Call emergency responders if you have severe infection or bleeding. Call your doctor if you have signs of complications developing. Follow your doctor's instructions for washing the wound. Avoid infecting or reopening the wound. Follow your doctor's guidelines for returning to your normal life.

Press lightly with your pencil to make a faint circle. Sketch the circle so it's as wide as you'd like the whole skull to be. You'll use this outline to make the top portion of the skull. If you're struggling to draw a circle, use a compass or trace a round object that's as large as you want the skull to be. Before you start shading in the skull, take an eraser and remove the horizontal and vertical guidelines that are still visible. Lightly erase the lines for the circle as well. Take care to not erase the actual drawing when you're removing the guidelines.

TL;DR in English: Make a circle. Erase unnecessary guidelines.

While you normally don't want to let kids have unlimited time on their tablets or video game consoles, if they'll be out of school for a while, it's probably a good idea to be a little more relaxed about the rules. Not only will that help your children pass the time quietly, but it might help them see social distancing as fun, rather than stressful and scary.  Try downloading fun, educational apps like ABCmouse to help younger children learn reading and math skills, or Duolingo to help older students learn a new language.  Keep in mind that some apps will require a subscription, but you may also be able to find free apps or some with free trials. Creating art is a fun way to pass the time for people of all ages. Even better, it can help you find a creative way to express some of the emotions that you might be experiencing during a stressful situation like an illness outbreak. And don't be afraid to get messy, since you'll have plenty of time for cleanup. There are tons of ways that you can make art, including painting, drawing, writing stories, making music, sculpting, or even creating tie-dye! While cleaning might not seem like the most fun way to spend your time, it can actually be very good for you mentally. If you have children, get them involved, too—seeing a project through to the end can give them a sense of purpose and accomplishment. For instance, you might clean all of your windows, pull weeds from the garden, or organize your attic to while away an afternoon. Getting plenty of physical activity is as important as your mind as it is for your body, so if you're able, try to spend some time every day exercising, and encourage everyone in your home to do the same. That might be as simple as kicking a ball around outside if you're able to go out, or you could have a quick dance party inside if you need to stay in.  Exercise is an excellent way to burn off some of the stress of social distancing. In addition to getting your heart rate up, make sure you're also getting up and stretching regularly...

TL;DR in English: Ease up on your screen time restrictions. Work on craft projects together. Take on a spring cleaning project. Exercise for 15-30 minutes a day. Play outside. Have children complete any schoolwork that's assigned to them. Try a virtual museum tour for a fun way to learn something new.

For 3D, the best subject is one that is completely still, such as landscapes. Start by taking one photo as you normally would. Now, keep the camera level and move it to the side before taking your second photo. One way to do this is to move your camera to the other side or take a step to the side. Do not move too far. The subject should appear identical in the photos besides the very small shift to the right or left. Any software will do, as long as it allows you to edit layers and color channels. Photoshop is a common choice and GIMP is a comparable free option. Click on the photos or open them through the software’s file menu. They should open in separate windows. Select one of the images using Ctrl+a for PC or ⌘ Command+a for Mac. The entire image should be selected. Copy it with Ctrl+c or ⌘ Command+c. You can close this window. Navigate to the window with the other image and click on it. Now paste your image by pressing Ctrl+v or ⌘ Command+v. The image you pasted should already be labeled as a layer. The other one will be labeled as a background. Double-click on the background image. Name it left or right so you remember which image it is, then press “ok” to convert it to a layer. You can also name the other image by double-clicking it. Double-click on the image. Find the boxes labeled R, G, and B under the layer style box. Click the R one only. When the check mark is gone, the image will only have green and blue colors. Double-click on the right image. Find the channel boxes on the layer style box again. This time remove the check marks from the G and B boxes. You may need to adjust the positioning of the layers to achieve the desired effect. The move tool is in the upper left corner of Photoshop’s left toolbar or in the toolbox menu in GIMP. Use it to drag the right layer towards the left one. Pick a point you can focus on near the center of the image, such as the edge of the land to the right of the pier in the image above. Move the right image towards the left one until the piece of land in both...

TL;DR in English: Take two photos of your subject. Open both images in photo editing software. Copy one image. Paste your image in the other window. Convert the background to a layer. Disable the left image’s red channel. Disable the right image’s green and blue channels. Move one of the images. Align the images over a focal point. Crop the leftovers. Save your image.

To keep your zippers in good shape, you should make sure all the zippers on your clothes are closed before you throw them in the wash. Do up zippers on your pants, your shirts, your skirts, your dresses and your shorts. To make sure the zippers stay closed, you can use safety pins. Loop the safety pin through the zipper slider and attach it to the top of the garment so the zipper stays closed in the washing machine and the dryer. High heat can be damaging to zippers, especially zippers made of plastic. Dry clothing with zippers on low heat and minimize the amount of time the clothing is in the dryer. The tumbling of the dryer can cause damage to certain zippers. You should also take clothing with zippers out of the dyer right after the drying cycle is done so you can lay them flat. Straightening out the clothing and the zipper on a flat surface will prevent the zipper from drying with crooked teeth. This could prevent zipper jams and other issues down the road. Don’t worry too much if there is puckering around zipper after it has been through the wash. Most clothing will shrink a little in the wash and this could cause puckering around the zipper. The puckering is usually not too obvious, depending on the material of the clothing and the material in the zipper. Clothing made with 100 percent cotton is especially prone to shrinkage, which can cause noticeable puckering around the cotton-polyester zipper tabs. You may want to hang dry clothing made of cotton and other materials that are prone to shrinkage, rather than run them through the dryer.

TL;DR in English: Close all zippers before putting your clothes in the wash. Dry clothing with zippers on low heat. Expect some puckering around the zipper.

This may mean that you need medical intervention immediately to treat the infection or prevent you from losing too much blood. Signs to watch for include:  Sudden, extreme swelling at the site where the catheter entered your body. It is important that an active infection get treated quickly to prevent it from spreading to your heart and other vital organs. Bleeding that does not stop. If lying down and pressing on the wound for several minutes does not cause the wound to clot and stop bleeding, get immediate medical attention. The emergency medical responders will be able to help you stop the bleeding. If you have the following signs you should speak to a doctor immediately. He may recommend that you have someone drive you to the emergency room. Any of the following symptoms indicate that your wound needs care:  Numbness or tingling in the arm or leg where the catheter was inserted. Increasing bruising. This would suggest that you might have bleeding under the skin. Swelling or drainage at the site of the wound. Fever. The doctor will probably want you to wash the site daily to prevent infections. You may have a bruise, slight swelling, pinkness, and / or a small lump about a half an inch in diameter at the place where the catheter was inserted. Your doctor may recommend:  Changing the bandage daily. If you require more than a simple Band Aid, the nurse in the hospital will teach you how to do it before you are discharged. Washing gently with soap and water. Do not scrub because this could open the wound. Not putting any other medications, lotions, or ointments on the site unless instructed to do so by your doctor. You can help promote healing by keeping the wound clean and dry. In addition, there are several things you can do to reduce the likelihood of getting an infection or reopening the wound. The length of time your doctor wants you to remain quiet may depend upon your health condition and particular medical history. Your doctor may give you the following instructions:  Do not take a bath, go in a...

TL;DR in English:


Remain calm. Acknowledge the possible offense in order to let it go. Resist passing judgment. Search for alternative meanings and motivations. Be aware of your energy level. Reply with grace. Consider outcomes. Use positive self-talk

This project can easily get messy, so make sure to protect the area around you. You can use a sheet of plastic, a canvas drop cloth, a piece of cardboard, or even an old sheet to catch any spills. Some good areas to paint include outdoors, on cement or blacktop, or on a flat surface indoors, such as a table or hardwood floor. For your base, choose a stretched canvas in whatever size you would like. To achieve the smooth, blended look of an ombre painting, you'll also need some flat, wide-bristle brushes. Though you can adjust your brush sizes based on the size of your canvas, 2 in (5.1 cm) or 3 in (7.6 cm) brushes often work well with most sizes.  For example, you could start by experimenting on small canvases, which include 4 by 6 inches (10 by 15 cm) or 5 by 7 inches (13 by 18 cm). Medium-sized canvases are perfect for hanging and displaying. They can range from 8 by 10 inches (20 by 25 cm) to 12 by 16 inches (30 by 41 cm). Large canvases make for eye-catching statement pieces. They often range in size from 18 by 24 inches (46 by 61 cm) to 36 by 48 inches (91 by 122 cm). Make sure to use acrylic paint that you can paint with straight out of the tube. Once you've chosen the 2 paint colors you'll be using, pour them next to each other onto your palette. Leave some space for mixing the 2 colors together. Adjust the amounts of paint depending on the size of canvas you'll be using.  For example, if you're painting an 8 by 10 inches (20 by 25 cm) canvas, you'll likely need to squeeze out a 2 inches (5.1 cm) circle of each paint color on your palette.  For a simple, authentic ombre effect, only use 2 colors. Adding in extra colors makes the mixing complicated, and the result won't have a true ombre effect. You can use a cheap plastic palette, paper plate, square of glass, or ceramic plate for a palette. Keep in mind that a disposable palette can make the clean-up process a lot easier! A retarder is an agent that you can add to the paint to slow its drying time and make it easier to blend. Acrylic paint dries very...

TL;DR in English: Lay down a drop cloth or piece of cardboard to keep the area clean. Choose a canvas size and some flat paint brushes. Squeeze out a large amount of each acrylic paint color onto your palette. Mix a few drops of retarder into the paint to slow the drying process.

Unless you’re actively being attacked, release your choke hold after 10 seconds. 15 seconds is the maximum amount of time that you can apply pressure to the neck without risking permanent damage. If you’ve correctly applied pressure to the neck’s major arteries, your opponent should go limp after 5-9 seconds. If you apply too much pressure to your opponent’s throat, you run the risk of damaging their windpipe. The goal of a sleeper hold is to restrict blood flow, not air, so only use force on the sides of your opponent’s neck. The universal sign of surrender in martial combat is a light double-tap on an exposed section of your skin. This means that your opponent is giving up. Release your grip immediately if your opponent taps on your forearm while you’re choking them.  You will see mixed martial artists do this when they’ve been placed in a submission hold that they can’t get out of. This is where the term “tap out” comes from. The sleeper choke hold restricts blood flow to the brain. This means that individuals with heart or blood pressure problems can suffer a serious cardiac event if their blood flow is disrupted. Never perform this move on someone struggling with cardiovascular problems.

TL;DR in English: Release your choke hold after 10 seconds unless you’re in immediate danger. Don’t restrict your opponent’s airflow and only apply pressure to the arteries. Stop choking your opponent if they tap on your forearm. Avoid using the choke hold on someone with cardiovascular issues.

Very few people can picket 12 hours a day, so you should set up several teams to picket for a certain amount of time. Name a captain for each team. This person will be responsible for making sure strikers get to the picket line on time. Your captains should be your most responsible union members. Ideally, picket teams should be more than two or three people. Try to aim for a dozen or more, if possible. Picketing is a great way to increase visibility. If possible, picket on the sidewalk or at locations that are visible to the road. You should also picket at the entrance and exits to the property. However, you cannot block entrances. If you do, then your strike is illegal. Signs should be easy to read from a distance and memorable. Text-based signs with limited colors work best. Remember you are creating a message, not a work of art. Bold black lettering on a white or yellow background stands out.  Choose your materials wisely. For example, you should use foam-core board, since it is lightweight but also rigid.   For a handle, use hollow cardboard tubing since many cities won’t allow sticks. An unruly picket line can damage your union’s cause in the public’s eye. Keep drugs and alcohol out of the picket line. Team captains should send unruly picketers home until they can get control of themselves. Strikers cannot threaten non-striking employees, management, or management representatives. Your strike might start enthusiastically, but workers can soon become demoralized as weeks pass without work or a new paycheck. Try to keep spirits high on and off the picket line. Consider the following:  Bring in speakers. Your national union might send someone down to give a speech. You can also ask local university faculty to speak about the importance of labor strikes. Let people take breaks to recharge. Maybe a few days off the picket line will reinvigorate them. Come up with fun chants. These will build solidarity on the picket line. Offer mental health services. You might be able to find a sympathetic therapist who will...

TL;DR in English: Divide into teams. Choose your locations. Create vivid signs. Maintain order. Keep your strikers motivated. Videotape your picketing. Invite the press.

If in doubt, install a clean copy of the OS on a new partition of your computer or on a bootable USB. This isn't a mandatory step, but if you want to be truly secure it's a good idea. As of July 2016, the most popular, open source paper wallet creation site is bitaddress.org and these instructions will use that site. Verify that you are on the correct bitaddress.org site by checking the https certificates by clicking to the left of your browser URL as seen in the photo. Advanced users can be even more secure by downloading a copy of BitAddress from GitHub, verifying the software using the PGP signature, and moving it to a fully offline computer via USB key. You can then run the BitAddress code offline by clicking the HTML file. You can do this by turning off your wifi router and or unplugging your ethernet cable. Killing the web connection reduces odds that your private keys will not be leaked over the internet without you knowing it. Bitadress.org was designed to run just fine without an internet connection. This random movement generates a random seed that BitAddress will use to generate your wallet. Congrats, you just created a basic, low security paper wallet!  On the left is a your Bitcoin address. In the example in the photo the address is "15TfQt6RyNrqjJknd3b3CRkbwfXJ3i3BNC".  Think of this as your email address.  It's OK to share it in public so people (or yourself) can send Bitcoin to the address. On the right is your private key. In this example it's "L4vfUiBm9XGeaXk8HWPkQfiTogQoZC6kzNnyPnqGEoBQaRXoAYkT" Think of this as the password to your email address.  Never, ever share your private key with anyone or store it on a computer or the web.  Anyone who can access your private key can immediately and irretrievably empty your wallet. If you are storing a small amount of Bitcoin and are OK with low security you can print out this wallet and stop now.  If you need higher security continue following the steps in Part 2 of this article. Treat it like gold or jewelry.  If someone finds it and takes it,...

TL;DR in English: Start with a computer that you are reasonably confident is malware and virus free. Using private browser mode, go to a bitcoin paper wallet creation site. Once bitaddress.org loads, turn off the internet on your computer. Move your mouse around the screen wildly as instructed by the site. Keep going until you see that you've created two QR codes and large strings of apparently random numbers and characters as seen in the photo. Store your paper wallet somewhere secure.

Allow time to pass before responding to someone you feel is offending you. If you are too easily offended, it has probably become an automatic response for you. This means that there is no time between feeling offended and responding as if you’ve been hurt. So, make time to pause and question whether or not you want to take offense.  If the emotions are running too high to just pause, try counting to ten in your head. Learning and practicing mindfulness exercises regularly will make this step easy as pie. Mindfulness involves learning how to strategically detach from strong emotions so that more measured responses can be formulated.  One mindfulness exercise is to spend time focusing on your breath. When you attend to the sensation of your breath coming and going, you gain a stronger connection to your feelings rather than pesky, automatic thoughts. When letting go of a habitual response like taking offense, there’s no use trying to shut out your knee-jerk thoughts. Instead of ignoring what your mind is telling you, listen to it. That way you can determine for yourself whether or not to purse the offense and make a scene.  If someone says that your haircut might not be the best style for you, your head might be screaming “Oh no she didn’t! Give her a piece of your mind!” Hear this anger and feel your urge to lash out in response. This way you can see that as just one of many possible ways that you could respond. It’s also important to see how angry you feel inside so that you can gauge your next move. For example, if you feel enraged then you may not want to respond humorously (since humor in your state might not be perceived as humor at all). Being certain of our interpretation of what a person means or where she is coming from can turn anything into an offense. Consider great works of art; their beauty comes from the possibility of many different interpretations. No interpretation is right, but each one has the power to make us feel differently.  Imagine that an acquaintance just told you that they decided...

Each person’s experience with grief is different. That means that no level of expertise will equip you to tell the person in mourning how he should respond. Your role is to provide company, listen, and validate their feelings.  Don’t tell, listen. Constantly reinforce that their response is normal and natural. Encourage them to use their own skills to cope with grief. If they are an artist, encourage them to use this ability to express his feelings. Help them understand and recognize their feelings. Help them develop a schedule that allows them to manage their daily tasks while reducing unnecessary outside stressors. Remember that your job is to be there, not to take away the pain. That is impossible. Your job is to support them, not to try to fix them. It is important to make it clear that you understand the person's feelings. Be sure that they know that such feelings are natural and that people experience grief differently. It might be useful to explain some of the common responses to grief and make it clear that they are natural.  Those who experience instrumental grief focus on problem solving and try to control emotional responses. Those who experience intuitive grieving have intense emotional experiences that might include depression and thoughts about mortality.  It is common for people to blame themselves, feel anger, hopelessness, anxiety, and withdrawal from the world. Don’t ask leading questions or “yes” and “no” questions. Ask big, broad questions, that encourage him to think about his feelings and explore the subjects that he is interested in. Make it clear that you want to know what he feels, but are not questioning the validity of his feelings.  Do not ask “why” questions. These make it sound as if you do not understand or support his feelings.

A smart buyer knows that they have the inherent bargaining edge if they choose to use it: being willing to walk away. A person who isn't willing to walk away from a deal — at any point in the negotiation process — is likely a person who will overpay for their car. A smart dealer may try draw out the process, making you feel like you've invested a good amount of time in a car, and that walking away is the same thing as abandoning that investment. Don't fall for that trap. Know that any time you spend researching or negotiating, even if the negotiation falls apart, is an investment in itself and will eventually pay off. Car dealerships know that they can generally make money off of people who decide to lease a car. The prevailing myth that leasing a car is always bad isn't quite accurate; if you plan on keeping the car for less than three years, it's an okay deal. But if you want to hold onto your car for a good deal of time, paying that lease will usually leave you worse off than if you negotiated to buy the car. If you do decide to take a car on a test drive, keep your emotions in check. Dealers know that people get emotionally attached to cars when they take them for a test drive. When a customer is emotionally attached to a car, they are far likelier to overspend because they are less willing to walk away from a bad deal. Some things you can do during a test drive to control your enthusiasm:  Ask the salesperson for quiet, if necessary. During a test drive, a good salesperson will keep talking about all the features and amenities of a car, trying to convince you it's the best deal. They're trying to get you emotionally attached, do not fall for this trick. If the salesperson won't give it a rest, ask them for silence point blank. Bring your somebody else with you on the drive.

Place 4 basa fillets on the sheet so they're in a single layer. You'll also need to move an oven rack to the center of the oven. Sprinkle the fillets with 1 teaspoon (2 g) of ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon (5.5 g) of salt, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of lemon juice from 1 lemon over both sides of the fillets. Freshly squeezed lemon juice will have the strongest flavor, but you can use bottled lemon juice. Set the fish aside while you combine the spice mixture. The basa will absorb the flavors of the salt, pepper, and lemon juice as it marinates. Since the fish is marinating briefly, you can leave it at room temperature. Pour 4 tablespoons (59 ml) of vegetable oil into a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons (32 g) of red chili paste. Stir in 2 teaspoons (4 g) of grated fresh ginger, 4 cloves of minced garlic, and 4 tablespoons (55 g) of tomato puree. Spoon the spicy mixture evenly over each fillet on the baking sheet. Use the back of the spoon to spread it so the fillets are completely coated. Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and cook the fish until it flakes when you drag a fork across the center. You can also insert an instant-read thermometer into the center to see if the fish has reached 145 °F (63 °C). Turn off the oven and remove the baking sheet. Serve the hot fish with steamed rice and roasted vegetables. If you'd like to store leftover fish, put the fillets into an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 3 days.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 350 °F (177 °C) and lay the fish on a baking sheet. Season the basa with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Marinate the fish for 15 minutes. Combine the oil, chili, ginger, garlic, and tomato puree. Coat the basa with the spicy mixture. Bake the spicy basa for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and serve the spicy basa fillets.

High school is the time when you start discovering things about yourself. During the first two years of high school, begin understanding what your interests are, what your aspirations are, and what your future career plans might be. Engaging in your classes helps you in a variety of ways. You get more out of your classes by participating, and you build better relationships with your teachers, which can help you in many ways in the long run.  Stay awake in class and pay attention. Don't sleep in class or text your friends if you are bored. Sit in the middle of the room or towards the front. Sitting closer to the board and the teacher will help you focus and deter you from getting distracted by things like your cellphone, classmates, and letting your mind wander to other things. Don't worry about looking stupid in front of your class; raise your hand and ask the question. If you are struggling with something in class or from your homework, don't sit there confused.  Answer questions when your teacher asks them. Do not be afraid to give the wrong answer; no one is right all the time. Participate in the class discussion. Use the main ideas, key words, and ideas you discovered in your readings or the class lessons. Offer insight or ideas when the teacher opens the class to student input. Each school has a list of required classes that students must complete to graduate. This includes a certain number of classes of language arts, math, foreign languages, and even humanities. During your freshman year, find out what classes are required. Ask your teacher or guidance counselor for help on figuring out graduation requirements. Attendance is important. Every day you miss school, you are falling behind in the work in your classes. Regular attendance is essential for staying engaged in your classes.  Most schools have an attendance policy. If you miss too many days, you may negatively impact your grade in classes or your graduation eligibility. Do miss school if you are very sick, like running a fever, vomiting, or have...

Paint and stain won’t adhere to a glossy or dirty base, so it is important to sand down the cabinets prior to painting them. If you have a block sander or an electric sander, now would be the time to use it. Use 100-grit sandpaper to smooth down the entire surface of each cabinet; sand until the wood looks dull/matte. As you’ll surely find out, sanding can be messy business. Before moving onto the fun part of the project, it is necessary to clean off the newly-sanded cabinets. Use a damp, lint-free cloth to wipe down the surface of each of the cabinets until there is no sawdust in sight. . If you decided to go for a base color or stain other than the original color, now is the time to apply it. Paint on a layer of paint or stain to each of the cabinets, and wait the package-directed curing time for it to dry. Follow this up with a second coat of paint or stain to finish the job. Wait for the paint to dry completely until moving on to the antiquing process. The moment you’ve been waiting for: antiquing your cabinets. Dip your paintbrush into the antiquing glaze and wipe off the excess stain, to prevent dripping. Brush over the parts of the cabinet you want the antique effect applied to, using a very light coat. Then, use a clean, dry, lint-free rag to wipe off the stain. The result should be some areas of the wood appearing worn and old, without looking fake or dark. When you brush on the glaze, go in the direction of the grain of the wood. Repeat this process of brushing on antiquing glaze and wiping it off, over all of your cabinets. Try to add equal amounts of the antiquing glaze to each cabinets, so that you maintain uniformity across all the wood. Follow the package directions for drying time. . Although you don’t have to, some people like to add a distressed effect to their cabinets to make them appear even more worn and ‘vintage’. There are a number of ways of doing so, including sanding down the wood over the top of the fresh antiquing glaze, using a hammer to hit the wood and create dents, and lightly...

A French kiss shouldn’t just come out of nowhere. It should happen naturally at a time when two people are sharing an intimate and private moment together, and that means being physically close. To help set the mood, start by finding a way to be alone with the person so you can get close without other people hanging around and interrupting.   If you two are at a party, go for a walk or find somewhere quiet that you can talk. If you're hanging out together, sit down beside the person on a couch, chair, or bench. You can tell your partner that you're interested without saying anything at all. Your partner will subconsciously pick up on your subtle cues, and this will indicate your attraction and desire. You can drop these hints by:  Parting your lips slightly and licking them Smoothing down your hair or clothing Raising your eyebrows slightly as your partner talks Touching your face frequently Orienting your entire body toward your partner Smile a lot Eye contact is another powerful element of body language, and when two people are physically close to each other and make frequent eye contact, this will raise the level of intimacy between them. Frequent eye contact will indicate your attraction, and help you assess whether the chemistry you feel is reciprocated.   For instance, if your partner keeps looking away instead of making eye contact, it’s possible that person is just nervous, but it might also be a sign of lack of interest. On the other hand, if your partner keeps locking eyes with you, this is a good sign that whatever you're feeling is definitely mutual! This gentle and sensual touch will establish a physical connection between the two of you, and make the kiss much easier. Make sure you gage how the person reacts:   Leaning in or pressing into your hand is a sign of interest that says your gesture is welcome. Pulling away is a sign that physical contact isn't welcome. Don’t forget to offer some to your partner. Not only will this ensure fresh breath and a pleasant kiss, but it’s also another great...

TL;DR in English: Get close. Use your body language to flirt. Make frequent eye contact. Brush the person’s cheek. Grab some gum or mints.

The equipment for tetherball is relatively simple. Each court is composed of a ball on a rope attached to a ten foot pole. The court is divided into two sides, one for each player, that should evenly divide the pole in half. Your goal when playing tetherball is to hit the ball with your hand in a way that gets it past your opponent so that the rope winds completely around the tetherball pole. The tetherball court is divided in half and is usually marked off by chalk or a line in the cement. If there are no markers for the side boundaries, be sure to ask other players. You will be expected to stay on your side of the court while facing your opponent. Going off-sides will result in the offending player getting a penalty. Opposite of soccer rules, tetherball requires you to only touch the ball with your hands. Touching the ball with another part of your body can result in a penalty against you. Open, closed, or double handed strikes are allowed - use what works best for you! A popular house rule, sometimes called "beach tetherball," allows for the use of any part of the body during play. Using the rope, a player can launch the ball in a way that makes it difficult for opposing players to return. This is why touching the rope is considered an illegal move. Touching the tetherball pole is also illegal and will result in the immediate loss of the game for the player who touched it. A common house rule allows players to hold the rope where it meets the ball only when serving. This might seem obvious, but violating this rule can be tempting. By holding the ball for a split second, you can redirect it out of the reach of your opponent, which is illegal and referred to as "carrying."  All contact between you and the ball should result in it bouncing off your hands right away, otherwise it is considered a rule violation. Unless a house rule says otherwise, serves must also be hit and not thrown or "carried." Each time the ball crosses onto your side of the court, you are allowed a single hit. The one exception to this...

TL;DR in English: Know your goal. Stay on your side. Use your hands. Avoid touching the rope or pole. Strike the ball to return it to your opponent. Make your hits count. Ask other players about house rules. Award penalties for breaking the rules. Pole drop the tetherball for double violations.

Talking in class is a whole different ballgame, and what might seem awkward or unusual during informal conversations is sometimes perfectly appropriate and even expected in the classroom setting. The best example of this is group discussions, when it's perfectly appropriate to write out, or pre-plan comments that you might want to share with the class. In general, it can be hard to remember to bring up points you might have thought of while doing the reading in English class, or questions you had about the homework during math, so write these out and bring them up next time you're in class. Nothing wrong with a script for school. The best way to contribute to class is to ask questions. Any time you don't understand something, or feel like you're unclear about an issue or topic, raise your hand and ask a question. It's a rule of thumb that any time one student doesn't get it, there are probably five more who don't have the guts to raise their hand. Be the brave one. Only ask questions that benefit the group, or that apply to the group. It's not appropriate to raise your hand to ask, "Why did I get a B on this?" If you're having a group discussion and are struggling for something to say, there's usually good opportunities to piggy-back on other students comments, which has the effect of making it look like you're saying something, even if you're really not. Wait for someone to say something that sounds good, then chip in with, "I agree" and paraphrase it in your own words. Easy comment points. Get in the habit of working things that have already been said and translating it into your own version of what was said, adding bits and pieces to it as you go. This is a great way to contribute to class without really having anything to say that wasn't already said. Of course, it's better if you add a little, to make it worth your teacher's while.  If someone says, "I think this book is really about the family dynamics and the bad stuff they're all hiding, you know?" get your translation cap on and polish up the...

TL;DR in English: Plan out a comment. Ask a question. Agree with another student's comment. Paraphrase. Aim for at least one contribution per class period.

Sometimes when vaginal pH is out of balance, you may develop a bacterial infection such as bacterial vaginosis. The symptoms of bacterial vaginosis include:  A foamy, often yellowish vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odor, often described as a “fishy” smell A burning sensation when you urinate Itchiness and irritation around the vagina Symptoms of a yeast infection are similar to those of bacterial vaginosis. These symptoms include:  An abnormal white vaginal discharge that may be either watery or thick and chunky (often described as looking like cottage cheese) Itching and burning of the vagina and labia Painful urination Redness and swelling of the area just outside of the vagina Painful intercourse Infections with the trichomonas organism are common as well. Keep in mind that many people with trichomoniasis have no symptoms. Symptoms of trichomoniasis (sometimes called “trich”) in women may include:  A frothy or foamy yellow or a gray-green colored vaginal discharge that has an unpleasant smell Vaginal itching Pain with urination If you think you may have a vaginal infection due to the smell or feeling of your vagina, then you should make an appointment with your doctor or gynecologist for a diagnosis. You should also see a doctor if you develop serious symptoms. Make sure that you call your physician right away if:  There is no improvement in your symptoms within 2-3 days You develop a fever You experience difficulty or pain on urination Sexual activity is painful or very uncomfortable You have abdominal pain

TL;DR in English: Watch for symptoms of bacterial vaginosis. Check for symptoms of a yeast infection. Identify trichomoniasis symptoms. See a doctor for a diagnosis.

A great natural way to freshen up your garbage disposal and leave your kitchen smelling great is to grind up a handful of citrus peels. Any citrus fruit will do -- orange, lemon, grapefruit, lime. The citric acid in the peels will clean the blades and eliminate odors. Afterwards, add some spice, rosemary oil, or lavender oil for an even fresher scent. Baking soda and vinegar make a great odor-busting combo. Sprinkle half a cup of baking soda into the drain, then gently pour a cup of white vinegar on top. The mixture will fizzle and bubble. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse it down with very hot or boiling water, with the garbage disposal running. Bleach is very effective at killing germs and will quickly freshen up your drain., however you don't want to use too much of it as it can also harden any grease in your disposal unit, making it difficult to remove.  Dilute a tablespoon of liquid chlorine bleach in a gallon of water and slowly pour it into your garbage disposal. Allow the bleach to sit there for a minute or two, then turn on the hot water tap and leave it running for several minutes to flush away the bleach. Borax is a safe and natural cleaning product which will effectively clean the garbage disposal and minimize odors. Simply put 3 or 4 tablespoon of Borax into the garbage disposal and allow to sit for about an hour. Then flush away with very hot or boiling water.

It’s best to practice on an empty stomach. However, if you're starving to the point where you feel weak or fuzzy-headed, eat something light like a piece of fruit, a handful of nuts, or a small cup of yogurt about 20 minutes beforehand. You can always eat a nutritious feast afterward! Stick to whole foods without a lot of oils, trans fats, or simple carbs because these will make you feel sluggish and may cause your belly to be upset. Keep your portion sizes in check before you practice because eating too much can make it uncomfortable to breathe deeply into your belly. Whether you need to go or not, it's a good idea to use the restroom before you sit down to meditate because yoga can stimulate your bowels and bladder. That way, you're more comfortable and you won't have to pause your session to use the bathroom. Do any cleansing rituals like washing your hands, feet, or face if that helps you relax.  If you do have to get up to use the restroom, do so. Be gentle with yourself (i.e., don’t judge yourself for having to pause) and take care of your body’s needs. Yoga poses that open up your hips, sides, and belly are especially helpful if you have irritable bowel disorder or other gastrointestinal issues.

TL;DR in English: Don't eat a heavy meal before you plan to practice. Use the bathroom and wash your hands, feet, and face if you like.

Think about the things that need to happen as part of the process you are trying to describe. Write down as many parts of the process as you can to get started. This is a pre-writing strategy called "listing." As you do so, try to break down the process into small, easy to understand steps. For example, if you want to explain how to make pasta, then you might write down:  Get out a pot and fill it with water. Put pot on stove and turn the heat on high. Get out pasta. Add pasta to water. Turn the heat down slightly. Cook for the time indicated on the package. Drain pasta into a colander in the sink. Once you have a basic list of steps that your readers will need to complete, look over them and make sure that they are in order. Consider whether it would make more sense to give one of your steps earlier or later in the sequence.  For example, if you are describing the process of making pasta, then you might think about whether it makes more sense to tell readers to get out the pasta before or after the water is heating up. If the process that you are describing is something that is quite complicated or that you can do without thinking about, then you may need to spend more time considering the logic of your steps. For example, if you are an experienced drummer trying to describe how to do a drum roll, then you might have to sit down at your drum set and do a few drum rolls. As you perform the steps in your process, think about what happens first, second, third, etc. Compare this sequence with your list of steps. Think about the process again and try to determine if there is any information missing from the process. Try to determine if there is anything that readers will need to do before they can complete one of your steps.  For example, you might advise your readers to set a timer when adding the pasta to the water. Or, you might advise readers to check a piece of pasta before draining the whole pot. Try reading off your steps to a friend to see if there is anything you missed. Do not elaborate on anything you...

TL;DR in English: Break down the process. Place your steps in order. Determine if you need to offer any additional information. Expand on your steps. Provide examples. Offer troubleshooting advice.

Gardening gloves will protect your hands from minor slivers, while a face mask will help prevent inhalation of dust and particles from the materials you’re working with. Having all your tools and supplies on hand will speed up the process of making your own potting mix. You’ll need:   Large receptacle for mixing: This can be a large bucket, garbage can, wheelbarrow or other container.  Container for measuring: Some of the materials will be added in smaller amounts to the potting mix. It is helpful to have a container to measure accurately. A 5-gallon bucket is a useful size, as are 1-cup measuring cups.  Water: Have a watering can and hose available.  Trowel: A trowel will be useful for mixing your materials together.  Shovel: Have a shovel ready for shoveling larger amounts of soil, peat and compost into your mix.  Hardware cloth: Hardware cloth is a wire mesh screen that will be used to push your materials through to sift out the large pieces and debris. One-quarter inch hardware cloth is ideal. It can be helpful to have a table for preparing the potting mix, especially if you’re making smaller batches in buckets. At the very least, you should have a level, open, work space that is outdoors. Put a tarp underneath your work space to catch extra dirt and other material. Use a mixing barrel or large garbage can for mixing your potting mix. There are a number of different recipes for potting mix, each of which is appropriate for different types of plants. For a general, all-purpose potting mix, use the following recipe: Measure 1 part peat moss; 2 parts compost; 1 part vermiculite; 1 part sterilized garden soil; and 1 part perlite or sand. To start, use a 5-gallon bucket as each “part.” To remove large chunks and debris, run each of your ingredients through a screen or ¼ inch hardware cloth. Hardware cloth is wire mesh available in rolls from hardware and home supply stores for $5-$10 per roll. Dump all the peat moss that you’re using into a mixing bin. It may help to start with a small batch of soil, instead...

There are many signs and symptoms of scabies. The most common and earliest one is intense itching.  The itching represents sensitization, a type of allergic reaction, to the adult female mites, their eggs, and their waste. Itching tends to be more severe at night and has the potential to interrupt the sleep of infested individuals. Along with the itching, you may develop a rash. The rash also represents an allergic reaction to the mite. The rash is typically described as pimple-like with surrounding inflammation and redness.  Mites prefer to burrow into the skin in certain parts of the body.  The most common places that adults can have an itchy rash associated with scabies are the hands, especially the webbing between the fingers, the skin folds of the wrist, elbow, or knee, the buttocks, the waist, the penis, the skin around the nipples, the armpits, the shoulder blades, and the breasts.  In children, the most common sites of infestation include the scalp, face, neck, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. When you have scabies, tiny burrows are sometimes visible on the skin. These appears as tiny raised and crooked grayish-white or skin-colored lines on the surface of the skin. They are usually a centimeter or more in length. Burrows may be difficult to find as most people have only 10 to 15 mites in an average infestation. The intense itching caused by scabies sometimes leads to sores on the skin. The sores are at high risk for infection, which is often a complication of scabies. The sores are most often infected with bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, or beta-hemolytic streptococci, which predominate on the skin.   These bacteria can also lead to inflammation of the kidneys and sometimes sepsis, which is a life-threatening bacterial infection of the blood.  To avoid this, try to be gentle on your skin and do not scratch it. If you can't help yourself, consider wearing mittens or wrapping your fingertips with band-aids to keep yourself from damaging the skin. Keep your nails trimmed short. Signs...

If you are expecting a layover, bring a book or magazine with you. If you find yourself book-less, check out one of the airport shops and purchase something there. Choose something you find engrossing; getting lost in the pages will pass the time more quickly. Have a few options on hand so you can switch back and forth when you feel like it. For instance, buy one of your favorite magazines to read when you need breaks from a dense novel. Switching gears occasionally may prevent you from getting bored with even the most thrilling of books. Getting some shut-eye is a great way to pass the time, especially during overnight layovers. Even a quick power nap can leave you feeling refreshed. If you’re traveling with other people, ask them to watch your stuff while you sleep. Do this with caution if you’re traveling by yourself, since airport theft does happen.  Some airports have designated sleeping areas with comfy chairs where you can secure your belongings. If you’re truly exhausted and facing a long layover, check out the room pricing at the airport hotel. Some airports even offer rooms that you can rent out for a few hours at a time. If you are between one long flight and another, walk around the airport and restore circulation to your legs. Many airports include public exhibits. Otherwise, you can window-shop, read regional billboards, watch airplanes, or simply look around and locate your next flight’s gate. Get some fresh air if you can. Most airports have restaurants and snack bars, even inside security. A meal will give you energy, and it will taste better and likely cost less on the ground than it would in the air. It's easy to get dehydrated when you're traveling, so grab a bottle of water or another of your favorite beverages. Find out what your airport offers before grabbing something from the closest fast food chain. Some have extremely nice restaurants with gourmet offerings. If you don’t have one with you, pick up a blank journal from one of the bookstores in the airport. You can document your...

In some cases, resistance to moving forward is caused by the horse being in pain. If it is painful when the horse steps, it will decide to avoid that movement whenever possible. So, do a thorough assessment of its health yourself. You can also get your veterinarian to look the horse over as well. Common injuries that can make a horse resistant to moving include problems with its hooves or its leg muscles. Start moving the horse in a different direction if your horse won't move straight forward. Try backing up the horse and then having it move forward. You could move the horse in a different direction and then gradually turn it in the direction you originally wanted to go.  For example, tighten the reins on one side to make your horse turn its head. While doing that, tighten your calves around the horse and ask it to move forward. At first, make the horse move in small circles. Then, reduce the pressure on the reins a little bit, just enough to make the circles a little bigger. Gradually, you can release the rest of the tension on the reins and straighten out the horse. Once your horse becomes more willing to go straight, give it the command to go forward. This will reinforce that the command is associated with that type of movement. There are some people who say that we must show horses "who's boss." However, horses are amazingly smart and they pick up on clear and compassionate discipline better than brute force. For instance, instead of lashing out in anger when a horse misbehaves, apply moderate pressure with your legs to redirect a horse and stand your ground until the horse falls in line.   A good rule of thumb is to avoid doing anything to your horse that causes it pain or injury, even if the pain is only temporary. It is better to use repetition and positive reinforcement to get a horse to follow your commands. You will have a much easier time if you train a horse kindly rather than scaring it into submission. Continue training until your horse will reliably move forward when asked. If you have a very...

TL;DR in English: Check the horse's health. Use alternative movements to get where you need to go. Avoid using excessive punishment. Do repeated training sessions. Coax the horse with treats.

It is recommended that women wear one-piece swimsuits and men wear swim trunks. In addition to getting wet during the raft excursion, many whitewater rafting trips include an opportunity to take a dip at some point during the trip. Wet suits are also often available to rent at the outfitter’s in cooler weather. Over your swimsuit, wear a lightweight shirt with an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) rating of 30 or higher. When packing, choose loose, woven materials such as wool, polypro, fleece, micro fleece, polyester or any other outdoor material that dries quickly.  Avoid any cotton clothing, especially in cooler weather. It will weigh you down and increase the release of body heat.   Do not wear anything with a hood, including ponchos and rain jackets. These are unsafe on the river.   In cooler weather, opt for a synthetic base layer, such as Capilene or polypropylene, a middle layer of fleece, and an outer waterproof jacket. If the weather is very cold, add wool socks and fleece hat that can be worn under a helmet. It's not worth the risk of losing them in the water. Cash, wallets and phones can also be left in the car. Seasoned guides will tell you sunglasses are absolutely necessary to protect your eyes from the continuous glare on the water. Bring or buy a strap for your sunglasses to keep them snugly fitted. Comfortable, well-broken-in sneakers are the best choice for your river trip. Velcro-strap sandals with a thick, rigid sole may also be worn with or without socks, however, socks are recommended as they prevent your feet from getting a sunburn. Do not pack a new pair of shoes, which will leave you sore and cause blisters. Waterproof hiking boots are also not recommended, since they fill with water and weigh you down. Water shoes are often too thin and slippery.  Avoid crocs and flip flops, which are easily lost. If a rafter shows up wearing only flip flops, a guide might offer to secure them with duct tape. Even if you do not swim, you will be very wet at the end of the day and will welcome a...

TL;DR in English: Bring a swimsuit. Pack waterproof layers. Leave jewelry, watches and accessories at home. Wear sunglasses. Wear old tennis shoes or close-toed heel-strap sandals. Pack dry clothes and a towel. Pack a wide-brimmed sun hat. Buy a large 32-oz water bottle---or even two. Bring sunscreen.

There are two basic TYPE camps of software development: Applications Development and Systems Development. Applications Development is focused on creating programs that meet the users' needs. These can range from mobile phone apps, to high-production video games, to enterprise-level accounting software. Systems Development is focused on creating and maintaining operating systems using life-cycle development. Systems Development often involves network operability and data security. Anyone can come up with ideas, but a developer will be able to turn those ideas into something tangible. Even if you only want to work on the design aspects of software, you should have some familiarity with coding and be able to create basic prototypes. There are a huge variety of programming languages that you can teach yourself. Some of the more useful and important ones include:   C - C is one of the older languages still in use, and is the basis for most of the other languages on this list. C is used to develop low-level programs, and works very closely with the computer's hardware.  C++ - This is the object-oriented version of C, and is the most popular programming language in the world. Programs such as Chrome, Firefox, Photoshop, and many others are all built with C++. It is also a very popular language for creating video games. C++ developers are almost always in very high demand.  Java - This is an evolution of the C++ language, and is used to due its ease of portability. Almost any system can run a Java Virtual Machine, allowing it to run Java software. It is widely used in video games and business software, and many people recommend it as an essential language.  C# - C# is a Windows-based language that is part of the .NET framework from Microsoft. It is closely related to Java and C++, and if you learn Java you can quickly transition to C#. This language is especially useful for developers working with Windows or Windows Phone software.  Objective-C - This is another cousin of the C language that is specifically designed...

Just like people, dogs have different stages of sleep: short wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM). REM is considered to be the “sleep of body,” when the body is relaxed but the mind is very active. Dogs dream during REM.  SWS is known as the “sleep of the mind,” when brain activities have decreased, but muscle tone is still present.  It would be somewhat difficult to wake up your dog during the REM sleep stage, but he would probably wake up more easily during SWS. Dogs tend to start dreaming about 20 minutes after they fall asleep. Rapid eye movement is one of the most obvious signs that your dog is dreaming. If you look closely enough, you may be able to see your dog’s eyes moving under his eyelids. This movement is due to your dog actually seeing his dream images as if they were happening in real life. Your dog’s eyes may be fully or partially closed when he is dreaming. Quite naturally, dogs dream about typical dog activities (e.g., running,digging a hole and fighting with an imaginary burglar). His body movements when he is dreaming will likely reflect what is happening in his dream. For example, if he is running and/or chasing after something in his dream, you’ll probably see all of his legs moving in a running motion.  Your dog’s movements will likely be gentle and intermittent when he is dreaming, even if he is ‘running.’ Your dog may also have occasional muscle twitches during his dream. These twitches will look jerky and will not last long. He will quickly fall back into a more relaxed state.  Even though your dog may move occasionally while he is dreaming, his overall body posture will suggest that he is relaxed and at peace. Your dog may begin to make various noises when he is dreaming. For example, he may bark, whine, or cry, depending on what he is dreaming about. Usually, these vocalizations will be brief and infrequent, and will not wake him from his dream.  Your dog may also breathe differently during a dream. For example, he may start to breathe rapidly or have brief periods when he...

Suede tends to get worn down when soap or water are introduced into the material, which means that you'll need a tougher brush to extract grime and dust. Opt for a clean, strong stiff-bristled brush. Hold the brush firmly in your dominant hand and use quick back-and-forth strokes to begin brushing your saddle. Brush each section that you wish to clean 5-10 times before moving to a different part of the saddle. Flick the brush away from you to avoid getting residue in your eyes as you knock it out. You can sit down and brace the saddle in your nondominant hand if you don't have a stable table or saddle stand to brush it on. Hold the cloth in your dominant hand and rub in circular motions across the entirety of your saddle. Check your cloth halfway through the cleaning process to see if it has become discolored at all. If it has, flip your towel over and use the opposite side for the remainder of the cleaning.  Wipe your saddle down again with a different cloth. Continue this process until your cloth is no longer getting dirty when you wipe with it. Avoid conditioning your suede saddle. Suede typically breaks down if you apply a finish. Don't use any oils, conditioners, or lacquers to your suede, as you'll risk permanently damaging your saddle.

TL;DR in English: Use a dry stiff-bristled plastic or brass brush. Flick dirt and dust off of your saddle in quick strokes. Use a dry cloth to wipe your suede down.

You may have a master resume that includes all of your skills, education, and experience. However, the resume you give to each potential employer won't necessarily include everything. Only include skills and experience that are directly related to that job. Try to make your resume match the job listing as closely as possible.  Move sections around if needed so that the most important qualifications listed in the job description are at the top of the page. Rearrange your bullet points as well, putting the most relevant information first. Even if you're proud of a particular accomplishment, take it off your resume if it doesn't relate to the job in any way. Active, punchy text is essential in a resume, since the document will likely only be glanced at for a few seconds. Remove pronouns, articles, adjectives, and adverbs. The final statement should communicate only the action and the result of that action.  For example, suppose you worked as a barista at a café. You might include a bullet point that you maintained high sanitation standards. However, you want to make that as quantifiable as possible. You might say "Implemented new sanitation program; increased café health and sanitation score by 11%." Make your bullet points personal, rather than just rattling off the job description for the position. For example, if you were a retail sales associate, you might say "Exceeded all personal sales goals for 4 months" rather than "Sold clothing and accessories to customers." Don't rely solely on the grammar and spelling checkers built into your word processing app. Read through your resume several times to make sure it's error free. Reading out loud can also help you find errors or awkward wording.  Be careful with apostrophes and contractions. If you have difficulty with contractions and possessives, read what you've written as though you spelled the full words out rather than using an apostrophe and see if it makes sense. For example, you could easily find the error in the sentence "Trained sales staff and reported...

TL;DR in English: Tailor each resume to the specific job you're applying for. Edit your resume to eliminate excess words and create space. Proofread carefully before submitting your resume. Save your resume as a PDF file. Print copies of your resume to take to the interview.

In the United States, you’ll need to apprentice with a licensed falconer, typically for 2 years, in order obtain a falconer’s license. You may also need to pass a written test in order to acquire a license. The application process varies by state, so look online for your specific requirements.  Find the government department with jurisdiction over falconry licensing in your state at https://www.fws.gov/offices/statelinks.html. To find a licensed falconer, search online for your state’s falconry organization. In the U.S., apprentices are usually only allowed to own and train red-tailed hawks or American kestrels. After your 2-year apprenticeship, you’ll be able to obtain a general falconer’s license and keep falcons. To get your hawk or falcon acclimated, or manned, keep it in the house with you for a week or so. Keep it hooded at first to help avoid stressing it. Then gradually expose it to new sights and sounds, such as other members of your household and your hunting dog.  Spend as much time as possible with your bird during the acclimation period so it becomes used to your presence. When exposing it to new stimuli, observe its behavior. If it freezes or appears agitated, place the hood over its head to calm it. When it’s not hooded, look for signs that your falcon is starting to relax, such as pruning or bathing. During the manning process, tether your bird on a short creance, which is like a leash for raptors. Your mentor, or the falconer you’re apprenticing with, can guide you through manning and show you how to handle and hood your bird. After 1 or 2 days, your falcon should start to get used to its new surroundings. At that point, put on your glove and place a 1 inch (2.5 cm) tidbit of raw meat on it. Hold the glove near the falcon’s perch and make a signal noise, like a whistle or click.  Allow your hawk or falcon to step onto you glove and eat. Continue practicing for about 30 minutes so it gets comfortable eating in front of you. As it steps up reliably, try asking it come to your glove from...

TL;DR in English: Acquire all falconry licenses required by your jurisdiction. Get your bird accustomed to its new environment gradually. Put a piece of meat on the glove to train your bird to step up. Begin tossing food to the ground when it jumps on your glove.

A mouthpiece puller is a handy device that is solely intended to pull stuck mouthpieces out of brass instruments. They can be used for small and large instruments, so they are versatile enough to use on trumpets, trombones, tubas and so on. These are available online or in music stores. The most common mouthpiece pullers are:  Bobcat Mouthpiece Puller: This is the least expensive, costing about $40. This one has two screws that need to be tightened simultaneously when using it. Ferree G88 Mouthpiece Puller: This is a more expensive option, costing about $100. It is bulkier, but it only has one T handle that needs to be screwed in when being used. DEG Magnum Mouthpiece Puller: This is usually the most expensive puller, costing about $130. It is very similar to the Ferree. You should have a level working space. Be careful to not put it near the edge where it can fall. Alternately, you can do this on the floor, especially if you have a large instrument. You may want someone to help you by gently holding the instrument still while you operate the mouthpiece puller. One end of the mouthpiece puller will go against the instrument at the point where you insert the mouthpiece. There are usually grooves or other U-shaped areas where your mouthpiece will fit into the puller. Read the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure you are using the mouthpiece puller correctly. Depending on the type of puller you are using, tighten the screws (on the Bobcat mouthpiece puller) or the T handle (on the Ferree G88 mouthpiece puller). Turn the screws evenly, steadily and slowly. The mouthpiece should start to move out of the instrument. Once the mouthpiece puller has loosened the mouthpiece, you should be able to gently twist and pull to get it free. It should come out smoothly. For mouthpieces that are really stuck, use a rubber mallet to tap the puller when it is tightened up. This might enable you to turn the screws a little more to help move the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece end that inserts into your instrument should be round and...

TL;DR in English: Buy or borrow a mouthpiece puller. Place your instrument on a table. Align the mouthpiece puller on the mouthpiece. Tighten the mouthpiece puller. Remove the mouthpiece. Inspect the mouthpiece for damage. Use a mouthpiece trueing tool.

Trampolines are great to practice on, as are gymnastics floors, which have springs built in underneath them. It can be helpful to practice on a tumble track while you're learning, which has more give than a gymnastics floor but isn't quite as bouncy as a regular trampoline. Use these softer surfaces to practice good technique and build more confidence while you perfect your roundoff.  If you’re new to gymnastics or to the roundoff, work with a spotter until you’re comfortable. You can even buy mats to use at home if you want to practice when you’re not at the gym. As you prepare for the roundoff, try visualizing yourself moving through the motions and pick a spot on the floor or trampoline where you’d like to land. This can help you get the right momentum and practice with good form as you begin the roundoff.  A roundoff looks just like a cartwheel but you land on two feet instead of one at a time. You generally need more power for a roundoff than for a cartwheel, and you should push off from the floor with your arms, unlike a cartwheel. If you aren’t sure of what the movement is supposed to look like, watch some videos online or ask for a demonstration from a peer. You need to gather momentum for the movement, so run forward a few steps. Swing your arms up so they’re by your ears and keep them as straight as possible. It can help to lead with your dominant foot and end your run with your dominant foot before you move into the roundoff. Try not to run too far before you start your roundoff, as this can actually make you lose some energy and momentum. This motion is kind of like doing a cartwheel where your body is turned slightly sideways. Move so that you plant your dominant hand on the ground first. Move with forward-motion to place your hands on the ground rather than jumping into the roundoff. Plant your hands firmly on the floor and briefly push up into a handstand while you flip yourself over. Position your body so that your shoulders, arms, and wrists are parallel to the ground.  Keep your legs as...

TL;DR in English: Use a trampoline or springy surface when you’re first learning the roundoff. Stand with your feet together and your arms at your sides. Lunge or run forward and raise your arms above your head. Reach your arms towards the ground as you hurdle forward. Bring your legs up over your body as your hands hit the floor. Land with your knees bent then jump into a straight-standing position. Practice jumping up after you land the roundoff.

When selecting a caulk for your shower, use one labeled "Tub and Tile" or "Kitchen and Bath," as these are chemically formulated to resist mildew and to stick to smooth surfaces like your shower. In particular, there are 2 types of caulk usually used for showers:  Silicone: This is a very flexible, tough, and waterproof caulk. On the downside, it can also be difficult to smooth and may require the use of mineral spirits to clean up. The color range can also be fairly limited. Acrylic latex: This caulk is easier to apply, clean up, and smooth out. It also comes in a wider range of colors. However, it dries harder and shrinks more than silicone caulk does, so acrylic latex caulk will probably have a shorter lifespan. Cheaper guns tend to be less predictable and may lead to sloppier application. A professional-grade gun applies more consistent pressure.  A cradle caulk gun will produce the best, most even pressure and is a better long-term investment than a frame caulk gun. If using the latter, though, get one that is labeled as being "dripless." A professional level caulk gun typically does not cost a lot. Power caulk guns can be very pricey, but all you need is a professional hand-powered caulking gun, which might fit into your budget better. Trim it near the tip, cutting it off at a 45 degree angle. The hole should be smaller than the joints you are sealing. As a general rule, the hole of the tube should actually be 2/3 the size of the joint you are filling. The measurement for most showers should be about 3⁄16 inch (0.48 cm).  Use a utility knife with a fresh blade or a 1-inch (2.5-cm) wide, razor-sharp chisel to cut the tip off the nozzle. Some tubes of caulk will even have a line on the nozzle to indicate the point at which you should cut. Smooth out the edges of the tip after cutting it off, if necessary. If a piece of plastic remains hanging on the nozzle after being cut, pare it down with your utility knife or a piece of sand paper. Otherwise, this little burr can prevent the bead from being smooth....

TL;DR in English: Pick a caulk that is made for use in showers. Pick out a professional-grade caulk gun. Trim the nozzle of the caulk container. Puncture the inner seal in the caulk tube. Load the tube into the caulk gun. Give the handle a little squeeze.

. Make sure your resume also comes with a cover letter briefly introducing yourself and the position you are applying for. A cover letter is a basic professional courtesy, reminds the hiring manager who you are, and can highlight specific strengths in your resume that would be of interest. You don't want a resume to show up unannounced and with no instructions. Otherwise the hiring manager won't know what to do with it, especially if you've never met before. Once your resume goes in the envelope, you'll want it to stay flat for as long as possible. You can purchase cardboard envelopes, which are thicker and don't bend as easily, or you can use a piece of thin cardboard in the envelope. You can also add "Do Not Bend" to your envelope as a reminder to the post office. The US Postal Service requires that those words appear above the addressee's name and below the postage. If you add "Do Not Bend," you must also include a stiffener (like cardboard) in the envelope. If your envelope weighs more than one ounce (and with the cardboard, it probably does), you'll need additional postage. Putting a single stamp, as with a letter, will not do the trick. Your best bet is to go to the post office and pay directly there, as they will be able to weigh your envelope to determine the correct amount.

TL;DR in English: Include a cover letter Keep the envelope flat. Add proper postage.

Many small groups, or "cell groups," hold open meetings available for anyone who wants to join, although regular attendance is encouraged. They discuss spirituality and Biblical passages, but typically pick a different topic each meeting so new members can easily participate. Others are formed from a close-knit group of friends or people from the same church congregation. These may only accept new members at specific times, develop intimate bonds with each other, and hold discussions that last for several meetings. Most small groups have between three and nine members, including the leader. Invite friends, fellow churchgoers, and other interested people to come to your meetings, if you do not already have an existing small group. Invite someone to help your run the group, to encourage the group to shift the focus away from a single leader, and instead work together to focus on God and Christianity. If your small group expands to more than nine or so people, having two co-leaders also makes it easy to split apart into separate groups. A snack at the beginning of the meeting can be a great way to encourage people to relax and talk to each other. The focus of the meeting shouldn't be the food, but if someone in the group enjoys contributing by bringing food, don't discourage him. During your first meeting, or whenever someone new is present, ask for introductions. Even if you all know each other, ask a question or prompt to get people to know each other better. This can be religious, such as "tell us about a time you felt connected to Jesus," or just something interesting to talk about, such as "where in the world would you most like to travel?" If new people are present who may not be comfortable or secure in their religion, use more generic questions. The point of the introductions is to make everyone more relaxed and start them bonding with each other, not necessarily to dive into Bible study right away. Select a Biblical passage in advance of the meeting each week. Come up with open-ended questions that...

TL;DR in English: Decide on the purpose of your group. Gather people together. Ask someone to be your co-leader. Offer food and drink. Start with introductions. Start a Bible study discussion. Facilitate the discussion. Don't act like an expert. Talk about prayer and the members' lives. Encourage people to take on roles.

The first step in attaching your Holter monitor is to clean your skin very well with soap and alcohol where the adhesive pads will attach to your body. Note that some of them have a gel to affix, and some of them have self-stick pads. If your monitor comes with cleansing wipes, use those to clean the area every time you put new sticky pads on. Put the adhesive pads on your body as directed — this usually means three pads on your chest and one near the bottom of your rib cage on the lower, left-hand side. Secure the electrical leads to the pads according to the instructions. Typically, the leads will snap into place on the adhesive pads, but you may have to use a sticky surgical tape instead. There are various types and brands of Holter monitors, so instructions for activating the device may vary; however, for most Holter monitors, you won’t need to do anything except make sure the battery is charged to maintain functionality.  If the battery is charged, the machine automatically turns on. Make sure you see the activity lights flashing on the monitor itself so you know that it is working properly. It is important to live your life normally while wearing the monitor so that your cardiologist can get a genuine representation of your heart activity in your normal life; however, you will not be permitted to get the monitor wet, which means you will have to remove it when you shower. Be sure to reattach the monitor as soon as you are done showering and have dried your body off. It is important to avoid all activities that would get the monitor wet while you’re wearing it. Don’t shower with the monitor, avoid sweaty exercises, don’t go swimming, etc. You will need to make sure the battery for the monitor remains charged. Your cardiologist will probably give you an extra battery so that you can always have a fully charged one that you swap out as needed. This way, you can always have one battery charging while the other is being used.  Typically, you will be given a battery charging port that the battery simply slips...

You can search "grow zone" or “USDA hardiness zone” on Google and choose a website. Type in your zip code, and the grow zone calculator will give you a number and/or a letter, like "6b." Most cherries grow in climate zones 4-8. Research sweet cherries if you are interested in growing them. Sweet cherries are harder to grow because they require a dry climate that isn't too hot and particularly well-drained soil.  In the United States, cherries grow well west of the Rocky Mountains in low-humidity zones. Sweet cherries vary in type, including Bing, Black Tartarian, Emperor Francis, Kristin, and Stella. Tart cherries also prefer well-drained soil, though they can withstand climates with more rain and greater humidity. Tart cherries tend to produce smaller trees than sweet cherries, which makes them easier to maintain. Research tart cherries to see if they are a better option for your environment.  Tart cherries are great to cook with, and their tartness can be rather mild. Tart cherries come in Meteor, Montmorency, and North Star varieties. Standard-sized trees tend to be more resilient and yield more cherries. They are larger in size and have a longer lifespan than dwarf trees. Dwarf trees are smaller and take up less space. They also yield fruit at a younger age, about 2 - 3 years old.  Both sizes are popular for growing cherries, and you should select the best size to suit your climate zone and growing preferences. Dwarf trees are more sensitive because they have a less vigorous root system. For sweet cherries, standard sized trees grow to about 20–40 feet (6.1–12.2 m) tall, and dwarf trees grow to 8–15 feet (2.4–4.6 m). For tart cherries, standard adult trees grow about 20 feet (6.1 m) tall, and dwarf trees reach around 8–12 feet (2.4–3.7 m)

TL;DR in English: Look up your grow zone to find out if cherries will grow where you live. Grow sweet cherries if you are up for a challenge. Grow tart cherries for an easier option. Decide between standard or dwarf-sized trees.

Lay down a towel or a mesh screen and position the fur on top of it. Try to spread the fur out as much as possible without breaking it up into small pieces. If there’s wind, place a mesh screen or towel on top of the fur to hold it in place. If it’s cloudy or rainy outside, leave the fur inside to dry in a well-ventilated area. It may take up to 4 hours for the fur to dry inside.

TL;DR in English: Spread the fur out in the sun to dry for 1-2 hours.

Getting plenty of oxygen contributes to physical energy and mental alertness. This can give you an overall boost of positivity. Try one of these breathing exercises periodically:  Sit up straight. Put one hand on your belly and the other on your chest. Inhale deeply through your nose. You should feel the hand on your belly raise, but the hand on your chest should not move. Breathe out slowly, with your mouth barely open. Use your hand on your belly to push air out, if you want. Repeat this exercise ten times. Quickly inhale and exhale through your nose (about three breaths a second), keeping your mouth closed. Then breathe normally. Repeat this process for fifteen seconds or more. Mindfulness is a practice that helps people become more aware of their thoughts and feelings, and of how they relate to the world around them in the present moment. It is like a particular type of meditation that will leave you feeling more self-aware and positive. Since living in the present is key to being a free spirit, this technique can be very helpful.  Sit in a comfortable position, whether in a chair, cross-legged, or kneeling. Begin to pay attention to your breathing. Your mind will eventually wander. When you catch your mind wandering, bring your attention back to your own breathing. Don’t stop to dwell on or judge your thoughts. Continue this process for a short time, such as five minutes if you are trying it for the first time. Repeat this practice frequently, at least once a day. As you begin to practice mindfulness mediation regularly, you can gradually increase the length of the sessions, if you desire. Many people engage in mindfulness through prayer or meditation as part of a spiritual practice. A free spirit can absolutely willfully participate in these practices. Often characterized as mainly a physical exercise, yoga is very much part of a spiritual practice that can boost your mind as well. Practicing yoga regularly can contribute to a positive outlook. You can begin learning yoga with just some simple...

TL;DR in English: Try some breathing exercises. Practice mindfulness. Try yoga. Let go of mental hang-ups.

Discuss possible topics and plans with your teacher. Note any guidelines they give for the assignment, and keep these requirements in mind while designing your project. If your teacher hands out any worksheets regarding the science fair, keep them together in a folder. Sometimes people limit themselves to strictly scientific pursuits that might not interest you. When you think about it, everything is in the science field. For example, if you love art, you could research how the chemicals in paint react or how artificial colors are made. After researching, pick the topic that interests you most.  Do some brainstorming. Write down any ideas you have or problems that you’d like to solve.  Pick a topic that is appropriate for your age level. It’s okay to be ambitious, but make sure you have enough time to finish everything by the deadline. Keep track of all of your sources so you can cite them in your final report. A crucial part of planning your science fair project is knowing how much time you have to complete it and how much time it will take to research, execute, and write a report about your project. Some experiments may go quickly, but others may take multiple weeks. If you need to talk to an expert, make sure you contact them as soon as possible so you can get on their schedule in time.  Spend at least 1 week researching your topic and gathering information. Spend another week analyzing data, writing the report, and designing the board. Choose an experiment that fits within your time constraints. Some experiments can take at least 1 week, including gathering materials. Use your background to generate questions you can answer with a properly designed experiment. The background is essential to properly designing your experiment and understanding how and why the experiment can answer the question you are asking.  If you will need to use any mathematical formulas or equations to answer your question, research these as well so that you understand them before you begin. Research experiments that may have already...

Use it when you feed, pet, cuddle, and praise your cat. Help it learn its name by using it more than feels natural. Cats are very reward-motivated, so say its name while you give it treats.  Cats are often very independent, so don’t feel discouraged if it doesn't always come when you call. It may just be playing hard-to-get. Try to make sure that your cat has only positive associations with its name. Don’t yell its name when it's done something wrong, but sweetly say its name when it's done something right. If you have decided that its full name must be Sir William Fluffy-Butt but you know that you will often call it Willy, get it used to hearing Willy. If you alternate names every time you call it, it’ll likely be confused. If it's confused, it will probably start ignoring you all together. It’s not at all uncommon for a cat to give its human caretakers the cold shoulder, so help your odds by making sure it knows its name. This is the final, and most official, step in the naming process. It can wear its new jewelry with pride, and it is your cats official introduction to the world. Even better, this new identification can be used if your sweet feline family member gets lost. Its collar can help to bring it safely back home.

You may want to buy a used Apple computer in decent physical condition that is not currently in disrepair, and that does not contain excessive signs of wear. If you are buying a laptop, examine the keys and trackpad for signs of fading or rubbed away letters, numbers, and symbols, which can indicate excessive use. You may not want to purchase a used Apple computer running on an outdated operating system, unless it has enough memory to support an upgraded operating system. If upgrading the operating system is required, verify that the computer's hardware can handle the upgrade in terms of memory and processing speed. For example, if at least 2 additional gigabytes (GB) of memory are required to run a newer operating system, verify that you can install at least 2 GB of memory on the machine. The installation disc is necessary if for some reason you need to reinstall the Apple's operating system and software. Although refurbished computers may have been returned to the manufacturer at one point, Apple technicians have either repaired the computers, replaced non-working parts, or upgraded the computer to return it to a fully operational state. You may want to buy a used computer that has only had 1 previous owner, or that has not been moved frequently between locations. There may be no issues with the computer if the owner is upgrading to a newer model; however, if they are selling the computer because it frequently experienced issues, you may not want to buy that particular computer.

TL;DR in English: Examine the physical state of the computer's hardware. Determine the version of the operating system currently installed on the computer. Verify that an installation disc is provided with the used Apple computer. Look specifically for a refurbished Apple computer. Determine the history of the used computer. Ask the current owner why they are selling the computer.

If you're having a hard time seeing your way out of a situation, try modeling your behavior after someone else who's faced adversity. Not only can this give you a good dose of perspective ("Wow, at least my problem isn't as bad as that"), it might inspire you to be more courageous.  Look for a role model among people you already know. If you feel comfortable enough, consider asking them how they dealt with situations that required bravery. Read about brave historical figures. Look up the life stories of people who are renowned for facing adversity with bravery, such as Theodore Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman or Joan of Arc, freedom fighters, rebels, etc. Bravery requires you to be “tough” when you encounter scary or difficult situations. Mental resilience is more than just a tough front, though. To be truly resilient, you need to practice the following:  Flexibility. Cognitive flexibility is the ability to adapt to changing situations. It's the ability to stay away from defensiveness if something goes wrong. It's the ability to look for new ways to approach a problem or situation. You can develop flexibility by recognizing the potential for learning in all situations, and by developing a mindset of curiosity rather than worry.  Engagement. In order to be brave about a situation, you have to face it head-on. Truly brave people examine the situation and identify how to approach it, rather than trying to run away or ignore the problem. Breaking down a situation into smaller elements can help you face troubling situations. You can also try to imagine the best possible scenario, rather than the worst possible one.  Persistence. Things may not always go smoothly. Brave people understand this and get back up when they fall down. You can help yourself become persistent by defining what actions you need to take every step of the way. It's much easier to face a setback if you know that the next step you need to take is achievable, rather than a monumental task. We all get stuck in unhelpful ways of thinking, or “cognitive...

Sleep helps your body recover and fight inflammation, so it’s important to get a full night’s sleep, which for most people is between 7 and 8 hours. If you’re having trouble getting that much sleep, reorganize your schedule so that you’re devoting enough time to preparing for sleep and sleeping every day.  If you have trouble falling asleep, try relaxing before bedtime and avoiding looking at electronic screens once in bed. These practices can help people fall asleep faster. If you have chronic trouble with insomnia, speak with your doctor about potential medical solutions, like cognitive behavior therapy. One of the many health benefits of exercise is that it can reduce inflammation. Your 2.5 hours of exercise a week only needs to be moderate in intensity, meaning it raises your heartbeat but does not necessarily strain your muscles, like taking a walk. Spread your 2.5 hours of exercise throughout the week. If you’re worried about aggravating an injury, speak to your doctor or physical therapist about how to develop an exercise plan that works for you. Use a Fitbit or other personal fitness tracker to help you meet your exercise goals during the week. High levels of stress can increase inflammation in the body. They can also make it more difficult to sleep, which helps the body fight inflammation. Take small breaks when working during the day, perhaps just to get some fresh air or stretch for a couple minutes.

Self educating yourself in religion is an important way to understanding the deepest beliefs and feelings of humanity. Aim to learn all that you can about every religion and show all faiths respect. Research unearths many answers but many people do not have the patience or tenacity to be good researchers. This skill is a great one to develop, as it will empower you to find out many things, from the simplest (such as what time the library stays open until on the weekends) to the most complex (why do stars die?). But all the in between stuff matters too, the things that make the wheels of everyday life turn, such as resolving neighbor disputes over property lines, knowing how to get the local government to fix broken playground equipment and learning how to get an audience with your government representative. Knowing how to research the answers will give you a lot of handy answers to those questions that the curiosity you've been asked to cultivate with bring forth. When researching or finding out something new, if you ever have the question 'why' or something related to that to a particular subject, then search up on it.
