letters to represent the parent alleles for each row and column. Write the letters for each space's row and column. Determine each potential offspring's phenotype. Use the squares to determine the probability of different phenotypes.

Gather the ends of the fabric and pin them together. Sew the arms together on each side, over the edges of the arm material. Pin the sides of the robe together in the same fashion. Fold the fleece approximately 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) on each side of the center slit. Sew a 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) hem into the edge of each center slit. Sew together a robe waist band from your scrap pieces of fleece. Turn your robe inside out and try it on. Cut 2 piece of scrap fleece that are 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) long and 2 inches (5 cm) wide. Put the finishing touches on your robe as desired. Finished.

In this noble quest to positively impact the world, it's easy to always look far down the road and overlook the opportunities you have to help others right now. Think about how you can improve someone's life today.  You may be very busy and think you don't have much time to spare, but you can still find little ways to help others. For example, you can set your alarm just a few minutes earlier than normal and scrape the ice off your neighbor's car before you head off to work. If you're in school, you can offer to organize a study group before a big exam or offer to share notes with your classmate who has been out with the flu for two weeks. Make a resolution to perform good deeds every day. The best way to do this is to look for little ways to spread joy and/or help others. For example:  Hold doors open for the people, making sure to do it with a welcoming smile. Let someone who looks to be in a hurry move in front of you while waiting at the grocery store. Buy a pack of diapers for the new parents across the street (even if you don't know them). Spend a few minutes cutting coupons from the newspaper so that you can pick up some extra groceries, and then donate them to your local food pantry. Sincerely ask those who serve you (your waiters and waitresses, check-out clerks, gas station attendants, etc.) how they are doing. Even though these are fairly small gestures, they can still have a big impact on others. You'll continue to find ways to make positive changes in others' lives on a daily basis, no matter how small. However, don't forget to think bigger and longer-term as well.  For example, do you want to be a philanthropist or work for a non-profit someday? Would you like to work for Doctors Without Borders? Do you want to make sure that all children have (beyond) adequate learning materials at school? Depending upon your longer-term goals, you may need to spend some of your time now developing and sharpening your skills and acquiring the requisite knowledge. This might mean that you'll need to enroll in...

TL;DR in English: Identify ways that you can help right now. Look for the little ways to help. Look to the future. Count your blessings.

The most basic Punnett squares are quite simple to set up. Begin by drawing a good-sized square, then dividing that square into four even boxes. When you're done, there should be two squares in each column and two squares in each row. On a Punnett square, columns are assigned to the mother and the rows to the father, or vice versa. Write a letter next to each row and column that represents each of the mother's and father's alleles. Use capital letters for dominant alleles and lowercase for recessive alleles. This is much easier to understand with an example. For instance, let's say you want to determine the odds that a couple's child will be able to roll its tongue. We can represent this with the letters R and r — uppercase for the dominant gene and lowercase for the recessive. If both parents are heterozygous (have one copy of each allele), we would write one "R" and one "r" along the top of the grid and one "R" and one "r" along the left side of the grid. Once you've figured out the alleles that each parent is contributing, filling in your Punnett square is easy. In each square, write the two-letter gene combination given from the mother and father's alleles. In other words, take the letter from the space's column and the letter from its row and write them together inside the space.  In our example, we would fill in our squares like this: Top left square: RR  Top right square: Rr  Bottom left square: Rr  Bottom right square: rr  Notice that, traditionally, dominant alleles (capital letters) are written first. Each square of a filled-in Punnett square represents an offspring that the two parents can have. Every square (and thus every offspring) is equally likely — in other words, on a 2x2 grid, there is a 1/4 possibility for any of the four possibilities. The different combinations of alleles represented on a Punnett square are called genotypes. Though genotypes represent genetic differences, the offspring won't necessarily turn out differently for each square (see step below.)  In our example Punnett...

TL;DR in English: Make a 2x2 square grid. Use letters to represent the parent alleles for each row and column. Write the letters for each space's row and column. Determine each potential offspring's genotype. Determine each potential offspring's phenotype. Use the squares to determine the probability of different phenotypes.

Let it get nice and hot before adding the sausage, as this will quickly brown the sides. A thick or heavy-bottomed pan will hold its heat even as you add cold ingredients, leading to a better final consistency. Arrange your ingredients near you and cut open the package of sausage, waiting to add until the pan gets hot. Let the milk get to room temperature as well -- it's best if it warms up on the counter a bit before adding it, so don't leave it in the fridge because you're worried it might spoil. It won't. A classic sausage gravy is spiced only with ground black pepper and the seasoning already on the sausage. You can use as much as you desire to get your perfect sausage gravy. Recipes range from 2 teaspoons to 2 whole tablespoons, so add it bit by bit and taste to get your desired amount. A pinch (1/4 teaspoon or so) of nutmeg is also added frequently. This gravy is best right off the stove, and it tends to thicken too much and congeal after the first day. Enjoy it hot and fresh, preferably slathered over fresh biscuits.

TL;DR in English: Heat your skillet, preferably cast iron or heavy-bottomed to medium heat. Season with ground black pepper to taste. Eat while still hot, adding a bit more milk and simmering if it gets too thick.

Since fleece doesn't fray, you can gather it right at the edge for a 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) seam allowance. Remember that this will be on the inside of your robe. Sew down each side on your sewing machine. Pin it into place. If you want to have a robe/blanket, sometimes referred to as a "snuggie," you can leave the back open so that you can wear the robe backwards when you are sitting in a chair or lying on a couch. Cut a piece that is approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide. If 1 piece of side fabric is not long enough, sew 2 pieces together. Test the fleece band around your waist to see if you can wrap it around you and tie it comfortably. Mark a place on the back of each side of your waist with a pin. When you take the robe off you can measure to make sure the pins are at the same height on your robe. Hand sew these loops onto the places where you have attached the pins. This will help to hold your waist band in place when it is not tied. You may want to fold in the edges of the arm holes, neck hole and bottom and sew a hem. You can also do a blanket stitch around all the open sides of the robe in a contrasting thread.

TL;DR in English:


Wear the Parisian knot for a professional look on cold days. Fold the scarf in half. Drape the folded scarf around your neck. Pull the loose ends through the loop. Readjust the knot as desired.

Take sharp scissors and cut the main image you want to use from each T-shirt. The square should be at least 12 inches (30 cm) or larger. For example, if you want to include a list of team names from the back of a shirt, cut a large square from the back. The squares don't need to be completely straight or smooth because you'll be cutting them again later. To stabilize the T-shirt squares, lay your squares face-down on an ironing board. Lay a piece of fusible interfacing over the square and iron it with low heat. This should fuse the interfacing to the back of the T-shirt square. Repeat this for each T-shirt square.  The fusible interfacing will make your T-shirts easier to work with since they'll prevent the knit fabric from stretching or sagging a lot. Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions for specific directions about fusing the interfacing. You'll need to place the bumpy, fusible adhesive side so it faces the fabric.

TL;DR in English: Cut out the center of each shirt into a rough square. Iron fusible interfacing to the back of each T-shirt square.

Collect a variety of soft wrapping materials you can use to pad the TV. These can include bubble wrap, newspaper, and moving blankets. In many cases, you can use materials that you are already going to move, such as blankets, clothes, and other linens. They can pad your TV and get moved in the process, and then you don't have to spend extra money buying additional packing materials. Wrap the TV in the soft packing materials you have found. Once the whole TV is totally wrapped, tape the padding in place. Wrapping the entire TV before taping ensures that the tape does not get on the TV, which could damage the screen. Once you have cushioned the face of the TV, it's a good idea to put a harder layer of protection on top of the cushioning. Use a piece of cardboard or thin plywood to protect the face of the TV. Regardless of whether you have a flat screen TV or another type, you should measure the entire front. Then cut the cardboard to size and tape it on the TV by wrapping tape all the way around it.  If you have a large TV, you may need to use several pieces of cardboard to cover the face of the TV. You can use the cardboard from a flattened moving box or any spare plywood you have around. If you can, construct a makeshift box out of pieces of cardboard. This will protect the TV more effectively than just protecting the front of it. If you haven't put your TV in a secure box, you need to be careful when moving it. Make sure that it is in a very protected spot in your moving truck, such as next to a mattress or other soft surface. You may even want to take the TV and move it in your own car. Taking it in the back seat of your car will help ensure that it gets to its destination safely.

TL;DR in English: Collect soft wrapping materials. Wrap the whole TV in cushioning. Place heavier protection over the face of the TV. Move the TV carefully.

Changing a behavior you have built up overtime takes a lot of time and persistence. Remember that change is a process that is not always linear. Don't be afraid to go back to the beginning and re-assess your behavior. At the same time, don't be hard on yourself if you find yourself unsuccessful on your first attempt. The more you practice and work through your passive aggressive tendencies, the more likely you are to successfully change your behavior. If you find yourself getting off track in your attempts to change passive-aggressive behavior, take a moment to pause and reflect on what is happening. If you want to stop acting passive aggressive, you may be wondering what your other options are. A healthier form of communication is known as “assertive” communication. Assertive communication is a healthy, respectful way to address and confront the person or situation that is causing you to become angry.  It involves speaking your mind when you are angry but maintaining respect for the other people around you. Part of assertive communication is acknowledging that your needs as well as the needs of the other person (or people) involved are important. This takes the focus off of you and shows that you are appreciative of the needs of others. Using “please” and “thank you” can go a long way towards seeming respectful of another. Treat the other party with respect, acknowledging that they have a side to the story as well. Remember to think of any actions you would like the other party to take as requests, not demands.  This will help you word your request appropriately.  It is important that you are specific and that you do your best to stick to the actual facts. While you do want to provide factual information, it is okay to include the way that you feel when you are expressing your anger.  You can emphasize words like “I feel like” or “it makes me feel,” which may help prevent the other party from becoming defensive. Ideally, you and the party to whom you are expressing your feelings can collaborate on a solution...

TL;DR in English: Give yourself time to change. Learn about assertive communication. Emphasize that both parties' needs are important. Use respect when communicating. Be clear and specific with requests. Express your feelings. Seek a solution to the problem. Listen and observe. Accept that conflicts are okay.

Use a formal letterhead if you have one. Otherwise, type your full name and the address of your company or institution at the center top of your cover page.  Include your phone number and your fax number beneath your name and address. Leave at least two blank lines below this header and the rest of the document. The contact information for both you and the receiver should be indicated toward the top of the page. These columns should be double-spaced.  It's a good idea to save your document as a template for future fax use, since the general format will remain the same. The most important quality to your fax cover sheet is that it be clear and easy to read. Each piece of information should be labeled, and each label should be in all capital letters and followed by a colon.  Label the date with "DATE," the receiver's name with "TO," your name with "FROM," and your phone number with "PHONE." In the United States, the date will be written in "Month, Day, Year," while in most other countries, it will be written "Day, Month, Year." Each piece of information should be labeled, and each label should be in all capital letters and followed by a colon.  Label the time with "TIME," the receiver's fax number with "FAX," your fax number with "FAX," and your e-mail address with "EMAIL." Note that the receiver's name and fax number should be placed on the same horizontal line. Likewise, your name and fax number should be placed on a shared horizontal line of their own. Directly below the information in your left column, state the number of pages contained in the fax. Introduce this information with something like, "Number of pages including cover sheet:" Note that this line does not need to be in all capital letters. The message does not need to be more than a few lines. Clearly state the sort of document being faxed and why you are faxing it to the receiver.  If you had previous contact with the receiver concerning this fax, state that information. Introduce your message with the label "MESSAGE:" Below your message, ask the...

TL;DR in English: Provide your name and address in the header. Format the cover sheet in two columns. List the date, receiver's name, sender's name, and sender's phone number in the left column. List the time, both fax numbers, and your e-mail address in the right column. Indicate the number of pages. Include a brief message. Write a disclaimer, if necessary.

Note that you can wear the loose ends of the scarf over your jacket or tucked inside your jacket. The former is more fashion-conscious, while the latter is warmer. This style will keep your neck very warm while also giving you a classy look. Drape the scarf over your forearm and fold it in half lengthwise. Use a scarf that is long and rectangular, as a shorter scarf will not have enough fabric for a Parisian knot. Use your arm to fold the scarf in half in order to create a precisely halved scarf. This type of knot has also been called the European Knot, European Loop, Loop Pull, and Slipknot. Hang the folded scarf off the back of your neck, bringing the loose ends and looped end across your chest. Allow the looped end to sit on your shoulder about chest high. This draping effect should mimic the classic drape style, except for the fact that the scarf is folded in half. Pull the loose end to make a tighter knot, but be careful not to pull too hard. Position the knot in front of your neck and wear the scarf under a coat. Only the loose ends should hang down in front of your chest. Tie the knot tightly around your neck for more warmth. Loosen the knot if you get too warm. Straighten out any twists in the loose ends of the scarf so that the ends lie flat against your chest so that it does not look bulky under your coat. A loose knot creates a more casual, laid back style than a tighter knot will.

Halter tops provide your large bust with the support it needs, but the deep neckline keeps you looking attractive and womanly. While these may provide your bust with the support it needs, they may make you look too matronly. All-over patterns prevent the eye from focusing on any one part of your body. As a result, your heavy bust and shoulders seem less noticeable. This balances out your larger chest with your slim hips. Racer-back straps provide more support that many other types, which may prevent your larger bust from bouncing around. Bathing suits that contain no underwiring may not be enough to keep your chest in check, and you may find an underwire top more comfortable and more attractive. These provide very little support, making you look even bustier as a result. Moreover, you are more likely to experience a wardrobe malfunction with nothing but skimpy string triangle cups to tame your bust.

TL;DR in English: Consider a swimsuit with a halter style top. Avoid swimsuits with high necklines. Gravitate toward patterns instead of solids. Look for swimsuits with draping in the middle. Try a top with a racer-back. Support your busty figure with underwire cups. Avoid triangle tops.

Are homes cheap right now or expensive? Try searching for a graph of household income to home prices and see whether the city in which you're searching has a high ratio relative to other cities. Note that some cities like New York and San Francisco may be historically immune to such ratios. Talk with a real estate agent, or several agents, about the relative price of homes. Even if you don't get a definitive answer (it's tough to gauge whether the housing market is cheap or expensive, as the information is not always clear), you may get leads on specific markets to watch for or even homes that are steals. This information is valuable. Is a second home still a safe investment without rent padding the list of expenses? If it's not, you should seriously question buying a second home. Too many families buy a second home that's too expensive, betting that they'll be able to rent when they're not occupying the second home. When renting becomes unfeasible, impossible, or generates much less than anticipated, the homeowners are left with a failing investment. Add up all the likely expenses of owning a home. Can you fit these expenses into your budget with room to spare? Yes, you'll be building equity in your second home, but if investing in a second home leaves you severely cash-strapped each month, you may be better off waiting until you've paid off your first mortgage, for example. Here are some likely expenses to consider:   Property taxes. Different from state to state; the average annual property tax in Los Angeles is $1,200 for a $100k home, or 1.2%. If property taxes are inordinately high in the town you are considering, investigate the mill rate (real estate taxes) in neighboring towns. You could save a lot of money in real estate taxes simply by purchasing a home in a town close to your preferred location that doesn’t have a high tax burden. Basic utilities. These should be much lower if the house goes unoccupied for large portions of the year, but should not go overlooked. Upgrading/upkeep expenses. A house...

TL;DR in English: Look at the market for buying. Assume that you won't be able to rent your second home. Make a list of possible expenses. Don't necessarily bank on the same tax credits you may have gotten for your first home. Consult a CPA or tax advisor before you go ahead and start looking for a second home.

Refer to the instructions on your dye to figure how long to let it sit in. Times will vary depending on the type of dye you're using. Do not leave the dye in longer than recommended, as this can damage your hair. Remove the foils from the bottom to the top. Use cool water to rinse out the excess dye. Continue to rinse your hair until the water coming off your head runs clear. It is totally natural to have a whole lot of color run in the shower. Do not panic if this happens. It does not mean your hair did not dye properly. It's a normal part of the process. Your kit should come with this conditioner, but if it did not, you can purchase conditioner made for dyed hair at a drugstore. Do not wash your hair with shampoo or normal conditioner. You should avoid washing your hair with these things for 24 to 48 hours so that the dye has time to really into your hair shaft.

TL;DR in English: Let the dye sit in for the recommended timeframe. Rinse your hair in cold water. Wash your hair with the post-dye conditioner found in your dyeing kit.

Tuberose bulbs are best planted in early spring after the last frost, but this requires a warm climate with a growing season at least 4 months long, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8, 9, or 10. If you have a shorter growing season, start the tuberose indoors in early spring and transfer once night temperatures outdoors are above 60ºF (15.5ºC).  If you live in zone 7 or below, you will need to bring tuberose indoors for the winter. Zones 8-10 correspond to a minimum winter temperature between 10ºF (-12.2ºC) and 35ºF (1.7ºC). Zone 7 has a minimum winter temperature of 0ºF (-17.8ºC). Tuberose needs well draining, highly nutritious soil. To improve your garden soil, mix in organic material such as peat moss, compost, or old, decomposing manure. Pile this mixture up 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) above the original soil surface to raise it above pooling water.  Tuberose prefers a soil pH between 6.5 to 7, but are fairly adaptable and should do fine in environments with pH as low as 5.5. You may use a large, well draining pot instead of a raised bed. Plant in a location that gets full sun for about 6-8 hours during the day. Tuberose is native to hot climates, and will only need to be moved to bright partial shade if it shows signs of withering or drying before the end of the growing season. If you have purchased a cluster of bulbs, plant the entire cluster. Place bulbs or clusters of bulbs about 6-8 inches (15-20cm) apart to allow for growth. Give the tuberose bulb a thorough watering to settle the soil around the plant. Move on to next section to learn how to care for the bulbs and growing plants. Growth should be visible within a few weeks.

Beginners will be more excited about learning if they can quickly play songs they know and love. Many popular songs have a relatively simple structure. For more complex songs that your student wants to play, look for simplified adaptations that sound similar to the original. Have your student make a list of their favorite songs, and look them up online. Pull songs that use chords your student already knows and have them practice with those songs. Although most attention is paid to the fretting hand, learning how to strum is a big part of learning how to play guitar. A beginner can play many popular songs using a basic down-up, down-up pattern. There are other basic strumming patterns that can open up additional songs for a beginner. Many popular songs only use 3 or 4 relatively common chords. Search online for songs that use the chords your beginning student has already learned. If you know the types of music your student likes, you can find songs they'll be more interested in learning how to play.  Many of these songs, such as "Free Falling," by Tom Petty, or "Lay Down Sally," by Eric Clapton, use only 3 chords within the CAGED system. Your student will better see progress and be motivated to go further if they can start playing popular songs they know relatively quickly.

TL;DR in English: Ask your student what songs they want to play. Use basic strumming patterns. Find popular 3- and 4-chord songs.

Take a measuring tape, and measure from the trunk to where you want the tree skirt to end. Add ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) to your measurement for seam allowance. Choose a fabric to be your main/outer fabric, and another fabric to be the underside/lining. Stack the two fabrics on top of each other, right sides together, then fold them in half. Tie a piece of string to a pen, then pin the other end the folded part of the fabric. Adjust the string until it matches your measurement, including the extra ½ inch (1.27 centimeters). Hold the pen until the string is taut, then use it like a compass to draw an arch. Adjust the string again until it is about 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) long. Hold the string taut, then draw a smaller arch. This will make the center part of the tree skirt that goes around the tree trunk.  If your tree has a really thick trunk, make the inner arch bigger. If your tree is very small, make the inner arch smaller. Cut the outer arch first, then the inner one. Make sure that you cut through all layers of fabric at the same time. Don't unfold the fabric yet. Start cutting at the outer edge of the big arch, and stop cutting when you reach the inner arch. Use one of the folds as a guide. This will create the opening slit. Unfold the circles when you are done. Choose ribbons that are between ½ and 1 inch (1.27 and 2.54 centimeters) wide. They can be the same color as your skirt or a contrasting one. If you have a small tree skirt, cut four pieces of ribbon instead. Use thinner ribbon, if you can. Turn the main/outer fabric circle so that the right side is facing you. Pin the ribbons to the open slit, three on each side. Make sure that the ribbons are facing into the circle and are not sticking out beyond the slit. Place a set of ribbon on the top of the slit, and another at the bottom. Place the last set of ribbons in the middle. Pin the two skirt pieces together with the right sides facing in. Make sure that the ribbon closures are tucked inside. Sew around the inner and outer arches as well as...

TL;DR in English: Decide how big you want your tree skirt to be. Stack two pieces of fabric together, then fold them in half. Draw an arch on the fabric based on your measurement. Draw a smaller arch. Cut the fabric out. Cut along one of the folded edges to open the skirt. Cut six pieces of 6-inch (15.24-centimeter) long ribbon. Pin the ribbons to the slit on the main fabric. Sew the skirt together. Snip the corners and cut notches into the curved edges. Turn the skirt inside out and press it flat with an iron. Sew the gap shut. Add some finishing touches, if desired.

Jokers, or class clowns, devote their time and energy to providing comic relief for the classroom. When you are in the mood for the class clown’s antics, their jokes are hilarious; when you are not in the mood, their attempts and humor can drive you mad. Since class clowns thrive on the reaction of their “crowd,” the best way to ignore a joker is to have no physical or verbal reaction to their jokes.  Class clowns aim to please and are highly sensitive to criticism. If you can not remain silent, a choice remark could put a temporary end to their comedy bit. If you get in trouble for something the class clown did, don’t overreact. Remain calm and ask the teacher to speak with you after class. When you are speaking one on one with the teacher, explain your side of the story and apologize for any inconvenience you may have caused. Work with your teacher to develop a plan on how to avoid situations like this in the future. Overly competitive students thrive on the knowledge that they are better than others. Their determination to prove themselves as superior students can leave others in the class feeling unintelligent and overlooked. If a competitive classmate asks you how you did on an assignment, they are just looking for chance to brag about their score. When this happens, just walk away. If their pestering persists, tell them that you prefer to keep your grades private. For example, you may say: “Sorry, I like to keep that kind of information to myself,” “You did really well on the test. Thanks for sharing your score; I prefer to keep mine private,” or “Please stop asking me. I am not comfortable sharing my grade with you.” Overly talkative classmates often struggle with self-awareness and egotism. Ignoring chatterboxes is extremely difficult. Their incessant chatter is inconsiderate and distracting. Try to tune them out and stay focused on the lecture or task at hand. If necessary, politely ask them to be quiet or speak softer.  For instance, you may say: “I’m having a hard time hearing the teacher. Will you...

TL;DR in English: Pay no attention to the class clown. Limit your interactions with competitive students. Tune out chatterboxes.

Looking at a color wheel can help you to sift through the many different hair colors and select one that will look good on you.  For example, if you have cool, pale skin, then opt for warm colors, such as golden browns and copper reds. If you have tan skin, then opt for cooler hair colors, such as ash browns and blondes. If you have warm undertones with yellow, pick a hair color that leans towards like chestnut, dark golden brown, auburn and mahogany. Then highlight using a red base, such as cinnamon or copper. If you choose a blonde base or blonde highlights, you may end up overemphasizing your yellow undertone. If you have cool tones with a pink or blue undertone, look for an intense brown, red, or blonde base. Then, pick highlights that have a honey-wheat or ash look. This will help contrast your cool undertones. Choose burgundy, cherry, or garnet hair color for dark skin with cool undertones. You can use these as a base color or highlight color. The cool red tones in this hair color give your skin a smooth even look.

TL;DR in English: Select a shade that is the opposite of your skin tone on a color wheel. Choose a deep rich base for your hair color. Choose an intense color base for your hair.

Use a hair clip or tie to pull all of your hair together except for one section. Find the first and closest section of artificial hair at the bottom of your head. You want to start at the bottom and work your way up so you know where you’ve already removed extensions. Oil helps break up any chemical bonds from glue or tape. Use either almond oil, coconut oil, baby oil, olive oil, or a hair salon product specifically for removing extensions. Dab or gently rub the oil into the extension bond and wait for the bond to break down.  The oil needs time to seep into the bonds to break them down. Wait at least 15 minutes or even more time for thick tape or glue bonds.  Make sure you set aside time to remove your extensions. You don’t want to be caught off guard with half a head of fake hair that you didn’t have time to finish removing. Rinse your hair thoroughly and then coat your entire head in conditioner. Work the conditioner into your roots and the tape or glue bonds. Wrap your head in a towel and wait 20 minutes. After unwrapping, use a wide toothed comb to gently comb out your extensions.  This can help remove stubborn bonds if using oil did not remove your extensions completely. Comb from the tips of your hair and work your way up to the roots so that you don’t tangle you natural and fake hair together, which makes combing out the fake hair more difficult and painful. For each section, it may take several repetitions of applying oil or wrapping your hair in a towel to remove all of the glue. Work through each section of hair entirely before letting down another section of your from your ponytail or hair clip. Wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo and nourishing conditioner afterward.  Even after repeated treatments, you may still have some small bits of glue left in your hair. These will work their way out gradually over a few days to a few weeks.

Include your specialty in your law firm name. Think about branding when choosing a name for your law firm. Consider trademarking your firm’s name.

It's a good idea to pack an extra, clean shirt for yourself, in case one of the babies spits up on your clothes or you spill milk or baby food on yourself. The chances of something like this happening are doubled with twins. Opt for a shirt made from a crease-proof material, as it might be sitting at the bottom of the diaper bag for a while! Being hungry tends to make people more irritable and impatient, which is not a good thing when you're dealing with twins. Therefore, it's a good idea to pack some snacks for yourself that are quick and easy to eat, such as cereal bars, small packs of nuts or raisins, or a yogurt (in a cool pack). You should also pack a bottle of water so you can stay hydrated. This is particularly important if you are breastfeeding twins. Choose the safest pocket of the bag that closes with a zipper and use it for storing important things like car keys, home keys, your cell phone, and money. This will prevent you from having to carry a handbag in addition to a diaper bag. Mothers who enjoy bringing their twin babies to the park or for long walks will benefit from packing items like lip balm and hairpins in the diaper bag, especially if it is very windy or cold outside.

TL;DR in English: Pack a fresh shirt. Include some quick, easy snacks. Assign a pocket of the diaper bag for important items like money and keys. Think about packing some lip balm and hair pins.

During these visits your dentist will check on any past work that’s been done and look for any potential problems. They may suggest a treatment plan that requires additional visits or even give you medication to fight any infections.  For example, if your dentist suspects gingivitis, they may give you a prescription mouthwash to use. Getting twice yearly teeth cleanings also prevents the accumulation of plaque, which can lead to cavities. If you are prescribed a mouthwash by your dentist, use it according to their directions and do not cut the treatment short. A mouthwash can prepare your mouth for surgery or it can help you to avoid infections afterwards. It might also reduce the possibility of other teeth rotting. The mouthwash will likely come with a dosage cup for you to use and specific instructions regarding how long and how often to rinse. Your dentist can apply a fluoride treatment to your teeth during a regular office visit. This coating protects your teeth from additional rotting, and can make fillings last longer. Fluoride carries very few side effects.  Ask your dentist about fluoride toothpaste. This is a great way to get extra fluoride if a coating treatment is not an option. If your child is suffering from rotting teeth, be careful when using fluoride toothpaste or treatments. Exposing a child to extra fluoride can actually speed up any damage to teeth. This is a coating that your dentist applies with a small brush to your teeth. It takes only minutes, but it can protect your teeth from additional damage. Getting your back teeth (molars) sealed is an especially good idea. Most dentists will not seal teeth that are already beginning to rot due to cavities. This would only trap the bad bacteria inside. Talk with your dentist about other options for those damaged teeth. If your rotting teeth are due to persistent gum problems, your dentist may be able to slow the decay by cleaning inside the gum flaps. This is an in-office procedure where your dentist will pull your gums away from your teeth and...

TL;DR in English: Get a dental check-up every 6 months. Take any mouthwashes as directed by your dentist. Ask for fluoride treatments. Consider getting your teeth professionally sealed. Request a deep gum cleaning from your dentist.

if you do. Smoking is one of the worst things you can do to introduce toxins into your body. Aside from nicotine, most commercial cigarette brands contain over 4000 other toxic chemicals. Even after you quit smoking, these toxins will linger in your body for some time. For this reason - smoking should be the first thing to go when trying to cleanse your body naturally. Here's one suggestion that should be welcome news! A good, intense massage can actually help to rid the body of excess toxins, when performed by a trained professional. The massage needs to focus on pressure points within the muscles, where toxins have a tendency to accumulate. The deep stimulation of this muscle tissue can actually release the toxins, allowing them to be flushed naturally from the system.  Make sure you see a registered massage therapist who has experience with toxin-releasing massage techniques. Remember to drink plenty of water after your massage session to speed up the flushing-out process. to help remove built-up toxins. Acupuncture is a form of holistic treatment which works by inserting tiny needs into the skin at pressure points around the body.  Acupuncture can help to cleanse the body by targeting pressure points where toxins tend to build up. The toxins are then released, so that they can be naturally flushed out of your system.  Though it may not sound like it, acupuncture can be a very relaxing experience and many people have found it to be an extremely effective treatment for ailments as diverse as sinus blockages and fertility problems.  Make sure you see a licensed acupuncturist for treatment, as it can be dangerous when practiced incorrectly. This one can be tricky, especially in modern times when air pollution and overuse of chemicals is so pervasive in Western society. Whenever possible you should try to surround yourself with clean fresh air and avoid breathing in city smog and factory smoke. Escape to the country or seaside for the weekend, if you can, to clear the city from your lungs.  Also avoid...

The only real way to successfully perform is practice. In the weeks leading up to your performance, make sure you make time each day to practice. If you've rehearsed well, you'll do a better job the day of your performance.  Incorporate practice time into your daily routine. Take an hour or so to practice each day. Challenge yourself a little more with each practice session. At first, you may sing while reading the lyrics on the page. As you continue to practice, try to rely more and more on memorization alone. To study your stage presence, try singing in front of a mirror and studying your facial expressions. You can also record yourself singing and play it back to yourself. You can identify any weak spots and focus on those in another practice session. Performing a song is more than just hitting the right notes. You want to know what a song means so you can deliver the lyrics with the right resonance. As you prepare for your performance, strive to learn about the song.  Think about the speaker behind the song. How does the speaker feel and why? With a song from, say, a musical this can be easy. You can look into the character's history. With a song with a more abstract narrator, however, the information you have about the singer is limited to the song. Read through the lyrics and try to analyze what's happening emotionally. How does the narrator feel? Why? Try to learn a bit about the writer of the song. This can help you better understand what the song may be about. If a writer has a sad romantic history, for example, knowing this brings a lot of added context to a love song. If you're nervous about singing on stage, try attending a few karaoke nights with friends or family members. Karaoke can present you with a low stakes chance to test out your skills to a small audience. This can be especially helpful if you're singing a popular song that's likely to be an option for karaoke selection. One of the most important aspects to a live performance is making sure you remember your lyrics. If you're nervous,...

TL;DR in English: Practice. Study the song. Go to a few karaoke nights. Make sure you memorize the lyrics. Rehearse in front of an audience.

If you specialize in criminal law, family law, tax law or other areas, consider choosing a name that reflects your area of legal expertise. For example, The Davis Family Law Group signals that your firm specializes in family law. A long name might be used professionally, and then shortened when used in marketing and advertising materials. For example, a firm legally called Legacy Tax & Trust could simply be called Legacy by its clients and partners. If the branding associated with your firm name is extremely distinctive, you may consider trademarking the firm name and the brand.  To trademark your business name, simply visit the United States Patent and Trademark Office website. There is a form available online that will register your trademark. Download this form and fill it out. The form will require you to provide information about your business. Additionally, the fee to trademark a business name is between $275 and $325.

TL;DR in English:


Blow your nose correctly. Try using a sinus or saline irrigation container to clear your nasal passages. Use steam treatments. Take a hot shower. Drink hot fluids.

Exercise can help clear your mind, and it often lessens the intensity of emotion that you're feeling. Any kind of exercise you enjoy is fine, from swimming to walking. When you're feeling stressed or anxious about a situation, it's usually because nothing is resolved, and you can't decide what kind of action to take. Taking an action, even if it's not the perfect one, often relieves some stress. For instance, if you're stressing over a family situation, sit your family down to discuss it. Try to come up with a solution together. Mindfulness is the act of being fully present in what you're doing. You savor each bite of your food, for instance, and you give yourself over to the moment when your favorite song comes on the radio. You take a moment to breathe in the cool morning air or appreciate the sunrise. Being mindful helps with stress because it pulls you out of your head into your body. It forces you to feel instead of think. Whether you're an avid gardener, love to read, or enjoy cooking, block out time for those activities. When you do things you love, you enter a flow state where you lose track of time and leave your stress behind. Make sure you're making time at least 2 to 3 days per week to do the things you love, even if it's just for a short period. Spending time relaxing each week is vital to lowering your stress levels. Try relaxing activities like taking a bath, getting a massage, listening to music, practicing yoga, or meditating to keep your stress down.  Engage in relaxation activities at least 2-3 times a week. In fact, many people find a daily meditation practice does wonders for their stress levels. If you find yourself in a stressful situation, try a deep breathing technique. Close your eyes, and focus on your breathing. Breathe in deeply through your nose, counting to 4 in your head. Hold for 4 counts, and then breathe out for 4 counts. Keep using this technique until you feel yourself relax. Socializing is important for lowering stress levels, as it gives you a chance to laugh and let...

TL;DR in English: Get in at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week. Take action on things that are stressing you out. Practice mindfulness in your daily interactions. Take time out each week to do the things you love. Learn relaxation techniques to lower stress levels. Spend time with people you love. Sleep 7-9 hours

If you have experienced hair loss, it’s important to see your doctor to find a cause. You may have an underlying disease that’s causing your hair loss, and this may require treatment for you to regrow your hair. Your doctor may order blood tests to assess hormone levels that can cause hair loss. Minoxidil is an over the counter liquid or foam that you massage into your scalp twice daily. This medication may help promote hair growth or decrease hair loss, or even both.  Men and women can use minoxidil and you don’t need a prescription.  Regrowth peaks at about 16 weeks. You need to continuously reapply minoxidil to maintain the benefits.  You may experience some side effects such as scalp irritation, rapid heart rate, and may even have some hair growth on the face and hands.  You can purchase minoxidil at most pharmacies and some grocery stores. If medications and home treatments don’t help hair regrowth, have hair transplant or restoration surgery. This can immediately help fill out thinning hair and can stimulate hair regrowth.  Hair transplants or restoration are procedures in which you doctor takes small plugs of hair from different parts of your scalp and implants them into thinner or bald sections.  You may need to take hair loss medication before surgery.  Hair transplants can be very painful and cause infection and scarring.  Be aware that hair transplants and restoration are expensive and insurance may not cover either procedure. Some studies have shown that lower-level laser device treatment can help decrease hair loss and improve thickness. Although more research is necessary, laser treatment may be a good option for you if medications don’t work and you don’t want to undergo a painful hair transplant. There are no known side effects of laser therapy for hair loss.

TL;DR in English: See your doctor. Rub minoxidil into your scalp. Have surgery to restore or transplant hair. Undergo laser therapy.

Find out if your job performance is evaluated regularly, and if so, when. Your company could enforce a maximum raise; they could also award raises to everybody at a particular time, or base them on merit. Be prepared to discuss your specific achievements and accomplishments from the past year.  Evaluate your worth again. Has the market in salary compensation for your particular job changed? Have you stepped out of your job description and taken on additional duties? Mention these things at your meeting. Practice what you will say. Don't focus on why you need the money but why you deserve the extra pay. You don't have to be serious at first about accepting it; but having another job offer, with higher pay, that you can point to during salary negotiations, is a powerful way to leverage your case. It's always best to look for a job when you already have a job, not the other way around. If you start looking for a different job, you might find an environment and offer that's better suited for you. It always helps to be on the lookout. You don't have to accept the offer, but you might find an offer that's good to pass up. Describe the specific business reasons why you deserve a raise. Is it because you're underpaid compared to the rest of the market? It is because your performance is above-average and you contribute significantly to the company's bottom line? Whatever it is, make your case in easy-to-follow language that's persistent but persuasive. If you've been denied a raise, ask why and how you can secure a raise in the future. Suggest an alternative, such as a bonus or some kind of incentive or perk. Ask if there's money for additional training to show you're still committed to the job. It never helps to get sour or aggressive when things don't go your way. If you feel like your services are being underappreciated, it's in your best interest to start seriously looking for a new job, where your pay is more in line with your production, and your production is valued by the rest of the company.

TL;DR in English: Become familiar with your company's compensation policy. Prior to a job performance evaluation, schedule a meeting with your direct supervisor or boss. Increase your leverage by finding another job with higher pay. Make your case. Stand your ground. If all fails, keep smiling and thank your supervisor for his or her time.

This is the first and foremost thing you need to do. Once you feel you have the confidence to move forward, then you move to the next step. This is most important if you want to have a chance to form a garage band that will stay together. Life expectancy of a garage band is 1 year. Many garage bands stay together for decades. This is because they all think the same way and as a band and a not individuals. Always think what is best for the band. One cannot have a garage band without one. If you have a garage, empty the cars out of it. If the cars are already out of it, empty out sporting equipment, and ten foot wide paintings. A basement might work as well, however it creates problems for the drummer and when lugging a 25 pound amplifier down 70-year old wooden steps. Besides, garages are so much cooler. Having rugs lying around will help reduce the bass vibrations going all over the place. Make sure there is electricity and some dim lighting for setting a depressing non-conformist mood. The most important part of creating a rock band. You need instruments to play, and although not always mandatory, you will greatly benefit by knowing how to play it, as explained in detail in step three. Necessary instruments are a drum set, Electric Guitar, and Bass. You may elaborate, adding another guitar, keyboard, organist, or solo singer. individual background singers are strongly unadvised, due to the high level of un-garageness. Although cheap instruments might look unattractive in the store, they're a bargain for your buck and add to the "grunge" appeal of your garage band. Stay away from fancy and "professional" equipment, as they also have a high level of un-garageness. For instance, buying a real Fender Strat could cost you up to $1200, what kind of Garage rocker would you be if you had that kind of money I ask you? Instead, go to a pawn shop and buy a $50 Strat rip-off missing a fret or two, and put some stickers on it. The same rule basically applies to gear (amps, mics, pedals, etc.) as to instruments. Do not...

TL;DR in English: Learn how to play your instruments. Find like minded musicians. Get a Garage. Have instruments. Buy gear. Name the band: Immerse yourself in rock knowledge.

It's natural to want to blow your nose when you're feeling stuffed up, but just be careful not to overdo it. While blowing your nose can indeed help to clear the nasal passages of excess mucus, blowing too hard or too frequently can actually have adverse effects. Any kind of bottle or container with a thin spout can be used with a saline solution to thin and flush mucus from the nasal passages.  Make your own saline solution by mixing half a teaspoon of kosher salt into a cup of water. Fill the container with the saline solution, tilt your head to one side (over a sink), and insert the spout into one nostril and pour. The solution should flow in one nostril before coming out the other. When the water stops dripping, blow your nose gently, then repeat the process on the opposite side Steam can be really useful when it comes to clearing your head. The heat of the steam loosens mucus while the moisture from the water helps to relieve dry nasal passages. Use steam in one of the following ways: Give yourself a steam facial by boiling a pot of water. Pour that water into a separate bowl and then place your face over the steaming water. Hold a towel over your head to keep the steam in. Add a couple of drops of a sinus-clearing essential oil (such as tea tree or peppermint) to maximize the sinus-clearing benefits. Yes, even if you're feeling under the weather, you shouldn't skip your daily shower as it can actually help to clear a cold faster. Heat the water to a high, yet comfortable temperature  and let the bathroom steam up as much as possible. If the heat leaves you feeling a little weak or dizzy, consider bringing a plastic chair or stool into the shower with you. A hot, steamy bath can work wonders for you when you have a cold - not just in terms of decongestion, but also in terms of relaxation and heat. Again, try to make the water as hot as possible. If you decide to wash your hair (either in the bath or shower) remember to dry your hair thoroughly afterwards, as damp hair can cause you to lose body heat,...

Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda over smelly flip flops or sandals. Deodorize sandals by putting them into a plastic bag with ½ cup (90 grams) of baking soda. Clean dirty and smelly flip flops with a paste made from baking soda and water. Give rubber flip flops a soak in baking soda and water.

Fried cauliflower tastes best when it's freshly cooked, so serve it while it's still hot. You can taste it first and season it with more salt, if you want to. Try garnishing with fresh parsley for a nicer presentation! Refrigerate any leftovers for 3-5 days in an airtight container, or tightly wrapped in aluminum foil or plastic wrap.

TL;DR in English: Serve the cauliflower warm.

Tournaments are generally planned around weekends, so look at the yearly calendar and pick several weekends that could work. As you call venues and equipment rental companies, use the process of elimination to decide which option will be the most convenient and have the most availability. Avoid planning a tournament on holidays, 3-day weekends, and times when bad weather could be a problem. Approach some local businesses and the town Visitor’s Board and ask them if they’re interested in donating money or prizes for the winning teams in return for advertising. Oftentimes, Visitor’s Boards will donate at least $1,000 for larger tournaments that will draw in people from out of town. You’ll need 2 qualified referees to officiate each game. To make this process easier, you can delegate this job and hire a head official to gather and coordinate a team of referees. If the tournament is an informal event with a lower budget, you can also ask each team to provide their own referees. You’ll need to teach the volunteers how to keep score prior to the tournament, so you may want to meet up with them ahead of time. They’ll need to learn how to keep track of points, sub players in and out, and track libero players. You should also show them how to use the scorekeeping device they’ll be using, whether a flipboard or an electronic system. If you need help covering the cost of the venue and equipment, you may need to charge a fee to break even. You could also make the tournament based around a charity and donate the collected fees to a specific cause. You could charge the teams for entrance, or the spectators a small admission fee, or both. This way, you’ll have all the information you’ll need to create divisions. Make sure that the coaches and teams know about the deadline. If they’ve expressed interest but haven’t signed up yet, send regular reminders up until the cut-off date. To keep the competition fair and fun, it’s important to put similar teams together. If your tournament is open to the community, you’ll probably...

TL;DR in English: Choose a date for the tournament by process of elimination. Find sponsors for the event. Hire referees to officiate the games. Ask for volunteers to help with scorekeeping. Decide whether or not you want to charge an entrance fee. Set the registration deadline 1-2 weeks before the event. Add divisions if you’ll be hosting a wide variety of teams. Create brackets for the tournament to follow. Make a schedule based on the brackets.

You may need to use a letter opener or similar tool to help you prise open the stuck down edges of the envelope. Lay it open and flat on a sheet of cardstock.  Choose an envelope of the size you want the gift envelope to be. It's a good idea to have a few envelopes to open up, in case you rip any when trying to create the template. Do so using a pencil, as you only need to follow the lines and don't want the design marring the end result. Note that for the sake of clear demonstration, this article's example has used a black marker. Once you've drawn the outline onto the cardstock,  keep the template for use later in these steps. It's also useful to keep it if you intend on making more gift envelopes for other people. After removal, draw the inner fold lines for the envelope. These are the lines that form the inside of the envelope, its inner rectangle shape. See the image accompanying this step for clarity. Drawing the inner lines can be skipped if you have a steady eye for keeping a line as you score (indent mark) the rectangle in the following step. It is recommended though that you add the lines if you're a beginner or find it hard to keep straight lines when drawing or cutting. Scoring here means to make a small "almost" cut that is actually an indentation. This is made to aid with making the folds on the stiff card. Do the scoring using scissors; gently run the tip of one of the scissor blades down each fold line. It is important to do this lightly as you're only making an indentation, not cutting the card.  Once you've scored the rectangle, gently bend to create the folds of the envelope. This isn't needed for the gift wrapping outer part of the envelope because gift wrapping is far more flexible than the cardstock. Go slowly and carefully to ensure the cut is even and neat. Discard the edge pieces (or keep as scrap paper for reuse in craft projects).

TL;DR in English: Gently pull apart a standard envelope. Draw the outline of the standard envelope onto the cardstock. Remove the template envelope. Score the fold lines that you drew in the prior step. Cut out the external edges of the envelope following the template lines drawing on the cardstock.

You can cut the cake into half or thirds for a start and use creativity on how small you want the pieces to be. Each piece represents a block. Make them look like stacking blocks that have been dropped on the tray; they don't have to line up perfectly! Choose a different color for each cake block. Use a frosting knife to spread a thin layer of frosting to cover each block. Place the tray of blocks in the refrigerator while you prepare the marshmallows. The marshmallow halves will make up the nodes on the blocks. Make enough marshmallow halves so that the square cake pieces each get 4 halves, the big rectangles get 6, and the small rectangles get 2. Remove the cake blocks from the refrigerator. Take a marshmallow half and spread a thin layer of icing coordinated with the frosting color of the cake block you're decorating. For example, if you're working with a cake block you frosted in blue, use blue frosting on the marshmallow half. Continuing in this way, place the marshmallow halves in even rows on the cake blocks so that each block has the correct number of halves. Use the rest of the frosting to spread another layer over the cake blocks, this time covering the marshmallows as well. Continue until all of the cake blocks have been neatly frosted.

TL;DR in English: Cut the cooled cake into squares and rectangles. Arrange the cake blocks on a large tray. Frost the cake blocks. Cut each marshmallow in half. Add the marshmallow half to the blocks. Finish frosting the cake. Place the finished cake in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Finished.

If you don't want to make a mess on your floor, place your shoes down on a tray or sheet of newspaper first. Cover the insoles with a thick layer of baking soda, and wait 24 hours. Once the time is up, shake the baking soda off of the shoes. If there is any residue, you can either vacuum it up, or wipe it off with a damp cloth. Place the sandals into the bag first, then add the baking soda. Tie the bag shut tightly, and shake it. Leave the shoes in the bag for 24 to 48 hours, then take the sandals out. Shake off any excess baking soda.  This method may be safe to use on leather sandals, but it is best used sparingly. If you use it too often, your sandals may become dry and brittle. You can also use a large, plastic, zippered bag instead—as long as your sandals can fit comfortably inside. This will not only scrub any dirt away, but also help deodorize them as well. In a small dish, combine some baking soda with enough water to make a paste. Scrub the paste into the flip flops using an old toothbrush. Wait 5 minutes, then rinse them clean with fresh water. Let them air dry before wearing them again.  You can also use an old manicure brush instead. If the flip flops still smell, repeat the process, but with salted water instead. Salt has natural deodorizing properties. You can also use Epsom salt instead, which is good for neutralizing bad odors. Fill a small, plastic tub with one part baking soda and 10 parts water. Stir it to combine, then add the flip flops. Leave the flip flops in the water for at least 12 hours; 24 to 48 hours would be better. Once the time is up, take the flip flops out, and let them air dry.  This method may be used on sandals, as long as they can be soaked or washed. If the flip flops won't stay down, weigh them down using heavy jars or rocks. If you are using a shallow tray, place the flip flops face-down; most of the smell is in the insoles.

TL;DR in English:

with a round brush. Start with damp, freshly-washed hair. Blow dry your hair straight by running your hair between a hairdryer and a round barrel brush. Keep the round brush under your hair, and the hair dryer over your hair. Use a flat iron to smooth out flyaways.  If you don't have an excessive amount of flyaways, rub a pea sized amount of serum in the palm of your hands and apply it to your hair to tame the flyaways. Work in sections from 1 side of your head to the other. You can use this technique on bangs as well. Make sure that your hair is dry first. Apply a heat protection spray, then let it dry as well. Use a flat iron to straighten your hair like you normally would. As you reach the ends, twist your wrist to rotate the iron upwards. Let your hair cool before setting the style with hairspray. If you have curly hair, blow dry it straight with a round brush first. Keep the brush on top of your hair rather than under it so that the ends curl outward. Touch things up with a flat iron, if needed. Apply a good heat protectant, then blow dry your hair as straight using a round brush. You can also use either a paddle brush or a blow dryer with a comb/pik attachment. Gather the upper three-quarters of your hair into a bun, then straighten the bottom layer with a flat iron and a low-heat setting. Let down another layer of your hair, and repeat the process. Keep going until you reach the top of your head.  To get your hair straighter, place a fine toothed comb below the flat iron as you run the flat iron through the length of your hair. You may have to work in smaller sections if your hair is very thick. Apply a hair oil or serum to smooth any stray strands and add shine. Apply a high-shine gel to your hair, from roots to ends. Comb your hair back with a fine-toothed comb, so that it flows away from your front hairline and the part disappears. Apply more gel to the top of your head as needed to finish the wet look.

Corn is a tall plant, often growing to 5 to 10 feet (1.5 to 3.0 m). The thin, wavy leaves sit opposite each other on the stem and they alternate sides by a quarter turn going up the plant. When the corn is about halfway to maturity, you'll see a dollop of silky, pale hair growing on top of each cob. You won't see the grain of the corn until you husk it. Rather, you'll just see long ears covered by green husks and topped with yellow silk. These plants reach about 2 feet (0.61 m) at maturity, though they look like round, small bushes early in the growing process. Soybeans, cotton, and peanuts can appear similar from a distance. However, soybeans tend to be a deeper green; the undersides of the leaves are a silvery green.  In late summer, you may see small white or purple flowers on the plants. Typically, these plants grow from May to October.  These plants are left to mature in the field. The leaves will brown and fall off before the pods are ready to be harvested in October. This plant typically gets to be about 3 feet (0.91 m) tall. It is a slender plant with thin, narrow leaves. At the top of the leaves, you'll see a spiked head, which is where the grain grows.  Often, this plant is grown over the winter, starting in the fall and ending in mid-summer. However, you'll also see summer wheats that are planted in spring and harvested in the fall.  The leaves of this plant are thinner than barley, which has a similar look. This plant starts out green and grows a white spiked head. However, it turns brown by the time it is harvested. Cotton grows in a similar way to soybeans. However, as it grows, it will start to produce flowers from the main stem. These flowers will produce the white round "bolls," which are harvested for the fiber.  This plant starts out small and bushy with tri-point leaves. It's a lighter green than soybeans. When it is ready to be harvested, the plant will be completely brown and covered in the white bolls. It tends to get about 2 feet (0.61 m) tall. This plant reaches a height of about 3...

TL;DR in English: Watch for a thick central stem, tassels, and wavy leaves to identify corn. Pay attention to a low, deep green plant to identify soybeans. Notice a grassy plant to pick out wheat. Look for white, pink, and/or red flowers to identify cotton. Check for a flooded field and tall, grassy stalks to pick out rice.

Yelling, shouting, and raising your voice at your girlfriend will only lead to a dramatic fight. It will likely make the situation worse and make your girlfriend more angry or upset.  When you feel the urge to yell or shout, try taking a deep breath so you can calm down. Remember that lashing out at your girlfriend will not help to resolve the argument or make the situation better. Avoid name calling and criticizing, too. Use an even tone of voice and try to approach the conflict or argument in a rational way. Encourage your girlfriend to share her point of view and express why she is upset. Be open to her honesty and her perspective. For example, you may say to her, “I’m struggling to understand your perspective. Please explain it to me” or “I’m not sure what I did wrong. Can you explain it to me?” It is important that you not be afraid to express how you are feeling to your girlfriend, especially during an argument. Try not to shut down or close off from her. Instead, be honest about your emotions.  For example, you may say, “To be honest, I’ve been feeling pretty down this past week and that’s why I haven’t been as attentive to your needs.” Or you may say, “Honestly, I’ve been feeling overwhelmed at school so that might be why I haven’t been as emotionally present for you.” Men sometimes have difficulty naming their emotions. Let her know if you are feeling something that you can't quite name or express and try to explain what you're feeling as best as possible. If you have done something to hurt your girlfriend or make her upset, swallow your pride and apologize for your actions. Admitting when you are wrong does not mean you are being weak or less of a man. In fact, being willing to admit your mistakes shows that you are able to be self-reflective and self-aware. It also lets your girlfriend know you are willing to take accountability for your actions. For example, you may say to your girlfriend, “After our discussion, I realize I was wrong to have not called you. I’m sorry I did that to you.” Or you may...

During menstruation, sometimes the endometrial lining sheds from the uterus but does not exit the body. It can go into the fallopian tubes (attached to the uterus) and attach itself to pelvic surfaces instead of leaving the body through the vagina. In general, every woman undergoes some degree of retrograde menstruation but does not develop endometriosis because their bodies clear the residual endometrial tissue before it forms deposits. Growth of the faultily implanted endometrial tissue is dependent on the female hormone estrogen as its natural function is to stimulate cell growth. Thus along with the normal menstrual cycle, the displaced tissue also undergoes growth and shedding each month. Bits of the endometrium may get dislodged and become embedded in an area outside of the womb during a gynecological operation accidentally. This refers to a condition where cells that have similar properties to endometrial cells are deposited in the female reproductive tract during pregnancy when fetal organs are being formed. The primitive endometrial cells later get dislodged from the uterus and act like stem cells. This theory is supported by fetal autopsy. Other factors that can cause endometriosis include immune system disorders, genetic predisposition and environmental toxins. The main symptom is persistent pelvic pain. Patient also complains of painful menses (dysmenorrhea), painful urination (dysuria), painful sex (dyspareunia) and severe pain in the legs.  The pain is because of the reaction of endometrial tissues to the hormonal activity. These lesions also bleed during the normal menstrual cycle due to which the blood collects in the surrounding areas leading to swelling and inflammation finally leading to pain. Pain can also occur due to adhesions that bind the internal organs together, thereby leading to their dislocation. So we see that many a times the fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus, bowels and bladder are bounded leading to pain in day to day life too apart from the menstrual cycle. Patients may also...

TL;DR in English: Know that endometriosis may  be caused by retrograde menstruation. Understand that endometriosis may be caused by hormonal changes. Be aware that endometriosis may be caused by an error during surgery. Know that a condition called Müllerianosis can cause endometriosis. Understand that there are a variety of other possible caused. Recognize the possible signs and symptoms of endometriosis.

If you're up on stage because you've won some kind of award, or otherwise have the attention of a room full of people, you'll want to make sure you thank the necessary parties involved in your success. But also try to remember that you've got a rapt audience who doesn't necessarily want to hear you read an alphabetical list of names they don't recognize. Keep it brief and be humble. In a thank-you speech, there might be many people who played integral roles in your success who are there, and some who aren't. If you're pressed for time, make sure you thank the people who are sitting there. Thanking them will feel more significant and emotional. If you want to tell a story somehow related to the success you're being recognized for, it can be a great idea. Don't come up with a long-winded story to tell for everybody you're thanking, though. Pick one judiciously and consider telling one that involves more than one person present, so it will be a meaningful and efficient use of your stage time. It can be tempting to want to liven things up with attempts at crude humor or by poking fun at other people present. If you're a talented comedian, it might be possible, but it's a much safer bet to use your stage time to be sincere and brief. Your humble thanks will be more entertaining than ironic jokes. Michael Jordan's Hall of Fame induction speech was widely criticized for being tone deaf and spiteful, talking down to many former opponents and somewhat tarnishing his great legacy. Don't fall in the same trap.

TL;DR in English: Keep it to no more than a minute or two at most. Prioritize thanking people who are present. Use a short anecdote to thank an important party. Let sincerity trump humor.

If you meet the qualifications described above, you may apply to join the OES. The easiest way to do this may be to talk to a friend or relative who is already a member. This person will most likely be familiar with your local chapter's entry requirements and can give you the advice necessary to make an informed decision about applying for membership. Additionally, this person can serve as an important character reference. Because members of Masonic organizations (including OES) are required to have good reputations, the word of someone who's already a member can go quite far towards improving your chances of entry. You don't necessarily have to know an OES member to apply. To start the process yourself, simply contact a chapter near you. The precise entry instructions and requirements for each chapter may vary, so contacting the nearest chapter directly is a good way to ensure that you have exactly the information you need to join.  If you're unsure which OES chapter is nearest to you, consult the official listing of Grand Chapters on the Order of the Eastern Star website. This contains links to all of the large regional OES chapters around the world, which includes several chapters outside of the US and Canada. Each of the regional chapter pages in the official OES Grand Chapter listing should contain information on subordinate local chapters near you. If you can't find this, try getting started by contacting your regional Grand Chapter directly. Like the Freemasons themselves, the Order of the Eastern Star requires applicants to complete and submit an official petition to be considered for membership. Usually, the petition is a short official form (obtained directly from the chapter) that demonstrates your eligibility and desire to become a member. Each chapter's precise petition procedure may vary, but, in general, an applicant should expect to provide at least all of the following:  Basic personal information (name, contact info, etc.) An acknowledgement of belief in a supreme being An acknowledgement...

Chop most of your food with a good chef's knife. Use a grater to finely shred firm vegetables. Puree food by cooking it until it's soft, then mashing it. Crush foods by using a rolling pin and plastic bag. Knead bread dough

The first step in cutting your hair at home is to invest in the right tools. You will need a sharp pair of hair cutting scissors (not just any old scissors you have lying around at home) and a fine-toothed comb.  Hair cutting scissors are easily available at beauty supply stores - you can find them pretty cheaply, somewhere in the $25 to $50 range. If you don't want to buy a hair cutting scissors, a fabric scissors will do - just make sure it's really sharp. Using dull scissors is a bad idea as you will find it harder to cut your hair and may end up giving yourself split ends - which defeats the purpose of giving yourself a haircut in the first place! Wet hair is much easier to cut than dry hair, so make sure to shampoo and condition your hair before you start snipping.  Fully comb out your hair once you get out of the shower - your hair needs be as sleek and tangle free as possible.Use a leave-in conditioner if your hair tends to be frizzy or fly-away. If your hair is quite long or thick, there's a good chance that sections of your hair might start to dry before you get around to cutting them. To tackle this, fill a spray bottle with water and a little conditioner. Then you can dampen your hair whenever you need to! Depending on how thick your hair is, expect to work in several sections as you cut, starting with the bottom-most layer and working up.  Use elastic hair ties or crocodile clips to divide hair into sections. Just make sure the sectioned hair isn't left to hang loose - otherwise it could get in the way of your scissors. Once you've finished with the bottom layer of hair, you can start releasing the other sections as you go. If you just want to give your hair a small trim to get rid of your damaged ends, you will first need to inspect your hair to find out how much hair will need to be cut.  Take a look at the ends of your hair. If they seem scraggly or unruly, or you can see the split hairs, they're probably damaged and need to be cut. Expect to trim about 0.25 inch (6 mm) above where the damage...

TL;DR in English: Buy a sharp pair of scissors. Wash your hair, but don't dry it. Clip up the top portions of your hair. Find split ends. Measure where you wish to cut. Trim the ends. Make sure your ends match up. Trim your layers (optional). Double-check your hair when it's dry.

Use a wire whisk or mixer to vigorously whisk your cream. Stop just as the cream begins to form a thick texture. You want your cream to be thickened, but still pourable. Add half of the chocolate syrup to the mildly thickened cream. Then, use a spoon to stir the cream and chocolate together until everything is combined. Once your whipped cream and chocolate syrup is mixed together, transfer the mixture to a mug. Add the coffee, whiskey, and the rest of the chocolate syrup. Use a spoon to slowly mix the ingredients together until everything is mixed evenly.  For best results, use hot, freshly brewed coffee.

TL;DR in English: Whisk your cream. Add half your syrup. Add the remaining syrup, whiskey, and coffee.

You can take steps to prevent fatigue by making some changes to your work area. Using a chair that properly fits and supports your body will greatly reduce muscle fatigue and pain caused by computer use. Your chair should have:  Armrests that support the weight of your arms. They should be adjustable so that when your forearms are at rest, your elbows are aligned with your waist. A seat that’s at least an inch wider than your thighs and hips. The seat bottom should also slope downward slightly. An adjustable base, so that you can place your feet flat on the floor as you work. Wheels, preferably 5 wheels attached to a 5-point base for maximum support. A backrest that supports your lumbar (lower back). If your chair doesn’t have lumbar support, try rolling a towel and placing it behind you at your waist. If you do most of your computer work on a laptop, you’ve probably noticed that laptops are not designed for prolonged use. Extended laptop use will cause neck, hand, and wrist fatigue much faster than a standard setup. You can connect a monitor and input devices to your laptop, or use a docking station. Your workspace should be laid out so that you can use your computer without wasting energy.  Position the keyboard right in front of you (rather than at an angle) so that your wrists are straight while you type. Sit close to the desk so your arms rest on the chair’s armrests as you type. Position your monitor at eye level, at least 18 inches from your face. Not only does glare make it difficult to see what’s on the screen, but it’s also a leading cause of eye fatigue. If there’s a glare on your screen, tilt it slightly until it’s glare-free (glare is a cause of eye fatigue). If glare is still an issue:  Switch from overhead lighting to lamps. If glare is coming from the window, use a curtain or blinds to minimize the light. Move your workspace to a location with less glare, if possible. Buy a glare-reduction screen or glare-proof monitor. Research shows that this is the optimal temperature for productivity....

TL;DR in English: Use the right chair. Use a monitor, mouse, and keyboard with your laptop. Set up your desktop for comfort and efficiency. Get rid of screen glare. Keep the room temperature at about 71 degrees (F).

Ask anyone who knows you well or anyone who you think might be good at naming things. This could be a friend, a relative, or a parent. If you don't like their answers, don't worry about it and try to think of one on your own. Consider using a username generator, if you don't know anyone who can help you. Run a web search for "username generator", and you may be able to create something suitable. The domain of an email address is the "@example.com" part.  Any standard email client should be fine, although some domains (like AOL or Hotmail) might come across as a bit dated. Some sites will allow you to choose a custom domain; if you take this route, avoid choosing a long domain, as people might not want to type out a long address. Domains like "@gmail.com" or "@yahoo.com" are short, popular, and easy to remember. . When you're ready, visit an email client, click whichever variation of "create an account" you find, and proceed to create your very own cool email address. Type the email address you decided on into the proper "username" or "login name" field.

TL;DR in English: Ask somebody for help. Choose a domain host. Sign up for an email account

Most of the time, when a recipe calls for a food processor, it's because the food needs to be chopped or minced finely. While it may take a little longer, you can do the same work with a sharp chef's knife. Just place the food on a cutting board and carefully cut it into small pieces. The size of the pieces will depend on what you're chopping and what the recipe calls for.   Garlic, onions, and celery can all be finely minced by hand, for instance. Of course, always remember to be careful when you're cutting anything with a knife. Hold the knife firmly in your dominant hand. With your other hand, curl your fingers in so they look like a bear claw, then use that claw to hold the food you're cutting. This way, even if the knife slips, it will just brush against the back of your knuckles. Instead of using a food processor to shred hard veggies like carrots or potatoes, you can instead run the food across a box grater or a microplaner. Press down slightly as you slide the food back and forth over the holes in the grater. If you're using a microplaner, always use the handle on the tool so you don't accidentally cut yourself.  Graters are perfect when you're making a slaw, salad, or hash. This is also a good option if you need grated ginger for a sauce, stir-fry, or drink. Be sure to keep your fingers free of the grater, or you could get a nasty scrape! One of the most popular uses for a food processor is to puree food, but you can do it by hand if you need to. To start, simmer, boil, or stew the food until it's soft and almost falling apart. Then, mash the food with a fork or a potato masher until it takes on a smooth, even consistency.  For an even finer texture, pour the puree through a sieve and push it through with the back of a spoon. This is perfect for creating fruit toppings for ice cream or your own homemade tomato sauce! If you need to quickly break down food into small pieces, place the ingredient in a resealable plastic bag and place it on a sturdy cutting board. Then, roll back and forth over the bag...
