Flip the envelope open and slide your mail into the opening. Place the top edge of the document nearest the opening if possible. The most common type of clasp envelope has a butterfly clip with two metal arms. Unfold these so they stand straight up. You may need to pry them up using your fingernails. If your envelope has two circles and a string instead, just close the flap and wrap the string tightly around the other circle instead. If your envelope has a strip of paper along the edge of the flap, peel this off to reveal the adhesive. If your flap has a lick-able strip, wet this slightly to make it sticky. Lower the flap and adjust the metal arms so that they are positioned right beneath the hole. Push the hole over both arms. Seal the flap against the body of the envelope by running over the edge with your thumb. Push the clasp arms outward again and flatten them against the flap. To prevent the clasp from catching on other mail, put a piece of tape over the arms. Apply the appropriate postage in the upper right-hand corner of the envelope, and your envelope is ready to mail. The exact postage required depends on the size and weight of the envelope, as instructed by your local post office. If you can't find instructions, just take the envelope to the post office and pay for postage over-the-counter.

TL;DR in English: Place your mail inside the envelope. Lift the clasp arms. Wet or peel the flap if necessary. Push the metal clasps through the hole in the flap. Flatten and secure the arms. Affix postage.

Everyone's body has tight areas and looser areas.   Stretching early and often helps keep you limber. Remember, you will become less flexible as you get older, so start early. Do you know where your Gluteus Maximus is? Probably! What about your Iliopsoas or your Semitendinosus? These muscles are important to your needle!   You have to overextend your back, torso and leg muscles to do a needle.  Learning the muscles' names and how they work within your body will make stretching for this position easier. Tighter muscles are typical around the back and torso. These areas will need extra stretching. Muscles have a long memory. If you have injured a muscle, it might be tighter than the rest. Give it extra love and attention, and extra stretching to prevent future harm. Muscle tears can occur. If they do, they can reduce your motor skills, as well as create scar tissue. Be careful! Do jumping jacks, brisk walking or jogging to warm up your muscles. Don't stretch with cold muscles. Working on a needle with cold muscles can hurt your posture and form, which may result in injury. A routine is important for preparing your body for exertion and contortions involved in doing a needle.   Stretching prepares your body for the needle posture. Also, stretching triggers your muscle memory and believe it or not, can remember what to do!   Remember, stretching is not itself a warm-up. Start with major muscle groups. Shoulders, torso, gluts, thighs, and back. Breathing is key to the optimal performance of your mind and body.  In the middle of a routine, you're exerting all of your energy and breathing is essential.  With time, the resistance and tightness will release. Keep breathing! It can take time to perfect the splits while on the floor. It can take even longer to do it with both legs! But, it's important to the needle posture, so don't rush this step.  Most people have one leg that is more flexible than the other. But, stretch both legs equally. Your more flexible leg might end up being your supporting leg. If so, this is...

TL;DR in English: Know your natural flexibility. Learn your muscles' names. Identify problem muscles. Warm up your muscles before stretching. Develop a routine for stretching. Breathe consciously and regularly. Perfect the splits for both legs. Lay back with hands overhead while in the splits. Hyperextend splits for both legs. Lay back with hands overhead while in hyperextended splits. Stand in splits against doorframe. Lean back against your upper leg and the doorframe. Hyperextend splits while standing against doorframe.

Many babies get upset when they are in need of a diaper change. The feeling of the dirty or wet diaper against their skin is uncomfortable. Waiting too long to change a baby’s diaper can lead to diaper rash, which is very uncomfortable.  If you are using disposable diapers, the diaper will begin to sag or appear full. If you are using cloth diapers, feel the outside of the diaper to discern if the diaper is full. Some disposable diapers, like Pampers Swaddlers, have an indication strip that turns blue when the diaper is wet. Check for leaking near the legs or above the top of the diaper. Peek inside the back of the diaper to check for a bowel movement. A baby’s nutritional needs change several times in the first two years of their life. Signs you should watch out for in a newborn include smacking their lips, rooting, or sucking on their fists. You can tell if your newborn baby has had enough to eat by their fists. If a newborn’s fists are closed and near their face, they have not had enough to eat. If their fists are open and relaxed, they are satisfied. An older baby may try to get into a feeding position or yank on your clothes if you breastfeed. They may become fussy, hit you, or turn their head from side to side. Babies, at any age, become fussy and cranky when they are tired. If they become too tired, they are inconsolable and difficult to put to sleep. You can also look for signs of sleepiness like yawning or eye rubbing. You should always be aware of signs that your baby is sick and not just fussy. If your baby shows signs of illness, you may need to seek medical attention.  Take your baby to the doctor if they have a fever over 100.4°F (38°C) and they are under 3 months or 102°F(38.9°C) if they are between 3 months and 3 years old. Seek help if your baby will not eat or drink. Look for signs of dehydration like less than 6 diapers per day or crying without producing tears. Make your baby an appointment if they have a cough that lasts more than a couple of days. Seek help immediately if your baby is...

TL;DR in English: Determine if the baby needs a diaper change. Decide if your baby is hungry. Discern if your baby is tired. Check for signs of illness. Visit your doctor if you can't identify a reason for the crying.

Paid-to-drive programs have become less popular recently because of increased gas prices and the rise of Internet advertising. Companies are now more selective in wrapping cars. The best candidates drive newer vehicles long distances through populated areas during busy traffic hours, ensuring maximum exposure. To improve your chances of being hired, you'll need to:   Drive 1,000 miles (1,600 km) per month. Commute through areas relevant to the advertiser's market. Complete an interview and pass a background check. Drive a car with lots of ad space such as SUVs, vans, and VW beetles. Have a car with GPS so the company can monitor your movement. Search for advertising companies in your area via the Internet or the Yellow Pages. Ask about any partnerships they have with local businesses. Read the proposed contract carefully. Most importantly, make sure that the company legitimately advertises in your area and that it isn't just a scam.   Spot car-wrapping scams. Fraud is on the rise. A common technique scammers use is to send prospective clients a substantial check and then request that a portion of the check be wired back to them to cover the cost of wrapping. The catch is that the check will eventually bounce, but your wire transfer will not. As a rule of thumb, never pay someone money just to get them to pay you. In other words, if the plan sounds convoluted, don't trust it.    Avoid sign-up fees. If an online site claiming to represent a car-wrap advertising company asks you to pay them in order to register, then it is probably a scam. If you're willing to go all out, order a full wrap. If you wish to retain some autonomy, a half-wrap might be more appropriate. If you just want to dip your toe in the water, aim for a windshield decal or even a modest  bumper sticker.  The more space you offer, the more you'll get paid. A full wrap can earn you from $200 to $900 a month,  while a bumper sticker might bring in about $5 a month. See the information on this topic outlined above. your car-wrap deal. Competition...

TL;DR in English: Determine your eligibility. Find the right car-wrapping company. Decide the level of wrapping you are comfortable with. Be sure the car wrap you opt for is legal. Negotiate

If you want to add some flavor to your chicken, squeeze some lemon or lime juice over it. This will give it a mildly citrus flavor.  If you use lime, use mint to compliment the flavor. Try sprinkling some fresh herbs over your chicken to compliment a lemon flavor. Mustard goes well with chicken. You can spread some dijon or plain mustard over a chicken breast before serving it. If you're having chicken breast on a sandwich, add mustard to the sandwich. . You can use your chicken breast to make chicken kabobs. Cut your chicken into small slices and then stick small wooden sticks through them. You can also add things like roasted red peppers and other vegetables to your kabobs for a quick, healthy snack or meal. You can chop up chicken breast and add it to a salad. This can be a quick and healthy lunch or dinner.

One of the easiest substitutes for baking soda is baking powder. If you have baking powder in your cabinet, simply add triple the amount of baking powder to your recipe. For example, if your recipe calls for one tablespoon of baking soda, add three tablespoons of baking powder. You can substitute baking powder for baking soda in pretty much any recipe that requires baking soda. If you're out of baking powder as well, check to see if you have self-rising flour. Self-rising flour contains a small amount of baking powder, so it can also be used as a baking soda substitute. Simply replace the regular flour in your recipe with self-rising flour. If you don't have baking ingredients to use as substitutes, check your medicine cabinet for potassium bicarbonate. This is a medication sometimes used to treat conditions like acid reflux or hypertension. For each teaspoon of baking soda in a recipe, add one teaspoon of potassium bicarbonate mixed with a third a teaspoon of salt. This usually works out best when baking cookies. It may not work out as well for recipes like cakes, pancakes, muffins, and other baked goods.

TL;DR in English: Use triple the amount of baking powder. Use self-rising flour. Mix potassium bicarbonate and salt.

Braking suddenly, accelerating quickly, and navigating around other cars all cost you speed. Being aware of the track can help you plan your moves so you can keep your momentum going. Keep your eyes on the track ahead of you so you can adjust your speed as needed and plan the best route down the track.  For instance, you might need to suddenly hit the brakes if you drive up on a packed track. Once you pass the other cars, you might hit your accelerator. This slows you down. Instead, you might see that there’s a traffic jam up ahead and slow down slightly. Then, you might loop around the other cars and return to your previous speed. A straight path means that you aren’t weaving in and out of the other cars. You can maintain your highest speed when you’re going straight, so pick the lane that’s most empty. It’s okay to change lanes as you go around the track, but do your best to stay on the same path. This means it may be faster to drive in the outer lane sometimes, even though it’s a greater distance. You might be tempted to slam on the accelerator as soon as you get the signal to go, but this usually slows down your time. Instead, accelerate gradually as you enter your first lap. Then, increase your speed with each lap to build and sustain your momentum. This helps you approach the finish line strong.  Your go kart won’t hit its highest speeds when you rev the engine. It’s better to gradually build speed. This also helps you slowly pass the other karts instead of having to constantly brake and accelerate as you all start the race. While many go karts have a wide rubber bumper to protect you, bumping into objects slows you down. Keep a distance from curbs and barriers so you don’t scrape or slam against them. Additionally, don’t get too close to other karts, as you might accidentally crash into them. Some people like to give slower carts that are blocking the track a gentle bump to encourage them to move out of the way. However, this will slow you down. It’s better to just go around them if you can. To take...

TL;DR in English: Watch the track ahead of you so you don’t have to slow down. Stay on a straight path so you can maintain your speed. Increase your speed on each lap to slowly build your speed. Be careful that you don’t hit curbs, barriers, or other go karts. Go wide on the corners, then cut in toward the inside of the track.

Choose pellets that are formulated for budgies and keep them available at all times. Twice a day, provide a mix of seeds, fresh fruits, and veggies. Always use raw fruits and veggies that are chopped up into small bites for your bird. This will keep your budgie healthy and happy.  Great fruits for your budgie include apple, banana, blueberry, grape, guava, kiwi, mango, melon, orange, papaya, peach, pear, pineapple, and strawberries. Good veggie options include broccoli, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, kale, pumpkin, radish, spinach, squash, sweet potatoes, ripe tomatoes, and yams. Your budgies will need more food once their chicks are born, so make sure their feeder is always full. Empty and refill the water bottles every morning and evening to ensure your birds have constant access to fresh water. Your budgies will need more water while they’re breeding. To make sure they don’t run out, it’s best to use two water bottles. Plus, this limits the risk of your budgies fighting over water. Hang the water bottles on different sides of the cage. Most budgies won’t eat their eggs, but they may if they feel that they don’t have enough food. Unfortunately, some budgies get into the habit of eating their eggs after doing it the first time. Budgies who continue to eat their eggs after you provide more food likely won’t be good breeders. If your budgies eat their eggs, add more food to their cage over the next breeding period. If this doesn’t stop the behavior, it’s best to find a new pair of budgies to breed. These supplements provide vitamins and minerals that your birds need to be healthy, such as calcium. Simply put the supplements into the cage, and the birds will eat them as they desire. You can find these supplements at a pet store or online.

TL;DR in English: Fill a large feeder with budgie pellets, seeds, fruits, and veggies. Hang two water bottles on the cage to ensure proper hydration. Provide plenty of food so that the parents won’t eat their eggs. Supplement their diet with a mineral block, cuttlebone, and iodine salt spool.

Some people keep a daily journal, while others prefer to write once a week or even once a month. Start by giving yourself a schedule to get in the habit of writing. Commit to spending ten minutes writing in your journal every morning or every evening.  Try writing "Morning Pages," the creativity tool that Julia Cameron popularized in her book The Artist's Way. Each morning, before you do anything else, write three full pages, longhand, in a notebook. Don't check your work or think too much about what you're writing – just get it out.  Try keeping a monthly check-in journal. At the end of each month, write an entry about the main events that happened. Explain what happened, what you loved, and what you learned. Track how you grow and develop each month. If you are pouring your deepest, most vulnerable thoughts into this book, then you probably don't want anyone else to pick it up and start reading. Carry the journal around with you for safety and convenience. Alternately, hide the book in your home or office: under your mattress, or behind other books in your bookshelf, or in a safe or lock-box. If you're keeping a digital journal, make sure to protect your documents with a password or save them to a hidden folder. Every once in a while, read over what you have written in your journal over the past few weeks or months. Flip through the journal entries that you wrote years ago. Compare the way that you thought about things then to the way that you think about things now. Remember the past so that you are better prepared for the future.  Notice how your journal entries sounded at a time when you felt sad, stuck, or frustrated in life. Try to catch yourself when you are writing like this so that you can do something about it. Notice how you were writing at a time when you were happy and excited about the future. Think about how you can channel this feeling.

TL;DR in English: Write regularly. Keep your journal safe and secure. Use your journal to understand your growth.

Learn the connection between cancer and cosmetics. Understand the concern for endocrine disruptors. Know that your skin absorbs chemicals through pores.

You can do this by spraying the inside with a non-stick cooking spray, or by greasing it with butter. If you grease it with butter, be sure to lightly dust the inside with flour as well. If you can't find any chocolate cake mix, then you can use a second box of brownie mix instead. This will make your cake more brownie-like however. Keep whisking until everything is evenly combined and there are no streaks or swirls. There should be hardly any lumps left. You can do this by hand, or you can use an electric mixer. Use a rubber spatula to help guide the mixture into the pan, and to scrape out any excess from the bowl. Gently jiggle the bundt pan from side to side to help settle the batter before putting it into the oven. The cake is done when a toothpick poked into it comes out clean. Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes in the pan first. Turn the cake out onto a serving plate, and let it finish cooling for another 30 minutes or so. You do not want it to come to a boil, but you want it to be very close. You should see lots of steam. Do not touch or stir the mixture during this time. It may puff up and begin to bubble or foam. This is fine. You want the mixture to be shiny, smooth, and well-combined. You can serve the cake immediately, or you can let the ganache cool and set up a little. This may take a few minutes. Note that the ganache will never fully harden like solid chocolate from the store.

TL;DR in English: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a bundt pan. Add both the cake mix and brownie mix into a large bowl. Whisk in the eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Pour the batter into the bundt pan, and bake it for 50 to 55 minutes. Let the cake cool. Heat the heavy whipping cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it is just short of boiling. Add the chocolate chips, and wait 5 minutes. Whisk the heavy cream and chocolate together for about 1 minute. Pour the ganache over the top of the cake.

Squeeze the clear section of the applicator tube. It has a small ampoule inside that releases part of the glue inside the applicator, similar to a 2-part epoxy.  While you're squeezing, do not point the glue at the patient. Keep it away from the patient and point it at the floor. After squeezing, release the pressure. Once you release the tube from breaking the ampoule, you need to squeeze the same area again. However, use gentle pressure this time, as you don't want to squeeze the ampoule a second time. This action pushes the adhesive into the internal filter.  If you crush the tube too hard, you can push pieces of glass through the sides, injuring yourself. Shake the tube gently to encourage the glue to flow downwards. You will need another person to help you. Each person should hold one end of the wound with forceps. Grasp the skin about 2 millimetres (0.079 in) out from the ends of the wound. Pull outwards on the corners of the wound so that the edges of the cut are tight against each other. Adson forceps are small forceps often used to suture the skin. Use ones with teeth, as they provide more grip. Run the applicator over the length of the wound, applying glue in a single, steady layer. The applicator should be touching the skin. Hold the skin together for at least 180 seconds to ensure the glue begins to dry. Apply the glue only on top of the wound, not in the wound.  Wipe up any excess glue immediately using sterile gauze. Be careful when applying the glue, as it can stick almost anything to the skin. For instance, it will adhere your gloves or the forceps to the skin if you're not careful. If you are going to add a second layer, add it after the first layer has dried for 30 seconds. Run the applicator over the wound a second time.  There are 2 types of Dermabond, Dermabond Adhesive and Dermabond Advanced Adhesive. If you have the advanced formula, you should only apply 1 layer. When applying Dermabond Adhesive, thin layers are better because a thick layer can heat up, causing the patient discomfort. ...

TL;DR in English: Crush the ampoule in the clear part of the tube. Squeeze the clear part of the tube again gently. Grasp each end of the wound with Adson forceps. Apply a single layer of Dermabond over the wound. Add a second layer in 30 seconds for Dermabond Adhesive. Wait for the glue to set if you want to apply a bandage. Avoid using liquid or cream medications on the wound after application. Use petroleum jelly or acetone if you need to remove excess Dermabond.

Think that you can do a skill, that you are afraid to. Try to be positive at every single practice! Maybe it's something like getting better at double backs, or something like getting your leg higher in a scorpion. What ever it is, if you have a goal in mind, it makes it easier to achieve it. Usually some people practice gymnastics for even four or five hours everyday, without their lessons. Typical gymnasts usually train for three to four hours, three times every week. If you wish to be a competitive gymnast the training hours will increase prior to an event. You must make sure that you are ready to commit to many training sessions that may affect your daily routine.

TL;DR in English: Be positive. Set goals for yourself to reach. Be dedicated to gymnastics.

Since being famous is a sought after position, it can be difficult to really take stock of the ways that fame is affecting you. Wanting to cope with the difficulties and effects of fame is not something to feel guilty about; while being famous is a privilege, it still has pitfalls that should be addressed. Take some time to journal about when your popularity really began to ramp up and how you have changed since that point. Here are some questions to help guide your inquiry:  Have you noticed any changes in your close relationships since becoming famous? Have you been accused by others of treating them differently? Are there any notable personality changes that you’ve undergone? If you have just recently become famous, you might be overwhelmed by your new success and visibility. Try to keep up your regular routines, letting them change only when they need to (according to new responsibilities and commitments). Continue using healthy outlets for stress, like spending time alone, eating well, resting, exercising, and keeping up other responsibilities. This will keep you grounded when life feels chaotic.  When you are unable to keep up these habits, there is a much higher risk of getting swept up in negative possibilities of fame, like addiction, self-doubt, and wanderlust.  Especially if you are young and still in school, let your fame be another element of your life rather than the only thing you focus on. Even if you’re excited and gratified about your success, balance in your life will keep you charged and able to be a good role model in the long run. . Perhaps the biggest difficulty with fame is that people will try to see in you whatever they want to see. This means that as a celebrity, you become a person toward whom critics and media voices can launch all sorts of opinions. Accept that people will have radically different opinions on your work and your character, and that this is the just the reality of being famous. Cultivate acceptance by laughing off criticism as part of the game, rather than...

TL;DR in English: Reflect on the nature of your fame. Keep up healthy habits of daily life. Learn not to take judgment and criticism personally Keep a tight inner circle. Stick close to the art that got you famous. Hold your ego in check. Limit your expectations.

Some cosmetics have been linked to cancer. Talcum powder has been linked to ovarian cancer, while antiperspirants and parabens have been linked to breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute, there is no conclusive evidence linking these products to cancer. Both the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute suggest using cosmetics without these chemicals if you feel uncomfortable using them on your body. Many cosmetics include chemicals that are considered endocrine disruptors. Endocrine-disruptors are believed to interfere with the endocrine system and negatively affect people and animals. These chemicals are believed to have negative effects on the reproductive system of women.  Common endocrine disruptors include BPA, DEHP, phthalates, and parabens. The CDC states that the result of Phthalate exposure is unknown, though research has pointed to negative effects of phthalates on lab rats. They suggest more information and research is needed. Your skin is porous, which means it will absorb everything you put on it. This includes the chemicals in the cosmetics you use. Your skin has the potential to absorb colors, fragrances, toxic chemicals, and allergens.  Choosing products with less chemicals may help reduce the risk of introducing carcinogens into your body. Using cosmetics with less chemicals may help you reduce the risk of causing developmental problems in children. Toxins are not the only concern with chemicals. People may have an allergic reaction to the chemicals, which may cause dermatitis, rashes, or blisters.

TL;DR in English:


Stock up on sunglasses. Add a cap or visor. Invest in several pairs of sneakers. Go for boat shoes or net booties when dressing up. Add a fitness tracker or sporty watch. Carry a gym or sports bag.

Sometimes, as a busy parent, it will be nearly impossible for you to make healthy snacks at home.  If you must offer store-bought snacks, choose the healthiest options possible. Chips, candy, and soft drinks are an easy option when your teenager is hungry.  If they are in the house, a teenager will eat them! Though you likely can’t prevent your teen from choosing these options at school or at the movies with their friends, you can provide better options at home. These convenient, portable snacks are often packed with sugar and fat. Most have added some vitamins and nutrients, but the amount of artificial flavorings and chemicals they contain usually outweigh the benefits. These are every bit as convenient as a power bar, but offer a good variety of whole grains, nuts, and fruit. You can also pick up individual trail mix packets with similar ingredients. Greek yogurt offers a lot of protein, but any low-fat yogurt is a good option for teens on the go. You can get these salted or unsalted, in bulk or individually wrapped. Be careful about portion control though, as nuts are high in calories. These are a great option for a teen who tends to grab chips and dip, but they offer much more nutritional value than potato chips. You can also rotate in healthy dip options, such as hummus. These packs come in every variety, from sweet treats to nuts to crackers.  Some offer less nutritional value than others, but they are all portable and very limited in calories. Convenience is key here. Bananas, apples, pears, and oranges are very portable and easy to eat.  If you want your teen to grab celery and carrots and don’t have time to cut them up yourself, you may have to opt for the more expensive pre-cut veggies.

TL;DR in English: Banish junk food. Avoid “power” bars. Try trail mix bars. Pick up individual yogurts. Grab mixed nuts. Stock up on multigrain crackers and pita chips. Look for 100-calorie packs. Buy convenient fruits and vegetables.

Use a butterfly net or another type of long-handled, thinly-meshed net to capture the frogs one by one. If you have an abundance of frogs, you may need to enlist the help of others to accomplish this task. Once you catch the frogs, you have two choices:  Relocate the frogs. After catching the frogs, consider relocating them to a nearby pond or stream. When relocating frogs, however, it is important to introduce the frogs to an area that the breed or species can be naturally found in. Otherwise, you can upset the ecological balance of that habitat. Freeze the frogs to death. If it is impossible to relocate the frogs, you can kill them humanely by freezing them. Place the frogs in a sealable container with air holes punched through the lid. Store this container in the refrigerator overnight. The frogs will ease into a coma-like state. The following day, move the container to the freezer and store the frogs there for 48 to 72 hours. Temperatures this cold should kill them. Use a standard aquarium fishnet to scoop up any tadpoles in your pond or other water source. Lay the tadpoles out in the sun for a day or so. The dry heat should kill them.  You can lay the captured tadpoles out on the cement or lawn, but the drier to surface, the quicker the extermination should be. Alternatively, you could also bury the captured tadpoles underground. This, too, should kill them. If the frogs have found their way indoors, set up standard mouse traps to kill them. Place these traps around any opening that leads from the outside to the inside, such as garage doors, basement windows and vents. If you are uncertain about how to remove the frogs or are unsuccessful in your efforts, hire a professional.

TL;DR in English: Catch the frogs with a net. Gather and destroy the tadpoles. Set traps indoors. Hire an exterminator.

Cut the lid and flaps off of an egg carton first. Next, cut it straight down the middle so that you have two rows of egg cups. Set one of those strips aside for another project.  A 12 or 18-cup egg carton will work better than a  6-cup egg carton, otherwise you'll get a very short caterpillar. Use scissors to trim off any sharp corners from the cups so that they are nice and smooth. Let your imagination run wild! Paint spots or stripes on to it. Glue some pompoms down its back. Give it a goofy tongue, eyelashes, or a nose. Bend its antenna into a new shape. The possibilities are endless!

TL;DR in English: Cut apart an egg carton into rows. Decorate the caterpillar further.

Again, this part just means that her friends aren't breathing down your neck. See if you can get her to talk to you right after school, at a birthday party, or some place where you can steal a few minutes alone with her, like a school dance. Try not to ask her  before school or she might still be tired and it could be awkward if she says no and then you have to be near her the whole day. Try asking her at recess. That's a popular time for guys to ask girls out. Again the tricky part will be trying to separate her from her friends. If you want the girl to say yes, she has to think you know what you're talking about. Don't get too nervous, stutter, fidget, kick your feet, or look at the floor. Look her in the eyes and smile. Make her think that you're totally comfortable talking to her so that she feels more comfortable, too. Walk right up to her, wave, and say, "Hi."  You can practice this move in front of the mirror to feel more confident. Remember that the worst thing that can happen is that she can say no. That won't be the end of the world, will it? You should say just a few things before you jump in and ask her out. Saying, "Hi, will you go out with me?" probably won't go over well. You should just say something like, "How are you?" "How was your day?" or "Are you doing anything fun after school?" And maybe tell her a thing or two about what you've been up to before you make your move. This will make her feel more comfortable and will hint at what is coming. You can think of one thing to tell her or one thing to ask her in advance so you feel more comfortable when the time comes. Compliment her or just tell her that you really like her and say, "Do you want to go out with me?" It's as simple as that. You can practice this in front of the mirror to get more comfortable, too. You shouldn't be hanging out with her for more than a few minutes without asking her or she'll start to get confused. Just take a deep breath, look her in the eyes, and spit it out. You'll feel much better once you finally ask her....

TL;DR in English: Get her (somewhat) alone. Be confident. Talk to her a little bit. Cut to the chase. React the right way no matter what.

Sunglasses are an essential accessory for a sporty look. Not only do they protect your eyes, some offer performance-enhancing lenses to help you excel at whichever sport you play. Choose a variety of styles, from aviators to wraparound sunglasses, so that you’ll have a pair for every occasion. Nothing says sporty like a ball cap or visor. Pick several with different colors and logos so you can top off every outfit. If you have long hair, consider looping it through the hole in the back of a ball cap for a super sporty style. For instance, pair a Titleist visor with a T-shirt and track pants when you’re out walking the dog or checking the mail. Sneakers are a sporty staple. Pick several pairs in different colors and styles so you can coordinate them with any outfit. Choose a simple pair, like black Nikes, as well as a pair that makes more of a statement, like patterned Vans. Net or mesh booties add a sporty vibe to fancy footwear. Pair net booties with stretchy skinny jeans or a body-con dress. Boat shoes are another shoe that you can easily pair with dressier items and still keep that sporty feel. To tie your sporty outfit together, a fitness tracker or sporty watch is the perfect accessory. Choose one in a bright color to make it stand out, or opt for basic black for a more functional look. Rather than carrying a traditional backpack to school, toss your books in a gym bag instead. Or, carry your phone, wallet, and other essentials in a drawstring sports bag on the weekends. Opt for a simple black bag, or pick one with an athletic company or sports team logo.

TL;DR in English:


Wash your hands. Secure your play area. Play with your snail at night.

In almost all kinds of songwriting, the melody happens before the lyrics. Most of the time, rappers will similarly develop the beat and become familiar with the music before attempting to write any lyrics. While a rapper might have a stockpile of rhymes built up in notebooks to jump off from, crafting a song requires a beat to rhyme to. Doing this will ensure that the song feels unforced and the music matches the words.  Find a producer online who makes beats and listen to several of them until you find some you like. Commission particular sounds or styles from the producer to get an original track. If you like samurai samples and old-school comic book references like the Wu-Tang Clan, send the beatmaker some examples. Even if you have a kind of idea forming for a kind of song or topic you'd like, try to come up with at least three possible beats before settling on one. Matching content, words, and music is a complicated process. Don't rush it. You can do this on your own computer or sound equipment, or even just by recording yourself beatboxing for inspiration.  Start by sampling the break from an R&B or soul song you really like. The Meters were a relatively obscure New Orleans funk band from the late 60s, who became famous after being heavily sampled as the tracks for great rap songs. Chop the beat using GarageBand or other free software on your computer. Create beats with a programmable drum machine. The Roland TR-808 is the most iconic drum machine, used in many classic hip-hop and rap tracks. It features a wide variety of bass kicks, hi-hats, hand claps, and other percussive sounds that you can program in different patterns. You can also process and manipulate these beats on your computer. Add the melody using bass tones on a synth or keyboard, or by sampling a melodic line from a pre-existing song. Listen to the song repeatedly until the melody starts to reveal itself. Listen to it from different angles and come up with different melodic possibilities. This will help you to find the hook as you begin...

TL;DR in English: Pick a pre-made beat. Consider making your own beats. Find the melody in the beat. Listen to lots of beats before settling on one.

If your Sweet William plants are cared for correctly, and the variety is suited to the climate, there's a good chance they will seed your garden with a new generation before dying. If you want a wide scattering of Sweet William plants in your garden, simply let the flowers mature, die, and drop seeds on their own. Be aware that some flower varieties are hybrids of multiple plants, and may produce seeds that grow into plants with different appearance or characteristics than the parent plant. In mid to late summer, after the flowers die, they will form dry, brown seed pods. Remove these once the pods are opening up at the end, about to release the seeds. Shake these pods into a container to get out the black, disc-shaped seeds for planting in fall or spring. Once the seeds have dropped, or after you have harvested them yourself, cut the seed pods off at the stem. Usually, the Sweet William plants will have expended too much energy producing seeds to continue growing another year, but removing the pods will increase the chance of another bloom. If you are lucky enough to have a Sweet William which survives more than a year or two, it may become quite large. In autumn or early spring, before much growth has started for the season, cut off one of the larger stems from near the base using a clean knife or shears. These cuttings can be planted to form new plants, although you may need to stake them to keep them upright. Newly planted cuttings take time to form roots. Keep them in a warm, moist area away from direct sunlight to prevent them drying out while this happens. A few days underneath a transparent plastic bag or container may help create the moist conditions it needs.

TL;DR in English: Allow thriving plants to reseed on their own. Harvest new seeds from the plants. Cut off dry stems after the seeds have dropped. Take cuttings from mature plants.

To create the butterfly house, you will need pine wood which can be purchased at your local hardware store. Your materials do not need to be perfectly sanded down or anything of that nature. Using raw wood will work just fine. You will be able to create an entire butterfly house with two boards. One measuring 1" x 8" x 8' and the second measuring 1" x 10" x 4'.  Consider recycling scrap wood you have around the house if available. If purchasing materials from a store, ask to have everything cut to size for easier assembling and time savings once at home. With a measuring tape, mark three equal parts, each measuring 30” in length. These three pieces will serve as the back and two sides. The remaining piece of this particular board will be used as the bottom of the house. You can customize your butterfly house as you see fit and adjust the measurements to create a larger or smaller version. Using the jigsaw, cut out each piece. Take every precaution when using power tools like this one. Read all instructions, wear gloves and goggles.  If you are not trained in using this machine, a handsaw will work as well. From the same board, the remaining piece of wood will measure 8” x 5 ¾”, cut this piece to measure 5 ¾” x 5 5/8”. Out of this piece, you will create the front of the house, the roof and roof block (the roof block with sit inside the house when closed to seal the unit shut). Measure and cut 30” x 5 5/8” to make the front. Measure and cut 5 ¾” x 5 ½” to make the roof block. From the remaining piece of this board, measure and cut 9 ½” x 8 5/8” for the roof. Butterflies will use the slots to enter and exit the house. Grab the front piece you’ve just made (the 30” x 5 5/8” piece). Measure and mark six vertical rectangles. Each should measure 4” long x ½” wide. These can be spaced as you see fit. Using the ½ inch drill bit, drill a hole through the top and the bottom of the rectangles to create 6 pairs of holes.  Using the jigsaw, cut the space in between each of the paired holes to create the openings/slots. You...

TL;DR in English: Use untreated wood. Grab the 1”x 8” x 8’ board. Cut out the floor. Grab the 1”x 10” x 4’ board. Make the roof. Create the slots.

Take your boat to areas that would be suitable for grouper, like near coral reefs or underwater cliffs. When you begin to troll, make sure you are doing so off the rocks or your line might get snagged. Aim for the sandy areas around the rocks or areas where you think grouper are swimming.  Large amounts of grouper live in the Bahamas, Gulf of Mexico, South Carolina, and Florida.  Circle back to areas where you felt bites, as these are likely fish prone areas.  If an area is unsuccessful, change locations. Keep a steady speed as you troll the area. Going faster than 12 knots may cause your lure or bait to get dislodged from your line. When using live baits, make sure that you are trolling at lower speeds. Leave slack on the line when you are dropping your bait. As you begin to move your boat, the line will straighten out. Counting to ten will let the bait reach the bottom of the water. Your bait should be bumping on the bottom periodically, but not getting hung up on anything.  You can use artificial or live bait while you troll. Check your line often if you are using bait to make sure that it hasn't become dislodged. Lock your reel and wait for a bite on your line. When you feel a bite, make sure to reel as hard as you can and raise your rod. You'll see the tip of your rod bend significantly when you've hooked a fish. Your rod should naturally bend by rubbing against the bottom of the ocean. The momentum of your boat will help you pull grouper out of rocks or reefs if it tries to escape.

TL;DR in English: Find a grouper prone part of the ocean. Drive your boat at 3-7 knots. Drop your bait into the ocean and count to ten. Lock your reel and wait.

The first thing you should do before anything else is to wash your hands. Washing your hands will make sure that you don’t introduce anything – bacteria or chemicals – to the snail or to its environment.  Use an antibacterial soap. Use warm water. Make sure all soap is thoroughly washed off your hands. Before you play with your snail, you need to make sure the room you’re in is secure and snail-ready. By having a room that is secure, you’ll safeguard your snail's life and make playtime a happy time for both of you.  Remove any other pets (specifically dogs or cats) from the room. Dogs or cats might see the snail as something to toy with or even eat. Inform any other people what you’ll be doing, so they don’t disturb you. Turn off any loud music or the TV. This is important for the snail and so you can concentrate and won’t be distracted as you’re playing. Night time is the best time to play with your snail. This is because most snails are active at night and sleep during the day. If you try to play with your snail during the day, it might not do very much and may just withdraw into the shell. The best time for you and your snail is probably between 6PM and 8PM, depending on your schedule and region.

TL;DR in English:


Count your calories. Keep a food journal Maintain a balanced, colorful diet. Drink water Eat breakfast Get rid of temptations. Avoid mindless eating.

Anxiety can make your stuttering symptoms worse. Before a practice session or speaking with other people, relax your body with a series of deep breathing exercises. This reduces your anxiety and can ward off your stutter.   Do breathing exercises regularly to reduce your anxiety. Do these breathing exercises especially before social interactions to relax yourself. Avoiding social anxiety is a big help in reducing your stutter. Seeing yourself speak helps you analyze your speech pattern. Pay close attention to what words, sounds, or phrases make you stutter.  Maintain eye contact with yourself in the mirror. This is important because when speaking to others, maintaining eye contact can help reduce your stutter. You can also visualize someone else in the mirror and imagine you’re having a conversation. This prepares you to speak to other people. Start by doing this alone, but then include family or friends. It might feel silly to have people watch you speak into a mirror, but people usually stutter less when they’re alone. Adding people to the room triggers your stutter so you can analyze it. This method allows you to analyze your speech pattern even more than speaking into a mirror. Set up a camera and speak into it. Again, start alone and then bring others into the room to trigger your stutter. Play this tape back and analyze your speech pattern. Analyze the tape with your friends and family as well. They may notice things about your speech pattern that you don’t and help you address those issues. People who stutter usually have specific blocks, which are words, phrases, or sounds that they have trouble saying. These blocks trigger the stutter. While reviewing yourself speaking, make note of what your blocks are. Before you’ve practiced overcoming your stutter, you can avoid your trigger words or phrases when speaking in public. In time and with practice, you will hopefully overcome these triggers and be able to use them in everyday conversation. After identifying the blocks that cause your stutter, focus on...

TL;DR in English: Take deep, controlled breaths when preparing to speak. Speak while looking into a mirror. Videotape yourself speaking. Make a list of your blocks and trigger words. Practice saying your blocks and trigger words. Prolong the first syllable of each word. Practice speaking in a rhythm. Read out loud. Make telephone calls.

It’s important to have proper ventilation when sanding and painting so the dust and fumes don’t create respiratory issues. Open windows and doors or use a fan to circulate the air. You should also wear a respirator. A drop cloth or old blanket will protect the floor from paint spills. You can use painter’s tape to secure the drop cloth and to mask any areas you don’t want painted, such as an electrical outlet or faucet spout. Paint won’t stick to marble’s glossy finish, so it’s necessary to give it some texture. Rub 36-grit sandpaper back and forth over the surface you are going to paint to remove all of the finish. Keep sanding until there aren’t any glossy areas left. The marble should look dull and feel a little rough when you are finished. To remove the dust created by sanding, wipe down the area with a damp tack cloth. Rinse or replace the tack cloth as needed to remove all the dust and debris. Then, use a dry tack cloth to remove excess moisture. Wait until the surface is completely dry before moving on. Be sure to select an oil-based primer, or the paint won’t stick to the surface of the marble. Use a paint brush or roller to thinly coat the entire surface of the area you want to paint. Use long, even strokes in the same direction to prime the marble. If you don’t let the primer dry fully, you may smear it and have to start the project over. Plan to do this project over several days so that the end result is exactly what you want. Once the primer is dry, you can cover it in paint. Use a clean paint brush or roller to apply a thin, even layer of high-gloss oil-based paint in the color of your choice. Be sure to paint in the same direction, rather than doing some strokes up-and-down and others back-and-forth. After applying the first coat of paint, wait 16 hours or more before applying another coat. If you rush the job, the finish may bubble, smear, or become patchy. You will definitely want to apply a second coat, and perhaps even a third or fourth, depending on the color you are painting and how it...

TL;DR in English: Work in a well-ventilated area and wear a respirator. Lay out a drop cloth and mask areas you don’t want painted. Use 36-grit sandpaper to remove the finish from the marble. Clean the surface with a damp tack cloth, then let it dry. Prime the marble with an oil-based primer. Let the primer dry for 6-8 hours. Paint the surface using high-gloss oil-based paint. Allow each coat to dry for 16 hours. Apply additional coats as needed. Let the paint cure for 7 days.

This will run the DirectX diagnostics tool. At the bottom of the window the current installation of DirectX will be listed.  DirectX is an application programming interface (API) integrated into Microsoft platforms used for handling video and audio tasks in games. Many games will package the installer for the versions of DirectX necessary to run the game and will automatically run when you run the installer for the game. This will open up a list of settings for Windows. This will open a window with Windows Update selected. This will pull all of the latest software updates for your operating system from Microsoft’s server. Microsoft no longer releases standalone packages for newer versions of DirectX and they must be acquired from Windows Update.. If you wish to only install DirectX deselect all other updates by clicking the checkbox next to each file. In order to complete installation of Microsoft updates you will need to restart your computer. If you are running an older game that requires DirectX 9.0, you can acquire the DirectX End-user Runtime directly from Microsoft. Multiple versions of DirectX can coexist on your computer without conflict. If you are still encountering issues, you can rule out DirectX as the cause.

During practice, select drills that enable players to run, skip, hop, and jump.  Other drills should encourage bending, twisting, pulling, and pushing.  This will give your players the opportunity to refine their sense of balance and improve overall fitness.  For instance, you could have your players do 30 pushups, then skip around the field one time, then do crab walks from one end of the field to the other. This is especially important for youth leagues, since kids need to constantly adjust to a new center of balance as they grow. Use language that your players will understand.  If your players are 10 years old, the language you’ll need to use will need to be considerably simpler than language you can use with a teen or adult.  Communicating clearly will facilitate positive changes in your players’ performance.  For instance, if you’re talking to young children, you might say, “Let’s keep the ball away from the other team.” With teens or adults, you might use more complex terminology that refers to particular positions (defense, offense) and areas of the field (midfield, penalty box, and so on).  Your directions can also be more complex.  For instance, you could say, “We should trap the goalie using a triangle play to keep them off-balance.” Early in the season, introduce your players to simple drills like passing from one player to another.  Over time, make your drills more complex by, for instance, having your players pass the ball back and forth to each other while running downfield. You’ll know you’ve spent enough time on a given drill if most of your players can execute it without difficulty.  At this point, you can move on to drills of greater difficulty. The primary focus of any sport should always be on ensuring your players have fun, so don’t be overly strict with them.  Do not, for instance, withhold water if they don’t perform well during a drill.  Similarly, don’t make them run sprints or laps as punishment.

TL;DR in English: Incorporate a wide variety of movements during practice sessions. Be clear and concise when offering direction. Add complexity to drills over time. Do not punish your players.

Each person requires a different amount of calories each day. Depending on your activity level, pick a daily allotment and stick with it. To lose 5 pounds a week, you must burn 2,500 calories a day, which is very difficult. Calculate how many calories you need to eat and how much you'll need to exercise to meet your goal. . This keeps you accountable, because you must record every nibble (even just a bite of a chocolate bar!). It also allows you to see any patterns or places where you can make changes if you aren't losing weight.  Don't miss a meal! Staying conscious of your eating habits is the first step to changing them. Work with a friend. Having someone else look over your food journal (and looking over theirs) will help motivate you to stay on track. Consider using an app on your smartphone, like MyFitnessPal, which makes it easy to track your calories throughout the day, as well as exercise and hydration. Healthier foods fill our stomachs up faster. If you feel full and content, you'll be less tempted to graze in front of the fridge.  Stock up on fruits and veggies. Let's say you eat 400 calories-worth of junk food. You're probably going to be going back to the fridge in minutes. That's because the oils in junk foods aren't filling. They literally take up less volume in your stomach than fruits and veggies do. To eat 400 calories-worth of lettuce, you'd have to eat about 65 pounds of it.  Avoid processed goods. They've lost 90% of their nutrients already. These foods leave you craving more because they don't satisfy any of your nutritional needs. Consume the rainbow. Americans tend to eat a very "white" diet. Eat foods of every color to ensure you're getting the proper amount of vitamins and minerals. In addition to fruits and vegetables, egg whites, soy products, skinless poultry breasts, fish, shellfish, nonfat dairy foods, and 95% lean meat are all recommended for rapid weight loss. . And then drink some more. A glass of ice cold water will boost your metabolism (your body works to warm it) within...

It used to be that anyone with a knack for numbers and a lot of friends could become a successful stockbroker. Not so anymore! If you want to stay competitive, you'll need to get your degree. Economics, finance, mathematics, accounting, or business management are all good fields to get your undergrad degree in. And the better college you go to the more prospects you'll have later in the game! Especially if you're going to grad school, keep your grades up. The better your grades, the more -- and better -- schools will open up to you. Not to mention knowing what you're doing when you hit the exchange floor! Some brokerages hire interns during their last year of college. Hit up your campus' "Investment Club" -- or start one if it doesn't yet exist! Getting that dream internship could make your path to being a billionaire a lot easier. This is your best bet if you're not looking to get your MBA and want to get going as quickly as possible. But know that relaxing is totally a viable option. Plenty of people take a couple of years off, go back to get their MBA and get in the game a little bit later. Also: people are more likely to trust a 28-year-old with their money than a 22-year-old, so feel free to keep that red solo cup and package of ramen in your hand for a second or two more. Alright, so having an MBA isn't necessary per se, but if you want to rise to the cream of the crop, having an MBA will put you at the top of that prospective employee stack you're bound to find yourself in eventually. More and more people are getting them, making them par for the course. This step could aid in job advancement, larger signing bonuses, and higher compensation. Again, feel free to take a few years off between undergrad and your MBA. Getting some viable work experience (even if it's menial labor at a bank or a firm) will make your options grow tenfold as well. Showing that you already have a grasp on what you're doing or want to do will get programs to take you more seriously. Read. Watch. Expose yourself. Learn. This is a...

TL;DR in English: Go to a good college. Look into internships. Consider getting your MBA. Educate yourself. Start your own investment portfolio.

To make a hair hygrometer you will need 2-3 pieces of hair at least 12 inches long, a 9 inch by 4 inch wooden block or piece of cardboard, two pins or nails, rubbing alcohol, a dime, tape, a marker, a sheet of plastic transparency, a ruler, scissors, and a hair dryer.  Most of these materials should be easily found around the home. If you’re using nails, you will also need a hammer. Parental supervision is advised during use of the hammer. You can also substitute the transparency sheet for stiff cardstock or cardboard. Mix 2 drops of alcohol and 8 drops of water. Wipe the hairs with the mixture to remove oils or hair care products. The cleaner the hair is, the more water it will be able to absorb.  Keep the hair on a white piece of paper so you don’t lose it while you build the rest of the hygrometer. Clean multiple strands of hair in case some break during the assembly process. This pointer will be the arrow that allows you to measure relative humidity. The pointer can be made out of stiff cardboard or the plastic transparency sheet. Trace a triangle onto the sheet that has a base of 3 inches and sides that are about 2.5 inches tall. Cut out the triangle using scissors. Mark a spot about 1.5 centimeters from the base of the triangle in the center. This will be the attachment point for the pointer. Using a piece of tape, attach the dime close to the tip of the pointer. It’s okay if the dime hangs off the edges a little bit. The dime serves as a weight, to keep the hair taut and straight. If tape does not work, you can use a dab of hot glue. Keep in mind, this is a slightly more permanent solution. Glue the hair to the hygrometer pointer between the dime and the marking for the attachment point. The hair should be perpendicular (make a 90 degree angle) to the pointer. Using the mark you made earlier, poke a hole through the pointer with a pin or nail. Hammer the pin/nail into the 9-inch-by-4-inch (22.86-cm-by-10.16-cm) wood block base about 6 3/4 inches (17.15 cm) from the top, with the pointer parallel to the...

TL;DR in English: Gather the necessary materials. Clean the hair with diluted rubbing alcohol. Cut a small triangle pointer. Tape the dime onto the tip of the pointer. Attach the hair to the pointer. Fasten the pointer to the wood block with a pin or nail. Hammer a second nail into the block about 1 inch (2.54 cm) from the top. Glue the other end of the hair to the nail at the top of the block. Calibrate the hygrometer. Check the position of the hygrometer pointer at different times of the day and record the results.

Researchers have found that the clothes we wear really has an effect on our self-esteem. For example, wearing a superhero costume can boost confidence and make people feel stronger. Women perform better on a math test in a sweater than in a swimsuit. A white coat gives people more “mental agility.”  Focus on wearing clothes that make you feel comfortable, such as a nice soft sweater, your favorite jeans, or a suit and tie. Examine your wardrobe and make sure your clothes fit your style. Wear colors that you like - these will help boost your mood. If you can’t decide on a color you like, a good go-to color is blue because people general respond positively to it. Find outfits that will look good to you when you look in a mirror because they match your body type or include accessories that show off your good features. There is no perfect body type, but there are good and bad clothes for particular body types. Clothes that fit because they match your type are more likely to look good on you. For example, if you have broad shoulders and narrow hips, avoid scarves with patterns (calling attention to your shoulders), shirts that accentuate your shoulders, and footwear that looks small for your body type, but do wear pants that make your hips look bigger and shoes with wider heels or boots with buckles that call attention to your feet. If you have a round body type, avoid too much fabric in the middle of your body, belts, and skirts less than knee-length, but do wear details above your bustline and below your hipline. . When you look like you think about your appearance and are taking care of yourself, your self-confidence is boosted. You will also help others focus more on you as a person, rather than one minor aspect that may be perceived as a flaw.  Take care of your skin. Wear sunscreen and have a good daily cleaning regimen. Keep your fingernails trimmed and clean. Have a hairstyle that suits your face. Iron your clothes if they are wrinkly. Have good posture. Sit and stand with your shoulders straight. Whether...

In less than 30 minutes you can create the perfect bed with just a needle and thread! If your cat loves to bask in the sun and watch life go on around them, then this is the perfect bed for them - safe, snuggly and simple.  Choose an old sweater or fleece jumper that will appeal to your cat. Make sure it has long sleeves as this is what will make the cosy basket shape. You just need yarn and a tapestry needle.You can choose to use contrasting yarn (such as red yarn on a black jumper) or use the same color so it is invisible.  Stop when you have sewed approximately halfway down the sleeve from where the armpit meets the side seam. Repeat this step for the other arm. Place the sleeves in front of it and roll the bottom of the sweater up. Make sure that the sleeve cuffs slightly overlap. This is how you will make an outer ring to your bed to stuff later.  Sew each sleeve to the top of the rolled up sweater edge. Where the cuffs overlap in front, put one cuff inside the other and stitch down the outside cuff edge along the top layer. You have now created a tube which you will later stuff. The stitching can be invisible or contrasting in keeping with how you chose to style your bed. When you make this running stitch make it arch a little as you sew across to make a half moon shape.  Make sure you sew through both layers of sweater fabric. The more arched your shape, the rounder the bed will be. This is how you will make a solid yet squishy border to your bed so keep your cat safe and snug inside and keep their shape if it jumps in and out a lot.  Use old rags, stuffing or strips of old clothes to make it nice and full. Pad the bottom of the bed a little and stitch the neck opening closed.

Silicone paste, also known as dielectric grease, prevents the metal wires from rusting and makes your splice completely waterproof. Use a bead-sized amount of silicone paste and spread it over the soldered wire with your finger. Make sure the wire has a thin, even layer of the silicone paste so it stays protected. You can buy silicone paste from your local hardware store. Take the heat-shrink tubing that you put on the wire earlier and move it back over the soldered wire. Make sure the edges of the heat-shrink tubing go over the insulation by at least 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) so there isn’t any exposed wire showing through. It’s okay if some of the silicone oozes out from the heat-shrink tubing since there is still enough on the wires to protect them. Hold a heat gun so it’s about 4–5 inches (10–13 cm) away from the tubing. Turn the heat gun onto the lowest setting and start applying heat to the center of the tubing. Work around the entire circumference of the wire, heating from the center to the edges so excess silicone paste oozes out of the sides. Once the heat-shrink tubing is tight on the wire, you can stop applying heat. You can buy a heat gun from your local hardware store or online. There will be some silicone paste that leaks out the sides of the tubing as it shrinks. Once the wire and tubing are cool to the touch, use a piece of paper towel to wipe the silicone off of the wires so they’re clean. Once you remove the silicone paste, your wires are finished!

TL;DR in English: Rub silicone paste on the soldered wire to make it waterproof. Slide the heat-shrink tubing over the exposed wires. Use a heat gun to shrink the tubing over the soldered wires. Wipe off any excess silicone paste with a paper towel.

If you keep going round and round in circles of feeling sad, depressed, and bad about yourself due to this regret, it may be time to let it go. You may need to accept that you made a mistake or that you wish things could have gone differently. Instead of getting down on yourself, at some point you must accept the situation and forgive yourself. If you have a hard time letting go of the regret, write a letter to the deceased person. Say the good things about the relationship and also what you wish you could have said or done. Put this letter in a special place or bury it in a special location. Recognize that there may have been many factors which led to this specific regret. For example, given the circumstances, you may have been under incredible stress, financial difficulty, relied on faulty information, or been in a situation in which decision-making was impaired.  Release yourself from undue blame.  Talk to someone who is unbiased to get a different perspective. You can talk to someone not involved, like a friend or a therapist. Say, “Even though this outcome was not what I would have liked, I did what I thought was best at the time and release myself from placing all the blame onto myself.” Resentment can make you a prisoner to your own negative emotions. Allow yourself to accept that you make mistakes and have lapses of judgment. It’s not worth feeling awful everyday over something you cannot change. Instead, learn to forgive yourself and practice different judgment next time. Say to yourself, “I have suffered for the decisions I have made, yet I am willing to forgive myself and move on from this point forward. I allow myself to grow from this experience.”

TL;DR in English: Let go. Release feelings of blame. Forgive yourself.

Cut them right at their peak, when their color and scent are strongest. This will ensure they'll last as long as possible in your flower arrangement. Place them in a vase of clean water immediately. Gather a bunch of freshly harvested lilacs and bind their stems with a rubber band. Hang them upside down in a cool, dark place for 1 – 3 weeks. Gently remove the rubber band when the lilacs are completely dry.  Dry lilacs using silica gel. Fill a large glass or plastic container with an inch of silica gel. Place a few stems of freshly harvested lilac into the container so that they stand up in the gel. Fill the rest of the container with gel so that it completely covers the lilac. Put a lid on the container and wait a week or so for the lilacs to dry. Remove them from the jar and use them in a flower arrangement.

TL;DR in English: Cut lilacs when their blossoms are mature. Dry lilacs hanging upside down.

Use a pair of scissors to carefully cut the top of the bottle off. Cut just beneath where the bottle begins to narrow. A plastic soda bottle works best. Be sure to remove the paper label completely. Parental supervision may be necessary for younger children when cutting the bottle. Pour in the pebbles in the bottom of the bottle. Soda bottles are never flat. Pour in the pebbles to even out the bottom and to keep the gauge from tipping over if it’s windy or the downpour is extremely heavy. Remove the cap from the top of the bottle and turn it upside down. Place it upside down on the bottom part of the bottle so that the top is pointing downward. Secure the funnel in place by lining up the cut edges and taping the two halves together. Make sure that the top half is firmly held in place, and that there aren't any gaps between the two pieces of your gauge. Cut a long piece of duct tape and place it on the side of the gauge so that it creates a straight vertical line from the bottom of the bottle to the top. Take a marker and a straightedge to draw a horizontal line just above the pebbles. This is the bottom of the gauge. Use duct tape for it’s strong adhesive properties. Masking tape, or other forms of tape, may come loose when soaking wet. Take a ruler and place it against the tape so that the 0 lines up with the bottom line you have marked off. Use a marker to mark off every half-centimeter or half-inch along the tape until you get to the top. Label the centimetres or inches from the top to the bottom. You want to be sure that your measurements will be easy to read throughout the duration of the experiment.  Every half interval does not need to be labeled. Label every other mark by beginning with the second mark as 1 inch or cm. The marks in-between each label are a half measurement. Make sure to wait until your marker dries on the tape before placing your gauge in the rain. Do not use washable markers or apply markings while in the rain. If you have to reapply new tape or new markings midway through the...

TL;DR in English: Cut the top off of the bottle. Place pebbles in the bottom. Turn the top of the bottle into a funnel. Create your measuring line. Mark off half-centimeter or half-inch intervals. Place the gauge at an optimal location. Pay attention to the weather. Repeat your measurements.

Although the ketogenic diet is grounded in medical and nutritional fact, there is not a universal opinion in the medical community that the diet is effective for weight-loss. Your personal doctor will be able to advise you if the diet is a good fit for you personally.  Some sources view a ketogenic diet as an effective way to counter the symptoms of certain illnesses — such as epilepsy — rather than a weight-loss diet.  If you are pregnant or diabetic, work with your doctor so they can monitor and adjust your medications while you follow this diet.   If you are type-1 diabetic, seek permission from a doctor well-trained in nutrition before you start this diet. A ketogenic diet — and putting your body into ketosis generally — presents risks for anyone who suffers from heart or kidney problems. If you are at risk for heart disease or kidney disease, avoid ketogenic diets.  A ketogenic diet prescribes moderate amounts of proteins, and large amounts of fats. A ketogenic diet will also add strain to your kidneys. Protein-heavy foods increase the amount of calcium in your urine. This, in turn, can strain your kidneys and lead to the development of kidney stones. The Atkins diet is heavy on fats and proteins, low on carbohydrates, and will encourage your body to burn ketones for energy. Atkins is a decent “middle ground” between a regular diet (often high in carbs) and a low-protein ketogenic diet. This step is optional, but may make the transitional period into a ketogenic diet easier. ” Macronutrients are nutrients which your body needs in large quantities, and they provide energy in the form of calories. Calculating your macronutrient intake will let you see the current levels of your fat consumption. With this information, you can decide how to reduce your carb and protein consumption, and increase your fat consumption.  There are three types of macronutrients: fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Fats provide more calories per gram than either proteins or carbs. There are many macronutrient calculators available...

Although in the era of instant video streaming it may be easy to find movies to watch, this doesn’t mean that all movies are worth your time. For example, there are about 3.8 million titles on IMDB (including films, TV shows, etc.). Ask friends for their recommendations and look up cinephile lists online. You want a good screen with good sound, whether it’s on a TV or a computer. Since most movies you are likely going to watch will be streaming online, it is important to have a computer or device that is able to play streaming videos without a lot of buffering. You can test your device’s video capability by streaming a YouTube video.   Most computers need an Intel or other PC-based processor and software like Silverlight or the Flash plug in. Make sure you have a reliable internet connection in combination with a good player. Even though virtually every film ever made is available online for instant streaming, that doesn’t mean you have access to it. Having a DVD player on hand is important for increasing your availability because you never know where you might have to obtain a movie from.  You may want to purchase a DVD player as an individual device that can be hooked up to a TV or computer monitor. Portable DVD players are also available. Most laptops and desktops have built-in DVD players. Some older movies may only be available on VHS, so having a VHS player may also be useful. Because this technology is outdated, VHS players are harder to find. You may want to look online or at thrift stores and garage sales, even in classifieds like craigslist. There are many online movie services that require a monthly fee for unlimited streaming movies. Every service has their limits, which is why you might consider subscribing to more than one.  Hulu offers a wide variety of films and TV shows, although it is only available in the U.S.  Amazon is a similar service and is available in the U.S., U.K., and Germany.  Netflix is one of the most popular streaming programs, but its global reach is also limited. . Many...

Bonding screed to the concrete base reduces the risk of cracking or curling. The concrete must be strong and uncracked. This approach is best for thin layers of screed:  A screed layer 35mm (1.4") thick is ideal, if the concrete base is flat enough to ensure the screed is at least 25mm (1") thick at all points. If the concrete is not flat to those tolerances, add screed 40mm (1.6") thick instead. Increasing the thickness beyond this requires modifications to the mix to prevent debonding. You must expose the aggregate in the concrete so it can bond with the screed. You can do this by hand using a chipping hammer or pick, or rent a floor scabbler or shot blaster. Make sure the entire surface is roughened, and no paint or other material remains on the surface. Wear respiratory protection to protect against silica dust. . Vacuum up all dust and debris, sprinkling with water to reduce airborne particles.  Remove grease stains if present. Two common options are a slurry made from PVA glue, water, and cement; or SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber), which is recommended for areas that will be exposed to water. Follow instructions on your product label to prepare the concrete and apply. Alternatively, you can make your own cement bonding agent. This doesn't require any special ingredients, but it can fail to bond if you don't work quickly and accurately:  Dampen the cement the day before and let stand at least four hours. Remove all excess water, then wait until the surface looks dry. Mix sand-cement grout (in a 1:1 ratio). Add enough water to form a slurry the consistency of PVA paint. Stir continuously and apply within 30 minutes of mixing. Do not delay before adding the screed. If the grout dries, the screed will not bond. You are now ready to mix and add the screed. Continue on to the next section below.

Typically, you will be instructed to fast for at least 12 hours prior to your appointed hour of surgery. Fasting will reduce the chances of nausea or throwing up during surgery, which can be triggered by some types of anesthesia.  Fasting includes gum, mints, and other small items. You can brush your teeth; just do not swallow any of the water or toothpaste. You will be discouraged from driving home after the surgery, due to residual effects of the anesthesia. Arrange a driver so you can get home after you are discharged without any delay. Your driver can also help you get your medications from the pharmacy on the way home. Try to avoid placing anything on your body that could inadvertently interfere with the surgical procedure. This includes jewelry, makeup, perfume, cologne, lotions, etc. Also, wear glasses instead of contacts, as your eyes may be dried out during the surgery. To expedite the process of registration and make sure you are ready for surgery on time, make sure to bring the required items. Bringing these items and having them on hand will save you time digging through your bags or returning home to get them. Bring:  A photo ID (driver's license or state identification card). Your health insurance card. A form of payment if another arrangement has not already been made. A list of the medications you are taking, the dosage and time of the day that you take them. You should also bring a list of the medications you are allergic or have had a reaction to. Walker or crutches, if necessary. Bring a case for your glasses, dentures and hearing aid, if applicable. All of these items will be removed prior to surgery.

TL;DR in English: Stop eating and drinking by 12 am the night before your surgery. Arrange for someone to drive you home after your surgery. Wear your glasses and leave unnecessary items at home. Bring the necessary paperwork to the hospital.

Screen printing is an art form that can be as complicated or simple as you want to make it. The basic concept is using a screen to evenly distribute the paint around a stencil. Using this method, it's possible to apply several layers of color and make intricate designs. Here's what you need:  A t-shirt. You can screen print on most types of fabric, but cotton works best for beginners. Be sure to wash, dry, and iron it before using. A screen. These are available at art supply stores. Choose one that's about the same width as a t-shirt. Screen printing ink. Pick out one or more colors to create your design. A squeegee. This is used to smooth the ink over the screen and apply it to the t-shirt. Craft paper. Use craft paper that is cut to the same size as the screen. A craft knife. This is used to cut your design into the craft paper. Use the craft knife to cut a design out of the craft paper. You might want to draw it before you start cutting. Make the design as simple or as intricate as you'd like. If you want to create more than one layer of color, make a different stencil for each color. Cover a flat surface with butcher paper or scrap paper. Place the t-shirt on the surface and smooth out any folds or wrinkles. Put the paper stencil on the t-shirt where you want the design to be. Place the screen over the stencil. Put a spoonful of ink onto the top of the screen. Use the squeegee to spread it evenly down the screen. Make a second swipe with the squeegee across the screen.  It may take some practice to get the hang of inking the screen (and the t-shirt below it). Try to make just two swipes: one vertical swipe and one horizontal. This will ensure you apply the right amount of paint in an even coating. Make sure the edges of the paper stencil extend past the edges of the screen. Otherwise, you'll get ink on the t-shirt outside the borders of the stencil. Carefully remove the screen and examine your work. Let the ink dry completely before using or laundering the t-shirt. When you remove the screen from the...

TL;DR in English: Gather supplies. Make the stencil. Prepare your work station. Ink the screen. Lift the screen and let the ink dry. Use the screen again. Wash the screen.

To be creative, your mind should be at ease and free from distractions. Schedule quiet, uninterrupted time to relax and let your mind wander. Once everyday stress and worries have left your mind, you will be apt to imagine and cultivate new ideas.  Schedule this time on a day off from work, or during a part of the day when you have no commitments. Avoid scheduling this time right before an important deadline or appointment, which may distract you. For example, you might write for 5 minutes using your non-dominant hand. Make this a daily habit. It will help activate other parts of your brain. It's a good idea to do this before you start your brainstorming session. This will encourage you to think differently. Artificial lighting can cause a drop in cortisol levels, leading to sleepiness and reduced productivity. Natural light, on the other hand, can make you more alert. Choose a spot for your creative-thinking time that is outdoors, or that has windows that provide ample natural light during the day.  A balcony, outdoor patio, or quiet garden are excellent options for a creative space. Time your creative sessions in the morning or early afternoon to make the most of daylight hours. One of the most difficult parts of the creative process is finding the discipline to follow through with ideas. Remove hindrances to this goal by eliminating electronic distractions while you brainstorm. Turn off your phone,  WiFi connection, television, and radio to immerse yourself in the project at hand. Choose a specific issue, problem, or theme to brainstorm about. Sit down with a piece of paper and pen and write down as many ideas as you can in a 45-60 minute period. To allow unbridled creativity, do not overthink your ideas or second guess them before writing them down. For instance, you could brainstorm about alternatives to plastic product packaging or ideas for a compelling short story. Part of being creative is evaluating your own work and choosing your best ideas. Interrogate your own ideas by breaking them down into...

Procrastinating is easy if your notes are such a mess that you can't find anything you need! Take the time to organize your notes and files. Keep one binder or file folder for each class, and put your notes and assignments in chronological order. Go through your class schedule or syllabus and record every due date in a planner. You can use a paper planner, an online calendar, or even an app on your phone. If you're prone for forgetfulness, put your calendar on your phone and set it to alert you before assignments are due. Not all assignments are equally urgent! If you have several assignments due at once, list them in order of urgency in your planner. Assignments that are due the next day or are for subjects you struggle with should be scheduled for the earliest dates. Do these assignments first! Schedule time in the future for assignments that aren't due for awhile or will be very easy for you to finish. Write down a time in your planner to finish each assignment. For example, if you have an English essay due in one month, you can schedule two hours a week to work on it until it's finished.

TL;DR in English: Organize your notes and files into categories. Write your assignment due dates in a planner. Prioritize your assignments. Plan ahead for lower-priority assignments.

Your dominant hand will go on top. The middle knuckles of your upper hand should line up with the bottom of your fingers on the lower hand (part of the finger between your palm and middle knuckle). Gripping the bat 1-2 inches above the bottom is called “choking up.” You can get more power the lower your hands are, but choking up improves bat speed. Find a comfortable spot for you. Your elbows should be roughly nipple height and the bat will be 8-12 inches away from your chest. Make sure you're comfortable, relaxed, and can swing the bat with ease. Keep the bat high – shoulder height or higher – in order to come down on the ball with power. Your toes should point towards the plate and your legs will be spread apart. Your feet should face in front of you. Do not splay your toes out to the side or in towards the plate. The ball of your foot is the small area in between your toes and your arches. Keeping your weight on the balls of your feet lets your move quickly. Rest roughly 60% of your weight on your back foot, towards the catcher. You should be able to quickly pick up your front foot and step it towards the pitcher's mound. You want a slight bend in your elbows and knees, allowing you to move quickly and smoothly when the pitch comes. This is a small point, but an essential one if you want to catch up to a fast pitch. You need to be able to see the pitcher and the ball the entire time it is coming at you. If it helps, turn your front foot slightly towards the pitcher to open up your body. Keep your eye on the ball the entire time you are swinging. If you are a batter who steps with the front foot, time your step to end when the pitcher's leg touches down. Your front foot should be planted on the ground when the ball is released. This initiates a strong, powerful swing. As you start your swing your front foot must be planted firmly on the ground or you will lose balance and power. Your back foot will pivot on the toe and your hips will turn towards the pitcher as your bat approaches the ball. You will feel...

TL;DR in English: Grip the bat with both hands near the bottom of the grip. Hold the bat up and in front of you. Plant your legs slightly more than shoulder-width apart. Rest on the balls of your feet and keep your weight back. Relax your elbows and knees. Point your eyes and head directly at the pitcher. Time your step with the pitcher, if you take a step. Turn your back knee towards the ball as your front heel touches down. Start your swing through your hips, transferring your power from your legs to your torso. Use your lower arm to guide the bat to the ball. Bring the elbow of your upper arm close to your chest. Swing your hands through the ball, not at it. Hit the ball with backspin.

Close your mouth, watch a clock, and try to breathe through your nose for 2 minutes straight. If you have issues doing this, it probably means that you have a clogged nose and the cause of your mouth breathing is physical or structural rather than habitual.  If your mouth breathing is caused by a structural or physical issue, you'll need to investigate further and get diagnosed by a doctor. If you have no issues breathing through your nose, then it’s a habit and may be easier to fix. Allergies could be stuffing up your nose which could be forcing you to breathe through your mouth. Dust and pet dander are common causes for clogged noses. Make a doctor appointment and explain that your nose is constantly stuffed and that you want to take an allergy test.  A doctor may be able to prescribe medicine that will unclog your nose. Having a cold may also be the cause of a clogged nose. Mouth breathing can be caused by the position of your jaw, teeth, or a deviated septum. A dentist will be able to determine if braces or other orthodontic solutions may be able to correct the structural issues that are causing you to breathe through your mouth. Schedule a checkup with your dentist and tell them about your mouth breathing issue. Braces may be able to fix mouth breathing in some cases. An ear, nose, or throat specialist can determine the source of your mouth breathing if it isn’t allergies or a mouth problem. Most primary care physicians can write you a referral to a specialist if they can't figure out the issue. A common cause of mouth breathing is oversized tonsils, which can be removed to help you breathe through your nose.

TL;DR in English: Try to breathe through your nose for 2 minutes. Get an allergy test from a doctor if your nose is stuffed. Get an oral exam if you can’t breathe through your nose. Speak to an ear, nose, or throat specialist.

Regardless what pattern you are crocheting, the first step is to make a slip knot on your hook. The pattern likely doesn't tell you to start with a slip knot, it's assumed you already know where to begin.  Make a loop with the end of the yarn, and slip the loop onto the crochet hook. Wrap the yarn back over the crochet hook, and once again pull the yarn through the loop.  Pull your crochet hook up with one hand while holding the other two ends of yarn to tie the slipknot tight. The steps will begin by telling you how many chains to make. Then, the steps will be listed in order by number of rows or rounds. You will crochet Row 1 followed by Row 2, Row 3 and so on. Keep crocheting rows or rounds until you complete the project.  All crochet patterns begin with a foundation chain. The foundation chain could be long, as for an afghan, or short, as for a motif that begins as a circle.  A pattern may be worked in rows back and forth to form a flat piece such as an afghan, or in rounds worked around to form a tube with no seams, such as in a hat.  If the pattern directs you to turn the piece, flip it over so you are working from the opposite end. For example, you might keep the top side in the same position and switch the left end with the right end, flipping the top over. This number lets you know how many stitches you should be crocheting. You may need to add or drop a stitch to get back on track with the pattern. It is a good idea to count your stitches once every 10 rows or so, just to make sure that you are on track with the pattern. To stay on track with a pattern, it is important to keep track of the row that you are on by using a row counter, an app, or writing down your current row on a piece of paper.  Row counters fit right on the end of your hook and you will just need to click it forward each time you complete a row. Apps are available to help you keep track of your rows as well. To keep track of your rows using an app, you will need to tap the screen every time you finish a row. Pen and paper also work...

TL;DR in English: Begin by tying a slip knot. Follow the steps of the pattern. Notice the number of stitches given at the end of the rows or rounds. Keep track of your rows. Refer to the finishing steps at the end of the pattern.

This means you will continue to increase the amount of playtime and activity, while reducing daytime naps. Always watch for your baby's signals so you will have a better understanding of what your child needs.  From around 8 months to a year, your child should still be taking 2 naps a day. Most babies only need one nap after a year, but you should know from your baby's tired signals and alertness while playing whether she is ready to eliminate one nap. Naps may range from 20 minutes to several hours, depending on the baby. Continue to watch the baby's cues. Lay her down in the crib and walk away. Don't pick her up unless she gets very upset.  A baby monitor may be especially helpful at this stage. If you see that your baby has become so upset that she sits or stands, go into her room, pick her up and then lay her back down facing away from you. If your baby isn't calming down on her own, leave her lying in her crib (rather than picking her up) and say comforting things. Babies of this age understand quite a bit of language, so you might use a soothing phrase like "Mama's here. It's night time baby," which you can use consistently at every sleep time to help the baby adjust to sleep. You may place your hand on her back for a few minutes. She may be able to soothe herself.  Nighttime cries or calls are part of the normal sleep cycle, even for adults who often talk in their sleep. Since babies can't talk, they often grunt, moan, yell, or cry while still sleeping. If you go in and comfort the baby at this point, it will actually backfire by waking the baby more and disturbing the sleep cycle.  If the cries escalate or seem unusual, go and comfort your baby.

TL;DR in English:
