Commit to yoga, mind and body. Focus on meditation. Try fasting.

When you start working on your index, you may want to use printed proof pages, or work directly from the computer screen. A searchable PDF will help you find the words you're indexing without disturbing the text. Typically, if you index from a hard copy you'll have to transfer your work to a digital file. If the work is particularly long, try to work straight from the computer so you can skip this extra step. Generally speaking, you'll want to index the entire text of your work, including the introduction and any footnotes or endnotes that expand on the content of the text. Typically, indexed items are nouns, like ideas, concepts, and things, that contribute to the subject of the text.  If footnotes or endnotes are merely source citations, they don't need to be included in the index. Generally, you don't need to index glossaries, bibliographies, acknowledgements, or illustrative items such as charts and graphs. If you're not sure whether something should be indexed, ask yourself if it contributes something substantial to the text. If it doesn't, it typically doesn't need to be indexed. Some publishers may require you to index any authors cited, either in text or footnotes. This may require a separate index, or they may be included in your general index. Check with your advisor or editor if you're not sure. In most cases, if you have a "works cited" section appearing at the end of your text you won't need to index authors. You would still include their names in the general index, however, if you discussed them in the text rather than simply citing their work. As you read through your work, make a list of the keywords or main concepts discussed in the text. Many of these you may already know off the top of your head. Creating an index card for each individual entry can help you sort and organize the entries before typing them up.  For example, if you're writing a book on bicycle maintenance, you might have index cards for "gears," "wheels," and "chain." Put yourself in your reader's shoes, and ask yourself why...

TL;DR in English: Choose your indexing source. Decide what needs to be indexed. List cited authors if necessary. Create index cards for entries if you’re indexing by hand. Use nouns for the main headings of entries. Include subentries for entries with 5 or more pointers. Identify potential cross references.

Sit down with every member of your household and go over your finances. How you resolve and differences in your approach to money will have a profound effect on your relationship's chances of succeeding. Now is the perfect time to set an example for your children, and show them how a family can pull together during tough times and everyone can chip in. . There are many ways to cut expenses during a recession. In many cases, you can maintain your same quality of life while focusing on living lean and cutting out extravagant and unnecessary expenses.  Cut discretionary spending. Buy nothing if you don't need it to live. Resist sales pitches. Don't even think about using that new credit card offer in the mail, even if it does have a low APR and no payments for two years, you should evaluate it carefully.  Transportation: Carpool as much as you can. Consider commuting by bicycle or even living without a car. But if that's not practical, look for ways to save money on gas. Housing: Get a roommate or consider relocating to an area with a lower cost of living. Maybe you can move in with family members until the economic downturn blows over. Keeping the peace in a multigenerational household isn't always easy, but it has its own rewards.  Food: Stop going out to eat; instead, try to cook at home from scratch more often. Consider the benefits of the slow food movement. If you don't have enough time to cook, try doing it just once a month. Find good deals at a local farmers' market. If you have a job, be an amazing employee. Now is not the time to slack. Show up early, stay late, and volunteer for projects. Pick up the slack for other workers; it's what will happen when people get laid off, anyway, so now is the time to prove yourself. Look for ways to save your employer money, especially if you see your employer doing little things to that effect, like encouraging employees to turn of their computers. Try to quantify your efforts in terms of how you've raised profits and cut costs. Start networking so that in case you...

TL;DR in English: Talk it over. Reduce expenses Keep the money flowing in. Keep saving. Enjoy life.

Exfoliating prior to shaving and after should become integral to your shaving routine. The first step aligns the hairs and gets rid of dead skin cells to get a smoother more even cut and the second time around wipes away all the up-churned bacteria and skin that can clog otherwise clean pores. So if you have razor bumps already, exfoliating will force away the very top layer of dead skin cells, in time exposing the hair that is curled up underneath. The more you exfoliate, the quicker this process will go. Every time you shave, you should finish off with a moisturizer. Aloe vera, baby oil, or any non-scented, non-perfumed lotion will do. But to treat razor bumps, consider also using a razor bump cream or other, anti-inflammatory cream. Hydrocortisone creams, retin-A creams, and products like Neosporin will reduce redness and itch. Products with salicylic acid or glycolic acid (for in razor bump creams) will eliminate the top layer of skin, to get rid of the ingrown hair. ). Some people have very sensitive skin, especially around their pubic area. To avoid the razor but still be hairless, switch to waxing. However, know that waxing can lead to histamine reactions and ingrown hairs, too -- so take the pain with a grain of salt. The other option is not to shave. Yeah, yeah, yeah, not an option. But really, would you rather have some hair growing in or little red bumps? Because right now it's one or the other. Try skipping a few days between shaves if you shave often. You'll live. You want to avoid as many possible irritants as possible when you've got a case of the bumps, and tight clothing is at the top of that list. Wearing tight undies doesn't let your skin breathe and as a result, the skin clogs, bacteria gets trapped, and the problems get worse. No thank you! Go for loose clothing if you can, too. The bumps around your thighs won't benefit from tight jeans or leggings. If anyone asks why you're wearing sweats, well, for starters it's none of their business. But you can tell them you're running a wikiHow...

TL;DR in English: Exfoliate all the time. Use creams and lotions to fight the redness and itch. Change to waxing (or don't shave! Wear loose underwear. Whip up a home remedy.

Rats like to play with just about everything, but avoid providing these types of toys or your rat could get itself caught and seriously hurt itself. Rats like to drag their tails behind them, so it could get caught in a battery-powered toy or on a sharp piece of metal. Opt for soft, rounded toys instead. A rat wheel is one of the few exceptions to this. As long as the inside panel is completely covered, the rat shouldn't get its tail stuck in any moving parts. Buy a wheel specially made for rats, as mouse and hamster wheels are just too small for them to use. Cut out some rat-sized holes in a few small boxes, such as shoe boxes, and arrange them on top of each other randomly to create a tall structure for your rats to explore. Cut some holes in the tops of the boxes too so your rats can crawl around inside the fort. Arrange other accessories as you see fit, like small pieces of fabric to create curtains, or strips of cardboard to make ladders. Add treats wrapped in paper to the inside of the fort, which entices your rats into exploring for hidden treasure! PVC pipe is perfect for creating elaborate mazes for your rats. Go to your local hardware store for a variety of at least 2.5 in (6.4 cm) wide PVC pipes. Connect angled pipes, straight pipes, and pipe connectors together in random arrangements to create a tunnel maze. You can also make fabric tunnels by cutting the legs or sleeves of old clothes and stuffing them with toilet paper tubes.  PVC pipe is better for rats who like to chew a lot, whereas a fabric tunnel lets you keep an eye on where your rat is at in the maze. Simply disconnect the PVC pipes from each other when you are ready to take down the rat play area — you can create a different maze pattern next time you let the rats out! Fill a shallow dish, no more than 1 in (2.5 cm) deep, halfway with water. Place some rocks big enough to poke out of the water, and add some frozen peas. Your water-loving rats will love the chance to get wet and get a snack at the same time, while your water-fearing rats...

TL;DR in English: Use only toys and accessories with no sharp edges or moving parts. Build a cardboard "rat fort" inside the play area. Add some PVC pipe or fabric tunnels for your rat to crawl through. Create a pea fishing pond with a shallow dish and rocks. Add a small bin of trash for your rats to root around in. Create a digging pit with a plastic container, dirt, and veggie sprouts.

Most people who do yoga use it for physical exercise. There’s nothing wrong with this approach, but it leaves out yoga’s traditional mental and spiritual sides. If you are serious about being a yogi, learn more about the whole experience.  Total yoga is “a system for relieving suffering of the mind.” Traditionally, yogis held that people suffer because of their egos, which strive for control.  By teaching us how to calm the mind and quell the ego, yoga lets us live as we truly are and in harmony with the surrounding world. If you are interested in the inner secrets of yoga, consider reading classical texts like the Yoga Sutra or the Bhagavad Gita or modern takes like Yoga: the Greater Tradition. One thing that you can do to connect to yoga’s spiritual side is to meditate. Meditation is a mix of concentration and breathing that, if done right, can help you to reach a different state of consciousness, where the mind is alert, relaxed, and directed inward.  As part of yoga, meditation can reduce stress, lessen pain, and help you manage anxiety. But meditation can also open your mind. Try to find a quiet spot and sit comfortably, with your spine erect. Close your eyes and take deep breaths. Focus on your breathing, in and out, and let your attention rest on the rhythm. It is OK if your mind wanders, but always bring it back to your breathing.  Don’t expect to “get” anything out of meditation or to feel better or worse. The point is precisely the opposite – to free you from worldly anxieties and concerns. Also, don’t worry that you are doing it wrong – there is no “wrong way” to meditate! You may have heard that fasting is good for you physically. Many people believe that it allows your body to “detox” and somehow expel harmful toxins. While the evidence for this is spotty, fasting is practiced in yoga and other spiritual traditions to help develop willpower and focus the mind. Trying it might help you to reach a higher level in your journey.  The idea behind spiritual fasting is not just to skip a few meals, but...

TL;DR in English:


Be subtle with your shadows. Layer multiple shadows for a more natural effect. Change the offset so that the shadow is directly below the object. Adjust your shadows accordingly when objects overlap.

You want a spot that has soft dirt so you can dig holes in it. Keep in mind that if you build your wrestling ring over grass, the grass underneath the ring will likely turn yellow or die. The size of your wrestling ring is up to you, but try to keep it between 8 feet (2.4 m) by 8 feet (2.4 m) and 16 feet (4.9 m) by 16 feet (4.9 m). Mark the corners of the square with stakes and use a tape measure to make sure they’re evenly spaced apart. Make the holes wide enough for the wooden posts to fit in them. When you’re finished, make sure the distance between the holes is the same so your ring isn’t lopsided. Insert the bottoms of the posts in the holes so they’re standing up straight. Then, hold a level flat against the posts to make sure they’re not tilted. Once you’re sure they’re straight, fill in the holes with dirt and pack them down so the posts are secure. These pieces of wood will run between the wooden posts to create the frame for your wrestling ring. The length of the pieces will depend on how big your ring is. To determine the length, measure the distance between 2 of your posts and add 12 inches (30 cm).  The extra 12 inches (30 cm) is so the pieces of wood extend over the sides of the posts (each post is 6 inches (15 cm) wide). You may need to cut the wooden pieces down to size, depending on the size of your ring. Set the pieces of wood on their side on the ground so they’re flush with the bases of the wooden posts. Line the ends of the pieces of wood up with the corners of the posts. Then, use a drill or hammer to fasten the ends of the wood to the posts. When you’re finished, the pieces of wood should make a square frame around your wrestling ring, with the posts in the corners.

TL;DR in English: Find a flat patch of ground for your wrestling ring. Measure and mark a square where your ring will go. Dig a 2 foot (0.61 m) deep hole in each corner of the square. Bury the bottoms of the posts in the holes. Buy four 2 inch (5.1 cm) tall by 8 inch (20 cm) wide pieces of wood. Drill or hammer the pieces of wood into the posts.

If there was no way for you to complete your assignment without the materials you left at school, try to go in early the next morning. If your school offers early morning study hall (or a breakfast period), you can easily get there early and work in the morning. If you need to get into your classroom, you can email your teacher to see if they can let you in early. If you are not able to go into school early (or if you do not finish your assignment during that time), you can work during any downtime you have during the day. If a teacher gives you time in class to work on something, you can work on the homework from last night instead. You can work during any free period, recess, or lunch in order to get the assignment done. If you were not able to get the assignment done during your school day, you may still be able to turn it in without getting a late grade. Talk to you teacher and find out if you can stay after school for a little bit to finish the assignment. It is likely that your teacher will need to stay for a little while anyway, and they may respect your initiative to get the late assignment complete as soon as possible. A similar option is to email the assignment to your teacher. Sometimes if you can get it to your teacher the same day it is due (even in a digital format), your teacher will not mark the assignment late. Talk to your teacher and find out if this is an option for you. Then complete the assignment as soon as you get home.  If you have multiple email accounts, use the one associated with your school. Once again, use proper grammar, complete sentences, and good etiquette when you communicate with your teacher via email. If all else fails, talk to your teacher about getting an extension. Explain what happened, describe all the methods you tried in order to get this assignment done, and ask for permission to turn it in late. Keep in mind that if this happens more than once, your teacher may be less likely to give you an extension.

TL;DR in English: Go to school early the next day to try to finish it before class. Work during any free periods if you need to. Stay after school so you can turn the assignment in that day. Email it to your teacher if allowed. Get an extension if necessary.

Botulism poisons the duck, causing what's sometimes known as "Limberneck Disease." It causes paralysis, starting with the duck having trouble taking off or going under the water. The duck's legs will be paralyzed, and you may see the duck trying to move only with its wings. The duck's eyelids and neck will droop. The paralysis may also be accompanied by diarrhea. Once you realize a duck is sick, move it away from the area where it was infected. You should provide some basic shelter for the duck. Leaving the duck where it is means the duck will continue to be infected with the bacterium. You have to move it away from the source if it's going to recover. However, not all ducks will recover. Only a duck that didn't get a lethal dose of the bacterium will be able to recover. When you first notice the symptoms, it's important to provide fresh water for that duck. The water may help flush out the bacterium.  If the duck won't drink, use a syringe to give the duck fresh water. The two main antitoxins are Trivalent (A, B, E) Botulinum Antitoxin and Heptavalent (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) Botulinum Antitoxin. You can get the first from the CDC (your local office), and you will likely need to get the second through a vet, who will get it from the CDC. The second is recommended for more types of botulism.  Ducks are most often affected by Type C Botulism, which generally doesn't cause problems for people, dogs, or cats. Sometimes, they are affected by Type E Botulism.  Generally, this treatment is not used. It's not very practical, as it must be given early on, when symptoms aren't as obvious. Botulism can sometimes be caused by a wound that lets the bacterium into the blood. If your duck has wounds, you should have a vet look at them, as they may need to be treated surgically. Most ducks who are going to recover from botulism will do so withing 2 days. If your duck makes it that long, it will likely be fine.

TL;DR in English: Watch for the symptoms. Move the duck. Provide plenty of fresh water. Give an antitoxin. Treat wounds. Wait 2 days.

Make sure you take breaks to get up, walk around, and clear your thoughts at work when you're stressed. Don't work through your lunch break. Consider getting up to stretch or talk to coworkers to re-energize yourself. Also take regular breaks to get water. Try to create a workspace that makes you feel calm, capable, and motivated. This will reduce your stress load and help you feel more productive at work. You can:  Buy plants for your office or cubicle. Declutter your desk. Make sure your chair is comfortable and adjusted well. Wear noise-canceling headphones to give yourself some quiet while working. Sit near a window for natural light, which is better than fluorescent lighting. To better enjoy your job and reduce your stress load, know when to negotiate and when to ask for help. This will allow you to feel more empowered and less alone at work. Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself for a raise or promotion. Don't be afraid to ask for help from colleagues, superiors, or clients. Seek out opportunities for supervision, consultation, or training. In order to keep better work-life balance and reduce stress, try to avoid taking any work home with you. This means avoiding taking physical work home, as well as avoiding thinking about work while you're at home.  If you work from home, schedule specified times for work-related tasks and don't let them interfere with home tasks. For example, after 5 p.m. make sure you stop checking emails or answering calls for work, even though you may technically be available. Keep a work space at home that's separate from your other spaces.

TL;DR in English: Schedule regular breaks. Make your workplace comfortable. Know when to negotiate. Don't take work home with you.

Drop shadows exist to give the illusion of depth to 2D objects. If the shadow is too pronounced, it will draw attention to itself and shatter the illusion. Shoot for an Opacity setting of 30-40% for a subtle and effective shadow. You can apply multiple shadow effects to give your shadows more depth. For example, you might have an object with text underneath it. Adding another faint shadow between the object and the text can help connect them in the viewer's eye. This is especially useful if you have multiple similar elements on the same page, such as buttons with labels underneath each one. The default settings for the shadow offset will display the shadow to the bottom-right of the object. A more natural and pleasing look, especially for web design, it to have the "light source" directly above the object so that the shadow only appears along the bottom edge. This will give your designs more balance. To do this, set the "Offset X" value to "0", and use the "Offset Y" value to set how deep the shadow is. Shadows exist to help the viewer determine depth. If you have multiple objects overlapping, and they all have the same drop shadow settings, your design will be hard to interpret. Overlapping elements should have smaller shadows, so that they don't appear to float high above the object below. Make all of your shadows sizes relative to the total height from the top overlapping object to the base.  For example, if the topmost object has a shadow that is 20 px on the base of the image, an object that is tucked underneath it should have a smaller shadow where it intersects the topmost object, maybe 10 px. Give higher objects a lighter shadow. As you build your drop shadows for multiple objects, your "higher" objects should have slightly lighter shadows, while objects that are "closer" to the canvas should have darker shadows. This will help differentiate between the different heights. Increase the blur radius for higher objects to make the shadows softer as well.

Once you've developed an understanding of the types of writing and the skills necessary to write online, start looking for some freelance opportunities and open calls for content. Most big cities that update regularly don't have a paid staff of writers. Rather, they contract out the content to freelancers, who are paid by the article, or as per some other arrangement. Whatever your niche interest, there are probably venues within that niche that hire freelance writers regularly. There are lots of databases of freelance job listings, one of which can be found here.   If you're searching around on Craigslist, try looking for telecommuting opportunities in major metropolitan areas. Lots of online writing gigs are listed in the Bay Area, though lots of content will have no connection to that geography. You can do the job just as well from Iowa or Indonesia as from Brooklyn or SF. There are also freelance agencies that serve small businesses, hiring out content and finding work for you. Digital Sherpa, Content Launch, and Zerys are examples of agencies that will hire you to write content for other sites on a rolling basis.  Many jobs that involve lots of writing online aren't necessarily titled "Writing Position." Look for subtler buzzwords, like "content" and "copy." Lots of Internet start-ups will use the jargon of the start-up, but the job will essentially revolve around writing tasks. Content farms will offer a small amount of money for a huge amount of writing expected from you in a very short amount of time. These kinds of jobs won't provide you any good copy to use on a resume, because content farms are completely devoted to producing exponentially increasing numbers of low-quality content, basically as a way of having something to slap ads on to. If you've ever wound up on a page with more ads than writing, or on a mis-spelled domain page, you've seen one of these sites. These sites pay writers next to nothing, have no content standards, and lower the standards of online discourse considerably. Avoid them....

TL;DR in English: Find a variety of freelance content jobs. Avoid content farms. Prepare a portfolio of your best work. Advertise your skills online. Submit to publications that pay contributors. Look for editorial or content positions with online publications or businesses.

Suspenders go across the corners of the fitted sheet. Suspenders can have metal clips or plastic locking mechanisms, where a knob fits into place on the other side. Lock them into place on the corners, about 6 inches (15 cm) out on either side of the corner seam. Put the sheet on the bed, tucking the suspenders under the mattress. Cut a short length of elastic. Use elastic that's 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide or so. A length of about 6 inches (15 cm) should be fine. Stretch out the corner of the sheet so you have about 6 inches (15 cm) of straight (not ruffled) sheet on either side of the seam at 1 corner. Mark the length on the sheet with a small safety pin on each end. Pin the ends of the elastic at each marker. The elastic should draw the corner of each sheet together. Repeat for each corner, and then place the sheet on the bed. You can also sew these in place if you prefer.

TL;DR in English: Use suspenders to hold the corners in place. Cut elastic to create your own suspenders. Mark the place you'll pin the elastic on either side of the corner seam. Use safety pins to attach the elastic to the fitted sheet.

One of the easiest ways to customize the flavor of sex on the beach cocktails is to use something other than peach schnapps. Try using 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of melon liqueur with 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of Chambord, for a fruitier drink. You could also substitute the schnapps with:  Coconut rum liqueur Apple schnapps Cherry liqueur Vodka is known for being a strong alcohol that's flavorless. If you'd like your cocktails to have a warmer, richer flavor, use your favorite rum or tequila. For even more flavor, try a spiced rum. If you're not sure if you'll like the substitution, play around with using half vodka and half rum or tequila.

TL;DR in English: Use a different liqueur instead of peach schnapps. Use rum or tequila instead of vodka to give the cocktails more flavor.

The first step toward eating 9,000 calories a day is eating more often than most people do and finding ways to increase the amount of healthy food you can take in per meal.  Don't let more than four hours go by without eating a meal (unless you are sleeping).  Eating often will provide you with an opportunity to increase your caloric intake. Drink healthy beverages that have a high caloric content between and with your meals.  Fruit juices like apple juice, orange juice, cranberry juice, and grape juice are high in calories and nutrients. Buy bigger plates so meals seem smaller.  Silly as it may seem, bigger plates can make it easier to add more food to your plate (and your diet) without it seeming like too much. Sleep is when your body does most of its healing and repairing of bodily tissues, so eating right before bed will ensure your body has fresh nutrients available to maximize tissue production.  Your metabolism doesn't actually slow down while you're sleeping, but your body is much less active.  A meal before you go to sleep will ensure you use as many calories as you can out of your late night snacks for recovery and regeneration. Lost body heat is one of the biggest energy drains the human body endures regardless of activity level.  Adopting a 9,000 calorie daily diet means you're burning at least that many through your metabolism and training, so don't waste some of them on just keeping warm.  When you're cold, your body burns calories to create body heat.  Avoid the caloric cost keeping you warm by staying that way to begin with.  Stay warm to inhibit the production of thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormones aid in uncoupling proteins to create body heat and are also known as one of the stronger metabolism regulating hormones.  Stress also increases your metabolism.  Stress can release adrenaline and thyroxine which both can speed up your metabolism.  Reducing stress will limit your body's production and release of these chemicals. In order to make sure you're taking in as many calories as possible in...

Active compounds found in tea are a natural alternative to harsh chemicals commonly found in store-bought dish soaps. Help degrease especially problematic dirty dishes by adding old teabags to a sink full of warm water and soaking them for a while before trying your hand at scrubbing them again. Set two or three used teabags in your toilet and let them sit for several minutes. Flush the toilet, then scrub the bottom of the bowl to help remove pesky stains at the bottom. Be careful, though—leaving the tea in the toilet for too long can actually cause more staining due to the tannins, so it might be better to use a lighter-colored tea for this purpose. Wipe your mirrors down with wet used teabags and then buff them dry with a soft cloth. The natural, active compounds in the tea help to break down scum, and making sure to dry the mirror in circular motions will help you achieve a streak-free shine. Split open your used teabags and wait for the tea leaves to become mostly dry. Then, sprinkle them all over your carpet or rug and wait until they are completely dry. Vacuum up the tea leaves, and not only will you have a cleaner carpet but your vacuum cleaner will smell better, too!

TL;DR in English: Degrease stubborn dishes. Clean the very bottom of the toilet bowl. Shine your mirrors. Clean your carpet or rug.

Holding hands, putting your arm around your partner while walking, or even just sitting beside one another are all ways to show affection without being overly physical. Affection doesn’t necessarily have to be sexual in nature. Simple displays of affection and making sure to touch one another often are great ways to bring you closer. Try watching a movie together while cuddling on the couch. Even simply cuddling and being physically close to each other can make you feel closer on an emotional level. If you’re parents, or work often, you might find that your time and energy for intimacy are often limited. It’s not a bad thing to set aside time to be physically intimate with one another. However, it’s still important to be spontaneous and passionate now and then just to keep things interesting! If you don’t want to “schedule” your intimacy, just focus on making it a priority that you both can keep. While physical intimacy is important, it’s important to talk things out with your partner and respect their needs and desires. For example, before you push more frequent physical intimacy on them, have a discussion about it. Ask them if they think you both could benefit from being physically closer. Ask them how they think you should go about being more affectionate with one another, and what they’d be comfortable with. Not only will you be respecting them and their boundaries, you’ll also be having meaningful discussions about your relationship. It’s important to respect your partner’s feelings, as well. If they happen to be dealing with something in their lives and are having a hard time, for example, it might not be the best time to bring up physical intimacy. Reassure them that you are there for them, regardless of your physical relationship. If you are having trouble with physical intimacy that you can’t seem to get past on your own, it might be a good idea to talk to a therapist who specializes in helping couples overcome these kinds of struggles. Problems with sexual intimacy often stem from emotional issues...

TL;DR in English: Be affectionate. Make time for intimacy. Respect your partner. Seek the help of a sex therapist. Give it time.

Use a color-safe shampoo or a special wig shampoo. Place the wig under a tap with warm water to get rid of any excess dye before lathering the wig with shampoo. Rinse out the shampoo when you are done. This will give extra shine to your wig. Avoid using any conditioner near the roots of your wig or else the hair might fall out. Rinse out the conditioner with cool or lukewarm water. Gently squeeze the wig with the towel to remove excess water. Place it back on the wig stand to dry. You can let it air dry or you can use a hair dryer on a low setting. If you are air drying the wig, leave it on the stand until it is completely dry. If you are blow drying it, run the hair dryer up and down through your hair. Make sure that the wig does not overheat.

Choose a vine with slipping bark, then cut away the top of the vine with a saw.  This method is also among the simplest grafting methods for grape vines, but it tends to be slightly less particular and slightly less successful than cleft grafting. Bark slipping occurs when the bark actually begins to separate and peel away from the wood of the vine. Ideally, you should wait until all of the bark on a vine begins to split before trying to use this grafting method. You only need to cut 4 inches (10 cm) or so from the top of the vine. You can cut more if you desire a shorter head height, though. Select a dormant scion and slice off a portion of bark and wood along the bottom half of the shoot using a sharp, clean blade.  This cut should be about 2 inches (4 cm) long and should be straight yet slanted. For best results, position this cut on the opposite side of the bud.  Make a secondary cut on the opposite (bud) side of the scion. This cut should be similar in shape but only one-third the length of the primary cut. Use the same blade to cut into the side of the rootstock, near the cut top. The portion you cut away should match the shape and size of the portion removed from the scion.  Remove the loose outer bark from the intended grafting location. Hold the cut edge of the scion against the intended grafting location on the stock. Cut a slit into the bark on both sides. The slit should be as wide as the diameter of the scion and as deep as the full scion length. Slip the cut surface of the scion into the newly cut wedge of in the rootstock.  You may need to use a flat screwdriver to help you peel away the flap of bark on the stock. Roughly one-third to one-half of this flap should be removed before you place the scion into the wedge. The long side of the scion should be placed against the trunk of the stock. Wrap the grafted vines together with a durable rubber band or heavy-duty tape. Seal the entire exposed area with grafting compound. For additional security, hold the graft together with 1-inch (2.5-cm) long...

TL;DR in English: Remove the top of the vine. Cut a pattern into the basal end of the scion. Make a matching cut in the stock. Insert the scion into the cut. Seal the grafted area.

Once you've calculated the total return (as above), plug the result into this equation: Annualized Return=(1+ Return)1/N-1 The outcome of this equation will be a number that corresponds to your return each year over the full span of time.  In the exponent (the little number outside the parentheses), the “1” represents the unit we are measuring, which is 1 year. If you wish to be more specific, you could use “365” to capture a daily return. The “N” represents the number of periods that we are measuring. So, if you are measuring your return over 7 years, you would use the number 7 in the place of "N." For example, suppose that over a seven-year period, your portfolio grew in value from $1,000 to $2,500. First, calculate your overall return: (2,500-1,000)/1000 = 1.50 (a return of 150%). Next, calculate your annualized return: (1 + 1.50)1/7-1 = 0.1399=13.99% annual return. That's all there is to it! Use the ordinary mathematical order of operations: do the operations inside the parentheses first, then apply the exponent, then do the subtraction. Now, let's say that you want to find semiannual returns (returns occurring twice a year, every six months) over the course of this seven-year period.  The formula stays the same; you only need to adjust the number of periods that you are measuring. Your final result will be a semiannual return.  In this case, you will have 14 semiannual periods, two per year over the course of seven years. First, calculate your overall return: (2,500-1,000)/1000 = 1.50 (a return of 150%). Next, calculate your annualized return: (1 + 1.50)1/14-1 = 6.76%. You can convert this into an annual return by simply multiplying by 2: 6.76% x 2 = 13.52%. You can also calculate the annualized equivalent of shorter returns. For example, imagine you only had a six-month return and wanted to know its annualized equivalent. Once again, the formula stays the same.  Suppose over a six-month period, your portfolio increases in value from $1,000 to $1,050. Start by calculating your overall return:...

TL;DR in English: Calculate your annualized return. Calculate semi-annual returns. Calculate an annualized equivalent.

Consider telling someone who has been helpful and supportive of you before.  A friend who may have been there for you before might not be there for you now. Sometimes, a friend will be so shocked that they will not respond the supportive way you hope they will. Know that just because they have been there for you in the past, however, your friend may not initially respond the way you hope because they may be in shock. This is the most important factor. You have to feel really comfortable with this person and know that you can really talk to them and trust them to be there for you. Be warned though, that just because a friend has kept your secrets in the past doesn’t mean they will keep this one. People are often scared to hear a friend is self-harming and they might feel compelled to tell someone about it because they want to help you. If you just need to get it off your chest, you might want to choose a trusted friend. If you think you want medical help, you may choose to tell your doctor first. Thinking about what you hope to get out of this initial conversation can help you decide who to tell.  If you are a teen, you might want to consider first telling an older person that you trust before you tell your friends. Try a parent, school counsellor, or teacher. This way, you will have support already in place before you tell your friends. If you are in therapy for something already, tell that therapist first. They can then work with you to sort out how to best tell your friends and family. If you are not in therapy, now is the time to seek help because it is best to work through this process with someone professional who has experience dealing with self-harm. You may be struggling with issues of faith so you might want to tell your priest or minister. Before you tell your doctor, think about the services they may offer you, so you can be prepared to decide if you want to: accept referrals to group therapy or individual counselling, have visits from a nurse at home, or talk about medications if you are depressed...

TL;DR in English: Reflect on who has been there for you during the tough times in the past. Choose someone you trust. Think about what your goal is in telling that person.

When performing the push up, your lower back must be straight, i.e., not sagging or arching, and your feet must be shoulder width apart. Your elbows should be tucked close to your body, i.e., at a 20 to 40 degree angle from your abdomen. As you go down, make sure your chest gets as close to the floor as possible.  Make sure to tighten your abdomen, legs, and buttocks. This will prevent your back from arching and sagging. Try not to let your hips touch the floor. They should be on the same level as your shoulders. When you are performing the push up, make sure to inhale as you go down. Then exhale as you go back up. If it is hard for you to remember to breathe, then count out loud as you do your push ups. The act of talking will force you to breathe as you do your push ups. Start out by doing as many push ups as you comfortably can. This is called a set. Then do two more sets. Make sure to rest for 60 seconds or more in between sets. Practice this three to four times a week, or every other day until you are comfortable.  For example, if you can only do seven full push ups, then start out by doing three sets of seven push ups every other day until you are comfortable. Once you can comfortably do your normal number of push ups, add three to five more push ups. Adding more push ups will challenge your muscles, enabling you to build more muscle. Make sure to stick to your routine. If you find it hard to stick to a routine, then ask a friend to join you. Alternatively, you can hire a personal trainer to keep you on track as you strive for your goal.   For example, if you have been doing push ups three days a week, then do not throw off your routine by reducing it to twice a week. Depending on the intensity of your routine, you may see results in one to two months.

TL;DR in English:

If we recognize we are to blame, we may feel guilt and a need for forgiveness. When you think of memories, they may create these uncomfortable feelings. To identify why it is you may feeling like this, ask yourself:  Am I feeling this way because of the outcome of what I did makes me feel bad? Am I feeling this way because I am to blame for a bad outcome? Everyone fails at something at one point in her life or other. Do not think that failing at something - whether it be a job or relationship - makes you a bad person. As Bill Gates said: “It is fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.”  Learning from one’s mistakes is a step of forgiving oneself. To really forgive yourself, do not be afraid to start from scratch. Learning to forgive yourself is not just learning to live with the past. It is learning from that experience. Take what you have learned and apply it to building a better you. One way to move forward with yourself is to adapt from what you have learned.   Set goals yourself for the future that help to promote a better and stronger mindset. This look into the future may help your forgive yourself in the present by focusing on the positive changes you are able to make.   Whenever you feel guilt, follow the words of Les Brown, "Forgive yourself for your faults and mistakes and move on." This will help you whenever you make a mistake.

TL;DR in English: Diagnose why you need to forgive yourself. Accept that failures do not make you a bad person. Do not be afraid to start anew. Adapt a new mindset by learning from past mistakes.

A popular way to use kief is to add a small amount, like ¼ gram, to a cup of hot coffee or tea. The heat activates the cannabinoids, producing a strong and long-lasting effect about 15-30 minutes after consumption. Remember that the potency depends on the strain of marijuana and your personal tolerance level. Butter infused with kief can be used to create edibles like cookies or brownies. First, decarboxylate the kief to activate the THC by baking it in a covered oven-safe dish for 7 minutes in an oven preheated to 300 °F (149 °C). Allow it to cool with the cover on. Then:  Melt 2 sticks (½ lb) of high-fat butter in a saucepan on medium-high heat. Add 1 gram of decarboxylated kief and stir until it is completely dissolved. Use a spatula to transfer the butter to a heat-safe dish. Once it cools, cover it and store it in the fridge for up to 2 months. Kief has a very subtle flavor, so it won’t change the taste of your dishes. Sprinkle it over pasta or pizza, or put a dash of it in a soup or stew. If you have a recipe for edibles that calls for buds, you can substitute them for ½ to ⅔ the amount of kief instead.

TL;DR in English: Sprinkle kief in your morning coffee or tea. Make kief butter. Sprinkle kief over your favorite dishes after cooking. Use kief instead of buds in edible recipes.

You will need a wood board, sanded and smooth. Also, find some paint or varnish (or another clear coating), and a soldering iron with a calligraphy tip will be required. A pencil and paper will also be useful. Soldering irons can be a little tricky. Practice on some scrap wood first, so that you can see how slow you need to go and how hard you need to press. It will also give you the chance to figure how to move the iron, in order to get different shapes. Make sure the wood is clean and smooth. You can draw the design free-hand or you can use a "cheat". This means printing the characters onto a transfer paper. You can also purchase ink stamps from a craft store. Make sure the designs are not too small or detailed, especially if you do not have a lot of experience with a soldering iron. Draw over the design with the iron. Do not rush. Look at it in different lights to be sure that it looks right. Let the burned areas cool and then brush off any excess material. Erase pencil marks and other marks and gently wipe the whole surface with a lightly damp cloth. Let it dry before continuing. The varnish or other clear coating will create the smooth surface necessary to make the planchette work. Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding the finish you decide to use. You will likely need to do several coats. Let each coat dry before applying the next. Set aside plenty of time for this project. You can paint on more details once the varnish has dried completely. Details are best painted on before the second to last layer of varnish. This will keep the color clear.

TL;DR in English: Gather your materials. Practice using the soldering iron. Get your board prepped. Draw out your design. Go over the designs with the soldering iron. Let it cool, then clean the surface. Varnish the surface. Add finishing details.

Like many other cuts of meat, New York strip steaks can be given extra flavor by soaking them in a marinade before cooking. We've provided a recipe to one simple but delicious marinade above, but literally hundreds of others will also work well. There aren't any hard and fast rules for making your own marinade, but there are a few basic guidelines that most marinades follow. If you're a novice, try including the following ingredients in your marinade to start with:  A source of fat. Usually, this is an oil, like vegetable oil, canola oil, olive oil, sesame oil, etc. An acid. This can be a citrus juice (like lemon, lime, or orange), wine, vinegar (balsamic, red wine, apple cider, etc.) or another acidic liquid. Other seasonings. You can get creative here — anything from Worcestershire sauce to dijon mustard to peanut butter to parsley to garlic to soy sauce can work, depending on whether it pairs well with the other ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste. When your marinade is mixed, put your steaks in an airtight plastic bag or a seal-able fridge container and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them sit in your fridge for at least two hours so that they're able to soak up the flavor of the marinade — some chefs let their meat marinade overnight or even several days to give it an extra dose of flavor. As with pan-searing, good grilled steaks require a high-temperature initial searing to develop their delicious crust. For this reason, you'll want to start your grill or barbecue well before you plan to cook. Keep the lid close to speed up the grill's heating process.  For gas grills, pre-heating is easy — simply set one or more burners to "high" and shut the lid for 5 minutes or so. For charcoal grills, first, you'll need to light your charcoal, wait for it to flame up, and finally ash over before cooking can begin. This process can take upwards of half an hour, so leave yourself plenty of time. Once your charcoals are ready for cooking, spread them out evenly with a grill tool to prepare the entire grill...

TL;DR in English:


Fill a pot with well-draining soil. Place the onion cutting in the soil and fill the pot with soil. Water the onion cutting immediately after planting it. Spray nitrogen fertilizer into the soil after watering it.

If the psychotic individual is not violent,  talk to them in a normal voice.  It is best to give 5 times the amount of space, maintain an open posture, and avoid facing the person squarely, which could appear threatening. Try to comfort them, if they experience or hallucinate something unpleasant. The conversation should be simple; individuals going through a psychotic episode may find communication or speech difficult.  Ask them questions, and if their mind seem to be drifting, try to grab their attention. Make sure to reassure them and let them know that you are there for them. Although you want to avoid blaming or criticizing the psychotic individual, you should also avoid playing into their psychoses. This will only worsen the situation and make the individual’s break with reality more difficult to come back from. However, try not to argue with them or engage in too much discussion with them.   An individual going through a psychotic episode may not realize that what they’re experiencing is unreal or the way they’re acting is abnormal. There's also a small chance that one or more of the things they've noticed are actually real (e.g. they noticed a dog behind a bush that you didn't see), so you don't want to assume right away that something is hallucinated if it's unclear. Instead of saying “Nothing that you’re describing is real; you’re acting crazy and making this up!”, try “I don't see/hear/smell/feel that.” Instead of, “I hear the same voices too,” try saying “I don't hear those voices, but I can tell they are bothering you.” Empathize and validate their feelings. Psychosis can be a frightening and confusing thing to experience. The person may not understand how to handle it. Keep in mind that they can't “snap out of it,” nor is it their fault that this is happening to them. Let the person know that you take them seriously and support them. Here are some examples of helpful things to say:   “I can’t imagine what you are going through, but I’m happy to listen.” “Tell me what you’re experiencing, and I...

TL;DR in English: Hold a calm conversation. Make sure you do not play into the person’s hallucinations. Show understanding. Get them to a doctor. Seek help yourself if you need it.

If you'd rather grill up individual portions to account for particular tastes, want to make grilled tenderloin sandwiches, or you just want to experiment with a few different seasonings, you can remove the tenderloin from the marinade and slice into portions before grilling. Slice 3/4 to an inch thick.  Consider pounding out the steaks to about a half-an-inch, using a meat tenderizer. Place each steak under a clean towel, then use a tenderizing hammer to bang out the steaks and flatten them. In the Midwest, pork tenderloins are pounded out to almost comically-large sizes, roughly the size of a plate. Put together on a bun, the resulting sandwich should resemble nothing so much as the planet Saturn. It's a state fair classic. Cutting into steaks and pounding out the meat should be done after the meat has been marinaded, just before you're about to grill them. Don't try to marinade pounded-out tenderloin. Before grilling, sprinkle your desired seasoning on both sides of the steaks, or simply dress them with a brushing of olive oil, salt, and pepper for a simple and perfect start to a tenderloin sandwich. Lots of flavor comes from searing the meat and creating nice grill marks on the outside of the steaks, then moving the steaks away from direct heat and covering the grill to let them cook for a few more minutes to finish the inside of the meat. Cook for approximately 4 to 6 minutes on each side. If you want to check the temperature, it should be about 155 degrees F (68 degrees C) when it's time to remove the steaks from the grill. After your tenderloins rest for 10-15 minutes, under tin foil, serve them sandwich-style on buns topped with dill pickle, brown mustard, and raw white onion. That's eating.

TL;DR in English: While cool, slice tenderloin into steaks an inch-and-a-half thick. Season both sides of the meat liberally. Sear the pork on each side. Serve grilled tenderloin on a bun, sandwich style.

You can do open or closed fermentation, depending on your preference and the equipment available. For every 5 gallons (19 l) of wort, use 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) (14.3 g) of distiller’s yeast. The amount of wort and yeast, as well as the temperature of the fermenter, will determine how long the wort takes to ferment. It can take from a few days to over a week, though higher heat can shorten the fermentation time. Once the wort is no longer bubbling, it is done fermenting. To remove large, solid particles, the liquid can be strained through cheesecloth or even a clean pillowcase. Secure your cheesecloth to the side of a large, clean bucket with clips or a vice. Carefully pour the fermented wort through the cheesecloth. At this stage in the process, the liquid is now referred to as wash. You can use a copper pot still or a continuous still. A continuous still is favored by modern distillers, while Scottish whiskey is usually made in a copper still. A continuous still, also called a column still, can be run continuously. A pot still, on the other hand, can only be used for small batches.

TL;DR in English: Put the wort in a fermenter and add 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) (14.3 g) of yeast. Let it ferment until it is no longer bubbling. Strain the liquid. Siphon the wash into a still.

A cricket bat has a flat side for striking the ball, and the back has a ridge, or spine, running down the middle. The spine should be facing up. Hold your hands in front of you, palms down. Your fingers on both hands should be grouped together, but for your thumbs, which extend to the sides to form the 'V' shape. The 'V's should be upside down – i.e. open end towards the ground. Maintain this 'V' shape as you reach for the bat. As you grip the handle, keep your two 'V's facing downward (towards the bat handle), so that the inflection point of the 'V's (where the base of your thumb and forefinger meet) on both hands is in line with the spine along the backside of the bat blade.  If you tilt your hands slightly so that the 'V's formed by your thumbs and forefingers are aligned with the part of the bat that lies between the spine and edge of the bat, this will give you more power when cutting or pulling the ball, and by changing the angle of the bat face, help to keep the ball on the ground.  Both the cut and pull are cross-bat shots utilizing a horizontal swing to hit the ball on a trajectory perpendicular to the direction of the bowl. The cut shot uses a shorter swing to hit the ball in the direction the batter is facing (the off side). The pull uses a longer swing to hit the ball to the part of the field behind him as he faces the batter (the leg side). Your dominant (top) hand should be closer to the top of the handle, and your other (bottom) hand should be closer to the bat blade. Putting your hands in the middle of handle gives the best combination of power and control.  A high grip (hands towards the end of the handle) will generate more power.  This is good for playing vertical shots (when the bat is swung upward at the ball on a vertical plane) that drive the ball.  A low grip, or “choking” the bat (hands towards the blade of the bat) will give you more control. This is good for horizontal or cross-bat shots (when the bat is swung horizontally, as in baseball). The closer you place your hands, the more...

TL;DR in English: Lay the bat on the ground. Make a 'V' shape defined by the thumb and forefinger of both hands. Line up your grip with the spine of the bat. Make sure your hands are in the middle of the handle. Keep a distance of about two fingers between your hands. Keep your top hand firm and your bottom hand relaxed. Hit a variety of shots with the orthodox grip.

Purchase a well-draining soil mix and a large pot with holes in the bottom from a plant nursery. Fill the pot with the soil to about halfway full—you will fill it the rest of the way when you plant the onion cutting.  You can also plant your onion bottom outside if your garden has well-draining soil. You can test to see if soil is well-draining by digging a 12 in (30 cm) hole in the soil and filling it with water. If the water drains in 5-15 minutes, the soil is well-draining. When the onion cutting grows white roots from the bottom, position it in the center of the soil. Fill the rest of the pot with soil over the onion until 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) from the top of the pot.  Depending on your preference, you can keep the onion cutting indoors or outdoors in sunny weather. If you plant the whole cut bottom as one piece, you may get more than one new onion but they will likely be crowded together and small.  The number of plants a single onion can grow will vary from 1-6, the onion pictured above can be divided into two.  To get multiple full size new onions from a single onion bottom, use a sharp knife to divide the onion bottom, leaving a portion of the roots on each section, as well as the leaves if it has started sprouting. Watering the onion cutting helps it adapt to its new environment and grow roots faster. Give your onion enough water that the soil is damp to the touch, but not soaking wet. Onions thrive in soil with a high nitrogen content. Spray nitrogen fertilizer directly into the soil and mix it with your hands to give your onion the nutrients it needs to grow.  You can buy nitrogen fertilizer from most garden stores or nurseries. Check the label to determine how much fertilizer to spray into the soil.

Promote your product on social media. Get funding and spread the word using crowd-funding websites. Ask influencers to try and review your product. Contact relevant news outlets about doing a story on your product.

A curious mind seeks to be educated. By asking questions, you can find out a lot of things that many people don't know and won't ever know.  There is no limit to how many questions you can ask, or should ask. Be aware that some people are annoyed by questions. In fact, the less a person knows, and the less patient a person, the more a question will bug that person. That in itself tells you a great deal. Try to expand your mind by learning beyond your comfort zone and seeing how other people think, perceive and understand things.  If you only ever see rom-coms, go and see a documentary or an action film instead. If you only ever read comics, try a novel instead. If you only ever see car rallies, go and see a museum exhibition instead. Curiosity is about pushing yourself beyond what you're used to. There will be times when you feel really uncomfortable, out of your depth and perhaps even upset when trying to learn new things. This can happen especially where you feel dumb, unlearned or when your beliefs and values are challenged. These are the very times when you should keep pushing yourself to learn and to become wiser about whatever it is you've been avoiding.

TL;DR in English: Be curious. Read, watch and see things that you don't know anything about. Challenge yourself.

Wash with lukewarm water twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Wipe gently using your bare hands only until your skin is free of excessive oil. Pat dry with a towel instead of rubbing.  Despite popular belief, acne is not caused by dirt. Scrubbing hard, using hot water, or washing more than twice a day can make your acne worse by irritating your skin. Wash again if you gets uncomfortably sweaty. Sweat may make acne worse. . Many people touch their face without thinking, which can trigger a breakout. Try to keep your hands at your side.  If you have oily hair, wash and condition frequently, and keep it out of your face. The physical irritation of your skin causes the breakout, not bacteria from your fingers. Keeping your hands clean won't solve the problem. Some makeup products help prevent acne, and others encourage it. Because skin is particularly susceptible during pregnancy, cosmetic products that did not bother you before can cause acne now. Stick to makeup labeled "non-comedogenic." This is less likely to clog pores. You may want to talk to your doctor about safe cosmetic use during pregnancy. In the United States, the FDA takes pregnancy into consideration when evaluating cosmetics. Not all countries have this level of protection. Although people often blame acne on diet, the connection is shaky. A healthy diet for you and your baby is much more important than an "acne diet" that might not even work. Notably, some anti-acne diets cut fat (with only slight evidence). This is a bad idea while pregnant. Aim to get roughly 25–35 percent of your calories from fat. Oral zinc supplements seem to help acne, even though zinc lotions probably do not. 15 mg of zinc per day (including from food) is recommended during pregnancy, and may even slightly reduce the risk of complications. Stop taking zinc supplements once you start breastfeeding. These are generally not as effective as medication, but the examples here have no risk of harming the baby. These come in two types:  To exfoliate clogged...

TL;DR in English: Wash the affected area gently. Stop touching your face Reevaluate your makeup. Learn about acne and diet. Take zinc supplements. Make natural skin treatments. Be careful with essential oils.

Suicide is a risk that runs alongside depression at any stage. If your wife talks about suicide, take it seriously. Talk to your wife’s doctor, therapist, family, and anyone who can help.  If the thoughts or talk of suicide are severe, take your wife to the Emergency Department at your local hospital. If you need support or to talk to someone, call the suicide hotline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) in the United States, 1-800-784-2433 (1-800-SUICIDE) in Canada, and 13-11-14 in Australia. For more information, check out How to Recognize the Warning Signs of Suicide and  How to Help Someone Who Is Thinking About Committing Suicide. Cognitive distortions are thoughts that negatively impacts one’s thinking about the world and oneself. They can affect the way your wife sees the world, and may negatively trickle into how she views you or the relationship. Cognitive distortions can lead to irritability and negative perceptions of the self, others, and situations. If you feel much negativity directed your way, remind yourself that your wife is depressed and to not take the words personally. The words and actions may reflect depression and resulting distorted thinking. Instead, practice detached compassion by empathizing and feeling compassion, yet not getting drawn into the thoughts and feelings your wife is drawn toward. For example, if your wife is saying how awful everything is and that no one is helping her around the house, assess whether this is true or a feeling resulting from depression. Empathize with her by saying, “I can see this is upsetting to you and making you angry. I’m wondering what kinds of things we can do to make this easier.” It’s normal to feel responsible for taking care of your spouse and her well-being. Don’t blame yourself for your wife’s depression. Remind yourself that mental illness is real and is nobody’s fault; not your fault nor your wife’s fault. If you feel like you are blamed for the depression, remind yourself that your role is that of a helper, not a healer or preventer. You may...

TL;DR in English: Take suicidal talk seriously. Recognize cognitive distortions. Remember that it’s not your fault. Avoid burnout.

Many phones display an ellipses when you're typing a message. You can download a gif of an ellipses online, usually through an app store. A great way to troll your friends is to text them something exciting and, when they respond, text them a gif of the ellipses indicating you're typing. Leave your friend waiting anxiously to see your response. For example, text your friend something like, "I had the craziest thing happen to me today!" Wait until they respond with "What?" Then, text the "text in progress gif" so they have to sit and wait anxiously for a response that won't come. If you can get ahold of your friend's phone, download the motion fart app and enable it. This is an app that makes farting noises when the phone is moved. Each time your friend goes somewhere with their phone, it will let out an embarrassing fart noise. Make sure the fart app you download is free. You don't want to spend your friend's money just to troll them. If your friend has an iPhone, they may have Siri enabled. Take your friend's phone when they're not looking and press down on the home button to enable Siri. Then, instruct Siri to call your friend by a ridiculous, goofy name from now on. For example, have Siri call your friend by a silly nickname. You can also have Siri call your friend by a long, complicated version of their name. Wait until your friend leaves their phone unattended. Take a screenshot of the home screen. Then, move all the icons to a different screen on their phone. In settings, change their wallpaper to the screenshot you took of their home screen. When your friend tries to click an icon, nothing will happen and they will think their phone screen has been locked.

This is an easy, free way to get the word out about your new product. Use your company’s social media accounts to share the information with you customers. You could even begin grabbing their attention with a teaser post, such as hinting at an exciting new product or promotion. These websites allow you to tell lots of people about your product while also offering customers the opportunity to participate in its creation. If you’re still developing your product, this can be a great way to get support and spread the word about your product at the same time. For example, if you’re working on a new video game, you might create a Kickstarter to share a trailer or demo of gameplay. You could offer to include people’s names in credits or even name a character after them for different levels of financial support. Influencers are well known members of an industry who people trust, such as hairstylists who have a strong social media presence and review hair products. Identify influencers who might be able to spread the word about your product and make an impact on its reception. Contact 2-3 influencers via email to try out your product and review it.  For example, if you’re developing a fitness app, you might ask a popular fitness influencer to try the app and review it for you. Keep in mind that you may have to pay an influencer to review a product. This is part of how they make their money. Depending on the type of product you’re launching, contacting news outlets may also help to get the word out. This can be effective whether you’re a local business hoping to attract the attention of your community for a new product launch, or if you’re an online business hoping to drive traffic to your website. Send an email to any and all news outlets you think might be interested in writing about your product to let them know when it will be launching and what it is.

TL;DR in English:


Say “oui. Politely offer “oui, merci. Reply with “oui, s'il vous plaît.

You can avoid ingrown hairs by regularly exfoliating and moisturizing your skin in the weeks before and after the waxing session.  Use a body scrub, loofah or washcloth to exfoliate your skin, or make your own exfoliating body scrub using sugar or salt.  Follow up with a lightweight moisturizing lotion -- if your skin feels sensitive after the wax, make sure it is color and fragrance free. A good tip to make your waxing session more effective is to sprinkle a little baby powder on your (clean) skin before waxing. The baby powder soaks up any moisture or oil from the surface of your skin and helps the wax to stick to the hairs better. It's important to get the temperature right, as burning yourself with hot wax is no fun at all!  Once you've melted the wax, test the temperature by applying a little to the inside of your wrist. The skin here is very sensitive, so if it feels okay, the wax should be at a safe temperature to apply to the rest of your body. However, it's important that the wax is not too cold either, otherwise it won't spread properly! In order for hair to adhere to the wax and be effectively removed, hair must be at least 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) to 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) in length.  Therefore, you should avoid shaving or using any other hair removal methods in the week or two running up to your waxing session. It may be hard to resist -- but you'll get a much smoother result in the end. You also need to be wary of hair that's too long -- use a safety scissors to trim long hair to about 1/2 on inch in length for more efficient waxing. Waxing the same area twice can be very painful and even damaging to the already-sensitive skin. So if you notice any hairs that you missed,  just use a tweezers to pluck them out instead.

TL;DR in English: Avoid ingrown hairs. Use baby powder. Avoid burning yourself with the wax. Make sure hair is long enough before you attempt to wax it. Don't wax the same area twice.

Facial expressions are a key element of performance, especially if you are a singer or a dancer. Practice an open expression by keeping your eyes wide and open as you perform. Lift your eyebrows slightly when you are hitting a high note or holding a dance movement. Keep your mouth relaxed and open. Use your smile at the end of your performance to show the audience you are happy with your performance, and they should be as well. Remember that you are performing for an audience, who will be watching your every move. Be aware of how you appear when you perform by practicing your performance in front of a mirror. This could be a full length mirror in your bedroom or a mirror in a dance studio or practice space. Avoid the performance jitters by doing a dry run of your performance in front of a receptive, friendly audience of family and friends. Set up a mock stage and a few seats in your living room. Try to pretend you are in the auditorium where you will be perform at the talent show and give it your all. You should feel more comfortable and confident performing in front of friends and family. After you perform for family and friends, you should ask them for feedback and listen patiently to what they have to say. They may give you basic feedback, like project your singing voice more, hold a certain note, or make sure you acknowledge the crowd at the end of your act. Take this feedback and use it to improve your act so it is ready for the real talent show.

TL;DR in English: Use engaging body language. Pay attention to your facial expressions. Practice in front of a mirror. Do a mock performance for a group of family and friends. Receive feedback and improve your act.

Before you can brush your dog's teeth, you'll need to get a specially designed dog toothbrush from your vet or from a trusted pet store. Dog toothbrushes are made using soft materials which are angled to facilitate brushing, making the structure of their teeth easier to get to.  PetroDex, Nylabone and Petco likely have quality toothbrushes for your dog. Please do not use a human toothbrush to brush your dog's teeth as it is irritating to his gums. A variety of toothpaste products that are safe for pets are commonly available in pet stores and through veterinary clinics. Pet toothpastes come in flavors that are appealing for dogs, such as poultry and seafood. Avoid using human toothpastes on your dog as they often contain abrasives and high-foaming detergents that should not be swallowed or inhaled by dogs. You can make your pup homemade toothpaste using bouillon or chicken cubes, baking powder and coconut oil. To make the toothpaste:  Dissolve the chicken cube in a bowl, add some baking soda, cinnamon and solid coconut oil (not melted). The baking soda and cinnamon will act as an abrasive to remove the plaque and tartar from your dog's teeth while coconut oil helps to combine all of the ingredients together. Spread some on your toothbrush for immediate application and keep the rest in a resealable container. It should keep for around a week. Don't allow your dog to eat this toothpaste however, as it may cause adverse effects. Most dogs aren't big fans of having their teeth brushed at first, but hopefully with practice you can make it a reasonably pleasant experience for both of you. Try to choose a time when your dog has had a decent amount of exercise, so he's tired out and more inclined to sit still for the procedure. You may, at least initially, need to give your dog incentive to make him cooperate with you. Train him to associate teeth brushing with rewards, like a treat or play time. Speak pleasantly and soothingly to your dog as you brush his teeth, as this will help to keep him calm.  Don't overdo it...

TL;DR in English: Pick out the right toothbrush for your dog. Choose pet-safe toothpaste. Consider making your own toothpaste. Brush your dog's teeth after he has had a lot of exercise. Speak soothingly while brushing your dog's teeth, and stop if he gets agitated. Consider giving your dog an oral rinse or gel.

Soldering will not succeed if too much heat is lost to the air or work surface, so you will need to find a specialized surface with low heat conduction. A charcoal soldering block may be the best option for soldering silver, as it reflects heat to create the high temperature silver requires. A magnesia soldering block or a kiln brick are other common options, and may last through more soldering projects than charcoal. These can be purchased at craft stores or jewelry supply stores, and are similar in size and shape to an ordinary building brick. Silver solder is an alloy formed from silver and other metals, designed to join with silver but melt at a lower temperature. You may purchase this as a container of pre-cut chips, or purchase it in sheet or wire form and cut off 1/8 inch (3mm) chips with wire cutters. Do not attempt to use lead solder when soldering silver, as it will usually fail to work and is difficult to remove.   Warning: Avoid silver solders containing cadmium, which may cause health problems if fumes are inhaled. If you are filling a crack, you may want to use a lower-purity "easy" silver solder, as it melts at a lower temperature. For joining two pieces together, use "medium" or "hard" silver solder with more silver content, to create a stronger bond. Note that there is no industry-wide definition for these terms; if you are switching brands and want results similar to what you're used to, look at the percentage of silver content instead. Do not use a soldering iron, as these are intended for use with lower temperature lead solder and may ruin precious metals. Purchase a small oxy-acetylene torch instead from the hardware store, preferably with a flat "chisel tip" rather than a pointed one. Silver quickly conducts heat away from the location exposed tot he flame. Because of this, a small torch tip may make the soldering go much more slowly. A "flux" is necessary to clean the silver's surface and assist in heat transfer. It also helps remove oxides on the silver's surface, which would interfere...

TL;DR in English: Find a charcoal soldering block or other appropriate work surface. Purchase silver solder. Use a torch, not a soldering iron. Select a general purpose flux or brazing flux. Use a fan for ventilation if necessary. Find tweezers and copper tongs. Take precautions with goggles and an apron. Set up a container of water. Heat a container of "pickle."

Inviting 30 people over to your house for beer pong is probably a good reason to bring your ancient Roman vase collection to the attic. Anything you don't want touched, messed with, or potentially broken needs to put out of sight. Shut the doors to rooms you don't want entered, lock them, tidy up the bathroom, and get your home in party condition.  You'll probably want to have garbage bags and cleaning supplies at the ready, too, just to make everything easier. Have games and alternative choices of music out just in case the party needs a little revamping. Get a couple of your closest friends together to help prepare your house for the party. This is also a plus for when guests start showing up; it looks like people are already there and in case someone not so well-known shows up early, it'll save you from an awkward situation. Direct each guest as they show up to the designated food, beverage, and entertainment areas. You want them feeling comfortable right off the bat. Mingle and get to know the people you might not know so well. If there's alcohol involved at your party, make sure everyone who wants to drink has a drink in their hand. Turn the music up enough so that you can still comfortably hear one another. Make sure your guests are comfortable with one another by introducing those that aren't known that well to your group of friends. You may also want to start with the party activities and turn the music up louder to enforce a party atmosphere. Monitor the alcohol counter to keep anyone from overdoing it with hard liquor. For groups that don't know each other, you may need to start conversations rolling. That's why you're the host!  If the party starts reaching a lull, feel free to call it a night. Just start cleaning up and telling people thanks for coming and they'll get the hint. If they don't, just tell them the party's over! They don't have to go home, but they can't stay there. Make sure everyone gets home okay. Do they have your number? Are they okay to drive? Does anyone need a ride? If they...

TL;DR in English: Prep your home, if applicable. Get everything set up. Keep your guests happy. Ask others for help cleaning up.

The gamemaster sets up the scene and decides who goes first. If you're playing from a guidebook or manual, this will be predetermined, but if it's a game you devised, they can pick anything. If you go first, think about the setting and devise a move that helps move the story forward. If you're in space, you probably aren't going to meet a pack of wolves, but that might be an appropriate move if you're in medieval England!  Making your first move an attack is a good way to get the action going and get the other players interested. For example, instead of choosing something like “My sorcerer looks up a spell in his book,” try “My sorcerer casts a spell of blindness on your wizard.” Some roleplaying games make you roll a dice to determine the importance of your play. If your game doesn't have dice, be prepared to talk about exactly what effect your play has on the game! In many games, the gamemaster will determine the effects of each play. In others, players react to each other's plays immediately. If you aren't the first, it's easiest to base your move off of what the last player did. For example, if they said that a dragon appeared in the sky, you can say something like “The dragon breathes fire onto the village” or “My hunter shoots three arrows at the dragon.” Depending on your game, either the gamemaster or the next player will determine the results. If you want to move the game in a different direction, you can! Try starting a brand new scenario within your game. For example, if you are currently on a quest to find a treasure, you can have a wizard appear asking your group to save a princess first. Don't start too many subplots--it can make the game too confusing to follow. Part of the fun of roleplaying is telling a continuous story. You don't need to wind up the entire story when game time comes to an end. Be sure to write down the last few moves so you can pick up where you started next time. If you feel like the storyline isn't going anywhere or you'd like to start something new, that's fine too!

TL;DR in English: Wait for the gamemaster to tell you what to do. Make an opening move that advances the story. Roll the dice to determine what happens (optional). React to other players' moves. Start a new scenario. Pause the game when time is up.

Stores vary in how many coupons they will accept and under what circumstances, so you need to know before you go in and spend a lot of time gathering products. Read the store's website and/or ask the store manager what their policies are regarding coupons.   Many stores will accept up to four identical coupons for a single purchase. For instance, if you have four $1 off Colgate coupons, you can use all four and save $4 on a single tube of toothpaste, which essentially will make the tube free. Still other stores, like Target, will allow one manufacturer coupon and one retailer coupon per item. Other stores, however, will only allow one coupon. These stores are not the best for extreme couponing as you only get a great deal if you have a very high value coupon. The best stores for extreme couponing will accept more than one coupon and will also double the value of coupons. This means if the coupon is for $.25 off, they will value it as $ .50 off. If they do double, make sure to find out if there are any limits on doubling, or if they only double on certain days. Since store policies vary, its important to keep a running list of every store you frequent, along with answers to questions about their specific store policies.  Check to see if the stores offer any kind of discounts for seniors, students, or military. Ask if they will price match competitors' ad prices and accept a coupon for the item on top of that. If a store does "BOGO" or buy-one-get-one free sales, ask if you have to buy two products to get the sale price. For instance, some stores will advertise BOGO shredded cheese, but actually you can choose to just buy one bag and get it at 50% off. Other stores require you to buy both bags of cheese to take advantage of the sale. Either policy is good, but the first policy allows you to take advantage of coupons on top of the sale and enjoy a larger percent savings. In order to maximize your savings, you need to combine sales, promotions, and coupons. For instance, if Target is having a special sale of a...

TL;DR in English: Check your local store policies. Know what to ask. Match up your coupons with store circulars. Make your plan. Expect bizarre reactions.
