The time to convince your guy to stay with you is not when he’s just come home after a stressful day of work or as he’s about to go out with friends.  He'll be more likely to hear you if both of you are at peace.  Try to talk after dinner or while you two are on a walk.  Say something like, “I know you’ve been talking about breaking up a lot lately, but I still want this relationship.  I love you and hope you’ll reconsider.” If you can’t talk during a stress-free time, be as calm as possible. Be rational, listen, and don't raise your voice. Try to hold back the tears if you can. Maybe your boyfriend wants to break up because he doesn’t know how much you care about him.  Use this time to tell him! You don’t want to wake up a year from now thinking of all the things you should have said, so tell him now. Say, “I know I may not show you or tell you enough, but I love you very much.  You're a great boyfriend to me and I want to work to show you that.  I’m willing to work on this if you're willing to be patient with me.” Your boyfriend might have a lot on his chest that he needs to get off.  Maybe his reasons for wanting a breakup are completely fixable, and maybe they're not. Hear him out and then decide what to do.  For instance, if he wants more alone time, you can both compromise on this by adjusting your schedules. On the other hand, if he wants kids while you done, it might be time to part ways. Let your boyfriend know that you understand his reasons for wanting to break up but that you need a little more time. Ask him for one more week together, and if he still wants to break up after that week, don't protest it. He may also refuse to give you an extra week. In this case, you should respect his reply. Continuing to beg for extra time will not help your cause. Maybe there are things your boyfriend did that you haven’t forgiven him for, and he's tired of being punished for them.  Or perhaps you have done things to him that you haven’t really apologized for. Take this time to give and receive apologies. For...

TL;DR in English: Talk during a stress-free time. Be honest about your feelings. Listen to his perspective. Ask for more time. Offer or extend forgiveness for the things you’ve both done. Take a break Suggest getting outside help.

One of the biggest misconceptions many people have is that they need to pretend to be someone they are not in order to get someone to like them. Be yourself around your crush, and he/she will appreciate you for who you are.  Show your special someone your true personality by sharing your interests and hobbies, sharing jokes that you think are funny, sharing what type of music you like, and acting in a way that feels comfortable for you. Never apologize for who you are! If your crush does not understand or appreciate your personality, then you need to consider whether you should continue to romantically pursue this person. A great way to start feeling more comfortable around your crush is be friends with him/her first. While you take time to get to know him/her better, focus on building up that friendship and trust between the two of you. Then, you will feel calmer and more comfortable around your crush. You could even try behaving around your special someone the way that you do around your friends. Treating him/her like a friend, and thinking of your crush as friend, might help you to feel more comfortable. Girls in particular struggle with this. There is often a feeling of always needing to look perfect when around your special someone. However, displaying confidence even when you do not look your best helps you to relax around him/her.  Wear clothing that feels comfortable to you. You do not always have to dress to impress; wearing jeans and a t-shirt or even sweatpants, if you are hanging out at home, is perfectly acceptable. If you are going on a date with your special someone, know where you are going or at least get an idea of what appropriate attire is. Dressing appropriately but comfortably will boost your confidence.  Having good hygiene habits also helps with comfort and confidence. Be sure to take care of your personal hygiene at all times. Many people cite that the most attractive quality of a person is the ability to be confident about who you are. Know your flaws but be accepting of them,...

TL;DR in English: Display your real personality. Build a friendship with your special someone. Have confidence in your appearance. Accept yourself for who you are.

Your Moluccan or umbrella cockatoo would normally form a monogamous bond in the wild. In captivity, your bird will bond with you. It will crave attention from you every day, so make sure you have at least a few hours to spend with your bird each day. For example, you might let your bird sit on your arm while you go for a walk or watch television. Additionally, you might play catch with your bird using a small ball or play dress up with your bird using doll clothes. Moluccan and umbrella cockatoos are extremely intelligent, so they need mental stimulation. Both of these breeds are likely to start feather-plucking if they get bored. Giving them a variety of toys can help them stay entertained. Look for toys with moving parts, as well as natural wood toys your bird can chew. Additionally, your bird will enjoy shredding ropes, cardboard, or paper.  Puzzle toys are a fun challenge for your cockatoo. Some puzzle toys allow you to place a treat inside the toy that your bird will work to retrieve. Your bird will get bored with its toys after a week or 2. Keep several sets of toys so you can cycle them. That way, your bird gets “new” toys every couple of weeks. Always monitor your bird while it’s out of its cage so it flies around safely. Before you let out your bird, always bird proof the room(s) it’s allowed to enter. Here’s how to bird proof a room:  Turn off ceiling fans. Make sure glass windows and doors have smudges so the bird doesn't fly into them. Remove, hide or cover electrical wires. Avoid using aerosol sprays. Blow out or remove candles. Avoid using essential oils. Clean up and cover flaking paint. Remove jewelry, especially costume jewelry, which can contain zinc. Put other pets in a different room. Your bird may get lonely if it’s left alone. Cockatoos are a flock animal, so they like company. Hearing voices from the radio or television will help them feel like someone is home, even while you’re out. You don’t need to turn up the volume very high. Turn it up just loud enough for it to be audible in the...

TL;DR in English: Give your Moluccan or umbrella cockatoo attention daily to keep it happy. Rotate several sets of toys so your bird stays stimulated. Let your bird out of its cage for a few hours each day. Leave your radio or television on when you’re going to be out. Train your bird to scream at certain times of the day.

The best way to start detoxing your colon is to eliminate the foods that are causing problems. Start to eliminate all the foods that are a burden to your liver and your colon. This includes coffee, white sugar, white flour, dairy, and alcohol. Stop eating processed sweets, which are full of white sugar and flour. Also avoid excess amounts of cheese or ice cream. There are certain foods that will help you detox your body. These include vegetables in the Brassica family, such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, collard greens, and cabbage. These vegetables contain many nutrients and specific complexes called sulforaphanes that are very important in helping your body detox.   Also make sure to eat plenty of fiber, because fiber-rich foods scrub the walls of the colon and push food through the intestines quickly. Some great high-fiber foods are green vegetables, apples, berries, and brown rice.  High fiber consumption can improve colon health by helping remnants inside the colon pass through. If you have never been tested for food intolerances, you may want to visit a doctor or natural doctor to have this done. Eating foods that your body has an intolerance to slows down colon functioning and increases the likelihood of bowel toxicity. There are certain foods that will help reduce the toxins in your blood. Studies have shown that chlorophyll reduces the absorption of toxins and helps with toxin excretion. Dark, leafy greens are very high in chlorophyll. Increase your intake of spinach, kale, collard greens, parsley, wheatgrass and seaweed. Try incorporating these into every meal. Add your eggs to a bed of steamed kale or throw some spinach and wheatgrass in a smoothie. You can also buy dried seaweed chips as a snack. Probiotics are good for overall colon health and also specifically help with detoxification. Probiotics decrease an enzyme in your body that causes your colon to hold onto toxins instead of excreting them. While it is a good idea to take a probiotic capsule every day for general health,...

TL;DR in English:


Push yourself to be more open to socializing. Look confident. Show people that you like them. Be nice.

Sleek black heels will add sex appeal and complete the high-fashion look of your leather lace-ups and black top. Pointed-toe black heels with ankle straps can look sharp with leather pants. High-heeled black booties with a chunky silhouette also work well and can add a rock-and-roll edge to your chic outfit. The sportiness of lace-up leggings goes perfectly with a pair of designer sneakers. High-top and low-top trainers both look great, so choose according to your personal style. You can branch out with color, but plain white sneakers can add a nice contrast while complimenting the overall minimal vibe of the outfit. Keep the rest of your outfit black and simple, then add a glamorous coat on top. You can tone down a racy outfit by wearing a statement coat over it without losing the overall high-fashion vibe. Complete the look with a pair of black cat-eye sunglasses. Go for high drama by wearing a duster-length black coat or one that is trimmed in fur. Your lace-up pants should be the most eye-catching element of your outfit. Choose minimal accessories in dark neutral colors. For example, carry a simple black leather clutch and wear a pair of basic black sunglasses. Wear a pair of nude ballet flats for the ultimate casual minimalism. Avoid wearing a lot of jewelry with this look, which can end up looking overwhelming.

TL;DR in English: Play up the raciness of leather lace-ups by wearing black heels. Wear trendy sneakers or trainers with lace-up leggings. Add a touch of glam with a long black statement coat and sunglasses. Keep your accessories simple and sleek.

Stamp dealers and hobby stores offer affordable packets containing hundreds of used stamps. These are excellent for kicking off a new stamp collection. Make sure the packet is "all-different" so you get a wide variety of stamps, not multiples of the same stamp. You can buy unused commemorative stamps from any post office, often with appealing designs aimed at collectors. Some collectors prefer these new, "mint condition" stamps due to the higher quality, while others enjoy reading the cancellation ink mark the post office puts over stamps used in the mail. You can specialize in one type or the other if you like, but it's fine to keep both types in your collection. Businesses often receive a lot of mail, and may receive mail internationally if they work with other businesses or international clientele. Friends and family might also be willing to save stamps from letters they receive, and pass them on to you. . If you enjoy writing and receiving letters, find a pen pal so you can have an ongoing conversation. Pen pal websites online might help you find someone in another country, who might use stamps you wouldn't normally find. Once you have sorted through a few packets of stamps, you might have a pile of duplicates, or stamps that don't interest you. You can trade these stamps with other collectors for their own duplicates, expanding your collection. If you do not have any friends or coworkers who collect stamps, ask employees and customers at the local hobby shop or stamp dealer if they're interested in trading. At the early stage of the hobby, it is best to trade one stamp for one stamp, instead of trying to learn the market value. One exception is stamps that are torn, damaged, or covered by a heavy cancellation (post office ink), which is typically worth less than a stamp in good condition. Seasoned stamp collectors often meet to share tips and trade stamps. If you want to meet more dedicated hobbyists, you can find a stamp show instead, where people compete for prizes with their stamp collections.

TL;DR in English: Start your collection with stamp packets. Buy new stamps from the post office. Ask local businesses and friends to save stamps for you. Get a pen pal Swap stamps. Join a stamp collector's club.

You do not, however, want to keep driving for long if you can help it. That said, sometimes you have no choice but to keep moving until you can get to help.  If the car does not overheat again, you may have had a one-time overheating due to a variety of factors (AC on, hot day, stop and start traffic). Still, you need to keep your eyes on the temperature gauge whenever possible to avoid more issues. Most cars are calibrated to sense overheating before serious engine damage, giving you some time to fix the problem. This does not, however, mean you should ignore your gauges. Air conditioning uses engine power to cool off the car, and you don't need your engine under any more strain than it can handle. Open the windows to cool off instead. While this seems counter-intuitive, cars heaters warm up by sucking heat made by the engine and blasting it into the car. Thus, turning your fans and heat to the highest settings will pull hot air out of the engine and cool the car. It may, however, get a little uncomfortable.  Turn the vents to point out the window to prevent things from getting too hot in the cab.  Alternately, you can set the heat to the "defroster" setting to avoid it blowing directly on you. Get yourself up to 2000 rpms with the car in neutral. This helps the engine and the fan circulate air quicker, getting cool air and coolant to the engine and helping you remove some heat from the car. If you're in stop/start traffic, this could be a great way to keep the engine moving when the car can't. Though not recommended for long drives, water will help keep your engine cool in a pinch. Add warm water to your radiator, but only after the engine has cooled. Cool water can cause a crack in your engine block due to the extreme change in temperature. If you absolutely must drive with an overheating engine, keep your eye on the temperature gauge. Every time it gets hot, pull over, turn the car off, and wait for 10-20 minutes as it cools. This is not great for the engine, but it is better than trying to drive through...

TL;DR in English: Keep driving after the temperature gauge lowers back down. Turn off the AC. Crank your heat up to full blast. Put the car in neutral and rev the engine. Add water to the radiator if you are out of coolant. Drive for short stretches, turn the car off, and repeat if you need to keep moving. Know that you will likely need to go to the mechanic if your car chronically overheats.

Flatten the sheet. Polish the papyrus. Cut the paper.

Place the turkey in your preheated oven and roast it for 2-1/4 to 2-3/4 hours, or until the meat thermometer reads 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82 degrees Celsius).  The cooking time will vary depending on the weight of the turkey. As a general rule:  Roast for 1-1/2 to 2 hours for an 8 to 12 lb (3.6 to 5.4 kg) turkey. Roast for 2 to 2-1/2 hours for a 12 to 16 lb (5.4 to 7.2 kg) turkey. Roast for 2-1/2 to 3 hours for a 16 to 20 lb (7.2 to 9 kg) turkey. Roast for 3 to 3-1/2 hours for a 20 to 24 lb (9 to 10.8 kg) turkey.   Note that these time ranges are for an unstuffed turkey. If you stuffed the turkey, you will need to add another 30 to 45 minutes to the cooking time. You should also test the temperature of the turkey breast before removing the bird from the oven. The breast meat must reach an internal temperature of 170 degrees Fahrenheit (77 degrees Celsius). Remove the finished turkey from the oven but let it stand in the roasting bag for another 10 to 15 minutes. During this resting time, the meat will continue to cook, and the juices will distribute themselves and settle more consistently. Carefully slice the top of the bag open with a knife. Remove the turkey and place it onto a cutting board or serving platter.  Be careful when opening the bag. The steam will be hot and may cause mild burns if it comes into direct contact with sensitive skin. To lift the turkey out of the bag and roasting pan, insert one carving fork into each end of the turkey, then lift it straight up and out. Carve the turkey as desired and serve it while the meat is still hot. If desired, you can pour the leftover cooking juices out of the bag and into a bowl or saucepan. Skim the oil and use the rest of the liquid for turkey gravy or broth.

TL;DR in English: Roast the turkey. Let it rest. Remove the turkey from the bag. Serve hot.

Shampooing your hair too often can strip it of its natural oils. Because damaged hair is already dry, you don’t want to dehydrate it any further. If you’re used to washing your hair every day, switch to every other day. If you usually wash every other day, switch to every third day. If you hair is greasy between washes, a dry shampoo can help freshen it. Spray the dry shampoo at roots to soak up excess oils and add volume. Be sure to work it through all of your hair to avoid powdery residue on the scalp, though. When you do wash your hair, it’s important to use the right shampoo. Choose a moisturizing formula that won’t dry out damaged hair. Look for a shampoo that contains hydrating ingredients such as argan oil, macadamia nut oil, or shea butter. Make sure that your shampoo is sulfate-free. Sulfates are harsh sudsing agents that can easily strip damaged hair of essential oils. If you’re used to washing your hair with hot water, it’s time to switch to a cooler rinse. Hot water can dry out your hair, leaving damaged tresses even more brittle and weak. Instead, rinse your hair with lukewarm or cool water to keep the moisture in. For the final rinse of your hair, it’s best to use cold water. It seals the cuticle so your hair appears smoother and shinier.

TL;DR in English: Wash your hair less often. Use a moisturizing shampoo. Rinse your hair with cooler water.

At this point, you should use your experience with previous meetings to determine both the number of people you can expect and how many people you want to be involved in financial and institutional decisions. This process will help you determine the by-law for quorum.  For example, you may find that three people show up to any given meeting, even if you have an eight-person board. In this case, you may overrule your majority quorum in favor of a three-person quorum. If your number of board members is flexible or changes frequently, consider using a percentage of board members present, rather than a set number. Ask the Secretary to write up the number required for a quorum. Give every member of the organization and opportunity to weigh in on the change before the vote.  Before the vote, give the members of the organization the proposed amendment to the quorum by-law in writing, as well as the existing by-law for quorum. Additionally, prior to the vote, provide the by-law as it will read once it is adopted. A two-thirds majority is needed for the vote to pass. Once the vote has been taken for the amendment to your by-laws, if it passes, it is adopted and cannot be reconsidered. However, if the vote fails, the vote can be reconsidered.  Send out the new, updated by-laws to members of the organization and the state and federal organizations that require copies of your by-laws. Remind people that any meeting that does not have a quorum will not be able to do legal business.

TL;DR in English: Decide on the largest number of members that can be expected to attend meetings. Vote on the number required for a quorum, so that you can place it in the by-laws. Adopt or reconsider the amendment to the by-laws.

A serious asthma attack requires immediate medical attention. Take action if you notice any of the following:  Lips or nail beds turning blue or grey Difficulty walking or talking Skin between ribs or above breastbone sucks in while breathing Rapid movement of nostrils, ribs, or stomach while breathing Expanded chest that does not deflate after exhaling Chest pain  For young children — Refusal to eat, inability to recognize parents Asthma is difficult to diagnose at home, and can be fatal in serious cases. If you experience any of the symptoms below, make an appointment with a doctor. If a doctor has failed to diagnose you, and you have one of the symptoms below, visit an allergy and asthma specialist.  Visit the doctor even if your symptoms don't match asthma. It could be another serious condition. Symptoms can change with each asthma attack. The symptoms may last just during the attack, or persist for much longer. Many asthma patients complain of tightness, pain, or unusual sensations in the chest. You may feel like someone is sitting on your chest. Do you ever feel unable to catch your breath, or to draw enough air into your lungs? This is a very common symptom of asthma. Exercising more vigorously than usual can cause this feeling in anyone. It's more likely to be a sign of asthma if even light exercise triggers this feeling. Until you get an official diagnosis, set exercise limits that don't cause breathing issues. Wheezing breath sounds like whistling or squeaking in your chest. This has several possible causes, but asthma patients often wheeze when exposed to allergens or viral infections (such as a cold). Some people with asthma suffer from coughing fits. These often happen at night or early morning, making it hard to sleep. If you or your biological family have allergies, eczema, or skin rashes, you are more likely to have asthma. Kids under the age of five often wheeze due to an infection or cold, even if they don't have asthma. A doctor may not be able to diagnose a child at this age, but he may...

TL;DR in English: Know emergency symptoms. Make an appointment for other symptoms. Watch for chest tightness. Think of times you've felt short of breath. Listen for wheezing. Track your coughing. Consider family history of allergies or eczema. Understand asthma in children.

The paper may not be completely flat after you remove it from the wooden boards. Put the paper under a stone slab for up to 6 days to make it completely flat.  During this time, the sugars within the papyrus will fuse together. If you are pressed for time, you can use the rolling pin to flatten the paper. This step isn't absolutely necessary, but it will make the papyrus look nicer and more finished. Use a shell or smooth piece of ivory. Any type of shell that is smooth and without ridges will do. Rub the shell or ivory over the sheet of paper until it appears to be shinier than it was.  A smooth stone will work as well. Do not rub with too much force or you could rip the paper. The sheet may be larger than you want when it is finished. Use a razor, scissors, or paper cutter to cut the papyrus into smaller sheets. Measure the sizes you are cutting so you will have multiple sheets of the same size. You can  make  a notebook out of the sheets of paper you've just made.

Your doctor will look over your health history and status to determine the next steps. They may recommend changes to your lifestyle before prescribing any medications or supplements. Head out in your neighborhood or hop onto the treadmill at the gym for a 30-minute walk. Go at a moderate-intense pace where you can barely talk or hold a conversation. Walking on a regular basis helps to increase blood flow to the brain and can also improve your blood oxygen levels, which can reduce the possibility of headaches. There is also some evidence showing that walking as soon as you experience headache pains may also reduce the duration of the headache. However, just make sure that you are not experiencing dizziness if you decide to try this out. Potassium-rich foods have been shown to reduce high blood pressure. Try to incorporate cantaloupe, melon, raisins, peas, and even potatoes into your daily diet. If you are worried about your levels, you can also talk with your doctor about taking a daily supplement or multivitamin. Other potassium-packed foods include sweet potatoes, bananas, and tomatoes. Magnesium helps out with many reactions in the body, including regulating blood pressure. Take the supplement daily before bed to help relax muscles, improve sleep quality, and manage hypertension headaches long-term. Magnesium is commonly found in spinach, almonds, and peanut butter. Snoring or restless nights can be a sign of sleep apnea, a condition which, if left untreated, can seriously elevate your blood pressure. Talk with your doctor about signing up for a sleep study. And, if you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, consider lifestyle changes, medication options, or even sleeping with a breathing mask. Sleep apnea boosts the levels of the hormone aldosterone, which can contribute to high blood pressure.

TL;DR in English: Talk to your doctor about managing your blood pressure. Go for brisk walks at least 3 times a week. Ingest between 2,000-4,000 mg of potassium each day. Take a 200-400 mg supplement of magnesium. Get treatment for sleep apnea if you suffer from early morning headaches.

Your first draft can be as long or short as you need it to be, but many institutions and organizations have a word count or page count limits on personal statements.  If your statement is not long enough, you have space to add more supporting information.  When expanding your personal statement, look for ways to elaborate on the information you already have. Include more specific detail to create a fuller picture. Alternatively, you could introduce another point that contributes to your overall statement purpose. While it's not advisable to submit a statement that's too short, you also shouldn't add information just for the sake of having it. If your statement is a paragraph short of a full page but covers all your relevant information, you don't need to expand it. Avoid telling the reader why something is important to you. Instead, explain what you've done to show and develop the skill. When trimming your personal statement down, scan the essay for any parts that do not directly address your point. You should also cut points that only serve to provide background information.  You may also consider reducing your number of main points if one point does not seem especially significant. Unlike a short statement, a long statement can't be left long. Many application programs won't allow you to press the submit button until your statement is the correct length. That means that if your statement is too long, it needs to be cut down. Reading the piece out loud will give you a more accurate idea of how it sounds. As you read, listen for errors or clunky wording. You should also note any sentences that seem out of place or awkward. While listening to your statement, ask yourself if it sounds like your natural voice. If you were describing these things in person, would the way you speak sound like what you wrote? Ask at least 3 people you trust, such as a professor, your business partner, or someone successful in your field, to read over your statement and make suggestions for improvements. Different sets of eyes may...

TL;DR in English: Expand your statement if it's too short. Trim down your statement if it's too long. Read your personal statement aloud. Ask for constructive criticism. Proofread at least twice prior to submission.

Brainstorming can allow for the introduction of new ideas that weren't an original part of your plan. They can also help you get over writer's block at any stage of the writing process. Go somewhere you enjoy being, such as a local coffee house with a great vibe, the beach, the woods, your favorite reading corner. It's important to feel comfortable and at peace. If you're working with a friend or group of friends, find a place where you all feel comfortable and can speak freely without feeling self-conscious. Even when resting you can brainstorm. Lie down when you're tired and think about your novel and let the ideas run freely. Let the ideas flow freely, and don't stifle any of them. You never know which newly surfaced idea might develop further. Record all of the ideas as best you can (writing, recording on a device, filming, etc.). Which ideas have traction? Allow these ones to flourish and turn into real elements within your novel.

TL;DR in English: Use brainstorming for ideas and for moving past blocks. Brainstorm alone or with others. Focus on the part of the story needing new ideas. Allow the ideas to percolate in your mind for a few days afterward. Repeat as often as needed.

Before requesting a member of LEED comes to certify your building, you need know if your building or project is eligible. In general any new building -- commercial or residential -- is eligible to be certified if it is a permanent structure, meets local building codes, and fits the LEED size requirements. New Neighborhoods, building upgrades, and complete remodeling projects can all be LEED certified. There are different processes for all types buildings, including neighborhoods, renovations, and homes. Each certification is done by a different set of professionals:   BD+C: Building Design and Construction. This certifies any newly constructed building that meets LEED requirements.  O+M: Operations and Management. Certifies improvements to existing buildings that makes them more efficient or green.  ID+C: Interior Design and Construction. Certifies interior designs as healthy and efficient work spaces.  ND: Neighborhood Development. Certifies neighborhood construction, design, and planning.  Homes: Certifies individual homes as efficient in energy consumption and wast management. LEED credits add up to form your building's "LEED Score," and includes everything from solar panels to light pollution reduction. A complete list of potential credits can be found in the LEED Credit Library. As you plan your building, discuss potential LEED credits with your architect and designers to maximize your project's green efficiency. To become certified, you need a minimum of 40 credits.  Several credits, like "building water metering" are required to become LEED certified. Buildings can also reach for higher certifications, such as Silver (50-59 points), Gold, (60-79 points) or Platinum (80+ points) certifications. LEED certified Associate Professionals (APs) are trained to help you plan, design, and build LEED specific projects. They are required to pass rigorous exams and continue their education even after their test. When starting a project, look for the title "LEED AP" next to any builder or designer you hire. Each AP...

In most cases, when you purchase your glasses from an optometrist, optical office, or eye boutique, you will also receive a microfiber cloth intended for cleaning your lenses. This cloth is ideal for cleaning smudges and cloudiness.  If you've lost or misplaced your microfiber cloth, find a soft, clean substitute cloth. Cotton, so long as it's clean, should be suitable. It is important to use fabric that is not treated with fabric softener as that can cause streaks on the lenses.  You should avoid using: coarse fabrics, like wool and certain synthetic fabrics, facial tissue, or toilet paper, as these will cause tiny scratches to form on your lenses over time. These solutions are specially formulated to cut through dirtiness without doing harm to your lenses or coatings that may be on your lenses. Spritz a moderate amount of the cleaner onto your lens and wipe it clean with your soft, clean cloth. Do not use your saliva to clean your lenses. Saliva won't clean especially well and is unhygienic. If you don't happen to have glasses cleaner on hand, you can use a drop of dish soap and warm water to cut through grime and leave your lenses pristine. Use your fingers and carefully spread the soap over the surface of your lenses. Rinse the lenses clean of soap with warm water, and you're ready to move on. After applying your cleaning solution, you can take your soft cloth and wipe your lenses dry in gentle, circular motions. You should try not to use scrubbing motions, which can lead to lens damage over time. Depending on just how dirty your glasses really are, you may need another application of cleaner before you lenses become fully clean. After using your cleaner or dish soap and hot water, wipe your lenses with your soft cloth. Oil and dust can collect in the nook between your nose pads and lenses, creating a cloudy film in the area close to your nose. By using a soft bristle toothbrush, dish soap, and warm water, you can bust up this grimy buildup, though you should be careful not to scrub your lenses with the...

TL;DR in English: Acquire a soft, clean cloth. Make use of glasses cleaner. Clean with dish soap and warm water. Wipe your glasses with your soft cloth. Inspect lenses for stubborn stains. Break up nose pad residue.

Opt for clothing made of breathable materials, such as cotton, linen, or jersey. These fabrics will not constrain your body or cause you to sweat in the heat. They are also great for staying cool and put together, even on a hot weather day.  You may look for dresses, tops, and skirts made of cotton or linen. Or you may opt for a jersey dress in a simple cut that you can wear on a hot day. Shorts made of cotton or linen are also good options for staying cool on a hot day. T-shirts and collared shirts made of linen or jersey are also ideal. Fabrics like polyester, nylon, and silk may look nice on but they are not breathable materials. They will cause you to sweat and will retain body odors, making your hot weather day that much more uncomfortable.  You should also avoid clothing made of rayon or wool, as they are not breathable and will cause you to sweat more than you already are in hot weather. Silk is also a fabric that repels water, which will create a rippling effect on the fabric when you wear it on a hot, sweaty day. However, if you need to dress up for an event, you may opt for silk over more constricting fabrics like polyester or nylon. When you are choosing clothing for a hot day, you should go for fabrics that are light in color. Pastels and colors on the lighter end of the spectrum, such as white, beige, and gray, are all good options as they will absorb less sun than darker colors. Avoid clothing in dark colors or jewel tones, like emerald, purple, or blue. You should also avoid black clothing, as it will trap light and make you feel more hot in hot weather. If you work outside often or are walking around outside on a daily basis in hot weather, you may opt for the comfort and breathability of work out clothing. A lot of work out clothing is made of materials that absorb sweat and keep you cool as you sweat. Often, work out clothing is also made to be comfortable and easy to move in as you go about your day. If you work in an office setting or another professional setting, work out clothing may not...

Before you bleach your hair you should apply a deep conditioner to help protect it and keep it as healthy as possible. Bleach will greatly dry out your hair, so adding as much moisture to your hair as possible before you bleach it is an important step. That added moisture will lessen the damaging effects of the bleach.  Wash your hair a few days before you bleach it, but try to hold off until after you bleach it to wash it again. Bleaching freshly washed hair can irritate your scalp, so it's best to bleach hair that has more natural oils in it. You can use a few tablespoons of olive oil or coconut oil as an alternative to deep conditioner. These products will still condition your hair, giving it the moisture it needs. Put on an old t-shirt or towel to prevent bleaching your clothes and gather the ingredients and tools you will need: a small bucket or a color bowl to mix the bleach, a tint brush, and rubber gloves. You can purchase bleach for your hair at a local drugstore or cosmetics store. You'll also need to buy some developer, which helps to lift hair color quickly. Follow the directions on the label to mix the bleach and developer together.  The higher volume of developer will lift more levels of color out of your hair. A lower volume developer will lift less levels of color out of your hair, leaving it a darker shade after you have finished bleaching it. If you want to take it easy and bleach your hair slowly, it's best to use a lower volume developer. Salons usually use a 20-volume developer. A bleach and developer mixture is what salons typically use to bleach hair. You can definitely a purchase a boxed-dye mix, but you can't customize it to suit the needs of your hair. It's beneficial to buy the items separately. The cost will be about the same and you'll have better luck protecting your hair. Some people have allergic reactions to certain hair products, so you'll need to test a portion of your hair to make sure the bleach doesn't harm you. Take the mixture and using a toner brush, apply to a one to...

