While this heats up, mince the garlic and chop up onions and mushrooms, if desired. The garlic should be slightly golden. Add the mushrooms and onions as well, along with an extra 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Stir everything well with a whisk or wooden spoon. Raise the heat and quickly bring the sauce to a boil so that many bubbles are reaching the surface and popping. Do not let the sauce keep boiling -- you only need it to reach this temperature quickly. Stir the flour in quickly after lowering the heat. The sauce should be simmering, with a few bubbles breaking on the surface. You can simmer the sauce for as long as you want before serving. The longer you leave it on, the thicker and richer it will be. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add hot broth to thin it out without sacrificing flavor. White wine sauce pairs well with chicken and shellfish in particular. Some recipes to try include:  Shrimp, cracked red or cayenne pepper, sauteed onions and bell pepper Chicken, broccoli, and peas Chicken, mushrooms and onions. Sauteed carrots, onions, and zucchini, lemon, cracked black pepper.

TL;DR in English: Heat up the oil or butter in a saucepan on medium heat. Cook the garlic in the hot oil for 1-2 minutes. Add the white wine, whipping cream, salt, pepper, and seasoning. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and whisk in the flour. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened. Use the sauce over pasta dishes.

Hygiene plays a key role in maintaining skin integrity. Soap, although important in hygiene, can cause irritation and may not help in removing any of the dead skin caused by dryness. Instead, rinse your feet thoroughly with warm water every time you bathe in order to promote moisture. Warm water (40 to 34°C) promotes circulation and both comforts and refreshes your feet. Always wash the bottoms of your feet well and between your toes. You should use a washcloth to get between your toes or use a long handled sponge on your feet if you prefer not to have to bend down in the shower. Make sure you dry well between your toes with a towel as this will prevent the develop of infection, and reduce any odors or bacteria on your feet. Tight, uncomfortable shoes can cause painful foot growths and distort your toe shape. They can also irritate your feet and lead to blisters and cracked skin. Try to wear comfortable shoes that fit well on a daily basis, especially if you are always on your feet throughout the day.  If you wear high heels, look for heels that are wide, stable, and no higher than two inches. Make sure there is enough room in your heels for your toes, as your shoes should not narrow until well past the balls of your feet. You should also alternate your heels heights regularly to prevent your Achilles tendon from shortening. Avoid wearing flip flops and completely flat shoes, as they do not provide arch support. You should also avoid walking around barefoot to avoid developing flat feet. Minimize the amount of time you wear shoes with no arch support to keep your feet healthy and strong. Try to alternate your shoes so you do not wear the same pair every day, even if you have two pairs of the same style. This will prevent shoe odor, and foot infections. You should also change your socks every day so you wear a fresh pair. This will prevent foot irritation and infections, which could trigger dry and cracked skin. Promoting hydration is one of the best ways to keep any part of your skin healthy, including the...

TL;DR in English: Wash your feet every day. Dry your feet well after a shower or bath. Wear comfortable shoes that don’t restrict or rub your feet. Alternate your shoes and change your socks every day. Drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Be cautious when getting a professional pedicure in a nail salon.

Bad bacteria feed off of refined sugar in your gut. Before buying a product, check its nutrition label. Products that are high in sugar contain more than 22.5 grams (0.8 oz) of sugar per 100 grams. Additionally, try to cut back on the amount of sugar you put in your tea and coffee. Foods high in sugar include cake, candy, chocolate, fruit juice, soda, alcohol, sweetened tea and coffee, honey, and syrup. Like sugar, saturated fat nourishes the bad bacteria in your gut. It will be much harder to restore your gut flora if you are eating foods that are high in saturated fat. Products that are high in saturated fat contain more than 5 grams (0.18 oz) of saturated fat per 100 grams (3.5 oz). Foods that are high in saturated fat include fatty meats, butter, ice cream, cake, pies, and pastries. Processed foods tend to have high amounts of sugar, fat, and salt, which bad bacteria feed off of. By reducing your consumption of these foods, you can help restore the good flora in your gut. Make your own meals and eat fresh fruits and vegetables instead of consuming processed foods. Processed foods include fast food, canned fruits and vegetables, and pre-packaged foods.

TL;DR in English: Limit foods that are high in refined sugar. Cut back on foods that are high in saturated fat. Reduce your consumption of processed foods.

If you have trouble paying attention and staying on task, changing your attitude can help a lot. Instead of rolling your eyes and groaning every time you have to learn history, work on your handwriting, or do math problems, try to use your imagination to make the tasks cooler and more fun. It might sound stupid, but pretending your schoolwork is fun can actually make it fun.  Don’t “do your math,” pretend to be a rocket scientist learning to plot the paths of rockets, or an astronaut trying to plot your course home from the planet Zebulon 4. Pretend that you're Albert Einstein, cracking the secrets of nuclear energy. Don't "practice handwriting," pretend that you're translating secret messages from a mysterious government agency, or that you're learning to speak Klingon. Don't "do your reading," imagine that you're a famous author preparing to give a lecture in front of a crowd of adoring fans, or that you're a supercomputer uploading information into its positronic net. One great way to keep yourself focused on the class topics and the lesson is to take notes. Even if you'll be provided with a review, or you don't eventually need the information for the test, if you struggle to pay attention, focus on writing down the important things the teacher says. Don't worry about writing it word for word, just try to come up with a list or an outline of the important things that happen in class. This will help you stay focused and you'll have something to refer to later.  Taking notes can also help you improve your handwriting, which can help your grades improve and your relationship with your teacher a lot better. No one wants to read chicken-scratches. Don't worry about listening to the whole lesson at once, just focus on catching the next important thing the teacher says. Go one step at a time. You can't stay focused if you don't have all the necessary supplies ready, and you're in your seat on time. There's nothing worse for your classroom reputation than forgetting your math textbook, or having to ask for a...

TL;DR in English: Use your imagination and decide to like the topics. Take notes. Be prepared for class. Get involved in the class discussions. Motivate yourself to improve your grades.

Your firewall is an option which helps protect your passwords and computer security.  You can think of it the same way you think of a lock on your door.  If your firewall is down, you open yourself up to hackers who can take or delete information, steal your passwords, and wreak all manner of other havoc.  Do not, therefore, switch the firewall off. Grant access to the firewall only for authorized programs which require it like games or video streaming services. A virtual private network (VPN) essentially acts as a middleman between the web and your computer, and provides an extra layer of encryption to your interactions online.  The VPN server might be located in a different city or even a different country than the one you reside in, and means that tracing your data back to you is almost impossible. For a double-whammy of internet privacy, combine the VPN with your browser’s incognito or privacy mode.  Privacy mode prevents data, cookies, your download record, and other info from being saved on your computer. Wifi hotspots are attractive when you’re out and about but need to hop online for a quick search for directions or other info, but do so with caution.  Spend a minimum amount of time logged on to public wifi.  Be sure what the name of the public wifi hotspot is.  Logging into the wrong one, or one with a similar name meant to deliberately deceive public wifi users, could mean your online communication -- including passwords, emails, and bank info -- is being lifted by a hacker. Keep your home wifi connection encrypted.  Open wifi makes it easy for hackers to access your computer and download illegal files. Purchase a new router every few years.  Some routers have vulnerabilities which never get corrected. Whether it’s your social media, online banking, or email account, you’ll feel frustrated and powerless if you suffer a security breach.  Use long passwords (greater than eight characters) with a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and (if possible) other characters like underscores and...

Wash the hulled nuts in a bucket of water. Dry the nuts in a mesh bag for 5 weeks. Crack the shells with a heavy-duty cracker. Discard any damaged or rotten nuts. Store the nutmeat in your fridge or freezer.

Make sure you completely understand what you are trying to find.  Wordy math problems can sometimes be confusing, so re-read carefully to make sure you were solving the right problem. Also double-check that you understood what the information in the problem meant. For example: “Fred picks 8 apples on Sunday, and 6 apples on Monday. George picks 2 more apples than Fred each day. Charlie picks 5 less apples than George on Sunday, and 1 more apple on Friday. How many apples does George pick?” Here, make sure to solve for the amount of apples George picks, not the amount Charlie picks or the amount all of them pick together. Also, make sure you understand all of the details of the problem. For example, each day, George picks 2 more than Fred’s daily total. He doesn’t pick 2 more than Fred’s 2-day total. Word problems are full of keywords that help you translate the words into math. Highlight these keywords in the problem. Also highlight the numbers. Then, go back to your calculations and double check that the operations and numbers in your calculations match what is presented in the problem.  Some common keywords include “combined” (addition), “decreased” (subtraction), “of” (multiplication), and “per” (division).  For example: “Carlos has 15 books per book shelf. He has 120 books. How many shelves does he have?” The key word “per” should tell you this is a division problem. If you go back to your work and see that you calculated 15×120{\displaystyle 15\times 120}, you know that you did the wrong calculation. Think about the information in the problem and the solution you are trying to find. Decide whether your answer should be bigger than the numbers represented in the problem, or smaller. Think about whether your answer should be a whole number. If your solution has a remainder or a decimal, make sure that it makes sense in the context of the story problem. For example: “Mr. Ripley needs to book buses for the fourth grade field trip. Each bus holds 52 people. He has 30 students. The two other fourth grade...

TL;DR in English: Re-read the problem. Check keywords and numbers against your calculations. Check for reasonableness.

You’ll need a good credit score to qualify for a conventional mortgage—usually around 620. To get the best interest rates, you’ll need a score around 740 or better.  Check your credit score and get copies of your credit report. Go through your credit report to see if there are any errors. For example, someone else’s debts might be listed on your report because they have a similar name or Social Security number. Dispute any wrong information. The best way to improve your credit is to pay down debt. Consider whether you need to delay buying your townhouse until you improve your credit score. You’ll be in a stronger bargaining position if a lender pre-approves you for a mortgage. The process is easy. Gather financial documents, such as your paystubs, bank statements, and tax returns. You can complete an application either online or by visiting the lender.  Work only with lenders who have experience underwriting loans for townhouses. Some lenders don’t know how to classify townhouses and consider them condos. However, the difference between a townhouse and a condo is that a condo has no land attached to it, whereas a townhouse includes the land under and around it as specific in the lot map. A townhouse includes the land in its value, but a condo has no land as part of its value. If you’re approved, you’ll receive an approval letter which is good for only 90 days. Plan your house hunting accordingly. In a hot market, sellers can usually get their asking price (or more) because there are multiple bidders on the same house. However, in a cold market, buyers have more power. Look at how long the townhouse has been on the market. Also check how much comparable homes have sold for. If you have a real estate agent, they can do a Comparative Market Analysis. However, you can also check websites such as Zillow and Trulia yourself to see what similar townhouses have fetched. Bid appropriately, based on the market. If it’s cold, then come in a little under the asking price, e.g., 5% below. If you think the home is wildly...

TL;DR in English: Improve your credit, if necessary. Get pre-approved for a mortgage. Analyze the market. Set an opening bid. Draft a purchase offer. Write a letter of interest. Submit your offer.

The only way to truly control every nutrient and calorie that goes into your body is to cook for yourself. Though every restaurant nowadays tends to have healthier options, you can never be sure what's in that salad dressing or what type of oil they use for their vegetables. You'll be better off cooking for yourself and being able to exercise complete control over every bite you intake. This way you can use healthier oils, like olive oil, less butter, less sugar, less salt (a big culprit when it comes to bloating) and control your portion sizes, too. And what's even better? It stretches your wallet further, too. If this were a permanent lifestyle change, keeping track might just be demotivating. But since this is only for 14 days, it's totally doable. Keeping track can help you see where you're likely to flub up, see where you have a little wiggle room, and help you see all the progress you've made – which is an awesome feeling. It's proof of a job well done. This can be done with an old school pen and paper like with a food diary, or you could get technological and download one of the plethora of weight loss apps available. Many help you count calories, carbs, fats, and protein and take into account exercise, too. It sounds obvious, but one of the most important things you can do to guarantee weight loss success is to commit to your goal. This is especially important for a short-term diet like this. You cannot afford to have an “off” day when you slack on your diet or exercise regimen. Once you decide to go this route, you must be committed to seeing it through. It'll be easier if you tell other people about your plan, or if you have other people to do it with you. They can hold you accountable, you can eat healthy  and exercise together, and you can complain about it together, too. The best way to burn calories is through exercise. If your body is already familiar with moderate physical activity, you might be able to take things up a notch by alternating moderate and vigorous activity throughout your day....

TL;DR in English: Start cooking. Keep track of your eating and exercising. Make a commitment. Get several hours of moderate to vigorous exercise each day. Take little opportunities to exercise, too. Get a full night’s sleep.

Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and quality sleep all contribute to a greater sense of overall wellbeing, increased resilience, and higher self-esteem. Adopt a healthy lifestyle to better cope with current adversity and inoculate yourself against future adversity. Always start new exercise routines gradually to prevent injury and speak with your doctor first. Regularly acknowledging all you have to be grateful for will promote an ongoing positive perspective. A positive attitude will help you tackle future problems and prevent you from feeling overwhelmed. Spend 10-15 minutes a day thinking about what you're grateful for. Having people to turn to in your times of adversity will provide comfort and support. Developing a support system before you are in need will make it easier to engage those resources when the time comes. Pay frequent attention to friends and family to keep those relationships healthy. Schedule regular phone calls and dates to maintain and strengthen connections.

TL;DR in English: Take care of your physical health. Start a gratitude journal. Nourish your support system.

After you remove the hulls, place the nuts, still in their shells, in a bucket of water. This will help rinse away juices, residue, and loose fibers from the hull. Discard any nuts that float to the surface. The good nuts should sink in water. Once you’ve rinsed the nuts, place them in a loosely woven bag, such as an onion bag, to allow airflow. Hang them up in a well-ventilated outdoor area, out of direct sunlight and sheltered from rain. The nuts should be dry in about 5 weeks.  Alternatively, you can spread the nuts out in a thin layer on the ground to dry. However, you’ll need to keep them someplace where they’ll be protected from animals and the elements, such as a screened-in porch. You can tell when the nuts are dry enough by shaking the shells. You should hear the nutmeat rattling inside. Black walnut shells are very difficult to crack. Once the nuts are dry, you can open them using a heavy-duty pressure cracker, which is a type of nutcracker that works similarly to a vise. You may also be able to crack the nuts with a hammer, a heavy board, or a vise grip. After you crack the nut, pick out the meat with a nutpick.  You probably won’t be able to crack black walnuts with a regular hand-held nutcracker. To crack multiple nuts at once, place up to 100 of them in a burlap bag and hit the bag with a mallet several times to crack the shells. You’ll need to separate the nut fragments from the cracked shells by hand. If you don’t want to crack the nuts right away, put them in a bag and store them at 32–40 °F (0–4 °C). As you crack the nuts, examine the shells and nutmeat carefully. Throw away any nuts with shells that are already cracked or damaged, since they may be infected with mold or microorganisms. Discard any nutmeat that is black, bright yellow, or streaked with blue, since these are signs of infection. Healthy black walnut kernels should range from light to dark brown on the outside, and off-white or cream colored on the inside. After you get the nuts out of the shells, let the meat dry for 1-2 days,...

At the top of a sheet of paper or Microsoft Word document, write down what you want to achieve during the brainstorming session. This will help focus your ideas. You may even want to list a few different objectives. Your goals may be very vague such as “find a new career” or “write a short story.” They may also be very specific, such as “increase profits by 10%” or “start a flower garden in my backyard.” Think of your central idea or problem. Write down a few words that you immediately associate with those ideas. Look over these new words and write down any words that you think are related. As the words pop into your head, write them down, no matter how silly or strange they might seem.  For example, if you are writing a paper for English class, you can write down the names of the novels you read in class. When you think of Jane Eyre, you may write down mystery, romance, madwoman, or governess. The word governess might make you think of strong female character, working women, or education. Continue writing down associated words until you have a strong concept in mind. If you don't have a central idea yet, you can just write down a random word. Put down whatever comes into your head first. This is effective for creative activities. Sit down for fifteen minutes, and write down whatever comes across your mind. Do not let your pen leave the page until the fifteen minutes are up. This will help you start processing ideas. While you might begin with no good thoughts, you may find you have stumbled upon some new ideas by the time your fifteen minutes are up.  A good way to start is to state your goal, and write "I want..." statements after it. For example, "I want to give a talk on effective brainstorming. I want this talk to be twenty minutes. I want to discuss in this talk how to freewrite." As ideas come to you, you may start writing naturally. Even if you are thinking “I have nothing to write about,” jot it down. The goal is to start writing. Through the process of writing, you will think of new ideas. Create a...

TL;DR in English: Write down your goals and problems. Do word association. Freewrite. Draft a list. Doodle pictures.

If you are from the United States and traveling in the United Kingdom, bring along an unlocked phone that allows SIM cards to be inputted from other providers. A SIM card is a small information chip that you can purchase from a mobile provider while abroad.  Ensure that the cell phone you want to bring to the UK is a GSM phone (global cellular technology used by most of the world) and it’s unlocked, meaning that it doesn't have a restriction on being used with other providers. AT&T and T-Mobile carry GSM phones which are typically unlocked.  Look for a UK mobile provider that carries a SIM card that will fit in your phone. Most mobile phones have a standard SIM card size, but iPhones and other newer smartphones use special micro or nano SIM card sizes.  You can set up an international calling plan through your current U.S. phone carrier, but note that these plans are typically very expensive. Whether you choose an international call plan or the SIM card route, make sure to call your U.S. provider to change or suspend your service and ask any questions you may have before traveling to the UK. Choose to buy a mobile phone in the UK if you can’t or don’t want to bring your own from the U.S., as it is frequently simpler and cheaper. Buy an inexpensive phone for a short stay in the UK, and purchase a pay-as-you-go SIM card plan to make international calls.  Check the pricing on the plan to make sure you know what the rates are for international calls. Check the data usage rates on a smartphone if you plan to use it for internet calling apps. Most pay-as-you-go SIM card plans for mobile phones in the UK come with a small amount of prepaid minutes for calls, and then you can “top up” with more minutes over the phone or at a kiosk for the network provider. The major mobile phone networks in the UK are Vodafone, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile, O2, and Orange. Shops like Car Phone Warehouse and Phones4U sell inexpensive phones from several different networks. Call the U.S. from a UK landline phone if you wish. Check with the...

Choose a slightly soft lemon that will yield plenty of juice. Make a cut across the short side of the lemon. Once your lemon is cut in half, remove all the visible seeds from its surface by scraping them out with a knife. You’ll probably need at least 2-4 teaspoons (11.4-22.8 g) of table salt to completely cover the lemon. The salt will act as a natural sponge when you apply it to your brass. Rub down the entirety of your brass item with the lemon and salt, squeezing out lemon juice as you go. Check on the salt layer, and replace it when necessary. Use a damp sponge or cloth to wipe away the lemon juice and salt mixture. Be sure to thoroughly clean the brass, as any leftover lemon residue will become sticky and hard if it dries. Use a soft, dry cloth to buff your brass by gently wiping the surface in small circular motions. Your brass should now be shiny and gold in appearance. It’s a great idea to protect your brass with a layer of oil. Pour 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of olive oil onto a soft, dry cloth and rub the oil onto the brass. Move in small circles to coat the entire piece. If you prefer, there are also a variety of commercial wax options for your brass. The application process will also require a soft cloth, and you can buff the surface using the same small circular motions you would use with the oil. Some of these substances may require you to wear protective gloves.

TL;DR in English: Cut a lemon in half and remove the lemon seeds. Coat the surface of the cut lemon with table salt. Scour the brass with the lemon and salt. Sponge off the mixture. Buff your brass with a soft cloth. Wax your brass with olive oil.

TV's are sold more and more like cars, with gifted salespeople or advertisements attempting to up-sell you with fancy features and a load of techno-jumbled words. The best way to prevent spending more than you want is to come up with your maximum price before you enter the store or head online. When possible, be upfront about it -- tell the salesperson you will absolutely pay no more than this number, preventing them from showing you certain items. Basic pricing estimates, as of 2016, are:   32-inch: $150 to $500  39- to 43-inch: $250 to $1,100  46-to-52-inch: $380 to $1,600  55- to 59-inch: $450 to $2,500  65-inch: $700 to $5,000 TVs are expensive investments, and should last you many years when bought correctly. Waiting a month or two for enormous Christmas and Black Friday sales can be worth it, helping you get potentially better TV for your budget than you expected.  November is overwhelmingly the best time to get a cheap TV. Prices are always lowest on and before Black Friday, and you can usually buy them online.  March, after the companies have debuted their new sets at the beginning of the year, is the next best chance at a cheap TV before the new models hit store. The slimmer TVs get, the worse they sound. Speakers need physical room to work, so ultra-thin sets often sound tinny. A basic sound bar is often your best bet if you don't already have a stereo system, and they are generally under $100. Still, remember to consider the sound when buying a TV -- it is worth accounting for when pricing. There are some features that will matter -- if you want a Smart TV, built in DVR, etc. -- but at the end of the day the picture size is the most important consideration. If you want a TV that will last and satisfyingly display everything from sports to video games, then bigger is better. Do not, however, just buy a big TV without accounting for the room size. Remember -- you want to sit roughly 1.5 to 2 times the size of the TV away for comfort, so a 60" TV should have at least 90" to 120" of space in front of...

TL;DR in English: Set your budget before you go shopping. Shop during November or March for the best prices on new TVs. Remember to save money for the sound system, which most TVs ignore. Spend your money on size, not fancy buzzwords and features. Never buy a TV purely based on its performance in a showroom. Read reviews before making any purchases.

A bit of a no-brainer, perhaps, but once you're past those first six weeks, simply remove your earrings when the situation calls for it. Bodies can close their piercing sites at unpredictable rates, but it's highly unlikely for them to close over a day or weekend.  Most piercings will close without anything in them, taking anywhere from a few days to several weeks.   A thin membrane may grow over the hole, without the hole actually closing; jewelry can typically be pushed back through this with minimal pain. Try lubricating the area with antibiotic ointment if you encounter any difficulty.  Reopening the closed piercing is also possible, if the earrings must remain out of your ears for extended periods of time. Cartilage piercings, as opposed to lobe piercings, can remain without jewelry for a much longer time without closing. As was mentioned in part one, though, the healing process for these is also much longer compared to lobe piercings. Clear, quartz jewelry can be worn to keep the earring tunnel open with discrete results.  While far from invisible, clear jewelry requires fairly close inspection to detect.  Clear acrylic is less recommended for its quality issues, but it’s also a viable option. Clear jewelry is not recommended for your very first earrings; your first earring should be 14-carat gold or stainless steel, as these are less likely to cause infection or swelling.  Other metals can also induce allergic reactions. Small, flesh-colored posts work similarly to clear ones, but may be even less noticeable. Stretched ears in particular—while difficult to hide—will have more success with flesh-colored plugs. These can be found in a variety of materials, including acrylic and various silicones. If you’d like it to be secret that you have your ears pierced at all, remove your earrings and apply a small dab of concealer or foundation to the hole. Make sure to choose the right shade for your skin tone. If you wish to draw less attention to a second piercing, for example, try choosing a much bigger stud,...

Occasionally, the balls on tongue piercing bars can become unscrewed or loose over time. It is important that you regularly check to make sure they are tight. Use one hand to hold the bottom ball in place and use the other hand to tighten the top ball. Note: To tighten the balls, remember twisting to the right tightens and twisting to the left loosens. Know that the original jewelry should be replaced with shorter jewelry after the swelling has reduced. See your piercer for this change, because it usually will be during the healing period. Once the initial healing process is over, you can pick any of the many styles of jewelry for your tongue piercing. Just keep in mind if you have metal allergies or sensitivities to certain materials.

TL;DR in English: Check the balls regularly. Change the jewelry after the initial swelling dissipates. Choose the right style for you.

Physical activity can help increase positive mood (by releasing endorphins) and prevent mood diagnoses such as anxiety and depressive disorders. Focus on exercising at least every other day for at least 30 minutes. Or, when you feel a mood swing coming on get out and do something physical.   Traditional exercises such as walking, running, and lifting weights are useful in creating a physical activity schedule. You can even do exercises at home. Try sweeping, vacuuming or other types of cleaning. Or, put on a YouTube exercise video for free! Exercise doesn’t have to be boring. Try fun physical activities like: hiking, canoeing, fishing, kayaking, gardening, jumping rope, dancing, bowling, shooting pool, kickboxing, doing yoga, and playing sports. Sleep duration and quality have effects on your mood and overall health. Get less sleep and you might become more anxious or agitated, which can be a trigger to a mood swing.   Sleep at least 8 hours per night. Set a bedtime and wake-time and stick to them even on weekends. Stop watching television and using your phone at least 30 minutes before bedtime. What goes in your body dictates how you will feel physically. Having a healthy diet can produce stability in both body and mind. Make sure you get enough vitamins and minerals in your diet.  Ditch the junk food. It doesn’t help to cope by overeating or eating unhealthy foods. Don't constantly miss meals. Eat at least 3 solid meals per day. Plan ahead so that you aren’t in a situation where you are left without any food during lunchtime. Have snacks with you so that you avoid feeling cranky due to hunger. When you start to experience a drop in energy or start to feel moody, eat a snack. Some good options are: yogurt, fruits, nuts (as long as you aren’t allergic), cheese, protein bars, granola bars, and vegetables. Avoid coffee and soda if you can. Soda and coffee will raise your blood sugar levels rapidly however shortly after these levels drop very low thus effecting your mood swings again. If you drink 4 cups of...

Newborns need to get lots of rest to continue growing healthy and strong -- some can rest up to 16 hours a day. Though once your baby is three months or so old, he may be able to sleep for 6-8 hours at a time, in the beginning, your baby may only sleep for 2-3 hours at a time and should be woken up if he or she hasn't been fed for 4 hours.  Some babies have their days and nights confused when they are born. If your baby is more alert at night, try to limit nighttime stimulation by keeping the lights dim and your talking low, and be patient until your baby begins a normal sleeping cycle. Make sure you place your baby on his back to lower the risk of SIDS. You should alternate the position of your baby's head -- whether it's leaning to the left or the right -- to eliminate the "soft spot" that can appear on a baby's face if he spends too much time sleeping with his head in one position. If you want to breastfeed your baby, then feeding your baby the first time you hold her after she is delivered is a great place to start. You should turn your baby's body toward you, so you are holding her chest toward yours. Touch her upper lip with your nipple and pull her to your breast when she opens her mouth wide. Once she does this, her mouth should cover your nipple and as much of the areola as possible. Here are some things you should know about breastfeeding your baby:  If the baby is getting enough food, it will produce 6-8 wet diapers a day, along with steady bowel movements, be alert when it's awake, and will steadily gain weight. Don't stress if your baby has a hard time feeding at first; it takes patience and practice. You can get help from a nurse or even a lactation consultant (who can be helpful before birth). Know that nursing shouldn't hurt. If the latch-on hurts, break the suction by placing your pinkie finger between your baby's gums and your breast and repeat the process. You should nurse about 8-12 times during the first 24 hours of baby's birth. You don't have to stick to a strict schedule, but should...

If you don't have liners, grease the cups using vegetable oil or butter to keep the cupcakes from sticking. Test to see whether the cupcakes are done by inserting a toothpick into the center of a cupcake. If it comes out clean, they're ready. If it's still wet, bake the cupcakes for another five minutes. Place them on a wire rack or on the counter to cool completely. If you frost them too quickly, the icing will melt off.

When you see a tic develop in your child, don't assume the worst — that it will become a severe case of TS lasting the rest of their life. Instead, be patient and supportive, while trying to create a less stressful environment for your child, either at home or at school. In the vast majority of cases, childhood tics vanish almost as quickly as they come on, within a few months. If your child has a tic for more than a year, then a diagnosis of TS is likely, but there's still a chance of it going away or becoming very mild and controllable.  There are no blood, laboratory or brain imaging tests used for diagnosing tics. Most kids or adults are self-diagnosed after they, their parents / relatives or friends read or hear about TS or TTD. Chronic emotional, psychological and physical stress is associated with virtually every behavioral abnormality. Look at your child's daily routine and try to spot the major stressors, then alleviate them if you can. Doctors, psychologists and counselors recommend that family members don't call much attention to the tics, at least at first. This is because unwanted attention, especially if it's negative and involves anger or disparaging remarks, causes more stress that can make the tics worse. If the tics become complex and severe enough to cause social problems at school and/or work, then consider behavioral therapy and/or medications if they persist beyond a few months.  If the tic doesn't go away within a week or, ask your child what's bothering them. Maybe they have allergies, a chronic infection or another illness. Short-term repetitive behavior is not always a tic. Don't mimic your child's tic in efforts to be humorous or playful — it may make them more self-conscious or nervous. Seeking therapy or medication for a mild tic in a child due to your embarrassment is not a good idea. Deciding on treatment should depend on if the tic behavior disrupts your child's life or has a real negative impact. Cognitive behavioral therapy is usually the first line of treatment for tics that...

The secretary is usually responsible for taking meeting minutes, but if this is not the case for your organization, you will need to appoint someone to record the contents of the AGM.  Keep a record of any decisions made at the AGM, especially those regarding elections and changes to the organization's constitution. It can also be a wise idea to record the names and contact information of the attendees. You can do this by instructing the attendees to sign in as they arrive. Open the AGM with a formal greeting. During this greeting, make sure that the meeting agenda and annual reports are being distributed to the attendees.  Declare the meeting to be open. As you do so, state the organization's full name and the current AGM number (the twenty-second Annual General Meeting, the thirty-nine Annual General Meeting, etc.). Welcome all members and name any special visitors. If any officer or significant member is absent, you may want to briefly state the names of those absent after your welcome message.  You may invite other present members to make apologies on behalf of additional absent attendees, as well. Make a formal motion to accept the apologies. Verify that everyone has received a copy of the meetings from last year's AGM. Review these minutes and, when all issues are addressed, move to formally accept the minutes.  If there are any amendments or corrections that need to be made, they must be made before the minutes are accepted. After voting to accept the minutes, the chairperson will need to sign off on them. Topics that are related to the minutes from your previous AGM should be addressed immediately after those minutes are accepted. Discuss the matters as needed. This is usually a time to present concerns and observations, so formal motions may not be necessary. You will need to discuss the president's or chair-person's report, the secretary's report, and the treasurer's report.  Read and discuss each report one by one. After each report has been reviewed thoroughly, you should make a formal motion to...

Place into a large bowl. Put to one side for 15 minutes. Pour the activated yeast mixture in, along with the oil, yogurt and egg. Stir together to combine into a soft dough. Place the dough onto the surface. Using clean hands, knead the dough for about 10 minutes. It is ready when smooth and elastic to the touch. Cover with plastic food wrap (oiled lightly) or a clean tea towel. Set to one side in a warm place, allowing it to rise. Leave for around 45 minutes. It is ready when it has doubled in size. Put three heavy baking sheets or trays into the oven, to warm them. Flour the work surface lightly again. Place the dough onto the surface, then divide into three evenly sized balls or pieces. Cover two of the balls or pieces in lightly oiled plastic wrap and set aside while you work on the first ball or piece. Aim for a shape somewhat akin to a teardrop or pear. The thickness to aim for is around 5 to 8mm (1/2 to 1/3 inch), with the length approximately 25cm (10 inches) and the width approximately 13xm/5 inches wide. Remove the baking sheets or trays from the oven while using oven mitts. Place the naan on the hot sheet or tray, then bake for 3 to 4 minutes. Place until the hot grill just for a few seconds. It should brown slightly, then it's done. Cooked naans should be wrapped in a clean tea towel to keep warm. Spread melted butter or ghee or some favorite edible oil on the naans and serve with the main meal. Naan is always best served warm. Naan can be torn or cut into halves or quarters for sharing.

Estrogen is metabolized and filtered by the liver, but high levels of alcohol can decrease liver function. When liver function decreases, estrogen levels can increase.[citation needed]  If you have borderline high estrogen levels, limit your alcohol consumption to one glass per day or less. If you are already experiencing estrogen dominance, however, cut alcohol out of your diet completely. Alcohol contains estrogen-like substances (phytoestrogens) derived from the plants that are used to make the alcohol.  Such substances have been found to act as estrogens in mice and humans. Roughly 80 percent of estrogens acquired through diet come from cow's milk and dairy products made with cow's milk.[citation needed] Opt for non-dairy milk products, like almond milk or rice milk, instead.  Cows are often milked during pregnancy, when their estrogen levels are highest, which is why cow's milk can contain such high doses of estrogen. When you do consume dairy, choose helpful dairy sources. Yogurt can be especially beneficial since it contains probiotics. Caffeine, fat, and sugar can all increase estrogen levels in the body, so you should limit these foods as much as possible. For instance, even one cup of regular coffee can increase estrogen levels.[citation needed] Drinking up to four cups a day can raise your estrogen levels by as much as 70 percent.[citation needed] Soy contains plant compounds called "isoflavones" that mimic estrogen, so if you have high estrogen levels in your body, consuming unfermented soy can aggravate the estrogen's effects. Unfermented soy products include tofu and soy milk. Red meat can contain hormone additives, and these additives can boost estrogen levels in your body or behave like estrogen in the body.[citation needed] When you do eat meat, look for meat labeled as “organic” or “natural.” Consuming this meat will still cause you to consume the estrogen left over from the animal's natural stores, but you will not consume any abnormally excessive amounts of estrogen this way.

TL;DR in English: Consume less alcohol. Limit your dairy intake. Cut down on junk food. Avoid unfermented soy products. Consume less red meat.

If an assessor is coming to your house, don't bother trying to make it at its best. Don't hide the hole in the wall, the carpeting that is coming up in places, the cracks in the ceiling, or the sections of your lawn that won't grow grass. Make sure the property record reflects your 50 year old bathroom installation and the kitchen appliances from the 1980s. When the assessor comes to your home, don't let them wander around alone. Go with them. This way, you ensure that they don't just focus on the positive aspects of your home, but also notice all of the things that will bring down the property value. Search for tax breaks in your state that will help lower the cost. Some states allow some homeowners to shield partial value from taxation. You may be eligible for tax breaks based on other factors, such as being a senior citizen, a veteran, or disabled. Any structural change to your home can affect your taxes. Adding a pool, a deck, a shed, remodeling the kitchen, or putting down new carpet can raise the value of your house, and therefore, your property taxes. If you are planning on appealing your property taxes, refrain from any remodeling until afterwards. If you want to do some work on your home, investigate how much the new additions will increase your taxes. One reason property taxes increase is due to state and local budget cuts. The local governments use some of the revenue from property taxes to pay for schools, libraries, police and fire departments, and public services. While homeowners have limited influence in these matters, getting involved in local budget affairs and voting may make a difference. If you have vacant sections of land you bought to build that dream vacation or retirement home, you might consider selling it to help reduce your property taxes. This land factors into your property taxes and increases the amount you pay.  If you own significant acreage and your property taxes are too high, sell off some of the land. By reducing the number of acres you own, you reduce the value, which...

TL;DR in English: Don't make your house look perfect for the assessor. Walk with the assessor. Find a tax break. Limit the remodeling on your home. Vote for elected officials and school budgets. Sell off empty lots of land. Move.

Nose piercings should be cleaned twice a day - once in the morning and once in the evening - until they are fully healed. Cleaning your piercing too little may cause it to become dirty and infected while over-cleaning your piercing can lead to irritation and delayed healing. The simplest way to clean your piercing it to use a salt solution. To make a salt solution, mix 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized sea salt in 8 oz. (1 cup) of warm water. Alternatively, you can buy a packaged sterile saline solution from a store. Before you touch your piercing, it is essential that you thoroughly wash your hands with antibacterial soap. Otherwise, bacteria from your hands could come in contact with the piercing (which is essentially an open wound) and cause an infection. Grab a clean cotton ball and dip it into the salt solution. Gently press the cotton ball against your nose piercing and hold it there for 3 or 4 minutes. Be careful when removing the cotton ball in case it gets caught in the nose ring or stud. After cleaning, gently pat the area around your piercing dry with a clean cotton ball, a tissue or some paper towel. Avoid using a towel to do this, as towels can harbor bacteria and snag on the ring or stud. If you see any crusting develop over the piercing, resist the urge to remove it. The crust is your body's way of protecting the piercing. Lavender oil lubricates the piercing, reducing tenderness and promoting healing. After cleaning, apply a little lavender oil to the piercing using a lint-free cloth.  Twist the stud or rotate the ring to get the oil inside the piercing, then wipe away any excess with a clean tissue (otherwise it could irritate the skin). Lavender oil can be found at health food stores, at the supermarket or at the chemist's. Make sure the bottle is labeled "BP" or "medicinal grade". Avoid using any material with fibers that can get caught in the piercing. This includes cotton swabs, cotton balls, tissues, and toilet paper.

TL;DR in English:


Use confident body language. Keep your body hair trim. Make the room more comfortable. Laugh. Let your partner touch you.

Add ⅔ cup (165 g) of whole-milk yogurt, 1 finely grated clove of garlic, 2 teaspoons (30 ml) of fresh lemon juice, ½ teaspoon (3 ½ g) of honey, and 3 ounces (85 g) of crumbled blue cheese to a medium bowl. Stir the ingredients together well with a spoon, making sure to break up the cheese. Don't use Greek yogurt in this recipe. Plain yogurt is the best option. After you've prepared the yogurt mixture, add some kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. It's a good idea to taste the mixture so you know how much salt and pepper that you want to mix in. Once you've seasoned the yogurt mixture, take the leaves from 2 heads of Little Gem lettuce and place a 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 g) of the mixture in the center of the leaves. Next, use 6 ounces (170 g) of cooked and chopped bacon and the remaining 3 ounces (85 g) of crumbled blue cheese to top all of the lettuce boats. You can use the spoon to spread the yogurt mixture slightly to ensure that it's evenly distributed across the center of the leaves. Once you've filled all of the lettuce boats, arrange them on a serving platter. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (6 g) of finely chopped chives over the lettuce boats for garnish. Add several lemon wedges to the platter so you can squeeze them over the boats when serving. You can omit the chives if you prefer.

TL;DR in English: Combine the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, honey, and half of the blue cheese. Season the yogurt mixture with salt and pepper. Spoon some of the mixture on the lettuce leaves and top with bacon and cheese. Place the boats on a platter with chives and lemon wedges to serve.

There's no one rule about whether or not you should break up in public or in private. It will all depend upon your relationship and your boyfriend's personality. Even so, it's usually best not to break up with him in a place where he'll be humiliated. It's not a great idea to break up in a place that is totally isolated, just in case things get scary. Remember that even if you believe your boyfriend would never hurt you, people can act in surprising ways when they are hurt or embarrassed. Try to choose a place where you can have a private conversation, but where you can easily leave or call for help if needed. A good place might be a public park where you can sit on a bench out of earshot of other people, but where there are other people around. You may want to consider having a friend or an older sibling hang out nearby in case you're worried about how the conversation with your boyfriend will go. Once you and your boyfriend have sat down together, you may want to begin by telling him something kind. Unless he's been terrible to you, there's no reason to be cruel. It may help him to be reassured of the good qualities that he has that brought you together in the beginning. For example, you could say, “You've always been so supportive of me, which I really appreciate,” or “We have an awesome spark, and had a lot of fun together”. You won't want to beat around the bush, though. Make sure that you are direct and that you let your boyfriend know that you are breaking up. Tell him, “I don't want to be in a serious relationship right now, and I want to break up” or “I'm looking for something more out of a relationship, so I don't think we should see each other anymore”. Everyone can see through the “it's not you, it's me” line, so try to find a way to clearly explain to your boyfriend why you want to end things without insulting his intelligence.  Of course, it is possible that you want to break up not because of anything he's done but because you've realized you want something else (in which case it really is you,...

TL;DR in English: Choose the right place to break up. Avoid really private locations. Bring back-up if needed. Consider beginning by saying something kind. Avoid sugar-coating it. Avoid using the obvious break-up cliches. Be prepared to listen to your boyfriend. Keep it quick. Be firm and clear.

Soak a washcloth in hot water, then wring it out so that it’s just damp. Next, press the warm washcloth over your ingrown hair for up to 15 minutes. Repeat this up to 4 times a day, as needed. This will help the hair rise to the surface. You can also use a hot water bottle as a warm compress. Wet the area around the ingrown hair with warm water. Then, apply soap to your fingers and gently massage the hair for 10-15 seconds. Finally, rinse the area with warm water to wash away the soap. The gentle massage and heat from the water may draw the hair out. An exfoliator can remove the dead skin cells that cover the ingrown hair, which might help it surface. Rub your exfoliator over the area, then let it sit for 10 minutes. Next, wet the exfoliator with warm water and gently rub it into your skin as you rinse it off. Here are some natural exfoliators you can use:  Make a paste with 1/2 cup (110 grams) of brown or white sugar and about 3 tablespoons (44 mL) of olive oil. Mix 3 tablespoons (15 grams) of used coffee grounds with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of olive oil. Mix 3 tablespoons (38 grams) of salt with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of olive oil. Mix 1 teaspoon (6 grams) of baking soda with just enough water to make a paste. For stubborn ingrown hairs, you might use prescription retinoids to remove the top layer of your skin cells. This usually causes the hair to surface. Talk to your doctor to find out if this is an option for you. Then, use your topical treatment as directed. You can only get retinoids by prescription.

TL;DR in English: Apply a warm compress for 15 minutes to draw out the hair. Massage soap and warm water over the ingrown hair for 10-15 seconds. Apply a natural exfoliator for 10 minutes to remove dead skin cells. Ask your doctor about retinoids to remove the top layer of skin.

Without clothes to distract, or send a particular message, the way you carry yourself is vitally important to being comfortable and confident in your own skin. Even if you aren't feeling confident, faking it can help trick yourself into feeling more confident.  Have good posture. Stand or sit up straight to make yourself appear taller. Keep your chin up and shoulders relaxed for a confident pose. These are good tips when dressed, too, but even more important when it is harder to hide yourself with clothing.  Smile. A friendly face can project confidence in yourself, which is always more attractive to the other person.  Look forward and maintain eye contact. This can create a strong connection with your partner. Additionally, it will subconsciously force them to look at your eyes rather than other parts of your body. If you're still a bit nervous about being naked around another person, this can help keep their eyes from wandering too much. You may be comfortable letting your body hair grow wild, but your partner may disagree.

Look at your birth plan and see what you items you need to help make your delivery as comfortable as possible. Make sure to pack a bag a few weeks before your delivery in case you go into labor early. Some items you might want to have are:  A copy of your birth plan Music, videos, or reading material Comfortable clothing and footwear Scented lotion or massage oil Pillows Once you’ve finalized your birth plan and your due date approaches, give a copy of it to anyone who will be involved in the birth. This can help ensure that everyone involved in your birth understands your wishes and can accommodate them and any emergencies in a manner you like.  Let your healthcare providers know you want as natural a birth as possible in the hospital. Make sure family members have copies of your plan, too. Even if you don’t want them in the delivery room, it may be good for them to have an idea of your wishes so they can be your advocates during your delivery. If you have a nurse midwife or physician scheduled to deliver your baby, suggest that your doula or birth advocate meet her prior to the delivery. This gives you all a chance to discuss any expectations or particulars about your delivery and can prevent conflict or tension when you are in labor.  This can be an important step if you chose a doula or birth attendant who hasn’t met your doctor or healthcare provider. Ask your advocate to help defend your decisions during delivery as long as they maintain the safety of you and your baby. This can prevent interruptions during your labor and after birth and keep medical staff interferences to a minimum. As you enter the hospital to give birth, remind the staff that you’ve planned a natural birth. Some facilities immediately begin physical checks and examinations to determine the progression of labor simply through habit and may forget or not know your wishes.  Be aware that if you are considered high-risk, you may require examinations or other procedures that aren’t a part of your plan. Let your doula or midwife advocate...

They are plastic or resin and they cover the hot metal valves. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the valves even further. Use the wrench to tighten the nuts at the top of the valve. If you do, you will need to remove them and replace them with a regular cap to turn them off.  Use the caps that came with your radiator or use caps from a nearby radiator if they will only be used for a short time. Screw the caps on tight by hand and then with an adjustable wrench.

TL;DR in English: Turn the valves off on either side of the radiator. Remove the caps from the top of these valves. See if you have thermostatic radiator valves that take the temperature of the room and turn on and off automatically.

The balloon is going to move when you try to pop it, so you’ll need to either hold it with a free hand or secure it to a surface.  Try taping the tied-off end of the balloon to a surface using duct tape or another adhesive. Grip the balloon tightly to secure it yourself, holding the tied-off end for the easiest handle. There are several other ways to pop a balloon if you don’t have a pointy edge. Try using your feet, hands, or any other part of your body to put pressure on the balloon's sides. Press down on the balloon until it pops — this may take longer than it would to pop the balloon using a sharp object. Try jumping or stomping on the balloon, being careful not to trip or fall over it if it moves while popping. You can also squeeze the balloon to your chest or sit on the balloon, putting pressure on the sides until it pops.

TL;DR in English: Hold the balloon in place to keep it from moving around. Apply pressure to the balloon if you don’t have a sharp object. Use your body to pop the balloon.

While you may feel that puberty is too early for your child to start thinking about sex, it is likely that they will hear about it from friends, television, movies, or social media. Make sure that your daughter has accurate information about sex by discussing it openly. Answer any questions she has and encourage her to ask about anything she wants to know. Be sure to discuss safe sex measures, contraception, peer pressure, and health risks with your child as part of a complete talk about sex. Weight gain during or after puberty is common for girls as their metabolism changes. Assure your daughter that this possible weight gain is a normal part of her development and nothing to feel insecure about. Emphasize the importance of nutritious eating as well as exercise to stay healthy, regardless of what she weighs.  Talk to your daughter about eating disorders to acknowledge that some weight control behaviours are dangerous and unhealthy. Assert that sugary or processed junk foods are bad for her because they lack nutrients that she needs to be healthy, as opposed to stressing their calorie content. Stock your kitchen with healthy snacks for your daughter to enjoy. Peer pressure can start early among preteens so it is best to prepare your daughter as early as possible. Talk to her openly and honestly about drugs and alcohol and answer any questions that she may have. Give her some practical examples of how to deal with pressure to try these substances, such as:  Stating a specific reason for saying no, such as not wanting to smoke because you have asthma. Speaking firmly and clearly to get the message across. Removing herself from a situation if she feels pressured to do something she doesn't want to do. Calling home to be picked up if the situation gets out of control. Spending time with friends who choose not to use drugs and alcohol.

TL;DR in English:


Do your research. Protect your identity. Avoid upfront payments and fees. Watch out for pyramid schemes. Demand a contract. Look for official job postings.

Talk assertively and with assurance, and tell the bully to stop harassing you and to leave you alone. Practice this skill in the mirror if you want to be extra convincing. When addressing a bully, it helps to be loud and firm, and look the bully in the eye.  Say something like, “No, stop it!” or “Hey, why don’t you just leave me alone!” Telling the bully to stop harassing you will also draw attention to the situation. If you can’t shake the bully, you might be able to convince the people watching not to be bystanders. Discharge and redirect the tension that’s feeding a potential fight by changing the subject to something else. You might crack a non-threatening joke or ask a question. Try to keep it relevant to your interactions; you don’t want your tactic to appear too obvious. Say something like:  “I heard Mr. Peterson was going to supervise recess today. You better leave; you don’t want him to catch you here.” “I heard the cafeteria is giving out free tacos with lunch. You’d better hurry if you want to get any.” Afterwards, tell a responsible adult that you were bullied and describe what happened. Some bullies can be talked down from a fight. Say something that might deter them from attacking you, or that can draw bystanders’ attention to the bully’s unfair actions. Remember to be assertive and make lots of eye contact. If they don’t seem to listen, you need to walk away. Make sure to tell a responsible adult about it. Try saying something like:  “Why are you picking on me? This really isn’t fair.” “What do you want? I don’t want to fight you.” If all else fails, you might appeal to their ego to avoid a fight: “Everyone knows you’ll beat me easily if we fight.” Do not become angry or upset, no matter what bullies do or say. Bullies thrive on getting a dramatic response out of their victims, and will do things to make you upset or angry. If you avoid responding in these ways, the bully will soon realize that they have nothing to gain by harassing you. Do not make angry outbursts or cry when bullied. Either...

TL;DR in English: Speak to your bully with confidence. Change the subject to distract the bully. Persuade your bully to back down and leave you alone. Stay calm and collected while being bullied.

Use a basic ballpoint pen that has a cap for the easiest results. Grab the tip of the pen and try pulling it out or unscrewing it from the tube. Remove the ink chamber from inside the pen so you have an empty tube to use as your coil gun’s barrel. Start your coil about 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) from the closed end of pen tube. Make sure the coils are tightly wrapped and don’t overlap. Continue wrapping the wire around the pen until 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) are covered with the wire.  The copper wire may also be called magnet wire when you buy it from a hardware store. Don’t cut the wire when you’re finished with the first layer since you’ll use it to make additional layers later on. Once you have your first layer of wires completed, wrap electrical tape around them to hold them in place. Cover all of the wires, but leave the last coil exposed so you can continue wrapping other layers.  If you don’t have electrical tape, you can use clear tape or duct tape instead. Make sure there aren’t lumps in the tape or else it will be more difficult to coil the next layer. Continue using the wire you used for your first layer and coil it back toward your starting point. Make sure the wire is still going in the same direction around the pen or else the gun won’t work. Wrap the wire back and forth, putting electrical tape between each layer, until you’ve completed 7 or 8 layers of wire. You can make more layers of wire if you want, but 7-8 should be enough to shoot a projectile.

TL;DR in English: Take apart a ballpoint pen so you can use the tube. Wrap 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) of the tube in a single layer of 30-gauge copper wire. Place a layer of electrical tape over the coiled wires. Make 7-8 more layers of wires to make your coil gun stronger.

Your seating position and center of gravity make a huge difference in how the kart handles. Sit back in the seat and try to relax your body. Don't lean forward or bounce the kart by fidgeting or jumping in the seat.  Go karts don't have seatbelts, but they do have bucket seats that will support you while you drive. Don't worry about holding yourself in the seat. If you find that your arms are getting tired after driving, that might mean you're holding yourself up with your arms. Try to relax into the seat while you drive! You should hold the steering wheel near where 9 and 3 appear on a clock face. Some prefer higher or lower (as high as 10 and 2 or as low as 8 and 4). Make sure your hands are symmetrically placed on the kart steering wheel.  Don't grip the wheel too tight. Firm and steady is the way to go to keep your wrists flexible and quick. Never use your shoulders to steer. Try to consistently use the same hand placement. Familiar positioning will help yourself react instinctively and stay in the zone. Once you receive the signal to go it may be tempting to mash down on the accelerator, but this isn't always best. Jamming the accelerator from a standstill can cause the wheels to spin rather than effectively grip the surface. You'll need to get the feel for your kart.  If your kart wheels spin when you jam the accelerator, ease back and try to learn the sweet spot of maximum acceleration. Weather, track, and tire conditions have a major effect too. Be sure to adjust. If your kart can tolerate jamming the accelerator without losing traction, go for it! It almost sounds counter intuitive to steer less, but any deviation from a straight line compromises acceleration. Try to plot your driving and turning to involve as little steering and braking as possible. The straighter your overall course and the smoother your turns are, the faster you'll go! While you'll have a general idea of the lines you want to take from evaluating the course prior to racing, sometimes you need to switch things up. As you get used...

TL;DR in English: Sit correctly in your kart. Maintain a consistent hold on the steering wheel. Use controlled acceleration. Steer as little as possible. Experiment with different lines. Take track notes.

Place 4 tablespoons (36 g) of toasted sesame seeds into a small bowl. Add ½ cup (115 g) of granulated white sugar, then stir them together with a fork. Set the bowl aside for later. Toast the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat for 30 to 45 seconds, then let them cool before using them. Place 2 cups (300 g) of glutinous rice flour into a bowl. Add 1 cup (240 mL) of room-temperature water, then stir it in with a whisk. Once the dough comes together, knead it a few times with your hands to form a clump. Roll the dough into 1 in (2.5 cm) balls, then flatten them until they are 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) thick.  Work with wet hands to keep the dough from sticking to your palms and fingers.  Use about 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 g) of dough for each ball. The patties will be about 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) wide once you flatten them. Fill a pot with 2 quarts (1.9 L) of water. Ensure that it is at least 5 inches (13 cm) deep, then bring it to a boil over medium to medium-high heat. If the water is too shallow, the palitaw won't cook properly. Add more water, if needed, or switch to a deeper pot. Drop the palitaw 3 or 4 into the pot, or however many you can fit without them touching. Allow them to cook until they float to the top of the water. This will take about 1 to 3 minutes.  How many palitaw you fit will depend on the size of the pot. The larger the pot is, the more you'll fit. The smaller the pot is, the fewer you'll fit. Do not dump all of the patties into the water or they will stick together. Place the palitaw on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to dry. Once the pot is empty, slip more patties into the water and cook them as well. Keep going until you've cooked all of the patties.  Spread the palitaw out on the baking sheet; don't lump them together. Keep an eye on the water. If it gets too shallow, add more water. Let it return to a boil before adding the palitaw. Pour 1 cup (75 g) of grated coconut into a shallow dish. Place a palitaw into the coconut, then flip it over and press the other side...

TL;DR in English: Combine the toasted sesame seeds and sugar, then set them aside. Mix the rice flour and water in a separate bowl to make a dough. Form the dough into balls, then flatten them into disks. Bring a pot of water to a boil over medium to medium-high heat. Cook the palitaw 3 to 4 at a time for 1 to 3 minutes. Remove the palitaw with a slotted spoon, then cook more. Dip the patties in grated coconut, then transfer them to a platter. Sprinkle the patties with the sesame-sugar, then serve them.

Anytime you begin interacting with a potential employer, spend some time researching them to figure out whether or not they’re legitimate. Here are some good ways to conduct this research:  Run a Google search on the potential employer’s name or company name to see if anyone has had any problems with them. Ask about their track record through your state’s Attorney General’s office. Search for the employer on the Better Business Bureau’s website to see if anyone has registered complaints about them. You should avoid giving out any sensitive personal or financial information online or over the phone, especially if you’re asked to do so as part of a job application process. In most cases, legitimate employers will not ask you to do this. Avoid any potential employer that asks you to pay an application fee, that requires you to pay for a training course before you’re offered an actual job, or that promises you commissions in exchange for transferring money for them through your bank account. Each of these scenarios is likely a scam designed to steal your money. Pyramid schemes will ask you to join a company or pay money into a company in exchange for the chance to make more money when new participants join or pay into the program in the future. These schemes are often scams, so play it safe by steering clear of them altogether. If a potential employer does not provide a contract to finalize an employment agreement, it may be a scam. Do not enter into agreements or share information with potential employers who refuse to offer you a formal contract. If you’ve received an email about a possible job opportunity that you didn’t previously know about or apply for, it may be a good idea to do some online research to see whether or not the company has issued a legitimate job posting. This can help determine the validity of the job offer.

TL;DR in English:


Monitor your account for suspicious activity. Contact your bank immediately if your card is stolen or lost. Be proactive.

These are ideal for Valentine's Day or breakfast in bed for a loved one. Any shape different from your usual shape can be fun. Rather than simply placing the waffle on a plate as if that's all there is to it, try a fancy presentation..  It can look very effective when evenly balanced across the waffle. Use two waffles for the edges and fill with ice cream. Use a knife to cut and square off the ice cream.

If you're building a treehouse in your backyard, then you may only have so many trees to choose from. Once you have chosen a healthy tree, you can start thinking about the design of the house that can go on it; or you can take the opposite route and think of the design first, and then make sure that you have a fitting tree. Here are some things you keep in mind as you choose the tree for your treehouse:  For a standard 8'x8' treehouse, choose a tree with a trunk at least 12" in diameter. To calculate your tree's diameter, measure its circumference by wrapping a string or measuring tape around the trunk at the point where you want the treehouse to sit. Divide that number by pi (3.14) to get the diameter. It's important to have a firm idea of the design of your dream treehouse before you hammer in the first nail. You can find treehouse designs online, or if you're knowledgeable about building, you can create your own. You need to make accurate measurements to ensure that your design works with the tree you've selected.  You may find it helpful to make a small cardboard model of your tree and treehouse to identify any potential issue areas. In creating your design, don't forget to plan for tree growth.  Allow ample space around the trunk of the tree for the tree to grow. It's worth doing some research on your specific tree species to determine its growth rate. There are several ways to support your treehouse. Whatever method you choose, it's important to remember that trees move with the wind. Sliding joists or brackets are essential to make sure your tree and treehouse are not damaged by winds. Here are the three main support methods for your tree:  The post method. This method involves sinking support posts into the ground close to the tree, rather than attaching anything to the tree itself. It is the least damaging to the tree. The bolt method. Bolting the support beams or floor platform directly into the tree is the most traditional method of supporting a treehouse. However, this method is the most damaging...

TL;DR in English: Choose your tree. Choose your design. Decide on your support method. Decide on your access method. Figure out what you'll do with branches that interfere with your treehouse.

Try using aromatherapy, which is based on inhaling the vapors of essential oils such as lavender, chamomile, jasmine, or peppermint oils in a warm bath. Aromatherapy can decrease inflammation, relax muscles, improve your anxiety, maintain your sleep pattern, and reduce nausea.  Having a warm bath in itself can also be soothing, helping to alleviate generalized muscle aches and pains. If you find that your pain is localized to a particular area of your body, you can also try using heat or a cold pack applied directly to that location to soothe the pain. During visualization, you try to imagine a scene or a place that will make you feel comforted and happy. You can try doing this by thinking of a place or memory that makes you happy, and visualizing it in detail. This can improve your mood and help you control cancer symptoms and reduce the severity of pain, stress, and tiredness. Going for a walk, doing yoga, or engaging in other physical activities can help to improve your overall health. Exercise also releases endorphins, which are natural pain-killing substances in the brain, so it can also help to combat cancer pain. Speak to your physician about an exercise program that is safe for you, depending upon the stage and severity of your cancer. Exercise can also help to alleviate stress and depression, and enhance your general mood, so the benefits are multiple.

TL;DR in English: Breathe in pleasant aromas to relax and reduce inflammation. Use visualization to improve your mental state. Exercise to improve your fitness.

Apple sells a Digital AV Adapter that plugs into your iPad's charging socket for $49, from which point you can attach an HDMI cable to the adapter and the TV's HDMI input.  If you don't have an HDMI cable, you'll also need to purchase one before continuing. If your TV doesn't support HDMI, you'll also need an HDMI-to-RCA adapter. Insert the smaller end of the adapter's cable into the charging port of the iPad. Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the adapter, and the other into an HDMI port on the back or side of your TV.  If your TV doesn't support HDMI and you're using an RCA adapter, you'll need to attach the RCA adapter to the HDMI cable as well as a power source, then run the red, yellow, and white cables from the RCA adapter to the A/V input on the back of your TV. Your iPad's screen will be mirrored on your TV, showing exactly what appears on the iPad. Use your iPad to open the video you want to show, then press the Play button. Your video should begin playing on your TV.

TL;DR in English: Buy an HDMI-to-iPad adapter. Plug the adapter into your iPad. Connect the adapter to your TV. Watch your videos.

Be diligent about regularly checking your bank statements to make sure no unauthorized transactions have been made using your card. Most banks will contact you if they suspect any transactions are fraudulent, but it's always a good idea to check your statements personally and on a regular basis. If possible, check your account online rather than waiting for paper statements. Tell them immediately if you think that there is anything that may compromise your PIN, such as an easy PIN, other ID in your wallet making it easy to work out or, horror of all horrors, the PIN being written down somewhere in the wallet or on the card. Get the bank to cancel the card immediately. If you suspect any fraudulent activity using a card still in your possession, apart from notifying the bank and the police, have your PIN changed immediately.

TL;DR in English:
