Easier said than done! You may be able to determine the age based on clues in the design. Look for historical events or figures, or try to pick out words on the stamp. Exact years are not typically printed on stamps, so it can be quite difficult figure out exactly how old your stamp is.  Head to an expert stamp dealer if you need extra help. The older the stamp is, the more valuable it will be--so it’s worth the extra effort! Stamps printed within the last 70 years, even those in mint condition, probably won’t be valued any higher than they were originally. As with the stamp’s age, look for historical figures or events on the stamp, or words--knowing the language can help you narrow down the country. A picture of Queen Victoria, for example, is probably from 19th-early 20th century Great Britain, while a picture of the Hoover Dam may be mid-century American. Depending on your stamp, it might be easier to identify it before you try to determine the age and country of origin. After you’ve looked over the stamp’s physical condition, you’ll know enough about it to be able to find it in a reference book.  American stamp collectors often use the Scott Specialized Catalogue (now available in an e-book format as well), while British philatelists tend to use the Stanley Gibbons catalogue. Check out your local library to see what options you have. You can try looking at online resources and catalogues as well, but do so with a grain of salt. They may not be as accredited or accurate as reference books. The stamp’s rarity will depend on its age and quantity in its initial print run. The rarer the stamp, the higher the value; some stamp collectors even say that rarity is the single most important factor in determining stamp value, more than condition or age. Check in reference books or with a professional dealer to figure out the initial print run of your stamp. An old stamp won’t necessarily be rare and valuable. The 1861 1-cent Benjamin Franklin stamps, for example, aren’t very valuable because about 150 million of...

TL;DR in English: Figure out the age of the stamp. Determine the stamp’s country of origin. Identify the stamp with a reference book. Determine the rarity of the stamp. Keep an eye out for error stamps.

Enter each of your monthly expenses into an Excel spreadsheet. Make sure to include the exact amounts of each bill as well as the due dates. Then, write down the deposits that you'll receive as well. Whenever you consider making a purchase, remember your existing account balance. You can also use a phone app or computer program to track your spending and create a budget. For peace of mind, it is a good idea to have six months of basic expenses saved up. Come up with this amount, write it down on a piece of paper, and post it somewhere visible in your home, such as on the refrigerator. Before you go out shopping, look at this number and recall your overall goal. If you already have an emergency fund saved up, then you can find another goal, such as saving for a major vacation or buying a home. Understanding what triggers your shopping splurges will help you to regulate them in the future. Write down a quick note whenever you feel the desire to spend extra money. Note your feelings at the time. Do you feel bored, depressed, angry? If so, these may be your emotional shopping triggers. In the future, when a particular emotion hits you, be prepared for a shopping urge to follow and you will be less likely to give into it.

TL;DR in English: Create a spreadsheet showing your expenses. Set an emergency fund goal. Keep a journal documenting your shopping urges.

You'll need the title of the article or page you are on as part of your citation. Even if it's a blog post, you'll still need the title. Besides the title of the article, you'll need the name of the website. For example, this article's title is "How to Find the Author of a Website" and the website name is "wikiHow." This is the company, organization, or person that produces or sponsors the website. This may not be different than the website title, but be sure to check. For example, a health organization may run a separate website devoted to heart health. This isn't always possible, but you should always try to find the publication date if you can. If the article or publication has a volume or version number, make sure to note this for MLA citations. Depending on which method of citation you're using, and your instructor's guidelines, you may need the URL of the page or article. MLA7 no longer requires including the URL for websites. The page title and site title are sufficient. Check with your instructor if you use MLA for your citation format. If you are citing an online scholarly journal, include the DOI instead of the URL. This ensures that the reader will be able to find the article even if the URL changes:  For most publications, you can find the DOI at the top of the article. You may need to click an "Article" button or a button with the publisher's name. This will open the full article with the DOI at the top. You can look up a DOI by using the CrossRef search (crossref.org). Enter in the article title or the author to find the DOI. Now that you've gathered everything you can, even if you don't have an author, you're ready to create your citation.

It’s going to be difficult to fake swelling or spots in your throat, so stick to having symptoms that you can control like pain, fatigue, and fever. It’s a good idea to not take anything that claims to give you the actual physical symptoms of strep throat. These could make you very sick. Someone with strep throat is usually in too much pain to talk a lot. If you reply to questions with head or hand gestures or even by writing notes, this helps convince people that your throat is too sore to talk. It’s also advisable that when you do say something, not to say it too loudly or yell. Remember, you’re in too much pain to really even be talking. This can also be particularly effective if you’re looking to get out of a commitment on the same day. This is a dead giveaway that you’re probably not sick and trying to get out of something. This demonstrates that not only is your throat hurting so much it hurts to swallow, but also that you’re being careful to not further irritate it. Closing your eyes and lightly wincing when you do slowly swallow reinforces just how much your strep throat hurts. This is one way to soothe an actual sore throat and will show that you’re trying to take care of yourself. If you don’t show any energy or motivation to do things you normally like, this will show that you’re not feeling like your usual self.  Don’t be too sluggish. Showing general fatigue, such as not moving around much or not wanting to get out of bed other than to use the bathroom is plenty. It’s not a good idea to collapse or fall out of bed as it might end with an unwanted doctor’s visit. If someone mentions that you’re missing a commitment, say something along the lines of “I’m sorry to miss school/ work today because we had a group lunch planned.” Don’t smile too much or appear happy. Again, you’re feeling sick and want to convince others of this as well. Looking happy will make them question whether or not you’re really ill. It’s not easy to tell if someone has a fever unless it’s fairly high. Faking a fever will make...

TL;DR in English: Have controllable symptoms. Avoid talking to show how much your throat hurts. Avoid talking about whatever commitment you don’t want to attend. Swallow slowly and show your pain. Gargle with salt water. Be tired, sluggish, and sad. Have a fever. Don’t eat a lot, especially heavy foods. Don’t overdo it with symptoms.

These thinners can be found at most art stores and office supply centers. Most manufacturers of correction fluid sell matching thinners that you can use to thin out thick paint or even completely restore dry paint. Make sure you buy your fluid's matching thinner as each brand has its own formulation.  Correction fluid is made with chemical solvents because these solvents evaporate into the air more quickly than water. This means that you don't have to wait very long for correction fluid to dry. If you can't find the right thinner for your correction fluid, buy a generic brand instead. It won't work as well as the correct fluid might but it will be much better than nothing. Lay out newspaper or use paper plates to protect the surface you're working on. Work in a well ventilated space so that you don't inhale harmful fumes. Have a sheet of scrap paper ready so that you can test the thickness of the correction fluid. If you have sensitive skin, consider wearing gloves while you work.  Avoid inhaling the solvent fumes. Solvent fumes are hazardous to your health and can cause damage to your nervous system, liver and many other organs.  If possible, work outside. This provides the maximum amount of ventilation of hazardous fumes. Most commercial thinners come with a dropper attached to the lid. This allows you to add tiny drops of solvent to the correction fluid at a time. First, add three or four drops to the correction fluid. Close the lid tightly and shake the bottle for one minute. Next, unscrew the cap and paint a line of correction fluid onto the scrap paper. If it's thin enough, you can use it immediately. If not,  add a few more drops of thinner and repeat the process. Don't stir the correction fluid to mix in the thinner. This will cause the solvent to evaporate more quickly and expose you to more hazardous fumes. If you don't have time to find the proper correction fluid thinner for your product, you can use water as a thinner. However, the correction fluid won't dry as quickly and it may develop other...

The market is full of topical creams containing estrogen and collagens, and purporting to both increase the size and tone the shape of breasts. The creams are said to pump up the cells in your breasts and make them appear to be bigger, and some run several hundred dollars a bottle. No enhancement cream has been proven to actually enlarge breasts, and some sources say the creams may actually be unsafe to use. If you want to give this option a try, look for a cream with only natural ingredients like shea butter and aloe. Worst case, your breasts will be soft and moisturized. This is a breast-enhancement vacuum device that will run you at least $900, but there is research to show that it causes the breast cells to enlarge and replicate, leading to an increase of one or more cup sizes. The device is fitted over your breasts like a bra, then vacuums inside the cups work on your tissue and increase your size over time. It takes at least 10 weeks to see a difference. Fillers are injections of hyaluronic acid into the breast. They increase breasts by a cup size or two over a serious of multiple injections. Each injection takes about 30 to 90 minutes, and the procedure totals a few thousand dollars.  Fillers may have extremely dangerous side effects, so do careful research before deciding to use one.  In some cases you may need a "tune-up" to keep the fillers looking natural. In this procedure, fat is taken from the abdomen or buttocks and injected into the breasts to make them fuller. Since some of the fat is absorbed into the body each time, multiple injections are required before results are seen. Pursue this method with extreme caution, since there's a chance the fat will calcify and lead to major health complications. In this procedure, needles are inserted into the breasts, transferring an electrical current that plumps up the cells. It's a popular treatment among celebrities. In some cases it doesn't last forever, so you may need more than one treatment. There isn't much scientific information on long-term...

TL;DR in English: Look into using a breast enhancement cream. Consider the Brava. Research breast fillers. Consider fat injections. Look into electric acupuncture.

Fill a plastic flower pot with a mixture made of 3 parts agricultural sand and 1 part topsoil. Mix the soil components well so that they are evenly dispersed throughout the container. Cuttings get most of the moisture they need to grow from humidity since they do not have roots at this point. As such, you do not want to use a soil that will retain a lot of moisture. Choose a mature, healthy passion fruit plant to take a cutting from. Snip off a portion of the vine that contains at least 3 buds or at least 6 inches (15 cm) long, if not more, and cut directly below the lowest bud.  Newer growth is more active, so it is recommended that you choose a newer portion of vine rather than an older portion. Immediately plant this cutting into your sand bed. Remove the bottom-most leaves to help your cutting preserve water. The best place for a vine cutting is a greenhouse. If you do not have access to one, though, you can build a humidity chamber by stretching clear plastic sheeting across a box frame made of bamboo.  Make sure that any humidity chamber you use stays moist. Keep it in full sun, and place it where the air is moist. If you need to generate additional humidity, you can do so by running a humidifier or by placing dishes of water-covered gravel around the base of the cutting. Your cuttings should form new roots within several weeks if they’re kept in the right condition. They are ready to be treated as established seedlings at this point and may be transplanted into a permanent garden space.

TL;DR in English: Prepare a sand bed. Take a cutting. Keep the cutting in humid conditions. Transplant your seedling once roots form.

In order to reduce hoarding behaviors, you first need to help your loved one develop skills and a plan for organizing items. Discuss the specifics of this plan with your loved one, and offer suggestions if she is open to them.  Identify specific criteria for keeping and discarding items. Ask the person who hoards what criteria she would like to create for getting rid of items versus keeping them. You could say something like, "Let's see if we can make a plan that will help us organize our time. Would you be open to making a list of reasons to keep items? What are the types of items that you absolutely need to keep? What are the types of items that you can let go?" Make sure your loved one is still open to receiving help, and if she is receptive to this idea you can move forward with your plan together. Make a list of the criteria to keep or discard items. This might look like - Keep if the item is needed for survival or daily life, or if it is a family heirloom. Toss/sell/donate if item is not currently being used or has not been used in the last 6 months. Categorize and organize wanted items, as well as unwanted ones. Talk about storage locations and systems of discarding items. Select interim locations during sorting. Sort items into categories such as: trash, recycle, donate, or sell. There are particular skills that are indicated in assisting the recovery of hoarding behaviors such as organization and decision making techniques. Help the individual who hoards decide on rules for acquiring, keeping and discarding items. Do not simply choose which items to trash, have the person with the hoarding problem make her own decisions based on the criteria you developed together. If she is unsure, help her refer back to the list of reasons to keep or discard an item. You can ask questions like, "Is this item necessary to daily life, has it been used in the last 6 months, or is it a family heirloom?" Focus on one step at a time. Instead of trying to clean out the whole house in one day, try starting with a room that...

TL;DR in English: Develop an action plan. Encourage problem-solving skills. Practice getting rid of items. Ask or hire someone to help. Assist in avoiding acquiring new items. Help the person who hoards take small steps toward recovery. Expect setbacks.

Belts make a good base for a guitar strap. Find an old belt that you don’t use anymore. You will be removing the buckle that makes the belt useful for clothing. You are basically going to strip the belt of any extra parts and leave the belt in its raw state.  Use scissors or a sharp blade to remove the buckle from the belt. Place the belt around your shoulder as you might hold a guitar. Most belts will need to be cut to better fit a guitar. You can also make adjustments so that the strap can be adjusted. Use a strong string material like paracord for the guitar strap. Don’t use anything too slim or else it may break. If you have extra rope, you can arrange multiple lines for the strap by twisting or gluing them together. Measure the string by draping it over your shoulder and hold your guitar.  A good length is one that will allow you to make adjustments. You might need a friend to help you measure the strap. Instead of a belt or string you could also use fabric as the base of your guitar strap. It will be important to layer the fabrics on top of each other to create a durable base. Arrange about three or four layers of fabric on top of each other and then cut out an outline for the strap. Measure out the width of the shoulder the strap will rest on.  A durable fabric like denim may work best. Trace the dimension onto the layered fabrics before cutting. Attempt to make a clean cut. Attach the fabrics together by sewing them or by using glue. Many synthetic fibers like acrylic tend be more durable than natural fibers.

If there is any element of your wish that can be acted upon before the next day, do it. For example, if you wish is that you do well on a big test, study the night before and review your notes! If your wish revolves around falling in love, call up the boy or girl that you have a crush on and ask them out on a date! You can’t sit back and hope that all of your wildest dreams come true without working towards achieving them. If your wish can be achieved with the help of others, see if your close friends or family members would be willing to help. Tell them what your wish is and explain what you want to achieve over the course of a night. Even if they don’t offer to help you directly, they may have a piece of advice that will help you get closer to your goal. Say, “I am hoping to make something come true tonight, do you have a minute to talk about it?” to determine what you need to do to make your wish come true. Before you go to sleep, sit down with a blank piece of paper and a pen or pencil. Write down every actionable step that you can take in the next couple of days to make your wish come true. Keep the to-do list in a visible place in your room, and work from top to bottom. Cross off each item as you complete it.  For example, if your wish is to graduate from a good college, include items like, “Identify good schools that I can afford,” “Figure out the application process,” and, “Visit potential schools over the summer.” Put the easiest items at the top of your list to give you a couple of easy wins. This will make it easier to get the ball rolling and gain momentum. Take the original piece of paper that you wrote your wish on and fold it under your pillow. Go to sleep that night thinking about your wish coming true. You will sleep better that night knowing that you wish is secure under your pillow, and keeping it close to your head will help focus your mind as you sleep!

Each state’s I.D.s are somewhat different. Accordingly, you should learn the security features used on cards in your state and in surrounding states. Fortunately, there is plenty of information available:  Purchase the I.D. Checking Guide from the Driver’s License Guide Company. It contains updated information on licenses in the U.S. and Canada. You can order by calling 800-227-8827. Pick up any state-published reference. Your state might have published a booklet or handout on authenticating their state I.D.s. Check with your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles. For instance, in some states, an I.D. for a person under 21 will be vertical, while one for a person over 21 will be horizontal. If you don’t have an I.D. checking guide, you can compare the I.D. to one you know is valid—maybe even your own. Check how similar they are. In particular, compare whether the thickness, size, coloring, lettering, and corners are the same. A fake I.D. may be thinner than a legitimate one. In particular, counterfeiters use different paper or laminate than legitimate I.D.s. Almost all states use microprint as a security feature. It looks like a straight line, but when magnified 10 times you can see the words clearly. Use a 10X magnifying glass to check whether the I.D. has microprint. The microprint will be located on different positions, depending on which state’s I.D. you are looking at. Depending on your state, certain security features will show up under ultraviolet light. For example, in California, you can see a second, lighter image of the cardholder only under UV light. Your sense of touch can pick up on many signs of fraud. Some legitimate I.D.s may be tampered with, and you may be able to identify this through touch. For example, feel the edges of the I.D., which should be smooth and not peeling.Also, the card shouldn’t be flimsy and bend easily.  Run a thumb over the picture and check its thickness. On some fake I.D.s, a picture is pasted over the original one, so the I.D. is especially thick there. Some...

TL;DR in English: Know what to look for. Compare the identification to one you know is valid. Examine the microprint with a magnifying glass. Hold the card under ultraviolet light. Feel the card. Scan the barcode. Tilt the card in the light. Search for misspellings on the identification card.

Know that the risk factors that caused someone to abuse cocaine initially may still be present once they have stopped using. Addictive disease is generally thought to be the combination of genetics and environmental risk factors.  Caucasian males are most likely to use cocaine, and low socioeconomic status, as well as lower levels of education, peer pressure, and living in areas that have high levels of crime and drug use may also increase a person's chances of using.

See if she wants to keep your attention or if her eyes move away from yours. If she is consistently making eye contact and sometimes blushing while doing it, chances are she’s interested in you. She may also try stealing quick glances at you when she thinks you're not looking.  Of course, you don't want to just stare at her because that will come off as creepy. Just glance in her direction, or try to hold her eyes for a couple of seconds. However, some girls are just shy, and they may not want to make eye contact with you. Try encouraging her with other steps. Smiling shows your interest, and makes it easy for her to smile back at you. Sometimes, it might take a while for both of you to just make eye contact and smile before you’re ready to actually talk to each other. Even if you’re nervous, smiling is a good way to make contact because a smile actually acts as a reward to other people. In other words, when you smile at her, her brain perceives it as a reward, making her happier to be around you. Don’t just hang around with the same group of friends. It’s much easier to approach someone who is alone rather than someone who's with a large group, so if you make sure you're alone sometime when she's around, she might come over and talk to you.

Silicone gel or sheeting is one of the most effective home treatments for scars. While silicone works best on fresh scars, it can also soften and reduce the appearance of older scars. For the best results, cover your scar with silicone gel or a silicone sheet for 8-24 hours a day over the course of several months. You can buy silicone gel or silicone scar sheets at most pharmacies. You can also order these treatments online. A variety of over-the-counter creams and ointments are available on the market that may be able to help reduce the appearance of scars. Follow the ingredients on the packaging carefully and talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns. Look for ointments that include ingredients such as:  Retinol creams. These are particularly effective for treating acne scars.  Glycolic acid. This ingredient has also been shown to be effective for reducing acne scars, especially when combined with retinoic acid.  Protective or moisturizing ingredients, such as oxybenzone (a sunblock), petroleum jelly, or paraffin. Chemical peels can be helpful for scars that are not too thick or deep, such as acne scars or chicken pox scars. Ask your doctor or dermatologist about getting a medical peel done in their office. You can also buy over-the-counter peels that you can use at home.  Over-the-counter peels are not usually as effective as peels done by a medical professional, but they may help reduce the appearance of light scaring. Peels containing glycolic acid or salicylic-mandelic acid may be particularly effective. If you have a deep or indented scar, a soft-tissue filler may help reduce its appearance. For this treatment, your doctor or dermatologist will inject a soft substance, such as fat or hyaluronic acid, into the tissue under the scar to fill it in. Talk to your doctor about whether this treatment might be right for you. Fillers are a temporary solution since the injected substance breaks down after a while. You may need to repeat this treatment once every 6 months. Much like...

TL;DR in English: Try an over-the-counter silicone gel on fresh or older scars. Use a scar-reducing cream for small or light scars. Look into in-office or at-home chemical peels for light scarring. Ask your doctor about fillers for deep scars. Check into dermabrasion for acne scars or pox marks. Look into laser treatments for severe scars. Talk to your doctor about surgical scar revision. Ask your doctor about punch grafts for very deep scars. Check into cryosurgery for thick or raised scars. Get cortisone injections to soften hard scars.

After the quick 2-second blanching, use tongs to pull out the leaves as quickly as you can. Transfer them straight to the ice bath.  Blanching helps “lock in” the vibrant color of the basil leaves, while the ice bath stops the cooking process before it wilts the leaves. If you wish, you can skip both blanching the leaves and using an ice bath, but the basil won’t keep as well in the freezer. In this case, go straight from rinsing the fresh leaves to drying them with paper towels. After about 1-2 minutes in the ice bath, use your fingers to transfer the leaves to a strip of paper towels. Lay out the leaves in a single layer and softly blot away all surface moisture with more paper towels. Or, invest in a salad spinner that you can use to dry basil leaves—among many other things! Carefully work the stack of wax paper and basil leaves into the zip-close bag, then gently press out most of the air. Zip the bag fully closed and write “basil” and today’s date on the bag with a permanent marker. Lay the bag flat in the freezer in a spot where it won’t get crushed.  When you’re ready to use the basil, simply open the bag, pull out the number of leaves you need, squeeze out the air, and close the bag again. Especially if blanched, frozen basil leaves should be vibrant and flavorful enough to use in cooked recipes or even fresh pesto. The thawed leaves will likely be too wilted to use as a fresh ingredient or garnish, however. After about 3-6 months, the leaves will start to develop brown or black spots. Once there are as many dark spots as green areas, discard the leaves.

TL;DR in English: Move the blanched leaves immediately to an ice bath. Move the cooled leaves from the ice bath to paper towels for drying. Slide the layered leaves into a freezer bag to store for up to 6 months.

Matte fabrics will usually work better than shiny fabrics. If you have shorter legs, match the color of the leggings to the booties (such as black leggings and black booties). This will make your legs appear longer. Pair leggings with a loose-fitting blouse or tunic. If you'd something more streamlined, wear a wide belt around your waist. This will cinch the tunic/blouse in. This is great for those warm, summer days when you decide to pair booties with shorts. Wearing socks is a must; they will help soak up sweat and prevent foot odor. Put on a pair of long, bulky socks, then bunch them down. If you are wearing skinny jeans, make sure that the socks are over the jeans, not under. Try a pair of solid-colored socks with an interesting texture. Let the sock extend 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) above the cuff of the bootie. If you are wearing skinny jeans, consider tucking them into the socks. This can also be paired with ankle and boyfriend jeans. The sock will cover that gap of skin between the boot and pant cuff for an interesting pop o color and texture. Try to choose a pair of tights with an interesting texture to them. Also, if your legs are shorter, try to match the tights to your booties (such as black tights and black booties). This will make your legs look longer. You can also wear socks over the tights as well, but try to keep the colors similar. For example, pair black tights, with light brown textured socks, and brown booties.

TL;DR in English: Wear leggings tucked into booties. Wear booties with below-the-ankle socks if you don't want any sock showing. Try the bunched look with longer socks. Try a pair of above-the-ankle socks if you'd like a hint of color and texture. Wear tights underneath shorts, skirts, and shorter dresses if the weather is cooler.

The size does not matter, but it needs to be rectangular. An 18 by 24 in (46 by 61 cm) sheet would work great, though. The color is also up to you. If you want to make a traditional Chinese lantern, red would work the best. You can also use a different color for a specific holiday. For example:  Halloween: Orange or black Valentine's Day: Red or pink St. Patrick's Day: Green Use a pencil and a ruler to draw a cutting line 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from 1 of the narrow edges. Cut along this line, then set the 1 in (2.5 cm) wide strip aside for later. This strip will eventually make the handle. Bring the long edges together, then flatten the paper. Run your fingernail back and forth across the crease to make it nice and sharp. Fold the paper evenly. Make sure that the edges and corners match up. Turn your paper so that the folded edge is facing you. Draw a horizontal line across the top of the paper, 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the top edge. Cut slits into the folded edge until they meet the line you drew. Do not cut past the line, however.  Draw the line with a pencil. This way, you can erase it! Make the slits all the same distance apart--about 1 inch (2.5 cm). The first and last slit should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the sides of the paper. Unfold the paper first. Roll the paper into a tube, so that the fold is on the outside. Overlap the narrow ends by 1 inch (2.5 cm), then staple them along the top and the bottom.  The folded should be sticking out, not in. If you squash the tube, the fringe should flare out like a flower. You can glue the tube together instead, but you will have to hold it with paper clips or clothespins until it dries. Take your 1 in (2.5 cm) strip from before, and staple 1 end to the top of the tube. Bring the other end of the strip to the other side of the tube, and staple it in place as well.  Make sure that both ends of the strip are stapled to the top of the tube. You can glue the strips in place. Hold them with paper clips or clothespins until the glue dries. Choose 2 to 3 colors of paper...

In order for your child to be happy later in life (and in order for you to gauge your child's happiness), it's important to teach your kid to express emotions and feelings. Some children may have trouble doing this on their own, but you can work on ways to help your child identify emotions and express them accordingly.  Try having your child make a list of current feelings. Then talk about why your child feels that way, taking time to focus on each emotion/feeling. Have your child draw his or her feelings. Drawing is a great way to express what's going on internally, especially if your child is resistant to talking about feelings or has a hard time expressing emotions. Just like adults, some kids are simply more private and withdrawn than others. It doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong or being hidden from you, but check in with your child to let her know that you're there if she needs to talk. A great way to help your child feel more stable at home is by sticking to a consistent routine with your kid. Make yourself consistently available for emotional comfort, and make sure you're always supportive of your child. This may take time to develop into a consistent routine, but it's important for your child's happiness and sense of comfort. If your child has never journaled before, help him get started. If he already keeps a regular day-to-day journal, add an inspiration journal to his writing routine.  Having an inspiration journal can help your child learn that his experiences are important and meaningful. It can also help him get back on track when he's having a bad day in the future.  An inspiration journal can be as broad or as specific as your child likes. Start out by having him write about his daily discoveries, experiences, questions, and of course, inspirations. Exploring new places and things together can be an excellent bonding experience. It can teach your child a new level of curiosity, as well as a new way of seeing and thinking about the world.  Visit a museum together, take a dance...

TL;DR in English: Teach your child to express emotions. Be consistent. Help your child start an inspiration journal. Have adventures together. Help him find what he's good at. Teach your child gratitude. Know when to seek help. Find a therapist for your child.

To edit the story effectively, you need to try to read it with a fresh perspective. You may need to take a break and put the story away for a few days so you can think about other things or other stories. Then, after a few days, pull it out again and read it to yourself with fresh eyes. You may be surprised at how different it reads to you after you have not been staring at it for several hours straight. You may also try working on another piece of writing or doing a relaxing activity to get your mind off of the short story. Once you feel you have almost forgotten about the short story entirely, pull it out again and read it. This will help you see it from a fresh perspective and edit it from a fresh point of view. You should read the short story aloud to hear how it sounds on the page. This can help you identify basic issues like misspelled words or grammatical errors. It can also allow you to listen to the story and make sure you are writing for the ear. A good story will sound as good when read out loud as it does on the page. You may read the story out loud several times to get a sense of how the voice and tone works in the piece. You may use a pen to mark down sections or moments that do not sound clear or strong when read out loud. Tighten up your language so it feels intentional and strong. Read each sentence in the short story and remove any words that seem unnecessary or excessive. Often, you can remove adverbs or more than one adjective in a sentence to make it stronger. You may also try trimming down the words in each sentence so they are clear and easy to read.  For example, you may have the following sentence in your story: "He raced through the crowded, bustling street to catch the smelly, congested number 1 bus." This sentence may be more effective if you cut out one to two adjectives. You may edit it to read: "He raced through the crowded street to catch the number 1 bus." You should also check for any sentences that are long winded or run on sentences. Often, if a sentence goes over three to...

TL;DR in English: Come to the story with fresh eyes. Read the story out loud. Trim or remove any excess words. Replace cliche phrases with unique ones. Make sure your dialogue is clear and concise. Check that you are showing, not telling.

Heart palpitations, chest pains, and severe abdominal pain are all signs of a serious allergic reaction. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, stay calm. You may be experiencing a reaction that could be anaphylaxis. Get immediate treatment to avoid life-threatening symptoms such as anaphylactic shock or a heart attack. Focus on your breathing to help calm yourself down and make sure you’re getting enough oxygen. If you think you may be having a heart attack, call emergency medical services immediately. Some discomfort, nausea, or even diarrhea after you eat something could just be a harmless effect of eating food that was maybe too spicy, greasy, or heavy. However, if you experience extreme nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea that won’t go away after a few hours, you may be having a serious gastrointestinal reaction that needs to be checked out by a doctor to make sure it’s not dangerous. Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea could be a sign of a more serious systemic allergic reaction. Call your doctor if you’re still experiencing serious symptoms 3 hours after you eat. They may ask you to seek emergency treatment. A serious allergic reaction can cause a major drop in blood pressure, which can cause you to feel disoriented or extremely anxious. If you suddenly find yourself lost and confused, or your heart is beating fast and you have anxiety, you may be experiencing the onset of a serious reaction. Pay attention for any other potential symptoms that could confirm that you need immediate medical attention. Sometimes a serious reaction caused by a food allergy can take time to affect your whole system, and your blood pressure may be affected first, which could cause you to feel anxious and confused, but otherwise normal. Keep an eye out for additional symptoms.

TL;DR in English: Check for pain or tightness in your chest or abdomen. Pay attention to nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea after you eat. Take note if you suddenly feel confused or anxious after eating.

Use a cream or matte powder that is one to two shades darker than your skin tone and foundation.  Use foundation to shade the areas you would like to reshape or define, such as your chin, nose, forehead and cheekbones. This will offset the contouring and accentuate different areas of your face.  Use a concealer that is one to two shades lighter than your skin. Move from the center of your hairline to the center of your forehead, down the bridge of your nose, the cheekbones under the outer corners of your eyes, and the center of your chin. Highlight under your eyes in an upside-down triangle shape. This will brighten your eyes. Using an angular motion, blend the blush from the apples of your cheeks back towards the temples. The idea is to draw a triangle that points towards your nose.  Avoid getting the color too close to your ears. Try a shade like plum, and then contour your eyelids with a bronzer. The combination of darker eyeshadow and the bronzer will add definition to your eyes. You can do this by putting a small amount of liner on the sides of the lips. This will give your face a less rounded, and more angular appearance.

Sewing the screen shut is an option if the hole is too large to use adhesive. In some cases, you will not be able to sew the screen together without stitching a piece of scrap screening over the damaged area. To prep the screen for darning, unravel a few strands from the perimeter of the screen to use as your thread. Match the two ends of the screen as evenly as you can. If you cannot line up the two ends without leaving a noticeable hole in the middle, you may need to sew a piece of scrap screening over the hole. If you have any old or broken window screens, cut out a rectangle that is approximately the size of the hole. Patch screen material can work if no scrap screening is available. the strands through the screen with a needle. Once the torn edges are lined up, use a needle to weave the thread through the screen strands. If you don't have strands of screen material available, use a strong, long lasting thread (like heavy-duty or polyester thread). Make the stitches as small and identical as possible, and continue sewing until the hole is closed. Sew the torn edges together first and then, if the hole is still noticeable, place the patch over top and sew around its perimeter.

TL;DR in English: Unravel a few strands from the window screen. Line up the window screen seams as neatly as possible. Weave

On any snorkeling adventure you are bound to get some water in your tube at some point, sometimes either due to surf conditions or excessive splashing, or by letting your head dip too low in the water. Learning to clear your snorkel will keep this from being a cumbersome disruption to your experience. You should feel that water is entering the snorkel barrel. Make sure the end of the tube is in the air this time. This blast method of snorkel clearing will remove nearly all the water from your snorkel. By repeating the blast method you should clear any water that enters into the snorkel. Sometimes you will get water in your tube when you have no air in your lungs. If there is only a little water, inhale slowly and carefully without letting water into your mouth until you have enough air for a full blast. If there is too much, you will need to lift your head out of the water and take a breath around the mouthpiece. Once you get adept at clearing your airway, you can consider diving below the surface of the water to get a better look at something nifty. Take a deep breath and swim down. When you need a breath, surface, keeping your face underwater, and clear your flooded snorkel tube like you practiced.

TL;DR in English: Breathe cautiously. Hold your breath and place your head below the water, submerging the end of the snorkel. Surface your head without lifting it out of the water. Exhale through your mouth quickly and forcefully into the snorkel. Expel any remaining amount of water with a second forceful blast. Master airway control. Learn to dive.

Fruit juice isn't the only thing that can keep bananas from turning an unappealing brown. For example, soda water and club soda are known for their ability to keep sliced fruit fresh. Best of all, these liquids have the added benefit that they don't affect the taste of banana. Use them as you would use fruit juices, soaking the slices in the soda water before serving or storing them. Be sure to use soda water or club soda. Tonic water, a beverage that looks the same, has a strong flavor that doesn't go well with bananas. Tap water doesn't work quite as well as fruit juice or the other solutions in this article, but it's something you'll always have available and it's basically free. This, too, is used the same as the fruit juices: soak the banana slices in the water before using them how you wish. Citric acid (the same chemical that makes citrus fruits like lemons sour) is sold in a purified form as a canning additive. In this form, it is specifically used to keep fruit from discoloring as it stores. However, it's often difficult to find pure citric acid. Your best bet will usually be a health food store or a hardware store. Luckily, it is not especially expensive — less than $10 for a small bottle is common. To use citric acid, add three teaspoons to a cup of water and mix. Soak the slices in the bath as normal. Don't use undiluted citric acid, as it is far too sour. Vinegar can be used similarly to citric acid to keep fruit fresh. However, its strong sourness also makes it necessary to dilute it. As with citric acid, add a few teaspoons to a cup of water to make a bath and soak the banana pieces as normal. Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, is another acid that can keep fruit from turning brown. Powdered vitamin C can usually be found in most supermarkets as a cold-fighting supplement. Dissolve this in water (according to the directions on the package) to make a bath and soak the banana slices as normal. If you're in a pinch, a ground-up vitamin C tablet works as well. Since banana slices turn brown when they are...

TL;DR in English: Use soda water. Use tap water. Use diluted citric acid. Use diluted vinegar. Use dissolved vitamin C. Limit exposure to air.

Turn the burner to medium so the soup or broth bubbles gently. Gently stir the dumplings occasionally as they cook. This will prevent them from baking into a large clump. Simmer the dumplings until they're no longer doughy. Turn off the burner and serve the soup or broth with some of the rolled dumplings. To test if the dumplings are doughy, insert a toothpick into the thickest one. It should come out clean if the dumplings are finished cooking.

TL;DR in English: Simmer the uncovered dumplings for 10 minutes.

While there a lot of different ways to choose a bat, the most important criteria is comfort. You should, first and foremost, feel natural when swinging. To find the correct bat you should take your dominant hand and hold the bat parallel to the ground. It should feel slightly heavy and difficult to hold up. Choose a bat a 1/3 of an ounce lighter than this weight.  Check out this table of bat lengths by body type to get a good idea where to start shopping. This is the best thing you can do to get more power on the ball quickly. You want your arms and knees to be slightly bent and loose, not tensed. Work on swinging naturally and smoothly, avoiding jerky movements meant to hit the ball hard. Remember, good mechanics and a smooth swing are more important than trying to force as much power on your swing as you can. Despite its reputation as a little-league tool, the tee is great way to practice your swing mechanics and work on hitting the bottom 2/3 of the ball. Take 20-30 reps every day your practice, practicing not only how you hit the ball but where. Focus on hitting the lower two-thirds of the ball to get the best height and distance on the ball you can. You can tell when you hit it well by comparing distances. While even smaller players can hit the ball out of the park with good mechanics, it is easier to hit the ball farther when you are stronger. Remember, however, that swinging a bat requires your whole body, not just your arms. Areas to focus on include:   Abs and Core: A strong core helps you transfer energy from your legs through your torso, and is essential for bat speed and power. Incorporate sit-ups, crunches, planks, and medicine ball throws into every workout.  Legs: Most of your power comes through your legs, so you can often make the most dramatic gains through squats, leg presses, and box jumps.  Arms: Of course, you have to have strong arms to hit the ball hard. Practice swings and hitting off the tee should be a part of every workout, but you can also incorporate barbell rows, bench-press,...

The simple 'sit' command can be useful in many different situations. Most importantly, it is a great distraction technique for redirecting your dog's attention from an undesirable behavior, such as jumping up. When your dog jumps up on you, turn your back to them while keeping them in your peripheral vision. Ask her to sit and immediately praise her when she does so.  If your dog is too excited to notice that you are asking her to sit, ignore her excited behavior until she calms down, and then repeat the command. Again, as soon as she follows your command, give her lots of praise or a special treat to let her know this is the behavior that gets rewarded, not jumping. With this simple command, the goal is to redirect your dog's jumping behavior with a task that should be easy to perform and then rewarded well. Your dog will soon figure out which greetings get her your full attention and which don't. If your dog doesn't know the sit command yet, start teaching her the command along and then try this method. Some dogs exude such extreme excitement when greeting someone that it may be difficult and time consuming to wait for them to calm down for a redirecting sit command. If this sounds like your dog, she may be more inclined to grab a toy and shake it or hold it instead. Keep a special toy by your front door to throw for your dog or give to her when you come home. This will redirect her energy into playing with the toy as opposed to jumping on you or your guests. The key to keeping your dog calm, and therefore exhibit calm behavior, is to also participate in only calm behavior when you come home. Try not to use a high-pitched or loud voice when talking to her. This includes shouting at her when she starts jumping up. This type of vocal tone could encourage more excitement and jumping.  Instead of using physical punishment to discourage bad behavior, teach your dog what behaviors get them the most rewards from you. You will have to repeat the actions of her training multiple times before she will get it. Don't...

TL;DR in English: Redirect with a sit command. Use a special toy. Stay calm.

Weld a flat piece of 3/16-inch (0.5 cm) thick steel plate to the rear frame to mount your engine. Place the engine on the plate, and mark the holes for the mounting bolts so that the engine pulley lines up with the drive pulley on your axle. Attach the drive pulley on the axle prior to mounting the axle in the bushings. You can either use a set screw to hold it in position, or weld it directly to the axle, but it should be aligned with the pulley on your engine. Use the 0.5-inch (1.5 cm) steel rod for linkages, and the 0.75-inch (2 cm) for your axles. To make the 90-degree bends in the 0.75-inch (2 cm) rod, you may have to use a torch to heat the steel. Provide adjustable links for aligning steering, because it is very important to have the proper caster and camber: front-wheel vertical and steering tilt. Get some small racing wheels to give your kart the optimum acceleration and control. Fix them onto the axles with hubs and start working on the brakes, so the go-kart will be safe.  For the brakes, fix a disc onto the rear axle and a caliper assembly onto the chassis for the most professional system possible. Often, you can acquire these assemblies in relatively good shape from junked motorbikes. They're the appropriate size and will be easy to work with. Install a brake pedal to operate with your foot, regardless of what kind of acceleration you have. Don't leave too much to do with your hands other than steering. Depending upon your experience and the kind of engine you're working with, you may be able to put together a foot pedal, or you may just need to make it easy and throttle-up like you would a lawnmower. Even if you're going at relatively slow speeds, it's important to make sure you're not going to slip an axle on your first go-around. Double check your welds, your brakes, and the engine's mounting. Then take 'er for a spin!

TL;DR in English: Install the engine mount. Assemble your steering linkage. Install the wheels and brakes. Attach the throttle cable to the hand throttle. Double check your brakes and suspension system before test-driving.

Ticking is where you move an isolated part of your body, pause, and then repeat so it looks like it’s ticking. To tick your arms and torso, start by bending forward at your waist with your arms out in front of you so your waist and legs make a 150-degree angle. Then, lift your arms up about 2 inches (5.1 cm), and pause. Repeat 4-5 more times until your arms are over your head. Once your arms are all the way up, do the same thing with your torso, moving it up 2 inches (5.1 cm) at a time until you’re standing up straight again. Practice slowly at first. Then, as you get better, work on ticking at a faster pace. Start with your arms out straight at your sides. Then, bend your wrists so your fingers are pointing at the floor, and pause. Next, bend your arms so your elbows go down, and pause again. Now, bend your wrists the other way so your fingers are pointing up this time, straighten your arms, and pause. Finally, tick your shoulders up and down several times, and repeat. Ticking while you do the wave will make it look more robotic. You’re just breaking down each part of the move—like bending your wrists, bending your arms, and moving your shoulders up and down—and pausing for a second after each part to create the ticking effect. Since you mostly stay in the same spot while you’re doing the robot, bending down to a lower level is a great way to switch things up. Just bend both of your knees at the same time so they’re at about a 125-degree angle, and keep them bent like that when you dance. Don’t bend your knees too much or you might have a hard time balancing.  For a more dramatic effect, swing one of your arms back behind you and pretend to push an invisible pole into the back of your knee. At the same time, bend both of your knees. It will look like you’re bending your knees with the pole. When you’re ready to stand up again, straighten your legs using a slow, controlled motion. First, bend down so your legs are at a 125-degree angle. Then, hold your hand about 1 foot (0.30 m) above one of your knees, and...

TL;DR in English: Try ticking your arms and torso like they’re being controlled by cogs. Do a ticking wave to incorporate some hip-hop dancing into your routine. Bend your knees to do the robot closer to the floor. Pretend you’re controlling your legs with your hands.

At the end of a one-on-one outing, linger with your crush just a little longer than normal. Attempt to draw out natural pauses in your speech. Even if you’re nervous, try not to fill every moment with words. This allows a natural moment of anticipation to build. Creating more anticipation for the kiss will make it seem more exciting and out of the blue. If you want to make yourself as kissable as possible, be sure your breath is fresh and that you don’t have any body odor. It’s also helpful to apply an unflavored lip balm for soft lips.  Brush your teeth twice a day (especially your tongue) and floss regularly to keep your mouth ready for kissing. Always wear deodorant. It’s especially important if you find you get nervous and sweat a lot around your crush. This will signal that you’re hoping for a more intimate moment without being too obvious, enhancing the element of surprise. If you’re walking your crush to their door, for example, don’t trail far behind. Walk with them. If there are steps, you can even level a height difference between you by stopping a stair above or below where they do. Now that you’ve created a moment of physical closeness, it’s time to bridge any emotional distance. Say something sweet and surprising to make them feel close to you. It’s important that you believe the thing you say here, as the emotion behind your sentiment will be obvious. For example, making eye contact, you could say, “I felt really attracted to you today.” Don’t say anything after your sincere surprise comment. Simply draw out the moment. Shoot a brief glance at their lips, not longer than two seconds, and then make eye contact with them.  Try to keep your mouth gently parted, receptive to a kiss, during this look. If they look at your lips too, that is a great sign. If your crush feels the same way, they will meet your kiss. If they turn away, don’t force them to kiss. Respect them and understand that they may not share your feelings. If you’re feeling unsure about whether your crush will be receptive, lean in...

Locate the activation sticker on the front of the card. Find the ID number, activation code, and/or PIN number. Call the provided phone number to start the activation process. Follow the automated prompts or speak with an agent. Call customer service if you aren’t sure what to do. Use the gift card to make purchases from the correct merchant.

Regardless of what the situation may be (for example, their sporting event or taking on a promotion at work), make sure they know that you support them.  Be excited about opportunities that arise for them, and express that excitement. Be there in person to support when you can, like at a sporting event or at a fundraiser. Let others know about their opportunity, if they feel comfortable with that. Encourage them to take on the new opportunity by taking tasks off of their to-do list so that they can better focus. Offer to take care of some chores or errands so that they can focus their attention on their needs:   Grocery shopping Laundry or dry cleaning Cleaning your home Preparing food in advance Helping with administrative tasks, like sending emails or managing their calendar An unhealthy relationship is one in which one person holds the other back. Show they that you truly support they by encouraging they to chase their goals.  Offer to find ways to make their goals or dreams attainable, like helping them do research and learning more about their ambitions. When they feel discouraged, share uplifting words: “I know you feel like you're a long way from reaching your goal right now, but let's take a moment to look at how far you've come since you started!” There will likely be times when they feel pessimistic. Help them turn those feelings around by remaining optimistic.   If you feel pessimistic, too, and display that pessimism, then they might give up on their goals. Even if you do feel frustrated at times, find ways to continue to be supportive and to express that frustration in a healthy way. Find a friend to whom you can vent your frustrations, play sports, or take a walk. At times, the best way you can encourage them to do something is to give they space. Recognize when this is needed, and give them the space they need.   Giving too much encouragement can become or seem nagging, and no partner appreciates being nagged. Take this time to do something good for yourself: a warm bath, a good book, a...

TL;DR in English: Let them know that they have your support. Ask them what you can do to assist. Encourage they to go after their goals and dreams. Be optimistic for them. Give them space when necessary. Challenge them to be a better person.

Explain to them what is going to happen in the months to come, including how daily life will be structured for them and the rest of the family. Explain to older children that though they may be leaving their school, it doesn't mean they are leaving their education or their friends.    Ask them what they would be interested in studying. For example, if they love stargazing, get a telescope and study astronomy. Be sure to get them excited. Home education should be fun for the students -- not a punishment. That's the best motivator. If it'll help them, let them know that they're one of 1.5 million (and rising) students that are going to learn from home this year. Often children who leave the standard educational system for home education need some time to adjust. Instead of immediately jumping into "school at home," you may want to do unstructured activities and then slowly work into your routine. Determine how much "recovery time" is needed for each particular child, and work with them to create a different and more enjoyable learning experience.  If they're concerned, do research and back up your opinions with others' opinions; they shouldn't think that this is some tyrannical decision on your part. If they think they'll be behind, let them know that this means they can start taking college courses earlier -- if anything, this will speed up their education process. Encourage your child to stay in touch with friends they already have. You might encourage -- but do not force -- your child to become friends with another home-educated child as well. In many cases this will occur spontaneously if your family interacts with other homeschool families through co-op classes, field trips or homeschool sporting events.  One of the best things about homeschooling is that it doesn't take 8 hours to teach your child. In fact, at a brick-and-mortar institution, they'd spend most of their time waiting. You may be able to get done in 4 hours what their old school could get done in 7. That means more time for you and more time...

TL;DR in English: Prepare your younger children. Allow your tween or teenager plenty of time to adjust. Don't lose your child's old connections, in addition to forming new ones.

You will need 1 sheet for each floor in the house. Place the poster board on a flat work surface, such as a desk or table and then place the tracing paper over the poster board. Make sure that you have plenty of room to work and that the surface is flat and sturdy. The poster board is important since tracing paper is transparent. Identify where you want the borders of the house to be and then draw them to scale. However, make sure to consider the rooms and features that you want the house to have as you draw the outer walls. For example, you might make the exterior walls of your house 30 by 50 feet (9.1 by 15.2 m) if you want an extra-large living room. The second line you draw will be parallel to the first line all the way around. This second line indicates the thickness of your walls. The outer walls of the house should be at least 5.5 inches (14 cm) thick, but they can be thicker depending on your design and insulation plans for the house. For example, if you will be insulating the walls with hay bales, then the walls will need to be thick enough to accommodate the hay bales. After you have identified the inner and outer borders of the house, add lines inside the inner walls to indicate where rooms and hallways will be. Use 2 parallel lines for each of the walls and make the interior walls at least 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) thick. For example, you might create walls to indicate the borders of the bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways, kitchen, closets, living room, and dining area. ” If there will be a stairwell going from the first floor to the second floor, draw stairs and lines to indicate the walls alongside the stairwell. Then, write the word “up” at the base of the stairwell with an arrow pointing in the direction that people will walk up the stairs.  If your stairwell will not have walls on 1 or both sides, use a dotted line to represent the border of the stairwell. Do the same thing for the stairwells on the second floor of the house, except write "down" and draw an arrow to indicate where people will walk down...

TL;DR in English: Place 24 by 36 in (61 by 91 cm) tracing paper over the poster board. Draw the outline of the outside of the house. Add a second line to indicate the width of the house's walls. Create interior walls for separate rooms and hallways. Draw any stairways on the first floor and label them with “up.

If your gift card requires activation, there’s usually a white sticker or some other indicator prominently displayed on the front that says so. These stickers typically provide a toll-free number or a website link that you need to use to activate the card.  If you don’t see this sticker or something similar on your card, it’s probably ready to use and doesn’t need activation. You can also check for specific instructions printed on the back of the card or included with the packaging. If a card needs to be activated, the ID number and activation code will be on the sticker. Gift cards that need activation may also require you to use a PIN number. Flip the card over and look for a sticker or area that looks similar to scratch-off material on lottery tickets. Pull off the sticker or use a coin to scratch off the material to obtain the PIN number.  Be careful not to scratch the covering off too roughly, or you might remove the numbers underneath.  You may need the PIN number to activate the card and check the balance. Only some gift cards have PIN numbers. If you don’t see one on your card, don’t get worried! Dial the phone number on the sticker exactly as it appears and wait for instructions. Be sure to have your gift card in front of you so you can input or communicate the information required to complete the activation process. The phone number will probably be a toll-free 800 number. After you dial the number, you’ll either hear automated instructions or get a live customer service representative on the line. Follow the instructions you're given to correctly provide the activation numbers. If you can’t figure out if you need to activate the card or not, call the customer service number located on the back of the card. Follow the prompts until you get a live agent on the line. Then, ask them what you need to do. They can clear the matter up for you quickly! Be sure to read the information carefully, since some cards list 2 phone numbers: 1 for live customer service, and 1 for automated service that allows you...

Obviously, it takes the participation of a male dog to get her pregnant. Think whether she has mated with a male dog, or whether it's possible that she escaped and found one to mate with. Castrated or neutered male dogs can mate with a female but cannot produce sperm to impregnate her. Entire (unneutered) male dogs, however, can impregnate her. If possible, contact the dog's owners to confirm. The exception is a dog who was castrated in the recent past–less than four weeks before the mating. There is a theoretical risk that he could have sperm retained in his tubes, which he ejaculates during the mating. This risk is small, but cannot be completely ruled out. This can give you vital information about whether it's possible she is pregnant. If the event happened three months ago, then she cannot be pregnant. This is because the average gestation (length of pregnancy) is 62 to 65 days (with a range from 57 to 72 days). If she had got pregnant then, by 90 days she would have given birth already. This can help your vet decide which is the best test to detect pregnancy. Pregnancy diagnosis methods depend on detecting hormonal changes, physical changes, or identifying embryos in the womb. Which test is the most likely to give a definitive answer depends on the number of days that have passed since mating. If a bitch was mated and the heat has not yet finished, it is too early to know if she is pregnant.

TL;DR in English: Recall whether it's possible she has mated with a dog. Determine whether that dog is castrated. Record the date she mated. Establish the dates your female dog was in heat.

Hold the base of the clasp in one hand and press down on the latch with the forefinger on your other hand. It's easiest to use your dominant hand for pressing down the latch. If you're used to opening lobster clasps regularly on necklaces and bracelets, you can probably do this with one hand. Press down on the latch with your forefinger and support the bottom of the clasp with your thumb.

TL;DR in English: Press down on the latch to open the clasp.

Part of what makes people so nervous about asking somebody out is the possibility of rejection, or the idea that she will somehow be upset or annoyed that you asked her. But keep in mind that being asked out is flattering, no matter what the circumstances, and that you will probably be making her day just by asking her. This will save you a lot of time and trouble, and allow you time to make other arrangements, if necessary.  If you don't know whether or not she already has a date, try asking one of her friends, or bring up the topic of homecoming with her so that you can inquire about her plans. Don't try to convince her to ditch her date if she has one. It will be unfair to the other person, and reflect poorly on you. Remember: just because you aren't going to homecoming together, doesn't mean you won't have a chance with her in the future! Think of other girls (if any) that you'd like to ask out so that you're not left hanging in the event that your first choice says no. Having backups will also help ease some of the nervousness you may be feeling. You can ask her straight up either in person, over the phone, or over the computer. If you're feeling more creative, come up with a less straight-forward romantic gesture like leaving a note or flowers on her car or in her locker.

TL;DR in English: Remember that even if a girl says no, the gesture will be appreciated. Determine whether she already has a date. Keep your options open. Decide how you'd like to ask her.

Being overweight and living a sedentary lifestyle puts you at an increased risk for prostate cancer. Start a regular exercise program, even if it's just walking for 20 minutes every other day. Add resistance training to strengthen your muscles. Interval training may be a good choice if you don't have a lot of spare time to devote to training and exercise. Not having a good balance between work and play can increase stress levels, which in turn causes your body to produce more DHT. Set aside 15 or 20 minutes each day to do something that is fun for you.  Choose a restful, calming activity, such as reading a book, coloring, or working a jigsaw puzzle. You also want to make sure you're getting enough sleep. Too little sleep can also increase your stress level, leading to increased DHT levels. Stress may cause your body to convert more testosterone to DHT. A massage not only reduces overall stress, it can also stimulate and improve circulation, which can encourage hair growth. Try a massage every other week for a couple of months and see if you notice any improvement in your overall stress level. On top of the other health risks of smoking, smokers also have higher DHT levels than non-smokers. If you have elevated DHT levels and you smoke, quitting can help normalize your body's DHT production.  Because cigarette smoking increases levels of DHT and other hormones, it may cause an increased risk of prostate cancer (although some studies have shown the opposite). Smoking does increase the likelihood of death from prostate cancer. Smoking in and of itself also causes hair loss, regardless of the effect of smoking on DHT levels.

TL;DR in English: Exercise 3 to 5 days a week. Schedule time for rest and relaxation. Get a massage to reduce stress. Quit smoking.

To determine how much elastic to insert into your pant leg, try measuring the elastic around your ankle or around the ankle of the person who will wear the pants. This will help to ensure that your elastic pant leg hem will be a good fit. Wrap the elastic around the ankle without stretching it and then cut it about an inch past the area where the two ends meet. Keep in mind that you do not want to make your elastic bands too tight or too loose. Aim for a comfortable fit. As you work the elastic through the hem, make sure that the elastic does not get twisted. This could affect the look of your finished project. If the elastic does get twisted, then try to untwist it. If you cannot get it untwisted, then you may need to start over and try again. Using a larger safety pin may make your work go faster, but you cannot always use a large safety pin. The size of your casing will determine what size safety pin you can use. If you have wide casing, then you can go with a larger safety pin. If you have a small casing, then go with a small safety pin. Make sure that the safety pin does not open while you are working it through the casing. If it does, try to fasten it again without snagging the fabric. If you cannot get it fastened again, then pull the elastic out and start over.

TL;DR in English:
