Select a well-draining pot that is 25% bigger than the lemon-tree bulb. Use well-draining, composted soil to cover the bulb of the tree. Fertilize the soil surface only so you don’t disturb the roots of the tree. Water your lemon tree every 10 to 14 days. Keep your tree in a location where it won’t be sitting in water.

A default/penalty rate is higher than the rate you got when you signed up for your card. It's triggered when you violate the penalty terms in your contract. Examples of violations might include exceeding your balance limit or consistently making late payments. You may be able to find a standard default/penalty APR somewhere in your statement or contract. It's more likely, though, that the bank will send you a letter telling you that it's changing your rate. The Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009, or CARD Act, requires banks to give 45 days' notice before adjusting your interest rate. Your bank will explain your new rate in the letter. For example, you may have had an original APR of 20 percent. However, you missed two straight payments — 60 days. You received a letter saying the credit card company was raising your rate to a default/penalty rate of 35 percent. Divide your new rate by the number of days in the year, 365. In our example, you would complete the following equation: 35 ÷ 365 = 0.0958. This is the interest you’re paying on a daily basis. Because the number of days in a month can vary, make sure you’re using the right number for the month in question. Since January has 31 days, you would multiply 0.0958 x 31 to get 2.97. Your interest in January would be 2.97 percent of your balance. Remember to convert the percentage to a decimal. In our example, 2.97 percent becomes 0.0297. If you have a balance of $1,000 at the end of January, you pay $1,000 x 0.0297, or $29.70 in interest.

TL;DR in English: Know what a default/penalty APR is. Figure out what your default/penalty APR is. Calculate the DPR on your new rate. Figure out your interest rate for a given month. Multiply that monthly rate by your outstanding balance.

Does the speaker talk in a way that makes you want to keep listening, or is it easy to tune out? A great speaker knows when to pause for effect, as well as how fast to speak and at what volume. There’s no one perfect way to deliver a speech, since everyone has their own style. However, all great speakers share in common a capacity to keep their listener’s attention. Here are a few things to keep in mind:  A person who is speaking too loudly may seem aggressive, while one who is speaking too quietly may struggle to be heard. See if the person seems to have a good sense of how loudly to speak. Many speakers tend to speak too quickly without realizing it. See if the person is speaking at a pace that sounds natural and easy to understand. The way the speaker holds him or herself should project confidence and charisma, making the audience feel engaged and included. Someone less skilled at public speaking might look down, forget to make eye contact, and tap his or her foot, while a great speaker will do the following:  Make eye contact with audience members in several different spots in the audience. This helps each part of the crowd feel included.  Stand up straight without fidgeting too much. Use natural arm and hand gestures from time to time.  When appropriate, walk around the stage instead of leaning against a podium. Too many “ums,” “likes” and “uhs” take away from a speaker’s credibility, since they make him or her sound a bit unprepared. Listen for these words and make a note of how many times you hear them. While saying a few filler words is natural, they should not overwhelm the speech or be noticeable in any way. A great speaker should have memorized the speech long in advance. Using a typed page of notes or using powerpoint to jog one's memory is acceptable, but glancing down too many times can be distracting for audience members.  It was once acceptable to carry a series of notecards and read from them, but this is no longer the case. Memorizing the speech allows the speaker to engage with the audience...

TL;DR in English: Listen to the speaker’s voice inflections. Watch the speaker’s body language. Listen for filler words. See if the speech was memorized. Assess how the speaker manages anxiety.

You can find acting and improv classes in your city or at your college or university. Take classes that interest you and which will push you to improve. A professional acting coach or teacher will be able to guide you in proper technique and give you tools that better you as an actor. You can’t always see what you’re doing. But a teacher can. And your teacher will be able to help you make adjustments, learn the basics, and teach you how to mentally approach your craft. There are acting coaches and teachers who specialize in specific forms and can help you reach specific goals. If you want to learn to be better at auditioning on camera, you can find a teacher who will help you improve. Put yourself in the right mindset to learn. Don’t think you are too good for classes. You’re not. For most actors, your job isn’t to be an actor. Your job is to learn and to audition. In addition to getting on your feet and learning, reading and studying books on acting will help you improve your skills as an actor.  Treat acting like any subject in school. You have to do your homework and study. Because when it comes to acting, the test is an audition. There are countless books for you to read on the subject of acting. Don’t just grab the first one you see. Ask your teachers and coaches for recommendations. There are some books that have tremendous value like “Audition” by Michael Shurtleff. This book houses twelve guideposts that go way beyond just auditioning. The twelve guideposts in the book will show up in other books, in your technique, and in life. Plays house a wealth of knowledge on acting. Plays will help you to understand how characters work and allow you to analyze the material.   When you read plays pay attention to the stage directions, beats, and the dialogue. There is meaning in each part that can help you improve your skill. Notice the heightened nature of characters. In plays, characters have a heightened sense of purpose and reality. Whether it’s Shakespeare or something modern. Each character has an ultimate...

TL;DR in English: Read books on acting. Read plays. Take notes on the greats.

It is critical that you do not hit the snooze button when your alarm goes off in the morning. Snoozing interrupts your sleeping patterns and makes you more tired when trying to wake in the morning, while providing you with no additional quality sleep time. Set your alarm for a later time. If you have the time to hit the snooze button and go back to bed after waking in the morning, then you have additional time to sleep in. So, set your alarm for a later time. This will help ensure you get the maximum amount of uninterrupted, quality sleep. Maybe you need to wake up earlier to make breakfast or a bag lunch for the day or you need the extra time to clean up and groom yourself. One way to sleep longer is to handle these types of issues in the evening before you go to sleep. Make your bag lunch and put it in the fridge. If you need coffee in the morning, set your pot to turn on automatically. If you need to bathe, do it before you go to bed. Making minor adjustments to your nighttime routine can allow you more time to sleep in the morning. It is important to note that showering before bed can contribute to difficulty falling asleep at night, so take a warm bath instead of showering. If you find that you are waking up frequently throughout the night, try to avoid opening your eyes or getting out of bed. The best tactic is to keep your eyes shut and do not move from a comfortable sleeping position if you awake prematurely. This will help you fall back asleep immediately, leading to longer periods of sleep.  If you find that you can’t fall asleep again within 20 minutes of waking up prematurely, then it is likely a lost cause. Wake up and go through your daily routine again so that you will be ready to go to sleep and stay asleep the next night. If it is still several hours before your usual wake up time, try having an herbal tea or reading a book for a few minutes. These things may help you relax enough to fall back asleep. While it is not always possible, one way to get more sleep at night is to eliminate pressing...

TL;DR in English: Wake up with your alarm. Prepare morning necessities the night before. Stay in bed. Try to keep your mornings stress-free.

The bulb consists of the roots and the clumped dirt that is attached to them. If you buy your tree from a nursery, it may already be in an appropriately-sized container—just ask the sales associate to make sure. If you do need to re-pot it, look for a 5 US gal (19 L) pot for a 2 to 3 year-old tree or a 10 US gal (38 L) pot for trees older than that. A pot bigger than 15 US gal (57 L) will be really hard to move around. Pick sandy or loamy soil for an option that drains well. Avoid using soil made with clay or that has heavy alkaline levels. Cover the bulbed part of the tree (the roots and the dirt attached to the roots), but stop when you get to the base of the roots.  Lemon trees are pretty hardy and can grow in many different types of soil, though the loamy soil is the preferred type. If you want to test the pH level, aim for a reading between 5.5 and 6.5 for optimal growth. If the soil is too acidic, you could add a base like compost or manure to the soil. If the soil isn’t acidic enough, add a compound made of powdered limestone. Fertilize the tree every 1 to 2 months during the spring and summer and every 2 to 3 months during the fall and winter. Use a citrus-specific fertilizer, and only apply it to the top of the soil; don’t mix it in with the rest of the soil. Spring and summer are the active-growing months; fall and winter are the dormant months. Water the tree while slowly counting to 20. Stop once you notice water starting to come out of the bottom of the pot; if after 20 seconds you still don’t see water coming out of the pot, continue counting and watering for an additional 10 seconds. If your climate is particularly dry, keep an eye on the soil and the leaves of the tree. If the soil is dry to the touch or if the leaves are drooping, water the tree. During the hottest months, you may need to water it once or twice a week. While lemon trees need a lot of water, they also shouldn’t be left to sit in water. If the pot is outside, place it somewhere that rainwater will flow away from it rather than...

TL;DR in English:


Preach the need. Explain the process. Say a prayer. Set the tone.

Begin the chant by reciting the words aloud in a clear, strong voice. By both speaking and hearing the words, you awaken your conscious mind to the meaning of those words.  To further guide your conscious mind, you can also play a recording of the chant for a few minutes and chant along with it. Doing so is only optional, though. Chant at a normal volume or a slightly louder than normal volume when you start. The louder your own voice resonates within you, the easier it will be to drown out all unrelated thoughts and feelings. Gradually decrease the volume of your voice. Soften it to a whisper before closing your mouth altogether and reciting the words only in your mind.  Once your conscious thoughts are focused on the chant, reduce your volume to a whisper. This action brings your chant to a subconscious level. As you whisper, you should eventually feel the words and rhythm of the chant vibrate throughout your mind. At that point, remain outwardly silent and continue chanting inside your mind. Imagine fixating your chant at a place in between your eyebrows. At this point, you have drawn the chant into your super conscious, elevating it to a spiritual discipline. As your volume decreases, the speed at which you recite the lines should gradually increase. After reciting the chant at a rapid speed for a short period of time, gradually decrease the speed back to normal again. Varying the speed of your chants can refresh and refocus your mind when it begins to stray. By changing the pace of your words, you must pay closer attention to the words themselves. When you are reciting a repetitive prayer or mantra, keeping count of the number of recitations can also keep you focused. One of the easiest, most common ways to keep count is to use some form of prayer or chant beads.   Mala, or Japa-Mala, are strings of beads used to count Sanskrit mantras. These beads allow you to count your prayers in sets of 108 repetitions. A Rosary is a similar set of prayer beads used by Roman Catholics. Each element of the Rosary has...

TL;DR in English: Chant aloud. Decrease the volume. Vary the speed. Keep count. Chant in rhythm with your breathing. Interject the occasional prayer.

There are lots of small ways you can get active throughout your day. These small activities can burn calories and help you get on your way to shedding those pregnancy pounds. Adding more activity into your daily schedule can also help you start shedding those pounds. Try to find time in between your normal activities to fit in at least 10 minutes of exercise. That’s all it takes! Ten minutes, three times a day, and you can make sure you’re maintaining a healthy weight and keeping your body in shape. You can do things like:  Squats at the stove while you wait for dinner to cook. A jog around the parking lot at lunch. An extra trip (or couple of trips) up and down the stairs before work. Good examples of little ways to be more active include taking the stairs instead of the elevator, using a standing or treadmill desk, or sitting on an exercise ball instead of a chair. If you’re having trouble finding time for exercise, find a way to work your baby into your routine. Playtime can become workout time! There are specially-designed workout routines that incorporate your baby, but you can also use less structured means as well.  Use a baby wrap to hold your child and then do squats, lunges, and other similar motions. This will have the added benefit of being fun and soothing for your baby. You can also use your baby as a weight and lift them up and down to build strength in your arms. You’ll need this because they’ll be toddler-sized before you know it! If your body is having a hard time recovering from giving birth or if you had to have a C-section, you might want to start with gentle exercises until your muscles build up strength again.  Swimming, walking, and tai chi are good examples. You can also take your baby for a walk! Put them in a carrier your chest (which has them facing you) to burn even more calories. Talk to your doctor about what activities are and aren’t a good idea if you’ve had a C-section. Everyone will be at a different point in your healing process so specific advice is complicated. If you’re...

TL;DR in English: Find little ways to get more active. Do exercises that involve your baby. Try gentle exercises. Try efficient exercises. Give your body time.

Find a straight twig that fits comfortably in a pencil grip. It should be at least three to four times thicker than the 2-mm pencil lead you'll be using for the project, but no more than ½ inch (13mm). You can get creative by looking for a twig with an interesting color pattern or texture. Avoid selecting any piece of wood that could give you a splinter. Use small to medium pruning clippers to trim the twig down to about 5 inches (13 cm). Also cut away any parts that could get in the way as you write. Take this time to examine the interior of your twig. If you see bugs or holes from pest damage, discard it and find a new one. Use a clamp to secure the twig to the edge of a workbench or to a piece of plywood. Apply enough pressure to hold the twig in place, but no more. Too much pressure can snap the twig. Situate the twig so that the cut end hangs slightly over the edge of your work station. This will be the writing end of your pencil. Locate the center of the cut end (the intended writing end) of your twig. Firmly yet carefully press into this center point with a scratch awl. You should use just enough force to leave an indentation in the wood at this point.  You can use a sharp nail tip instead of a scratch awl. This indentation will become the starting point for your drill bit. Fit your drill with a 3/32-inch (2.4-mm) drill bit. Drill straight into the twig using the indentation you just made as a starting point. Keep going until you hit a depth between 1 and 1.25 inches (2.5 and 3.2 cm). Pull the drill bit out occasionally as you work, to clear away wood chips from the flutes or grooves. If these wood chips appear stuck in the drill bit, stop the drill and quickly scrub the sides of the bit with an old toothbrush or similar utensil. Test that the lead fits in the hole, then drill the hole wider if necessary. Once you're sure it fits, squirt a shallow puddle of white craft glue onto a piece of scrap cardboard. Roll the bottom 1 to 1.25 inch (2.5 to 3.2 cm) of your lead in this glue.  Make sure that the...

TL;DR in English: Select a good twig. Cut the twig down to size. Clamp the twig down. Dent the end of the twig. Drill into the twig. Coat your lead in glue. Insert the lead into the twig. Trim the end of the lead. Sharpen the pencil. Use your new pencil.

There's some truth to the old adage that dogs and other animals can "sense fear". If you become agitated and run or scream, you may make the dog feel more confident in his attack, or, worse, you may appear threatening to the dog. Neither of these is a good situation to be in. When a dog approaches, stand completely still with your hands at your sides, like a tree, and avert your eyes. In many cases the dog will lose interest and walk away if you ignore him.  Do not wave your arms around or kick with your legs; the dog may perceive these actions as threatening. Don't make eye contact, since that could also cause the dog to lunge. Stand sideways to the dog and keep him in your peripheral vision instead of facing him and making eye contact. This will signal to the dog that you are not a threat. Don't open your hands and arms up to a bite by extending them. Keep your fingers curled into fists to avoid getting them bitten.  The dog may come quite close, even sniffing you, without actually biting. Running away can awaken the dog's prey instinct to chase and catch animals. He may pursue you vigorously even if his initial intent was just playful.  Additionally, you won't be able to outrun most dogs if you're on foot. Even if you are on a bicycle, many dogs will be able to catch up to you. If the dog continues to threaten you, offer him something to chew on, such as your backpack or water bottle: anything but your arm or leg. This may distract him enough to give you time to escape. You may want to carry treats or toys when traveling in areas known to be home to dangerous dogs. If approached by an angry dog, throw your treats or toy away from you. The dog may go after these instead of you.

TL;DR in English: Do not panic. Make yourself rigid and motionless. Do not try to run away. Distract the dog with another object.

Before you can call unbelievers to the altar, you need to make sure they understand what the call is actually about. This means that you'll need to deliver a powerful sermon that doesn't shy away from the truth about sin, repentance, and the urgency of accepting Christ as Savior.  Preach the gospel. Make sure that your message is derived from the Bible's teachings on repenting and believing.  Don't shy away from the harsh reality of sin. You won't be able to stress the importance of salvation without explaining the consequence of living and dying without it. Your message should clearly explain that accepting Jesus is equivalent to being rescued, not a trick you can use to make your life better. Stress the importance of repentance alongside forgiveness. Explain "church lingo" each time you use it. Terms that you might use regularly, like "born again," "saved," and "repent," can be completely unfamiliar to nonbelievers. Announce the altar call after you finish the sermon. As you make the announcement, explain how the process will work physically and how it should work spiritually. Spelling out the steps can make potential converts feel more at ease. The fear of the unknown can cause plenty of people to hesitate, but describing each stage of the altar call in advance can remove some of that fear. Lead the congregation in prayer at the start of the altar call. Ask God to move the hearts of those who still need to accept Him and to continue working in the hearts and lives of those who already have. Even though the focus is on those who need to repent and accept Christ, you need to address current believers in your prayer, too. Everyone should be able to benefit from this opportunity for spiritual renewal. Play soft music in the background. Dim the lights, but make sure that there is still enough light to maintain visibility.  The idea is to make the environment peaceful since peace encourages reflection. During the actual invitation to the altar, instrumental music is usually preferred over music with lyrics....

If you live with someone who has an overactive sex drive, then he or she may want to have sex at odd times of the day or even multiple times of the day. It is important for you to express your feelings about this behavior and set clear boundaries about when you are willing to have sex. Keep in mind that your partner may feel rejected or think that you don’t like to have sex with him or her at all. Make sure that you emphasize your attraction to your partner to minimize conflict.  For example, if your partner often wants to have sex in the morning when you are trying to get ready for work, explain why this is inconvenient for you. You might say something like, “I love all of the affection that you give me in the morning, but I have been late a few times because of it. I think that we need to keep these encounters to the evening when I have more time to spend with you." Or, if your partner wants to have sex multiple times every day, then you might say, “I am glad that you are attracted to me. I am attracted to you too. However, my sex drive is not as high as yours, so I can’t keep having sex two or three times every day.” People with high sex drives may benefit from incorporating vigorous exercise and other activities into their daily lives. If your partner does not exercise much or if he or she does not have any hobbies, then encourage your partner to do these things. For example, your partner might take up running, cycling, dancing, or swimming to provide an outlet for sexual desire and frustration. Your partner might also take up an enjoyable hobby, such as knitting, cooking, or playing an instrument. Some people might feel like it is not appropriate to masturbate when you are in a relationship, so you may need to discuss your feelings about this with your partner. If your partner is interested in having sex every day or multiple times per day, then he or she may need to masturbate once per day or every other day to control his or her sex drive. Talk to your partner about masturbating on a regular basis. For...

TL;DR in English: Set boundaries. Encourage your partner to find non-sexual outlets. Tell your partner that you are okay with masturbation. Consider other ways of meeting your partner’s needs. Build emotional intimacy.

The ridge-line will support the top section of your tarp shelter.  This line is created by stringing a length of cord between two trees.  This gives your tarp an elevated point of support and will form the shape of the a-frame tarp shelter.  Place the ridge-line using these steps:  Tie one section of the rope to a tree.  Place it as high up the tree trunk as you would like the roof of your tarp shelter to be. Bring the other end over to the adjacent tree and tie it at the same level. Make sure the cord is as tight as it can be to ensure a strong ridge-line. Once your ridge-line has been created, you can lay the tarp over top of it.  For an a-frame tarp shelter, place the tarp over the ridge-line in the center of the tarp.  This will leave equal halves of the tarp hanging down from the ridge-line. Make sure the tarp is equally hanging from both sides of the ridge-line to avoid problems. After you've placed the tarp over the ridge-line, you can fasten it to the ground.  Take one of the bottom sections of tarp and pull it outwards, away from the center of the tent.  Once you've gotten it to a place that you like, secure it to the ground by taking these steps:  Place a tent stake into the ground, near to the point the tarps corner while it is stretched out. Tie a length of cord between the tent stake and the corner of the tarp. Make sure this cord is tight and holds the tarp securely to the ground. Do the same thing for each of the other three corners of your a-frame tarp shelter.

TL;DR in English: Create the ridge-line. Lay the tarp over the rope. Anchor the tarp to the ground.

You will need one Potency rune, one Essence rune, and one Aspect rune. You need one of each to make a glyph. If you want to make more than one glyph, you need to find multiple runes of each type. The runes have the following traits: Potency affects level, Essence affects what the rune does, and Aspect affects the quality. Enchanting tables appear as a series of crystals on your map. They are usually found within any Mages Guild building. Do this by walking up to it and hitting the A button. A list of your current runes will appear on the screen. Pick a rune in each category (Potency, Essence, and Aspect—you can check under each rune for the effect it will have). Once selected, hit the A button to craft your runes into a glyph. If you have enough runes for more glyphs, continue making them. Hit the “Start” button, scroll down to “Inventory,” and select “Weapons” in your inventory menu. This is where all your current weapons are. Press the Y button to open the action menu for this weapon. Select “Enchant” from the list of actions by hitting the A button over it, and a list will pop up showing your current glyphs. Hit the A button on a glyph to add it to your weapon. Your weapon will now be enchanted with the glyph you made. Enjoy your newly enchanted weapon. You can mix and match runes to create even more powerful glyphs.

TL;DR in English: Loot enemies, chests, and other containers to find runestones. Locate an Enchanting Table in any major city. Activate the Enchanting Table. Create a glyph. Open your Weapon inventory menu. Find the weapon you want to enchant and scroll down to it. Enchant the weapon.

Overly long messages tend to get ignored more often than succinctly worded ones.  Send them a short and to the point email introducing yourself, referencing some of their work that you admire, asking for what you want from them, and requesting a meeting or a phone call.  Your email might read “Dear Dr. Locklear, I’m reaching out to let you know that I am fascinated with your work on the dialects of North Carolina.  I hope to do work that is very similar one day and I am hoping to find someone assist me in this journey.  I was wondering if you would consider being my mentor and if so, could we meet for 15-20 minutes this week or next?” Be sure to know their title.  Don’t call them Mrs. if they are a Dr. Before sending the email, ensure that the subject line is attention grabbing.  Avoid generic and vague email subjects like “Hello” or “From a Fan.”  Use this opportunity to create something eye-catching so that it won’t go ignored. An example could be “Inspired by Your Research on Cultural Appropriation”. If you come off as overly needy, entitled, or self-centered, your potential mentor may wish to distance themselves from you. Take care to avoid the following pitfalls, which could alienate a potential mentor:  Being excessively needy. Demanding too much of their time, or not letting them know that you value their time. Being insincere or going overboard with compliments and praise. Making the relationship one-sided. Your mentor will be more interested in helping you if you have something of value to offer in return. When you enter the meeting, no matter how short it is, be prepared and be sure to have notes with questions you may have.  Shake their hand firmly, come well dressed, and try to speak slowly and assertively.  Avoid rambling and don’t interrupt them when they are speaking. You will feel more confident, appear more serious, and be less likely to waste your own and your mentor’s time if you prepare for the meeting in advance. Once you are in the meeting, reiterate and expound on your wishes for them...

TL;DR in English: Send a succinct email. Make the subject line eye-catching. Be humble and respectful. Come to the meeting prepared. Get to the point and avoid endless small talk. Talk about how they can help you. Keep it short.

How you approach the situation depends on how much evidence you have supporting any wrongdoing. You will have to handle situations that are based on strong suspicions differently than you would those with clear evidence.  For suspicions, it's best to present what you suspect in a non-confrontational manner and try to tease out the truth during the interaction. For evidence-based accusations, you should state your claim and present the evidence that you have. In these cases, there's little room for the person wiggling out of the responsibility. Lay out the facts you know by telling the story from your perspective. The person may interject and correct you on part of the story if there’s a detail that is wrong. This may give you a partial confession. You can also deliberately change part of the story to entice them to correct you. For instance, you could say, “So you went to the bar last night,” even though you believe they went somewhere else incriminating. This may prompt them to correct you, which could lead you to the truth. Ask the same question over again in different ways. Be mindful of them saying the same phrases when answering, as this could indicate they’ve rehearsed what they’re going to say. They may also be inconsistent with their answers, which could show they are lying. You could also ask them to tell their story starting from the end and leading up to the beginning or ask them to start in the middle. Relaying the story back may cause them to create errors in their story, which could show they aren’t telling the truth. The language you use can play a huge role in whether a person tells you the truth or not. Using language that implies fault may cause the person to withhold. Selecting less harsh words can encourage the person to tell the truth. For instance, use the word “took” instead of “stole” or “spent time with someone” rather than “cheated.” The person may be more apt to admit guilt if you use more favorable language. Bluffing is a dangerous, yet often effective, tactic. It involves you...

TL;DR in English: Distinguish between a suspicion and evidence-based accusation. Tell a version of their story. Change things up. Choose your words carefully. Bluff, if necessary. Avoid physical coercion.

To maintain the shiny finish of the fiberglass, apply automotive white wax. Wash the pan down with a wet rag and then use a rag to lightly apply the wax to dull or scratched areas. Some manufacturers recommend that you perform this treatment twice a year. If you want your pan to keep its shiny appearance all the time, keep a squeegee in the shower. When you finish taking your showers, use the squeegee to pick up moisture and dry off the pan. Fiberglass is fragile and can easily be scratched up. Never use scouring powders, scouring pads, steel wool, scrapers, or bleach to clean fiberglass.

TL;DR in English: Condition the pan with an automotive white wax. Dry the pan after every use. Keep abrasive cleaners away from your fiberglass.

The same way men splash their face with cool water to close pores after a typical morning shave, lowering the water temperature just before getting out will feel soothing, and it will close chest pores. Don’t rub the area dry since that can lead to additional irritation. Instead use a fresh towel to pat the area dry. Before dressing apply a lotion or moisturizer for your skin type and allow it to dry. Chafing from shirts can lead to more irritation or even ingrown hairs, but a moisturizer will help reduce this risk. Adding the process to your shower regimen once or twice a week will keep the area smooth and stubble free. It will also negate the need to use a trimmer beforehand since you'll be maintaining the hair at such a short length.

TL;DR in English: Lower the water temperature. Pat dry with a clean towel. Use lotion or moisturizer on your chest. Repeat as necessary.

Sodium thiosulfate, also known as photograph fixer, can be used to neutralize the effects of bleach stains on fabric. It can be purchased at local department and pet stores, or it can be purchased through big-box stores and online retailers.  Find products that are advertised as chlorine neutralizers. Those will contain the sodium thiosulfate needed to treat the bleach stain on the fabric.  This works well as an immediate treatment. If the stain has been sitting for a while, the diluted solution might not remove the stain entirely, but instead make it considerably less noticeable. Mix the solution in a bowl or a plastic basin you solely use for cleaning purposes. Make sure to stir this diluted solution with a disposable spoon until all of the sodium thiosulfate is dissolved. You don’t have to use a white cloth to do this, any old cloth with work fine. Just know that a cloth that is not white will retain stains from the bleach you are lifting from the fabric. Use cotton balls if you do not have a clean cloth. Make sure to blot the fabric and not rub it. If you rub the fabric with the diluted solution you could potentially damage the fabric. Rinse the fabric in cold water if the stain is still visible. Then treat it again with the diluted sodium thiosulfate. Continue to treat the fabric until the stain is reduce to your liking. Even if you have rinsed the fabric in cold water, you need to make sure that all of the diluted sodium thiosulfate is gone. Separately wash the fabric so the item is clean and ready for you to wear.

Pour this new mixture into a large squirt bottle. Test the mix by spraying it onto a small portion of your plant. Spray the mixture anywhere you have problems.

If you have a toddler who doesn’t know how to count, start off simple. Give them a coin and say, “This is 1 coin.” Then, give them another coin and say, “This is 2 coins.” Continue doing this until you reach 5 to 6 coins and see if over time the toddler can count them with you.  It may be helpful to repeat the words “one” and “two” to the toddler until they can repeat them back to you. Be patient with your toddler. It may take several sessions until the child starts repeating the words. Teach the child the names of coins, their size, and what color they are. Give the child a handful of coins and ask them to organize them into different piles. Recite the names of the coins and see if they can point to the correct coin or repeat the name after you. For instance, you can say, “This silver coin is a quarter, and it’s the largest of all the coins. Can you point to another quarter?” A piggy bank will teach the child how to start saving their money. Giving them a clear jar over a porcelain piggy bank, however, will let them visually see the money pile up. As they start saving more coins, be enthusiastic and encouraging about their saving habits.  You can say something like, “Wow! You’ve saved so many coins since I’ve last looked. Great job!” You can give a child a piggy bank starting at the age of 2 to 3. Help your child use a coin machine at the grocery store to show your child how the coins they have saved can be exchanged for dollars. It’s okay to allow your young child to make purchases, but help them set a goal for saving money as well. There are several informative and fun children's books that can help educate your child about money. Search online for titles that you think that your child would enjoy and purchase them online or at a bookstore. Then, read the books to them and explain any lessons that they don’t understand. Examples include Money Madness, Once Upon a Dime, and  One Cent, Two Cents, Old Cent, New Cents.

TL;DR in English: Use coins to teach 1- to 2-year-olds how to count. Teach 3- to 4-year-old children about coins based on color and size. Give the child a clear piggy bank and encourage saving. Read books to your child that teaches them about money.

When you eat small meals throughout the day, rather than three large meals each day, you should be able to maintain a high energy level. Going too long without eating can decrease your energy levels, making it important to eat small, healthy snacks between meals. When you eat a large meal, your body puts more energy towards digesting the food, which in turn can make you tired. Proteins help to create enzymes and hormones that keep you from feeling as fatigued. Eating lean proteins can also help to keep your blood sugar levels balanced so that you don’t experience a peak (and subsequent crash) that could heighten your fatigue. Foods that are considered to be good sources of protein include:  Poultry like chicken, duck, and turkey. Lean cuts of beef, ham and pork. Seafood like salmon, tuna, trout, and cod. Beans, peas, and processed soy products. Nuts and seeds like almonds or sunflower seeds. In your everyday diet, avoid eating carbohydrates and sugars and spiking your blood sugar. Researchers have linked the symptoms of PMS with low blood sugar or hypoglycemia. Although it would seem that you should eat more sugar and carbohydrates to raise your sugar level, it actually has the opposite effect. Within two hours your sugar level has plummeted again after insulin has metabolized all the glucose in your bloodstream.  Often times women reach for comfort foods during their periods. Things like mac 'n cheese or a slice of cake may strike you as exactly what you need to help you feel better when you have your period, but it actually works against you by making you feel more tired. Do your best to resist cravings and comfort foods and reach for healthy snacks instead. Instead, it is important to eat foods that are high in healthy fats, which will stabilize your blood sugar and protect your heart from heart disease and stroke.  These are not trans-fats found in baked goods, which are the worst type of fat that you can eat. The baked goods are also high in carbohydrates, which spike your blood sugar. Try eating complex...

TL;DR in English: Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day. Eat more protein to boost your energy levels. Eat fewer carbohydrates and sugars. Prevent anemia.

You should harvest the peanuts before the first frost of fall occurs, since peanuts at this stage are still sensitive to frost attacks.  The plant will turn yellow and begin to wilt when it is ready to be harvested.  Gently dig up the entire plant with your gardening fork, lifting it up from beneath the roots. Shake off most of the soil clinging to the roots. A healthy plant will usually yield about 30 to 50 peanuts. Hang the plant indoors in a dry location for about a month.  For the first one to two weeks, let the peanuts cure on the plant as they are in a warm, dry spot. For the remaining two weeks or so, pull the nuts off and let them dry in the same warm, dry spot. You can enjoy the peanuts raw or roasted, or you can save them for later.  To roast peanuts, bake them in an oven set at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius) for 20 minutes. To store peanuts, leave them in their shells and place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to  6 months. If you cannot refrigerate your peanuts, they can stay good for 3 months in a dry, dark storage area. Peanuts can also be frozen for a year or longer.

TL;DR in English: Dig out the entire plant with a spading fork. Dry the plant out. Roast or store the plants as desired.

Voluminous waves are great for a night out with friends or a formal event. It is a sexy and dramatic look. To get these waves, first part your hair to whichever side you prefer. Then, set your hair in 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) rollers. Leave the rollers in for at least 30 minutes. Finally, take out the rollers and keep the style in place by spraying your hair with a strong hold hairspray. If you're using rollers on damp hair, wait until the hair is completely dry—either through air drying or under a heated dryer—before removing the rollers. This style is great for a formal event. To get this look, begin by taking about a 1 inch (2.5 cm) section of your hair. Use your thumb and index finger to create a loop with that section of hair. Then, roll that loop upwards or downward into a spiral. Only roll up to the ears and keep all of your hair from the ears up sleek and smooth. Use a single-prong clip to keep each curl in place. Repeat on the rest of your hair until all of it is pin curls. Finish with hairspray to keep the pin curls in place. When you take the pin curls out, you will get beachy waves.

TL;DR in English: Use rollers to create voluminous waves. Create pinned curls for a throwback look to the 1920s.

Avoid anti-bacterial, scented, and other specialized soaps, since these may damage your plants. Dawn and castile soap are both great choices. Measure out both ingredients and pour them into a large bowl. Use either canola or vegetable cooking oil for best results. Stir the ingredients well to mix them thoroughly. Use a funnel to easily transfer the mixture into the spray bottle. Give the mixture another vigorous shake once you get it inside the bottle. If the section of the plant you test the spray on wilts or changes color, try using a different soap for this pesticide or another type of pesticide. If you tested your solution and it did not cause any harm to your plant, spray it around your entire plant, including the undersides of leaves. Focus on areas where pests lay their eggs, since an oil spray is designed to target eggs and immature bugs. Use the spray during the early morning or late afternoon, since direct sunlight could burn your plants after using oil.

TL;DR in English:


Carry someone out of a car. Drag someone by the legs. Drag someone by the shoulders. Carry the victim only when absolutely necessary.

If someone has done something to cause you pain or suffering, the worst thing you can do is return the favor just for the sake of proving a point. Doing so will only compromise your own honor, integrity, and respectability. Stay true to your values and be the bigger person.  Choosing not to act on your vengeful urges can also be very empowering. It screams loud and clear that the only person who has control over your actions and reactions is you.  There’s a lot of truth to be found in the old Spanish proverb, “No revenge is more honorable than the one not taken.” Talk to a trusted loved one about your enemy’s actions and the impact they’ve had on you. More often than not, the fires of revenge are fueled by hurt, not anger. By working through your emotions and coming to terms with the way you were wronged, you’ll be on the fast track to making peace with it and moving on with your life. Getting reassurance from someone who cares about you is far more satisfying and impactful than making your enemies grovel at your feet. In fact, scientific research shows that acts of revenge rarely make the person committing them feel any better at all. Contemplating revenge can give you a sinister thrill, but, taken too far, it can also cast a shadow over your life. Resist the urge to continually reopen old wounds by maintaining an upbeat attitude and taking stock of the things you’re thankful for. In this way, you can break the cycle of rage and one-upmanship that threatens to keep you stuck in an unhealthy state of mind.  Try to look at your enemy’s actions as a blessing in disguise. It could be, for instance, that they’re a former friend who’s stabbed you in the back, and their betrayal has made you more careful about who you let into your inner circle. Don’t feel too bad about being a target for your enemy’s scorn. The fact that they would go to such great lengths to interfere with your happiness means that they think you’re important. Malicious words and actions can sting, but they can also have an energizing effect....

TL;DR in English: Refuse to stoop to your enemy’s level. Vent your feelings to your friends and family. Focus on the good that comes from the situation rather than the bad. Use your enemy’s hostility towards you as motivation.

Place your bait at various depths to create an attractive setup, setting out the shallowest lines first and the deepest lines last so that the lines don't become tangled. Toss the pieces off of the transom until you have a visible chum click. Toss in new pieces every minute or so to keep the chum slick constant. Make sure that your hooked baits are within the chum slick.  If you are finding fish at different depths than the depths at which you set your bait, then you may want to change your bait depth. A bluefin will be 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 m) on your fish finder and will have a characteristic hump shaped like an upside-down "V."

TL;DR in English: Hook live bait, like whiting or herring, through the nose. Cut whiting or herring in 3 to 4 pieces to create a chum slick. Set the balloon and allow the bait to drift away from the boat. Watch your sounder.

Field guides provide information about the different species of birds you may be able to see in your region.  There are many to choose from, and some are available online.  However, some people prefer to purchase a hard copy of the field guide with illustrations or pictures to help you in your identification process. A good pair of binoculars with decent magnification (x7 or x8) can be a handy tool when trying to identify different birds.  For example, it may be very difficult to spot the subtle differences in color patterns between the Downy and the Hairy Woodpecker without the use of binoculars. Purchase a wire or mesh feeder (to keep out the squirrels) and set it up with a feed that both species of woodpecker enjoy.  Both Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers feed on suet, which is a great source of protein and fat for them.  This is particularly necessary during the cold winter months. Seeds, especially sunflower seeds, are also a popular choice. Be aware that because of their diminutive stature Downy's will often wait until other birds are away from the feeder to use it.  Hairy's can be more aggressive. If you have time and a relatively high-quality camera, taking photographs of the different birds allows you to keep a visual record and undertake a more detailed comparison.  It also affords you a chance to examine the birds when they are still, unlike in the wild, where they are often in flight or moving. Woodpeckers are an essential part of the regional ecosystem, they help to control the insect population and make nest cavities that are used by other species of birds and mammals who can not excavate them on their own. You should take care not to disrupt the birds or their habitat. The first principle of the American Birding Association is that bird-watchers should promote the welfare of birds and their environment, be mindful of this when you are trying to identify different bird species.

TL;DR in English: Use a field guide. Invest in a pair of binoculars. Set up an attractive feeder. Take photographs for comparison. Respect the birds.

The 2 basic green bean varieties are bush beans and pole beans. The bushes of bush beans spread out along the ground, and only grow to about 1–2 feet (0.30–0.61 m) high. While bush beans only tend to produce a single harvest during a growing season, they are relatively easy to grow and don't require much tending.  Bush beans spread out horizontally while pole beans need to climb vertically. Bush beans do not need any sort of support in the garden, while pole beans require a trellis to climb. Recommended bush varieties for most regions include Bush Blue Lake and Bountiful. Pole beans mature more quickly than bush beans do, which means that you'll be able to harvest pole beans sooner. They also grow beans continually during the growing season, so you'll get a larger number of beans from each individual plant than you would with bush beans.  Recommended pole varieties for most regions include Fortex and Kentucky Wonder. Install a trellis for your pole beans to climb, such as a cattle panel, wooden lattice, or similar garden trellis. Green beans need plenty of sunlight to grow properly, so try to choose an area of your garden that receives full sun for your planting site. Since green beans do not do well in heavily-moist soil, you should avoid shaded locations, since shade tends to help soil retain moisture for prolonged periods. Green beans thrive in loamy soil, so if your garden has heavy clay soil or sandy soil, you should amend it with organic material before planting your green beans. Loamy soil is dark and crumbly. Test the soil by squeezing it in your hands. Clay soil stays in a ball and sandy soil falls apart completely. Loamy soil will hold its shape initially yet break apart when touched.  If working with clay-heavy soil, spread 2 inches (5.1 cm) of manure or compost over the soil and work it into the top 1 foot (30 cm) of soil using a shovel, garden fork, or rototiller. You could also mix sawdust or sand into the soil if it is especially heavy. If working with sandy soil, spread the same amount of...

TL;DR in English: Plant bush beans for a reliable, easy harvest. Plant pole beans for a quicker, larger harvest. Pick a sunny spot to plant your crop. Amend the soil with compost until it has a loamy texture. Apply a 10-20-10 fertilizer to the soil before planting the seeds. Grow them in a container if you'd rather not sow them in the ground.

A possibly injured victim should be left in place whenever possible, since moving may cause injury. If the car is burning or there is another reason the victim must move immediately, follow these instructions:  Move the victim's legs clear of the pedals. Rotate the victim so her back faces the open car door. Lock your arms under her armpits and in front of her chest. Drag the victim to a safe location, supporting her head with your body. If her legs or feet catch on the car, slowly lower her to the ground, lift her legs out by hand, then drag using the next step. If the ground is smooth and there are no obvious leg injuries, use this technique to move the victim out of the danger area. Crouch low and grab the patient's ankles. Lean back and pull the victim to safety. Leaning back uses your own body weight as leverage, allowing you to drag someone much heavier than yourself.  To reduce the risk of self-injury, do not extend your arms more than 15–20 inches (38–51cm). Flex your arms slowly backwards, then reposition yourself before pulling again.  Some first aid agencies do not like this method because it drags the victim's head along the ground. For this reason, never use it on rough ground. Bend over next to the top of the person's head. Grasp the victim's clothing underneath the shoulders, supporting her head with your arm. Drag backward. Alternatively, pull the victim's arms above her head. Grip the elbows, pressing them against the victim's head to support it. Use this method if the victim's clothing is torn or weak. Carrying someone is a last resort in an emergency. It can make an injury worse, or expose the victim to smoke inhalation during a fire. Use it only when immediate movement is necessary, and dragging is not possible.  If the victim is unconscious, it can take considerable strength to lift her to a standing position. To do this, roll the person onto her stomach. Kneel at the top of her head, and place both arms under her armpits. Grasp her back and stand by pushing with your legs, keeping both...

Make legal preparations if you are traveling out of the country. Get vaccinated, if necessary. Pack for the weather. Leave room for a few souvenirs. Buy your honey a honeymoon-themed gift for the trip.

Hydration's importance can't be stressed enough, as water keeps your strong, safe, and healthy. You should drink 4-8 ounces of water each hour at least two days before a race, along with electrolytes-rich foods like bananas and pretzels to help retain that water. One hour before running, gulp 16oz of water, and keep sipping before you leave. The best practice is to keep a water bottle with you all day, simply sipping throughout instead of trying to chug it down later. Constant hydration will do wonders for your stamina. You want food that'll move through your body quickly and provide you with some lasting energy. Try toast with jelly and peanut butter, oatmeal with a bit of fruit, pasta with olive oil and lean chicken, or some granola and yogurt.  You want a light mix of carbs, simple sugars, and a little bit of protein. Avoid excessive dairy, greasy or fatty foods, and empty sugars found in candies and sweets. Over the course of a run, most people's bodies heat up 10-15 degrees, so assume it's about 10 degrees warmer outside, even if it means you must warm up while a little chilly. Try to avoid cotton shirts -- synthetics made for exercises are far more effective at staying dry and comfortable. Wet cotton is not only hot and sticky, it can get noticeably heavy. For races or big events, warm up in warm clothing, removing it once you have a light sweat going. This literally helps your muscles get warm, which makes them more pliable. Don't jump out the front door at top speed -- give you muscles some time to prepare themselves for the stress of a long run. A slow, light jog will lightly stretch and warm up your muscles, allowing you to gradually pick up speed. Many runners like to jog for 5-10 minutes, then stop and stretch, allowing them to jump right into their normal running speed right as they start the clock. . Studies show that the classic "stretch and hold" warm-up, performed on its own, can actually decrease muscle efficiency. Dynamic stretches, however, mimic real running more naturally to eliminate...

TL;DR in English: Hydrate as much, and as regularly, as possible. Eat a simple, low-fiber meal about 1-2 hours before running. Dress in light, breathable clothing, knowing your body temperature will soon rise. Start the first 5-10 minutes at a light pace, roughly a third of your top speed. Use a dynamic warm-up, not static stretching, to prepare your muscles for grueling distances

Most people's eyebrows grow in a 3-4 month cycle, so hide your tweezers and get comfortable with the idea that your eyebrows might look a bit strange for several months. This is a fairly lengthy process and you're going to have to be patient.  Leave all those random looking baby hairs alone, even if they seem nowhere near your brow. If you have hairs that grow in odd directions or straight out, it could be due to damage from tweezing or waxing.  If the regrowth really bothers you, you can try taming them with brow gel or cover them with a little concealer. Most serums will prolong the first stage of hair growth, the anagen phase, which is when your hair is actively growing. This results in longer, fuller hair. Some will also stimulate more follicles to enter this stage so you actually grow more hair.  Most of these serums require daily (sometimes twice-daily) application, and don't provide a permanent boost in hair growth: you have to continuously use them to keep seeing results.  It usually takes a minimum six weeks of diligent use to start seeing results from a growth serum.  Look for products with prostaglandin, a hormone-like compound that occurs naturally in the body and can increase hair growth.  There is no guarantee that growth serums will work on everyone--sometimes hair follicles are damaged or made dormant by long-term tweezing, which makes it difficult to regrow hair. Like massage, exfoliation stimulates blood flow and can help your brows grow more quickly. Use a clean tooth brush. Scrub each brow, starting in the center of your forehead and working out towards the temples. Do this once a day.Do not use the same toothbrush that you use on your teeth. Keep a clean toothbrush for this purpose. You will still have hair that is growing not quite at your brow line, but don't start shaping or plucking them yet. Even at this point, your hair may still be growing back at unruly angles. Don't give up on these hairs--as your follicle becomes healthier and your hair goes through a few growth cycles, they...

TL;DR in English: Stop tweezing, waxing, and threading. Use a serum on your brows to promote faster growth. Exfoliate your brows. Begin tweezing only those hairs closest to your eyelid and lash line after letting your hair grow for four months. Give your new brow hair at least four to six months to grow in around your actual eyebrow.

The sense of smell is very sensitive to the aromas of food and other fragrances. Make something sweet in the morning and the nose will arouse the body to discover what smells so delicious.  Prepare scented tea or strong coffee in the morning. A whiff is sure to motivate them to get out of bed and enjoy a tasty cup-o-Joe or herbal tea. Fill the room with one of their favorite scents. Try citrus smells or one of a variety of popular aerosols used for refreshing the smell of a room. Bake or fry a sweet or bitter dish. Few people can resist the smell of home cooked food. Deliver breakfast in bed. They might not get out of bed, but they will certainly wake up. Whether you need to gently shake the bed, body, pillow, or have natural sunlight hit their face, the sense of touch is another good way to help a deaf or hard of hearing person get up in the morning.  A spouse, parent, child, or roommate can carry out this task if they are reliable. They should take seriously waking up a deaf/hard of hearing friend or family member. Try flashing the bedroom lights on and off quickly to get their attention. Pull back the drapes to let sunlight hit them in the face or on their body. If all else fails, give them a light tap on the arm or gently shake their shoulder until they wake up. Remember, just because you are performing this task as a favor, don’t be rude, insulting, or impatient with your responsibility. Refrain from splashing cold water on their face, whipping off their covers, or pushing them out of the bed. It will only cause resentment. You might be busy getting ready in the morning or perhaps your schedules don’t match up and you are unavailable to help out in the morning. In this case, consider getting a trained hearing dog to perform the duty of wake-up call. Hearing dogs are trained to assist deaf or hard of hearing people by physically alerting their partner to common sounds like an alarm clock.  When the alarm sounds, the hearing dog will nudge their body until they wake up and shut off the alarm. Hearing dogs...

TL;DR in English: Use their sense of smell. Use their sense of feeling. Get a trained hearing dog.

The businesses you want to ask for donations are going to depend on the type of charity or other project you're raising money for. Focus on businesses that would benefit in some way from the donation. Giving the business a good reason to donate makes it more likely that they will do so. For example, if you're raising money for a local little league team, focus on small businesses that are owned by people who live in your community, so they can get some advertising out of the sponsorship. Before you even begin to approach a business for donations, you must learn all you can about the business and the types of organizations to which that business normally donates.  Learn more about the business itself and what it offers to the community, so you can determine what benefits the donation would offer to the business. If the business has a website, you may be able to find out more about the business and its donation strategies and policies there. For small local businesses, do a general internet search for local news websites or community interest blogs. If you send a generic solicitation for donations, it likely will get thrown in the trash and never read. To make sure the business takes your request seriously and considers it, address your request to a specific person.  If you're approaching a larger corporation, you typically can find the name of this person by visiting the corporation's website or calling a general business information number. With small, locally owned businesses, there may not be a specific person (other than the owner) who is in charge of donations. Just call or stop by the business and ask. Once you have the name of someone who is in charge of the donations for the business, do some research on them. Assume their personal opinion will hold some sway on whether the business makes a donation. For example, suppose you are raising funds to build a new no-kill animal shelter in your community. If you find out the person in charge of donations for a business adopted three dogs from a shelter, you...

TL;DR in English: Decide which businesses you want to ask. Do your research. Identify the individual in charge of business donations. Adapt your approach to the individual. Offer something in return. Practice your approach.

It can take as long as 6 months to get your passport. If you don't already have one, apply now. You can buy a passport photo at most photo stores and apply for a passport at your local post office or courthouse. For certain countries, you'll need a tourist visa, too. Do your research online about whether citizens of your country need visas to go to your destination. It depends on where you're coming from, too. Getting sick overseas can be costly and very stressful. Lower your risk of spending your time sick in bed by getting your travel vaccinations. There are essentially zero health risks to being vaccinated and it's a very cheap way to protect yourself. You should get vaccinated at least 2-3 months before you leave for your trip. Last minute vaccines will not be very effective for preparing you for your stay. If you're not sure whether you need vaccinations are not, the CDC's website has recommendations based on the type of traveler you are and where you plan to travel. If you're going somewhere chilly and your body isn't used to a colder climate, be sure to bring plenty of layers. You'll want socks, gloves, a thick coat, a sweater, the whole nine yards. You researched the weather, right? What's it like? You may want to bring a few "just in case" pieces. If there's a legitimate chance it could rain, bring an umbrella or a raincoat. A couple pairs of shoes, tennis shoes included, is good, too. You never know when you may wind up going on a spontaneous romantic hike. In general, it's good to not load up on cheap souvenirs. As cute as many of the "Just Married" trinkets can be wherever you go, keep in mind that you will put out very few or none of these things in the future. That money is better put to having a nice dinner or doing an activity you won't have the opportunity to try for some time. That being said, you'll probably want a couple of things to remember your trip by, so leave a bit of room in your pack just in case. Postcards are a good, small trinket to take back (useful, too).

Add more weight on a day that you feel good. Do a warm-up before you start lifting. Add a little weight at a time. Lift heavy weights for compound exercises. Exercise with about 10% less than the maximum you can lift. Increase your rest time between sets when you lift more weight. Make a schedule and balance your workout.

Building a positive relationship with your mother-in-law is significant to the well-being of everyone in your household. Plus, maintaining a friendly, respectful nature with her is good role-modeling for your children. One way to boost the connection between the two of you is to join in on one of her hobbies or invite her to participate in yours. Even if you find your mother-in-law particularly difficult, she is still your spouse’s mother and, therefore, deserves your consideration and respect. Instead of shutting her out of the big decisions, consult with her. Doing so may make her feel like a valued member of the family. Likely, asking her opinion may present you in a more favorable light as well.  Keep in mind, asking her opinion does not translate to taking her advice. Grandparents truly want to be helpful. So, even if you choose to go a different route, it still counts that you asked and listened to her opinion on the matter.  Here’s one way to ask her opinion: “So, we were thinking about visiting Cole in college soon. We would like all of us to go together as a surprise. Do you think it would be best to go the first or last weekend in the month?” Multi-generational families are becoming more and more common these days. Even if you are not so happy about having to live under the same roof as your mother-in-law, do your part to make her feel like a part of the larger family. This means that merely sharing meals or holding casual conversations is not enough. Include her in different outings to help her feel like a true part of things. Although you might have a tense relationship, she is still family. Plus, your children probably love to spend time with her. Invite her out for a special dinner to celebrate the kids’ good grades. Ask if she wants to join in on this year’s summer vacation. These small acts of kindness may go a long way towards improving your relationship. With aging parents, the last thing you want to do is make them feel useless or like a burden. If your MIL has moved in with you, she may...

TL;DR in English: Share a hobby. Ask for her opinion sometimes. Include her in family activities. Give her a role, if she wants it.

A new walker is still figuring out how their body works, so always keep an eye on your child as they take their first steps. Help your child learn balance by supporting them and holding their hands as they begin to walk. They will soon be able to stand and walk on their own, but by holding their hands, you will help them avoid many of the spills that come with the first walking attempts. Being  barefoot will help your child to stay upright because bare feet can help improve your child's balance and lessen the number of falls they take. When your child goes outside or to public places, put them in a pair of flexible shoes that are made for children who are starting to learn how to walk. An increase in mobility means that very little is off-limits to your child. Keep them safe by baby-proofing your house. You are probably aware of the danger areas in your home from your child's exploits in crawling and cruising. Typical danger areas include:  Stairs, where it is important to install a baby gate at the top and bottom.     Heated surfaces, such as radiators or furnaces, need to be covered with a grill or blocked by other furniture so a walking baby can't reach them.     Cover electrical outlets with simple childproof plastic covers to avoid a child putting his or her fingers in the plug. To make sure everything is covered, get on your hands and knees to see things from a toddler's point of view—this should help you to see potential hazards.

TL;DR in English: Help your child to learn how to balance. Take your baby's shoes off when they are trying to walk. Follow the baby-proofing basics.

If you’re feeling tired or sore, adding more weight could leave you especially vulnerable to injury. Instead, wait for a day when you feel strong and energetic. A proper warm-up will increase the oxygen in your bloodstream and your muscles, helping reduce the risk of injury and helping prevent or relieve muscle soreness. Before you lift, try 5-10 minutes of light cardio activity, like push-ups, sit-ups, jogging on a treadmill, or riding a stationary bike. Adding too much weight too fast can cause you to injure yourself. You should increase the weight by no more than 10 percent at a time to your routine to ensure your body stays challenged. Compound lifts, like squats, deadlifts, and lunges, are great for working multiple muscle groups at once. Use heavier weights for these exercises. Don’t strain your body by lifting the absolute most you can every time. This will increase your risk of injury and can lead your body to plateau. Dial it back to about 90% of the most you can lift, then increase a little every 2-4 weeks. Give your body time to recover between sets when you increase your weights. If you normally rest 30-45 seconds between sets, try resting for 60-90 seconds instead. You may need to rest longer if you are performing compound exercises and lifting 90 percent of your maximum weight. Make sure you are alternating your exercises to ensure you equally balance all of your muscle groups. Think about training your pushing and pulling muscles (like your hamstrings vs your quads) equally, as well as balancing your arms, legs, chest, and back. Set up a schedule so you know what muscle group you’ll focus on each day.

TL;DR in English:


Find your ride. Be cautious if you plan to drive yourself. Drive safely.

Commit it to memory so you need only glance at your notes.  Practice your mannerisms, enunciation, and the pitch and volume of your voice.   Record yourself or go through the presentation with a friend or colleague in order to identify areas that need improvement. Avoid slang and jargon and never, ever curse. Smile and shake hands when entering a room.  Make eye contact and address people by name.  Stand up straight with your shoulders back.  Wear the appropriate clothes and be sure your shoes are polished. Keep your hands out of your pockets and don't fidget during quiet moments. If you are giving a presentation to a very large audience, don't just stand on the stage as people file in. Mill about, introducing yourself and greeting people you know. Practice working with a smart board or with a laptop and projector so you can troubleshoot any problems ahead of time. If necessary, bring your own equipment with you.  If possible, set up all technology in advance on the day of the presentation. Go through your presentation and write down any potential questions or objections on a separate piece of paper.  Ask a friend or colleague to role play as the customer and ask questions or raise objections that you did not anticipate.  Draft answers to all possible objections and be prepared to deliver them. Pause for questions where appropriate.  Watch body language that indicates your audience doesn't understand something. Maintain your energy and enthusiasm throughout the presentation. Try to control the meeting by announcing when questions will be taken. This can help you to avoid interruptions at a critical time. Recognize, however, if you are speaking to a decision maker, you might not have a choice.

TL;DR in English: Practice delivering your presentation. Exude confidence and enthusiasm with your body language. Familiarize yourself thoroughly with all technology used in the presentation. Anticipate objections and rehearse answers. Practice assessing whether your audience is following along.

Parenthetical citations are citations that appear inside regular parentheses within the body of your paper. No matter which citation style you’re using, Shakespeare works are unique in how they are cited. They are always cited with parenthetical citations that appear in the text of your paper. They are not indicated by a footnote or endnote. When you quote a passage, wait until the very end of the section that you’re quoting before including your citation. Sometimes, the passage might be lengthy, such as a dialogue between two characters. The citation comes at the very end of this entire passage. If you’re not including the original passage in your paper and instead you’re paraphrasing a passage, you still need to indicate where this passage comes from. Include a citation formatted just the same as you’d use for a quotation. Don’t use quotation marks for paraphrased material. You may find a quote from a Shakespearean work in another piece of writing, such as a critique of the play you’re writing about. The quoted Shakespeare text might be exactly what you want to use. But in order to quote and cite it properly, you should go back to the original play or sonnet. This will help you read the quote in its proper context. Cite this quote as it appears in the original source, such as: Much Ado About Nothing (2.3.217–24).

TL;DR in English: Use parenthetical citations for Shakespearean works. Include the citation at the end of the passage you’re quoting. Cite paraphrased material. Go back to the original source.

After you have completed a first draft of your business case, your next step should be to carefully review your business case for any unnecessary language and grammatical errors. Make sure your business case is formatted in a manner that is easy to read and clearly displays each of the separate business case sections in underlined or bolded text. Get the agreement and feedback of those who will be responsible for implementation. Although, they are not usually the decision makers, the best way to ensure that your business case will be successful is by making sure that the personnel responsible for implementing the plan have the opportunity to review the business case and offer suggestions for changes and other feedback. For example, if your business case suggests the implementation of a new marketing strategy as a means to enter new markets, you should definitely take the time to meet with the marketing team in order to ensure that the processes contained in your business case can be feasible implemented by marketing personnel. Your business case should be presented to the management professionals who are responsible for providing approval for new business strategies or plans.

From there talk about the resolution provided by your business case, as well as the different options, and steps that must be taking to bring about resolution.  Consider using a PowerPoint presentation to add visuals to your business case presentation. Brainstorm in advance about any potential concerns that management may have about implementing the business case plan. Make sure to address these concerns during your presentation, instead of waiting for management to raise their concerns.

TL;DR in English: Edit your business case draft. Present your business case to the personnel who will be instrumental in implementing the business case plan. Present your business case to final authority.

When writing an informal letter in German, as in English, you have more freedom in terms of starting your letter. It’s not necessary to write the date or address, though you can if you want. Give your letter an informal salutation that suits who you are writing to. Pay special attention to the spelling. For example, write “Liebe” (“Dear”) if you are writing to a woman, but “Lieber” (“Dear”) if you are writing to a man. Try one of these greetings:  Guten Tag, Frau Müller (Good day, Ms. Müller) Liebe Frau Müller (Dear Ms. Müller) Lieber Heinrich (Dear Heinrich) Hallo, Andreas (Hi Andreas) Mein lieber Schatz (My dear honey) Hallo mein Liebling (Hello my darling) Hallo meine Süße (Hello sweetie - female) Hallo mein Süßer (Hello sweetie - male) Since you are writing an informal letter, you have plenty of freedom for choosing what to say and how to structure it. In general, try to keep your ideas grouped together, and separate paragraphs with line breaks to make your letter easy to read. Remember that you do not need to capitalize the first word of the body of your letter. Even for letters to friends or family, it’s courteous to include an clear closing in your letter. You can be more casual or even intimate, depending on who you are writing to. Try one of these common closings:  Herzlichst (Cordially) Viele Grüße (Lots of regards) Liebe Grüße (Lots of love) Alles Liebe (Lots of love) Dein (Yours - male) Deine (Yours - female) In Liebe (With love - for romantic relationships)

TL;DR in English: Select an informal greeting. Write the body of your letter. Close your letter informally.

Walking or catching a bus late at night, especially on your own, is dangerous. Avoid this if at all possible. Taxis and Uber’s are an acceptable choice, but those can be expensive and as a teen, you should never catch a ride late at night on your own. Always try to go there with other people if possible.  Your best choice is getting a lift from a friend who drives. Organize in advance a place for them to pick you up; usually around the corner from your house or a short distance down the street from where you live is ideal. Have them park at a nearby parking lot if you are worried that your parents will wake up easily. If someone is picking you up, tell them beforehand not to have any loud music playing in their car when they are arrive, just to be safe. Avoid turning on your headlights in your driveway because they likely will shine into your house. Switch your headlights on once you get on the street. The last thing you want is to be pulled over by a police officer for a traffic violation when you are in the middle of sneaking out! Follow all speed limits and be extremely cautious in everything you do while on the way to the party.  Avoid very loud music that might draw attention when you’re in the middle of a red light. Of course, always wear your seatbelt.

TL;DR in English:


Have a garage sale. Participate in a flea market. Rent your things. Dress designing or stitching. Paint or craft. Sell entertainment. Take your items to a pawn shop. Sell used books.

This is a common and known method to keep any foods from over-cooking or baking when making them. If you know you'll be away or get distracted, set a timer for the amount prescribed by the recipe. Make sure the timer is loud enough to hear if you're far away from the kitchen. It's possible you could accidentally set the temperature too high without meaning too. Double-check the oven temperature before placing the cake in the oven to bake to ensure it doesn't burn. When the cake starts to brown while it bakes, but the inside of the cake is still raw, cover the edges and top with foil. The aluminum foil will protect the cake from burning and blackening. If you've set the correct temperature and time for the cake to bake and it stills ends up burnt, double-check your oven to make sure there is nothing wrong and that the settings are correct. It's possible your oven's settings could have been switched which causes it to not produce the correct heat level. While the cake bakes, check it every 10-15 minutes to ensure it isn't burning and that it is baking correctly. It's best not keep opening the oven door, however, since the heat leaves every time you open it. Instead, use the oven light that's placed in your oven so you can watch the cake, but also avoid it from under-baking.

TL;DR in English: Set a timer. Check the oven temperature before baking. Use aluminum foil to avoid the cake from burning. Make sure your oven settings are working properly. Check the cake every now and then.

That is, when writing a list of items, include a comma before the “and,” like in this sentence: “I like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.” An em dash symbolizes a change of thought in a sentence or adds extra information to the sentence. When writing a Chicago style paper, do not use a space before or after you use an em dash. For example: “We enjoyed the Fourth of July celebration—all the fireworks were splendid.” The em dash is that long dash in the middle. Microsoft Word generally corrects a double hyphen (--) to an em dash. Spell out ‘United States’ unless you are using it as an adjective (for example, U.S. politics). Spell out state names when they follow a city: “We went to Okemah, Oklahoma.” If you do use an abbreviation for the state, use the standard two-letter postal code.

TL;DR in English: Use the Oxford or serial comma. Consider your use of the ‘em dash’. Remember to spell out state and country names.

A garage sale is a great way to get rid of unwanted household items and make money in the process! Staples of garage sales include old clothing, books, toys, household knickknacks, lawn and garden tools, sports equipment, and board games. Larger items like furniture and occasionally home appliances are also sold. Garage sales take time and preparation, so make sure to start planning well in advance.  Set a date. Pick a date 2-3 weeks ahead of time. This will give you time to plan and advertise your sale. When setting a date, be conscious of the time of year and be sure to take weather and temperature into account. You are less likely to have good traffic on very hot or very cold days and rain is major deterrent. Advertise your garage sale in local newspapers, on community bulletin boards and on Craigslist. The more people who are aware that your garage sale is taking place, the more people who will show up! Gather items for sale. This should be done in the weeks leading up to your garage sale. Go through old boxes in the garage, attic and under the stairs. Walk from room to room and gather any items you no longer want or need. Attach a clearly written price label to each item. This will make it easier for customers and save you time on the day. You can use small adhesive labels, bits of masking tape or a sticker gun. Enlist help from friends, family and neighbors. This will make your garage sale more manageable and less stressful. You will also have more fun this way! Have plenty of change. Go to the bank the day before your garage sale and get rolls of quarters, dimes and nickels and plenty of dollar bills. Add interest to your garage sale by selling crafts, baked goods and beverages.
