Add a title page to the beginning of your report. Write in clear and objective language. Include any relevant pictures if desired. Proofread your report

You may want to involve a family member or friend in this process so that you can make sure that you get all of the details that you need. Making an informed decision is important.  You may want to look at your plan’s brochure or schedule of benefits before actually contacting the insurance company. These written insurance materials should also have details about what is covered in your plan. If you don’t have insurance then treatment may be a little more difficult to obtain. However it is important to figure out how you are going to pay for your treatment. There are many social service programs that may be helpful. In addition, family and friends may be willing to assist financially so that you can get help. In general, the difference between the two treatment options is the level of intensity. Although both types can offer effective treatment programs, inpatient services tend to be more intense. Inpatient programs allow you to live at the facility with other people who are recovering from addictions and participate in daily meetings and support groups. Outpatient programs generally include counseling and monitoring but are not as intense as inpatient facilities.  Consider how severe your addiction is when deciding what type of treatment to undergo. If the addiction is severe and you are concerned that remaining at home while in treatment will result in you dropping out of the program, then an inpatient program is probably your best option. If the addiction is not extremely severe and you have other responsibilities like a job or children, you may want to consider an outpatient program. When making this decision you may want to asking for feedback from family members and other people who care about you. They may be able to see the situation a little more objectively. If you choose inpatient treatment, try to visit the facility in advance so that you are comfortable with where you will be living for the next few weeks or months. Be sure to tidy things up before you begin treatment. If you will be in inpatient...

TL;DR in English: Call your insurance company to see what services and facilities are covered under your plan. Decide if you are going to receive inpatient or outpatient treatment. Prepare for treatment. Quiet your mind. Ask for support. Go to treatment. Participate in treatment. Prepare for the withdrawal. Congratulate yourself.

If you can, try to dress like you “belong” at the haunted house. Wear dark jeans, a black T-shirt or jacket, and comfortable shoes. This might seem like a strange strategy, but wearing dark clothes makes you seem like  less of a haunted house newbie, which might discourage actors from targeting you. Dressing in black will also make it harder for the actors to notice you in the dark house. Haunted house actors tend to go for the people who are shrieking, laughing, running, or otherwise showing that they're freaked out! To avoid being targeted, try to stay as calm and in-control as you can and avoid singling yourself out.  If you get scared, tamp down on your reactions as much as you can. Instead of lurching back or yelling, try to just jump slightly and gasp. Take deep breaths and move slowly through the haunted house to stay in control of your reactions. You're in a haunted house, so you can safely assume that you'll be face-to-face with a scare every time you turn a corner. The shock of this can be more scary than anything, so try prepare yourself ahead of time. Tell yourself calmly that something might jump out at you around this, but that you're ready for it, so you won't get scared. When something does pop out, diffuse the tension and lighten your mood by thinking something like, “Wow, big surprise!” Staying relaxed and acting unaffected in a haunted house might be hard, but it's a great way to show actors that you're not afraid. While some actors might take this as a challenge, most try to go for the people who seem like the easiest to scare, instead of the ones looking them in the eye. Taking a position at the front gives the impression that you're not afraid of what's coming up next. The actors at haunted houses know that easily-scared people tend to stay in the middle or back of a group, so they'll often target that area, leaving the people in the front alone. You might even be able to tiptoe past before the actors even notice you.

TL;DR in English: Dress in all black so you don't stand out as much to actors. Avoid screaming or laughing, which will make actors want to scare you. Expect a scare around every corner so they don't catch you off-guard. Make eye contact with the actors and stand up straight to show that you're not afraid. Stand at the front to show that you're not the most scared in your group.

Ghosting is when you exhale some of the smoke, then inhale the cloud back into your mouth. Open you mouth roughly halfway and slowly exhale the smoke from your mouth for a few seconds. Be gentle, keeping the smoke from getting too far from your face. Think of letting the smoke escape, instead of forcing it out. Keep your lips together and lean forward, sucking up all the smoke like a vacuum or Ghostbuster. Let the smoke out of your mouth and then bring it back, but you can do it much faster with a snap inhale:  Curl your tongue up to the roof of your mouth with your lips still closed and mouth filled with smoke. Snap your tongue down as your mouth opens to push the smoke out in a puff of air. Suck back in the cloud of smoke like a normal ghost, but do it quickly, before it fades away.

TL;DR in English: Keep the smoke in your mouth after a medium-sized drag. Open your mouth and exhale gently. Quickly inhale the smoke back. Adapt this into a "Snap Inhale" as you get more comfortable.

The acidity of the lemon juice will help lift the stain over time, usually after a week of persistent cleaning. To do so, cut a lemon and lightly scrub your hands with a slice. Once the stained parts of your nails and fingers are covered, use a pumice stone of loofah to gently scrub your hands. Over a week or so, you should see significant lightening. For significant stains, try a cleaning "bath:"  Mix the juice of 1/2 a lemon in a bowl with hot water. Crush up and stir in 2-3 tablets of aspirin, which contains an acid that can remove nicotine stains. Soak your hands in the aspirin/lemon solution for 15 minutes, once a day. There is an enzyme in raw potato that helps slough away stains. To use it, cut the potato in half, then gently massage the cut side into the stain for 10-15 minutes. After a few treatments, you should see your stains lightening. The best way to fight nicotine stains on your teeth is to be proactive. After smoking or chewing, get to work on your teeth with a toothbrush and some fluoride toothpaste.  Toothpaste is also an effective stain remover for your skin as well. You can use it around your lips, scrubbing in lightly with a warm washcloth, for a gentle alternative to lemon juice. If you smoke at work, bring a travel toothbrush and paste. The sooner you get to work cleaning your mouth after smoking, the better your teeth with be. Baking soda is a mild abrasive that can remove stains over time. Once a day, along with regular brushing, use a little warm water and a sprinkling of baking soda to clean your teeth. Use a soft brush to protect your gums as well. It won't taste good, but it will attack the nicotine stains. Nicotine stains will not disappear from your teeth or skin overnight. They are deep, persistent stains that need constant attention. The best way to decrease them is to decrease the amount you use nicotine, as this allows your cleanings a chance to make a difference.

TL;DR in English: Try scrubbing your fingers with lemon juice once a day. Use potatoes to remove stains from skin. Brush your teeth regularly, especially after smoking. Brush once a day with baking soda. Know that these stains take time to remove.

The title should be the name of the visit and site, such as "Visit to Airplane Factory" or "Corporate Headquarters Visit Report." Under the title, include your name, your institution, and the date of the visit. Do not put any other information on this page. If you are following a certain style guideline, like APA or Chicago style, make sure to format the title page according to the rules of the handbook. Keep your sentences short and concise. Avoid writing with too many adjectives or flowery language. This will make your report clear and direct. Don’t just say “the visit was interesting” or “I was bored.” Be specific when describing what you learned or saw. While pictures are usually not required, they may be helpful in some visit reports. Group photographs, images of machinery, or graphics demonstrating the layout of the site might be helpful. carefully. Check for any grammatical errors or typos. Ask someone else to read over it for you to make sure it sounds good. If you’re a student, check your professor’s guidelines to make sure that you have all of the required parts.

TL;DR in English:


Take action early. Tell your friend not to drive anywhere. Be firm. Remember who you’re talking to. Lay your feelings on the line. Get support from others.

Show respect and be polite to your grandparents. Even if they ask the same questions over and over or struggle to hear what you say, show your care in how you interact. Respond in a calm tone when they ask you questions or need something. If they are talking, listen patiently without interrupting them. This shows that you value and respect them. Take a break if you’re feeling frustrated. Come back in a few minutes after you’ve cooled off. One of the greatest ways to show care is by spending time together.  Spend time getting to know them. Watch a favorite television show, take a walk in the park together each week, or get together each week for dinner. Have them teach you a game, then teach them one you know. Have something special that you do together. For example, take a walk at the park each week or go for ice cream together. Ask your grandparents about their memories and stories from their lives. Get to know your family history. Ask about their life, and ask what it was like you have your parent as their child. Consider drawing a family tree and make it with your grandparents. Grandparents are some of the best people to go to for advice. They have lived much longer than you have and had lots of experiences, both good and bad, to share with you. If you have something weighing on your mind, bring it to a grandparent to discuss. Not only will it give you a new perspective, it will also make your grandparents feel appreciated and valued. Ask advice about things like going to college, dating, marriage, and kids. If you want a second opinion, go to a grandparent. Some days may be harder than others, but remember that you are doing something for someone you love. If your grandparent asks for a lot of help, think about what you are willing and able to do, then do it with a positive attitude. Especially if your grandparents feel lonely, make an effort to be sociable and happy around them.

TL;DR in English: Be polite. Spend time with them. Inquire about their lives. Ask for advice. Be cheerful.

and drain 1 cup (175 g) of short-grain rice. Measure out 1 cup (175 g) of short-grain rice into a bowl and fill it with enough water to cover it completely. Stir the rice around with your hands, then drain it through a fine mesh strainer. Repeat the process until the water you drain away is clear and not cloudy anymore. Rinsing rice removes all the starch from the outside and makes it less sticky. When the water runs clear, it means you have washed away all the starch. Set the pot with the rice and milk on a burner on the stovetop. Turn the burner’s heat to medium-high, then bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Turn the heat down to low so the mixture is just simmering. Put a lid on the pot to cover it. Make sure that the rice and milk are simmering gently while covered. If the mixture starts to boil, decrease the heat further so the milk doesn’t get absorbed too fast. Continue to let the rice and milk cook until it has thickened but there is still creamy liquid visible. Stir the pot after the first 10 minutes and after 18 minutes to mix the rice and milk together and check the consistency.

TL;DR in English: Rinse Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer the mixture over low heat for about 20-25 minutes, stirring twice.

Wash 4 oranges and use a sharp knife to cut each orange into four pieces or wedges. If you're concerned about consuming pesticides, use organic oranges in this recipe. Pull the fruit away from the peels. Take a spoon and scrape away as much of the white pith as you can. Use a knife to cut the peels into long, narrow strips. They should be about 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) (6 mm) wide. You can eat the fruit or save it to use in another recipe. Place the strips of orange peel into a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover them. Turn the heat on to high and bring the water to a boil. When the water boils, you can turn off the heat and place a colander in the sink. Drain the water through the colander and return the strips to the saucepan. Fill the pot with new water so the orange peel strips are covered. Bring the water to boil and drain it again. Repeat this another time for a total of three times. Drain the strips into the colander. Boiling the strips and draining them three times removes the bitterness from the peel. Place 3 cups (600 g) of sugar into the empty saucepan and pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of water. Stir the mixture and turn the heat to high so it begins to boil. The sugar should dissolve and turn into a syrup. Insert an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature of the syrup. Once the temperature is at 230 degrees F (110 degrees C), stir in the orange peel strips. Turn the heat down to a gentle bubble and let the strips simmer for about 30 minutes.  The strips should become almost clear once they've finished cooking. If you live at a high elevation, you may need a much longer cooking time. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to scoop the orange peel strips out of the saucepan. Place them in a single layer on a wire rack and let them cool for 4 to 5 hours. They should completely dry out. For an extra crunch, you can roll the strips in some granulated sugar before you dry them. Eat the strips or garnish desserts with them as soon as they're dried. You can store the leftover candied orange...

TL;DR in English: Wash and cut the oranges. Peel and cut the peels into strips. Boil and drain the strips. Boil and drain the strips two more times. Create a simple syrup. Add the strips and simmer them for 30 minutes. Dry the strips for 4 to 5 hours. Use or store the candied orange strips.

Whether you keep a more old-fashioned paper file or a digital file, make a single place for all of your financial records. Create subcategories that identify the type of bill or expense.  If you're keeping digital records, you may be able to use your email account to help organize your records. Use the same email address for all of your bills and create tags or filters to put those billing statements in categories. To reduce clutter in your inbox, open a separate account for bills and don't use that email address for personal email. You can also scan your bills and make PDFs to keep on your computer as a digital copy. Keeping your income statements and receipts in one place will make for fewer headaches come tax time. If you're keeping paper files, create a separate folder specifically for deductible expenses.  Within your file for deductible expenses include files with categories, such as home and office expenses, mileage and vehicle expenses, childcare expenses, and medical expenses. Go through your expense files at least once a month. If you paid a bill that you believe is deductible, move it to the deductible file (or make a copy of it and keep it in both places). Any document that has your signature, account number, medical, legal, or other identification information should be shredded rather than simply thrown in the trash. By leaving this information intact you are putting yourself at risk for identity theft.  If you don't own a shredder, you can buy a basic one online or at office supply stores for typically around $20 or $30. There are more expensive versions that may shred faster, or shred more documents at once, or that also shred CDs or credit cards. It's up to you whether a fancier shredder is worth the investment for you. You can also subscribe to a shredding service if you don't want to do all that work yourself. For example, in the US, office supply stores such as Staples or Office Depot will shred your documents for you at the rate of about $1 per pound. Just as you may do a spring cleaning...

TL;DR in English: Keep all of your statements and billing notices in one place. Include income statements and receipts for deductible expenses. Buy a shredder to use when disposing of financial documents. Purge records you no longer need once a year.

Don’t wait until the end of the night when your friend might be tired and belligerent enough not to listen to you. If you can tell that your friend is well on his way to drunkenness and characteristically fails to see that he needs to relinquish his keys, act early on so that you don't make a scene or cause unnecessary conflict. The worst thing that could happen is that you were a bit too cautious and end up returning the keys with a laugh to your now-sober buddy. You may need to be more assertive than you're used to, and even handle accusations that you're spoiling the fun or trying to be controlling. Be prepared to be talked back to, and don't take rude charges personally. Remembering that it's the alcohol talking, stay polite and calm. Tell your friend that you care about him and that this is why you must try to prevent him from creating a situation where he or others are in harm's way.  Always refuse to get in the car with your friend. This can be another gesture to show him that you are serious about not trusting his ability to operate a vehicle.  If the situation allows for it, pepper your talk with some jokes or light comments. While firmly maintaining that he not drive, you can still say things like "Man, we'll be talking about this night for a long time!" or "Good thing I'm just as stubborn about this as you are!" This will make you sound a little less insistent and parental. If there is someone else around who is a closer friend to your buddy than you are, inform them of the possible danger. Your friend might listen better to someone who he is more comfortable with or has known for a longer time. You may not be sure whether or not you are getting through to your friend, but it is important to stick by your warning. Ask your friend to repeat back to you what you said to make sure that they have a minimal grasp on what's going on. For example, "I am asking that you not get in the car right now, and we are willing to help you make other transportation arrangements. Do you understand?" If your friend...

Learn to accept yourself as you are now. Challenge negative thoughts. Reevaluate your beliefs. Determine if there is a deeper problem.

You should still pursue activities you enjoy, even if they trigger your partner’s anxiety disorder. Being a supportive partner doesn’t mean their anxiety should take over your life.  Suppose they have social anxiety, but you love to go to concerts. If your favorite band comes to town, go to their show with a few friends. They don't have to go, but you shouldn’t sit it out just because your partner can’t tolerate large crowds. You can’t force your partner to do something that makes them uncomfortable, and they can’t force you to give up your passions. Furthermore, keeping up with your hobbies and interests is an important part of maintaining your own physical and mental health. Try to find time to read a good book, listen to music, take a bubble bath, or do other relaxing activities. If you can't fit daily me-time into your schedule, try to fit it in at least a few days a week.  Juggling daily responsibilities is stressful enough; supporting your partner can add even more pressure.  Managing stress will help you maintain your own mental health and avoid burnout. Being stressed out and stretched thin would take a toll on you, your partner, and your relationship. If you’re frustrated or overwhelmed, you’re better off talking to a friend or relative than you are taking it out on your partner. When you need to vent, call a trusted loved one and confide in them. Finding a support group or seeing a counselor individually can also help you maintain your mental and emotional well-being.

TL;DR in English: Pursue your own interests and hobbies. Set aside time to relax. Keep in touch with your support system.

Each allele will fit into the two boxes below it or to the right of it, depending on its placement. For example, if the allele B is in the horizontal top-left corner, write B in the two left boxes below. If the allele B is in the vertical top left corner, you must write B in the two boxes to the right. Continue to fill in the boxes with alleles until each box has two alleles, one from each parent.  The convention is to always write the capital dominant allele first followed by the lowercase recessive allele. For our hair color example two brown-haired parents could either be BB or Bb. You would have to know their specific genotype. However, if the parent is blonde you know their genotype is the recessive bb. For a monohybrid cross, there are only three possible genotypes: BB, Bb, and bb. BB (brown hair) and bb (blonde hair) are homozygous for a gene meaning that they have two identical alleles for one gene. Bb (brown hair) are heterozygous meaning that they have two different alleles for the gene. Some crosses may only give you one or two genotypes.  For our example, using the cross BB x Bb, the Punnett square would show the possibilities as two BB and two Bb. If you cross two homozygous parents with the same genotype (BB x BB or bb x bb) all of the genotypes will be homozygous (BB or bb). If you cross two homozygous parents with different genotypes, BB x bb, all of the genotypes will be Bb. If you cross a heterozygous with a homozygous parent (BB x Bb or bb x Bb), you will have two homozygotes (BB or bb) and two heterozygotes (Bb). If you cross two heterozygous parents, Bb x Bb, you will have two homozygotes (1 BB and 1 bb) and two heterozygotes (Bb) Using the counts from the previous step, you can determine the phenotype ratio. A phenotype is the physical characteristic of the gene, such as hair or eye color. Assuming the trait shows complete dominance, the heterozygous genotype (the cross showing dissimilar pairs of genes for a hereditary characteristic) will display the dominant phenotype. In the BB x Bb...

TL;DR in English: Match the alleles together using the boxes as guides. Count the number of each genotype. Calculate the phenotype ratio.

Pour 2 cups (470 ml) of vegetable oil into a deep pan and adjust the stovetop temperature to a high setting. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the oil as it heats. Once the oil has reached the desired temperature, use a slotted spoon to carefully place 1 pocket into the pan. Set the timer for 20 seconds and use a slotted spoon to remove the pocket once the time is up.  You may be able to fit more than 1 ravioli pocket in the pan at a time. Just make sure that the pockets aren’t touching, otherwise, they will stick together as they cook. The short deep-frying time of only 20 seconds is necessary so that the deep-fried beer remains alcoholic.  The ravioli pockets need to be more soft than crispy when making deep-fried beer. As each ravioli pocket is removed from the pan, transfer it directly onto a plate that is covered with paper towels. This will help to absorb the extra oil. Place the ravioli pockets next to each other rather than stacking them. When the deep-fried beer pockets have been removed from the pan, they will be hot and may burn you if you touch them. Leave them to cool on the paper towel for a few minutes before enjoying your first taste of deep-fried beer!  Hold the deep-fried beer pockets upright as you eat them, otherwise, the beer will spill.  You can serve the deep-fried beer pockets with cheese sauce for dipping.

TL;DR in English: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan until it reaches 325 °F (163 °C). Deep-fry the ravioli pockets in the oil for 20 seconds each. Place the ravioli pockets on paper towels to soak up the excess oil. Let the deep-fried beer pockets cool for 3-4 minutes before serving.

You may experience some or all of the following:  Agitation and anxiety Muscle aches Tearing Sweating Insomnia Runny nose Abdominal cramping Diarrhea Vomiting Dilated pupils Chill bumps Keep your tablet or TV and DVD player nearby so that you can watch some lighthearted movies. Make sure that your room is at a comfortable temperature, and make sure that you have some soft blankets and maybe a fan. Prepare to change your sheets often because of sweating. Wear loose and comfortable clothing. Again, you'll probably have to change clothes a lot because of the sweating. If you don't plan to check yourself into a rehab facility, then stay with someone who can support you during the withdrawal period. Withdrawal may take up to 2 weeks, so try to take some time off of work. If you have a family, then check yourself into a rehab facility or go somewhere where your children won't have to see you going through withdrawals. Reduce your doses of opioids or medications by about 20 to 25 percent every 2 or 3 days to minimize withdrawals. Check out your local methadone clinic so that you can gradually wean yourself off of narcotics by taking gradually decreasing doses of methadone. Community detox will allow you to go on with your daily life without checking in to an in-patient facility. Withdrawal can bring out these negative behaviors, which could put you in real danger. If you have a history of depression or other psychiatric problems, then do your detox under medical supervision. Rehab will give you a variety of in-patient treatment options:   Detox under anesthesia. With this kind of detox, you are placed under anesthesia and given substantial doses of opiate-blocking drugs. Use caution with this method because opiate withdrawal often causes vomiting, and you can aspirate or choke on vomit when you are under anesthesia.   In-patient therapy and support groups. While you stay in a rehabilitation facility, you can talk to counselors about your addiction or you can spend time in support groups with other addicts. Try some...

TL;DR in English: Know what symptoms to expect so that nothing catches you by surprise. Prepare a comfortable environment. Avoid going through withdrawal alone. Take some time off from your usual activities. Slowly taper off your narcotics. Try community detox. Go to a psychiatric ward or other inpatient psychiatric facility if you've had episodes of suicidal thoughts or hurting yourself in the past. Check yourself into a rehabilitation facility. Give yourself a lot of positive reinforcement. Remember to eat food and drink water. Get some light exercise. Believe in yourself.

Even if you are overweight, your body is still an amazing thing. Your heart never stops beating. Your brain is a super-computer. Your eyes allow you to see the wonders of life and your environment. You have so much to be grateful for if you are able to see, hear, smell, move, and think for yourself. Practice a few body-loving exercises to learn to accept your body as it is.  As you rise from your bed each morning, wonder at the strength and perseverance of your body. Your legs carry you around. Your arms tie your shoes and hold objects. Your nose can catch the scent of fresh-brewed coffee. Isn't your body a miracle? Stand in front of the mirror and think positively about what you see before you. Before you step into the shower or change clothes, stand naked or in your underwear and admire your miraculous body. Recite this:  “I fully accept and love myself right now just the way I am. I’m grateful for my wonderful body and for the gift of life.” If, during the course of these exercises, negative thoughts enter your mind, don't entertain them. Instead, reflect upon how awesome your body is.  Reframing means changing your negative perspective into a positive one. It takes practice but once you are able to identify which thoughts are unhelpful or negative (Hint: Those that make you feel bad.), you can tear this self-talk apart and reframe it. For example, you might say: "I look terrible in this outfit. Everyone will laugh at me." While reframing, ask yourself has there ever been a time when everyone laughed at you. If the answer is no, you can reframe this statement to say "Everyone has a different idea of style. I like this outfit and that is what's most important." This reframing is not only more positive but also more realistic. Sometimes, we feel bad about ourselves because we are holding on to ingrained beliefs about what we should or should not be. An example of an ingrained belief is, "In order to be attractive, I have to be thin." Know that it's OK to release beliefs that no longer serve you.  Ask...

An agent can help get your script into the right hands. Agents will list on their website specific instructions on how to submit your writing. The Writer's Guild of America is a reputable resource for finding agencies.  Almost all agents will require a query letter. This is a letter in which you sell your writing and yourself to the agent. Some require a specific format so check their website. All are looking for something that stands out so make sure your letter highlights the best parts of you and your writing. An agent shouldn't charge upfront to represent you. Most agents' fees are 10-12 percent after they broker your deal. If an agent asks you to pay a fee just for representation, move on to another agency. You can look up information online about how to submit your script to them as they have specific, individual instructions. Many do not accept scripts, depending on legal issues with their current shows. The ones that will accept them usually have instructions on their company site for submitting episode manuscripts. Becoming a writer's or producer's assistant is an excellent way to get your foot in the door of TV writing. You will not make much money, but you will be exposed to a TV show from the off camera point of view. This will allow you to read scripts, see how writers and producers work in real time, and make numerous connections within the industry. Check out the job opportunities section on the home page of the production company you are interested in joining. Search online for workshops, conventions, or meet and greets in your field. Join media groups online and follow them on social media. The more connections you make, the better your chance of getting a foot in the door.

TL;DR in English: Get an agent. Send your script to TV showrunners and executive producers. Apply for a job as an assistant. Network as often as possible.

Stop dressing and acting like you're hot stuff. You know the guy: the one that looks like he just stepped out from doing his test shots with a cheesy modeling agency, the one who gives The Look to every hot girl that walks by. Don't be that guy. Yes, women are initially attracted to this. But eventually they think that you're more interested in attracting women, in general, instead of attracting them.  Don't dress overly flashy and try to focus on wearing things that you know she likes, rather than trying to think about looking how you think women like. You should similarly save the flirting and close conversations for her and not use them with other women. Taking care of yourself shows her that you can also take care of her if she ever wants to be taken care of. Practice good hygiene and exercise. You don't need to worry about losing weight, but you should feel healthy and in shape. Similarly, eat a healthy diet! Dressing poorly by wearing clothes that don't fit or have stains or holes show a woman that you don't respect yourself (which doesn't work in your favor!). Dressing in clothes that are out of date (too old fashioned), usually shows that you are mentally stuck in that time and cannot move forward. In order to show a woman that her heart is safe with you, dress in modern clothes that look good on your body, fit, and are clean. Women love someone who smells great. Shower regularly, use deodorant, brush your teeth, and you might even want to consider using a cologne or body spray. Citrus scents usually make for a clean scent that isn't overpowering, so they are a good place to start if you're not sure. Confidence is sexy to everyone! Show her how confident you are by taking initiative, never talking poorly of yourself, and speaking up for yourself (with other people too, not just around her).

TL;DR in English: Don't try to attract every woman, try to attract her. Take care of your body. Dress like you mean business. Smell great. Be confident.

Rollers should be left in your hair for around 10 hours so a good time to have them in is while you sleep. Since you will need to wash your hair before putting in the rollers, it also makes sense to do this at night. It is best to put in the curlers when your hair is damp so that the curls last longer. Additionally, the hair will be easier to work with if it is damp.  Let your hair air dry rather than using a towel. Using a towel will make your hair difficult to put into rollers. Only use water when washing your hair before a curling. Combing your hair can help straighten it out so that the rollers will be more effective. Refer to this article about combing for more information. Continue combing until the comb does not catch any knots. It is best to use a spray as a cream can leave white flakes behind in your hair. Let the spray sit in your damp, combed hair for around 3-5 minutes before putting in the rollers. Divide your hair into equal 1-inch wide sections. Roll each of these sections into the roller so that your hair looks uniformly curly after the rollers are removed. Continue putting in the rollers until all of your hair is rolled up. If you do not have naturally curly hair, hairspray is the key to ensuring your curls will last a long time. Do not use much more than three sprays since too much hairspray can be damaging to your hair and the environment. Remove the rollers slowly so that your hair does not snag. Instead of pulling the rollers, roll them out. Reverse the process of putting them in. Apply even more hairspray to ensure that your curls last for a long time.

TL;DR in English: Start this process at night time. Wash your hair then let it dry so that it is damp. Comb your hair to remove any knots. Apply a curling enhancer before putting in the rollers.

Pour ice into a mixing glass and add 2 fluid ounces (59 mL) of overproof bourbon whiskey and 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) of sambuca. Then add 4 dashes of bitters and stir the ingredients together. Finally, use a strainer to strain the cocktail into a small rocks glass with ice.   Add 2 twists of lemon peel to the top of the drink for a zesty garnish. You can use other forms of whiskey besides bourbon for this drink, though you should make sure that the drink you use has a relatively high proof so that its flavor isn’t totally masked by that of the sambuca. Fill a mixing glass with ice and pour 0.75 fluid ounces (22 mL) of cinnamon liqueur, 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) of vodka, and 0.5 fluid ounces (15 mL) of sambuca into the glass. Stir the ingredients together and then use a strainer to strain the cocktail into a chilled cocktail glass.  This drink is sometimes referred to as a “10 Below cocktail.” You can garnish this drink with a preserved, sweetened cherry, such as a maraschino cherry. Place ice inside a cocktail shaker and add 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) of sambuca, 0.5 fluid ounces (15 mL) of lemon juice, and 0.25 fluid ounces (7.4 mL) of simple syrup. Shake the ingredients together and then use a strainer to strain them into a champagne flute. Finally, add a long, skinny lemon peel to the cocktail and then top the whole thing off with 4 fluid ounces (120 mL) of sparkling wine.  Make sure you add the lemon peel before you add the sparkling wine, as pouring in the wine without the lemon peel already in the cocktail will cause it to bubble up too fast. You can also add a brandied cherry to the drink as a final garnish. You may see this drink referred to as a “Sambuca 75,” as it’s a variation of an established cocktail known as the “French 75.” Simply pour 2 fluid ounces (59 mL) of gin, 1.5 fluid ounces (44 mL) of sambuca, and 3-5 dashes of orange bitters into a mixing glass with ice.

The first sentence of your paragraph needs to be the topic sentence. A topic sentence is an introductory line that addresses what the main idea or thesis of the paragraph is going to be. It should contain the most important and relevant point you wish to make regarding your topic, thus summarizing the paragraph as a whole. Don't: use an obvious fact as your topic sentence.Do: feel free to start with a vague idea if you feel stuck, and improve it once you've finished the paragraph.  Every other sentence you write should support the topic sentence and provide further detail and discussion of the issues or ideas it raises. If any sentence you write cannot be directly related to the topic sentence, it should not be included in this particular paragraph. More experienced writers can include their topic sentence at any point in the paragraph; it doesn't necessarily need to be the first line. However, writers who are new or less comfortable with paragraph writing should stick with having the topic sentence first, as it will help to guide you throughout the rest of the paragraph.  Your topic sentence should not be too broad or too narrow. If your topic sentence is too broad you will not be able to discuss its ideas adequately in your paragraph. If it’s too narrow, you won’t have enough to discuss. Once you have written and are happy with your topic sentence, you can start to fill in the rest of your paragraph. This is where the detailed, well-structured notes you wrote earlier will come in handy. Make sure that your paragraph is coherent, which means that it is easy to read and understand, that each sentence connects with the next and that everything flows nicely as a whole. To achieve this, try to write clear, simple sentences that express exactly what you want to say.  Link each sentence with transition words which form a bridge between one sentence and the next. Transition words can help you compare and contrast, show sequence, show cause and effect, highlight important ideas, and progress smoothly from one idea...

TL;DR in English: Write a topic sentence. Fill in the supporting details. Write a concluding sentence. Know when to move on to a new paragraph.

Look at the inside of a ring's band to find the hallmark that indicates the platinum purity. Find this marking as a sure way to determine that the ring is truly made of platinum.  You may need a magnifying glass to see the fine engraving on a small ring. If there is no engraved hallmark, the ring is not platinum, or is made with less than 50% of it and cannot be considered and marked as platinum. Check the inner band for a symbol that you can use to quickly identify if the ring is made with real platinum. The type and presence of the symbol depends on the country of origin; sometimes there may only be words and numbers instead of a symbol.  In the U.S., you will see a symbol that resembles a house shape (triangle atop a rectangle), or simply a combination of letters and numbers. In India, you will find a symbol created by an uppercase “P” and a lowercase “t,” followed by the number 950. In China, you will find the English letters “Pt,” perhaps alongside other Chinese characters. In Japan, you will see “Pt” followed by the number 850, 900, 950, or 999. Look at the numbers and/or letters that are given as part of the platinum hallmark. The letters will designate the ring as platinum, while the numbers indicate how many parts out of 1000 are pure platinum by weight.  If letters are given, they will say either PT, PLAT, or PLATINUM, which indicates that the ring is at least 95% platinum.  In the U.S., the number given before or after these letters can be 850, 900, or 950. This indicates that the ring is made with 85%, 90%, or 95% pure platinum, respectively. The other percentage of the ring composition is a metal that the platinum is alloyed with to make it harder.

TL;DR in English: Locate the hallmark on the inside of the band. Look for a symbol that indicates platinum. Read the letters and numbers of the hallmark.

It is important for everyone to get the recommended amount of sleep for their age, regardless of a busy schedule. Proper sleep allows your muscles to relax and heal after a long day. If you exercise during the day and get inadequate sleep at night, your muscles won’t be able to relax and you’ll likely experience muscle tension during the day. Teenagers should shoot for about 8 hours of sleep per night, and adults should try to get at least 7 hours of sleep. to loosen muscles in your shoulders and chest. Taking slow and deep breaths can help you relieve muscle tension by spreading oxygen throughout the body. Slowly inhale for 4 seconds, then exhale for 4 seconds.

For even better results, choose a detangling conditioner--this will make it easier to detangle your hair. Once your hair is clean, comb it with a wide-toothed comb, starting from the ends.  This method works best for kinky or naturally curly hair. It won’t work on braids or relaxed hair. Brush your hair with a Denman brush while it is still wet to enhance natural curls. Detangle your hair with a wide-toothed comb while the conditioner is still in it. Always start from the ends and work your way up to the roots. Choose a styling gel meant for bringing out curls, and apply it to 1⁄2 to 1 in (1.3 to 2.5 cm) sections of hair. If you need to, run a wide-toothed comb through your hair to evenly distribute the gel.  When buying gel, look for labels such as "For Curly Hair" or "Curl Defining." Focus more on the ends and mid-lengths. The closer you get to the roots, the less product you should use. Grab a thin section of hair from the back of your head, right at the nape. Run a medium-toothed comb or Denman brush through the section, starting at the roots and finishing at the ends. Pull the hair strand firmly enough so that it becomes longer and the curls smoother.  Repeat this process for the rest of your hair. Start in the back of your head and finish in the front. Mist your hair with water as you work so that it does not dry. It must be damp. How long you sit under the dryer depends on how thick and porous your hair is. The thicker and more porous it is, the longer it will take to dry.  If you want your hair parted in a specific way, create the part before you sit under the dryer. You can also use a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment at home. This helps elongate and set the curls while dispersing an even airflow. Due to your hair type, you shouldn't be washing your hair more than once per week. When you do wash your hair, however, the style will come out. Your hair will still be naturally curly, but the curls won't be as defined. To define them again, you'll have to repeat the process in this section.

TL;DR in English:


Validate the other person’s feelings and point of view. Establish what changes you need to see. Collaborate on a plan and a singular vision. Thank the person and walk away.

Pink comes in many different shades, ranging from very pale to very dark. Each shade has its own benefits and will do different things for your overall look. For example:  Try a light shade if you want something that is easy to work with and maintain. Examples include: baby, cotton candy, pale, and pastel. Try a bright, neon-shade if you want a longer-lasting dye job. Examples include: atomic, carnation, cupcake, flamingo, magenta, and shocking. Stick with a deep shade if you have dark hair and can't bleach it light enough. Examples include: bordeaux, eggplant, violet gem, and virgin rose. In most cases, you should match your hair's tone to your skin's undertone. For example, if your skin has warm (yellow) undertones, choose a warm shade of pink that has orange or yellow tints to it. If your skin has cool (pink) undertones, stick with a cool shade of pink with hints of violet or blue. If you can't decide on a color, go to a wig shop and try on wigs in various shades. In most cases, you will need to bleach your hair. Keep in mind, however, that you can only bleach your hair so much. In these cases, you may have to settle for a darker shade of pink. For example, if you have dark brown or black hair, you may not be able to bleach it light enough in order to get a pastel pink shade. You may have to settle for a darker shade of pink instead. If you work in a professional environment with a strict dress code, that bright shade of pink may not be the best choice and may earn you a citation--the same goes for schools. If you work in an environment that allows for creativity (i.e. an art studio or an art school), then you might look right at home with your hot pink locks.  If your school or job has a strict dress code, consider a more natural shade of pink, such as rose gold. Ask your principal/employer if the color your want will be acceptable.

TL;DR in English: Decide how light or dark you want your hair to be. Choose a shade that flatters your skin's undertones. Be willing to compromise and choose a darker shade if you have dark hair. Select a shade that complies with your school or work dress code.

Fruits and vegetables are loaded with nutrients and fiber, and they’re lower in calories than most other foods; especially if they're organic (pesticide-free).  Fill up half of your plate with 1 to 2 servings of vegetables or fruits at each meal. This will help you to fill up faster and stay full longer.  You can steam, stir-fry, roast, or boil your vegetables. Prepare them however you like! Try having a side salad or raw vegetable slices with your meal if you don’t want to cook vegetables. If you’re in a hurry, opt for a fresh whole fruit that you can eat on the go, such as an apple or banana, or grab a container of cooked fruit. Whole-grain versions of carbohydrate-dense foods are healthier for you because they contain more fiber and nutrients. They also help to keep you full and sustain your energy levels for longer. Opt for whole wheat bread, whole-wheat pasta, and brown rice, instead of white versions of these foods. Some other healthy whole grains you might include are:  Quinoa Barley Rye bread Oats Protein should make up about 1/4 of your plate at each meal. Protein-rich foods include meat, fish, beans, and eggs. Some dairy products are also high in protein, such as cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. Opt for lean proteins, such as skinless chicken breast, tilapia, ground turkey, beans, tofu, and egg whites. This will reduce the amount of fat and cholesterol in your diet, which is better for you overall. Check the item’s packaging to find the serving size. Serving sizes vary among different types of protein foods. For example, a serving of meat or fish is 3 oz (85 g) while serving of beans or cottage cheese is 1/2 cup (120 g). A healthy level of fat in your diet is between 20 and 35%. For someone following a 2,000 calorie diet, this would work out to about 44 to 77 grams of fat daily since each gram is worth about 9 calories. But it’s best to consume healthy fats, such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, and limit or avoid unhealthy ones, such as saturated fats and trans fats. Include 2 to 3...

TL;DR in English: Fill your plate half-full of vegetables and fruits at each meal. Include whole grains and limit refined carbohydrates. Add a serving of lean protein to your plate at each meal. Limit your intake of oils and fats. Drink mostly water and limit or avoid sugary drinks. Allow yourself the occasional treat and don’t make any foods “off-limits.

Monster cards are summoned to attack your opponent’s Life Points and defend your own. They are usually orange (effect) or yellow (normal) in color, but there are many other colors as well. Monsters have levels, ranging from 1-12, which are indicated by the stars along the top, and a symbol in the top right corner indicating Attribute. Above the card text, the Type, the kind of monster, and monster abilities such as Tuner or Flip are written in bold. The Attack and Defense stats are listed as ATK and DEF along the bottom.   Effect monsters have effects which affect the game, but normal monsters only have lore. Effect Monsters are the most commonly used type of monster, as their effects can be quite powerful. Normal monsters are not as useful, but have some good support and are used in certain types of decks. Extra Deck monsters without an effect are Non-Effect Monsters, neither Normal nor Effect monsters. Tokens are a type of monster summoned by an effect. They can be represented by anything small that can indicate attack and defense position. Token cards cannot be in either deck, and can only exist face-up on the field. Therefore they can't be sent to Graveyard or banished for cost, flipped face-down, or become Xyz Material. They are treated as Normal monsters, and are given their name, attack, defense, level, attribute, and type by the card used to summon them. Official Token cards are gray. Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link monsters cannot exist in the hand or deck, and must go in the Extra Deck. Xyz monsters have black backgrounds, and Ranks instead of Levels. Synchro monsters are white, Fusion monsters are violet, and Link monsters are blue with a hex background. They each have their own specific summoning methods and must first be Special Summoned using that method before they can be summoned any other way (revived from the Graveyard, etc.). Some of these monsters have special requirements for the monsters used to summon them (known as the materials), which are written on the first line of the text. Ritual...

TL;DR in English: Use  monster cards. Summon your monster to the field. Use special summoning: Enter the Extra Monster Zone. Cast spell cards. Play trap cards.

Any writing instrument will do for note-taking. However, a rollerball pen has less friction against the paper and will allow you to write more quickly across the page. If you are left-handed, you may want to buy a felt-tipped pen to prevent smudging. Sometimes professors or speakers upload or share their notes. These notes can take the form of a slideshow, an outline, or just a text document. If you have access to these documents, print them out, read them ahead of time, and bring them to class. This way, some of the notes are already taken for you and you can simply add additional thoughts during the lecture. Writing down everything the teacher says will waste time. Instead, pick up on larger, overarching issues. You should be writing out short sentences, no more than five words. You can always come back to a concept or ask a question. You will waste time if you move at your own pace, so don’t spend time finishing up a section to your satisfaction while your professor moves on. Instead, switch concepts when they do. Professional stenographers use a special system of writing called shorthand. But there is no need to learn this specialized knowledge. Instead, figure out a personal shorthand that works best for you. Here are some ways you can try shorthand:  Use abbreviations for both proper nouns and long and tedious words. For example, write “US” for “United States,” but also "w" for "with," "b/w" for between, "ex" for "example(s)." Drop articles like “the,” “an,” and “a.” Drop vowels. For example, write “trnsfrmtn” instead of “transformation.” Use arrows and lines to convey relationships instead of cumbersome sentences. For example, instead of saying “the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand IN 1914 caused World War I,”  say, “ass. F Ferdinand → ww1 - 1914” Write in cursive. Like the gel pen, writing in cursive will shave off note-taking time because your pen never leaves the paper. Take a moment after the lecture or class and revisit your writing. This time is when the information will be freshest in...

TL;DR in English: Use a rollerball pen. Print out any available materials. Listen for key concepts, don’t transcribe. Move on when the professor moves on. Use shorthand. Revisit your notes after class is over.

Now you can further connect with this person by explaining that how she feels is valid. However, it's her actions which aren’t valid.  If you’re in a workplace scenario where you are talking to a coworker you can say something like “I understand that the workload and meeting deadlines can be stressful. And you’re right to feel angry or upset, I feel that way sometimes.” By connecting with this person, even if it’s hard to, and validating her feelings, you are changing your relationship in a positive way. Instead of being enemies, you are now on the same team. Be clear about what kind of changes you need, and don’t get emotional or irrational.   You need to set boundaries with the other person. If you outline boundaries for what’s acceptable or what you will put up with, you can begin to work on a resolution. If you know that certain things won’t change, focus on things you can change. If you’re in a workplace scenario and this person is never meeting deadlines and always coming in late, focus on one problem at a time. Assertive people will be clear about what is needed but without berating a person. Aggressive behavior involves piling on and being accusatory. If having this person meet deadlines is more important than coming in a few minutes late, be clear about it. Say “You haven’t met the last three deadlines, and I need you to meet your deadlines going forward. And if you can’t, then I will have to review your employment status with the company.” You’re not circumventing the situation at hand and being vague when you are concrete and specific. Now ask this person what the two of you can do to make what you need a reality. Formulate a plan that puts both of you on the same page.  Being assertive means working together while resolving an issue. Aggressive people will demand a change but not help. And passive-aggressive people will solve a problem without communication at all. If you need this person to start meeting deadlines, then together, communicate on how that can be achieved. Offer alternative...

There are few more common, and more awkward, social moments then the debate between a hug and a handshake. One of the best indicators is someone's hands. If they extend their right hand towards you you can be pretty sure they want a handshake. However, if their hands move out, opening up their torso, there is a good chance they're expecting a hug. If you end up stuck between a hug and a handshake, simple wrap one arm around the lower back for a one-handed hug. Lean in so that one of your shoulders touches his, but don't feel like you need to really embrace him if you don't want to. You can keep some distance, or angle your body away from him to keep things casual. This is a great way to end an awkward "what should we do" moment. Just wrap the arm, hug quickly, then stand back. There is no reason why you can't stick your hand out or simply move to a hug if you want. Without fail, the guy will adapt to you, so just take the initiative and move in however your feel comfortable. Just make eye contact and go for it-- there are very few guys who do not enjoy a hug from a woman. That said, there are times when you're better off sticking to a handshake, such as:  Buisness or professional settings. The first time you meet him. When you are unsure about his boundaries If you do not know/feel unsure about local or international customs. This can demonstrate a sense of ease or camaraderie. For example, you start with a quick wave, a high-five or a fist bump. This sets a casual, platonic mood between you and him. You could start with a high five before drawing him into an embrace, or you could playfully give him a light punch or fist bump on the shoulder.  If he smiles, makes eye contact, and seems at ease, you can always move in for a hug when you say good bye. A quick wave and a smile from a distance is often a good way to gauge if they want a hug. If he responds warmly, just move on it. If you know someone is a "hugger," or you just don't feel like a hug is appropriate for any reason, take charge and stick your hand...

TL;DR in English: Look for open arms and body language. Use a simple one-armed handshake to adjust an awkward embrace. Take charge if the guy seems awkward or unsure of what to do. Skip the hassle of a hug altogether and use different, more casual greeting. Avoid hugs you don't want with a smile and your hand firmly extended.

and avoid shallow chest breathing. It’s easy to get in the habit of taking short, shallow breaths without even realizing it. However, it’s important to train yourself to breathe deeply since deep breaths are better at oxygenating your body and can actually help reduce stress. Take a moment to pay attention to your breathing. If only your chest is rising and falling when you breathe, you’re likely taking shallow breaths. You want to use your diaphragm when you breathe, which is a thin muscle underneath your lungs. When you take a deep breath, your diaphragm moves downward and gives your lungs more room to fill up and expand. You'll know you're breathing with your diaphragm if your belly expands when you inhale. Breathing through your nose helps purify the air so you’re not inhaling as many irritants. It also helps regulate the temperature of the air you’re breathing in. If you normally breathe through your mouth, practice closing your mouth and inhaling through your nose. Then, exhale through your nose or mouth, whichever is most comfortable. Inhaling through your nose might be difficult at first if you’re used to breathing with your mouth, but it will get easier over time with practice. Slouching and tensing your muscles makes it harder to take full, deep breaths. Instead, you want to stand up straight, relax your shoulders, and loosen your joints so it’s easier to breathe.  Try slouching forward, lifting your shoulders up toward your head so they’re tense, and taking a deep breath. Then, stand up straight, relax your shoulders, and take another deep breath. You should be able to feel how much easier it is to breathe when you have good posture and you're relaxed. Whenever you catch yourself slouching or tensing up, adjust your posture and take a moment to relax your muscles. Since you don’t usually realize that you’re breathing, it can be tricky to notice whether or not you’re doing it properly. However, you can schedule regular check-ins throughout the day—like first thing in the morning and at lunchtime—to...

TL;DR in English: Take deep breaths Inhale through your nose instead of your mouth. Maintain good posture and keep your body relaxed. Check in on your breathing throughout the day to see if you’re improving. Try calming breathing exercises whenever you're feeling anxious or stressed.

If you chronically lack confidence, it's probably very easy for you to catalogue your faults and failures, but what about acknowledging your positives? For most people, this is a lot more challenging.  Researchers have found that self-esteem is comprised of both cognitive factors, such as positive memories you have of yourself and your behavior, and self-evaluation, or how positively you evaluate your current attitudes and behaviors. Make a list of everything you like about yourself - your qualities and skills that make you you.  It can help to actually sit down and write out a list as things come to you. Grab a notebook or journal and set a timer for 20-30 minutes. Journaling is a good way to continually maintain and open conversation with yourself about who you are and want to be. It's a way to prompt self-reflection and self-discovery and may help you realize things about yourself that you didn't really know.  Think also about some areas you'd like to improve, such as assertiveness or self-confidence. Contemplate not only what you feel, but why you feel the way you do. Begin to understand your true self, and allow it to exist. If you're not as good at handling some things as you are at others—for example, maybe you feel confident and capable until other people are thrown into a situation, such as in a relationship or at work—acknowledging all facets of yourself is the first step to transformation. Chances are that you are not giving yourself enough credit for everything that you've done throughout your life. Take some time to reflect and look back at your past glories from big to small—things that you've done that you feel proud of. This will help validate your place in the world and the value you bring to the people and society around you and, in this way, build your self-confidence. Research shows that part of building self-esteem is having a solid schema of positive memories about your past accomplishments and abilities. If you begin to accept that you have been a bright, hopeful, confident person in...

TL;DR in English: Take stock of yourself. Look back on your life and your accomplishments. Focus on positive thoughts and beliefs. Set goals and expectations. Fake it 'til you make it. Take chances. Help someone. Take care of yourself. Let go of the idea of perfection. Be persistent.

Spray tanning is a form of sunless tanning where a fine mist that includes tanning ingredients is sprayed onto your body (the same ingredient in self tanning lotion). Spray tans are growing in popularity because they are safe, easy, and fairly long-lasting (typically 7 days). The biggest drawback of spray tanning is the cost - usually $25-$50. There are a few things you should do to prepare yourself before getting a spray tan.  Shave or wax before your appointment. This will help the tan to better soak into your skin. Exfoliate your skin prior to your appointment. Getting rid of as much dead skin as possible will get you better results. Don't apply lotion, deodorant, or makeup prior to your appointment. Clean skin will soak in the tan much better. Wait 8 hours after your spray tan to shower or apply any lotion / moisturizer. Tanning beds use ultraviolet light to create UV radiation. This UV radiation creates a glow to tan the skin, just like UV light from the sun. Although tanning beds have become fairly popular, there are many health risks (including skin cancer) associated with them, and you must be careful if you choose to tan this way.  If you decide to use a tanning bed, a time of 7-11 minutes is recommended. Even if you tan often, never go in a tanning bed for more than 20 minutes at a time. Tanning 1-2 times per week is the recommended amount. Always wear tanning lotion and goggles to protect your skin and eyes from the potential harm of the UV rays. Most cities have tanning salons, so go online to find the tanning salon closest to you. Prices will vary from salon to salon, but member packages are usually available to help you save money if you plan on tanning multiple times. It's easy to miss the sun in the dead of winter, which is one of the reasons many people choose to tan. If you decide to tan under UV rays and sun beds, it is imperative that you take care of your skin.  These methods of tanning come with a high risk of skin cancer and speed up your skin's aging process. Always wear tanning lotion...

TL;DR in English: Get a spray tan. Use a tanning bed. Take care of your skin.

To be able to float on your back without panicking, you should be calm and relaxed in the water, even if you're not an expert swimmer. You should learn how to float on your back in a swimming pool, not an ocean or a lake with waves. Ideally, you should be reasonably comfortable in water and know how to swim from one end of a pool to the other without needing any help. If you're floating on your back as a way to learn how to swim, then you should take extra caution and be with your spotter at all times. Don't try to float on your back by yourself for the first time. Even if you've mastered other basic swimming techniques, if it's your first time trying to float on your back, you should not only have a spotter, but make sure that you're in a place with a lifeguard that can come to your rescue if you need the help. The spotter will place his hand under your back and will let you make the necessary adjustments to your body until you're comfortable trying the technique on your own. Using a PFD (personal flotation device) around your arms or mid-section can also make you get more comfortable in the water. If you've worked with a spotter but aren't quite ready to try floating on your back on your own, try wearing the device until you wean yourself off of it. Before you begin to float on your back on your own, you need to align your body with the water -- ideally, your body should start off in a position that is almost parallel to the water or bottom of the pool. You can even get on your back and kick off the side of the pool until your body naturally glides with the surface of the water. Once your body is aligned with the surface of the water and your back is relatively parallel to the water, it'll be much easier to make adjustments to the rest of your body.

TL;DR in English: Be comfortable in the water. Get a spotter. Try using a flotation device. Align your body with the surface of the water.

Before installing the new fuel filter, compare it to the one you just removed.  Make sure they appear to be the same outside diameter, that the nozzles are the same size, and that it will fit into the bracket.  If the fuel filters do not match, you will need to return the new one for the correct replacement filter. Do not attempt to use a fuel filter for a different application in your vehicle, as it may not be capable of allowing the appropriate volume of fuel to pass through it. Jack up the car to relieve the weight on the jack stands, then slide them out from beneath the vehicle.  Once the jack stands are clear, lower the vehicle to the ground by either releasing the pressure in the jack or turning the jack handle counter-clockwise, depending on your style of jack.  Be sure the jack stands are completely out of the way, otherwise they may damage the vehicle if lowered onto them. Once the vehicle is safely on the ground, reconnect the battery to complete the project.

TL;DR in English: Compare the new filter to the old one. Lower the vehicle off of the jack stands.

Once you've started taking antihistamines, talk to your doctor if your symptoms are severe or get worse. You should also call your doctor if you develop a nosebleed or other nasal symptoms. Tell your doctor if the symptoms don't lessen or go away. Common symptoms include:  Dizziness Dry mouth Feeling irritable, jittery, or excited Changes in vision, including blurred vision Loss of appetite If you start having shortness of breath or trouble breathing, contact emergency services right away. You may be having an anaphylactic reaction. Antihistamines may help with abnormal movements in patients with Parkinson's. Diphenhydramine can sometimes be used since it blocks the neurotransmitters. This helps control abnormal movements associated with early stage Parkinson’s or as a side effect of medication. Talk to your doctor about using antihistamines to help with your Parkinson’s. Children are particularly prone to medication overdose. If you notice any of the following symptoms after giving your child antihistamines take them to an emergency room immediately. Signs of an antihistamine overdose include:  Extreme drowsiness Confusion Agitation Muscle weakness Convulsions Hallucination

TL;DR in English: Call your doctor if you experience side effects after taking antihistamines. Ask your doctor about using antihistamines to manage Parkinson's. Get emergency medical attention if your child shows signs of an overdose.

Classically, dips are between parallel bars, where you lower yourself down until your elbows are at 90-degrees, arms parallel to the bars. You then push your body back up until your arms are straight, then repeat. But you can still do these triceps crushers even if you're without bars:  Find a sturdy table, ledge, chair, or stair step that comes up to roughly thigh level. Facing away from the ledge, use your hands to lower yourself to a "seated" position, as if there was an invisible chair in front of your object. Lower your but to the floor, keeping your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle behind you. Push back up to the "elevated" position. Repeat for 15-20 reps, doing three sets. The closer you move your arms together on a push-up, the more it will engage your triceps. The ultimate exercise, then, becomes diamond push-ups. To do them, simply use your thumbs and index fingers to form a diamond shape under your chest, entering otherwise normal push-up position:  Lower yourself slowly to the ground. Spring back up to the point just before your elbows lock out. Keep your neck and spine straight, not curved or hunched. This is a holding exercise, meaning you don't do reps, you simply hold the position, often timing out "sets" as 30-90 seconds of holding. L-sits are basically modified dips, but you can perform them on the floor or a set of parallel bars.  Pick yourself up by extending your arms straight down at your sides and pushing up. Stick your legs in front of you, forming an enormous L with your body. Keep your arms straight and strong as you hold your body above the ground of the bars. If you're struggling, rest one or both of your legs on something to keep them up while you work out your arms. You'll need a bar at about stomach height, the lower it is, the harder the exercise will be. These exercises work best if you keep your elbows in towards your ears and focus on using your triceps:  Hold the bar with your hands 4-5 inches apart, palms down. Place your feet together behind you, making a straight...

Preheat your oven to 450 °F (232 °C) with the top rack in place. Butter your slices of bread on 1 side.

The introduction of the speech should be interesting and engage the audience. Some strategies you can use are: beginning with a rhetorical question, a quote, or a short anecdote. Any strategy is fine as long as it relates to being thankful and graduating. Try to keep this to 2-5 sentences (or 2 paragraphs for a speech longer than 5 minutes). A few examples are:  “What are you thankful for?” This is beginning with a rhetorical question, since the audience will not answer. As Willie Nelson once said, "When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around." This is beginning with a quote. “It was the first day of high school, and I stood outside the door of my first class, scared to go in. On the last day of high school, I left that same door feeling thankful.” This is beginning with an anecdote. This is where you get to thank your friends, family, teachers, and so on in depth. Look at your brainstorming notes, and write 1-2 paragraphs where you say who you want to thank and why in complete sentences. (2-3 for a speech longer than 5 minutes). Don’t spend more than 2-3 sentences talking about a single person unless you really want to emphasize being thankful towards them.  For example, you can say, “I would like to thank my friends and family for always inspiring me when I felt hopeless.” Another example is, “I want to thank Professor Z for helping me choose a major.” The body of the speech comes immediately after the introduction. Avoid insulting or offending those you are speaking to. Do not vent about problems or criticize others during this speech. Write 1-2 sentences (1 paragraph for a speech that is longer than 5 minutes) that summarize everything you just said. Make sure to refer back to your theme and tie everything together in these 1-2 sentences. The conclusion comes after the body of the speech, and it can be very simple. For example, you can just say “Thank you again.”  Another simple example is, “Once again, I am so lucky to have such great friends and family. Thank you.” You can end on...

TL;DR in English: Write the introduction of the speech. Write the body of the speech. Write the conclusion of the speech. Edit the speech before practicing aloud.

Flour, eggs and brown sugar all hold on to moisture, leading to fluffy moist cookies. If you are look for a crispier treat, try using less of these three ingredients. All-purpose flour has a higher protein content compared to other flours. Extra protein helps create a browner appearance and crispier texture. This will allow the cookies time to spread before they firm. It will also help dry out your cookies as well. Compared to shortening or oil, butter has a lower melting temperature. This will allow your cookies to spread more during baking. Butter also has protein in it, which helps with browning and crisping. Avoid using brown sugar, which holds on to moisture, and instead use a processed sugar. This will lead to a drier and crispier cookie. Eggs hold a lot of moisture and, when cooked, they release lots of steam. This steam acts as a leavening agent, making cookies moist and fluffy. You will get a flatter, thinner and crispier cookie without eggs.  You can substitute applesauce instead of an egg, but applesauce also has a lot of moisture in it.  You could also try out vegetable oil.

TL;DR in English: Reduce ingredients that hold moisture. Use all-purpose flour. Bake the cookies for longer at a lower temperature. Use butter. Try white sugar or corn syrup. Skip the eggs.

Pool testing kits come in several different varieties. Test strips are the cheapest and easiest to use. Make sure the strips come with a color chart printed on a card or the back of the bottle so you can interpret the results. Once you own the chart, you can purchase additional bottles of strips rather than whole kits.  Another test variety are liquid test kits. You add the included chemicals to the water, then look for color changes. It can be difficult to mix the dye in the proper proportion and spot slight color changes. The last option is a digital water tester. Dip the end in the sample to get results. These are accurate but expensive and can malfunction. After this time, the strip will change colors. Remove the strip immediately, but don’t shake off the water. For testing strips, you’ll only need a single water sample.  When doing a liquid test, pour a few drops of the dye into the water sample. You will need to collect a new sample of pool water for each dye. For digital testers, stick the sensor in the sample. The color chart will be somewhere in your kit or on the back of the bottle of testing strips. If you bought 4 in 1, 5 in 1, or 6 in 1 strips, several colored patches on the strips may change. Each one corresponds to a separate chemical measurement on your color chart. Strips that aren’t all in 1 only test a single element. You’ll need to go to the store and get separate strips for chlorine, pH, and alkalinity. Strips for cyanuric acid and water hardness are also recommended. Water testing below 7.2 is more acidic, so if you notice colored stains from metal or corroded pipes, low pH could be the culprit. Water above 7.8 is more basic, causing chemical deposits on pool gear and preventing chlorine from killing bacteria and algae. Both high and low pH water irritate eyes and skin.  The pH level can be raised by adding soda ash, which is available at any pool store. Follow the directions on the label to figure out the proper amount to add. Lower the pH level by mixing in muriatic acid. Again, the...

TL;DR in English: Purchase a water testing kit. Submerge the test strips for 15 seconds. Compare the results to the color chart. Look for a pH level between 7.2 and 7.8. Test for a chlorine level between 1 and 3 ppm. Aim for an alkalinity result between 120 and 150 ppm. Check that the cyanuric acid levels are between 20 and 30 ppm. Choose a calcium hardness level based on your pool type.

You will need a monkey wrench, bath socket wrench or vice grip pliers, a Philips screwdriver, a flat-head screwdriver, a jar gripper, plumber's grease, a rag, Teflon tape and possibly tub caulk. You may also need a hair dryer. You will need access to the pipes for the next hour or so. Tell family members or tenants that they will not have water during this time. This will drain any remaining water in the pipes. Over time, handles can corrode and weld the faucet on. Use a hand dryer to heat the handle and loosen it. Don’t use too much force or it can break. Call a plumber if your handle breaks or will not come off. The trim is the decorative piece that fits around the outside of the faucet, generally just behind the handle, while the collar is generally a tubular piece that fits around the internal faucet parts. They should unscrew fairly easily. You can use a hair dryer to loosen them as well. Repeat for the other handle if your tub has two. You will need to reconnect them in a similar fashion when you are done fixing the faucet. These are sometimes also called “cartridges.” Insert a bath socket wrench and turn it counterclockwise. If you are unable to find a bath socket wrench, you can use a vice grip to hold onto the stem bonnet and loosen it. It has an elongated end so that you can stick it deep into the seat and turn it counterclockwise to remove the seat. The seat is the back portion of the faucet that extends into the pipe.

TL;DR in English: Gather the proper tools. Turn off the water intake to your house. Open the hot and cold valves on the bathtub faucet. Insert a Philips head screwdriver into the hole and unscrew the handle from the wall. Unscrew the trim and the collar from the wall by hand. Set the faucet handle inserts, faucet handles, screws, trim and collar parts aside in a small container. Remove the stem bonnet, which is the packing nut that holds the stem in place. Insert the seat wrench into the opening where the faucet was.

Check that one of the racks inside your oven is in the top position so your grilled cheese cooks thoroughly. Turn the oven on to 450 °F (232 °C) and let it heat completely while you prepare your sandwiches. Once the oven is up to temperature, you can cook your sandwiches. You can also use a toaster oven if you don’t want to heat up your regular oven. Choose your favorite type of bread to use for your sandwich. Use 2 slices of the bread and spread room temperature butter on 1 side of each slice. Spread the butter to the edges of the slice to help get even browning and prevent them from burning.  Soften the butter if you don’t have any at room temperature so you don’t rip pieces off of your bread. Alternatively, you can spread mayonnaise on your bread instead of butter.

TL;DR in English:


Use a small, rimmed baking sheet to catch the grease.

Strive for good posture. Sleep on a supportive mattress. Wear only quality shoes that fit properly. Be active and move your body more. Eat foods rich in minerals and vitamins.

Use a large, rimmed baking sheet to catch the grease. Lining the bottom and sides of the sheet with aluminum foil will make clean up easier. Place the bacon in an airtight container. You can use the bacon while it's cold, keeping in mind that the bacon will lose its crispiness as it's stored. To reheat the bacon, heat the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until the bacon is heated through. You can also reheat the bacon in the microwave. Set the bacon on a microwave-safe plate and heat the bacon in 20-second increments until it's heated through.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204 °C) and line a sheet with foil. Store leftover bacon for 4 to 5 days in the refrigerator.

Before deciding what new sleeping position you want to habituate to, consider any physical ailments you might have. For example, if you've had back surgery, sleeping on your side in the fetal position may be the most comfortable. Furthermore, sleeping on your side may also be better if you have a history of snoring or sleep apnea. On the other hand, if you have chronic shoulder pain from an old sports injury, then sleeping on your back might be the best position.  Most people find that firm mattresses offer the most support and cause the least amount of musculoskeletal issues. In contrast, only a minority of people do well with soft mattresses or waterbeds. Consider investing in a high-quality, firm mattress. Pregnant women do best on their sides, with research suggesting that sleeping on the left side increases blood flow levels to the developing baby. From a musculoskeletal (functional) perspective, sleeping on your side provides the most benefit because it keeps your spine in normal alignment. It can alleviate neck pain (assuming your pillow is an appropriate size) and low back pain, reduce the incidence of acid reflux (heartburn), prevent snoring and ease the burdens of pregnancy. However, from an aesthetic perspective, side sleeping can promote facial wrinkles and saggy breasts, as they get a little squished.  If side sleeping, select a pillow that fits between the tip of you shoulder and the side of your head. Thus, thick pillows are best for broad-shouldered people and thin pillows for the narrow shouldered — a pillow of the appropriate thickness will keep your neck aligned and help prevent tension or cervicogenic headaches. To promote sleeping on your side, get a body pillow to hug, which might replace the sense of security and warmth you were getting from stomach sleeping. Everyone who sleeps on their side should use a pillow between their legs to promote hip alignment. Sleeping on your back (supine) is generally better for your spine compared to stomach sleeping, especially for your neck, but care...

TL;DR in English: Consider your physical limitations first. Sleep on your side. Sleep on your back.

Use your shower to wash away any debris in the way. If you have a removable shower head, use it to spray around the tub. Otherwise, use a cup or small bucket to pour water around.  If you have a lot of hair and debris in your tub, it's best to wipe it away with a paper towel before you rinse the tub using your shower head. Otherwise, you may accidentally clog up your drain. If your drain does get clogged, you'll also need to clean it in addition to the rest of your bathtub. If you clean out your tub every time you shower, you won't have a buildup over time. Use the shower to sprinkle the tub with warm water, washing away any dirt. Wipe off the water with a towel or sponge.

TL;DR in English: Wash away any grit and hair. Practice everyday cleaning.

You can choose cutting boards made from wood, bamboo, or plastic. Plastic is lightweight and easy to store, but it can be difficult to clean. You'll need to discard any plastic cutting boards that develop knife scars or ridges. Wood cutting boards have natural antiseptic properties that can help keep them clean. You can also use bamboo, but since it's harder than wood, it may dull your knives faster.  Avoid chopping on metal, glass, or stone cutting boards. These can dull your knives. Consider getting two cutting boards. Use one to chop vegetables or fruit and use the other to chop meat. Most knife sets include a variety of knives that you'll use for different kitchen jobs. To chop, you'll usually want to use an 8 to 10-inch (20 to 25 cm) chef's knife. It has a slight curve, so you can rock the knife back and forth as you quickly chop. The knife should feel a little heavy and balanced when you hold it.  Don't chop food with small knives (like paring knives) since the knife could become stuck in the food or you may cut yourself. Avoid using it for small jobs, like peeling food or cutting bread. Professional chefs sharpen their blades every day because they use them so often. Be in the habit of sharpening your knife blade using a sharpening stone since dull knives are more likely to slip while you're using them. This can increase your risk of cutting yourself. If you don't feel comfortable sharpening your own knives, you can send your knives away to a professional sharpening service. If the knife blade has been bent off center because of frequent use, you can also use a honing steel to push the blade back into balance.

TL;DR in English: Choose a cutting board. Use the right knife for the job. Keep the knife sharp.

Maintaining good posture while you sit and walk is crucial for the shape, function and overall health of your spine. Good posture doesn't mean completely straight, but it does mean balanced and aligned, such that the normal shape of your spine isn't compromised. Slouching is a classic sign of poor posture, so keep your shoulders pulled back, head up and low back slightly arched when you sit and walk. Good posture is often a reflection of confidence and good health.  While at work, make sure your office chair is height-adjustable and has lumbar support for your low back. At home, use small cushions to support your back while watching TV. Make sure your computer is at eye level and centered in front of your chair, otherwise you risk straining your neck and triggering headaches. Practicing walking with a book balanced on your head may sound old school, but it's still a great way to learn good posture. Your sleeping position is another important element of body posture. You spend about 1/3 of your time in your bed, so pay more attention to the quality of your mattress and your sleeping posture. For many people, firm mattresses are the best choice in order to provide the necessary support for their spines. Memory foam top covers may also be of benefit and provide more comfort. You should consider changing spring mattresses every eight to 10 years, whereas memory foam mattresses may have a shorter life span — rotate them on a weekly basis to increase longevity. The thickness of your pillow should roughly match the width from your shoulder to your ear, which helps to keep your neck aligned during sleep.  Most medical / health authorities feel that the best sleeping posture is laying on your side with hips and knees slightly flexed, and with a small pillow wedged between your thighs.  Don't read in bed with too many pillows behind your head because it will put strain on your neck and act to reverse the normal curvature of your cervical spine. Your feet are important for good biomechanics (movement) and posture...
