Keep a pair of glasses on hand even if you regularly wear contacts. Take care of glasses and contacts to avoid infection. Maintain good hygiene with personal care and makeup products. Wear eye protection to prevent injury while playing sports or while doing yard and household tasks. Keep screens at a distance.

Pat each piece gently with a towel, then set them aside to finish air drying. This should only take about half an hour or so. You should not attempt to reassemble or turn on your razor until it has dried completely. Avoid using a hair dryer or any other artificial means to speed up the drying process. This may result in irreparable damage to your razor.

TL;DR in English: Allow the razor to dry before using it again.

The oven is usually the best way to heat up large quantities of macaroni and cheese, especially if you are reheating a leftover casserole. A glass baking dish is ideal. Add about 1 tablespoon of milk per 1 cup of macaroni and cheese.  However, skip this step if you are reheating a mac and cheese casserole that has a crumb or crunchy topping. This should take 20-30 minutes. Add a layer of shredded cheese (cheddar works great!) to the top of your macaroni and cheese.  After 20 minutes, remove the foil, and cook for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese topping is bubbly and brown. For a bit of extra crunch, you could stir in 2-3 tablespoons of seasoned bread crumbs to the shredded cheese before sprinkling it on top.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 350º F (175º C). Place your macaroni and cheese in a shallow, oven-proof dish. Stir in some milk. Cover the baking dish with foil, and bake until heated through. For a nice topping, add some extra cheese on top.

Your teacher may assign a book to you, or give you a list from which to choose. If she/he doesn't give you a specific book, you may find it helpful to ask your school librarian to recommend something that's appropriate for the assignment. If you can, pick a book on a topic that interests you, as this will make it more enjoyable for you to read. Your teacher may give you an assignment or prompt that gives you specific details on the book report. Be sure you follow all the guidelines given, such as how long the report needs to be and what it needs to include.  Don't confuse a book report with a book review. A book report summarizes a book and may offer your opinion on a book, but it usually focuses more on facts about the book. A book review usually describes what a book says and evaluates how the book works. If you have any questions, ask your teacher. It's much better to ask questions when you don't understand something than to try to muddle through only to produce work that isn't what your teacher expected. It will be much easier to draft your book report if you've taken notes as you go along, rather than trying to remember everything at the end. As you read, jot down a few notes on the following:  Characters. If your book is fiction (or a biography or memoir), keep track of who the major characters are. What are they like? What do they do? Are they different at the end of the book than the beginning? Did you like them? Setting. This category mainly applies to fiction. The setting of a book is where and when the story takes place (for example, the Harry Potter novels' main setting is the school of Hogwarts). The setting may have significant influence on the characters and the story. Story. What happens in the book? Who did what? Where in the book (beginning, middle, end) do important things seem to happen? Were there any clear “turning points” in the story, where things seem to change from what came before? How did the story resolve? What parts are your favorite parts of the story? Main ideas/themes. This...

TL;DR in English: Pick an appropriate book. Make sure you understand the assignment. Take notes while you read.

You may still have to see your former friend at school or work. Try to make the transition from friendship easier by avoiding them, avoiding drama, and avoiding sending mixed signals.  Spend less time together or break off all contact. Unfollow or hide each other on social media. Avoid sitting next to each other in class or at work. Keep other supportive people around. Keep things light. Shift how much you rely on them or confide in them. Avoid insulting them or badmouthing them to others if you do have to interact with them. Even though you’re growing apart, you used to be friends or liked each other at one point. There’s no need to be mean to them in public or talk about them behind their back. Give yourself time to cry and express your hurt, just like you would if you had broken up with a romantic interest. This grieving process is especially important if you were very close or friends for a long time. Ways you can grieve include:  Talking to other friends and loved ones Spending time at home with things that comfort you, like your pet or a favorite TV show Getting outside and exercising Journaling Once you’ve had time apart from your friend, think about how you felt in the friendship and what you learned from it. Reflect on what went well and wrong in the friendship, what qualities annoyed you about your friend, and what you’d do differently in the future.  Look at your own behavior, not just theirs. Learn what limits you need to set with friends in the future. Avoid friends who ask too much of you or always expect you to listen to their problems. Friendships, just like romantic relationships, have a natural life cycle. This means you might be drawn together because of things you have in common, like work, school, or hobbies, but as you get older and your interests change, you may grow apart from each other naturally. Sometimes you just outgrow people, and that’s okay.

TL;DR in English: Set boundaries. Avoid drama. Let yourself grieve. Learn from the experience. Remember that sometimes relationships end.

An extra pair of glasses is handy in case you experience irritation or infection, or are waiting on an updated prescription from your physician for your contacts. Care for your contact lenses and store them according the manufacturer and professional guidelines.   Always handle both glasses and contacts with clean hands. Wear and replace contact lenses according to the schedule provided by your eye care professional. Keep your contact lens case clean and replace it every three months. Remove contact lenses and contact your physician immediately if you experience redness, irritation, pain, sensitivity, blurry vision, eye discharge, or swelling. Wash your hands before applying products to your face and eye area, and keep product containers clean and dry. Throw away products that you use on or near your eyes at least every three months.  If you experience conjunctivitis or “pink eye,” it is especially important to toss makeup and products to prevent re-infection. Nearly 2.4 million eye injuries occur in the United States annually.  Protective eyewear includes safety glasses, goggles, safety shields, and eye guards. Make sure your employer follows safety guidelines and provides protective eyewear if needed. Follow workplace safety compliance and wear eye gear when instructed. The high-energy visible (HEV) light, often called “blue light” emitted by digital screens is the main culprit in damaging eye tissue.  Ensure computer monitors are about an arm’s length away (between 20-26 inches).  Tablets and smartphones should be held at least 16 inches away. To aid in reading small font, increase the text size on the screen rather than holding it closer to your face.

If you are a member, some good ideas for a business are a restaurant, a zoo, a big orphanage/daycare/kindergarten school, a party at your den, or a big fashion show. For a non-member, some good ideas are a small orphanage/daycare/kindergarten, a class of some sort (drama classes are great), shops (pizza parlor, Starbucks, etc), a small fashion show or a party at somewhere other than your den (like Jamaa Township). Set up your event/business, and advertise by saying, "*Insert name of event here* at *insert location here (it's usually your den)*!" Then, start the event! Go to the Town Square and see if anyone is advertising a restaurant or saying that they need employees. If they are, go to their den and say that you want to be an employee. Tell them if you want to advertise, be a chef, or be a waiter/waitress. If you can't find anyone advertising a restaurant, you could join a new world by clicking the gear icon near the right top corner of your screen, then clicking the icon next to the words, "World", and choosing a world, or go to the Aquarium, the Hot Cocoa Hut, or the Smoothie Hut and work there. If you are at the Aquarium, give tours of the Aquarium to the animals who come in. Or if you are at the Hot Cocoa Hut or Smoothie Hut, pretend to get the animals a drink. If someone is already working at your potential workplace, ask to be hired and prepare for a job interview because they might give you one. If nobody is there, just start working! Go to the Town Square and say, "Advice Center! Follow me to get free advice!" Then, if anyone comes, give them whatever advice they need. Or ask them their biggest dream, for example, ask, "What is your biggest dream?" They may say something strange like, "I want to be eaten alive by a giant". Be respectful and ask them why that is their biggest dream and you could for fill that dream by helping or roleplaying. " Or yell, " Come to my den if you want a tour! Buddy your tourists (AKA followers) and start touring the beauty of Jamaa! Buy a stethoscope and doctor's bag....

Another simple method for getting all of toothpaste out of the tube involves cutting the package open. For this, you'll need a pair of sharp scissors. A knife, box-cutter, or other instrument is not recommended, since it could slip and cut your hand. Using your scissors, cut off the very bottom and very top of the toothpaste tube. You will want to hold the tube steady with one hand, and hold the scissors in your other hand. Once again, using your scissors, make a vertical slice down the side of the tube. Now you will be able to fold the toothpaste tube completely open, and see all of the toothpaste you have left. Again, don't use a knife or blade to do this. Trying to cut the tube down the middle line with a blade puts you at risk for cutting yourself. You can rub your toothbrush against this inner packaging to apply toothpaste to your brush. Additionally, you may also want to store the extra paste. You can either transfer this toothpaste to another container (such as a glass jar or Tupperware), or simply place the open packaging inside a Ziploc bag for future use.

TL;DR in English: Get some scissors. Cut off the top and bottom of the tube. Split the tube open. Store toothpaste.

Each time you make a decision throughout the day, there is some purpose behind it. Given the hectic demands of day-to-day life, people sometimes lose track of the purpose and goals behind their actions. Try to be aware of the inherent purposes driving you throughout the day.  Focus on larger goals at work or school. Where do you want to be in five years? Two years? One year? How are you current actions serving this goal? Do your actions make sense reasonably given your larger purpose? Answering these questions can help you improve your reasoning skills.  Try to make sure your actions are actually serving some purpose. Oftentimes, people get caught up in the idea something has to be done in a particular way or they have to follow a particular path. Actions then become unreasonable. Try to keep the end in mind when you take a certain action. Everyone has biases, whether they are aware of them or not. If you want to improve reasoning skills, try to identify your biases.  A major bias is that people often only consider a situation or a problem from one point of view. When dealing with an issue at work, school, or home pause and ask yourself a few questions before taking action. Ask, "What do I believe about the situation? Why do I believe this? What assumptions might I be making about the thoughts and ideas of others?"  It's important to take steps to be self-aware of your own biases. This can help you avoid having those biases obstruct your judgment. It may even be helpful to ask a close friend about your gaps in thinking. Approach a friend with a question like, "What are some ways I sometimes behave irrationally?" Ask for honesty and openness. Each time you make a choice, there are consequences. A good way to improve reasoning skills is to make a point of stopping to consider those consequences on a conscious level.  Use your imagination. Before making a choice in a given situation, pause to imagine a variety of possible outcomes. How do you feel about these outcomes? What's the worst case scenario? Best case...

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to the purpose behind your actions. Identify your biases. Consider the implications of your options.

When Ubuntu is the only operating system of the computer, you can remove it by using an operating system install disc for any operating system. Once you’ve inserted it, restart the computer and boot from CD, as outlined in Step 2 above. Once you start the installation process for the new operating system, you are given the opportunity to create and delete partitions on your hard drive. Select your Ubuntu partition and delete it. This will return the partition to unallocated space. Once the partition is deleted, Ubuntu has been successfully removed from the computer. You can now install a new operating system such as Windows 7 or Windows 8. If you choose not to install the operating system, your computer will be unusable until one is installed.

TL;DR in English: Insert the disc of the operating system you want to install. Delete the Ubuntu partition. Continue installing the operating system, or remove the disc and power down the computer.

When the ice cube tray is filled, it's time to put it in the freezer. Many freezers have an area that's meant to hold ice cube trays, but if yours doesn't, find a spot where the tray can sit on a flat surface to allow the cubes to freeze evenly. The back of the freezer tends to be the coldest, so try to place the tray as far back as you can. In order for the water to freeze into solid cubes, you'll need to leave the tray in the freezer for approximately six hours. For best results, however, leave the tray in the freezer overnight. How long it takes for the cubes to freeze depends on how deep you filled the tray and how crowded your freezer is. When the ice cubes have frozen solid in the tray, you should remove them. Storing them in the tray exposes them to the scents and tastes in your freezer, which can lead to poor tasting ice. Pop the cubes out of the tray, and store them in an airtight freezer bag or plastic container.  Some ice cube trays come with a cover. If yours had a lid, you can store the cubes in the tray. This way, the tray will catch any potential drips or spills. You shouldn't leave ice cubes in the freezer for more than a week even if they're in an airtight container. Make a fresh batch if your ice is old.

If you are having abnormal uterine bleeding, then see your physician as soon as possible.  Abnormal vaginal bleeding can be the result of many different conditions ranging from not serious to life threatening. Some possible reasons why you may be having abnormal uterine bleeding may include:  Celiac disease Certain types of cancer Endometriosis Gonorrhea Hypothyroidism Hyperthyroidism Polycystic ovary syndrome Pregnancy Stopping birth control pills Vaginitis Uterine polyps or fibroids A common early treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding is a low-dose contraceptive that contains synthetic estrogens and progestins. This medication should help to normalize your menstrual cycle and decrease your menstrual flow. Talk to your doctor about getting a prescription for a low-dose contraceptive if this option appeals to you. Keep in mind that low-dose contraceptives should be taken for a short time unless you want to use the drug to prevent pregnancy as well. If you have abnormal uterine bleeding that is heavy, then higher doses of estrogen may be necessary to normalize your cycle.  Keep in mind that there are significant risks associated with these drugs.  Do not use these medications if you:  Have recently given birth Smoke more than 15 cigarettes per day and you are over 35 years old Have a personal or family history of breast cancer, liver disease, blood clots, migraines, high blood pressure, gallbladder disease,  heart disease, diabetes, or high triglyceride blood levels. Progesterone (or a synthetic progestin) may be used on its own in women who cannot or do not want to take estrogens. Progesterone may also be used if a previous treatment using oral contraceptives did not help to control the bleeding or if lab tests show that progesterone levels are low.  Progesterone may be given in the form of a pill, an IUD intrauterine device) or as an injection. Keep in mind that progesterone alone will not prevent pregnancy. If you want to prevent pregnancy, then you will need to take another contraceptive as well. This...

TL;DR in English: See a doctor as soon as possible. Ask your doctor about a low-dose contraceptive. Try a higher dose estrogen therapy for heavy bleeding. Look into progesterone-only treatments. Try tranexamic acid. Consider male androgen if other treatments are not successful. Ask about dilation and curettage. Discuss surgical options.

For the best texture and taste, insist on meat that is organic and/or free of artificial hormones. Specify that you want a raw pork belly that hasn't already been cured or sliced. For a fattier bacon, ask for meat that came from the hog's belly and/or chest. For a meatier bacon, ask for meat that covered the hog's spare ribs. Whole pork bellies typically weigh between 10 and 12 pounds, but if you are experimenting with cure recipes, ask for a smaller cut in case you end up not liking your concoction. If you purchased your pork belly from a commercial vendor other than a farm and plan on curing it as soon as you get home, skip this step, since the meat has already been chilled. But if you buy direct from a farm, ask the farmer how long ago the hog was slaughtered, because you need to chill your meat within 24 hours of that time. In either case, bring along a cooler stocked with ice to keep the pork belly relatively cool on the ride home if it takes you more than half an hour.  Once home, place the pork belly in a sealable container to keep your fridge clean and prevent cross-contamination with other items. For a quicker chill, set the container inside the fridge wherever it is coldest. To further reduce the chance of cross-contamination, set it in the meat compartment, away from other products. Keep the refrigerator's temperature at 40 degrees Fahrenheit and let the pork belly sit until its core temperature drops to 42 degrees, which will help kill bacteria. If you are chilling multiple bellies, set each one in its own container rather than stacking the meat directly on top of each other. Either ask your butcher to do it for you when you purchase the meat, or do it at home yourself. In the latter case, use a sharpened knife since the skin is tough. Begin your cut at any corner of the belly. As you slice the skin off, angle the blade toward the skin, rather than away from it, so you don't end up trimming off any more precious meat than necessary. Once your skin is removed, the meat will absorb more of the cure....

TL;DR in English: Buy a fresh pork belly. Chill your meat. Cut the skin off.

Having too much on your plate and not enough time to do it can stress anyone. It can be even more stressful when you have anxiety and have to overcome anxiety related procrastination. Prioritizing your activities and tasks will help you keep perspective on what needs to be done and help you feel less overwhelmed.  Make a list of all the things you need to get done. Highlight, circle, or put a star beside those things that are time-sensitive or will have serious negative consequences if they aren’t completed. Make an effort to complete your important/ high priority tasks first. With so many things that you need to get done and so many responsibilities and obligations that you are trying to meet, you may not make much time to do things that you enjoy. You can tackle anxiety and beat anxiety related procrastination if you make sure that you are carving some time out to do something fun or relaxing for yourself.  Spend at least a few hours each week doing something like writing, reading, biking, sleeping, or binge watching webisodes. Take a few minutes each evening to do something that you want to do – not that you need to do. Procrastinating can cause you to have to rush to complete tasks and activities. In your rush, you may be sacrificing your health by skipping meals, pulling ‘all-nighters’, and doing other things to try to make more time to finish your tasks.   Make sure you are getting 6 – 8 hours of sleep each night. Eat balanced meals and nutritious snacks so you have the energy to complete your tasks and activities. Stop smoking. Research suggests that quitting smoking can help you improve your physical health, as well as reduce your anxiety.  Avoid alcohol and substance abuse. Mixing either of these with your anxiety can create more problems for you.

TL;DR in English: Prioritize your activities. Make time for you. Nurture your body.

Your dog's stomach may be swollen if it makes a tympanic, drum-like sound when you flick it. This means the stomach is full of gas. While swelling is the most obvious symptom of bloat, it can be difficult to spot in Great Danes because of their large size. If you're unsure whether your Great Dane has a swollen stomach, discuss your concerns with a veterinarian rather than wait for symptoms to improve. Early treatment of bloat can greatly increase chances of survival. Increasing stomach pressure may lead to:  Swelling Closing of the stomach so that it becomes sealed full of air Shutting down of blood supply to the stomach wall Decreased blood supply to major organs Organ failure Toxin buildup in the blood stream Shock from major swings in electrolytes and blood pressure Death from low blood pressure and toxin buildup Lift up your Great Dane's lips and look at his gums. They should be a healthy pink color and color should quickly return if you press the gums and release your finger. If you notice pale or ashen gums or the gums remain blanched white after you press them, your dog may have bloat. If your dog's gums are unusually dark red, blue, or white, get medical attention immediately. Your dog may have bloat if he has labored breathing that sounds heavy and rapid. It might sound like your dog is panting instead of breathing. If he has bloat, your Great Dane's pulse will also be rapid as though he just exercised. Under normal conditions, a Great Dane's heart rate is around one beat per second. He should also breathe every two to three seconds during rest. Your Great Dane may drool heavily and have strings of saliva hanging from his mouth. This happens when the stomach is sealed off, leaving swallowed saliva nowhere to go. The Great Dane gives up swallowing and drools instead. You may also notice your dog dry retching. If your dog has eaten recently, but is dry heaving contact a veterinarian immediately. This is a classic sign of bloat. Dogs that are deep chested and narrow-bodied are at high risk of bloat....

TL;DR in English: Look for swelling. Check your dog's mouth. Pay attention to breathing and pulse. Watch for drooling. Consider your dog's body type.

After organizing your inventory, purchase simple magazine racks to store your gift bags in. You don't need anything too fancy—basic magazine racks will do. Designate each rack for a specific gift bag category. Using wicker baskets to store you bags is a simple way to organize them. Fold your bags up and place each category in different baskets. This is ideal for anyone who has lots of shelf space but no organization system. If you purchase water bottles regularly, you can recycle them into homemade baskets. Use one box for each category and store them beside or on top of each other. Attach metal drawer handles to them using screws to make them easier to get a hold of. Split your gift bags into piles according to occasion. For example, put all of your Christmas-themed bags into one pile and Easter bags in another. Or, make a pile for holidays like Easter and Christmas, and others for celebratory occasions like weddings and birthdays. This will help you determine how many magazine racks you need. Try using one basket per category. If any category is particularly big, split it across two baskets. Purchase or create labels for each basket. Use clear writing and colors to make it easy to distinguish between each one. If you're creating your own labels, one simple idea is to cut out squares of various colored construction paper, assigning one color to each category. For example, blue for birthdays, yellow for new babies, and green for holidays.

TL;DR in English:


Wear a contrasting shirt with an interesting design. Play around with the fit of the shirt. Consider the occasion.

A child with RAD will rarely, if ever, seek comfort when under stress. They are also unlikely to respond when comforted. Since they did not form a normal attachment to a caregiver when they were younger, they will not seek comfort or affection in the way that most children would.  For instance, if they fall off of their bicycle, they might show emotion, but they are unlikely to run to a caregiver to soothe them.  They have a tendency to deal with their pain on their own. In some cases, they may show emotional responses that are inappropriate or excessive for a situation. For example, a child that stubs his toe may cry hysterically for longer than would be usual. Children with RAD will often respond with very little emotion or affect to others. Though most children are socialized to laugh and smile based on the people and circumstances around them, children with RAD will typically display a very flat or neutral disposition. For instance, a child with RAD might receive a gift at a birthday party and not crack a smile.  But a child without RAD might smile or yell with excitement. RAD diagnosis is not related to self-harm, impulsive or aggressive behavior or other harmful behaviors. Likewise, lying, stealing, destruction of property, gorging of food or inappropriate sexual behavior are also not considered symptoms of this disorder. There is a lot of misinformation about RAD online, but none of the aforementioned behaviors are considered relevant to the diagnosis.

TL;DR in English: Evaluate if they are unresponsive in times of distress. Assess any lack of emotion in social settings. Be cautious about jumping to conclusions based on a child acting out.

If you live in Pennsylvania, there are several places that offer Pennsylvania Dutch classes, including Pennsilfaanish Deitsch Friend Groups (the Amish equivalent of churches), some universities, and some public libraries. The Pennsylvania German Society maintains a list of places that offer lessons and classes. There are not many printed sources in Pennsylvania Dutch, because it is primarily a spoken dialect, but there are some that will help you become a fluent reader.  The Pennsylvania Dutch Dialect Project includes a variety of short texts in the language, including jokes!  The German-Pennsylvanian Association maintains a website and blog that is mostly written in the language.  The Pennsylvania German Society publishes a journal, Der Reggeboge, that includes dialect pieces and columns.  The “Pennsylvania Dutch Blog” sometimes features pieces written in the dialect.  Pennsylvania native Brad Humble maintains a blog, "Brad Humble's Amish Country," on Amish culture and language that includes a cookbook, dictionary, and list of phrases. Because Pennsylvania Dutch is often pronounced quite differently from modern German, it’s important to listen to native speakers and attend to their pronunciation.  The University of Wisconsin at Madison has collected a bunch of audio interviews with Amish speakers, with transcripts provided.  Hiwwe wie Driwwe has its own YouTube channel with videos in spoken Pennsylvania Dutch. If you’re really serious about learning more about Amish culture and language, there are some colleges and universities that can help you. Millersville University, Kutztown University, and Elizabethtown College (all located in Pennsylvania) all have centers for the study of Pennsylvania German culture and language.

TL;DR in English: Check if there are classes available in your area. Read as much as you can in the language. Listen to spoken Pennsylvania Dutch. Attend a college that has resources for Amish study.

The first thing you need to do is to add up all of the numbers in the set. Let's say you're working the following set of numbers: 1, 2, 3, and 6. 1+2+3+6=12{\displaystyle 1+2+3+6=12}. There are 4 distinct numbers in the set. So, take the sum of the numbers, 12, and divide it by 4 to get the average.12/4=3{\displaystyle 12/4=3}. The average of the group of numbers is 3.

If you choose a solid-colored knee-length skirt, you’re going pretty traditional. So, it will make for an interesting contrast to pair the skirt with a more modern shirt.  Pick a shirt with an edge that speaks youth. For example, you could wear a cropped shirt, or a black shirt with shapes cut out in the sleeves. Crop tops are a great idea if you’re younger. Celebrities wear this look all the time. If you're wearing a belt, you will likely want a shirt that doesn't have a lot of fabric or a busy pattern. The belt itself will be the attention-getting item. You could choose a graphic T-shirt with a statement on it that is young and sassy. You could wear a plaid shirt or a shirt with gemstones or polka dots. Some people wear patterned knee-length skirts, but because of the amount of fabric, you might want to choose a solid color and save the pattern for the shirt. You could also play with contrasts in fabric, pairing the skirt with a denim shirt, for example, or with a T-shirt. Some people wear sweatshirts with the knee-length skirt. Again, play around with contrasts. Since the knee-length skirt can be seen as dowdy or just traditional in some corners, you have more leeway to spice up the top.  A good rule of thumb is to not wear tight all over clothes. In other words, if you wear a more form-fitting shirt, don’t wear a tight or revealing top. The reverse is also true. Thus, because the knee-length skirt is classic, you could wear a shirt that shows a little cleavage or is just a little more form-fitting. Wear a long sweater. One common look with a knee-length skirt is to wear a slouchy sweater. This can give the entire look a cooler vibe. Which knee-length skirt you choose can depend on the formality of the occasion.  Skirts with more going on, such as pleats, ruffles, or other detailing, are going to work better for a night out, and they might seem frivolous for work. Stick with simple pencil or A-line skirts for business occasions, and the simpler the better if you're in a more informal setting too. Fabric...

Choose your shade. Decide what type of concealer you want to use.

Start your warm up with joint rotations in order to lubricate your joints and prepare them for the work out. Start by making circles with your feet. Work your way up to the knees, hips, and shoulders Finish by rotating your wrists.  Rotate your ankles by moving them in small circles. You can rotate them clockwise or counterclockwise. This can be done seated or standing. To lubricate your knee joints, come to a standing position. Pull your right knee up towards your chest. Release it back to the ground. Pull your left knee up towards your chest. Release it back down. Repeat as needed. Lubricate your hips by completing single leg rotations. Stand near a wall or workout bench for balance. Anchor your left foot on the ground. Rest your hand on the wall or bench for support. Raise your right leg up, bend the knee to the 90 degrees. Rotate your raised leg, moving your knee from the front to the side. Repeat with the left leg. To warm-up your shoulders, begin with small shoulder shrugs. Transition from shrugging your shoulders to rotating your arms in clockwise circles, followed by counterclockwise circles. Move your wrists in a clockwise motion. Switch to a counterclockwise motion after approximately 30 seconds. Skip rope for at least 5 minutes, aiming to increase the number of jumps-in-a-row as you go. Skipping is an excellent, low-impact activity. It increases your blood circulation, raises your core body temperature, and elevates your heart rate. It also helps you work on your coordination, which is an important component of bag training and boxing. If there is a bike or a treadmill available to you, bike or jog instead of jumping rope. Complete your warm-up with a light stretch. Begin by stretching the muscle groups in the lower half of your body--your calves, hamstrings, and lower back. Move onto your upper body. Stretch your core, upper back, arms, and neck. Spend a little extra time stretching muscles that are particularly sore.  To stretch your calves, stand approximately two feet from a wall.

Take any size piece of paper and fold it in half to make your card. Of course, you can make the card as big or small as you want and fold it to open sideways or flip up. Decorate the front and inside of your card however you wish. Add bows or glitter to make it original. When you decorate the inside, plan how many flowers you want, how large you want them, and where you want them. Once you’ve decorated your card, open it and use a pen to mark with an X where you plan to place your pop up flowers. This will give you a final number of how many you need to make. Once you mark the spots, put your card in a safe place so that you can make your flowers. Using colorful paper, outline as many flowers as you had X’s on your card. You can make them all the same kind and color or you can vary them. Try cutting out two flowers and gluing them together. Rather than gluing them directly on top of one another, twist one so that the petals from the bottom are seen in between the petals of the other.  The size of your flowers and the length of your springs depends on how much wobble you want the flowers to have. Larger flowers will be heavier and flop around more, while smaller flowers will stay in place easier. Make sure you aren't obstructing your text with overly large flowers. The easiest flower to draw will have four to five petals and you can easily draw one by placing a small circular item on your paper (a penny is a good starting point). Next, simply trace a bubbled outline around the circle to make your flower. Now that you have all of your flowers cut out, you can decorate them. Use glitter, markers, or chalk to add fun to the future pop up flowers for your card. To make them 3D, you can fold the petals to give them some structure. Simply crease the petals down the middle so that the petals stand up. There are 2 methods for this. For one, cut strips of construction paper three inches long and the width of your flowers. Cut as many strips as you have flowers. Take a strip and fold ½” up. Keep this fold and make a...

TL;DR in English: Start with your card. Mark the spot for your flowers. Cut out your flowers. Add extras to your flowers. Make the pop up springs. Wait for your card to dry. Glue the springs to your card. Glue your flowers on. Carefully close your card.

Depending on the type of company for which you work, your employer may either offer a 401(k) or a 403(b) plan. You may be automatically enrolled in this type of plan and have employer matching (where your contributions are matched by your employer), depending on your employer's policies. These accounts are separate from individual retirement plans like IRAs or Roth IRAs, which do not involve your employer.  Contributions are made pre-tax.  This means you only pay income taxes on the portion of your salary that you did not contribute to the retirement account. The funds you contribute to the account are then invested to allow them to grow.  Your employer may offer you a default investment.  Or, you may be able to choose how to invest the money. Your employer may also offer a matching program.  This means they may match your contributions up to a certain amount. You must comply with the limits for contributions.  The contribution limits depend on your age and marital status. As of 2015, for those under the age of 50, the maximum an individual can contribute is $18,000 per year or $1,500 per month.  Couples can contribute up to $36,000 per year. Those over the age of 50 can contribute up to $24,000 per year per individual, or up to $48,000 per year for a couple. You pay income taxes on the money when you collect it during retirement. This is a bank account that allows you to save money for retirement in a tax-advantaged way. Also, age and the amount of contributions you are already making to retirement accounts at work affect the tax advantages of your IRA account.  With a traditional IRA, you may be able to deduct contributions to your IRA on your tax return. A Rollover IRA is funded with money from a 401(k) or 403(b) from a previous employer. The tax advantages for which your IRA qualifies depends on the type of IRA account you open. With a Roth IRA, you make contributions to the retirement account post-tax. The money then grows tax-free over time. This means that when you withdraw the money during retirement,...

TL;DR in English: Open a defined contribution plan with your employer. Open a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Open a Roth IRA. Open a Health Spending Account (HSA).

Concealer comes in a variety of shapes and colors, so analyze your skin first to determine what you need. Are you trying to cover up acne? Under eye circles? Scars or birthmarks? Once you determine what you want to conceal, you can choose the appropriate color and shade. Use the color wheel to help you figure out which color corrector to use.  Match the opposite color on the color wheel to cancel it out.  Green tinted concealer is used to reduce redness. Yellow tinted concealer will brighten your face. Lavender concealer can help even out complexions with yellow tones. Orange or red-tinted concealer is used to cover purple or dark spots. For scars or under eye circles, use a concealer 1-2 shades lighter than your natural skin tone. Determine whether your skin tone is warm or cool before picking a shade. Be careful not to get too light of a shade, or your complexion might look ashy. Test skin tone concealer on your face, not on your hands, in order to get a true color match. Make sure that you test your concealer without any other makeup on first. Concealers come in many different forms. There are sticks, potted creams, and pencils. These all offer different types of coverage, and some may be better for certain skin types than others.  If you have large pores and oily skin, you may want to avoid cream or stick concealers, as they may make your pores look bigger. Look for a liquid concealer instead.  Use a pencil concealer for acne, as the pointed edge makes it easier to apply around the acne spots. Thicker, cream concealers are also effective as they can be molded and blended over the blemish.

TL;DR in English:


Draw a stick-figure outline of your character’s body. Outline the general shapes of your character’s body. Connect and refine the general shapes you drew. Erase the stick-figure outline and shapes you drew. Add your anime character’s clothes.

If you're the one filing for divorce, simply include a clause in your petition that you wish to return to your previous name. If your spouse files for divorce, you can file an answer or counterclaim asking to have that clause added to the final decree. At the divorce hearing, the judge will question you about your name change. You'll have to state under oath that you are not changing your name for an improper purpose such as to avoid criminal prosecution. When the judge signs your decree, get certified copies from the clerk's office so you can show them anywhere you need to get your name changed. Complete the application to get a new Social Security card and take it to the local Social Security office along with a certified copy of your divorce decree.  If your marriage was more than two years ago, you'll also need to bring an identity document such as an old driver's license as proof that you previously used the name you want to use now. There is no charge to change your name on your Social Security card. Your new card will be mailed to you once your application is received and processed. Take your old driver's license and a certified copy of your divorce decree to get a driver's license with your new name.  Check the rules in your state concerning other documents you may need to verify the change. Some to most may require your new social security card in addition to the decree. Make note and prepare beforehand to avoid multiple trips. Depending on your state, you may be charged a fee to receive a new driver's license. Once your photo ID and Social Security reflect your new name, you should have no trouble getting it changed elsewhere.  Update the post office, credit card companies, and banks as quickly as possible. This is to avoid any returned payments or refused charges. Notify the post office as soon as you can after receiving the decree so mail in your new name can successfully be routed to your address. This is heavily important concerning the social security card; if the mail gets bounced back to...

TL;DR in English: Indicate in your divorce petition that you want to return to a previous name. Testify at the hearing that you want to return to a previous name. Get certified copies of your divorce decree. Take your divorce decree to your nearest Social Security office. Get your name changed on your driver's license. Use your Social Security card and your driver's license to get your name changed everywhere else.

While it may feel impolite, turning your body away, leaving headphones on, and avoiding eye-contact will signal that you are not in the mood to talk. This may save you from directly telling someone to shut up later on.  Keep working on whatever activity you were doing when they interrupted. Get up and move around, be active, and find little chores to do instead of listening. Saying things like, "I'd like to add something," or "If I could interrupt you for just a moment," will often let someone know that they are talking too much. While people often talk quickly, capitalizing on a breath or a brief moment of silence can break the one-sided flow of discussion.  Signal that you would like to speak by holding up your hands, opening your mouth, or clapping. Anything to break their train of thought and get a chance to talk works. If they ask to finish their thought, don't let them continue to steamroll the conversation; interrupt them once they finish their sentence. This is especially helpful when dealing with someone you talk to frequently. Let the person know that you listened to them and steer the discussion in another direction. Phrases like "I would love to chat, but I'm swamped with work right now," "Today's not a great day to talk, I have a lot of errands," and "I unfortunately can't devote my full attention to you right now," will allow you to easily wiggle out of the conversation later on.  If you don't want to talk, use a generic excuse like "Let's catch up another time," or "Sorry, I'm in a hurry now. I'll see you later!" If you are constantly being talked over, recognize that you must be more direct.

TL;DR in English: Use non-committal body language before the conversation begins. Interrupt them as soon as you can. Lead the conversation. Mention that you don't have a lot of time to talk.

One of the most common and immediate symptoms of smoking is the persistent smokers' cough. It can appear in as little as a few days after beginning smoking and can even be present with casual (not heavy) smoking. The cough is usually the worst in the morning and lessens throughout the day. It is usually accompanied by phlegm which can be clear, yellow, or even green. Smoking causes teeth to turn yellow over time, so be mindful of this if your child's teeth start to look more yellow. Also take notice if your child suddenly becomes interested in teeth whitening products like special whitening toothpaste or whitening strips. While yellowing teeth may take some time to appear, smoking cigarettes can cause yellow stains on your teen's fingers and fingernails almost immediately. A wheezing sound can indicate several different physical conditions in your child, but one of them is damaged airways/lungs from smoking. Shortness of breath is a tell-tale sign of a smoker. If your child is suddenly not able to be active for long periods of time or takes longer to catch their breath after physical activity, you should consider the possibility that they might be smoking. Smokers are more prone to getting certain respiratory diseases like colds, bronchitis, and pneumonia. If your child is suddenly getting sick more frequently with diseases like this, you might need to be concerned that these illnesses are the side effects of a new smoking habit.

TL;DR in English: Watch out for the smokers' cough. Watch for yellowing teeth. Look for yellow stains on your child's fingers. Pay attention if your teen is wheezing. Notice any shortness of breath. Look for a higher frequency of respiratory diseases.

People often store vitamin and supplement tablets in their bathroom cabinets. Research has shown, however, that the humidity of bathrooms can lessen the effectiveness and potency of vitamin tablets over time. The degradation of vitamins in humid conditions is known as deliquescence.  This decreases the quality and shelf-life of the product, and could mean you're not getting all the nutrition you paid for. In addition, opening and closing vitamin and supplement bottles in a humid area traps a little bit of moisture into the bottle each time. Some vitamins might be especially prone to degrade in humid conditions, such as the water soluble vitamin B, vitamin C, thiamine, and vitamin B6. Vitamins and minerals may degrade in quality if you store them in the fridge. There is a lot of moisture inside your fridge, so although it is cool and dark, it is not dry. Only store vitamins and supplements in the fridge if the label specifically tells you to. The kitchen can be a good place to keep your vitamins and supplements, but there can often be moisture and vaporized fat in the air from cooking, which can settle on your pills. The temperature and humidity in the kitchen rises and falls as you use the oven and stovetop.  The kitchen sink is another area that will produce a lot of moisture. Look for a dry cupboard away from the stove and sink if you want to keep them in the kitchen. Your bedroom is perhaps the best place to store supplements, because there are few fluctuations in humidity, and the bedroom is usually cool and dry.  Make sure to keep them away from open windows and sunlight, which will degrade their potency. Don’t keep them near a radiator or any other source of heat.  Always keep them safe and secure, and out of reach of children and pets, even if they are in a childproof container. To help avoid moisture, you can keep your vitamins and supplements in an airtight container. Do not take them out of their original packaging, but put the whole package in the airtight container. An opaque container is good,...

TL;DR in English: Avoid the bathroom cabinet. Don’t keep tablets in the fridge. Don’t keep them near the oven or the sink. Consider keeping vitamins and supplements in the bedroom. Use an airtight container.

Use straight lines for the arms, torso, and legs. Make the arms and torso similar in length, and make the legs about 1/3 longer. Then, draw triangles or ovals for the hands and feet. Make the hands about 1/5 the length of the arm, and make the feet about 1/6 the length of the legs.  To get the proportions right, make your stick-figure outline about 7 times as tall as your character’s head. Have the arm lines start about 1/5 of the way down the line you draw for the torso. Have the stick-figure outline of your character capture whatever pose you want them to be in. For example, if you want your character to be sitting, draw their legs so they're bent. Or, if you want your character to be waving, draw one of their arms so it's bent. Drawing over the stick-figure outline you made, sketch a rough outline of your character’s torso, arms, hips, and legs. Don’t worry about making the outline precise yet. At this point, you just want to represent the different parts of the body with basic shapes.  Draw ovals for the upper and lower arms and legs, and then draw a circle at each joint for the knees and elbows. Proportionally, make your character’s upper and lower arms the same length and size. Make their upper legs thicker than their lower legs. For the torso, draw a quadrilateral (a 4-sided shape) that’s wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Eventually, the wide corners at the top will become your character’s shoulders. To outline the hips, draw an oval over the point where the torso and upper legs meet. Anime characters tend to be tall and thin, but you can experiment with different heights and body shapes! Trace around the outer edges of your character’s body so you have one seamless outline. At this point, start refining the different parts of the body so they look more realistic, like your character’s hands, shoulders, hips, and neck. When you’re finished, you’ll have a full, detailed outline of your character’s body around the more abstract outlines you drew before.  To connect and refine the legs, draw...

Check the title. Check the bill of sale. Consider using any available accident or insurance reports.

Alright, so maybe you're not really in the mood to put in tons of effort. But you are of the practice makes habit sort of mind, so how can you fake it? Start by exclaiming things. Whether it's "Hell yeah!" or "jolly good," or "Well sit me down and call me Sally!" is up to you. The more you react and with pizzazz, the more people will be fooled. Imagine your friend Ted walks into the room. You two make eye contact, give each other a nod, and you say, "Sup." Not even in question form. Just "sup." He responds with, "Yo." Greeting exchanged. Now imagine Ted walks into the room and you say, "HEY, TED! OHMIGOSH I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!" and then you run around to room, arms flailing like the T-Rex you've always wanted to be. Who's enthusiastic now, huh? So an integral part of "HEY, TED! OHMIGOSH I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!" was the running around bit. You can't really sit back in your armchair, eyebrows unmoving, glued to the Discovery channel and exclaim those words with the same effect (well, you could...). So the next time you find yourself thinking, "It would be appropriate to be excited right now," do something with yourself. Jump up and down. Wave your arms like a madman (don't do this in public). Hi-five your grandma (especially if she's the one who wants you to be more energetic). Make a choice and commit to it. You could do a happy dance. You could make a finger gun and pretend you're the Fonz. You could point your thumbs at yourself and talk about how awesome you are. Why don't you try them all out and see what reactions you get? When you're thinking "enthusiasm...enthusiasm," instead try thinking, "bigger." How can you make everything you're doing bigger? Try remembering this: you're not in a movie. There is no camera. You're on a stage where you have to show 1500 people in the 4th balcony that's practically a half mile away of what you're feeling, thinking, and doing. How might your behavior get grander? The next time your roommate walks in and says, "Hey, roomie. I just made cupcakes!" you're not going to...

The knife you decide to obtain depends on the use you will be putting it towards.  For instance, if you are grating vegetables, the knife you use should differ from one that is best suited to slicing or chopping.  Paring knives are good for small, short, and precise tasks like peeling or trimming off vegetable skin.  Serrated knives are good for slicing veggies.  They have scalloped edges and should give you a smooth, clean slice. A chef’s knife can be used for many purposes, but is best when working with large produce like spaghetti squash or pumpkin. Glass canning jars (Mason jars, especially) are the most common container for lacto-fermentation.  These jars have metal lids and seal tightly to keep the fermentation process simple. While it is not absolutely necessary to keep your veggies completely submerged during the lacto-fermentation process, doing so will encourage probiotic growth and prevent mold.  To accomplish this, you will need to add a small weight to the glass canning jar to press down on whatever you’re fermenting.  The weight should have the same (or nearly the same) diameter of the jar you’re using.  The best weights will be of dense but thin glass.  This way, they will consume a minimal amount of room inside the glass canning jar. Avoid using limestone weights, as they can dissolve in the acidic environment of the glass canning jar.  Do not use wooden weights, as they will expand in the aqueous environment. If you intend to ferment sauerkraut or other veggies that ferment in their own juices, you’ll need a pounding tool (sometimes called a tamper) to break the vegetables apart and compress them in the glass canning jar.  You might have such an object at home – a rolling pin with one handle removed works well – or you could buy a product specifically designed to compact veggies for lacto-fermentation.

TL;DR in English: Obtain a knife that meets your needs. Get a glass canning jar. Get some weights. Get a pounding tool.

You can reproduce these over and over again in a "factory" manner, getting an almost perfect, if not exact, duplicate.  "CNC" stands for Computer Numerical Control. The specs of your replica would be loaded into a computer processor, which would then guide the cutting. You can buy these machines in a variety of models and makes. Some use a laser to do the cutting, others use cutting tools or even plasma cutters. Most machines of this kind cost upwards of $60,0000 so turning your carving over to a professional (also called a milliner) for mass duplication on one of these machines is probably your best bet. One advantage to the CNC machine is you are not limited in materials. You can make metal, plastic or even stone duplicates of you source object.

TL;DR in English: These will produce technically exact duplicates.

Sometimes it's the price tag; other times, it's a matter of room size or departure times that are less than ideal. Whatever the issue happens to be, encourage your client to be candid with their thoughts and do your best to appease them by emphasizing the aspects they like and downplaying the ones they don't. Uncertainty is often just the result of last-minute nerves.  Be flexible. If there's something you can change about a package to make it more agreeable, offer to do it. Try not to treat your client's concerns as insignificant. This won't help you sell more packages—it will just show that you're placing your own interests ahead of theirs. Typically, the longer the client takes to weigh their decision, the less likely they are to book. Prevent them from backing out by capitalizing on an opening to sign them up while they're still excited about what they've heard. That way, they won't have a chance to talk themselves out of it.  When a client is on the fence, giving them a heads up about how fast available bookings are being snatched up may give them the motivation they need to commit. You don't want your client to feel pressured, but you also don't want them to wait so long that they lose interest. If they tell you they need some time to think, ask them to get in touch with you the following day. Shortly after you hang up the phone or show your client out, send them an email thanking them for their interest. Invite them to contact you if they have any more questions about the package they've chosen or the booking process in general. This is a small gesture that can make a big difference when it comes to making a client feel special.  Setting a friendly tone to your correspondence can increase the likelihood of the client coming back to you for future trips. Be sure to include all your important contact info in the signature of your email, including the email and phone number where you can be reached most reliably, a link to your professional website, and any related social media accounts.

TL;DR in English: Redirect the client's attention away from last-minute doubts. Offer to help book a reservation right away. Follow up with a courtesy email.

If you are either the current owner and trying to find the person who sold you the car, or if you recently sold it and you are trying to find the new owner, you should have some paperwork that will help. As part of selling a car, the Certificate of Title should contain information that identifies both the seller and buyer of the car. If you kept a copy of this document (you should!), then you may be able to find the information you need quite easily. Another document that should be part of a vehicle sale is the bill of sale. In some states, the bill of sale is optional, and in some it is required. This would identify both the owner and seller. The bill of sale is not generally recorded with the registry. It is simply one of the documents that you may have kept if you were a party to the previous sale, and it might help you out in tracking down the buyer's name. If the car is one that you previously owned, and you are looking for a current owner, you may be able to dig up old records of any accident or insurance claims you may have filed in the past. These records, if you’re lucky, would probably contain the car’s VIN, which you can then search online. Contact your insurance company for help locating any insurance related documents. If you don't have the records yourself, their record system may include information that can help you.

Geeks and nerds may share similar outward traits — or not — but when you compare their approach to life, the differences become apparent.  Nerds love to use jargon or unfamiliar terminology in their dialogue, whereas geeks will use obscure references rarely.  For example, a nerd might say, "That's an overused Foley. The SD must be lazy." The geek would say of the same thing, "Oh! I love how Percy Jackson uses the Wilhelm Scream in every movie!"   Geeks often take interest in the microcosmic details of life, such as noticing that your present situation is much like one from a news article or a novel. Nerds will be seemingly uninterested in the details of daily life, being more focused on the macroscopic, such as scientific possibilities and the future of humankind. You will know them by how they play.  A geek may enjoy board games, film (and may follow directors, composers, or key grips obsessively), tech gadgets, hacking, and techno music. A nerd enjoys solitary pursuits like programming and Second life, or games like chess and go. While they both have obsessive traits about their passions, they diverge when it comes to normal human interactions.  A geek has more normal social skills, though they can be prone to being pretentious and long-winded, especially when the topic happens to land on their particular passion. Then, they may not let you go until they've explained exactly how this widget works, and the history of the team that created it. A nerd is generally more introverted. They may know a great deal about exactly the same thing a geek specializes in, but getting them to talk about it can take some doing. It's a universal truism that geeks can fall for anybody (though the reverse may not be true). However, most nerds fall only for nerds. This may be a survival tactic, but nobody knows for sure. While nerds and geeks are both intelligent and educated, there are some career paths that appeal only to one or the other:  In addition to populating IT departments the world over, you can find geeks in artistic...

This might seem like a strange suggestion, but swallowed air is one of the biggest causes of bloating, which contributes to a rounder midsection. Simply reducing the amount of air you swallow throughout the day can trim down your tummy measurements.  Avoid carbonated beverages, even those with zero calories like carbonated water. Beverages with air in them fill your abdomen with air, which causes a bloated appearance. Avoid smoking. Smokers who inhale smoke also tend to swallow it, which bloats their stomachs. Avoid chewing gum and talking while eating. Both of these habits lead to swallowed air. Changing the way you carry yourself and sit won't make stomach fat disappear, but it will make you look slimmer by helping your body fat distribute properly across the torso rather than gathering at the midsection. Try to keep your upper body straight, your shoulders pulled back, and your head high.  When you sit, your buttocks should touch the back of your chair, and all three normal back curves should be present in your back (meaning a small towel or washcloth rolled up should fit above your buttocks).  When you stand, keep your shoulders back, pull in your stomach, and keep your feet about a hip-width apart.  If you're willing to do a little exercise, movements that strengthen your core and back can make it easier to maintain your posture while tightening up the muscles around your midsection. Try adding a few light crunches and easy back exercises to your schedule as you improve your posture. Sleeping doesn't burn fat on its own, but it is a crucial part of weight loss efforts. This is mainly because sleep deprivation (not getting enough sleep) makes most aspects of weight loss more difficult. When you aren't well-rested, it's hard to motivate yourself to get up and move. It's also hard to control cravings: you're more likely to act on impulses to eat junk food when you're already drained of energy. While everyone's sleep needs are different, the majority of adults need about seven to nine hours per night....

TL;DR in English: Avoid swallowing air. Practice good posture. Get enough sleep. Find a fitness-positive support network. Start tracking your weight.

Wet your hands, then apply soap. Work the soap into a lather for at least 20 seconds, then rinse away the soap. The cold virus is easily spread through touch, but washing your hands can remove the germs. Use your towel to open doors after you wash your hands, and use antibacterial wet wipes as necessary. Wash your hands thoroughly after you:  Ride the subway, bus, or train Go to the grocery store or any other highly-trafficked store Go to school or work Go to a public restroom Use gym equipment Touching banisters and elevator buttons is unavoidable, but you can avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Touching these parts of your face makes it easy for the cold or flu to get into your system. Don't rub your eyes, wipe your nose or lick your fingers before you get a chance to wash your hands with warm water and soap.  Antibacterial gel and wipes are handy to have around for when there's not a facility nearby to wash your hands. It's also a good idea to use your sleeve to cover your hands when you must touch items like banisters and elevator buttons. If you must wipe your nose or touch your face, cover your hand with a tissue - or worst case, a sleeve - to avoid transmitting germs directly from your fingers to your face. During cold and flu season, it's best to turn down offers to share food and drinks. Coming into contact with someone else's saliva or mucus is a sure way to catch whatever virus they might be incubating. Use your own utensils and get your own cup instead of sharing with someone else. If you or someone you know is sick, it's best to use disposable cups while contagious. The germs can linger on a cup even after it's washed, especially if it's hand washed. Maybe it's obvious that you shouldn't use someone else's toothbrush, but there are other personal items you should also avoid sharing. Don't use someone's razor, nail clippers and other items that come into contact with their bodily fluids. While germs might not survive on these items for long, it's not worth the risk. The same goes for sharing...

TL;DR in English: Wash your hands with warm water and soap. Don't touch your eyes, nose and mouth before washing. Don't share food and drinks with others. Avoid sharing personal items. Try to stay away from people who are sick. Get a flu shot.

There are two small terminals sticking out of the face of a starter solenoid.  One is the 12 volt positive (top) that comes from the battery.  When the starter solenoid is activated, it connects the lower terminal to the upper one internally, engaging the starter motor.  There should be continuous power going to the top solenoid terminal. Press the red lead from the test light onto the top terminal and hold it in place. The black lead from the test light must be connected to a grounded surface in order to complete the circuit and test the power passing through it.  Any part of the body of the vehicle will suffice as a ground, provided it is bare metal.  You can touch the black lead to any bare metal on the body of the vehicle. You may also touch it to the negative terminal on the battery. If the light comes on when you have the test light touching the top terminal on the starter solenoid and the other lead grounded, it means there is electricity coming from the battery to the starter solenoid itself.  This means there could be an issue with the solenoid, rather than simply a dead battery. Once you have confirmed that there is power going to the solenoid, you can test if the solenoid is transferring it properly. Now that you have confirmed that there is power going into the solenoid, the next step is to determine whether or not the solenoid is transferring the power properly.  Place the red lead on the lower terminal that should only have power when the vehicle is starting.  Hold the lead in place on the lower terminal. Keep the black lead grounded. While you hold the two leads in place, ask a friend to turn the ignition.  This should make the solenoid bridge the connections internally and send electricity to the lower terminal on the solenoid.  Be careful not to get your hands or clothes in the way of any engine components that may move if the vehicle starts. Do not allow the test light wiring to hang into the area around the belts. If the test light comes on, it means the solenoid is transferring power from...

Make sure you have a doctor's appointment.

Go to the bathroom. Vomit. Rest. Visit your doctor.

If there is a dispute between the two parties, then they may end up in court. However, you can also choose ahead of time to resolve your dispute using mediation. You should include an agreement to mediate in the purchase and sale agreement. Sample language could read: “Any dispute arising out of, or relating to, this agreement will be submitted to a private mediation service. Any cost of mediation will be shared equally between Seller and Purchaser.” The offer to sell doesn't last indefinitely. Instead, there is usually a deadline for acceptance. There is also a deadline for closing. You should include these dates in your purchase and sale agreement.  For example, you could write: “This offer is void if not accepted by Seller in writing on or before [insert time and date]. Closing of the sale shall take place [insert number of days] after Purchaser’s receipt of an abstract showing marketable title in Seller or title insurance binder showing insurable title in Seller. This offer is made at [location] this [insert date].”  Insert a signature line for the purchaser beneath this statement. You also need a provision where the seller explicitly states that it agrees to the contract. If the seller needs to pay a brokerage fee, then include that information here. Sample language could read: “The foregoing offer to purchase real estate is hereby accepted in accordance with the terms and conditions specified above. The undersigned hereby agrees to pay a brokerage fee of [insert fee amount] to [insert name of the broker] in accordance with the existing listing contract.” Then insert the date and a line for the seller's signature. This article describes a basic purchase and sale agreement. Your needs may vary. To understand if anything is missing, you should show your draft to a qualified real estate attorney.  You can find a real estate attorney by contacting your local or state bar association and getting a referral. Once you have the name of someone, call and schedule a meeting. Ask ahead of time how much the attorney charges.

TL;DR in English: Include a dispute resolution clause. Identify the time for acceptance and closing. Add the acceptance by seller. Show your draft agreement to an attorney.

The best thing to do before you construct your own blues music is listen to the blues. Simply listening gives you a basic understanding of the structure, emotion, and overall sound. Take some time to relax and listen to a handful of different artists, jotting down notes when you hear something you feel inspired by. A few classic songs you can listen to include “Memphis Blues” by W.C. Handy, “Crazy Blues” by Mamie Smith, “Pine Top Boogie” by Pine Top Smith, “Dust my Broom” by Elmore James, and “Boogie Chillun” by John Lee Hooker. Get a pen and paper and start making a list of every concept, perspective, or potential lyric that pops into your head. Remember that blues music is raw and full of emotion, so let yourself feel every thought that comes to mind. Allow these ideas to guide and inspire the content of your song as you move forward.  The key here is not getting tied up in perfection. This is just creative brainstorming meant to get ideas flowing that will later lead to your perfect song. Let ideas brew for a while. Bring a notepad with you wherever you go so that if you feel inspired, you can capture the thought on paper regardless of whether you’re in a meeting, at the gym, or cooking a meal. After you’ve spent time brainstorming ideas, choose your favorite topic to start constructing your song. It should be something you feel passionate about and can relate to in some way or another. You want your music to feel and sound believable. Some common blues topics include love sickness & heartache, gambling, depression, discrimination, good times, religion, and superstition. Blues music has a three-line verse structure where the second line repeats the first - A A B. In the first line state the problem. In the second line you repeat the first line. In the third line state the solution (or consequence). In the fourth line, state the second half of the solution (or consequence.) The third and fourth line can be written separately or in one line depending on your preference.  For example, “I went to the river,...

TL;DR in English: Familiarize yourself with iconic blues music. Brainstorm. Choose your topic. Establish your meter. Make your lyrics flow. Make your lyrics rhyme. Finish writing your song. Revise, revise, revise.

Take a book or something to take your mind off the pain. Unfortunately, you may just have to wait. Sometimes, the pain is not going to go away until you throw up. Be ready as soon as your stomach cramps begin, but only induce vomiting if the pain has not stopped within 2-3 hours.  Though it won't be your most fashionable accessory, keep a bucket or other container nearby. You'll be grateful you don't need to run to the bathroom. If you still have pain in 5-6 hours after vomiting a few times and eating something, call your doctor. Take your temperature and monitor your other symptoms, too. Though motion sickness is a very specific thing, once you're already sick, motion does you absolutely zero favors. Lie down and get comfortable. If that's not an option, stay as motionless as possible. This goes for babies and children, too. All ages will benefit from outside stability when the same can't be said for the insides. If the problem persists, your upset stomach is just a symptom of a grander issue. If you experience nausea for an extended period of time in addition to other symptoms like pain, trouble walking, and rashes, call a doctor immediately. Most upset stomachs resolve themselves within a few hours. If yours persists, look for other symptoms. If they are present, you may want to consider a doctor visit.

TL;DR in English:


Have guests play party games. Set up a karaoke machine for a night of karaoke fun. Set aside different areas for different activities.

The news often features negative or scary stories because those are the ones that stand out. They're more remembered than positive events. Avoiding the news can help you shake off these fears. Take some time to determine what it is that is scaring you.  A lot of time people know exactly what is scaring them, but others are unclear what the root of their fear is. Try writing out a list of thoughts that are troubling you. Relaxing your mood is an important step into reaching a more peaceful state. Hysterical moods are not healthy and can even further your state of fear. A good way to calm yourself is to take deep breaths.  You'll want to be calm in order to better face what is scaring you. Write out a few questions, reflect on them, and try to fill in a response.  Try these questions:  What am I afraid of? Is this realistic? What is the worst that could happen? Where do I feel fear in my body? If you have a tangible fear like a character from a horror movie, a spider, or whatnot, try drawing it.  You can print out an image from the internet and try to draw it.  Spending a prolonged period of time with your phobia will help you get past feeling afraid of it. Avoiding what is scaring you can take on a worse outcome than your initial feelings of fear. Before seeking outside help, stand up to your fear and welcome it.  It will be challenging, but doing this could help you place things into perspective. Dealing with your fear can take a long time to truly overcome, but with persistent work, you can overcome it. Rely on a simple set of exercises to solve your issue: patience, persistence, education, and being committed. If you find these thoughts to persist you may need extra help from a professional. Some fears aren't caused by a scary movie, but rather caused from an unknown source about something irrational. This type of fear is better treated with medicine or support from a therapist.

TL;DR in English: Limit your intake of negative news. Examine what's scaring you. Take deep breaths. Ask yourself questions. Draw what's scaring you. Expose yourself. Be patient. Seek professional help.

To make a cake model, you will need:  Cake mix, as well as the ingredients to make the mix Vanilla icing Food coloring of choice Various candies to represent the organelles, such as blue Mike and Ikes, pink Mike and Ikes, War Heads, Air Heads, sour gummy worms and sprinkles Toothpicks Labels Use a round cake pan for an animal cell and a rectangular shaped cake pan for a plant cell.  Follow the instructions on the package to bake the cake. You can also set aside a little of the batter to make one cupcake to represent the nucleus. Let the cake cool completely and then remove it from the pan. Place it on the cake board. You can also make 2 9 in (23 cm) cakes to layer on top of each other if you'd prefer a taller cell model. Dye the vanilla icing with the food dye, based on the color(s) you'd like to use to represent the cell components.  One option is to make separate colored icings to represent the different layers of the cell. For example, to make an animal cell, you could use yellow icing to represent the cytoplasm and red icing on the cupcake representing the nucleus.  If you are making a plant cell, you can make colored icing to distinguish the cell wall and spread it on the sides of the cake. It may be helpful to have a printout or image of the cell to identify the cell components as you place them on the cake. An example of good candies to use as components of an animal cell include:  Pink Mike and Ikes for the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Blue Mike and Ikes for the mitochondria. Disc sprinkles for the ribosomes. Airheads for the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Sour gummy worms for the Golgi apparatus. Warheads for the vacuoles. Type up the labels on a computer. Cut out each label and attach them to the toothpicks with tape before placing them on the cake next to the applicable cell component. Take pictures of the cake model, and then eat it!

TL;DR in English: Gather your ingredients. Make the cake in a pan, based on the type of cell you are making. Ice the cake. Place the candies on the cake to represent the organelle. Stick toothpicks in the cake with labels for each part of the cell.

Keep a notebook with you at all times, or use your phone to write down rhymes, and try to write at least 10 rhymes a day. At the end of the week, go back through the rhymes you wrote and pick out the best ones to create a "Best of the Week" list, which you might use to start a song. Cut out the wack lines and corny stuff and only keep the best. At the end of the week, you might only end up with a couple of lines. That's ok. That's good. When you're first starting out, you're going to write a lot of crappy lyrics. There's no way around it. It takes work and lots of effort to create songs that anyone will want to listen to. A rhyme cluster is a group of short lines and words that are all interchangeable with each other. So, any lines with words like "wack" "sack" "jack" "backpack" and "Aflac" could all be in the same cluster. Start building an encyclopedia of rhymes that you can start to memorize, and consult when you're writing songs or free styling. . After a couple of weeks of writing lines, you should start having a good store of them built up. Add a couple together, move them around, and start thinking about how you might build a song. Write more lines to fill in the gaps and put it all together.   Story songs usually have a hard-luck element to them in classic hip-hop. Stories need to address the Who, What, and When elements to paint a vivid picture of the scene or the event you're describing. Raekwon and Freddie Gibbs are great story-telling rappers.  Boast raps feature lots of one-liners. Look no further than Lil Wayne for the self-crowned king of bragging in rhyme. Use lots of similes and metaphors to compare yourself to all manner of greatness.  Pop rap or trap is all about the chorus. Chief Keef's rhymes may be super terrible, but he's got an ear for a killer hook. Aim for a simple line or two that slides right into the beat. "Don't Like" and "Sosa" have simple ear-worm choruses that get stuck in your head for weeks. Ditto Soulja Boy's "Crank That." For more classic examples, think of Wu-Tang's...

TL;DR in English: Write lots of rhymes. Keep "rhyme clusters" in your notebook. Hammer your lyrics into songs Try to freestyle Take your time.

There are many species to choose from, but some are easier to see and produce brighter flashes than others. Starter cultures are available from online vendors and usually cost about $25.00.seafarms.com and carolina.com are excellent online sources for starter cultures or kits.  Pyrocystis Fusiformis dinoflagellates are so large that the individual cells can be seen with the naked eye, and they are the hardiest and easiest type to grow. Pyrosystis Noctiluca are beautiful, but it is trickier to provide them with the right conditions they need to flourish. Pyrosystis Lunula tend to stick to the sides of the containers, and are more difficult to grow than other types of algae. Algae need plenty of light and nutrients to multiply in the ocean, and they need the same conditions to flourish at home.  Buy a nutrient solution or algae growth solution. Find a natural solution made with real seawater rather than choosing a synthetic solution, which won't be as conducive to growth. Growth solutions are available online or at aquatic supply stores. Choose a clear, lidded container, either glass or plastic, in which to grow your dinoflagellates. It's important that the container be clear to let in a maximum amount of light. Consider buying a plant grow lamp so you'll be able to control the algal light exposure. These can be purchased at plant supply or hardware stores. A regular 40-watt light bulb in a household lamp will also work. A closet might be a good option since you'll be able to control the light, but choosing a dark place isn't absolutely necessary. It's fine for algae to get natural sunlight during the day.  Make sure the place you choose always remains at a moderate temperature. Cold or hot temperatures could prevent the algae from growing. The optimal temperature range for growing algae is between 68 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit (22 - 25 degrees Celsius).

TL;DR in English: Choose a type of bioluminescence dinoflagellate. Buy other materials to create the proper conditions for growth. Find a place in  your house to grow the algae.

You can add fun to your house party by having party games for your guests to play. Lawn games like cornhole, croquet, and volleyball are great games to have available for party guests to play. Having a ping pong, foosball, or pool table are also great additions to a house party. There are many party card games you can buy as well to have out for your guests to enjoy playing. A great activity to have at your house party is karaoke. Party guests will have fun singing songs and dancing to the music. The great thing about karaoke is it provides music as well as fun! You can rent a karaoke machine at a party rental company or you can use an app on your phone for karaoke. If you’re going to have multiple activities you need to make sure there is a separate space for each. You want enough space for your guests to easily participate in the activity. You can have some activities outside on a porch or in a yard, and others can be inside in the living room or a basement.

TL;DR in English:


Learn to interpret your dog's posture. Identify playful and affectionate behavior. Interpret discomfort or unease. Recognize warning signs of aggression.

. Locate the petcock on the bottom corner of the radiator and open it with a container beneath it to catch the draining coolant and water. You may also want to disconnect the bottom hose going into the radiator to drain it. Close the petcock and reconnect the hose once it’s done draining.  Add a 50/50 mixture of water and coolant to the radiator and it reaches the full line on the reservoir. Make sure to use the correct kind of coolant for your vehicle. If you are unsure, you can find that information in the owner’s manual or on the manufacturer’s website. Some newer vehicles have different interval requirements for oil changes, but if you’re unsure, 3,000 miles is a good rule of thumb. Slide a container beneath the vehicle’s oil pan, then locate and remove the oil drain plug (the only bolt in the bottom of the pan). Allow it to drain completely, then reinsert the drain plug.  Unscrew the old oil filter and screw on a new one in its place. Then refill the engine with the correct amount and type of oil, which can be found in the vehicle’s owner’s manual or on the manufacturer’s website.

TL;DR in English: Drain and replace the coolant Change your oil every 3,000 miles (or as directed).

New and unique experiences enrich people's lives and help them feel happier overall. Whenever possible, spend your free time trying new things, going new places, and experiencing life.  If you have a little money set aside to treat yourself, consider investing in an experience, like a vacation, instead of an object. The experience will leave you with great memories that you can look back on for the rest of your life, which will increase your happiness. Don't feel like you always need to have someone with you to enjoy these experiences. As a single person, you can choose to have adventures with friends and family or alone. Volunteering for a worthy cause greatly increases people's sense of self-worth and fulfillment. Look for an organization in your area that has a mission you believe in and find out how you can help. As a bonus, you may also meet new friends who also care about the cause. If you don't have the time to commit to ongoing volunteer work, there are plenty of short-term volunteer opportunities out there. Even a few hours of volunteering is meaningful. Many people find that exercise increases their happiness and makes them feel better about themselves. Try finding a type of exercise that you enjoy, whether it's playing a team sport or going for walks. It's fine to spend time at home alone, as long as you don't become bored and isolated. To avoid this, use your alone time to cultivate your creative interests or learn new things.  Try taking an online class or developing a new hobby, like painting or sewing. Avoid watching too much television, as this can become a stand-in for social relationships.

TL;DR in English: Focus on experiences. Try volunteering. Enjoy physical activity. Spend alone time constructively.

The majority of dog bites will be minor wounds you can treat at home. If the bite barely broke the skin or the teeth dragged to form a shallow scratch, then you can treat the wound at home. This differs from a wound where the tissue is deeply punctured, torn, or joints/bones have been crushed. Always seek medical attention for these wounds, which are covered more in Method Two. Spend several minutes washing the bite with plenty of soap and water at a comfortable temperature. This helps clean the wound of any germs around your wound or that came from the dog’s mouth.  Any soap is fine, but an antibacterial soap is best if you have some in your home. The soap and water might sting the site of the bite, but it’s still a much better idea to wash the area thoroughly. Use a clean towel or gauze to apply pressure to the bite if it is still bleeding after washing it. The bleeding should stop or slow enough to bandage the wound within several minutes. If the wound continues bleeding too much to bandage it after fifteen minutes of pressure, then you should seek medical attention. Antibiotic creams such as Neosporin or Bacitracin can also help prevent infections as the wound heals. Apply the cream to the wound as directed on the packaging. As soon as you apply the antibiotic ointment, bandage or dress the wound appropriately. Apply with enough pressure to help protect the injury, but do not apply with so much pressure as to affect circulation or lead to discomfort. You should change the bandage on the bite each time you soil it, such as when showering. Wash the bite again gently, reapply the antibiotic cream, and apply a fresh bandage. Tetanus is a potential infection that can stem from any dog bite that breaks the skin. Medical professionals recommend a tetanus booster after a dog bite if your last immunization was five or more years ago. Watch for signs of other infection as the bite heals. If you think the bite is becoming infected, then see a doctor immediately. Signs that an infection might be developing in the...

TL;DR in English: Examine the bite. Wash the bite thoroughly with soap and water. Apply pressure if the wound is bleeding. Apply an antibiotic ointment. Bandage the bite. Change the bandage as necessary. Update your immunizations. Keep an eye on the bite. Determine the rabies vaccine status of the dog, if possible. Seek medical attention for other health-related complications.

The ways in which a dog holds its body can tell you a great deal about its mood and emotions. Many of the signals will be subtle and it can take some time to learn all of its expressions but it is well worth the effort. Dogs communicate easy confidence and a desire to play through posture and body signals.  Confident stance: A dog that is feeling confident will stand tall, have its tail up and probably wagging slowly, its ears will either be pricked up or relaxed, and it will generally look relaxed. Its eyes will have smaller pupils as they are also relaxed. Bowing: Facing you and with head and chest dipped low to the ground, front legs splayed out, and with rear end and tail up is a clear invitation to play. This is known as the "play bow". It can be mistaken by owners as an attack stance but it clearly denotes playtime. Hip swings: Hip swings or nudges are another sign of play.This involves the dog swinging around another dog and knocking them to the ground using the backside (the end of the dog without teeth!).  When the dog's rear is presented to you, it is an indication of trust and depending on your dog, it might mean your dog wants a scratch. Wiggling its rear end is a sign of excitement and friendliness.  If a dog is stretching with his butt in the air, front legs and paws stretched out in front, and head close to the ground, he is probably feeling playful. If your dog raises his/her paw to touch your knee or another part of your body, the dog wants to get attention, make a request or ask for something, or indicate a wish to play. The gesture begins as a puppy with kneading associated with obtaining mother's milk but becomes similar to that of offering a hand for a handshake – it's about connecting and friendship. Repeatedly pawing at the air is often used by puppies as an invitation to play. If a dog’s tail is in a neutral (level with body or slightly lower, he is most likely feeling secure and friendly.  If your dog’s tail is fiercely wagging and his/her tail up, he/she is feeling mischievous and...
