The average Yorkshire terrier can live anywhere from 12 to 16 years. This dog will be in your life for a long time, so don’t get a puppy if you’re not prepared to make a long-term commitment. Furthermore, dogs who don’t get enough care and attention on a day-to-day basis often develop behavior problems like excessive barking, chewing, and digging in the yard. While Yorkies don’t need as much exercise as other breeds might, they do need a lot of attention and love. If you don’t have the time to give your pet all the attention it needs to be happy and well-adjusted, wait until you’re ready to bring a dog into your family. When you get a Yorkie, you’ll have to pay more than just the one-time purchase price. All dogs have ongoing needs throughout their life, including good quality food, toys, grooming, licensing fees, and routine medical checkups. You’ll also spend a lot of money during the first year on a crate, a carrier bag, training sessions, spaying/neutering, vaccinations, etc. The ASPCA estimates that in the first year, small dog owners will spend about $1,314 on their new pet, then $580 yearly after that. There's a great deal of variation in size, temperament, and needs from breed to breed. Even if you love all dogs, you should think carefully about whether a specific breed will be a good fit for you and your family. Yorkshire terriers have many positive traits:  They are a "Toy" breed, meaning they are small lap dogs that won't hog the couch or be able to overpower you when they get excited. They're highly adaptable, and do well in large homes and apartments alike. Though each dog will have its own personality, in general, Yorkies are cat-friendly. Yorkies are a highly intelligent breed, and take well to training. They're incredibly affectionate companions who love to be around their families. Though there’s a lot to recommend the Yorkies, all breeds have drawbacks that might make them a bad fit for a particular household. Some things you should know about Yorkshire terriers before bringing one home...

TL;DR in English: Consider whether you are ready to make a time commitment to a new puppy. Calculate whether you can afford a dog. Decide whether a Yorkie is the right breed for you. Be aware of the drawbacks of the breed. Choose your ideal Yorkie size.

Even if your boss becomes emotional, you want to maintain your professional manner so that he cannot use anything against you. Note that your boss may become even more aggravated by your calm and professional demeanor, and if this is the case, explain to your boss that you would like to continue the conversation, but the last thing you want is to upset him, so suggest picking up the issue at a later time. If you lose your cool, your boss can blame you, even if you’re upset over something completely legitimate.  If you find yourself getting emotional in the middle of a conversation, excuse yourself and ask to resume the conversation at a later time. If you hear yourself raising your voice, stop, slow down, and take a few deep breaths. If you can’t keep the conversation at a normal level, then you should resume it later. Of course you have issues that you may want to discuss personally, but if he feels that you are criticizing him, he may turn the tables and place the focus on you. If this is the case, be professional. Listen to his concerns and tell him that you appreciate his feedback and that you will work on the issues, and then politely return to the problems you have. Don’t get defensive or ignore anything he is telling you.  In fact, it can be helpful to ask yourself if you’re doing everything you can correctly before you start a conversation with your boss. You may be having problems with your boss because you have been doing something wrong without realizing it. It’s best to anticipate anything your boss might say, such as the fact that you’re always late or that your reports need to be proofread more, before you start the conversation. Otherwise, you may be taken aback. Don’t interrupt your boss and wait for him to finish giving his feedback. You don’t want him to think that you’re above listening to him. A difficult boss will be at their worst when you've made a major mistake, but you may be able to partly salvage the situation by handling failure at work with honesty and integrity. If your boss is...

TL;DR in English: Refrain from becoming emotional during any discussions with your boss. Be prepared to discuss criticism of yourself when approaching a difficult boss with concerns. Understand that you cannot change your boss. Remain professional when confronting your boss, even if you feel your blood boiling. Do not go over your boss’s head if you can avoid it.

While many objects may seem harmless to your dog or you don't expect them to be interested in them, it is best to keep small objects and human toys off of the floor or any reachable areas where your dog will be spending time.  There are many products in your house and yard that are dangerous to dogs and should be kept well out of reach by locking them in a storage area or putting them somewhere the dog doesn't have access to. Some of the more common ones include, household cleaners, insecticides, fertilizers, and mouse and rat poisons. Both house plants and plants in your yard or garden can be toxic, including rhododendrons, chrysanthemum, and oleander. Identify the plants in your home and garden and then contact your veterinarian or look online at sites such as the ASPCA and Pet poison helpline for complete lists of pet toxins. Also, medicines both human and animal, can be toxic to your dog, especially if consumed in large amounts. Some of the foods that we eat, including chocolate, onions, raisins and grapes, and even sugarless chewing gums, can be toxic to dogs as well and should be kept well out of reach. Before you bring your dog home one of the first things to decide on is where your dog will be spending their time. Think about what areas of the house they will be allowed to access and what areas you want to keep off limits. These rules should be enforced from the very beginning to avoid confusion.  Your dog will need designated areas to eat and sleep and plenty of space to play and exercise. Initially you may want to limit the areas the dog has access to so that you can watch them closely until you get to know them and their behavior better. The kitchen or another area that is convenient to clean is a good place to set up food and water bowls. Once you decide on a place, you will want to keep them there at all times. Next decide where your dog will sleep. Some people like to have their dog sleep in the bed with them, while others prefer to get a doggie bed or crate for them to sleep separately. Be...

TL;DR in English: Dog-proof your house. Give your dog a designated area. Purchase all the supplies you will need.

Colon cleansing can take a few forms. You can perform a colonic, also known as colon hydrotherapy. This is done using a small tube inserted into the rectum, through which warm water is gently pumped. You can also take an oral solution to increase excrement output, which are essentially homemade laxatives.  Doing water or salt water enemas at home without a professional assistance is not recommended unless instructed to do so by a doctor.  Most mainstream physicians do not recommend regular colonics for healthy individuals, though some natural doctors and other healthcare professionals recommend colon cleansing once or twice a year to help release toxins. Colon cleanses can be very helpful, but can also become harmful over time. Even natural, homemade colon cleansers can be hurtful to you. Just because something is natural doesn’t mean it is harmless and a serious problem can occur if you begins to depend on colon cleansers rather than your  healthy, natural colon function.  This dependence is called laxative abuse and can be an addiction much like any other. Laxative abuse can result in damage to the kidneys and the cardiovascular system and can be life-threatening.  Never use a cleanse more than every six months unless under the care of a health professional. Once you do a colon cleanse, you need to put back in certain nutrients, called prebiotics and probiotics, into your body. Be prepared to restock and support your colon bacteria by eating foods that contain good bacteria for at least one to two months after you cleanse. These foods include:  Bananas Garlic Leeks Wheat bran Asparagus  Sauerkraut Kefir Yogurt Kimchee Aged cheeses Talk to your doctor before you try any colon cleanse. Discuss the type of cleanse you plan on doing to be certain it isn't going to hurt you. Certain herbs, fruits, and vegetables can interact with prescription medications, so be aware of the side effects of your medications.  As a general rule, anyone with a condition that affects the digestive tract, the kidneys, the liver, or...

Existentialism is a philosophical movement grounded in a particular historical context, and transferring its tenets to today's cultural moment means understanding what it meant when it developed. It developed and flourished in Europe during the 1940s and 1950s, in a post-war context in which many people felt disillusioned with organized religion and society and felt like life had no real meaning or purpose. Like all branches of philosophy, existentialism developed through the writings of prominent philosophers. Start by reading works of Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Albert Camus.  While de Beauvoir wrote many works that are considered essential reading, The Second Sex is a great place to start. It is a critical look at society's gender roles, and garnered de Beauvoir a reputation as a founder of the feminist movement.  Try Jean-Paul Sartre's book 'Nausea' where he lays out the basics of existentialism. As a philosophy, existentialism is based on a major premise and several minor premises:  The major premise of existentialism is that the meaning of existence and the nature of humanity cannot be truly understood through natural sciences (like biology and psychology) or by moral categories (found in religion and social codes) alone. Instead, meaning is found in authenticity.  Existentialists believe there is no larger meaning or order to the universe or to our lives; that is, there is no destiny or fate, and your individual life has no pre-determined purpose. Still, people have complete free will and can make choices about their daily actions in order to make those actions meaningful and ordered despite the lack of meaning and order in the universe. Thus, life gains meaning by individuals ascribing meaning through authentic lives. Nihilism states there is no purpose to life and there never can be whereas existentialism says you make your own. While many existentialist writings have themes of anxiety, hopelessness, and boredom, it is not because the writers did not see a purpose...

TL;DR in English: Know the history of the movement. Read up. Understand the basic precepts of existentialism. Remember that existentialism is not the same as nihilism.

If you'd like to cut the grapefruit further, you can cut each round slice into halves or fourths, like you were cutting off pieces of a pie. This method can be ideal for using the grapefruit in fruity drinks. You can also just cut one slice into the middle of the grapefruit and use it as a garnish on the side of a bowl of fruit salad or on a large pitcher of grapefruit juice. Or you can just rip the slice apart and eat it right from the slice without using a spoon or fork.

TL;DR in English: Cut the slices (optional).

While your impulse may be to blame yourself for what's happened, resist the urge. There are simply forces in life and nature that cannot be controlled. Beating yourself up about what you could have, would have, should have done is counterproductive to healing. For some parents, all they want to do is to sleep.  Others find themselves pacing the floors at night and staring blankly at the TV. The death of a child takes an extreme toll on the body. Science has shown that a loss of this magnitude is similar to a major physical injury, so you absolutely need rest. Give in to the urge to sleep if you have it; otherwise, try to establish a nighttime routine--warm bath, herbal tea, relaxation exercises--that can help ease you into a good night's sleep. Sometimes, in the days immediately following your child's death, relatives, and friends may bring you food so that you don't have to cook. Do your best to eat a little each day in order to keep up your strength. It's difficult to deal with negative emotions and everyday activities when you're physically weak. Eventually, you may have to return to making your own meals. Keep it simple. Bake a chicken or make a big pot of soup that can last for a few meals. Find healthy takeout options in your neighborhood and restaurants that will deliver to your home. Whether or not you're finding it difficult to eat, try to drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Sip on a cup of soothing tea or keep a refillable water bottle with you. Dehydration is physically taxing, and your body is already being taxed enough. While it's understandable that you may want to blot out the memory of your child's death, excessive use of alcohol and drugs can aggravate depression and create a whole new set of problems to deal with. Some parents find that a sleep aid is a necessity, and that anti-anxiety or anti-depression medication helps them better cope. There are many varieties of these medications, and finding the right one that works best can be a daunting task, and one best undertaken with the...

TL;DR in English: Be very gentle with yourself. Get plenty of sleep. Remember to eat. Stay hydrated. Use alcohol in moderation and stay away from illegal drugs. Use prescription medication under a doctor's orders only. Re-evaluate your relationships if they become hurtful.

The strength of your muscles is secondary to the flexibility and agility of your muscles. One way to improve the latter two attributes is by properly stretching your fingers before practice. Bend back each finger until it feels comfortable and hold them in that position for several seconds. Do the same for each thumb, but also stretch your thumb into your palm.  Get the blood flowing through your fingers by pretending to type rapidly in the air. Roll your wrists both clockwise and counterclockwise. Spread your fingers out into a fully extended position, then release the tension. After stretching out your hand, you can strengthen the muscles you commonly use during guitar play. There are two main exercises you can do without playing the guitar itself. Work out the extensor muscles of your fretting hand with these two exercises:  First hold your left hand (or fretting hand) in a relaxed position. Extend your thumb to your pinky and then pull them apart slightly. Continue this motion with the rest of your fingers: ring, middle, and then your index finger. Repeat as many times as you want, but don’t over-exercise your muscles. Hold your fretting hand relaxed with your palm facing up. Extend your pinky finger slightly and then flex it. Continue the same exercise with the rest of your fingers: ring, middle, and then your index finger. After properly warming up your hand, you can practice a few lines on your guitar. Set a metronome, if available, to a comfortable tempo. For beginners, use 80 bpm, and experienced players can play at around 120 bpm. Set your hand so your index finger is on the first fret. Then play this chromatic riff across each string: 1-2-3-4. Use an individual finger to play each fret.  For an added exercise, do the same motion in a descending order. Start with your pinky on the fourth fret of the last string. This technique will exercise each finger.  Once you become comfortable performing this exercise, increase the speed of your metronome.

The butterfly stretch is a great stretch for the center splits as it increases flexibility in the inner thighs, the groin and the hips. To perform:  Sit on the floor and bend your knees until the soles of your feet are touching. Pull your heels as close towards your body as possible and use your elbows to push your knees towards the floor. Make sure to sit upright with your back straight. Hold the stretch for 30 to 60 seconds. To deepen the stretch, lean forward as far as you can and place your hands on the floor in front of your feet. Keep your back straight and your knees pressed to the floor.

TL;DR in English: Do a butterfly stretch.

Once the oil is shimmering and hot, stir in 2 tablespoons or 2 wraps (58 g) of locust bean seasoning (iru). Chop 1 onion into 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) pieces and stir it into the oil. Stir and fry the mixture over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. The onion should darken and float to the top of the oil. Transfer the cooked pepper and onion puree into the oil and onion mixture. Stir and bring the mixture to a lively bubble over medium heat. Cover the pot and simmer the ofada stew until the oil starts to glisten on the top. This should take 15 to 20 minutes. Stir the stew every once in a while to prevent it from scorching. You might need to adjust the temperature if the stew is boiling too vigorously. Remove the lid and stir in 2 tablespoons (16 g) of ground dried crayfish and 1/2 pound (226 g) of beef or tripe that you've cut into bite sized pieces. Stir in about 1 cup (240 ml) of beef stock so the sauce loosens and combines with the meats. Add salt according to your taste. Peel the shells of 4 hard boiled eggs and nestle the eggs into the stew. Bring the stew to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir the stew occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pot. Cover the pot and simmer the stew until it's thickened in places and the oil glistens in pockets on the top. The meat that you added should be completely cooked and tender. You can carefully drain or ladle off the excess oil that's floating on top of the stew. Serve the stew while it's still hot with prepared ofada rice. If you don't have ofada rice, you can serve it with your favorite type of steamed rice.  Store the leftover stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. You can also serve the ofada stew with boiled or fried plantains or yams.

TL;DR in English: Fry the locust bean seasoning and chopped onion for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the pureed vegetables and simmer the stew for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the dried crayfish, meats, and beef stock. Add the hard-boiled eggs and bring the stew to a boil. Turn the heat to medium-low and simmer the stew for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Serve the ofada stew.

This is a location that can have a lot of excess hair growth. Begin by using your thinning shears around the dog's shoulders if a ridge of hair has formed there. Then move your attention to the front of the dog, thinning the hair on its chest until it lies flat.  The length of your dog's fur will vary. A Golden Retriever doesn't have a short, tight coat, but instead has some length to it. When trimming your dog's coat, focus more on trimming fuzzy and unkempt fur, instead of trimming to a specific length. If you are unsure if you have removed enough hair, comb the coat out and see if the coat is lying flat. The goal is to have a nice flat coat that is balanced and symmetrical. As you trim, move the thinning shears with the direction of the growth. Using the thinning shears to trim the neck and chest will give the dog a more natural look.

TL;DR in English: Thin the undercoat around the Golden Retriever's chest and neck.

Many broilers are in a drawer under the stove, but some are in the oven itself. If this is the case, adjust your cooking rack so that the top of the broiling dish will be 4–8 inches (10–20 cm) from the top.   The closer to the heat, the quicker the cook. For example, if you want a steak that is more well-done, put it closer to the broiler. For a medium to medium-rare steak, put it further from the heat. If your broiler is in the drawer below the stove, you won't need to make any adjustments. Most ovens will reach 550 °F (288 °C). Let your oven preheat for about 10 minutes with your broiler pan inside it. This will mimic the inside of an outdoor grill.  The broiler is essentially an upside down grill, but the heat is coming from the top rather than the bottom. Put it on top of your stove and put your seasoned meat (and veggies!) into it. The broiling pan has grooves that will let the fat drip down so the meat doesn't cook in it. Leave the door to your oven slightly ajar. Most ovens will turn off the heating element once it reaches a certain temperature, which would interrupt your cooking cycle. Leaving the door cracked helps keep the hot air flowing the entire cooking time.   Like on a grill, check on your meat and turn it once while it is cooking. Most dishes cook in 8-10 minutes, so flipping the meat at the 4-5 minute mark will help ensure that both sides cook evenly.   If you are cooking vegetables, this is a good time to flip them, too. Chicken and medium-well to well cooked steaks should be at 160 °F (71 °C). A medium-rare to rare steak can be anywhere in the 135 °F (57 °C) range.  Insert the meat thermometer so the tip is resting in the middle of your piece of meat. Let it stay there until the monitor registers the heat and stays at the same temperature for a few seconds. If the meat isn't done yet, put it back in the oven for another 2-3 minutes. This lets it keep cooking for a few minutes and will help it retain its juices. If you take the temperature again, you may notice it has increased. This is...

TL;DR in English: Arrange your cooking racks if your broiler is in the oven. Preheat your oven to the highest temperature and turn on your broiler. Use oven mitts to remove your broiling pan after it has preheated. Place the broiling pan back in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check the meat's temperature. Let your meat sit for 5-10 minutes on the stovetop before cutting into it.

The symptoms of colic can vary based on how severe the colic is. Though the pain is in the stomach, your horse may show signs that don't automatically point to the stomach.  Mild colic may exhibit in your horse as restlessness, such as pawing at the ground. Your horse also may keep curling his lips or keep looking around to his backside.  In a moderate case, your horse may want to lay down more often. He may also pee more often.  With severe cases, your horse may start rolling on the ground with violent motions. You may also see in an increase in respiration and sweat.  Symptoms of gas colic in particular are loud noises in the abdominal area and gut pain that comes and goes.  Impacted colic may prevent the horse from defecating, and he may not want to eat. He will also have pain in the abdomen. Horses should defecate at least 6 times in a 24-hour period, so you should be on the lookout if you suspect your horse has colic. A horse's temperature should be between about 99 degrees and 101 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a rectal thermometer designed for horses to check your horse's temperature. If it's elevated, that's another indication your horse could be colicky. Only try to treat the horse yourself if he is exhibiting mild symptoms of colic. If the horse is already in the moderate or severe stage, move on to calling the vet. The first step to treating your horse yourself is to get him moving. Walk your horse around for about 30 minutes. Walking can help your horse if the colic is caused by gas. It may also provide a distraction from the pain he's experiencing. However, walking him too long can make him tired if he's already feeling bad. If your horse is continuously looking at his side and even trying to bite that area, it's time to call the vet.  Other symptoms that tell you it's time to call the vet are if your horse is laying down too much, not eating, or not defecating. Also call the vet if your horse's pulse is over 50 beats a minute. Because colic is often linked to your horse's food, it's important...

A wide variety of commercial cleaning products can help you clean brass.  While the specific directions for these products vary with manufacturer, generally you will spray the product on the brass hinge, then wipe it down with a clean cloth.  Popular brass cleaning products include Wright’s Premium Brass Cleaning Polish and Brasso Multipurpose Polish. Test the cleaning product on an inconspicuous area of the hinge before applying it to the whole thing.  If the cleaning product causes the brass plate to flake off, discontinue use of that product and try another instead. Consult manufacturer directions before using any brass cleaning product. Apply a thin patina of ketchup, marinara sauce, or tomato paste to the brass hinge using a paper towel or hand cloth.  Allow the tomato-based product to remain on the brass hinge for about 60 minutes.  Dip a clean cloth or sponge in hot, soapy water, then scrub the brass hinge. This technique also works with Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Combine equal parts vinegar, salt, and flour.  For instance, you might combine two tablespoons of vinegar, two tablespoons of salt, and two tablespoons of flour.  Smear this paste across the surface of the brass hinge.  Wait for about 60 minutes.  Rinse the hinge off with warm water.  Wipe it down with a dry cloth until it shines. Cut a lemon in half and remove the seeds from one half.  Cover the half of the lemon you removed the seeds from with salt.  Rub the face of the lemon (the flat side covered in salt) over the brass hinge.  As you rub the hinge, add additional coats of salt to the lemon as it flakes off. Wipe the hinge down with a clean cloth. Combine two tablespoons of cream of tartar and one tablespoon of lemon juice.  Rub the paste on the hinge using a clean paper towel or an old toothbrush.  Allow the paste to sit for 30 minutes.  Then, dip a clean cloth in warm water and wipe the paste away. Mix equal parts white vinegar and baking soda in a bowl with steep sides.  For example, you could combine two tablespoons vinegar...

TL;DR in English: Use a commercial cleaning product. Smear a tomato-based product on the hinge. Make a vinegar paste. Clean the hinge with a lemon. Create a paste from cream of tartar.

Mouth breathing typically occurs when sleeping on your back. When you sleep on your back, you’re forced to take heavier breaths through your mouth. Try to change how you sleep to minimize the chances of mouth breathing and snoring while you sleep. If you can’t help but roll over on your back out of habit, using a pillow that elevates your head can help you breathe properly while you sleep. Get a pillow or wedge that elevates your upper back and head on a 30-60 degree angle. This should help you keep your mouth closed while you sleep and promote breathing through your nose. Get a piece of masking or scotch tape and place the tape vertically over your mouth. This will help keep it shut while you sleep. You can dab the sticky side of the tape on the palm of your hand a couple of times to remove some of the adhesive. This will make it easier to remove. An over-the-counter nasal strip can clear your nasal passages and help you breathe through your nose while you sleep. To use the strip, remove the plastic backing on the nasal strip and place the strip over the bridge of your nose. Read the instructions on the packaging before you use it. You can find chin straps online by typing "chin strap" into your search engine. To use the strap, wrap it around your head, lengthwise, under your chin and over the top of your head. This will keep your mouth closed while you sleep and can prevent mouth breathing. These chin straps are created for those that snore a lot or those that suffer from sleep apnea.

TL;DR in English: Sleep on your side. Elevate your head and upper back if you sleep on your back. Put a piece of tape over your mouth. Wear a nasal strip on your nose as you sleep. Use a chin strap to keep your mouth closed as you sleep.

Not all calculators have a hexadecimal mode, but if yours does, you will have more letters to spell words with. You will be able to tell if your calculator has a hexadecimal mode if you see the letters A-F on the keyboard. Calculators that have hexadecimal mode include Casios and Texas Instruments. In hexadecimal mode, you will have the letters A, B, C, D, E, and F. You can also use the numbers 1 for I, 0 for O, and 5 for S.  For example, you can spell the word "see" using 5EE. Some other words you can spell include BASS, DIE, BOSS, DOE, and SEA. When you turn your calculator upside down in hexadecimal mode, you can turn b into q and d into p. Along with q and p, you can make the letters O, D, I, Z, E, h, A, S, g/q, L, B, and G from numbers. The possibilities are endless!  b=q d=p 0=O/D 1=I 2=Z 3=E 4=h/A 5=S 6=g/q 7=L 8=B 9=G/b You can also use the number 2 instead of the word "to" or "too."

TL;DR in English: Switch your calculator to hexadecimal mode. Use a combination of letters and numbers to spell words. Create even more combinations by turning your calculator upside down.

The person you are meeting for the first time is not interested in your “good excuse” for running late. Plan to arrive a few minutes early. And allow flexibility for delays in traffic or taking a wrong turn. If you are feeling uncomfortable and on edge, this can make the other person uneasy and that’s a sure way ruin a date. If you are calm and confident, so the other person will feel more at ease, and so have a solid foundation for making that date and impression a good one. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and so the “picture” you first present says much about you to the person you are meeting. Is your appearance saying the right things to help create the right first impression? Try deep breathing. Deep breathing is a very effective way of relaxation.  Progressive Muscular Relaxation - The idea behind this, is that you tense up the muscles of your body as tightly as possible. Hold them in a state of extreme tension for a few seconds. Then, relax the muscles to their previous state starting at your feet, knees, thighs, tummy, shoulders, neck and head. Finally, consciously relax the muscles even further so that you are as relaxed as possible. Keep the attention on your breathing. Repeat a few times and be amazed at how relaxed you will feel.

TL;DR in English: Be on time. Be yourself and be at ease. Relax!

These kinds of questions can help a shy guy open up and talk about himself and can also lead to him feeling known, liked and comfortable with you. Avoid asking questions that can be answered with a quick “yes” or “no” because these may create awkward pauses and make the conversation feel forced. Good examples of open-ended questions include:  "How did you get interested in carpentry?" "What brought you to live in San Francisco?" When you ask about all of his favorite things, such as sports, movies, books, and more, you’re showing him that you’re interested in getting to know him better. Once you’ve talked a bit about each other's likes and dislikes, you’ll most likely find some commonalities that you can discuss further and bond over. Make sure to show interest in him and not just his role or activities. Hobbies and interests are good, neutral places to start, but when you're both ready, be sure to look deeper. If you hang out together, make sure to tell him you’d like to see him again when you part ways. Verbal clarity will make him more sure of your feelings and desires, which will ease his uncertainty and draw him out of his shell. Also, pay attention to his reactions when you say things that directly communicate your interest in him. If he smiles or agrees enthusiastically, you can assume that he may be interested in you too. Making physical contact releases oxytocin, the bonding hormone, so initiating touch may quickly start making him feel liked and close to you. Touching him breaks through a kind of barrier that may lead him to feel less nervous or unsure about holding your hand or putting his arm around you later on.  Ask permission first, and make sure he's open to that sort of attention and affection. Try lightly and briefly touching the outside of his arm to communicate assurance while you’re having a conversation with him. If you aren’t interested in him romantically, be cautious with physical contact. Giving him frequent hugs, for example, may seem friendly to you but he may interpret it as a...

TL;DR in English:


Sit tall and deep in the saddle. Use your rein aid. Lengthen your legs slightly. Create a slight resistance in your seat to suggest a halt. When the horse shifts down, apply your driving aids.

Both men and women can have factitious disorder. It typically affects adults. Women may have a background in healthcare, such as being a nurse or technician. Women with factitious disorder tend to be between the ages of 20-40. Men tend to be unmarried between the ages of 30-50. Often, people with factitious disorder seek attention through the illness. These people take on a “sick role” to receive care from others. The core of factitious disorder is receiving attention from others. Any practical benefit from pretending to be sick (like skipping work or school)  is not the motivation. People who show symptoms of factitious disorder tend to have low self-esteem and/or problems with self identity. The person may have a convoluted personal or family history, or an inconsistent story. They may have interpersonal problems or family problems. This person may have a low view of the self or a difficult time identifying to the self. Symptoms of factitious disorder may follow or coexist along with someone who has factitious disorder imposed on another, or FDIA (formerly known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy, or MSBP). FDIA can occur when a parent places a child into a ‘sick’ role, and factitious disorder may occur if the child takes on the role of ‘sick child’. Some psychological disorders may be associated with factitious disorder, such as having borderline or antisocial personality symptoms.  There appears to be some link between factitious disorder and having a history of abuse, neglect or other maltreatment. There are no direct links between certain disorders and factitious disorder.

TL;DR in English: Know who it affects. Recognize the motivation. Note identity problems or self-esteem issues. Identify links related to other disorders.

If you look at the keyboard on a piano, you'll see white keys with black keys between them. Black keys are grouped in pairs and in groups of 3 with a space between. The pattern repeats up and down the entire keyboard.  The distance between a white key and the black key right next to it is a half step. The distance between 2 white keys that have a black key between them is a whole step. Practice making whole and half steps up and down the keyboard to get a hands-on understanding of how they work and how the notes relate to one another. The scale for a key starts at the root note for that key. All scales follow the "whole-whole-half whole-whole-whole-half" pattern. Once you find the root note, you can play the entire scale by following that pattern.  You can find the scales on your own without worrying about any sheet music. Start with C and play each white key until you get to the next C on the keyboard. You've just played the C Major scale, which uses only white keys. Move over to the D and follow the same "whole-whole-half whole-whole-whole-half" step pattern to find the D Major scale. By following the same pattern one key over, you now have to use 2 black keys – F sharp and C sharp. You can follow this pattern from any key on the piano to get the scale for that note. Once your fingers get used to playing the pattern, you may find that you can play a scale without even looking at the keys. Once you know the scale, you can find all the major chords by stacking notes in relation to the root note. Form a chord by playing 3 or 4 notes of the scale, starting with the root note.  The major chord is the main chord formed by the first, third, and fifth notes in the root note's scale. For example, since the first 5 notes of the C scale are C-D-E-F-G, the C Major chord is C-E-G. To make a minor chord, the third note is lowered by a half-step. For example, C minor would be C-E flat-G. If you play the major chord followed by the minor chord for the same root note, you can hear the difference between the 2 types of...

TL;DR in English: Identify whole and half steps. Play the scale for different keys. Look for chords within the scale. Compare chord names to notes of the scale.

Take the time to get to know her as a close friend before trying to progress to something more. You may worry about being put in the dreaded “friend zone,” but the truth of the matter is that many girls do need to feel secure with a guy before they will consider going out with him. Letting her know that you genuinely care about her as a human and a friend will establish that trust. Once you reach a level of friendship that allows the two of you to hang out without being in a group, invite her to spend some time with you alone.  If you want to be cautious, ask her to visit someplace familiar yet different, like a different coffee shop or a nearby park that you have both talked about wanting to visit. If you want to be a little bolder, ask her to spend the afternoon or evening with you without revealing your plans. You can take her out for a nice meal, an interesting show, or a night of dancing. Insist on paying. If she puts up a fuss about it, tell her that you want to pay for her since you were the one who asked her to come out with you. Unless you frequently throw gifts her way, a gift lets the girl know that there is something different—and special—about your time together this day when compared to any other day.  Flowers, chocolates, or stuffed animals are all fair game. Avoid expensive gifts like jewelry or designer clothes. After you have spent some time enjoying each other's company, sit down with her and tell her that you have something important to say. Once you have her undivided attention, tell her honestly that you have strong feelings for her and would like her to be your girlfriend.  Do not pressure, but at the same time, avoid blowing it off as no big deal. You must be genuine without being pushy. Good example: “I really enjoy the time I spend with you and consider you an important part of my life. I can't help but have feelings for you past those of friendship, though. If you feel the same way, or think you could see me as a boyfriend, then I'd like to go out with you.” Bad example: “So, yeah....

TL;DR in English: Befriend her. Ask her to spend time with you in a pressure-free setting. Consider giving her a small, inexpensive gift. Tell her seriously how you feel. Accept her answer calmly.

Your body should be flowing with the movement of the horse's, rather than holding stiffly. Relax your shoulders up and back. This way, the horse can more easily sense signals from the seat. When you're first learning the half-halt, it's likely you'll use your hands more than when you get accustomed to the signal. Let the signal be very slight: turn your wrists in to increase contact with the bit.  Do not pull on the reins. You'll probably notice the horse lighten the bit and stride more evenly – however, this is most likely not a true half-halt (where the pace is maintained in the hind legs), but rather a disengagement of the hocks and consequent disruption of energy. If the horse hollows his back and raises his head, these are also signs that you need to continue to adjust your signal by engaging other aids. This signals the horse to deepen his hind-leg step. Briefly tighten your lower back muscles and squeeze your rear end, as though you were sitting on a swing and propelling yourself forward. If your elbows are hanging at your sides, the slight change in your back should travel through your arms into the reins, giving the horse enough of a signal that you do not need to manipulate the reins at all. Once you sense a bit of "halt," signal to him to keep moving steadily forward. You may do this primarily with your seat or leg, or with the two in combination.   Push your seat in a forward motion. Apply pressure with your leg lightly at the horse's side. Keeping your legs lightly against the horse's side throughout the half-halt helps ease the transition into driving forward.

TL;DR in English:


Use a combination of estrogen, progesterone, or both.

Contact your doctor if you have persistent spotting. Consider another type of birth control pill. Work with your doctor. Get regular pap smears and cervical exams. Talk your doctor about any other your medications you are taking. Inform your doctor of any new or existing medical conditions.

With an inside mount, the blinds sit inside the window or door frame. This allows the blinds to blend in with the window or door for a clean, streamlined look. An inside mount requires that the window or door frame has a certain depth in order to fit the the blinds. For vertical blinds, you usually need 3 inches (7.6 cm) to 4 inches (10 cm) of depth for an inside mount. If your frame isn’t deep enough, you’ll need to go with an outside mount. Because an outside mount hangs the blinds outside the frame, it can cover up the window or door. If you choose large enough blinds, you can actually conceal all of the unsightly feature. An outside mount covers up some of the area around the window so it can make the window appear larger. This can give your room a more balanced look.

TL;DR in English: Go with an inside mount for a cleaner look. Choose an outside mount for a frame without depth. Hide an unattractive window or door with an outside mount. Make a window look larger with an outside mount.

Measure out 2 cups (475 milliliters) of distilled water. Pour the water into a pot. Place the pot on a stove burner over high heat. Bring the water to a rolling boil. If you're not using dried herbs, there is no need to boil the distilled water. You will mix the ingredients together as is. If you’re using any dried herbs in your shampoo, measure them out now. Remember, don’t use more than 2 ounces (56 grams) total. When the water begins to boil, carefully add the herbs to the pot. After you add the dried herbs, put a lid on the pot. Reduce the heat to low. This will infuse the water with the herbs. Allow the herbs to steep in the simmering water for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off the burner and remove the lid from the pot. Be careful, since hot steam will probably rise up after you remove the lid. Place a large bowl beneath a strainer. The spent herbs will remain behind as the infused water goes into the bowl. After you strain the spent herbs out of the water, discard the remains. Measure out 6 ounces (180 milliliters) of liquid castile soap. Slowly pour the soap into the bowl with the infused water. Mix the substances together gently as you pour in the soap. The water is probably still very hot, so be careful not to splash. Measure out and add 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of aloe vera gel and ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) of jojoba oil. Carefully add them to the bowl one at a time, stirring constantly. Mix the ingredients together well. If you are using essential oils, add them now. Remember, don’t use more than 40 to 50 drops of the essential oils. Stir well.

TL;DR in English: Bring the distilled water to a boil. Add the dried herbs of your choice. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Remove the pot from heat and strain out the herbs. Pour the hot water carefully through the strainer. Add the castile soap to the herbal water. Add the aloe vera gel, jojoba and essential oils.

Section out a small piece of hair at the front of your head near the hairline. Twist this section 2-3 times in a regular braid, then use your index fingers to add additional hair to the braid. Add more hair every time you criss-cross strands. Keep doing this until you’ve added all of your hair to the braid, then secure it with an elastic.  The trickiest part of French braiding is holding your hair. Try holding a section between your second and third fingers, grasp another section between your first and second fingers, and hold the third section with the palm of your hand. Try parting your hair down the center and making 2 French braids to create texture and contrast in your hairstyle.

TL;DR in English: Braid a small section of hair and gradually add more for a French braid.

Purchase paper in any weight or color you like. For simple confetti, use white printer paper or use multicolored paper if you'd like a burst of color.  For a simple way to make unique confetti, purchase origami paper that has designs or patterns printed on them. Consider the event where the confetti will be used to determine what color confetti to make. For example, if you're making confetti for a winter party, choose paper that's pale blue, white, or silver. You don't need to buy new or expensive paper to make confetti. Look around your home for newspapers, envelopes, flyers, or wrapping paper that you can repurpose into confetti. You can also choose thin metallic materials or cellophane to turn into confetti. If you'd like confetti that floats in the air for a while before it lands, use tissue paper. It's also easy to punch out lots of tissue paper confetti since you can layer it before punching the pieces out. You can often purchase tissue paper that contains an assortment of complementary colors. If you'd like to make your confetti more interesting, use a combination of materials. For example, use a few pages of newspaper, thick ribbons, thin garland, and bright tissue paper. Remember that you can also control how you shape these different materials. You can cut the different materials into uniform pieces or into unique shapes.

TL;DR in English: Choose paper or cardstock for the most color variety. Reuse scrap or wrapping paper. Select tissue paper for the lightest confetti. Mix a variety of materials to create different textures or effects.

If you experience spotting or breakthrough bleeding for an extended amount of time, schedule an appointment with your doctor. Your doctor needs to know if you have spotting or breakthrough bleeding for more than seven days of your cycle. In addition, spotting or bleeding that persists for more than four months warrants medical attention.  See your doctor for new episodes of spotting. The spotting or breakthrough bleeding may be caused by something unrelated to your birth control pills. If you are continuing on the same regimen of birth control pills but begin to experience mid-cycle bleeding, this may be a symptom of another problem and should be evaluated by your doctor. Breakthrough bleeding may be a sign of other problems including pregnancy or conditions involving cervical changes. If you have made lifestyle changes such as smoking, or have started taking new medications that may be interacting with the birth control pill regimen, this can cause breakthrough bleeding as well. Many birth control pills are made to contain the lowest possible amounts of some hormones. Your doctor may change your pills to a type that contains slightly higher levels of estrogen if he or she is aware of your ongoing problem with spotting. Changing to a pill formulated with a different type of progesterone, such as levonorgestrel, may also help.>  If you continue to have problems with spotting or breakthrough bleeding on your current pill, talk to your doctor about either switching to another strength or extending the number of days you take active pills vs the placebo pills at the end of most packs. There are many types of pills that are effective at preventing pregnancy. Finding the best one to suit the hormonal needs of your body is simply a matter of being patient and trying a few different types. Doctors routinely start with products that contain the lowest possible amounts of either estrogen, progesterone, or both. Changing to a brand with a slightly higher dose of estrogen usually stops the problem with spotting and...

Read the package instructions. Choose the appropriate liquid to mix with cereals. Toss out unused cereals. Be patient with your child.

Get a large bowl. Crack 2 eggs on your counter or the rim of the bowl, and empty the yolks and whites into the bowl. Add your 2 scoops (40 g) of vanilla protein powder, 1 teaspoon (5 g) of baking powder, and 6 tablespoons (90 g) of water. Mix the ingredients together with an egg whisk until the mixture has a uniform, thick texture and is even in color.  You can use almond milk instead of water if you want fluffier pancakes with a little more weight to them. This batter should be relatively thick, but may seem a little thinner than traditional pancake batter. Use your measuring cup to pour your pancakes into the skillet. Pour 3 pancakes, using 1⁄3 cup (79 mL) of the batter for each pour. Leave a few inches of space between each pancake so that the batter doesn’t overlap in the pan.  Your pancakes should be roughly 3–5 in (7.6–12.7 cm) in diameter. Give each pancake that you pour 2-3 seconds to settle on the skillet so that you can see where the batter pools up. If you lubricated the skillet with butter, turn the heat back up to medium right before you pour the batter. If you cooked your pancakes for 3 minutes on the first side, cook them for another 3 minutes on the other side. If you cooked them for 4 minutes, cook the other side for an additional 4 minutes. Once your pancakes are done cooking, remove them with your spatula and place them on your serving plates. You will be able to tell when the other side is done cooking by monitoring the edges of the pancake. If they’re turning brown and hardening, they’re finished.

TL;DR in English: Mix your eggs, protein powder, baking soda, and water in a bowl. Pour 3 pancakes into your skillet with 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) between them. Cook the other side of the pancakes for 3-4 minutes.

You can purchase either seeds or young plants at a garden center. Sage can be planted in a garden or potted. When the plants have matured, cut young, tender stems with small leaves from the sage plant with a pair of garden scissors. Rinse the sage stems under cool, clean running water. Pat dry with a paper towel. Use your fingers to remove the sage leaves from the stem. Use the whole leaves or chop them into smaller pieces, depending on the recipe's instructions. If you cut more sage than you can use, store whole sprigs in a glass of water in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

TL;DR in English: Grow the sage. Harvest the sage. Clean the sage. Separate the leaves from the stem. Add the sage to your dish. Store excess sage.

In most entertaining speeches, you can take a fairly lighthearted and personal tone. Speakers often introduce themselves to the audience. Within the introduction, the speaker should explain the connection he or she has to the matter at hand and use that explanation to bridge into the speech.  This is most often seen at eulogies and weddings. The speaker introduces himself or herself and begins to explain who they are in connection to the subject being addressed. If you are delivering a wedding toast, you might begin by talking about your connection to the bride, groom, or couple getting married. It can also be used at an event being held by an organization. In that case, the speaker might explain her position within the organization. Speakers often begin a speech by referring directly to the topic at hand. This makes an immediate connection to the audience, whose members are all there for the sake of the same subject. When you have a personal connection to the subject of your speech, a common way to start your speech would be to share a personal story that demonstrates that connection. Incorporating current news stories is a good strategy because it confirms to the audience that your speech is relevant. Make a link between your speech topic and a current event by referring to something that has happened recently in the news., For example, if your speech is about the lack of women working in technology, you might find a recent story about how girls are being discouraged from pursuing science in high school. Start your speech by mentioning a relevant historical event in order to give your audience a common reference point. For example, if your speech is about overcoming challenges, you could talk about a historical figure who did just that, such as Helen Keller. Many speeches are given at professional or academic conferences. These events often have a theme that provides a sense of coherence to the overall purpose of the conference. Connect the beginning of your speech to this theme. For a speech delivered at a...

TL;DR in English: Extend a personal greeting. Recount your connection to the subject. Tell a personal story. Refer to a current event. Refer to a historical event or person. Connect to the conference theme. Refer to the occasion.

Chew your food until it’s almost liquid and there aren’t any lumps in it. For softer foods such as berries of cooked vegetables, break them up by chewing them 5-10 times. For tougher foods such as meat, start breaking them down by chewing each bite up to 30 times so it’s easier on your digestive system, which will reduce the symptoms of your gastroparesis. Taking the time to count your chews can force you to chew your food enough. Eating 2-3 large meals a day is taxing on your digestive system and will increase the severity of your gastroparesis symptoms. Eat multiple, smaller meals throughout the day so your stomach doesn’t have to produce as much stomach acid or work as hard to digest your food, which will help with your symptoms. Focus on small, but nutritionally dense meals that don’t include lots of fat or fiber. For example, Greek yogurt with some fresh berries could be a great small meal. Exercise boosts your metabolism and will also help move food through your stomach and digestive system, which will make your gastroparesis symptoms feel better. When you finish a meal, take a short 10-15 minute walk to help your body process it. Don’t overexert yourself or do intense exercise after you eat or you could make your symptoms worse. Lying down makes it more difficult for your stomach to process the food that you eat and will make your symptoms worse. After you finish a meal, give your body enough time to process it and empty your stomach before you lie down on the couch or in bed. Smoking causes damage to your stomach lining and affects your digestion, both of which will exacerbate your gastroparesis symptoms. If you do smoke, quit as soon as you can to improve your symptoms. If you’re around others who smoke, try to avoid breathing in the secondhand smoke.

TL;DR in English: Chew your food thoroughly before you swallow to make it easier to digest. Eat 5-6 small meals to minimize stress on your digestive system. Go for a light walk after you eat to help digest your food. Avoid lying down for 2 hours after you eat. Quit smoking or avoid secondhand smoke so you don’t irritate your stomach.

Regardless of what type of cereal you purchase for your baby, it's important to make sure that you follow the mixing instructions correctly.  This will help ensure your baby is getting the right amount of cereal.  Each infant cereal will have specific instructions listed on the actual product.  Before you purchase a product, make sure you read over the instructions. If you need to cook or heat the cereal, make sure to follow the directions to ensure the cereal is prepared correctly.  Always allow a cereal to come down to room temperature before feeding it to your child. The cereal should be mixed until it's a thin and quite liquid consistency.  You may need to add more milk or formula to get it to the right consistency. When preparing an infant or baby cereal, you'll need to mix the dry cereal with a liquid.  Take advantage of this opportunity to add more nutrition to your baby's cereal.  Most cereals will tell you to mix with breast milk or formula.  This helps increase the nutrient content (especially in terms of protein and fat) of the cereal.  It's essential that you do this step. You can mix your infant cereal with water if you do not have any breast milk or formula available to you.  However, try to limit how often you do this. Like most baby foods, you do not want to keep prepared cereals long.  Feeding your child leftovers can put them in danger of getting sick.  You need to be extra careful with how long you store uneaten baby cereals.  Babies and infants are the most susceptible to foodborne illness since their immune systems are still immature. If you make extra baby cereal, only put a few tablespoons into a bowl.  Do not feed your child from the larger serving.  Saliva can contaminate the cereal if you were to store it the refrigerator. Throw out any extra cereal your child didn't consume from their pre-portioned serving.  In addition, only keep baby cereal for 24 hrs. All children tolerate foods at different stages and at different times.  As you and your child get the hang of eating solids,...

TL;DR in English:


Decide what it means to be "genuine. Spend time with those who charge you up. Wake up! Get vulnerable. Be honest. Know your impact. Look how you want to look.

If you haven't already, discuss the issue with your doctor. It may be that you don't need to gain weight. If you do, your doctor can help you estimate how many calories you need, as well as help you make a plan to increase your calories in a way that's healthy for you and your baby. Your doctor may also recommend you see a nutritionist, who can provide you with one-on-one help to make a dietary plan. These calculators use factors like your weight and height to help determine how many calories you need. Since you're breastfeeding, use one that factors that in, as you need more calories. Try the one from the U.S. Government at https://www.choosemyplate.gov/MyPlatePlan.  This particular calculator tells you how many calories per day you need to maintain your weight. Be sure to mark that you're breastfeeding. To gain a pound, you need to eat 3,500 calories more than you're burning. That can be over any period of time, such as a week or a month. A food journal can help you estimate how many calories you're consuming each day.  Write down the foods you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Add up the number of calories you're eating. You can use this chart to help you out: https://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/pdf/food_diary_cdc.pdf. If you're not used to counting calories, you may need to measure your foods to accurately represent what you're eating. For instance, you may not be able to visually estimate what a serving of pasta looks like. Use online calorie counters to help you estimate you're servings. You can also use apps to help you count calories. You need to be taking in more calories per day than what you need to maintain your weight. Take the number you got from what you're eating, and see if it is equal to, less than, or more than that number. So if the calculator tells you need 2200 calories to maintain your weight as a breastfeeding mother, you'll need to take in 2300-2400 calories a day at least to gain weight. To gain a pound a week, you'd need to take in an extra 500 calories a day.

TL;DR in English: Talk to a doctor or nutritionist about your nutrition needs. Determine your caloric needs while breastfeeding. Keep a food journal to estimate how many calories you're eating. Compare your caloric intake with the calories you need to maintain your weight.

The Slow Food Movement emphasizes buying from vendors based in your community or area. Look for local vendors at your local supermarket. Check the label to confirm the product was made by a local producer or grown by a local farmer. Try buying local vegetables, fruits, grains, and dairy.  Shop at local farmer’s markets in your area to ensure all your produce is locally grown and you know exactly where it came from. Contact farmers in your area and buy from them directly so you have access to fresh, local food. Get to know your local farmers so you know the history of your food and how it is grown. Buy foods that have not been genetically modified, especially fruits and vegetables. This will ensure you are eating clean food that has not been tampered with in any way.   Try to find foods that are certified organic. They will be labeled organic in the supermarket. You can also ask local vendors if their food is organic and non-GMO. The Slow Food Movement emphasizes eating less meat in your diet and having more vegetables, fruits, and grains. Try reducing your meat consumption so you only have it one to two times a week. If you do buy meat, get it from a local butcher. Confirm the meat is from a high quality animal that has been treated well.  Having less meat will also follow the environmental aspect of the Slow Food Movement, as commercial meat production can be hard on the environment.

TL;DR in English: Buy from local vendors. Shop for organic, non-GMO foods. Purchase less meat.

You should remove any hazardous decorations or aggressive fish from your betta’s environment. Your fish’s vision is most likely impaired, which means that the likelihood of running into sharp objects inside the aquarium or getting even more injured by other fish is higher. Avoid this easily by putting your fish in its own separate tank temporarily. Epsom salt, or magnesium sulfate, does a good job of removing the fluid that’s built up behind your betta fish’s eye. Every three days, add one tablespoon for every 5 gallons (18.9 L) of water that your fish is in. There are several different antibiotics that when added to the betta fish’s water, will make the popeye subside. Typically, you can purchase these antibiotics at pet stores.  Put ampicillin in the fish tank and switch out the water every third day. Administer the medicine until a week after your fish’s popeye has gone away.  If you catch the popeye early enough, you can use erythromycin, minocycline, trimethoprim, or sulfadimidine, which are all antibiotics typically used to treat fin rot. It can take anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple months for the swelling to go down, and even longer for cornea damage to improve. Reintroduce your betta to its original environment a couple of weeks after its eyes look their normal size. In more severe cases, one of the betta’s eyes might decay and fall off during the healing process. If this happens, keep your betta isolated permanently.

TL;DR in English: Isolate the betta fish. Put epsom salts in the fish tank. Add an antibiotic to the betta fish’s water. Return your betta fish to its original tank after the swelling subsides.

Holy basil tea is great for relieving mild, occasional bouts of emotional stress or receiving its health benefits in low doses. Take a cup when you're feeling nervous or overwhelmed to receive relief within several hours. You can buy holy basil tea at some alternative health stores or steep holy basil leaves in water yourself. Holy basil capsules or tablets are concentrated and offer a stronger dose than teas. Buy holy basil capsules online or at some health food stores, and take it with food or water to help your body absorb it quickly.  Because of their potency and relaxing supplements, holy basil capsules can be used as natural sleep supplements.  Never take more than the package's recommended dosage at a time. Holy basil soup is an effective way to receive its health benefits if you dislike the taste of tea. Holy basil pairs particularly well with shiitake, maitake, and reishi mushrooms or astragalus, codonopsis, or burdock root in soups. If you'd prefer not to take holy basil as a tea, you can take a concentrated extract with other drinks. Buy a holy basil extract online or from a health food store and add several drops to water or another drink, depending on your preference.  You can also rub holy basil extract against the skin to relieve skin irritation or inflammation. Using an extract is an ideal way to take holy basil if you don't want to take a capsule but dislike the herb's distinct taste.

TL;DR in English: Drink a cup of holy basil tea to treat mild conditions. Take holy basil capsules for their potency. Steep holy basil leaves to make a medicinal soup. Try a holy basil extract to ingest it with any drink.

" This may not be as easy as it seems, considering the immense influence the media has on us all. Sure, we are all unique individuals, but few, if any, people have absolute resistance to the persuasive influence of advertisers, the media, and peer pressure to conform. Because it's so difficult, decide what genuine means to you. The beauty of it is that you get to choose. Does being genuine mean pursuing your own fashion? Does it mean saying whatever crosses your mind? Does it mean showing your emotions, whatever they are? Does it mean ignoring what's popular? There are many takes on this concept -- what speaks to you? If you've gotten rid of your toxic friends (we all have 'em), this shouldn't be too hard. Who do you crave hanging out with? Who always makes you feel good about yourself? And then think about this: who is the person you are afterward? We all have versions of ourselves. Some are "worse" than others, as they can't all be the same. The idea here is to bring out the best you and to make that "best you" a constant. And the best you is naturally genuine, obviously. You know the phrase "stop and smell the roses?" Kinda like that. Tons of us go around in a technology-induced stupor, barely doing the thing we call living. We're unaware of how we come off, how we actually feel, how we influence others, etc. So wake up! Pay attention the world around you. Stop right now and look around your environment. Note 4 things you didn't notice before. Crazy how your mind just sifts out stimuli, huh? There's so much going on in our heads sometimes it's hard to realize we're playing those games we talked about, especially when we've been playing them since we were babies. If it would help, start watching other people. How are they placating others? How do they phrase things? How do they position their bodies? Once you notice other people not saying and doing what they mean/want, you can notice similar patterns in yourself, waking yourself up. When you abandon the mind games and socially acceptable behavior, you're...

TL;DR in English:


Apply fertilizer once every two weeks. Water papaya seedlings and established plants regularly. Apply bark mulch or wood chips if necessary. Inspect the papaya's leaves and bark regularly for signs of disease or insects. Harvest papaya fruits when they reach the level of ripeness you desire.

If the dog seems open to being approached (he sits or stands without raised fur or bared teeth, and doesn't growl or snap at you), start to gain his trust. Offer something like a treat that builds trust and lets the dog know you have good intentions. Slowly approach him and offer the back of your hand with your palm down for the dog to sniff. Take your time and pause if he becomes frightened or hostile.  Pay attention to what triggers an emotional response from the dog and be sensitive. Pause and allow the dog to get more comfortable before starting to approach the dog again. Never reach over the dog's head or body. The dog will see this as a threat and either run away or may bite you before retreating. Once you've gained the dog's trust and you can get close to him, restrain him. Quickly and quietly slip a leash or rope around his neck. This is important to control the dog and prevent him from running away. If the dog twists and tries to get away after you've gotten a leash on him, try to verbally reassure him. For example, say, "Calm down, boy," in a gentle, but firm voice. If you take the dog to any veterinary clinic or the Humane Society, they can check for a microchip that locates the owners. If the dog has an owner, the owner will be notified and your job is done. If there's no microchip, you could still try to find the owners by doing any of the following:  Post “found dog” flyers around the neighborhood where you found the dog. If the dog has a home, it is likely that he didn’t wander off too far from it. Notify local veterinary clinics, animal shelters and animal control/police departments that you found a dog. Give a thorough description of the dog—color, gender, breed, weight, and any other distinguishing characteristics. Call the local radio station to see if a lost dog has been reported or to see if they will mention it on the air. This is a good option in small communities. Post found dog ads on-line and with local community newspapers. If you decide to bring the dog to your home, have him...

TL;DR in English: Build rapport. Restrain the dog. Find the dog's owners. Take the dog to the vet. Foster your rescue.

You can buy a water bowl from your local pet store or make one yourself. Bearded dragons sometimes like to take baths in their water bowls, so make sure that it’s large enough for that.  The water bowl should have sides that are low enough for the bearded dragon to be able to get into and out of the the water dish. If making your own bowl, you can use the plastic container from a frozen dinner, which is the perfect size. Once you’ve filled the bowl with water, add something that will entice the dragon to drink from it. Good choices are natural fruit juices, such as apple or pear juice. Add just enough juice to flavor the water and make it tasty.  Make sure the juice is 100% juice and doesn’t have added sugars or artificial ingredients. You can experiment with different juices if the dragon doesn’t seem to like your first choice. The sweet smell of the juice should lure the dragon to the water bowl. If it doesn’t, you can try adding a bit more juice to make the smell stronger.  Make sure to replace the water and juice regularly, as dragons may defecate into the water even if they haven’t drunk from it. Replace with a juice and water mixture after cleaning the water dish if the dragon still hasn’t drank from it. Once the dragon has realized that it can satisfy its thirst with the bowl, it will know to go there when it’s thirsty. From now on you can fill the bowl up with only water.  Keep an eye on your dragon to make sure that it is in fact drinking. Bearded dragons don’t need very much water, so it may be hard to catch them drinking. A bearded dragon's water dish needs to be cleaned everyday, since they will often defecate in their bowls.

TL;DR in English: Place a water bowl in the cage. Add juice to the bowl. Repeat the process until your dragon drinks. Replace the juice and water mixture with water.

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

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

The first place to start is with your local weather. Turn on the local forecast or go online and look up the day’s temperature. Be aware of any inclement weather and listen especially for excessive heat or cold warnings. Take note of the temperature if you have an outdoor thermometer. This will give you some idea of the conditions outside. But keep in mind that it doesn’t give the whole story: thermometers record the air temperature. They do not register wind chill or heat index, which make it feel colder or warmer than the actual air temperature. Extreme cold can lead to hypothermia, when the body’s natural temperature gets too low, or frostbite. The Canadian Pediatric Society recommends that children play inside in temperatures under -25ºC/-13ºF However, this is the absolute limit – when the skin begins to freeze in only a few minutes.  The state of Oklahoma recommends that children play inside when wind chills fall below 10ºF. However, kids need to come inside for breaks every 20 to 30 minutes when the wind chill is below 32ºF.  In the United States, the National Weather Service will issue a wind chill advisory or warning when wind chills are low enough to pose a threat to human life. If your area is under such a warning, you should definitely keep your kids inside. Very hot conditions can put children at risk of heatstroke, heat exhaustion, burns from hot object like playground equipment, sunburn, and excessive thirst, especially during active play. Have kids stay indoors when temperatures are over 35ºC - 40ºC/95ºF - 100ºF and wait for it to cool down.  If your kids are active, or if you live in a warmer climate, it is a good idea to limit play or exercise to cooler periods in the morning or evening. Avoid playing in hot weather between 10am - 4pm.  The National Weather Service issues excessive heat warning and advisories whenever it is hot enough to be hazardous to human health. You should keep your kids inside if your area is under such a warning. Many schools have rules on what temperatures are...

TL;DR in English: Check the local weather forecast. Keep children indoors in very cold conditions. Keep children indoors in very hot temperatures. Follow your school’s guidelines.

