The foundation of any good doctor-patient relationship is effective communication. Talking to your dentist before, during, and after procedures can help minimize your fears.  Speak with your dentist before the procedure about any fears or concerns you have. You may also want her to explain the procedure to you before it begins.  Ask your dentist to keep you informed as she is doing the procedure. Remember that you have the right to know what is happening. Tackling a fear can cause any person to lose confidence and avoid a situation. Employing the behavioral tactic of scripting before your appointment can help you engage with otherwise scary situations and minimize your fear of the dentist. Scripting is a technique where you conceptualize a game plan or “script” for a specific situation and follow through with it. For example, if you are scared of an upcoming teeth cleaning, write notes and develop a plan that will allow you to have equal command of the appointment. Think about what you could say in response to any questions or contingencies that may arise in your interaction. If you fear a dentist’s visit or a specific procedure, frame it in simple terms. Framing is a behavioral technique that can help you shape how you think and feel about specific situations by making them seem commonplace or banal.  If you are afraid about having your teeth cleaned, you can reframe it as, “This is a quick procedure that’s just like brushing my teeth.”  Working with smaller and more manageable units can help you overcome any fears. Relaxing can help you have a more pleasant experience at the dentist and may minimize your fears. From breathing exercises to medication, there are different relaxation techniques you can employ to manage your dental phobia.  Many dentists will suggest using nitrous oxide, sedation, or anti-anxiety medications such as alprazolam to help you relax during your visit.  Some dentists will give anti-anxiety medication before appointments if you suffer from severe nerves.  If you take any anti-anxiety...

TL;DR in English: Communicate with your dentist. Script procedures that scare you. Frame dental procedures in simple terms. Employ relaxation techniques. Distract yourself with different media. Take a friend or family member to your appointment. Prevent serious dental problems with regular visits. Reward yourself for positive appointments.

Let down the top section of your hair. Divide the top section down the middle into two sides. Working from the back, isolate a section of hair. The section of hair should be about 3 inches (9 mm) thick in diameter. Position the blade two to three inches (or more) from the root of your hair. Place the razor at a 45 degree angle relative to your hair. Using very light pressure, move the razor in short, choppy motions from the middle down to the ends of your hair. Since the hair at the top of your head is the most visible, make sure to use very light pressure and work slowly. Remember, you can always go back and remove more hair if it isn't enough. Make sure to use the comb to remove the loose hair as you cut. Do this for the rest of the sections at the top of your head until you have razor cut all of the sections. Once you have cut all of your hair, brush through your hair one final time to remove any loose hair. Your hair should feel much lighter.

TL;DR in English: Separate a section of hair. Hold the section taut. Use gentle pressure to cut the top sections. Repeat steps one through three.

If you believe the world is a bad place, you will probably tend to have a negative attitude. As such, if you can work on changing your beliefs about the world, your attitude will likely follow suit.  Also remember that beliefs tend to be quite subjective and there are multiple ways of looking at the same thing. So, try to look for evidence that runs contrary to the belief that you hold. For example, if you believe the world is a bad place, you might spend a couple hours researching all the ways in which people help each other in times of need. Your negative ideas about the world may cause you to act a certain way and this can determine the outcome of some situations. Your negative ideas may even start to take the form of predictions and, each time one of your predictions comes true, your negative views are reinforced. This is known as a self-fulfilling prophecy. An example of a self-fulfilling prophecy is if you think that the world is a cold, mean place and so you are cold and mean to people. As a result, people may be cold and mean to you in return. You might then interpret their actions as being in line with your view of the world, which reinforces your attitude. You have a lot of control over the way you think about the world. Try to keep that in mind and use it to your advantage. Ultimately, you are responsible for your attitude and cannot blame how you think on others or on your situation. Remember that although you may not be able to change your circumstances sometimes, you can still change how you react to them by adopting one kind of attitude over another. In some sense, much of reality is subjective, such as whether you enjoy what you are doing or not. This depends in large part on the thoughts that you emphasize and focus on.   For example, if you do not much enjoy your job, you might think with a bad attitude "This really sucks and is pointless." However, you could also take a more positive attitude toward the exact same situation and think "It is pretty amazing that I can do a task and get money...

TL;DR in English: Challenge your existing beliefs. Examine your ideas about the world. Take responsibility for your attitude. Re-frame your focus. Fake it until you make it.

An absolute value is the distance from the number to zero along a number line. Simply put, |−4|{\displaystyle |-4|} is just asking you how far away -4 is from zero. Since distance is always a positive number (you can't travel "negative" steps, just steps in a different direction), the result of absolute value is always positive. At its most simple, absolute value makes any number positive. It is useful for measuring distance, or finding values in finances where you work with negative numbers like debt or loans. The notation for absolute value is easy. Single bars (or a "pipe" on a keyboard, found near the enter key) around a number or expression, like |n|,|3+5|,|−72|{\displaystyle |n|,|3+5|,|-72|}, indicates absolute value.  |2|{\displaystyle |2|} is read as "the absolute value of 2." For instance, |-5| would become |5|. The number remaining is your answer, so |-5| becomes |5| and then 5. This is all you need to do |−5|=5{\displaystyle |-5|=5} If you've got a simple expression, like |−10|{\displaystyle |-10|}, you can just make the whole thing positive. But expressions like |(−4∗5)+3−2|{\displaystyle |(-4*5)+3-2|} need to be simplified before you can take the absolute value. The normal order of operations still applies:   Problem:|(−4∗5)+3−2|{\displaystyle |(-4*5)+3-2|}   Simplify inside parenthesis: |(−20)+3−2|{\displaystyle |(-20)+3-2|}   Add and Subtract:|−19|{\displaystyle |-19|}   Make everything inside the absolute value positive: |19|{\displaystyle |19|}   Final Answer: 19 When determining longer equations, you want to do all the possible work before finding the absolute value. You should not simplify absolute values until everything else has been added, subtracted, and divided successfully. For example:   Problem:1+2+|4−7|5∗|−3∗2|{\displaystyle {\frac {1+2+|4-7|}{5*|-3*2|}}}   Perform the order of operations inside and outside the absolute value:3+|−3|5∗|−6|{\displaystyle {\frac {3+|-3|}{5*|-6|}}}   Take the absolute values:3+(3)5∗(6){\displaystyle {\frac {3+(3)}{5*(6)}}}   Order of...

TL;DR in English: Remember that absolute value is a number's distance from zero. Make the number in the absolute value sign positive. Use simple, vertical bars to show absolute value. Drop any negative signs on the number inside the absolute value marks. Drop the absolute value marks. Simplify the expression inside the absolute value sign. Always use the order of operations before finding absolute value. Keep working on some practice problems to get it down.

You may have to wait even longer than that, depending on how dry or humid it is in your home. In fact, it would be a good idea to poke your finger under the papier-mâché; if it feels wet, give it a little more time.  This completes your dinosaur's body. Don't worry about the hole left by the balloon. You'll end up covering it with the dinosaur's head or tail. How long it will take for your project to dry really depends on what the weather is like. Papier-mâché will dry a lot faster on a hot, dry, sunny day than on a cold, wet, day. Be patient!

TL;DR in English:


Make sure you don't say anything inappropriate at this stage. Match what you say with how close of a relationship you have. If you just met her, you will not say the same things to her as you would if you've known her for a long time. If you just met her, you will not say the

Appeal to her interests. Compliment her. Let her know you think about her. Ask a question.

Even though it may feel terrifying when you are experiencing it, remembering that sleep paralysis won't really result in any harm can be comforting. The main side effects of sleep paralysis are lack of sleep and increased anxiety. You may find that you are able to move smaller areas of your body, such as your toes, fingers, or your tongue. Once you are able to make a small initial movement, you may find that the spell of the paralysis is broken, and you're able to move the rest of your body. Try focusing on your body parts sequentially as in a relaxation routine. Bring your attention to your toes and think about them. Then try to move your toes and move on to your feet, legs and so on. Some people intentionally induce a sleep-paralysis state to encourage what they believe to be out-of-body experiences. In turn, imagining yourself moving or projecting movement may be enough to push you out of paralysis. Sleep paralysis can be accompanied by fear or even terror. Other people feel like someone or something menacing is in the room. As you experience these emotions, try to remind yourself that everything is okay. Focus on trying to deepen your breathing, especially if your chest feels weighted or heavy. Fear can be one of the worst aspects of sleep paralysis. Try to remind yourself that the thing you fear has not really happened. Focus on the here and now. Often, an episode of sleep paralysis can be broken when you hear a sound or feel someone touch you. Therefore, having a close family member understand that can help if they happen to see you having an episode, which will only work if you are able to open your eyes during paralysis. They can tap you or speak to you to try to arouse you out of the paralysis. If you can, open your eyes so that another person nearby can notice. However, not everyone is able to do it. Some people are able to open their eyes and look around. If you can, try to do so. Look back and forth quickly. This small movement helps some people come out of the paralyzed state.

TL;DR in English: First, realize sleep paralysis is not a dangerous or deadly condition. Focus on body movement. Imagine yourself moving. Focus on your breathing to stay calm. Discuss it with your partner or family members. Focus on eye movement.

This method also requires that you line your baking sheet with a piece of wax paper or parchment paper. The lined baking sheet will serve as your surface for laying out and freezing your bacon slices. You don’t need to leave a lot of space between each slice, but be sure the sides of your bacon are not touching. If have more bacon than fits on your baking sheet, you can add another sheet of wax paper on top of your first layer of bacon. Then you can finish spreading out your bacon on top of that second sheet of wax paper. Place your baking sheet in the freezer. Wait until the bacon is frozen solid. Once your bacon is frozen on your baking sheet, pull off the slices of bacon from your wax paper, place them in an airtight container or freezer bag, and put them back in the freezer immediately.

TL;DR in English: Prepare a baking sheet. Place your bacon on the baking sheet in a single layer. Add another layer. Freeze your bacon. Separate your bacon.

Have the last few things you've written her been boring or commonplace? If you are not saying anything interesting, she won't want to reply back to you. Try to liven up your texts with a topic she is interested in or something that you know she would like to talk about. This way, she might be more willing to respond and hold a longer discussion with you over text. A good way to get her to respond is by letting her know you are thinking about her. Text her things like: "I really liked that outfit you wore yesterday." or "You kicked butt when we all went bowling last week." These things make her pay attention to the conversation, feel special, and know you like her. Bring up something that reminds you of her. Text her something like: "There is this flower outside that is the same colour as your eyes. It makes me think about you when I see it." It lets her know that you think about her outside of the current conversation. It will also likely bring her back into the conversation with you. Make sure you don't say anything inappropriate at this stage. Match what you say with how close of a relationship you have. If you just met her, you will not say the same things to her as you would if you've known her for a long time. If you are trying to get a longer response from her, ask her a question that has more than a one word answer. You can even turn it into something flirty. Ask her something like: "What is your idea of a perfect date, and why?" This puts the idea of romance in her head and requires a longer response. It also has the added benefit of helping you get to know her a little better.

Purchase an alcohol-based ink from your local craft store that’s the color you want to dye your wig. Empty the contents of the ink bottle into a spray bottle. Then, add in the same amount of water to the spray bottle, screw the top on, and shake it up to mix the contents. For an average wig, use 1 1-oz. (29.6-ml) bottle of ink. For a wig that’s especially long and/or thick, use 2 1-oz. (19.6-ml) bottles. If you don’t want to buy an alcohol-based ink and you have a Sharpie marker with an ink color that you like, you can use it instead. Remove the cap and pull apart the Sharpie with a pair of pliers. Pull out the ink tube that’s inside and slice it open with an Exacto knife. Then, place the ink tube in your spray bottle, add in your preferred amount of water, and let it sit overnight.

TL;DR in English: Mix a 1:1 ratio of alcohol-based ink and water in a spray bottle. Use Sharpie ink as an alternative.

Some areas require more forms than others, so it is a good idea to call your DMV or local transport authorities first. Most forms can be found online on their website or picked up from their office. Some forms you may be required to fill out include:  Application for Title and Registration of a Vehicle Sales tax exemption Proof of ownership Application for a VIN A special form for homemade trailers You will usually apply in person in the US, Australia, and Canada. Make copies before bringing them to the DMV or transport office. Check with your local office to see what you need to bring with you. In general, you may need:  Your driver’s license The weight slip of the trailer Bills of materials used to make the trailer The notarized description of the trailer Proof of car and trailer insurance Completed applications and forms A proof of address, including a driver’s license, payroll stub, utility bill, or voter registration card Fill out form IVA1t with a Declaration of Amateur Built. Scan and upload the necessary documents to the Technical Application System on this website: https://www.gov.uk/apply-vehicle-approval. Fees can vary widely between different areas. You may need to pay for the VIN plate, title, registration, and taxes. Some areas may have special fees applicable only to homemade trailers. You can usually pay by credit or debit card.  Typically, trailer registration fees are between $20-40 USD. Plate fees may be anywhere from $20-200. These fees can vary based on the weight of the trailer and the state of registration. Once you have submitted your application, it may take between 2-4 weeks for you to receive your documents in the mail. If you were given temporary documents, you can usually use your trailer, as long as you carry the documents with you. Once you receive your plate, screw it onto the back of your trailer.

TL;DR in English: Fill out the proper forms required by your local government. Take the application and other necessary documents to apply in person. Submit copies of your documents online to the DVLA in the UK. Pay the registration fees. Wait for your plate and title in the mail.

Avoid keeping a long list of tasks that keeps getting longer. Instead, integrate your to-do list into your daily schedule. When you learn of a new task, break it into parts and write each part down under the date that you will do it. Make sure you note its deadline, in case you don't get to it on time.  You might want to keep a schedule of daily tasks and a to-do list of running projects, but consider keeping a weekly to-do and a monthly to-do instead of one long list. Keeping a list of unscheduled tasks leads will cause you to burn out on your projects before you even do them. Start your day by tackling the most important item on your agenda. Schedule the first order of business to be the one thing you absolutely must accomplish that day. That way, if you are interrupted later, you will have at least done the most important thing. Anything that is due or is especially important is a good candidate for a first task. Schedule every part of each task, including emails you have to send, planning you have to do, and items you need to get. Otherwise you might waste time sitting down to accomplish something only to realize you are missing essential ingredients. Before you start each task, spend a few minutes thinking about what you want your end result to be. This will help you be more directed and focused. Write your goals for each day or each task down in your planner, or simply sit and think. If you are working with someone, state your goals aloud. Devote each block to one task. Multitasking is less efficient as a rule. Focus on one project, even if that project has diverse parts, during each block. Scheduling time off sounds counterintuitive, but it will help. Do not plan on overworking yourself. Working through exhaustion and bodily needs should only happen in emergencies. Schedule short breaks every 45 minutes to an hour, as this is as long as most people can focus.  Take time away from your desk or computer. Schedule time with loved ones, time to prepare meals, and time to be alone. If you are prone to...

TL;DR in English: Keep a prioritized schedule. Start with the biggest tasks. Break every task down. Consider before you act. Break your days into blocks. Give yourself time off.

Be sure that you communicate with your customers what happens after they place their orders, when and how their payments will be processed, when their orders will arrive, and how they will ultimately receive their orders.  Do everything within your power to meet expected deadlines, but communicate clearly and concisely about unexpected delays. With affiliate marketing, you may not have any responsibility for payments or orders, but you should be familiar with the systems in place with the product you are marketing in order to know what you are giving your “stamp of approval” to; if a customer has a bad experience with a vendor you plug, he may no longer trust your recommendations. One of the most important ways you can keep buyers happy is to communicate with them clearly.  Have a system in place (such as email notifications) for informing customers about any changes in the “status” of their orders.  For example, you may want to notify customers of the following status changes: “payment processed,” “order placed,” “order shipped,” and “order ready for pickup.” If there is ever a problem with a product or order, it is usually best to offer an immediate refund or replacement.  Keeping customers happy, keeping your seller ratings high, and encouraging repeat business should be your biggest concern as a seller. Once you have established a sales relationship with a core group of buyers, ask them to refer you to others.  You may want to have one or two people write testimonials for you and the products you represent to feature in your website or print materials.  You can also ask people to host informal get-togethers with their friends to market your products. MLM companies are set up so that if you recruit other sellers, you get paid a percentage of their sales as well as your own.  If your product or organization works that way, you may want to invite some of your trusted regular customers to also become sellers. Always act professional when you are selling or advertising your product, even while pitching it to...

Because wild ginseng is so valuable, poachers are common in regions where it is grown. Fencing off the area won't deter someone who knows the ginseng is there, but it may prevent people from discovering the site. A loud dog may be an excellent thief deterrent. Ginseng that grows too close together may spread disease between plants or compete with each other for nutrients. Consider removing or transplanting plants after the first growing season to get down to 6 plants per square foot (65 per square meter), and again after the second year of growth down to 1 or 2 plants per square foot (11 to 22 per square meter). You may also plant ginseng in other areas each year during the fall to develop an ongoing harvest. Many growers do this so they have mature ginseng to harvest each year after the first batch matures. One major advantage to the wild-simulated method is a reduced risk of pest and disease, due to the wider spacing. While a few plants or berries may be eaten occasionally, you are unlikely to lose many of the valuable roots, and diseases shouldn't spread between plants at a high rate. If you do encounter a problem, contact your local wildlife department for information about ginseng pesticides. Keep in mind that you may lose your organic certification or your credibility in selling wild-simulated ginseng if you use pesticides. You'll need to wait about 7 to 10 years for your plants to mature into large, valuable roots, but with the right site and a little luck. Growing ginseng with the wild-simulated method requires a lot of patience, but almost no maintenance. Check periodically to see if the ground remains moist and covered with a small amount of leaf litter. If your ginseng is planted densely, harvest after 4 years or the roots might begin to dwindle These roots will not be as valuable, however. The part of the ginseng plants above the surface will die back in the autumn, but grow again in the spring. It will grow bigger each time, and all the while, the root below will be growing larger. Once the...

TL;DR in English: Keep the location secret and secure. Thin densely growing ginseng each year. Research carefully before using pesticides and pest poison. Wait for the plants to mature. Don't expect the plants to stay visible year round. Harvest red berries annually after the third year. Harvest mature plants at any point past the seventh year. Dig carefully so as not to damage the root. Wash and dry the roots.

Quarantining your new fish will ensure they are healthy and will not introduce disease or illness into your existing tank. The quarantine tank should be at least 5 to 10 gallons, with a sponge filter that has been in a tank with fish. This will ensure the filter contains good bacteria to populate the tank. The tank should also have a heater, an aquarium light, and a cover. If you are an avid aquarium owner, you may already have a quarantine tank set up. You should keep the quarantine tank clean and prepare it before you buy new fish for your regular tank. Once you get your quarantine tank set up, you can introduce your new fish to the tank through acclimatization.  Start by placing the unopened plastic bag in the tank for 15-20 minutes. This will give the fish time to start getting used to the water in the quarantine tank. After 15-20 minutes, open the bag and use a clean cup to scoop an equal amount of water from the tank into the plastic bag. There should be 50% tank water and 50% pet store water in the bag. Avoid mixing water from the bag with the tank water as this could contaminate the tank water. Allow the bag to float in the tank for another 15-20 minutes. You can close the edge of the bag to keep in from spilling out. After 15-20 minutes, use a net to gently scoop out the fish and place them in the quarantine tank. You should observe the fish every day in the quarantine tank to ensure they are not carrying any disease or parasites. After two to three weeks in the quarantine tank with no issues, the fish is ready to be introduced to the main tank. Doing a water change will allow your new fish to get used to the nitrates in the water and avoid stressing out your new fish. This is an especially important step if you do not do regular water changes of your main tank water. To do a 25 to 30 percent water change, remove 25 to 30 percent of the tank water and replace it with dechlorinated water. Then, cycle through the water several times with your filter to ensure the nitrate balance in the tank water is...

TL;DR in English: Set up a quarantine tank. Place the new fish in the quarantine tank for two to three weeks. Do a 25 to 30 percent water change. Feed any fish in the main tank. Rearrange the accessories in the tank. Acclimatize the new fish to the main tank water. Introduce the new fish into the main tank.

Before you start writing, take a few moments to write down the work experience you've gained in your career that's relevant to the position you're applying for as well as any skills you have that make you an attractive candidate. Don't waste time with skills or experiences that aren't relevant to the position — you're trying to show why you're a good choice for this job specifically, not any random job. For instance, let's say that you're applying for a government job in an IT position. If you have past experience in computer/technology-related positions, you'll definitely want to include this. You probably won't want to include unrelated work, like the summer's worth of experience we got from working on a fishing barge. In addition, you'll want to include any proprietary skills we have that might aid in our job, like knowledge of basic programming languages. Most sources agree that EOIs should be as clear and concise as possible. To make the task of keeping your EOI brief easier, it can be useful to boil the point of your EOI down to a single sentence (as you might do for your thesis statement when writing an essay for school). Since it can seem a little blunt or mercenary to simply write, "I want this letter to get me a job," try to focus on what the job means to personally and professionally and how you can excel in the position. For instance, in our IT position example, you might whittle your EOI's purpose down to something like the following: "The purpose of this letter is to demonstrate how I can use my unique skills and experience in a high-demand IT role." You probably wouldn't want to be so cavalier as to say, "The purpose of this letter is to show that I'm the best and that I should get the job." Theoretically, someone applying for a job opening may have many other choices. Just as your EOI should tell your employer why you are a good fit for the job, it should also tell why the job is a good fit for you, What about this job makes it more appealing than other ones? How does it match up with your...

TL;DR in English: Take stock of your past skills and experiences. Give your EOI a main "point" or focus. Determine exactly why you want this job. Explain why you are a better choice than other applicants.

Allow of the sadness, upset, and misery inside you to release. Some people find that they benefit from crying. This is because crying is a physical outlet that allows you to move through emotion. It can also relax you. Research suggests that a stress hormone is released through tears. After you have finished crying, lie back on your bed and think through what has happened. If reflection makes you upset, let yourself cry again. No one can see you, so don’t be embarrassed. Just let yourself emotionally release. Go to a quiet place where you can sit with your thoughts. Describe your feelings, what's been happening, and how upset you are in as much detail as you can. Be sure to include how you feel physically. These can help you understand the underlying feelings of sadness. You might want to try writing a letter to your pain if you're having trouble simply writing your feelings.  If you've let your feelings out and are still sad, there is a good reason. You could still need to process a situational or internal conflict. Journaling can help you clarify your thoughts and feelings.  Be specific about events and feelings, and don't be afraid of sounding irrational or selfish; you can always write about it again when you've calmed down and have a better understanding of the situation. Current research suggests that dancing can improve mental health symptoms such as sadness, fatigue, anxiety, and their physical symptoms. Dance can be formal at a studio or just moving to music in your house. Research also shows that listening to sad music might help when you feel sad. Sad music provides a connection to the feelings which gives you an outlet for processing them. If you are not ready to deal with your feelings, music can provide a distraction till you're ready to confront your sadness. Doing something artistic is a way to be creative and express your sadness with color, form, shape, and sometimes texture. Art lets you release your sadness without words.

You’d be amazed by how dirty your bathtub can get, for a place where you go to get clean! Since you’re taking a sitz bath to promote healing to injured tissue, you want to be extra sure that the environment is sterile.  Use a bleach-based cleaning product to sterilize the bathtub before drawing your sitz bath. Scrub the tub thoroughly to make sure you’ve removed all the soaps and other bath products that have accumulated on the surface. Rinse the tub thoroughly to remove both the soaps and the cleaning products. It’s very important that the water you use in your sitz bath is warm, but not scalding hot. The temperature should not cause any discomfort that could cause irritation or inflammation. Warm water, though, will increase blood flow to the injured tissue, speeding up the body’s healing process in that area. Dip your finger into the water, or place a drop or two on the sensitive skin on your wrist to test the temperature. Make sure that the bathtub is plugged so the water doesn’t drain out, then run the water until there’s enough water in the tub to fully immerse the area that’s giving you trouble. You don’t need to add anything to the water, as the warm temperature alone will make you feel better. However, there are many things you can add to your bath to treat different problems. Ask your doctor for a recommendation on what to add to your bath.  Salt is a good general additive for any sitz bath, regardless of the reason. Bring the water up to a temperature warmer than you’re comfortable with, and add ¼ cup of salt to it. Mix thoroughly so the salt dissolves throughout the water, then let the water cool to a milder temperature. If you have a vaginal infection, add 1/2 cup of table vinegar to the salt water solution. An herbal solution is good for treating hemorrhoids, as well as damage from tissue trauma like giving birth. Mix 1/2 cup of Epsom salt, two tablespoons of baking soda, 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of witch hazel, 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of olive oil, 8 drops of lavender essential oil, and 8 drops...

TL;DR in English: Clean the bathtub. Set your water temperature. Fill the bathtub with 3–4 inches (7.6–10 cm) of water. Mix soothing additives to the water if you wish. Soak in the sitz bath. Pat yourself dry when finished.

Wearing shoes inside someone’s residence is not acceptable. It is customary to provide guests with slippers when they enter a home so it is unlikely you will have to walk barefoot or in socks. Some hotels, restaurants and other public establishments also require the removal of shoes. A good rule of thumb is to remove your shoes if you see tatami, woven bamboo floor mats, on the ground. In Japanese culture, gift-giving is very common and it is considered a necessary act of humility to politely refuse a gift the first time it is offered to you. Japanese people will expect this and will continue to offer, at which point you can accept it.  A good way to respond the first time is “I am humbled by your generosity but I should not accept.” Do not open the gift in the presence of the giver unless they specifically ask you to. When offering a gift, show humility by saying “I would like to offer this small token” to avoid the appearance of bragging about your wealth or generosity. Receive the gift with both hands out, not just one. Punctuality is extremely important in Japanese culture so showing up late to a meeting or event may indicate that you don’t respect the time of your companions. If you are late, offer a contrite apology.

TL;DR in English: Remove your shoes before entering a residence. Learn gift-giving conventions. Show up on time.

When answering problems about mass calculations, you need to read the full problem carefully. As you read, it may help to highlight the given data. Read the whole problem carefully to see what you are being asked to solve. For example, consider the following problem: A large sphere made of solid brass has a diameter of 1.2 m. Find the mass of the sphere. Reading the problem carefully, you should identify that you are given the diameter, so you will use the adjusted formula:  Volume=43π(d2)3{\displaystyle {\text{Volume}}={\frac {4}{3}}\pi ({\frac {d}{2}})^{3}} You should also notice that the sphere is made of brass. You will need to look up the density of brass from a density table online. From the website, EngineeringToolbox.com, you can find that the density of brass is 8480 kg/m3. Because the diameter of the sphere was given in meters, its volume will be calculated in cubic meters, so you do not need to convert the density. To calculate the volume, set up the correct formula, fill in the data you know and perform the calculations as follows:  Volume=43π(d2)3{\displaystyle {\text{Volume}}={\frac {4}{3}}\pi ({\frac {d}{2}})^{3}} Volume=43π(1.22)3{\displaystyle {\text{Volume}}={\frac {4}{3}}\pi ({\frac {1.2}{2}})^{3}} Volume=4.18667∗0.63{\displaystyle {\text{Volume}}=4.18667*0.6^{3}} Volume=4.18667∗0.216{\displaystyle {\text{Volume}}=4.18667*0.216} Volume=0.90432 m3{\displaystyle {\text{Volume}}=0.90432{\text{ m}}^{3}} Recall that Mass=Density∗Volume{\displaystyle {\text{Mass}}={\text{Density}}*{\text{Volume}}}. Insert the values that you know to find the mass:  Mass=Density∗Volume{\displaystyle {\text{Mass}}={\text{Density}}*{\text{Volume}}} Mass=8480 kg m3∗0.90432 m3{\displaystyle {\text{Mass}}=8480{\frac {\text{ kg}}{{\text{ m}}^{3}}}*0.90432{\text{ m}}^{3}} Mass=7668.6 kg{\displaystyle {\text{Mass}}=7668.6{\text{ kg}}}

TL;DR in English: Read the problem carefully. Identify the known and unknown data. Calculate the volume. Use the density to calculate the mass.

If you have access to the Internet, then you can quickly find out whether or not there is a local warrant out for your arrest. Go to the city, county, state or federal website where you think you might have a warrant for arrest. Government websites are kept up-to-date, which makes them a reliable way to get information.  All federal government websites end in .gov, while those for states can end in either .gov or .us. Look for the "Legal" or "Health and Safety" sections to see if they offer a warrant search. Alternatively, try entering a phrase such as "arrest warrant" in the search bar on the website's home page. Some counties do not offer online warrant searches. In that case, look at the local sheriff or police department site for contact information. If you would like to speak to someone, you can call the court directly. You can call any court in the state that you believe the warrant may be in, because states maintain a warrant database that can be accessed from any state court. Do not identify yourself; instead, simply ask if there is an outstanding warrant for "Person X" (using your name here) in a criminal or civil case. Have the following information ready: the case number (if you know it), name, birth date, and Social Security number.  The court clerk of one circuit may not be able to give you information if you have an arrest warrant from a different circuit court. Keep in mind that for some cases such as family and juvenile delinquency cases, and domestic violence cases involving protective, peace, or restraining orders, you may not be able to find information through the court clerk. However, the clerk should still be able to tell you about an arrest warrant, even if he or she cannot give your specific information on the case itself. Criminal cases are mostly public record, so you should not have an issue getting information on these. However, some types of civil cases are not public record, such as family and juvenile delinquency cases, and domestic violence cases involving protective, peace, or...

An all-over hair color will completely fill in any white hairs, making it a good option if your hair is more than 40% grey.  You can opt for semi-permanent colors which last for a couple of weeks, or go for permanent colors which will stay until the hair grows out. If you're trying to match the hair dye to your natural color, it's probably a good idea to get your hair done professionally, as it's difficult to predict how home coloring kits will react with your hair. However, many people use the necessity of dyeing their hair as an opportunity to experiment with a new color. If you decide to dye your hair at home, avoid home coloring kits that contain ammonia, which can damage and dry out the hair. Be aware that going don this route will require a lot of maintenance, as you will need to reapply the color (or at least touch-up the roots) every time the hair grows out. Highlights are another option for covering up white hairs. Rather than coloring the whole head of hair, select strands are bleached or dyed in order to add texture and life to the hair.  Highlights can be very fine, adding subtle color and shine to to the hair, or they can be big and bold, adding variety and contrast. Highlights will need to done by a professional hair stylist and can be quite pricey. However, they tend to last a little longer than all-over hair dyes. Henna is a form of natural hair dye. It contains no chemicals and will actually condition the hair, leaving it shiny and moisturized.  Henna will produce a rich red color in your hair. The lighter your hair (or the more white hairs you have) the brighter the red color will be. Henna can be very messy - it comes in the form of a brick which needs to be melted down, or in a powder which needs to be mixed with lemon juice or tea or coffee. It has a mud-like texture and needs to sit in the hair for several hours while the color develops. One thing to be aware of is that chemical hair dyes cannot be applied to henna-treated hair, so make the decision to use henna on your hair with care,...

TL;DR in English: Go for an all-over color. Get highlights. Try henna. Experiment with more temporary solutions. Use natural hair rinses. Embrace the grey.

Wet the glasses under water. Dispense a small amount of dishwashing liquid into your hand, and use your finger to rub it on both sides of the lenses and all along the frame. Rinse the soap off completely. Give the glasses 5-10 minutes to air-dry, then use a soft towel to dry the frame. Wipe the both sides of the lenses down with a soft, lint-free cloth. Examine the glasses to make sure they are free from smudges. If either of the arms feel loose, use a tiny screwdriver to gently tighten the screws until they are just snug. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws, as this can actually damage the sunglasses. You can purchase an eye glasses repair kit for most pharmacies or online.

TL;DR in English: Apply dish soap to the lenses and frames. Air-dry and polish the glasses. Use a small screwdriver to tighten down the arms.

Lotions, creams, and blocks that protect from the sun work in different ways, but they are all designed to protect your skin from damage, and this will prevent your skin from getting dark in the sun.  Sunscreen filters the UV radiation that passes through to your skin. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen, which protects from UVA and UVB, with an SPF of at least 30. Sunscreen gels are good for hairy parts of your body, like your scalp. Sunblock creates a physical barrier between the sun and your skin. Look for broad-spectrum, an SPF of at least 30, and ingredients like octyl salicylate and methoxycinnamate, and octocrylene.  Apply sun-protective lotions about 30 minutes before going outdoors, and use at least an ounce of sunscreen at each application. Reapply after swimming, activities that caused you to sweat, or every two hours. Sunscreen or sunblock is only effective on the areas of the body you apply it to, and there are some areas that people often forget. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to your:  Nose Tips of your ears Scalp Lips Eyelids Most moisturizers, bronzers, foundations, and lipsticks these days are available with built-in sun-protection. For an extra layer of protection for your face, choose cosmetics that have an SPF rating of at least 15. Because you only apply makeup once in the morning, you can't rely on it for all your sun protection. Use SPF makeup in conjunction with your other sun precautions. You should still apply a base layer of sunscreen to your face before applying makeup. This still applies even if you don’t plan to go outside. Your skin is still exposed to UV rays inside, because UV passes directly through glass and windows in buildings and houses. Wearing sunscreen to be in the car is also important, because UV also passes through car windows. Most summer clothing doesn’t provide a measurable amount of sun protection, but there are clothes out there that are specifically designed to protect you from the sun.  Sun-protective clothing will have a UPF rating that measures how much...

TL;DR in English: Wear sunscreens and sun blocks. Apply sunscreen to commonly missed body parts. Wear makeup with an SPF. Wear sunscreen every day. Wear sun-protective clothing. Cover your face. Beware of reflected sunlight.

When the vodka, onion, and garlic mixture has cooked for a few minutes, it’s time to add the tomato puree to the sauce. Pour one can of puree, approximately 14 ounces (397 g), into the skillet, and stir until all of the contents are thoroughly combined. Reduce the burner’s heat to low. You can swap the tomato puree for a can of tomato sauce, but you’ll wind up with a slightly thinner sauce. When the tomato puree is completely mixed with the vodka, onion, and garlic, add 1 cup (240 mL) of heavy cream to the pan. Stir carefully to ensure that it’s fully incorporated into the sauce. Instead of the bright red of the tomato puree, the sauce will now have a creamy light orange color.  Make sure that your burner it turned to low. You can burn the sauce very easily at this point. The sauce requires heavy cream to give it the right consistency. Avoid replacing it with whole milk or half-and-half if possible. When the cream has been completely stirred into the pan, it’s time to season the sauce. Mix in ¼ to ½ (1.25 to 2.5 g) teaspoon of salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes too to give the sauce a little heat. Use as much or as little crushed red pepper as you like. If you aren’t a fan of spicy foods, you can omit it entirely.

TL;DR in English: Stir the tomato puree into the pan. Mix the cream into the sauce. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Each German-speaking country has its own particular greetings. Yet no matter where you are, the following standard greetings will work.  "Guten Tag" (goo-tehn tahg), “Good day.” Use this as a general way of saying “hello” during daytime hours. "Guten Morgen" (goo-tehn mor-gen), "Good Morning." "Guten Abend" (Goo-tehn Ah-bend), "Good evening." "Gute Nacht" (goo-teh nah-cht), "Good night” (usually said to close family only, when going to bed). "Hallo" (hah-low), “hello.” This is basically used anytime, anywhere. In Austria greetings such as "Servus" or "Grüß Gott" "Greet god" are common. There are two easy ways to say “My name is…” in German:  "Ich heiße [insert Name]" (“ich hi-seh [Name],” literally “I am called…”) “Mein Name ist [insert Name]” (“mine nam-eh ist [Name],” literally “my name is…”). For example, say either “Ich heiße Andreas” or “Mein Name ist Andreas” to mean “My name is Andreas.” In German, as in many languages, you will often need to differentiate between acquaintances and strangers (formal) and people you know well (informal) when speaking.  To ask someone’s name, for example:  "Wie heißen Sie?" (vee hi-sehn zee), “What is your name?” (formal) "Wie heißt du?" (vee heist du), “What is your name?” (informal) As with greetings, goodbyes may vary somewhat depending on where you are or who you are speaking to. Generally, however, you can’t go wrong with these:  "Auf Wiedersehen" or (owf vee-dair-zayn), "Good-bye!" "Tschüss!" (choos), "Bye!" “Ciao!" (chow), "Bye!"  This Italian phrase is often used by German speakers (mainly children) to say goodbye.

Most auction companies are independent ventures -- people like you have started out as auctioneers and then opened up their own business. However, there are some "houses" that are chains and are quite huge. Just like any employer, some are better than others, but you'll never know until you try. Try to find an auction company that specializes in your area (agriculture, antiques, etc.) and is willing to work with you and your schedule. Do they provide mentorship? What do they charge overhead? Will you be an employee or a contractor? These are things to consider when looking for employment. Auctioneers are often sought due to their expertise in certain areas. You'll need to be able to look at an item and roughly tell what condition it's in and what factors matter about it. If you overlook a scratch, you could be starting way too high. Here are the most common subtopics of auctioneering:  Learn about livestock and agriculture. Many auctions sell livestock and agricultural equipment. Acquire knowledge about antiques. Auctions regularly include antique items, and it helps to know information about eras of history and historical items. Auction off vehicles as an expert. Learn about makes, models, years, engines and unique trivia about vehicles. Some states, like Tennessee again, have a specific license for public automobile auctioneers. You will be held highly responsible for the turnout at your auctions. In order to get bidders in the first place, you'll need to market your auctions with the right media at the right places and times and to the right people. If the auction happens and the products don't walk, your client will not be happy. It's important to know your audience here. If you have an estate auction that is mostly Elvis memorabilia and thousands of vinyl records, that's totally different than an estate sale that's all 19th century modern art and fine china. The expanse of your network will be very, very important here. If you live in an area with a small population, you're obviously going to get more...

Powdered formulas cost less than pre-mixed or liquid options. They also have a longer shelf-life, so you’re less likely to end up throwing them away before you use them up. If possible, stick to powdered formulas that you can mix yourself.You can usually save money by buying a big can instead of a smaller one. Once you know what kind of formula works best for your baby, buy it in bulk to get a better deal. Discount and big-box stores such as Walmart, Costco, and Target often sell formula at lower prices than other retailers. Check stores like these to see what kinds of deals you can find. You may also be able to get better prices by ordering from online retailers. Do an online search for the product you’re interested in so you can compare prices for the same formula at several different stores. In addition to offering free samples, many formula companies offer coupons and discounts to loyal customers. Visit your favorite formula brand’s website and see if you can join a rewards club or mailing list to get deals.You might also be able to get discounts through a store membership. For instance, many drug stores offer reduced prices or special deals to customers who have membership cards.

TL;DR in English: Buy powdered formula to get more product for your money. Get formula from discount stores for better deals. Sign up for discounts from formula companies for special deals.

As you begin changing your perspectives, acknowledge that you alone choose them and how they develop. Doing this will help you more actively take the steps to change your perspective.  Knowing that you have the power to form your own perspectives can be very freeing and may provide you a great deal of comfort to go forward in life.  For example, if you have a tendency to be negative, you can actively take steps such as only seeing the positive and letting go of negativity and negative influences to help change your perspective into a positive one. Part of reformulating any perspective is educating yourself through the consideration of a wide variety of sources and opinions. Without knowledge, you can’t grow or develop, and educating yourself broadly will help you to most effectively reformulate your perspectives. You can use a variety of sources to educate yourself. Taking classes, reading, traveling, or even just talking to another person can provide you with new information that will help you change your perspectives. Continue your education and training throughout life by taking classes, attending lectures, or getting additional professional training. Developing your intellectual skills will help expose you to different perspectives and may help you change yours.  You can attend classes, lectures, seminars, or other continuing education programs in person, or you can take them online. Many universities now post classes or lectures online for the general public. Look online for free or cheap lectures and tutorials from websites like Udemy or Khan Academy. Training and the type of development that comes from practical experience can also be very valuable to changing your perspective. Reading a variety of publications will expose you to different opinions and perspectives. This can help you reformulate your own perspectives.  Make sure you consult different kinds of media such as newspapers, magazines, websites, and books. Make sure that the sources you read come from a variety of perspectives. For example,...

TL;DR in English: Acknowledge that you choose your own perspectives. Educate yourself. Take classes or participate in continuing education activities. Read a wide variety of media and sources.

Protein is important for building muscle, but it’s important to avoid eating too much. You only need about 10 to 35% of your total daily calories to come from protein. Have a serving of a protein-rich food with each meal and you will get plenty. Some good choices include:  1/2 cup (120 g) of low-fat cottage cheese 3 oz (85 g) of skinless chicken breast, fish, lean beef, or ground turkey 1/2 cup (120 g) of beans or lentils 3 oz (85 g) of tofu 1 cup (240 g) of cooked quinoa 8  fl oz (240 mL) of low-fat milk Carbohydrates are essential for fueling your body during your workouts, so make sure that you eat 1 to 2 servings of carbohydrates with each meal. You can get carbohydrates from a variety of foods including whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Some good choices include:  Whole grain breads and cereals Brown rice Whole wheat pasta Oatmeal Sweet potatoes Fruits, such as apples, bananas, oranges, and melons You don’t need a lot of fat in your diet and too much fat can be bad for you. However, eating about 20 to 35% of your calories from fat is a reasonable amount that may help to fuel your strength-training workouts. Opt for healthy, unsaturated fats instead of saturated and trans fats. Some good options include:  Olive oil Canola oil Nuts, seeds, and nut butters Avocados Fatty fish, such as salmon and mackerel You may need to increase your daily caloric intake to gain weight if you’re underweight, or cut calories to lose weight if you’re overweight or obese. Being very thin means you won’t have as much body fat all over, so your butt is more likely to look flat. But being overweight means you’re more likely to have excess fat around your middle, which can make your butt look small by comparison. Talk with your doctor to determine if you might benefit from losing or gaining weight. Don’t try to lose or gain weight to affect the size of your butt if you’re at a healthy weight.

TL;DR in English: Incorporate 3 daily servings of protein-rich food in your diet. Ensure that 50% of your calories come from carbohydrates each day. Eat healthy fats in moderation to provide fuel for your workouts. Adjust your caloric intake to lose weight or gain weight if needed.

The cleanser should be alcohol-free and gentle. Though many products on the market offer miraculous results, they are often just hype. Look for cleaners that have simple ingredients that won't damage your skin. If your skin is dry, look for a product that has low pH numbers (4 or 5), and if your skin is oily or acne-prone, choose a cleanser that has a high pH number (6 or 7). This will help even out your skin's ability to fight off bacteria. Use a small circular motion, start at your neck, and rotate toward your nose or counterclockwise. Don't forget your forehead and the spots in front of your ears.

If you are familiar to at-home spa treatments, you may already have some of the necessary supplies on hand. Check your cupboards for epsom salts, nail clippers, an emery board, a cuticle pusher, a file (or pumice stone), cuticle cream, toe separators, nail polish remover and nail polish. Although not all of these tools are absolutely required, having all of them will result in a salon-finish at-home pedicure, rather than an amateur one. If you are lacking any of the above ingredients, visit your local beauty supply store and pick them up. Talk with the store clerks and ask which tools are best for at-home use versus salon use.  Some manicure and pedicure kits are designed for professionals, and will contain tools you will likely not use. Purchase the basic needs for your at-home pedicure, leaving salon-grade tools to the professionals. Do not assume cheaper means better; although you do not need a set of professional pedicure set, you do not want a set that is flimsy, either. Test the strength of the tools, and make sure the metal is thick enough to resist bending. Purchase a clean bucket, if necessary, and some epsom salts for soaking your feet. Although you can use many things in the place of epsom salts, such as magnesium and specialized foot soaks, epsom salts are inexpensive, relaxing, and effective. Ideally, use a bucket that can house both of your feet simultaneously. Although you can soak one foot at a time, soaking both feet at the same time will be more comfortable and will make the process go by more quickly. Before you begin your pedicure, lay down a towel or two to catch any stray water, and to dry off your feet after your soak. Have an extra hand towel and old rag at the ready in case of spills or polish mishaps.  If possible, do your pedicure on a hard surface, such as tile or linoleum, as these are water-resistant. If you are working on carpet or wood, clean up any spills quickly. Choose towels you don't mind getting dirty or worn down. Although you will want to avoid a spill of any of your...

Your back should be pressed against the backrest, and your bottom should be as far back in your seat as possible. Avoid driving with your body scorched forward; if you can’t reach the pedals or steering wheel, adjust your seat, not your body. Imagine the steering wheel is the face of a clock. Place your left hand where 9 o’clock would be on the clock. Place your right hand where 3 o’clock would be on the clock. Maintaining this grip will give you the most control over the wheel. Always drive with both hands on the wheel. Driving with one hand twists your spine, which can lead to back pain. If you’re driving a manual car, only move your left foot when you’re using the clutch. If you’re driving an automatic, you should never move your left foot from the footrest. Keeping your left foot flat on the footrest will help support your back and pelvis while you’re driving. Don’t wear the strap that stretches across your lap over your stomach. In case of an accident, you want the strap to catch onto your pelvic bone, not your stomach.

TL;DR in English: Sit with your body all the way back in your seat. Hold the steering wheel at a “9 and 3” position. Keep your left foot on the footrest when you’re not using it. Wear your seat belt so the strap goes across your pelvis.

It's easy to have one notebook for many purposes, but when it comes to your dreams, it's best to devote a single book to it. Mostly, the reasoning is that if you have one notebook for dreams, you won't be tempted to pick it up and move it somewhere else. Pick something that you really like, that inspires your creativity, as it can also inspire your dreams.  Recording your dreams helps you remember more dreams, making it seem like you are dreaming more.  In fact, some theories suggest that your brain doesn't store all of its dreams to memory simply because so many dreams would cause you to have trouble distinguishing reality from dreams. Other theories suggest that your brain stores the memory of the dream, but they are not readily accessible to memory. Most people forget many of their dreams because they keep on sleeping. That is, you have to wake up to remember your dream, so you likely will only remember your dreams near the times you are awake, such as in the morning. However, you may not even remember those because you move on with your day too quickly. Have a notebook right beside your bed so it is available when you wake up. You'll want it to be instantly on hand the moment you open your eyes, as dreams are fleeting. When you wake up, don't move. Take just a moment to think about what you were dreaming. Once you have a clear image of your dream in your mind, move on to the next step. It may be tempting to run to the bathroom first before writing about your dream, but by then, your dream may be gone. Start jotting down the main images of your dreams as soon as you open your eyes, and reach for your pen and notebook.  Include the main details, such as who was in it, what major things you saw, and what the main action was.

For all bills except $1 and $2 dollar bills, there should be a security thread (plastic strip) running from top to bottom.  The thread is embedded in (not printed on) the paper and runs vertically through the clear field to the left of the Federal Reserve Seal.  On authentic bills, this should be easily visible against a light source. The printing should say "USA" followed by the denomination of the bill, which is spelled out for $10 and $20 bills but presented in numerals on the $5, $50 and $100 bills.  These threads are placed in different places on each denomination to prevent lower-denomination bills being bleached and reprinted as higher denominations. You should be able to read the inscriptions from both the front or back of the note.  Also, it should only be visible against a light source. Plastic strips in high-denomination bills should glow a specific color.  The $5 dollar bill should glow blue; the $10 bill should glow orange; the $20 bill should glow green; the $50 bill should glow yellow; the $100 bill should glow pink. If your bill remains white under a black light, it is likely a counterfeit. Use natural light to see if your bill bears an image of the person whose portrait is on the bill.  Hold the bill up to a light to check for a watermark.  A watermark bearing the image of the person whose portrait is on the bill can be found on all $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills series 1996 and later, and on $5 bills series 1999 and later. The watermark is embedded in the paper to the right of the portrait and should be visible from both sides of the bill. Color shifting ink is ink that appears to change color when the bill is tilted.  Color-shifting ink can be found on $100, $50 and $20 dollar bills series 1996 and later, and on $10 dollar bills series 1999 and later. $5 and lower bills do not yet have this feature.  The color originally appeared to change from green to black, but it goes from copper to green in recent redesigns of the bills. This includes small words or numbers that are hardly visible to...

Play the same note (you can start with all finger holes open) as another fife player or an electronic or online tuner to get the right pitch. Roll the instrument in toward your mouth if your note is too sharp. Roll it out if it is too flat.  Experiment rolling slowly in and out on the same note to hear how it changes in pitch. The pitch doesn’t matter so much if you’re just playing by yourself, but you’ll need to tune anytime you start playing with another fife or instrument. Make a C sharp note by simply keeping all of the finger holes open and applying steady breath into the instrument. Roll the fife slightly in or out to see if it sounds sharp or flat compared to another player or a tuner.  Try a middle C# by using the same fingering but blowing harder. Tighten your lips to push a harder stream of air from your mouth. This is generally how to achieve a note in a higher octave. Remember that these notes are for a standard fife, which has 6 holes and is in a Bb key. Look up notes and tuning for your specific instrument if it is in a different key or style. Play a D note by covering every finger hole and blowing an even, steady breath into the blow hole. Use this note to tune with another player or a tuner by rolling the fife further in or out from your mouth to change the pitch.  Try to hold your fingers firmly over each hole, closing it completely to prevent air from getting through. Keep this in mind for every note you learn how to play. Remember that these notes are for a standard fife, which has 6 holes and is in a Bb key. Look up notes and tuning for your specific instrument if it is in a different key or style. Learn the proper fingering for nearly any note on the fife with a simple fingering chart. You may want to learn the basics of understanding musical notes, but you don’t have to.  The typical complete fingering chart for a standard fife ranges from a low F (all but the second to last hole covered) to a high B (the first, third, and fifth hole covered).  Experiment with playing every note you can....

TL;DR in English: Tune the instrument first. Try a low C#. Try a low D. Follow a fingering chart for the fife.

Scientists argue that physical activity helps people to cope with stress, mild depression and anxiety by causing chemical changes in the brain which can help to positively alter mood. Taking regular exercise can also improve wellbeing by raising self-esteem and self-control.  Adults should try to include 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise a week into their schedule.  After a long day of work, just a short walk can help you to feel better and put the stress of the day behind you. Be creative about the activity you do. You don’t have to just run around in circles or swim laps. Often getting involved in team sports can be a more fun way to exercise. As well as getting regular exercise you should also make sure you give yourself the chance to do other things you enjoy. For example, this could be going to the movies, going for a coffee with a friend, or playing with your dog. Doing fun activities will take you away from stressful environments and allow you to let your hair down for a while.  If you can achieve a good balance in your lifestyle you could find your stress levels dropping. Having a good work-life balance is very important for lowering your stress and achieving your best. Neglecting friendships will only make you more stressed in the long-term. As well as doing the activities that you enjoy, be on the look-out for new potential hobbies and activities. Yoga is a great option that combines physical activity, relaxation techniques, and a quiet and peaceful environment. It has been shown to work well in the reduction of stress and anxiety in scientific experiments.  There are a wide-range of possibilities to suit all ages and all fitness conditions, so don’t think it is only for the young and athletic.  Look up a course near you and speak to the instructor about the different options before signing up.

TL;DR in English: Enjoy regular exercise. Make time to do the things you like. Take up yoga.

In order to calculate the list price, or the original price, of an item on sale, you need to know what the sale price is, and what the discount percent is. For example, you might know that a sweater is on sale for $51.75 after a 25% discount. Remember that percents are hundredths, so to convert, either divide the percent by 100, or simply place a decimal after the number and move it two places to the left. For example, 25% expressed as a decimal is .25. Use the formula S=P−PD{\displaystyle S=P-PD}, where S{\displaystyle S} equals the sale price of the item, P{\displaystyle P} equals the original price of the item, and D{\displaystyle D} equals the discount percent of the item. Make sure you substitute for the variable S{\displaystyle S}. For example, if the sales price is $51.75, your formula will look like this: 51.75=P−PD{\displaystyle 51.75=P-PD}. Make sure you use the decimal form of the discount, and substitute for the variable D{\displaystyle D}. For example, if the item is 25% off, your formula will look like this: 51.75=P−P(.25){\displaystyle 51.75=P-P(.25)}. To do this, pull out the variable P{\displaystyle P}. For example:51.75=P−P(.25){\displaystyle 51.75=P-P(.25)}51.75=P(1−.25){\displaystyle 51.75=P(1-.25)} This will give you the percent of the item’s original price that the sales price represents. For example, 1−.25=.75{\displaystyle 1-.25=.75}. So, if an item is 25% off, you would only pay 75% of the original price to purchase the item on sale. Your formula will look like this: 51.75=P(.75){\displaystyle 51.75=P(.75)}. This will give you the value of P{\displaystyle P}, the list price of the item. For example:51.75=P(.75){\displaystyle 51.75=P(.75)}51.75.75=P(.75).75{\displaystyle {\frac {51.75}{.75}}={\frac {P(.75)}{.75}}}69=P{\displaystyle 69=P}So the original price of a sweater marked $51.75 after a 25% discount is $69.00.

TL;DR in English: Assess what information you know. Convert the discount percent to a decimal. Set up an equation for finding the original price of a discounted item. Plug the sale price into the formula. Plug the discount percent into the formula. Use the distributive property to simplify the formula. Complete the calculation in parentheses. Divide each side of the equation by the percent of the original price.

Press Ctrl + Alt + T on your keyboard to open a Terminal window. Alternatively, you can go to "Applications" and select "Accessories." From this folder, locate "Terminal" and double-click to open up the Terminal window. Note that the Secure-Delete package of tools is available for Ubuntu and several other distributions of Linux, but may not be available for all Linux-based platforms. Within the Terminal, type apt-get install secure-delete. Hit ↵ Enter to instruct the Terminal to install the package. This package comes with four different commands.  The one you need for the purpose of permanently deleting files from your computer is srm or "secure remove." Other options include smem (secure memory wiper) which wipes traces of data from the computer's memory, sfill (secure free space wiper) which wipes all traces of data from the free space on your disk, and sswap (secure swap wiper) which wipes all traces of data from your swap partition. To delete a file using the secure remove command, type srm myfile.txt in the Terminal. Replace myfile.txt with the actual name of your file. This will delete an entire directory rather than specific files. The package includes several other options:  Type 'smem in the Terminal. Type sfill mountpoint/ in the Terminal. Type cat /proc/swaps in the Terminal. After typing your command, hit ↵ Enter. The utility should run and permanently, securely delete the file or directory specified in your instructions. You should receive a confirmation message within the Terminal once the action is complete and the data is gone for good. (In Ubuntu or some other dist. of linux you may receive the message "Couldn't find a free filename for 'dir' " but the process will be complete and your directory will be removed/shredded).

Be confident. Don't present yourself with a bad attitude. Expect things to be different. Enjoy your day! Chill out when the day is over.

If your pain is severe, you are likely breathing rapidly and shallowly. In contrast,  controlled deep breathing (breathing from the diaphragm and exhaling from the chest) has been shown to harness the parasympathetic nervous system's “quieting response.”  Lay down in a quiet room. Turn off any distractions and reduce any exterior factors that may over-stimulate you. You may choose to close your eyes or focus them on a specific point.  Try to focus on nothing but inhalation and exhalation. If you can realize that you are in control of your body and take charge of your own breathing, you may be better able to prevent the pain from controlling you. Once you are breathing deeply, muscle relaxation may come naturally. Try to let go of all feeling in your body and remain focused only on breathing. Women practicing Lamaze breathing techniques in childbirth are utilizing the benefits of controlling breathing to lessen pain. If deep diaphragmatic breathing alone fails to provide you with relief, there are other options for calming tight muscles and the pain that accompanies them.  Progressive relaxation has been shown to be an effective form of muscle relaxation that requires no external stimuli. Begin with your toes, then work you way up through the muscles in the rest of the body until you reach your face. For each muscle, first slowly contract the muscle, then relax it, waiting until it is fully released before moving upward. When your mind alone fails to bring muscle relation, consider adding pressure point therapy. Research shows that finding pressure points associated with your specific type of pain and compressing them with your fingers reduces muscle tension, thereby alleviating pain. Be careful not to continue activating a pressure point if it seems to be worsening your pain when you remove your fingers, however.

TL;DR in English: Take a breath. Take the next step.

. If you always do your homework and get decent grades, what's your mom's excuse for saying no? Exactly, she doesn't have one. Do your best in school and in your extracurricular activities so that your mom sees how much you deserve the treat you want. . Take a bit off the load off your mom by helping her clean the house, do the dishes, mow the lawn, walk the dog, and all the other little things she does to keep the house running. If you're asking for something big, doing some extra chores doesn't hurt. Go above and beyond a few weeks before you pop the question. Being reliable is the key. If you deceive your mom and you're always late, she's not likely to give in when you want something. Do your best to get home when you say you will and be reliable in other ways. If you say you'll have your room clean by Saturday, have it done. If you say you'll feed the cat, do it without needing to be asked a second time. Your mom will notice how reliable you've been. a meal or bake a cake. Your mom will absolutely love it if you surprise her by taking over the kitchen and cooking something for her and the family. Get up early and cook some scrambled eggs and pancakes for breakfast, or use your free afternoon to bake up a cake or some cookies for everyone. It sounds weird but it really works.Just make sure you clean up afterward. . Ask her about her day. She probably asks you about yours, so why not reverse it and see what happens?

If you have no qualms about using bold color to make your lips look great, it's important to know how to choose the right shades to match your complexion. Every skin tone can be classified as warm, cool, or neutral. Learn more about your skin "temperature" to choose the right lipstick.  If your coloring looks best in earth tones, warm yellows and reds, and gold jewelry, your skin is warm. Choose lipstick with warm undertones, like browns, orange-reds, coral pinks, and creamy neutrals. If you tend to look best in jewel tones, navy blue, and silver jewelry, your skin is cool. Choose lipstick with cool undertones, like plums, cherry reds, lavender pinks, and pearly neutrals.

. If you've only got room for one knife in the kitchen, make it an all purpose knife. Good for chopping, slicing, and doing any number of other jobs, a good-quality utility kitchen knife is the most versatile tool you can have in the kitchen. Even if the rest of your tools are cheap and dull, a good kitchen knife will keep you cooking. There's no "best knife" or perfect knife for the kitchen. If you're in the market for a good set of knives, consider investing in a single good knife and other cheaper subsidiary knives. You can do most important cutting jobs in the kitchen with a basic kitchen knife, about 5 inches (12.7 cm) long, triangular, and made of stainless steel or other material. Chefs' knives are also sometimes just referred to as "kitchen knives" and are heavy-duty blades. For some cooks, a good chefs' knife is the only slicing tool necessary in the kitchen, useful for doing careful small slices into fruit, smashing bulbs of garlic, and chopping onions, not much use for stirring though! Kitchen knives can be made from ceramic, steel or polycarbonate blends in a variety of styles. Western-style kitchen knives tend to be broader and more chopping-oriented, while Japanese-style kitchen knives are sleeker and typically stronger steel. Paring knives are another extremely common kitchen implement, usually quite small and used for peeling and slicing, but won't usually be used for chopping or other major knife skills in the kitchen. Paring knives are good especially for fresh fruits, useful for cutting up an apple, pear, or stone fruits. Serrated knives are particularly useful for slicing bread. There's nothing more frustrating than baking a hefty loaf of soft brown bread and smashing it with a kitchen knife, trying to slice it. A serrated knife is also excellent for carving roasted meat joints and other items, making it a helpful addition to the kitchen.

TL;DR in English: Invest in an all-purpose kitchen utility knife Use a chef’s knife for chopping, mincing, and dicing. Use a paring knife for peeling fruits and vegetables. Use a bread knife for slicing.

Confidence is a likable trait. Having confidence will earn you a lot of friends. It also boosts your popularity.   A good way to become confident is by practicing. A good way to practice is by standing in front of a mirror. Look yourself in the eyes, read out a passage that motivates you. Relax and try to gesticulate as much as you can. If you do this enough, you will start to do it around other people too. Averting your eyes and not looking directly at the person is taken as shy and definitely not confident. Always have a smile on your face. If you act-up as if you're angry, you may give yourself a bad reputation to be overcoming and undoing for weeks/months, or all year (bringing unnecessary stress on yourself). For some, the first day of school may be a pain. Try to make it more enjoyable (or at least bearable)  by waking up an hour early and getting 8 to 10 hours of sleep. In the morning, shower (if you didn't the night before.) Do the usual class routines. Check your TV guide and see when your favorite show is on, have a snack and do your homework so you can watch your show. If it's on pretty soon, have a quick snack, set your recorder to record the show -- then do your homework. After that, call or text your friends and swap first day stories!   Make time to think about the day, what interested you and what could have been better. Write certain observations and develop a thought process for good and bad events in life.

There are a few things you'll need to clean your windows without streaks. In terms of cleaning solution, your best bets are water and dish soap, water and vinegar, or a professional window cleaner of your choice. The tools and equipment you'll need include:  Vinegar or a mineral deposit cleaner for stubborn stains Scraper or razor for stickers, tape, paint, and sap Vacuum Sponge or lint-free cloth Sharp rubber squeegee for drying A few clean, lint-free rags or cloths Large bucket To clean a window so it has no streaks, it’s important to start by removing everything from the surface of the glass, including built-up dirt, bird droppings, stickers, tape, paint, sap, and other stubborn marks.  Stubborn stains and grime can be removed with white vinegar or a mineral deposit cleaner. Either spray the stains with vinegar and let it sit for five minutes before wiping, or clean the area with a sponge that’s wet with the mineral cleaner. To remove tape, paint, and sticky messes, wet the area and use a scraper to remove the tape. Hold the scraper at a 45-degree angle to the glass, and press gently as you move forward underneath the tape. When you're cleaning your windows, your sponge can pick up dust and dirt from around the window and create streaks. To prevent this, you should vacuum or clean the sills, sashes, and frames before washing.  For inside windows, use a small brush attachment and vacuum all around the windows. For outside windows, use either a vacuum with a long hose attachment, a portable vacuum, or a pressure washer. Outdoor windows are frequently bombarded with dust, dirt, and debris from the outside world. The best way to prevent that dirt from leaving streaks on your clean windows is by removing as much of it as possible before you start cleaning. Use a hose outfitted with a spray nozzle and spray all the outdoor windows to remove dirt, grime, and other buildup. You can use any cleaning solution you prefer, even for streak-free windows. The technique and tools you use are more important than the...

TL;DR in English: Gather your cleaning supplies. Remove stubborn stains. Vacuum the windows. Hose off outside windows. Mix your cleaning solution. Scrub the windows. Wipe the windows dry. Clean up excess water. Keep your squeegee dry. Replace the cleaner as necessary.

Talk to any friends or acquaintances you have in common and ask them if they happen to know when the person’s birthday is. Even if they can’t tell you off the top of their head, they may offer to try and find out for you, which will keep you from having to ask the person yourself.  Try saying something like “I think Richard’s birthday is coming up soon. Would you happen to know what day it’s on?” If you’re planning on surprising the person, be sure to mention it to your connection. Otherwise, they might let the cat out of the bag accidentally. A coworker will likely have the information you’re looking for, especially if they’ve worked with the person for multiple years. If not, speak with your boss in private and request their help in finding out. They may be able to consult the company’s employee records on your behalf. You might also be able to discover a coworker’s birthday in the process of seeking permission to throw an office party for them. Try asking something like, “Would it be alright if we planned a small party for Naomi’s birthday? Do you know exactly what day it is?” If the person is a close friend, appeal to one of their relatives. It’s as simple as saying “I’m drawing a complete blank. When is John’s birthday again?” Chances are, they’ll be more than happy to jog your memory. You should only reach out to someone’s family members if you’ve known them personally and have had contact with them in the past. Otherwise, your harmless request may be perceived as an invasion of privacy.

TL;DR in English: Consult your mutual friends. Ask your boss or another coworker if you work with the person. Get help from the person’s family if you know them well enough.

If you want to protect your table, desk, or countertop from getting covered with glue, it's a good idea to put down a protective layer before you get started with your project. A craft mat is a great way to protect any work surface, but layers of newspaper will work if you don't have a mat. You could also tear a trash bag along 2 of the seams and lay it down if you don't have any newspaper or a craft mat. When it comes to decoupage, there’s no right or wrong. If you like a design, you can use it! You can choose several smaller pieces to put together, you can opt to lay down one larger sheet, or you can layer multiple pieces with a background—whatever works for you. Once you decide what you want to use, cut out the image to fit the glass.  If you’re decoupaging a curved piece of glass, remember to account for the curve when you’re deciding what size to cut your paper. Avoid using glossy images, like magazine pages. The coating on the paper can cause the image to bleed when you apply the glue. When you apply the wet decoupage glue to your paper, it will become fragile, and it may tear. If you only have 1 copy of your paper, a small tear could ruin your whole project. If you make a copy of the image, you can just start over if you make a mistake.  An image from a laser printer is less likely to bleed than one from an inkjet printer. Also, if you’re using vintage images, they may not accept glue well, so a laser copy will actually adhere to the glass better. If your only option is to use an inkjet printer, use low-moisture content glue.

TL;DR in English: Lay a craft mat or newspapers on your work surface to protect it. Choose and cut out your images. Make laser printer copies if you only have 1 copy of your artwork.

Once you click on return, eBay should give you return labels. You'll have a return shipping label, which will go on the outside of the package, as well as a return packing slip, which will go on the inside of the package. In some cases, you may need to wait on eBay to contact the seller. Usually, you'll only need to wait if the package is large or hard to ship. You may also need to wait if you need to send the package internationally. Repack the item to get it ready to ship, placing the packing slip inside. You can put it back in the same package if it is still suitable for shipping. You just need to make sure the old shipping label is fully covered up by the new shipping label. Don't forget to seal up the item with packing tape. You don't want the box to come undone in transit. Once you've repackaged it, all that's left to do is to mail it back. If your using the eBay mailing slip, you should be able to just hand it off to the carrier. Make sure to mail it back within 5 business days of printing the label. If you don't use eBay's shipping labels, such as if the seller sends you a return label, try to include tracking if possible. That way, if there's a dispute, you have some evidence of when the package was returned. When using an eBay shipping label, you'll get tracking information, so that you know when it reaches the seller. Once the seller has gotten the item, you should receive a refund within 6 business days. For a replacement item, the seller should mail it within 5 days of receiving the request, not the item.

TL;DR in English: Print out the return labels. Wait on the seller. Package up the item. Put it in the mail. Wait for it to reach the seller.

Cut a 3 by 12-inch (7.6 by 30.5-cm) strip from cardstock. Fold the paper back and forth to create a 3 by 3-inch (7.6 by 7.6-cm) square. Print out 2 by 2-inch (5.1 by 5.1-cm) photos of yourself and the recipient, then glue them to each panel. Write messages under each photo or on the back of each panel.  For a nicer touch, don't add a photo to the first panel. Decorate the panel with Valentine's day stickers and illustrations instead. Red, pink, or purple cardstock will work the best. You may have to tape 2 sheets together to make it long enough. Don't use original photos. Scan them into your computer, then resize and crop them as needed. Get some printer paper and fold it into a paper airplane. Write a Valentine's day message on the wings using a red, pink, or purple marker. Decorate the wings and body with Valentine's day stickers for a nicer touch.  For a more colorful airplane, cut a sheet of Valentine's day patterned scrapbooking paper into an 8 1/2 by 11-inch (22 by 28-cm) rectangle, and use that instead. Alternatively, write your message on the back of the paper before you fold it into an airplane. The recipient will have to open it in order to read it. Trace your notebook onto cardstock or scrapbooking paper. Cut the shape out, then glue it to the front of your notebook. Decorate the cover with Valentine's day stickers or illustrations. Open the notebook and write a message on the first page.  The notebook should be small, about 2 by 4 inches (5.1 by 10.2 cm). Red, pink, or purple cardstock are great choices. You can also use Valentine's day patterned scrapbooking paper instead. If you don't have paper, cover the front of the notebook with strips of patterned washi tape. Cut 2 identical heart shapes out of red, white, pink, or purple felt. Use embroidery thread in a contrasting color to write your message on 1 heart. Place the hearts together with the message on the front. Sew around the edges of the heart using a blanket stitch and more embroidery thread.  Choose a Valentine's day color for the...
