State your needs explicitly. Ask about your partner’s needs. Be sensitive to your partner’s needs. Stay positive. Manage conflicts. Have “big picture” conversations.

Avoid applying apple cider vinegar to broken or damaged skin. Vinegar is irritating and may make your compromised skin vulnerable to bacterial infections. Your doctor can treat bacterial infections with topical or oral antibiotics. Minimize skin irritation by not putting vinegar on your face or genitals. This will likely sting and can compromise the integrity of your skin. It is especially important to avoid your eye area. Rinse your skin and halt your vinegar use if the vinegar stings or inflames your skin. There are no confirmed medical benefits of using vinegar topically. It's best to consult a doctor about any skin concerns rather than trying untested home remedies. Avoid applying apple cider vinegar to your skin for more than a minute or two at a time, especially not with occlusive dressings, such as bandages. Especially under dressings, vinegar can erode your skin and cause serious burns. Some skin types may be more sensitive to acids like vinegar than others, so it's difficult to advise on a safe level of exposure.

TL;DR in English: Use apple cider vinegar only on healthy skin. Steer clear of sensitive areas. Stop using apple cider vinegar if you feel burning or irritation. Don't put apple cider vinegar on the skin for prolonged periods of time.

After the injured person is stabilized, it's time to immobilize the broken bone if you anticipate a wait of an hour or longer for emergency medical personnel. Immobilizing it can help reduce the pain and protect the broken bone from further injury caused by inadvertent movement. If you don't have proper training, don't try to realign the bone. Attempting to align broken bones improperly can lead to further damage to blood vessels and nerves, leading to potential bleeding and potential paralysis. Keep in mind that splints only work for limb bones, not those of the pelvis or torso.  The best method of immobilization is to make a simple splint. Place a piece of stiff cardboard or plastic, a branch or stick, a metal rod, or rolled up newspaper/magazine on either side of the injury to support the bone. Tie these supports together firmly with tape, string, rope, cord, rubber tubing, leather belt, necktie, scarf, etc. When splinting a fractured bone, try to allow movement in the adjacent joints and don't secure it too tight — allow appropriate blood circulation. Splinting may not be necessary if emergency services are coming right away. In this case, splinting may cause more harm than good if you don't have the appropriate training. Once the broken bone is immobilized, apply something cold (preferably ice) to it as soon as you can while you wait for the ambulance. Cold therapy has many benefits, including numbing the pain, reducing inflammation / swelling and reducing bleeding by causing the arteries to constrict. If you don't have ice handy, consider using frozen gel packs or bags of vegetables, but make sure to wrap anything cold in a thin cloth in order to avoid ice burn or frostbite.  Apply ice for about 20 minutes or until the area is completely numb before removing it. Compressing it against the injury may help reduce swelling even more as long as it doesn't increase the pain. While applying the ice, make sure the broken bone is elevated in order to combat swelling and slow down bleeding (if applicable)....

TL;DR in English: Immobilize the broken bone. Apply ice to the injury. Keep calm and watch for signs of shock. Consider pain medication.

If you have a larger budget, consider purchasing an automotive glass cleaner. These cleaners are more expensive but will generally give you better results. Standard glass cleaners such as Windex or a foaming glass cleaner such as ZEP will also work well. Finally, some people create their own cleaners by using a water and vinegar mixture or simply rubbing pure ammonia on their windshield.  Ammonia is an excellent glass cleaner. However, it can easily damage the paint, upholstery, and carpet in your car. Be careful of drips when using it as a cleaner.  To make your own water-vinegar cleaner, mix one part hot water with one part vinegar in a spray bottle. Shake well. First, mist a thin layer of the cleaner onto the windshield. If you can’t reach your entire windshield at once just clean half of it at a time. Using a new, clean microfiber towel, wipe the windshield clean in a horizontal back and forth motion. Gently lift the windshield wipers out from the car to clean the glass underneath them.  If you’re using ammonia to clean your windows, pour a small amount of ammonia on the microfiber cloth before wiping the windshield. Remember to wear gloves when handling ammonia. If you don’t have microfiber cloths, newspaper can be used instead. If you don’t have microfiber towels consider using a squeegee instead. Mist a thin layer of your cleaner on your windshield. Use the spongy side of the squeegee to scrub the dirt and grease off your windshield. Once the entire window is soapy, turn the squeegee over. Run the rubbery part of the squeegee across the glass in sections, pressing gently to remove all of the soapy liquid.  When using a squeegee, you can skip the cleaner and fill a bucket with dish soap and warm water. Dip the squeegee in the bucket and clean the windows. Keep a paper towel on hand to dry the rubber side of the squeegee in between strokes. Use a fresh, clean microfiber cloth. If you use a dirty or washed cloth you risk scratching the glass of your windshield. Dry the glass using smooth, circular...

TL;DR in English: Choose a glass cleaner. Wash your windshield. Wash your windshield with a squeegee. Dry the windshield. Clean the inside of the windshield. Use wiper fluid when driving.

Take a sharp knife from your kitchen. Place your lemon on a cutting board or similar surface. Cut it in half down the middle. Wet your hands with clean, running water and then lather them with hand soap. Scrub your hands for about 20 seconds, making sure to target areas like between your fingers, the backs of your hands, and under your fingernails. Then, rinse your hands thoroughly. To keep track of time, hum the "Happy Birthday" song twice. Take a container such as a bowl or glass. In one hand, hold the lemon in the palm of your hand. The cut-side should be facing upward. Use your hand to squeeze the lemon as hard as you can. The juice should run over your hands and down the sides of the lemon. Keep squeezing the lemon until juice is no longer coming out steadily. Squeezing the lemon cut-side up should prevent most seeds from getting into the lemon juice. However, some seeds may drip into the lemon juice anyway. If you notice any seeds, remove them with a fork or spoon.

TL;DR in English: Cut your lemon in half. Wash your hands. Hold the lemon above a container, cut side up. Squeeze the lemon. Remove any seeds.
###
Don't expect a longtime partner to read your mind.  If you find yourself becoming frustrated that your partner does not meet your needs or expectations, try having a conversation in which you outline those needs.  For example, you may feel as though your partner does not appreciate you because she does not tell you that she appreciates you.  It’s quite possible that she feels appreciative and notices all of the things that you do, but she doesn’t say anything about them.  In this case, you might tell her, “Sometimes I feel unappreciated. It would help me feel more appreciated if you would verbally acknowledge what I have done and thank me for it.” Another example is if you feel as though your partner is no longer attracted to you because she does not typically initiate intimacy.  If this is the case, tell her how you feel and explain how you would like her to act differently. When discussing your emotional needs, be sure to offer reciprocation by asking what your partner’s needs are. If your partner tends to be less communicative about emotions, you may need to help her find the language to communicate her needs.  Be patient and realize that she may need time to think about it before responding.  If she asks for time, don’t forget to follow up. When she does talk to you, really listen to and try to understand what she says. Once you have shared your needs with each other, you and your partner should try to put your knowledge into action.  You may even work together to create an “action plan” to implement meeting each other’s needs.   For example, if your partner wishes for you to verbally communicate your appreciation for her, you might set a reminder on your phone to pay her a compliment a couple of times a week. You could say things like, “thank you for planning and organizing our upcoming vacation. I know you have worked very hard to try to make everything go smoothly for the entire family” or “it really means a lot to me that you got up and made me breakfast before I left for work this morning.  You do so...

TL;DR in English:


Find inexpensive foods that are filling. Try shopping at discount stores, ethnic markets, and farmers markets. Look into emergency food assistance programs.

Using a light application of perfume or cologne on your pulse points makes you smell fresh. However, spraying loads of it on mid-day to mask the smell of sweat is not a good idea. You’ll make matters worse if you try to cover up unfresh smells with strong floral or earthy scents. It’s better to find a way to take a quick shower or use cleansing wipes if you don’t have time. If you tend to get bad breath after eating onions, or your skin smells like garlic a few hours after consuming spaghetti sauce, choose what you eat a little more carefully. Stick with lighter foods like salads, fruits and vegetables, especially on days when staying fresh is a priority. Eating these foods has the added benefit of keeping body odor to a minimum.  Know which foods give you indigestion, too. Common culprits are beans, greasy foods and cruciferous vegetables. Spicy foods may make you sweat more than usual. If your bedroom, car, and other places where you hang out aren’t clean, it’s going to affect the way you smell and look. For example, if you have a messy bedroom and never hang up your clothes, they might smell a little stale and look wrinkled. Here’s what you can do:  Put away clean laundry right away, and keep dirty laundry in a closed hamper. Vacuum often, especially if you have a pet. Clean out the inside of your car. Clean out your office and other places where you spend hours of time a day.

TL;DR in English: Avoid dousing yourself in perfume or cologne. Stay away from strong-smelling foods. Don’t neglect your personal spaces.

Regular exercise improves blood flow to the brain and can keep thinking and memory skills intact. Being active also helps to decrease cholesterol and blood pressure - two health issues that increase your risk for Alzheimer's. An ideal goal is to do a combination of cardiovascular exercise (i.e. getting sweaty and getting your heart rate up) and strength training to build muscle. Walking and swimming are great for those new to exercise.  Aim for 30 minutes of cardio five times per week. This is the President’s Recommendation for physical fitness. Swim, run, do an at-home exercise tape – whatever gets your blood pumping.  For those less in shape, even 40 minutes of brisk walking three times per week can be of benefit.  Talk to your healthcare provider about any medical conditions before starting a new exercise plan. There is a diet that may be designed to promote a healthy brain: the MIND Diet. The MIND Diet combines a Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet (for lowering cholesterol). The ten best brain foods in the MIND Diet are green leafy vegetables, any other vegetables, nuts (walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts are the best choices), berries (especially blueberries), beans, whole grains, fish, poultry, olive oil, and red wine. This is a great diet for your body, too, since it can also help lower blood pressure and cholesterol.  The top five foods to avoid are: Red meats, butter and margarine, cheese, pastries and sweets (sugar), and fried or fast food.  Fish contains omega-3s, which are great for brain health. Eating fish one or more times per week may reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s by up to 60%. Vegetarian options high in omega-3s are chia and flax seeds.  Red grapes contain a compound, resveratrol, that may help protect the brain. Limited consumption of red wine may be beneficial. As with any alcohol, drink only in moderation (e.g. one glass daily maximum). Red grape juice is a good alternative. Your goal Total Cholesterol should be under 200 mg/dL, and LDLs (or “bad” cholesterol) below 100 mg/dL. However,...

TL;DR in English: Exercise 3-5 times per week. Eat a brain-healthy diet. Visit your doctor yearly for cholesterol and blood pressure checks. Control your blood sugar. Reduce your risk for Cardiovascular Disease and Atherosclerosis. Stop smoking Drink more tea.

Trade with a friend or migrate them from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire or Emerald version. You will not be able to fight Regigigas without them. You should also have:  A strong Pokémon (Preferably Breloom or Parasect) 40+ Dusk balls When you approach the statue, he will awaken and you can fight him. He is strong but has the Slow Start ability, so use your first five moves to lower his attack and speed stats.  Make sure you save before fighting. If Regigigas blacks you out, you run out of balls, or you kill him, you can just switch your DS off and on and try again. If you kill him and you haven't saved your game, you must defeat the Champion again so he will respawn.

TL;DR in English: Make sure you have Regirock, Regice and Registeel in your Pokémon party. Navigate to level B5F, where you will find the statue of Regigigas.

Start with the largest number in your data set. Write that on the top row of a blank sheet of paper. Directly underneath it, write the next-highest number. Give each number its own row to make a column of data points. For example, if you were making a pie chart of the number of animals on a farm, you would list 24 cows at the top, followed by 20 pigs, and 6 chickens. You can either draw symbols or write labels out based on what kind of data your pie chart is depicting. Place each label directly next to its corresponding number on the same row as the number. This will make it easier to keep track of what each number represents. For example, you would write “cows” next to 24, “pigs” next to 20, and “chickens” next to 6. You could also use small drawings to represent each animal or abbreviate them with “C,” “P,” and “Ch.” Draw a horizontal line underneath your column of data points and add each number together using a calculator. Write the sum of your data underneath horizontal line to find your denominator. This number is what you’ll divide each data point by to get a decimal.  A denominator is a math term for the number that goes below a fraction line. The idea here is that you’re going to divide each individual number in your data by the denominator to get a decimal. This will show you what percentage of the sum each data point is. You will multiply each decimal by 360 to determine how big of a section it deserves on the pie chart. For the pie chart about farm animals, you would add 24, 20, and 6 together to get a total of 50. This would be your denominator. Use a calculator to divide each data point by your denominator. Write this new decimal out next to the data point that it corresponds with. Each number should be under 1, and the numbers in the new column should also be in descending order with the highest number at the top and the lowest number at the bottom.  If any of your numbers come out to be more than 1, something went wrong. Each number should be a decimal. For the farm animal pie chart, 24/50 =...

TL;DR in English: Write each data point down and list it from high to low. Label each number that you write down so that you don’t forget them. Add all of the numbers together to get your denominator. Divide each individual number by the denominator to get a decimal. Multiply each decimal by 360 to get the necessary angle for each slice. Add all of your numbers up to check your work.

Foods that are high in fiber and protein are very filling, and often very inexpensive.  Rice and other whole grains are very cheap and can keep you feeling full for longer periods. Canned or dried beans are very healthy sources of fiber and protein. Bagged, dried beans or canned beans often cost less than a dollar at the supermarket. At times when your food budget is more plentiful, stock up on these items or cook them ahead and freeze them. Less expensive cuts of meat such as chicken thighs, bone-in, and skin-on cuts, and tougher parts of beef are good alternatives for those on a strict budget. These establishments often have better prices that will allow you to stretch a small budget.   Indian and Mexican cuisine often feature ingredients like rice and beans. These items are even cheaper at ethnic markets. Discount food stores often feature very cheap prices on canned and frozen foods. Fresh produce can be hard to come by when you are on a budget. Visit a local farmers' market towards the end of the day. It is easier to find bargains on fresh produce just before closing as the vendors are trying to unload any surplus. These programs can help you find immediate relief during a food shortage as well as long term assistance.   In the United States, the government runs a program called the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). Call your state office to get in touch with someone who will be able to provide immediate assistance. Eligibility for assistance programs varies by state. You will need to contact your state welfare agency to find out if your family is eligible for these services. Contact your local food bank. They may be able to provide you with a one-time emergency donation to get you through an immediate food crisis.

Look up card prices using online card-selling websites. Ask Pokémon players or collectors. Note the card's condition. Sell low-value cards in bulk.

Placing ads can be an excellent source of revenue for your blog. With “pay per click” (PPC) ads, you get paid when visitors to your blog click on ads that lead to other clients. You usually need to already have a strong readership and high visitor counts for ad buyers to be interested in your blog. Here are some examples of websites that pay you to place ads:  Google’s AdSense program is the most widely used PPC program because it has the power of Google Search behind it. Google will read your article and find "ads that are relevant" to it and display them next to or within the article. It will also use your readers’ cookies to display ads that are relevant to their recently visited websites on your blog.  You can also sign up for “cost per impressions” (CPM) ads. These function similarly to PPC, but they pay you based on units of “impressions” (views) the ad gets, even if the visitor doesn’t click on the link. Usually, the units are sets of 1,000 impressions.  If you don’t have about 10,000 unique visitors to your site every month, you aren’t likely to make much money from ads. That’s why it’s crucial to build up your readership through marketing and quality content. Affiliate marketing is a very popular way of monetizing a blog because it capitalizes on your readers’ trust of you. If your posts always deliver quality content, then your audience is more likely to trust product or service recommendations. You can provide links or recommendations to relevant products and get a commission from any sales driven by your blog.  Amazon Associates lets you place a banner on your website with products targeted at your audience, such as diapers for a parenting website or art supplies for a creative website. You earn a small commission when people buy something through your link. Amazon pays a commission ranging from 4% to 15%. Amazon is the giant in the industry, but it’s also a good idea to reach out to small companies and even individuals who make products or services that are related to your blog. For example, if...

TL;DR in English: Sign up to place ads on your blog. Sign up for affiliate marketing. Write sponsored posts. Work directly with a brand or company. Generate leads for other businesses. Use your blog as a portfolio. Create paid content.

Think of any items the person has asked for in their stocking, as well as any hobbies or things they enjoy. This will help you create a list of possible ideas (as well as places to shop) for their stocking stuffers. For example, if the person loves nature or asked for a stocking full of fun items, you might look for a mini flashlight, patterned gloves, travel games, and stickers with animals on them. This is especially helpful if you’re filling a stocking for more than one person, as the cost of all the small filler items combined can get quite high. Choose a budget for each stocking, such as $25, to help make sure they’re all of a similar quality and you don’t spend too much. If there are things that you put in the stocking every year, purchase these items and plan for how much space you’ll have left over in the stocking. If you don’t have any traditions for stockings, consider starting one! Popular family stocking stuffers might include oranges, a toothbrush, or LifeSavers Storybooks. The theme ties together all of the items in the stocking, narrowing your search to items related to one specific subject that the stocking recipient would like. The theme might be something like sports, princesses, sweets, or books.  For example, a sports-themed stocking could include items like candies in the shapes of footballs or basketballs, a mini sports game, pencils with baseballs on them, or sports-themed stickers. A princess-themed stocking might have a toothbrush with a princess on it, a tiara, plastic jewelry, and a princess coloring book.

TL;DR in English: Select items depending on the recipient’s interests and preferences. Choose a budget for each stocking, if desired. Incorporate family traditions when choosing items. Consider choosing a theme for the stocking.

If you wear all one color from head to toe, it tends to look a little dressy. Since chiffon pants are already on the dressy side, try playing around with different colors and prints to create a more casual vibe.  Chiffon pants are available in a wide range of colors, from basic neutrals like white, cream, navy, and black, to bold shades like fuschia, mustard, and teal. In addition, you can often find chiffon pants featuring stripes, florals, and other prints. For example, you might wear yellow chiffon palazzo pants with a fitted navy blue top, gold hoop earrings, and stacked wedges for a bold look that’s perfect for any season. Although they look dressy, chiffon pants are also extremely comfortable, so they’re a natural match for a slim-fitting T-shirt. You can tuck the shirt in to show off your waistline, or leave it untucked for a breezier style. You could also wear your shirt tied at your waist for a fun, summery look.  If the weather is cool, you could wear a slim-fitting sweater or turtleneck instead.  A bodysuit is great for this look, because it won’t come untucked throughout the day. A cropped tank top and a pair of high-waisted chiffon palazzo pants is as cool and easy as it gets. Depending on how you style it, you can take this look anywhere from a day at the beach to a casual date. To dress it down, keep your hair and makeup simple, and opt for sneakers, flats, or casual sandals.  Wear a one-shoulder cropped tank and a smokey eye to add a little extra glam. Take this look to the beach with sunglasses, a topknot, sandals, and bronzy makeup. If you’re trying to dress down your chiffon pants, look for casual shoes, like strappy sandals, wedges, loafers or flats. You can also wear boots or ankle boots with your chiffon pants, but most of the detail will be lost unless you’re wearing cropped palazzo pants.  If you want to wear sneakers, opt for a low-profile style. Try the pants on with the same type of shoe you’re planning on wearing to make sure the length is right Stick to colorful, bold, or chunky...

TL;DR in English: Mix and match colors to create a fun outfit. Wear a tucked-in, fitted T-shirt for a look that’s comfortable and casual. Try a cropped tank top with high-waisted palazzo pants for a summery vibe. Keep your shoes casual and simple. Opt for chunky, casual jewelry.

There are thousands of unique Pokémon trading cards, and prices change over time as people sell, buy, and speculate. Recently printed cards may drop in price once they are no longer legal in tournaments. Because of these factors, looking up a card actually for sale is more likely to give you an accurate number than a price guide, which may not be up to date.  Try a Pokémon card-selling site or eBay, or search online for (your card name) + "selling". Remember to include any special features, using the terms described in the identification section. Most online listings show how much a company is selling cards for. Look for a "buylist" to see how much the company will pay to buy your cards. If selling to another player, the price you'll get will typically fall between these two numbers. It's often difficult to find a price online, especially for extra-rare cards that do not trade hands often. Search for a Pokémon trading card game forum online, and post a picture or description of your card for advice. You could also look for a hobby or gaming store in your area. Be wary of scams. Get a second opinion on your cards' value before selling them to a stranger. If a card has no visible marks on either side, except perhaps small white marks at the edges, it is considered Mint or Near Mint, and will sell for full price. Different companies have different condition guidelines for damaged cards, but typically a card will be worth significantly less if it is whitened, scratched, or stamped. Many people will not buy cards that are written on, water damaged, modified or torn. Any card that does not have one of the defining features in the identification section is unlikely to be worth more than a few cents. As you probably discovered if you looked up your individual rares, many of those are worth less than a dollar. The same online stores that sell individual Pokémon cards often buy bulk orders as well, and this is probably your best bet at making some money off these cards.

TL;DR in English:


Say "au revoir" in any setting. Use "salut" informally. Switch to “adieu.

In order to keep you and your dog healthy and happy, you need to potty train him. It takes patience, time, and continued work. You need to set up a feeding and walking routine and enforcing good behavior when he goes to the bathroom outside. You may also need to paper train him if you live in an apartment.  The length of time it takes to potty train will vary depending on your dog. Keep at it and your dog will eventually learn. Keep you dog in a small, easily cleanable area while you are potty training him, such as a bathroom or laundry room. A good way to train your dog is with a crate. This can help keep your beagle in a contained area when you aren't around and will help you travel with him. It isn't bad for you dog if he is trained to use the crate correctly.  Start by putting the crate with a blanket or bed inside in a place where he is comfortable. Encourage him to come inside with a treat for a few days just to get him inside. After a few days, close the door behind him for 10 minutes at a time. Then, slowly increase it until he is used to it and can stay in there for long periods of time. Make sure you buy a crate that is an appropriate size for your dog. He needs plenty of space to move around and be comfortable. He should be able to stand normally without a hunched back and be able to turn around comfortably while in the crate. The crate does not have to be bigger than this. Your beagle should be happy and energetic, which means he needs to exercise every day. This includes two walks that last at least 20 minutes a piece. If you beagle is a puppy or elderly, the walks can be shorter at 15 minutes or less. You can also play interactive games with your beagles, such as fetch or Frisbee. Your beagle is a social animal since he was originally bred to be in packs. This means you need to socialize your dog with other dogs as well as other humans. Take him to a dog park or a community park so he can play with other dogs and can meet other people as well.  He, like other beagles, will love to play and will...

TL;DR in English: Potty train your dog. Crate train your dog. Exercise your dog. Socialize your dog.

Sometimes losing the worst people hurts you the most. You had good times, though. They were cool, fun, and funny when you were friends. Losing them, no matter how bad things got, is going to feel like ripping off a bandage. It hurts, and it stings in the open air, but it's for the best.  Your friend might not take it well. One or both of you might end up crying, begging, or flying off in rage. But whatever the current emotions, they do not erase the reasons you had for ending things. You're going to feel guilty, end of story. Just remember that, no matter how broken your relationship may have been, it's normal to feel responsible for the death of a good thing. It will pass with time. It isn't doing you or anyone else any favors. Chances are good that your friend will be angry enough for the both of you. Hurt feelings morph quickly into anger, and anger leads to doing things you'd probably rather not do. If you feel tempers rising on either side, take a step back and get out of there shortly. Like cookies on a hot tray, you'll both cool off faster when you're separated.   If your former friend tends to become aggressive when confronted, you should expect verbal or even physical backlash. End things in public, and bring a friend or write a letter if you're really worried. You're going to be angry for a while if your friend hurt you. It's normal. But don't let your anger pull you to the dark side, young padawan. Once you let the friendship go, let the emotions go as well. More likely than not, it's impossible to completely break it off, especially if you still have to see the person at school or work. Passive aggression, the great weapon of slighted friends the world over, can only hurt you if you let it. Get mentally ready to deal with some mind games in the months after you cut things off. The best defense is completely ignoring the attack.  If your former friend is passive-aggressive, expect back-stabbing behavior after you break off the friendship. Try and remember that it is, in the end, kind of your fault...

TL;DR in English: Brace yourself for the sadness of a lost friendship. Contain your anger. Prepare your defenses for incoming passive-aggression. Accept the friends who don't take your side. Meet some new people

There is no one way to process grief. Lots of people struggle, thinking they should be feeling some particular way that they're not feeling. This can cause a lot of guilt, making things worse. If you're not sure how to act, try not to worry about it as much. Do what feels natural.  Death is an inevitable part of life. Dealing with loss is never fun, but it doesn't have to be the somber affair that many make it out to be. Find time to laugh in the face of death, if it's possible. Find the humor in a bleak situation.  Grief has 5 stages, but keep in mind that this process can look very different for everyone. Having a people around you can help bring your overall mood up, even if you're not doing anything in particular. Talk about what you're going through, or talk about other things that are on your mind.  Share memories of the person you've lost. Talk about the good times and share stories. Look at old pictures. Reminisce. Sometimes it's better to avoid talking about the person or pet who died too much. It can be a good way to feel better for a while, but it can also just make it more depressing. Also take the time to talk sports, or movies, or anything else that comes up. You may need time to yourself. It's great to stay social, to reminisce, and to go through the process. But it'll be different for everyone. Try to find a personal and particular way to grieve for the person you lost. Think of the relationship you had with this person. What did you share? How can you commemorate that relationship? What could you do that would make you feel better? Let grief make you busy, and let your business make you happier. Spend your time focusing on an obsession or an interest. Get busy being productive, and let your grief turn into productivity.  If you love sports, practice your sport several times a week. Sweat out your grief. If you love fashion and beauty, start a blog and write about clothing or products. Explore new ways of enjoying your passion. If you enjoy playing instruments, learn a new song, or pick up a...

TL;DR in English: Don't worry about doing it the "right" way. Surround yourself with people who care about you. Find your own way to grieve. Get invested in something you love. Get out of the house regularly.

Collecting compostable material requires little additional work—you simply place organic items, such as food waste and scraps in a collection container separate from your trash can. While you may purchase a designated indoor compost bin, many people collect their food scraps and waste in repurposed plastic food containers, trash cans, or compostable bags. After preparing or eating meals, place your food scraps into a compost collection bin.  Acceptable items include table scraps, fruit, vegetables, and eggshells. These items are considered “green” waste as opposed to “brown” waste. If you are participating in a public or private program, only place approved compostable materials in your bin. If you are composting in your backyard, do not save meat and fish products for your compost pile—these items attract rodents and pests. Store your collection bin under the kitchen sink, on the kitchen counter, in your fridge, or in your freezer. If you are composting in your backyard, your pile should include about 50% green waste or manure. These items, which introduce nitrogen into your pile, serve as a catalyst to the compost process. Table scraps and food waste are just two forms of green manure. Other green waste items include:  Grass clippings Clover Buckwheat Wheatgrass Coffee Grounds Tea leaves or tea bags Store these items in an outdoor yard waste bin. Brown waste should make up the other 50% of your compost pile. The brown waste adds carbon to your compost pile. You may find brown waste items both inside your home and outside in your yard. These items include:  Shredded newspaper Shredded paper Shredded brown paper bags Dead branches Twigs Leaves Straw Untreated sawdust

TL;DR in English: Gather organic food waste and scraps. Collect green manure. Set aside brown waste for your compost pile.

This is the standard French translation of the English “goodbye,” and it can be used in both casual and formal settings, with strangers and friends alike.  When said as a phrase, au revoir is usually translated directly to "goodbye." The phrase translates more closely to "to see again" or "to meet again," however.  Au translates into "to." Revoir translates into see again, meet again, or revise.  Pronounce au revoir as oh ruh-vwah. You can use salut as a way of saying “bye” when among friends or in other casual settings.  Avoid using salut in formal settings. Also note that salut can be used to greet someone as well as saying farewell. The term has a variety of translations, including "greeting," "salute," and "all the best." Pronounce salut as sah-lyoo. ” While adieu is no longer as common as it once was, it can still be used in most contexts as a way of saying farewell.  Use "adieu" sparingly; this phrase means "goodbye forever" and is generally only used when you will never see this person again in your life. This phrase can also be said upon your last visit with someone who's dying.  A translates into “to,” and Dieu means “God.” Translated more literally, this phrase says “to God” and is the same thing as saying “go with God” or “Godspeed.” A rough pronunciation of adieu would be ah-dyoo ("oo" as in "book")

TL;DR in English:


Hold the syringe by its flange. Over-fill the syringe. Release the plunger until it is at the mark you need to measure by. Read from the top ring of the plunger.

. Perhaps the easiest and most direct way of being a good big brother or big sister is taking the time to ask your sibling how their day went and listening to what they have to say. Try to pull your sibling aside once a day and have a brief conversation with them especially if they are an adolescent or in their early teen years. Often, younger siblings want to be acknowledged and listened to by those they look up to.   Practice active listening in your conversations with your sibling, whether it's a brief check in talk with them or a heart to heart. Treat the conversation as a learning opportunity, where you get to know your sibling better and have a meaningful discussion. Focus your attention fully on your sibling and let them speak without interruption. Acknowledge what they told you and respond thoughtfully and without judgement. This will keep the conversation open and encourage them to confide in you more often. Though siblings tend to squabble and have small fights, you should make an effort to avoid having big, dramatic arguments with your sibling. This may mean being the bigger person and letting your sibling have the victory for a trivial fight. You should also try to offer your sibling a compromise, where you get a little bit of what you want and they get a little bit of what they want. This will help them to feel supported and respected by you, but it will also help them learn that they cannot always get  their way. If you're unable to resolve a conflict on your own, ask an authority figure for guidance, such as an older friend, an older family member, or parent. This will show your sibling that you're not afraid to ask for help when you need it. Your sibling will likely experience a range of trials and tribulations, and they may confront a difficult challenge of some kind or even fail in their attempt to do something great. Rather than shame your sibling for their failure or make them  feel bad about messing up, you should comfort  them and support them.   Comfort your sibling by telling them  to...

TL;DR in English: Be a good listener Resolve conflicts in a mature and honest way. Comfort your sibling when they confronts a challenge or fails. Respect your sibling's boundaries and their autonomy. Give your sibling advice based on your own personal experience.

If you tend to sweat a lot or are prone to rashes or chafing, boxers allow for better airflow. For the best fit under clothing, choose a pair that has shorter, slimmer legs and a stretch-band waist.  Boxers aren’t the best choice if you wear a lot of slim-fitting pants, such as suit trousers or skinny jeans. Boxers offer little support, so be sure that’s not important to you before choosing them. If you have thicker thighs, underwear styles with legs, such as boxer or boxer briefs, tend to ride up during wear. That can cause rolls that show through your clothing. Instead, choose briefs to keep the extra material away from your legs. A cross between briefs and boxers, boxer briefs offer a slim fit and more support than boxers. They are especially comfortable for a larger backside because the stretch allows them to provide more coverage than briefs do so you won’t be tugging at your underwear all day. Boxer briefs are also a comfortable option if you are tall because their higher waistband doesn’t slip down beneath the waistline of your pants when you bend over. Boxer trunks, or hipsters, are a shorter version of boxer briefs, which usually sit at the mid- to upper-thigh. They are a comfortable option if you have a slim build because there isn’t much bunching under your clothing. If you have thicker thighs, boxer trunks aren’t usually a good option because they can ride up as you move.

TL;DR in English: Go with boxers for breathability. Opt for briefs if you have larger thighs. Pick boxer briefs if you have a large backside. Select boxer trunks for a slim build.

This type of canner heats the jars of food to 240 °F (116 °C), which is necessary in order to ensure that all the bacteria and other contaminants are killed. Since meat is a low acid food, and does not contain natural preservatives, using a pressure canner is the only safe way to can it.  Pressure canners are available new at kitchen supply stores, but you may be able to borrow one or find a used one online. Consider getting a jar lifter to use with the canner. This tool is used for moving the jars out of the steaming water when the canning process is complete. Do not use a simple bath canner to can meat. Bath canners do not raise the internal temperature of the meat to a high enough level to kill the contaminants. Canning jars are made of glass and come in convenient sizes. You can buy new jars or reuse old ones, but make sure the lids are new. Reusing old lids isn't safe, since they won't properly seal the second time around. Jars come in quarts, pints and half pints. Choose the size that fits the needs of your family. It makes sense to can a meal's worth of meat in one jar. Before you start canning, take the time to set up your work area in the kitchen. Be sure the surfaces you'll be using are clean. Lay out your cutting board and knife, paper towels and some vinegar for wiping the rims of the jars. Place your jars within reach of the cutting board so you'll be able to transfer the meat to them right away. Keep the lids and rings away from the meat area to prevent them from getting bits of fat or grease on them. When used correctly, modern pressure canners rarely cause the types of accidents that older models used to cause. They have safety features in place to prevent them from exploding with pressure buildup. That said, it's important to handle the machine with care. Take the following precautions before you start canning:  Keep children and pets away from the kitchen. The machine gets very hot, and a small child could pull it down from the counter. Kids and pets underfoot could cause you to trip and...

TL;DR in English: Get a pressure canner. Use canning jars and lids. Set up your workspace. Take safety precautions.

Although there may be food options at the festival, spending money for each meal will add up, and the lines will often be very long. Pack perishable foods, such as hot dogs, hamburgers, and vegetables, in a cooler stocked with ice. If you plan to cook, purchase a portable gas stove that runs on batteries. Bring nonperishable snacks, such as peanut and jelly butter sandwiches, nutrition bars, and nuts to snack on during the day.  Great festival foods include pre-made pasta salads, dehydrated meals, fresh fruits and vegetables, chips and salsa, and protein bars. Set a food schedule for yourself and ration each day to avoid running out of food. Don't forget to bring coffee for the mornings! Find a tent that will accommodate your group, or buy a one-person tent if you want to sleep alone. Visit an online retailer like Amazon, or visit a sporting good store to pick out your tent in person. Decorate your tent however you want, as this is a great way to be festive and spice up your campsite. Even if you are camping at a festival during warmer months, use a sleeping bag in your tent for maximum comfort. Lay your sleeping pad down on the floor of your tent, and place your sleeping bag on top of the pad. The sleeping bag will bring you warmth if it gets cold, and will keep you comfortable while you sleep.  If you are camping during the spring or during a time where it gets cold, purchase a sleeping bag that specializes in warming your body. If your festival is happening during the summer, purchase a warm weather sleeping bag to keep you cool. Pillows may seem like a luxury item but they make camping much more comfortable. Put the pillow in between your backpack and your back to carry it into the festival. You can also find small, compressible camping pillows online or at a sporting goods store. Especially if your festival is during the summer months, provide yourself some shade and shelter to make your campsite more comfortable. Use the canopy as a place to congregate with friends during breaks from the festivities,...

TL;DR in English: Bring plenty of food and cooking tools. Purchase a tent to sleep in if it is a camping festival. Bring a sleeping bag and sleeping pad. Bring a pillow to sleep on. Consider bringing a canopy for your campsite. Pack for the drive home, too.

Grasp the syringe by the winged parts located on the end of the syringe opposite from the tip. This is known as the flange. Holding the syringe this way makes it so your fingers won't be in the way while you try to read the syringe. Holding the syringe this way is also important for super-precise, scientific measurements, to ensure that your body heat from your fingers doesn't distort the material you're measuring in the syringe. For everyday measurements (like home medications), you don't need to worry about body heat distortion. Always use a syringe that is larger than the amount you need to measure. Insert the needle into the liquid you want to measure, then slowly pull back on the plunger until the syringe is filled past the mark for the amount you need to measure. For instance, if you are measuring out 3 milliliters (0.10  fl oz) of a children's medication, use a 5 milliliters (0.17  fl oz) or larger syringe. Pull the plunger back until the liquid fills the syringe past the 3 mL mark. Still holding the syringe in your hand, slowly push down on the end of the plunger with your thumb until its edge is even with the point you need to measure by. For instance, if you are measuring 3 milliliters (0.10  fl oz) of a medication, push the plunger down until it is even with the 3 mL mark. No matter what syringe you use, always look at the part of the plunger closest to the tip when reading it. This will be the part touching the liquid that you are measuring. The part of the plunger closest to the top of the syringe is irrelevant and not meant to be used for measuring

TL;DR in English:


Create a safe training space where you can observe your form. Warm up. Assume the Horse Stance. Practice basic strikes from the Horse Stance. Assume a basic Fighting Stance. Learn basic punching. Learn blocking. Practice basic kicks. Practice changing stances. Practice shadowboxing or use a punching bag.

Acronyms provide a word to help you remember a larger set of information. They help your brain encode and recall the information. Acronyms are a shorthand way to remind yourself of complex information through a simple image or word.  One of the most common single-word acronyms people use is ASAP, which stands for as soon as possible, or NASA, which stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Many times acronyms become so well known that the meaning of the acronym becomes a new word itself, such as with SNAFU or Taser. An acronym is the shortest form of a mnemonic device, but you can also make a sentence that helps you to remember a stream of words or information. Developing your own mnemonic devices that are specific to your interests and knowledge will be the most effective way of using this memory aid.  For example, a simple sentence that helps children remember the order of the 4 directions on the compass might be: Never Eat Soggy Worms. You can see how the first letters of these words (N, E, S, W) align with the first letters of the 4 directions (North, East, South, West) in an easier-to-remember fashion. For people with strengths in visual and spatial memory, the imagined construction of a location (such as a house or “palace”) with mnemonic devices throughout can help to develop a strong memory of even detailed events or information. You can start by using your own home as a tool to memorize something commonplace, such as a shopping list.  In your imagination, place the items you’ll need at the store in a variety of places throughout the house. For example, consciously imagine placing a bunch of bananas on the coffee table, a loaf of bread on the chair nearby, and a bag of coffee on top of the television. Then, at the store, visualize walking through the created image of your home with these items in it. Try adding items, adding rooms, as your ability to remember increases. You can also try this process by placing your mental attention along a familiar walking route, fixing items along...

TL;DR in English: Create acronyms to aid your memory. Use mnemonic devices. Build a memory palace. Try mind mapping.

If your dog's ears are often bitten by flies, apply a thin coating of petroleum jelly to the area. Squirt a small amount of petroleum jelly into your hand and rub it into both sides of your dog's ears. This will prevent flies from landing there again and give your dog's wounds time to heal. Open bite wounds can attract more flies, so applying petroleum jelly to your dog's ears is important to prevent more irritation. If you want to avoid spraying your dog with chemical repellents, mix 1 cup (240 ml) of apple cider vinegar and 1 cup (240 ml) of mineral oil with 1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 ml)  of the following essential oils: citronella, lemongrass, bitter orange, eucalyptus, and clove. Finish the mixture with 2 cups (470 ml) of dish soap, then mix 1 part of the natural fly repellent with 5 parts water. Spray your dog with the fly repellent, targeting areas that flies often land on.  Keep in mind that this repellent isn't proven to be safe or effective. Hangable fly traps stay out of a dog's reach while catching any flies that may be in the house. If, for whatever reason, you are against fly traps, purchase a Venus flytrap or other carnivorous plant to naturally lower your fly infestation.  Venus flytraps can be grown outdoors or by a windowsill. They require routine care and maintenance to keep healthy. Citronella is a scent that's safe for dogs and that insects find repellant. If you would prefer not to kill flies, purchase several citronella candles and use them in the rooms your dog most often frequents.  Other citronella-based fragrances, like essential oils or cleaning sprays, can also repel insects but flies find smoke most repulsive. Never leave your candle unattended or low enough that your pet could knock it over. Not all fly repellents are pet-safe, so read the instructions carefully before purchasing one for your pet. Avoid buying fly repellents that are not explicitly made for dogs. Apply the fly repellent to your dog or its belongings daily or as instructed by the fly repellent to keep flies far from your...

TL;DR in English: Apply petroleum jelly to your dog's ears. Make a fly repellent from vinegar, mineral oil, and scented essential oils. Hang up fly traps or buy fly-trapping plants. Light a few citronella candles in your home. Buy a pet-safe chemical fly repellent. Ask your veterinarian about prescribed balms or dog-safe cleaners. Avoid fly repellents that are not specifically dog-safe.

The best way to keep your toilet bowl clean is to not let it get out of hand in the first place. Get in the habit of swirling the walls of the bowl with a toilet brush  once or twice a day after every few uses, using a squirt of toilet bowl cleaner or a misting with a spray bottle of vinegar as needed. This will cut down significantly on the need for more frequent cleanings.  Plan on giving the inside of your toilet a good scrubbing at least once every couple of weeks.  Stash some toilet bowl cleaner in a nearby spot so that you’ll always have some on hand. Most people are already familiar with this simple trick, but it’s one that goes a long way in minimizing the amount of attention your toilet bowl needs. Following a routine cleaning, add a few ounces of liquid toilet cleaner to the tank. The cleaner will run into the bowl with each flush, killing bacteria and eliminating residue even after repeated uses.  If you do this consistently enough, you’ll find that there’s hardly anything to worry about when it comes time to clean again. Running toilet bowl cleaner through the tank will also help break down mineral deposits and other gunk collecting in the siphon jets. Toilet cleaners are sold in dissolving tablet form, as well. Simply drop one of these into the tank every so often and go about your day. . It won’t make a difference how often you scrub your toilet if you’re doing it with a dirty brush. To revitalize a toilet brush that has seen better days, fill the brush holder with a mixture of all-purpose cleaner and water. That way, it you’ll be able to effortlessly sanitize it between uses.  Hydrogen peroxide will also provide a useful option for disinfecting toilet brushes that see a lot of action. Replace the toilet brushes in all of your bathrooms once a year, or as soon as they start looking like they’re in bad shape.

TL;DR in English: Clean your toilet regularly. Pour some toilet cleaner into the tank. Disinfect your toilet brush

Countering is when a player sneaks in from the corner of the court and very quickly moves toward the neutral zone to attack an opposing player. It’s a risky move, and it can only be performed by a single (and brave) countering player. If you’re countering, be speedy and go for the element of surprise.  Reserve countering for when you’ve only got a single ball on your side.  Countering is a good move to break out after there’s been an elimination. Players might be distracted, and this is the time to strike! Because counters are all about speed, they’re hard to dodge. You may not be able to jump fast or high enough straight up into the air to get away from this ball. Do a back dive or side-jump to avoid these tough throws. Be extremely careful when you do a back dive. These dangerous moves could injure you, especially if you hit your head on the ground. Try and absorb the fall on the fleshy part of your bottom, and keep your head and neck up off the floor. This tricky move is called the “butterfly and the bee.” Throw one ball up in the air to confuse your opponents. While their attention is on that ball, throw a second ball straight at them. Dodgeball can be a fun and even quirky game. If you’re in a league that allows cartwheels and coordinated jumps, do them! You’ll have fun with these slightly weird strategies, and they’ll confuse your opponents.  Time a group jump or a cartwheel by using a codeword. Make sure that these moves don’t get you eliminated. Only do them if you’re sure you can dodge balls while you’re distracting the other team with your unexpected skills. This is called a drop-catch. Hold the ball you’ve got in front of you, inviting the other team to target you. Drop the ball, and catch a ball that’s been thrown at you. Only do this if it looks like you’ll be able to catch one of the incoming balls. Otherwise, continue dodging the balls, or keep hold of the ball you’ve got to block them.

TL;DR in English: Have a corner player ready to counter opponents. Dive or side-jump to dodge countering. Eliminate your opponent by distracting them with two balls. Add distractions to your game plan. Trick your opponents into throwing you a ball you can catch.

Choose an area with plenty of clearance from furniture and other obstructions. Place a standing mirror (or, failing that, a long mirror propped against a wall) where you can see yourself as you practice. If needed, place your computer or TV where you can easily see it so you can refer to video tutorials. Go for a quick five-minute jog around the block, do some jumping jacks, or any other light exercise to get the blood flowing. Then do some stretching to limber up so your body is nice and flexible. Finish with some push-ups and sit-ups to wake your body up for some serious action. Face the mirror. Spread your feet so they’re three to four feet apart. Sink into a squat until your hips are only a little bit higher than your knees. Straighten your spine by leaning your upper torso slightly backward. Make sure you can see from your hips up to your head in the mirror. It's like sitting in a chair without the chair.  Use the Horse Stance to lower and stabilize your center of gravity when practicing strikes and punches with your arms. Keep your posture straight in order to keep your body and muscles properly aligned. This stance is intended to be difficult to hold. Practice it in 30 second increments at first with 1-2 minutes rest in between, then try to hold the position for longer and longer. Practicing your Horse Stance every day will help you quickly strengthen your core and leg muscles and will make you more a powerful and stable martial artist. To learn kung fu quickly, stick with the simplest moves. When you first attempt a new strike, move in slow-motion. Concentrate on form. As the movement becomes more natural, requiring less thought on your part, gradually speed up the action from rep to rep until you’re striking with full force. As your endurance builds, increase the number of strikes per rep. Start off with the Straight Punch, one of the most basic moves, if not THE most basic move:  With each hand, form a fist with your thumb closed over the outside of your index finger. With your arms close to your...

As you plan out the humorous aspects of your short, funny story, it may be helpful to pull together things that you find funny from every aspect of your life. It can be personal, political, cultural - whatever you find funny, jot down notes on the story (the actual plot), the situation (what your story is actually about - for example, the dynamics of friendship), and why you find it funny.  Try keeping a notebook of ideas and inspiration. Write down funny things you see and hear, or any ideas that come to mind. Don't be afraid to draw on humorous elements of your own life and your friends' lives. Your funny, short story doesn't need to be 100% autobiographical, but incorporating bits and pieces of awkward or funny situations from your own life can bring a sense of personality to your work. Keep up on current events. You may not end up writing a story about world news or celebrity gossip, but you may find inspiration or even ways to directly draw plot elements from real events that are culturally relevant. Comedy requires a certain level of honesty on the part of the comedian. The same is true of writing, so it makes sense that you should be honest with yourself as a writer of short, funny stories. Before you sit down to write your story, you should have a firm sense of what you think/believe about the world so that your humorous observations and writing in general can stem from that element of yourself.  You wouldn't tell a political joke to your friends without taking some stance on the matter, so why try to be unbiased in your written humor? Don't be so abrasive that your humor would alienate people who disagree with you, but make sure that you at least know where you stand on certain issues so that you can find the situational humor in them. If you're struggling to write a short, funny story, it might be helpful to seek outside inspiration. Inspiration can come in many forms, but the best ways to get inspired for a project like this involve immersing yourself in funny stories (both written and visual). ...

TL;DR in English: Draw humor from everywhere. Have your own firm opinions and beliefs. Look for inspiration. Know how to construct a joke. Use humor sparingly.

Vaccine bottle disposal can differ from region to region, so check your local and state or provincial laws regarding how to dispose of empty vials. If you are not required to dispose of them in biomedical waste containers, disinfect them in a bucket filled with 50 milliliters (1.7  fl oz) of glutaraldehyde per every 5 liters (1.3 US gal) water.  Allow the bottles to remain in the disinfectant for at least 5 minutes before rinsing them in fresh, clean water. If you have leftover vaccines, call the manufacturer or your vet's office for proper storage and disposal instructions. Some operations recycle vials and bottles and use them for sample collections. This can be done by first following the standard disinfection process for vaccine vials and bottles. After disinfecting, autoclave the containers to make sure that they are fully sterilized.  If you do not have access to an autoclave or live in an area that does not permit vaccine bottle recycling, safely dispose of the vials in the trash after disinfecting them. If your region requires vaccine bottles to be treated as biomedical waste, contact your vet or local disease control office to schedule drop-off and pick-up for an appropriate waste receptacle. It is always important to keep an eye on your chickens after you have vaccinated them. Look for any signs that something might be wrong. If you notice signs of illness including lethargy, discharge around the eyes or nose, large pimples with thick cores, cough, or a high temperature, call a vet right away. For respiratory vaccinations, it is normal for the chickens to develop respiratory issues like sneezing for 3 to 5 days after they get vaccinated. If the signs persist for longer than that, call a vet.

TL;DR in English: Disinfect and dispose of all empty vaccine vials and bottles. Throw away or recycle your vials and bottles. Monitor your chickens’ health.

You're entitled to whatever feelings come up.  You may experience intense anger, guilt, denial, sorrow, and fear, all of which are normal for a bereaved parent. Nothing is off the table, nothing is wrong. If the urge to cry comes up, just do it. Give yourself permission to feel. Keeping your emotions bottled up is just way too hard. If you keep your emotions inside, you'll only make yourself feel worse about the saddest thing you have ever experienced. It's perfectly natural and even healthy to let yourself feel everything you can about this loss, because this will put you on the path to accepting it. You won't ever fully be able to get over it, but you'll be able to build the strength to deal with the death of your child. If you don't embrace your feelings, you won't be able to move forward. There is no timetable to your grieving process. Every individual is just that: an individual.  Bereaved parents may experience many of the same emotions and difficulties; however, each parent's journey is different depending on personality and life circumstances.  For years, we relied on the popular notion that people progress through five stages of grief that begin with denial and end with acceptance. The new thinking is that there is no series of steps to be completed in the grieving process. Instead, people experience a grab bag of feelings and symptoms that come and go and eventually lift. In a recent research study, scientists learned that many people accept the death of a loved one right from the beginning and report more yearning for the lost individual than feelings of anger or depression. Because the grieving process is so personal to each individual, couples sometimes find themselves at odds because they can't understand the other's way of dealing with the loss. Understand that your spouse may have different coping mechanisms than you do and allow them to grieve in the way that suits them. During the grieving process, many people will experience a state of numbness. In this state, the world may seem like a...

TL;DR in English: Embrace all of your feelings and emotions. Throw out the timetable. Don't worry about numbness. Take time off from work or not. Turn to your faith if you can. Delay decision making. Trust in time.

If you want to interpret a dream, you need to record the details. This will help you look at the dream objectively to find meaning. As soon as you wake up, jot down as much as you can remember.  Keep a journal by your bed. Many people find they forget details of dreams shortly after waking up. Jot down everything you remember. Track specifics, like colors, shapes, sounds, words, and so on. The more detailed of a description you leave, the easier it will be to interpret the dream's meaning. The biggest key to interpreting a dream is considering your own feelings. Dreams are highly personal. How you respond to the symbols in dreams says a lot about what those symbols mean for you on a personal level. If you're dreaming about seals, record your feelings in these dreams. How do the seals make you feel?  Think about how you're feeling upon waking up. Do you feel peaceful and rested? Or do you feel anxious and unhappy? If you're fixated on the seals, think about them specifically. How did you feel when the seals entered your dreams? Were they frightening and ominous or were they friendly? Did they put you at ease, or make you nervous? Try to get in touch with your dream self. As you remember and record the dream, try to remember any specific thoughts you had during the dream. These can be major clues when it comes to interpreting the dream.  Do you remember having any thoughts in the dream? For example, say you were being chased by the seals. Did you think anything like, "I'm not going to make it" or "They're gong to attack me"? Try to connect these thoughts to thoughts you have throughout the day. Dreams are often a reflection of your current situation or struggles. Think about any moments during the day in which you had similar thoughts to those in your dream. You may realize the seals represent something from your actual life. Oftentimes, we are not ourselves in our dreams. You also may find that you're playing a role you would not normally play in life. For example, you may be aggressive in your dream while you...

TL;DR in English: Write down all the details. Record your feelings. Identify your thoughts. Think about your personal role in the dream.

Because back pain can have so many different causes, it is important to talk with your doctor before starting any exercise or treatment regimen. This is particularly important if you have suffered a major injury like a fall or a car crash. Some injuries or causes of back pain must be treated with rehabilitation therapy and medication. It is important to let your regular doctor know about any treatments and steps you are taking to relieve your back pain. This will ensure that your doctor is able to give you the most effective care. If your back pain is not the result of a serious injury, returning to normal movement after a few days will help you recover from short-term back pain faster. Unless recommended by your doctor, try to avoid more than 3 days of bed rest. Always consult with your doctor before returning to your normal activities. If you have serious injuries or trauma, trying to “tough it out” could result in re-injury or further trauma. Low-impact aerobic exercises, such as swimming, walking, and biking, can relieve chronic back pain. Exercise may aggravate acute back pain, however, so do not begin an exercise regimen immediately. Usually, it is safe to begin an exercise program after 4-8 weeks.  Do not put extra pressure or strain on your back muscles immediately. Exercises that can strain your lower back include leg curls on exercise machines, straight-leg sit ups, and toe touches. Gradually strengthen and tone your muscles, and don’t try too much at once. When possible, work with a professional to create a personalized exercise plan. Your doctor, physical therapist, personal trainer, or exercise physiologist can help you figure out what exercises are right for you. Improving your body’s  flexibility may help reduce pain. Stretching exercises and yoga have been shown to reduce back pain and keep it from recurring. Below are a few exercises to try.  Lie on your back with your legs together. Bend your knees. Lay your arms to your sides. Roll your knees to one side of your body, keeping your arms at...

TL;DR in English:


If you feel you made a painful mistake by having the relationship, allow the pain to stop you from making the same mistake in the future.  There are reasons for certain rules in life. Following them will steer you toward pleasure and away from pain. Follow this simple yet profound principle to ensure a bright future. Relying on yourself will help you cope with the dissolution of a relationship. You know what makes you happy, so participate in activities that increase positive feelings. Psychologists and Psychiatrists are available in your local area and can be located through the American Psychological Association    and the American Psychiatric Association.. You are here to live life and enjoy it. Standing up for yourself will remind you that you deserve to be happy, and the world will notice. When you reach a level of healing after a bad experience, other people perceive a positive change. You sent up a flare to signal that you are ready for good things to happen. People might say things like, “Did you do something different? You look great.” Your response can be, “Thank you. Yes, I decided to be happy and it is working for me.”

TL;DR in English: Learn from your mistakes. Be self-reliant in your coping strategies. Seek professional help to identify the behaviors you would like to change if you are struggling with doing it yourself. Stand up for yourself and the life you want.

Each day, remove dead insects and use a cloth to wipe down any feces on the side of the tank or on objects. Every couple of weeks to once a month, you should do a thorough cleaning of the tank. Remove and replace all of the substrate. You should also wash and disinfect the tank with a reptile disinfectant.  Avoid using regular household disinfectant for this. Visit a pet store or order reptile disinfectant online to keep your gecko healthy. Move the gecko to a dark, quiet, safe area while you clean. Placing them in a dark and quiet environment can help reduce their stress during the process. You can use an extra aquarium or large box. Place it in a dark room and close the door. Tokays shed their skins several times during their lives. They like to eat the skin as it sheds, so in most cases you won't need to intervene. If you notice stubborn bits clinging to your gecko, place a small box close to one of the heating sources in the aquarium. Dampen several paper towels and place them inside the box.  The damp towels turn the box into a humid enclosure for your gecko. The gecko will hang out in the box overnight and by morning, the stubborn skin will be gone or can be easily removed. Tokay geckos do not like to be handled. They will bite you if they have not been tamed. Only handle your Tokay gecko if you absolutely have to. When you pick it up, try using a glove or a cloth over your hand to protect it from a bite.  If you want to use your bare hands, make sure to wash them well with hot water and soap before and after handling. Never pick your gecko up by the tail because it can detach. Instead, pick it up from the middle. Try to get the gecko to sit on your hand every day for 30 seconds or so without you having to restrain it or hold it in place. Work your way up to longer sessions from there. If your gecko seems a bit freaked out or tries to bite you, scale back the sessions and slowly work back up to longer sessions.  This is a long, slow process. It will takes months to gain its trust. In some cases, it may...

TL;DR in English: Clean the tank often. Up the humidity overnight if shedding skin is clinging to your gecko. Handle your gecko only if you have to. Tame your gecko slowly with short, positive handling sessions. Watch out for signs of lethargy, cloudy eyes, and poor appetite.

You don't need to stock up on fancy cat toys to have fun. You may have something your cat would love just lying around the house. If you have any ping pong balls, or similar types of balls, your kitten will love playing with these. Bounce a ping pong ball against the wall and allow your kitten to chase it. Ping pong balls bounce easily, so they'll move around fast. This is sure to attract a kitten's attention. Place a small plush toy under a blanket. Wiggle it around so your kitten thinks it's a mouse or other animal. Your kitten will pounce on the toy and get plenty of fun playing a game like this.  For an even more economical cat toy, you can also make balls out of crumpled paper. This DIY cat toy creates a rustling noise that cats are evolved to pay attention to due to its likeness to the rustling sounds made by small animals e.g. in a bush. Also, the imperfection in the roundness randomizes how it will roll on the floor. Unlike a ping pong ball, a paper ball would not travel too far, so this limits the playing into a smaller area and makes playtime easier to manage. However, make sure it's an old blanket if your kitten is not declawed. Kitten claws can seriously damage fabrics. You may not want to play this game if you let your kitten sleep in your bed. This may encourage your kitten to pounce on your feet while you're trying to sleep. If you get home from the grocery store, place a paper bag on the ground. Many kittens love playing in paper bags. You can take a small toy and poke the sides of the paper bag with it. This will give your cat something to play with inside the paper bag. You can also set down a paper bag while playing with a ribbon or string with your cat. The kitten will use the paper bag as a hiding spot from which to jump out at their prey. Kittens love play hunting. In the wild, play is a form of practice for hunting later in life. Your kitten will love having small plush toys to stalk. Choose toys big enough for your kitten to carry in its mouth.  You can throw these toys around for your...

TL;DR in English: Use a ping pong ball. Hide a stuffed toy under a blanket. Let your kitten play in a paper bag. Provide your kitten with plush toys. Use trial and error to figure out what your kitten likes.

Angina is chest pain that can feel like a slight pressure, a burning, or a fullness. It is often mistaken for heartburn. Angina can be a sign of coronary heart disease, which is the most common cause of heart attacks. If you feel any type of pain in your chest, it's best to get it checked out right away.  Most angina pain occurs in the chest. However, it may also occur in the arms, shoulders, neck, jaw, throat, or back. It may be hard to tell exactly where you're feeling the pain.  Angina pain usually gets better once you've rested for a few minutes. If your chest pain lasts for more than a few minutes or doesn't improve with rest or angina medication, seek emergency medical assistance.  Some people experience angina after exercising, and it's not always a sign of disease or a heart attack. A change in normal patterns is the most important thing to watch for. If you have what you believe to be painful indigestion, you may actually be experiencing angina. Make an appointment with your doctor to determine the cause of the pain. Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms, and they're present in at least 90% of people who have heart attacks. If you have a fluttering feeling in your chest or feel like your heart “skipped a beat,” you may have an arrhythmia. See a specialist who can conduct testing to determine the cause of your symptoms.  Arrhythmia may also display more serious symptoms, such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, rapid or pounding heartbeat, shortness of breath, and chest pain. If you experience any of these symptoms with arrhythmia, seek emergency medical assistance.  Although arrhythmia is very common, especially in older adults, it can be a sign of severe medical issues. Do not simply ignore an arrhythmia. Consult with your physician to be sure you do not have a more serious condition. In older people, these symptoms may actually be a sign of heart problems. Seek medical attention if you experience unexplainable cognitive difficulties. Women are more likely than men to experience unusual,...

TL;DR in English: Seek medical attention for angina. Determine whether you have an arrhythmia. Be aware of disorientation, confusion, and stroke-like symptoms. Look for unusual fatigue.

Sprinkle a bit into your shoes every night when you take them off. Before you put your shoes on in the morning, take the shoes outside and clap the soles together to get rid of excess powder.

TL;DR in English:


Make time to talk about you. Share your feelings.

Check with building officials and local codes to ensure that you won't break any laws.  Every city is different and yours may have certain codes which only allow a certain type of fire pit. Get in contact with the planning offices in your area to see if any restrictions apply. Your pit should be far away from any flammable structure.  With an in-ground fire pit you need to make sure it’s built in a clear area. It should be a safe distance away from your home, deck, overhangs, trees, etc. You should also keep your fire pit away from heat sensitive plants, dry grass, bales of hay, open firewood, and other materials that could ignite. If you don’t already have your in-ground fire pit built, check wind patterns in the area before you build. You want to position your pit so that it doesn’t blow smoke into your home. You may want to position your fire pit in an out-of-the-way place for late night intimate gatherings. Or, you may want it more centrally located to encourage conversation and interaction between your guests.  Wherever you decide to place it, make sure that you pick a safe location. If you haven’t built the in-ground fire pit, make sure you pick a place that will stay clear of any plant life for years. It’s best to pick an open flat area for your guests as well. If you are on a slope it might be more uncomfortable to sit around the pit. If you are in a more enclosed area, smoke from the pit might be an issue. The easiest way to get a fire going in your in-ground fire pit is to sort your wood, kindling, and tinder.   To help you build the best fire, sort your materials by size. Place all your large logs together, followed by your smaller logs, kindling, and tinder. If you plan to cook any food over your fire, don’t use any starter logs or gels. These items contain chemicals which get into the smoke and can get on your food. If there’s any moisture in the wood, especially the larger logs, it will be harder to start your fire.  You can easily find tinder in your own yard from dry grass and leaves that...

TL;DR in English: Make sure you can legally use an in-ground fire pit in your home. Take a good look around your yard or patio when positioning your fire pit. Consider how you want your guests to interact. Gather your materials for a fire. Make sure that you use dry wood. Place your materials in your fire pit. Light the fire. Maintain your fire. Put out your fire.

To further deodorize the area, you can use some other household products. Baking soda can be used to absorb any remaining vinegar and further remove smells. Sprinkle baking soda liberally over the soiled area. Hydrogen peroxide mixed with baking soda with create a foaming action that is very effective at removing odors. Create a solution from 0.5 cups (120 ml) of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of dish soap. Pour this solution over the baking soda and allow it to foam. Using a scrub brush, work the baking soda and peroxide solution deep into the stain. Then blot the area with a paper towel to remove as much of the solution as you can. Allow the area to dry. This removes any lingering baking soda, as well as any lingering smell. A wet vac works best, but a traditional vacuum cleaner can be used in a pinch. Avoid using a steam cleaner, as this can actually further set the stain.

TL;DR in English: Cover the area with baking soda and let sit for 1 hour. Pour a mixture of 0.5 cups of hydrogen peroxide and 1 teaspoon of dish soap on top of the baking soda. Scrub the peroxide and baking soda into the stain, then blot. Vacuum the carpet once the area is totally dry.

As you gather your data, check it against your milestones, as that tells you whether you're meeting your goals for communication. Your milestones should already be measurable, so all you need to do is see if the data matches. For instance, if one of your milestones was to engage 1,000 more customers on social media, you can check the data and see if you have that many more followers across your social media platforms.  Hopefully, you're meeting or exceeding your milestones and your data reflects that. If you are, you can continue on with your campaign as you've been doing, as it seems to be working. If not, you'll need to re-evaluate what you're doing. Sometimes, your milestones may have been too ambitious, and that's fine. You can re-establish new milestones that make more sense and are more attainable, such as lowering the number of followers on social media you want to engage in a specific amount of time. Other times, you may decide what you're doing isn't working, and you need to figure out a new communication campaign. Spend some time focusing on what needs to change so that you can be more effective. For example, if you're not having luck engaging customers on social media, you may need to change how you approach it, such as making your responses to customers more personal and engaging. Alternatively, you may decide to move those resources elsewhere to a more effective campaign. Rewards are a great way to motivate employees to meet the milestones you've set. You could use bonuses and salary bumps as rewards if you have the authority to do so. However, you could also make other fun rewards, such as an office catered dinner or party if you meet certain milestones. While it is your employees' responsibility to meet these milestones without rewards, a little external motivation can do wonders for morale!

TL;DR in English: Measure your results against the milestones you've set. Reevaluate and re-focus your milestones as needed. Establish rewards for meeting milestones to increase effectiveness.

The herpes virus can spread to your fingers and cause a type of infection known as herpes whitlow. To prevent this, do not touch the cold sore with a bare finger, suck on your finger while you have a cold sore, or otherwise put your fingers into contact with the cold sore. Even if your cold sore is painful, resist the temptation to pick at it. Instead, take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, or use a topical pain-relieving cream containing lidocaine or benzocaine. Even if you take care not to touch your cold sore, you might touch it without realizing that you did. Washing your hands frequently will help keep the virus from spreading to other areas. Since the herpes virus is most contagious when cold sores appear, if you can make them go away, then you reduce the chances of spreading the virus elsewhere on your body.  Ask your doctor about what antiviral drugs (such as Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Famciclovir, and Penciclovir) you can take to make the cold sores disappear sooner. Some antivirals are in pill form, while others are creams. For severe cases there are also injections. You can also take an over-the-counter cream (containing Docosanol) to shorten your cold sore outbreak.  If you use an antiviral cream, apply it to the cold sore while wearing a disposable glove and/or use a cotton swab. This will keep you from touching the cold sore and potentially spreading the virus.

TL;DR in English: Keep your fingers away from the cold sore(s). Wash your hands frequently. Take medications to speed the healing process.

Your egotist may tend to talk about themselves frequently and at great lengths. If you feel like your partner does not give you enough space to talk about you, address it. You deserve to have this relationship and this partner be as much of a sounding board as he expects you to be for him. Try addressing it directly, or making it more of a new pattern in your conversations.  "John, I really need to talk to you about something that is bothering me. I know you have things you want to say as well, but I really need someone to listen. Would you be willing to focus on just this problem and help me?” Bring up topics more regularly that you are interested it. You may have gotten into the habit of just listening to your partner and letting him control the conversations. Start a new pattern of conversation by interjecting with topics you are interested in or thoughts you are having. There is a solid chance that your egotistic partner is going to do or say something that makes you angry or sad at some point, because what you are doing is difficult and can be frustrating. Communication is key in any relationship, especially when you are working through some things. If you are really bothered by a particular action of your partner or by something she said, tell her. Try to add a compliment or a praise in and then tell her what upsets you, carefully and tactfully.  "Jane, I love it when you teach me how to cook. You are really good at it, and I want to learn. It just really hurts me when you tell it to me like I'm a nine year old kid." ”I understand you have a very strong opinion about this. Maybe you know more about it than I do, too. I would just really like for you to respect my opinion even if it is different than yours and not laugh at me for sharing it with you.”

TL;DR in English:


Talk to your local authorities to determine which permits you'll need. Contact your local falconry organization. Find a sponsor. Take the falconry test for your permit.

Practicing what some doctors call "scent therapy" can engage new receptors in your nose, improving your sense of smell over time. Choose several strong smells that are pleasant to you and spend a few minutes every day sniffing each one. After a few weeks, your nose will be able to pick up on these smells more easily. When you start noticing a difference, practice with more smells.   Essential oils are very useful tools when it comes to scent therapy. Chose 3 or 4 oils with smells you like, such as lemongrass, cedar, vanilla and geranium rose. You can also use raw materials to conduct scent therapy. Gather a few small jars and fill each one with a different strong-smelling substance, such as ground coffee, dried basil leaves, a few drops of your favorite floral shampoo, and so on. Keep the lids on the jars when you aren't using them so the smells stay strong. When you conduct scent therapy, you should sniff quickly, rather than deeply inhaling each scent. This way you'll avoid scent fatigue. Another form of therapy you can try is experimenting with identifying different types of smells with your eyes closed. Practicing this over the course of a few months will enhance your ability to distinguish between different smells. Close your eyes and have someone hold different substances under your nose one at a time. See if you can identify the smells.  Start by rotating smells that are quite different, like chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon, or bourbon, orange juice and peppermint tea. As you get better at distinguishing between smells, start working with smells that are more difficult to tell apart, like strawberry, cherry and raspberry, or lemon, lime and grapefruit. When you identify and describe a smell out loud, your ability to perceive it is sharpened. Make a practice of talking about smells as you experience them. Describe them out loud using specific language, the way a wine connoisseur would talk about the characteristics of different wines. Make a point of noticing and talking about everyday smells. For...

TL;DR in English: Inhale strong smells every day. Close your eyes and inhale. Describe smells out loud. Work up a sweat. Eat more zinc. Check your medication. Treat your allergies. Stop smoking.

Skipping meals, especially breakfast, causes a blood sugar drop. Besides hunger and fatigue, this causes increased sugar cravings. Eating balanced meals at regular times is one of the best ways to avoid these cravings.If you regularly get hungry during the day, pack some healthy snacks like nuts to have on the go. Studies show that exercise helps reduce cravings of all kinds, including cravings for sugar. Stay active to handle your own sugar cravings. Try to get 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days per week for the best results.  Aerobic or weight-bearing exercises have similar effects. As long as you’re staying active, you should see some positive benefits. If you’re swearing off sugar to lose weight, then getting regular exercise will help you reach that goal. Stress-eating is common, and people usually pick unhealthy, sugary foods for their stress-eating. Try to find other stress management techniques that don’t involve snacking. You have many choices, so use some stress-reducing exercises and enjoyable activities to control your stress.  Relaxation exercises like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing are great activities for stress-reduction. Any activities you enjoy also help reduce stress. Whether like knitting, playing guitar, watching movies, or playing videogames, all of these will help cut down on your stress and anxiety. Distracting your mind with enjoyable activities also distracts you from cravings.

TL;DR in English: Avoid skipping meals so your blood sugar doesn’t crash. Exercise regularly to reduce cravings. Find healthy stress-management strategies.

This method works great if you’ve just gotten out of the shower and your hair is still wet. You can also dampen your hair using a spray bottle filled with water. Having wet or damp hair will make it easier for the curls to hold. You can use pens, pencils, or even a tube of mascara. Look for a tube-shaped object that is wide enough so you can wrap your hair around it twice, as this will give you nice looking curls.  You can test out the object by taking a piece of your hair and trying to wrap it around the object. If you can get the piece around your hair twice, you’re good to use it for this method. You can also use objects that are different width, such as a pen that is skinny and a tube of mascara that is wide. This will give you some variety and allow you to use the skinner object to curl pieces of hair that are shorter. Hold the curled hair in place with one hand and use the other hand to use hair clips to secure it. Put 1 to 2 hair clips across the curled hair so it stays in place. Pincurl clips are a great option. Because you are not using any heat with this method, you need to give your hair time to set naturally. Allow your hair to dry under the scarf for several hours or sleep with the scarf on so your hair can dry during the night. Once you have let your curls set, carefully remove the hair clips one at a time. Then, use your fingers to carefully separate them so they appear lightly tousled and natural looking. You can shake them lightly or run your fingers through them. Do not brush or comb your curls, as this will flatten the curls.

TL;DR in English: Start with wet or damp hair. Use a tube-shaped object you can wrap your hair around twice. Clip the curled hair in place with hair clips. Let your hair set for 2-4 hours or overnight. Remove the hair clips and separate them with your hands.

Make sure that you use shampoo and conditioner that you like. Look at the label and make sure it’s formulated for curly hair.  Light formulas with mild moisturizers are best for looser curls and oily hair. Thicker formulas are better for tighter curls and drier hair. Tight curls or kinks will usually need a cream conditioner. Dry curls will need a conditioner with heavy moisturizers or oils. For damaged curls, buy a conditioner especially for damaged hair. Curly hair tends to see the most dryness and damage at the ends since the ends are the oldest part of the hair. Focus on conditioning the ends and then work your way up towards the roots. Use more on the ends, and very little at the roots--this will help maintain your hair’s natural shape by preventing oily buildup at the roots. Keep the conditioner in your hair for at least five minutes. You can increase the time to fifteen or twenty minutes if your hair is badly damaged or unusually dry. Rinse out your hair thoroughly, using cool water to lock in your hair’s natural oils and smooth your hair by sealing the cuticle. Run your fingers or a wide-tooth comb through your hair to detangle it while rinsing. Using a wide-tooth comb is particularly useful for tightly coiled textured hair. Many companies make leave-in conditioners or hair masks, especially for curly hair. These can give your hair additional protection and make managing your curly hair a little easier. Apply according to the package directions, leave in, and style your hair as usual. Air drying is the best way to prevent damage and frizz to curly hair. If you generally rely on blow drying to help style your hair, try other methods to curl or straighten your hair. Too much heat can damage your curly hair! If you use a curler, straightener, or hot comb, set it to the lowest temperature possible. If you use a curler, get a wide diameter one to prevent overusing it on your hair.

TL;DR in English: Choose a conditioner of your choice. Apply the conditioner. Let the conditioner sit for five to twenty minutes. Rinse your hair with cool water. Use a leave-in product (optional). Let your hair air dry. Turn heat-styling tools to their lowest setting.

Becoming a falconer isn't as simple as going out into the wild and catching a bird. Raptors are protected by state/provincial, federal/national and international law and you will need the appropriate permits and licenses before getting a hawk or practicing falconry. Contact your local wildlife agency as early as possible so that you will have plenty of time to complete all of the necessary requirements to legally practice falconry.  These permits can take quite a long time to be approved, so it is important to plan ahead. In fact, most falconry resources agree that it is best to apply for these permits a year in advance of the hunting season in which you wish to begin falconry. Note that, in addition to a falconry permit, you may also need an ordinary hunting license, which can require you to take hunter education courses. At this point, you will probably also want to schedule the test you'll need to take to obtain your permit. See below for more information. Once again, here is a list of relevant wildlife agencies in the U.S. and Canada courtesy of NAFA. While you're waiting for your government paperwork to be processed, get in touch with the nearest falconry organization to start the process of becoming an apprentice. Not all states, provinces, or regions will have these sorts of clubs or organizations, but many do.   Here is a list of falconry club affiliates courtesy of NAFA. Consider attending meetings at falconry clubs even if you aren't fully certified to practice the sport yet. This is a great way of meeting people, learning about the sport, and creating relationships which can later transition into sponsorships. Falconers progress through three levels of proficiency as they train: Apprentice, General Falconer, and Master Falconer.As an apprentice you are required to have a sponsor for at least two years. Sponsors can be either General or Master falconers. Different falconry clubs and individuals may have different requirements of their potential apprentices — some sponsors might even require an...