Apply fertilizer to growing plants every 10–14 days, diluting it according to the fertilizer's instructions. Use a "complete" fertilizer, not a specialized one. Continue to apply at least until the plants are about 12 inches (30 cm) tall. After the plant reaches this size, commercial growers continue to fertilize papaya every two weeks with 1/4 lb. (0.1 kg) complete fertilizer near but not touching the base of the plant. Follow this practice if you would like to hasten the plant's growth, gradually increasing the amount of fertilizer and length of time between applications until the papayas receive no more than 2 lb. (0.9 kg) every two months starting at seven months old. Papayas can be easily damaged by standing pools of water, but may not produce sizable fruit without regular water access. If planted in loam that holds water well, water no more than once every three or four days. In sandy or rocky soils, increase this to once every one to two days during hot weather. Allow a few more days between waterings during cooler seasons. Apply pine bark, another bark mulch, or wood chips around the base of the plant if you need to reduce weeds or if the plant looks withered from failure to retain water. Layer 2 inches (5 cm) of mulch around the papaya, no closer than 8 inches (20 cm) to the trunk. Spots or yellowing on leaves or bark indicate possible disease. Black spots on the leaf won't typically affect the fruit, but may be treated with fungicide if the infection is severe. Curling leaves may be a sign of picking up herbicide from a nearby lawn. Other problems, including insects or full plant collapse, may require consulting an expert gardener or local agricultural department. Tart, green fruits may be eaten as a vegetable, but many people prefer fully ripe, yellow or orange fruits for their sweet taste. You may harvest anytime after the fruit is mostly yellow-green, if you would like them to finish ripening indoors, away from pests.

TL;DR in English:


Wash your hair. Massage 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of pre-styling mousse into your damp hair. Blow-dry your hair on medium/high heat for 5-6 minutes. Use a round brush to sweep your hair upward and back. Blow-dry your hair on the cold setting for 1-2 minutes. Apply 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of hair clay or paste for a dry look. Apply 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of hair gel or wax for a wet finish. Finish off with some hairspray. Experiment with different products.

Try everything on separately first to make sure it fits. Make any necessary adjustments before putting your costume on. Make sure you have everything you need to become Darth Vader. This includes: padding (optional), helmet, black long-sleeve shirt and pants, black cape, black gloves, and black boots. While padding is not necessary, it adds bulk and gives the impression of muscles. You can use old football or hockey gear, such as shoulder and chest pads, shin guards, and/or an athletic girdle. To avoid chafing, you should wear a t-shirt and briefs under the pads. If wearing one, put the athletic girdle or shapewear on first. Next, position the shoulder pads so they are comfortable and have someone help you secure them in the front and back. Finally, tie or strap-on knee of shin guards.  Pads can be bulky and make it difficult or uncomfortable to move around in. If you are not used to them, practice wearing them around the house for a few hours over several days. Use duct tape (attached to clothing - not skin) to help secure pads that feel loose or shift too much. Sports equipment is expensive. If you do not have pads of your own, ask to borrow them from a friend or check a second-hand store or consignment shop for clean used items. You pants and long-sleeve shirt or sweatshirt should fit snugly but not be too tight. If you decide not to wear pads, but still want to create a bulky look, consider wearing a thick sweatshirt or layer several shirts. You can do the same for pants - wear two pairs of sweatpants, or pull black sweatpants over a regular pair of jeans. Layering clothing is also a good idea if you will be wearing the costume outside in cold weather. Pull your boots up over your pants or tuck your pants into your boots. If necessary, lace-up and tie your boots before putting on your gloves. If you made boot covers, you can simply pull them over your sneakers. Try walking around. Stamp your feet when you walk so you look more intimidating. Tie or Velcro your cape around your neck. Adjust it so it is...

TL;DR in English: Give yourself 10 to 15 minutes to get into the costume. Put padding on first (optional). Put on the black pants and long-sleeve shirt. Tuck your pants into the boots and put on your gloves. Add the cape and helmet. Add a lightsaber or make your own. Make your own control panel. Breathe deeply and make rasping noises.

This is one of the easiest ways to keep a cat indoors, especially so if you have multiple cats.  Neutering and spaying makes cats less territorial and inhibits their tendency to roam.  Cats that have not been fixed will not adjust as well to being kept indoors, especially if they used to have access to the outside world. Plus, cats that have been neutered/spayed are more sociable and tend to have better health. Place your cat in a location away from any doors or windows through which it might escape.  Click a clicker with one hand and, at the same time, use your free hand to administer a treat.  Say “Good cat” in a gentle, reassuring way and pet the cat.  Repeat three or four times per training session, and hold several such training sessions daily.  After a week or so, your cat should begin to associate the sound of the clicker with being in that location.  From then on, perform one or two sessions daily for another week. After the second week, your cat should know where it needs to be when you enter and exit.  From then on, click the clicker and administer two or three treats to occupy your cat just before you leave. Take the clicker with you or leave it right by the door.  When you come home, click the clicker and lavish your cat with positive attention. Sometimes your cat just wants to satisfy its curiosity about the great big world outside.  Place your cat in its harness and connect it to a leash.  Take your cat for a walk around the block, or take it to the park to help it get in touch with its wild side.  With luck, this will diminish your cat’s urges to go outdoors, at least for a few days.

TL;DR in English: Spay or neuter your cat. Train your cat to sit and stay away from exits. Walk your cat.

By using chemical pesticides, you can often kill the insects that prey on spider mites, making it easier for spider mites to grow and populate on your plants. Spider mites have also been known to develop quick resistance to some pesticides, so it's best to control spider mites with natural methods.  Female spider mites can produce up to 300 eggs continuously over a few weeks. If some eggs are unable to be killed by pesticides, the mite problem may only get worse. Before taking any steps to remove spider mites, you'll want to remove the infected plants to an area without any other plants. This will prevent the spider mites from spreading and harming your other plants. After removing the infected plant to an isolated area, begin pruning the plant, removing any stems, leaves, or other infested parts of the plant and throw in the trash. Make sure to remove until all webbing is gone. Unfortunately, you may have to remove entire plants to prevent mites from spreading to other plants if the plant is overly infested.  Make sure to throw leaves directly in a trash bag so they won't spread. Throwing them in your compost pile will allow spider mites to escape to your other plants. Using a high pressure water hose or nozzle, spray plant generously. This will dislodge spider mites from the plant and kill some of them, reducing the number of spider mites on your plant. If treating an indoor plant, use a wet sponge or take it outdoors to spray.  This treatment typically has to be repeated in order to effectively remove spider mites. This is a great step, because allowing natural predators to inhabit your plant will keep spider mite population to a minimum, if not dissolving it completely, and you won't have to worry about spider mites continually infecting your plants. You can purchase these predators from reputable nurseries.  Ladybugs, lacewing, and predatory mites are the best predators for spider mites The best time to release predators is when spider mite levels are relatively low. You'll also want to make sure the...

TL;DR in English: Know the benefits of organic treatment. Isolate the plant immediately. Prune the plant. Spray the plant with water. Introduce natural predators. Create a soap spray. Use hot pepper spray. Spray plant with an oil solution.

You'll have an easier time adding volume to your hairstyle if you're working with clean hair. Gently dry off with a towel when you’re finished. Rub a palm-sized amount of mousse between your hands, and then run your fingers from the front to the back of your scalp. Massage the product into sections of hair as you go. Using mousse will help add volume and shape to your hair. For bonus utility, opt for a mousse that doubles as a heat protectant. Dry your hair from the back of your head to the front, so that your dry back hairs can serve as a surface to layer your longer front hairs. As you dry your hair, use a wave-like brushing motion. This will lock your hair in an upward sweeping motion, while creating volume throughout your hair. For short hair, this may be all you need to get it to stand straight up. Longer hair may need the help of additional product. At the end of your 5-6 minute drying interval on medium/hot, switch the setting on your blowdryer to cold. Stick with this setting until your hair is completely dry. Using the cold setting for the final minutes of your drying session will help lock in the shape of your hairstyle. Rub a dime-sized amount of product between the palms of your hands, and incorporate it into your freshly volumized locks. Using product will help your hair hold its shape while maintaining a natural look.  If your hair is thick, use a hair clay. If your hair is on the thinner side, opt for a paste. Using too much product can weigh down your hair, which can prevent it from standing up. When in doubt, use less clay/paste than you think you’ll need. You can always apply more later. Rub a quarter-sized amount of product between your fingers, and use the product to sculpt your hair into spikes. When using gels and waxes, start from the roots of your hair, and comb upwards with your fingers. Gels and waxes will sculpt your hair in a firm, spiky style that will appear wet all day. This step is optional, but using hairspray will help ensure that your hairstyle holds its shape. Give your...
