The bohemian style is all about having fun with your clothing. If you want to dress as a bohemian, you need to stay away from dull, all neutral outfits. Instead, start wearing pieces in vivid red, vibrant orange, and eye-catching turquoise. If it’s fun and bright, it’s bohemian. To embrace the bohemian style, remember that patterns are your best friend. Look for retro prints, tribal designs, and whimsical patterns. If you find pieces with fun patterns in crazy colors, even better! Paisley, tie dye, and Suzani patterns are all must-haves for the bohemian wardrobe. Any piece of clothing or accessory with flowers on it is perfect to achieve a bohemian look. Embrace florals and don’t be afraid to over-do it. If someone calls you a “flower child,” you’re doing it right. Bold, colorful, show-stopping flowers are a staple in a bohemian wardrobe.

TL;DR in English: Embrace bold colors. Hunt for pieces with fun patterns. Get floral.

Place your egg yolk and half the sugar in a mixing bowl. Use a wire whisk to beat the egg yolk and sugar together. Keep beating until everything is mixed evenly. Then, set this mixture aside for now. In a pot, mix your cream, half-and-half, remaining sugar, and salt. Place the pot over medium-high heat. Stir the mixture often. Bring the mixture to a simmer and then reduce the heat to medium. Pour half a cup of your egg yolk mixture into the cream, half-and-half, and salt mixture. Add the egg yolk mixture gradually while whisking the half-and-half mixture constantly. Keep pouring and whisking until all the ingredients are evenly combined. Add another half a cup of the egg yolk mixture to the pot. Repeat the exact same process. Pour the mixture in gradually while whisking constantly to mix everything together. Use a heat proof spatula. Keeping the pot over medium heat, stir the mixture constantly. Cook the mixture until it begins to thicken. Times will vary depending on the precise heat of your stove. Once the mixture begins to coat the spatula, cook it for an additional one to two minutes before removing it from the heat. Get a clean bowl and a fine mesh sieve. Strain the mixture into the clean bowl through the sieve. Use a wire whisk and vigorously beat the ingredients together. Keep whisking everything together until it's mixed evenly. Fill a larger bowl with ice. Place the bowl with your ingredients into the ice bath. Use a wire whisk to stir the mixture occasionally. Keep the bowl in the ice bath until the mixture cools to room temperature. Take the bowl out of the ice bath. Cover it completely with plastic wrap. Freeze the bowl for at least two hours. However, it's best to freeze the bowl overnight. Make sure the bowl you're using is freezer safe. If it's not, transfer the mixture to a freezer safe bowl. When you're ready to serve the ice cream, use a spatula or wire whisk to vigorously churn the mixture. This will remove any ice chunks and get it to a creamy texture. Then, place it back in the freezer...

TL;DR in English: Whisk together your egg yolk and half the sugar. Heat the cream, half-and-half, remaining sugar, and salt. Add half a cup of the egg yolk mixture. Repeat the process with another half cup. Stir the mixture with a spatula over heat. Strain the mixture. Add the vanilla. Place the mixture in an ice bath and stir. Freeze the mixture. Whisk the mixture into the right consistency.

People often take one to three days off of work or school, depending upon the severity of their infection. This can be followed by about one full "restful week," often going to work, but postponing social commitments, chores, and other events until you are feeling better. Speak as softly and as little as possible as you are recovering. You can create a soothing mixture to help relieve tonsillitis pain. Combine 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey, 1 teaspoon (2.6 g) of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of apple cider vinegar mixed in hot water and drink as needed. Water also helps to prevent dryness and additional irritation of the tonsils.  Hot teas, warm broth, and other warm liquids can be soothing on the throat. In addition to hot drinks, cold ice pops can also soothe throat discomfort. Mix 1 teaspoon (5.6 g) of salt into an 8 ounce (236 mL) glass of warm water. Gargle the salty water, spit it out, and repeat as necessary to relieve the sore throat caused by tonsillitis. It is important to minimize any irritants that can worsen tonsillitis, such as dry air, cleaning products, or cigarette smoke. Also, try using a cool-air humidifier that adds moisture to the room. Many lozenges contain topical anesthetic within them, which can help to diminish pain in your tonsillar area and throat. " Always consult your doctor prior to trying any of the following alternative remedies, to ensure they are safe for you in consideration of any other medical conditions you may have. There are not recommended for children and adolescents. Options to consider include:  Papain. This is an anti-inflammatory enzyme that may help to reduce inflammation of the tonsils. Serrapeptase. This is another anti-inflammatory enzyme that may help in tonsillitis. Slippery elm in lozenge form. This has been shown to aid in pain relief. Andrographis. This is aimed at treating symptoms of fever and sore throat.

TL;DR in English: Get lots of rest at home. Drink liquids and eat soft foods to soothe pain and discomfort. Gargle with warm water and salt. Remove any environmental irritants. Try lozenges. Consider "alternative remedies.

Helpfulness is one of the hallmarks of a nice guy. Look for ways that you can be more helpful to everyone around you, and remember that even small gestures are appreciated.  Pay attention to how your friends and loved ones are feeling. If they seem overwhelmed by something, always offer to help them in whatever way you can. For example, if your mom is stressed out about a party she is hosting, offer to help clean the house or pick up the groceries she needs. Help people you don't know as well. You can do this by volunteering for charitable organizations, or even just by helping a stranger pick up a stack of papers that he dropped in the hallway. Don't expect to get anything in return. Kindness is often repaid, but your goal should not be to be rewarded for your helpfulness. Nice guys take the time to really listen when someone is talking to them. The next time you're having a conversation with someone, be sure to listen attentively and respond in a meaningful way.  Avoid distractions that might make the other person think you're not listening. Always put your phone away when you're having a conversation and maintain eye contact to show that you are fully engaged. Don't interrupt people, even if you think you know what they're about to say. Always let them finish talking before you share your thoughts. Nice guys always express gratitude when other people do nice things for them. No matter how big or small the gesture, always say thank you when someone else does something nice for you.  Consider doing something nice in return. For example, if a friend surprised you with concert tickets, consider treating her to lunch the next time you see her. Be grateful to people you don't know too. If a stranger holds the elevator for you, for example, be sure to thank her. Happiness is contagious and it makes people want to spend time with you. The happier you are, the nicer you will be perceived by others, so make an effort to smile and laugh a little more each day.  Always smile when you see somebody, whether you know...

TL;DR in English: Offer to help others. Be a great listener. Be grateful. Smile and laugh. Be honest. Treat women with respect.

Before they are ripe, cotton bolls are closed up and resemble large seeds. They are greenish brown in color and often solid. Once the plant goes into bloom, it develops the white, fluffy cotton. If you are using a cotton picker, wait until the majority of your crops have exposed cotton balls. This way, you can maximize your yield. Cotton is typically planted in April. In general, it takes 150-180 days from planting until cotton is ready for harvest. If you live in an area with warm temperatures in the spring and summer, your cotton should be ready for harvest by the end of July. Do this if you live somewhere with very warm springs and summers. Local weather and growing conditions cause the cotton to develop faster or slower depending on your particular region. If your cotton is not ready for harvest in July, let it grow until the bolls open up. This on average occurs throughout the fall if you live in an area with more mild spring and summer weather.

TL;DR in English: Harvest your crops when the bolls open up and expose the fluffy cotton. Start harvesting cotton in July if you live in warm climates. Pick cotton through November if you live in cold climates.

If you react to your own stuttering with fear and panic, it will be difficult for you to talk to girls. One way to get over your fear is to intentionally practice stuttering with people you feel comfortable around, such as your parents or a close friend. This is called “voluntary stuttering” or desensitization. Voluntarily stuttering gives you the sense that you’re in control of your stuttering.  Talk to a close friend or relative for about 5 minutes, and stutter on purpose at least 5 times in a clearly noticeable way. Stutter in the very first part of the conversation to put your stuttering in the open right away. Go to a fast-food restaurant or store, and intentionally stutter when asking a question or giving your food order. The goal with these exercises is to practice feeling confident through a stutter. This won’t eliminate your stammer, but it will help save you from feeling terrible about stuttering when you’re talking to a girl you want to impress. One of the challenges of stuttering is that you’re likely to feel confused, embarrassed, and unable to think when a stutter comes up. One way out of this is to stretch out the initial sound of a word (where the stutter usually occurs), allowing you to pull through the stutter to the rest of the word.  For example, in the word “soda,” intentionally linger on the s-sound, and gently pull through to the o, as “s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-oda.” Repeat this practice with your parents, or a trusted friend, intentionally slowing down the consonants at the beginnings of words. For example, ”Wwwould yyyyou like to go out for ddddinner tonight?" Try challenging yourself by intentionally stuttering on words or consonants that tend to be difficult for you to say without stuttering. If you’re so intent on getting through your own speech without stuttering, chances are you’ll miss out on what a girl has to say. She’ll notice this, and assume that you’re not interested in her - which might be far from the case! By learning to pay close attention to what she’s saying, you’ll be a...

TL;DR in English: Practice voluntary stuttering. Practice stutter modification. Improve your listening skills. Find a support group.

If you can see the string, and it’s not also stuck inside your body, lightly tug on the string while squatting close to the ground with your feet and knees spread apart, but not wide enough for you to actually be sitting on the ground.  You want to lightly tug at the string to see if the tampon comes out on its own because this would be easiest. There should generally be at least an inch of string coming out of you if the tampon is properly positioned. Try different positions if it doesn’t come out right away.  Prop your feet with something and sit on the toilet. Or put one foot on the bathtub. However, many times the string is stuck inside a woman’s vagina with the tampon. It may take a minute or two until you can pull it out. If that's the case, move on to the next step. It’s easier to get a stuck tampon out if you do it while sitting, squatting down, or lying down.  You also want to bear down to try to dislodge it. Try changing positions if you can’t find it right away.  Prop your feet on a trashcan or bathtub, or squat over the toilet bowl for sanitary reasons. Bear down as if you’re straining to have a bowel movement or are giving birth or are doing reverse kegels. Sometimes, this can force the tampon out. Bearing down will help ease it into a more easy-to-reach position. Take a deep breath. If you prefer to lie down, lie flat on your bed with your knees bent. Insert one finger in your vagina and feel for the tampon or its string. If you can feel it, start nudging it toward the opening of your vagina. When it gets close enough, grab the tampon with your index finger and thumb. You are going to have to put your finger into your vagina as far as possible. Make circular motions with your finger between the cervix and vagina. This is where most stuck tampons are. You might need to use your index finger and your thumb.   Find the tampon, and insert another finger if you'd only used one at first. Catch the tampon's cotton cylinder between your fingers, and try to pull it out. You will need to pull out the...

TL;DR in English: Pull on the string. Sit, squat down, or lie down. Insert a single finger while exhaling.

You can engage the different muscles in your body without using or disturbing your broken wrist. To strengthen the muscles in your legs, do simple squats and lunges and keep your arms neutral on the sides of your body.  Do squats by standing in a wide stance, facing forward and keeping your back straight. While pushing your hips and butt back and knees slightly forward, squat down until your thighs are slightly past parallel to the floor. Remember to keep feet and knees pointed in the same direction. Your knees should never extend beyond your toes. Straighten and repeat.  Do alternate lunges by stepping forward with one leg. Then, lower your body by flexing the hip and knee of the front leg until your rear knee almost touches the floor. Return up and lunge forward using the opposite leg. Although many back exercises require the use of dumbbells and weights, you can do bodyweight exercises that can be done with a broken wrist.  Do bridges by laying on the floor on your back with your arms resting next to your body. Keep your feet flat on the floor and knees bent. Slowly raise your bottom up until your knees and shoulders form a straight line. Remain in this position for 10 – 15 seconds, then lower and repeat.  The dart is another exercise you can do with a broken wrist. Lie down on your stomach and keep your arms extended toward your feet next to your body. Lift your upper body and legs off the floor at the same time using your back muscles. Count to 10 – 15, relax, and repeat. Abs are easily worked with a broken wrist when you choose exercises such as twists and crunches.  To begin with crunches, lie flat on the floor with your lower legs on a bench. Keep your arm with your broken wrist on your side at all times, and bring your other arm up behind your neck. Raise your upper body from the mat by contracting your abdominal muscles. Raise your torso as high as you can while keeping your lower back on the floor. Bring your torso back down, and repeat.  With twists, both your arms are extended out to each side...

Update your wardrobe for current trends. Organize a shopping trip. Give away any clothes that you don't wear. Mix and match clothes

Couches are made of many different materials, and while some can be cleaned safely with water, others require special cleaning solutions. Have a look at the upholstery tag on your couch to look for the letter code W, S, SW, or X:  W, S, and SW mean you can clean the couch with water- or solvent-based cleaners. X means you can't clean the couch with water or solvents, so you'll have to take it to a professional to clean the blood. Before using any cleaner on your couch, you should always perform a spot test to ensure the cleaner won’t bleach the fabric, make the color bleed, or otherwise damage the material. Perform the spot test by applying cleaner to an inconspicuous area and letting it sit for 24 hours. Cleaners you may need to spot test for your couch are:  Rubbing alcohol Hydrogen peroxide Soap and water solution Upholstery cleaner Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub the area and loosen any dried blood that may still be on the surface of the material. This will make the stain easier to clean. After brushing, wipe the area with a dry cloth to remove flakes of dried blood. Dampen a clean cloth with cold water or rubbing alcohol. Wring out the cloth to remove excess liquid. Dab the stain with the damp white cloth to saturate the area with liquid.  Use only cold water to blot the area, as hot water can set the stain. It’s important to use white cloths to clean the couch, otherwise dye from the cloths may transfer to the couch. Water is safe to use for couches marked with W and SW letter codes. Alcohol is safe to use on couches marked with S and SW codes. Use a fresh cloth to blot the area and remove excess blood and liquid from the couch. Be sure to blot rather than rub, as rubbing can push the stain deeper into the couch and make it harder to clean. Keep dabbing until the cloth comes away dry.

TL;DR in English: Check the care label. Spot test your cleaners. Brush away excess blood. Blot the area with water or isopropyl alcohol. Dab the area dry.

Have 2 or 3 people help you lift the wrapped piano on the piano board onto the dolly. The flat shelf of the dolly will be about 3 inches (7.6 cm) high, so you’ll need to lift the body of the piano at least that high. Make sure to center the piano on the dolly so that it won’t tilt off on one side or the other.  A sturdy 4-wheeled dolly will be able to hold the weight of a large, heavy piano as it’s wheeled from stage to moving truck. Do not attempt to move a grand piano with a 2-wheeled dolly. You could offer your friends pizza and beer after the move is completed to entice them to help you. Move slowly, and have 2 or 3 people help you roll the piano on the dolly. Keep the piano balanced and upright as you wheel it across sidewalks and the asphalt surface of the parking lot to the waiting moving truck.  If you need to move the piano down stairs, you could lay a piece of plywood on the stairs for the dolly to roll down. Remember to put safety first, and keep the piano from tipping over or rolling on someone’s foot. Wheel the piano and dolly up the loading ramp into the moving truck, and then lift the piano off of the dolly. (Or, if the dolly has wheel locks, keep the piano on the dolly and lock the wheels) Keep the piano in its vertical position. Then, use 3 or 4 buckle straps to secure the piano firmly to the wall of the moving truck.  You’ll need to set the wrapped legs and lyre in the moving truck too, but these can be placed just about anywhere. You could even set them on the passenger seat in the cab with you. It’s best to rent a moving truck when moving a piano. Even if the piano would fit in a large pickup truck bed, you won’t be able to strap the piano vertically to the side of the truck. If you don’t have time to properly disassemble, pack, and move the piano, you can contact a piano-moving company and have them do it for you. These companies are highly specialized and move only pianos, so they’re skilled at what they do. Look for a piano-moving company on the Piano Movers Network directory:...

TL;DR in English: Set the wrapped body of the piano on a sturdy dolly. Roll the piano to a moving truck. Strap the piano firmly in place. Hire a piano moving company.

The first thing you should do is make sure that you’re sleeping properly. When you don’t get enough sleep, your brain doesn’t work as well and all the studying in the world isn’t going to make a difference. You’ll have to put the parties and hanging out aside for a while until you feel better about your studying.  New scientific studies have shown that when we sleep, our body goes through a sort of cleaning cycle where our brains get flushed of all the bad stuff that shouldn’t be there. When you don’t get enough sleep, this bad stuff builds up and makes your brain work a lot worse. Adults need around 8 hours of sleep while teenagers need 10. Children ages 12 and under should get 11 hours of sleep. Experimenting to see how many hours of sleep you need is a good idea. Everybody is different so don’t feel the need to strictly follow a guideline. Eating a healthy, balanced diet is also important. Your body needs lots of different nutrients in order to work right and when you don’t have those nutrients, it can be hard to focus and absorb information. Eating balanced meals doesn’t just mean eating a lot of kale (although kale is really good for you). It mostly means making sure that you’re eating a lot of different foods in healthy proportions. You have to adjust for your particular lifestyle, but a good balance to start with is:  30% vegetables. Lean towards dark greens like kale, chard, spinach, and broccoli, since these have more nutrients in them. 20% fruits. Try to choose nutrient-rich fruits, like citrus fruits and kiwi, or fruits which are high in fiber, like apples, pears, and bananas. 30% whole grains. Choose nutrient-rich grains like brown rice, quinoa, and oatmeal, and look for whole grain products whenever you do eat any grain. 20% protein. Try to choose lean proteins when you eat meat (turkey, chicken, and fish) and complete proteins when you eat other protein-rich foods (you’ll need to mix foods like nuts, lentils, and beans to get a complete protein, or eat whole soybeans like soy nuts and edamame)....

TL;DR in English: Get plenty of sleep. Eat balanced meals. Drink plenty of water. Wear comfortable clothing. Use caffeine carefully.

Fill the jar with lukewarm water. Cover the top of the jar with muslin or cheesecloth. Secure it in place using a rubber band or tightly tied twine. Absolutely do not cover the jar with the solid lid. Leave the jar in a warm place, overnight. The lentils must soak for at least 8 hours. Your hot water cupboard or in the kitchen near to where to cooking is happening can make nice warm places to encourage germination. Pour off the water the next day. Leave the muslin cover in place while pouring (this keeps the lentils in there). Turn the jar upside down and drain well. The easiest way to do this is to sit it in a colander or similar kitchen tool.

TL;DR in English: Place the lentils into a large, clean jar. Cover the jar. Soak the lentils. Drain the lentils.

Being fashionable requires a bit of creative improvisation. Experiment with new looks and disregard anything that you don't feel comfortable with.  Updating your wardrobe can seem like a daunting task and can easily get expensive, which can be difficult especially if you’re still growing and don’t have a lot of extra money, but you can do a lot with a little. Separate your clothes into two categories: clothes you like and wear, and clothes you don’t wear. Clean out your wardrobe by donating or selling the clothes you don’t wear. Then take a look at your “keep” pile. Note which clothes are fashionable and which ones aren’t. This will help you start to build a base for your updated wardrobe. Ask a parent, older sibling, girlfriend, or any fashionable friend to go shopping with you. They might be able to offer advice and pick out some great clothes for you.  Your siblings or your friends will be able to give you advice on what works or doesn’t work for you and can help you pick out something that you might not on your own. Create a list of clothing items that you need as staples. For example, you may want to get one pair of jeans you can wear for almost any occasion, a pair of chinos, a casual button down shirt, dress shirt, and a sweater. Often times we hang onto clothes that don't fit or we hardly ever wear. Gather up these clothes and donate them to a charitable organization or sell them to a resale shop. Be prepared that your parents may be reluctant to throw out clothes that still fit you.  If your parents are reluctant to let you get rid of the clothes you already have, you can try selling them to earn your own money for new clothes. Just make sure that you are upfront with your parents. Being a teenager can make it hard to find the right fit since you may grow several inches in just a few months. Check out consignment stores for cheaper clothes, or shops like H&M and asos, which offer plenty of trendy items at lower prices.  Shopping at stores that offer lower prices can also help you to convince your...

The most straightforward way to lose your voice is simply to use your voice box until it can't be used any more. Vocal activities like talking, shouting, singing, etc. require the vocal cords of the larynx to vibrate smoothly - with overuse, these cords can become inflamed, interfering with your ability to do these things. Try talking constantly at as loud of a volume as is reasonable for wherever you are. With persistence, your voice should eventually begin to fatigue. The more you talk the better!  If you're looking for opportunities to talk loudly and at great length, try signing up for a public speaking class or simply holding conversations in a crowded bar or club. Singing can put serious demands on the vocal cords - singing at a high volume or in a very low or high register, even more so. These dangers are amplified if you're not a trained or experienced singer. So, for a sure-fire way to ruin your voice, try singing at full volume in a vocal register that's difficult for you.  Obviously, you'll want to make it a point to avoid performing warm-up exercises before you sing. If you're embarrassed to sing loudly, try singing in the car with all of the doors closed and the windows rolled up. Other motorists will assume you're just singing along to the radio. Though it's not uncommon for people with colds to cough until they lose their voice, you don't necessarily have to have a cold to cough. Any kind of repeated coughing will irritate your larynx and eventually cause inflammation that can lead to losing your voice. Try combining your coughs with one of the other methods in this article for maximum effect. As with shouting and singing, excessive coughing in the long term can cause lasting pain and damage to the throat. As discussed above, a dry throat is a throat that's easy to wear out. To speed up the process of losing your voice, allow your mouth and throat to dry out by keeping your mouth open throughout the day. This will work especially well if you live in a dry climate. If you're worried about how...

TL;DR in English: Talk, talk, talk. Sing. Cough. Keep your mouth open. Don't drink water. Consume acidic foods and/or dairy. Drink very cold water.

So you're not content with the basic ideas above? In this section, we'll discuss some more "out-there" ideas for covering your binder. For example, if your binder and the cover are different colors, consider using a negative space design for a striking effect.  Negative space is the area that surrounds an object. Playing with both negative and positive space in your picture will help bring balance and interest to your design.  To create a negative space design, take a blank cover and cut shapes, letters, pictures, and so on into it — the binder underneath will show through and appear to give these shapes their own color. If you're worried about the holes in your cover allowing your binder to wear, cover them with clear packing tape. You'll still get the negative space effect, but your binder will be well-protected. Ever notice how chewing gum usually comes in a shiny foil wrapper? If you have a lot of these wrappers lying around, you can use them to give your binder a cool metallic sheen. Gently flatten the gum wrappers and stick them to your binder cover (or the binder itself) with a small amount of glue. Repeat until the whole surface is covered. Voila—a metallic binder.  If you're having a hard time getting the wrappers perfectly smooth, try rubbing them with a coin or the front of your fingernail to smooth them out. You can also use clear packing tape here as well to put a clear protective layer over your wrappers. Don't throw away your calendars after the year is over — instead, use the photos or artwork inside as a cover. Simply cut the picture out, lay it on your binder, trim the edges to fit if necessary, and cover it with clear packing tape to secure it. This thick, durable tape is great for protecting your binder and can give it a semi-metallic sheen. You can also find a wide array of color selections. If you don't want to stick the tape directly to your binder, try making a "sheet" of tape by sticking two layers of tape so that their sticky sides face each other.  Making basic designs like...

TL;DR in English: Use negative space designs. Make a metallic gum wrapper cover. Use old calendar photos for big, gorgeous images. Make duct tape patterns. Add your favorite quotes. Give your binder an aged look. Bedazzle your binder. Make a collaborative cover with your friends.

An education and the right amount of money are not all the ingredients of a successful property manager. You should get a feel for the everyday life of a property manager by working as one for someone else. This will also expand your network of colleagues in the industry. The more you prepare for your career, the smaller the learning curve later on. Once you have built up some experience and income, find a good time to invest in properties. You will need a considerable amount of money, which will likely have to come from elsewhere. The two best ways to raise this money are by either finding investors or taking a loan.  Take a loan. Banks are a good place to look for a loan to buy houses. Some banks even specialize in funding real estate ventures. Gather your credit information and meet with a few banks to see what they are looking for, and what they expect from you. Find investors. Using the connections you made, ask around to see if anyone is interested in investing in a new property manager. When making pitches to potential investors, make sure you name the specifics: what exactly they are investing in, who is involved, exact financial numbers, why you make a good manager. Besides the financial limitations of new property management, you don’t want to stretch yourself too thin while you are still getting off the training wheels. Look into buying 1 or 2 properties and expanding from there, when you feel comfortable. Properties are listed in various places such as the internet, newspapers, or even with your realtors’ association. Based on the properties you own, some listing methods may be better for finding renters than others. Renters in college towns generally look on the internet first, while families or professionals may check with realtors. Make sure you evaluate their ability to pay rent on time, cleanliness, and credit history before agreeing to rent them the property. If you are renting in the vacation rental industry, it is possible to attract renters through your own website, and/or through...

TL;DR in English: Get experience managing others’ properties. Raise capital. Look for available properties. Find renters. Keep meticulous financial records. Know state and local laws. Consider using a software company to help with your property management. Maintain your properties.

Insects, worms, and other animal food is most safely obtained at a pet store or aquarium store, while plant matter should be organically grown away from roadside exhaust. If a local aquarium expert tells you that collecting animals or plants from outdoors is safe in your area, then you may follow her advice. Otherwise, understand that collecting these supplements yourself carries the risk of disease, parasites, or harmful chemicals. One to three times a week, give your fish frozen or live insects and other animal foods instead of their usual feeding. Always research your fish species' needs or ask an expert before selecting a food, as some foods can transmit disease or cause digestive issues when fed to certain species. Common foods available at pet shops include bloodworms, tubifex worms, daphnia, and brine shrimp. As with any feeding, only provide tiny amounts of food; enough to eat within 30 seconds may be enough for some species.   Warning: Freeze-dried foods are another option, but should only be used occasionally due to the digestive issues large amounts can cause in some species, such as bettas.  Avoid live tubifex worms, even ones sold at pet stores and raised on fish farms. They are known to cause diseases in many species, although the frozen variety is typically safe. Herbivores and omnivores will likely be healthier and more colorful if you supplement their diet with the occasional plant matter, and even many carnivorous species can eat plants for useful nutrients. As always, research your fish species online before feeding it a new food. You can attach a piece of vegetable inside the tank with a vegetable clip, or cut it into small pieces to feed to your fish. Be sure to remove any uneaten vegetables within 48 hours, or it will start to rot in your tank.  Carrots, zucchini, cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, and peas are just a few of the vegetables your fish might enjoy. Feed once every few days or as advised for your species. Using spirulina powder, infusoria, algae, or other plant matter sold at...

TL;DR in English: Obtain these supplements from safe sources. Feed carnivorous fish live or frozen animals. Feed most fish vegetables or algae. Feed your fish a variety of these supplements for greater health. Provide straight vitamins or minerals if you notice problems. Seek specific advice for raising newborn fish.

To start, empty out the lint screen the same way you would after doing laundry. You should do this each time you do laundry. When cleaning the vent, check the lint screen first and remove any small amounts of lint. It's always good to start with a clean lint screen when cleaning your dryer. Never start cleaning a dryer vent while the dryer is still plugged in. This can be extremely dangerous. Find where your dryer's cord is plugged into the wall. Disconnect the plug. The dryer vent is found behind the dryer. You will need to pull your dryer away from the wall to clean your vent. Sometimes, very heavy dryers cannot be moved. It may also be hard to move a dryer if you have limited space in your laundry room. In these cases, you may need to hire professional cleaners. If your dryer is very heavy, find someone to help you. The dryer vent is a hole that runs through your wall. There will be a tube connecting the dryer to the vent, attached to the wall with screws. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws. Then, remove the tube from the wall so you can access the vent.  The type of screwdriver you need varies. Examine the screws to see if you need a Phillips or flathead screw driver. Keep the screws in the same place. You will need them later to reattach the tube. Take your vacuum cleaner's nozzle attachment. Vacuum out the vent that runs into the wall, sticking the nozzle into the vent as far as it will reach. Then, vacuum out the tube running into the dryer, again vacuum the tube as far as the nozzle reaches. You should remove a great deal of lint this way. If you do not have a vacuum cleaner, use a flexible dust brush with an extendable handle. You can also use compressed air to blow lint out of the dryer vent. Reattach the nozzle running from the dryer in the wall by placing the screws back in place. Then, slide the dryer back into place. Plug the dryer back in. Your dryer should be ready to use now and, as the vent is clean, you should see a noticeable improvement in drying times.

Many planners and advisors require that their clients have an investment portfolio of at least a minimum value, sometimes $100,000 or more. This means it could be hard to find an advisor willing to work with you if your portfolio isn't well established. In that case, look for an advisor interested in helping smaller investors. How do financial planners help? Planners are professionals whose job is to invest your money for you, ensure that your money is safe, and guide you in your financial decisions. They draw from a wealth of experience at allocating resources. Most importantly, they have a financial stake in your success: the more money you make under their tutelage, the more money they make. The herd instinct, alluded to earlier, is the idea that just because a lot of other people are doing something, you should, too.  Many successful investors have made moves that the majority thought were unwise at the time.  That doesn't mean, however, that you should never seek investment advice from other people. Just be wise about choosing the people you listen to. Friends or family members with a successful background in investing can offer worthwhile advice, as can professional advisors who charge a flat fee (rather than a commission) for their help. Invest in smart opportunities when other people are scared. In 2008 as the housing crisis hit, the stock market shed thousands of points in a matter of months. A smart investor who bought stocks as the market bottomed out enjoyed a strong return when stocks rebounded. This reminds us to buy low and sell high. It takes courage to buy investments when they are becoming cheaper (in a falling market) and sell those investments when they are looking better and better (a rising market). It seems counter-intuitive, but it's how the world's most successful investors made their money. Your life and conditions in the market change all the time, so your investment strategy should change with them. Never be so committed to a stock or bond that you can't see it for what it's worth....

TL;DR in English: Consider using the services of a financial planner or advisor. Buck the herd instinct. Re-examine your investment goals and strategies every so often.

They are traditionally made of maize (corn) and served flat, although flour tortillas are made in the north of the country. Tortillas are either used to wrap certain meals or served along with dishes as a way to gather and eat ingredients. Tortillas can be pressed or fried, depending upon how they will be served. Taco shells are often smaller, fried tortillas. Quesadillas are a larger, grilled version. Tostadas are fried to a crisp and loaded with various vegetables and meats. These beans are often boiled and then fried, earning the name "refried beans" in English. They are served along with meats, tortillas or in dishes. This is warm weather produce that grows closer to the equator. The following are common kinds of produce found in Mexican food:  Avocados are a large green, fleshy fruit that are native to Central America. The avocados may be sliced and served on tortillas, tacos or other dishes. It is most commonly mashed up along with onions, chilies and coriander (cilantro), and served as a dip or sauce. Chilies are a type of pepper that are used very commonly to flavor meats and dishes. Generally, the bigger the pepper, the less spicy it will be. The larger versions are often stuffed, as is the case with "chilies rellenos." The habanero is 1 of the hottest and smallest chilies that is often made into sauces. Jalapeños are also commonly served. Salsa, meaning sauce, is often made with tomatoes, onions, chilis and cilantro. The spiciness of the salsa varies greatly. Mole is made with a type of unsweetened chocolate, chili and other spices. Meats are often served spiced and grilled along with tortillas. This is made of the blue agave plant and aged to varying degrees. Tequila is enjoyed as a shot or as an ingredient in mixed drinks, such as margaritas.  Cerveza, or beer, is also a common drink in Mexico. There are many local beers, such as Pacifico, Negro Modelo, Sol, Dos Equis and Corona that are also served in other countries. Another type of drink, normally served in the Oaxaca region, is mescal.

TL;DR in English: Notice Mexican tortillas, which are served almost like bread in most parts of the country. Choose to eat beans, or "frijoles," at most meals during the day. Eat local fruits and vegetables that typify the Mexican diet. Enjoy meats, like chicken or beef, which are often stewed in sauces, such as mole or salsa verde. Drink tequila to enjoy the local liquor.

Some schools might require you to wear business casual or professional attire for the ceremony. Check your school’s website or contact the office in charge of graduation to confirm the dress code. If there isn’t a dress code, you should still attempt to look put together and professional. Pick a solid-colored or striped dress shirt with a collar, and add a coordinating tie. Opt for a pair of neutral-colored slacks or dress pants to round out the outfit, and wear a belt with your shirt tucked in.  If you live in a warm climate, you could also wear a polo shirt with a collar. To show off your school spirit, you can match your tie to the color of your robe or the school colors. Choose a dress in a neutral color, like white, tan, gray, navy, or black. If you’re wearing a skirt and a blouse, stick to a solid-colored top that’s easy to pair with a bright color. Pick a knee-length skirt in a solid color to add dimension to the outfit. Make sure the skirt or dress is an appropriate length for a professional occasion, but not so long that it sticks out of the bottom of the gown. Leave your purse or backpack at home for graduation, and stick to just the necessities, like your keys, phone, and wallet. If you’ll see your family before the ceremony, drop off your bag with them to retrieve it later. If you’re wearing a dress or skirt, look for one that has pockets to inconspicuously hold your phone, wallet, and keys during the ceremony. Graduation isn’t the best day to break in a new pair of shoes since you’ll be doing a lot of walking and standing. Pick a pair of comfortable dress shoes or loafers if you’re going for a masculine look. For a feminine outfit, opt for flats, comfortable wedges, or chunky heels.  Avoid wearing stiletto heels or very high heels for the ceremony, especially if it’s outside. Your heels might get caught in the grass, or you might trip while you’re walking in the processional. Wear your shoes for a few hours the day before the ceremony to practice walking and make sure they’re comfortable.

TL;DR in English: Follow your school’s dress code if they have one. Wear a dress shirt, tie, and pair of slacks for a more masculine outfit. Opt for a dress or a blouse and a skirt for a feminine look. Avoid bringing a bag to the ceremony. Pick a pair of comfortable shoes that are easy to walk in.

Pass the distillate through an activated carbon filter, such as those available at homebrewing shops, to remove unwanted volatile flavors and aromas. Carbon water filters can also be modified to purify the distillate. Add purified water to the distillate to attain the desired alcohol percentage. Use an alcometer to measure the alcohol percentage several times throughout this process until you achieve the desired strength. Fill bottles using a gravity bottle filler setup and cork or cap the bottles. Label the bottles with custom labels if desired.

You should take your pet to the vet when you first get it, to make sure it is in good health. Like other animals, you should also take your lizard to the vet once a year for a checkup. Most lizards need de-worming at some point in their lives. Ask your vet about it. Runny feces are a sign of poor health, at least if they last for more than 48 hours, and you need to consult a vet. Similarly, not going to the bathroom is also a problem.  Look for weight loss. Sudden weight loss can also be an issue. It may mean your lizard is not eating or drinking, and you need to talk to your vet.  Keep an eye on other changes. Other changes that could be a sign your lizard is sick include a runny nose, eyes, or mouth, or it may have joints that swell up or have trouble shedding its skin. Alternatively, you may notice discolored skin or the fact that it's avoiding open spaces more. New lizards you bring into your home should be kept in a separate cage for at least a month. That way, if your new lizard has a disease, it won't give it to your other lizards. Always feed, water, and clean the cage of the quarantined lizard last to prevent infection of the other lizards. You should completely clean the cage once a week. However, you should check the cage every day to take out uneaten food, remove shed skin, and take out poop. You should also clean up any spills, as well as clean the food and water dishes.  Place your reptile in another clean cage or container while you're cleaning out the cage once a week.  Put gloves on. Take everything out of the cage. Throw away any liners, sand, or bedding you may have used.  Clean and sterilize the water and food bowls. Wash in hot, soapy water. Use a disinfectant afterwards, but make sure to rinse it out thoroughly and then dry it.  Wash out the cage. You may find this part easiest to do outside. Use hot water and soap to scrub down the cage. You can use a clean toothbrush to help you scrub if need be. Also, wash and clean any decorations the same way.  Disinfect the cage. You can use one...

TL;DR in English: Take your lizard to the vet. Watch for health problems. Quarantine new lizards. Clean the cage. Provide stimulation.

A simple teaspoon of almond or cherry extract will quickly change the flavor profile of your desert. Similarly, a touch or spiced rum, chocolate liquor, or other strongly-flavored alcohols have long been used in custards. Add it after you've mixed the egg yolks in and stir well. Add these with the corn starch in the beginning and mix well. While you can't exactly call it "vanilla custard," you can drastically change up the desert with just this simple addition to the recipe.

TL;DR in English: Consider adding another flavor to your custard with extracts and liquors. Add 2 teaspoons instant coffee or cocoa powder (or both).

Before you can use this scrub, you will need to make sure that your face is clean and free of makeup. Use warm water and your favorite face wash. Gently pat your face dry with a soft, clean towel. This will help make the mask even more effective. You can open your pores up by leaning over a bowl of hot water so that the steam hits your face. You can also hold a hot towel against your face. Do this for a few minutes. Because this mask contains honey, it can get very sticky, especially if it gets into your hair. You can prevent a sticky, hairy mess by pulling your hair back and securing it with a headband, hair clip, or hair tie. A small dessert bowl or a cup would be ideal. Whatever you decide to use, make sure that you can easily reach into it; you will be applying the scrub with your fingers. You will need 1 teaspoon of raw honey, 1 teaspoon of milk, and 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of ground almonds. If you do not have ground almonds, or if you cannot find ground almonds, you can make your own by grinding some almonds in a blender, coffee grinder, or food processor. Using a spoon, mix the milk, honey, and ground almonds until you get a thick paste. Scoop the scrub out of the container using your fingers and apply it to your face. Gently massage it across your skin, so that the almond grains can exfoliate your skin. Avoid the sensitive areas around your nose, mouth, and eyes. Use cool water, and gently massage your face until you have rinsed the mask off completely. Rinse off with warm water. Do not rub your face with the towel. Instead, gently press the towel against your face in a light, tapping motion. If you wish, you can wipe your face with a cotton ball soaked in toner, and apply some moisturizer afterward. The toner will help tighten the pore and restore the pH of your skin, while the moisturizer will help lock the moisture in.

TL;DR in English: Start with a clean face. Consider using heat to open your pores. Tie your hair back. Find a small container to mix your ingredients in. Add some milk, honey, and ground almonds into the bowl. Mix the ingredients. Apply the scrub to your face. Rinse the mask off. Dry your face using a towel. Consider following up with toner and moisturizer. Finished.

Crickets are always a safe bet, as all tarantulas are insectivores. Depending on the tarantula, live grasshoppers, katydids, moths, mealworms, superworms), houseflies or cockroaches might also provide a welcome meal. Some tropical tarantulas will eat larger worms, like earthworms, and some larger tarantulas will accept live baby rodents, mice, lizards, and snakes. You can buy live crickets and other prey online or in pet stores. Buy insects in tubs or bulk orders, and keep them alive and well-fred. The ideal size for your tarantula's prey is about half the tarantula's leg span, or slightly smaller than the length of its body. Though large tropical spiders sometimes eat prey as large as themselves, in most cases you should opt for smaller creatures. Large prey may fight back and exhaust your spider.  A young tarantula of about 4 weeks old may have a two-inch leg span and a one-inch body, so you would feed it a cricket of about ¾ inch in length. Baby tarantulas are sometimes willing to scavenge dead insects, so if your crickets are too big you can cut them into appropriately sized portions. If your insects are small, you can serve up to four at a time to a large tarantula. However, this may cause your tarantula stress, and you may wish to serve them one at a time or to buy larger insects. Buy a large plastic storage box with a secure lid. The box should be deep, about 14 inches, so that the crickets can't easily hop out when you take the lid off. Use a soldering iron or a sharp object to poke two hundred or more holes in the lid and along the rim of the box. The hole should be small enough that the crickets can't fit through.  Humidity will kill the crickets. Keep the box in a dry place, and don't overcrowd it. You can store about a 1000 crickets in a 18 by 14 inch box. Put egg cartons and toilet paper tubes in the box for the crickets to climb over and hide on. This will prevent the crickets from crowding along a single surface and generating humidity. When you want to harvest some crickets to feed your...

TL;DR in English:


Have a special ceremony to bury your pet or scatter the ashes. Invite your child to express his or her feelings through a drawing or a letter. Plant a special tree or flower to honor your pet. Set aside a place in your home as a memorial spot for your pet. Create a scrapbook of your child’s favorite memories.

Non-stick cooking spray also works well for preventing your pita bread from sticking to the pan. Coat the pan well with oil or non-stick cooking spray and turn the heat on medium high. Let the pan heat for a few minutes before putting the first piece of pita dough into the pan. The pan needs to be very hot for the pita to puff up and cook properly. If it is not hot enough, the pita dough will not puff up, which is necessary for the pita to form a pocket in the center. Unpuffed pita bread is still useable, but you will not be able to stuff it. Press the air out with the back of your spatula or tongs before removing it from the griddle. Then, place the pita bread onto a plate. To keep the pita bread warm while the rest of the pita bread cooks, place a piece of foil or a pan lid over the plate. Pita bread tastes best when you eat it fresh. However, you can store your pita bread in an air-tight container or bag for up to 1 week in the refrigerator, or for up to 3 months in the freezer. Stack the pita bread and place wax paper between the pieces of pita bread to keep them from sticking together. Then, place the stack of pita bread into an air-tight plastic or glass container, or in a resealable bag. Place the bag in the refrigerator or freezer. Write the date on the container or bag to ensure that you use the pita bread in time.

TL;DR in English: Heat 0.5  fl oz (15 mL) of olive oil in a cast iron pan. Remove the cooked pita bread from the heat and place it onto a plate. Eat the pita bread immediately or store it in the refrigerator or freezer.

Skirts come in all different lengths, sizes, and styles, making it easier to pick one that will highlight the parts of your body you’d like it to. Think about what the ideal skirt would look like on you to help you decide which style will be best.  For example, if you don’t like your knees, you’re going to want to choose a skirt that hits below the knee. If you love your legs, you might pick out a miniskirt. These are skirts that will take the attention away from your stomach and pull it to your waist. High-waisted A-line skirts are a great option—A-line skirts are fitted at the waist and slowly widen as they reach the hem. Pick out an empire-style skirt, which has a fitted waist and a skirt that flows out, for a comfortable, laid-back option. If the bottom portion of your body is wider than the top portion, an A-line skirt's tighter waist will help draw attention to the smallest part of your waist while letting the skirt flare out at your hips. Pick out dark-colored A-line skirts that hit your knee for a great look. For example, choose a navy blue A-line skirt with a tie waist. If you have lots of curves, a pencil skirt will flaunt them in a flattering way as pencil skirts are very narrow and fitted. Choose a skirt that brings attention to your waist, such as a skirt with a belt or tie-waist, while also making sure the skirt isn't too tight.  Try wearing an A-line pencil skirt that's tighter in the waist and flows out in the skirt. Black pencil skirts are a great option that will go with almost any top. Pencil skirts are known for being tighter than others, so try walking around in your skirt before selecting it. This includes pencil skirts that aren’t too tight on your body, as well as A-line skirts with a loose skirt. Avoid choosing a skirt with tons of fabric, and stick to ones that show off the natural curves of your body instead of just covering them up. Pick out a pencil skirt that comes just below your knees to show off some leg, or opt for an A-line skirt in a fun pattern to add a bit of flare. If no...

TL;DR in English: Decide what you want your skirt to accentuate or hide. Try on high-waisted options if your body is shaped like an apple. Pick out an A-line skirt if your body is pear shaped. Select a pencil skirt to show off an hourglass body. Choose skirts with a defined waist if you’re plus size. Opt for skirts that hug your body if you’re ruler shaped. Wear a flared skirt if your body is shaped like an inverted triangle. Show off long legs with a flowy maxi skirt. Choose a shorter skirt to seem taller if you're petite.

Aim on getting there before noon, since the day’s heat and sunlight affect the chemicals in the water. If the pool’s systems were turned off, turn them on and wait at least 15 minutes for the chemicals to disperse. As long as the systems were kept on for at least 15 minutes, you can collect the sample immediately. Stand outside the pool, near the side, and reach down towards the water. You’ll want to get far away from any jets or skimmers, since these are where chemicals tend to accumulate. The middle of the pool is where you’ll get the most accurate results. You don’t need a lot of water, only enough to cover the testing strip or mix with the liquids in the testing kit. A clean cup or mug from your kitchen will do. If you have a plastic bottle, that’ll also work and is easy to cap in case you want to bring the sample to a professional. Make sure you wash out the cup or bottle with soap so the sample is as accurate as possible. The easy way to collect the sample is to hold the cup upside down at first. Lower your arm until the water is up to your elbow, about 12 to 18 in (30 to 46 cm) deep. Flip over the cup to collect the water. Pick a day of the week and test the water on that day every week. Most home pools can be safely maintained this way. If your pool is undrained during the winter, you will still need to perform the test once a week.  Ideally, you should test the pool 2 to 3 times a week. Pool water shouldn’t be allowed to freeze in winter. Lower the water level until it's below the skimmer and run the pumps normally. Stop ice from forming to protect your pool and collect samples easily! Most pool stores accept and analyze samples for no cost. They can give you a more accurate reading as well as make recommendations on what to do next. This is most helpful when you’re unsure of a problem or how to improve it.  For example, your pH level might be too high, but when you add chemicals to lower it, the alkalinity drops too low. Another example is when your water is green, but treating it for algae didn’t...

TL;DR in English: Run the pump in the morning for 15 minutes. Take the sample in the middle of the pool. Collect a sample in a cup or a bottle. Dip the collecting cup elbow-deep into the water. Test at least once a week. Take the pool sample to an expert when you’re unsure.

to the trim, switches, and edges of the shower or tub. Make sure to apply painter’s tape wherever the wall meets the ceiling or the floor. Tape door frames and light switches too. The tape will protect these areas from the paint and help make cleanup easier.   You may want to cover the floor with a canvas drop cloth, as well. You can remove the switch plates around your light switches with a screwdriver to protect them from the paint. It’s damaging on the lungs to inhale paint fumes, so reduce your risk by making sure there is plenty of air flow. Open a window, and position a fan facing outside, so it will whisk away the paint fumes.  If your bathroom doesn’t have a window, wear a filtered respirator to keep your lungs safe. Check if your wall is plaster by inserting a pushpin. If it goes in easily, you have drywall. You don’t have to apply primer for drywall, unless it is a brand-new, never-been-painted wall. If the pushpin does not go in easily, you probably have a plaster wall. If you have a plaster wall, apply one coat of primer with a paint roller. Allow the primer to dry completely, usually overnight, before applying the base coat of paint. Use a low-gloss paint for the base coat. This will make sure that the shinier latex glaze of the top coat stands out. Make sure your base coat resists mildew. The bathroom has a lot of moisture, what with the shower and the sink, so a mildew-resistant paint is best. You can ask at the paint store for recommendations about which interior paints best resist mildew.  Make sure that your base color paint looks good with your top color. A simple way to do this is to pick 2 colors from the same color family (i.e. different shades of red). Alternatively, pick 2 colors that are next to each other on the color wheel, like green and blue. The base coat can either be lighter or darker than the top color.   If your base color is lighter than your top color, the 2 colors will look more blended. If your base color is darker, the top color will appear to be floating off of it. This...

TL;DR in English: Apply painter's tape Make sure your bathroom is well ventilated. Apply primer, if needed. Select mildew-resistant paint for the base and latex glaze for the sponge coat. Pour some of the base coat paint into a paint tray. Use a paintbrush to apply the paint to the edges of the walls. Dip a paint roller into the base color and roll onto the bathroom walls. Smooth out roller marks with an unloaded roller. Let the base color dry overnight or until the paint is no longer tacky.

The process of burying or scattering a pet’s ashes can be a good way to help your child say goodbye and grieve. Plan a special ceremony to honor the life of your pet. You might even ask your child to help you plan the ceremony, if you think that he or she would like to do so. Your child might also find it helpful to draw a picture of the deceased pet or to write a letter to the pet that expresses how he or she feels. Ask your child if either of these activities sound appealing and offer your support.  You can guide your child through the process by sitting nearby and offering support if he or she wants advice on what to draw or what to say in the letter. After your child has drawn a picture or composed a letter, invite your child to put it somewhere special, such as on the pet’s grave or in a favorite sleeping spot. Your child may also like the idea of planting a special tree or flower in the backyard to honor your pet. Ask your child to help you pick out a tree or flower to plant. Then, choose a spot together and plant the tree or flower in your pet’s honor. An indoor memorial can also be a great way for your child to remember a beloved pet. Try setting aside a special place for a favorite photo of the pet, such as on the mantle over the fireplace or on a small end table. Put the photo into a nice picture frame and place the photo in the special spot. Invite your child to help you light a candle next to the picture frame to help keep the memory of your pet alive. Ask your child to help you put together a scrapbook of favorite memories with your pet. Pick out some photos that have special significance to your child and help your child put these photos into a scrapbook. Let your child keep the scrapbook in his or her room so that he or she can always look through it to remember happy times with the beloved pet.

Pick the baton exchange method. Stay on the correct side of the lane. Decide where to relay the baton. Keep running after you release the baton. Do speed drills. Practice the whole race.

You may be surprised to discover how deeply ingrained this habit is—both physically and mentally. Breaking it will help your brain cope with attempting more involved tasks down the road.  If you open doors with your right hand by default, start opening them with your left. If you usually take the first step on a staircase with your right foot, do it with the left. Keep working at it until leading with your left feels natural and easy. Good activities to start with include:  Eating your food (especially using a spoon). Blowing your nose. Scrubbing dishes. Brushing your teeth. Dialing phone number and writing SMS on a cell phone. Now that your left hand is comfortable with sloppier movements like scrubbing and brushing, begin refining your hand-eye coordination.  Tracing is a great place to start: having a defined edge to work with will help force your eye, which is visually tracing the outline, and your left hand, which is physically tracing it, to work in sync. Trace your right hand onto a piece of paper. Pushing the pencil against 3-D contours will help guide the left hand. Graduate to tracing 2-D images. You can think of this as taking down the gutter guards at the bowling alley. The hardest thing is to remember to use your non-dominant hand consistently during the day, so you need a good way to remind you not to use your dominant hand.  The thumb is used in almost every situation you use your dominant hand. Not being able to move it freely is an excellent way to make you aware of all the times you are using it—so try tying your right thumb to your right index finger with a piece of string. You could also try wearing a glove on your right hand or putting your right hand in your pocket or behind your back.

TL;DR in English: Resist the urge to lead with your right side. Do simple, everyday tasks with your left hand. Practice more precise movements. Tie up your right hand.

Anywhere, such as near your locker or at the water fountain, you can find someone that has things in common with you, all you need is to know how to approach them. Strike up a conversation, smile and compliment them, and, of course, introduce yourself and tell them where you came from! You never know where you can find a nice friend. Since you’re new, people are likely going to be curious about you and will be more open to talking with you. Take advantage of this. . It doesn’t matter whether it’s a club, the theater group or a sports team. It’ll give you the chance to meet new people that you’ll see regularly, two things that encourage the formation of new friendships. On top of that, joining extra-curricular activities means you’ll find others who enjoy the things you do more easily. You can also use this opportunity to try new things you might not have wanted to do at your old school. A new school is a chance to reinvent yourself, so don’t be afraid to try new things! You're probably not the only one and at the very least, you'll have one thing in common: you're both in an unfamiliar environment. Since being new is something that you all have in common, making new friends shouldn't be that hard. Talk about your old school, your new school, your opinions, grades, teachers, and you’re bound to find something in common. You’ll be noticed more there than at the front or the back of the class. You’ll have an easier time making conversation with people, and are more likely to be paired up with a variety of people for group projects. You might not necessarily make friends on your first day at your new school, and that’s okay. Building friendships takes time, and you need to find the right people as well. As long as you don’t give up, you’ll eventually find people you can call your friends.

TL;DR in English: Make the first move. Join after school activities, such as a club or play. Look for other people who are new to the school. Try to sit in the middle of the classroom. Give it time.

. Once you've got a clear picture of your current expenses (both non-discretionary and discretionary), you'll need to start prioritizing your expenditures. Think about the things that you don't really need, but like to treat yourself on. It's okay to spend occasionally on these personal expenses (in fact, occasionally treating yourself may make you feel more satisfied with your life's situation), but you need to prioritize them and recognize that you may not be able to realistically indulge every week.  If you've gotten used to a certain way of living, it's best to make financial sacrifices gradually so that the transition is easier. For example, if you're used to buying yourself a fancy coffee everyday, cut back over time: drop it to every other day for a week, then twice a week, then once a week.  Bring your own coffee and lunch/snack to work every day instead of ordering out. Just bringing a thermos of coffee and a bagel every day can save you approximately $25 each week, or about $100 every month!  Get a water filter and carry a water bottle with you instead of buying bottled water. This can save you quite a bit of money, depending on how often you buy bottled water. Remember that cutting back doesn't necessarily mean depriving yourself of things you love for the rest of your life. Instead of a daily indulgence, try making it a weekly indulgence; if you had a big weekly splurge, try making it a once a month (or every other month) splurge. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that you can spend more on your indulgences because you enjoy them less often. It's important to stick to your monthly budget and only spend the amount you've set aside for those occasional splurges. If you go into a store without any plan, there's a good chance you'll overspend, no matter what you're shopping for. Seeing in the store that something is on sale, or simply prominently displayed, shouldn't justify throwing your budget out the window.  Always make a shopping list before you leave home, no matter what you're shopping for...

TL;DR in English: Cut back on unnecessary spending Learn to be a self-controlled shopper. Get the best deals. Look for used items when possible.

Before you start organizing, you should check what items you already have and what condition they are in. It’s likely you still have pens, markers, highlighters, and folders from your previous school year. You may even have extra loose leaf paper that you can reuse for the coming year.  You should also take this time to clean your backpack. You can either vacuum it out or simply turn it upside down over a trash can and shake it. Make sure you also check the condition of your backpack. If you have any rips or tears, or if your backpack is small, you may want to buy a new one. For example, sort textbooks, binders, notebooks, writing utensils, miscellaneous items, and trash into different piles. Then go through the piles and throw out what you don't need. You can get rid of any used notebook paper, stubs of pencils, empty pens, broken pencils, broken hairbands, or any other useless items you find. This is also a good time to start a list of the items you have and of those that you still need. This will make shopping easier later, as you won't have to try and remember what to buy. If you have binders or folders, try organizing them with tabs and dividers. You can sort them by subject, chapter, or function. For example, label each folder with the new year’s classes, like Science, Social Studies, or English. You can also put all your pens, pencils, and highlighters into a pen case or bag. This way, you aren’t buying new items you don’t need.

TL;DR in English: Empty out your entire backpack. Sort your items into different piles and go through them. Organize what’s left.

There are generally three methods of passing the baton: the upsweep, the down sweep, and the push pass. Try all three and see which your teammates prefer:  Upsweep: the outgoing runner runs with their hand behind them at hip level, palm down and thumb outstretched to form a V shape. The incoming runner inserts the baton upward between the thumb and fingers. Downsweep: similar to the upsweep, but the outgoing runner's hand is palm up and receives the baton in a downward motion. Push pass: the outgoing runner holds their arm high up behind them, with the palm sideways and the thumb pointing down. The incoming runner holds the baton vertically and pushes it into the palm. When all goes well, the relay race is a smooth series of transfers, with no awkward jerks across the lane or switching from an athlete's left hand to the right. Practice this pattern until all four runners find it automatic:  First runner holds baton in right hand and runs on the inside edge of the lane. Second runner holds baton in left hand and stays on the outside. Third runner holds baton in right hand and stays on the inside. Fourth runner holds baton in left hand and receives on the outside. Each baton handoff must occur inside a 20-meter changeover zone, between two yellow marks. The outgoing runner can start running up to 10 meters ahead of the changeover zone, but can only receive the baton within the zone. Use tactics as well as trial and error to find an exchange position that maximizes speed and smooth handoffs:  Ideally, you can exchange the baton about 5 meters from the end of the zone. This gives the outgoing runner more time to accelerate before receiving.  If the athletes have trouble with a quick handoff, or if they get nervous and slow down while waiting, exchange the baton just past the middle of the zone.  If one athlete is significantly faster than the others, they can receive earlier in the zone, carrying the baton for more than 100 meters. A huge mistake in relay racing is to slow down before you release the baton. The...

TL;DR in English:


Wear one plaid piece of clothing at a time. When in doubt, pair your plaid with neutral solids. Match one color in the plaid with other colored clothes you wear. Pick an appropriate color for the occasion. Pick a comfortable fabric for the season. Pick a print pattern and size that compliments your outfit. Don't forget plaid accessories.

Traditional top hat material is no longer manufactured, but there are several modern day alternatives you can choose from. When looking for a material to use, gravitate toward fabrics that are fairly stiff and heavy. Light, floppy material will produce a floppy hat.  Craft felt is one of the most popular options you can use. It is easy to find, affordable, easy to work with, and comes in a range of colors. Polar fleece and tightly-woven wool are other possible options. Fosshape, buckram, and plastic canvas can be a little harder to find and a little more expensive, but they also tend to be a little stiffer and may produce a more pleasing result when all is said and done. If you cannot find these materials in the color you want, you can paint or dye them that color. You will need to cut out two round circles of equal proportions. The longest diameter of these circles should be about 15 inches (38 cm). The brim pieces will be stacked and sewn together to create a double layer. This is done so that the brim has more structure and support. If you only use one piece of material for the brim, it may lack the structure it needs to be convincing. The flue is the tall, chimney-like portion of the top hat that creates the signature look of the style. You will need to cut out two rectangular flue pieces of equal proportions. The length should be 6 1/2 inches (16.5 cm) and the width should be 24 inches (61 cm).  Like the brim, the “flue” will also consist of a double layer of fabric for the purpose of providing adequate support. Without this double layer, the top hat is likely to sink or fold over on itself once you place it on your head. If you would like to create a more playful version of the top hat, you can also cut out separate bands in alternating colors to form the flue. Stitch the bands together lengthwise so that they form a single flue piece with a height of 6 1/2 inches (16.5 cm). You only need to cut out one piece of material for the top of the hat. Cut a circle that is 8 inches (20.3 cm) in diameter. Unlike...

TL;DR in English: Choose your material. Cut the brim pieces. Cut the "flue" pieces. Cut the top piece.

Make sure that there's no car behind you before you try to parallel park. If there is a car behind you, wait for it to pass or pull into a driveway or side-street ahead, and then approach the spot again. This will let other cars know that you're parking. Shift your transmission down so that you approach the spot at no more than 2–3 mph (3.2–4.8 km/h). If you're driving an automatic car, just lightly press the brake, and if you're driving a manual car, shift down to a lower gear and lightly press the brake. It should be at least a foot apart from the car. If it's too close, then you may hit the car when you start moving backward.  Continue to check your mirrors and blind spots to make sure that the coast is still clear.  Turn around before you begin to move backwards.  If you're driving an automatic car, that's all you need to do. If you're driving a manual car, then you should slowly let go of the clutch as you press the gas. If you're parking on a hill, then you can keep pressing the clutch and just slowly move your foot off the brake.  Continue to back up until you're fully in the space. You may not get it on your first try. You can move back and steer your wheel away from the curb, then move forward again while steering your wheel toward the curb, and repeat this process until you've got it right. Shift it into first gear if you're driving a manual car, and shift the car into Park if you're driving Pull forward until you're evenly positioned between the car in front of you and the car behind you. Keep your foot on the brake as you turn your wheels in the right direction. If you're pulling into a flat spot, just straighten your wheels. If you've parked uphill, you can turn your wheels away from the curb, and if you've parked downhill, you can turn your wheels toward the curb. This will keep your car from rolling away if your brakes are disengaged. Pull forward until you're evenly positioned between the car in front of you and the car behind you.

TL;DR in English: Check your rear-view mirrors. Turn on your signal. Slow down your car. Pull your car so that it's parallel with the car in front of the open space. Shift into Reverse (R). Back up. Turn your wheel toward the curb. Lightly press the gas. Move the car backward until it's halfway in the parking space. Steer your wheel away from the curb. Park the car. Turn your wheels in the right direction. Shift into first gear. Pull up your parking brake.

No, don’t literally put them in handcuffs! Immerse them in your work.  Suck them into the writing so that they will read and read and never want to escape, so that they will want you to handcuff them to your next book.  To do this, here are some techniques you can use:  The senses.  We perceive and experience the world through our senses.  An immersive and convincing work will often have readers seeing, touching, tasting, hearing, and smelling. Concrete details.  These types of details provide a specific sense of understanding of what is going on in the writing.  Rather than generalizing an image—“she was pretty”—get specific: “She had long, golden braids, which were interwoven with daisies.” If you are more familiar with something, you can write about it in more detail, realism, and depth.  If you don’t know a detail that is important for your project, do research. Google it. Ask someone who knows.  The more information you know about a situation, a person, or setting, the more you will be able to render it realistically on the page. . Sometimes, the best way to write a story is “Linear Structure”: Beginning, Climax, and Resolution.  However, there are many, many other ways to write a story. Consider “In Media Res”—when the story begins in the thick of things.  Or, a story interspersed by multiple flashbacks.  Choose your structure depending on your story’s progression. In total, there are 9 different points of view.  The 3 main categories are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Person. When deciding point of view, think about what information you want your readers to have access to.  1st POV: uses "I"  involved – narrator is an active player and teller of the story detached – narrator is not telling their own story specifically, but maybe the story of a central character Plural (we) – a collective narrator, maybe a large group of people   2nd POV: uses "You"  inverted, the narrator is referring to him or herself as the writer, and perhaps dissociating themselves from distasteful thoughts/traits/memories You = a character,...

While hiding your icons on a Mac isn't as straightforward as on Windows, it can still be done. The easiest thing you can do is turn off all of your system icons, such as your hard drives, inserted discs, and servers. This will prevent them from appearing on the desktop.  Click Finder and select Preferences. You may need to open a Finder window for the Finder menu to appear. Click the General tab. Uncheck the boxes for the icons you want to hide. You can hide all of the icons on your desktop by using Terminal commands. Click Go and select Utilities. Double-click "Terminal". Enter the following command to hide all of the icons on the desktop:  defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop false; killall Finder If you want to show the icons again, enter the following command:  defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop true; killall Finder If you find yourself hiding your icons often, you can create an Automator script that will allow you to hide the icons in a few clicks. Open Automator from the Applications folder and choose the "Service" template. Set the right drop-down menu to "Finder" and the left drop-down menu to "no input". Search for and drag the "Run AppleScript" action to the main workflow. Paste the code below into the "Run AppleScript" field, replacing anything there already:  try set toggle to do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder CreateDesktop" if toggle = "true" then do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop false" else if toggle = "false" then  do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop true" end if end try  do shell script "killall Finder" delay 0.5 activate application "Finder"    Save the new service as an easy-to-remember name, such as "Hide/Show Desktop" You can access your new script by clicking Finder → Services  You will need to have run the Terminal commands from the previous steps at least once for the script to work. If you'd rather not fuss with scripts, you can download a program that will let you toggle your desktop on and off....

TL;DR in English: Hide system icons. Hide the rest of your icons using the Terminal. Turn off the desktop. Turn the icons back on. Make an Automator script. Download an icon-hiding program.

Plaid comes in many different colors and styles. However, its crisscrossing lines mean it's almost always fairly attention-grabbing. This means pairing multiple pieces of plaid clothing with each other can be overwhelming or "busy" to look at. There's one exception to this rule. If you have one plaid accessory (like a scarf, purse, hat, pair of shades, etc.) that's designed to match your main plaid piece, you can usually get away with wearing both together. This is a great "go-to" style choice when you're trying to add plaid to your wardrobe. Solid colors offer simple contrast to the complicated interwoven patterns of plaid. On top of this, neutral tones are versatile in terms of which plaid patterns they can pair with. Not every plaid shirt will pair with bright yellow chinos, for instance, but most will pair with a simple pair of jeans or khakis quite nicely.  Neutral colors include: White, black, khaki, muted blue denim, grey, and most browns and beiges. You don't always have to wear plaid with neutral tones. However, if you want to wear plaid with colored clothes, try to pick a plaid piece with one color that is close to the other color in your outfit. For example, if you're wearing a set of bright blue jeans, you might wear a plaid shirt that includes a few stripes that are a similar shade of blue. The colors don't have to match exactly — light blue can go with dark blue and so on. Today, clothing sellers offer plaid garments in a huge variety of colors and shades. This means that you have lots of freedom when it comes to assembling your outfit. As long as you're following the color-matching rules above, there aren't any strict rules here, but a few general suggestions are below.   Brighter, more flowery shades tend to be best for casual events and warmer months.  Darker, more muted shades tend to be more formal and more appropriate for colder weather. For example, you would probably not wear pink plaid to a job interview, but navy blue plaid might work well.  Intricately-stitched patterns can give an...

Drawing attention to your upper body is key to dressing for a larger butt. You’ll also want to find tops that add weight or curves to your shoulders and chest. In doing both, you’ll distract from your behind while also using your clothes to add proportion for a more balanced figure.  Go for bold colors and patterns. Don’t over-do it to the point of being garish, but look for eye-catching colors and provocative patterns to keep all eyes up top. Look for horizontal necklines. They draw the eye while also slimming the waist. Try bell sleeves. They widen your shoulder line to make a clean line with your larger backside, balancing your silhouette. Stock up on necklaces and scarves. These are two of the most valuable accessories you have for dealing with a bigger behind. Necklaces (especially larger ones) will keep eyes on your top and neckline while scarves add width to your shoulders. If you’re chosen method of dealing with your behind is to reduce its presence, look for dark colors (especially in pants). Have tops (including jackets and sweaters) that reach low on your body, just after where your butt begins. The eye is drawn to where the garment ends, so they gloss over your butt entirely.   The A-line dress is praised for its ability to hide any behind. Find more than a couple that you like; if you can make them a part of your style, the A-line dress will be your best fashion friend. Buy slimming shapewear/underwear. These will slim your waist, butt, and thighs for an overall slighter look. Vertical features such as zippers and pleats make the waist and backside appear slimmer. Look for tops with these qualities. Look for large back pockets, low waistbands and wide legs. The pockets serve as a diversion for the eyes, the waistband will have your butt appear smaller, and flared legs help to even out your silhouette. If your intention is to draw attention away from your hips, avoid skinny jeans which taper at the ankle.  Find high-waisted shorts or pants for a classic look. The high-waist connects your butt to...

TL;DR in English: Balance top with bottom. Disguise your butt. Be particular about pants. Buy the right skirts.

twice a day. Even if you're in a hurry, brushing your teeth will remove bits of food, bacteria, and stains that can cause problems if left to fester. Try brushing once in the morning and once before you go to bed, and spend at least two minutes each time you brush. It will keep you fresh the whole day.  If you are constantly on the go, have a travel toothbrush in you purse or briefcase so you can pop into the bathroom at work. Spend equal time brushing the front, back, and tops of your teeth, especially the molars. Your dentist is not lying when he says this is one of the most overlooked hygiene regiments in America. Regular flossing cleans the parts of your teeth a brush can't reach and stimulates healthy gum growth.  Using a short piece of floss, get in between your teeth and along the gum line, using your fingers to add pressure. Take to your orthodontist about ways to floss if you have braces, such as dental threads. Be sure to clean in between your back teeth too, using the floss around all sides of the molars. Mouthwash does not physically remove plaque and food and is not a substitute for flossing. While going to the dentist every six months is not strictly necessary for healthy adults, children and those with dental issues should talk to their dentists about frequent checkups. Monitor your teeth, note any changes or worrisome pains, and get your teeth professionally cleaned at a minimum of once a year.  Smokers, diabetics, and people with a history of cavities should see the dentist twice a year or more.

TL;DR in English: Brush your teeth Floss at least once a day. Schedule regular visits to the dentist.

Use a silver tarp for the best protection against both sun and rain. Use a blue tarp if you can’t find a silver tarp.  Grommets are small metal rings in each corner of the tarp that will allow you to attach tent poles to create the canopy. You can find high-quality tarps at most home centers or outdoor supply stores. Clear away any debris from the area where you will set up the canopy. Stretch out the tarp flat on the ground in roughly the position that you want to set it up. It’s important to clear the area so that the tarp will lay flat on the ground, and so that there is nothing underfoot to trip on while you set up your canopy. Place 1 7 ft (2.1 m) tent pole in each corner with the tips in the grommets. Use 10 ft (3.0 m) of 0.25 in (6 mm) nylon rope to secure the poles in place by threading 1 end through each grommet and around the tip of each tent pole, then tying it in a tight knot.  Leave all the excess rope that is not tied around the grommets and tent poles. You will use it to secure the canopy to the ground by tying it to tent stakes. Stainless steel tent poles are the best poles to use for your canopy because they are sturdy and they don’t rust, but you can use bamboo or wooden poles instead. You can get the tent poles and nylon rope at outdoor and camping supply stores. Enlist the help of 4 people and have each person stand in a corner and grab a tent pole. Have everyone slowly lift up the canopy and stretch it out so the tarp is taut, then stick the poles in the ground as securely as possible.  Keep everyone standing in the corners and holding onto the poles while you finish securing the canopy. If you don’t have anyone to help you, you can do it yourself 1 pole at a time. Just make sure to really push the poles firmly into the ground so they don’t fall over while you stretch out the canopy. Grab each rope 1 at a times and stretch them out straight away from the corners as far as you can. Hammer a tent stake into the ground in each place where the ends of the ropes reach and tie the ropes to...

TL;DR in English: Buy a high-quality tarp with grommets, big enough to cover the desired area. Clear the area for the canopy and lay out the tarp on the ground. Attach a tent pole to each corner of the tarp with nylon rope. Lift up the tarp with the help of 4 people and stick the poles into the ground. Stretch out the ropes from each corner and secure them with tent stakes. Put 1 longer tent pole in the middle of the canopy and stick it in the ground.

Measure 2 cups (470 ml) brown basmati rice, and pour it into a medium-sized bowl of cold tap water. Use your hand to swish the rice around until the water becomes cloudy-looking and foam appears on the edges.  While rinsing it can wash away some of the rice's nutrients, brown basmati rice is typically imported and may be processed with talc, powdered glucose and rice powder. Rice connoisseurs, therefore, recommend rinsing it. Doing so will also get rid of some of the starch, which will help make your rice less gluey. Pour out the water through a mesh strainer or by tilting the bowl to the side. You can hold a plate over the bowl to keep the rice from spilling out as you drain the water. Add more cool tap water and repeat this process until the water is clear. This could require up to 10 rounds of washing the rice.  Add 2.5 cups (590 ml) cold water to the drained and rinsed rice and let it soak between 30 minutes to 24 hours depending upon the method of cooking and how long you want to cook it. The longer you allow it to soak, the less time it will take to cook.  Additionally, basmati rice is known for its rich flavor, which can be lost during the heating process. Soaking it reduces cooking time, thus preserving more of its flavor.  Soaking rice also improves its texture, making it softer and lighter. Use a mesh strainer to drain the water that has not been absorbed by the rice. You can also use a colander, but the holes must be very small so the rice doesn't escape when you strain it.

TL;DR in English:
