Get lost in an adventure by using a book to stir your imagination. Curl up on the sofa or in the bed and have a mini-adventure in your head. If you’re not interested in fairy tales or fiction, there’s always non-fiction. If you don’t care for reading, write in your journal to express your thoughts instead. There is so much to see and do on the internet. Read the news.  Read blogs or websites, or make a blog or a website yourself. If you want something more interactive, shop, play games or discover other things to do. There are so many ideas to learn and contemplate.  You can watch alternative news, or watch a tutorial on how to do something. Or, you could simply entertain yourself by watching a show published on the platform or one of the many YouTube content creators on virtually any subject you can imagine such as beauty, comedy, books, fashion. Ted and Tedx brings speakers together to discuss a variety of topics. Usually, the talks are about 20 minutes or less, and the topics vary from everything to linguistics to design. Watch talks and learn from authors, researchers, scientists, designers and many others.

TL;DR in English: Read a book. Surf the internet. Watch YouTube. Watch a Ted Talk.

While it is possible that fainting spells are not related to medical conditions, it is also possible that they are a sign of a medical problem. To determine this, you will need to visit your doctor. You should see your doctor immediately if you experience fainting while exercising, if fainting occurs with rapid heartbeat, or if your family has a history of fainting. If you experience repeated fainting spells, you should consult your doctor. Your doctor will ask a number of questions to determine the cause of your fainting. These may include the situation you find yourself in when you faint, how long the episodes last, how quickly it takes you to return to normal, and any other symptoms you may experience during the episodes. The doctor may also order a number of tests to determine the cause of your fainting spells.  An electrocardiogram will be ordered if the doctor suspects a heart condition is the cause. An electroencephalogram will be ordered if the doctor suspects something in the brain is the cause. There is a chance that your doctor will not recommend any medication for your fainting spells. There is no medicine that treats fainting spells themselves, so your doctor may instead prescribe a medicine to treat the cause of the fainting spells. These may include medicine for low blood sugar, seizures, anemia, or low blood pressure. If any medications are prescribed, be sure to take them exactly as your doctor advises.

TL;DR in English: Find out if you have a medical condition. Provide the doctor with your history. Follow the doctor's advice.

The less time you've got to spend around others, the more introverted your existence will become by necessity. If you think you benefit from living a more introverted lifestyle, try to pursue interests, jobs, and hobbies that will allow you to live that way and work at your most productive. The following jobs are all good for introverts:  Computer programming Writing and editing Research scientists Court reporters Archival work or library science Extroverts are multi-takers, while introverts prefer diving into one task and seeing it through to completion. try to prioritize your time to keep focused on each thing you need to do before you move on to the next. Introverts generally dislike small talk, preferring to dig deeper and have more serious, intellectual, or hard-hitting conversations. This also applies to the type of work and creative projects introverts like to take on. Next time you're working on a project for work or school, don't be satisfied with merely doing "enough," or with doing what's expected of you. Go above and beyond. Put your own creative twist on the project, putting some extra effort into it. Introverts prefer working alone instead of working with others on group projects. If you often value the help of others, try taking on a project all by yourself next time and seeing if you can't do it without extra help. This might help increase your confidence and allow you to rely on yourself more in the future, even if it's necessary to work with others in some cases.  Get what you can from collaborations. Often, you'll have to work with others, and introverts shouldn't reject the talents and abilities of others, just because they prefer working alone. Learn to negotiate group projects without controlling them, taking the help offered and delegating separate tasks, so you can also have some alone time.  Be self-sufficient. The less you need to ask for help, the less you'll have to rely on the help of others.

TL;DR in English: Pursue a career and interests that require fewer interactions. Focus on one task at a time. Dig deeper. Take on solo responsibilities and work alone.

By far the cheapest way to get to Disney World is to drive. Although  this might not be a feasible option if you live on the West Coast. if you live in the South or on the East Coast you should definitely try to make a road-trip to the theme park. Driving will save you several hundred dollars on airfare - especially if more than two people are traveling with you. Plus, once you get to the parks you’ll be able to use your own car as transportation, rather than having to hire a shuttle to drive you around everywhere. Calculate the number of hours you’ll have to drive, and split that up into the number of days it would take to get to Disney World.  Because driving can conceivably take 2-3 days, you’ll want to try to stay at budget hotels or campsites along the way. If you’re bringing a large family, prepare for the road trip by coming up with games and activities to do along the way. If you’re not able or willing to drive to Disneyland, you’ll have to fly there instead. It is unlikely you’ll be able to find a cheap Disney World package that includes hotel rooms for a decent rate, but you can get around this by booking a different hotel combined with your airfare. Many websites will significantly discount the combined cost of your flights and hotel rooms if you book them at the same time. Therefore, do a bit of research on hotels in the area, and see if you can combine them with your airfare at purchase.  Some search engines will allow you to ‘name a price’ for a hotel+flight, and present you with what’s available. Keep in mind that whenever possible, go for the cheapest hotel and airfare on the market. There are many tricks to the trade when it comes to booking flights, and among the most beneficial is simply knowing the right time to book. Flying to a destination is always the least expensive from Monday through Thursday, and especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Air carriers typically have deals on flights on Tuesday afternoons, so plan on purchasing your flight on a Tuesday after 2:00PM. Additionally, you’ll...

TL;DR in English: Drive, if you’re able. Book your airfare and hotel together. Know when you book your airfare. Travel during non-peak seasons.

The eyeshadow primer will help the eyeshadow stick on better. It will also help make the colors stand out better, a must for those who'd like a bolder look. This counteracts the effect of nearsighted glasses, especially at the corner of your eye. If you'd like a neutral look, choose a creamy color that is a few shades lighter than your skin tone. If you'd like something bolder and more colorful, choose a color that matches the lightest tone on your face. In general, people with glasses should avoid vibrant eyeshadow colors.  Most makeup artists agree that the thinner and more delicate frames you have, the softer and more natural your eyeshadow should be. Use a fluffy eyeshadow brush to apply this all over your eye, from lash line to eyebrow. Keep it to a light touch, since your glasses will already draw attention to your eyes. This is especially important if you are far-sighted, as reading glasses magnify the eyes. If you have thick, chunky frames, such as tortoise shell frames, consider going darker and bolder. One approach is to use a light color as your base over the entire lid, then a darker color just on your upper lids. If you'd like a more natural look, choose a brown that is a few shades darker than your skin tone. If you are going bold and colorful, choose a color that is a few shades darker than the base color. Apply the darker color from the lash line to the crease using an angled brush. Blend it in upwards, just past the crease, towards your brow bone.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that all pregnant women get certain tests on their first prenatal visit to make sure that you and your baby are doing well. These tests are minimally invasive and will help you get a healthy start to your pregnancy. Ask your doctor if you have any questions or concerns about these tests:  Blood type and Rh type and antibody test Complete blood count Urinalysis and urine culture Rubella immunity test Varicella immunity test Pap smear (if due) HIV antibody screening Syphilis screening Hepatitis B test Gonorrhea and chlamydia test In general, there are two different types of prenatal tests: screening tests and diagnostic tests. Screenings tests can help you identify whether your baby is more or less likely to have certain birth defects and genetic disorders. If a screening test indicates a possible problem or your age, background or medical history puts you at an increased risk, your doctor may recommend a diagnostic test to make a more definitive diagnosis.  Typically, screening tests are less invasive than diagnostic tests. Examples of screenings tests include blood tests, most ultrasounds, and prenatal cell-free DNA screening. Most screening tests are offered during the first or second trimester.   Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) and amniocentesis are examples of diagnostic tests. Both will help you be sure of a diagnosis, but also carry a slight risk of miscarriage. Some prenatal tests are routine and are offered to nearly all pregnant people. These include blood pressure checks, urine tests, and blood tests. All are generally considered to be quite safe and can help monitor your own health, as well as the health of your baby.   During a blood pressure check, your provider will measure your blood pressure levels to make sure you don’t have preeclampsia. Your doctor will be able to diagnose preeclampsia if you have high blood pressure and signs of damage in other organs after your 20th week of pregnancy. Although preeclampsia is a serious...

TL;DR in English: Learn the tests recommended for your first prenatal visit. Determine whether the test is for screening or diagnostic purposes. Familiarize yourself with regular blood pressure, urine, and blood tests. Get an ultrasound to monitor fetal growth with little to no risk. Ask for a first trimester screening to test for birth defects. Undergo a quad screen blood test to detect certain conditions. Opt for prenatal cell-free DNA screening to identify genetic abnormalities. Consider amniocentesis for a more definitive diagnosis. Discuss chorionic villus sampling (CVS) after an abnormal screening. Test for gestational diabetes at week 26 or when recommended. Check for Group B streptococcus to avoid infecting your newborn.

Choose a large, scalloped shell, starfish, or sand dollar as your focal point. Glue it down in the center of the crown with hot glue or industrial strength glue. Pick out your pointy shells, and glue then along the edges of your crown. Make sure that the opening of the shell is facing the tiara's band; this way, the hole won't be visible in the end. For a more interesting effect, glue the taller shells towards the center of the tiara, and the shorter ones towards the ends.  You can add as many spikes as you want. You can have them go from the focal point all the way to the combs, or you can have just a few on each side. For a more interesting look, alternate between turret and conch shells. At this point, the base of your crown is done. You can make it look more interesting by adding more layers. For example, you could glue some clam or snail shells along the base of your crown. A smaller clam shell to either side of your focal point would also look pretty. If you used a sand dollar as your focal point, consider gluing down a tiny starfish in the middle. You may have some gaps between your shells, especially along the bottom. You can fill these in with small items, such as glass beads, pearl beads, or tiny rhinestones. Bits of sea glass would also look pretty. Your crown is essentially done at this point, but if it feels like it's missing something, consider adding some rhinestones. Use super glue to attach tiny rhinestones to the shells. You can put the rhinestones around the edges of the shells or down the ridges. If you used a starfish, you could add rhinestones down the middle of each arm.

TL;DR in English: Glue down the focal shell. Add some spikes along the sides. Create more layers. Fill in the gaps with fillers, if desired. Finish off with the details.

Place your mat on a flat, smooth surface. Make sure that you set up in a quiet place, and in an area with enough space for movement. If you do not have a Pilates mat, try doing the exercise on a carpeted area or use a towel.  Use a thicker mat if you have a sensitive back. Try to find a well lit space with natural light.  Wear comfortable clothing that allows movement. Shoes and socks are not needed. Push your chin into your chest, ensuring your neck remains long. Press your back flat against the floor. Make sure it is not in a neutral position. A neutral back position allows you to maintain the natural curve of your spine while lying down. The flat position you want to achieve with your back is called an imprinted spinal position. Do not use too much force while keeping your shoulders pressed down. Pull them away from your ears, and allow your arms to rest next to your body. Place your hands palm-down on the mat, fingertips stretched towards the bottom of the mat. Raise your legs upwards until they are vertically above your hips, forming a 90 degree angle with your body. Keep your upper thighs and knees together. Point your toes towards the ceiling.

TL;DR in English: Set up your mat. Lie down on your back on your Pilates mat. Relax your shoulders. Extend your legs straight in front of you.

On December 28th, also known as Holy Innocents’ Day, many people play jokes on others. It’s equivalent to April Fools Day in the United States. On top of playing pranks on one another, many cities have their own special festivals.  Visit Jalance for the Fiesta de los Locos, or Crazy People’s Dance. Ibi holds a Flour Battle, or Els Enfarinats Festival throughout the day. Celebrated on January 5th, towns across the country hold parties and parades to commemorate the arrival of the Three Kings the following day. Spend the night in Madrid or Barcelona to see parades with massive floats. Children expect larger gifts from the Three Kings overnight, so they often leave their shoes on windowsills or balconies to be filled with presents. Children wake up on January 6th and open the presents that the Three Kings brought them. Exchange gifts throughout the day. Afterward, have a large feast to celebrate. Enjoy a Roscón de Reyes, a ring-shaped fruit cake with a figurine baked inside. Whoever finds the figurine becomes the king of the day!

TL;DR in English: Play pranks on one another on Dia de Los Santos Inocentes. Go to a parade on the eve of Epiphany. Give large gifts to one another on Three Kings’ Day.

You can add solid objects to the soaps if you want to give them extra flair. This is a great way to personalize soaps to make favors for baby showers or kids' birthday parties, or to match your bathroom décor. Consider the following options:  Make floral soaps by suspending dried flower petals in the liquid glycerin before you pour it into the molds. Make birthday party soaps by filling the molds halfway and then inserting a small toy, like a tiny plastic animal or other gadget, in the center of the soap. Pour more liquid soap over the toy to cover it completely. Make baby shower soaps by pouring soap into the molds and then inserting small plastic rattles or other baby items into the soap. If you can't find a mold you like at the craft store, try making your own. Any hard plastic item can serve as a mold. If you use an item that's usually used to make food, be sure to wash it carefully before you use it again.  Ice cube trays make excellent soap molds. Use simple square trays or buy trays with interesting shapes, like fish, shells or skulls. To make larger soaps, use small plastic bowls or cups. You could also use a recycled plastic container, like a yogurt cup.

Bring a stick and ashtray along with you while you take a long, relaxing soak in the tub. Palo santo is an exceptional natural insect repellent—in fact, that was one of its original uses. The next time you’re having a backyard barbecue or entertaining guests on the patio, leave a stick or two of the wood smoldering nearby. You’ll be able to enjoy your engagement without the constant buzzing and biting.  The sharp fragrance of palo santo is very effective for keeping persistent pests like flies, gnats, and mosquitoes at bay.

To restore balance in your home, carry a burning stick from room to room, letting the smoke spread to the ceiling. Focus on sending peaceful, loving vibrations radiating outward with the smoke. To dispel stubborn lingering energies, combine a stick of palo santo with a bundle of dried sage—another potent item that’s commonly employed in cleansing rituals. Just as palo santo can be used to banish negative influences from your personal space, it can also work wonders on your mood. Guide the stick slowly up and down the length of your body several times, letting the smoke hover a few inches away from you. Imagine your anxiety, fear, and anger dissipating with each pass. When you’re done, allow the wood to burn out on its own.  If you wish, you can recite a prayer of healing or wisdom while smudging. Remember to keep the palo santo a safe distance from you at all times. Another possible...

TL;DR in English: Use palo santo to destress and recenter. Ward off bugs. Cleanse the atmosphere in your home. Purify your aura. Treat the symptoms of a minor illness.

It’s important to have a goal in mind when you start any business venture. Do you want to sell local concert tickets? Or tickets to major league sporting events? Where do you want to base your operations? These decisions will impact everything from which licenses you apply for to how much startup money you will need. Think about why you will succeed. Is your local music venue not successful at advertising? Do you notice that a sports team regularly sells out their games? You should find a market you can compete in that is also profitable. Once you have decided which tickets you would like to sell, you need to check into which licenses you will need. States have different laws concerning the regulation of ticket brokering. Planning out this phase will make it easy for you to begin buying and selling tickets later. Some states require you to have a ticket reseller’s license if the concert venue is in their state. Unless you have a lot of money tucked away, you will need money to start a ticket reselling business. First, it costs several thousand dollars just to apply for license. Second, you will need to have the capital to buy tickets, even though the return is relatively fast.  Banks and credit unions are a good place to check into loans for starting businesses. See this guide for ways to find out your credit score and optimize it. You can also try to find investors in your area. Local businesses may be interested in low-cost investments or the perks that come with having ties to a ticket broker. If you keep it small and personal, you may be able to keep lawyers and accountants out of it. See this for more tips on starting a small business. You should know by now where you want to list your business address, and which venues you want to sell tickets to. This varies state by state, so a simple web search will tell you where to fill out and submit the application. You will need to have a good amount of cash for any fees and bonds.  To give you an idea, the application fee for New York is $5,000. It will vary by...

TL;DR in English: Envision your future business. Check with local laws. Raise capital if necessary. Apply for a ticket reseller's license. Look into joining the National Association of Ticket Brokers.

Meditating can reduce stress and anxiety. You typically have up to 80,000 thoughts flow through your mind daily. Depending on your stress level, or your personal behavioral and characteristic make-up, you could have much more than that. When you meditate, you can learn how to master your own internal dialogue by eliminating what is not important, and putting more energy and focus into organizing what is needed and important. That frees your mind up to focus on the thoughts that are really important. Meditation also gives your mind a break from the constant stimuli that fills our society. You only need to meditate for 15-20 minutes per day to see benefits. You can choose to meditate at any time of day, but most people tend to do a meditation first thing in the morning or right before bed. Try different times and see what works for you. . Develop a habit of incorporating positive affirmations into your daily life. Affirmations are positive words or statements that when incorporated into a daily meditative practice can help you to reprogram your internal dialogue. When you reframe your thoughts in this way, your mind becomes a more constructive mental environment and this allows you to focus on what is important to you rather than what is not important. Exercising releases endorphins, which elevate your mood. It also reduces the levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This dual effect means that exercise primes your brain for positivity and focus. These are the prerequisites to having logically organized thoughts. Even if you don’t enjoy the gym, you could still benefit greatly from a regular walk or run. As long as you get out and exercise, you’ll start to feel your mind handling things more effectively. Having someone to bounce your ideas off of is crucial. Even just speaking to another person can help you to see any fallacies in your logic and improve your thought process. The other person can also offer you feedback and help you to see any unorganized or unclear thought patterns. For example, say you have a...

TL;DR in English: Meditate. Release negativity Go exercise. Talk to someone. Break information into chunks. Declutter your home and/or office.

Each airline has different physical requirements tailored to the dimensions of their planes. Airlines want to make sure that flight attendants are tall enough to reach the overhead bins, but not so tall that their head hits the ceiling of the plane. Airlines also require that flight attendants be able to sit in a seat and buckle the seat belt comfortably.  The height range for most airlines is between 5’0” - 5’ 1” and 5’8” - 6’3”. Some airlines do not have height requirements, but instead require that you be able to reach a certain height. The minimum age requirement ranges between 18-21 years old depending on the airline. There is no maximum age as long as you pass all medical requirements There is no numerical weight requirement, but many airlines do a visual assessment, looking at weight in proportion to height. In the 1960s, flight attendants were required to be females of a certain weight, and to retire before they reached a certain age. Some airlines continued these discriminatory practices through the 1980s and 1990s. Now men can be flight attendants, there is no numerical weight requirement, and people may continue working as flight attendants until they’re ready to retire. Airlines won’t hire people who don’t have their GED, but no higher education is required. That said, airlines do look favorably upon people who have a college degree or even a few years of college under their belt. It shows that you’re ambitious and able to handle a challenge. Some companies offer “flight training programs,” but this is not a requirement before applying to airlines. You’ll receive training if you’re hired as a flight attendant. The primary role of a flight attendant is to provide excellent customer service, so it really helps if you’ve worked in a similar role before. There are many types of jobs that count as customer service experience: answering phones for a company, working in retail, or working at the front desk of a small business all require interacting with and helping the public. This isn’t a mandatory...

TL;DR in English: Meet the physical requirements. Have your GED. Have some customer service experience.

Lacquer is a very durable finish that is applied with a spray gun. It is a very high performance finish, drying quickly to a hard, with a durable finish. It is not easy to apply as an amateur, and is not forgiving of mistakes made during application. A spray gun can be purchased for $50-$100, and is necessary if you plan to use lacquer. Maintain a ventilated area and don't spray lacquer near any sparks. Make sure to take the proper safety precautions when spraying lacquer. Lacquer is highly toxic when inhaled, so make sure to maintain a well-ventilated area and wear a respirator. Lacquer should only be applied in very thin coats with your spray gun. Pull the trigger as you get close to the piece, move the gun over the surface, overlapping the previous spray path by about 50%, and release the trigger just after moving beyond the edge. Move the spray gun back and forth over the surface quickly until the entire surface is coated. Keep the gun moving so that you never allow a buildup of lacquer in one specific spot on the wood. This will help you avoid drips and the "orange peel" effect. Wait for the lacquer to dry completely before applying additional coats. Once the surface is dry, which can take around 30 minutes, apply the next coat in the same fashion, making sure that the gun keeps moving and coats the surface evenly. Once you have several coats applied, the surface will be sealed and smooth to the touch.

Many people suffer from dehydration and don’t even know it. Foot cramps are one common symptom, but there are others. Learn to recognize the symptoms so that you can nip dehydration in the bud. Some common symptoms include:  Little or no urine, urine that is dark in color Fatigue Severe thirst Dry mouth Headache Dizziness There’s no universal answer for how much water a person should drink each day. The amount you need depends on your weight, age, diet, and activity level. Though it’s possible to drink too much water, it’s fairly difficult. Err on the side of drinking a little too much, rather than not enough.  A good rule of thumb is to drink six to eight 8oz glasses of water per day. Drink more than that if you are physically active, live in a hot climate, consume excess sodium, or are pregnant or nursing. When tracking your water intake, beverages such as soda, juice, coffee or tea can be counted. However, these drinks may contain sugar or caffeine, and so plain water is a better source for pure hydration. Don’t try to drink all of your recommended water right at breakfast. Instead, sip it throughout the day. Carry a refillable water bottle so that you always have water when you need it.  Know how much water your bottle holds. That will help you keep track of how much water you drink during the day. If you don’t like the taste of water, you can add sprigs of fresh mint, or cut up fresh ginger, citrus fruit, or mint and let them infuse your water with a subtle flavor. Some foods can dehydrate you, but some can actually help you stay hydrated. Fresh fruits and vegetables can be excellent sources of water.  Processed foods often contain excess sodium, which can dehydrate you. If you’re trying to stay hydrated, avoid these. Leafy greens, melons, cucumbers, and apples are great hydrating foods. If you’ve already become dehydrated it may take a little while for your body to return to a state of hydration. Track any symptoms you might have had and see if they improve. If they do, keep doing what you’re doing....

TL;DR in English: Check for symptoms of dehydration. Determine how much water you need. Drink water throughout the day. Eat appropriately to stay hydrated. Continue to look for dehydration symptoms.

If your rates for international calls are sky high, consider alternatives to phone calls. If you have a computer and access to wi-fi, you can use websites like Skype and Google Hangouts to contact others through video chatting. This is a free alternative to making a potentially pricey phone call. If you dislike video chatting, Skype can also be used for phone calls. You can sign up for Skype's international calling service to make phone calls using the application. While it does cost money to make international calls using Skype, it's generally only a few cents a minute and, depending on your cell phone provider, may be much cheaper than calling with your phone. Many social media websites have instant messaging options. For example, you can talk to someone abroad via Facebook to save money on phone calls. Many e-mail providers, such as Gmail, have instant messaging options as well. Apps like WhatsApp allow you to send international text messages for free.

TL;DR in English: Try video call options. Make cheap phone calls using Skype. Make use of instant messaging.

Exercising may increase a hormone in your blood, irisin, that gets white fat in your body to act more like brown fat. This “beige” or “brite” fat – white fat acting like brown fat – may not be as beneficial as actual brown fat, but may help with weight loss. Get your heart beating fast by jogging, swimming, walking briskly, dancing, or playing a sport. Try to get 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every day, or at least 5 days per week. Exercise in light clothing in a cool environment to boost your brown fat activity. This gives you the benefits of exercise and of keeping your body cool. Don’t turn the heat up to increase how much you sweat. Being warmer will inhibit your brown fat. Melatonin is a chemical released in your brain more when you’re in darkness, which is why it’s related to sleep. Set a regular sleep schedule for yourself so that you get 7-9 hours of sleep every night. Poor sleep is linked to weight gain, and getting adequate sleep may stimulate brown fat activity.  Melatonin supplements are sold in pharmacies and drug stores. Discuss the use of melatonin supplements with your doctor prior to using them. Create healthy sleep habits such as sleeping in a cool, dark room and going to bed at the same time each night.

TL;DR in English: Exercise regularly. Work out in a cool environment. Sleep at least 8 hours nightly.

Put your shoes in the microwave on high for no longer than 30 seconds. The heat from the microwave will make the fabric more malleable to your feet.  Make sure there are no metal pieces in the shoes before putting them in the microwave. Make sure the eyelets in your shoes aren’t metal, too.  Take the shoes out of the microwave and put them on right away while the material is still warm. Walk around with them on for a minute.  After a minute, they’ll start to cool down, so take them off and put them in the microwave again for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, wear your shoes again, and they should be widened enough. The heat from the hair dryer will soften the fabric for stretching. While wearing thick socks, put your shoes on and aim a hair dryer at them for 20-30 seconds.  Keep the hair dryer a few inches from your feet so as not to burn yourself.  Try the shoes on without the thick socks to test their fit. They should be looser. Steam will relax the shoe fibers and make them more malleable to the shape of your feet. Boil a kettle of water and hold your shoes over the steam for 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn yourself. Try the shoes on and flex your feet around in them until the fabric has been stretched wide enough to accommodate your foot.

TL;DR in English: Microwave canvas shoes for a quick way to stretch them. Use a hair dryer on the shoes while wearing socks. Use steam to soften canvas shoes for stretching.

We all use words to express ourselves and meet our needs, speaking about 15,000 words out loud a day. A mantra is a sound, syllable, word or phrase that you may use for multiples reasons. Some use mantras to maintain focus during mediation, allow meanings to reach their subconscious, have a spiritual experience, achieve a goal or help change themselves for the better. You will want to start out in a place with few distractions. A bedroom where you can shut the door and windows works fine. Minimize distractions, such as phone calls, notifications and television by shutting electronic devices off so you can focus on your mantra.  You can add incense or candles to your meditation spot to help you get into the mood and focus. Set aside time every day to practice your mantra. You will want at least 30 minutes of uninterrupted time for this. Intentions are the thoughts and emotional drives that initiate every action we take. Whether we decide to go to the store, wave to a friend, say a word or go to work, it all starts with an intention. Think about the reason you want to perform a mantra—for peace, health, success or a spiritual connection? Determine the purpose for your mantra session and focus on that. Most people choose a sitting position but you can adopt whatever position you find comfortable. If you are flexible and used to the position, you may want to use the lotus position. Since your comfort level will determine your ability to relax and focus on your mantra, don’t force yourself to take on a pose that will be distracting or uncomfortable.  It is important to keep your back naturally straight but not rigid. Do not slouch. Many people choose a cross-legged meditation position. If this is a difficult position to maintain, you can make it easier with your back against a wall or use a rolled blanket or towel  under your ankles. Sitting upright in a chair is another option. To do this, keep your feet directly under your knees, press your thighs against the chair and make sure your feet have good contact with...

Nearly all of the larger car dealerships are franchises. In this arrangement, you are the franchisee who pays a fee to the franchisor. You also sign a franchise agreement to operate your business.   To open your Honda dealership, you would need to complete a long process to become a franchisee. Honda would require you to provide extensive financial disclosures to determine if you have the financial means to open and operate a Honda dealership. The franchisor (Honda) grants you the right to use the Honda logo and other marketing tools to operate a franchise. You will participate in local advertising and promotion of Honda cars. The franchisor will also agree on a process to supply your dealership with Honda cars. If you enter into an agreement with a popular car brand, it gives your car dealership credibility in the marketplace. That credibility can help you generate sales. However, the franchise agreement includes many restrictions on how you can advertise and sell their cars. To comply with the franchise agreement, you need to follow the requirements. If you sell both new and used cars, you have the opportunity to serve two type of consumers. Selling to both markets, however, will require a larger investment of time and money.  If you sell used cars, you will attract customers who want to spend less money on a vehicle. Instead of buying the $25,000 new car, for example, they may buy a $15,000 used car. Used cars typically require more service and maintenance. As you sell more used cars, you may be able grow your service business. A growing number of customers shop for cars online. When a customer enters your dealership, they may have checked 4 or 5 dealerships to price a particular car. You may find heavy competition for new car sales, in particular. In order to drive total car sales, you may need a used car sales department. Everyone needs to get his or her car serviced eventually. Operating a service department is a great way to build a relationship with a car owner.   You can develop relationships with...

TL;DR in English: Consider opening a franchise for your business. Decide on selling new cars, used cars or both. Assess the need for a service department.

When your partner talks to you, make sure you are engaged and focused on them, and that they know you are focused on them. Some ways of doing this are:  Put down and close anything you are reading or looking at, and turn off the TV. Don't doodle, look at your watch or pick your nails. Watch your partner when they talk.  Repeat what they said. When they are done talking, start a sentence with something like "What I hear you saying is that ___________" and fill in a summary of what they've told you. If they agree that your summary is accurate, move on, if not ask them to clarify until you are sure you understand what they have said. Some signs that there might be more to what they're saying than the words are:  Tension in how they are standing or sitting (arms crossed is a good sign of anger and impatience) Any expression other than a neutral one on their face (if they are very excited, this is a request that you participate in their excitement and are excited for them, if they are sad, they will probably want sympathy) Touching their neck, ears and face is a sign of insecurity, probably means that they feel uncomfortable about what they are trying to tell you. People tend to jump to conclusions when they are angry and this can often mean that you hear something (often a criticism of you) that your partner isn't trying to say. If they are trying to explain something that you do that they don't like, remember that its in both of your best interests to understand what you are being told and respond. When something is bothering you, bring it up. If you feel like your partner is hiding something from you, ask about it. Keep the channels of communication wide open. It's important to be honest but kind. Some tips for making communication easier are:  Avoid saying things like "you always_____" or "You never_____" These are unlikely to be true, and will probably make your partner get defensive. Start sentences with "I feel like______." You're always right about your feelings, and this is a great way to make the other...

TL;DR in English: Listen. Pay attention to body language, watching for concealed emotions. Don't be defensive and don't jump to conclusions. Communicate. Schedule time to talk.

Tasks requiring reading or writing can take a little longer for people with dyslexia. Making sure you give yourself adequate time to complete your work is important. Think about how much time each assignment will take and plan accordingly.  For example, if you know it takes you roughly five minutes to read one full page of text, and you have 10 pages to read, you need to set aside at least an hour to complete this assignment. If needed, ask your teacher how much time she expects other students to spend on the assignment. Consider doubling, or at least increasing that time for yourself. Don’t wait to start on your assignments. The sooner you start, the more time you will have to work on them. If you wait, you may find that you don’t have enough time to complete them. Or you could end up doing a poor job because you were rushing. Anyone, not just people with dyslexia, can easily become distracted when there is something going on that is more interesting than what you are currently doing. Removing things that distract you allows you to give your full attention to tasks that require a lot of mental energy.  Put electronic devices on silent and turn off the music or TV. Try to make sure your friends, coworkers, and family know that this is “study time” so that they can avoid interrupting you. Keep only the things that you need to complete the task around you. Put away anything you don’t need. Instead of tackling something all at once, work on it in smaller chunks. Breaking it down allows you to focus more closely on the specific task and makes the assignment less overwhelming.  For example, if you have a 20 page reading assignment, plan to read five pages at a time with short breaks to digest what you have read. If you have to write a report, break it down so that one day you write the outline, the next day you complete the introduction, one section of the body the next day, and so forth. In between each chunk of work, take a short break. This helps you to absorb the information you just acquired. It also lets you...

TL;DR in English: Give yourself enough time. Remove distractions. Break assignments and tasks down. Take frequent breaks. Study at night. Don’t do more than necessary. Explore options to use your other strengths.

Suggest that you do a fun activity together, like play pool or throw darts. If the bar has arcade games, challenge her to a game. Doing a fun activity together can help to break the ice and allow you both to relax and enjoy each other’s company. She may prefer to sit and talk with you over a few more drinks, rather than play a game or do an activity. You may suggest a fun drinking game you can play, your friends, and her friends together. This can be a fun way to get to know each other and have fun in a comfortable, casual way. As the night goes on, you should focus on talking to the girl you are interested in. This may mean staying close to her and making jokes to keep the mood light or maintaining fun, light banter while you both play a game or have more drinks. In the opening conversation, follow up on her statements with open ended questions, such as "Oh, you're a football fan. What's your favorite team?" or "What are you studying at college?" If she stick around and continues to pay attention to you, keep the banter light and quick instead. "Enjoying your night?" leads to more flirtation than an interview about her travel history. By this point you probably already know whether she's interested, but asking whether she's single is an obvious signal that you want to take things further. If she says no or seems uncomfortable, the two of you aren't on the same page. You can also try to read her body language throughout the night to get a sense of her intentions. Notice if she maintains eye contact with you, laughs at your jokes, and displays open body language, with her body relaxed and turned towards you. Once you feel confident that she is single and possibly interested, you may make a move. The type of move you make will depend on your intentions. If you are looking for a casual hook up, you may mention that your place is close by or that you both could have a drink at your place to cap off the night. This is a clear hint that you are making a move. If you're looking for a date — or you suspect she won't...

TL;DR in English:


See your doctor while you're pregnant. Get the first trimester combined test. Ask about the integrated screening test. Consider the cell-free fetal DNA analysis.

You will need at least a ten to twenty gallon glass terrarium for your tree frog. This size can accommodate up to four frogs comfortably. Make sure that you have a properly fitting screen-top. This will ensure proper ventilation while keeping everything secure in your frog’s habitat. Pet stores will often sell these terrariums. You will also be able to find them online. Remember the more frogs the larger the terrarium will have to be. The material lining the bottom of the cage is called a substrate. For your red-eyed tree frog, you should put down about two or three inches of non-fertilized potting soil. You can mix this soil with bed-a-beast bedding, orchid bark, coco coir, paper towels, or peat moss to give it more texture. The substrate should be scooped out and replaced every two to three months. Your frog will appreciate some items around the cage to climb and hide under. Find some natural, leafy looking furnishings to place in the cage. Make sure that these are non-toxic to prevent damage to your frog's sensitive skin.  Coconut halves make great dens for the frogs.  Leaves, driftwood, rocks, cork, and branches can give your frog something to climb and explore.  You can put in both fake and living plants, but fake plants are easier to keep alive. During the day, the cage will need to be between 78 and 84 degrees F (25 and 28C). At night, the temperature can drop no more than ten degrees. If your room temperature is cooler than this, you may have to invest in heaters for your terrarium. There are several options for heating the terrarium:  Low wattage heat bulbs can attach to the screen top. They provide enough heat without burning your frogs. Heat pads can rest beneath the cage. Look for ones specially designed for reptiles at your pet store. Be warned that if water touches the hot glass, it can crack the glass.  Red or nocturnal bulbs can be left on all night to ensure around the clock warmth.  Red-eyed tree frogs are nocturnal so extra lighting isn’t necessarily. Bulbs would simply provide warmth.

TL;DR in English: Invest in a glass terrarium. Lay down a proper substrate. Furnish with leaves and natural décor. Keep the habitat warm.

This is a common myth held by students. Particularly if you’re a slow reader, you may find it more effective to read the beginning and end of the chapter, along with pull-outs (information placed in a box, graph, or other attention-grabbing area on the page) and anything bolded or italicized in the text. Another common mistake students make is to read their textbook once and then never look at it again. A better strategy is to practice layered reading.  On your first read-through, skim the material. Determine what the main idea or goal of the text is (often signaled by the chapter title and subheadings), and mark any places that you didn’t feel as though you understood well. Read headings, subheadings, and other organizational elements. Textbook authors often construct their chapters so that it is very clear what the goal of each section is. Use this to your advantage. Read for more detail in later readings. Sometimes, students will just move their eyes along the page again and again and feel like they’re not getting anything from their “reading.” Reading is an active process: you need to be engaged, paying attention, and thinking about what you read. While it’s tempting to break out the rainbow of highlighters when you read through a chapter, avoid this temptation. Research has shown that highlighting actually can hamper your reading because you may feel tempted to highlight every single thing you feel is important without thinking critically about the ideas presented. If you must highlight, wait until you’ve completed your first read-through, and use the highlighter sparingly to point out only the most important ideas. It can be tempting to just read past words or elements you don’t understand in an effort to “just get it done.” This actually damages comprehension. If a dense textbook on Marxist economics has terms that you don’t initially understand, don’t just read on: stop what you’re doing, look up the word, and understand it before continuing.

TL;DR in English: Understand that you do not have to read every single word. Plan to read more than once. Understand that reading is not the same as studying. Know that highlighting is not ideal for first-time reading. Understand that you may need to look things up while reading.

Wherever you're camping, in the backyard or the backcountry, you need to look for an appropriate space that will provide you the most comfortable camping experience possible. There are several factors to consider, but the first is to make sure that the area you've selected to camp upon is legal and available for camping.  If you're in a state or national park, make sure that you've set up in a designated campsite. Often, these will be marked with numbered metal posts and will feature picnic tables, fire pits, and sometimes water spigots for using. If you're backcountry camping, make sure that you follow the regulations for the park or nature reserve in which you're camping. Different parks will have regulations about how close you're allowed to camp to water, for example, or how close you can camp next to the trail. Wherever you're camping, it's always critical to avoid private property to avoid a rude awakening in the middle of your camping trip from an angry landowner. Never camp anywhere camping is not permitted. When you've selected a suitable campsite, it's time to pick where you want to place your tent. There are several factors to consider, and the first should be your comfort. It's hard to sleep on an angle, so it's recommended the thou find a very flat and preferably brushy site to set your tent up on. Find higher ground on the site, if possible. If it rains, you don't want to be at a lower point, to which water will run. For this reason, it's a good idea to avoid dry creek beds, little divots, and hollows in the ground. You don't want to wake up in a puddle. Ideally, a tent should be placed so that it will remain in shade throughout the following morning, especially if it’s hot out. And even though a dome tent is wind resistant, it’s also a good idea to find as much of a wind break as possible, in case the weather should pick up while you're out hiking or away from the tent. The last thing you'd want is to come back to an empty camp site! Placing a tent to the west of a hillside or a treeline would...

TL;DR in English: Find an appropriate campsite. Find a flat spot at your campsite. Find a break from sun and shade. Situate your tent away from the fire. Clear loose debris from the tent site.

Your parents will always be protective so show them that you are old enough to handle the responsibilities of a relationship. Firstly, show your parents that you are responsible and can follow all the rules. If your parents think you are too young for a relationship, be on time, do your chores, and study. If you can gain your parents' trust, then your parents will soon realize that you are mature enough to handle a relationship. Parents often forbid relationships for fear of unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infection. Ensure that you and your partner truly understand these risks. There is a real possibility that if you are not prepared, and you do have an unwanted pregnancy or contract an STD, your parents may not be there to support you or just can't help you (e.g., they can help you with bringing up a child to some extent, if they wish to do so; they can't cure HIV).You may not agree with your parents rules, but communicate with your partner and respect each other's boundaries to ensure you are both prepared and safe. Know that you should be respected by your significant other and that they should listen to your choices. Compromise is vital in a relationship, but this is one area where neither party should have to compromise their beliefs. Know that if you are eager to take the relationship to another level but your partner isn't ready, you must respect their choice. Never pressure your partner. Be discreet about your affection. You never know who is watching. A trusted friend may accidentally tell your parents in passing, not knowing that your relationship is a secret. Stealing kisses in public and other forms of PDA may seem harmless but remember that if your parents find out, they may think that your relationship has already crossed further into the intimacy threshold. If it is possible to do so, owning a separate cell phone can help you in concealing information, but please remember that you must hide your new phone properly or you will be in trouble. If you are not able to buy one new...

TL;DR in English: Be mature. Understand the risks of premarital sex. Avoid PDA moments. Buy one new cell phone secretly. Tell your partner not to post anything on social media sites or send instant messages. Have a cover. Hide gifts.

Your doctor or pediatrician can tell you if your child has Down syndrome once they are born, but if you want to know beforehand, ask about the various types of screening tests. Prenatal screening tests can show if there is an increased likelihood your unborn baby has Down syndrome, but they are not a perfect estimate.  If a prenatal screening test shows an increased likelihood your baby has Down syndrome, then your doctor will recommend a diagnostic test to be more certain. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that all women (regardless of age) get screening tests for Down syndrome. There are different screening tests related to how far along you are in your pregnancy and include: the first trimester combined test, the integrated screening test and the cell-free fetal DNA analysis. The first trimester combined test is done within the first 3 months of pregnancy and involves two steps: a blood test and an ultrasound exam. The blood test measures levels of PAPP-A (pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A) and HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) hormone being produced in your body. (HCG). In addition, a painless ultrasound exam is used on your abdomen to measure an area on the back of the fetus's neck called the nuchal translucency.  Abnormal levels of PAPP-A and HCG typically indicate something unusual with your baby, but not necessarily Down syndrome. The nuchal translucency screening test measures the amount of fluid that's collected there. Abnormally high amounts of fluid usually indicates a genetic disability, but not just Down syndrome. Your doctor will consider your age (older equals higher risk), the results of the blood test, and the ultrasound images to decide if it's likely your fetus has Down syndrome. Just keep in mind that these types of tests are not done in every instance of pregnancy. However, if you are over 35, then you are at higher risk of having a baby with Down syndrome and your doctor may recommend testing. The integrated screening test is done during the first...

TL;DR in English:


Wash your face twice a day. Exfoliate your face at least once a week. Avoid touching your face. Use sunscreen daily. Use oil-free or mineral make-up. Drinks lots of water.

Chlorine is measured in parts per million, or ppm. If the levels are lower than 1 ppm, there may be harmful bacteria lurking in the water. Conversely, if the chlorine levels are too high, you might experience skin and eye irritation. It's much less work to use chlorine tablets or sticks rather than granular chlorine, which has to be pre-dissolved in water and added on a daily basis. The most common and least expensive form of chlorine is 3 in (7.6 cm) tablets, which are slow-dissolving and require less maintenance. If you have an above-ground pool, a small in-ground swimming pool, a hot tub, or a spa, 1 in (2.5 cm) chlorine tablets are ideal.  The active ingredient in chlorine tablets and sticks is called “Trichlor” (or Trichloro-S-Triazinetrione), and the active ingredient in granular chlorine is called “Dichlor” (or Sodium Dichloro-S-Triazinetrione).  Look for a concentration of 90% Trichloro-S-Triazinetrione in chlorine tablets or sticks.  If you choose to use granular chlorine, look for a concentration of 56% to 62% Sodium Dichloro-S-Triazinetrione in granular chlorine. Read the packaging on the tablets to find out how many to use based on the existing chlorine levels in the water and the size of your pool. Put the tablets in a floating chlorine feeder and put the feeder in the pool. As the feeder floats around, the chlorine will gradually dissolve and be distributed throughout the pool water.  Instead of a floating feeder, some pools have a skimmer basket that hooks on the side of the pool. If your pool has this, drop the chlorine tablet right into the basket. Skimmer baskets are commonly used with above-ground pools. Other pools come equipped with chemical feeders. Chemical feeders slowly meter out precise amounts of chlorine into your pool water automatically and offer very precise control over the amount of chlorine being added to the swimming pool. If a feeder is adjusted properly, you may not have to worry about your chlorine level for a week or more. If you add too much chlorine or shock to your...

TL;DR in English: Adjust the chlorine levels if they are above or below 1-3 ppm. Use chlorine tablets to easily increase the amount of chlorine in the pool. Put the chlorine tablets in a floating chlorine feeder. Lower the chlorine levels with a chlorine neutralizer. Maintain cyanuric acid levels at no higher than 40 ppm.

Your odds of success mostly depend on how old your baby is and how long it's been since you initially stopped breastfeeding. Your genes will also determine how feasible relactating is.  It is easiest to relactate if the process is started within three weeks after the birth of your baby. After that period, prolactin levels drop dramatically. You can still relactate after that window passes, but doing so can prove more difficult. Babies younger than three months are usually willing to resume breastfeeding, especially if they were breastfed previously. Between three and six months, individual temperament will determine how willing your baby will be. After six months, most babies will not be willing to return to breastfeeding. Contact the hospital you delivered through and ask to speak with a lactation consultant they have on staff there. If the hospital does not employ a lactation consultant, ask for a recommendation.  You can also ask your midwife, your doctor, or your baby's doctor for a recommendation. Most of the tricks and techniques you can use to relactate are things you can try on your own, but a lactation consultant will usually be able to give you additional advice. This can be especially helpful if you are dealing with unusual circumstances. For two full weeks, your main concern should be breastfeeding and stimulating relactation. The entire process might take more time, but you need to keep it your primary focus for at least two weeks if you want to maximize your odds of success.  Keep in mind that the amount of time it takes to relactate is usually equal to the amount of time that has passed since you stopped breastfeeding. Only 50 percent of mothers who successfully relactate establish a full supply within one month. The rest took longer, and some never produced a full supply. You will need both emotional and professional help to make it through this difficult process.  Turn to understanding family and friends for emotional support. If you know anyone who has successfully relactated, ask her for...

TL;DR in English: Consider the time frame. Contact a lactation consultant. Set aside at least two weeks. Build a base of support. Quit being so hard on yourself.

This method isn't as fast as the others, but it can keep bottles cool for long periods of time. This may be especially effective if it's a warm and sunny day. It's less messy if your containers are large, and it helps keep your beers chill if you're moving them from other cold storage. Look in the shade, not the beating sun. Try to bury your beers along the shore of a river, a lake, or a sea – but be careful if the tide is coming in. The wetter the soil, the better. You can also pour water onto the ground to keep it moist. This may be the best choice if there is no body of water around, and you have water to spare, Dig a hole that's large enough for the beer container. Bury it up to the cap or lid; in general, deeper is cooler. Consider leaving the cap or lid exposed to keep it from getting dirty. If you bury the beers completely, make sure that you don't forget where you left them!

TL;DR in English: Consider burying your beers in cool, moist soil. Find a spot of cool, moist earth. Bury the beers.

Door and window molding is essentially the same as wall molding, it simply places the boards in the other direction. Most of the same instructions apply. For doors, keep in mind that there are a number of ways to do the corners. You can miter them as discussed above, you can use decorative corner pieces, or you can construct a lintel. All of these options are likely easier than the mitered corners. Don't forget to accommodate doors. Make sure there will not be any overlap. Windows are much the same as doors. The main difference for installing molding on windows is that you must be careful of the window frame. Do not entirely overlap the window frame and make sure you are only hammering molding into the studs around the window. Doing base trim, or the molding at floor level, is mostly the same as installing it anywhere else on a wall. Just be sure to use thin blocks or skims to account for carpeting. You don't want to place the molding directly at the subfloor. Also, don't forget about shoe molding. It is installed exactly the same as wall molding and can make your floor look much cleaner and professional. Chair and picture rails are the same as wall molding. Just be sure to use a laser level and measure constantly to make sure you're keeping them straight. Shadow boxes are built much like picture frames. Make sure to lay everything out in pencil before you cut your pieces, try to make as many as possible the same size to save time, and make sure you hammer them in at the studs (to avoid hitting wires or pipes). For doing odd angles, such as for stairs, just remember the formula we discussed earlier: take the total angle that needs to be accomplished and divide it by 2 (for the two pieces making the turn).

TL;DR in English: Install door molding. Install window molding. Install base trim. Install chair or picture rails. Install shadow boxes.

If you have a large number of blackheads, or acne, considering using a face wash that contains salicylic acid.  Always wash your face with warm water to open the pores before applying the cleanser.  Always apply a moisturizer to your skin after you’ve finished washing your face.  To open your pores even more before cleansing, steam your skin by placing your face above a bowl of hot or boiling water. Always wash your face after any activities that cause you to sweat heavily. Exfoliation can irritate your skin if it is done too often.  Start with exfoliating once per week.  If your skin isn’t irritated, you can add a couple more times a week. Your hands touch everything else, so you want to prevent your hands from touching your face and transferring oil, dirt and bacteria to your pores.  This includes preventing your hair from touching your face if possible.  Your hair naturally contains oils that can get on your skin and block your pores. SPF protection should be in any moisturizer you put on any part of your body.  And you should use moisturizer with SPF protection year-round on your face. Powder-based make-up is also better than cream-based make-up.  Always remember to thoroughly remove all your make-up before you go to bed. Also remember that it’s important to wash your make-up tools and brushes regularly as bacteria and dirt build up on them over time.  Wash them with warm water and a gentle soap. Hydration is extremely important for all your skin and the best way to hydrate your skin is simply by drinking lots of water.

TL;DR in English:


Train for your position to get the most out of your fitness. Play games and scrimmages to train your whole body at once. Replace the majority of long distance runs with interval training Build agility and reaction speed with plyometrics and direction changing workouts. Recover and build endurance with long distance runs and endurance activities. Build your upper body to improve your game play. Push yourself as hard as you can in practices, scrimmages, and drills.

You may find you have more to wear than you think. Look for baggy shirts and sweatshirts, along with anything else that fits looser, such as yoga pants and leggings. You can also wear things like loose cardigans and blazers.  Also, look for loose button-downs or other shirts that are extra-long so they can help cover your bump. Don't forget to check out your accessories. A great statement necklace, a colorful scarf, or a unique bracelet can make a basic outfit look special. When you start developing a bump, you can still rely on stretchy shirts for a while. The key is to pick tops that are long and flowy. That way, they'll stretch over your bump without leaving your belly peeking out the bottom. You can see ruching in shirts and dresses by looking for gathered fabric along the side hem. The benefit of ruching is it gives the garment extra stretch because there's extra material to go around. Often, shirts with ruching will last throughout your pregnancy. Wrap a rubber band through the button loop on your pants, stretch it over the button. This trick will give you some extra breathing room as your baby bump grows.  You can also unbutton the top button and hold it together with a safety pin. Put on a wide belt or long shirt to hide your makeshift pant extenders. Because low-rise pants sit lower on your waist, they can sit under your growing belly. Just be sure to pick longer shirts so you're not exposing your belly bump to everyone (unless you want to). While this won't work for every person, it can help your bras fit for longer. Extenders fit between the closures, making the band bigger. Though it won't make the cup size bigger, it will give you some breathing room. You can find these online or in most stores that sell bras. These won't be as form-fitting as maternity clothes. However, they will help you transition after your pregnancy back to regular clothes when you still have your baby belly. This works great for t-shirts and other stretchy items.

TL;DR in English: Check your closet before shopping. Opt for longer shirts and tunics. Look for shirts and dresses with ruching. Make your pants stretchier with a rubber band or hair tie. Try low-rise options to fit pants under your bump. Buy an extender for your bras to let them last through your pregnancy. Choose clothes with stretch that are 1-2 sizes bigger.

Take a good look around the room to see the layout and different objects. Begin walking around and looking at signs, decorations on the walls, and take note of where furniture is placed. Take a mental note of or jot down anything that strikes you as unusual, such as a letter missing from a word or a decoration that seems out of place. Look underneath vases, tablecloths, tables, and chairs. Look inside of drawers and cabinets. If you find something that’s locked, there’s probably a key somewhere that will unlock it and most likely it is part of the puzzle series. You won’t have to climb anything or remove things from walls; your guide will tell you this, but it’s good to keep in mind so you don’t waste time trying those things. Resist the urge to watch and “help” someone else as they work on a puzzle, unless they ask specifically for your help. You’ll make better use of your time by going to a different puzzle or clue and focusing on solving that. Spreading out is especially helpful in the beginning of the game. Later, if there’s only one puzzle left open, then of course your group can gather around it and try to solve it together. Don’t spend more than 5 minutes alone on one particular puzzle. If you can’t think of any more ideas for solving it, ask for help or for a teammate to take it over entirely. If a few different people can’t figure it out, that may be a sign that you need more information to solve it, or a hint from your guide. Passing around items you can’t solve ensures that puzzles don’t get forgotten about; forgetting about a puzzle until the last minute can make your team think they are farther ahead than they really are. While it’s important to remember the original location of an object, it can also be helpful to put related things together. For instance, books or pictures that seem related, keys, or other similar loose objects should be placed together in a central location of the room. It is helpful to keep a running list of objects and where they were originally located. Choose a person on...

TL;DR in English: Observe everything in the room when you get there. Leave nothing untouched. Spread out to different clues and puzzles. Pass clues that you can’t solve onto someone else. Organize all clues and information. Create “used” and “unused” piles of objects. Leave used keys in their locks.

After you have finished washing your hair, dry it with a towel and proceed with your normal styling routine, but do not blow dry your hair. Let your hair air dry for a while until it is just damp. Secure the towel with a strong hair clip or safety pin. The towel will help prevent hair from getting on your neck and clothing.  You may also want to put some newspaper on the floor to catch the hair that you trim off. Before you begin, make sure that you will be able to see the front and back of your hair by placing one mirror in front of you and another behind you. The mirrors should be facing each other. Adjust the mirrors until you can see the front and the back of your head in the mirror in front of you. If you have long hair, this step is optional since you should be able to bring each strand forward as you trim your curls. Using a pair of sharp haircutting scissors, trim the ends of each of your curls. Make sure the scissors you use are meant for cutting hair and that they are very sharp. Cut the hair near the ends or in the curve of the curl. Begin by trimming the topmost layers and work your way down through your curls, layer by layer. After you finish trimming the ends of one layer, use a hair clip to separate the trimmed hair from the hair that you have not yet cut. Keeping the trimmed hair separate will help prevent you from cutting the same curls twice. Continue trimming the ends of your curls until you have trimmed them all. This may take a while, especially if you have thick hair. Just be patient and don’t rush! When you are finished, run your fingers through your curls and shake them out. Inspect your hair from all angles and make sure it looks how you want it to look. Use the scissors to touch up any spots that don’t look right. Look for any strands that are drastically longer than others or that are angled differently and trim as needed.

TL;DR in English: Wash and condition your hair. Wrap a towel around your neck and shoulders. Arrange your mirrors. Trim your curls. Separate the trimmed curls from the untrimmed curls. Shake out your curls. Inspect your curls.

Different soccer players have different training needs to be successful. A goalie, after all, doesn't need to be able to run for as long as a center midfielder. But even similar positions, like outside defenders and midfielders, can focus on slightly different training regimens:   Goalies: Need quick, powerful reactions and very little long-distance stamina. Focus on strength, reactions, and a slim, quick figure.  Defenders: Need upper/lower body strength and sprinting speed. Rarely required to jog or run for long, continuous times, they need to be able to get to every ball and win it in the air or on the ground.  Midfielders: Need to be able to run for days. They should have exceptional stamina and above-average speed. Quickness and strong foot skills are a must.  Forwards: Need a balance of speed and strength, like defenders, but must also be able to jog for days to confuse defenders and open up offensive space. The best way to get in soccer shape is to play soccer. While you will need to work on additional training as well, games force you to work on endurance, strength, speed, and agility in real-life situations. As long as you're exhausted at the end of the game, you've gotten a good training session in. When playing games for fun, move around and play multiple positions. This will help you learn the game and build full-body fitness. . Interval training is when you alternate hard sprints or effort with short rest periods, teaching your body to get to top speed and recover your energy quickly. It is much more game-realistic than an hour of jogging, and is proven to get faster results. A sample workout might look like this (note that there is no "rest" period. Jogging is your rest).  Jog for 5-10 minutes to warm up. Sprint for 30 seconds. Jog for 1 minute (1:30 if struggling) Alternate sprinting/jogging for 9 more sprints. Jog for 5-10 minutes to cool down. Lower the rest period as you get better, eventually aiming for a 30-second sprint and jog. Being quick on your feet is essential to becoming a killer...

Use the spines to find the letter. Find your subject within the volume. Browse the encyclopedia.

Don’t put yourself in a place where you will be self-conscious or experience interruptions.  Libraries are designed for finding great books and reading!  You can grab a book and get started right away in the quiet of your local library branch. Go to a park or somewhere outdoors.  If you associate reading with oppressive indoor settings, going outdoors can be a great way to break up the monotony.  Try walking on the treadmill with a book. Some people simply cannot sit still while reading. Some studies say that you can remember more later if you read while walking on the treadmill, and the jolt of dopamine you get from multitasking may encourage you to keep reading. Many people think that they do not have time to read, but the truth is that they just have not found the time.  Some easy tweaks may add an hour or so per day of extra time.  If you normally have down time before or after work (extra time waking up or winding down), you can make reading a part of that routine. If you spend time checking your email or playing games as a matter of routine, put your book by your laptop or on the couch to remind you to read instead. Small adjustments make a difference. Getting up a little earlier can make time for reading in your breakfast routine.  Getting to the gym earlier can make an extra half-hour for reading before bed. Goal-oriented reading is less pleasurable than relaxed reading. You will feel happier after reading if it is done without any stress on finding information or reading a certain number of pages.   Go to bed a half hour or hour earlier than usual, so that you have time to read before you get too tired. Reading under the light of a lamp is much healthier than looking at the blue light of a phone screen or e-reader. It's good to read in the morning as you can get an inspirational and fresh start to your day. Be aware that the light from an e-reader device may disrupt your sleep. A real book might be a better option before bed. This is not the most relaxed way of reading, but if you are an on-the-go...

TL;DR in English: Look for a quiet, comfortable space to settle in with a book. Add reading to your schedule. Read before going to sleep. Squeeze reading in between activities. Get away from screens.

Though you can slow down the sublimation process, you can't stop it. Therefore, purchase dry ice as close to when you want to use it as possible. You'll lose 5 to 10 pounds of dry ice in a day, even when the dry ice is stored well. Dry ice can burn your skin because of the extreme temperature. Insulated gloves will protect your hands from frostbite when handling dry ice. You should try to handle it as little as possible. In addition, wearing long sleeves can protect your arms while you are using dry ice. A thick styrofoam cooler is sufficient to keep dry ice for an extended period of time. You can also use a standard cooler, such as one you use to hold cold drinks. Fill up the rest of the container with crumpled paper. This process will help slow down the sublimation, as it lessens how much dead space is in the container. The more you open the container, the more warm air you let in. Warm air increases the sublimation process, meaning your dry ice evaporates more quickly. If it's cold outside, set the cooler outside. If it's warm, keep the cooler in a cool place inside. Basically, you want to keep the temperature outside of the cooler as cool as possible, as it lowers the sublimation rate of the ice. If you have a light burn that only causes redness, the burn should heal on its own. However, if dry ice causes your skin to blister or if your skin starts peeling, you need to go to the doctor.

TL;DR in English: Purchase the dry ice close to when you want to use it. Put on insulated gloves, and protect your arms. Keep the dry ice in a well-insulated container. Add crumpled paper to the container. Keep the container closed as much as possible. Place the cooler in a cold area. Pay attention to burns.

Turn on each faucet one by one. If none of your faucets works, the frozen pipe is close to or right at the main water supply, usually located on the street side of your basement or in an uninsulated crawl space. Run your hands every few feet along the pipe to find a section that feels very cold. This is the frozen section.  If water flows from some faucets but not others, the problem might be in a pipe connected to a specific faucet or a pipe on one side of the house. Check pipes in uninsulated walls first. Keep all frozen taps open until water starts to flow. Then, lower the water to a trickle. Some plastic or copper pipes will split. This will flood the area when thawed. If the pipe looks burst or has a slit in it, call a plumber immediately. Turn off the water supply, as well as the water heater. If there are no splits, begin the thawing process. Use an electric space heater, a hair dryer, or a heat lamp in a reflector to prevent a fire.  Exercise caution when placing heat-generating devices. Never leave these devices unattended for any amount of time when in use.  If you have a problem, call the plumber.  Space heaters, heat lamps, and reflective lamps can generate high temperatures, which might cause flammable materials to combust. If you need to place a heat source under the kitchen sink, remove all chemicals first.  Never put heaters in crawl spaces or in small spaces. These could cause a fire.

TL;DR in English: Locate the frozen pipe. Check the pipe in the area of the freeze. Heat the area around the frozen part.

No matter what type of fruit you're canning, the flavor and texture will hold up best over time if you use fruit that's perfectly ripe. Discard fruit that's overripe and bruised, and leave out fruit that's not quite ripe yet. Since each type of fruit has different properties, it's a good idea to follow a canning recipe designed just for the fruit you're preserving. For example, if you want to can apples, you might decide to process them as applesauce first. For peaches, you may want to peel and slice them before canning. Here is a list of techniques used to process different types of fruits for canning:   Can sliced apples  Can applesauce Can pineapple pieces  Can sliced peaches  Can sliced pears    Can berry jam; this works for any type of berry   Can stonefruit jam; this works for apricots, plums and peaches Fruit contains a lot of acid, which acts as a natural preservative and helps the fruit keep for a long time after canning. The canning method that works best for fruit is called water bath canning. This involves placing the fruit in sanitized jars and heating the jars to a certain temperature to kill off any bacteria. Once the jars are sealed, the canned fruit lasts many months. Here's what you'll need:  Boiling water bath canner or a large, deep saucepot with a lid and a rack to keep the jars from touching the bottom Glass canning jars with new lids and bands Jar lifter Run them through the dishwasher or wash each one with hot, soapy water, making sure to rinse them thoroughly when you're finished. Keep the jars hot until you use them by leaving them in the dishwasher or placing them in a pot filled with water that's hot, but not boiling. Keeping the jars hot until you use them prevents jars from breaking when you pour hot fruit inside. If you poured hot fruit into a cold jar, the glass could break. Fill the canner half-full with water and bring it to a simmer. If you're using a pot instead of a canner, place the rack inside the pot, then fill it halfway with water and bring it to a simmer.  If you...

TL;DR in English: Choose ripe, flavourful fruit. Process the fruit according to a recipe. Prepare your canning equipment. Sanitize the canning jars. Prepare the water bath canner. Fill the jars with prepared fruit. Place the jars in the canner or pot. Bring the water to a rolling boil and begin timing the processing. Use the jar lifter to remove the jars from the canner or pot. Check the lids before storing.

Go along the spines to find the letter your subject should be under. For instance, if you're looking for "Civil War," your subject will be under "C." Keep in mind that many encyclopedias have so many volumes that some letters may be spread out over multiple volumes. For instance, the Civil War might fall under a volume that is "Ci to Co." Flip through the volume to find your topic. The subjects are all alphabetical, so you'll find your subject according to its first few letters. Remember, once you've found the section for the first letter, narrow down by the second letter, then the third, and so on.  For instance, "Civil War" will be alphabetized by "C," then the "i," then the "v," and so on. The encyclopedia will have words at the top of the page to show you where you are in the alphabet. You can also simply take down a volume and look through it to find a topic that interests you. Each volume will have a range of topics, even in a more specialized collection, so just look through it until you find something that interests you.  Try keeping your sessions to twenty or thirty minutes. Flip to something you find interesting, such as an instrument you play or want to play. For instance, you could look up the saxophone just as a place to start. Browsing a print collection is actually much easier than browsing an electronic collection because you can easily turn the pages to go through a wide range of subjects.

Master the square stance. Keep a low center of gravity. Learn to sprawl to move your legs out of an opponent’s range.

Before you begin, get an idea of how bad the problem is, and whether chinch bugs are the ones responsible. Cut the base off a coffee can and push it two inches (5 cm) into the turf. Pour in soapy water until it stays filled. Repeat in several areas of your lawn, especially at the border of yellow patches. Return after ten minutes and count chinch bugs floating on the surface:  5+ chinch bugs per can: a serious infestation. Continue to the next step for treatment. 2–4 chinch bugs per can: low-level infestation. Improve lawn health and test again later. Treat immediately if your lawn is in poor health. 0–1 chinch bug per can: no treatment necessary. If your lawn is in poor health, there is probably another cause. Alternatively, you might also take a close look at the lawn with a magnifying glass. This can be effective if you catch the chinch bug infestation early, before they've spread throughout your lawn:  Rake the lawn vigorously for 2 ft (60 cm) on all sides of the damaged area, toward the center. Vacuum the damaged area and surroundings. Water thoroughly. Insecticidal soaps are considered safe and appropriate for organic farming. A homemade soap treatment is actually more likely to damage your garden, but pure castille soap or mild Ivory or Dawn products (not extra-strength, grease-cutting, or anti-bacterial) are usually safe in a solution of 2½ tbsp dishwashing liquid per 1 gallon water (40 mL per 4 L). Mix in a clean sprayer, then shake or stir vigorously to combine. If using an insecticidal soap, dilute it following label instructions instead.  This method also works best if you catch the infestation early and use it to target small areas of lawn. If you have hard water in your area, the soap may fail to mix in, leaving a scum on the surface after the water settles. If this happens, make a new mix using distilled or bottled water instead.  Using a commercial insecticidal soap for chinch bugs is not legal in Canada, although this may just be an oversight. Homemade soap treatments are allowed.  Any soap...

TL;DR in English: Check the chinch bug population. Vacuum the lawn. Buy or make a soap treatment. Spray the soapy water onto your lawn. Spread a flannel sheet over the soapy area. Repeat as needed. Encourage big-eyed bugs. Use other predatory insects. Try natural oil treatments. Sprinkle on diatomaceous earth.

Sometimes thinning hair is a sign that you aren't getting the nutrients you need. Eating a well-balanced diet is a sure way to start growing thicker, healthier hair.  Make sure you get plenty of protein - eat fish, chicken, legumes, and lean meats.     Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to hair health. Eat nuts, avocados, and olive oil.     Vitamin B is also important when it comes to nourishing your hair. Make sure you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Biotin is another essential nutrient for hair growth, found particularly in seafood, eggs and soybeans.    You can buy supplements specifically designed to help you get the nutrients you need to grow thick hair. They usually contain biotin, fish oil, protein, and a range of vitamins. Prenatal vitamins are another good choice when your goal is growing thicker hair. Spending time in the sun, in the pool, and even on your morning commute may be affecting your hair if you aren't taking measures to protect it. Being more mindful of keeping your hair safe - the same way you would your skin - can lead to thicker hair in the long run.  Wear a hat when you'll be in the sun for long periods of time. This way your hair won't get dried out and brittle. Wear a swim cap in the pool, so the chlorine doesn't damage your hair. If chlorine does get on your hair, use a daily clarifying shampoo afterwards to remove it. Try not to spend too much time in polluted areas. If you have to walk next to traffic, wear a scarf or hat. Stress can be a cause of hair loss. Find ways to make your life calmer, and eventually you may find that your hair begins to grow in thicker.  Start meditating. You can't wish your problems away, but meditation helps you figure out how to handle them better.     Get regular exercise. Keeping your body healthy helps destress the mind.     Get plenty of sleep. Sleeping for 8 hours a night is essential to your mental and physical health.

TL;DR in English: Eat foods that make your hair grow thicker. Take supplements for thicker hair. Protect your hair from outside damage. Try to de-stress.

While you are collecting oysters, you must keep them moist and in the shade. Put them on ice if you will transport them in a cooler or bucket, but do not allow them to freeze. Refrigerate them as soon as possible (within 4 hours). Once you bring them home, cover them with a clean wet towel and put them in your refrigerator until cooking. Do not keep your oysters in an airtight bag or other container, as this will kill them prematurely. Keep the oysters on a low level of your refrigerator, below any cooked food or food that will be eaten raw. Oysters with open shells that won’t close when you tap them, broken shells, or that appear dried and shriveled are probably dead and should be discarded. Cooking oysters that are already dead (or eating them raw) can be hazardous to your health. Many people like to eat oysters raw or lightly steamed. However, this will not kill potentially harmful pathogens. No amount of cooking will remove chemicals or biotoxins that the oysters may have collected from seawater, so always only harvest oysters from approved locations.  Oysters can be prepared a variety of ways: roasting, steaming, baking, grilling, frying, stewing, etc. Cook oysters according to recommended temperatures and times. For instance, they should be boiled or simmered for at least 3 minutes, fried at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 3 minutes, or baked for 10 minutes at 450 degrees Fahrenheit.  Use fresh or refrigerated oysters within two days. Discard and do not eat any old oysters. Shuck oysters and freeze them in small batches in their natural juices, or in any liquid you have cooked them in. They can remain in your freezer for up to a year, but are best if used within 3 months.   Thaw frozen oysters in your refrigerator for 24 hours prior to using them. Remember to thoroughly reheat any cooked oysters or oyster dishes. Young growing oysters need older shells to attach to. Returning undesired oysters to the water and leaving cast off shells on the beach helps ensure that young oysters have a good surface...

TL;DR in English: Keep your oysters cool. Don’t eat dead oysters. Cook oysters thoroughly. Freeze any oysters you do not want to use right away. Find out if your state recycles shells.

This stance is the neutral position from which you’ll start nearly all of your offensive and defensive moves. Start from a standing position. Separate your feet by about 2 feet (0.61 m). Then, bend your knees and slightly arch your back so you’re ready to spring in any direction. Lastly, bend your elbows at about 90° and put your hands in front of you.  A common alternative to this is the staggered stance. In a staggered stance, one foot is about 8 inches (20 cm) in front of the other and carries the majority of your weight. When in either stance, your elbows should be between your thighs. If your elbows stray outside of the them, your opponent may under hook your elbows. Keeping your legs wide and your torso low to the ground will help with this. So, keep your weight spread between both of your feet and always stay balanced on the balls of your feet. Get used to moving around in this crouched position, while maintaining the standard wrestling stance. Maintaining a low center of gravity will make it difficult for an opponent to topple you over. Sprawling is simply falling to your hip from your stance in order to prevent your opponent from performing a takedown move. When your opponent takes their shot at your leg(s), lower your hips, then drop to one knee and drop your hip on top of your opponent’s upper back. Push your opponent’s head down to the mat with one hand. This will prevent them from performing a takedown. The sprawl moves your legs out of range from someone shooting on you. This is a great way to defend against an opponent, and opens the best options to counter-attack.

TL;DR in English:
