Do most pruning during the winter. Remove suckers growing on the base of the tree. Cut away dead and diseased wood. Remove branches that do not come from the fruiting wood. Trim down the secondary branches. Consider cutting back the main branches considerably. Pinch out new growth during the summer. Remove potentially harmful fruit in autumn.

Paying attention to what a person’s body movements (or lack of movement) are telling you can often reveal more to you than what they are actually saying.Look for behavior and body language that is different from what they normally do.  Is their body shaking or obviously tense? This is usually a sign of nervousness and nervousness is common when people lie. Liars sometimes try to make very little movement with their body in effort to control their “tells”.  This also gives away the fact that they are lying, because usually they are unnaturally still. Are they sweating? This is a nervous reaction people cannot control. So, if they are sweating for no reason, it might be because they are lying. This is often something children do. Fidgeting (tapping fingers, playing with hair, etc.) can often be a sign or “tell” that someone is lying. Wringing or clasping and unclasping their hands may also be an indicator of lying. Small eye movements such as slight narrowing or widening, darting around, and even closing (for longer than a blink) can be indications that someone is lying to you.  If someone immediately and quickly looks away when they begin to tell you something or when you ask them a tough question, they might be lying. Especially young children are often not able to make normal eye contact when they are lying. However, skilled liars have no problem making eye contact.   People normally glance away a bit when talking. A person who's making a point of keeping eye contact is more likely to be lying as they're probably trying to convince you and themselves that they aren't lying. Things like jaw clinching, lip biting, forehead wrinkling, etc. can all be small signs that the person isn't being completely honest with you.  Expressions on a person’s face, especially skilled liars, can often be limited to their mouth instead of the whole face, particularly when they are trying to control their expressions.  Is their nose red or are they scratching it? Called "The Pinocchio Effect", blood rushes to the nose when a...

TL;DR in English: Look at general body language. Look at their hands.People often unconsciously make small movements with their hands when they are lying. Observe their eyes.People often don’t realize just how expressive their eyes are. Study their face.Just like with the eyes, people are often not aware of the small unconscious movements in their face.

This should include reference cards describing the 10 phases as well as 108 additional cards--24 red, 24 orange, 24 yellow, 24 green (all numbered), 4 skip cards, and 8 wild cards. Each player should receive 10 cards, which are held so that only the player holding the hand can see which cards they are. This will serve as the draw pile. Turn over the top card of this pile and set it face-up next to the draw pile. This will serve as the discard pile. This player will take the top card of either the draw pile or the discard pile, then choose one of their cards to discard. During the first round, each player is trying complete phase 1 (see above) so they can go out and end the round. The round ends and all players score and discard their current hands . Anyone who completed phase 1 in round 1 moves on to trying to complete phase 2, but anyone who could not complete phase 1 needs to do so before proceeding. It is still possible for anyone to win, however; it all depends on who goes out and who ends up with a lot of cards. This person is typically considered the winner, although some people play so that the person with the fewest points wins, no matter who ends the game.

TL;DR in English: Shuffle and deal a deck of Phase 10 cards. Put the rest of the deck down in the middle of the players. Start the game with the player to the left of the dealer. Stop playing once someone ‘goes out’. Continue playing in this manner until someone plays a phase 10 and goes out.

This will open Skype's Options menu, where you'll be checking what playback device is selected. You'll see options for your microphone and speakers on the right. This should be the port that your speakers or headphones are plugged into. It should typically be the "Speakers" option. This can help you determine if you've selected the correct playback device. If your regular playback device is located lower on the list, move it to the top so that it is chosen as the default. If you've selected the correct device and it's still not working, try unplugging your speakers or headset and then plugging it back in. Oftentimes, this will cause Skype to re-detect the device. Make sure that the "Automatically adjust speaker settings" box is checked before plugging it back in. Oftentimes, a simple reboot will solve the problem that you're having. If rebooting doesn't work, try the more advanced fixes in the next section.

TL;DR in English: Click the Tools menu and select "Options". Click the "Audio Settings" option in the left menu. Check the playback device selected in the "Speakers" drop-down menu. Click the blue Play button to play a test ring. Click the "Advanced options button" to see the device order. Unplug and then reconnect your speakers or headphones. Reboot your computer.

Or you can use a long rectangular or long square pillow and half fold it and there is your couch.  You can also place stuffing of some sort (grass, hay, newspaper, fabric) on a rectangle of material and sew another rectangle over it. This would work well for cushions, beds, chairs, or couches.     Another alternative for a couch is to use a small basket. Either turn it upside down or fill it with stuffing and a handkerchief or scrap fabric piece to cover the filling. A television can be made by sticking a picture from a magazine onto cardstock and then drawing buttons around the edge. You can make a remote control with some more cardstock and a felt tip pen. Or you can get some cardboard cut it out of the shape of your remote. Look in any magazine and try to find a picture of a remote, Cut it out and glue it onto your cardboard. You can make shelves out of wood or just plain cardboard. Fill your shelves with items like photos, books or anything you like. You could even add a little coffee table made out of upturned basket or box.

TL;DR in English: Make a couch by gluing some material onto a shoe box and making some cushions out of material and cotton wool. Make a TV. Decorate the living room with accessories.

Once your fig tree reaches its third dormant season, or third winter, the vast majority of your pruning should take place during the late portion of the season since the tree is not actively growing during that time period. Wait until after the coldest part of the season has passed, though.  Pruning during the winter reduces the risk of shocking or damaging the tree during its early stages of growth, but doing so also makes the process easier since the lack of leaves will make the branches more visible. You could wait to do this pruning until early spring, if desired, but it should be done before the fig tree shows signs of new growth. A sucker is a branch that begins to grow from the base or roots of the fig tree. It can look similar to the tree itself but can be identified by the fact that it does not stem from the main branch or trunk of the tree.  Suckers result from a tree's attempt at growing more branches, but if the tree is stressed or spliced, it can put out suckers instead of healthy branches from the main trunk. Suckers need to be removed. If you do not prune these branches, they will drain energy from the main, healthy tree, and your fig tree will gradually weaken and produce a smaller yield as a result. Similarly, secondary lateral branches should also be removed if they grow close to the ground. These plants will be unable to adequately support fruit or foliage, so they would only be a drain on the tree's resources if they remained, just as most suckers are. If part of your fig tree shows signs of disease, you need to remove those branches to prevent the disease from spreading to the rest of the tree. Similarly, you need to cut off dead or dying wood. Dead wood is unsightly, but more importantly, it can invite disease as it decays. Note that if one of your main fruiting branches becomes damaged, you should remove it and select a newly formed sucker or branch late the following winter as a new fruiting branch for your tree. New growth that does not emerge from the fruiting wood you designated...

Use a stud finder to find the studs Use a drill to drill into the stud where you’d like to hang your shelf. Secure the bracket in the hole. Use a level to place the second bracket. Install the second bracket using a drill and secure it tightly. Measure the distance between the 2 brackets carefully. Drill the bracket holes into your shelf. Slide the shelf onto the brackets.

This is more of a coconut shortbread-type cookie. Because there is no egg in this recipe, the dough may seem a bit more crumbly. If your dough is too dry and crumbly after beating the ingredients together, add 1 to 2 tablespoons cream or soft butter. Add them in 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough looks wet and sticks together.  It’s also important to measure out all the ingredients properly. Use metal or plastic measuring cups for the dry ingredients. Do not tap or shake the cup when measuring. Instead, level off any excess amount by running a straight edge knife across the top of the cup. To prepare the butter for this recipe, make sure it is softened but not melted. If possible, let the butter sit at room temperature 30-45 minutes before you plan to make the cookie dough. If you are using an electric mixer to beat together the ingredients, use the mixer bowl. If you are beating the ingredients together by hand, use a regular mixing bowl. Pour 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups sugar, 2 cups butter, softened, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon vanilla into the mixing bowl.  Beat the ingredients at low speed until well mixed. Scrape the sides of the bowl often with a spatula. Make sure the coconut flakes are the sweetened kind to add the right amount of sweetness to these cookies. Shape each half into a 12 x 2 inch log. Refrigerate both logs for at least 2 hours to firm up the dough. Then, take out the logs and place them on a clean work surface. Place each slice 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. This recipe should make about 8 dozen cookies. If you want to make less than 8 dozen cookies in one sitting, halve the recipe. The edges should be lightly golden and brown. Then, place the cookies on a cooling rack. Enjoy your traditional Scandinavian coconut cookies!

TL;DR in English: Keep in mind this recipe does not use any eggs. Take out a mixer bowl or a large mixing bowl. Combine all the ingredients, except the flaked coconut. Stir in 1 cup flaked coconut with a spatula or wooden spoon. Divide the dough in half with a knife. Wrap each log in plastic wrap. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use a knife to cut the logs into ¼ inch slices. Bake the cookies for 10-14 minutes. Cool them for about a minute on the cookie sheet.

Peel 1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh ginger and two cloves of garlic, then finely chop along with 3 scallions. Feel free to add additional spices. Consider 1 tbsp (15 mL) sesame oil and 1 tbsp (15 mL) sesame seeds to match the other East Asian ingredients. Mix the flavorful ingredients together with 1/4 cup (60 mL) olive oil and 3 tbsp (45 mL) soy sauce. Pour the marinade into a zip locked bag or a wide dish, then place the salmon in the marinade. Refrigerate, turning fillets occasionally, for 30–60 minutes. If you continue to marinade past that point, the texture of the fish may be compromised. Because the marinade was in contact with raw fish, it should be discarded after use, or brought to a boil before using as a sauce. If you like, you can create a glaze to brush onto your salmon for additional flavor during cooking. A simple glaze that pairs well with this marinade is a mixture of 2 tbsp (30 mL) honey, 1 tsp (5 mL) soy sauce, and 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) Sriracha. Feel free to experiment with the amounts until you find a flavor you enjoy, keeping in mind the glaze may seem overpowering when tasted on its own, rather that eaten on the salmon. Consider pan-searing your salmon to a temperature of 125–140ºF (52–60ºC) on each side. If you do not have a thermometer, avoid overcooking by cooking only skin-side down, briefly cooking the flesh side for only 15–30 seconds once the salmon is opaque but still mostly juicy.  You may eat the skin of the salmon, or remove it after cooking. You may also grill, bake, broil, or poach your salmon after marinading.

TL;DR in English: Prepare the aromatic ingredients. Mix with the other marinated ingredients. Marinate the salmon. Prepare the glaze (optional). Cook your salmon.

There are strong arguments on either side — both for and against clipping. Those who caution against it say that birds were meant to fly and we should not interfere with a parrot’s natural inclinations. Clipping the parrot's wings deprives them of this basic freedom. Consider other options first. If you are planning to show your bird, it should never be clipped. Parrots respond very well to clicker training, and you can train your parrot to return to you when called. You can also use clicker training to modify unwanted behaviors, which can help your parrot stay happy and safe. If you are not willing to do the work to train a parrot, then you may want to reconsider if getting a bird is right for you. There are some dangers to letting your bird fly free in your home. They can potentially damage their feathers, knock things over, and consume things that they should not. Many household items can be dangerous to parrots, including toilets and other standing water, lightbulbs and stoves that get hot, ceiling fans, cords to blinds, and windows and mirrors. Ask yourself why you want a bird if you don't want it to fly or don't feel that your home is a safe environment. Consider that a different pet may be more appropriate. Parrots are quick and can take advantage of any open door or window to get out. Once outside, it may be difficult to get bird back if you have not trained them. With clipped wings, the chance of escape is reduced. And if your bird does get out, it’s much easier to get them back. Bird wings should not be clipped until the bird can fly. Clipping too early can stunt the regular growth of the feathers. If you’ve never done it before, it’s advisable to have your vet do it the first time. That way you can see how it works and then decide if you want to continue to do it at home.

TL;DR in English: Ask yourself whether you want to clip your bird’s wings. Train your bird. Clip the wings for safety reasons indoors. Prevent your bird from escaping. Don’t clip a baby parrot’s wings. Decide if you want a veterinarian to cut your bird’s wings.

As only one piece can occupy a house at a time, you will sometimes be in a situation where a house is blocked by another player. There are ways to capture blocked houses when playing Senet. There are also ways to protect your pieces.  If you land your move on a house occupied by another player, you can capture the piece. The other player's piece will be moved back to the house your piece was on at the beginning of your turn. However, if two or more of another player's pieces are next to each other, that house is protected. It cannot be captured and you will not be able to complete your turn. On a senet board, there are six houses with special pictures on them. If you land on one of these houses, there are special rules you have to follow.  The House of Happiness or Pretty House is marked by what looks like three upside down stick figures. All of your pieces need to pass through this house to win. You must land on the house exactly. If, for example, the House of Happiness is located on square 26 and you're on square 25, if you do not roll in such a way that you'll move exactly one house you have to stay in place until your next turn.  The House of Water is marked by three zigzagged lines. If you land on the House of Water, you have to move straight back to the House of Rebirth. The House of Rebirth is marked by three sideways stick figures. Your piece remains on the House of Rebirth until you choose to remove it again. The House of Three Truths is marked by a drawing of three birds. If you land on this house, you can throw your sticks again. If you have three color sides up, you can automatically remove this piece from the board. The House of Re-Atoum is marked by two dancing stick figures. If you have landed here, throw your sticks again. If you have two colored sticks facing up, you can remove your piece from the board. The last house on the board is marked by a leaf-like drawing. When you reach this house, you must toss your sticks again. You cannot remove your piece until you toss your sticks and only one...

TL;DR in English: Capture and protect houses. Follow the special rules for houses with pictures. Win the game.

in the wall. The best way to do this is to use a stud finder, sliding it along the wall horizontally until the stud finder indicates where the stud is. Once you’ve located the studs, use a pencil to mark where they are. You can also try to find the studs by looking for small dimples in the trim or knocking on the wall and listening for a solid sound instead of a hollow one. To create the first hole for your special bracket, use a 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) drill bit to get started. Once you’ve created a small hole, switch to a 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) bit and drill a hole for the bracket, making sure not to drill too deep. You can measure the bracket’s length and then use a piece of tape to mark the drill bit so that you don’t drill too far in. Place the bracket in the hole, turning it until you feel a slight resistance. Keep turning the bracket until it feels tightly secured. If you’re twisting the bracket and aren’t feeling any resistance, pull it back out. Twist the end that goes into the shelf clockwise so the bracket expands. To make sure your shelf is even and steady, use a level and the stud finder to decide where to place the other bracket that will hold up your shelf. Use a pencil to mark where the second bracket will go. Make sure the distance between the 2 brackets isn't longer than the length of your shelf. Follow the same process of drilling a hole into a stud using the drill bits. Place the bracket into the second hole, twisting it until it’s tightly secured.  Remember not to drill too deeply when making the hole for the bracket. It’s a good idea to use the level again once you’ve placed the second bracket, just to make sure the 2 brackets create a level surface. If the brackets aren't level, you'll need to remove 1 from the wall and realign it. Use a ruler to measure the distance from 1 bracket to the next so that you’ll know where to drill the holes in your shelf. You need this measurement to be exact, so take the time to measure it 2 or 3 extra times. Write down the measurement so that you don’t forget...

This way, if for any reason a character faints, you will be able to hold a rematch. This will initiate a battle. Start using Fire, Flying, Normal and Poison based attacks. Regirock is a Rock-type Pokémon and will be strong against these attacks, meaning it will effectively lessen the chances that you will cause Regirock to faint, thereby terminating the battle. When Regirock’s HP is low enough, try to capture him using your Pokeballs. Dusk balls are recommended; however, should you fail to capture him within 30 turns, you should start using Timer balls. Timer balls are slightly more effective than Dusk balls, but require the player to have stayed in battle for 30 or more attempts.

TL;DR in English: Save the game. Talk to Regirock. Wear down Regirock’s HP. Capture Regirock.

Glaucoma is a less common cause of swollen or bulging eyes. However, an injury or infection that resulted in the bulging eye can also cause glaucoma in the future. Glaucoma is incurable, but medications that reduce pressure within the eye and treat inflammation can help manage it. Glaucoma occurs when pressure builds up within the eye due to drainage issues. Injury and infection can cause these drainage issues, so you should take your cat for regular vet exams at least once a year after treating the bulging eye. Feline herpesvirus (FHV) causes eye infections like keratitis and conjunctivitis that result in swollen or bulging eyes. This often occurs as a result of the eyelids gumming shut and pus collecting behind them. Carefully bathe the eyelids with water to get them to open and release the trapped infection. FHV-related eye infections can be treated with antivirals, but if your cat tests positive for FHV, it will be a carrier for the rest of its life. However, the virus will go into a dormancy period, and there are steps you can take to manage it. Do your best to reduce your cat’s stress level by giving it loving attention, letting it have its space, limiting encounters with other animals or small children, and keeping it indoors. Stress will lead to more frequent recurrences, or flare-ups, of the virus. If a malignant tumor has pushed the cat’s eye out of place, immediate surgery will be required to remove the eye and gain access to the tumor, provided the tumor is surgically accessible. Your vet will likely suggest a chemotherapy regimen in addition to surgical removal. With its high cost and risks, the vet might unfortunately recommend euthanasia over cancer treatment. However, cancer treatment in small animals is a rapidly evolving field, so there might be a therapy or combination of therapies available to manage the tumor.

TL;DR in English: Consult with the vet to manage glaucoma. Work with the vet to manage feline herpesvirus. Discuss cancer therapies with the vet.

You should see that the bowtie is almost made, but the central “tie” of the bowtie  is still folded in on itself. To open it, hold the bowtie on both sides right next to the folded center of the bowtie, then gently pull. The folds should expand, then open to reveal the face of George Washington right on the center of the bowtie! Push on the center if it is not flattening.

Tanning beds emit UVA radiation, just like the sun, and if you stay in them too long you can get burned. The fairer your skin, the less time it will take to burn. The faster you start treatment, the less damage the burn will do. If your skin feels tingly or itchy, or if it is pink or reddish, you should start treating it right away. Burns draw water to your skin, dehydrating the rest of you. You’ll always want to drink extra water after tanning, but if you have burned, you’ll want to drink as much water as you can stomach to promote healing and keep you hydrated. Do this for 10 or 15 minutes several times a day to take the heat out of your skin and offer relief. If taking a bath or shower, pat yourself dry and leave some water on your skin. Apply moisturizer immediately. Moisturizers with aloe vera are particularly soothing for burned skin, and you may also want to consider products with Vitamin C and E, which may help to limit the damage to your skin. Do not use moisturizers that contain petroleum, which will trap the heat in your skin. Also avoid benzocaine and lidocaine, which can irritate your skin. Do not apply moisturizers to blistering skin. You can buy hydrocortisone over-the-counter, and it will help to ease painful burning or itching. Do not apply hydrocortisone to blistering skin. Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn) will both reduce pain and swelling, helping to prevent long-term damage to the skin. Adults may also use aspirin, but never give it to children, as it can cause sudden acute brain and liver damage. Blisters indicate that you have a second degree burn. Do not put moisturizer on them or pop them, as this will make your sunburn worse. Leave them alone until they heal, or consider covering them with a dry bandage to prevent chafing against your clothing. The last thing you want to do is to expose your burned skin to more sun. Keep your time outside to a minimum, and when you do go out, cover all burned areas with clothes made of tightly-woven fabric (when you hold them...

TL;DR in English: Know that you can burn from tanning too long. Treat the burn as soon as you notice it. Drink lots of water. Put a cold damp towel on your skin or take a cold shower or bath. Use moisturizer frequently. Apply hydrocortisone cream to particularly uncomfortable areas. Take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory. Leave blisters alone or cover them with dry bandages. Protect yourself when you go outside.

Place the jars in the canner. Turn up the heat and watch the steam and pressure. Process the jars for the duration of time needed for the type of meat you are canning. Turn off the heat and let the jars cool. Move the jars from the canner to the counter. Store the jars.

It is important to pick a song that fits the occasion, but it also should be easy for you to sing. At home, you can try to sing through songs. A good one won’t make your throat feel tight or sound hoarse. This protects your voice from damage but also gives you a chance to feel comfortable on stage. At church, for example, try singing “Amazing Grace” if you have a high vocal range. You might want to sing “How Great Is Our God” if you have a low range. Naturally, it’s important to know what you are singing before you go on stage. Spend some reading the lyrics aloud. Think about what the words mean, since developing an understanding of them solidifies memory. After you feel comfortable with a line or two, move on to the next ones. Use a unidirectional microphone or speaker system. Face the speaker so the microphone points away from it. This way, you’ll learn to prevent the hiss of feedback as well as have an opportunity to hear how you sound over equipment. Get a longer cord if you need to walk around with the mic.  If you don’t have equipment at home or need exposure, try a karaoke bar or open mic night in your area. Avoid using omnidirectional microphones, which pick up sound from all sides. These are useful for lower volume sounds in studios and sound stages. Try to use the same equipment you’ll use during the performance, if possible. This way, you can familiarize yourself with the location. You may feel more comfortable once you get on stage. You’ll also be aware of how much space you have to move in and how it makes you sound. On stage, you won’t have time to listen to yourself singing. To adjust, memorize how the song feels as you begin practicing it. Learn the song structure, matching the words with the notes they need to be sung at. When you can hit a high C, for example, you’ll know what it feels like. It’ll feel different from a low C. You’ll feel more comfortable when you’re on stage because you’ll be able to feel yourself hitting the notes. Set practice times are fine. Singing outside those sessions...

TL;DR in English: Choose a song that fits the occasion and your vocal range. Read through the lyrics a few lines at a time. Sing into a microphone and speaker system. Practice on the stage where you’ll perform. Focus on the feeling of hitting the right notes. Practice while performing daily activities. Sing for people you trust. Ask people for feedback on your singing.

By inserting a new and larger bottom stop, you’ll be able to cover missing teeth. Thus, your zipper will function normally and won’t get stuck or snagged in the future.  Bottom zipper stops are measured in millimeters. Determine the size you will need by measuring the width of the closed zipper. Turn the garment right side out. Push the prongs of the bottom zipper stop into the fabric directly above the old zipper stop—the new zipper stop will cover the missing bottom teeth. Turn the garment inside out and check if the stop is perpendicular to the zipper. Close the prongs with a pair of pliers to secure it in place.

TL;DR in English: Attach a larger bottom stop.

Gather parsley before the first flowers start to open, and gather it in the morning after the dew has dried. It will have maximum flavor at this time of day; the heat of the afternoon will diminish the parsley's flavor. Alternately, purchase fresh parsley at a grocery store. Choose bright green bunches of parsley that look nice and smell fresh. Don't pick parsley that is shriveled, brown, moldy, or is dried out. Carefully cut the parsley with stems still attached, and be careful to not bruise the leaves. Use cold water to rinse, and then shake the parsley gently to remove excess water from the leaves. This will remove any residual dirt, as well as any bugs that crawled into your parsley. Blanching is a method that scalds herbs, vegetables or fruit so that their color and flavor will last when they are preserved. To blanch the parsley, use tongs to dip sprigs of parsley into a pot of boiling water briefly and swirl them around. Pull out the parsley when the color brightens. The blanching step can be skipped, but the parsley will likely have less flavor and may have a gray-green color. This will stop the parsley from cooking after being in contact with boiling water.  Be careful not to overflow the ice cube tray with water. Alternatively, put the chopped parsley in small freezer bags.  Use within 4-6 months.

TL;DR in English: Harvest fresh parsley from your garden. Rinse the parsley. Blanch the parsley in boiling water. Cool the parsley by either running it under cold water or letting it cool in the air. Remove stems and finely chop parsley with a knife. Pack chopped parsley into an ice cube tray and add a little water into each ice cube compartment. Freeze the parsley ice cubes for about 24 hours or until they are solidly frozen. Store the parsley ice cubes in a freezer bag or airtight freezer-safe container.

New Era kits are sold with all the basic supplies you'll need to keep your hat looking clean and new. The kits typically retail for about the price of the hat, making them somewhat pricy, but include cleaning spray, shaping spray, a cleaning brush, and a pump-mold that you can use to maintain the shape of the hat when you're not wearing it. The value of these kits is pretty debatable. If you have a big collection of hats you want to keep looking new, it might be worth it, but if you've just got a few, it's probably fine to just use the basic cleaning methods described above. The pump-mold can be altered to shape the size of the hat you're wearing. You can set the mold by placing your hat on top of it, and inflating it to the size you want to keep the hat. Squeeze the pressure-ball to inflate the pump. Once you get it to the right size, it'll work on all your hats. After you remove the hat, place the hat on the pump-mold and spritz it with a gentle mist of cleaning spray, then gently comb the brim and cap of the hat with the cleaning brush to keep it looking nice. After you clean the hat, apply shaping spray while the hat sits. 2-3 pumps of shaping spray is usually enough. This will allow the hat to stay firmly molded and looking fresh for as long as possible. The cap freshener spray is available for much less money, if you want to opt for the most important part of the package. You can usually get it for abut ten bucks, or try an off-brand cap-cleaning spray for regular up-keep of your caps.

TL;DR in English: Consider getting an official New Era cleaning kit. Store the hat on the pump-mold. Use the cleaning brush each time you wear the hat. Spray with shaping spray.

Use the jar lifter to set them into the canner. Fit as many as you can in the canner at once. Close the lid on the canner and lock it in place. Depending on the type of canner you are using, either leave the pressure weight off or leave the petcock open.  Be sure to read the instructions on the canner to make sure you complete the process correctly. Don't stack jars on top of one another. The canner is working effectively when it begins producing large amounts of steam. Once the jars are inside and the heat is turned up, it should begin producing the appropriate amount of steam within 10 to 15 minutes. The pressure should hold steady at between 10 and 12 pounds, depending on your pressure canner model and altitude. If it rises above that, turn the heat down a little. This may be anywhere from 65 to 90 minutes, and it changes depending on whether the meat is raw or cooked. It's important to process the jars for exactly as long as is recommended for safety purposes.  Stay in the kitchen while the pressure canner is working, and monitor the pressure gauge. If it drops too low or high, adjust the heat on the stove as necessary. When the correct amount of time has elapsed, let the pressure return to zero and the jars cool a bit before you remove them from the pressure canner. Open the lid of the canner and remove the jars with the jar lifter, then set them on a dishtowel. Make sure your workspace isn't too drafty or cold; the cool air could cause the hot jars to crack. Set the jars a few inches apart so they cool properly. You'll hear popping noises as the lids seal.  Don't touch the jars as they cool, or they may not seal properly. Check the seals after the cooling process is finished. They should be slightly indented. Jars that have been properly sealed can be stores on shelves in the pantry or another cool, dark area. Label the jars with their contents and the date before storing them.  Don't store jars of meat in the sunlight or in a warm area. Jars that did not seal should be refrigerated or put through the...

Know that your past does not define your future. Learn from your mistakes. Move on.

A good review introduction will not only hook the reader, but also provide a clear picture of the product under review and the product's advertised benefits.  For first-time users, dedicate some space to explaining the functionality of the product in some detail, treating the product as if all the features are new. Teaching new customers about a product is an important aspect of a product review. For experienced consumers, focus on the evolution of a product from one model to the next, as well as any common defects or problems users may have encountered in the past. Long-time users of a product will often read reviews for solutions to problems, giving you a chance to demonstrate your knowledge of a product. Provide the reader with the basic information a consumer likes to know before buying a product. This may include brand name, model number, measurements, target demographic, price, and so on. Talk about what you liked AND what you didn't like about the product. The most helpful reviews are those that outline both the pros and cons of a product, while readers will most likely skip reviews full of effusive praise or bitter criticism.  Make sure to clearly explain how you arrived at your judgments, and specifically address why you believe certain features are beneficial and why you consider others flaws. Most people will be looking for an unbiased review of a product, and thus a clearly explained, balanced review is more likely to be read than a review that focuses too much on the positive or negative aspects of a product (unless warranted, of course). Discuss the product under review in light of similar products available to buyers, comparing the pros and cons of each. This will both demonstrate your research and knowledge, and provide the reader with a point of reference when making their next purchase. This is particularly important for first-time buyers who may require a point of reference before deciding to purchase. Describe for the reader who you believe would benefit the most from the product, which...

TL;DR in English: Write the introduction. Describe the product under review. Be balanced. Compare and contrast products. Pinpoint the target audience. Write the conclusion. Publish the review.

Check the tubes and wires attached to the welder and make sure that they are in good condition. Check the MIG welding gun's trigger and make sure that there is a wire properly feeding out of the tip of the gun. Ensure that your shielding gas canisters are attached to the machine and are properly set up. Your wire speed setting is determined by your machine, the type of wire you are using, and the thickness of the metal that you're welding. Adjust the wire speed and voltage so that the weld is clean. You'll know you're welding a proper bead when it sounds like a consistent sizzle similar to bacon. If your weld cracks and spurts, you have to adjust your settings.  A slower wire speed works better on thinner pieces of metal. Getting the perfect settings for your work area and materials is usually up to trial and error. Pushing the trigger will feed the wire through the machine at a regulated rate and create the weld. As you weld, make sure that you move slowly in small circular motions over the metal. If you notice that the welding machine isn't working properly, adjust the settings.

TL;DR in English: Set up your MIG welder properly. Adjust the wire speed and voltage to make a consistent weld. Press the trigger on the gun's handle to start welding.

The first step is probably the most important and overlooked step. Opening your pores enables the special ingredients contained in the Alpha Mane facial cleanser and razor bump cream to do their jobs effectively. So how do you open up the pores? Apply a warm face cloth to the affected area. Let sit for about 3-4 minutes or when the cloth becomes cool. Repeat the process, but this time, let sit for about a minute. With your pores now open, gently apply the Alpha Mane Green Tea Facial Cleanser in circular motions in an upward direction. Massage into the skin for approximately one to two minutes. Let sit on the skin for about a minute. Rinse the Green Tea Facial Cleanser completely off your skin with warm water. Using a soft cloth, gently pat down on the wet area until dry. In a circular motion, gently apply the Alpha Mane Razor Bump Cream to the affected area on your skin. Please ensure the cream is completely rubbed into the skin. And voila, you are done. Treat your affected skin in the morning (after you shower) & at night, before bed. This works because the asprin has small traces of salicylic acid in it.

TL;DR in English: Open up the Pores: Cleanse the Skin: Apply Razor Bump Cream: Crush up some asprin with a little bit of water, it'll reduce the itch and swelling of the razor burn.

You may have had some downs, some failed grades or poor relationships - this does not mean that you will fail every exam you ever take or have poor relationships for the rest of your life. Acknowledge any role that you may have played in these and also look at other factors that may have been at play. The point of this is not to point fingers or lay blame on any one. Understand that you have some control over the quality of your life. Look at things that may have gone wrong in the past and look at your behavior then and now. Forgive yourself. Are there any lessons that you can draw from them? Write them down. Is there anything you’re doing that you know will have consequences that you will regret later? Instead, do something that will be of benefit to you later, or at the very least will not cause any harm. You will have to exercise some discipline. It’s easy to repeat behavior just because it’s familiar, it’s what you’re used to doing in a particular situation. For example, if you’re used to eating lots of sweet things and now you have diabetes, it will take time to adjust to your eating habits. Take the lessons you’ve learned, and carry on with life. As your past defined your present, your present will define your future. What you do now, will affect your future.  Allow yourself to fully feel any grievance you may have for the past. For a friendship that went sour or for a project you set out to do that didn’t work out the way you wanted. Write about it or discuss it with someone you trust. Express your view on the matter and why you’re upset about it. This will help you better understand your situation.  Accept that what’s done is done and that you can only deal with the here and now. Forgive yourself for your mistakes and if you can, make amends with others. Internalizing this may take longer than a day. Your choices, habits and behavior in the past made who you are today. It will take time to cultivate new habits that will make who you are tomorrow.

Not all dealers are as accommodating to low or poor credit scores. You will need to find a dealer that is willing to work with your credit to get you the loan that you want.  Some dealers specialize in this and have unique relationships with lenders that are ready to work with you.  You will need to speak with the dealer's finance team or department directly to learn if they can help you. Inform them clearly of your situation. You won't get an accurate picture of how likely you are to be financed if you don't convey your exact credit situation to your dealers finance team. You may not need to submit an application for financing to learn if you will get the loan or not.  A capable finance manager should be able to tell you how likely you are to receive the loan when you do actually apply. It may be tempting to apply wherever you can in an attempt to successfully get your application accepted. However, applying to many lenders at once can actually hurt your credit score further. You should also know that not all lenders are ideal for a motorcycle loan.  Apply only to lenders that specialize in personal loans or in motorcycle loans. Look for key terms such as bad credit, poor credit, no credit, motorcycle financing, or after bankruptcy loans. Remember, though, that bankruptcy will typically not be a factor if it has been discharged for two or more years. Loans made to people with bad credit may have higher interest rates. Be fully aware of the conditions of your loan before accepting. A co-signer to a loan is another person that promises to take on payments if you are unable. If your co-signer has a better credit score than you, this can help you to obtain the loan you are seeking.  Your co-signer should have excellent credit. Having a co-signer helps assure your lender that they are more likely to receive their payments. If you have made payments on another motorcycle, you can demonstrate your consistency on those payments. Despite your low credit score, by showing your previous motorcycle payments were always...

TL;DR in English: Talk with your dealer. Find the right lender. Inform your lender if you have a co-signer. Demonstrate your payments on a previous motorcycle. Make a larger down payment.

It's important to give your Cavalier new experiences, especially while he's still very young (before 18 weeks old). He'll consider the new sights and sounds to be normal which can help build his confidence. This socialization will also prevent over-anxious behavior as he gets older. Make sure your Cavalier meets a wide range of people, dogs, and experiences. You can take your dog to a socialization class run by your vet or a reputable trainer in the area. Train your Cavalier in small doses and often. Keep the sessions to five minutes at a time and do them three times a day. Your dog will respond better to this than if you do one long half-hour session. Choose a time when your dog isn't hungry or tired, so he pays attention. Stop the session if he looses interest. Always try to end on a positive note, with a command you know your dog can do. Use a clicker to teach your dog to associate a click-clack sound with receiving a reward when he obeys a command. Practice by throwing a treat on the floor and let your Cavalier eat it. As soon as he goes to the treat, press the clicker. Repeat this till he associates the click-clack sound with looking for a treat. Start giving commands and when he obeys, press the clicker as his reward. For example, when your Cavalier toilets outside, immediately press the clicker so he knows he's being rewarded for toileting in the right place. When you use the clicker training, always start with a verbal command word. For example, say "Sit" and click once he follows the command. Once he's comfortable following verbal commands with the clicker reward, stop using the clicker, but continue to use verbal commands. For example, you could run a few steps away from your Cavalier while slapping your leg and calling his name. He'll instinctively want to keep close to you, so this is good practice in responding to his name. Your Cavalier will only associate punishment with you instead of the action you dislike. This can damage your relationship, actually making it harder to train him. Instead,...

TL;DR in English: Expose your dog to others. Choose good times to train. Clicker train your dog. Use verbal commands. Never hit or yell at your dog.

Preheat oven to 350° degrees Fahrenheit or 176° Celsius. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix using a whisk until the dry ingredients are well-combined. Pour in the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, white vinegar, and water. Stir using a whisk or blend using a hand blender, until the cake batter forms and there are no more flour streaks. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the cake batter into both of the cake pans. Remove any leftover batter by scraping the edges of the bowl. Place both cake pans in the oven to bake. Have the cake bake for about 45 minutes, until the cake rises and is fluffy. Remove both pans from the oven and have the cakes cool for about twenty minutes on a wire rack. Leave both cakes until they are cool enough to touch. Consider stacking both cakes to make a two-layer chocolate cake. Frost with chocolate buttercream frosting and/or decorate with any desired toppings such as berries, powdered sugar, coconut flakes, and sprinkles Slice the chocolate cake and serve on a serving plate. Enjoy!

Immunotherapy, also called Allergen Specific Immunotherapy (ASIT), is usually the best choice for treating CAD. It can help your Golden Retriever achieve remission (no visible signs of CAD) without the use of other medications (e.g., steroids, antihistamines). ASIT works by gradually desensitizing your dog’s immune system to the allergens causing the CAD. The immunotherapy medicine, commonly given by injection, contains small amounts of the specific allergens to which your Golden Retriever is allergic.  By exposing your Golden Retriever to small, measured amounts of the allergens (rather than a large, uncontrolled amount in the environment), your dog’s immune system would slowly become more tolerant of the allergens over time, therefore lessening the allergic reaction.  Results of the skin tests your vet performed to diagnose CAD would indicate the specific allergens. Immunotherapy is most helpful for dogs that have skin allergies for longer than two to three months at a time and have not responded well to other skin allergy medications. It is a lifelong treatment. Immunotherapy injections are usually given about once every one to four weeks. Your vet will let you know how often your Golden Retriever will need the injections. It may help to schedule several appointments at one time to make sure your dog receives stays on schedule with the treatment. At the beginning of immunotherapy, your vet will increase the dosage of allergens until a maintenance dosage is reached. Your vet will determine the maintenance dosage and keep your Golden Retriever at this dosage level. Your vet may change the frequency of injections during the course of therapy. This may be the hardest part of immunotherapy, since it may take anywhere from a few months to a full year before a dog responds to this type of therapy. Because your Golden Retriever will not respond to immunotherapy very quickly, your vet will recommend treating your dog with other skin allergy medications during the course of immunotherapy.  Before starting...

TL;DR in English: Ask your vet how immunotherapy works. Have your vet perform the immunotherapy injections. Wait for a treatment response.

Bundling is a packing method used to greatly reduce wrinkles and creases. You'll wrap each garment around a core object, creating a snug bundle in the process.  Since this method requires you to wrap your clothes, you won't actually do any folding. The lack of folding results in a lack of creases. Wrapping items of clothing around a core and around each other also creates tension. This tension minimizes wrinkling. Find an organizer pouch with surface dimensions that are approximately 11 inches by 16 inches (30 cm by 40 cm).  The best dimensions can vary slightly depending on how many clothes you plan to pack and how wide your suitcase is. This size works well for most circumstances, though. You can technically use any small object with fixed dimensions like these. Since you can fill the pouch with other necessities, however, it is typically your best option. Roll or fold the socks and undergarments you plan to pack and carefully arrange them inside the pouch.  Similar items, like swimsuits, can also be packed in your pouch. Place soft items in this pouch, and fill the pouch with enough of these items to create a firm pillow. The idea is to make a firm core, but it should not be a rigid one. Do not put anything in your pouch that you need quick access to. Take the time to iron out any major creases or wrinkles before you pack any of your garments. Correct bundling should prevent additional wrinkles from forming, but it will not remove any wrinkles currently in your clothes. Secure all fasteners on all garments. Button your shirts and jackets, zipper any trousers or skirts, and snap up any pockets. Closed surfaces will be easier to wrap than wide, open surfaces. Clear your bed or a large area on a table or floor. It will be easiest to create your bundle in a flat spot with little clutter. Another option is to open your suitcase wrap the bundle directly inside. Doing so is more difficult and not ideal, but it can work in situations where wide space is not an option. Large wrinkle-prone garments will need to be...

Pick out a ring that is meaningful to your partner. Assess the "Four Cs" when deciding on a gemstone. Choose the right style. Make it a surprise.

Keeping your bag tightly stuffed or rolled for long periods of time will make it lose loft, which is what traps hot air to keep you warm. While you want to roll your bag tightly to travel with, you should never store your bag compressed or jammed in a stuff-sack. Loosely roll your bag, or let it rest, lightly folded, when it is not in use. The layering on the outside of these bags is great at keeping air out when you need to stay warm, but it can keep air in when you need it to escape for packing. Turn these bags inside out, zip them up, and then roll them as normal. These bags come with several straps and cinches that let you pull down on the top of the bag and get it even smaller. They are usually waterproof, and you can often get a large enough bag the lets you stuff several other items, like shirts or camping pillows, in with the bag. Always start packing by the tail if you use a stuff sack -- this allows the air in the bag to escape through the top. While you should never stuff your bag and store it fully compressed, good bag care requires brushing out any dirt, twigs, and leaves and letting the bag dry out completely when your trip is over. Mold and mildew will grow if your bag is allowed to be stored wet, and it is tough to remove once it grows. Let the bag rest outside on a dry day for several hours and brush out any debris. UV light can damage the sleeping bag fibers, so take care not to leave the bag in the sun all day. A few loose pieces of down is not uncommon in new sleeping bags. Gently work the quills back into the bag, pulling from the back side whenever possible. The holes will close back up and the insulation should settle with time.

TL;DR in English: Know that prolonged compression will make your bag less effective. Turn wind or water resistant bags inside out. Use a stuff-sack for tighter packing. Air out your bag when you return from your trip. Gently pull any leaking down feather back into the bag.

Bathroom policies will vary from school to school, teacher to teacher, and grade to grade. If you do not understand the bathroom policy, ask your teacher or professor to explain the rules and procedures to you. If you can not remember the restroom rules, ask your teacher to remind you of the rules. If you can not comply with any part of the bathroom policy, set up a meeting with your parents, teacher, and principal to discuss the concern and develop a solution you can all agree on.  In elementary, middle, and high school, you may be required to ask for permission to use the restroom. In college and graduate school, most professors will let your come and go from the classroom as you please. When you do get up to use restroom, leave and re-enter the room quietly and discretely. If you are an exchange student, ask your host family, roommate, teacher, or professor to explain the country's cultural norms regarding using the bathroom at school. Before asking to use the bathroom, make sure it is a convenient time for you to ask this question. Ask yourself, “Is it a good time to talk to my teacher and leave the classroom?”  Avoid asking your teacher to use the bathroom when they are in the middle of giving instructions, during the middle of a lecture, or during a lesson. Do ask your teacher to use the restroom during independent work times, when you have finished all of your class work, or after you have completed a test. If it is an emergency, remain calm and ask your teacher immediately. When it comes to asking to use the restroom, each teacher has a different policy. While some teachers prefer the traditional method of raising your hand to ask for permission, other teachers find this practice disrupting. Instead, they insist that their students use a special hand signal.  Raise your hand, wait patiently to be called on, and ask for permission to use the restroom. “May I please go to the restroom, Mr./Mrs/Ms. ____.” Raise your hand with the special signal (perhaps crossed fingers) and patiently wait for a response....

TL;DR in English: Determine your teacher's restroom policy. Choose an appropriate time to ask if you may use the bathroom. Ask to use the bathroom. Respect your teacher’s answer.

Targeted referral requests tend to generate a better response than mass emails or a general request on your website. Reach out to individual clients directly. Try to target clients with whom you have a good, well-established relationship. If a client trusts you and is familiar with your work, they’re more likely to give you a great referral. The best time to ask for a referral is while you are still actively completing a project with a client. That way, the client is still fully engaged with you, and has a clear idea of what kind of work you do. There’s no need to beat around the bush. If you’ve been doing great work for a client, it’s completely reasonable to ask for a referral. You can make the request in person, over the phone, or through email.  For example, if you decide to request a referral via email, let your client know what you are asking for within the first couple of sentences. You might start with something like, “Dear Robert, As I work toward expanding my practice over the coming year, I am reaching out to trusted clients to help me generate more business.” Your client will be better able to help you if they know exactly what you’re looking for. Target your request to someone the client is likely to be familiar with, or someone who has similar needs to the client’s. For example, instead of just asking, “Do you know anyone else who might need a real estate agent?” try asking, “Do you know any other young couples looking for a starter home in this price range?”

TL;DR in English: Make your request personal. Ask while you are still working with the client. Be direct. Be specific about what kinds of referrals you want.

Water is essential for preventing kidney stones, but it can also help to promote good kidney function. If you are concerned about kidney disease, then you should try to drink more water. Make it your goal to drink between 6 and 8 8  fl oz (240 mL) glasses of water every day. If you are at risk of kidney stones, then you should drink even more water per day. Keep in mind that if your doctor has recommended a specific fluid intake for you, then you should stick to this recommendation. High protein diets can “overload” the kidneys, so it is important to eat only a moderate amount of protein to keep your kidneys healthy. About 20 to 30% of your calories should come from protein. For example, if you ate 2,000 calories in a day, then your calories from protein should be between 400 and 600 calories. You can determine whether or not you are meeting this goal by keeping track of what you eat and paying special attention to your calories from high-protein foods. High-protein foods include things like meat, eggs, fish, and dairy products. Sodium can also cause problems for your kidneys, so it is best to avoid high-sodium foods and reduce your sodium intake as much as possible. You can reduce the sodium in your diet by cooking your own food and by limiting the amount of prepared and processed foods that you eat.  If you do use any prepared foods, make sure that you read the labels and avoid foods with added salt. Keep track of how much sodium you eat each day. You should try to stay below 2,300 mg per day if you are under 51 years old and under 1,500 mg per day if you are over 51 years old. Low-fat foods will help to protect your kidneys as well as your heart and arteries. Try to steer clear of high-fat foods like fried foods, baked goods, and other fat-laden dishes. Instead, choose low-fat foods such as:  Lean cuts of meat Low-fat cheese Low-fat milk Poultry with the skin removed Fruits Vegetables Beans If you have kidney disease that is more advanced, then you may need to limit your phosphorus intake. Make sure to...

TL;DR in English: Drink more water. Eat a moderate amount of protein. Reduce your sodium intake. Choose foods that are low in fat. Limit phosphorus if you have been told to do so. Watch your potassium intake if you have been advised to do so.

Research your partner's style preferences to find out what kind of ring would make them happy. Have they always wanted a brilliant diamond, or would it be more dazzling to have the ring set with a colorful stone? Pay attention when your partner mentions what kind of styles they like, and take a look at some of their other jewelry for comparison. A wedding proposal is a momentous occasion, and they've probably been dreaming all their life about the day someone pops the question with the perfect ring.  Having an engagement ring set with your partner's birthstone can be a moving alternative to the traditional diamond.  Using your partner's other jewelry for reference can save you a lot of trouble weeding out options. For instance, if most of the rings and necklaces they own are silver, it's a safe bet that they are partial to silver over other decorative metals. In jeweler’s lingo, the “four Cs” refer to the Cut, Carat, Clarity, and Color of diamonds and other precious gemstones. These are the most important qualities to look for when shopping for a ring set with a stone, and since you’ll be shelling out a lot of money for it, it can pay to know how to appraise what you’re shown. If you have a notion of what you’re after in terms of each “C,” you’ll also have a much easier time communicating your needs to the jewelry specialist.  Cut deals with the shape and texture of a stone. These might come in their raw forms, or they can be cut with precise angles for greater symmetry and appeal. Carat is a term that denotes a stone’s size. The higher the number of carats, the bigger the rock, and the more you can expect to pay for it. Clarity is a desirable trait of gemstones that have a uniform, translucent appearance and are lacking any unwanted imperfections in shape. Color refers to the natural hues of a stone, and is largely a matter of preference. Diamonds of the highest purity are most often clear or opalescent, but they can also be red, pink or blue, and some of these colors are exceedingly rare and valuable....

Online prose is often highly-referential, witty, and relentlessly current. If you want to put your content online and eventually get paid for it, it's a good idea to focus on developing your voice as a writer and in making your content as engaging and sharp as possible.  Work on your voice and writing voice-driven content. Online content will vary depending on the venue, but will often have a strong first-person "I," with an emphasis on subjective "views" on subjects, rather than objective analyses. The world of online writing is more niche-driven, and less broadcast, so we look for strong voices and unique personalities as readers. The introduction and the titles to online content are some of the most important parts of the copy. Since there's so much content online to click around, your writing needs to grab the reader in the first few lines, making it critical that you learn to break the silence quickly and effectively. Your hooks should be severe.  All you need to do to see this in action is check your email and look for the headlines: "You've Been Eating Breakfast Wrong" and "Consider Switching Bank Accounts if Your Bank is Not on this List" are instantly attention-grabbing. Even if you're completely happy with your bank and your corn flakes, there's a worm of doubt these writers have learned to grow in readers. You can't not click.

While online content is often serious and often informative, you'll make your skills much more amenable to world of online content if you've got a great sense of humor. For the most part, copy that you'll be writing for the internet needs to be short and to-the-point, usually in the neighborhood of 500-800 words per article.

Speak to your doctor prior to gaining any weight.  It's important to get your doctor's perspective on how much weight-gain is appropriate for you.  In addition, they may be able to refer you to a registered dietitian for additional one-on-one counseling.  Talk to your doctor about why you want to gain weight, how much weight you want to gain, and how you think it will improve your health. Visit the EatRight website and click on the orange "Find an Expert" button on the top right to search for a dietitian in your area. Before starting a new diet to help you gain weight, find out how much weight you want or need to gain.  This information will help determine your eating pattern and give you a timeline to track your progress.  One way to determine how much weight you should gain is to calculate your BMI.  You can use a a formula like this one or use an online calculator.  If your BMI is less than 18, this signifies that you are underweight and may need to gain weight.  Then calculate how much you would need to weigh to have your BMI fall between 19-24.9 (healthy/normal range).  The difference between these two values can give you some insight into an appropriate amount of weight gain. You can also calculate your body fat percentage or have your doctor, dietitian, or even a trainer at your local gym calculate this for you.  For an average woman, body fat percentage should fall between 25%–31%.  For an average man, body fat percentage should fall between 18%–25%.  If you exercise regularly or you are an athlete, your body fat percentage might be lower. In general, women's body fat percentage should never fall below 14% and men's shouldn't fall below 6%.  If your body fat percentage is low (especially if you're not an athlete), this may also indicate the need for weight gain. Ask your doctor what is an appropriate weight range for your gender, age, and height. When aiming to gain weight, your focus should be gaining lean muscle mass and minimize gains in body fat.  Large increases in body fat is not recommended....

, if need be. Relationships strain when one or both partners feel hurt – whether because of a fight, careless words, or long-term resentments. All relationships go through this to some extent. The important thing is to reach out and apologize when you’ve done wrong. Apologizing shows your commitment to your partner and the relationship.   To apologize well, you have to be sincere, specific, and recognize the hurt you caused. Accept your role in having damaged trust or respect in the relationship. This doesn’t mean accepting all responsibility, but owning up to your part.  Be sincere and specific. Only apologize to make amends and heal damage and not for some other ulterior reason. At the same time, be specific about what you are apologizing for and how it hurt the other person. For example, “I’m very sorry that I stormed off during our argument. I can see that it hurt you and made you feel humiliated. Please forgive me.” Avoid weasel-worded apologies. These don’t really accept any responsibility and come off as insincere, i.e. “I’m sorry if what I did offended you” or “I’m sorry if you took it the wrong way.” Don’t request an apology in return. Mutual forgiveness is important, but your partner may need time to process their feelings. Asking for an apology will only seem like a demand. An apology is only the first part of reaching out. It won’t fix things but can break the ice and start the healing process. Don’t be surprised if your partner reacts emotionally or even interrupts you. Resist the urge to interrupt and defend yourself, though, and instead be patient and respectful and listen.  Try not to react defensively or insist on “finishing” your side of the story. Your first urge may be to correct or refute your partner, but instead let them speak. By showing patience, you also let your partner speak openly without fear or reprisal and demonstrate that you’re serious about healing the rift. Keep in mind that the point of an apology is to heal the relationship. It is not about proving who was right and who...

TL;DR in English: Apologize Listen to your partner. Leave the door open, but don’t over-pursue.

Taking care of yourself weeks and even months prior to plastic surgery with good nutrition will help you to heal faster.  Also be sure to drink plenty of fluids and eat a balanced diet after surgery to help your body get the nutrients it needs to mend quickly.   Quit smoking to help speed up the healing process. Plastic surgery is generally done in hopes of altering one's appearance. However, it is important to note that a perceived "improvement" in appearance will not equate to perfection. There is only so much that can be done surgically to change one's appearance, so if you are expecting perfection you will be setting yourself up for disappointment.  Be careful that you do not have unrealistic hopes for plastic surgery or for the anticipated change.  Some people inadvertently seek out plastic surgery in hopes that it will "solve problems" in other areas of their life — for instance, in hopes that it may save a bad relationship, help their career prospects, cause them to be more popular in their circle of friends, or cause them to be more appealing on the dating scene. It is important to get honest with yourself about your expectations for the surgery, as well as the reasons you are doing it so as not to have your hopes too high and be disappointed. Your family and friends can be an important moral support, especially during the initial stages of healing. You may have pain, trouble completing ordinary tasks around the house, and/or potential feelings of disappointment as the positive results of your surgery will often not be seen fully until some healing has taken place, potentially months down the line. (In other words, plastic surgery tends to look worse before it looks better, as your body needs to heal the wounds and get rid of the swelling, so support during this time is key).  Depending upon how major of a surgery you underwent, you may have activity restrictions for the first while as you are recovering. If this is the case, your family and friends can help you with the tasks of day-to-day life that...

Lighten up your hair. Get the surfer wave in your locks. Mix and match your bikinis. Shop the surf brands. Add some jewelry. Go barefoot!

Many studies have shown that regular and consistent physical activity is the best way to fight fatigue and increase your energy.  Health professionals think that regular exercise helps increase the release of energy-promoting neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine which helps you beat the fatigue.  In addition, health professionals recommend doing at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity each day.  In addition to aerobic activity, also include a day or two of strength training to balance out your workouts. A well-balanced diet is very important for general health, but may also determine how you feel throughout the day.  A balanced diet is a way of eating in which you consume foods from every food group each day.  In addition, you should eat a wide variety of foods throughout the day. To help prevent fatigue you should make sure that all your meals are balanced as well. For example, big carbohydrate-rich meals (like a pancake breakfast or spaghetti for lunch), can leave you feeling tired and sluggish.  Include a source of lean protein, fruits or vegetables and a high fiber carbohydrate to help balance your energy levels. Sometimes, eating more often can help you balance out your body's blood sugar and energy levels throughout the day. Try eating four to six smaller meals daily.  These little meals can help provide your body with some nutrition and a small boost of energy throughout the day. Many people typically go for the three meals a day approach.  But if you need a snack during the day or have frequent afternoon slumps, try eating more often. In addition to eating multiple smaller meals throughout the day, make sure that your lunch-time meal is also small.  This may help with your afternoon energy levels.  Studies have shown that circadian rhythms are significantly different for those people who ate large meals at lunch.  These changes resulted in a more sluggish, tired feeling in the afternoons.  This is most likely from drops in blood sugar.  To minimize these effects, stick to smaller portions at...

TL;DR in English: Exercise regularly. Eat a balanced diet. Eat smaller, more frequent meals. Eat a small lunch. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Sleep seven to nine hours a night. Manage stress. Talk to your doctor.

It may seem easier to avoid the challenges in life than to face them head-on. But avoiding your problems will only lead to more problems down the road, which may result in your feeling a lack of control. The best way to deal with challenge and struggle in your life is to acknowledge it and face it.  Don't avoid dealing with your problems. Address them as they arise, and recognize that a given problem needs your attention. Think about the times you've faced your problems in the past. You no doubt walked away with a greater sense of purpose and a stronger sense of confidence. Remember this as you approach new and bigger problems, and take comfort in this fact. One of the best ways to feel content with the conditions of your life (no matter how challenging) is to practice accepting your situation as it is. Though you may wish things were easier (like having more money, a more secure job, or even better health), dwelling on what you don't have will not make living in the present any easier.  Remember that without hard times, you would not have as much appreciation for the good times. Accepting your life the way it is right now is the only way you can truly appreciate everything you have. Be grateful for the people in your life, no matter how difficult your life's circumstances may be at the moment. Recognize that everyone has similar struggles in some form or another. No life is without difficulty, but it is through perseverance and mindfulness that life becomes joyous and meaningful. It's not always easy to see the silver lining in unfortunate or challenging situations. But the reality of the situation is that struggle often leads to new insights about yourself, a new perspective on life, and even a renewed sense of purpose.  It will not be easy to see your problems as an opportunity for growth, but with mindfulness and a lot of practice, you'll quickly see that you do actually grow and develop from living through your challenges. Recognize and always remember that life is full of meaning. Just because you are...

TL;DR in English: Confront your struggles. Accept what you have, not what you want. Try to see problems as opportunities.

That is, focus on certain letters, and teach them the sound that coordinates with them. For instance, you can say, "'T' makes a 'tuh' sound. Can you hear it in words like 'tuh-able,' 'tuh-op,' and 'tuh-rycycle?'" Give kids a good foundation by helping them spell the words they commonly use correctly.  Teach your child to spell phonetically. Let them sound out words and write down the spelling as they think it sounds. Start with words that contain letters they already know the sounds for, which will help them make connections. Help them learn the correct spelling by having them re-write a word after they've spelled it out themselves. For instance, some worksheets encourage kids to write what's going on in a picture, while others give them a prompt to write their own story. Group words with similar patterns together, and have your kids learn to write them. One way to help them is to encourage them to use the words in a story. Let your child learn by what you do. As you make sentences, your child will learn to put words together, too.  You can take it one step farther by having your child "play along." That is, if you're writing a note to a friend, let your child write a not  to her friend. Engage your kids in their environment by asking them to describe it on paper. For example, give them an object to describe, such as a cup, and set a time limit. When the time limit is up, give them another object to describe that seems dissimilar, such as a cucumber. Let them describe it within a set limit. As the final part of the exercise, have them write about how the objects are similar, which asks them to make connections and engages them more fully. Give your child exercises that encourage him to write creatively, which makes it more fun. As an example, try putting a number of unusual words on strips of paper, though they should be words that your kid already knows, such as "tissue," "frozen," "flame," "stroke," and "fanning." Let your kid pick a couple of words from the group without looking. Have her write a poem that...

TL;DR in English: Teach sounds in connection with letters. Work on spelling. Use worksheets that encourage your kids to write. Help your kids learn English word patterns. Talk aloud while you're writing. Use description exercises. Try playing with poetry. Make writing a daily practice.

It sounds simple, but making and holding eye contact with a guy can give him just enough encouragement to take an interest in you.  When you're talking to him, make sure that you maintain eye contact. Try not to let your eyes wander, especially in the direction of another guy. You can even use eye contact to drive him crazy when you're standing on opposite sides of the room. Make eye contact with him, and after holding it for a few moments, drop your gaze. Slowly drag your eyes back up to meet his again, keeping a coy or flirty smile on your face as you do. It's the inside that counts, of course, but the outside gets seen first. When you're trying to make a guy crazy early on, wear clothes, makeup, and accessories that highlight your best features.  This does not mean that you should wear especially revealing or tight-fitting clothes. Revealing clothes will catch a guy's interest temporarily, but they probably won't drive him crazy for very long. A dress that shows a little leg or a blouse that hugs your body in all the right places can work wonders, but your appearance should scream “attractive” more than “sexy.” The idea is to make your body and your face look its best. If the clothes are something you objectively look amazing in even when you're not trying to capture a guy's heart, they will probably work for this goal, as well. After you've gotten to know the guy, it's time to drop your guard and pull out the casual clothes. This tells him that he has successfully broken through the barricade and wedged his way into your life.  The clothes you wear should still be clean, of course. A relaxed pair of jeans and a t-shirt make a nice casual look, but a shirt that's three sizes too big with a giant mustard stain on it may not be the best choice. After you've established a habit of dressing down, you should still dress up occasionally to reignite a few of the sparks he initially felt the first time he saw you. Spray a little perfume behind your ears or apply a scented lotion after a shower. When you smell...

TL;DR in English: Make eye contact. Dress yourself up. Dress down. Wear a signature scent. Dance. Play with your hair.

Surfers spend a lot of time in the sun, leaving them with that sun-kissed look to their hair.  Even if you don't spend as much time at the beach, you can get this same look in the salon.  Go for an overall lightening, but avoid getting too platinum. Highlights are a great way to make you hair look like it’s been in the sun. It seems amazing that surfers can get out of the ocean and when their hair dries, it looks effortlessly amazing.  The secret here is the salt water.  You can get this effect of crunchy waves by using a sea salt spray on your hair.  Towel dry your hair.  Spray on some sea salt spray, scrunch your hair with your hands, and let it air dry.  There are several sea salt sprays available.  Choose the one which most appeals to you.  Another option is making your own sea salt spray by mixing 1 cup of hot water with 1-2 teaspoons of sea salt (not table salt) and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a spray bottle.  Shake it well for a minute or two and its ready to use. A popular style for surfer girls is mixing up bold colors and prints.  This make sure you stand out in the crowd and represent your own style.  Surfer bikini bottoms tend to have a mid-rise cut to them.  The tops are focused on staying on and usually have a sporty look like a criss-crossed back or racerback, similar to a sports bra.  When mixing and matching, try using different patterns with the same color scheme, or similar patterns in different colors.  Try wearing a solid bikini bottom in a bold color, and matching it with a printed bikini top. There are a lot of surf brands which have clothing lines.  Some of the most popular brands are Billabong, Hurley, Rip Curl, Quiksilver, RVCA, and O’Neill.  Roxy is a popular female clothing line which is an offshoot of Quicksilver.  These brands provide high fashion, and high quality swimwear, which will keep you in fashion and a durable suit. Consider wearing a tank sporting one of these brand names with your bikini top underneath. Layer your wrist with bracelets!  Don’t be shy about adding 7...

Choose a cool, dark place for your bulb. Move the bulb to a warm, bright spot when it blossoms. Place your hyacinth in a brighter spot to help it fully bloom.

Create a center or side part, then using hair from each side of the part, create 2 rope braids. Pull the rope braids into a half-up ponytail at about ear level. Gather all of your hair into a low ponytail, and use it to make a fishtail braid.  Make the rope braids sit low on the back of your head, right where it starts to curve into your nape. Tuck a fancy comb or tiny flowers into the joint just above the gathered rope braids. Use a clear hair elastic for securing the rope braids; you don’t want that to be visible. Create a deep side part first. The, starting on the thicker side of the part, begin to French braid down the side of your head, across the back, and toward the other side of your nape. Finish with a regular braid, then secure it with a hair elastic.  Keep the sections large and loose for a gentler look. For more volume, gently pull on the outer loops of the regular braid. Add a hair accessory that matches your jewelry into the end of the braid to make it look more fancy. Create a deep side part. Then, starting from the thicker side of the part, begin a French braid. Continue French braiding down the side of your head, then pull everything into a low ponytail and finish off with a fishtail braid. Keep the sections on the French braid large and loose. You want them to gently sweep across your hairline. Part your hair into 5 sections. Take the first section on the left, and weave it over and under the next 2 sections. Next, take the last section on the right, and weave it over and under the previous sections. Keep going until you reach the end of your hair, then secure it with a hair elastic.  For a more elegant touch, part your hair off to the side. Drape the braid over your shoulder. Secure the middle of each section with a clear elastic, then move the elastics down as you braid. At the end, pull those elastics off. This will help you keep track. Hold strands 1 and 2 in your left hand, and strands 4 and 5 in your right. Leave strand 3 hanging in the middle. Create a deep side part, then do a simple...

TL;DR in English: Merge a pair of rope braids into a fishtail braid for an intricate look. Do a side part, then create a French braid for something more elegant. Start a French braid, then finish off with a fishtail braid. Try a fancy 5-strand braid if you want lots of volume. Dress up a simple side braid.

A popular look is the combination of the casual hoodie with something a little fancier, like a dress or miniskirt. The contrast creates an edgy vibe that trendsetters lean toward. Try wearing a zip-up fleece hoodie with a long flowing dress with a girly print, such as a floral. To up the contrast even more, add a pair of combat boots. You can also try it with a short, flouncy cocktail dress or lace skirt. Hoodies make great outerwear all by themselves, but they can look more stylish (and keep you even warmer) if you wear one under a nice jacket. Try wearing a black hoodie underneath a black leather jacket. Make sure you pull out the hood, so that it’s visible and hangs down in the back, on top of the jacket.  If black leather isn’t your style, try wearing a gray hoodie under a denim jacket. It’s important that you still pull out the hood so that it’s visible, though. This is another trendy style that uses contrast to make a statement. Opt for a slim-fit hoodie, and pair it with skinny jeans or pants that are structured to have a well-tailored look, such as dress trousers. You can even make a slim-fit black hoodie work at the office if you wear it with a pair of nice dress slacks in a neutral color, like gray. The hoodie gives your overall look an athletic-wear vibe while still creating a sleek silhouette that looks dressy enough to be considered business casual.

TL;DR in English: Pair it with a dress or skirt. Wear a zip-up hoodie under a black leather biker jacket. Wear it with skinny jeans or dress trousers.

Financial experts encourage people to sock away at least six months of expenses in case of emergencies. If your car breaks down or if you lose your job, this money can tide you over. If possible, build up to twelve months of savings. Visit your nearest bank or credit union and open a savings account. You can also open an online savings account.  Start small. You might only have $5 a week to contribute to your emergency fund. However, at the end of the year, you’ll have $260 saved. If possible, increase the amount you save each month by cutting expenses or increasing your income. Remember to start building your fund right away. Don’t wait until you’ve paid off all of your credit card debt. Instead, you’ll need a cash cushion right now. Contribute at least a little each pay period to your emergency fund. Once you get some breathing room, you can begin to think about the future. Everyone can begin saving for their retirement. If your employer sponsors a retirement plan, then sign up. Some employers offer to match your contributions up to a certain amount.  If your employer doesn’t offer a retirement plan, then you can buy your own. Open a traditional IRA and make pre-tax contributions. This will lower your overall tax burden. Also consider opening a Roth IRA. Although you have to pay taxes on your contributions, they will compound tax-free. When you reach age 59.5, you can withdraw without paying taxes on the income. You can also withdraw your contributions penalty-free (and tax-free) if you face a sudden cash crunch. At some point, you might get an unexpected raise or a tax refund. In these situations, you need to avoid blowing all of the money on a trip to Vegas. Instead, do the following:  Splurge no more than 10% on something fun. If you get a $2,000 rebate check, limit your spending to $200.  Use some of the money (30-40%) to increase your emergency fund if you don’t yet have 12 months of expenses saved. Also funnel about 50% of the money to pay off debts. If your debts have all been paid off, then invest...

Place the hyacinth bulb and vase in a cool and dark area (40-55º F), such as your garage or refrigerator. Keep cool for roughly 4 weeks, or until the hyacinth's root system has developed in the water of the jar and growth from the top of the bulb has begun.  As previously mentioned, do not store your hyacinths in a refrigerator with fruits. The gas from fruits will damage your hyacinth's growth.  Change the container's water twice per week. Keeping fresh water in your vase will help your hyacinth to bloom fully and beautifully. Your hyacinth needs to be transferred to a warmer, somewhat brighter place (50-60º F) once it is ready. You'll know the hyacinth is ready to be moved once the foliage has grown to be about 2 inches tall and the root system has extended to the bottom of the vase. Keep the bulbs in this location for about a week, or until its shoots have turned green. Move the hyacinth plant to a warmer location (roughly 65º F) so that it will fully bloom. Hyacinths reach toward sunlight, so turn your vase daily to prevent the plant from leaning in one direction. After 2 weeks or so, your hyacinths will be fully fragrant and bloomed, and should last for another 2 weeks before they begin to wilt.  Although you want to move the hyacinth to a brighter location, avoid direct sunlight. To make your bloom last longer, place your hyacinth plant in the refrigerator at night. Enjoy the fragrance of the plant. Once the hyacinth flowers have bloomed, their scent will be beautiful. Throw out the bulbs once the hyacinth has died. Water forcing uses all of the energy that bulbs have to offer, and the bulbs will be too weak to re-bloom. You'll have to get more bulbs to grow more hyacinths.