TL;DR in English: Pre-condition your hair. Gather ingredients and prepare your area. Mix bleach with a developer. Test a strand of hair. Section your hair into four parts. Apply the mixture evenly through your hair. Wrap your hair in foil. Let your hair sit for 30 to 45 minutes. Apply toner to your hair. Rinse out the toner and apply conditioner. Repeat this process two weeks later.

This is a middle ground approach, moderately effective and relatively easy to install. You can expect it to add roughly 6 to 9 "STC points," reducing loud conversations to indistinct speech or murmurs. If you're trying to block music and other loud noises, decouple the ceiling instead. Use the decoupling method for concrete ceilings as well. Drill a quarter-sized hole in the ceiling and look for insulation. If none is present, blow in cellulose or medium density fiberglass insulation. There is no need to repair the holes afterward, since you will be installing new drywall underneath.  Do not install new insulation if there's any old insulation, even if it's worn out. The old insulation will prevent you from blowing in new insulation evenly. Avoid foam insulation and expensive "extra dense" products. These can make low density vibrations worse. "Green Glue" or another damping compound will reduce vibration between the two layers of material. Apply it to the back of a new sheet of drywall, according to label instructions.  ⅝" (15.9mm) drywall is recommended, since extra mass blocks more sound. However, if the existing drywall is ⅝" thick, choose ½" (12.7mm) sheets for the new layer. Different thicknesses resonate at different frequencies, so two different types will block more sound.  You can buy pre-dampened drywall, but this is expensive and no different from what you could make yourself. . Screw the drywall to the underside of your ceiling. Try to keep the gap around the perimeter as small as possible. Even a narrow gap around the perimeter or ceiling fixture can let a lot of noise through. Before choosing an acoustical caulk, read the label carefully:  Confirm the caulk is suitable for use on your materials. Check whether you can paint over the caulk. If not, make sure the color matches your ceiling. Consider a fire-resistant caulk to prevent spread of fire between floors. This may be required by your local building code. The damping compound is a major part of this installation. It may take ten days or...

Use a toothpick to poke a hole or indentation into the bead before you bake it.  The indentation should be centered over the position you plan to drill a hole through. This indentation can serve as a guide when you start drilling into the hardened, baked bead later. If you forget to make the indent

Indent the surface just before baking. Choose the right tools. Secure the bead. Drill slowly straight through the bead. Check the results.

Many people jump straight to drastic measures instead of simply talking to the neighbor about their concerns. Unless you're on bad terms with your neighbor, the best way to solve this problem is usually to just talk to him or her about it. You could casually approach your neighbor next time you see him or her outside, or write a note asking to set up a time to talk.  Your tone at this point should be friendly and be respectful, yet firm. Don't make legal threats; you may have to do that later, but for now, try to keep things civil. Assume your neighbor is unaware of the problem. Say something like, "I knew you'd want to know that Sadie's barking is audible to us at night, especially since our bedroom faces your yard." Explain that the barking is having a negative effect on your sleep, concentration, and so on, and that you would like to work out a good solution. Thank your neighbor for hearing you out and making a change. Most considerate neighbors will do their best to accommodate you right away. It's possible your neighbor is well aware of the issue but isn't sure how to  get the dog to stop barking. If you're pretty sure you know what the problem is, there's nothing wrong with making suggestions. This is especially effective if you're a dog owner, too. You can commiserate over how tough it can be to get a dog to stop barking. Here are a few common problems you might consider bringing up:   Dogs kept outside commonly bark from boredom; this is especially true for energetic breeds like German Shepherds, terriers (including Pit Bulls), and guard dogs like Dobermans and Rottweilers. Suggest that the dog needs more exercise.  Some dogs are very excitable and nervous, and they bark at everything that passes. Obedience training can be very helpful. You might want to provide the names of a few well-rated training schools in the area. Dogs also bark when they're either too cold or too hot. Many people have the misconception that dogs' fur keeps them warm in subzero weather; it's not the case unless the dog is a...

In a large bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, sherry, and one tablespoon of the soy sauce. Add the beef to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat the beef in the sauce. Set the bowl aside for 10 minutes to let the meat soak up some of the sauce. Instead of sherry, you can also use Shaoxing wine, or another rice wine. Pour 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the cooking oil into a skillet or wok. Heat the wok over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the meat. Cook the beef for a minute. Use a spatula to flip the meat, and cook it for another minute. Good oils for stir frying include peanut and canola. When the meat is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and set it aside. Add the remaining cooking oil to the wok and let it heat up. When the oil is shimmering, add the onion and garlic, but reserve the scallions. Heat the onion and garlic for one to two minutes, until they become aromatic and start to brown. For an even heartier dish, add 1 cup (75 g) of chopped mushrooms to the wok with the onion and garlic. In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, pepper, salt, and the remaining soy sauce. To give the sauce more depth, use a combination of regular and dark soy sauces. You can use ground black pepper, ground white pepper, or white pepper powder in the sauce. Add the meat back to the hot wok. Stir the meat a few times. Add the sauce to the wok and stir to combine all the ingredients. Cook the mixture for one to two minutes, until the beef is cooked through. When the meat is cooked through, add the scallions to the wok. Toss them a few times to warm them and coat them in the sauce. Serve the beef and onion stir fry immediately while it’s still hot. You can serve this dish on its own, or with steamed rice or noodles on the side.

TL;DR in English: Marinate the beef. Brown the beef. Cook the onion and garlic. Make the sauce. Heat all the ingredients together. Garnish with scallions and serve hot.

If possible, use a toothpick to poke a small hole or indentation into the bead before you bake it.  The indentation should be centered over the position you plan to drill a hole through. This indentation can serve as a guide when you start drilling into the hardened, baked bead later. If you forget to make the indentation before you bake the beads, you can still poke a hole into the bead just after it bakes, while the clay is still warm and partially soft. You will need to use a rigid metal pin or needle instead of a toothpick, however. If you are working with polymer clay beads that were baked long ago and cannot create any indentation, consider at least marking the spot you want to drill a hole through with a pencil or marker. Since polymer clay is such a soft material, you should not use a power drill or power rotary tool to create a hole. All you need to use is an unpowered drill bit.  The drill bit should be about as small as the size of the desired hole. This means sticking with drill bits 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) or smaller. Common drill bits should suffice. There is no need to use a harder bit material. Place the bead in a small patch of toy putty or poster putty so that it will remain still during the drilling process.  Alternatively, you can hold the bead with pliers or in between your fingers. Since you will not be using any power tools, it should be safe to hold the bead. A small clamp could also be used, but it usually isn't necessary. Position the drill bit directly over the indentation. Use your fingers to twist through the bead, continuing at a steady pace until the bit pierces through the opposite side.  The drill bit should be straight and perpendicular to the guiding indentation previously created on the surface of the bead. Make sure that you are twisting the bit straight through the bead. Apply as little pressure as possible and avoid forcing the bit through the bead. Alternatively, you can hold the bit still while twisting the bead onto it. If you are unable to twist either the bit or the...

Make sure that the shoes are clean first, then start doodling. If you are worried about making mistakes, you can sketch your design out lightly in pencil first. You can use all one color, such as black, or many colors. If you are using multiple colors, put the lighter colors down first, then the darker ones, and finally your outlines. Here are some ideas on what you can doodle:  Write your name, nickname, or initials Swirls, spirals, squiggles, and zigzags Lightning bolts, hearts, or stars Fake studs or gemstones Smiley faces or skulls Flowers, birds, or butterflies Polka dots, checkered, chevron, etc Use super glue or an industrial-strength glue (such as E6000) to attach a pendant or brooch to the front part of a fancy dress shoe. If you want a non-permanent option, use some large, fancy clip-on earrings or shoe clips. Simply slip them over the front of the shoe so that the design rests right over the toe area. Whatever you choose to use, just make sure that they match. You can also make your own shoe clips by purchasing some blank clip-on earrings, and then hot gluing some fancy brooches or pendants to them. Take out the old laces and use them to measure out some ½ to 1 inch (1.27 to 2.54 centimeter) wide satin ribbon. Cut both ends of the ribbon at an angle. Seal the edges with fabric glue or super glue so that they do not fray. Use the ribbon to lace up your shoes instead of regular shoe laces. You can use any color of ribbon you want, but a matching color or a contrasting color might look the best. For example:  If your shoes are white, consider getting a teal or black ribbon. If your shoes are light blue, they might look good with a light blue, dark blue, or white ribbon. Use super glue or E6000 to attach the rhinestones. The stones should not be wider than the strap. You can use varying sizes, shapes, and colors, but try to arrange them in a pattern instead of randomly. This will make them look more professional. You can also glue rhinestones to other areas of the shoe as well. If this is a pair of...

TL;DR in English: Doodle on canvas shoes with permanent markers or fabric markers. Add some embellishments to the front toe area. Change out plain shoe laces for a shiny ribbon. Glue rhinestones along sandal or flip flop straps. Wrap ribbon around the straps of a pair of flip flops to make them look more dressier.

Try to look for a pack of pipe cleaners that has at least 6 colors in it. You’ll need different colors for the different parts of your DNA model. Plus, they’ll make your model more vibrant and interesting to look at!  If you can’t find a pack of pipe cleaners with 6 colors in it, that’s okay. You can use the same colors for different sections of your DNA model if necessary. You can find pipe cleaners at your local craft store or department store, or you can order some online. Your DNA model will have strands that run along the outside of the model and strands that are on the inside. The colors you choose for the strands don’t matter, but try to use 6 different colors if you can.  For example, you could choose blue and pink pipe cleaners for the outer strands and green, yellow, purple, and red pipe cleaners for the inner strands. The 2 colors for the outer strands will represent sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate, while the 4 colors for the inner strands will be the cytosine, thymine, guanine, and adenine. It doesn’t matter which inner strand pieces you pair with each outer strand, but try to only use 2 inner-strand colors per outer strand. Make sure all the nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) are represented on each outer strand. In order to do this, assign a particular color to each base.  For example, you could use red for adenine, blue for thymine, green for cytosine, and yellow for guanine. After you’ve assigned the colors, you can accurately pair the complementary bases. Adenine always pairs with thymine, while guanine pairs with cytosine. So, if you have a red (adenine) pipe cleaner on one side, put a blue (thymine) pipe cleaner in the same spot on the other side, and so on. Once you’ve paired up the inner and outer strands, keep them separated so you don’t get all of the pipe cleaners mixed up.

TL;DR in English: Purchase a pack of multicolor pipe cleaners. Choose 2 colors for the outer strands and 4 colors for the inner strands. Pair 10 inner strand pieces with each outer strand.

Asking her out while she is in a group or around people in general may embarrass her. Instead, wait until you have the opportunity to spend some time alone together. It should be your goal to make her feel as comfortable as possible when you ask her out. At this point, you should have built up some kind of relationship with her. Act like you usually do around her. Acting too nervous or overbearing could make her feel uncomfortable. Approach at a time when you normally see her. If you want to make the moment special, you could ask her to go for a walk in the park first This is an easy way to give her an idea that you like her and think highly of her. You can compliment her looks by saying “You look beautiful today.” Or, you can compliment aspects of her personality. For example, you could say “I think you are incredibly smart and kind.” Don’t overdo the compliments. One or two nice compliments to begin with is enough. You can ask her as casually or as formally as you’d like. If you want to be casual, say something like "Hey we can grab dinner later if you aren’t busy.” If you want to make sure your intentions are clear you can say, “I’m really starting to like you, and I would like to take you out on a date if that’s okay with you.” If she says no, simply back down and say maybe another time. If she says yes, act pleased and make plans. Either way, you should react in a way that makes her feel comfortable. Don’t be angry with her if she says she’s not interested.

TL;DR in English: Wait until she is alone. Approach her in a casual manner. Start with a compliment. Ask her to go a date with you. Give a positive reaction to her answer.

You can find condoms at discount stores like Wal-Mart and Target as well as drug stores like Walgreens and CVS. These places stock a variety of general purpose condoms from popular brands like Trojan and Durex.  Look for condoms near the store’s pharmacy or personal hygiene area. Depending on the store, expect condoms to cost between $2 and $6 for a box of 3. Though you can get generic condoms at discount and drugs stores, adult shops may be your only option for finding unique or whimsical contraceptives. In addition to purely functional varieties, adult stores offer a wide selection of fun condoms with differing textures, colors, tastes, and scents. Normally, adult shops charge significantly more per condom than discount or drug stores. In certain cities and towns, you can acquire free or discounted condoms from your doctor’s office or a local health center like Planned Parenthood. Some places keep their condoms in an open area where you can take as many as you need. For others, you may have to request the condoms directly. Check websites like http://condomfinder.org to locate free condom distributors near you. If you’re in high school or college, check with your campus’ health center, dorm office, or counselor’s office to see if they offer free condoms. Though not all do, many schools give out free contraceptives in hopes of reducing unwanted pregnancy and the spread of STDs.

TL;DR in English: Buy general purpose condoms at a discount or drug store. Purchase specialty condoms at an adult store. Pick up free condoms from a local health organization. See if your school offers free condoms.

Ideally, you should bake your cheesecake at a temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius). Extreme temperatures and dramatic temperature changes can cause the cake to crack, but cooking the cheesecake at a fairly low temperature can minimize the risk. You can bake a cheesecake at a lower temperature if the recipe calls for it, but avoid temperatures that are higher than this. At high temperatures, the egg proteins over-coagulate and cause the cheesecake to split apart at the surface. Instead of keeping the oven on the entire time, turn the temperature off after about 45 minutes. Leave the cheesecake inside for another hour or until done. The batter should continue to bake inside the warm oven. Gently baking the cheesecake for the final hour prevents it from over-baking, which is important since over-baking can cause cracks to form.

Roll the throttle back towards you to rev up the engine. Ease off the throttle to slow down. When you need to stop, you can simply let go of the throttle. It will spin back to its original position.  Aim on turning the throttle about ⅓ of the way back once you have completely let go of the clutch. Keep a hand on the throttle at all times, but never panic. Some riders freeze up when they get too fast. Stay loose to keep control of the bike. You start off in first gear, and as the bike builds speed, the engine gets louder. When you bring the throttle about ¾ of the way back, the bike won’t go any faster. You have to press the clutch in and pull the gear shifter up at the same time to keep going.  Remember that adult dirt bikes go as high as fifth gear, so you may need to do this a few times. There is no display telling you what gear you are in, so you have to listen and get a feel for how the bike operates to know when to shift. The same rules apply when slowing down, except you push the gear shifter down. To slow the bike, lay off the throttle and shift down as needed. Step lightly on the brake pedal to slow the bike.  Stop the bike by reaching first gear, then pulling in the clutch. Press down on the brake pedal to bring the bike to a halt.  Using the clutch prevents the bike from stalling as it slows. You can also tap the handbrake to slow the bike, but avoid relying on it. Many beginners make the mistake of squeezing it hard. Since it operates the front wheel, the bike comes to a sudden halt, but you keep going over the handlebars. When you come upon a corner, lean the bike in the direction of the turn. Put your inside foot down to help you turn. Shift your body over so the outside edge of the seat is directly under you. Keep your weight on the outside peg as you go through the turn.  Stick your elbows out so they are parallel to the handlebars. This will give you more control over the bike. Putting your foot down also allows you to steady the bike in case you take the corner too sharply. Dirt bikes are...

TL;DR in English: Turn or release the throttle to control the bike’s speed. Use the shifter to change gears when the engine works too hard. Hit the back brakes to slow down or stop. Lean to the side to maneuver around corners. Practice driving on rough terrain when you get comfortable riding.

Use a brush to neatly comb back your hair. Gather it into a ponytail and secure it with an elastic either at the top of your head for a top knot or the back of your head for a regular bun. Wrap the end of the pony around the base, and pin it in place with bobby pins. You can also leave your hair down if you prefer. For a front of the head bun, you should use a large rectangular scarf. Carefully fold the scarf lengthwise into a thin band that’s approximately 3-inches (8-cm) wide. If you prefer, you can fold the scarf smaller than 3-inches (8-cm).

Other than luxury sports cars, small cars generally cost less than larger models. They also consume less fuel, which will save you money over the long term. Opt for a smaller car if it suits your lifestyle and if your family can fit comfortably inside. Many small cars are surprisingly roomy inside. Visit a dealership to see them in person before dismissing them for being too cramped. If you have kids, intend to have kids in the near future, or drive around friends or family on a regular basis, opt for a 4 door car over a small 2 door car. The process of pushing up a front seat to let your backseat passengers in and out of the car will likely grow tedious over time. Sedans and hatchbacks with 2 doors are good choices with affordable options on the market. If you regularly transport 4 or more people and need lots of trunk space, opt for a large vehicle to suit your needs.  A minivan or SUV can carry up to 8 passengers when equipped with a second-row bench seat. Some large vans can accommodate up to 15 people. Pick up trucks are popular and powerful vehicles with a range of options and features. If you intend to pull a trailer or haul multi-ton loads, look for a full-sized, heavy-duty pick up truck. If your cargo transport needs mostly involve hauling dirty items that you wouldn't want in the interior of a vehicle, like construction debris and mulch, opt for a compact pick up truck.

TL;DR in English: Buy a smaller car if you want to save money. Avoid 2 door cars for a family of more than 2 people. Get a full-size minivan or SUV to suit a large family. Opt for a pick up truck if you regularly transport large items.

Real flowers can make your bedroom smell delicious, but fake flowers look great and last forever. Roses are all over Paris in the springtime, and they will make your bedroom look stylish and elegant. Peonies, daffodils, irises, and tulips are also Parisian flowers, and would look great in a Paris-themed bedroom. Don’t underestimate how much the perfect curtains can transform a room. Choose something soft and romantic, like a sheer fabric or one with ruffles or lace. These add a touch of elegance to your Parisian room, while also blocking the light so you can get your beauty sleep. You can find Paris-themed accent pillows at various home décor stores, like Bed, Bath, and Beyond, Pottery Barn, WalMart, and Target. These are cheap accent pieces that can really bring together your Parisian theme. Opt for a mix of colored pillows and black and white pillows of different shapes and sizes. Romantic pillows like lips and hearts look great, especially mixed with pillows of French phases and images. Throw in a couple of black and white striped or polka-dotted pillows, and your bed will be looking very Parisian. This is the cherry on top of a Parisian bedroom. Not only do chandeliers add soft light to your bedroom, but they are a classic and stylish fixture. You can find miniature chandeliers meant specifically for bedrooms on various home décor websites.

A fashion bust to hang your jewelry on will make your room look very high-fashion and classy. Hanging little twinkling lights along the perimeter of your ceiling will cast a soft, romantic glow over your whole room, a la the “City of Lights.” Hanging a small clock on your wall set to Paris time is a sweet accent that will make your bedroom feel like a little French nook. Get creative! Your room is your oasis, and it should be exactly as you like.

Make your video on a non-controversial topic and avoid cursing. Parents have a lot of concerns about their children's social media use. Issues like safety, privacy, and online harassment may be major concerns for your parents. Write out a list of any concerns your parents may have and think of ways to address them.  If your parents are worried about your privacy, offer to keep your face out of your videos. You can make videos using graphics or drawings with you doing a voiceover instead. If your parents are worried about online harassment, tell them you'll try not to think too much about negative comments and block anyone who's bullying you online. You can also tell them you'll disable comments on your videos. It can help to practice asking a few times. You can rehearse in front of a mirror or jot down your thoughts.

Depending on the type of cake, cooling using this method can be done in just a couple of hours. Here are some things to consider:  Angel food cakes, pound cakes, sponge cakes and other light and fluffy cakes can cool in the refrigerator in about 1-2 hours.  This method may not be the best choice for a cheesecake, as quick changes of temperature can upset the structure of the cake, causing cracks. For rich, creamy cakes that are served chilled, this method may take you up to 4 hours.  If you are cooling a traditional cake, this method will take you about 2-3 hours. Once your cake is fully cooked, use oven mitts to carefully take it out of the oven and place it on the kitchen counter. Let your cake sit for 5-10 minutes. Here are some guidelines to consider:  If you are working with a cheesecake, or other creamy cake, it is recommended that you turn off the heat and let your cake cool in the oven for about an hour before transferring your cake to the refrigerator. If you don't have the time, you can put your cake in the refrigerator although it may crack slightly.  If you are working with cheesecake, run a butter knife along the edge of the cake and the pan while the cake is still warm, this will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan later. You may want to place your cake pan on a wooden surface like a cutting board to protect your countertop from heat damage. After allowing it to cool briefly on the countertop, place your cake pan in the refrigerator for another 5-10 minutes. This will further cool the cake without causing it to dry out. It should be pretty cool to the touch after 5 or 10 minutes. Here are some things to consider:  If you are cooling a sponge or angel food cake, it is recommended that you cool the cake upside down. This can be done by turning the pan upside down and setting the tube part over the neck of a stable bottle. Turning it upside down for cooling helps prevent it from collapsing as it cools. If you are cooling a pound cake, it is recommended that you take it out of the pan to cool...

TL;DR in English: Decide how much time you have. Remove your cake from the oven. Put your cake in the fridge. Wrap your cake in plastic wrap. Let your cake cool in the refrigerator for an additional 1-2 hours. Loosen your cake from the pan. Remove your cake from the pan.

Slice the plums in half around the pit, working with a small, sharp knife. Pull the halves apart, remove the pit, and discard the pit. Make sure you work with a knife small enough to handle. A large knife is not appropriate for cutting plums. Do not use a baking pan to make prunes in the oven. A lot of juices will leak from the plums during the drying process. If plums are on a baking pan, they will stick to this surface. Instead, use an oven rack. Make sure to space the plums evenly on the oven rack. If the plums are touching, this may affect the dehydration process. As the process can make a mess on the bottom of your oven, consider setting something down to catch the drippings. Some people find success laying a single sheet of foil on the bottom of the oven. However, the foil may melt and it does not work for gas ovens. You could try lining a baking tray with foil and setting that under the plums. You should set the oven as low as possible. For most ovens, that is 200 degrees Fahrenheit. If your oven is different, simply set the oven to the lowest possible temperature. Make sure to place the oven rack in the oven slowly. You do not want to knock the plums around. You should flip the plums every few hours so they dry out evenly. You should also check on how the dehydration process is coming along. You want your prunes to be slightly soft and juicy, while also being dry to the point of having a wrinkled, dark appearance. This also depends on personal preference. Some people prefer prunes slightly dryer while some prefer them juicier. Do not remove the prunes until they're at your desired state. While most prunes will be ready at this point, vigilant checking is important. Some prunes will be ready sooner than 8 hours, and some will need a little more time. The prunes will probably be ready at slightly different rates. Remove them as needed.

TL;DR in English:


Identify dry soil by its light-colored, compacted appearance. Recognize moist soil by its muddy, mossy appearance. Spot dry soil by its inability to hold shape or stain. Identify moist soil by its ability to stain and hold shape.

Some experts think it’s fine to shower every other day, but this depends on whether or not you’ve been sweating or if you have body odor. The standard is to shower at least once daily using a mild, gentle soap. Avoid harsh soaps, which will strip your skin of moisture.  Be sure to scrub in all of the crevices – behind the knees, between your toes, under your arms and so on. Avoid hot showers and baths – use warm water instead. Using hot water can strip the oils from your skin. Flouride toothpaste is recommended. Wet your toothbrush and put a dollop of toothpaste (about the size of a small pea) on the bristles. Gently brush each tooth in a circular motion, taking care to clean the front, back, and sides of every tooth. Brush your tongue with your toothbrush to remove any buildup on it, which is one of the main causes of bad breath.  Gargle with an antibacterial mouthwash after brushing your teeth.  Be sure to swish it all around in your mouth, including between your teeth. Get a new toothbrush every three months, or whenever the bristles start to fray and bend. Use an 18 inch piece of floss. Wrap most of it around the middle fingers of each hand, leaving one or two inches between them. Gently push the strand between every tooth, sliding the floss up and down. Wrap the floss around the base of each tooth to remove debris, making sure you go beneath the gumline. After showering and toweling off, apply an antiperspirant or deodorant underneath both arms. This will help you control any sweating you do during the day, as well as manage any body odor you might have. If you’d prefer to use something more natural and with fewer chemical additives, check your local health food store for options.

TL;DR in English: Shower every day. Brush your teeth twice per day. Floss at least once per day. Use an over-the-counter antiperspirant or deodorant.

If you have a PS3, disconnecting it will prevent your controller from attempting to sync with your PS3 rather than your Mac. To ensure this, you can do a couple different things:  When connected to a PS3, hold down the PlayStation button and select "Turn off Controller". When disconnected but still on, insert a paperclip into the reset hole near the L2 button. This should go in one of the rectangular USB slots in the side of your Mac's casing. This is the Apple-shaped icon in the top left corner of your Mac's screen. This will open your Bluetooth menu. If your Bluetooth detection isn't already on, turn it on by clicking the "On" and "Discoverable" checkboxes. Let go when the red light near the PlayStation button flashes; this indicates that your PS3 controller has reset its default sync settings. Your PS3 controller should now be syncing to your Mac. This will prompt you to enter an access code. Exclude the quotation marks and click "Pair" when you're done. On some operating systems, this will say "Accept" instead of "Pair". It should display as "PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller". This is in the toolbar at the bottom of the Bluetooth menu. This will ensure that your PS3 controller is locked into your Mac's settings. Although there aren't many games released for Mac, your PS3 controller should work with any that are!

TL;DR in English: Disconnect your PlayStation 3 (optional). Make sure your PS3 controller is off. Connect your PS3 controller's USB cable to your Mac. Click the Apple menu to open it. Click "System Preferences", then click the "Bluetooth" tab. Hold down the PlayStation button for two to three seconds. Unplug your USB cable from the Mac and PS3 controller. Click the "+" button in the bottom left corner of the Bluetooth menu. Enter "0000" into the pairing code window. Click the PS3 controller's name in the Bluetooth Preferences window. Click the gear icon. Check the "Add to Favorites" and "Update Services" options. Use your PS3 controller with any game of your choice.

A wide, padded clothes hanger is the best option for minimizing wrinkles and stretch. Avoid using clothes pegs, which cause a great deal of stress to a small area. Direct sunlight can fade the leather's color or cause spotty discoloration. Heat can cause dryness and cracking, so store the jacket in a cool location away from heating vents and other heat sources. Leather will last longer if exposed to dry air, especially a light draft. Never store leather inside a plastic bag or underneath plastic sheeting. When storing leather in a bag temporarily, open the bag whenever convenient to expose it to the air. Storing your jacket inside a closet is fine, unless the closet is unusually hot or damp. Leather can absorb insecticides. If this occurs, it may not be possible to remove the smell, or even the toxin, from the jacket. In addition, mothballs and similar home pesticides are most effective in small containers, which are not ideal homes for leather.

TL;DR in English: Hang on a padded clothes hanger. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat. Make sure the leather can "breathe." Keep leather away from pesticides.

This substance is completely natural and safe for use around humans and pets, but it kills ants and other crawling critters. It's composed of ground up fossil pieces that cut into insects' exoskeletons when they walk over it. Sprinkle diatomaceous earth in corners, under the sink, in windowsills, and anywhere else you often see ants.  Every week or two, vacuum up the diatomaceous earth and replace it with fresh powder. This substance doesn't work as well in humid areas, since it loses its sharpness when it becomes wet. If you have a lot of black ants on your carpeting, cover it in a fine layer of baking soda, let it sit for a few hours, then vacuum it up. You can also apply cornstarch to a surface and vacuum it up immediately before you try to vacuum up the black ants. The added cornstarch in the vacuum will suffocate the animal. Certain natural sprays act as insect repellents. You can easily make your own by adding 10 drops of essential oil to a cup of water, then pouring it into a spray bottle. Spray the mixture all over your house to keep ants away. Here are a few essential oils to try:  Eucalyptus oil (don't use this one if you have a cat) Tea tree oil Lavender Peppermint Lemon Windex You might already have a box in your laundry room. This household substance doubles as a very effective insecticide. Simply sprinkle boric acid in corner and around room perimeters. Ants and other critters will die after crawling over the powder. If you don't have any other repellent on hand, try sprinkling some cinnamon in the room where the ants are gathering. Ants are repelled by the fine powder and strong smell. While sprinkling cinnamon won't kill the ants, it might keep them from coming back.

TL;DR in English: Use diatomaceous earth. Use baking soda to clean carpets. Try an essential oil spray. Use boric acid. Try cinnamon powder.

If you’re just trying to get a general idea of how dry or moist your soil is, simply take a good look at it. If it’s a light color, such as tan, and/or is hard and compacted together, then your soil is most likely on the drier side. This may mean that you need to water your soil more. Keep in mind that some soil naturally looks lighter, despite the amount of moisture in it. Familiarize yourself with how your specific type of soil typically looks before you assume that it’s dry. Soil that has a lot of moisture in it tends to be waterlogged and squishy. This is a good environment for growth, so you may also notice that moist soil has moss and other greenery growing on its surface. If your soil looks like this, then you may need to install an irrigation system to keep your plants from getting root rot. Pick up a handful of the soil. Close the soil tightly in your hand and then open your hand back up. If the soil remains in a loose pile, then it may be dry. Drop the sand and brush the soil off of your palm. If your hand looks relatively clean, this is further proof that the soil is dry. If you close the soil in your hand, open your hand back up, and the soil has stuck together and formed into a ball, then it’s likely moist. You may also assume that the soil is moist if your hand is heavily stained after you’ve dropped the soil and brushed it off.

TL;DR in English:
