Meet your hamster’s basic needs. Provide your hamster with a large cage. Outfit your hamster enclosure with all of the necessary trappings. Put the cage in a quiet room.

If you are eating ramen or a large bowl that is difficult to pick up, then you can just use your non-dominant hand to support the bowl and tip it towards you slightly as needed. However, if the bowl is small enough to pick up, then you can pick up your bowl with your non-dominant hand and eat it with the spoon in your other hand. Make sure that you eat the soup while it is still hot. It is important to eat your soup while it is too hot. Do not wait to let it cool down or blow on your soup. You can slurp it to help cool it off as you eat. It is okay to use chopsticks while eating soup, but make sure that you use them for larger pieces of food in your dish, such as noodles, dumplings, meat, and veggies.  Don’t mix the soup around with your chopsticks. This is considered rude. Don’t stick your chopsticks into the bowl from the top. This can remind Chinese people of funerals. Don’t play with your chopsticks or wave them around while you are talking. Don’t lay your chopsticks across the top of your bowl when you are done. Put them in the bowl at an angle. A flat bottomed spoon will be provided along with your soup. Use this to drink the broth and smaller pieces of food in your soup. When you are finished eating, place the spoon in the bowl. If your soup contains long noodles, such as a ramen, then you can slurp it. Sucking in air by slurping up the noodles will help to cool down the soup and it is also considered polite to eat your soup this way.  Keep in mind that if you eat your soup in silence, then the chef may be offended. It is okay to slurp your food and even burp at the dinner table in most Asian cultures.  How quickly you should eat depends on the setting. For example, if you are eating a meal in someone’s home, then wolfing down your food is not necessary and may even be considered rude. However, if you are eating in a ramen shop or other street food vendor, then eating quickly and loudly is appropriate.

TL;DR in English: Tip the bowl towards you or pick it up. Use chopsticks to pick up noodles, dumplings, meat, and veggies. Use the spoon to drink the broth. Slurp your soup.

If you don’t know how wills and estates work, you may need to learn some key vocabulary. It’s not necessary to become a legal expert overnight, but you should familiarize yourself with the following terms:   Estate – everything that the deceased person owned, consisting of both real and personal property  Real property – land, buildings, and other permanently fixed items belonging to the deceased  Personal property – movable assets (furniture, clothing, jewelry, etc.) belonging to the deceased  Petition – a formal written request asking the court to oversee the distribution of the estate  Executor or Personal Representative – a person appointed by an individual to administer their estate after death; if you are seeking to probate a will, you probably have been named as the executor of the estate in the deceased person’s will  Administrator – a person appointed by the court to oversee the affairs of an estate if someone dies intestate, or without a legal will  Heir – a person named in a will who is to receive part of a deceased person’s estate  Creditor – a person to whom a deceased person owes a debt  Decedent – the deceased person, or the person who wrote the will This role carries a great deal of responsibility and legal liability. An executor is responsible not only for overseeing the estate, but also for finding and protecting assets belonging to the estate.  A person typically is named as an executor in a will. The testator, or person making the will, names the executor as the person that they want to administer their estate after death. In some cases, a will designates two people to act as co-executors of the estate. A will also may provide for a secondary, or back-up, executor, just in case the first person who is named executor is deceased or otherwise unavailable or unwilling to act as executor. Probate proceedings can be complex, particularly if someone challenges the will or your role as executor of the will. Some states or counties have probate forms that you can fill out on your own, but other...

TL;DR in English: Learn some basic terminology. Understand the role of an executor. Consider hiring an attorney. Get multiple copies of the death certificate. File a petition for probate. Notify interested parties of the probate petition. Publish a notice in the newspaper. Schedule a probate hearing.

Go right up to him and introduce yourself if he doesn’t know who you are yet.  Say: “Hi, I’m (your name),” then “And you are?” or “Who are you?” if you want to be a bit more playful and brazen. Repeat his name to help you remember it and let him know you are attentive: “Hey, Ryan, it’s really nice to meet you,” or “Oh, Sergio, I love that name!” You go to the same school so you have plenty in common to keep it from being awkward. You can break the ice by referencing how you’ve noticed him: “I see you walk past my gym class every day and I wanted to put a name to the face!” Start talking to him on Facebook or other social media. If you have the same lunch period, talk to him in line or, if you already know each other, sit at his table. If you have a class together, sit near him so you can talk easily or ask him a question about the subject. Get to know his friends so there might be an opportunity to hang out outside of school. Ask him questions and listen. If you don’t know each other very well yet, keep it simple with questions like “How was your day?” or “What do you like to do on the weekends?” Find out if he plays a sport, what kind of music he likes, what he likes to do in his free time.  You don’t have to interview him or blast him with questions, but make sure you’re not just talking about yourself, which is easy to do. Find ways to show him that you remember what he’s told you. Wish him luck on his game or ask him if he’s listened to his favorite band’s new album. Don’t pry into personal details like his religion or family dynamic too soon, keep it light and playful. Find out what you have in common and let the conversation develop naturally. If you’re struggling to start a conversation, try making a comment that ends in a question.  “I saw the basketball team got new uniforms, do you like them?” or “It looks like it’s gonna rain, doesn't it?”

TL;DR in English: Talk to him. Find casual ways to be around him. Get to know him.

The foundation of a happy hamster is a hamster whose basic needs are met. Without basic needs like food, healthcare, and a good home, your hamster will not be happy. Make sure to:  Provide good and fresh food. Consider making your own fresh hamster food out of leafy greens, carrots, and other vegetables. Take your hamster to the vet if he or she is ill. Provide chew toys. A rodent's teeth keep growing for life, so they will need some wooden toys to chew on. Teeth that are too long can stop them from eating and kill them. Make sure your hamster’s cage is located in a space that is heated, cooled, and has a constant temperature. An optimal temperature for hamsters range between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid temperatures below 60 and above 90 degrees. Since your hamster will spend most of his or her life in your cage or container, make sure that the cage is spacious enough so your hamster can move around, exercise, and explore as much as he or she wants. Ultimately, if you coup your hamster up in a tiny enclosure, he or she won’t be happy.  Your cage should be a minimum of 2 square feet. Ultimately, though, an enclosure twice this size would be good. Avoid small glass aquariums. The more hamsters you have co-habituating, the larger your enclosure should be. Ultimately, a happy hamster needs a happy and interesting environment. If your hamster is wanting for basic items, he or she will not be happy. Make sure to include:  Wood shavings or a similar substance to blanket the floor of the cage. Hamsters like to burrow, so make sure there are some areas where the shavings are deep. Avoid cedar or pine wood shavings, as they might be toxic to hamsters. Soft bedding. Make sure there are a couple of areas where you provide your hamster with soft bedding. This could be an old towel, part of an old t-shirt or something similar. A water bottle. A food dish. Make sure to put your hamster’s cage in a safe and quiet area. Hamsters, like people or other animals, need a safe and quiet area so they can live without anxiety...

Much of your communication is done through body language. Be conscious before, during, and after your interview, to maintain strong body language that will help you make a positive, lasting impression on your interviewer.  Practice good posture by keeping your shoulders back, your back straight, and your chin up.  Don't keep anything in your lap like a briefcase or purse. Keep your hands and arms steady, and free of objects that you may subconsciously play with during your interview. First impressions go a long way, and one way to make a great one, is by greeting your interviewer with a handshake. This will show you are a confident, welcoming person. Practice your handshake with a friend to make sure it is not too soft, or aggressive. After your interview is over, follow up with your interviewer to show your appreciation, and once again, highlight why you are a strong candidate. You can send an email, or a card in the mail. However you chose to send it, be sure to do it within the next day.

TL;DR in English: Display confident body language. Greet with a firm handshake. Send a thank you note.

Mix 3 parts of liquid oil and 1 part beeswax in a Pyrex measuring cup or heatproof canning jar. Set the jar in a pan with a few inches of water and slowly heat the water until it all melts together. Add a few drops of essential oil and mix it. Then pour the balm into tubes or tins and let set until completely cool.  Good choices for your liquid oil include castor oil, avocado oil, olive oil, and coconut oil. Castor oil will make her lips feel really smooth, so it’s great if she’s got chapped lips. You can safely add peppermint, spearmint, sweet orange, lemon, lime, and vanilla absolute essential oils for both scent and taste. Just pick your mom’s favorite! If she likes to take luxurious baths, make her custom bath salts. Pour 2 cups (16 ounces) of Epsom salt into an airtight container. Then add a few drops of essential oil and close the lid. Shake the container until the oil has completely coated the salt.  Choose your oils based on what you want the salts to do for your mom. Peppermint and lavender are good for stress relief and citrus is energizing. You can also choose your scents based on what your mom’s favorites are. You can also add a few drops of food coloring to color the salts. This is an especially good idea if you plan on storing the salts in a clear container. Nothing feels more pampering than good hand or foot lotion. Heat 1/4 cup (2 ounces) coconut oil, 1/8 cup (1 ounce) shea butter, and 1/8 cup cocoa butter over low heat until it melts together. Remove the pot from the heat, and then add 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) (0.5 ounces) of your choice of liquid oil – avocado oil, olive oil, or coconut oil – and 5 to 10 drops of your mom’s favorite essential oil. Mix everything together, then pour the mixture into your choice of container and let it cool. Keep a lid on the container.  Small canning jars are a great container to use for homemade lotions. These lotions are generally too thick to use in jars with pumps. You can write the name or scent of the lotion on a little tag, then punch a hole in the...

Liberally apply some facial moisturizer to your skin after you remove your chemical peel. Use your normal face moisturizer, or get a thoroughly hydrating solution for this purpose. Re-apply this 10-20 times throughout the day – don’t let your skin dry out. If you peel, don’t pick at it! Let your skin heal naturally or you might damage it. Dab Vaseline or Aquaphor over areas that are very dry. It’s normal for your skin to be red and to sting after your peel. This may only last a few hours, or the whole day. Soothe redness by wrapping a cold wet towel over your face. You can also try aloe vera gel, a cooling mask, ice packs, or putting a cool mist humidifier in your room. Your skin will be sensitive and tender after your chemical peel. Stay out of the sun until this subsides. If you do go in the sun, wear sunscreen on your face. Rinse your face twice a day with soap-less cleanser or water, for 10-30 seconds. Rinse your face with lukewarm water by splashing water onto your face over the sink. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Do NOT rub your skin. Avoid pressing your face into anything or rubbing your face until the skin heals. Sleep on your back so you don’t rub your cheek or forehead on the pillow. See your doctor right away if you have signs of an infection. This can be an area of skin that looks especially crusty and tender, yellow, or that oozes fluid.

TL;DR in English: Apply moisturizer to your face right after your peel. Ease redness with cooling products. Protect your face from the sun. Wash your face gently twice a day. Sleep on your back. See your doctor if your skin crusts or oozes.

Ask yourself what the reasons are behind your desire to change. Write down the reasons you come up with. This way you can discover the root of your problem. Once you know where the wish to be someone else is coming from, you can solve the problem's source.  Don't base your need to become someone else off of a few isolated events. Challenges and undesirable circumstances happen to all of us every now and then. We all make mistakes and try to learn from them regularly as well. If there is a clear and repeating pattern to your experiences or relationships that provides clues to where you could improve, then use that information to your advantage. Explore where relationships broke down or what you have been criticized for. You have looked at what is happening around you that makes you want to be someone else; you need to consider your personal feelings as well. If certain things are bothering you, find out what they are and how you can make them better.  If you're not happy with yourself, figure out why. Are you overweight? Have a nervous disposition? Disorganized? If you are merely bored with the way things are and want a change, reflect on what exactly you are not satisfied with. Is it your relationship? Your job? Your house or car? The weather? Focus on the area that you want to change. You know what needs to change so you can be who you want to be. Now you need to brainstorm ways to fix or make the problem better.  If you need to lose weight to feel healthy and happy then concentrate on that. Start going to the gym, lower your fat and carbohydrate intake and get engaged in a social group for support. If you suffer from anxiety, then seek help from a professional, practice meditation and take opportunities to practice being assertive. If you are tired of people calling you boring, do something adventurous like sky diving, mountain climbing, sailing or learning to fly a plane. If you're unhappy with your romantic partner, do something new together, find ways to connect and appreciate each other, go to...

Vacuum on a regular basis to suck up and kill any spiders or egg sacs in your home. Pay special attention to the cracks and corners in your home and remove any spiderwebs that you notice. Make sure to keep your storage in the basement, garage or attic well organized and clutter-free. Regularly wipe down your shutters, caulk all cracks, and put weather strips on your doors. Make sure to de-clutter piles of rocks, wood, or compost around your home so that your yard is a less appealing environment to spiders. Dissolve regular table salt in warm water, put the solution in a spray bottle, and spray the plants surrounding the outside of your home to keep spiders away. You can also mix water with lavender, cinnamon, citrus, tea tree, or peppermint oil and spray it in problem areas to repel and even kill spiders from a distance. Bugs will be less drawn to your home if you keep the exterior lights off. Because of this, you can cut spiders’ food supply with just the flick of a switch. Replace your lights with sodium vapor lights or yellow lights as an alternative. These types of lights are much less attractive to bugs.

To ease the removal of nail glue from your fingers or hand, you must first soften the adhesive. Fill a basin with warm water. Submerge your fingertips or entire hand into the water. Soak the affected area for two minutes. Remove any glue the detaches from your nails or skin. Retrieve a nail file, a bottle of acetone, and cotton balls.  Carefully run the nail file over your nails to remove large pieces of glue. Do not file your nail down to the skin. Soak a cotton ball in acetone and wipe the saturated swab over your nails and skin. Continue to rub the affected areas with acetone until the glue rolls off your nails and skin. After removing the glue with a nail file and acetone, it is important to wash your hands. Run your hands under warm water. Scrub your hands and fingernails with an exfoliating soap.

Slide the negative terminal back onto the port on the battery and push it down as far as you can. Tighten the nut with a socket wrench to secure the terminal back to the battery so you’re able to use your vehicle again. Turn the key in the ignition to start your vehicle and check if the power light turns on for the amp. If you don’t see the power light turn on, shut off your vehicle and disconnect the negative terminal before checking all of the power connections. Look for a knob or screw that’s labeled “Gain” or “Amp Sensitivity” on the front of your amp. If there’s a knob, turn it counterclockwise by hand to lower the gain. If there’s a screw, turn it counterclockwise with a screwdriver until it doesn’t go any further. The gain controls how loud the amp will output the audio from your stereo. Put a CD in the stereo or connect an MP3 device so you can play music. Choose a song that you know well and has crisp, clear audio so you can hear distortion easily. Keep the song on repeat so you can continue listening for audio interference. You can also use the radio, but make sure the station comes in without any static, or else it can be hard to tell if it’s caused by the amp. Turn the volume knob slowly on the stereo to increase the volume. Keep turning the dial until you hear static or interference coming through your speakers. Find the volume level right below where the distortion starts so you can adjust your vehicle’s audio accordingly. You won’t hear the music start playing yet since the speakers run through the amp and the gain is turned down. Rotate the gain control clockwise by hand or with a screwdriver so you can hear the audio through your speakers. Continue raising the gain setting until you have the audio as loud as you think you’ll play it in your vehicle. If you hear any distortion or interference, turn the gain down slightly until you don’t hear it anymore. Once you’re happy with the gain levels, turn the volume down at your stereo. Whenever you want to make volume adjustments after setting the...

TL;DR in English: Reconnect the negative battery terminal to test the amplifier. Turn the gain on the amp down as far as it can go. Play clean audio that you’re familiar with through your stereo. Raise the volume on the stereo head until you hear distortion. Set the gain controls until the music is as loud as you plan on listening to it. Reattach the trim pieces and stereo head when you’re finished.

Flip through a few home decorating magazines and pull out the photos that stand out to you. Look for the commonalities between the photos to get an idea about what kind of style you want for your room. Go to the library or a bookstore and look through home decorating books. Try books that represent several different styles to get an idea about your preferences. For example, notice if you’re drawn to books with rich accents or books with minimal decor. To find ideas from designers and bloggers, check out Houzz and Pinterest. How you’ve chosen to decorate your other rooms can help you decide how to accessorize the dining room. You may decide to maintain a consistent style, or you could decide to do something fun and new in your dining room. Selecting 1 or 2 design styles will allow you to narrow furniture and accents to those that fit into your chosen style. Popular design styles for a dining room include modern, contemporary, traditional, eclectic, Victorian, rustic, and country. You can mix and match styles to create something unique that appeals to your personal taste. Before you start buying accessories, decide on a color scheme. There isn’t a set way to decide on a color scheme. Some decide by choosing paint or a wall covering, while others build a color scheme around a big item they plan to use in the room.  Base your color scheme on a piece you already own, such as a rug, plate, or piece of art.  Use your favorite colors to make sure you aren’t disappointed.  Try classics or neutrals for flexibility.  Consider a lighter color to brighten the room, or choose a darker color for a warmer room.

TL;DR in English: Pull out your favorite looks from magazines. Flip through style books. Look at the style of your other rooms. Choose a common design style. Select a color scheme.

If you want to help save the rainforest, there are five steps you can take, represented by the acronym “TREES.” “T” stands for “teach others.” Education and awareness are the most powerful tools for change. You can take steps towards saving the rainforest by teaching those around you how important it is to do so! The “R” in the acronym stands for “restore ecosystems.” Despite the devastation already experienced by many of the world’s rainforests, these lush ecosystems are still capable of healing. In order for the rainforest to be “saved,” efforts must be made to replant lost trees, and help these delicate ecosystems recuperate. One way that you can contribute aid to the restoration of the rainforest is through ecotourism. Donating to rainforest conservation organizations is another option. The first “E” stands for “encourage sustainable living.” No amount of restoration can help the rainforests if the practices of using rainforest resources don’t change. In order to save the rainforest, farmers, companies, and individuals need to learn and embody sustainable practices. You can help support these efforts by donating to a rainforest organization, or by participating in ecotourism. The second “E” stands for “establish parks.” National Parks are protected lands that cannot be changed, developed, or otherwise used for commercial purposes. Expanding areas of protected National Park land is one of the most important efforts toward saving the rainforest. You can sign numerous petitions through Rainforest Rescue to help establish and preserve rainforest National Parks.

Don't give too much information away. Avoid clichés. Keep the beginning brief.

Finding common ground with shared interests is a great way to build a better bond between you and your girlfriend.  By sharing what your interests are with each other, you can find out which ones you have in common and might enjoy together. Talk with your girlfriend and learn about what interests she has and any activities she enjoys.  Once you have a good idea what she might like to do, plan to do some of those things with her. For example, if your girlfriend likes to paint, try taking her to a painting class and paint together. Openly and honestly communicating your needs, or having your partner discuss what they need, is a required part of any good relationship.  Keeping the lines of communication open will allow for honest expression and will make sure both peoples needs are being met.  Honesty needs to be allowed for in conversations. Both parties need to be allowed to speak about their feelings in regards to the relationship or any other topic. Actively listen to what your partner may say.  Hear them objectively and fairly, without adding your own meaning. Always use “I” statements when talking about your feelings regarding the relationship. Avoid getting defensive if you hear something you don't like. Avoid using “You” statements and respond fairly with your own thoughts and feelings.

There are seven notes in the musical alphabet: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. These notes go in order, from left to right, on the white keys on the keyboard. After the G keys, the musical alphabet starts over at A. Label strips of tape, putting one of the seven notes on each strip, and mark the keys on the keyboard. To find one of the A keys, look for a group of three black keys on the keyboard. The A key is the white key between the second and third black key. Whole notes, half notes, and quarter notes are each notated differently on sheet music, and they’re played differently too. Whole notes, notated as empty circles, are played for four beats. Half notes, notated as empty circles with upward stretching arms, are played for two beats. And quarter notes, notated as filled-in circles with upward stretching arms, are played for one beat.  To practice, try playing a C whole note. Find the white C key and press down on it with the pad of your finger. Hold the key down and count to four. Then release the key. Try playing a half E. Find the white E key and press it down for two beats. Keyboard scales are groupings of notes that are played together. One of the most common scales is the C Major scale. To play the C Major scale, find the note C on the keyboard (C is the first white key to the left of a group of two black keys) and play it. Now play the next white key to the right, which is the note D, and then the next white key over, the note E, and continue playing the next white key in the row until you reach the note B (the last note before the next C). You’ve just played the C Major scale. A chord is a group of notes being played together at the same time. There are a variety of different chords that can be played, some simpler than others. One basic three-note chord you can start out practicing with is the C chord. Practice playing the C chord with your right hand by placing your thumb on the note C (remember that you can find C by looking for the first white key to the left of a group of two black keys), your...

TL;DR in English: Learn the musical alphabet. Practice playing whole notes, half notes, and quarter notes. Familiarize yourself with the C Major scale. Practice playing the C chord. Practice playing the F chord.

If you’re eating out (or cooking at home) with one or two other people and you cannot reach a consensus, use the 5:3:1: rule. The first person suggests five meal options (whether restaurants to dine out at, or meals to prepare at home). The second person cuts two options, leaving three. The third person makes the final decision and chooses the meal option.  If you’re using the 5:3:1 rule with only two people, it can be up to the first person to make the final choice. This method won’t work with groups larger than three, as not every person will have input. Part of the difficulty with choosing a meal or restaurant option with a group is that everyone has their own preferences, which can prove challenging to accommodate. One way around this is to opt for a rotation “leader” position: allow one person to choose which restaurant or eatery to go to.  Their decision should be final.  Then, each subsequent time the group is planning to eat out, the leader position can rotate, and the new leader will get to choose their preference for eatery This can also work with a dining-in option: allow a rotating leader or family member to choose a dish or recipe you can cook at home. You’ll have an easier time deciding what restaurant or eatery to dine at if you plan to accompany your meal with an activity on the town. For example, if you’ve wanted to try a new restaurant that’s near a movie theater, plan to see a movie right after you finish your meal. Or, you could plan in reverse: if you know you want to attend an art gallery opening, look around online for restaurants near the gallery, and make your lunch or dinner plans there. While making plans with a group, put all group member names on separate sheets of paper, fold the papers up, and put them in a hat or bowl. Draw a name out and let that person know that they’re in charge of deciding where to eat this time. Have someone choose the theme for the gathering, then have a potluck with this theme. For example, Under the Sea (fried shrimp, crab legs, lobster rolls, grits,...

TL;DR in English: Use the 5:3:1 rule. Choose an alternating leader. Pair your meal choice with an activity. Draw a name out of a hat to choose a decision-maker. Try planning group meals based on food themes.

The opening of a novel should set the stage and give just enough information to keep the reader interested. Don't give away important details just yet; you want to keep your reader's attention!  Try to avoid laying out the plot of the book or giving a preview of what is to come. You want to keep people guessing. You also do not need to provide the backstory or the whole history of the characters at this point. Instead, work the backstory into the main story as needed to support the ongoing plot. Remember, the backstory isn't the story! This might sound obvious, but most readers are turned off by cliché openings and predictable, cookie cutter descriptions of characters. While there are always well-written exceptions to these rules, avoid:  Opening with a dream sequence that the reader doesn’t realize is a dream. Many readers find this off-putting and deceptive. Similarly, avoid opening with the character waking from sleep or unconsciousness.  Beginning with a description of the cast of characters, like the family, household, or school.  Descriptions of characters faces or bodies that imply they are gorgeous and perfect in every way. Most readers prefer a relatable hero or heroine to one that is flawless and unrealistic. The average beginning of a novel should be as short as you can make it. If possible, start the conflict on page 1. Don't make your reader wait 50 to 100 pages before they get to the good stuff!  Don't get lost in tedious description. Your reader wants some action and plot advancement, not to get stuck in the details of a description of the countryside or of the  main character's face, body, clothes, and personality.  The introduction should be long enough to cover the subject but short enough to keep it interesting. Interesting and luring introductions grab readers into the story and make them want to read more. Just give the details that are needed to get the reader feeling oriented in the setting and familiar enough with the character to visualize him or her. Most readers enjoy using their...

Wind is caused when air moves from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area. Since weather moves in from the west, westerly winds indicate good weather because they suggest the bad weather is already to your east. Easterly winds suggest that the bad weather is coming toward you.  You can use grass or flower petals to determine the direction of the wind. Throw your grass or flower petals into the wind and watch the way that it blows or falls. You can also detect the direction of the wind by wetting your finger and holding it out. The side of your finger that gets cool will tell you from which direction the wind is blowing. The air pressure determines what direction the smoke will go. In high pressure, the smoke will go directly up into the air. If the pressure is low, it will spiral back down around the fire. If you see the smoke spiraling back down, bad weather is likely on the way. When smoke spirals downwards, it means that bad weather is very close. The low-pressure system is already in place over your area. Before a storm, the low-pressure system can push out the area’s normal wind patterns. This creates a temporary calm before the storm begins. You’ll notice a lack of wind, which creates a stillness over the area. If you're near water, it will be calm and still, as well. This calm indicates a coming storm. At this point, you should be able to observe other signs of a storm, such as dark clouds. Close your eyes and smell the air. Smells become wet right before a storm, making them stronger. Before a storm, you should also notice a compost smell as plants release their waste. If you start to smell a compost scent, it likely means that a storm is coming. If you are near a swamp, you will likely smell swamp gases right before a storm. Swamp gas smells like rotten eggs because it comes from decaying vegetation. High humidity often precedes a storm, so watch for signs of high humidity, such as frizzy hair, curling leaves, and swollen wood. These signs can tell you that a storm is on the way.  Pine cones can...

To create a calming soak, you can add a few tablespoons of epsom salts and a ¼ cup apple cider vinegar to the water. According to health specialists, these natural substances will not harm your baby or affect your pregnancy. Regardless of being pregnant, taking too many bubble baths a month can lead to vaginal irritation and infections. Limit your use of bubble bath when taking a bath while pregnant, and avoid using bubble bath more than twice a month. Avoid staying in the bath for more than one hour to cut down on your risk of infection. Enjoy a one hour soak to ease swollen limbs and relax your pregnant body. Rather than risk tripping or falling, especially when wet, ask your partner or a family member for help before getting out of the tub. Use a fresh towel to wipe off to avoid slipping on the bathroom floor.

You may be a talented hairdresser, but making certain mistakes can cause you to lose clients. Many hairdressers rely on returning clients. When you get a new client, you want to give her a pleasant experience so that she will return to you the next time she needs her hair cut. This section will offer you some guidelines on how to keep your clients, as well as how to make first-time clients into life-time clients. This might mean that you will have to go back to school and take some classes to learn new, specific techniques that were not in fashion or even available when you first went to cosmetology school. Not everyone likes chatting while getting their haircut, but many people do. When striking up a conversation with your client, listen to her replies. If her replies are short and terse, she may not like the subject or she may not feel like talking. Consider changing the subject a few times. Great conversation topics include school, work, friends, hobbies, and weekend plans.  Ask more questions about your client instead of talking about yourself. Be sure to face your client and avoid talking to her through the mirror; this will help build the trust between you and your client. Do not insult your client about the state of her hair, and always ask her before touching her hair. She may be at the salon to get her hair touched, cut, styled, or dyed, but asking her something like "May I see your hair?" will help her prepare mentally and emotionally for this. You will be close to your client for long periods of time. A strong perfume or body odor can be off-putting and deter your client from returning to you. Be sure that you shower every day and wear deodorant. If you tend to get sweaty throughout the day, consider bringing a fresh shirt to change into. Not only is this important for hygienic reasons, but your clients will also appreciate it. A messy counter implies that you are messy in other tasks as well, including haircuts. Make sure that your tools are very clean and that there is no leftover hair or product...

TL;DR in English: Know how to keep clients. Keep up-to-date with the latest hairstyles and trends. Talk to your clients, but know when to hold off. Be courteous and polite with your clients. Maintain good hygiene and go easy on the perfume. Keep your workplace clean. Be flexible with appointments. Give the client what she wants when possible.

You can use outfits to make aspects of your appearance look bigger, smaller, more obvious, or less noticeable.   Patterns – Clothes with vertical lines will usually make the part of the body they're worn on look thinner. Meanwhile, horizontal stripes will often make that space look wider. Bright, attention grabbing patterns will draw the eye to where they're worn, so if you'd like to emphasize your bust, a patterned shirt is a good strategy. The converse is also true; dark, solid pieces can de-emphasize certain areas of your body, especially when paired with bright patterns.  Waist styles – Low-waisted paints can make your body look curvier with a more well-defined waist. Empire waists can help to emphasize your bust.  Structured tailoring – Clothing with structured tailoring can be used to emphasize and give shape to any part of your body. Boxy outerwear can make your upper body look bulkier, while shoulder pads can specifically make your shoulders appear wider. Pleated trousers can also make legs look thicker.  Types of hemlines – A-line skirts are great for adding curves and making your bottom half look wider. Straight skirts are also good for doing the latter. Tapered skirts have the opposite effect; wear these when trying to de-emphasize your lower body.  Fit – In general, baggy clothing will hide definition, while tighter fits will accentuate it. Whether you're buying clothing off-the-rack or having it tailored, it's best to keep your exact proportions in mind. Use a tape measure and write down the exact numbers. Here are the measurements you should take:  Circumference of your head for hat sizing. Upper arm for sleeves. Neck, which is more important in men's clothing. Widest or fullest part of your chest or bust. Natural waistline. Hips for women's clothing. Inseam, which is the distance from your groin to the bottom of your ankle. The right fit is the most important part of choosing good clothes. In general, a garment that fits well but is in an unflattering style will look better than a piece with a...

Instead of calling the main administration, aim for the local governments. They are more likely to have information on your loved one since they are closer to where they live. To find the region and number for your loved one's municipality, use the map at http://prfaa.pr.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Oficinas-Regionales.pdf. If you're not sure where the person lives, you can start higher up with the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration office in Washington D.C. The numbers are 202-800-3133 or 202-778-0710. Ask if they can help locate your loved one. The disaster team's email changes with each natural disaster. For instance, in 2017 after Hurricane Maria, the disaster team's email was maria1@prfaa.pr.gov. Search the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration office to see if you can find a current email address. Provide information about the person you're trying to find, such as they're last known location, name, and age.

. To make writing the novel much easier, plot out your novel. Use a plot diagram to plot out the novel, making sure you keep the stakes high and the conflict going in the plot. A plot diagram will have exposition, the inciting incident, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. You can also use the snowflake method to plot out the novel. The snowflake method consists of a one-sentence summary, a one paragraph summary, character synopses, and a spreadsheet of scenes. Start the thriller novel with a scene right in the action. Starting with action will throw the reader into the scene right away and assure them they are in for some major thrills. Introduce the crime or describe the protagonist in a the middle of a dilemma or major issue.  Avoid including backstory or exposition in the opening pages of the novel. You can do this later. Start with the most interesting or engaging moments first. For example, you may start a thriller with a description of a killer hunting down a victim. This will immerse the reader in the world of the story right away. As the novel goes on, make sure the stakes are always high for the main character and for the reader. This means putting your main character in situations that are difficult or risky. Keep conflict going between characters. Create obstacles that get in the way of the character solving a crime or achieving what they want. Make the main character’s life full of complications or issues. For example, maybe you have a thriller where a young, eager FBI agent wants to solve a difficult case. You may make it difficult for the agent to achieve their goal by causing evidence to be lost in a fire or by having a witness go missing. Do not include any unnecessary information or information that does not further the plot. Make sure the action moves forward continually in the novel and that the pace is always fast. Thriller are at their best when they are action packed and focus more on plot than anything else. For example, rather than include long sections of backstory...

TL;DR in English: Plot out the novel Begin with a bang. Maintain high stakes. Keep the action moving. Build to an exciting climax. End on a high note.

With the flesh-side facing up, use a dinner fork to scrape the flesh of the squash away from the shell and toward the hollowed out center.  Move around the entire perimeter of the shell, gently pulling the flesh away in spaghetti-like strands and "fluffing" those strands toward the center as you work. If you have difficulty doing this with one fork, use two. One fork can be used to hold the squash in place while the second is used to scrape away strands of flesh. Use the fork to gently lift and pull the strands of flesh completely out of the shell and onto the platter. If the shell is still hot, you may need to hold it with oven mitts or a kitchen towel. Add these ingredients to the platter and use two forks to gently toss them into the spaghetti squash.  You can serve spaghetti squash in a variety of other ways, as well. For instance, if using it as a substitute for actual spaghetti, you could add a tomato-based sauce and Parmesan cheese. Alternatively, you could also toss it with a 2 to 4 Tbsp (30 to 60 ml) of fresh chopped herbs, like basil, parsley, or chives.

TL;DR in English: Scrape out the inside of the squash. Dump the strands of squash out onto a serving dish. Dress with melted butter, salt, and ground black pepper. Finished.

After you’ve chosen your assorted colors, you’ll need to prep them all according to the instructions for each product. Because you’ll be using multiple colors, it may be helpful to label each mixing bowl with the name of the dye, like “caramel” or “auburn,” so that you don’t mix up the colors while you’re in the middle of the process. Before you start painting strands all over your head, it’s important to make sure your hair reacts to the dye how you want it to. Grab a few small strands from your bottom layer of hair, where it is easily concealed. Then, do a little “test strand” for each dye you want to use. Let that process as the instructions indicate, and then rinse and dry the strands.  This will allow you to see how the color will develop before you start applying it all over your hair. You can also determine if you need to leave dye on longer, you can practice applying the dye, and so on. A test run is always a good idea. Balayage is a very organic, freehanded way to apply the dye, but it’s important that you spread it throughout your hair. By applying the dye section by section, you can ensure that there is a bit of color everywhere. The amount of sections you’ll need to create depend on how thick your hair is. One bottom layer below your ears, one layer at your temples, and one top layer is usually a satisfactory method. You can purchase cheap plastic hair clips at your local pharmacy, and these are perfect for creating the sections.

TL;DR in English: Mix your dyes according to the package instructions. Do a few test strands. Section off your hair.

Your doctor may prescribe a combination of megestrol acetate (Megace), corticosteroids and anti-anxiety drugs to reduce your weight loss and prevent muscle loss. The dosage of each may need to be adjusted through the course of your treatment, depending on your condition. Other medications that may be considered include Oxandrolone or Dronabinol. Oxandrolone is an anabolic steroid used to encourage weight gain after a trauma by promoting the building of muscle tissue. Dronabinol is used to treat anorexia, nausea, and vomiting in patients who are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy to treat cancer. Sometimes your lack of appetite or weight loss is caused by another treatable condition, such as depression, pain, or anxiety. Your physician can help with medication or recommendations for behavioral therapy which will reduce your depression or anxiety and increase your appetite. Before you start your first treatment, make sure you have lots of pre-cooked foods and snacks you know you enjoy already prepared. Stock your pantry and fill your freezer. You should also ask friends and family to help you with shopping, cooking, and cleaning while you're feeling badly. Planning ahead for eating will make it easier to focus on treatment plans and regaining your strength. Talk with your healthcare team about measures you should be taking to prevent constipation. Avoid trying to eat a few large meals each day, as this can make you feel nauseous. Instead, eat as much of a meal as you can whenever you feel the hungriest during the day. Throughout the day you should have snacks every few hours, without waiting until you feel hungry. Pack things like trail mix or protein shakes to make up the difference in calories if you can't eat a full meal. Drink most of your fluids between meals and/or snacks instead of with them. Fluids will fill your stomach and make you feel like you are full but without having consumed enough calories, so it’s best to drink fluids when you aren’t eating.

In order for you to be able to remember something, your brain needs to go through three stages: acquisition, consolidation, and retrieval (sometimes known as recall). If something goes wrong in one of these stages, it will be difficult to remember what you want to remember.  In the acquisition stage, information that you’ve just learned is stored in your short-term memory before either being discarded or encoded as long-term memory. If you’re not paying attention to something, such as where you put your glasses down before leaving the room, you’re very likely to forget their location when you come back. In the consolidation stage, information that you’ve learned is transferred into long-term memory. This is more likely to happen if this information relates to other long-term memories of yours, is meaningful in some way (related to historical or important events), or has a strong sensory impression connected to it. In the retrieval stage, information stored in your memory is retrieved by activating the neuronal pattern used to store it. This stage is often where the feeling of having something “on the tip of your tongue” occurs, and there are some things you can do to prompt this stage. Research has found that a lot of memory is “context-dependent,” meaning people are better at remembering information in an environment that matches the environment in which that information was learned. For example, if you thought of something in the living room and forgot it by the time you got to the kitchen, try going back to the living room. It’s likely the return to a familiar context will help you retrieve the forgotten information. If you can’t physically go back to the place you were when you had the thought you’ve now forgotten, try imagining where you were, what you were doing, and how your thoughts connected to each other. Because many memories are stored along overlapping neuronal patterns, reconstructing your train of thought may help retrieve the forgotten thought by stimulating related ideas. For example, if you...

TL;DR in English: Understand the stages of remembering something. Retrace your steps. Reconstruct your train of thought. Recreate the original environmental cues. Think and/or talk about something else that's not related. Relax.

Before you do anything else, you need to turn of the circuit breaker. If you aren’t sure which breaker turns off the light, turn off the main breaker and use natural light or a headlamp to complete this project. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws, or an impact driver with a hex-shaft to remove the nuts, that secure the canopy (the dome-shaped cover) to the ceiling. Then, use a screwdriver to remove the screws that secure the crossbar to the electrical box. Disconnect the wires on the fixture from the wires in the ceiling by removing the wire connectors and untwisting the wires. Carefully lower the old fixture to the floor. Follow the instructions that came with the new fixture. Generally, you’ll need to line up the crossbar with the back of the canopy and thread the pipe or screws through the canopy. Only 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 inch (0.64 to 1.27 cm) of the pipe should extend past the canopy, so adjust the screws or pipe until that much is showing. Tighten the nuts to hold the screws or pipe in place. Ask someone to hold the fixture while you do this. First, make sure all the wires are on 1 side of the crossbar. Then, use a screwdriver to screw the crossbar to the electrical box on the ceiling. It should go across the center of the hole and be screwed in on either side. You should connect the “hot” wire in the fixture to the “hot” wire in the ceiling, and the neutral wire in the fixture to the neutral wire in the ceiling. Generally, the hot wire is black or red and the neutral wire is white. Use wire connectors to connect the like wires to each other. Simply twist the exposed parts of the wires together, then screw the connector onto the wires. There is a ground screw on the crossbar that you installed, and it can usually be found just to 1 side of the center of the crossbar. Find the ground wire, which is usually green or copper. Wrap the ground wire clockwise around the ground screw to tighten it. Tuck all of the wires and wire connectors into the electrical box. Then, use a screwdriver or impact driver to secure...

TL;DR in English: Turn off the circuit breaker that powers the light. Remove the old fixture, if applicable. Assemble the mounting strap for the new fixture. Attach the crossbar to the electrical box. Connect the like wires to each other. Wrap the ground wire clockwise around the ground screw. Install the canopy. Add the light bulbs and turn the power back on.

Yes, they learned a few things from other players, maybe took a few lessons, but the greats broke away from the herd and took music into their own hands. When you think about many artists using any media or art form in one way or another somehow got inspired by another artist who did the same thing. Read or watch biographies of artists that interest you. You don't have to just stick to Hendrix. Hendrix began playing guitar at 15, played music around Tennessee but found fame playing in England. He only played electric guitar and experimented with the sound. Before him, even though electric guitars had been around since 1931, they were playing the same as an acoustic. Where most musicians simply amplified what they played, Hendrix used feedback, bending strings and percussion noises on the solid body guitar during his performances to distort and enhance the usual string sound. Every time he played live, the sound was different. His career spanned only four years, but he is still considered the most influential electric guitarist in the history of rock music. This guy is the legendary guitarist who people say sold his soul at the crossroads to the devil for the special guitar licks that no one can duplicate. The story goes that he learned a few things from other players, disappeared for a while, then suddenly reappeared playing a one of a kind style. He recorded 29 songs in a room at the Baker Hotel in Dallas, TX, in 1937, and every rock and roll (and blues) song is an extension of his work. He started off learning a few chords from a friend, got bored and taught himself to play by listening to records. He began live performances at 13, did studio session work for years, was a member of The Yardbirds, and by 26 had formed Led Zeppelin. Most of the recorded guitar solos from 1960 to 1968 in England were played by him, including work with The Who, The Kinks, Herman's Hermits and The Rolling Stones.

TL;DR in English: Take hints from the truly great guitar players of years past. Inspire yourself with the life story of Jimi Hendrix himself. Think of the crafty Robert Johnson who combined different playing styles into an original style all his own. Motivate yourself with the story of Jimmy Page as inspiration when you get bored of learning basic notes and chords.

Once you have written a draft of your eulogy, print out a copy and read it through. As you read, look for moments to expand on content and provide more details when necessary.  Ask yourself whether your eulogy makes sense. Do your stories illustrate your theme? Do you feel like anything is missing? Is there a story you should have included or an aspect of your father's personality you could have explored more? Is there anything that feels like it doesn't belong? Add to your eulogy as needed. If you feel like there's room for expansion, expand as needed. You can also cut anything out that you feel like does not add to the theme. Time is an issue. The average eulogy should only last 5 to 7  minutes. When delivering your eulogy, it can help to have a portion memorized. This can make the delivery go smoother. You do not need to memorize the entire eulogy. You should keep some notes during delivery, as you may be nervous or emotional when delivering the speech.  If you want to memorize the whole speech, memorize small chunks one at a time. It can be daunting to remember everything. You should write down notes with reminders on them. This will help you stay on track as you deliver your speech. You should practice your eulogy several times in the days leading to the funeral. Read it out loud to yourself, or before a mirror. Focus on moments where you stumble, and practice those portions more. You can ask a friend or family member to listen to you practice. They can give you feedback on how to make your delivery smoother. It is never easy to write a eulogy, and it can be particularly trying if you're writing a eulogy for your father. As you work on your eulogy, try to stay strong emotionally.  Reach out to others. Your existing relationships are important during grief. Lean on friends and family members during your weak moments. Try to work on reframing your sense of identity. Losing a parent can make you feel you've lost a source of personal guidance. Try to think about who you are without your father, and how you...

You can use a variety of tools to do this. A foam or bristle brush will do fine, but you can also use a cloth dipped in stain to color your teak furniture. Apply an even coat all over. If there are any parts of the furniture you don’t want to stain, use masking tape to protect them. Use a clean dry rag to wipe off excess stain. Use a rag you don’t mind dirtying; the wood stain would be incredibly difficult to wash out. The longer you leave on the stain before wiping, the darker the color. The amount of time it takes for the stain to completely dry will depend on how thick of a layer you used. Avoid touching the stain too much if it’s still wet; you might end up with an uneven, blotchy coat. After the first coat has dried, take a moment to see if you’re satisfied with the color. If you want your furniture to be darker, you can add another coat of wood stain, right on top of the previous layer, following the same process. Use a clean brush to paint on the finish once you’ve gotten the desired color. After applying the finish, make sure to give it plenty of time to dry. There are three main types of finish, each with their own characteristics:  Oil finishes look closest to wood, but aren’t the best for protecting wood. Avoid using this kind of finish on outdoor furniture. Lacquer strike a good balance between attractive finish and durability, but require multiple coats. Polyurethane finishes are the most protective of the three, even repelling water.

Talk to your boyfriend well before the meeting and ask what his parents like and don't like. He should also be able to tell you some favorite subjects you can talk about and topics to steer clear of.  Things you might want to find out: Where are his parents from? What kind of work do they do? What do they like to do in their spare time? Make sure you find out conversation topics to avoid in order to prevent a foot-in-mouth moment. For example, you might not want to talk about the expensive cruise your family just went on when your boyfriend’s parents are having money problems. attentively to everyone who speaks to you. Make eye contact and use body language, such as nodding and leaning toward the speaker, to indicate you are interested in what they are saying. Most people love to talk about themselves. Try to get his parents talking by asking about their lives, or to tell you more about their children. Ask them to share a funny story about your boyfriend as a child. Ask open-ended questions. Questions that require more than a yes or no answer are ways to continue the conversation. Try saying, “Tell me more about that” or “What was that like?” If you need to correct his parents on something, be respectful and polite. Don’t act like a know-it-all, and do not engage in an argument.  You could say, “I’ve also heard this perspective…” or “You know, I just read about this! The article said.....” which can help take the heat off you while gently offering another perspective. Do not say things like, “You’re wrong,” or “How can you even think that?” Don’t act like a know-it-all. People do not like lectures, they prefer conversations. Make sure you are allowing others to share their opinions, even if you are an expert on a subject. It is easier to talk to people you don’t know well when you have some common ground.

You need to know about the specific blood tests your doctor is ordering. Some blood tests will require special preparation to get accurate results. Some examples of common blood tests which require special preparation include:  Glucose tolerance tests, which require fasting prior to coming to the lab. You also have to remain at the lab for up to 5 hours and your blood is taken every 30 to 60 minutes. Fasting Glucose test, which is done after you have not eaten or had anything to drink except water for 8 to 12 hours. These tests are often first thing in the morning so you aren’t asked to go without eating all day. Serum Lipid testing, also called a cholesterol test, which will sometimes require you to fast for 9 to 12 hours before the test.  Cortisol blood test, where you are asked to refrain from exercising the day before, lie down for 30 minutes before the test, and refrain from eating or drinking for 1 hour before the test. There are certain substances that can alter blood tests, which you may need to stop before your blood test. Prescription medications, recreational drugs, alcohol intake, vitamins, blood thinners, or over-the-counter medications can often change the results of a blood test, depending on what the blood test is for. Your physician can determine if you should wait 24 to 48 hours to have the blood work done or if what you have taken will not significantly alter the blood test results. There are some blood tests that can be compromised based on your activities. These tests can be altered by recent physical activity or heavy exercise, undergoing dehydration, smoking, drinking herbal teas, or sexual activity. You might be asked to refrain from some of these activities prior to taking a blood test. Many tests do not require special preparation prior to getting your blood drawn. However, when in doubt, ask. If your physician does not give you any special instructions, it is important that you ask in order to reduce the potential that you arrive for the test without preparing sufficiently. Being...

TL;DR in English: Talk with your doctor. Discuss your medications. Refrain from certain activities. Ask your doctor for instructions. Drink enough water. Warm your extremities. Talk to the phlebotomist.

If you have dry hair, you have fragile hair. Handling it roughly will cause your ends to split and could even lead to breakage. When you're washing, drying and otherwise handling your hair, think of it as a delicate fabric that needs to be treated with extra care. That means no scrubbing, pulling or wringing it out.  When you shampoo your hair, use the tips of your fingers to gently pull the shampoo through your hair instead of roughly scrubbing it in. Rinse your shampoo using cool or lukewarm water; hot water is extra damaging to dry hair. Then, seal the cuticle with cold water as you rinse out your conditioner. When you're done, gently squeeze excess water from your hair instead of twisting and wringing it out. Pat it dry with a towel. Hair becomes dry when the natural oils produced by your scalp aren't getting the chance to nourish it. Shampooing dry hair every day will make it even drier and more brittle since you're stripping those oils away on a daily basis. Cut back to shampooing just two to three times a week, to give your hair the chance to receive those nourishing oils.  When you first cut back, you'll notice your scalp producing a lot of oil, since it's used to having to overproduce to make up for how much gets washed out. Give it a week or two and you'll find that things balance out; you'll be able to go several days in between washings without your hair looking dirty. If your roots start looking a little oily,  dry shampoo is a great way to remedy the problem without washing your hair. Are you addicted to your hair dryer? Time to put it down and let your hair dry on its own. Directing hot air toward dry hair won't give it the chance to get healthy. While a blowout might make your hair look shiny, the heat is actually quite damaging, and over time will cause breakage and split ends.  When you first start letting your hair air dry, you might not be thrilled with the results. Give it some time; after a month or so of treating your hair gently, your beautiful natural texture will finally get the...

TL;DR in English: Handle your hair gently when you wash and dry it. Shampoo less often. Let your hair air dry. Comb instead of brushing. Halt damaging hair treatments. Avoid hairstyles that pull on your hair.

Does its coat suit your climate? Is it small enough to live in your apartment or house? Does its energy level suit the amount of exercise you can provide? Careful consideration of these questions will ensure your puppy's well-being and will also impact the happiness of your household. . Puppies love to explore with their mouths. To keep your puppy and house safe, you'll need to take a few precautions.  Remove breakable items from the area where you plan to keep your puppy. Keep all electrical cords raised or covered, and close all low windows. Lock away toxic cleaning supplies/chemicals. Get a trash can that is too tall for him to get into and too heavy to knock over, or store the trash can in a cabinet. Consider getting a folding gate or exercise pen to keep him confined to a certain room or area. The kitchen or bathroom is an ideal place for his bed during the day because those rooms are usually warm and have washable floors. At night, keep your puppy in his crate in your bedroom. This will allow you to hear him during the night, so you will know if he needs to go outside to relieve himself. These are better than glass because they do not chip and stay cleaner. If you have other pets, be sure to give each pet their own food and water bowls to avoid conflict. At feeding time, you will separate them to prevent fighting over food and to ensure each pet gets the nutrition they need. You might consider a crate with a crate pillow, a snuggle nest, or a wicker basket with a lot of towels. Whichever option you choose, make sure it is always soft, clean, comfy, and dry. Have a blanket on hand in case of cool weather. To avoid conflict, each pet should have their own bed. Your puppy will be a ball of boundless energy, so make sure you get plenty of toys, including both chew toys and soft toys. The toys should be sturdy enough to prevent choking hazards. Don't give rawhide to puppies as a toy; use it only as a treat and watch him as he chews. Training treats should be healthy, small, and easily chewed or swallowed....

Have a calling. Have a college degree. Apply to bible school or seminary. Receive your ordained minister license. Become a minister at a particular church.

. Make sure to pick your cooling rack according to the size of the cake you are baking. 10-inches seems to be the largest standard pan size (for bundt cakes and round cakes), so a rack that is at least 10-inches across should serve just about all of your needs. Cooling racks are an essential tool for any baker as they help your cake cool evenly and quickly. Here are a few things to consider:  Pick a wire rack that is easy to fit in your dishwasher and in the area you plan to store it. Cooling racks work by allowing air to circulate under your cake, which helps prevent condensation which could make the bottom soggy. Once your cake is fully cooked, use oven mitts to carefully take it out of the oven and place the pan directly on your cooling rack. If you are cooling a cheesecake, you can simply turn off the oven and leave your cake inside to cool for about an hour. This allows the delicate cake to cool slowly, which will help prevent it from cracking. At this point, it is a good idea to check your cooking instructions for cooling time guidelines. Cooling time can vary considerably depending on the type of cake you are baking. As a rule of thumb, expect to cool your cake on the rack for 10-15 minutes. The cake pan should be resting on the rack to ensure that the bottom of the cake pan has airflow. Remove your cake pan from the cooling rack and place it on the counter. Use a sharp knife or butter knife and run it along the edges of the pan between the rim of the pan and the cake. Be sure to keep your knife vertical so you don't accidentally cut into the sides of your cake. Run the knife around the edges a couple times to loosen your cake from the pan. Before transferring your cake directly to the cooling rack, you will need to lightly spray your rack with cooking spray. Since your cake will still be slightly warm, placing it on a rack with cooking spray will prevent it from sticking to the wire rack. Hold the cooling rack over the top of the pan and slowly turn the pan upside down. Gently tap the bottom of the...

TL;DR in English: Choose the right cooling rack Remove your cake from the oven. Let your cake sit. Loosen your cake from the pan. Spray your cooling rack. Transfer your cake directly to the rack (optional). Remove your cake from the cooling rack.

You can purchase capos at music stores or online. There are three conventional capos that you can get for the first four frets of the banjo. These include the elastic, clamp, and screw capos. Compare the three different kinds of capos online and choose one that meets your needs and fits in your budget.  Elastic capos are often the cheapest but least exact kind of capo. Clamp capos use a spring to create tension. Screw capos allow you to adjust the tension of the capo and are the most popular for banjos. A Shubb sliding capo is made specifically for banjos and can slide up and down the neck past the fourth fret. Shubb capos should be professionally installed by a luthier or banjo professional because they have to be screwed into the neck of the banjo. Railroad spikes are placed in holes that are punched into the frets under the fifth string and can be used as a capo for your fifth string. Take your banjo to a luthier or professional that works on musical string instruments so they can install it for you. Typically railroad spikes are installed between the seventh and tenth frets.

TL;DR in English: Get a traditional capo for the first four frets. Use a sliding capo for the fifth string. Get railroad spikes installed past the fourth fret.

Bold prints and bright colors are the epitome of mod. Red, white, and blue are traditional British mod colors. Color-blocking is also a mod style so keep an eye out for those types of items. Look for well-made, slim-cut suits. The original mods wore tailored suits (black, gray and brown) with vests and pocket squares. Pants should be slim and suits should always be three button. Polo shirts are an essential mod item. Though you may equate a polo shirt with a preppy look, the way you pair a polo with other items makes it more mod. Be sure to button the shirt all the way to the top, as this creates the streamlined modern look. Both bomber jackets and parkas are typical mod styles. Pair a bomber jacket with a button-up for a more dressed-up style. Consider leaving the zipper down halfway to show off your shirt. Choose a parka in green or tan for a traditional mod look, reminiscent of The Who. These pants are a mix between a boxy design and a tighter pant. Slim-fit does not equate to skinny jeans; they should be fitted, not tight. Choose chinos or a tapered pant. Roll up the cuff of your pants to show off your footwear. Levi’s jeans, shrunk to fit, were also a popular mod item. Chelsea boots were incredibly popular in the mod scene. Desert lace-up boots are another popular mod choice. Consider purchasing a pair of each, one in black and one in brown or gray, so you have the perfect shoe to pair with any outfit. Oxfords are also a mod shoe option. Pair a fitted polo with slim-fit chinos and Chelsea boots to create a totally mod look. Wear a brightly-colored shirt with your suit to stand out in a modern way, or even put a parka on over your button-up and add a lace-up desert boot. During mod times, many men wore their hair longer than usual. Choose a bowl-cut or a slightly shaggy style to complete your mod look. Think Paul McCartney or Miles Kane. Thin ties, newsboy caps, and scarves all pull together the look for men. Round glasses were also quite popular for men during mod times. Buttons from mod bands and...

TL;DR in English: Choose modern colors. Get a tailored suit. Pick a polo shirt. Wear a bomber jacket or parka. Pick slim-fit trousers. Choose Chelsea boots or desert lace-ups. Mix formal and casual pieces. Wear a mop-top. Accessorize with hats or scarves.

It is best to travel down streets that you know well and on buses or trains that you are familiar with. Always opt for the route you know to be safe instead of venturing into the unknown. Avoid taking new paths to work, school, or home if you can. Use Google maps or the GPS on your phone to plot out your journey to a new place before going there. Note the directions for driving, walking, or public transport. Take a screenshot of the directions so that you can refer to them easily later. Knowing how to get yourself around a city is an important part of being street smart. A good knowledge of bus, subway, and train routes will allow you to get places quickly. It will also help you find an out if you find yourself in a location or situation that you want to escape. As a general rule, it is always best to stick to your original destination when commuting or travelling. This allows your friends and loved ones to know where you are or where you will be. Stick to your original destination instead of wandering or changing your plans last minute, which can lead to unexpected trouble.

TL;DR in English: Stick to your regular routes whenever possible. Chart your trips online. Learn everything you can about the public transportation system. Do not deviate from your destination.

Traditionally, ordained Christian ministers have felt a strong pull to become spiritual leaders. They are members of a particular Christian sect or church and believe that they are meant to serve their communities in the name of God. Services performed by ordained Christian ministers include:  Performing baptisms.     Officiating weddings and funerals.     Providing spiritual counseling.     Working as chaplains.     Working as missionaries.     Founding new churches.    Traditionally-ordained ministers obtain their licenses through bible or seminary schools, which are effectively graduate programs. Like most graduate programs, entrance into theological programs requires a college degree. Depending on the program, candidates will take courses in theology, philosophy, and other courses meant to provide preparation for a life devoted to religious service. A Master of Divinity degree is awarded at the end of the program.  Becoming ordained as a minister through school was the most common path before online ordination became possible. Receiving ordination through school can take several years, and it can be quite expensive. In some cases, a church or religious community will sponsor a member who feels called to ministry. At the completion of the theological program, an ordained minister license will be granted. This grants you the legal ability to perform marriage ceremonies and other services that fall under the purview of ordained ministers. Churches perform their own ordination ceremonies after an application process has been completed. In most cases candidates will be expected to attend additional classes and undergo a presentation and interview process before ordination is granted by church officials.  Ordination with a particular church typically means that the church will employ you for your services. In addition to conducting religious ceremonies, ministers affiliated with churches usually actively serve their communities by visiting the sick, holding educational programs, leading church trips and so on.

TL;DR in English:


Collect coffee grounds for distributing onto the ground outdoors. Pour the coffee grounds over your outdoor soil.

That way, if one of them breaks open during shipment, the beer will stay in the plastic bag instead of soaking through the box. Before you seal the bags shut, press out the excess air using your hands. If you're shipping a pack of beer, like a 6-pack, remove all the beers from the pack and bag them individually. The bubble wrap strips should be about 1 foot (30 cm) wide. You can find a roll of bubble wrap at your local packaging store. To roll up the beers, grab one of the plastic bags with a beer in it and lay it on top of a bubble wrap strip. The long side of the beer should be lined up with one of the ends of the strip. Then, grab the edge of the bubble wrap that the beer is next to and roll the beer and bubble wrap down the length of the strip. When you reach the end, wrap 2-3 rubber bands around the bubble wrap and beer to hold the bubble wrap in place. Repeat with all of the beers.

TL;DR in English: Put each bottle or can in its own gallon-size sealable plastic bag. Cut a 2 foot (61 cm) strip of bubble wrap for each beer. Roll each beer up in a bubble wrap strip.

Exercise regularly, just before a stressful situation, or as a response to anger. Research has shown that exercise tells your body to release helpful endorphins that reduce your body’s stress response and elevate your mood. All of these can help you calm down. Exercise of any kind can have the same helpful effects on anger, so do an activity you typically enjoy (such as running, dancing, or walking). For example, if you know you have a stressful business meeting later in the day, take some time in the morning to go for a run. This will reduce stress and tension, so you are not walking into your meeting wound up. Although it sounds odd, counting can actually help to slow you down when you are tempted to explode or have a tantrum. Focus your thoughts away from the situation and on to your counting and breathing. Count to 10, taking a breath with each count and in between each number. Doing this at a slow pace can help you slow down and become calmer. Continue to count if you still feel angry after reaching 10.  When you're angry, your body releases adrenaline which increases your heart rate, makes you feel flushed, and causes other physical signs of anger or arousal.  Counting gives you a chance to slow down and calm your reactions so that you don't act impulsively. Learn to breathe with your diaphragm, the muscle at the lower part of your lungs. Focus on your breathing and take full, deep breaths that fill the entire lung. Breathe in for 5 seconds, then hold for 5 seconds, and release for 5 seconds. Take 2 normal breaths in between each diaphragm breath, so that you do not hyperventilate and repeat the exercise until you feel calmer.  Breathing signals your body to calm down. It does this by releasing neurotransmitters that tell your brain that you’re ok and safe.  When you're angry, adrenaline can increase your breathing rate, making it feel as though breathing is difficult or that you can't get a full breath. Meditation can help you concentrate, reduce your stress levels, and enable self-awareness. All of...

TL;DR in English: Exercise. Count. Do breathing exercises. Meditate.

Ceiling fans are very effective because they move the air around the room and create a draft. They also pull air up when circulating it, and since hot air rises, this will help to cool the room down faster. If the ceiling fan isn’t already on in the room, turn it on immediately. If your ceiling fan has settings of low, medium and high, put the fan on the highest setting.  Check the ceiling fan blades to see if they’re rotating counterclockwise (if viewing them from below) – if they aren’t, adjust the settings. Setting the blades to rotate counterclockwise and turning the fan on a higher speed will substantially increase airflow. Table fans, box fans, oscillating fans and mounted fans will all help to contribute to air circulation in the room and create a wind-chill effect. A medium-sized oscillating fan placed on a desktop is very efficient at moving around stagnant hot air quickly. Keep multiple fans set up in the room during the summer so you can turn them on as soon as you walk in. Turn on your bathroom ventilation fan, too. The ventilation fan can help suck hot air out of the room, just as it does when you take a steamy shower. Create a makeshift air conditioner by filling up a shallow pan, tray or mixing bowl with ice and positioning it in front of one of the fans. This will get cold, slightly misty air circulating the room very quickly. You could also use icepacks or, if you’re all out of ice, you can effectively improvise with something similarly cold, like a bag of frozen vegetables. Position the bowl at a slight angle, tilted up, if the fan doesn’t seem to be blowing across the ice effectively. The fan will pull hot air out of the room and transfer it outside. It will also bring in cooler air. Put the fan in the window that gets the most shade – this will provide the coolest intake air. Close any other windows nearby tightly. Open a few windows on the other side of your house. This will create a house-wide draft and cool things down quickly.

TL;DR in English: Turn on the ceiling fan(s) and adjust the settings. Turn on any other fans you have at your disposal. Place a tray of ice in front of one of the fans. Position a box fan in an open window, facing out.

The key to cutting pounds is consistency. Consistently carving out time in your day to walk, play sports, or otherwise exercise will help you when it comes time to step on the scale, for two reasons:  You'll shed weight a little at a time instead of in big bursts. It's easier to lose 1/4 pound per day and exercise every day to exercise twice a week and and lose 1 pound per day. It's easier to get into a routine. Once you're in a routine, it'll be easier to find the motivation to work out every day and harder to justify skipping a day. Exercising with a friend is a great way to keep your motivation running high. It's harder to skip a day when your friend is expecting you at the gym. Not only this, but it's an excellent opportunity to strengthen the relationship with your friend. Nothing makes buddies more than sweat and tears. . Interval training involves short bursts of fiendish activity spread out over a longer period of time, and has been found to be particularly effective in burning calories. For example, instead of running around a track the same speed four times to complete the mile, run around the track at regular speed three times, and for the fourth, sprint as fast as you can. Interval training is not only more effective at burning calories than traditional exercise, it's also more efficient. Interval trainers burn more calories quicker than traditional trainers. Some people perk up like birds in the morning; others are night-owls, and take a little longer to rev up. Whatever type person you are, try to exercise whenever you really start going. It doesn't make sense to work out when your tank is empty; you'll get far more return on your investment if you choose to work out at the right time. You want to lose weight, and you want to do it fast. Whatever your reason is, keep it close to your heart, and let it motivate you to keep on trying when you think you can't. Because there will come a time when you want to quit, when you feel like you've given it everything you got, and the desire to quit will be...

TL;DR in English: Be consistent — exercise a little, each and every day. Exercise with a friend. Try interval training Work out when you have the most energy. Keep your inspiration close to your heart. Make sure you sleep enough.

If you do not have a compost pile and do not need much extra fertilizer for your plants, a third option is available for recycling coffee grounds. Begin by collecting the grounds from your coffee maker into a small container just as you would for the other 2 methods. Because coffee grounds work themselves into the soil so quickly, and because plants consume their available nutrients so readily, the grounds can actually be poured directly onto the ground outside.  This method of recycling coffee grounds is only appropriate if you own a piece of outdoor land. You should avoid dumping coffee grounds onto land that you do not own. When doing this, avoid dumping the grounds so that they bury existing plant growth. Instead, consider pouring the grounds around the bases of trees, which are typically self-mulched and devoid of competing plant life already.
