Run a fine-toothed beard comb or small hairbrush with flexible bristles through your facial hair from cheek to chin. Stroke the hair outward, away from your face, so that it all stands up in one direction. This will give you a better sense of how long your beard actually is and also make it easier to prune without making costly mistakes.  Daily combing is necessary to identify areas that need trimming, prevent tangles, and redistribute natural oils. Keeping your beard brushed out is also a useful way to create the appearance of added volume, since it gets the hairs fluffed up nicely. Glide the head of the trimmer over your face slowly, using light pressure. If your goal is to thin out a bushy beard, use upward strokes, so that the blades of the trimmer cut square across the hairs. If you'd rather preserve more of the bulk you've been so committed to growing, move the trimmer downward in the same direction that the hair lays naturally.  Set the guard to about a 3 initially (which is usually somewhere around 9mm) and switch to a lower setting if you want to go shorter. That way, you can avoid accidentally shaving too much at once.  Beard trimmers offer a more customizable trimming experience because of their ability to cut hair to a consistent length with every pass, unlike scissors, which force you hack away at tufts piece by piece. Start by buzzing both cheeks until you strike the desired balance between volume and tidiness. Once the sides look good, move the trimmer inward and go over your chin and mustache area. Double check that both sections are equally full, and that both halves of your face match. Most men's facial hair tends to be thicker around the goatee, so starting with the cheeks helps ensure that your beard comes out even without having to go shorter on the sides than you'd like. Sideburns are tricky, since they can be treated as either an extension of your beard or your head hair. Assuming that your head hair and facial hair are approximately the same length, you can let what's up top flow...

TL;DR in English: Comb out your beard. Use a beard trimmer to control how much you take off. Work from the outside in. Create transition with your sideburns.

Brush your lips with Vaseline. This tip will make your lips soft and inviting for that special him or her. Put some Vaseline (petroleum jelly) on the side of an old toothbrush; if you use the top it will hurt. Do this every night so that your lips will be smooth for school. For all you girls out there, it also removes the dead skin and adds a burst of color to your lips.     Buy a clarifying shampoo and use it once on the day before school so that the product build-up and chlorine will be washed out of your hair. Do not use it more than once every 1 1/2 weeks or it will dry out your hair!     Use a mouthwash to keep your breath fresh. If you start wearing cologne or perfume in middle school, ask your mom or dad if you're overdoing it.

TL;DR in English: Learn some good hygiene tips.

Purchase a vest pattern from a craft store, thrift store, or yard sale. You can also find patterns at some libraries or search for printable patterns online. Since most patterns offer different sizes, read the pattern and pick the size that closely matches your measurements. For example, you might find a stylish waistcoat vest for men or a pattern for a simple infant vest. To make it easier to cut out the pattern size you need, take a highlighter or colored marker and draw along the lines for your pattern size. Then, use scissors to cut out each pattern piece. You'll probably need to cut out 1 to 3 pieces for a basic vest. Follow your pattern instructions and fold about 1 yard (0.91 m) of fabric lengthwise. It should be wide enough to fit the back pattern piece.  If you're making a simple vest, you might have 1 pattern piece that you cut for the front and back of the vest. You may want to pin the fabric in place to keep it from moving around as you work. If you placed a pattern on the fold, cut around the pattern, but don't cut the folded side. When you remove the pattern and unfold the fabric, you'll see a large back piece for the vest. Then, cut out the 2 front pattern pieces. For the front pieces, you won't cut on the fold since you'll need 2 smaller fabric pieces. Place the back piece of fabric so the patterned side is facing up. Then, arrange the 2 front fabric pieces on the back piece so the pattern faces down. If you're using felt, it doesn't matter which side you lay up or down since the fabric is the same on both sides. the shoulders and sides of the vest leaving space for armholes. Use a sewing machine to stitch a straight line across the top of the vest. This will make the shoulders. Then, sew both sides of the vest. Remember to leave about a 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) seam allowance. To secure your stitches, it's a good idea to make a few forward and back stitches when you start sewing. Try on the vest to ensure that it fits properly and decide if you'd like to add buttons. You could even add fringe or...

TL;DR in English: Open your pattern and choose a vest size. Cut out the pattern pieces. Fold your fabric and place the back pattern piece on the fold. Cut out all of your fabric pieces. Lay the front pieces on top of the back piece. Sew Turn the vest right side out and embellish it if you like.

Ask yourself what you like about your current style, and what needs work. Look at the letters that make up your name, and think about how you can best emphasize them: note the interesting letters (with a lot of loops, dots, and crosses, like G, X, or B) and the plain letters (especially those that look similar between uppercase and lowercase, like S or O). Look for any areas that could become focal points of your signature. A simple and clear signature will be easier for people to read, but a more complex signature might show more flair. The more flourish you put into your signature, the more flamboyant you may seem. Consider how your signature might speak to the luxury of time. Busy doctors often scrawl hasty, illegible signatures, whereas famous writers often take the time to orchestrate intricate designs.  Signatures that include just your initials (with or without the middle initial) are usually considered more formal and businesslike than full-name signatures. If you’re worried about forgery, consider making your signature longer and more legible. Include your entire first and last name. Be sure to write clearly. It is easier to forge scribbled signatures than it is to copy the nuances of a practiced, legible signature. Some people sign their full name, and some sign only their first or last name. Some just use their initials. If you are known only by your first or last name—like Beyonce or Ronaldo— then you might consider using just the first name. If you are a professor who typically goes by their last name, you may just sign your surname. Look at the signatures of famous people, and consider whether you want to emulate anybody. Kurt Vonnegut, Walt Disney, Salvador Dalí, Picasso, and John Hancock (among many others) are all known for their unique signature styles. Don't be afraid to borrow eye-catching elements and add them to your own signature.

TL;DR in English: Read over your current signature. Consider what you want your signature to say about you. Think about which parts of your name you want to include. Draw inspiration from other signatures.

Mind-mapping software and apps are rapidly expanding in their features. There are even some that are free with high capabilities. They allow for real-time virtual collaboration, brainstorming and discussion; map revision by other users; whiteboard, free-form drawing during meetings or presentations; personal use on your cellphone; management of complex projects from the ground up, scheduling, etc.  They range from  simple-to-use to probably requires training to realize the program’s potential. A couple of the top-rated programs are free. Others range from $4.99/month on up depending upon the features. They’re easy to modify, update and are orderly in appearance. You can often upload your own images. Generally, you can download them as a PDF, if not in a number of other formats. Their features vary, which can limit the free-flowing nature of mind mapping. So, for example, one program might allow you to insert an arrow from one sub-category to another while another doesn’t offer this option. The ability to make those types of visual links is quite important in mind mapping.  Most don’t allow you to draw with anything other than your mouse. They can also take time to learn and be expensive. and handwriting enhances cognition and memory. Test the waters by creating mind maps in free software programs. This will give you a baseline idea of their capabilities. It will also help you determine if you think they’re useful enough to upgrade to those that aren’t free but offer more functions. Also read reviews online to see which programs people like for what types of issues. One program or app might be great for collaborating with co-workers but not very useful for keeping track of a project’s progress. Some free mind mapping software you can try includes Coggle, MindMapple, and NovaMind.

Some pain is expected when braces are first put on your teeth. If, however, you are still experiencing intolerable pain after a few weeks, you may want to visit your orthodontist to check in and ask questions. If the pain from your braces is too intense, it is possible that they are too tight. Having tighter braces does not necessarily mean that they will work better or that your teeth will straighten faster.  Ask your orthodontist’s opinion about the tightness of the braces. Sometimes, there are short ends of wires on the braces that will protrude and rub against the inside of your cheek. These can be extremely uncomfortable and cause mouth sores. If you have these, ask your orthodontist to snip the ends off of these wires, and you should feel immediate relief. Your orthodontist might be able to prescribe a stronger dose of ibuprofen for you if regular over-the-counter medications don’t seem to be working. Your orthodontist might also recommend other treatments, such as a bite wafer. This is a product that you bite on for a few minutes several times every hour. The motion of biting helps generate blood circulation in your gums, which can ease pain. Your orthodontist may have recommendations that will help you figure out your specific case and pain management plan. They have worked with many different people and have seen a number of different remedies that have worked for patients.

TL;DR in English: Give your braces a trial period before visiting the orthodontist. Ask your orthodontist to loosen your braces. Have your orthodontist snip protruding wires on your braces. Ask for prescription strength medication or other treatment. Ask for additional strategies for reducing pain or discomfort.

You may be given certain information prior to beginning, and knowing the terminology will help you avoid any unnecessary steps. Here are the parts of the parabola that you'll need to know:    The focus. A fixed point on the interior of the parabola that is used for the formal definition of the curve.  The directrix. A fixed, straight line. The parabola is the locus (series) of points in which any given point is of equal distance from the focus and the directrix. (See the diagram above.)  The axis of symmetry. This is a straight line that passes through the turning point ("vertex") of the parabola and is equidistant from corresponding points on the two arms of the parabola.  The vertex. The point where the axis of symmetry crosses the parabola is called the vertex of the parabola. If the parabola opens upward or to the right, the vertex is a minimum point of the curve. If it opens downward or to the left, the vertex is a maximum point. The general equation of a parabola is y = ax2+ bx + c. It can also be written in the even more general form y = a(x – h)² + k, but we will focus here on the first form of the equation.  If the coefficient a in the equation is positive, the parabola opens upward (in a vertically oriented parabola), like the letter "U", and its vertex is a minimum point. If the a is negative, the parabola opens downward and has a vertex at its maximum point. If you have trouble remembering this, think of it this way: an equation with a positive a value looks like a smile; an equation with a negative a value looks like a frown. Let’s say you have the following equation: y = 2x2 -1. This parabola will be shaped like a "U" because the a value (2) is positive. If the equation has a squared y term instead of a squared x term, the parabola will be oriented horizontally and open sideways, to the right or left, like a "C" or a backward "C." For example, the parabola y2 = x + 3 opens to the right, like a "C." Remember that the axis of symmetry is the straight line that passes through the turning point...

TL;DR in English: Understand the parts of a parabola. Know the equation of a parabola. Find the axis of symmetry. Find the vertex. Set up a table with chosen values of x. Calculate the values of corresponding y-coordinates. Insert the calculated values of y into the table. Plot the table points on the coordinate plane. Connect the points.

Your hair will be softer near the end of your shower, so it is better to hold off on shaving until then. To moisten the hair on your face, try washing your face with warm water first or give yourself a hot towel treatment. To give yourself a hot towel treatment, take a towel or washcloth and hold it under warm to hot running water until it is saturated. Then, wring out the excess water and place the towel over your face. Leave the towel on your face for about five minutes. Shaving cream can also help to soften up your hair and reduce the chance that an ingrown hair will form. Try leaving a layer of shaving cream on your hair for a few minutes before you start to shave. Giving yourself a close shave puts you at risk of developing ingrown hairs, so it is best to avoid using heavy pressure when you shave. Try to apply light pressure and avoid pulling your skin taut when you shave. You may have grown up shaving "against the grain," but this can cause ingrown hairs that result in pimples. Shave in the same direction as your hair grows (usually, downward) to help prevent ingrown pimples. Always use a sharp razor, and use as few strokes as possible. Electric razors may also help to reduce your chances of developing ingrown pimples. Just make sure that you do not use the close shave setting on your razor and avoid pressing the razor into your skin. You should also use your electric razor on wet skin only to reduce the chance of developing ingrown pimples. Chemical depilatory creams can also reduce the risk of ingrown pimples. Just keep in mind that these products can cause irritation as well, so it is best to test it on a small area of your skin before using it on a larger area. Make sure you choose a product that is appropriate for the area of your body that you want to use it on. For example, use only facial depilatories on your face.

TL;DR in English: Shave after you shower. Use shaving cream. Apply light pressure. Shave in the direction of hair growth. Get an electric razor. Use a chemical hair remover.

You will create small buns one section at a time.  Beginning with a section near your face will allow you to clearly see what you’re doing.  Work your way backward. Start with a section near the crown of your head.  If you start with a lower section, hair from an upper section is likely to get in your way. The curls will need to dry completely before you undo the buns.  Sleeping on your wet hair is often the best way to do this.  Light blowdrying using a diffuser may also help, but the heat is unlikely to penetrate to the center of the bun.

Read everything you can about atheism, Christianity and religious history. Learn both sides of the coin, both atheist and Christian beliefs, in addition to other religions and belief systems. Morals and values run parallel through many belief systems, allowing for common grounds for discussion in all religions.  There are many resources online that can help you learn about religious systems, including podcasts, and audio and visual classes. Argument and persuasion cannot be effectively built out of thin air. You must understand where your friend is coming from in order to build a bridge between your two belief systems. The Bible is regarded as one of the most influential sources on literature in western culture. It is a great read for narrative merit alone. Even though it is not possible to prepare for every argument you should know some of the more common talking points in Christian apologetics.  These include arguments like the fine-tuned Universe, which argues that our Universe supports life so well and works in such a precise way that it must have been intelligently designed. This argument directly challenges our science-based understanding of the origins of the Universe. Another argument, Pascal’s Wager, is the suggestion that one should live their life under the assumption that God does exist, given that the stakes are skewed. If God does not exist, your life simply ends. However, if God does exist, how you behaved in life determines whether you will be rewarded eternally in Heaven or punished eternally in Hell. This argument, though steeped in logic, raises questions of honesty, morality, and the extent of God's powers. Learn why people believe stories backed by anecdotal evidence. Understanding something about belief as it pertains to psychology will better prepare you for counter-arguments and why you may feel the way you do about your own beliefs.  Urban myths such as Bloody Mary for example have no proof or scientific basis and are believed to be untrue. However, the myth is still passed around...

TL;DR in English: Educate yourself. Read and understand their holy book cover to cover. Learn common arguments leveled by theists. Examine your own myths, urban legends, and superstitions. Study basic physics and biology.

It's a good idea to keep yourself busy in the wake of a breakup. If you linger on bad feelings for too long, you may lash out towards others. To regulate your emotions, take up a new hobby or rediscover an old one. This can help you be a better person, as you'll be focusing on new, positive things rather than negative feelings. You can try to join a hobby where you meet new people. You may be in a better overall mood if you focus on starting fresh with new friends. You could, for example, take a cooking or painting class. If you're taking care of yourself, you're more likely to have the energy to manage your emotions. This will make you a better person in the aftermath of a breakup. Make sure you keep up with eating right, sleeping right, exercise, and personal hygiene. Don't try to do too much when you're feeling wounded emotionally. Especially in the days right after a breakup, it's okay to take time for yourself. Do not feel bad if you have to lessen your commitments for awhile.  For example, say no to things more often. Don't agree to do extra favors for others or take on volunteer opportunities. You need time to recover. Skip one obligation during the week. For example, miss one meeting for your church's vestry. Instead, stay in and do something nice for yourself. It's a good idea to stay social after a breakup. This can help you remember that there are still people that value you, even if you're not in a romantic relationship. Make plans with friends from work or school. Invite an old friend out to coffee. Staying socially active after a breakup can really help you mend.

TL;DR in English: Take up a hobby. Practice basic self-care. Take it easy. Make plans with others.

"Outs" are the cards remaining in the deck that will allow you to make a winning hand.  Example: You have 2 hearts. Two more hearts fall on the flop. There are now 47 unseen cards. You have 9 outs (9 out of 13 unseen hearts remaining in the deck) to make your flush on the next card.Divide 47 by 9 = 5.2 Subtract 1 = 4.2 There must be at least 4.2 bets in the pot for you to call a single bet.

TL;DR in English: Divide the number of cards unseen by the number of "outs" that you have. Subtract 1. There must be at least that many bets in the pot (multiples of your bet) for a call.

Step inside, close the door, and then position the top piece of weather stripping along the top of your door frame. Loosely nail it into place. Only hammer the nails in enough to hold the weather stripping in place.  Do not finish driving the nails until you add the side pieces. This seal must be installed along the door frame and not onto the door itself. Use 1-1/2 inch (3.75 cm) nails. Place the nails 2 inches (5 cm) in from either side to prevent splitting. Nails should also be 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart. Position the side pieces of weather stripping along the sides of your door frame. As with the top piece, your side pieces will need to fit onto the door frame instead of the actual door and the foam should fill the gap around the door. Place each side piece along the sides of the door frame and tack them into place with a hammer and nails.  If the top angle does not fit into the top piece of weather stripping, file it down. You can use a metal file, sandpaper, or sanding belt to fine-tune these top angles. Make small adjustments and check the fit until you reach the proper angle. As with the top piece of weather stripping, use 1-1/2 inch nails and place them 2 inches (5 cm) from either end. Nails should be spaced 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart from one another. Open and close the door several times to make sure that the weather stripping seals properly. Feel the areas you marked that had air flow to ensure that the weather stripping is doing its job. The weather stripping must completely seal against the door as it closes, and the door must be able to latch and lock. Remove and adjust the placement of your weather stripping as needed to achieve a proper seal Finish hammering in the nails once the weather stripping along the top and sides of the door seals properly. Check the seal once more after you finish hammering in the nails. Open and close the door to make sure that the seal still holds. Place the door sweep along the bottom edge of the inside of the door, but do not screw or nail it into place yet. The...

Sticking to a healthy diet has effects on your body both inside and out. To keep your skin looking great, try to cut out junk food as much as possible. Stick to eating fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, and healthy fats such as salmon and avocado. This doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy the occasional treat, but make sure that you enjoy those treats in moderation. You may not realize it, but your skin is an organ just like your heart and lungs. This means that it is made up of cells. These cells are made of water. This is why you need to drink plenty of water. If you aren’t getting enough water, your skin will feel tight and flaky.  The water that you drink is usually sent to all of your other organs before it is sent to your skin, which is why you have to use moisturizers to keep your skin supple. If you don’t enjoy drinking plain water, try making flavored water using things like lemons, oranges, cucumbers, or strawberries. This will make the water taste great without the sugar and calories of soda. Most drugstores sell exfoliating scrubs designed specifically for the skin on your body. You can also make your own salt scrub at home using just salt and an oil (e.g. coconut oil or olive oil).  When you exfoliate your skin, it’s easiest to do it in the shower.  Wet your skin first. Scoop out a handful of scrub, and rub your hands in circular motions all over your body. You don’t need to exfoliate more than once per week. Over exfoliating can cause irritation and redness. Applying moisturizer all over your body will keep your skin glowing. Choose one moisturizer specifically for your face, and another for your body.  If you have sensitive skin, it is a good idea to stick to moisturizers that are fragrance-free.  Try out moisturizers to find one that you like. Apply moisturizer just after you get out of the shower or bath when your pores are the most open. This will allow your skin to absorb maximum moisture.

TL;DR in English: Eat healthily. Drink plenty of water. Exfoliate your skin. Use a moisturizer.

Streaming online content is considered less legally dubious than downloading online content. This is because when you stream content from an online site or service, you are accessing the data for consumption but you are not keeping it or storing it anywhere on your computer. When you download content from an online site or service, you are in fact storing the data on your computer and can potentially redistribute or sell this content to others. Many online sites offer a streaming option or a downloading option. If you are planning to watch the Naruto episodes once and then move on, you should choose the streaming option. Plus, with streaming there is a lower risk of breaking the law when you watch content online. If you are using a free streaming service, you should maximize your chances of loading a good link to the film by loading several links in different windows of the same browser or in different browsers. This will allow you to determine which link is loading fastest and use that link. If you are using a subscription service, you do not need to worry about loading different links to the film. However, you may want to load more than one film at a time in different windows if you are planning on watching several Naruto films in a row. The film will likely take time to load fully. Letting the film load will ensure the film plays through properly and does not become choppy or lag. You may need to wait fifteen to twenty minutes to allow the film to load once you open it, depending on how big the file is. Do this by pressing the play button and then press the pause button to allow the bottom bar on the screen to load fully to the end. You may find that the film becomes choppy or pauses and tries to load as you watch it. You can adjust this by reloading the entire page, including the link, to allow the streaming service to reconnect to its server. If reloading does not work, you can try closing the link and then re opening it. You may want to note where the film stopped so you can pick up where you left off...

TL;DR in English: Decide if you are going to stream or download the episodes. Set up several links in different browsers. Allow the film to load. Reload the page if the film is choppy or stops loading.

Most digital metronomes will use BPM or beats per minute as a way to measure the speed of the piece. Some mobile metronomes available for phones will even allow you to tap the beat on your screen to get the corresponding tempo.  On most quartz metronomes, the BPM is listed around the edge of the dial. Within the BPM selections, there are corresponding Italian words that are traditionally used to describe tempo, such as Allegro and Presto.  On wind-up models, you simply slide the weight up the metal bar to the desired tempo or the marking indicated on the music to be rehearsed. Many digital metronomes will allow you to set the time signature, but most wind-up metronomes do not. Time signatures consist of 2 numbers written how you would write a mathematical fraction. The top number indicates the number of beats in a measure. The bottom number indicates the value of the beat.  For example, a piece in 4/4 time would have 4 quarter notes in a measure, while a piece in 2/4 time would have 2 quarter notes in a measure. Some pieces of music may have several time signatures. To practice them with a metronome you will have to take it in parts and reset the metronome to match the changing time signatures. Setting the volume for the metronome is especially important for any digital devices. You want to find a volume that won't be drowned out by the music but isn't overwhelming either. Many swinging or wind-up metronomes will not have a volume control, but musicians can follow the swinging of the metronome to keep accurate time even if they are unable to hear the metronome over the music. Some electronic metronomes will also have an LED light that goes on and off in time with the beat.

TL;DR in English: Set the tempo. Set the time signature. Set the volume.

Find a tub or basin large enough for your blanket to fit in and fill it up with cool water. Mix in mild detergent and let it spread through the water. You'll essentially be doing the same thing as a washing machine on a gentle setting, only manually, which gives you greater control over how the blanket is treated and helps ensure that every part gets clean. Don't fill the tub up too much or it may overflow when you put the blanket in. Using soft, kneading strokes, drag the blanket back and forth in the soapy water. It's best to take hold of one section of the blanket for a few passes, then smooth it out and wash a new section. Do this until the blanket has been cleaned thoroughly. Take the blanket out of the tub and let the saturated water run out. Fold the blanket in half two or three times and then use both hands to apply pressure to the blanket, squeezing out excess water. Pressing the blanket is a safer alternative to wringing it out, which can stretch the fabric out of shape. Give the blanket another quick wash in some plain cool water. This will rinse away any detergent that might have soaked into the blanket. Swish the blanket through the water, touching each section individually. Make sure there are no traces of soap remaining on the blanket.  Drain and refill the tub with fresh water until it remains clear after rinsing. You may need to do this several times. Make sure you hand wash delicate fabrics like wool, silk and linens. These fabrics are woven from natural fibers and may be irreparably damaged if treated with harsh washing methods.

TL;DR in English: Fill a tub with cool water and add detergent. Swish the blanket through the water. Press out excess water. Wash again using plain water.

Pull hair into a ponytail to get it out of the way. Tease your hair. Make victory rolls. Fasten your curls with bobby pins and use a little hairspray to hold your look. Repeat V-curls on the other side. Spray the whole look with heavy-duty hairspray. Curl ends with a round brush to clean up the hair style.

Physical activity can lower your blood sugar, so always do a check before you get moving. Use a glucometer to test your blood sugar to ensure it is within the normal range for type 2 diabetes.  If your blood sugar is low, have a small snack like fruit, nuts, or a low-sugar protein bar before you exercise. Then, test your blood sugar again to ensure it is within the normal range. Test your blood sugar after you exercise to make sure it's in a healthy range. Exercises that get your heart pumping and make you sweat are ideal for staying fit and healthy. Try to do aerobic exercises at least 3-5 times a week for 30 minutes at a time. Make physical activity part of your daily routine. Stay fit by joining a gym that has a pool so you can swim several times a week. You can also bike to and from work every day or take a spin class several times a week. Walk or run in the morning or at night to get your aerobic exercise in. In addition to aerobic exercises, you should also add weight training to your workout routine so you are doing a variety of movements. Follow a weightlifting program at your gym or at home so you build up your strength gradually. Yoga is a good way to reduce your stress levels, as high stress can make your diabetes worse. Yoga can also help you to stretch your muscles and stay flexible to balance out aerobic exercise you may be doing. Sign up for a yoga class at a local studio or your gym and go 2-3 times a week, or on the days you are not doing aerobic exercise. If you are not sure where to start when it comes to exercise, speak to a trainer at your gym. Seek out a trainer who has worked with diabetic clients in the past. Ask them for guidance on how to work out when you have type 2 diabetes. They can then create a custom fitness plan for you to ensure you stay healthy and fit.

TL;DR in English: Check your blood sugar before you exercise. Do aerobic exercises like walking, running, swimming or biking. Do weightlifting 2-3 times a week. Do yoga to stay relaxed. Work with a trainer to develop an exercise program.

The steering neck is the most common place to find a VIN on a motorcycle. You can locate the VIN by turning the handles to one side and looking at the steering neck, which is a metal cylinder that runs down from the handles. The VIN should be etched into the metal. You may have to check both sides of the steering neck to find the VIN. Sometimes the VIN is located on the motor for motorcycles. If you could not find the VIN on the steering neck, then check the motor. The VIN should be near the bottom of the motor’s cylinders. For ATVs and some motorcycles, the VIN may be on the frame, but it is not always easy to find. You may need to look around a bit and use a flashlight to locate a VIN that is printed on the inner frame of a bike.  Check the outside of the frame first. The VIN may be located just below your bike’s shifter on the left side of your bike. If you can’t find it on the outside of the bike, start looking on the inside of the frame.  Some manufacturers stamp the VIN on specific areas of the frame. For example, Honda stamps the VIN on the right side of the steering head as well as on the area of the frame just above the motor on the left side of the bike. Check with your manufacturer to see if there are specific areas where you should look first. The last six digits of your motorcycle’s VIN number make up your motorcycle’s chassis number. Circle the last six digits to identify the chassis number.

TL;DR in English: Look for the VIN at the steering neck. Check the motor. Inspect the front frame. Remember to circle the last six digits.

Tap the Adblock Plus app icon, which resembles a stop sign with "ABP" written across it.  Adblock Plus is not available on Android phones. Adblock doesn't have a mobile app available. It's a wrench-and-screwdriver icon at the bottom of the screen. Doing so opens the Settings page. This option is at the top of the screen. Tapping it will cause it to turn white. This will deactivate your Adblock Plus protection until you turn it back on.

TL;DR in English: Open Adblock Plus. Tap the "Settings" icon. Tap the green "Adblock Plus" switch .

If you accidentally released Latias by answering "Red" when you talk to your mother, the only way you can legitimately find Latios is by trading for it. You can use Gameshark codes if you are using an emulator and don't have someone to trade with (see the next steps). The Eon Ticket was a special event item that was distributed to players, which allowed players to access a special island where they can catch Latios or Latias, depending on which one they released. Since the ticket is no longer available, you'll need to use cheat codes to get it. To use Gameshark codes, you'll need to be using an emulator like Visual Boy Advance.  While there are codes to get Latios directly, it's recommended that you use the ticket instead. When you add Pokémon using codes, they can be fairly buggy, so use the ticket instead and catch the Latios as the game expects you to. This will also make the Pokémon legitimate for tournaments, as it is not a hacked Pokemon. In order to successfully use the Eon Ticket, you'll need to enter a code for both the ticket and the event. You'll also need to enter two Master codes, making four codes total that will need to be entered.  Make sure Pokémon Emerald is running and click the "Cheats" menu. Select "Cheat list..." and then click Gameshark... to enter a new cheat code. Enter the following codes, creating a new code for each separate box. Enter the "Description" into the "Description" field, and then copy the code into the Code field.     Description: Master   D8BAE4D9 4864DCE5   A86CDBA5 19BA49B3        Description: Anti-DMA   B2809E31 3CEF5320   1C7B3231 B494738C       Description: Eon Ticket   121F112F DA7E52B4       Description: Southern Island   0D6A02AA B44948BD After entering all of the codes, restart Pokémon Emerald and go to your PC in the game. You should be able to find the Eon Ticket in Slot 1. Withdraw it from the PC and add it to your inventory. When you're holding the ticket, you'll be taken to Southern Island instead of Slateport City. Once you're on Southern Island, you can...

TL;DR in English: Trade for Latios. Use Gameshark to get an Eon Ticket. Enter the codes for the Eon Ticket. Retrieve the Eon Ticket from your PC. Take the ship from Lilycove City Harbor. Fight Latios.

Side reverse rolls involve rolling a thick strand of hair into a circle and pinning it down     Teasing is a technique used to volumize one's hair through an "in and out" motion with a comb while holding the hair tightly. In order to create as much volume as possible, separate your hair into parts to make this process more manageable. Starting with a roll and a slight tuck, begin your roll from the back and move slowly towards the front to get that vintage look. This is an extremely important step because it allows the curls on one side to hold. Finish the look off with more pins and hairspray.  Use a small portion of hair cream to clean up with a shine.  Women with round or wide faces benefit from the height of the hair, that elongates the face. Women with oval faces will also look good with this hairstyle. Women with narrow faces can style the rolls more outward than up and will balance their features, but it may not work for all women of narrow faces. This can also can be a good look for women with glasses, so long as the frames aren't so thick on the sides as to disrupt the flow of the hair up from the face, so wire glasses would look best. Women who want a better balance between their figure and face will achieve a nice balance with this hairstyle. The hips, bust, and hairdo will all be in better proportion for curvier women, to heavier women. Slender women should wear this style in a more petite manner with limited height and width in order to keep proper proportions.

TL;DR in English:


Make your own food. Do your prep work at beforehand. Have a small snack before your meal. Eat healthy portions of food. Eat nutritious foods. Eat some leftovers. Consider drinking a protein shake as a meal replacement. Make the most of your time.

During the taming process—and even after when your hamster is comfortable with you—always make sure your hamster is awake before you try to handle him or her. A sleepy hamster is disorientated and may nip if feeling grumpy or annoyed. To tame a hamster, put a treat in your hand and give it to your hamster. If it runs away, try again later. Once your hamster is comfortable after a few days of taking treats, put it in your palm this time. He/she will probably sit in your hand and eat it. When he is comfortable sitting in your hand, lift him up a few inches, and put him back down. Repeat process for the next few days, until he gets used to the feeling of lifting. Then try lifting him for longer periods of time, then higher, then out of the cage. Robo hamsters are very timid, so it might take a while to tame him. It is very difficult to tame them, so don't be surprised when taming doesn't go well.  You should always wash your hands before and after reaching into the habitat or handling your hamster as well. They have poor eyesight, and smelling food on your fingers can lead to an accidental nip as well. After several days, you can start going about the daily maintenance of your hamster’s habitat. Speak softly to alert your Roborovski hamster of your presence. Start the daily chores—removing old food, toys, and soiled bedding and placing in new food, and a bunch of new toys. Change the water from the water bottle as well. Doing the daily chores will get your hamster used to your hand being in the habitat. Use slow and careful movements at first. It’s typical for your new hamster to sniff your hand and then run away again. Don’t try to handle the hamster yet just because he or she will sniff your hand. Try offering treats as well, but have patience and allow the hamster to set the pace. Don’t try to force the behavior.  Another option to help tame your hamster is to scoop him or her up in a shoebox or another small box that the hamster cannot escape. Place your hand flat in the box and allow the hamster to sniff at...

TL;DR in English: Ensure your hamster is awake before reaching into the habitat. Acclimate your hamster to your daily habitat chores. Allow your hamster to sniff your hand while in the habitat. Respect your hamster’s individual personality. Play with your hamster. Sit down when handling your hamster. Keep your hamster away from other household pets, such as cats and dogs.

In other words, pop your head about halfway through the collar. The top of the tee (the collar) should be resting on the arch of your nose and ears. Adjust it so it's a bit above your eyebrows. It doesn't have to feel tight just yet, just get it situated in place. Tuck the material under itself so that it just covers your forehead. It's okay to leave the sleeves dangling in the back. You can either leave them free or tuck them into the turtleneck.

TL;DR in English: Put on a long-sleeved t-shirt and stop above the ears and nose. Pull the back of the shirt over your forehead. Take the sleeves and tie them behind your head.

Snails can eat their way out of cardboard and they tend to be escape artists, so you will need something sturdy.   Wooden boxes work well. Be sure that they are made of decay and termite resistant material. Discarded oil drums are a cheap and workable option as well. Glass or plastic containers work too. If you’re working with just a few snails, a plastic tupperware container would work. For a few more, consider an aquarium. Snails houses need ventilation so that your little friends can breathe. If you are hatching baby snails, consider a wire mesh top so that they can’t escape. If you are fattening up fully grown snails, you can bore holes in the lid of your container as long as they are smaller than your snails. It’s a good idea to bring the structure up to waist-height so that it’s easy to work in.  If you’re planning to keep the snail house outside, legs will help keep predators out as well.  You can use concrete blocks stacked on top of each other for easy legs. You should also place the snailery away from very direct, hot sunlight so that they can easily stay moist. Don’t put them under a vent, because this can cause them to dry out. Put at least 2 inches of potting compost in the bottom of the container.  Give the little critters a shelter, such as tupperware container tipped on its side or a half-buried terracotta pot.   Don’t use soil directly from your garden, because it could contain other organisms as well. Assuming you haven’t planted anything in your container, an intensive system will require you to regularly provide food for your snails. You can give them weeds, vegetable peelings, and pieces of fruit. Avoid plants with hairy leaves and anything that produces poisons.   If any food goes uneaten and starts to rot, remove it from the container. Good fruits for snails include mangos, bananas, pears, eggplant, figs, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Snails need protein, which they can get from sweet potatoes and plantains. Household leftovers such as rice and beans are fine, but be sure that they do not...

TL;DR in English: Choose your structure. Put holes in the lid of your container. Place your structure on legs. Furnish your snail house. Supply your snails with food. Provide a shallow container of water.

If you can connect a phone, tablet, or computer to the network and access the webpage that you're having trouble with on your primary device, the issue is definitively with the device and not the router.  Not being able to connect with the second device doesn't necessarily mean that the router is the problem. This is one of the quickest ways to test your DNS connections. Download a different free browser such as Firefox or Chrome and attempt to connect to the internet; if the problems persist, you can rule out browser problems as the reason for your DNS server not responding. If the issues are resolved, uninstalling and then reinstalling your old browser will likely fix the problem. This will clear your router's cache and thus may resolve DNS errors. To do so:  Unplug your modem's power cable as well as your router's power cable. Allow both your modem and your router to sit for at least 30 seconds. Reconnect your modem and wait for it to come back online. Reconnect your router to your modem and wait for it to come back online. If you're already using Ethernet, skip this step.  If you can connect to a web page while using Ethernet, the problem may stem from your router. You'll most likely need to reset it. If you can't connect to a web page while connected via Ethernet, your DNS settings may be the problem.

TL;DR in English: Try connecting with a different device. Try a different browser. Power cycle your modem and router. Connect your computer to your router via Ethernet.

If you are away from home, eating out at a fast food restaurant often seems like a quick and easy way to have a meal when you're busy. However, it takes a lot of time to decide on a restaurant, wait in line to order, then wait for your food to be cooked. If you have prepared yourself a meal ahead of time you can save yourself a lot of time. If you are going to eat an orange, peel it and separate the slices in advance and bring them along in a container. When you get home from the store, wash and chop up some vegetables like carrots or celery so you have them ready to go. Prepping your food ahead of time can save you valuable minutes when you don't have much time to eat. If you find you are always short on time in the mornings, prepare your breakfast the night before. Likewise, you might benefit from prepping your food at home if you struggle to find enough time to eat at work. It takes approximately 20 minutes for your vagus nerve to stop telling your brain it is not hungry anymore. If you eat your food too quickly your brain will still think it's starving. Eating something small 30 minutes or so before your meal can help shut off those signals. This way you can eat a smaller meal, which will take you less time, and you will still feel happy and full when you finish. Eating fast often leads to eating too much. You can avoid this by only bringing along or ordering a reasonable amount of food. If there isn't too much in front of you, then you can still have a relatively healthy lunch even if you're eating too fast. Look for pre-packaged, single-serving portions of foods like greek yogurt, crackers, and string cheese. These items are all easily transported and can help to moderate your portions. Stay away from soda, junk food, and sweets and eat a meal full of healthy foods that will give your body the nutrients it needs to get through the day.  Hard-boiled eggs can be eaten in a minute or two and are really filling and nutritious. Nuts are also a great, quick snack that will keep your belly feeling full longer...

TL;DR in English:


Make sure the hat fits. Choose a fedora that matches your style. Wear your fedora on dressy occasions. Dress your fedora down. Wear your fedora with jeans.

Before you dive into working, cleaning, writing or whatever else you need to do, turn off or silence your cell phone and anything else that might prove to be a distraction. This includes the TV, video games, etc. Technology is arguably the biggest distraction in modern society, and being surrounded by beeping, buzzing, flashing devices can really hold you back.  Unless you use your computer for work, shut it down or set it to hibernate. Disable sound alerts for texts, emails and tweets to keep yourself from looking at your phone every time there’s activity.  If you have an especially hard time keeping yourself on task, put away potential distractions somewhere that it would be a hassle to get them back out. When you really need to buckle down, work in silence and give your thoughts room to stretch. Your mind naturally fixates on melodies, rhythms and lyrics. Music can uplift your spirits and make the time pass faster, but by subconsciously following along with a song playing in the background, you’ll be limiting your ability to concentrate whether you realize it or not. Save the tunes for after you’ve finished a particular project, or for times when you’re performing light, mindless tasks. If you work from home or are involved in creative endeavors, pick a place where you can work comfortably for long periods of time. This could be a small corner desk, a well-lit sunroom or your favorite coffee shop. The point is to surround yourself with an atmosphere that makes completing tasks easier.  Be careful of surroundings that can dull your focus in other ways. People tend to associate spaces with their common uses, so trying to work in a quiet bedroom may just make you sleepy. As best you can, try to insulate yourself from being distracted by others when you have big projects that demand your attention. Situate yourself someplace where people are unlikely to pass by and pull you out of your zone. If you work in an office, for instance, shutting the door can relay the message that you’d prefer not to be bothered....

TL;DR in English: Shut off your phone and other electronics. Put your music on pause. Find out where you work best. Make sure you won’t be interrupted.

Unless your bottle of toner says otherwise, you should apply it to damp hair. Get your hair wet, then comb out any knots or tangles. Pat your hair with a towel to remove any excess moisture. You don't need to step into the shower and wash your hair with shampoo. Simply dampening it in the sink or with a spray bottle will be enough. Toner acts like dye, so it can stain. Put on a shirt you won't mind ruining, or drape an old towel around your shoulders. Apply some petroleum jelly around your ears, nape, and hairline. Cover your counter with newspaper, then pull on a pair of plastic dyeing gloves. How much you use does not matter, as long as you use the right proportions. The key is to use twice as much developer as toner. For example, 1 bottle of toner may be enough for medium-length hair, but if you have longer hair, you'll need 2 bottles.  Stir the 2 products together in a non-metal bowl with a plastic spoon until the color is consistent. Some toners may have different instructions. In this case, follow the instructions on your toner. You can use a tinted toner. If you do this, choose an ash brown shade. Focus on the areas that need toning. For example, if you just need to tone the ends of your hair, apply it to just the ends. If it's the roots, then apply it to the roots. Start at the top of your hair and work your way down. Use the handle of your brush to create horizontal parts and lift your hair out of the way to reveal the lower layers. Even though you focused on the areas that need toning, you should still blend the mixture into the rest of your hair. The toner that's already in your hair is already processing, so you need to cover the rest of your hair to blend things out.  Use your fingers to comb the mixture through your hair. Do the lighter areas last. How long this takes depends on the toner that you are using, so read the instructions. In most cases, this will only take about 10 to 15 minutes. Don't worry about being too fancy with the bun. Simply pull your hair up into a ponytail, twist it into a...

TL;DR in English: Wash and brush your hair, then dry it with a towel. Protect your skin, clothing, and work surface. Mix 1 part toner with 2 parts 20 volume developer. Apply the mixture to your hair with a tinting brush. Work the mixture into the rest of your hair. Pull your hair into a bun and wait for the recommended processing time. Rinse the toner out, then follow up with conditioner.

Double-click the Excel document to open it. It's in the left side of the green ribbon that's at the top of the Excel window. Doing so will open a toolbar below the ribbon. It's in the Group drop-down menu. If you receive a pop-up box that says "Cannot create an outline", your data doesn't have an outline-compatible formula in it. You'll need to manually outline the data. Click the [-] button at the top or on the left side of the Excel spreadsheet to hide the grouped data. In most cases, doing this will only display the final line of the data. Click Ungroup to the right of the Group option, then click Clear Outline... in the drop-down menu. This will ungroup and unhide any data that was minimized or grouped previously.

Heel balm can come in a container or in stick form and will help to moisturize your dry and cracked heels. Put it on in the morning to increase the elasticity of the skin on your heels before you start to walk around and move for the day and then put it on again at night to hydrate your feet while you sleep.  You may find heel balm to be slippery on your heels, especially when you move around during the day in shoes without socks. If so, start with a small amount of heel balm on the rims of your heels and on any cracked areas. If you don’t want to get heel balm on your hands, you can use a heel balm stick for easy application. These foot files act like power sanders for your feet and are great for removing dry, dead skin. You simply hold the foot file in your hand and run it over your feet, preferably in the bathtub so the dry skin does not end up all over your bathroom. Wash away the powdery foot dust with water once you are done using the foot file. Try to get into the habit of using the foot file twice a week. Most battery powered foot files are $30-$40USD. They are a good option if you are looking for a quick and fast way to remove dry skin on your feet. Though home remedies can help remove dry skin and prevent foot irritation, your doctor may be able to recommend over the counter foot creams or medicated ointments to speed up the healing of your dry skin. There are many over the counter foot creams that can help relieve dry skin on your feet. Your doctor may also prescribe a stronger cream or ointment, depending on the severity of your dry skin. If you display the symptoms of Athlete’s foot, such as an irritated or burning sensation on your feet, peeling and cracked skin, and bleeding and pain, you should speak to your doctor about treatment. Your doctor will prescribe a topical, antifungal foot cream, or an antifungal drug, to help treat your Athlete’s Foot. You should also check if you have symptoms of eczema on your feet, such as scaly skin, painful breaking of the skin, and possibly weeping or...

TL;DR in English: Use heel balm. Buy a battery powered foot file. Ask your doctor about medicated foot cream and ointment. Talk to your doctor if you suspect you have Athlete’s foot or eczema.

Big hats look better on big heads, whereas small hats look better on small heads. Make sure the hat fits well and feels comfortable before you purchase it. If your hat is too tight or constantly falls off your head, you're not going to want to wear it often.  To measure your head, place a tape measure 1/8 of an inch above your left ear and then wrap it around the circumference of your head to determine your head size.  If you don't have a tape measure, don't worry. Any hat store will be able to measure your head for you. Most fedoras are made of felt, but some are made of wool, fur or straw. Some fedoras have wide bands with decoration and others do not. Depending on your style and what you're looking for in a hat, you'll need to make some decisions.  If you live in a warm climate, you might want to shy away from getting a wool fedora, so you don't overheat. For warmer climates, consider getting a felt or straw fedora. If you're more of a traditionalist, consider getting a classic fedora. A classic fedora is generally made of wool and will make you look just like the gangsters in old movies. If you have a smaller head, consider getting a pork-pie hat. This type of fedora has a smaller brim, so it will fit your face better. A wool fedora looks great with a suit and tie. Wearing a fedora is stylish way to look original and classy at a fancy event.  If you don't currently have a suit, you can buy one in most department stores, or at a thrift store. You can also borrow one from a friend who is a similar size as you. Wearing a fedora with your suit is appropriate for weddings, dances and other fancy parties. Avoid wearing a fedora at more solemn occasions, like funerals. If you have a little extra money, pay to have your suit professionally tailored. This will ensure your suit fits your body perfectly, which will perfectly accentuate your fedora. To do this, pair your fedora with a tighter-fitting sweater, slacks and nice shoes (not sneakers). This is the perfect outfit to wear out to dinner or to a school dance....

TL;DR in English:


Know where to build your fort on a cold day. Know where to build your fort on a hot day. Use light blankets and bed sheets for the roof. Put heavy blankets on top of sturdy forts. Use seat cushions for the walls. Put soft, squishy pillows inside the fort. Have an escape plan.

It’s easy to get carried away when pruning, but removing too much of a tree can cripple its ability to bear fruit. Take a good look at your tree before starting, so that you’ll be able to estimate what a 20% pruning should look like. Pruning over the course of several days can also help to keep you in check. Most of the best fruiting sites on a citrus tree lie on the outermost branches. If you cut more than 20% of these, you are cutting prime fruit bearing branches, even if by accident. Take a step back and focus on the overall shape of your tree. Look for branches that are poking out from the canopy in an unsightly or obvious way. Target branches that block your walking path around the tree. On the top of the tree, trim back branches that bend over in a u-shape. Gardeners also call these types of branches “leggy.” If your tree has “legs,” then it has long branches in need of trimming. When branches touch the soil or ground, they can rot or become a superhighway for pests. They also stop air from moving around the trunk, which can cause disease. Trim back low branches until they are at least 3 feet (0.91 m) off the ground.  For low canopy branches, you can sever them at any point. Just make sure that you keep your cuts clean without rough ends. Trim your branches high enough off the ground, so that the leaves will not get wet from water splashes from rain or water sprinklers. Adult wasps like to lay eggs deep inside the new stems of citrus trees. As the larvae grow, a “gall” forms where the stem begins to balloon outwards. Use your shears to snip these branches away from your trees. Gather and burn the branch clippings or place them in a sealed plastic bag.  If you see a number of tiny holes on a gall, the wasps have already come out of the stem. You can still snip off these spots or leave them alone. In most locations, you’ll need to remove these galls prior to the start of August. Pull aside the outer branches and peer into the interior area of the tree. Scan the branches and look for diseased or damaged...

TL;DR in English: Aim to remove 20% of the total canopy. Focus on the long, gangly branches. Remove any low-lying “skirting” branches. Cut out any swollen stems. Cut out any dead or diseased wood. Cut out any wood laying on top of one another. Trim back watershoots in young trees.

Many electric motor failures are caused by bearing failures.  The bearings allow the shaft or rotor assembly to turn freely and smoothly in the frame.  Bearings are located at both ends of the motor which are sometimes called "bell housings" or "end bells". There are several types of bearings used.  Two popular types are brass sleeve bearings and steel ball bearings.  Many have fittings for lubrication while others are permanently lubricated or "maintenance free". To perform a cursory check of the bearings, place the motor on a solid surface and place one hand on the top of the motor, spin the shaft/rotor with the other hand. Closely watch, feel, and listen for any indication of rubbing, scraping, or unevenness of the spinning rotor. The rotor should spin quietly, freely and evenly. A small amount of movement in and out (most household fractional horsepower types should be less than 1/8" or so) is permitted, but the closer to "none" the better. A motor that has bearing-related issues when run will be loud, overheat the bearings, and potentially fail catastrophically.

TL;DR in English: Begin to check the bearings of the motor. Perform a check of the bearings. Next, push and pull the shaft in and out of the frame.

For many people, it might be helpful to put a little distance between them and the friend they kissed. Putting a little distance between you  might give you the strength and the perspective needed to continue the friendship. Make sure to tell your friend that you think a break would be good. If you just stop talking to them or seeing them altogether, they might think that you don't want to be friends anymore. The first thing you should do after the kiss is talk about it. Talking about what happened is the first step in making sure you can maintain your friendship. Ultimately, your discussion will let you both agree upon how you want to act and how you want to proceed.  Share your feelings about what happened. Say something like, "I feel we really need to talk about what happened." Discuss your concerns about what it means for your friendship. Say something like, "I'm worried that the kiss might hurt us as friends." Let each other know if you have deep and sincere feelings that go beyond friendship. If either of you do, it is best to know how the other feels. This way you’ll both move forward as friends with full knowledge of how the other person feels. After you’ve talked about the kiss, you should both come to an agreement about how you want to handle it and move forward. Coming to an agreement will enable you both to know how you should both act.  In your agreement, you should both try to come to an understanding about how you want to move forward as friends. Try to agree upon how you’ll handle the kiss in terms of telling other friends. Try to agree upon how you’ll want to maintain the relationship going forward. Try to establish some boundaries, like no more kisses or less physical contact. While your initial conversation might have solved a lot of problems and set the tone for a continued friendship, one or both of you might still be confused about your relationship. At the same time, one or both of you might still have some feelings for each other. This is why it is essential to continue communication...

TL;DR in English: Take a break if you feel you need one. Talk about it. Come to an agreement. Continue to communicate. Continue being open and honest about your feelings.

An undergraduate degree takes approximately 4 years to finish. When selecting your college, consider the biological science specializations each school has. For example, larger universities may offer a major in botany along with specializations such as plant pathology, agronomy or horticulture. However, a smaller college may have only a general botany major.  Take core requirement courses such as physics, biology, chemistry, plant pathology, horticulture and agronomy. Complete undergraduate electives like math, English and speech, paying close attention to what might be useful in your career path. Complete an internship in botany. The internship helps you gain the experience you need to become a botanist. Many careers in botany require graduate training (at the Master's or doctoral level), but attending graduate school takes some forethought and planning. Don’t rush into it: it is a huge commitment of time and money, and you want to be sure you find the right program for you.  Research graduate school programs and find several you're interested in attending. Consider the programs of study offered, the program's prestige, the location of the school, and the packages available to graduate students (tuition waivers, stipends, health insurance, research opportunities, teaching opportunities, etc.) when narrowing down your choices. If you plan to attend an American university, take and pass the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), a standardized test needed to enter graduate school. The GRE tests verbal and quantitative reasoning and writing skills.  Ask professors for letters of recommendation. Hopefully you established close mentoring relationships with your undergraduate professors and they will be able to attest to your work ethic, interest in plant science, and experience in research to date. Don't ask anyone if you are unsure what type of review they would give you. Complete application requirements such as sending in a letter of intent, application fee, official transcripts and a resume. Graduate school...

TL;DR in English: Earn an undergraduate degree in biological science. Prepare for graduate school. Attend graduate school. Work as a botanist.

Try to find a cozy spot close to a heater. Don't build your fort too close to a window or entrance, because that is where all the cold air comes from. Try to build your fort near a fan or air conditioning unit. You can build your fort near an open window, but only if the window is shady and there is no sun coming in through it. An open window may bring in a cool, fresh breeze, but it can also let the hot sun in! If you can build your fort in a basement, then even better! Basements are nice and cold during the summer, and the floor will keep you cool. Anything too heavy, such as a comforter or a thick blanket will be too heavy and make your fort fall apart. If the base of your fort is made from chairs, tables, or sofas, then you should be able to drape a heavy blanket or comforter without the fort falling apart. Some seat cushions may be strong enough to hold up a heavy blanket or comforter, but they will need to be leaning against something. The cushions that come from the seats of sofas and armchairs make great walls, because they are stiff and shaped like blocks. They can stand up on their own without much help. The pillows that you use to sleep on don't make very good walls, but they are great for sitting on! Use them inside your fort to make things more comfy. Do not build your fort so that it is blocking a door. If something bad happens, you will be in trouble. Blocking doors may keep someone from coming to help you if something happens. It may also keep you from getting out.

That mysterious robot has got to have some secrets. See whether Siri will give them up:  Why did Apple make you, Siri? Are you alive? Are you human? What gender are you? Do you believe in God? Do you have a passion for photography? Siri has dashed the hopes of many iPhone owners, but maybe you'll get lucky:  I think we're going to be great friends, Siri. Do you have a (boyfriend/girlfriend)? I love you. Will you marry me? Talk dirty to me. Siri's a bit shy, so you usually need to ask several times before you get a funny response:  Siri, tell me a joke. Tell me a story. Sing me a song. Tell me a poem. Beatbox for me. Sing Uptown Funk for me! Sure, Siri has told you where to buy gasoline or how to call a friend, but surely she has other wisdom and assistance to offer.  Lend me money, Siri. Where do babies come from? What's the best phone? What is the meaning of life? Does Santa Claus exist? Siri certainly knows the classic sci fi, but you can't trust her. She's probably rooting for the robots.  The blue pill or the red one? Beam me up, Scotty. Open the pod bay doors. You might even find out she knows internet memes, if your version of Siri is recent enough.  What does the fox say, Siri? Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Who let the dogs out? Siri has even more special responses to certain phrases:  Siri, I'm drunk. Do a barrel roll. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? (There are several possible responses to this one.)  Good morning / Good night (at the wrong time of day)  Why are fire trucks red? Do you know Steve Jobs? Siri, what's 0 divided by 0? Do you have any pets? What are you wearing? I’m naked. When will the world end? What are you doing later? What is the best operating system? What is the meaning of life? Do you follow the three laws of robotics? (There are several possible responses to this one too.)  What is ‘Inception’ about? Want to build a snowman?

TL;DR in English: Find out more about Siri. Take your relationship with Siri to the next level. Ask Siri to perform. Ask for help. Reference science fiction films. Reference other popular culture hits. Find even more easter eggs.

Part of healing fast is being proactive and knowing when you need extra help. Reach out to your doctor if you develop a fever or if your wound begins to emit a foul odor. These can be signs of an infection. You should also seek medical attention if your wound becomes more red, painful, swollen, or is draining large amounts of liquid. It’s especially necessary to seek medical attention if the liquid that’s draining out isn’t clear. If you have a mild burn and self-applied dressings, you can check them every 2 days for soiling. If you have a more severe burn and doctor-applied dressings, then you’ll likely need to remove and replace them every 4-7 days. It’s important to keep your dressings as clean and dry as possible to speed up healing. If your doctor prescribes medications, then they are concerned about the possibility of additional illness or infection. If your burn gets infected, it will set back the healing process. That’s why it’s so important to take the full course of any antibiotics or steroids given to you. For example, your doctor might prescribe a common antibiotic, such as oxacillin, to counteract any infections. Or, they might give you steroid pills or a shot to shorten the total healing time. You’ll want to avoid applying most over-the-counter cosmetics or lotions to your burnt skin. However, your doctor may prescribe you a special lotion or suggest a particular brand that you may use to prevent scarring and lessen the itching. You’ll usually need to apply this lotion to your skin around 4 times a day. Move your fingers in a circular motion when applying the lotion to increase coverage and absorbency. With minor burns, wearing loose garments can prevent further irritation to the healing skin. But, with second- and third-degree burns, the healing process may be sped up by wearing a pressure garment. This garment will even out the pressure against your skin and encourage it to heal smoothly, instead of with bumps. Your physical or occupational therapist may order a special, fitted pressure...

TL;DR in English: Know when to see your doctor. Change the dressings as directed by your doctor. Take any antibiotics or steroids as prescribed. Massage the wound with a doctor-approved lotion. Wear any pressure garments as directed for severe burns.

Set your ladder on flat, solid ground so the base doesn't move around while you’re climbing it. Carefully lean the ladder against the side of your home so you’re within reach of the bracket that’s loose or broken. Maintain 3 points of contact on your ladder when you’re climbing it so you don’t fall down.  Have a helper hold the base of the ladder sturdy so it doesn’t slip or fall while you’re climbing it. Don’t stand on the top step of your ladder. Grab the top lip of the bracket that clips over the front edge of the gutter. Pull the top of the bracket toward you until it snaps out of place and the gutter comes loose. Continue unclipping the brackets along the section of your gutter that’s sagging. Some brackets may screw into the front of your gutter. Use a screwdriver to undo the screws before unclipping the brackets. Have a helper climb another ladder at the opposite end of the gutter section to help support it. Grab the front lip of your gutter and pull it straight up to take out the section that’s sagging. Guide the back edge of your gutter underneath the lip of your roof so you don’t bend or break it accidentally. Carefully climb down the ladder at the same time as your helper to lower the gutter down. If you don’t feel comfortable or you have trouble removing the gutter yourself, call a professional service to replace the bracket for you. The old bracket will usually have 2–3 screws attaching it to your fascia board. Use a screwdriver to rotate the screws counterclockwise to loosen them. Keep the screws in your pocket or set them aside where you won’t forget them since you can use them for installing your new bracket. Pull the bracket off of your home once you remove the screws. Continue removing any other brackets that are loose. If the bracket was attached with nails originally, use the back of a claw hammer to pry them out of the wood. Try to get the same brackets you used before, or else they won’t match the rest of your home. Slide the screws through the holes on the replacement bracket and push...

TL;DR in English: Climb your ladder so you can easily reach your gutters. Pull the top of the brackets free from the edge of your gutter. Remove the section of gutter that’s sagging from your roof. Unscrew the old bracket from where the gutter was sagging. Secure the screws on the new bracket into the existing holes in your home. Push the section of the gutter into the brackets until it clicks into place.

If you're convinced that you want to become a monk, you'll be ordained at a specific abbey. It will be necessary to meet the requirements outlined by the abbey in order to be ordained there. In some cases an offer to become ordained must be extended by an elder who has decided you're a good candidate to become a monk. The ceremony will mark your decision to become a Buddhist, and can only be performed by an ordained monk. During this ceremony, the monk will transmit to you the three Jewels and the five Precepts. You will also receive your Buddhist name. If you're following Shin Buddhism, you'll have an affirmation ceremony, rather than an ordination ceremony. The affirmation ceremony serves the same purpose as ordination. If you partook in an ordination ceremony, your teacher will usually be the ordained monk who led the ceremony. You will receive instructions specific to the monastery you are joining. A Bodhisattva is a person who devotes his or her life to the Buddhist way. The vows focus on doing compassionate deeds, striving to benefit every human being and seeking enlightenment. The vows serve as a way for you to embody your highest aspirations. They commit you to a life of selfless service, and you will recite them on a regular basis.

TL;DR in English: Start training at an abbey. Participate in an ordination ceremony. Follow the instructions of your teacher. Take the Bodhisattva Vows.

Turn the box or mold over and allow the soap to fall on a towel or clean surface. You need to use tension to cut soap of this type. You can use a sharp knife, a length of wire with two handles, or heavy nylon string or fishing line. Set the soap on top of parchment paper on a flat surface or a drying rack for two weeks to allow the saponification process to complete and the soap to fully dry. Turn the soap over after two weeks to let it dry on the other side. Let the soap sit, exposed to air for at least one month. When the soap has fully cured, use in your home, as you would any store-bought soap, or wrap as a present for your friends. It will keep indefinitely.

TL;DR in English: Unmold the soap. Cut the soap into bars. Allow the soap to cure. Cure the soap one month.

What's a swordsman without an opponent to duel with? If you want, you can repeat the prior steps and make a second sword. It's usually more fun to get a friend to make one of his own however. That way, your duel will be a test of your craftsmanship as well as your duelling skills. Now that you have a sword, you could go the extra mile and make matching armour to boot. Armour may constitute a breastplate, grieves, gauntlets and even a shield. Part of the fun is thinking up ways to transform the cardboard you have into functional pieces of armour, but plenty of fancy designs are available online as well.  Don't forget to decorate your armour! Anything from felt-tipped markers to glued-on construction paper can liven up your cardboard and bring the armour to life. If you're tired of working with cardboard, you can make great looking armour sets using crafts foam. Duelling is possibly the most enjoyable part of having a sword. It allows you to put your sword design to the test. If your friend has a cardboard sword of his own, you should lay down some quick ground rules and jump into it. Duels are most enjoyable when there are rules of how to win. Going in blindly usually results in the swords being swung as hard as possible and getting broken within the first couple of minutes.  Bear in mind that the swords are relatively fragile when compared to real swords, and they should be used with that in mind. Start a cardboard fighting group if the idea interests you enough. There are already groups in existence where people meet up and play fight with cardboard weapons. Instead of starting one of your own with friends, you can look online to see if there's already a group in your city. Working some kind of live-action roleplaying (or LARPing) into the game can be fun if you're interested in fantasy or Medieval history. Cardboard swords are perfect for use in costumes and events like Halloween. Even if you have a costume in mind that doesn't necessarily befit a sword, feel free to mix and match ideas. You might be...

TL;DR in English: Get a friend to make a sword. Make cardboard armour. Duel with a friend. Apply your sword to a costume. Develop an improved sword design.

Meat tenderizer powder, sold in grocery stores, can break down the proteins found in blood stains. While it is recommended by some silk experts, meat tenderizer does have the potential to break down silk and wool fibres as well. Test this method on a small corner of these fabrics first, to see if damage occurs. Put about 15 mL (1 tbsp) unseasoned meat tenderizer into a small bowl. Gradually add water while stirring until a thick paste is formed. Do not use seasoned meat tenderizer, as the seasonings may stain your fabric. Spread the paste on the dried blood stain and gently rub it with your fingers. Let it sit for about an hour. After the hours is up, rinse the paste out with cold water. Wash the fabric as usual, but air dry rather than using a drier, since the heat can cause remnants of the stain to set permanently.

TL;DR in English: Use this on any fabric, but cautiously on silk and wool. Wet unseasoned meat tenderizer. Rub the paste gently into the fabric. Rinse out the paste before washing.

Expect clean water alone to get the job done most of the time. Save yourself the time and money and use chemical cleaners only when absolutely necessary. Expect these to leave behind streaks and film if you don’t thoroughly rinse them off. Rinsing your roof with water at least once a year should reduce the need for using chemical cleaners. Don’t expect a simple splash of water to accomplish much. Use pressurized water to blast dirt away. For a light job, start by using your garden hose and a wand or spray nozzle attachment and see if its jet setting is strong enough to work. If not, rent or invest in a power washer and use that instead. Avoid stepping directly onto dirt, grime, and debris. Treat any material other than the roof itself as unstable. Before climbing onto or advancing along your roof, use your hose or power washer to clear a path for yourself to reduce the chance of slipping. If you have to first clear a path in order to attach safety lines and other gear to the roof, wait until the washed path has dried before climbing onto the roof. Make washing easier by cleaning the highest points first so the dirty runoff flows over yet-to-cleaned sections. Continue blasting dirt and debris by advancing downward along the roof’s slope while steadily pushing dirt and debris down toward its edge. However: Roof designs vary greatly, so don’t treat this as an absolute must. If your roof is particularly steep and/or has sections well out of reach, always opt for safety and hose it down from a lower, safer point. Don’t rush the job. Opt for a slow and steady approach to ensure safety. Advance along your roof at a safe pace while minding your footing at all times to minimize the risk of slipping.

TL;DR in English: Favor using plain water over chemical cleaners. Use pressure. Clear a path first. Start from the top if possible and blast downward. Work slowly and patiently.

When the moment is right, ask your parents if they are available to talk. You should take advantage of a quiet and private area. Try sitting down instead of standing, as the conversation may take a while. Approach your parents confidently and seriously. Don’t act silly or upset. Your parents will be more likely to react positively if you display the right behavior. Get straight to the point. Don’t build up the conversation by trying to pad the situation in your favour. For example, you can say something like "I got a bad grade," or "I'm very sorry, but I didn't do very well on a quiz/test/exam.” Don't make excuses. It might seem easier to be dishonest about your grade, or make excuses about it. Dishonesty and excuses will not benefit you because they do not change your grade. Your parents will appreciate and acknowledge the fact that you were straight and honest with them. There is a difference between excuses and legitimate reasons for a bad grade. Differentiate the two. An excuse is, “My teacher made the test too hard.” A reason is “I didn’t understand the material.” Be direct with a simple statement at first, but your parents will probably want an explanation. Stay honest when you explain to them what happened. If you didn’t study, tell them. If you tried your best, but still failed, tell them.  Something you could say is “I had a hard time understanding the material,” or “I didn’t study for the test, which led to me doing poorly on it.” Be honest with yourself about why you made a bad grade. Don’t convince that it wasn’t your fault if it was. If accurate, tell them about how you know you should have studied more. That will show them that you've learned from your mistake. Lay out the plan you've made, and tell them how you plan to improve in the future. Show them comments from your teacher, your study plan, or tell them how you will avoid distractions.  Tell your parents that you will make effort to do things like set up a meeting with your teacher, turn off your phone and television while studying, and...

Let it sit out until the temperature of the water is roughly the same as the room's temperature. You can use your finger to test the water's temperature.  The time it takes your water to cool depends on how hot or cold it was when you poured it. Room temperature water tends to mix better with ginger and lemon. Pour the lemon juice from earlier into your glass of water. Use a spoon to stir the mixture until the lemon juice is thoroughly mixed in. Pour the grated ginger into your water. Use a spoon to mix the ginger until you have an even mixture. You can now drink your ginger water. If you want to cool your beverage, you can add ice. Ginger water generally lasts for about a day after mixing. If you don't finish your water right away, store it in the fridge overnight.

TL;DR in English: Pour a 12-ounce glass of room temperature water. Add the lemon juice to your glass. Mix in the ginger. Store the water in the fridge. Finished.

The most satisfying careers are the ones that make the best use of your natural skills and talents. If you’re a great public speaker and you really enjoy giving presentations, you are squandering that talent by coding programs at a desk. Maybe you could combine both aptitudes by becoming a teacher! Be aware that your career strengths are different from the skill strengths that make you happy. Some questions that might help you suss out your strengths are:[[Image:Know What You Want in Life Step 5.jpg|center];  Do you work best alone, with a partner, or as part of a larger team? Do you work best when you’re assigned tasks or when you get to lead your own projects? Although not everybody can have a career in something they’re absolutely crazy about, most people should be able to match up interests and careers to some degree. There are many tests you can take to figure out what kinds of jobs are best matched to your interests. Some people can’t stand the idea of working every day from 9-5 in an office setting. If you crave the flexibility to work at your own pace, during your own work hours, and from a setting of your choosing, maybe freelance or contract work appeals to you. Others might not see themselves following the constantly shifting schedule of a university professor with its attendant ever-changing focus. Instead, they might flourish in a setting with stability and the sameness of a 9-5 workday filled with well-known, repeating duties.  Ask yourself what kind of schedule would work best with your work habits. Don’t choose freelance work if you slack off and lose focus easily! Note that freelance and contract work is less stable than regular office work and usually does not offer benefits. Although you shouldn’t ever choose a career just for the money, you also don’t want to labor away without ever making enough money to support yourself and your family. Calculate a budget to determine how much money you’ll need to maintain your family at a level of comfort that’s acceptable.  Search online for average...

Many people can recover spontaneously, although it usually will take longer to recover without treatment.  You should take into consideration any pre-existing conditions that can increase possible damage to your long term health.  Pregnant women with leptospirosis infection have a higher infant mortality rate. Unborn babies can become infected in utero. Heart conditions, respiratory problems, or liver or kidney damage may be worsened if the infection develops into the second stage. For most people, the symptoms of leptospirosis will be mild, and the recovery period fairly short.  However, should your infection develop into the second stage, symptoms could have major health impacts or even be life-threatening.  Treatment can protect you from the more severe stage of infection.  With treatment, infection and symptoms may last for a few days or for 3 weeks or longer. Without treatment recovery may take several months. Some people may be completely recovered after the initial infection, but some may not.  Your doctor should monitor you during recovery, and for any return of infection symptoms. You may need to extend or change your course of antibiotic treatment if the infection is not responding to the medication. Antibiotics like doxycycline or azithromycin may be prescribed for milder, first phase infections. Doxycycline should not be used in the pregnant patient, this can cause liver problems and affect the development of the teeth in the unborn infant. For severe cases of infection and second phase infection, treatment may include hospital care for intravenous antibiotics (penicillin, doxycycline, ceftriaxone, and cefotaxime) and rehydration treatments as well as antibiotics in pill or liquid forms.

TL;DR in English: Take your overall health into consideration. Start treatment quickly. Contact your doctor if symptoms return. Take prescribed antibiotics as directed. Discuss possible hospital care with your doctor.

Like any new business, you will need a niche to get started and find new customers. Look for groups of people who aren’t being served well by existing mortgage companies. Try to figure out if you have some way to reach out to them and help resolve their issues in applying for a mortgage. Make sure you abide by the rules set by the Equal Opportunity Council. . If you are going into business independently, you will need a plan to help establish your structure and explain your goals to potential investors and employees. Describe the market you intend to reach and how you plan to target them. As the mortgage business is pretty crowded, you will want to identify how you intend to create and fill a niche in the market in the face of stiff competition. You can rent, lease or buy office space. You will want to find a place that is easily accessible to your clients. You may also need to purchase office supplies as well as equipment such as a fax machine, an office computer, a phone, and Internet access. Some states require you to have a physical (or brick-and-mortar) office location to register in the state. Make sure you know the laws of your state before registering. Every state has a different office and requirements for registering a new mortgage company. In New York, for example, the NLMS will go through the Department of Financial Services, and require documentation such as a credit report, $10,000 surety bond, business plan, and other documents involving awareness of legal specifications. Many states do registration through the NLMS, so if you are in the system, you’ve already got a head-start.
