Dissolve vitamin C powder using distilled water. Add glycerin to the vitamin C mixture. Pour the serum into an amber apothecary bottle.

Don’t worry about organization. Jot down all the reasons you have for writing this letter. Even if it sounds weird, you can cross it out later. Focus on her actions and the way she makes you feel instead of only physical features.  For example, you might list her bright smile followed by the way she greets you in the morning. Write down your honest feelings. For example, her smile might light up a dark morning, which makes you look forward to school. That’s a heartfelt compliment you can include in your letter. Now it’s time to put your thoughts into the letter itself. Let her know that this is a romantic letter. That way, there’s no surprises and she reads the letter when she’s prepared for it. Mention that you have significant feelings to share and had to tell her.  For example, say, “You are an amazing person and deserve to know it.” Another possible introduction is “I didn’t know how to tell you how I felt, so I wanted to write this letter.” Making her feel special involves more than flattering compliments. Maybe she’s a good friend who helped you through a difficult time. Being near her might help you be a better person. Telling her these things shows that you value her presence and that it means a lot to you. For example, you can say “You make me remember who I am” or “You make me unafraid to be me.” Even if you haven’t spent a lot of time with her, come up with at least one memory. Most likely you’ll remember the day you first spotted her or the moment that made you like her. Use the memory to describe how she made you feel. For instance, you can say, “I saw you across the classroom, and you were so stunning that I knew I had to talk to you. But you were so stunning I was speechless.” Refer to the list you made earlier and avoid repeating anything you already mentioned. Find the details that feel meaningful to you and work them into short but powerful sentences. Compliment her, but don’t go overboard by writing a page of praises.  Some examples you can include are “You are kind to everyone and I love...

TL;DR in English: Make a list of the things that you like about her. Start with why you’re writing the letter. Talk about what she adds to your life. Bring up personal memories you have. Discuss what you like about her. End the letter by thanking her.

If you have a bundle of fresh herbs that look clean and dust-free, you don't need to wash them. However, if you just picked them from your garden, it's likely they contain some dust and dirt. Rinse them in gentle running water, then shake off the excess water. Whether you just rinsed your herbs or they were wet when you received them, you should first dry off the obvious moisture. Spread them out on a paper towel or clean dishcloth until there are no more water beads on the surface of the herbs. If you'd like to use your herbs right away, use this method to dry a small handful at a time. This method is also suitable for tea leaves that have just been used to brew tea. For either material, spread small leaves or pieces of herbs out between two dry paper towels. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time until they are brittle, paying close attention for signs of burning. Moist, fleshy herbs such as mint and basil won't dry easily in the microwave unless they are already partly dried. Some herbs don't have much moisture to begin with, and can be dried over the course of a few weeks by tying the stems in bunches and hanging them upside down. Do this indoors in a dark place if possible, because sunlight can harm the color and flavor of the herbs.  Herbs in this category tend to have stiff or thick leaves. They include rosemary, parsley, sage, and thyme. If you'd like to dry soft, moist herbs in this way, hang them in small bunches inside a paper bag. Poke holes at the base of the paper bag and place in an area with good air flow so the herbs dry more quickly and mold has less chance to grow. Herbs with soft, juicy leaves need to be dried quickly or they will grow mold. Pluck the leaves off the stem and lay them between paper towels so that no two leaves are touching. You may stack up to five layers of leaves if you need to, alternating between paper towels and herbs. Place these in an oven safe dish and place in an oven at the lowest possible temperature setting. They may take up to 8 hours to dry.  Turn your oven dial...

TL;DR in English: Rinse dirt off fresh-picked herbs. Spread out wet herbs until the water evaporates before using any other method. Dry small amounts of herbs or tea leaves quickly in the microwave. Dry thick or sturdy herbs by hanging them indoors. Dry moist or soft herbs in a low temperature oven. When the herbs are crisp and crumbly, store them in an airtight container.

iPod shuffles are very small and none of them have a display. There are several visual differences between generations of the iPod shuffle.  Square with circular controls — 4th Generation (2010 - 2015) Rectangular with controls along the top edge — 3rd Generation (2009) Rectangular with circular controls — 2nd Generation (2006 - 2008) Narrow rectangle with small circular controls (white only) — 1st Generation (2005) iPod shuffles model numbers are printed in small type:   A1373 — 4th Generation (The model number is printed on the part of the clip that touches the base).  A1271 — 3rd Generation (The model number is printed at the bottom of the back, underneath the clip).  A1204 — 2nd Generation (The model number is printed on the edge that is covered by the tip of the clip).  A1112 — 1st Generation (The model number is printed on the back on the iPod, at the bottom).

TL;DR in English: Look at the form factor. Check the model number.

Mix a ½ teaspoon of vitamin C powder with 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of distilled water in a small container. Make sure to mix the ingredients together until the powder is completely dissolved, to avoid a grainy mixture.  Only use distilled water, not just filtered tap water or plain tap water. This is because the high oxygen levels in tap water can break down the ingredients faster. Note that your water and vitamin C mixture will only be good for 2 weeks when refrigerated, and beyond that time period the serum should be discarded. The function of glycerin is to make the solution smoother and moisturize the skin. Add 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of vegetable glycerin to the mixture. If you already included glycerin in the original mixture, you should include less water.  In this case, the mixture will include 1 teaspoon of distilled water instead of 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of distilled water. Note that when glycerin is included, the mixture lasts for a month. Now, you are ready to store your vitamin C cream. Place it into the refrigerator to preserve its effectiveness and prevent breakdown. Darker bottles are better, because exposing vitamin C to light will decrease its potency and oxidize it quickly, making it less effective.

TL;DR in English:


Structure your days. Exercise. Do the things that you love to do. Take the time to help others. Keep a journal Create a healing space. Engage in mindfulness practices.

Having the strawberries soak in the flavors, especially a honey or orange liqueur, already makes them sweet to enjoy by themselves. The syrup that forms will make them a dessert in their own right. Enhance your favorite desserts such as ice cream, cheesecake, or dessert pies. (You may need to drain off some of the syrup, depending on what you're adding the strawberries to). Lighten up plain yogurt and stir them for a sweet nutritious breakfast.

TL;DR in English: Eat the macerated strawberries as they are. Add the macerated strawberries as a topping. Mix the macerated strawberries in yogurt.

In order to understand the scoring system, you will need to know the value of the cards. The values don’t change throughout the game. Playing the cards in a “meld” during your turn nets you points, but holding onto the cards at the end of the round costs you points.  Jokers are worth 50 points. Aces and deuces are worth 20 points. Any card from an 8 to a King is worth 10 points. Cards ranked from 4 to 7 are worth only 5 points. Black 3s are also worth 5 points if you are able to use them. Red 3s are different from the other cards and are kept separate on the table. Each red 3 is worth 100 points. As soon as you get one, lay it face up in front of you. Collect as many of the red 3s as you can for bigger bonuses.  If you get all of the red 3s during a round, they are worth 200 points each. There are 4 of them in total, adding up to 800 points. It is rare, but it will put you way ahead of the competition. Failing to play a red 3 by the end of a round nets you a 500 point penalty, so be careful! That gives your partner a chance to pick up the discard pile on his turn. Black 3s also have some additional scoring quirks for you to be aware of. Black 3s can only be melded for points when they are the last cards in your hand. For that reason, they tend to be more useful for throwing off your opponents than scoring points. Think of these cards as replacements for ones you’re missing in your hand. When you score points by matching at least 3 cards of the same rank, use a wildcard to replace another missing card. These cards also allow you to freeze the discard pile to prevent your opponent from taking it. If you do this, turn the card sideways on the discard pile to indicate it is frozen.  For example, if you have 2 jacks, you could complete a meld by playing a 2 with it. Place the set of cards face up in front of you. You need to have 2 natural, matching cards to begin a meld. You can't start a meld with 2 wildcards, but you can use up to 3 of them to finish a meld. Normally, you freeze the discard pile with a wildcard...

TL;DR in English: Memorize the point value of all the scoring cards in the game. Use red 3s as a bonus card to score additional points. Play black 3s to block the next player in turn from taking the discard pile. Use jokers and 2s as wildcards to score or freeze. Make different melds to score points during the game.

An EEG helps the doctor see how the electrical signals move in your brain. During this test, the doctor will place sensors on your scalp. The sensors record your brain activity. Mostly, you will stay relaxed, but you may be asked to do a few things, like breathe deeply. Essentially, your doctor wants to see if your brain is misfiring and causing your seizures. Blood tests can help rule out anything else that may be causing seizures, such as infections. PET scans can pinpoint the part of the brain that is misfiring and causing the seizures.  For a PET scan, your doctor will begin with an injection of radioactive material. The positrons in the injection react with electrons in the body. This test can also help decide if you have another health issue instead of epilepsy.  Your doctor may also want a computerized tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. Both of these also help your doctor identify abnormalities in the brain. A single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scan may be used if an EEG or MRI doesn't show anything in your brain. Like a PET scan, you'd have a small amount of radiation injected into your body, and the SPECT scan would track how blood is moving to and from your brain. A spinal tap can help the doctor to determine if you have epilepsy through spinal fluid analysis. During a spinal tap, the doctor will remove fluid from your spine. You will be expected to get in a certain position, such as the fetal position. You will also be given a local anesthetic to help with any pain. The lab will analyze the fluid to find out more information.

TL;DR in English: Get an Electroencephalogram (EEG). Have blood tests. Get a positron emission tomography (a PET scan). Request a spinal tap.

aintain a healthy weight. Extra weight can worsen snoring. Eating a healthy, balanced diet and exercising can help you relieve your snoring symptoms.  Talk to your doctor before starting an exercise program. People who are a healthy weight can still have a snoring problem, especially if there are underlying health risks like sleep apnea. Alcohol relaxes your body, which actually increases your risk of snoring. This is because your throat muscles will also relax, making them collapse a little. This will cause you to snore more. If snoring is a concern, you should not drink close to bedtime. If you enjoy a drink, limit how much your drink to 2 servings or less, and allow enough time before bed for the effects of the alcohol to wear off. Sleeping on your back causes the tissues in the back of your throat to droop down, making your airways narrow. Turning onto either side alleviates this problem, reducing your risk of snoring. You can use an inclining pillow or lift the head of the bed to raise your sleeping position. This reduces constriction in the back of your throat, making you less likely to snore. . Smoking increases your risk of snoring. It also makes snoring worse. Overall, giving up cigarettes can help you breathe better, so give it a try.If you’re struggling to quit, talk to your doctor about quitting aides, like gum, patches, and prescription medication. Sedatives relax your central nervous system, which includes your throat muscles. This can increase the risk of snoring. Avoiding them can help reduce your snoring risk.  If you have trouble sleeping, it might help to get on a sleep schedule. Talk to your doctor before quitting any prescription medications. Since slack throat muscles can be the cause of snoring, tightening them can help eliminate your symptoms. When performed daily for at least 20 minutes, singing can help tighten your muscles. Alternatively, you could play a wind instrument, such as the oboe or french horn.

TL;DR in English: . Don't drink alcohol right before you go to bed. Sleep on your side. Prop yourself up by at least 4 inches if you must sleep on your back. Quit smoking Limit your use of sedatives. Sing for 20 minutes a day to help tighten your throat muscles.

Creating a plan for each day can help to keep your mind off of negative thoughts and instead focused on the future and what's next. When your days are filled with positive things that take up your time, you will have less time to dwell on your condition and feel depressed. Planning techniques that you can implement include:  Creating a timetable for eating and sleeping. The health of your mind in part depends on the health of your body, which can be difficult to maintain while battling a chronic illness. Eat regularly (at least three meals a day) and getting at least seven hours of sleep nightly helps your brain stay focused, be creative, and problem solve. Studies have shown that sleep deficiency can alter brain function and has been linked with depression and suicide. Keeping to an eating and sleeping schedule can aid in making sure your basic bodily needs are met and thereby boost your mental health.  Choose small tasks to do each day that you can work through easily and will help you to feel accomplished. This might be something like cleaning out a desk drawer, calling up an old friend, or getting your insurance plan updated. Break down large tasks, light house cleaning, into smaller ones to accommodate your physical needs while still providing you with a sense of goal completion. Try to avoid large gaps of unplanned time that can turn into moments or hours of negative thoughts and rumination. Always schedule time for something you enjoy, whether that be reading a few pages of a book, baking, or some light exercise. Incorporating down-time into your schedule can help remind you of the simple pleasures of life and restore your morale and contentment. Your physical and mental health are linked in many ways. When you sit around, listless and without anything to do, you are much more likely to feel depressed. By contrast, exercise is a very important method to combat depression. When you are active, your body releases the "happy hormones" –  endorphins  and dopamine – that make you feel happier and boost your...

Before you can begin determining the price you want, you need to figure out what you can reasonably afford. Figure out how much you're willing to spend given your current income and expenses.  If you intend to take out a loan, or make payments on the car over time, figure out reasonable month-to-month payments. Look into your current income as well as your current expenses. How much money could you afford to putting towards payments on a used car or on a loan? How much would a car cost, total, with these loan payments in mind? Weigh in other costs as well. In addition to payments on the car itself, you'll have to think about cost of registration, taxes, title, and insurance. This will tack on about $1,500 to $3,000 to the total costs. You may also want to invest in a warranty plan through the dealer, which will add some costs as well. You'll also have regular costs associated with the car, like repairs, gas, parking, oil changes, and maintenance. Once you've weighed in what you can reasonably afford, create a target price for yourself. It can help to consult online price guides. Such guides will give you a range of prices for used cars, helping you determine what a reasonable price range is for your needs. Online guides typically include the manufacturer's price for a variety of types of cars, as well as the typical selling price for the car. When looking for cars, avoid cars that are on the high end of your chosen price range. During negotiation, you may end up paying slightly higher. You can fund the purchase of a used car by selling your old car. Figure out about how much you can get for your current car before you begin looking for a new one. Not having a car to trade in will not affect your ability to get a good deal on a used car. In fact, many experts recommend that you treat the sale of your current car and purchase of a new one as separate transactions. This will help you get the most for your money.  There are many online outlets that allow you to gauge your car's value, such as Kelly's Blue Book or...

Organic seeds, beans, or nuts are all sproutable, using the same basic method. Make sure you get organic, or pesticide-free seeds intended for edible sprouts. Many commercial seeds, used for planting, are pre-coated with fungicides, pesticides, and other things that you won't want to eat. Experiment with a variety of seeds and legumes to learn what kind of sprouts you like best. It takes a minimal amount of preparation and supplies to start. Select between:   Seeds like sesame, sunflower, buckwheat, or pumpkin  Legumes or beans like mung beans, lentils, chickpeas, adzuki, or green peas  Whole grains like barley, corn, wheat, quinoa, amaranth or rye  Vegetable seeds like alfalfa, clover, radish, kale, cabbage, fenugreek, or turnip Pour in enough water to cover the seeds and let sit. Cover the top with cheesecloth, or some type of repurposed mesh: a woman's stocking, a section of screen, anything you could cinch on top and drain through would be perfect.  Any type of clean glass jar is perfect for making sprouts. Old pickle jars, mason jars, or other glass containers can be repurposed for sprouts. If you've still got the metal ring around the mouth of the mason jar, you can use it to hold the mesh covering in place, or you could use a hair tie, rubber band, or other elastic band to do the same. You can also buy a plastic sprouting lid with a mesh top for draining sprouts. If you want to sprout microgreens like wheatgrass or pea shoots, you'll also need seed beds, soil, and a bit more time on your hands. In general, you should rinse any type of sprouts every morning and evening, then drain them thoroughly to promote germination, without removing them from the jar. When sprouting legumes, it's common to swirl some water in after a few days to break up the hulls and let the sprouts form. You'll control the moisture by periodically rinsing the sprouts, but you'll also need to maintain an even temperature to promote germination. Keep your sprouts between 50 and 70 degrees F.  If your home is especially cool at a...

TL;DR in English: Select a type of sprout to start with. Soak the seeds in a jar overnight with filtered water. Drain the soak water and rinse your sprouts twice a day. Maintain the proper environment for germination. Use fresh sprouts right away.

A theme helps encourage involvement and makes decorating easier! Ask your child what theme they’d like. Once you have a theme, it may be easier to brainstorm decorating ideas and/or activities.  For example, planning the decorations for an outdoor competitive adventure party is very different from the decor one might expect at a princess party. When decorating, consider banners, balloons, streamers, or other colorful decorations! If your child’s party calls for a scavenger hunt, prior set up is required. When creating the scavenger hunt, make sure you’re coming up with clues that are challenging without being too hard!  For more active children, consider a scavenger hunt that takes place both inside and outside. For older children, consider a scavenger hunt with cryptic riddles and multiple steps. For younger children, consider a scavenger hunt that can be accomplished by all of them together, with simple, easy-to-follow clues. When deciding what arts and crafts to do, keep the children’s age in mind! Easy arts and crafts allow you to sit back, while more involved arts and crafts often require adult supervision. Some easy arts and crafts activities include squirt gun painting, egg carton animals, and canvas painting, while more involved arts and crafts activities include troll bookmarks and string art.  Consider how messy the activity will be. A very messy activity might be better outside! Make sure you buy all of the supplies in advance! Not only are musical activities great at keeping kids entertained, they also have the added benefit of being easy to set up. Set up a speaker and a Freeze Dance game, grab some chairs and play Musical Chairs, or, if you have the budget, rent a karaoke machine for some singing action. Even a simple dance party can often entertain kids that love music and dance. If your house has a yard or if you live near a park, consider having an outdoor party. Bring a soccer ball or frisbee and set up a game or, for children who don’t like sports, set up a tie dye t-shirt station or a...

Tip burn is when the leaves start to become dry and dead. This often happens when there are chemicals in the water. Setting your tap water out may not be enough – you may need to switch to bottled water to get your plant to look healthy. Once it gets tip burn, it may be hard to get rid of. Even if you do switch water, some chemicals may reside in the plant. You may just have to wait it out as it should go away eventually. Over time, most of these plants become top heavy. Because of this, trimming is very important for it to stay healthy. Don't cut off the main stalk – just the offshoots. Use sterile snippers to do so. Trim them off within an inch or two (2.5 - 5 cm) of the base. New shoots will emerge and the plant will be bushier and healthier. If they're dry and dying, that's a water problem as discussed above. If they're yellowing, that's often a result of too much sunlight or too much fertilizer. If they're brown, try making the area more humid by spraying the plant with water. As for mushy leaves, this plant could be beyond saving. Remove them immediately, change the water, and replant what you have left. If part of the plant is dying, you may have to cut it off. For example, if you notice that the base of the plant is turning yellow, then this is root rot and the plant will die. You can cut the top of the plant off and replant it, but there is a chance it may not grow. You may also consider cutting the plant if you don't like the shape the plant is taking on. Whatever you do, don't throw away the trimmings – they can be made into a new plant. New shoots will emerge from the bottom, older piece of the plant, and the top section can be potted to grow on its own. If you have a dying plant, get rid of the decaying parts immediately. Take any alive stems or branches and immediately repot them. They may flourish on their own if you take swift action.

Though an emotional affair is not physical, the feelings involved in it can cause a physical rift between you and your partner. You may have less sex with your partner than you did before, or the sex may change and become less intimate and more routine. For example, your partner may rush through sex, not hold you, barely look at you, and not stick around afterwards. Sometimes guilt may cause a person to initiate sex more often, or to lavish you with attention, gifts, or in other ways. People in emotional affairs may put distance between themselves and their partners. This occurs because they are worried that they might get caught or say something about the other person. If your partner is pulling away or not talking to you, they may be having an emotional affair. Take a look at what your partner does around you. Do they go to bed early, spend time working at night, or no longer want to do things together? When people have emotional affairs, they start talking to the other person instead of you about things. You may start to see differences in what your partner says to you. Maybe they don’t tell you about things you used to talk about often, or you notice they are quieter and share less than they used to.  For example, your partner might have told you random things about their day, but now they barely talk about their day. This can be a sign of an emotional affair. If you find out about things after the fact when you know they are important to your partner may mean they are telling someone else, especially if you know they are close with someone else. Changes in your partner’s attitude and tone towards you can also indicate a problem. Consider whether they have started reacting to you with irritation or speaking to you in a condescending tone. .

Both players will have a white square in the right corner on the edge of the board closest to them. The setup for each player looks identical from their perspective.  You set up your pieces on the two horizontal rows ("ranks") closest to you. The major pieces go on the first rank. The pawns go on the second rank. Unlike in checkers, chess uses every single square on the board. If you are the white side, your queen goes on the remaining white square in the middle of the first rank. If you are playing black, your queen goes on the remaining black square. The queen is one of the tallest pieces in the game and has a spiked crown. She can move horizontally, vertically, or diagonally any number of spaces, making her the most powerful piece on the board. The symbol for the queen is ♛. The king is usually the tallest piece on the board and appears to wear a rounded crown often topped with a cross. The king can move in any direction but only one space at a time. You use the rest of your pieces to protect your king. If you lose your king, you lose the game. The symbol for the king is ♚. Your first two rows should look like this (black side): ♟♟♟♟♟♟♟♟♜♞♝♚♛♝♞♜

TL;DR in English: Set the board so that the bottom-right square is white. Place the queen on the remaining, matching-color square. Place the king on the last open square of the first rank. Review your pieces.

Do this for both mixed numbers. Set these products aside. They are only part of your new numerator. For example, if you want to calculate 612÷214{\displaystyle 6{\frac {1}{2}}\div 2{\frac {1}{4}}}, you would multiply 6×2=12{\displaystyle 6\times 2=12} and 2×4=8{\displaystyle 2\times 4=8}. Do this for both mixed numbers. This sum will be the numerator of your improper fraction. For example, 12+1=13{\displaystyle 12+1=13} and 8+1=9{\displaystyle 8+1=9}. Complete this step for both fractions, making sure you use the correct denominators. These are your improper fractions that you will use to complete the division. For example, 612{\displaystyle 6{\frac {1}{2}}} becomes 132{\displaystyle {\frac {13}{2}}} and 214{\displaystyle 2{\frac {1}{4}}} becomes 94{\displaystyle {\frac {9}{4}}}. If you are working with any whole numbers, you need to convert them to fractions. To do this, turn the number into the numerator of a fraction. The denominator will be 1. For example, 3=31{\displaystyle 3={\frac {3}{1}}}.

TL;DR in English: Multiply the whole number by the denominator of its combined fraction. Add the numerator to the product. Place the sum over the original denominator. Convert whole numbers to fractions.

Use the information you learned about the procedure with your bank to decide if you need to transfer the money electronically, call customer service, or visit a bank branch.Visiting a branch, if your bank has one nearby, is often the most reliable option.  If you’re transferring your money in a bank branch, you’ll need your account number, bank number and routing number for your new account. You will usually be charged a percentage of the amount transferred by your bank. Be sure to have your personal identification handy, such as your driver’s license, so you can verify your identity. Make sure you’ve verified the amount in your account, and then request a check for the balance of your account. Have it sent to your home address,...

TL;DR in English: Check the balance on the account you want to close. Confirm that you are able to transfer funds. Contact your bank to find out the procedure for transferring funds. Decide how you will transfer your money. Ask your bank to issue you a check. Confirm that you have cancelled all bank services associated with that account. Deposit your check into your new account.

You can record your autosuggestion into a voice recorder or into a recording program on your phone.  Make sure you put the recording on repeat so that it will play continuously while you're asleep.  Make sure you record your autosuggestions in a strong, but soft voice. You want to it to be commanding yet gentle. If you don't like the sound of your voice, have a friend or family member record it using second person. Unlike the other methods, you will use the second person. You are commanding yourself. For example, instead of saying “I am a courageous person,”say “you are a courageous person.” Make sure you repeat each line ten times before moving to the next sentence. Repeat each affirmation until you have a thirty minute recording. Make sure the headphones allow you to sleep easily. For instance, if you sleep on your side, use earbuds to rest your head easier. While you sit or lie comfortably, try to relax and let go of your thoughts. Breath deeply and regularly. The mind is most open to suggestion when it is relaxed. The affirmations will be absorbed into your unconscious as you sleep. Repetition will help you absorb the affirmation. After the 14-day period, move on to a new affirmation.

Before the date, you might feel anxious, nervous, excited, or any combination of the 3. To help calm these pre-date jitters, try doing something relaxing that can take your mind off the upcoming occasion and put you in an easygoing, happy mood. Some different ways to calm down include:  Working out or doing yoga Reading a book Watching a movie or TV show Singing your favorite song If you’re nervous about what to say on the date, try coming up with some conversation starters you can fall back on if necessary. These can revolve around topics like family, pets, art, hobbies, and current events. If you can’t think of anything, try general questions like:  “What are some things on your bucket list?” “What are your favorite movies/musicians/books?” “If you could get a front row ticket to any event, which 1 would you choose?” Before your date, take a bath or shower and make sure to clean every part of your body. Then, put on some antiperspirant or deodorant, brush your teeth, and get your hair ready. If necessary, freshen up 1 more time right before the date.  If you have facial hair, make sure to either shave it off or trim it down so your face looks nice and clean. If you want, put on some first date makeup that matches your outfit. A small amount of perfume or cologne can make a powerful statement. If you’re going to a high-class restaurant or similarly fancy place, put on something elegant like a nice dress or good-looking suit. If you’re spending your time in a relaxed environment like a movie theater or putt-putt course instead, go for something casual that flatters you.  No matter what you wear, make sure it doesn’t restrict your breath or movement too much. First dates are all about getting to know each other, so something that makes it difficult to interact will lead to a bad first impression. If you’re going to a place that requires a lot of walking, leave the heels at home. A dirty car may drive perfectly fine, but it will give your date a bad first impression. To avoid this, clean out the inside of your...

Because this clock is made out of paper, it won't be able to move its hands on its own. You can move the hands yourself, but for that, you will need a brad or paper fastener. Here's a list of what you will need:  Paper plate Paper Brad (paper fastener) Scissors Crayons, markers, stickers, etc A plate with pictures on it may look pretty, but you won't be able to see the numbers. Don't worry, you can color the plate later. If you can't find a plain paper plate, use a regular plate to trace a circle onto a piece of paper. Cut the circle out and use it instead. If you have a very narrow rim, then write the numbers on the plate itself. Try to make the spaces between the numbers as even as you can. It might also be a good idea to write the numbers with a pencil first. You can draw over the numbers with crayon or marker later.  Try to write the 12, 3, 6, and 9 first. This may help you keep things even.  You can also use foam or sticker numbers instead of writing them out. One arrow should be a little shower than the other one. Make sure that the bigger arrow can reach the numbers. The big arrow will be the minute hand, and the small hand will be the hour hand. If you want to add color to your clock, now is the time. You can color the clock with crayons, paint, or markers. You can add stickers or even glitter to it. Try not to put too much on it, or you will not see the numbers. If you used paint or glitter glue, you will need to let everything dry before moving on.

Often times, children will be the ones who injure their mouth, generally while playing.  They may be curious or nervous before their appointment to get stitches.  Explain to them what is going to happen and why it's needed.  Reassure them that the stitches are a good thing and will help them feel better. If you were prescribed antibiotics to help fight an infection, you must take them as directed.  It is important that you finish the full course of antibiotics, even if you start to feel better or think the infection has been stopped. Your tongue will be sensitive, and ingesting certain foods or drink may worsen or aggravate the injury.  If you notice any pain or discomfort while eating certain foods, stop eating them until your tongue is fully healed.  You should avoid any hot food or drink if your mouth is still numb after receiving stitches. Don't eat any hard or chewy foods. Your health care provider may have additional dietary instructions. Although it may be frustrating to have stitches on your tongue, avoid pulling or chewing on them.  This will only weaken the stitches and may cause them to fall out. As your injury heals, you should watch its progress to make sure it is going well.  Keep an eye on your stitches, and the wound itself, and see your doctor if you notice any of the following issues:  Your stitches have come loose or fallen out. A return of blood loss that doesn't stop after you apply pressure. Any swelling or increase in pain. Developing a fever. Problems breathing.

TL;DR in English: Explain the process. Take any antibiotics prescribed. Watch what you eat. Avoid playing with your stitches. Monitor your progress.

In Hazard, the player who rolls the dice is called a caster instead of a shooter. This number is the main and determines which numbers win and which numbers lose when the dice are actually rolled.  In some versions of Hazard, notably French rules, the main is determined by a preliminary roll of the dice.  Because 7 is the number most likely to be rolled on two dice (1 chance in every 6 rolls), most casters chose this number as their main, thus leading to the game of craps. The caster bets against the other players individually or as a group, or against a bank (the setter). Bets at this stage are whether or not the caster will roll the called main or a number that also wins if the main is called. The outcome of the first roll determines whether a bet wins, loses, or is carried over to the next roll.  If the caster rolled the called main, the caster wins (nicks). If the caster rolled a 2 or 3, the caster loses (throws out). If the caster called a main of 5 or 9, but rolled an 11 or 12, the caster throws out. If the caster called a main of 6 or 8, but rolled a 12, the caster nicks. If the caster called a main of 6 or 8, but rolled an 11, the caster throws out. If the caster called a main of 7, but rolled an 11, the caster nicks. If the caster called a main of 7, but rolled a 12, the caster throws out. If the caster throws out at this stage, the caster has an opportunity to call a new main, bet, and roll again, unless this is the caster’s third consecutive loss, at which point the player to the caster’s left takes over as caster. If the caster rolled a number other than the main called, but not one of the losing numbers, that number becomes the chance (point) number the caster must roll to win. The caster and the other players can raise their original bets on whether the chance number will be rolled before the original main. Bets are given odds according to the likelihood of rolling the chance number before rolling the main. The outcome of the roll determines whether the caster wins, loses, or rolls again.  If...

TL;DR in English: Designate a caster. Have the caster specify a number from 5 through 9. Make bets on the outcome. Roll the dice. Make bets on the outcome of the chance roll, if one is to be made. Roll the chance roll.

Pull the bobbin holder away from the hook so more thread unwinds from the spool. Then, wrap the thread halfway around your index finger and bring the bobbin holder back up and around the fish hook (at the end of the thread base near the curve of the hook). Bring the bobbin holder around the hook 5-6 times in the same spot to secure the loop you made. When you’re finished making the loop, you can let go of the bobbin holder. It will dangle under the hook by the thread. Dubbing is a fluffy, stretchable material used to create the body on flies. Once you have dubbing, remove a piece from the packaging and stretch it out so it’s the same length as the fish hook you’re using. Then, place the dubbing inside the thread loop you made so that the thread is running along the center of the long side of the dubbing. Keep your finger inside the loop and pull the loop away from the fish hook so it’s taut. You can find dubbing online or at your local fishing supply store. A dubbing reel is a small tool with two hooks on the end. Take the dubbing reel and hook the end of the thread loop near your finger onto the hooks on the reel. Remove your finger from the loop of thread. Then, spin the reel using your fingers. Once you’ve spun the thread together several times, pull on the dubbing reel to pull the thread loop taut. As you do this, the thread loop and dubbing material should spin together. You can find a dub reel, or another thread spinning tool, online or at your local fishing supply store. Starting at the end of the fish hook near the curve, bring the dubbing reel around the hook to wrap the dubbing. Continue down the long end of the fish hook until you run out of dubbing. Then, grab the bobbin holder and wrap it around the spot the dubbing ends at 5-6 times to secure the dubbing in place. Pull the end of the thread taut by pulling the dubbing reel away from the fish hook. Place the scissors against the fish hook and cut off the end of the thread. Pull the cut off thread off the dubbing reel and discard it.

TL;DR in English: Make a loop with the thread using your finger and the bobbin holder. Put a strip of dubbing inside the loop of thread. Spin the dubbing and thread loop together using a dubbing reel. Wrap the spun dubbing around the long end of the fish hook. Use scissors to cut off the end of the thread.

If you haven't been diagnosed with frontal lobe seizure, it is important to rule out other medical conditions. Seizures can be caused by other problems in the body, and blood tests will measure things like body chemistry and your blood sugar level.  A blood test is done by obtaining drawing a sample of blood from you, usually from a vein found at the inner aspect of your elbow. The sample is then brought to the laboratory for analysis. Patients with acute seizures should have blood tested for electrolytes, BUN, creatinine, glucose, calcium, magnesium, and liver function.  Other tests should also be performed in anticipation of treatment, such as a complete blood count, differential, and platelets. Part of the test, called the complete blood count, will measure the number of white blood cells, the number of red blood cells, the amount of hemoglobin, and how much of your blood is composed of red blood cells.  The blood test should show normal values of electrolytes and other compounds that may affect brain function. For example, decreased levels of glucose and magnesium may lead to seizures. If your seizures start out of the blue, your doctor is going to want an MRI. An MRI will reveal if something else is going on with your brain, such as a tumor or lesions. It will also locate any unusual blood vessels. It is not a painful procedure.  This test is a combination of radio waves and strong magnets, used to create an image of the soft tissue in your brain. You will lay down on a bench and be pushed into a donut shaped machine where you will need to be still for a period of time. The test can take an hour but generally isn't longer than an hour and a half. The machine will make loud noises.  In some cases, the technician may inject an artificial dye into you to help create the image. You must remove any metal on your body before entering the machine, such as jewelry, hairpins, watches, hearing aids, and underwire bras; talk to your doctor about any devices in your body, such as a pacemaker or artificial heart...

Small items like cookies or popcorn balls are nice additions to your May Day basket; plus, you can make 1 big batch and use just 2 or 3 treats per basket. This way you can make a lot of baskets to give away, or you can have leftover treats for yourself. You could also put in some fresh fruit, like oranges, clementines, or freshly picked strawberries. If you do include fresh fruit, make sure the items are still in good shape and won’t go bad by the time you deliver the baskets. If you have a garden or access to fresh flowers, trim off a few stalks and tie the stems together with twine to make a simple, fresh bouquet. If you don’t have access to fresh flowers, you could always buy a big bouquet from a florist or from the grocery store, split the bouquet apart, and assemble smaller bunches to use in your baskets.  Never take flowers from someone else’s yard if you don’t have their permission. Bouquets don’t have to be big to be beautiful. Three or four single flowers put together can be just as attractive as a full bouquet. If your friends or neighbors don’t celebrate May Day, they may get confused when a random spring basket appears at their home. Remedy this by writing out a note on card stock to put into each basket. Have your note read something like, “Happy May Day!” or “A basket of treats to help you celebrate May Day!” The great thing about May Day baskets is that they can be really small and still be nice and meaningful to those who receive them. Find small baskets at the local dollar store, craft store, or even at a used goods store. Place the flowers in the basket so they are sticking out and visible, add the homemade goodies, and prop the handwritten note in the basket so that it is standing up. You can get as complex as you want to with your baskets. Keep them simple, or decorate them with ribbon, add more treats, like chocolates or wine, make them bigger, or do whatever else calls to your imagination. There is no right or wrong way! Traditionally, May Day baskets are left on doorsteps or outside of...

TL;DR in English: Make homemade treats to put into the baskets for a special touch. Create small flower bouquets for a simple, yet beautiful, addition. Write a short note to put in the basket referencing May Day. Arrange the basket to prepare it for delivery. Deliver the basket to a neighbor to give them a May Day treat.

Avoid setting performance goals that encourage employees to put profit over clients, coworkers, and safety standards. Sales quotas and other profit-centered benchmarks can incentivize unethical behavior. In addition to rewarding top sellers, offer monetary bonuses and other awards to employees with high customer satisfaction ratings or excellent safety records. Suppose an employee identifies a specification mistake in a blueprint or raises concerns about a new product’s safety. Redesigning that product might cost money in the short-term and delay its release. However, that employee saved your company’s reputation and prevented potential injuries, recalls, lawsuits, and regulatory fines. Factor ethical conduct into all decisions regarding promotions, raises, and bonuses. Failure to do so could result in a toxic company culture. If you reward unethical behavior with promotions and compensation, you’re telling employees throughout the organization that they need to violate codes of conduct in order to succeed. Sharing company profits with workers discourages them from manipulating numbers for their own benefit. For instance, you could earmark 10 to 15 percent of pre-tax profits for distribution among employees. Distribute payments quarterly or annually, and base the amount an employee earns based on their overall performance. Don’t base performance evaluations on raw numbers. Factor in their contribution to morale, work ethic, client relations, and other less tangible criteria.

TL;DR in English: Prioritize ethical decisions over sales or profits. Reward employees who raise concerns about products or services. Promote employees based on ethical behavior. Create a profit sharing system.

Women today have several options for menstrual hygiene, so choose what works best for your lifestyle. Tampons are the most common menstrual hygiene product for women in America because they are convenient and simple to use.  A tampon is made of absorbent cotton and is worn inside the vagina to absorb menstrual fluid as it leaves the cervix. They are available in a variety of absorbencies including light, regular, heavy, and super to coincide with the days of your flow. Tampons are disposable and are thrown away after use, and must be changed at least every eight hours. Never wear a tampon longer than eight hours or wear one that is more absorbent than you need, as this can lead to a rare but serious condition called Toxic Shock Syndrome. Disposable pads (also called sanitary towels or sanitary napkins) fit inside the underwear and come in various lengths and absorbencies. They are made of an absorbent material called cellulose and must be thrown away after use. Some women use them as back-up protection with tampons, and other women prefer pads because they are uncomfortable with inserting something in their vagina. Because they have a leak-proof plastic backing, disposable pads can trap smells more than most other hygiene options. Some women chose to purchase or make pads made of absorbent materials like cotton, Zorb, or microfiber. Cloth pads do not contain the same chemicals as disposable pads and do not have the same smell that many women notice when blood is absorbed by a disposable pad. They do require regular laundering and can be slightly bulkier than disposable pads. Menstrual cups are very popular in Europe and have recently begun gaining popularity among American women. Some menstrual cups like Softcup are disposable and inserted like a diaphragm. Reusable menstrual cups like the DivaCup or Lunette are made of medical-grade silicon and are inserted into the vagina and worn against the opening of the cervix. In both cases, the muscles of the vagina wall hold the cup in place. They can be worn for 12...

TL;DR in English: Familiarize yourself with your options. Consider using tampons. Try disposable pads. Look into using cloth pads. Invest in a menstrual cup. Change your tampon or pad regularly. Be prepared.

Rinse and clean the cod like normal, then drizzle with olive oil and lemon, lightly massaging it into the skin. Finely mince 2-3 cloves of garlic and one teaspoon of fresh thyme, sprinkling evenly on all the fish. Then dust with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste. Wrap in foil and cook like normal.  For a little spice, add some crushed red pepper. Garlic powder can be substituted for fresh garlic in a pinch. This wonderful dish is perfect with pasta or couscous. To make it, season the fish to taste with salt and pepper in the foil. Then top each fillet with chopped olives, capers, 2-3 slices of lime, and a pinch of freshly chopped rosemary. Drizzle everything with olive oil, seal the foil pouches, and enjoy. You'll need:  1/4 cup kalamata olives 1/4 cup capers (drained of liquid) 2-3 limes 2-3 teaspoons fresh rosemary. To do this, skip the aluminum foil, placing the fish in a glass baking dish instead. Brush each fillet with olive oil, dip it into the mixture below. Press the fish lightly into the breadcrumbs to coat, then cook in the baking dish for 12-15 minutes until firm.  1 1/2 cup breadcrumbs 1/2 cup parsley, chopped 2-3 garlic cloves, finely minced Zest from one lemon Salt and pepper, to taste. Put 1/4 cup of flour in a shallow dish and the flour season to taste with salt and pepper, about 1/2 teaspoon of each. Melt three tablespoons of butter and mix with three tablespoons of lemon juice, then dip the cod in this butter mixture. Dip the wet cod in the flour so that both sides of the fish are dusted with flour. Cook in a shallow baking dish for 12-15 minutes, drizzling any remaining butter mixture over the top.  You can add some cayenne pepper to the butter mixture for a slightly spicy kick. Garnish finished fish with chopped parsley and a lemon wedge.

TL;DR in English: Try out a light, lemon-herb cod seasoning. Sample a Mediterranean seasoning with olives, capers, and limes. Try a light breading for a healthy, oven "fried" fish. Cook the fish in a seasoned butter for rich flavor.

TL;DR in English:


Pay attention to the compliments. Ignore the insults. Don’t worry about making mistakes. Surround yourself with good people. Build your self-esteem.

Minor wrist sprains are often caused by repetitive tasks or hyperextending the joint by falling on an outstretched hand. Take a break from repetitive tasks if that's what you think led to your wrist injury. Talk to your boss about switching to a different activity for a week or so. If the sprain is exercise related, then you may be working out too aggressively or with bad form — consult with a personal trainer.  A mild wrist strain is often categorized as a Grade I sprain, which implies that ligaments are stretched a little too far, but not significantly.  Tolerable pain, mild inflammation or swelling, and some loss of movement and/or strength in the wrist are common symptoms of Grade I wrist sprains. The application of ice is an effective treatment for essentially all minor musculoskeletal injuries, including wrist sprains. Apply the ice to the most tender part of your wrist in order to reduce the swelling and pain. Ice should be applied for 10-15 minutes every 2-3 hours for a couple of days, then reduce the frequency as the pain and swelling subside.  Compressing the ice against your wrist with an elastic wrap will also help control the inflammation, but don't tie it too tight because complete restriction of blood flow could cause more damage to your hand and wrist. Always wrap ice or frozen gel packs in a thin towel in order to prevent frostbite on your skin. Wrapping your wrist in an Ace or tensor bandage, surgical tape, or a simple neoprene wrist support will offer a small degree of joint support and allow you to compress ice to your wrist easier, but the biggest benefit is likely psychological — essentially it's a visual reminder to take it easy with your wrist for a short period of time.  Wrap your wrist from your knuckles all the way up to the middle of your forearm, overlapping the elastic wrap as you go.  The wrist wrap, tape or neoprene wrist support should be snug, but not cutting off your circulation — make sure your hand doesn't turn blue, get cold or start to tingle. After the pain and...

TL;DR in English: Rest your wrist and be patient. Ice your sprained wrist. Use a basic wrist support. Do some light wrist stretches.

Focus on yourself. Many people will look at how other people in different lanes are doing, which will drag your speed down by a few seconds. More likely than not, you've already been tapering down your workouts, having easier practices to save energy for the meet. But these workouts are useless if you don't take them seriously. The week before a meet is about getting your stroke absolutely perfect, not just relaxing.  Even though you're doing shorter workouts, you should still give each one of them your best effort. Now is not the time to radically reform your stroke, but it is the time to "sharpen your blades," working on a consistent, efficient swimming motion. The day before the meet is not the day to go on a 5-mile hike in the sun with your buddies. It is a day to sit back, eat healthy food, and let your body relax. Make sure you get to bed at a decent hour and don't push yourself more than necessary.  Some light stretching is a good way to stay loose and limber for the race the next day. Some swimmers like a very light run or swim to stay loose. If you want a short workout, take it slow, stretching both before and afterward. There is no worse feeling than showing up at the meet without your suit, so give yourself 24 hours to catch anything you missed while packing. Another strategy is to always keep a spare set of goggles, trunks, and a water bottle in your bag at all times, ensuring you're prepared in a moment's notice. If you love music to get pumped up, charge your phone/music player the night before and make sure you have headphones. Now is not the time to mix up your routine -- if you have a favorite pre-race meal or something you always have before practices, then stick to the routine that works for you. Avoid greasy, fatty, or overly salty/sweet foods and stick to simple, natural ingredients. If you're looking for new meal options, you can mix and match the following categories of foods, aiming to eat well but not completely fill up:   Lean Proteins: Tuna, hard-boiled eggs, grilled chicken,...

TL;DR in English: Focus on perfecting your stroke in your last practices, not pushing yourself. Relax the day before the meet, resting and getting your sleep. Pack your essentials the night before, double checking everything in the morning. Eat a simple but complete meal 2-3 hours before racing. Double-check the time you need to arrive as well as your plans to get there. Set personal goals for the meet. Warm up as if you're already in the race. Remained focused on your own performance and routine, not other swimmers.

chop up some onions and garlic until they are finely diced. You can use use any kind of onions but green onions or leeks produce the best results as they are the most pungent. Shred up five large leaves of cabbage. Get a pint sized clear glass jar with a lid and scoop the ingredients into it. Add a small lock of either human hair or animal hair to the mix. The hair should rest on top of the mix and be intact as a bundle; this makes the next step easier. (Optional) For an even nastier stench, add one match head to the bundle of hair. Close the lid on the jar and then poke two holes in the lid to allow oxygen to flow into the jar (this will make the bundle of hair burn better inside the jar). Next use a magnifying glass to shine a beam through the jar and onto the bundle of hair until it starts to smoke inside the jar. you want to burn as much hair as possible.If you went with the optional in the last step, shine the beam on the match head. Put two pieces of tape over the holes in the lid and let the smoke filled jar sit in direct sunlight and leave it alone;this heats up the ingredients and lets them blend, and permeate everything in the jar. once the smoke inside the jar has settled, take the pieces of tape off the both holes This is to help the ingredients decompose inside the jar. after about a week, open the jar and take a whiff to see if its stink has blended enough. Only do this outside, NEVER in your house or anywhere else you don't want to badly stink up. Remember, the longer you leave it, the more wicked it's stench will be. A good indicator that it's ready is being able to detect a whiff from a few feet away after two or three weeks. Either open or break the jar in the area you want to stink and watch as people rapidly clear away from the obnoxious, haunting, suffocating stench. An alternative way of doing this is instead of using the whole jar, screen the rancid juice from the putrid mix with an old strainer into a small 2 Oz. pump spray bottle (one of those small clear plastic ones used for travel)...

TL;DR in English: Get the primary ingredients. Throw into a jar. Add the hair. Close and burn. Tape and let it sit. Brace yourself for the test. Unleash.

If possible, take off extra layers of clothing. Lightweight fabrics like silk, chiffon, thin cotton, and linen are the best choices for extreme heat. In addition, try to wear white and other light colors, which can help beat the heat by reflecting sunlight. If you can't get to an air conditioner or an electric fan, fanning yourself by hand can help lower your temperature. The key is to use a fan (or an improvised object) with a broad surface area and to avoid fanning yourself too vigorously. If your fanning motions are too fast, they'll get your blood pumping and make you hotter. Gentle motions can help the sweat on your skin evaporate, which helps lower your temperature. Dampening your skin with cool water while fanning yourself is also helpful. Try sitting comfortably and taking slow, deep breaths. As you inhale, count to 4, then hold your breath as you count to 7, and exhale for an 8 count. Do your controlled breathing exercises for at least 10 to 15 minutes to reduce your heart rate and lower your core temperature.  If it helps, put on some relaxing music or recordings of soothing nature sounds, like crashing waves or humpback whale songs. You could also give meditation a try. You can find guided meditations for relaxation on YouTube and other services. Relaxation techniques can help you cool off if you’re experiencing hot flashes. Fill a small basin with cold water and ice, then place your feet inside. Soak them for 15 minutes at a time to prevent ice burns. Add ice or refill the basin with cold water when it starts to get warm. If you want to reduce a fever, a lukewarm bath is better than a cold bath. Submerging yourself in cold water can cause shivering, which can increase your body temperature.  If you don’t have access to a tub, try using a damp sponge, washcloth, or sheet.  Having a fan blowing on you while you bathe or sponge yourself can also be effective.

TL;DR in English: Wear loose, lightweight, and light-colored clothing to stay cool. Fan yourself with long, gentle motions. Try relaxation techniques to help lower your core temperature. Soak your feet in cold water to cool your body down. Take a tepid bath or sponge bath to lower your body temperature.

Listen to a person when they give you a compliment. Accept the compliment and allow it to make you feel good about yourself. Thank the person for their compliment and make sure you don’t respond with a negative statement that puts yourself down and challenges the compliment. Remember the compliment for the times when you don’t feel so confident. Ignoring an insult doesn’t mean refusing to listen to another person. Think about what the person said and consider whether it’s constructive or not. Consider whether the person deserves to be listened to and how true their insult might be. Ignore any insults that are meant to demean you and make you feel less confident. Nothing will help sink your confidence faster than a nasty and spiteful insult. Take a small risk. Try doing something less than perfect and see what happens. The odds are good that the world won’t end if you’re not perfect. Worrying about being perfect will definitely make you less confident. Seek out people who make you feel good about yourself. Spend time with them and make them your friends. Get rid of people who are negative influences and who add stress to your life. Find positive and confident role models. You’ll find that these people’s behavior will soon rub off on you and make you more confident. Work on your self-esteem by identifying negative thoughts and challenging them. Replace them with constructive thoughts that make you feel confident and good. Although it’s important to consider your physical appearance and style when building confidence, true confidence comes from within.

TL;DR in English:


Tease your hair for additional volume. Add texture to your straight hair. Wear your hair down and natural. Wear your hair up.

Wipe the damaged part of the floor with a clean, damp cloth. Let the floor dry completely before you proceed. This method works for minor chips and scratches that can be repaired with putty or a marker specifically made to repair laminate flooring. For example, if you drop a knife and it leaves a small cut in the floor, you can easily repair the damage with a laminate floor repair kit. Get laminate floor repair putty for larger chip repairs or a floor repair marker for smaller scratches. Take an extra piece of flooring with you to the home improvement store, if you have one, to find the closest color. You can mix multiple colors of putty together to get a matching color if you can't find one close enough. Take off the cap of the marker and carefully color in the scratches. Let the marker dry for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Add more coats of the marker after it dries if the scratch is still visible. Scoop out a bit of putty on a putty knife and spread it into the chipped area. Use the putty knife to smooth it out so it's level with the rest of the board, then let it dry for 1 hour. If the chip is particularly deep, then apply several thin coats of the putty until it is even with the floor. Carefully wipe around the repaired area to remove any marker or filler that got on the undamaged flooring. If you used putty, be sure to do this before it dries. Use a cleaning solvent designed for laminate flooring if you need something stronger.

TL;DR in English: Clean the damaged area to remove any dirt from the chip or scratch. Buy a laminate floor repair kit that closely matches the color of your floor. Disguise small scratches with a floor repair marker. Fill in large chips using putty. Wipe around the area with a clean, dry cloth to remove extra marker or putty.

It will be easier to help co-workers understand gay and lesbian issues if you get to know them first and they view you as a colleague and friend. Give yourself some time to get to know co-workers before bringing up issues in conversation. Co-workers will be less receptive to learning about gay and lesbian issues if they don't know or trust you. It's important to conduct yourself professionally and responsibly when educating co-workers about gay and lesbian issues. It's admirable to be an advocate for the gay community, but letting it distract you from your duties could get you in trouble. Remember that not everyone will want your insights into the issues faced by gay and lesbian people. This could be because they don't agree with it or just because they don't feel the workplace is the right place to discuss it. Respect the wishes of individuals that don't want to discuss gay and lesbian issues at work. Bring up topics related to the gay and lesbian community casually to begin the discussion. Relate them to something already being discussed. Co-workers will likely be more receptive to discussing issues if you reference current news items or events that are related than if you just bring it up suddenly. Bringing in an expert on diversity can be very helpful for any company and its employees. Diversity training gives workers the tools they need to be sensitive to the differences among their fellow employees, as well as the differences among the people they come into contact with as a part of their job. Offer co-workers resources for further information if they want to know more than time in the workplace permits. Suggest articles or websites that will further educate them and help them understand the process of coming out, the meaning of pride activities, and current issues in the gay and lesbian community. If you are gay or lesbian, you can educate co-workers by just being your normal self while out. Be honest about your sexuality and try to represent the gay or lesbian community in the best way possible....

TL;DR in English: Get to know your coworkers. Maintain professionalism. Respect boundaries. Start a dialogue. Have professional diversity training. Recommend resources. Be out at work.

Look closely at their websites to determine whether they are supportive of LGBT adoptions. Check out the pictures, read the literature, and look for signs that they are LGBT friendly. Many agencies will provide a special page on the site with information for LGBT families. You should feel comfortable with the agency from the get-go.  Be alert to any red flags that may be cause to rule out an agency.  For example, agencies with a traditional religious affiliation. no pictures of same-sex couples and no mention of same-sex adoption may not be the best choice. If possible, ask other LGBT adoptive parents for a referral as you get started on your search for an agency. You may also request an in-person meeting so you can ask questions in person. This will help you get a feel for the agency's attitude toward and policies for LGBT families. Ask the following questions to determine whether the agency will be a good choice for you:  How many LGBT families has the agency worked with? What percentage of all families the agency represents are LGBT? How long do LGBT families typically wait to get matched with a child? If it's in a state with restrictive laws, how does the agency navigate restrictions regarding LGBT adoption? If you would like to adopt an infant, the birth mother will probably have a say in who gets to adopt her child. It will be the agency's job to present her with good potential matches. Make sure the agency regularly presents birth mothers with LGBT candidates if they believe they are a good match.  The agency should present LGBT candidates unless the birth mother specifically requests heterosexual candidates only. This particular issue can result in a very long wait time for LGBT candidates, especially in more conservative regions. Make sure the agency does everything possible to ensure fair treatment for LGBT candidates. If you are considering international adoption, it's important to find an agency that has a specific plan regarding LGBT families. Ask how they navigate cultural and legal differences...

TL;DR in English: Research and evaluate agencies. Call and speak with a staff person. Find out how the agency represents LGBT families to birth mothers. Ask how the agency handles intercountry adoptions for LGBT families. Choose an agency with other characteristics that meet your needs.

Teasing your pin-straight locks will transform your flat hair into bouncy locks.  Part your hair in the center or to the side. Use a comb to create two layers of hair on top of your head: a top layer and an underneath later. Secure the top layer with a duck clip. With a tailed comb, begin teasing the underneath layer 2 inches from your roots. After each downward stroke, fully remove the comb from your hair. Gradually increase your distance from the roots until you have created the amount of volume you desire. Unclip the top section and gently brush it over the teased underneath layer. Spray your teased tresses with hairspray to secure the look. Achieving the perfectly textured do is extra challenging when you have straight hair. Attempt to add texture to your pin-straight locks through one or more methods:  For a beachy look, curl the middle section of your hair only. To produce a wavy look, first plait your hair into one or more even braids. Slowly run your straightener down the length of each braid. Remove the elastic band, undo your plait, and observe your subtle waves. To achieve waves without the heat, braid your hair while damp and apply a sea salt spray. For a perfectly tousled look, spray your hair with dry shampoo and scrunch your locks. One of the benefits of straight hair is that it requires very little maintenance and effort to style. Leave your tools and products in the drawer or under the sink. Simply run a brush through your hair and wear it down for the day. Up-dos are appropriate for every occasion. Put your hair in a simple ponytail or a classic chignon. Tease your hair and pull it back into a half-ponytail. Experiment with different braids—try a fishtail braid, a crown braid, or a series of small side braids.

TL;DR in English:


Figure out your skin type Wash your face Use a cleanser that is suited to your skin type (it should be stated clearly on the bottle). Use toner Apply moisturizer Exfoliate regularly Always remove your makeup. Keep cleansing wipes on hand. Give your skin a makeup break. Get rid of old makeup. Don't forget the sunscreen

When you are alone, think about the things you’re your friend does and identify the reasons why they bother you.  Identifying these issues in the relationship will help you to work out strategies for how to cope and, hopefully, improve the relationship.  Does she often cancel plans with you at the last minute? Does she yell at you? Does she flirt with that guy that you like, even after you told her that you like him? If you have trouble identifying exactly what your friend does that bothers you so much, you may want to discuss your friend with another friend or someone else that you trust. After you have identified the things that your friend does that bother you, think about how those things make you feel. It is important to acknowledge the pain and other emotions that your friend has caused you and deal with those emotions in a healthy manner. If you refuse to acknowledge your emotions and deal with them, they may erupt in an unexpected or inappropriate manner. Confronting your friend will be difficult for you and even more difficult for him or her. Before you decide to confront the person, think about whether or not the issue is a big enough deal to require a confrontation. If you confront the person and the issue is rather minor, you may end up looking like you are nit-picking and that can cause more problems in the relationship. Not all problems are worth confronting your friend about, but you should still prepare yourself to handle common situations that you think may not be worth a confrontation. Having strategies in place can also help you to feel more in control when your mean friend says or does things that upset you.   If your friend often cancels plans with you at the last minute, make backup plans to lessen the damage of her canceling on you.   If certain topics cause your friend to make rude or insulting comments, avoid discussing those topics with him or her.

TL;DR in English: Take stock of the things that your friend does that bother you. Deal with your emotions. Determine whether or not the problem warrants a confrontation. Develop strategies for situations that do not require confrontation.

In order to solve any physics problem you must know which equation to use. Writing down all of the known information is the first step to finding the right equation. If you know values for the distance, time, and acceleration, you can use the following equation:  Initial velocity: Vi = (d / t) - [(a * t) / 2]  Understand what each symbol stands for.   Vi stands for “initial velocity”  d stands for “distance”  a stands for “acceleration”  t stands for “time” Once you have written the known information and determined the proper equation, you can fill in values for the appropriate variables. Carefully setting up each problem and writing out every step of the process is important. If you make a mistake, you can easily find it by looking back at all of your previous steps. With all of the numbers in place, use the proper order of operations to finish the problem. If you’re allowed, use a calculator to limit the number of simple math mistakes.  For example: An object accelerating west at 7 meters (23.0 ft) per second squared traveled a distance of 150 meters (492.1 ft) within 30 seconds. Calculate the initial velocity of that object.  Write the known information:  Vi = ?, d = 150 m, a = 7 m/s2, t = 30 s   Multiply the acceleration and time. a * t = 7 * 30 = 210 Divide the product by two.  (a * t) / 2 = 210 / 2 = 105 Divide the distance by the time. d / t = 150 / 30 = 5 Subtract your first quotient from the second quotient. Vi =  (d / t) - [(a * t) / 2] = 5 – 105 = -100 Vi = -100 m/s west Write your answer correctly. Include a unit of measurement, usually meters per second or m/s, as well as a direction the object was traveling in. Without providing information about the direction, you only have a measurement of speed rather than velocity.

TL;DR in English: Know the right equation to use. Fill in the known information. Solve the equation.

It is important to purchase a brand new spray bottle to use for spray bottle training. Do not just rinse out an old cleaning solution bottle. Otherwise, you could be spraying dangerous chemicals onto your cat.  Fill up the bottle with plain cold or room temperature water. Do not add any soap or other chemicals to the bottle. Just use plain water in the spray bottle. Never use the spray bottle on your cat when he is being good. Only use it when you catch him doing something he is not supposed to do. For example, if you notice that your cat is walking on the kitchen counter or scratching the sofa, then you could grab the bottle and use it on him. Don't use the bottle on him after he has already gotten down from the counter. When you spray the water at your cat, do not aim for his face. Aim for his belly or back and only spray the water bottle once. This should be enough to get your cat to stop doing what he is doing. Make sure that you praise your cat when he stops the unwanted behavior. Pet him or give him a treat for stopping. If your cat sees that you are the on spraying water at him, then he may start to distrust you or even fear you. This can be a serious problem for your relationship with your cat. If he distrusts or fears you, then he might not allow you to approach him or pet him.  To avoid trust issues between you and your cat, try to hide the spray bottle from his view. Put the spray bottle away in a cupboard after you are finished using it.

TL;DR in English: Fill a new spray bottle with plain water. Wait for your cat to do something he shouldn't. Pull the trigger to spray water at your cat. Try not to let your cat see that you are spraying him.

Depression symptoms can range from mild to moderate to severe. With mild depression, you may feel sad much of the time, or you might lack interest in activities that you once found enjoyable. In addition, mild depression will typically include a few (but usually not all) of the following symptoms:  Appetite loss or weight gain. Sleeping too much or too little. Increased agitation. Decreased movement. Low energy every day. Feeling worthless Feelings of inappropriate guilt. Difficulty concentrating. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) affects more people during the fall and winter months and may be caused by the body getting less sunlight. This may mean that the body produces less serotonin, a chemical that affects mood. Recognize the symptoms of SAD:  Increased need to sleep. Fatigue or reduced energy. Lack of concentration. Increased feeling of wanting to be alone. These symptoms typically subside in the spring and summer, but they can still produce mild depression in the winter. If you feel like you’ve got a case of the blues, it’s important to pay attention to your symptoms to determine if you’re becoming depressed. You may experience more frequent feelings or symptoms, or your symptoms may last for longer than 2 weeks. If you’re unsure about the progression of your symptoms, ask a trusted friend or family member for his/her opinion. Although your own experience and perspective is most important, it can be helpful to get someone else’s perspective on how you’re acting. A major traumatic life event, such as an unexpected death of a family member, can cause symptoms that resemble depression. But it may not be major depressive disorder. The context of the event and duration of symptoms may help, in part, to determine whether someone is experiencing grief or a major depressive disorder.  Feelings of worthlessness and thoughts of suicide are typically not present when in mourning. Positive memories of the deceased are possible during mourning and one may still gain pleasure from certain activities (for example,...

TL;DR in English: Understand the symptoms of depression. Recognize seasonal affective disorder. Pay attention when you have the blues. Pay attention to how you feel after a traumatic event. Keep track of your feelings and activities for two weeks.

. The first step to perfect skin is to figure out a skincare routine that works for you. Everybody's skin is unique, so what works for another person may not work for you. Take a long, hard look at your skin and decide whether it's normal, sensitive, dry, oily, or a combination.  If you have normal skin, you're lucky! Your skin doesn't get oily, your pores are small, your skin tone looks even and you rarely suffer from breakouts.  Sensitive skin tend to be very reactive - it may become dry, itchy or irritated depending on the weather, your lifestyle, and the products you use.  Dry skin usually feels tight after cleansing and can suffer from roughness or flakiness, especially when exposed to cold weather or dry air. Dry skin is prone to wrinkling, and tends to have no visible pores.  Oily skin can become greasy and shiny-looking within an hour after washing. The oil may even seep through your makeup and cause it to slide off. Oily skin is prone to blemishes and breakouts, and has visible pores.  Combination skin means that your skin can be dry and oily. It might be flaky and rough around the edges, but oily along the t-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). Combination skin tends to have visible pores only in the t-zone area. In addition, whether you have a light skin tone, medium skin tone or dark skin tone will also dictate what issues your skin is prone to, and should be taken into consideration when choosing skincare products. twice a day. Washing your face is super important as it cleans away dirt, oil, bacteria and traces of make-up that would otherwise be left sitting on your skin.  Stick to washing your face twice a day - once in the morning to cleanse any oil that has built up overnight, and once in the evening to remove any dirt and make-up from the day. If you don’t use makeup, you may not need to wash your face twice a day. Pin your hair back before you begin washing, to ensure that you have access to all the edges of your face. To cleanse your face, splash your face with warm water. Hot water can be too...
