Identify the beat of a song. Divide the beats into measures. When you listen to or sing Old McDonald, the emphasis falls on the words "Old" and "had". Count the beats per measure. Do your best to determine the bottom number.

You'll need to offer a different tip depending on the service provided.  Add 5% to 10% extra onto the tip already included in the bill at a restaurant. At a hotel, tip the housekeeper $1 per day and the porter $1 per bag. Tip the concierge $10 to $20 per service. Tip cab drivers 10% to 15% and guides $20 per day. The tip amount will vary depending on where and who you're tipping.  At restaurants, add a shekel per customer to the tip already included in the bill. At a hotel, give a shekel or two when asking for a small favor. Porters get six shekels per bag, and housekeepers get three to six shekels per day. Taxi drivers should get 10% to 15% and tour guides should receive 90 to 120 shekels per person per day. Tour guides who also act as drivers get 120 to 150 shekels. As with most countries, tip amount varies depending on the service provided.  Tips are not included in the bill at restaurants here, so you should tip 10% to 15% of your bill. At hotels, offer the concierge $20 to $25 when you first arrive. Porters receive $1 to $2 per bag, and housekeepers receive $2 per day. Guides should get a tip of $10 per person per day for individual tours and small groups, or $7 per person per day for large groups. Drivers should get $5 per person per day, and a driver's assistant should get $2 per person per day.

TL;DR in English: Know how to tip in Egypt. Learn how to tip in Israel. Tip correctly in Saudi Arabia.

When a person goes through a difficult time, such as the loss of a loved one or job loss, they usually have a swell of support. As time passes, other people move on and continue their lives, leaving the person in distress to fend for themselves. You should check in every week with the person you sympathize with to be sure that they are still doing well. This does not have to be an awkward check in. You could simply have coffee with them once a week and say things like “So how are doing this week?” . Your friend may need to talk about what they are experiencing. Let your friend know you are available to listen, and make it clear they have your undivided attention. Put away electronics like your phone and turn off the television or other distractions. Make eye contact, nod and make sounds where appropriate (such as "Uh huh," or "I see,") to show that you are listening. Put aside judgement and don't think about your response or what you think they should have done/should be doing. Let them talk and don't interrupt. Don't rush the person. They may not be ready to talk, or it may take them a while to articulate their thoughts. People often judge others harshly if they do not remove themselves from a bad situation (such as a hostile relationship) or “get over” a tragic event (such as a death in the family) in a certain time frame. Keep in mind that everyone fights their own battles on their own time, and it is not your place to decide when or how someone else moves to the next phase of their life. Remain caring and compassionate toward the person you sympathize with and reserve judgment for how the deal with their situation. This does not mean that you have to condone any behavior that they exhibit. You are free to cut ties with the person if/when the connection becomes unhealthy for you. Aside from frequent check-ins, you should make it clear that you are available to the other person any time they need someone to lean on. Answer their calls, texts, emails, etc. and be willing to help them do chores or other daily...

TL;DR in English: Check in every week. Be a good listener Avoid judgement. Make yourself available to help.

You should do this as soon after the interview as possible, from your smartphone on the way out of the building, as soon as you get home, or at least the same evening as the interview. This shows the interviewer that you are both enthusiastic and organized and ensures that they will not forget you as a candidate.  Include your full name, phone number, mailing address and email address on the note. Also, make sure this email doesn’t go to a spam folder by writing “Job interview follow up for (your name)” in the subject line. If you leave it too long before writing your thank you note, you risk looking uninterested in the job while also giving another candidate the opportunity to get there before you. If there was a particular person who helped you to set up the job interview, you should remember to send them a note also. Some people advise writing a thank you note by hand. While some interviewers will appreciate this, it is somewhat outdated and other interviewers may regard it as being unprofessional. As a result, an email or typed note is your safest option in this scenario. These notes will be useful during a second interview to help you recall topics of conversation and any qualifications or personality traits that your interviewer emphasized as being important for this position.  They will help you to tailor your responses should you be called to a second interview, or may give you some indication of where you went wrong if you are not. The notes will also help you to refer to more specific points in your follow-up thank you letter and give an indication that you really took on board everything that the interviewer said. Asking your interviewer to connect on LinkedIn is a completely appropriate move, if executed correctly. You don't want it to look like your motives are purely selfish or that you're over-confident about getting the job. Instead, send a simple message which states exactly who you are and refers to some topic or point that was raised during the interview, before asking if they would like to...

TL;DR in English: Send a thank you note by email. Make notes about the interview while it is still fresh in your mind. Ask to connect on LinkedIn.

One of the initial and most common symptoms of peripheral neuropathy that diabetics notice is that their feet lose sensation and become numb. It can start in the toes and then progress to the rest of the foot and the leg in a stocking-like distribution. Usually both feet are affected, although one side may begin first or be more noticeable than the other.  Related to the numbness is a reduced ability to feel pain from excessive temperatures (both hot and cold). Because of this, diabetics are at greater risk of getting scalded from a hot bath or getting frostbite during the winter. Chronic numbness can prevent a diabetic from knowing when their foot is cut, blistered or otherwise injured. This phenomenon is very common in diabetics, and can result in the foot becoming infected. Sometimes, the neuropathy is so bad that the foot is infected for a long time before the person realizes it, and the infection can get deep into the tissue and even affect the bone. This can require a long course of IV antibiotics and can be potentially life-threating. Peripheral neuropathy symptoms, such as numbness, are usually worse at night while in bed. Another common symptom is uncomfortable sensations, such as tingling, pins and needles and/or burning pain. Such sensations can feel similar to those when circulation returns to your foot after it has been "asleep." The uncomfortable sensations, called paresthesia, range from mild to severe and don't usually affect both feet equally.  Tingling and burning sensations usually begin on the bottom (soles) of the feet, although they can also progress up the legs. These strange sensations can sometimes mimic a fungal infection (Athlete's foot) or an insect bite, although the diabetic foot is typically not as itchy. Peripheral neuropathy in the feet develops because there's too much sugar (glucose) in the blood, which is toxic and destructive to small nerve fibers. Another alteration of foot sensations that develops in a minority of diabetics is an increase in sensitivity to touch. So...

TL;DR in English: Be aware of any numbness in your feet. Be alert to tingling and burning sensations. Take note of increased sensitivity to touch, called hyperesthesia. Pay attention to cramps or sharp pains.

Every song has a beat, or a steady pulse. As you listen to the song, tap your toes or snap your fingers along to the beat.  Let's use Old McDonald as an example. As you listen to or sing the song, you would tap your toes at the words "Old" + "Mc" + "Don-" + "ald" + "Had" + "A" + "Farm" "(rest)". Remember, beats are grouped into measures. The time signature at the start of the piece determines how many beats appear in each measure and which type of note receives the beat. Sometimes a note falls on the beat, other times a rest lands on the beat. Measures, or bars, group beats together. Each measure contains the same number of beats. As you listen to the song, keep your ear tuned to the start of a new measure, or bar. This is usually indicated by a strong emphasis on a note (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 | ). The emphasis is usually something you "feel." "Old" + "Mc" + "Don-" + "ald" | "Had" + "A" + "Farm" + "(rest)" | On a musical score, a single vertical line separates 1 measure from another. If the time signature changes in the middle of the song, the number of beats in each bar will change too. Once you've divided the beats into even measures, count the number of beats between each set of bars. This number will be the top number of the time signature. In Old McDonald, there are 4 beats per measure. Figuring out the bottom number requires some guess work. Base your guess on the speed of the song's beats. If the beats seem slow, the bottom number is probably "2". If the beats seem fast, the bottom number is likely "8". If the beats seem to pass at a medium speed (60 beats per minute), the bottom number is probably "4". In Old McDonald, the beats pass at a medium rate. The bottom number is "4". This song is in 4/4 or common time, so named because it is the most common meter for a song

TL;DR in English:


Identify the stressors that make you want to escape your life. Let go of expectations put on you by others. Re-decorate your living space. Create a schedule to help optimize your time. Adopt healthy habits. Take up a new hobby. Start a new job or career if your job is making you want to escape. Go back to school. Move to a new apartment or a new city. Confront relationship problems, if you have them.

Wash the glass with warm, soapy water, then rinse it off. Dry the glass with a towel. To help the paint stick better, it would be a good idea to wipe the glass down with rubbing alcohol too, although that is not absolutely necessary. Fill the bottle halfway with water, and the rest of the way with white vinegar. Close the bottle, then shake it to combine the solution. Choose a spray bottle that has a mist option; don't use a bottle that squirts water out like a water gun. Pour some of your paint onto a disposable tray or palette. Dip the brush into the paint, then tap it on a paper towel to get the excess off. Pounce or tap the brush against the glass to apply a patchy layer of paint. Hold the vase or jar from the inside so that you don't get your fingers dirty. Work quickly, as acrylic paint only takes a few minutes to dry. Hold the vase or jar from the inside, and spray it with your vinegar solution. Apply a light, even coating; you want the solution to bead on the glass without dripping. Don't wait for the paint to set up like you would with spray paint. The acrylic layer is thin, so it will dry fast. Take a paper towel and crumple it up into a ball. Pat the glass dry with the paper towel; do not rub the towel across the glass. The paper towel will remove some of the paint and leave behind a crinkled texture. Keep applying layers of paint, spraying it, and dabbing it until you get the coverage you want. With each layer, you'll notice the glass becoming more and more opaque. Allow each layer to dry first before doing the next one, however. Consider using gold paint for your second layer. This will help make it look more realistic and antique. Most acrylic craft paint will be dry to the touch within 15 to 20 minutes. If the paint still feels tacky, you might have gotten enamel or all-purpose craft paint. This means that the paint needs to cure for several days. Check the label on your bottle of paint for complete drying instructions.

TL;DR in English: Wash and dry a glass vase or jar. Fill a spray bottle with equal parts of water and vinegar. Pat silver acrylic craft paint onto the glass with an old toothbrush. Spray the glass with your vinegar solution before the paint dries. Dab the solution off with a crumpled up paper towel. Repeat the painting, spraying, and dabbing process, if desired. Allow the paint to dry completely.

The exact frequency of your grooming sessions will depend largely on how fast your facial hair grows. That being said, most men will want to pull out their clippers about twice a month. If you have thick, unruly hair, you may even benefit from weekly trimmings.  With regular practice, keeping your moustache properly groomed and finding a length and style that compliments your face will become second nature. Even men with longer moustaches should be checking regularly for stray hairs and cumbersome, overgrown patches. It’s essential to treat your facial hair with the same tender loving care you do your hair on top. To keep your moustache silky smooth, invest in quality products that clean and moisturize. You may find yourself surprised by how much of a difference a couple extra minutes in the shower can make.  For the sake of convenience, you can also pick up a two-in-one shampoo and conditioner. You can get away with washing your moustache less often than your head hair. In most cases, 3-5 times a week should be enough to keep it fluffy and supple. Daily exfoliation clears dirt-clogged pores and helps remove dry, flaky dead skin. As a result, your face will look and feel healthier. This is especially important if your facial hair is a darker color, as the contrast will make flakes more visible. Get in the habit of washing your face with an exfoliant after your morning shower, or just before you go to bed at night. Extravagant styles like handlebar or curly-cues are a breeze to pull off with the aid of a wax or similar low-hold styling product. Just work a dime-sized amount through your moustache from root to tip, then coax it into whatever shape you please. Since waxes never dry out, they’ll be strong enough to provide a sturdy all-day hold.  Many natural moustache waxes (often made with beeswax or other organic derivatives) come with the added benefit of conditioning and waterproofing facial hair, leaving it soft, nourished, and protected from high humidity and freak rainstorms.  Avoid using too much product...

TL;DR in English: Trim your moustache every 1-2 weeks. Shampoo and condition your moustache. Scrub with an exfoliating face wash. Use a dab of wax for effortless styling.

ACV is an astringent, meaning it constricts body tissues.  It serves as a great base for mixing kitchen ingredients that can battle the bugs. Add 32oz of apple cider vinegar to 2 Tbsp each of the following herbs sage, rosemary, lavender, thyme and mint.  Shake it each day for two weeks, then strain the herbs and dilute the oil mixture with water.  Use sparingly, this is supposed to be a strong one! If the vinegar base is too dense, or has too strong a smell for you, distilled water works well.  Boil water with 3-4 Tbsps of any of the following dried herbs: peppermint, spearmint, citronella, lemongrass, or catnip.  Use whichever combo you prefer.  Once it's mixed, let it cool down before straining.  Add in a bit of rubbing alcohol and you have a great mix. The spice comes from the turmeric plant, commonly found in curry.  Sometimes it's used in powders, mustards, and butters for its strong flavor and taste.  In lab studies, adding just 5% vanillin to various ingredients, including turmeric, increased ability to repel mosquitoes for up to 8 hours.  Try combining the two ingredients, 95% turmeric and 5% vanillin, to replicate the mixture.  Or experiment with varying combinations until you gain the greatest effectiveness. Turmeric has been used as an insect repellent in Indian families for generations.  Make the repellent by grinding turmeric together with navadhanya grains and water.  Once that paste is combined, add some slaked lime, which is essentially limewater, until the color turns red.  Use pure turmeric sprinkled where you want to deter pests.  The high curcumin content in turmeric hinders the insects' access to oxygen, and the antimicrobial aspects create an unendurable environment for bedbugs.  Mix turmeric powder and neem leaf powder together. Mix with water to form a paste. Smear over uncovered flesh.  The neem leaf has shown the ability to not only repel insects near the tree, but also disrupt insect breeding nearby.  This natural insect repellent combo will keep insects at bay for an hour or more....

TL;DR in English: Use apple cider vinegar (ACV) as a base for herbs. Mix herbs with distilled water. Combine turmeric with various ingredients to make an effective repellent. Use dish washing liquid to make homemade spider repellents.

When placing the box into your window, make sure that it fits flush and does not wiggle or fall out.  Remove the screen before placing your box into the window frame. The sash filler you built into the bottom your box should accommodate the ridges of the windowsill, fitting together like two pieces of a puzzle. The catch on the top of your box (created by the vertical and horizontal window catches) should provide a snug place for the bottom edge of the window to slide down into. If the box fits well in the window, you can now secure your AC unit to the box.  On the top flange of the AC unit, there should be a single hole meant for one screw. This is usually used to attach the AC unit to the window frame, but in this case you should put a screw through the hole into your box. Using a putty knife, smooth some Spackle over the screw holes to make them look natural and flush.  Make the holes smooth with a putty knife. Let it dry. Sand it down to make it smooth. Fill the edges with caulking to provide a seal against drafts and to keep your cold air in your house.  Caulking the edges makes sure that the AC unit does not leak air. Make sure you want to keep the AC in the box before you caulk, because this can make it a semi-permanent fixture. Priming and painting the box will make sure that it can withstand the test of time.  Let the primer dry for an hour if there is low air humidity. This will make sure that rain and humidity do not rot your wood box.

TL;DR in English: Place your box in the window to ensure a snug fit. Attach the AC unit to the box with a single screw. Fill the screw holes in with Spackle. Caulk the edges to provide a seal against outside air. Prime every surface of the wood to make the box weatherproof.

When you feel the need to escape often, this could be a sign that you need to make changes. You may be overwhelmed or burnt out. Alternatively, you may be living your life according to someone else’s expectations rather than your own. Talk out your issues with a therapist or someone you trust. You can also journal your feelings.  You may need to do some job hunting or change careers. If your relationship is troubled, you could try counseling or consider moving on. You may feel like your hometown isn’t the right place for you to spread your wings. In that case, you could set aside money to start over somewhere new. You may feel bored or confined in your daily routine. In that case, mix things up by creating a new routine or pick up a new hobby. If you feel like your life is just school or work, you might try some new hobbies. Take up an instrument, enroll in an art class, join a recreational sports league, find a book club, etc. Everyone has different values in life, and sometimes people force those values on others in order to help them. Unfortunately, it’s not always helpful. It’s possible that you want to escape your life because you’ve chosen a job, course of study, home, or hobbies to please others and not yourself. Your opinion is the only one that matters, however, and it’s important to live life how you want.  Ask yourself what you truly want in life.  Identify your values and make sure you’re upholding them. If you're not sure what your values are, consider what makes you feel happy, fulfilled, or proud. Make changes in your life if you find things that are mismatched from what you really want. Try to make it as different as possible. If you can, paint the walls, add wallpaper, or use decal stickers. Rearrange your furniture, switch up your decor, and create a whole new look.  Choose a look that’s inspired by your dream life. For example, if you dream of living in Paris, your could hang up a nice print of the Eiffel Tower and a quote in French. If you dream of reading on a terrace, fill a bookcase...

For many, masculinity is a symbol of absolute power and too often, femininity is seen as a form of weakness or a subordinate status. However, you must look past this state of mind and celebrate the many unique strengths of femininity.  The Divine Feminine: Many believe becoming a goddess means awakening the Divine Feminine or following the feminine principles of being nurturing, loving, compassionate, of insight, intuition, creativity, forgiveness, healing, and wisdom. Build a space where you can disconnect from the busyness and demands of your social life.  This space can be a cozy room, a reading nook, or a quiet corner. Fill your safe space with items that symbolize the goddess you want to be. It can be a picture or an object that represents your goddess. Add relaxing items like candles, incense, a water fountain, plants and flowers, or spiritual crystals and stones. Journal, pray, or daydream in this space. Do things that relax you and allow you to reflect and nurture yourself. In order to find your inner goddess, it’s important that you find peace within yourself.  Don’t try to fill up a void or emptiness through external means (like being obsessed with vanity, greed, or lust to feel better about yourself). Don’t focus on things you can’t change. Instead, accept it for what it is and you will be able to relieve yourself from the stresses of worrying about a situation you can’t change. Don’t deny your emotions. Acknowledge them as valid and something worthwhile to feel and explore. Meditation has many benefits psychologically and physiologically. The purpose of meditation is to clear your mind from distractions and give you more control over your own mind and body. It can lower stress levels, decrease your heart rate, build self-confidence, and increase creativity. Many women meditate as a way of connecting to their inner goddess.  Try a simple breathing meditation to start. Sit cross-legged or in a comfortable position. Close your eyes halfway and focus exclusively on the natural way you breathe. Become...

TL;DR in English: Embrace the power of femininity. Create a safe space for yourself where you can relax and feel comfortable. Accept and listen to your own feelings and emotions. Meditate. Connect with Mother Nature. Take care of your body by eating healthy and pampering it.

If you experience hyperpigmentation there are a number of possible treatments for you to consider. These include topical creams including retinoids and corticosteriods. Drugs which block the production of melanin may be prescribed. Treatments which effect melanin formation are currently consider the most successful. Before deciding on any treatments, speak to your doctor or dermatologist to discuss the possibilities and what might be most suited to you. Due to the commonness of hyperpigmentation and the potential of the medical treatments to irritate your skin, people have been looking for natural alternative treatments. Some natural ingredients in topical treatments have been shown to have benefits in laboratory tests, such as soy. Natural and home remedies are never completely reliable, but citrus juice and aloe vera are cited as potentially good ingredients to use in topical treatments.  Make a mask with aloe vera, seaweed and honey and let it rest on your face for ten minutes before rinsing off. Alternatively try mixing lemon juice with honey and milk and use this as a face mask. If you are struggling to lighten dark patches on your face, you may want to consider further treatment options that go beyond topical creams and natural remedies. It's recommended that you speak to your doctor or dermatologist who will be able to advise you on specific treatments. One common treatment is a chemical peel. This is a harsher treatment than topical creams and involves you applying a liquid chemical solution, such as glycolic acid, to your skin.  A chemical peel may be advised if other treatments prove ineffectual. Dermabrasion or microdermabrasion treatments may also be recommended. In some cases an light therapy or laser treatment might be used to target discoloured areas of skin.

TL;DR in English: Consider possible medical treatments. Try some natural remedies. Ask about further procedures.

He or she needs to speak in a way that holds the audience’s attention. Many children speak much too quietly at first; you may have to encourage your child to speak in a loud, clear voice. Remind your child that he or she wants the audience to hear every word. Your child should speak slowly, but not so slowly that the audience gets bored. If he or she speaks too quickly, the audience will have trouble following the speech. Long speeches can be tiring, and if your child is nervous, he or she may be breathing too quickly and heavily. Encourage deep, slow breaths, which will calm your child down and make the speech clearer. If your child will be speaking for a long time, he or she will probably experience a dry mouth. Taking a drink of water periodically will help. You can also tell your child to take sips of water strategically. If he or she momentarily forgets part of the speech, a drink of water can buy some time. Instruct your child to look at the audience members and connect with them. It’s much less effective to stare at some imaginary point in the distance. Help your child remember to stand up straight and speak calmly and loudly while looking at the audience. Hand gestures can help, but you also don’t want your child to gesture nervously and wildly. Your child may worry about someone in the audience behaving rudely or about not being able to keep the audience’s attention. He or she may also be concerned about making a mistake. Encourage your child to ignore any rudeness in the audience and to simply smile and fix any errors he or she makes. The best public speakers are confident speakers who know that they have mastered their material. Remind your child that he or she has a good speech and has practiced sufficiently to master it – he or she is prepared to succeed!

TL;DR in English: Teach your child that public speaking is a kind of performance. Work on volume. Consider speed. Remind your child to breathe deeply. Suggest that your child keep a glass of water nearby. Emphasize the importance of eye contact. Pay attention to body language. Brainstorm with your child about how to deal with difficult situations. Build your child’s confidence.

Libraries were added in Windows 7, and they allow you to quickly locate your files that are spread out across a variety of folders. They were carried over into Windows 8, but the Windows 8.1 update hides them from view. They're not gone though; they just need to be re-enabled. You can open the File Explorer by clicking the File Explorer icon in the taskbar, or by pressing ⊞ Win+E  Your libraries will now appear beneath "This PC" in the sidebar.

When writing letters to celebrities, you have to make sure that your letter stands out and shows them that it is worth replying to. Skip the formality of typing your letters and sit down to handwrite one instead. Flesh your letter out by sharing ways you appreciate the celebrity and how their career influences you personally. Choose two or three different moments in their career that you admire and make sure you’re genuine in your praise and enthusiasm.  Format your letter, starting it off with: Dear [Person’s Full Name]. Structure your letter into three paragraphs.  In the first paragraph, you will compliment their talent and achievements. Celebrities can tell when you’re being insincere so make sure it’s a celebrity whose career you follow and admire so that you have a lot to talk about. In the second paragraph, you will list your favorite work of theirs or something that really strikes you about their career. Showing them how much you know about their films and that you’ve followed the characters they’ve played will speak volumes of how much of a fan you are. In the third, you will request to be sent an autograph or to have an item autographed. Tell them how appreciative you would be if they were to give you your autograph and make sure you thank them. Give them best wishes and close with your signature. Place your signed letter into a 9x12 envelope so that the celebrity can send an 8x10 signed photo if they choose to do so. Also include a self-addressed 9x12 envelope in the packaging with your letter.  Take things a step further by making things even more convenient for the celeb in question. Include the photo or item you want them to sign in the package. If you are looking to collect autographs, include another item (a photo, a paper, a book, a card) in your package for the celebrity to sign. This will make authenticating the signature easier because you will have a reference to compare the signature to.

TL;DR in English: Craft your letter with a personal touch. Show your knowledge of the celebrity you’re writing to. Prepare your letter to be sent.

If you are able to discuss a sale face to face, take the opportunity. Displaying your personality gives you a greater chance of completing a transaction than words or phone calls do. An in-person meeting means an opportunity to respond to the other person’s body language.  For an online sale, say something like, “Would you like to come look at the item?” For comfort, invite them to a public place. Try to have the conversation at an opportune time, such as after a meal or another time when the person is in a good mood. Rather than  simply discussing the item, bring the customer to it. Let them hold it, feel it, or even give it a test run. This gives the customer a chance to observe the item’s qualities, making them more likely to buy it. For example, car dealerships let their customers test drive cars. Many retail stores have changing rooms where you can put on clothing before making a decision. Look the person in the eye and speak with a loud, steady voice. To do this, know what you want to say in advance. Practice it at home as needed until you feel comfortable saying it. Avoid going overboard with enthusiasm, since that makes you seem false.  Avoid using filler words like “uh” and “um.” Talk like you would with anyone else. Let your enthusiasm build naturally as you discuss the product. Pay attention to what the other person has to say. If you stop listening, you may get caught up in whatever sales pitch you rehearsed. Remember to meet the person on their level, staying friendly and responding to any concerns they have. If someone goes off on a tangent about a fishing trip, engage them on it. A car salesperson might then say, “This truck would have given you plenty of room to store your equipment.” Matching the other person’s behavior makes them feel more comfortable. Simply talk like they do and use the same body language. This also forces you to pay attention to the other person speaking, which helps you be more convincing when it’s your turn to speak. For example, if someone uses a lot of hand gestures...

TL;DR in English: Meet the person face to face. Let the potential buyer handle the product. Speak with confidence but stay relaxed. Listen to the other person speak. Mirror the other person’s behavior. Negotiate with the other person. Thank the person for their time. Come back later if a person says no.

Rather than hanging with the crowd that always lands in detention, find friends who keep up with their grades and participate in appropriate after-school activities. Look for classmates who share your interests, and spend time with them. For instance, if you love comic books, find a few friends who share your passion. You could even start a comic book club after school. A great way to stay out of trouble is to get involved at school. Join the student council/government or look for other ways to help out. Volunteer to organize a school event, such as a dance or fundraiser. You could also reach out to a coach and see if they could use your help managing a team or club. Many schools put on a play during the spring. See how you can get involved. They often need people to help out with the costumes, props, and sets. When you have a lot of free time on your hands, it can be easy to get into trouble. The best thing to do is to stay busy. Join a sports team or a school club so that you have activities after school. You can also get a job, which will keep you busy as well as provide you with some extra cash.  For example, join the softball team, the art club, the swim team, or the drama club. As for jobs, offer to babysit your neighbor’s children, mow lawns in your neighborhood, or apply for work at a local ice cream shop or restaurant, or even go to the park to let yourself let loose.

TL;DR in English: Choose your friends wisely. Get involved at school. Stay busy after school.

Deleting startup programs without knowing what they are can lead to certain applications not functioning properly.  Before making changes that you are unsure of, use System Restore to create a “restore point” that you can revert to if something goes wrong.  Many startup items have names that are somewhat descriptive, but others are obscure abbreviations, and have functions that are difficult to identify. This may require some time, as it requires you to search for each file or process individually. Some helpful lists include:  Process Library: winner of PC Magazine’s Top 100 Classic Websites, 195k+ entries.  Pacman’s Portal; an online startup program database containing more than 35K entries There are many free, popular programs that can cleanup startup items for you, including items in the system registry.  These programs often contain databases that are updated to include frequently occurring unnecessary items, as well as other tools to improve your computer’s performance.  As always, do ample research to find reputable programs to avoid damaging your computer. Some popular programs include: CCleaner Virtuoza In Control Should I remove it?

Decide how long you want the skirt to be, and add 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) to it. Consider blind stitching the hem.

All right, now that you've got the meat of it together, how do you put it onto paper? Well, for starters, cut it to length. It should be a page long at most, if that. No one's going to waste time on 5 paragraphs unless you're covering WWIII. Here's what you need (some of which we've already covered):   FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE should go at the top of the page, on the left margin. If the release is embargoed, put "EMBARGOED UNTIL..." with the date you want the story released. A release with no release date is presumed to be for immediate release.  The headline, usually in bold, should be centered below that. If you'd like, put a subhead in italics (briefly elaborating the headline).   First paragraph: most important information. May be quite news-like in that, it starts with a date or where the news is coming from.  Second (and probable third) paragraph:  secondary information. Should include quotes and facts.  Boilerplate information: more on your company. Who are you, really? What achievements do you have? What's your mission?  Contact information: more on the writer (probably you!). If you grab someone's interest, they'll want to be able to find out more!  Multimedia: in today's day and age, there's always some Twitter handle to be had. That means it's time to include information about your company. When a journalist picks up your press release for a story, he or she would logically have to mention the company in the news article. Journalists can then get the company information from this section.  The title for this section should be "About [XYZ_COMPANY]." After the title, use a paragraph or two to describe your company with 5 or 6 lines each. The text must describe your company, its core business and the business policy. Many businesses already have professionally written brochures, presentations, business plans, etc. That introductory text can be put here. At the end of this section, point to your website. The link should be the exact and complete URL without any embedding so that, even if this page is...

TL;DR in English: Get the basic structure down. Write a boilerplate underneath the body of your release. Add your contact information. If possible, include a link to an online copy of the same release. Signal the end of the press release with three # (hash) symbols.

. Have you seen someone who couldn't seem to stop tapping his foot, twirling his pencil, or doing some other sort of repetitive motion while he was trying to focus on a task? If so, you've seen a good example of fidgeting; short, repetitive physical behaviors that sometimes prove to  increase focus, especially for tasks that require long, uninterrupted attention. For instance, a doctor in one clinical example found it easier to concentrate while chewing gum during operations.  Keep in mind, however, that some types of fidgeting can be distracting to other people, especially in quiet situations (like standardized testing rooms.) Try to use subtle fidgeting behaviors that don't produce any noise and aren't visually distracting. Tapping your toes inside your shoe is just one great choice. Another good idea is to take every opportunity you get to work while moving. For instance, if you're at home, don't do your work sitting silently at a desk. Instead, try working at a high counter-top, while standing and swaying from side to side. For hands-free tasks (like taking important telephone calls and listening to audio recordings), you can even try walking or pacing. Having a dirty desk isn't just bad Feng shui. It can also be a serious impediment to your ability to focus. Research has found that having a cluttered workspace decreases focus. As the many different objects in your field of vision compete for your attention, your brain is forced to divide its focus between all of them, rather than focusing only on important objects (like, for instance, the blank test page in front of you.) Thus, if you struggle with focusing, it's a great idea to get into the habit of cleaning your work area before you dive into an important task. It's common knowledge that some people prefer to work while listening to music, including people with ADHD. Recent research, however, has actually clarified that listening to music can encourage activity in a region of the brain called the Default Mode Network which is partially responsible for...

TL;DR in English: Fidget Keep your work area clean and clear. Try listening to music while you work. Try talking to someone about your work. Make to-do lists. Keep a clear, defined schedule. Adhere to healthy habits.

When you're going out at night, even if you're just going around the corner, it's a good idea to carry some form of communication, so you'll be able to be in touch in an emergency. Make sure that you've got a fully-charged cellphone in your purse or in your pocket at all times.  If you have an iPhone, set it up so your phone can be tracked via your Apple account, should you lose it, or it should be stolen.  Sometimes, it's a good idea to keep your cellphone tucked away, unless you absolutely need to use it. If you've got the brand-new smartphone, it might be more attractive for muggers. It's always the best bet to stick with people when you're walking at night. Man or woman, young or old, you're safer if you've got some back-up. Don't walk late at night all by yourself.  If you must walk alone, stick to well-lit areas, using reliable routes and get where you're going as quickly as possible. Call someone to let them know your travel plans, as soon as possible. If you go out drinking, make sure you get rides figured out before it gets late. If you end up downtown at 2am without a plan for getting home, you might end up in a sketchy situation. Avoid neighborhoods with high crime rates. Generally, you can contact the census in your area to find out which areas of your town are statistically more dangerous than others. Avoid these areas when you're walking alone. Try to keep in touch when you go out. You don't need to make a big deal out of checking in periodically with someone, just to be on the safe side. Let a parent, a close friend, or some other loved one know where you are, where you're going, and when you're likely to be back. At the very least, you'll keep people from worrying about you. . While it's not necessarily advisable for everyone, learning to safely carry pepper spray or mace can be an effective safety tool, if you absolutely must walk alone regularly. These deterrents are effective against assailants, stray dogs, and more importantly can help to keep you feeling safe as you walk around.  Learn to...

TL;DR in English: Carry a cellphone. Travel in groups. Let people know where you're going. Consider carrying some personal defense Learn to defend yourself confidently

You will need this extra length for the hem. If your skirt has a lining, and you need to hem it as well, plan on having it 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) shorter than the finished skirt. Thread a needle, and tie a knot at the end of the thread. Use the needle to pull the thread through the hem. Catch 1 to 2 threads from the skirt material, then bring the needle back into the hem. Pull the needle ¼ inch (0.63 centimeters) through the hem, then use it to catch 1 to 2 threads from the skirt material again. Keep blind stitching until the hem is all sewn up. Knot the end of the thread, and snip the rest off.  Use a thread color that closely matches your fabric. This is great for those working with a heavier or thicker material.

" If you are very confident your hand will win, or you believe no other player will be willing to match you, you can push all your chips on the line—a bold move.  In a tournament, if "you're down to only 5 more big blinds/antes" then you'll be out after 5 rounds around the table if you don't make a stand,  so you will want to go all-in pre-flop with a reasonably good hand, hoping to double up or get everyone to fold. If you have only 5 times the blinds and antes, just picking up the blinds and antes means a 20 percent increase for you, which is huge. So, for example, if you have any pair, any ace, any king, or any two face cards, strongly consider going all-in pre-flop -- if no one has yet entered the pot. You are "short-stacked" compared to other players and to the blinds/antes. If making any reasonably sized bet will put half or more of your stack into the pot, you are pot-committed and may as well go all-in to look stronger and apply maximum pressure. Even if you have the nuts (the best possible flop with your hold cards), don't try to slow-bet and raise just the minimum if you are already pot-committed. Any opponent with the slightest bit of observation will become suspicious why you did not simply go all-in, if you are strong. In any case, your opponents are likely to interpret an all-in from a short stack as a desperate move and call if any of them have a reasonably good hand. If you have enough more chips than an opponent who has a wager on the table, you may "put him or her all in" by betting equal to their total chips (you can say "all-in"). If no other player calls and the shorter stack doesn't fold, both reveal their cards in the showdown -- then any remaining community cards are dealt out one by one without any more wagering on each (because the all-in player has no more chips to bet with). If the other person wins you double that player up, but you have a chance to send that player home. If one player is all in, players who call that and still have more chips can still make additional bets with...

If your doctor is firmly unsupportive of trying treatment options other than the one that you are uncomfortable with, explain that you want to find a second opinion first. A good doctor will be supportive of you looking for other opinions. They may even be able to recommend some other specialists.  Getting a second opinion is sometimes required by insurances for surgeries. Sometimes the second doctor doesn’t agree with the first regarding treatment, and sometimes they do. If the 2 doctors do not agree, it’s best to seek a third opinion to help you decide. The doctor giving you a second opinion will need all your medical information and records. Ask in person before leaving the appointment with your first doctor, or call the office later by phone, to ask that your records are given to another office. You may have to sign a confidentiality waiver about sharing your medical records. Therefore, it can be most convenient to ask your first doctor’s office staff about sending the records before you leave. When you go to the second doctor, briefly summarize your condition and explain why you are there seeking another opinion. Tell them all the reasons you are not sure you want to follow the treatment recommendation that your first doctor is advocating for. This doctor will hopefully give you some more information about the procedure or treatment that was not given to you before, helping you to decide what to do. Or, they may have alternative approaches that they have used that you feel more comfortable with trying. If you have tried various approaches with your doctor and you still feel that they don’t value your input, or that they make you feel foolish for asking questions, this is not a healthy doctor-patient relationship. Find another doctor in your area that you can have a better working relationship with.  Other signs that it may be time to leave your doctor include your doctor not coordinating well with other physicians, their office is disorganized, or your doctor is so rarely available that you usually see...

TL;DR in English: Tell your doctor you want a second opinion before committing. Ask your doctor office to send records to the second doctor. Bring a list of concerns and questions to the second doctor appointment. Leave your doctor completely if you don’t trust them despite your efforts.

Pick up the syringe in your free hand and rest the hub of the syringe (the open end) just behind the cat's lower fangs (the long teeth at the front of the lower jaw), angled over the tongue. Gently and slowly press the syringe's plunger so that about half a milliliter of fluid is dribbled into the cat's mouth.  Once you have put medicine in the cat's mouth, it will move its tongue and try to swallow. Some cats like to lower their head to swallow, so you may need to relax your wrist so that her head can drop down to a more natural position for swallowing. After the cat has had a chance to swallow, give it another half milliliter of medicine. Repeat this process until you have administered the full prescribed dose. Talk soothingly to the cat as you slowly unwrap the towel. Most likely, the cat will run off as soon is it can, but if it doesn't give it some affection and maybe a tasty treat. Rewarding the cat after giving it medicine will make it less resentful and make the task easier next time.

TL;DR in English: Place the syringe in the cat's mouth. Begin administering the medicine. Finish dosing the medicine. Reward the cat.

These accounts are the most common type of joint account. They are available to everyone, but popular with couples. With a "joint tenants with rights of survivorship" bank account, owners have equal access and equal responsibility for the account.  If one partner dies, all of the funds pass on to the surviving owner. This account is not subject to probate after an owner dies. Creditors can collect against this account, no matter which of you deposited the balance. This option is only available to couples, whether by marriage, civil union, or domestic partnership. Neither of you may withdraw money without the permission of the other.  Creditors cannot collect on the total balance of the account, but only on funds acquired by the couple and only with permission of both owners. This account is not subject to probate. If one owner dies, the entirety of the balance becomes the property of the surviving owner. If you have an elderly or incapacitated relative who needs you to manage their money, you can open a convenience account with them and act as their agent. The funds in the account belong to the owner. As the agent, you use the funds to pay the owner's bills and manage their transactions.  After the owner's death, funds will be distributed according to their will. Creditors may be allowed to collect against the account. If you are the agent, your creditors may ask you to prove that you do not have ownership over the bank account. These are popular with couples and with business partners, but anyone can open them. You may divide your ownership equally or give one owner more responsibility and access. You will each be entitled to a predetermined percentage of the account.  If one owner dies, an estate will distribute their share of the balance according to their will or trust. This type of account is subject to probate. If there's no will or trust, the funds of the deceased will be distributed to their closest relatives. Creditors may still collect against the entire account, however, even if one partner...

Although your body might feel different as it is changing, it is important to keep on exercising. Learning to be coordinated with a new physical frame is important. When you do sports, your body creates extra beta-endorphins, which are hormones that can decrease stress and put you in a better mood.  Understand that some sports might be harder for you than in the past. For example, if you were a star figure skater before entering puberty, you might find jumping is more difficult with increased weight. This happens to almost everyone! Talk with your coaches about how to adapt to your new physical frame. Exercising can also help girls who have menstrual pain. If you are worried about working out on your period, see how to Exercise While on Your Period. As you grow taller, you will need some new clothes. Take this moment to think about your new style. Perhaps you would like to look more mature. For girls, this is a good time to learn about bras. Ask your mother, sibling, or a friend for help. Most larger department stores or women’s lingerie stores also have specialists who can help you determine what is the best type and size of bra to use. For boys who play sports, talk to your coaches about purchasing athletic cups. As your body grows, it is important that you nourish it with fruits, vegetables, protein, and whole grains. Try to avoid your intake of junk foods. You might be hungry all the time as your body is using energy to grow. It is okay to eat snacks but aim for things like trail mix or yogurt rather than candy bars or chips.  Do not skip breakfast. You will need your energy for school. Aim for five daily portions of fruits and vegetables. Include foods rich in iron and calcium, e.g. cheese, milk, spinach. Drink when feeling thirsty. Dehydration can make you feel tired.  If you plan to go to a party and know there will be junk food there, consider eating a healthy snack or even dinner beforehand.

TL;DR in English: Continue to exercise. Update your wardrobe. Eat healthy foods.

“Yet” can give a sentence a certain distinctiveness and tone that “but” may not be able to do. Try replacing your use of “but” with “yet” in your sentences, placing a comma before “yet.” For example, you may say, “Stella plays tennis well, yet her favorite sport is soccer,” or, “I’m good at writing sonnets, yet I prefer reading haikus.” “Yet” can help you provide more information about a subject or event that may be contradictory or ironic. It is often used in negative sentences, similar to how you might use the conjunction “nevertheless.”  For example, you may say, “The new tenants complained about the noise, yet they continue to play their music loud,” or, “She dislikes meeting new people, yet she still showed up at the party.” Often, you can remove the subject in the second half of the sentence. This allows you to remove the comma as well. For example, you may say, “The new tenants complained about the noise yet continue to play their music loud,” or, “She dislikes meeting new people yet still showed up at the party.” “Yet” is often used at the start of a sentence to share an afterthought or a second guess. It can also add a conversational flow to your sentences. For example, you may say, “Yet, despite my complaints, I still miss her company,” or, “Yet I must admit I value facts more than mere superstitions.”

TL;DR in English: Use “yet” like “but” in a sentence. Put “yet” in a sentence to expand or add to the content. Start a sentence with “yet” to give it tone and flow.

nearest Saturn's current position to use as a guide. When you've gotten a sense of Saturn's path, you'll first need to locate a constellation to use as a focal point to start scanning from. Basically, you want to familiarize yourself with the constellation its closest to and then use a chart of Saturn's position to find out exactly where to look in relation to that star.  In 2014, that constellation will be Libra, while in January of 2016, it will be directly North of the Antares star in the constellation Scorpius. You can look at Saturn's path here: http://www.nakedeyeplanets.com/saturn.htm  If you're viewing on an oppositional date, aim your telescope due South. Typically, Saturn will appear to have a yellowish-golden hue and won't twinkle like stars do. Because Saturn is a planet, it may not be as bright or instantly noticeable as some stars, because it doesn't shimmer. Use your constellation as a point of reference and look for a color difference. While Saturn itself is visible with the naked eye, it's a shame to try to find it and not be able to enjoy its distinctive rings, which are visible with a basic telescope. Using a telescope will make the job much easier, as Saturn will appear to be a distinctly different shape than other bodies in the sky. If you've got a powerful telescope with a yellow filter, that can help isolate the particular light in Saturn's spectrum, making it easier and more pleasurable to see. The planet will be darkened with shadow from the rings, giving an almost 3-dimensional appearance and an oblong quality when seen through a telescope. If you've got a good enough telescope to see the rings, you'll notice that they'll look flat, but create a more rounded and marble-like quality to the planet itself. You should also be able to distinguish between the A (outside) and B (inside) ring belts on the planet, which are pretty much the coolest thing in the sky. Aside from its famous rings, Saturn is also notable for the presences of its many moons, which are often visible in the...

What people see of you on the Internet will determine how you will be perceived--there are no second impressions in the online world. If you're posting a picture of your face for a dating site, choose a flattering image taken with a quality camera. If you're writing a short description of yourself on a forum, choose to highlight your most exciting and unique interests. Write in complete sentences and and with proper spelling. Keep everything short and to the point; people often spend little time composing their judgment of you. What your "best foot" is depends on the online venue. Before creating your real profile, it can help to create a blank profile to browse a site--this way you can see what kinds of profiles are expected of users. While it is important to maintain whatever level of privacy you feel is appropriate, it is also important to be truthful in whatever information you do put out on the Internet. If you ever intend to meet your online conversants in person, you want to ensure that they're interested in meeting the real you. Additionally, staying truthful is an important element in building trust in an online world often considered dangerous and unsafe. Filling out your entire online profile is useful in getting others to engage with and respond to you. It makes you seem invested in the website or application, it makes you appear more trustworthy, and it makes you seem more interesting and worth talking to.

A message board is a good example. Remember, if the site is not vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack, then this will not work. You will need to type some special code into the "post" which will capture the data of all who click on it. You'll want to test to see if the system filters out code. Post <script>window.alert("test")</script>If an alert box appears when you click on your post, then the site is vulnerable to attack. The goal of this attack is to capture a user's cookies, which allows you access to their account for websites with vulnerable logins.

When your cat is still new to your home, lie down near it or in front of it when your paths cross.  Speak to your kitten in a quiet, comforting voice, saying things like, “Hi, kitty.  It's just me.  You can trust me.”  Soon, your cat will become interested in you and come over to give you a sniff.  Repeat this exercise three or four time daily for a week or so.  The exact distance away from your cat you should lie down varies depending on much your cat distrusts you.  The less trust your cat has in you, the further away you will need to lie down in order to entice it to come near. It might take several exchanges before your cat actually gets interested in you enough to come over and see what you’re doing. Do not reach your hand out to the cat during this stage. Keep some treats handy as you walk around the house during the day.  When you encounter the kitten that does not trust you, squat down on one knee.  In a gentle voice, say, “Here, kitty.  Would you like a treat?”  Place a cat treat in the center of one upturned palm and extend it to the kitten.  Repeat three or four times a day.  At first, keep your arm extended out as far as you can. After a week or so, start to bring your arm in closer to your body.  This will allow your cat to feel safer with you.  This feeling of security will help you earn a kitten’s trust. At this point, reduce the number of times each day you give your kitten a treat to just one or two. After your kitten is comfortable eating from your hand in close proximity to your body, introduce a new element to the interaction.  While your cat is nibbling the treat in one hand, bring your other hand up and stroke the cat gently from the top of its head or neck toward its tail.  Smooth, steady strokes along its back will reassure your kitten and help you earn its trust. If you pick a kitten up before it trusts you, it will become startled.  Only pick the kitten up after it trusts you enough to eat from your hand and allow you to pet it.  When you lift your kitten, do so from the kitten’s...

Rome wasn't built in a day. You're probably not going to kick your habit in a week, either. That's perfectly okay. Small victories beget bigger ones. In the beginning, simply try to reduce the amount of alcohol you consume. Going straight from a heavy drinker to cold turkey is a recipe for physical and emotional disaster.  Imagine that due to excess alcohol, you are vomiting and having paralyzing headaches. If you've felt this way before while drinking, try to summon those memories. The pain you feel is good: it's a willingness to change your habits, and that's the first step. Even if you only reduce your daily drinking by one drink, it's a success. No step is too small at this point. A mistake here is getting comfortable only curbing your drinking by one drink. Keep working on reducing the alcohol you consume. Every week, cut down the total number of drinks by at least one. If you want to be more ambitious, try halving the number of drinks you allow yourself each week. Eating a meal before drinking will reduce your interest for drinking. It will also make it harder to get drunk. If you do this, don't trick yourself into letting your body get as drunk as you would have if you hadn't eaten — although very clever, that's what we call cheating! Water will help keep you hydrated, make you feel better, and help flush out toxins from your body. Men are advised to drink 12 cups (3.0 liters) of water a day, and women are advised to drink 9 cups (2.2 liters). This will make it harder for you to justify having alcohol in your house. Use non-alcoholic sparkling wine instead, or cut that part out of the recipe. Most people do not drink like alcoholics do. They cannot understand the fact that some people truly have a problem with alcohol. Of course, there are others who have the problem too. Either way, people will say "You don't have a problem!"  When you do quit drinking, just say "No thanks, I'll have water — I'm trying to watch my weight."  If you hang out with them very much they'll figure it out — and they'll think...

TL;DR in English: Start by reducing your alcohol intake. Have food before you drink. Drink a lot of water. Revise recipes that call for alcohol. Don't try to explain quitting to people. Make changes to your routine. Don’t give up on yourself. Don’t let guilt consume you.

If you’re tempted to pick at trouble spots on your face, conceal them with bits of medical tape. Each time you attempt to pick you will be reminded that this behavior is off-limits. Wearing makeup over your facial skin serves a dual purpose: it covers imperfections so that you are less likely to obsess over them and it acts as a barrier to prevent picking. If you spend extra time in the morning applying makeup, you won’t want to smudge it by picking at your face, right? Ask your dermatologist for a makeup recommendation that reduces acne and helps clear skin. If you spend a lot of time in front of mirrors, try to decrease your mirror time. Time yourself in front of the mirrors--if you know you only have 5 or 10 minutes, you won't be able to linger on that blemish.  Put away or cover the mirrors in your home so that you only use them when you are getting dressed or doing a beauty routine. Get rid of magnifying mirrors that only serve to enhance your imperfections and make you feel worse about your appearance. The next time you get the urge to pick your face, tell yourself you must wait 10 minutes. Set a timer on your phone. When the time elapses, see if the urge is still there.  More than likely, the urge will have passed. If not, challenge yourself to wait a little bit longer before picking. Try to increase the amount of time between picking. You may notice yourself becoming better at dealing with the urge, or you may find healthier replacement activities to do instead of picking.

TL;DR in English: Cover pimples with medical tape if you have the urge to touch them. Apply makeup to facial skin to cover marks. Reduce your mirror time to cut back on obsessing. Try delaying your picking when the urge comes.

The fan leaves are the large leaves that have five distinct points – a large, long point in the center and two smaller points on either side.  Fan leaves can be plucked with your fingers or clipped with scissors or shears. Some people choose to clip their fan leaves later, after they’ve cured the plant.  This slows down the drying process and produces more flavorful buds. The sugar leaves are those that emerge from the buds themselves.  They are so short that their stems cannot be seen.  Only their tips are visible.  Use your scissors to snip them off. Generally, it’s a good idea to leave the buds you want (the ones close to the top of the plant) on the plant in order to slow the drying process.  If you’re in a high-humidity environment, you might need to remove the buds in order to advance the drying process. When the bud-bearing branches have been removed and partitioned into individual pieces, they must be cured (dried).  Using string or twist ties, hang the branches on your laundry line so that all parts are exposed to air.  Hang your plants in a room with a temperature of about 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius) and no warmer than 85 degrees Fahrenheit (29 degrees Celsius).  Use heavy ventilation in the form of a fan or a draft to help dry the branches at first. As they dry, gradually decrease the ventilation to increase the moisture in the room, but never let the moisture exceed about 50%. Don't expose your harvested plants to direct sunlight, heat, or moisture. The latter is especially bad, as it can produce mold, which can ruin a crop. The goal is for your branches to slowly, naturally dry, so that when you smoke the buds, they produce a pleasing flavor.  This may take upwards of a week. After removing all the buds, clip the rest of the leaves from all of the branches. There's no right way to do this.  A firm tug on each leaf stalk might be one person's preferred method, while clipping might be another's.  Once a marijuana plant has been totally trimmed of its buds and leaves, it should be...

TL;DR in English: Clip the fan leaves. Trim the sugar leaves. Leave the buds on the plant. Hang the branches to cure. Dispose of your plant.

This will prevent children from entering the water without supervision. Children are at an increased risk around home pools, and it is important that they are not allowed easy or unsupervised access. Anything that might tempt a child to enter the water without supervision is dangerous. Toys can be especially alluring to kids, and need to be put away after use. Most local branches of the Red Cross or YMCA will offer a variety of swimming lessons for all ages, and levels of ability. This can be a very important safeguard before installing or moving into a home with a pool. A bit of prevention is worth much more than a dramatic rescue. If you have young children, or are expecting young children to be using your pool provide age appropriate flotation devices. Improperly maintained covers can create suction that will hold a swimmer or child under the water.

TL;DR in English:


Go to a nature preserve or park. Walk in a city. Go  star-gazing.

Since most Macs don't have disc trays anymore, you'll need to buy an external DVD drive and attach it to your computer via a USB cable.  Make sure that the DVD reader that you buy can "burn" or write DVDs before purchasing it. You may also need to buy a USB-3 to USB-C adapter if your Mac is one of the most recent models. Skip this step if your Mac already has a DVD drive with DVD writing capabilities. The DVD has to be blank (e.g., brand-new) and logo-side-up for this to work. It's a menu item at the top of your Mac's screen. Clicking it prompts a drop-down menu to appear. If you don't see Go, click your desktop or the Finder to prompt Go to appear. You'll find this near the bottom of the Go drop-down menu. A window will open. It's a grey hard drive icon with a stethoscope on it. Doing so opens the Disk Utility window. This is a radioactive symbol-shaped icon at the top of the window. Click the folder into which you saved your movie. You'll find the folder in question on the left side of the Finder window. Click the movie file to do so. It's in the bottom-right corner of the window. You'll see this in the pop-up menu near the top of the Disk Utility window. Your movie will begin burning onto the DVD. It's in the bottom-right corner of the window. After you do this, you can eject your DVD from your computer and test it in your preferred DVD player.

Place your rat a little bit away from you. Hold a treat out so your rat notices it. When it comes to get the treat, reward it by giving it the treat. Don’t pair a verbal cue with the action and reward until your rat can perform it consistently. Once the behavior is 100% consistent, start pairing the hand signal with a verbal command such as “come.” Repeat the word while the rat comes to you and gesture with your hand, such as by motioning towards yourself. When the rat comes to you, give it the treat and praise it with pets or holding. If your rat's name is more than two syllables long, try using a nickname or shortened version instead. Place the rat on a flat surface. Take a treat and say “stand.” As the rat sniffs the treat, lift the treat to guide the rat upward. Your rat will probably stand up to follow the treat in your hand. When it stands, give it the treat and praise.  Each time you get your rat to stand, raise the treat higher to try to get them to stand straighter. When you start to phase out the treats, continue to raise your hand as if you’re holding something in it. To make your rat shake your hand, put a treat in your hand near the rat's paws. Then slowly and very gently, take your rat’s paw and put it on the treat. Say "shake" and then feed the treat to your rat. You could also try holding the treat in your closed fist with 1 finger outstretched as you do this. Allow your rat to grip or “shake” your outstretched finger. You can teach the rat to clap by holding a treat above its head. Say the word “clap!” and the rat should try to grab the treat with both hands. Make sure to hold it at a place where both the hands meet when it reaches. When it claps, give it the treat and praise. Rats love to ride on their humans’ shoulders, but they can fall off and get injured, so be very careful if you decide to do this. Place the rat on your shoulder, and then give it a treat. Hold it gently in place as you let it get used to being on your shoulder. Give it another treat or two while it stays put. As the rat...

TL;DR in English: Teach the rat to come when called. Train the rat to stand. Consider teaching a rat to shake hands. Try teaching your rat to clap. Carry your rat around on your shoulder cautiously.

Laser tattoo removal uses heat to break up the ink particles and remove the tattoo. This process sounds easy, but is actually quite expensive and takes a few rounds of treatment to complete.  Laser removal can cost anywhere from $75 to $300 per session, depending on the size of your tattoo.  Some tattoos can take 5 to 20 sessions to remove completely. Local anesthesia or a numbing spray will be used before these procedures. For dermabrasion, a doctor will “sand” the tattoo down to resurface the skin. It's not as effective as dermaplaning, in which a doctor will use a tool called a dermatome to “shave” the skin down until a new layer, with no tattoo, is reached. Most tattoos are quite deep and as a result these procedures often result in permanent scarring. It will take a few weeks for the redness, swelling, and soreness to heal. Some small tattoos can be removed surgically by cutting out the tattoo and then sewing the skin back together. Larger tattoos may require a skin graft to replace the excised skin. This method is the most invasive and has minor side effects, including:  Infection Skin discoloration Incomplete removal of pigment Scarring

TL;DR in English: Try laser tattoo removal. Remove a tattoo with dermabrasion or dermaplaning. Consider surgical excision.

If the weather is nice, go for a walk. Connecting with nature is a great way to relax and enjoy yourself, so drive or walk over to the nearest park or nature reserve. If it's cold, you can still take a walk: snowy or wintry weather can be just as beautiful as summer weather. Just make sure to bundle up. Walking in an urban area can be just as interesting as walking in nature, and you're sure to see a lot of interesting shops and people along the way. If you live in or near a city, wander a bit downtown and explore the parks, boulevards and unique sights. Stargazing can be aided by telescopes or binoculars, but you don't need any special equipment to enjoy the stars. Simply find a quiet, dark place and look up. Try and identify constellations and planets, and break out the telescope if you have one. If you live in a densely populated area, you might have to take a drive to find an area with less light pollution.

TL;DR in English:


Do not eat poorly cooked food. Avoid unsanitary areas. Recognize accidental transmission.

You don’t want to clog up the blender by filling it completely with rice. Smaller amounts will let the blade work more efficiently and grind the rice better.  A good rule of thumb to follow is that 1 cup (240 ml) of rice yields about 1 1⁄2 cups (350 ml) of rice flour.  You can use either white or brown rice, as long as it’s raw and uncooked. Turn the blender on the highest setting to get the best results. The flour should be smooth and there shouldn’t be any large chunks.  Grinding rice is hard on your blender's blades. If you plan on making a lot of flour, invest in a higher quality blender that's more durable. The finer the flour, the better it will work in baking and other recipes. Any air that leaks into a container that's not properly sealed can cause the flour to spoil faster. Either a plastic or glass container or jar will work. If you use a resealable bag, squeeze out any excess air before you seal the bag. While flour can keep for a very long time, it tends to get musty or stale after 1 year. Throw it away if you see mold or notice a foul scent.  To keep track of when the flour needs to be thrown out, use a permanent marker or a sticker label to note the date you should throw it out by. This will be 1 year from the day you made it. If you have different types of flour in your pantry, you may also want to write “rice flour” on the label. Keeping the flour in the refrigerator or the freezer will help the flour last longer.

TL;DR in English: Place 1 to 2 cups (240 to 470 ml) of rice in your blender at a time. Cover the blender and grind the rice until it’s a fine powder consistency. Transfer the flour to an airtight container and place the lid tightly on it. Store the flour in the pantry for up to 1 year until you’re ready to use it.

Think happiness. Talk happiness. Give people compliments. Do favors. Be generous and kind. Everything you do to others, you will receive. What you focus on and do to others, you are brining into your own life. Be happy! There are many things you can do to heighten your frequency.  Spend more times doing the things that you like. Think about good memories you've had with friends and family. Spend time with the ones you love! Experience things you've always wanted to do! Listen to happy and joyful music that you really like! Watch funny videos and movies! Your reality is created by the images you have in your mind - the Universe doesn't understand words. It is often easier to conjure up images that move. When you want to visualize, think of your five senses; sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch. Keeping these things in mind while wishing is important. The visualization should feel so real that you feel completely surrounded by it. When you visualize, concentrate - really concentrate - on the things that you want. Then, when you're done, you must act and think like you have received it. It's yours. All you have to do is to wait for the opportunity for it to arrive. Don't get too caught up, though - if you dwell too much on it, you might begin to think and feel negativity around it. Do you want money? Feel like you've just won 1,000,000 dollars! Do you want to find your soulmate? Then allow the feeling of love towards this person - this person that's about to come into your life - fill you up! Shape your own life, do the thing you would've done if you had already received your wish! If you do it right, it's already on it's way - all you have to do is to believe it already is yours. The secret to success using the Law is believing. Believing is your job. The Universe will take care of everything else. If you feel doubtful, start with something small. In your mind, create a picture of one particular kind of leaf, rock, feather, etc. - something small. Make this thing unique, so unique that when you first see it,...

TL;DR in English: Glow with positivity. Learn to visualize. Shift your entire existence in order to receive everything you want. Believe! Love yourself. Practice meditating to make yourself feel better. Spend time every day in the GAP. Incorporate religion.

Ice-cold water immediately after an intense muscle workout has been shown to reduce muscle soreness more than any other single treatment. It reduces muscle inflammation and prevents much of the soreness from lingering in your muscles.  If you are a professional or college athlete or workout at an elite gym, you might have an ice bath there that you can utilise to help reduce muscle soreness. If not, try these strategies instead:  Jump into a cold shower or bath. The colder, the better: professional athletes use ice water, but if you can't stand it, just use cold tap water with no hot water added. It won't work as well as ice water, but it will be better than warm or lukewarm water. If you're an athlete, consider investing in a five-gallon bucket. For soreness of the arms (like from baseball practice), a five-gallon bucket filled with ice water will allow you to ice the whole arm at one time. This method will also work for feet. When icing a muscle or muscle group (rather than your whole body), make sure wrap an ice pack in some sort of buffer before applying the ice. This will keep the extreme cold from injuring your skin. Try putting crushed ice in a plastic bag, then wrapping it in a tea towel or washcloth before applying to the affected muscles.  Use plastic wrap to secure ice to limbs or the body. If you need to be moving around (cooking, cleaning, etc.) while using ice, plastic wrap can help secure ice onto a muscle while you move. Ice your muscles for 10 – 20 minutes. While the first step should always be ice, a few hours later it’s a good idea to apply heat to the affected muscles to help stimulate blood flow to your muscles and help them to remain limber instead of tight. Apply heat for about 20 minutes.  Take a hot shower or bath. The water will relax your muscles as you soak. Adding Epsom salts to your bathwater is an effective home remedy for sore muscles. Epsom salts are made of magnesium, which is absorbed into the skin and works as a natural muscle relaxant.  Add two to four heaped tablespoons...

TL;DR in English: Ice up. Heat up. Keep moving. Get a massage. Invest in a foam roller. Take pain medication. Know when soreness is normal and when it signals a problem.

There might be lots of people from your middle school in your freshman class. However, try to make new friends instead of only talking to people you already know. Do your best to relax and take advantage of opportunities to meet new people. You and your friends from middle school might drift apart, but that's perfectly normal. People and friendships change over time, so don’t worry if you start to get closer to new friends. instead of putting on an act to impress people. Don’t think of a new high school as an opportunity to drastically change who you are. It’s one thing to get a haircut or switch up your wardrobe, but don’t put on an act when you introduce yourself to new people. For instance, don’t give up an interest, like a music genre or hobby, because you think it would make other people like you. You don’t need to change the way you talk or make decisions that make you uncomfortable just to look cool. It can be difficult to talk to new people, especially if you’re naturally shy. Try paying a genuine compliment to the person who sits next to you in homeroom or math class.  You could say something like, “Hey, I really like your sweater! Where did you get it?” or “Cool sneakers! I’ve wanted a pair like that for so long!” You could also ask them where they went to middle school or break the ice by saying, “I don’t know about you, but I’ve been pretty anxious about starting high school!” People in your class are in the same boat as you, but upperclassmen might seem unapproachable and scary. They’re not out to get you! Remember, they were once freshmen, so they understand what you’re going through. Don’t hesitate to ask an upperclassman for help finding a classroom, advice about what to get at lunch, or how to make it on time to your next class across the grounds. You might start hearing about extracurricular activities during orientation or in your first few days of school. Joining a club, sport, or other activity is a great way to meet new people with similar interests. Try looking on the school's website...

TL;DR in English: Talk to people who didn’t go to your middle school. Be yourself Start conversations with small talk or by complimenting someone. Try not to be intimidated by upperclassmen. Look into joining a club or activity.

No matter where you live or are traveling to, you should avoid food that is poorly cooked as it increases your risk of food poisoning and other causes of infection. Poorly cooked food may be major conduit of H. Pylori because the food is not heated to a temperature high enough to kill the bacteria. This can be hard to detect, but if your food is cold or raw, avoid eating it because it could possibly be a carrier of the bacteria.   Avoid food that has been inadequately cleaned, like vegetables, or handled, like meats and fish. Improperly cleaned and mishandled foods also increase the risk of all types of foodborne infection. You should also cook any food you make yourself to a high temperature as well. Since you may not know where all the food came from that you are cooking, you need to be certain you cook it well. This way you can avoid contaminating yourself with the bacteria as well. Like most bacterial infections, one of the major ways that the H. Pylori bacteria may be transmitted is through unsanitary conditions. This includes food and beverage production, living conditions, and activity areas as well. Food that is cooked in a poorly sanitized setting can transmit the bacteria from one individual to another. Avoid roadside locations or food carts where it is evident that there is no proper facilities for hand washing or cleaning utensils.  You should also avoid living arrangements near unclean water sources, sewage locations, and other areas where unclean and dirty water may be prevalent. Avoid places where people don't use gloves, where there are inadequate restroom and cleaning facilities, or places where workers touch money and other people and then handle food or merchandise. Another way that the bacteria may be transmitted is through the fecal-oral route or the oral-oral route. This means that food, water, and objects are contaminated with the bacteria because of poor sewage practices and poor hygiene. Since many individuals do not know they are carrying the bacteria, it can easily be transferred...
