think about what you just experienced, and try to understand how you are currently responding to it. If you are angry, ask yourself why you are angry. If you are disappointed, ask yourself what you hoped to achieve. Before you accept or control your emotions, you must first understand them.  Think about how you would have felt if you had not been defeated. Compare the two states, and consider what remains the same between the two outcomes. Consider writing your thoughts down. Speak to a trusted friend or family member about your feelings. You probably know how you best process emotions – so do what you need to do to come to terms with the situation. Tell yourself that there is no way to "feel wrong". No emotion is inherently good or bad. They simply are, and it's healthy to embrace them. Acknowledge the fact that whatever you are feeling is entirely acceptable. Bear in mind that while it is important to embrace emotions, it may be unwise to follow certain feelings (such as anger or self-loathing) to their logical conclusions. You may not have been able to prevent your defeat, but you can control your reaction towards it. Take a deep breath, and try to be as levelheaded as possible. Remind yourself that what has happened has happened, and that you cannot change it. This attitude will allow you to be flexible and adaptable – and you may find yourself better at handling negativity and loss in future situations. Remember that life goes on one defeat may not be important in the larger scheme of things. A situation can always be worse. Consider whether there is a silver lining that you haven't yet seen. Try to find the humor in what has happened, and keep a smile on your face – even though it may be hard for you to crack a natural smile. You may find that the situation is funnier, smaller, or more absurd once you take a step back from your personal investment. When you fail, your emotions can distort your perspective. Do not linger on what happened, and do not let your defeat continue to defeat you. You might feel...

TL;DR in English:


Urinate before starting the massage. Lie down somewhere comfortable. Press and rub your abdomen. Seek assistance from an obstetrician, nurse, or midwife.

Go for comfortable shoes with no heel or a low heel. If you work in an environment where your toes could be injured, wear protective shoes. Do not cut your toenails to follow the line of your toes, as this can lead to ingrown toenails. Try not to cut them too short or leave them too long. Do this in warm water for 10 – 15 minutes. This will help to soften your toenails and make them more flexible. It will also make it easier to lift the edge of your toenail over the skin so they do not grow into your skin and become ingrown. Add two tablespoons of Epsom salts to your foot bath or soak them in Domeboro Astringent solution, which can be found at more drugstores.

TL;DR in English: Wear open-toed shoes. Cut your toenails straight across. Soak your feet two to three times a week.

Preparing your kitchen and home for a child with a newly diagnosed food allergy can seem overwhelming.  Take time to clean out the kitchen of any foods that are unsafe for your child.  Take a weekend to spend cleaning out and reorganizing your pantry, refrigerator, freezer and any other spots you store foods.  This may take more than a day to get everything set up. Remove all foods that contain the allergen.  You'll need to read labels and ingredient lists to ensure all potentially hazardous foods have been removed. You can choose to donate or trash these "unsafe" foods if you desire.  Many times, unopened items can be donated to food banks. Consider having your child help you.  He should not touch or come into contact with these foods; however, it will be good practice to have him read labels and identify potentially unsafe items. In addition to removing unsafe foods from your house, it's important to minimize "cross contamination."  Make sure to wash and sanitize all items in your house.  Cross contamination is when allergens from unsafe foods come into contact with cookware or flatware that is supposed to be "allergen-free."  For example, if you use a knife to spread peanut butter on your bagel, but use the same knife (even wiped off) to spread jelly on your child's bread, you have cross-contaminated your child's meal with peanut allergens. All dishes and utensils need to be washed and thoroughly rinsed in hot soapy water.  In addition, rinse off dishes that have food residue on them prior to putting them in a dishwasher.  You may also want to consider labeling some flatware and cookware as "allergen-free" and only use these items to prepare and serve allergen-free foods.  Also wash these separate from other kitchen items. If your child has a food allergy, it can be difficult to limit items in your house.  This is especially true if you have other children in the home with you.  If you need to include foods in your home that contain an allergen one child has, consider labeling your foods as either "safe"...

TL;DR in English: Clean out your kitchen. Wash and sanitize all cookware and flatware. Consider labeling foods "safe" or "unsafe". Keep foods contained to one room. Take extra precautions when cooking.

Put your problem on paper with pen. This will help the problem seem more tangible and will make you more likely to try to solve it when it is written down and staring you in the face.  For example, if your problem is that you don't have enough money, you could write that down. You could also write down the implications of that problem to drive home the point and motivate you to solve it. An implication of not having enough money might be that you are stressed out and that you can't enjoy the kinds of things that you would like to. If the problem isn't something private, put the list somewhere you see it so you don't forget to act on it. For example, you might put it on your fridge. Share all the relevant details of your problem with someone that you trust with the information, such as a friend, family member, teacher, or parent. At the least it can help to reduce stress. . In addition, she or he may be able to offer you advice that you hadn't thought of before. If you’re going to talk to someone else who has the same problem, you will need to be tactful. Let her know that you just want to learn so you can solve it, too. Your feelings can act as guides that let you know how your problem solving is going. Feelings are important, even the negative ones. If you feel very frustrated or angry, for example, rather than trying to brush those feelings under the rug, acknowledge them and assess their cause. By finding the source, you may also find solutions to your problem.  It’s okay to feel upset, angry, worried so long as you know that being upset, angry or worried won’t help solve the problem. You will have to take action to solve the problem. Still, these emotions can help you realize you have a problem, as well as suggest its source. Some ways to calm down when you're feeling upset include: focusing on your breathing, count to 10 (or higher if you need to), gently talk yourself down (tell yourself "it's going to be alright," or "take it easy."). Try going for a walk or run or listening to calming music. If your...

TL;DR in English: Write your problem down. Talk about the problem. Embrace your feelings. See a counselor.

Talking through your worries and insecurities with someone can be more helpful than you think. If you think you have a real problem with clinginess, it might be best to talk it through with a professional counsellor. Your school may have one that is there for exactly this purpose, and you can talk to them about anything that's worrying you. It can be helpful to talk with a professional because they can be more objective than friends or family sometimes.  If you can't or don't want to talk with a counsellor, consider talking with a parent or a trusted adult. Talk to them about how you're feeling and what's going on in your life. Tell them that you are worried you are being too clingy with friends, but you're not sure what to do about it. They have probably been there before and can offer advice about how to handle it. Try to remember that friends are not all there is to life even if they do play a big and important part in it. Remember that you have responsibilities at home and at school or work. Make sure that you are taking care of all of those things instead of neglecting them to always be around your friends.  The same goes for your family. Besides your friends, you have a family that cares about you. Spend time nurturing your relationships with your siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. These are the people that will be there for you no matter what. Spending time with family can be a great way to start feeling more secure. In most cases, your family knows you better than anyone else and accepts you all the same. If you have secure relationships with your family members, you can learn how to act that way with friends, too. In addition to making sure that you are taking care of your responsibilities and family, find things that you enjoy doing alone. It is good to learn to just be with yourself and feel comfortable with it. If you already have a hobby that you enjoy, then great. If you don't, try out a few things you've been curious about and see what grabs your attention. Many hobbies have...

TL;DR in English: Talk with someone about your insecurities. Keep up with your family and responsibilities. Have hobbies that you do on your own. Build your self-confidence.

Be sure to urinate before massaging your uterus. A full bladder will press against the uterus, making it relax and bleed more extensively. Emptying your bladder will also make it easier to concentrate on the massage. Choose a comfortable spot to lie down for your massage (e.g. your bed or a yoga mat). If possible, choose a quiet room with very few distractions. Lie completely flat on your back. Hold your hand flat and use the entire length of it to press downwards on your abdomen, starting just below your navel. As you press down, rub your hand in a gentle, circular motion. Brace yourself for cramping or extra bleeding, which is likely to occur during the first few moments of the massage. If pain relievers have been approved by your physician, take ibuprofen before massaging your uterus to reduce the pain from cramping. To ensure that you perform postnatal uterine massage properly, ask your obstetrician, nurse, or midwife to demonstrate it prior to attempting it yourself. If you are concerned that the massage is not working, or that something may be wrong, contact your physician immediately. Signs of a problem could include:  Severe abdominal pain Pain when urinating Dizziness or fainting Vaginal bleeding that gets heavier over time (instead of getting progressively lighter)

Be doubtful of any new Air Jordans that are sold for under $100. Make sure the shoes are labeled “100% Authentic. Confirm that the shoes come with the right box. Avoid online purchases unless the images are clear and detailed. Avoid buying Air Jordans from an overseas seller. Check seller feedback on sites like eBay.

These events are great for networking. As booths hand out cards to you, don't be afraid to hand one back, though you should try to stay in the same industry.  These shows are even better if you can get your own booth or table. If you do, be sure to have plenty of business cards in plain view on your table. That way, if people like what they see, they can take a card away with them. Don't just think big. Think about what makes sense for your business. For instance, if you own a dog grooming business, it makes sense to visit a dog park and make connections. However, outside of events where networking is expected, it's important to not be too pushy and to respect people's space when asked. While it's always important to respect someone's space, in a social gathering like a dog park, the person may not be expecting a business pitch and may get annoyed if you try to give them a card. If that happens, apologize and walk away. If you just hand someone your business card with no pretense, it's likely going into the trash. You have to actually talk to the person and make a connection.  For instance, if you go up and say, "Hi, here's my business card," that's not likely to work. That's the equivalent of walking up to someone and saying, "Hi, let's go on a date." Instead, introduce yourself, and try to make a connection with the person. You could say, "Hi, I'm Jess Smith. What brings you to this event today?" Any number of openers can get a conversation going. Another one could be, "Hi, I'm Jess Smith. I work for a metal pipe company. What about you?" Everyone likes to talk about themselves. The more you can get the other person talking, the more likely they'll feel like they've really made a connection with you.  You don't need to spend 30 minutes talking to one person, though that would certainly be making a connection. However, you do need to spend several minutes getting to know the person. Ask questions like, "What's your business?" "What's your job like?" or "What do you do for a living?" While you might be...

TL;DR in English: Go to trade shows, networking events, and conventions. Make a personal connection. Focus on them. Don't hand them out indiscriminately. Ask for their business card. Always follow up.

Usually, kebabs contain meat and/or vegetables, though seafood like  scallops, fruit, and other ingredients are also sometimes used. Choose a selection of ingredients that suit you - there's no "wrong" answer here. Popular choices for kebab meat are chicken, steak, pork, sausage, lamb, shrimp, and fish; for vegetables are onions, mushrooms, green or red peppers, courgette, and tomatoes; and for fruit are pineapples, peaches, or apples. While any combination of the ingredients above should work well, certain kebab dishes with set recipes can also be attempted. Many traditional kebab recipes use lamb as their main meat. Below are just a few traditional recipes and their key ingredients  Kofta kebabs - lamb pieces seasoned with many spices Chelow kebabs - boneless lamb served over saffron rice Sheekh kebabs - ground lamb seasoned with cilantro and mint and prepared in a tandoor (traditional Indian oven) If you plan to grill meat, you may want to prepare a marinade, though it's certainly not essential. Soaking your meat in a marinade before grilling can give it the flavor of your marinade ingredients, creating new taste combinations that wouldn't be possible with un-marinated meat. Typically, to marinate meat, the meat is put in an airtight container (like a ziplock bag) with, at the very least, oil and an acid (for instance, vegetable oil and lemon juice). Usually, additional seasonings and herbs are added to these base liquids to build more complex flavors. For example, here are the ingredients an all-purpose teriyaki marinade that's suitable for beef, chicken, and more: Vegetable oil Soy sauce Lemon juice Garlic Pepper Worcestershire sauce When it comes to kebab grilling, you generally have two options in terms of skewers - metal or wood/bamboo. The former are sturdier and more durable, but more expensive, while the latter are cheaper and more convenient. If you choose to use wooden or bamboo skewers, soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking. This will help keep them moist during...

TL;DR in English: Choose a kebab recipe or pick your own ingredients. If using a recipe that contains meat, consider marinating. Soak wooden kabob skewers in a bowl of water. Cut your ingredients into small pieces. Skewer the ingredients end-to-end on the sticks.

Once you see the woman you like, let her see you notice her. Don't be shy about it. You can even smile at her, or approach her, if the timing is right. Don't cower in the corner. Just come up to her, even if it's only to say hi. If you want to be assertive, you have to say what you mean and mean what you say. Be clear, even if you're only introducing yourself. It's okay to get nervous, but try to minimize fidgeting, stumbling over your words, or looking at the floor because she's too beautiful. It may be hard to get experience when you're only sixteen years old, but every little thing you do counts. This doesn't mean that you should try to hook up with as many girls as possible or to backpack across Europe to understand what life "is really all about." It does mean that you should do what you can to broaden your horizons, so the older woman will see that you have depth and that you have some things to teach her, too. If she constantly feels like she knows everything and has to "train" you to be an adult, then things will get old fast. Here are some ways to get some experience:  Travel. Spend your summer or even your spring break traveling to a new place, whether it's to Costa Rica on a service trip or just to visit a relative a few states away. The more places you see and people you meet, the more you'll see that the world is bigger than your own backyard or hometown. Date. You shouldn't date girls just to get experience, but dating even a girl or two can help you understand how to deal with women, and can also help you get some experience when it comes to hooking up. An older woman will be less likely to date you if it's obvious that you've never even had another girlfriend, because that's a big burden for her to take on. Immerse yourself in a variety of activities. You may love baseball, but if baseball is the only thing you know and love, you may run out of things to talk about with the older woman pretty quickly. Spend your Sundays volunteering, join the French culture club or school paper, or just do a...

TL;DR in English: Get some experience. Be mature.

There’s no set amount of water that you’ll need to add. Instead, scoop the primer into the bucket or cup that you’ll be using to hold it. Then, add a little bit of water at a time while stirring the gesso and continue adding water until it has the consistency of a heavy cream.  Your gesso will probably be really thick, so it’s important to dilute it to make it easier to apply and smooth out. It’s better to shoot for too little water rather than too much, since if you add too much water to your gesso, your only choice is to start this process over. Go from the top of the canvas to the bottom, stroking parallel to the length of the canvas. Cover the canvas completely while also spreading the primer as evenly and thinly as possible.  Try to create as flat a surface as possible with the gesso. For best results, use a stiff brush with relatively firm fibers. If your canvas is pretty big, you can also use a roller brush instead. Be sure to paint the edges of the canvas as well; these can sometimes be hard to hit with just vertical strokes. Gesso doesn’t take long to dry, but give it at least an hour to completely dry for best results. Use fine sandpaper to give your gesso a once-over and give it a smooth texture moving forward.  If you don’t want your canvas to have a smooth texture, you can choose to skip this part. Be sure to brush off the dust from your canvas after you sand the gesso. While the gesso is drying, take this time to clean off your brush. If you leave the gesso on the bristles for too long, it will be very difficult to remove. When you go to apply this second coat of gesso, be sure to turn the canvas 90 degrees first. This way, when you apply the primer with vertical strokes, these strokes will be perpendicular to the ones you used for the first coat.  Using perpendicular strokes will make the finish of your texture much more even. You can apply as many coats of primer as you like, but most people choose to apply 2 for a smoother texture. Just 1 coat of gesso will give your canvas a relatively...

TL;DR in English: Stir your primer and add a touch of water to it to dilute it. Use a wide brush to apply the gesso in vertical strokes. Allow this first coat to dry, then lightly sand it to smooth it out. Repeat these steps to apply a second coat using perpendicular strokes. Sand the gesso after it’s dried for a smoother surface.

Many of these shoes are limited edition and sell out quickly, so there is no motivation for a seller to drop the price below retail value. It is very rare to find Jordans for under $100. If the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. ” If you’re looking at a pair online that are listed just as “Authentic” you should be suspicious. Don’t buy Air Jordan shoes that are advertised as “custom,” “sample,” or “variant.” This indicates that Nike did not commission them. If you’re looking at Jordans online and no style number is included, email the seller to inquire about it. Fake Jordans are often sold in boxes that list details which don’t match the shoes themselves. Real boxes will feature correct colorway descriptions and all style numbers should match. If the shoes you’re considering don’t come with a box at all, purchasing them is not recommended. When buying shoes online, make sure multiple pictures are posted and you can clearly see the detail in each one. If a photo of the interior tag with the style number isn’t included, email the seller to request one. Stock photos of shoes are usually a red flag. The descriptions should be clear, not vague. If the images provided are extremely small, ask the seller for better ones. If they aren’t provided, avoid the purchase. Unless you are sure of the seller’s authenticity, avoid overseas purchases. Nike may import from their overseas factories, but they supply from major hubs in the United States and Europe. Most fake Jordans are manufactured in Asia, especially China. Your chances of purchasing fake Jordans go up substantially if the shoes are shipped from Asia. Look for established sellers with a lot of solid feedback. Avoid buying from sellers who have very little or no customer feedback; the merchandise is most likely inauthentic. Before you bid on a pair of Jordans, do your homework and make sure all of the information and pictures look right. Trust your gut; if something feels off about the sale, it’s safer to avoid it and buy from someone else.
