Introduce the chinchillas to each other slowly. Wait for the female to be ready to mate. Allow the male and female to mate. Check the male for a “hair ring”. Confirm the female is pregnant. Take the chinchillas to the vet if they have difficulty breeding.

Letting your bacon come to room temperature before frying helps the meat cook evenly and at the right speed. Take your bacon strips out of the fridge and place them on the kitchen counter for 5-6 minutes before you start cooking. If you throw cold bacon into a hot pan, it won't release its grease properly, causing it to scorch. Make sure each strip is laying flat and try to avoid overlapping the edges so the bacon will cook evenly. If you need to, fry your bacon in batches. It's usually best to fill the skillet with strips rather than attempt to cook 1-2 pieces at a time—this usually causes the meat to burn. Cast iron pans, nonstick skillets, and griddles work best for this, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Fold several paper towels and place them on top of a large plate. Transfer the cooked bacon strips to the plate and let them drain for a few minutes before enjoying them. Remove any excess grease by gently patting the bacon with another paper towel. Draining the bacon also gives it time to cool off a bit. Bacon right out of the pan is very hot!

TL;DR in English: Take your bacon out of the fridge 5-6 minutes before you start cooking. Space out the bacon strips on a cool frying pan or griddle. Remove the bacon strips with tongs and drain them on a paper towel.

" The term "bien" means "well." You can use the term on its own to answer that you are well, but it is also commonly used as part of a phrase.  Pronounce the term, bee-ehn.  "Je vais bien" is an extended response meaning, "I am doing well." "Très bien" means "very well." "Bien, merci" means "well, thank you." "Tout va bien" means "all good." "Assez bien" means "quite good." "Ça va" means "fine." ” Like its positive counterpart, mal is often used as a response on its own. It translates to "bad."   Mal is pronounced mahl.  You could also use the term in an extended phrase, "Je vais mal," meaning, "I am bad" or "I am doing badly." This phrase is the same thing as saying “so-so” in English. Pronounce the phrase as kum-see, kum-sah."

TL;DR in English: Respond positively with "bien. Reply negatively with “mal. Use "Comme-ci comme-ca" when you are in between.

If you want to know the date, use the phrase "¿Cuál es la fecha de hoy?" (coo-AHL ess lah FAY-chah day oy). This question means "What is today's date?" While there are other ways to ask for the same information, this is the most common. The day of the week can be just as important as the specific date, especially when planning future events. If you learn how to say the date in Spanish, it's also a good idea to know how to say the days of the week in case you're asked.  Sunday is domingo (doh-MEEN-goh). Monday is lunes (LOO-nays). Tuesday is martes (MAR-tays). Wednesday is miércoles (mee-AIR-coh-lays). Thursday is jueves (hoo-AY-bays). Friday is viernes (bee-AIR-nays). Saturday is sábado (SAH-bah-doh). In Spanish, unlike in English, the definite article el (meaning "the") is always used before a date or a word for the day of the week. While you may hear the plural los used, the word el when used with a date or day of the week can be considered singular or plural. For example, if someone asked you in Spanish what your favorite day of the week was, you could reply "el viernes" or "los viernes." This response could be translated either as "Friday" or "Fridays." If you want to know what day of the week it is, you'll usually ask "¿Qué día es hoy?" (kay DEE-ah ess oy). Be careful with this question, though, because it is sometimes interpreted as asking for the date. You can also drop the hoy from the end and simply ask "¿Qué día es?" The verb hacer means "to do" or "to make" in Spanish, but when it is accompanied by "que," it can be used as a time expression. One of the primary uses of this verb in Spanish is talking about actions that happened in the past.   Hacer + length of time + que (KAY) + the past tense conjugation of the verb describes an action that occurred at a particular point in time in the past. For example, you might say "Hace tres años que empecé a trabajar aquí" to mean "I started working here three years ago." To talk about a past action that continues into the present, use hacer with the present...

TL;DR in English: Ask what the date is. Learn the days of the week. Use el when talking about days or dates. Ask what day of the week it is. Use the verb hacer (HAH-say) in common time expressions. Include the word desde for "since. Learn other words to reference time.

You should always start the breeding process by introducing the chinchillas to each other over a period of time. This will prevent the chinchillas form turning aggressive with each other once it comes time to breed.  Start by placing each chinchilla in their own cage. Then, place the cages next to each other and notice how they react. The chinchillas may be curious and smell or stare at each other. You can then let them out to play together and see how they react. If they still seem curious and not hostile to each other, place one chinchilla in the smaller cage. Then, put the caged chinchilla in the larger cage with the other chinchilla. Open the door of the smaller cage and make sure there is not hostility between them. If one chinchilla becomes aggressive, punish him or her by placing it back in the smaller cage. Once both chinchillas are no longer hostile to each other, you can allow both chinchillas to live together in the bigger cage. After some time together in the same cage, they may then be ready to mate. The female chinchilla may need some time to ease into breeding and will come into season every 30-40 days. The female first needs to eject a plug in their vagina, known as the Oestrus Plug before she can come into season or mate. Once the female chinchilla is in season, the male will respond by becoming more excited, wagging his tail, and may chase the female around the cage.  Be prepared for the female to show some resistance to the male at first. She may vocalize her distress by standing on her hind legs and spraying the male with urine. She may also whine or make loud noises. Some females may also try to attack the male before mating. This is why it is important that the cage be large enough for the male to hide or retreat when he is being attacked. The male may retreat to cubby holes or bolt holes in the cage in the event of an attack. Make sure you supervise the male and the female, especially if they seem ready to mate. The mating process can happen rather quickly. It may also be pretty...

Numerous studies have shown that mindfulness meditation substantial reduces pain. In fact, recent studies suggest that meditation may be able to actually change how the brain processes pain. Done correctly, meditation can help pain suffers move their focus from their body.  Begin simply, with brief sessions of 10 or 15 minutes so that the practice does not seem too overwhelming or burdensome. Sit in a comfortable position on the floor (or in a chair if your pain limits your ability to sit on the floor). Pay attention to your deep, measured breathing, and focus on an object or on mentally repeating a soothing or uplifting phrase (this is called a mantra). It may take a bit of practice to get the hang of meditation, but it is a powerful way to decrease the intensity of chronic pain. If you're still struggling to mediate, audio guides to mindfulness meditation are available for free from Ronald Siegel, and assistant professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School.  For a short-term dose of meditation's benefits, say a mantra by itself. Repeating a mantra for as little as thirty seconds has ben shown to reduce pain. Many experts suggest picking a neutral or positive work, but research also shows that, for some suffers of pain, shouting a curse word actually works better than saying a neutral word! Pain has a way of absorbing all of our attention, but we can fight back by focusing on things we enjoy, such as watching a movie, playing a game, or spending time with a friend.  Laughter, in particular, has been shown to reduce pain by releasing endorphins. So going to the comedy club or seeing your favorite comedy film might, quite literally, be a form of medicine. Listening to music is another activity shown to be especially successful in helping people with chronic pain. Studies have shown that listening to music as little as one hour a day reduces chronic pain. Music decreases pain and feelings of depression while increasing the listener's sense of power. Studies show that “pleasing” music, in particular, offers...

TL;DR in English: Meditate. If meditation isn't for you, consider seeking out positive distractions. Be social. Get creative. Know when to seek help.

The temperature must be over 40 °F (4 °C) for the paint to dry properly. Also, it's best to work in dry conditions. If you can't, you'll need to protect the area from rain with an awning or tarp so it doesn't get wet. If it's foggy or dewy, you also should wait to do the work. Painting in hot, humid weather and direct sunlight may also lead to problems. It can affect the drying process and the final look of the paint. Like any paint, elastomeric paint may settle a bit over time. You need to mix it with a paint stick so it has the same consistency throughout. Try not to create bubbles in the mixture. You may need to thin it a bit if you're spraying it on, but never add more than about 16 fluid ounces (470 ml) per pail. You will also need to strain the paint with a paint strainer for spray applications. Roll or brush the paint on. Paint in a "v" shape to get better coverage. Make sure you're not leaving any areas unpainted.If you're using a sprayer, go over the area in a consistent motion, making sure you cover all of it in an even coat. If you put polyurethane mesh (which is sold in rolls of 6 inches up to rolls of 4 feet) over the first coat it will prevent the elastomeric from cracking. Apply the paint at the thickness directed by the manufacturer. The coats for this paint are relatively thick, which is what fills in some cracks and provides weatherproofing. However, you must pay attention to the thickness of the paint to get these benefits. The best way to achieve the correct thickness is to follow the manufacturer's instructions for applying the paint.' You can buy machines that measure thickness, but they tend to be somewhat expensive if you're just doing 1 paint project. Wait for the first coat to dry, which should take about 4 to 6 hours. Once it does, apply the second coat in the same way you applied the first. Let it dry as well. Elastomeric paints don't do well in dark colors. They have a tendency to take on a chalky appearance, particularly when in direct sun. Because of this tendency, you won't...

TL;DR in English: Wait for ideal conditions. Mix the paint with a stir stick. Work in small areas to apply the paint with a "V" shape. Create thick coats of paint. Apply the second coat after the first one dries. Apply a conventional paint on top if you want a darker color.

The best way to have a fulfilling life is to spend your time doing things that you genuinely care about. Consider whether you are interested in art, science, politics, or the environment. Think about what you want your life's legacy to be. How do you want to impact the world around you? These questions will help you find the right career path for you.  Learn to distinguish between your hobbies and your bigger interests. Just because you like to play guitar, doesn't necessarily mean you should pursue music as a career. But if you eat, sleep and breathe guitar, then continue to practice and perfect your craft and pursue your dream. Don't give up on your hobbies. Just because your passion isn't lucrative, doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't partake in it. In fact, the opposite is true. Life is about learning to balance work and fun, and giving up either will be detrimental to your emotional health. Remember that if you have never worked at anything, you won't be able to appreciate the free time you have to partake in hobbies or spend time with friends. If you want to reach your full potential, you will have to devote time to strengthening the talents you already have, and uncovering any hidden talents that you haven't discovered yet.  Take classes or private lessons in subjects that you are interested in, even if you have no previous experience. You never know when that one elective will open the door to an entirely new career that you had never considered. Don't be discouraged if you realize that you are not skilled at something. Remember that even recognizing what you are not good at is still a step in the right direction, pointing you toward what you are good at. Once you have set your mind to doing something, follow through with it. Be prepared for obstacles, and don't expect immediate results. All good things take time and hard work, but it will be well worth it in the end when you achieve your goals. Remember that at the end of your life, you are much more likely to regret the things you didn't do than the...

TL;DR in English: Identify your interests. Explore and develop your talents. Pursue your goals passionately and responsibly. Stand up for yourself.

Your country's exit code allows you to dial out of your country. It is also referred to as an “international access code or IDD (International Direct Dialling) code. Every country has a different code. If you do an online search for “<your country> exit code,” the code for your country should come up right away. Exit code examples: USA and Canada = 011, United Kingdom (and many other countries, including Argentina and New Zealand) = 00 A country code allows you to call that country from another country — Brazil's country code allows you to call Brazil from outside of Brazil. Country codes consist of one to two digits; you dial them after you've dialed your country's exit code.  So far, the numbers you would dial into your phone would be <your country's exit code> + 55: if you are in the United States or Canada, this would be 011-55. If you ever want to look up a country code, the following online search should give you immediate results: “what is <country's> country code.” An area code can be 1 to 3 digits long and will narrow your call geographically in the country you are calling. Brazil uses 2-digit area codes. Brazil has many area codes, so which one you use will depend upon which city/area you need to call. If you don't already know the area code, do an Internet search for “<city> Brazil area code.”  Brazilian area code examples include Rio de Janeiro = 21, Anapolis = 91, São Paulo = 11: if you were calling somewhere in São Paulo from the United States, the numbers you would dial so far (before the local 8-digit number) would be 011-55-11. It is likely that the area code is already included in the phone number. You might see it in brackets in front of the local number — for example (11) 5555-5555. This is the direct phone number of the residence/business you are contacting in Brazil. Brazil uses 8-digit local phone numbers. If you are unsure of the number, double check it via email/social media (for a personal contact) or through an Internet search (if it's a business, government body etc.). Before...

Your cat's reaction to catnip should happen very quickly after it smells it (one or two sniffs of catnip is sometimes enough to evoke a "high" in your pet). Note that sensitivity to catnip is hereditary, and approximately 1 in 2 cats won't react to the herb at all.  If your cat does react, you will observe it:  Sniffing Purring Licking and chewing the catnip Rubbing its chin and cheek Rubbing its body against things (e.g. the carpet) If you offer a cat catnip too often, the effects can wear off completely. Opt to offer catnip to your pet only once a week to maintain the "high" it experiences from the herb, which generally lasts for about 5-15 minutes. It may take up to two hours for your cat's behavior to completely return to normal, during which your cat will not be susceptible to the effects of catnip. In some cases, rationing will not matter. About 30% of all cats do not react to catnip, and kittens do not usually react to catnip until after they are 12 weeks old. If your cat has the bad habit of scratching furniture and other important household items, use catnip to train it out of this behavior. Purchase a catnip spray (from your local pet store, or online) and spray a scratching post for your cat. When your cat feels the overwhelming need to scratch, it will opt for the alluring surface of the scratching post instead of the couch or kitchen table.

TL;DR in English: Observe your cat's reaction. Ration catnip for your cat. Use catnip for training.

Time and time again realtors stress that a fresh coat of paint is the easiest way to increase the value of your home. That said, a bright purple room may be off-putting to potential buyers. Go for neutral tones like beige or muted green with simple white baseboards to appeal to a wide range of buyers.  If you are on a budget then paint the most commonly used rooms first, like the kitchen, living room, and main bathroom. Avoid both bright colors like pink or yellow and dark shades like navy or chocolate brown, as these are polarizing choices for certain buyers. Wallpaper is a big turn-off for potential buyers because it is a hassle to remove if they don’t like it. Stick to neutral paint colors to get the maximum value for your house. Some wallpaper, especially in small rooms, can be effective if chosen correctly. Stick to calm, simple patterns over big and bold images. A 2007 HomeGain survey found that lighting was the number one thing potential buyers used to separate good homes from great ones. You can add attractive lighting in a variety of ways:  Install mood-enhancing dimmer switches. Put in a skylight or sun tubes (glass holes in the roof that allow in sunlight) to bring light in naturally. Remove large and stuffy curtains. Replace old light bulbs with energy-efficient LEDs for a clean, modern look without breaking the bank. A new oven, washing machine, or fridge tells a buyer that the home is up-to-date. Old appliances, however, can signal that your home is in need of costly repairs or improvements, lowering value. Buy one new appliance if you can’t afford multiple. Having one shiny, high-end appliance like a dishwasher gives the impression that all of your appliances are high end.  However, a new stainless steel oven will look odd if the rest of the appliances nearby in are worn, retro styles.  If you are on a budget, look up new "faces" for your appliances. Often the front plate of an oven or dishwasher can be removed and replaced with a new one if you call your manufacturer and ask for a replacement....

Spa baskets need to have a “clean” appearance, and the use of a metal or plastic basket can accomplish that more effectively than a traditional wicker or wooden basket. Metal and plastic won't absorb moisture, so the recipient should be able to carry the entire packed basket into the bathroom without worry. If you aren't sure where to get a metal or plastic basket, try looking in a home goods store for a shower caddy. Choose one with very few compartments, though, since it can be difficult to fill if there are too many small sections. The recipient should have everything he or she needs to enjoy a relaxing “spa day” at home. As such, you should include a variety of both common and uncommon bath products.  Common bath products include anything that most people regularly stock in their bathrooms: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, and face wash. Uncommon, luxurious bath products include things that most people may only treat themselves to on rare occasions: bubble bath, effervescent bath tablets, exfoliating body scrubs, and body spray. You can also transform common bath products into luxurious items by splurging and purchasing higher quality versions, homemade products, or organic products. Pick a scent. The products don't need to smell the exact same, but they should all fit within a similar scent family so that the recipient can use all of the products during a single “spa day.” Choose the recipient's favorite fragrance, if you know it, or opt for something that popular like rose, lavender, or vanilla. Think of ways to enhance the “spa day” experience beyond the bathtub, and consider accenting the basket with a few other small items to that effect.  For instance, scented candles can create a warm, cozy, and romantic ambiance for the recipient during a bath. Similarly, a small nail care set can help the recipient groom herself or himself further, enhancing the recipient's “spa day” glow even more. Avoid including edible accompaniments, though. Many soaps or effervescent tablets can look like food,...

Sometimes depression can be related to medical issues, including hyperthyroidism, Parkinson's disease, or Huntington's disease. It may also be a side effect of medication. If the depression isn’t caused by your medical condition, your condition may still affect your mood if you are feeling ill and thinking negatively. It is difficult to be positive when you are in pain or physically ill.  Meet with your doctor regularly if you have chronic medical issues. If you notice an increase in depression coincides with a new medication or other medical treatment, consult your doctor. Take all of your prescribed medication for medical concerns. It may take a while to find the right one for you. When you start feeling better, keep taking your medication as this may help maintain your health. With depression it may be difficult to keep up with daily tasks such as bathing, cleaning, and general self-maintenance (i.e. washing your face or brushing your teeth). Once you have successfully overcome the depression you can begin to get back your basic routine. Taking care of yourself can help you feel better about yourself overall and reduce the likelihood that the depression returns. For example, when you stay in your pajamas all day, it’s unlikely that you'll feel like leaving the house and doing something. However, if you take a long shower or bath, take care of your hair and makeup, pick out clothes you feel good in, you may feel much stronger and able to cope with the day. Make a list of things you can do for self-maintenance. This list might include: washing clothes, shopping for new clothes, washing your hair, getting a hair-cut or style. Exercise can help prevent and reduce symptoms of depression. As difficult as it is to put those sneakers on and tie the laces, after you have worked out you may feel ten times better both emotionally due to endorphins that are released in your brain.  Start off with a ten minute walk, and build up to 20. Doing that as often as possible may do wonders for you. If you have trouble getting...

Using a miswak twig to brush your teeth is easy and fun! If you have a "fresh" twig — one that hasn't been used yet — start by chewing off of the bark at either end of the twig. Stop when you've exposed an inch or so of the wood underneath. Spit out and discard the bark. A slight "spicy" or "burning" taste can result from chewing on a miswak twig. Though some find this slightly unpleasant, it's not harmful. When you've exposed the wood underneath the bark at the tip of your twig, start chewing on it. You're aiming to soften this wood so that it breaks up into thin, fibrous bristles. This should only take a minute or two — you'll know you're ready when the tip of the wood is soft enough that it can be fanned out slightly like a small brush. Ideally, you want a very slight resistance to the bristles (similar to what you'd get from a soft-bristled toothbrush). Traditionally, miswak is performed without toothpaste or other oral health products, though you may use these if you wish. To perform miswak in the traditional style, simply dip the bristly end of the twig in water (like you would before adding toothpaste to a toothbrush). Alternatively, many traditional miswak practitioners use rosewater in place of ordinary water for its pleasant scent. You're now ready to brush. You can grip the stick however feels comfortable to you — keep in mind that you'll be brushing with the tip of the stick, rather than the side, as with a toothbrush. Traditionally, miswak sticks are held by putting the thumb of the right hand just below and behind the bristly tip, putting the little finger under the back of the stick, and wrapping the remaining three fingers over the top. Now, start brushing! Press the bristly tip of the stick into your teeth and move it gently up and down to scrub their front surfaces. Move slowly around your mouth, taking your time and hitting every surface of your teeth with the bristles. Don't press extra-hard — your goal is to gently scrub the teeth, not scrape or gouge them. To someone who's used to using...

The judge should flip over the card at the top of the green deck and call it out to the group. Green cards bear descriptive terms that must be matched by the people, objects, places or events on the players’ red cards. The green card in play might read “Cute,” “Harmful” or “Patriotic.” These terms are designed to describe the red cards laid down by players each round. There are over 749 red cards and nearly 249 green cards in the basic version of the game. That’s enough different matches for hours and hours of fun. Players will now select one of their seven red cards to associate with the word on the green card. For example, a player might play a red card reading “Babies” to match a green card reading “Cute.” There are nearly endless possible combinations of red and green cards, so get creative!  Each player should choose a red card to play quickly to keep the game moving at a brisk pace. Cards should be played face down beside the green card. The judge is the only player who will not lay down a red card. The judge changes every round, giving everyone an equal chance to play. After every player has laid down a red card, the judge should shuffle or mix up the stack of red cards in play. This will ensure that the judge doesn’t know who played each card. The cards should be left face down as they are rearranged. There’s no need to shuffle extensively. Just reorganize the red cards until they’re out of the order in which they were laid down. Now the judge will turn over and look at each card. Whichever card the judge decides is the best match for the green card wins. The winning player will identify themselves and collect the green card from the round. The player to the left of the first round judge will become the new judge, players will take one card from the red deck to replenish their hand and the game will continue.

Wet-brining is great for ham or other smoking recipes. Try wet-curing your Christmas ham, for example, and then finishing it off in the smoker for a delicious recipe. Making a simple brine, and then adding the nitrites in the curing salt (which will cure the meat) is all it takes to wet-cure meat.  Try this basic brine recipe, or research brines with added nitrite for a different kind of taste. In one gallon of water, bring the following ingredients to a boil and then allow brine to cool completely:  2 cups brown sugar 1 and 1/2 cups kosher salt 1/2 cup of pickling spice 8 teaspoons of pink salt (not to be confused with sodium nitrite) A brining bag is essential for larger cuts of meat, like a Christmas ham. Smaller cuts of meat can simply go in resealable freezer bags, but make sure that there's enough room for the meat and brine to rest comfortably in.  For larger cuts of meat, Place the brining bag in a larger tub or container first, and then fill with brine. Add 1⁄2 gallon (1.9 L) to 1 gallon (3.8 L) of ice water to the brine to dilute the concentrated brine. Mix thoroughly before sealing. If you have a five pound piece of meat, brine for approximately two and a half days. Turn the meat every 24 hours if possible. The salt in the brine tends to be thicker on the bottom half of the brine and turning the meat allows the brine to work evenly. Change the brine after 7 days during the curing process to help prevent spoiling.   Wet-cured meat, such as ham, is great after smoking. Smoke your wet-cured meat in a smoker and serve on a special occasion.

TL;DR in English: Choose your piece of meat. Mix up your brine cure. Place your meat in a brining bag. In the refrigerator, brine your meat one day for every two pounds of meat. Rinse the cured meat thoroughly in fresh cold water to get rid of the crystallized salt on the surface of the meat. Set the meat on a wire mesh screen to drain for 24 hours in a well ventilated area and store in the refrigerator  for up to 30 days. Smoke the meat.

Use the same wire type as the material you are welding. For example, if you are welding stainless steel, use a stainless steel wire.  For steel welding, there are two main types of wire. AWS ER70S-3 is an all-purpose steel wire. This is usually the most economical choice. AWS ER70S-6 is a high-quality steel wire, designed for welding on rusty or dirty steel E71TGX requires no shielding gas. It is suited for welding in high winds and for painted or rusty materials. Vary the diameter of your wire based on the thickness of the metal you are welding. Use thin wire for thin metals, and thicker wire for thicker metals. You may need a larger machine for thicker metals. Tighten the tension on the reel so that the wire doesn’t unravel due to its own tension. Make the first 3 inches (7.6 cm) of the wire as straight as possible to avoid tangles or damage to the line feeder. Use a wire cutter to trim the wire accordingly. Insert the wire into the guide tube and feed it over the roller. Insert it in to the wire liner. If you have to use force, chances are that the wire is not aligned properly.  Make sure the wire is free from rust or grease, this will cause bad welds. Use a dry cloth to clean any dirty wire before inserting it. Wire will become rusty if left in the welder when not in use. Once the wire is inserted into the liner, turn the welder on and use the wire feed mechanism to push the wire through the welder. Once your wire is fed through, you will need to adjust the tensioner. TOO much tension will cause the mountings to bend, damaging the welder. Keep the tension at the minimum amount that still allows the line to be fed through. Make sure to check the tension on the reel as well as on the line feeder. Both should be as low as possible.

TL;DR in English: Obtain the proper wire. Prepare the reel. Feed the wire to the torch. Adjust the tension.

Once you know what you want to try, stop shaving and let the facial hair below your chin, around your mouth, and below your nose grow out. It should be nice and bushy before you start shaving and shaping. After about one week, you should have some good growth.  Itchy skin for a few days is a normal part of growing a beard. Don’t let yourself feel self-conscious about scratching your face often. If you find it’s particularly irritating, you can use moisturizing lotion to sooth the skin a bit. You can grow out the rest of your facial hair as well, though you don’t have to. Having the extra hair can give you a little more flexibility when determining the size of your goatee. Start from your neck by making small cuts with a trimmer blade. Work your way around your chin and up your cheeks until you have the basic outline of what you want your goatee to look like. You’ll probably want the outline to start about an inch above your Adam’s apple on your throat. This may feel a bit long, but you will always be able to shorten it slightly if you don’t like the way it looks. If you shave too close too soon, you will have to wait to grow that back. . Now that you have an outline, you can shape the edges of your goatee to get it to the size and shape you want. Make sure you have a clean, sharp razor to get the shaping accurate. If you use a manual razor, a new razor will give a cleaner shave. If you use an electric shaver, you will find the trimming tool handier to use.  Before trimming, run a comb through your beard to straighten out curled hair. This will make your hair easier to trim, and will give you a better sense of how long your goatee will be.  Make sharp, clean corners at the jawline. Get the right width. A typical goatee will be about the same width as your mouth. You can help to define this width by smiling. Use the creases from your dimples to better judge where the edges of your goatee should be. No matter what kind of goatee you're shaping, make sure that both sides match symmetrically. Every few minutes,...

Prepare to meditate. Establish your posture. Focus on your breathing and your passing thoughts.

Most of the time, you may be much harder on yourself than you would be on others or vice versa. Think about how a dear friend or family member would see your situation.  Ask yourself whether you can look at your circumstances differently. For example, you encounter a setback while applying to college that makes you question your worthiness. How would your mother or father view the situation? They would likely tell you to keep pushing and not beat yourself up. Learn to treat yourself as your best friend would. Think of how your friend would speak to you about this situation and speak the same way towards yourself. The words you use to describe yourself have the power to tank your self-confidence. Plus, absolute terms are often very unrealistic. Remove absolute terms from your vocabulary and notice how your feelings of self-doubt start to change. Skip words like “always,” “never,” “no one,” or “should.” These terms are rigid and unrealistic, only adding to your sense of insecurity. When you lack self-confidence, you can trick your brain into thinking you feel empowered by repeating a mantra. Certain words or phrases have the capacity to shift your thinking and help you believe in your abilities. For instance, you might say, “You are worthy” or “You are doing great.” Repeat these aloud for maximum impact. Cultivating gratitude is another way to shift your thinking in a positive direction. If you are insecure, you may focus primarily on what's going wrong. The very nature of gratitude is the opposite—to focus on what's right in your life. Spend some time each day in gratitude.  Start a gratitude journal or log. Add two to three things that you appreciate about your day to the journal. There are many free or inexpensive apps, such as Gratitude Journal or Gratitude Diary, that you can use to help keep your gratitude a daily practice.

TL;DR in English: Look at the situation through someone else's eyes. Remove absolute words from your vocabulary. Recite empowering affirmations. Start a gratitude practice.

To the listener, the difference between a radio talk show and a podcast is minor — both involve listening to a host and/or a set of co-hosts talk about familiar subjects with or without a guest. However, for you, the host, recording a podcast is a little different than recording a live show. You'll perform your show basically as you normally would, but rather than broadcasting it live, you'll record it and offer it for download on the internet. To do this, you'll need to an equipment setup that allows you to record reasonably high-quality audio files and sufficient hard drive space to store them.  For the most basic podcasting needs, you can get away with a computer and a reasonable-quality microphone, which usually run upwards of $100 at audio equipment stores. After recording your show, you may want to listen to your audio file and, if necessary, cut out any portions that you don't want to make the final podcast. To do this, you'll need audio-editing software (some free programs, like Audacity, are available online). Insert ads, intro, and outro music, or anything else you'd to add to your podcast.  When you're done, save your file in a widely-used audio format that will be easy for your audience to use, like .mp3. Make your podcast available to your listeners online. A variety of free hosting sites, like Youtube.com, Soundcloud.com, and many others allow you to upload audio files with a free account. Note that, with these sites, per-file-bandwidth limits may require you to split your podcast into multiple parts. You may also want to try hosting your podcast on online audio stores like the iTunes Store, Google Play store, and so on.  Generally, most podcasts are offered to the listener for free and are supported by donations, sponsors, or advertisers. Charging money for your podcast can decimate your potential listenership when you're competing against literally hundreds of good free podcasts, so it's not usually a good idea. Generally, the most professional podcasts have their own websites which contain...

TL;DR in English: Record your show. Edit your audio file. Upload your show to a hosting site. Optionally, create a blog or website for your podcast.

It will be impossible to solve the questions on your next test if you don't know what they are asking. Luckily, the terminology is not incredibly hard:   Terms: A term is simply a part of the equation being added or subtracted. It can be a constant, variable, or both. For example, in 12 + 13x + 4x2, the terms are 12, 13x, and 4x2.   Binomial: This is just a complicated way to say "an expression with two terms," like x+3 or x4 - 3x.   Powers: this refers to an exponent on a term. For example, we could say that x2 is "x to the second power." Any question asking you to "Find the terms of two binomials (x+3)(x+2)," "find the product of two binomials," or "expand the two binomials" is asking you to multiply binomials. FOIL is a simple guide for multiplying two binomials. FOIL stands for the order you need to multiply the parts of the binomials together: F is for First, O is for Outer, I is for Inner, and L is for Last. The names refer to the order in which the terms are written. Let's say we are multiplying the binomials (x+2) and (x+5). The terms would be:   First: x & x  Outer: x & 5  Inner: 2 & x  Last: 2 & 5 This is the "F" of FOIL. In our example, (x+2)(x+5), the first terms are "x" and "x." Multiply these together and jot down the answer: "x2."  First Term: x * x = x2 These are two outermost "ends" in our problem. So, in our example (x+2)(x+5), they would be "x" and "5." Together they make "5x"  Outer Term: x * 5 = 5x The two numbers closest to the center will be your inner term. For (x+2)(x+5), this means you multiply "2" and "x" to get "2x."  Inner Term: 2 * x = 2x This does not mean the last two numbers, but rather the last number in each parentheses. So, for (x+2)(x+5), we multiply the "2" and the "5" to get "10."  Last Term: 2 * 5 = 10 Combine the terms by adding them together to create a new, larger expression. From our previous example, we get the equation: x2 + 5x + 2x + 10 Like terms are parts of the equation that have the same variable and power. In our example, the terms 2x and 5x both share an x,...

TL;DR in English: Understand math vocabulary and question types. Learn the acronym FOIL to remember the order of binomial multiplication. Multiply the FIRST part in each parentheses. Multiply the OUTER parts in each parentheses. Multiply the INNER parts in each parentheses. Multiply the LAST parts in each parentheses. Add all of the new terms together. Simplify like terms. Remember that subtracted numbers are negative.

Many states provide Living Will forms. You can use one of these forms, but you are not required to do so. If the form does not properly fit within your circumstances, you may consider not using the form and drafting your own Living Will.  To look for forms in your state, perform an online search for “living will forms in [the state where you live].”  Illinois has a sample form here. If you choose to complete your own Living Will document, you will need to follow a certain formula. This will ensure that it has all of the necessary information and it will be legally binding. There are 8 sections that need to be included in your Living Will, each covering a specific stipulation for your care. Section 1 discusses the health care agent.  This section includes your name as the creator of the Living Will, and the full name, address, and telephone number of the person who you appoint as your agent. Section 2 names your alternate agent. Make sure to include any alternate agents that you want to name. In section 3 of your Living Will, you need to state the date from which your Living Will will be effective. Typically, statements such as “if and when the writer cannot make health care decisions” are used to describe the date when the Will goes into effect. In this case, a doctor will determine when this happens unless you state otherwise.  You can have an alternative start date for your Living Will if you desire. You can also state that the agent’s power will end at some later date or after an event other than your death. For example, one doctor might make the determination of incapacity, but you can specify in the Living Will that you would like two doctors to make this decision for you. In section 4, you need to define what specific powers you want to grant to your agent. The grant of power to your agent in a Living Will should be as broad as possible. If you set specific limits, your agent will not have the authority to make any decision that you could make to continue or stop any type of health care. However, even...

TL;DR in English: Get the appropriate form. Prepare your own document. Write sections 1 and 2. State the effective date and durability. Define the agent’s powers. Describe the instructions for end-of-life treatment. Explain limitations or additional instructions. Input protections for third parties. Specify organ donation options. Sign your Living Will.

Meditation will help you focus and harness your subconscious mind. Before meditating, determine the length of your session. If you are a beginner, try to meditate for 5 minutes. Change into comfortable clothes. Grab a timer and proceed to a quiet, peaceful environment. Choose a location without clutter or distractions. Sit outside, on the floor your apartment, or on your back porch. Stretch before assuming a comfortable seated position. Touch your toes, release the tension from your neck, and relax your shoulders. Find a stable seat. Sit in a straight backed chair with your feet planted firmly on the ground or cross-legged on top of a pillow on the floor. Straighten your back—your spine’s natural curve should be present. Position your upper arms parallel to the sides of your body. Your elbows will have a slight bend and your hands will naturally fall gently atop your knees. Lower your chin slightly and gaze at the floor. Settle into the position, become aware of your body, before you proceed. Close your eyes and begin to follow your breath. Focus on your inhale and your exhale. As you relax, your mind will wander. Thoughts will flow from your subconscious mind to your conscious mind. Note these thoughts, but don’t judge them. Allow these thoughts to pass. When you realize your mind has wandered, return your attention to your breathing. In time, your mind will wander again. Always continue to come back to your breath. Repeat this process until your session is complete.

Drive with contacts as recommended and required. Take care with multifocal contacts for night driving. Keep your prescription up-to-date. Check for other sources of glare or clouding.

Clear off counters and desk space, put away dirty clothes, and get rid of old magazines and papers lying around. Clean dirty dishes or put them into the dishwasher. Wipe down counters, tables, and desks with a damp paper towel or cloth. Your space doesn't need to be totally spotless. Leaving a little bit of clutter shows that you're human and you . Nothing makes a good impression like a sparkling clean bathroom. Wipe down the toilet, sink, and shower with your cleaning product of choice. Consider opening a window for fresh air or placing an air freshener in a corner to keep your bathroom smelling good. Make sure you have a fresh roll of toilet paper at the ready and your hand soap is topped up. Whether your boyfriend is sleeping over or simply hanging out for a few hours, changing your sheets can make a big difference. Sheets can trap sweat and body odor that can smell strong to someone new, even if you don't notice it. Especially if you live in a small space, changing out your sheets can make your whole space smell fresher. If you don't have time to change your sheets, try spritzing some air freshener around your bed. A scented candle is an easy way to make your whole space smell delicious. It can also make a room feel extra cozy, especially if you're staying in when it's cold outside.  Pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, and jasmine are popular choices for sweet scents. You can also bake some fresh cookies to make your kitchen smell delicious. Don't be afraid to display your favorite books or art and don't hide family photos or heirlooms. These are all part of your personality and will help your boyfriend learn more about you. Your home says a lot about who you are, so don't hide things you normally have on display. They will help your boyfriend learn more about you.

TL;DR in English: Clear up any clutter and wipe down surfaces. Clean your bathroom Change your sheets. Light a scented candle 45 minutes before your boyfriend comes over. Showcase your personality.

Depending on the condition of the healed incision, use saline, an antiseptic such as alcohol, or sterile swabs to remove any debris or dried fluids from the wound. Begin at one end of the healed incision.  This is a specialized tool doctors use to take out surgical staples. The upper part of the staple remover will push down the middle of the staple, causing the staple ends to pull out of the incision. When the staples are removed, drop them into a disposable container or bag.   Pull out the medical staple in the same direction it went in to avoid tearing your skin. You might feel a slight pinch, sting or tugging sensation. This is normal. When the end of the incision is reached, inspect the area again to check for any staples that may have been missed. This will help to prevent future skin irritation and infection.  The type of covering applied depends on how well the wound has healed.  Use a butterfly bandage if the there is still skin separation. This will provide support and help to prevent the formation of a larger scar.   Use a light gauze dressing to prevent irritation. This will act as a buffer between the affected area and your clothing.   Expose the healing incision to the air, if possible. Make sure to not to cover the affected area with clothing, to avoid irritation. The redness around the closed incision should fade over a few weeks. Follow your doctor's advice on wound care, and be aware of the following signs of infection:  Redness and irritation around the affected area. Affected area is hot to the touch. Increased pain. Yellow or green discharge. Fever.

TL;DR in English: Cleanse the wound. Slide the lower part of a staple remover under the middle of the staple. Squeeze the handles of the staple remover until they are completely closed. Take out the staple by releasing the pressure on the handles. Use the staple remover to remove all the other staples. Cleanse the wound with antiseptic again. Apply a dry dressing or bandage if needed. Watch for signs of infection.

Your residency in the country must usually be continuous. This means that you must live only in that country for a specified amount of time. If you leave the country for longer than a few weeks a year, you may no longer be eligible for citizenship. For example, in France, if you leave for more than 6 months, you may become ineligible for citizenship. Most countries will not give you citizenship unless you make a certain amount of money. Some may request proof that you are employed in the country. If you are married and do not work, you may need to provide details of your spouse's job instead.  For example, in Denmark, you must prove that you are able to support yourself and your family without relying on any public assistance, such as housing or welfare.  If you are a student, the requirements may vary. You may need to graduate and get a full-time job before you become eligible. If you own a house or land in the country to which you are applying for citizenship, you may have a better case. In some countries, such as Greece, Latvia, Portugal, and Cyprus, you can earn the right to citizenship just by owning a certain amount of property.

TL;DR in English: Avoid leaving the country for long stretches of time. Increase your yearly salary. Buy property in the country you are living in.

Control-top pantyhose have a very tight upper portion that may work as a binder. Usually, this is a safe option if it’s used occasionally. It’s best to use a new pair because it will be tighter. However, you can use an old pair of pantyhose if that’s what you have. You’re going to be wearing the pantyhose upside down over your head, so you need to remove the legs. Cut them at the base of the torso area or at around the mid-thigh level, depending on how you want to wear your pantyhose binder. Discard the legs of the pantyhose because you won’t need them. Your head is going to go through the crotch of the pantyhose, so you need a hole for it. Use your scissors to cut out the crotch of the hose. This should turn your pantyhose into a tank top or a small short-sleeved shirt. Make sure you cut away all of the cotton portion of the crotch. Otherwise, it’ll be hard to stretch it out for your head to fit through. Put your head through the hole in your crotch. Then, put your arms through the holes where the legs were. Finally, pull the control-top portion down over your chest. Adjust your breasts so they’re as flat as possible. You might sweat more while wearing a pantyhose binder because the material typically holds in sweat.

TL;DR in English: Use a pair of control-top pantyhose as a temporary option. Use scissors to cut the legs off of the pantyhose. Cut a hole in the crotch of the pantyhose for your neck. Pull the pantyhose over your head with the waistband at the bottom.

Always follow your prescribing eye doctor's advice about when to wear your contacts (or other corrective lenses).  If she says to wear them all the time, or always when driving, do so.  If you need corrective eyewear to see clearly, you will likely be required by law to wear them when driving.  Otherwise, your driving privileges could be suspended. Some people worry that monovision contacts — where the contact in the dominant eye is calibrated for distant objects, and the weaker eye for close objects — are problematic for night-time driving.  There is little evidence to support this claim, however.  Indeed, if anything, most contact lenses should aid in your night-driving ability by improving your vision.  There is a caveat for multifocal lenses, however, which is discussed below. Some research has indicated that multifocal contacts — basically bifocals on your eyes — may make it more difficult to discern colors and sharp details in low light.  This claim is still debated by experts, however.  Some experts recommend wearing night-driving glasses along with your multifocal contacts to improve visual acuity, while others believe them to be useless in this role.  If you wear multifocal contacts, talk to your prescribing eye doctor, especially if you feel you have any problems with night vision. The best solution may be to simply switch to equivalent anti-glare eyeglasses for night driving.  There is no evidence that these hinder low light vision. The best way to ensure that you see your best when driving is to have regular eye appointments.  Your eye doctor will discuss the right frequency of appointments for you, such as annually or bi-annually. Some contact wearers notice blurry vision at night and blame so-called “night myopia,” but this is not a legitimate medical condition.  It is simply more difficult to see at night because of lower light levels.  If your vision is noticeably blurry at night, you most likely should have your vision checked and prescription adjusted. Some people blame their eyes for...

It's important to recognize the symptoms of pancreatitis, so that you can seek help sooner. The sooner the problem is dealt with, the easier it will be to solve. If you have any of the following symptoms that persist for several days or that cause you serious discomfort, call your doctor:  Pain in your upper abdomen, which can radiate toward your back. This pain will usually be worse after eating. Your abdomen may also be tender to the touch.  Nausea and vomiting. Oily, greasy-looking stools that are light colored. Recent weight loss without apparent cause. These same symptoms may be from other sources. You may not have pancreatitis, but instead have some other problem. However, these problems can still be very serious, so it's important to still seek treatment. Other possible sources of the problem include:  Ulcers - black or bloody stool is one of the major symptomatic differences between ulcers and pancreatitis Gallstones - fever and skin discoloration are some indicators of gallstones over pancreatitis but many of the symptoms are exactly the same Liver disease - skin or eyes yellowing or discoloration is a common indicator of liver problems instead of pancreatitis Heart attacks - tingling in the arms is one clear indicator that you may be having heart problems and not pancreatitis Alcoholism, cystic fibrosis, hyperparathyroidism, infection, and cancer are some of the precursors of pancreatitis. These are serious conditions that have lots of other negative impacts on your health and well-being, so it's important to be sure that they are being treated. Alcoholics have more occurrences of pancreatitis. Even though you may not think you have a problem, it's a good idea to consider it.

TL;DR in English: Recognize the symptoms. Be aware of other possible problems. Acknowledge the causes.

The more late payments you make, the more likely the credit card company is to increase your APR. If you miss a payment, pay it as soon as possible. The company might report you to credit reporting agencies even before 30 days pass. This damages your credit rating in a way that takes a long time to undo. Keep your FICO score up by proving yourself to be a reliable debtor. The law requires your credit card company to give you 45 days' notice before raising your interest rate. However, the company might not give you an explanation for the rate change. If you don't get an explanation, call your credit card company to find out why your rate was changed. If the company can't give you a good answer, it might be time to transfer your balance to another credit card. Good reasons to raise your rate include consistently missed payments or a low credit score. Credit card companies are in the business of making money. They won’t lower your APR just because you're a good customer. If you want to be rewarded for your years of timely payments, you need to call your credit card company and convince it to change your rate.  Before calling your credit card company, research what a fair APR for your FICO score would be.  Then call your credit company and try to renegotiate your APR based on your research. If the company is unwilling to do so, it may make sense to transfer your balance to another credit card.

TL;DR in English: Make your payments on time. Pay attention to rate increases. Try to lower your APR.

Rabbits need access to hay 24 hours a day. Hay is great for nesting, and also aids in digestion. Go to the pet store and pick out a bag of high quality timothy or oat hay. Make sure there's always a few piles of hay present in your rabbit's cage so he can eat and nest as he pleases. Your rabbit's diet should consist of high quality pellets. For younger rabbits especially, pellets are a vital component of a healthy diet.  Pellets should have at least 18% fiber. They should also be nutritionally balanced. You can talk to your vet about the right type of pellet for your rabbit's needs. Younger rabbits who are still growing will generally need more pellets. If your rabbit is older, you'll want to give him less pellets and feed him vegetables and hay as a supplement to his diet. Rabbits love vegetables, and they're also a great component of a healthy diet. In addition to spoiling your rabbit with quality hay and pellets, it's a good idea to give him fresh vegetables each day. Alfalfa, beets, broccoli, pea pods, lettuce, green peppers, kale, and carrots are some great options to spoil your rabbit.  Make sure to cut bigger veggies up so your rabbit can easily eat them. Also, file down any harsh edges so your rabbit doesn't hurt his teeth or gums while chewing. You should also pay attention to the types of vegetables your rabbit likes if you want to spoil him. If he's largely disinterested in lettuce, but goes crazy for kale, give him kale more often. Your rabbit will feel happy and spoiled if he gets to load up on his favorite foods all the time. High quality treats are important to spoiling your rabbit. Make sure you have a lot of treats on hand. Give your rabbit a few treats a day to make him feel valued.  Fresh fruits can be a great treat for rabbits. They should not be a dietary staple, like vegetables, as they can cause weight gain. However, if you want to spoil your rabbit, give him a piece of fruit now and again. You can also purchase rabbit treats at most pet stores. Rabbit treats come in a variety of forms,...

TL;DR in English: Provide hay. Choose high quality pellets. Give your rabbit lots of vegetables. Feed your rabbit a variety of quality treats.

Not all grains, cereals, and flours contain gluten. In fact, most don't. Here is a list of all the cereals, grain, and flours that are good to eat!  Cereals and grains: rice, maize, quinoa, tapioca, sago, buckwheat, and sorghum. Flours: rice, corn, potato, maize, graham, soya, chickpea, sorghum, tapioca and chestnut flours are all okay — but check the label for possible contamination. Breakfast cereal: this can be tricky. Check carefully and avoid brands containing wheat, oats, barley, rye, or malt extract. No Rice Krispies!! This contains barley malt extract. Gluten-free muesli is good, but boil thoroughly if it's made from crushed rice. Add fruit for flavor! All are basically fine — just check any coatings, sauces and spices you add. Check wafer-thin meats, too. (Sometimes wheat flour is added to make them peel apart more easily).  When ordering fish in a restaurant, check with the chef — sometimes fish is fried with flour to stop it from sticking to the pan. Again, avoid processed lunch meats, and all imitation meats or seafood, as they may contain gluten. Milk, cream, cheese and yogurt should be fine to eat. Check any added ingredients, and check ready-grated cheese. (Sometimes wheat flour is added to prevent the slivers of cheese from sticking together).  In some cases, celiacs are dairy-intolerant because of intestinal damage. This situation can improve over time, and it's important to keep eating dairy foods in moderation during recovery (perhaps a little cheese once in a while) to avoid permanent dairy-intolerance. If you’re lactose-intolerant, or avoiding dairy for other reasons, try soya milk or rice milk (check label for contamination). You may be able to handle goat’s milk. If you find you are intolerant to soya, it may be intestine-related and should clear up over time. All fruits and vegetables are naturally gluten-free. Check ready-made pie fillings, coatings, sauces and spices though, as these can be thickened with flour. You can eat butter, margarine, and oils, but avoid suet and check...

TL;DR in English: Start with your grains, cereals, and flours. Get full doses of your meat, fish and eggs. Know that dairy products are good to go. Get your full share of fruits and veggies. Know what kinds of fats are okay. Be careful about desserts, although some can be fine. Get your snacks. Check your spices and cooking ingredients. Be mindful about what you drink.

Cheesecloth is a very loose cotton that resembles gauze. You can find it in craft stores like Jo-Ann Fabric or Bed Bath and Beyond. Measure the area where you will be hanging the web and measure and cut the cheesecloth accordingly. Secure the cheesecloth in place with pins or glue. Remember, the web is meant to look old and unfinished so vary the lengths and spacing of the vertical strips. Cut from the bottom up. Create a messy web by snipping, tearing, and making holes in each vertical strip. The more it unravels, the better. Rub the ends of the cloth between your hands to fray the edges and glue in fake spiders as needed.

Once you have completed a draft of the story in the first person, read it out loud. Listen to how each sentence sounds in the narrative. Notice if you repeat “I” too often or in every sentence. Pay attention to the voice of the first person narrator and note if it feels consistent throughout the piece. You should also pay attention to the tense in the story. Make sure the story does not shift from present to past tense or vice versa. It should stay in the same tense the entire time. As you polish and revise the story, make sure your word choice and language is strong. Look for any words that you can replace with more unique terms. Check for any language that does not feel as clear or concise as it could be. Make sure your word choice and language suit the first person narrator in the story. You should show your draft to others and get their feedback. Ask friends and peers to read the first person narrative. Have them give you feedback and apply their critiques to the story to make it stronger. You may also show the story to a writing group to get their criticisms and critiques. Be open to the feedback of others and use it to improve the first person narrator in your story.

TL;DR in English: Read the piece out loud. Tighten up the word choice and language. Show the piece to others.

For instance, if your current score is 30 and the numbers at the top of the scorecard frame you just completed are 5 and 4, you’d add 9 (5 plus 4) to 30. Your current score would then be 39. Write your current score in the bottom of the scorecard frame, beneath the numbers for the turn you just completed. A spare occurs when you knock down the remaining pins on the second roll of your turn. For instance, if you knock down 1 pin on your first roll and 9 pins on your second roll, you’ve scored a spare. A spare can be worth anywhere from 10 to 20 points depending on how much you score in the next roll. In order to get the maximum number of points, you’d have to make a strike on your next roll.   When you get a spare, wait to calculate the score for that turn until you roll your first roll for your next turn. Then, write that score in your previous turn's frame. For example, let's say you're bowling in turn 2 and you scored 6 points in turn 1. In turn 2, you roll a 3 on your first turn and a 7 on your second. You've rolled a spare! Instead of adding up 3+7 to get 10 (for that turn) and adding it to 6 from your previous turn, wait until you've rolled the first roll of turn 3. If you roll a 7, you then add up 6 (your turn 1 score)+10 (your spare)+7 (your first roll of turn 3) to get 23! Note that you still add up your rolls for turn 3. If you rolled a 7 and then a 2, you'd add 23 (your score in turn 2)+9 to get 32 for turn 3. A strike is when you knock down all of the pins on your first roll for that turn. A strike’s worth can be anywhere from 10 to 30 points, depending on how you roll after the initial strike.  When you get a strike, wait to calculate the score for that turn until you've completely finished the next turn. For instance, let's say you get a strike in turn 1. In turn 2, you roll a 2 and a 6, for a total of 8 points. Once you finish turn 2, your score for turn 1 is 18: 10 (for the strike)+8 (in turn 2). Write the number "18" in the main square in your scorecard frame for turn 1. Then, add 18+8 for a...

TL;DR in English: Add the total number of pins knocked down in your 2 rolls when your turn is complete. Score a spare by adding 10 to the number of pins knocked down on the next roll. Score a strike by adding 10 to the sum of the next turn.

Relationships can be fun and exciting early on, yet it important to make sure that you and your partner are rooted in respect. Act in ways that demand respect from your partner.  Strive to treat each other with respect at all times, even when you are mad at each other.  Your partner’s wishes, thoughts, and feelings have value. Communicate to your partner that you consider the way they feel. Mutual respect is an important part of making a healthy relationship work.  Talk to your partner about creating respect in your relationship. Decide “do’s” and “don’ts,” such as name calling or sexual touch. You may wish to implement "fair fighting" rules. They are as follows: No degrading language No blaming No yelling No use of force No talk of divorce/breaking up Don't try to tell your partner what they are thinking/experiencing/feeling Stay in the present Take turns speaking Use time outs when necessary A healthy relationship should be one in which you and your partner feel appreciated. Often, relationships are built from many small things added one on top of the other. Find the things your partner does for you and say “thank you.” Instead of focusing on mistakes your partner makes, focus on the ways your partner adds to your life. When you notice something, speak out and show your appreciation.  Ask your partner how they like to feel appreciated. Write a note or a card, or make an effort to say “thank you” often. Let your partner know how you like to be appreciated. Say, “It means a lot to me when you notice the things I do for you.” It’s easy to transition from face-to-face time together to digital communication. Yet, sometimes meanings can get lost in translation or non-verbal communication becomes non-existent. Spending quality time together can help strengthen your relationship and increase the bond you and your partner feel together.  Find activities that you can do together regularly. It can be as simple as enjoying a cup of coffee together each morning or reading together at night. Trying something new together...

TL;DR in English: Create a foundation of respect. Appreciate each other. Spend quality time together. Give each other space. Expect changes.

Install ICFs at the time of construction.

You can't update Safari on OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or earlier, so you'll need to upgrade to at least OS X 10.6, which means your Mac must have at least one gigabyte of RAM. You can verify this requirement by clicking the Apple icon in the top-left corner of the screen, clicking About This Mac, and looking at the number next to "Memory". You can buy a hard copy from Apple's store (http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard), or you can search for "Mac OS X Snow Leopard" on Amazon. Snow Leopard is the first rendition of OS X to run the Apple App Store, which is necessary to update to newer operating systems such as Yosemite or MacOS. You can also use the App Store to update Safari. To do so, insert the Snow Leopard CD into your Mac's CD slot (it's on the left side of the Mac's housing) and follow the on-screen instructions. You will have to restart your Mac during the installation process. It's an apple-shaped icon in the top-left corner of the screen. After a moment, you'll see a window pop up with several update options. You can elect to update to a newer version of OS X (e.g., Yosemite) from this window as well, though doing so will take some time. This button is in the bottom-right corner of the "Update" window. Doing so will install each item next to which you placed a checkmark. You may need to restart your computer during this process. Once the installation is complete, your Mac's version of Safari should be up-to-date for OS X 10.6, and you should no longer encounter error messages when attempting to access pages or software in Safari.

Oils have been used for their ability to aid with antiseptic, analgesic, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, antispasmodic, antiviral, antifungal and astringent purposes. Essential oils appear to be useful in helping to relieve backache, tense muscles nausea, swollen ankles, indigestion, fatigue and skin problems during pregnancy. Several oils have been useful in reducing anxiety and stress allowing the body to achieve a relaxed state, thus promoting tranquility for the mind. This is where the enlistment of a professional aromatherapist is most beneficial. Negative side effects as a result of the use of some essential oils have been proven to occur. Though rare, some women may experience uterine contractions and spontaneous abortion as a result of improperly used essential oils. It is recommended that pregnant woman avoid the use of essential oils known to thin blood, cause cramping or bring about uterine contractions. Cinnamon, cedar, basil, rosemary, myrrh, peppermint, clary sage, clove, cypress, fennel, hyssop, juniper berry, lemongrass, parsley, pennyroyal, sweet marjoram, thyme, jasmine and nutmeg are all considered a potential risk when used during pregnancy. These oils should be avoided during pregnancy.

TL;DR in English: Research what medicinal properties can be achieved with the use of different essential oils. Determine which oils are useful in helping to alleviate common conditions that are usually experienced by pregnant women. Explore other possible beneficial uses for essential oils. Understand how the blending of different oils can change the properties for usage. Learn what oils to avoid.

Burning 300 calories in 30 minutes should be fairly easy.  However, to help make sure you hit the goal and to even exceed it, try increasing the resistance and difficulty of your exercise routine.  In general, the more challenging a workout is, the more calories you'll burn.  You can increase the speed, pace, resistance, weight or add incline to make workouts more challenging. For example, instead of just running at a steady pace, alternate between jogging and sprinting or jogging on a flat surface to jogging on an incline. You'll burn more calories per 30 minutes when you add in these fluctuating levels of difficulty. In addition, you can try doing one set of a resistance exercise every 5 to 10 minutes during your cardio workout, such as doing bicep curls or pushups. You can also try increasing the resistance on cardio machines - like the elliptical or spin bike. Although you may only have 30 minutes to work out most days, if you can, try increasing the length of your workouts.  This will help you increase how many calories you can burn.  You may not have time for a 45-minute run or a 60-minute spin class.  However, even small additions in time can make a difference when it comes to the total amount of calories you burn. Some studies have shown that an additional 5 to 10 minutes can help you burn an extra 50 to 100 calories. If weight loss is your goal, try going for 35 to 40 minute workouts whenever you can.  The other days you can stick to those higher intensity exercises to burn 300 calories in 30 minutes. You might not consider strength or resistance training to be a big calorie burner. And by itself, it's not. But when combined with aerobic exercise, it can help you burn more calories.  When you have more muscle mass, your body (and metabolism) automatically burns more calories.  That's because muscle tissue is active and requires more energy. When you're performing aerobic exercise or even when you're at rest, the more muscle mass you have, the more calories you'll burn. Most health professionals...

TL;DR in English: Increase the resistance and difficulty of your exercises. Increase the length of your workouts. Incorporate strength training. Exercise in the mornings. Move more during the day.

Always serve red wine below room temperature. Serve rich red wines, like Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, at a warmer temperature than light red wines, like Pinot Noir and Zinfandel. Rich wines taste smoother when you serve them a little warmer.  If you don’t have a wine cooler, chill the red wine in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving. Only chill rich red wines, like Merlot and Rioja, for 15-20 minutes in the fridge since they taste better warmer. If you're chilling wine in the fridge, turn the temperature dial up 1 or 2 notches so the wine doesn't get too cold. Don't forget to turn it back after you're done chilling the wine. Serve light, zesty white wines, like Chablis and Grenache Blanc, at the lower end of the temperature spectrum — 50 °F (10 °C) or colder — and oak-aged white wines at the higher end. Use a refrigerator to chill white wine if you don’t have a wine cooler. Place the wine in the fridge several hours before serving. Turn the temperature dial up 1 or 2 notches in the fridge when you're chilling wine. Regular fridge temperatures can make wines too cold. Place it in the freezer one hour before serving so it reaches a temperature between 38-50 °F (5-10 °C). Expensive sparkling wines can be served at 50-55 °F (10-13 °C). Chill these wines in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving, like you would with white wines.

TL;DR in English: Chill red wine to 53-69 °F (12-21 °C). Serve white wine when it’s 44-57 °F (7-14 °C). Chill sparkling wine in the freezer.

You may feel you are most productive or energetic at night, but you are unlikely to improve your sleep quality if you don’t establish a regular bedtime. By going to sleep at the same time every night no matter what, you can gradually reset your circadian rhythm and get better rest. Watching movies, playing video games, scrolling through your phone, or working on your laptop before bed can all interfere with your sleep, and the reason is two-fold. Not only are these activities high-arousing, which can make it difficult for your brain to transition into sleep, the devices also emit a stimulating blue light, which suppresses the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. Try to turn off all screens two hours before you go to sleep. Instead of stimulating activities, you should enjoy very mundane activities in the two hours prior to going to sleep. Try packing your lunch for the next day, folding your laundry, washing dishes, or listening to relaxing music. Enjoy a shower or a bath an hour before your bedtime. Bathing will relax your muscles and make it easier to fall asleep. Try a relaxing bath with Epsom salts and/or lavender oil. You should certainly get exercise during the day, since it helps with ADHD symptoms such as restlessness. However, you should avoid getting exercise too close to your bedtime because it may make it hard to fall asleep. Try getting exercise first thing in the morning. Exercise can lead to a flood of endorphins and a release of adrenaline, which can give you energy to sustain you throughout the day. Working out too close to bedtime will not give your body adequate time to burn off or use the endorphins and adrenaline before attempting to sleep. . Engaging in meditation is a common stress-busting strategy, and reducing stress and anxiety before bed might make it easier for you to fall asleep. Find a quiet room in your house. Sit in a comfortable position. Place your hands on your thighs and relax your shoulders. Notice that you are breathing. Place your mind on your breath. If you notice...

TL;DR in English: Stick to a set bedtime every night. Shut off electronic devices before bed. Do relaxing, routine activities before sleeping. Shower an hour before bedtime. Exercise at least three hours prior to bedtime. Practice mindfulness meditation Use a sleep log or activity tracker to monitor your sleep.

Young, small dandelion greens, also known as baby dandelion greens, are mild in flavor, so they are great in salads and smoothies. However, mature dandelion greens (larger ones) will taste best if you stir-fry them with other ingredients and seasonings, because they can have a bitter flavor. Try sautéing dandelion greens with onions and garlic and a little bit of olive oil for a healthy veggie side dish. If you like to make your own beer or wine, look up recipes for beer or wine made with dandelions. You can also use the flowers to make a jelly that you can spread on toast. You can also fry dandelion flowers for a tasty snack! The roots of dandelions are often used to make tea. Dry the roots using a food dehydrator or by putting them out in the sun on a baking sheet. Then, chop the roots up into 0.25 in (0.64 cm) pieces and store them in a glass jar. To make a cup of dandelion tea, place 1 teaspoon of the dried root pieces into 1 cup (240 mL) of boiling water and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Strain the tea and enjoy once it is cool enough to drink!

TL;DR in English: Add fresh dandelion greens to salads, smoothies, and stir-fry dishes. Use new dandelion flowers to make beer, wine, and jelly. Dry dandelion roots and use them for tea.

Talk to people you trust or go online to find a good dentist. Referrals from friends or families will ensure you can trust your experience. Because you are not likely to be qualified to determine if you indeed have a cavity, you will need a dentist to do this. Make sure you get it checked out so as to avoid more damage to your teeth. This will help them to focus on those spots. If the cause of your worry or discomfort is not a cavity, the dentist may still be able to help. Try to be as specific as you can be and explain when and how you feel the pain. Let your dentist know if your feel sharp pain while they are examining your teeth. This physical probing of your teeth will enable the dentist to tell if you have a cavity. They will poke and prod in different locations to test the strength and damage at any spot. Make sure your dentist does a thorough examination on any tooth that gives you problems. This may reveal cavities or other issues. When cavities form between your teeth, it is not always easy to tell they are there. In these situations, a dentist cannot probe with a dental tool. They will not fit between your teeth. In this case, a dentist can take an x-ray to reveal the presence of any cavities. If you feel that you have a cavity, you may wish to have your dentist take an x-ray to find out the extent of the damage.

TL;DR in English: Find a dentist. Tell your dentist about the problem area. Get your teeth probed. Have an x-ray taken.

Decide where you will put the bruise and consider what would have caused a bruise in that particular area.  This will help you decide where the bruise should be as well as it’s shape and size.  Put the bruise in a place which is easy to reach to make applying makeup simple. The shape of the bruise should reflect whatever you think would have caused it. Consider a bruise on your forearm as if it was hit by a blunt object like a bat, which would be an oval bruise.  It would be a little longer than it is wide and have rounded edges. Another option is giving yourself a black eye as if you were punched in the face. Let them notice the bruise before you go around showing it off.  They are more likely to believe it is real if you don’t say anything about it.  Let them ask you what happened and be prepared with a fake story. If they don’t ask about it, you can “accidentally” touch the bruise or hit it on something, then react as if it hurt.

TL;DR in English: Place the bruise. Fool your friends.
