Check how much RAM your computer currently has installed. Check how much RAM your computer and operating system can support. Check what RAM format your motherboard supports. Determine the clock speed. Purchase RAM modules in pairs. Understand the difference between desktop and laptop memory.

Chances are that you have played it and the quality is questionable enough for you to be reading this article to make sure. Some additional questions to ask are:  Can you see through the DVD? If you can see through it very well, it is most likely not authentic, though this is not always the case.     Is it colorful (blue, gold, purple, etc.; instead of silver)? If it is any of the colors listed above, it is most likely not a mass-produced DVD.     Hold the DVD up to the light and tilt it to one side. You may be able to see a well-known manufacturer’s name, such as Maxell. If the disc has such a name, then the DVD was a burnable disc, and the disc’s contents are counterfeit.     Check the cover. Real movies have high-quality manufacturer photos, and often fake ones have blurry, lack of color, and less detail type covers. This will tell you that the cover probably was taken with a camera. If the movie is without security labels, the movie may be a counterfeit. In Windows, click on My Computer, then click your player’s drive. It will give you the size of the disc. There should be close to 5 GB used on a single layer or more on a double layer (but this varies depending on running time). Then go through Windows Explorer and right click on various files stored on the DVD to check properties. Look for the creation date. If the DVD is out of print, for example, and the date is recent, something is not right. However, this will probably not work with Disney imported DVD’s with copy protection and results may be misleading.

TL;DR in English: Examine the actual DVD if you have already bought it. Put the DVD into your DVD drive. If the spine of the DVD is very thin, and the case is opaque, it is probably fake.

After buying basic precious metals, gold or silver futures, funds like ETFs and ETNs, mining stock or any other metals-based asset, tracking these investments is important.   Track with software tools that analyze changes in the value of your investments. Periodically check on your long-term holdings within your online brokerage account or with the help of your broker. As your holdings grow, you may want to consider hiring a financial manager to oversee your investments and make adjustments in response to market conditions. There are several ways to profit when your investments increase in value.  Long-term strategies can include holding on to your gold, silver or other metals for a very long time. This is often done in hopes that prices will spiral up into the stratosphere, creating vast wealth. Short-term strategies include options for those who want to benefit regularly from increases in equity values. This would involve shorter periods in which holdings that have appreciated are sold (perhaps on a yearly basis), producing more consistent and modest earnings. Based on your newly acquired experience at investing in precious metals, use a portion of your gains to reinvest in rising metals.  Drawing on past observations of market behavior and investment performance should guide you in deciding where to invest in the future.

TL;DR in English: Track your investments. Decide on a profit-taking method. Reinvest in new opportunities.

You will want to fill the container half way for a total of 1/2 gallon of warm water.  Don’t worry about making the water very hot.  It should still be cool enough to handle. Using whatever liquid dish soap you have handy, squeeze six drops of dish soap into the gallon jug.  Gently roll your wrist to mix the soap into the water without making it foam. Measure out 2 ounces of rubbing alcohol.  You can use an alcohol jigger for an accurate measurement.  Add these two ounces of rubbing alcohol to the gallon jug. Rubbing alcohol, or isopropyl alcohol, can be hazardous.  Take precautions when handling it.  Avoid contact with skin by wearing gloves.  Don't touch your face after handling rubbing alcohol.  Wash your hands with a lot of soap and water. While the water is still warm, pour it generously over the ice which you would like to remove.  The solution will break down the ice and make it easier to shovel. You will want to remove the ice safely and efficiently.  This means getting the ice and snow out of the path for walking and driving without hurting yourself in the process.  Use a lightweight snow shovel which is not too heavy for you. Decide where you will pile the snow and ice before you start so that you don’t end up blocking a walking or driving path and needing to start over in that area. Ideally, just push the snow and ice out of the way without lifting it. If you do lift, keep your knees bent and back straight.  Remember to do the lifting with your legs and only lift as high as necessary to move the ice to your pile.  If you are turning, turn your whole body instead of twisting at the waist.

TL;DR in English: Fill a gallon jug with warm water. Add dish soap. Finish the mixture with rubbing alcohol. Pour the mixture onto the ice. Shovel the ice.

Before determining how much RAM you should purchase, it will be helpful to know how much RAM you already have installed in your computer. You can quickly check your installed RAM, regardless of what operating system you are using.  Windows - Press ⊞ Win+Pause to open your System Properties window. Your installed RAM will be listed in the System section. Mac - Click the Apple menu and select "About This Mac". Your installed RAM will be displayed in the Memory entry. There are several factors that will dictate how much RAM your system can support, including your operating system and motherboard limits:  If you are using Windows, a 32-bit version can support up to 4 GB, while a 64-bit version can support up to 128 GB. You can check what version of Windows you have by pressing ⊞ Win+Pause and looking for the "System type" entry. Even if your computer supports up to 128 GB, there's a good chance that your motherboard doesn't support that much. You'll need to check the documentation for your motherboard or run an online system scanner (Crucial.com has a good one) to see how much memory your motherboard supports. Mac users will need to check their documentation to see how much their computer support as it varies significantly from model to model. If you don't have the documentation anymore, you can look up the specs of your model on the Apple support site. See this guide for more details on determining the maximum amount of RAM your computer supports. RAM has gone through several revisions over the years. The standard these days is DDR4 RAM, but if you are upgrading an older computer, you may need DDR3, DDR2 or even DDR. If this is the case, you will likely want to consider upgrading the entire computer, as older types of RAM are getting increasingly expensive. You can determine what type your computer uses by referring to the documentation or running a tool like CPU-Z, a freeware utility that analyzes your system. RAM comes in a variety of different speeds. If there are multiple speeds installed, your entire system...

Join extracurricular activities. Get to know the people in your classes. Get involved in your community. Maintain a variety of interests. Put yourself out there.

In order to become a furry, you don’t have to pass an entry test or get permission from anyone else. The decision to become a furry is completely up to you! Whether you’ve been interested in furry-related things for a while or you’re totally new to the community, feel free to proclaim yourself a furry whenever and however you’d like.  If you want to create your own furry-related characters, meet other like minded people, and/or visit furry conventions, you’ll probably love being a part of the furry community! But it’s also totally okay to be a part of the community without calling yourself a furry. If you don't have a strong interest in anthropomorphic animals but you still want to join the community, the people within it will likely welcome you with open arms. People aren’t automatically furries if they happen to like anthropomorphic animals; they get to choose for themselves. Since the furry fandom is a global one, most furry activity happens on the internet. Try the mobile app Furry Amino or websites like SoFurry and Fur Affinity. Create an account and start commenting, posting, and connecting with other users. Or, hop into the furry community on Reddit – r/furry is a very active subreddit and it’s easy to get involved in discussions there. You can easily find other furries via Tumblr and deviantART, too.  Look for furry Discord servers, Skype groups, and Telegram groups for instant messaging. Search through furry pages and tags on regular social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube. You’ll quickly find your community there! Explore your furry fanship or fursona through any hobby or creative project you’d like. Try writing fanfiction, creating music, making video animations, vlogging, illustrating fan art, or performing in your furry persona. Then share your creations on sites like Tumblr, deviantART, FurAffinity, and YouTube.   There's a place for every interest in the furry fandom – artists, musicians, authors, dancers, comedians, actors, and many others celebrate their love of...

TL;DR in English: Make the choice to become part of the furry community. Participate in online furry groups and discussion boards. Make and share furry fan art and other creative work. Take on requests, trades, or commissions to share your creative work. Attend a furry convention to meet other furries in person. Get involved in a local furry group. Socialize with other furries to form new friendships. Be welcoming and non-judgmental around other furries. Forget your negative misconceptions about furries.

Your glove becomes an extension of your hand when catching a baseball. It must fit your hand properly to work efficiently. As a general rule of thumb, players under the age of 12 will use a glove in the 10–11 inch (25.4–27.9 cm) range.  Older players will use something between 11 and 13 inch glove. Before playing regularly with your glove, it’s important to beak in your glove. One of the best ways to break in your glove is by practicing your catch. Catching a baseball relies heavily on your stance and body position. You should be in the athletic position to prepare catching a ball. The athletic position takes the following into effect:  Bend your knees slightly. This will give you the flexibility to lung for the ball and keep your mind focused. Keep your shoulders positioned towards the target. This will make it easier to visualize and react once the ball comes towards you. Stand on the balls of your feet instead of standing flat-footed. The key to catching a baseball is to never let the ball out of your sight. Keep your eyes fixed from the time the ball leaves the thrower's hand until it lands in your glove. By watching the ball, you can track the ball’s flight plan, and prepare for the right stance to catch the ball. ”You can’t catch what you can’t see,” meaning it'll be difficult to catch the ball if your eye is off the ball. Don’t feel inclined to stay anchored in one place, but instead move to catch the ball. If the ball is thrown and you can tell it will land behind you, run backwards while watching the ball. In baseball, catchers play by zone defense. When the ball enters your zone, it’s your job to move to it. Hold your glove with your palm facing outwards in front of your body. Position the glove in the direction of the target who is throwing the ball. If the ball is thrown above your belly button, you can use this stance to catch the ball with little adjustment.  If the throw is below your belly button, rotate your glove so that your fingers are pointed down. When the ball is thrown above your body,...

TL;DR in English: Get the right glove. Position your body. Watch the ball. Go to the ball. Position your glove. Catch the baseball. Keep your vision clear.

The roses will scent it but it must be a good tea to begin with, so that you enjoy the blend. You could also choose oolong tea, a blend of black and green, with their lovely, rich and fruity flavours. Stir gently to combine. If wished, small dried rosebuds can be included for appearance. Ensure that these are organic too. Label and date so that you remember when it was made and when it should be used by. Most of the flavour will come out with the hot water when the tea is made though, so there's no need to wait too long. The tea will be gently scented with the added rose petals.

TL;DR in English: Select a quality black tea of your liking. Place the tea leaves and rose petals into a large mixing bowl. Transfer the mixture to suitable airtight containers. Leave for a few days for the rose petals to begin imparting a little flavour. Make the rose tea as for the instructions accompanying the black tea used as the base.

The best way to do this is to apply direct pressure to the wound and, if possible, to raise it above the level of the heart (if bleeding is severe). This will diminish blood flow to the area, and give time for a clot to form at the site of the wound. Start by washing the area thoroughly with cool, running water. Then use an antibacterial soap, if possible, such as Dial or Soft-soap (if you do not have either of these, regular soap will do) to clean the wound. If there is still debris in the wound, you may want to use a pair of clean, sterilized tweezers to remove it. If the bleeding won't stop, or if is a deeper wound or has "foreign objects" in it (materials that cannot be removed easily), it is important to seek the advice of an experienced physician. Similarly, if the injured person has stepped or fallen on a sharp object (such as a nail) or been cut by a metal or rusty object, it is important to go to the Emergency Room to receive a tetanus shot (if necessary) and appropriate medical evaluation.

TL;DR in English: Stop the bleeding, if there is any. Clean the wound well. Know when to seek additional medical help.

Whether you're into basketball, cheerleading, French club, or band, joining a few extracurricular activities can help you become more popular simply because you'll get to know a wider variety of people. If you only get to know the people in your classes, you'll be missing out on a wide variety of amazing people from your school. You'll also find it easier to connect with people who share your interests, so you'll be more likely to make friends.  Remember that, to be popular, people have to actually know who you are — what better way is there to get your name out there than to get involved in extracurricular activities? Finding the right extracurricular activity for you can also help you find a new passion, explore new hobbies, and maybe even to get inspired to follow a new career path. Though it's important to be a good student, you should still be able to find time to relax and make a few friends in your classes. Whether you're chatting it up with your lab partner or the person who sits behind you in Algebra II, you should make an effort to get to know the people in your classes —without disrupting your learning, of course!  You may end up finding a new best friend after working on a school project or putting together a lab report with a new classmate. Don't think that you can only find friends after school hours. People in your classes may also be excited to meet new people, because people don't always end up in class with people they already know since class assignments are random. If you have a lunch period and don't have any friends during the same period, try sitting with a new group of people, that way, you can make new friends and get to know them better. Another way to be involved is to do something in your community. Whether you're volunteering at a soup kitchen or playing softball in a rec league, doing something that is community-based will help you get to know more people and to become experienced with talking to a wider variety of people. You may also meet some people from school who are doing...

Purchase a bag of Epsom salt. Open the bags and let the salt dry.

Traditional top hat material is no longer manufactured, but there are several modern day alternatives you can choose from. When looking for a material to use, gravitate toward fabrics that are fairly stiff and heavy. Light, floppy material will produce a floppy hat.  Craft felt is one of the most popular options you can use. It is easy to find, affordable, easy to work with, and comes in a range of colors. Polar fleece and tightly-woven wool are other possible options. Fosshape, buckram, and plastic canvas can be a little harder to find and a little more expensive, but they also tend to be a little stiffer and may produce a more pleasing result when all is said and done. If you cannot find these materials in the color you want, you can paint or dye them that color. You will need to cut out two round circles of equal proportions. The longest diameter of these circles should be about 15 inches (38 cm). The brim pieces will be stacked and sewn together to create a double layer. This is done so that the brim has more structure and support. If you only use one piece of material for the brim, it may lack the structure it needs to be convincing. The flue is the tall, chimney-like portion of the top hat that creates the signature look of the style. You will need to cut out two rectangular flue pieces of equal proportions. The length should be 6 1/2 inches (16.5 cm) and the width should be 24 inches (61 cm).  Like the brim, the “flue” will also consist of a double layer of fabric for the purpose of providing adequate support. Without this double layer, the top hat is likely to sink or fold over on itself once you place it on your head. If you would like to create a more playful version of the top hat, you can also cut out separate bands in alternating colors to form the flue. Stitch the bands together lengthwise so that they form a single flue piece with a height of 6 1/2 inches (16.5 cm). You only need to cut out one piece of material for the top of the hat. Cut a circle that is 8 inches (20.3 cm) in diameter. Unlike...

TL;DR in English: Choose your material. Cut the brim pieces. Cut the "flue" pieces. Cut the top piece.

Don’t worry, the procedure is generally the same whether your dryer is electric or gas, but both need to be shut off before cleaning. Consult the user manual for your appliance if you have any concerns. The lint vent is located on the back of most dryers, either near the top or the bottom of the appliance. You are looking for either flexible aluminum tubing or piping. This is so that you can access the vent. Be sure to work carefully around the tubing as you do so. To do this, use a screwdriver to loosen the metal clamp that holds it in place. Set the vent aside on the floor for now. Do this gently, taking care not to tear a hole in it. Set the tubing carefully aside for now. Use a vent brush, turning the brush clockwise for the best effect. You can also turn it counter-clockwise, just make sure to stick with one direction or the other, not a combination. Pick it up gently and hold it up in front of you. Brush into the tubes with your vent brush. At this point you and your floor are most likely covered in lint! Use the long neck attachment to remove any remaining lint. Vacuum carefully so that nothing gets damaged. Use the long neck attachment, taking care to get all of the lint up. Work it into the nooks and crannies. Don’t forget to tighten the screws on the clamp to fix it in place. Secure the tubing carefully. Be sure to continue working carefully around the tubing. It can be easily damaged, but should be absolutely fine as long as you are careful. When working with the power sources, be sure to work carefully around the tubing behind the appliance. This will flush out any remaining lint. Shut it off after the flush. Your dryer is now ready for use!

TL;DR in English: Shut off the gas (if applicable) and unplug the dryer. Locate the lint vent. Pull the dryer gently away from the wall. Remove the vent from the wall. Pull the tubing away. Clean the wall piping and vent. Clean the removed tubing. Vacuum inside the tubing and vent. Vacuum the floor. Put the dryer vent back into place. Replace the dryer back against the wall. Plug the dryer back in and, if applicable, turn the gas back on. Turn on your dryer for about 10-15 seconds.

A cleanable air filter is advertised as “washable,” “permanent,” and/or “reusable.” Don’t wash paper or otherwise disposable air filters. Avoid vacuuming them as well.  Washing disposable air filters can actually clog them, as well as cause mold. Disposable filters can tear under the pressure of vacuuming or compressed air. At a low pressure, this may work temporarily, but it’s not a long-term solution. Clean or change your filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, or more often if you travel on dusty roads or in polluted areas. Examine your air filter under a bright light. Clean or change the filter if it’s darkened or clogged with debris.  Disposable filters should be replaced, whereas permanent filters can be vacuumed or washed. If you don’t change your air filter as needed, you may notice a decrease in your gas mileage, ignition problems, or fouled spark plugs. Clean or change your filter every three months, and more frequently in-season. Clean or change the furnace filter monthly during the heating season. Clean or replace your central air filter every month or two in the cooling season.  If your filter is disposable, replace it. If it’s reusable, you can vacuum or wash it. More frequent changing is needed if your filter is exposed to a lot of dust or pet hair. Failing to clean your air filters in the home can cause HVAC failure or even fire.

TL;DR in English: Replace disposable air filters. Clean or replace your car air filter regularly. Clean or replace your home air filter routinely.

The clothes you wear can really have an effect on your self-esteem. For example, wearing a superhero costume can boost confidence and make people feel stronger; women perform better on a math test in a sweater than in a swimsuit; and a white coat gives people more “mental agility.”  Focus on wearing clothes that make you feel comfortable, such as a nice soft sweater, your favorite jeans, and a suit and tie (or something else professional looking). Examine your wardrobe and make sure your clothes fit your style. If they don’t, you may need to go shopping!  If you dislike shopping in public or don’t know what is in style, consider a service that selects clothes for you and sends them to your house or find an online retailer with an easy free return policy. Wear colors that you like.  Doing so will help boost your mood. If you can’t decide on a color you like, a good go-to color is blue because people general respond positively to it. Find outfits that will look good to you when you look in a mirror because they match your body type or include accessories that show off your good features. There is no perfect body type, but there are good and bad clothes for particular body types. Clothes that fit because they match your type are more likely to look good on you.  If you are very skinny, avoid wearing dark colors, such as black, which are slimming.  Wear lighter colors instead.  Slim women should try to create some curve by belting a flowing dress in the center. Thin men should avoid wearing large or baggy clothing to add the appearance of bulk; dressing in the appropriate size will look better.  If you have broad shoulders and narrow hips, avoid scarves with patterns (calling attention to your shoulders), shirts that accentuate your shoulders, and footwear that looks small for your body type, but do wear pants that make your hips look bigger and shoes with wider heels or boots with buckles that call attention to your feet. If your body is pear-shaped, wear bright colors or patterns on top and dark, solid colors...

TL;DR in English: Wear clothes that make you feel comfortable. Wear clothes that accentuate the physical features you like. Wear clothes in the appropriate size or have them tailored. Wear the right lipstick. Apply make-up based on your face shape. Get a good haircut. Stay well-groomed.

You can find this salt in pharmacies. It is often added to bathes to soothe aching muscles. Although it contains the word "salt," this product is not edible. Thanks to its pure-white color, however, the food coloring will show up much better compared to real sand.  Regular table salt will also work for this method. If you want to make edible colored sand, use white, granulated sugar instead. How long this takes depends on how dry or humid it is in your home. For most people, this will take overnight. You can speed up the drying process by spreading the salt out on a baking sheet or tray. Make sure that you use a separate sheet/tray for each color, however.

Choose paint, paper, or fabric to cover your notebook. Trace the size of your notebook onto your cover material. Cut out your cover to fit the size of your notebook. Apply a thin, even layer of adhesive to your cover. Align the corners of your notebook with the corner of your cover. Press your hands down on the cover to help it adhere to the notebook. Let your cover and notebook dry before you accessorize further.

If your area experiences a period of drought, water the soil lightly to help the tree survive. Add enough water to moisten the soil about 3 in (7.6 cm) deep.  You can test the soil by pushing your finger into it. If you can’t push down to the roots easily, the soil needs water. An irrigation system works well for greenhouse growing. Give the guanabana plenty of fertilizer every year to help it grow and produce fruit. You can add fertilizer a month after planting or around March. Apply a second dose in early September.  You can use a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer from your gardening center, which has equal parts phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium. Apply 1⁄4 lb (0.11 kg) of fertilizer in the first year, 1⁄2 lb (0.23 kg) in the second year, and 1 1⁄2 lb (0.68 kg) every year after that. Check the mulch layer before you add new fertilizer. Add a new layer of an organic material, such as compost or pine bark, in early spring. Then, you can finish tending to the tree by putting the fertilizer on top of the mulch. Replace the mulch every year to block out weeds and keep the surrounding soil moist. Wait for the guanabana’s trunk to become at least 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) thick. Using pruning shears, cut the branches down until the tree is about 30 in (76 cm) tall. Then, wait for new shoots to grow. Regular pruning helps your tree grow evenly so more water and sunlight reach the roots.  New shoots will grow on your tree. Select the tallest shoot to be the central leader, then select 3 or 4 shoots spaced around it to be main branches. Wear a thick pair of gardening gloves and safety goggles to protect your eyes. Trim the central leader to about ⅓ of its original size. New shoots will begin forming around the cut. Choose the tallest shoot again, then pin the other shoots down so they are horizontal.  You can pin down the secondary shoots with clothespins or twine. Also remove any diseased or decaying branches on your tree. Although guanabana trees do not attract a lot of pests, some bugs can be an issue. Mealybugs are common,...

TL;DR in English: Water the tree when the soil dries during a drought. Fertilize the tree in spring and fall. Renew the layer of mulch every year. Prune the tree down in the first year. Reduce the tree’s size in the second year to encourage growth. Use an insecticide to treat infestations.

People often take one to three days off of work or school, depending upon the severity of their infection. This can be followed by about one full "restful week," often going to work, but postponing social commitments, chores, and other events until you are feeling better. Speak as softly and as little as possible as you are recovering. You can create a soothing mixture to help relieve tonsillitis pain. Combine 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey, 1 teaspoon (2.6 g) of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of apple cider vinegar mixed in hot water and drink as needed. Water also helps to prevent dryness and additional irritation of the tonsils.  Hot teas, warm broth, and other warm liquids can be soothing on the throat. In addition to hot drinks, cold ice pops can also soothe throat discomfort. Mix 1 teaspoon (5.6 g) of salt into an 8 ounce (236 mL) glass of warm water. Gargle the salty water, spit it out, and repeat as necessary to relieve the sore throat caused by tonsillitis. It is important to minimize any irritants that can worsen tonsillitis, such as dry air, cleaning products, or cigarette smoke. Also, try using a cool-air humidifier that adds moisture to the room. Many lozenges contain topical anesthetic within them, which can help to diminish pain in your tonsillar area and throat. " Always consult your doctor prior to trying any of the following alternative remedies, to ensure they are safe for you in consideration of any other medical conditions you may have. There are not recommended for children and adolescents. Options to consider include:  Papain. This is an anti-inflammatory enzyme that may help to reduce inflammation of the tonsils. Serrapeptase. This is another anti-inflammatory enzyme that may help in tonsillitis. Slippery elm in lozenge form. This has been shown to aid in pain relief. Andrographis. This is aimed at treating symptoms of fever and sore throat.

TL;DR in English: Get lots of rest at home. Drink liquids and eat soft foods to soothe pain and discomfort. Gargle with warm water and salt. Remove any environmental irritants. Try lozenges. Consider "alternative remedies.

Use the formal second-person pronoun usted (or ustedes, if your letter is addressed to more than one person) when writing to someone older than you, or who is in charge of something. If you're making a request or seeking confirmation of something, you would almost always use formal language. For example, if you're writing a letter to confirm your hotel reservations, write formally. If you're writing to someone younger than you, or to a close friend or family member, you'll typically use informal speech. Address them with the second-person pronoun tú.  If your letter is addressed to more than one person, use the second-person plural pronoun ustedes – unless you're writing to someone in Spain. Spaniards use an informal second-person plural pronoun, vosotros.  You may want to maintain a formal tone if the recipient is significantly older than you, even if you know them well. For example, if you were writing a letter to your grandmother, you would probably use usted rather than tú in your letter, even if you were very close to her. She is older, and the formal pronoun indicates respect. A more formal tone is appropriate for business letters, even if you're writing to a friendly colleague. If the letter has a business purpose, it may be shared with others you don't know, or kept in business records. Keep personal inquiries or information out of a business letter. For example, if you're writing to a co-worker you're friends with about a work-related matter, you wouldn't ask them about their plans for their upcoming birthday. If you're writing a personal letter, you may use more casual and affectionate language – even if you're using formal pronouns. However, if the person you're writing to is a stranger, you would typically refrain from being causal or affectionate. While the specific words are different, the same concept applies in English. You wouldn't write a letter to a company asking for a job and sign it "with love." Likewise, when ending a letter in Spanish, choose a closing that falls in line with the...

TL;DR in English: Write more formally if the recipient is in a position of authority. Take an informal tone if you know the recipient well. Keep business letters courteous and professional. Adjust your tone to reflect your familiarity with the recipient. Use a more formal tone whenever you have doubts.

There are endless options to create a funky and fun notebook cover. Choose your materials before you get started so you have a plan of attack. Select something to express yourself with!  You can use cardboard, construction paper, or old maps. You can find images on the Internet. Print out 1 image to cover the entire notebook, or use your computer to make a collage of photos. You can select fabric like canvas, denim, or old T-shirts. You could also paint a separate sheet on paper and glue it onto the cover. You can use duct tape and stick it onto the cover. Place your notebook on top of your material, whether it is another piece of paper or a piece of fabric. Mark the edges of your notebook onto your cover with a pencil or pen. This can be a rough size estimate, so you know where to make your cuts. You can cut out a cover for the front and a cover for the back separately, or cut out a size that would fit both the front and back cover in one piece. Be sure to lay your book open flat if you are covering both sides. Use a pair of scissors to cut out your cover, based on the lines you traced. Place your cover on top of your notebook to make sure the size is correct.  If the cover is too big, trim it down so it fits the size of your notebook. If it is too small, you can cut out another cover or improvise with other accessories, like ribbon or stickers. If you are using fabric, use fabric scissors for sharp, straight lines. You can use an adhesive like a glue stick, liquid glue, a hot glue gun, or Mod Podge. Put a thin, even layer of glue onto the back of the cover material. Make sure you coat the edges of your cover so the paper won't lift up later. Avoid applying too much glue on your cover. It will take a long time to dry and create a mess. Try to use thin, even layers. Start at the top of your notebook and line up the edge of your cover with the notebook's top edge. Then, line up the bottom corners as well.

Remove the patient from the area of exposure. Take off any clothing or jewelry around the burn. Wash the burn thoroughly. Apply a clean, sterile dressing. Administer an over-the-counter pain reliever. Get a tetanus shot.

Place your crabs in the freezer for several hours. The cold air will numb the crabs and cause them to move around much slower. This makes it easier to handle the crabs when killing them and may even dull their pain. Remember that once they're desensitized to pain, you should kill them immediately so they don't recover and feel pain again. If your crabs are larger, they'll take longer to freeze. You'll know your crab has frozen long enough when it's easy to handle or manipulate. The crabs shouldn't be moving their limbs at all or react when you touch near their mouthparts. Try tapping a crab's shell. If the crab's eyes don't react, then the crab is desensitized. You can quickly pierce the two nerve centers on a crab to immediately and painlessly kill the crab. Place your immobile crab on a non-slip mat so that it's on its back. Lift up the tail flap. You should see a hole that looks like a small dot. This is directly over a nerve center. Take a knife (or awl) and spike into this tiny hole at an angle of 85°. Do this again for the front nerve center.  The front nerve center is located in the shallow depression at the front of the crab. Insert this spike at an angle of 60°. The whole spiking process should take less than 10 seconds. You can then cook the crab according to any method you'd like. If you don't want to worry about cooking a very fresh crab or killing it yourself, buy frozen crab legs and claws. These are steamed before they're frozen so all you need to do is heat them back up. To thaw your frozen crab you can either:  Place the frozen crab in the fridge and let it thaw overnight Place the frozen crab in a container of cool water that's set in your sink or on the counter

TL;DR in English: Freeze your crabs. Check for signs of sensitivity. Spike the crab to kill it. Consider buying and thawing frozen crab.

You have the option of not giving a reason or excuse for saying no. Remember, it is your right to decline to do things, and you don't own anyone an explanation. You can simply respond, "no," but if you feel like adding more, you can still be respectful while keeping it simple.  You could say, “I'm sorry, that just won't work for me.” Another way to say no is simply, “No, I can't do that.” If someone asks if they can buy you a drink, feel free to just say, "No, thanks." If you say no immediately, it might seem like you didn't even consider the request. In order to be respectful, take a moment to think about your answer--even if you already know what it is going to be. Take a pause, and then kindly say no.  You could say, “Let me check my calendar. I believe I already have a commitment that weekend.” Try counting slowly to three before responding. This way, you'll seem to be considering the request. A respectful response is not one that sounds overly negative. When turning someone down, find a way to inject a positive attitude into your words. It also helps if you use a friendly tone of voice! For example, you could say, “Wow! A cookie exchange sounds like such a fun idea! I'm sorry that I won't be able to come. It sounds like I'll be missing a good time.” It's important not to sound rude. Don't say something like, “No, why would I want to do that?” Instead, be kind and gracious. Say things like, “That's so nice of you to think of me, but I'm really not interested in learning to snowshoe.” You can also say, “I'm afraid I can't dog sit for you. Your puppy is cute, but I don't think my cat would agree.” Make it clear that you genuinely appreciate being asked. If you have to turn someone down, express your thanks that they thought of you in the first place. You could say something like, “Thanks for considering me responsible enough to watch your kids. I'm sorry that I'm busy that evening.” You can also say, “I appreciate that you think I'd make a good team captain. However, I'm more comfortable not having a...

TL;DR in English: Keep your explanation simple. Think before you speak. Make a positive statement. Be gracious. Show gratitude. Give a clear answer. Offer encouragement.

If you’re trying self-hypnosis, you will need to know what affirmation your hypnosis script will include. In hypnosis, affirmations are the suggestions made to you while you are under. The point of an affirmation is that you making suggestions to yourself to change certain behaviours or ways of thinking. Some examples of affirmations suitable for self-hypnosis include:  I will not overreact when I get angry or frustrated. I will eat more healthily. I will be kinder to people. Once you have decided on the key affirmations you want to build your recording around, you need to think about the larger structure of the script. Generally, you should try to build a self-hypnosis recording around the four key sections of hypnosis. These are the Induction Script, the Deepening Script, the Subject Script, and the Awakening Script.  A complete hypnosis recording will move through these elements in the above order. The Subject Script is the part in which you will have your affirmations. This is the part of the hypnosis which helps relax you, and prepares for the deeper parts of hypnosis that follow. This script should be quite straightforward and uncomplicated. You can start by just saying something like “slowly close your eyes, and relax your scalp muscles.”  If you start the muscle relaxation at the scalp, you can progress on to the muscles at the back of your head, and then relax the muscles in your face. Continue to work your way right down your body, all the way to your toes.  Progressively relaxing muscles and breathing deeply will help you relax your body. The next step is the part of the hypnosis that will ease you into a deeper relaxation. In this section you should concentrate on progressively relaxing over time. You can use instructions that refer to time passing, such as “as each minute passes you feel more relaxed,” or “each breath brings you into a deeper state of relaxation.” You can also use visualisations to help your relaxation deepen.  One popular visualisation used in a deepening script is walking down...

TL;DR in English: Decide what your affirmation will be. Break your script into four parts. Create an Induction Script. Make a Deepening Script. Craft your Subject Script. Finish with an Awakening Script. Consider downloading a prepared script.

All the fruit should be ripe (or even overripe)--ripened fruit is sweeter, so you won't need to add any extra sugar. . Use a small, sharp knife to cut the core out of the strawberries.  Insert the tip of the knife into the top of the strawberry, right where it turns white. Cut out the white center of the strawberry. In doing so, you will remove the leaves as well. If you don't have fresh strawberries, it's ok to use frozen. The taste might not be as intense or fresh, but it will still be delicious! Clean the blender after use, since you will be using it again for the peaches and the kiwi. This should catch all the strawberry seeds so they don't end up in your frozen lolly. You can substitute another sweetener for simple syrup. Try honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup. Sample a little of the puree to make sure it's sweet enough. If not, add a little bit more sweetener, to taste. If you don't have an ice pop mold, you can substitute a paper or disposable plastic cup. Don't try to substitute a glass for the pop mold--as the juice freezes, it expands, and it may break the glass. This will ruin your pop and make a dangerous, sharp mess in your freezer. This should take 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Cover the mold with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. If the molds came with covers that double as a handle/popsicle stick, wait to use these. If the first layer of your ice lolly freezes around the stick, you won't be able to add the next two layers. If you don't have fresh peaches, you can use canned peaches that are already peeled, stoned, and sliced. Just drain the water from the can. Your blender won't have to work as hard to puree the fruit if it's cut into little slices. Using a paring knife, cut all the way through one side of the peach, until your knife hits the pit.  Run the knife all the way around the peach, keeping the blade against the pit, cutting the peach in half.  Hold the peach in your hands and twist each half in opposite directions until the come apart. The pit should still be stuck in one half of the peach. ...

TL;DR in English: Ask an adult to help you prepare the fruit, since you'll need to peel and slice the fruit. Hull the strawberries Puree the hulled strawberries in a blender. Place the strainer or sieve over a bowl and pour the puree through the strainer. Add 1 1/2 tbsp simple syrup to the strawberry puree and mix. Pour the sweetened strawberry mixture into your ice pop molds, filling only 1/3 of the way to the top. Put the mold in the freezer until the strawberry mixture is frozen. Peel the skin off the peaches with a peeler or knife. Remove the pits from the peaches and slice into small pieces. Puree the peaches in the blender and add 1 1/4 tbsp simple syrup. Pour the sweetened peach puree into the ice lolly mold. Put the mold in the freezer until the peach mixture is frozen. Peel the kiwi with a knife or peeler and slice into smaller pieces. Puree the sliced kiwi and 1 1/4 tbsp simple syrup in the blender. Pour the sweetened kiwi mixture into the ice lolly mold. Top the mold with the lid. Put the mold in the freezer for another 2 hours, or until the kiwi mixture is frozen. Your finished ice lollies should be equal layers of pink, yellow, and green--just like a traffic light!

If the chemicals still pose a danger to the burn victim, then make sure that you remove him or her from the area of exposure. For example, if the chemicals are giving off fumes or if the victim is in danger of getting splashed with more of the chemical, then remove the victim to another room or go outside.   Always take precautions to protect yourself when tending to someone who has received a chemical burn. For example, you may need to wear long sleeves, gloves, a mask, goggles, or other protective gear to prevent yourself from receiving a similar injury. If there are any dry chemicals left on the victim's skin, then brush these chemicals off before irrigating the area. If the victim has clothing, jewelry or other items on that are contaminated with chemicals and/or obstructing your access to the burn, then make sure that you remove these items before you being treatment. Leaving these items on may cause further damage. You will also need to be able to access the burn site to brush off any leftover dry chemicals and irrigate the area with water. If you receive a burn from a chemical, you should first dilute the chemical compound. This is the best thing you can do to treat a chemical burn right away. To do this, flush the burn and the surrounding areas of skin with copious amounts of water. The water should be cool. Let the water run over the burn for 10 minutes or more.  Don't use a high pressure stream of water to wash the skin. Too much water pressure can make the chemical burn worse by driving the chemical deeper into the skin. Just use light irrigation by holding the wound under a gentle stream of water and keep it there for a long time. Some chemical burns should not be treated with immediate irrigation. These include dry lime, elemental metals such as sodium, and phenol. This is because combining these chemicals with water causes a harmful exothermic (heat-producing) reaction and/or releases hazardous byproducts. For chemicals in the eyes, remove contact lenses and use an eyewash.  These are found in...

Place your peeled ginger root on a cutting board and cut the root into planks or slices that are about 1 centimeter (0.4 in) thick. Add these pieces of ginger root to your favorite soups, stews, or curries. For example, add the ginger to:  Indian spiced carrot soup  Sweet potato soup with miso Chicken pho Spicy vegan coconut soup Add flavor to delicate white fish by steaming it in the oven with fresh ginger. Combine planks or freshly grated ginger with any other seasonings you want to use and spread it over fish. Cover the pan and roast the fish in a hot oven at 475 °F (246 °C) until the fish is flaky and cooked. Ginger works well with tilapia, salmon, halibut, and cod. Slice the ginger root into thin planks. Stack the planks and cut them into thin strips. Stir a handful of ginger root strips into any stir fry meal. For example, ginger can add a spicy heat to Szechuan dishes, lo mein, or stir-fried broccoli. To make a subtle glaze, whisk together 3 tablespoons (63 g) of honey, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of sherry vinegar, 1 tablespoon (3 g) of grated peeled fresh ginger, and 3/4 teaspoon (2 g) of ground black pepper. Brush this glaze over root vegetables, fish, pork chops, or roasts. If the food you're cooking has a long cook time, consider brushing more glaze over the food during the last 15 minutes of cooking time. . Peel a 2 inches (5.1 cm) piece of fresh ginger and slice it into planks as thinly as you can. Slice these thin planks into thin slivers or strips and toss them with chopped root vegetables on a baking sheet. Roast the vegetables and ginger for up to 45 minutes in a 425 °F (218 °C) oven. Serve the roasted ginger and vegetables with steamed rice or a barley pilaf.

TL;DR in English: Use sliced ginger root in soups or curries. Steam ginger planks or grated ginger with fresh fish. Stir fry ginger strips with vegetables, noodles, and protein. Use grated ginger to make a glaze for vegetables, fish, or roasts. Roast planks or slices of ginger with root vegetables

The standard way to teach multiplication is memorization, which only some children are good at – and it's debatable if you can classify this as learning, anyway. Make it interactive as much as possible. Use fingers and toes, blocks, an abacus, whatever you have on hand. Make it fun, not something that's discouraging. Please do not shame kids by having them recite in front of the class – it will never improve their memory but it will turn them off math forever and create an unpleasant disparity among students. With this method, students will need to know how to skip-count, which is essentially the same as multiplication. For example, skip-counting by multiples of 4 goes as follows: 4, 8,12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40. 3 x 4 = skip-count by 4 three times: 4, 8, 12. A harder example? 6 x 7 = skip-count by 7 six times: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42. The answer is 42. The best way to learn skip-counting is through the use of songs or other mnemonic devices. Skip-counting by multiples is also the primary method for multiplying single digits by remedial math systems such as Simple Math and Touch Math. Here's an idea: use a beach ball (or two). Take a permanent black marker and divide the ball in half horizontally. This will give you 12 sections. Using the same marker, number the sections from 0 through 11 randomly. Here's how the game is played:  You write a number 1 through 10 on the board (preferably the number you are working on in the classroom.) Any child in the room tosses the ball to another child. This child instantly calls out the number their right thumb is on. Both children compete in trying to be the first to say the answer, multiplying the number on the board by the number called out by the child who caught the ball. The winner continues the game by throwing the ball to another child. Have the child who throws the ball say the name of the child that they are tossing it to. This eliminates a mad scramble for many to rush to catch the ball. Pro tip? Let some air out of the ball. It is easier for third graders to...

TL;DR in English: Teach more than one way to learn. For kids who have trouble with learning multiplication, try skip counting. Turn it into a hands-on game. Change how you word the problem.

Only stones that stay within the house or button earn points. This is your team’s goal for each end. Curling is a careful game of teams throwing and knocking away stones in order to gain position in the house.  It is possible to land a stone within the active play area but outside of the house. Stones in these areas are usually guards. They never count towards any points. Teams may end up scoring no points during an end. If nobody has a stone in the house, neither team gets a point. After all stones have been thrown in the current end, the team with the stone closest to the center of the target gets a point. All of the other stones behind it don’t count. This means that only 1 team can earn points during an end. If your opponent is occupying the button and you’re throwing your last stone, you have to knock the other stone away to prevent them from scoring. For example, your opponent has a stone on the blue ring. Your stone is in the bullseye. Your team gets 1 point. Any team can score up to 8 points in an end. You get multiple points only if you have several stones closer to the bullseye than your opponent. Having multiple stones in the house doesn’t count unless your opponent’s stones are out of the way. This is why knocking out your opponent’s stones strategically can be a big deal. For example, if Team B has 3 stones closer to the center than any of Team A’s stones, Team B earns 3 points. The colored rings serve as a guide when determining who scored. To determine the distance, stand directly over the stone and locate the edge closest to the center. Do the same for any other stones to determine where they fall in the house.  The stone’s edge needs to touch the outermost margin of the house or fall within it to count. Any stones outside of the circle are out of play. When in doubt, use a measuring stick to determine how far the stones are from the button. Referees do this when they can’t make a determination by sight alone. In professional matches, referees make the final decision on scoring issues....

TL;DR in English: Get stones into the house to score points. Land the closest stone to the button to score a point. Have several stones closer to the target to score multiple points. Measure the stones’ distance from the circle to see which is closer. Tally up your points after all ends are completed.

In some circles, this is known as verb 1, 2, and 3. Place a colon next to each one. You will then write the correct conjugation next to each term.  Write down the infinitive form at the top. This is the word that is used with the word “to.” In English, it is also the part of the verb that is used with the future tense and with auxiliary verbs. For example, with the verb “to search,” the infinitive is “search.” List the present participle. This is the form of the verb that you use with the present continuous tense, such as “I am searching.” List the past participle. This is the form of the verb you would use with the past perfect, present perfect and future perfect tenses. For example, "I had searched," “I have searched," and "I will have searched." These are the most commonly used pronouns, including I, you, he, she, it, we, you and they. You are listing the first person, second person and third person, both singular and plural.  The pronouns that you conjugate will change based on the language. Clarify what conjugations you are asked to include before you start your assignment. When doing English conjugation, you can group he, she and it together. You can also opt to remove the plural 2nd person, or you, because the verb does not change based on the number of people (that is, "you search" versus "you (all) search"). While you'll be able to stop at person and number for some languages (Romance languages, namely), for others that won't be the case. If your language needs to account for gender, mood, voice (the full list is in the last section), do so now. It's still best to use a few verbs. How many "verb families" does your language have? Make sure to have one of each, including irregular verbs. Write the form of the verb that is used for each person in each tense you are working on, next to the pronoun. Have separate charts that are constructed the same, yet different for past, present, and future. For example, to conjugate the verb “to search” in the present tense, you would write “I search, you search,...

TL;DR in English: To start your chart, write the words “infinitive,” “present participle” and “past participle” on the first 3 lines. List all the types of person you should conjugate on subsequent lines. Account for gender or any other variable. Fill in the verb conjugation chart. Make charts for all your verbs.

Getting vitamin D requires you to spend some time (15 to 30 minutes) with a good amount of your skin in direct sunlight. Keeping vitamin D levels high can produce up to 20% more testosterone. Consider talking to a medical professional about vitamin D supplements if you work inside all day and cannot spend time in the sun. Moderate to mild zinc deficiencies have been shown to lower testosterone levels. Talk to a knowledgeable healthcare provider about a zinc supplement. Some studies have shown that certain herbal supplements may help to increase testosterone or combat the effects of low testosterone. Some of these herbal supplements include:  Tribulus terrestris, which has shown an increase in sexual activity in animal studies. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Withania somnifera (ashwaganda), which has been reported in preliminary clinical trials to increase sperm quality. Most studies have used up to 450 mg four times a day. Ginkgo biloba, which increases testosterone synthesis. Dosage was 270 mg of ginkgo extract 4 times a day. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Yohimbe, which has been used to increase sexual interest and treat erectile dysfunction. Doses vary but ranged from 5.4 mg (3 times a day) to 10.8 mg (3 times a day). Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

TL;DR in English: Get some sun. Take a zinc supplement. Consider herbal supplements.

This is where the footing, or foundation, of your column will be. It's important that you build the footing down into the ground as opposed to on the surface so that your column is stable. The depth and dimensions of the hole will depend on several factors, like the size of your column, how much weight it will support, and the kind of ground you're building on. If you're not sure, do some research online or consult with a professional mason.  As a rule of thumb, the hole should be at least 12 inches (30 cm) deep. Make sure the hole is at least 4 inches (10 cm) longer and wider than your column will be so you have enough room to build the footing. Verify that the bottom of the hole you dug is level before you proceed. If it's not level, your brick column won't be either, so you'll want to level it first. Cut a wooden plank or stud into 4 pieces—1 piece for each side of the frame—and nail them together to make a square frame. Then, place the frame in the hole you dug so it's laying flat on the bottom of the hole. Since you'll be using the empty inside of the frame to make your footing, make sure the frame is 4 inches (10 cm) longer and wider than your column will be when measured from the inside edges of the wood and not the outside edges. For example, if you want to build a concrete column that's 24 by 24 inches (61 cm × 61 cm), you'd want to make a frame that's 28 by 28 inches (71 cm × 71 cm) when measured from the inside edges of the frame. and let it dry completely. Once you've poured the concrete, take a piece of wood and drag it across the surface of the frame to scrape off any excess concrete and smooth out the surface so it's level for your column. Then, wait for the concrete to dry.  How long it takes for the concrete to dry will depend on the type of concrete you use. Some concrete can take weeks to fully cure, while others are designed to dry in a few hours. If you want to speed up your project, try using a fast-setting concrete mix so you can pour the concrete and start working on your column all on...

This recipe calls for sodium citrate, which is a type of salt that works as an emulsifier. This means that when it is added to cheese sauce, it reduces the cheese’s acidity, makes the proteins in the cheese more soluble, and prevents it from separating. Instead, it helps to create a smooth, creamy texture to your cheese sauce.  Look in speciality food stores and online for sodium citrate. It looks like salt and tastes salty and slightly sour. You will only need a very small amount of sodium citrate in the sauce for it to do it’s job, so it is not upping the sodium level of your cheese sauce. If you can't find sodium citrate, you can use 2 teaspoons of citric acid (or sour salt) and 2.5 teaspoons of baking sodium as a substitute. Citric acid, or sour salt, can be found in the kosher section of most grocery stores. You should also use high-quality cheese for your fancy cheese sauce, such as Pepper Jack, Gouda, or Gruyère. These cheeses will likely come in blocks. Use a grater to make 1 cup of your chosen fancy cheese. In a medium saucepan, mix together the sodium citrate and the water, beer, or wine.  There should be enough liquid mixture to just cover the bottom of your saucepan; the entire ½ cup may not be necessary so pour the liquid in a little bit at a time. Place the medium saucepan on a medium heat and bring the liquid to a low simmer, but not a full boil. There should be small bubbles forming on the surface of the liquid. Add the cheese to the pan and stir with a spoon until the cheese has melted and is blended with the liquid. Thanks to the sodium citrate, the sauce should have a smooth, creamy consistency. Put your sauce in a bowl and dip chips or vegetables into it, or pour it over chips to make nachos. You can even pour it on top of steamed vegetables to make them more delicious.  The sauce should maintain its creamy texture, even as it begins to cool. This sauce can be stored for up to a week in the refrigerator.

TL;DR in English: Gather your ingredients. Mix ½ teaspoon sodium citrate with ½ cup liquid. Heat the liquid mixture. Add the grated cheese to the pan. Serve the sauce.

Casually proposing that the two of you do something together can remove some of the anxiety and worry you may feel about asking her outright about her feelings for you. For example, you can ask her what she is doing tonight or this weekend. If her plans are open or not fixed, you can share what you would like to do and ask her if she wants to go to along with you.  If she says she’s busy, it could mean she’s not interested but it could also mean she’s actually just busy. Ask her if there are any other days that she would be free to do something and see what she says. For example, you can ask: What are you doing this weekend?” If she says “Nothing” or “I was thinking of seeing a movie,” then you can say “I was planning on going to the movies, want to go together?” If a girl is texting you about a restaurant she really wants to try, a test she is worried about, a movie she would like to see, or some school event like a party or dance, she may want you to ask her about it. Follow-up on her conversation with a subtle invitation to do the things she is interested in, with you.  For example, if she has been talking about trying a new pizza place nearby, tell her you have also been wanting to try it and suggest that you go together. If there is a school event coming up that she has been texting you about, tell her you have been looking forward to it and see if she wants to go with you. Maybe she’s been texting with you about an upcoming exam in a class you both share. This is a great opportunity for you to suggest getting together to study for it. If all else fails and you still aren’t sure how a girl feels about you, you can always just ask her directly. If she is really into you, it’s unlikely she will say “no” if you ask her about it. Depending on how bold or certain of yourself you are feeling, you can let her know you like her first, and then ask her if she feels the same.   By making the first move, you are taking the pressure off, which she might appreciate, especially if she is shy. Be prepared for her to...

An inventory test will determine how well they can already spell. You might show them pictures and ask them to spell the word. You can also do a multiple choice test, in which they must select the correctly spelled word from a list of misspellings.  Do not grade this test for points. This test is simply to see where the student is currently. You should make sure to test the learner every week or two to see how much they have learned and which concepts they are still struggling with. If the student is struggling with a particular concept, make sure to focus on those areas. Create new lists of words that tackle this unique problem. Continue to work on these concepts until the student has mastered what they were struggling with.   Include words that you know your student can achieve so the list is achievable. For example, if your student can't figure out when to use “gh,” make a list of words that includes “through,” “night, “borough,” and “brought.” Have them memorize these words if they don't understand the rules. If you have multiple students, try to create a unique list for each of them. For large classes, break the students up into groups based on their level of spelling. Make a list for each group. There are many irregular rules of spelling in the English language. While word study and phonics can help, students may need to memorize trickier words. Show the student multiple ways of studying these strange words.  Flashcards are a great tool. On one side, put a picture of the word, and on the other, spell it out. Show the student the picture, and ask them to spell the word. Review words you've already learned for a few minutes everyday.

Low-waisted flares, also known as hipster jeans, feature an extremely low waist that starts just above the pubic bone and button or zip several inches below the navel. Hipster flares were a very popular look in the early 2000s. Flared jeans are definitely making a comeback, but not the low-waisted hipster versions, which can look dated. Go for high-waisted flares that sit above the hips and button above the navel.  Look for flares that have clean lines and fit comfortably around your waist. As a bonus, high-waisted flares can elongate your legs. If your legs are on the shorter side, try this look to add a little length. Long flares used to be fashionable, but the new silhouettes are cropped or hit just above the ankle. If you’re unable to find a pair with the length you want, hem them yourself or have them tailored for you. Avoid the super-long flares that “puddle” on the floor.  Avoid buying flares that overwhelm your legs. You want them to be fitted at the knee and then gently flare out. A few designers have created lines of “petite” fitting flares, which feature a much-shortened bottom hem and a re-working of the classic shape to flatter small frames. Allison Izu is one such designer. When flares were first popularized in the 1960s, embellishments like patches, jewels, eye-catching stitching and frayed hems were popular, and they came in every wash under the sun. The flares being reintroduced into fashion today are no-frills – they aren’t overly “retro” and have little to no embellishment. The favored washes are “clean,” which means there’s no fading or distress on the material and the shade of denim appears uniform.  Look for flares with clean washes in classic true-blue and dark indigo. If you prefer lighter washes, just make sure the color is uniform. For example, icy “rinsed-out” looking hues are popular right now. While denim is probably the most popular material for flared pants, they are certainly not the only choice. Trouser flares are essentially dress pants made with fluid materials and a very...

TL;DR in English: Opt for high-waisted flares. Go for cropped or ankle-length flares. Stick to clean washes with minimal embellishment. Invest in a pair of trouser flares.

Decide on the height you want, then sketch the basic outline of the doll’s body, including head, torso, and limbs. Press lightly with your pencil so you can erase these lines later. Make sure to draw the doll in a pose that will be easy to put clothes on, such as standing up straight with the arms down and slightly lifted away from its sides.  Try sketching out some ideas on scratch paper first, then drawing your doll on a thicker piece of paper, such as a sheet of cardstock. A standard paper doll size is generally 5 to 6 inches (13 to 15 cm) tall and 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) wide. You may also want to draw on some undergarments that can be easily covered by clothes, such as a close-fitting slip, a camisole, or underwear and a bra. Once you’ve penciled in the basic outline, draw in any areas that go outside of the outline, such as hair, feet, and hands. You can either draw in toes and fingers or leave the hands and feet as general shapes. Keep the facial features simple and line-based. Once you’ve finished drawing the doll’s body in pencil, go over the lines with a black fine-tipped pen. Micron pens or extra fine-tipped Sharpie pens work well for fine-lining. Let the ink dry for 1-3 minutes, then use a white eraser to remove pencil lines. If any of the ink does smudge, use white-out to cover it. One of the best parts about drawing your own paper doll is getting to exercise your creativity and customize it as much as you want. Choose a hair color, skin tone, and eye color for your doll, then color it in. You could use crayons, markers, or paint, as well as sharpened colored pencils for more precision. Make sure to color the doll before you cut it out, because it’s much easier to color carefully and avoid any damage with the doll still on the page.

TL;DR in English: Draw the outline of the body in light pencil. Pencil in the hair and more details. Go over your drawing with a fine-tipped pen and erase pencil lines. Color in the doll’s features.

If you want to be a successful student, then paying attention in class is absolutely crucial to your success. While you don’t have to love every single subject that comes your way, you should be motivated enough to listen to your teachers, to avoid texting your friends, and to be focused enough to really hear what your teacher is telling you, and to be able to pick up on the most important aspects of each lesson.  In order to pay attention, it’s important to keep your eye on the teacher. If you’re confused about something, you can quickly ask for clarification. If the lesson goes on and you feel yourself getting more and more lost, it’ll be hard to pay attention. . Taking notes is also crucial to your success as a student. Not only will taking notes help you study later, but doing so will also keep you engaged in the classroom, and will help you learn the material because you’ll have to jot it down in your own words. Some people even use different highlighters or pens to organize their notes as they take them to really help them absorb the material. Taking notes will make you feel more accountable in the classroom and will help you listen to your teachers. If you really want to succeed in the classroom, then it’s important that you ask your teachers questions, when it’s appropriate, in order to get a stronger understanding of the material. You shouldn’t interrupt the lessons, but you should ask questions if you really have them in order to avoid being confused and to prepare for your exams. Asking questions will also keep you active in the discussion and will help you learn the material, too. At the end of each class, you can also review your notes and prepare questions to ask the next time if anything is unclear. Some teachers want you to wait until the end of the lecture to ask questions. If this is the case with your teacher, be respectful of that. If you want to succeed as a student, then it’s important for you to participate in class. You should not only ask questions when you have them, but you should...

Concrete cures best in temperatures above 50 °F (10 °C), so check the forecast for the next week. If you can expect warm temperatures, then now is the right time to pour the concrete.  Pouring in the spring or summer is ideal to avoid any unexpected cold weather. If there is a sudden cold snap after pouring the concrete, professionals usually protect the concrete by building a structure around the site and using a portable heater. This is an expensive option, but it’s the best choice to protect the concrete. While the concrete is curing, it can’t handle excessive weight. Let it dry for a full 24 hours before stepping on it to prevent damage to the surface.  If you’re water-curing the concrete, take extra care to avoid stepping on it while you re-wet the fabric. If the concrete is in an area with a lot of foot traffic, block the area off and hang signs warning about wet cement. Make sure any pedestrians will know they can't step on the area. Even if the concrete looks dry, it can't handle excessive weight until after it cures completely. If the concrete is in your driveway or a similar area that cars drive on, wait at least 10 days before driving or parking your car on it.  If you have a large vehicle like an RV or truck, wait 28 days before parking it on the concrete. Also wait 28 days if this is a commercial area with a lot of vehicle traffic, like a parking lot. The weight from multiple vehicles can cause the concrete to sink. Introducing new chemicals to the concrete before it’s completely hardened can interfere with the curing process. Wait a full month before applying any paints or stains to the concrete. If you do want to paint the concrete and used a curing compound, remember to get one that is nonreactive with paint.

TL;DR in English: Pour concrete when the temperature will be above 50 °F (10 °C) for at least 7 days. Wait 24 hours to walk on the concrete. Drive on the concrete only after 10 days have passed. Let the concrete harden for a full month before painting or staining it.

A comb with sturdy, widely spaced teeth is essential for combing out severe tangles. Fine combs and brushes are likely to meet too much resistance, forcing you to either pull out clumps of hair, or stop brushing. Be sure to pick a comb that doesn't have teeth so wide that smaller tangles slip through. Always comb tangled hair starting near the ends. Place the comb a few inches (several centimeters) from the end of the tangled hair, and brush downward. Repeat until that section of hair is free of tangles, then move the comb slightly higher up. Repeat until the entire length of your hair is combed. For long or thick, severely matted hair, this may take an hour or more. If you have a sensitive scalp, hold a section of your hair as you brush it. Grasp a portion of hair about the thickness of a marker or glue stick between your fingers, and give it a half-twist to keep the comb from pulling directly on your scalp. Comb this portion of hair beneath your hand, moving your grip higher once the hair below it is successfully untangled. Apply a drop of conditioner or oil to a tough knot and rub it in with your finger. This will help lubricate those hair strands further, reducing the amount they cling to each other. If a mat of hair refuses to come apart despite all your efforts, you may need to thin it out. Open a pair of scissors and hold your hair tight with your other hand. Run the bottom blade of the scissors along the underside of the mat, then gently tug at your hair to remove loose strands. If it has been weeks or months since the last time you combed your hair, cutting mats out may be your best option, as you can spend hours detangling with no results. Use a wide-toothed comb until the severe mats and tangles have been straightened out. Switch to a fine-toothed comb or a brush to remove any small knots that may remain. Rinse out any hair treatments completely once your hair is untangled. If you have tightly coiled hair, and the severe mats have separated enough to allow you to part your hair, clip each section...

TL;DR in English: Use a wide toothed comb. Comb the ends first. Hold your hair higher up to prevent pain. Apply additional conditioner or oil if necessary. Thin stubborn mats with scissors. Finish with a fine-toothed comb or brush. Rinse your hair.

Rub the cube directly over your skin till you feel numb and the cube melts. Try to work with only one or two cubes if possible, to avoid having them melt all over the place. Consider holding each cube with a clean washcloth. As the cube melts, it will be absorbed by the washcloth, reducing further mess. Do this for a while after you've noticed the burn. The cubes will slowly melt but provide longer relief. Keep a dry towel nearby to catch the melting liquid. Once you've used your aloe vera cubes and treated the burn, avoid rubbing your burn with a towel. Instead, let your skin dry naturally. If you plan to use the entire tray, dump the cubes into a separate bowl you can maintain in the freezer. Then refill the tray and freeze so you have another round on hand.

TL;DR in English: Apply one cube to the affected area the minute (or even before) you feel pain. Wrap several cubes in a thin towel and hold over the affected area. Allow the burn to air dry. Refill your ice cube tray for future use.

Wash and peel the apples first. Then, prepare them in one of the following ways:  Core the apples, then cut them into rings/slices. Cut the apples into thin wedges.  Cut the apples into quarters, then into ½-inch (1.27 centimeters) thick slices. Tilt the skillet from side-to-side as the butter melts to help it spread evenly across the bottom. You can use white or brown sugar, but brown sugar will give you a better flavor. Keep stirring until the sugar and cinnamon are mixed evenly with the butter. Turn the apples often with a spatula or wooden spoon so that they get cooked evenly. Scoop the apple slices out with a spoon, and serve them in a bowl. If you don't want the "sauce" leftover from the apples, scoop them out using a slotted spoon instead.

TL;DR in English: Prepare the apples for frying. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir the sugar and cinnamon into the butter. Add the apples, and cook them over medium-high heat for about 5 to 8 minutes. Serve the apples while they are still warm.

Colleges usually offer grants or partial scholarships. Look for programs or scholarships from outside sources that can help with the remaining cost. Apply for as many of these scholarships as you can to reduce the cost of your education as much as possible. Once you are in college, maintain the academic standing required of your scholarship. Most grants or scholarships require that you maintain a certain GPA or otherwise remain in good academic standing. Continue to work hard and get grades high enough to keep your scholarship for as long as you need it. Athletic scholarships are highly competitive, and they only go to the best players in a region or state. If you're not the best player on your team and in your region, getting an athletic scholarship will be difficult. Practice and work hard to improve in your sport. Contact coaches at colleges you're interested in.  The best athletic schools might overlook mediocre academics, but if a scholarship comes down to you and a similar player with better grades, chances are it'll go to the other person. Because of this, keep your grades up, too. Being proactive about getting recruited will put you on the coach's radar as an athlete. Since you came to them, they'll know you're interested in their school and will be more likely to consider you. While this scholarship can help you get a top-tier education for free, it comes with a cost. You'll have to spend upwards of 20 hours a week practicing your sport, which can keep you from investing in the academics of college. These scholarships are also re-awarded each year, so they can be taken away if your coach doesn't feel you need or deserve it each year.  Consider lower-division schools, too. While you may dream of playing for your favorite Division I school, these scholarships are much more difficult to get. The ROTC also offers scholarships if you're looking into joining the military. For most ROTC programs, you will serve four years of active service and four years with the Individual Ready Reserve, during which you...

.  If an AED is available in the immediate area, use it as soon as possible to jump-start the victim's heart.  Make sure there are no puddles or standing water in the immediate area. It should have voice prompts that tell you what to do. Remove any metal necklaces or underwire bras. Check for any body piercings, or evidence that the victim has a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator to avoid shocking too close to those spots. These are usually marked with a medical bracelet, but may they may not have one. Make sure the chest is absolutely dry and the victim is not in a puddle. Note that, if the person has a lot of chest hair, you may need to shave it, if possible. Some AED kits come with razors for this purpose. Follow the instructions on the AED for placement. Move the pads at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from any metal piercings or implanted devices. Make sure no one is touching the person when you apply the shock. Loudly shout, “Stand back!” before administering the shock. If a shock is needed for the patient, the machine will notify you. If you do shock the victim, make sure no one is touching him or her. Stick on adhesive electrode pads are intended to be left in place.

Ensure that there’s nothing in the oven, and turn the heat on. While the oven heats, you can measure out your ingredients and begin to prepare the dish. Be patient while the oven heats up. Depending on what kind of oven you have, it may take some time to reach the right temperature. Most ovens will make a noise when they’ve reached the correct temperature. To make the cheese bubbly, carefully pull the foil off of the dish. Leave it in the oven on the same temperature for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese starts to bubble around the edges. If you like crispier cheese, leave the uncovered dish in the oven for 12-13 minutes. Let the dish cool for 5 minutes, and then use a spoon or spatula to remove a portion from the dish. You can sprinkle additional cheese across the tortellini to make it even cheesier! If you have leftover tortellini, scoop it into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for 1 week to enjoy the left overs.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Remove the foil and bake the dish for 10 additional minutes. Scoop the tortellini out of the dish to serve.

There are paint thinners that have been created specifically for model use. If you are using a specific brand of paint, use the same brand of paint thinner. If you can't find paint thinner or want to create your own, combine 50% distilled water with 50% of propyl alcohol and your paint in a 1:1 ratio. Thinning out the paint lightens the consistency and enables you to make more consistent coats. Use a mild dish soap and cold water with a rag to wash off your car. Remove any particles of dust that may have built up on the surface of the car as a result of sanding. Wipe the model dry before moving onto the next step. Dip your brush into your paint and fill in the more intricate pieces of your model, like the mirrors first. Make sure not to paint over areas where your model will fit together, or you may have trouble assembling your model correctly. Get a variety of different sized brushes to make painting easier. You can use either a synthetic or natural-haired brush to paint your car models. Continue to paint over larger parts of the car. Do not dab or scrape with the brush unless you are doing specific detailing. Instead, you want to achieve an even coat by making long and even strokes. Popular paints for model cars include Testors, Model Masters, Humbrol, Tamiya, PollyScale, Floquil, and Vallejo. Allow your model car to dry overnight before going back to apply additional coats to the model. Continue to work at painting your car, applying the paint as evenly across the model as possible. Apply painter's tape to finished details so that you don't ruin them when applying additional coats of paint.
