Your hair follicles need vitamins, nutrients, and proteins to function properly and build strong hairs. These are delivered through the blood stream, and massaging your eyebrows can stimulate circulation, ensuring your cells get the nourishment they need. Gently massage your eyebrows using the tips of your fingers. Make circular motions along the length of your brow bone. Your blood system delivers nutrients to the cells in your hair follicles, but it's up to you to provide your body with those nutrients. A healthy, balanced diet will keep your hair strong, glossy, and can prevent some types of hair loss.  Eat proteins like nuts, chicken, turkey Greek yogurt, and eggs to prevent hair growth from stalling or entering a resting state. Your hair is made from proteins, and can't produce new hair if you aren't providing your body with enough protein.  The B vitamin biotin can be found in eggs, almonds, wheat bran, salmon, and avocados. Biotin enhances hair growth and can also make hair grow faster.  Dark greens like spinach, kale, and chard contain vitamins A and C. Vitamin deficiencies can cause your hair to fall out. If you're feeling impatient, you can use makeup to make your brows look fuller or fill in any bald patches. Use a sharp eyebrow pencil and draw "hairs" with light, feathered strokes. Concentrate on holes and sparse areas. Follow this up with a dusting of brow powder, which clings to your existing hair, and your eyebrows will look fuller.  Never stray too far from your natural eyebrow color. If you are a brunette or a redhead, look for a pencil that is one shade lighter than your hair.  If you are a blonde, look for a pencil that is one shade darker than your hair color.

TL;DR in English: Massage your eyebrows to improve circulation. Eat a protein and vitamin-rich diet to help your hair grow. Fake it by using an eyebrow pencil and powder.

If you don't want to go through an FFL dealer, you can also buy a gun from a private individual. You may find someone with a gun for sale on the internet, through advertisements at a shooting range, or at a gun show. Under Ohio law, any private resident can sell a gun to any other private resident. Private sellers and unlicensed dealers in Ohio aren't required to conduct background checks. However, they must make sure that you're at least 18 (21 if you're buying a handgun) and a resident of Ohio.  If you're not from Ohio, the private seller cannot complete the sale themselves. They can take your money, but they'll have to send the gun to an FFL dealer in your state. Ohio doesn't have any specific laws relating to gun shows. The  rules in effect for a gun show depend on the rules of the organizer of the show and whether you buy from an FFL dealer or a private individual. Because private sales are relatively unregulated, it's up to you to inspect the gun and make sure it's in good working order and seems legitimate. If the serial number has been scratched through, that may be a sign that the gun has been used or transferred illegally. If you're an Ohio resident, once you buy the gun, you're free to take it home. There are no additional requirements for private sales and no record needs to be made of the transaction. You aren't required to register the gun with law enforcement or any other government agency. If you're not an Ohio resident, you and the seller must fill out the Firearm Transaction Report to transfer the gun to an FFL near where you live. That FFL will complete the transfer. If your state has any additional requirements, such as completing a background check, you must fulfill those requirements before taking possession of your gun. The FFL in your state will inform you of those requirements. You can also look them up yourself by doing an online search for "interstate gun transfer" with the name of your state.

The most powerful punches aren't actually the fastest ones. Your arm can move more quickly than the rest of your body, so waiting for your body to catch up to a punch slows the punch down. Even though a powerful punch is a slower one, there will be moments when you have just enough time to execute a slow but extremely forceful punch. It's worth practicing punching at a slower speed so you can feel the full power that comes when you give your body time to get behind your fist.  Try punching at half speed when you're training. Force yourself to slow down and focus on using your leg muscles and torso to maximize your power. Remember where that power came from when you speed things up. While you'd never punch at half speed during a match, you can focus on using your legs and torso to generate as much power as possible. Speed is as important as power, since if you're too slow your opponent will have time to throw a lot more punches. Train with a speed bag and see how fast your arms can fly. Be sure to use the proper form and remember to keep your thumb tucked away from your knuckles as you punch.  The biggest part of the speed bag, the belly, should be hung at the same height as your nose. Hanging it too high will cause you to use improper form when you're training.  Focus on keeping the bag constantly in motion and always under your control. Start slow, alternating punching with your right and left arm. As you gain control, speed up your punching. Doing some amount of strength training is a good way to keep your body in the best shape possible, but strength training alone doesn't make you a stronger or quicker boxer. You need to train your muscles to punch by punching, not lifting weights. That said, it's a good idea to have a strength training routine that strengthens your legs and core for maximum power.  Try  deadlifts to build overall body strength in your legs, torso and arms.   Squats,  push ups, and pull ups are good exercises for building strength that translates well to better punches. The best cardio...

TL;DR in English: Practice punching slow. Practice with a speed bag. Keep your strength training in check. Do cardio exercises. Try isometric training.

Add meat to make it a main dish. Mix in fresh produce for a couscous salad. Grate some cheese if you want a thick, creamy taste. Toss on some toppings for a bit of extra flavor.

Mini orchids have fast-growing roots, and one of the main reasons you need to periodically repot your orchids is to provide the roots with plenty of room. The new pot only needs to be large enough to fit the roots; you do not need to choose a pot that is significantly larger to anticipate further root growth. Media with a base of moss and bark is superior to standard potting soil. For best results, let the drenched media sit for a full 24 hours so that it thoroughly absorbs the water. Snip off green spikes 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) above the top node. Trim yellow or brown spikes 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) above the bottom node. Gently grab the base of the orchid with one hand and the pot with your other. Tip the mini orchid to its side or upside-down, and slowly squeeze or rotate the sides of the pot until the clump of roots comes free. Media breaks down as time passes, and old, decomposed media is more likely to cause your orchid's roots to rot. As a result, you need to remove as much old media as possible. Dead roots with look brown and wilted. Healthy roots, on the other hand, are white or green and relatively firm. You only need a little, since the mini orchid's roots should fill the majority of the container. Hold the orchid up so that the base of the lowest leaf dips below the rim of the pot by 1/2 inch (1.27 centimeters). Press down on the media gently to force it into the bottom and around the sides of the container. Periodically tap the side of the container to help settle it. Continue adding the media until the entire root system is covered, leaving the plant exposed from the bottom leaf up. Lift the plant up by the stem. If the pot starts to slip, you need to add more media to make the orchid more secure. Instead, sit it in a warm location and mist it with a little water each day. The leaves should stay dry at night.

TL;DR in English: Choose a slightly larger container than the one your orchid currently sits in. Look for a growing media that has large particles. Allow the growing media to soak in water. Trim the spikes. Carefully remove the mini orchid from its current container. Brush off any planting media stuck to the roots. Snip away dead roots. Scatter a little of the growing media into the bottom of your new container. Fit the mini orchid into its new container. Slowly pour the growing media around the mini orchid's roots. Check the sturdiness of your re-potted mini orchid. Refrain from watering your freshly potted orchid for the first 10 days.

Couscous isn’t just a side. Add in a sausage like chorizo or sweet Italian sausage, or serve some chicken breasts over a bed of couscous to make it a main dish. The juices from the meat will absorb into the couscous, and the flavors added into the pasta while cooking will complement the meat. If you are a vegetarian, adding a roasted portobello mushroom is a great way to top couscous. You could also skip the meat entirely and add handfuls of fresh veggies. Let your couscous cool for five or ten minutes. Then, add in as much fresh fruits and veggies as you want. Couscous is perfect for a grain salad, and it hold up against both sweet and savory. Bell peppers, cucumber, zucchini, and chopped spinach are all commonly seen in couscous dishes. You could also try produce like:  Apples, which work well in dishes with sausage Dried apricots in Mediterranean or Middle Eastern inspired dishes Strawberries, which pair well with both balsamic vinegar and basil Any grilled vegetables to add a smoky flavor Cherry tomatoes, which can help balance a salty dish Snap peas or celery for a fresh touch Too much cheese can overwhelm the other flavors you put in your couscous, but a little bit can enhance the work you’ve put in. Melt a handful of fresh grated Parmesan to a cup of couscous for a creamy, savory side. You can also add feta to give your couscous a bit of a bite. Add a final dash of flavor to your couscous by finishing it with a savory topping. Pine nuts, dried cherries, dried cranberries, pomegranate seeds, shaved Parmesan or Romano cheese, or sun-dried tomatoes all make excellent toppers. Pick one topping and add a small amount to your dish. These are all powerful flavors, so one serving size should be enough per cup of couscous.

You want a razor that’s comfortable to hold and sharp. There are several different types of razors to choose from.  The straight razor is the sharpest option and usually takes the most time and skill. This razor might not be the best option for shaving with water unless you’ve been using it for a while. The safety razor (or a double-edged razor) is another option if you want a close shave. It’s also usually used with shaving products, but you can use it with water if you know how to use it.  Disposable razors are probably the best option for shaving with water. They’re easy to clean, and you can dispose of the blades (or entire razor) after a few uses. Electric razors can easily be used on dry or watered skin. The trade-off is that you won’t get as close of a shave as you would with any of the other options. If it’s not, unclog the blades by giving it a quick rinse under a running faucet, or wipe it down with a cloth or small brush. If you aren’t sure if your blade is sharp enough, you can test it with a few methods.  Wet your thumbnail and drag it across the edge of the razor, without applying pressure. You should be able to tell how sharp it is by feel. This test isn’t as reliable as some others, but it’s quick.  You can also drag the pad of your thumb across the edge of the blade to test its sharpness. If it’s sharp, you’ll feel a sticking sensation. Be careful not to apply too much pressure or you’ll cut yourself.  Shave a section of your hair to see how many strokes it takes to get a clean shave. It shouldn't take many (1 or 2). You’re dealing with open pores that are vulnerable to bacteria. A clean environment will help avoid bacteria getting into your pores. If you want an especially close shave, exfoliate your skin before shaving. It scrubs off dead skin that clogs your pores and exposes your hair follicles.

You should ideally work on any homework assignment the same day you get it, even if it isn't due until a week later. That way, you'll learn early on if you don't understand it, and you'll have more opportunity to get the help you need before the due date. The same idea also applies to homework due the following day. Working on it during study hall lets you know if you’ll need clarification before you leave school. Working on it earlier in the evening, rather than right before bed, gives you the chance to contact friends, ask an older sibling or parent for help, or email your tutor or teacher. This is good advice for any homework you complete, but it's especially important when working on homework you don't understand. Turn off your phone, sit in a quiet area without noise from a TV or radio, and dedicate your full attention to your homework. The exact location doesn't matter as long as it's relatively free of noise and tempting distractions. You'll need your full concentration when tackling difficult problems. While this won’t be applicable to every homework assignment you get, for math problems and science problems, show your work instead of only showing your answers. You may get partial credit if part of the work is accurate, but even when that isn’t the case, your teacher can still highlight where your process went wrong and provide you with the precise information you’ll need to understand the same type of problem in the future.  That said, you should still keep working at a problem until you think you’ve arrived at the right answer--or, at least, at an answer that could be correct. If you know something went wrong or know which part of the process you don’t understand, you could also consider writing a note for your teacher to that effect. For instance, you might draw an arrow pointing at a formula you don’t know how to use correctly, with a note saying, “I know something went wrong here, but I couldn’t figure out my mistake.” Always work on every piece of homework you get, and turn in every piece of...

This is the person who will roll or throw the dice for himself/herself and the other players to make bets on the outcome of the roll. All players, including the shooter, are playing against the house when they make bets. The stickman (the person who retrieves the dice using a long, curved stick) offers the shooter a selection of (usually) five dice from which two are chosen. In street craps, usually only the two dice necessary are provided. Dice used for casino craps typically feature sharp edges and carefully marked so that each face weighs the same as each of the other faces. The shooter is required to bet on the outcome of the first roll before rolling the dice, while other players are allowed to bet as they see fit from the available betting options, provided they make their initial bets when a betting round starts. Initial bets include the following:  Pass: An even money bet that a “right” or winning number will be rolled before a “wrong” or losing number. A pass bet is placed on the Pass Line when playing at a marked craps table. This is one of the options for the shooter’s required bet. Don’t Pass: An even money bet that a “wrong” or losing number will be rolled before a “right” number. (This is sometimes called “playing the dark side” and considered by some to be in bad taste.) A don’t pass bet is placed on the Don’t Pass line when playing at a marked craps table. This is the other option for the shooter’s required bet. Some casinos also require the other players to make a pass or don’t pass bet before the first roll. Odds (or Free Odds): This is a bet that can supplement a pass, don’t pass, or come bet. It is paid at the actual odds of rolling a given roll instead of whatever odds the house normally offers for one of the other bets. This bet is usually placed adjacent to or overlapping the bet it is supplementing instead of directly on top of it. Laying odds on a pass bet usually involves making a smaller bet to win big, while laying odds on a don’t pass bet usually involves making a larger bet to...

Start with a compliment. Be specific. Be sincere. End with an encouraging statement.

If you’re anxious, you’re more likely to clench your muscles, which will make it difficult to insert a tampon. Try to relax. It is unlikely that you will hurt yourself if you go slowly and gently.  Go slow and pay attention to your body. If you simply cannot insert the tampon, don’t force it. Use a sanitary napkin instead and then try again tomorrow. Don’t beat yourself up; most women take some time to get comfortable with using tampons. Be sure to dry them afterward. After removing the tampon from its packaging, check to ensure that it’s not faulty in any way. Tug the string lightly to make sure it's secure. If you're using a tampon with an applicator, make sure the string is hanging outside the barrel. If you must place the tampon down before inserting it, ensure that you place it on a clean surface. Which position you choose for insertion will depend upon your unique anatomy and personal taste. Many girls sit on the toilet with their legs apart when inserting a tampon. If that feels uncomfortable to you, stand upright and place one foot on a chair or the toilet seat/lid. Another option is to squat. Sitting on the toilet with your legs apart during insertion may be preferable to you in public places. To place one foot up on the toilet may require you to remove your pants completely from one leg in a small stall with a potentially dirty floor. Your labia are the fleshy folds that surround your vaginal opening. Gently spread these with your non-dominant hand, and hold them there as you get the tampon into position at your vaginal opening. Hold the applicator with your thumb and middle finger at the finger grips (the narrow or ridged part of the applicator toward its center). Place your index finger at the end of the applicator — this is the narrower tube from which the tampon string should be sticking out. If you’re using a tampon without an applicator, the insertion process is almost the same, except your finger is the applicator. Hold the tampon with your thumb and middle finger at its base (on the side...

TL;DR in English: Relax and take your time. Wash your hands well. Remove the tampon from its packaging. Pull down your bottoms and get into a comfortable position. Spread your labia apart using your non-dominant hand. Grasp the applicator correctly. Slide the tampon applicator into your vagina aiming toward your tailbone. Use your index finger to push the smaller applicator tube into the larger one. Check to make sure the tampon is in place. Remove the applicator. Wash your hands and clean up.

Begin the conversation by saying something positive to the other person. You want to start this talk on a positive note. It will help keep the other person from becoming defensive. You might say, “It’s great that your sales have increased since last month.” Make sure that your compliment is not vague. That might leave the other person feeling like your feedback isn’t directly applicable to them. Include direct statements about their performance. Tell your son, “Thomas, I am proud of you for using your words to resolve that argument with your sister.” Don’t compliment someone just for the sake of it. You risk coming off as phony and damaging your credibility. Find something that you honestly feel the person did well to talk about. You could say, “John, you’ve worked really hard to make your emails more polite. All of your team members really appreciate it.” You will also wrap up your talk by offering some additional positive words. This is the second piece of bread in the feedback sandwich. This helps ensure that the conversation ends on a positive note.  Try saying, “Amy, you’re off to a great start with this paper. I’m looking forward to helping you develop that thesis statement.” You can also reiterate your first positive statement. For example, “Again, I can really tell that you are making an effort to craft more constructive emails.”

Note your full name, your date of birth, and where you were born. You should also list your email, your artist website or online portfolio, and your contact number.  This information should be listed at the top of your resume, preferably in the header. For example, you may write, “Sadie Lee (b.1987, Canada). sadie_leeart@gmail.com. http://www.sadielee.com. 567.541.2345.” Include any post-secondary schooling you have done in the field of visual art. List the name of the school, the degree received, and the year you graduated.  For example, you may write, “Concordia University, Master of Fine Arts, 2011.”  If you do not have a degree in the visual arts field and are self-taught, you can leave this area blank. Do not list other types of education that do not relate to the artwork you make. Start with your most recent exhibitions. Include the year, the title of the show, in italics, and where it was held, such as a gallery space or a museum.  For example, you may write, “2011, Some Works, The New Gallery, Montreal.” If you have a large number of different exhibitions that you'd like to list, you can also note solo, group, and duo exhibitions. For example, you may write, “2012, Dysphoria, group exhibition, MOCA Toronto.” If you have done any news articles, magazine interviews, or had features in a publication about your work, list them in your resume. Include the author of the piece, the title, and the publication as well as the publication date, the volume, and the page number. For example, you may write, “Coupland, Douglas: “On Dysphoria, World Art Magazine, vol. 3, February 2012, p. 45-50.” Make sure all the awards and grants relate to your artistic practice. Include the year and title of the award or grant.  For example, you may write, “2013, New Artist Award” or “2011, New York Arts Council grant.” You can also note any artist residences you have done, listing the year, name, and location of the residency. For example, you may write,  “2012, Studio residency, The New School, New York.”

TL;DR in English: Write a brief biography with your contact information. Include your art-related education. List your previous art exhibitions, if any. Make a bibliography of press or media about your artwork. List any art-related awards, grants, or residencies.

Before you confront someone, it is important to identify why you are confronting the person and also consider if confrontation is the most effective manner in which to handle the issue. Understand that confrontation isn’t about starting a fight, it’s about addressing and resolving issues that are causing tension. It is important to identify the REAL issue that is inciting this confrontation. People tend to project emotions or moods onto other people or other situations. Before you decide to confront someone, take the time to parse out what the issue is that you want to approach and why you feel like a face-to-face confrontation is the best way to go about resolving this issue. Try to separate your feelings about the issue you want to talk about from other confounding situations or emotions that aren’t relevant to the discussion at hand. When you do finally have your confrontation, the only statements you should make are ones that are directly relevant to the issue that spurred your confrontation.   Separate problems from emotions. For example, are you upset because your coworker forgot to turn in a report and caused you an extra 6 hours of work on a Friday evening? Or are you upset because you got stuck with extra work that you won’t get credit for? Don’t bring up any issues or vendettas from the past. Past actions or feelings that are not directly related to the issue at hand have no place in your confrontation. Don’t start to throw in other frustrations that you’ve kept bottled up. You will want to explain to the person what happened, what you heard, what they did, etc. that you want to talk about. You will also want to explain why you feel the need to talk about it, and how it made you feel. Here is an example of how you may want to frame your confrontation using “I statements”:  “I heard from one of our colleagues that you told our boss I didn’t put in my fair share of work on the project.” (What you heard) “I feel like I worked really hard and I’m really confused as to why you said this.” (Why you want...

Bring your dog to the vet for testing. Allow your vet to do a physical exam and take x-rays of your dog. Discuss treatment options with your vet.

He or she will assess the state of your gums, looking for soft, swollen, or red gums and visible plaque or tarter at the base of your teeth. In addition, your dentist may perform x-rays, in order to assess whether the disease has spread into the bone surrounding the teeth. If you already have gingivitis, the dentist will perform a scaling and polishing treatment. In this procedure, calculus deposits and plaque (tartar) are removed from the surface of the teeth. It is recommended that you visit the dentist every six months for a routine scaling and polishing. Because you are having such extreme symptoms, the hygiene appointment will most likely take more than one appointment.   Scaling: Your dentist uses ultrasonic or manual scalers to remove calculus deposits and plaque from your teeth. These calculus deposits are mineralized and cannot be removed with normal brushing. To tell if you have calculus deposits, run your tongue over the back surface of your teeth — calculus deposits will feel rough. Professional removal of plaque greatly improves periodontal health.   Polishing: After the calculus deposits have been removed the dentist will polish your teeth. To do this, the dentist or dental hygienist will use a polishing paste and a rubber brush. Polishing pastes contain fluoride to help strengthen your teeth and prevent tooth decay, and abrasives like siliceous minerals to keep the surface of your teeth smooth and shiny. The smooth surface finish will prevent bacteria from sticking to your teeth and gums. After your teeth have been cleaned, your dentist may recommend antibiotics if the infection is serious enough. These can be taken via a prescription mouthwash, topical gels, or in pill form. Your dentist will make suggestions for further treatment. If your gingivitis has developed into gum disease, and it has moved deep into your teeth, you may need to consider surgical options. Options include flap surgery, bone grafts, and guided tissue regeneration. Tooth extraction is also a possibility, since gum disease...

Your dog may not show signs of hip dysplasia until he is between four month and one year old. There is a spectrum of symptoms, from no symptoms at all to wobbling, weaving, or an unsteady gait. Your dog may also bunny hop when he runs, or be averse to strenuous exercise or activity. If you suspect your dog might have hip dysplasia, it’s best to bring him to your vet for testing. The earlier you get the diagnosis, the sooner you can treat your dog’s condition and help to manage any pain or discomfort he may be experiencing. Your vet will examine and touch your dog’s hips to feel for any looseness in the joints or any pain reactions from your dog when she flexes or extends his hip joints. X-rays will help your vet confirm your dog has hip dysplasia and determine how serious his condition is. There are several different surgical procedures available to correct your dog’s hip dysplasia. However, the surgery recommended for your dog will depend on his age, weight, and size. Your vet may recommend two different surgical options:  Triple Pelvic Osteotomy, which is used on young puppies. Total Hip Replacement is recommended for dogs with degenerative arthritis or chronic hip dysplasia.

Once you have successfully done this, you will be able to create a username and password and won't have to keep verifying your identity. You are given two chances to successfully pass the identity verification test. If you fail the second time, you will have to complete a D&B Government iUpdate Personal/Business Identification Certification which requires backup documentation and notarization. Once you have passed the identity verification phase you will be able to continue on with the application. You simply have to type in all the required information about your company. It should only take a few minutes if you have the information on hand. When you have filled in the application you just have to wait until your number is assigned.  Grant applicants or government contractors can often get their D-U-N-S number within two business days free of charge.   Other business can get a number for free, but it may take up to 30 days.

Combine the garlic, salt, red wine, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and honey in a large mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients thoroughly until they form a thick liquid.  Mince the garlic cloves by hand with a sharp knife, or use a blender or food processor to grind them into a paste.  If you want to save a little time, throw the liquid ingredients and salt into the blender with the garlic and pulse the mixture until it takes on the desired consistency. Feel free to substitute any of your own favorite marinade recipes. For an average-sized cut of meat, you'll need to make about 1 cup (240 ml). Use the utensil to poke a series of small holes in the thickest part of the meat. Piercing the steak will allow more of the marinade to soak in, flavoring and tenderizing it from the inside out.  This step is especially useful if you don’t have a lot of time to marinate your meat. Poking holes in your steak prior to adding the marinade isn’t strictly necessary. The acidic vinegar will gradually break down the tough meat even if it’s left intact. Place the steak at the bottom of a large mixing bowl or inside a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag. Then, pour in the marinade slowly, making sure it touches every part of the meat. When you’re done, seal the bag or stretch a sheet of plastic wrap over the top of the mixing bowl to cover it. For best results, the steak should be completely submerged. If it's not, try putting it in a slightly smaller container, or throw together enough marinade to make up the difference. in the refrigerator for 4-24 hours. Ideally, it should be left overnight. If that’s not possible, 4-5 hours should be enough time to infuse the meat with mouthwatering flavor, especially if you perforated it. The longer you let it sit, the more flavor it will absorb.  If you’re marinating your meat in a plastic bag, flip the bag over every few hours to ensure that the marinade gets distributed evenly. Avoid letting the steak marinate for more than 24 hours, as this could cause it to become tough or give the outside an...

Consider how you feel around the people in your life before all else. Look for moodiness. Suspect any person who has a temper and uses it often. Think about how this person reacts to being asked normal questions. Listen to how they speak to you. Be wary of any person who seems incapable of understanding or accepting the word "no. Consider what happens when you want to be yourself or do your own thing. Review how this person sees difficult situations, mutual decision-making or issues of responsibility.

Omega-6 is another polyunsaturated fatty acid, found in vegetable oils like corn, cottonseed, soybean, safflower, and sunflower.  Studies indicate that reducing consumption of omega-6 while increasing omega-3 produces health benefits, however.  A 1:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 would be excellent, but even a 2-4:1 ratio is better than the average American's diet. To improve your ratio, eat more fish and less fried fast foods, potato chips, cookies, donuts, etc. Choosing the right kind of fish is the first step.  Preparing it in a way that preserves omega-3 amounts without introducing excessive unhealthy fats or sodium (while also tasting delicious) is an important next step for regular fish consumption.  Bake or grill your fish instead of frying, which adds undesirable omega-6 to your omega-3. To reduce amounts of mercury and other toxins, remove the skin and outer fat of your fish, where such toxins tend to reside in higher concentrations.  If you intend to drain your canned tuna, choose tuna packed in water.  Omega-3 adheres to oils far better than water, so less of it will go down the drain when you empty the can. Maybe you've never been much of a fish person, or maybe you can't get your kids to eat any fish that isn't in the form of a frozen, fried stick.  Get creative and you can slip more omega-3-rich fish into your dinner menu.  Try replacing meat in dishes with fish.  Grilled kebabs, for instance, can easily be switched from beef or chicken to salmon or tuna. Many people recoil at the thought of anchovies, but they are very high in omega-3 and blend easily into many dishes.  Finely chopped anchovies practically melt into sauces, for instance, and impart a savory and umami -- not fishy -- flavor.  Try adding them to your pasta sauce next time. Algae isn't fish, but it is where much of the omega-3 in fish comes from.  Edible algae like seaweed or kelp are high in DHA, one of the component parts of omega-3.  Cut out the middleman every once in a while, or better yet, pair a high omega-3 fish with its...

TL;DR in English: Bring your omega-3 and omega-6 into better balance. Prepare fish wisely. Sneak more fish into your diet. Eat other high omega-3 foods as well. Consider omega-3 supplements.

Do you have any relationships in which you feel suffocated, bossed around, confused or distressed, or just plain fed up with being told what to do a lot of the time (and feeling very guilty that you keep giving in)? Is there someone in your life around whom you feel you have to tiptoe and be super careful to mollify or not anger? Do you know someone who seems to have "buttons" for going off at you at the simplest of things you say or do, often without rhyme or reason? If you feel that any of these situations have a ring of familiarity to them, then you may be dealing with a controlling person.  Controlling people can be male, female, or outside of the gender binary. Controlling relationships can be romantic or platonic. Be just as wary of a jealous friend who hates your significant other as you are of your significant other, especially if your friend is unhappy with their romances. Just because someone has a forceful personality doesn't make them a controlling personality. The test is: Do they allow you to be yourself, or do they unduly influence your behavior?  Distinguish people with strong boundary issues from controlling people by testing their reactions to other topics. If someone always blows up if they're touched without warning but doesn't react in a controlling way if you wear your hair differently or lose weight or gain weight, etc., that is a boundary issue. Other people's personal choices such as changing religion, dieting, grooming or exercise are boundary issues. Even if you think you're right and they're wrong, someone who's sensitive on any of these subjects is holding a boundary when it's about what they do with their life and how they're treated. It's when they start telling you who you are, what to wear, think, feel and do that they're being controlling. Don't feel too bad if you discover that you are sometimes controlling with other people in your life, especially if you grew up with a controlling parent. On a deep level, whatever you grew up with feels "normal" and it takes work to stop...

This is important even if you already have a dog. Certain breeds of dog are trained to be more prey driven than others, which makes these dogs less trustworthy around your flock. Knowing if your dog is prey driven will prepare you for the careful and consistent training dogs of that temperament require. Some of the best dogs for guarding chickens are:  Great Pyrenees Maremma Sheepdog Akbash Kuvasz Komondor Polish Tatra Sheepdog Anatolian Shepherd Kangal It is easiest to train a dog from puppy to adult, but if you think your dog has what it takes, consistent and clear training might be all your dog needs. When training your dog, remember to:  Use succinct commands - repeating a command over and over can teach your dog to ignore you. Reward generously - positive reinforcement, like a treat or verbal praise, can curb aggressive tendencies and instill obedient response.  Train cheerfully - dogs are sensitive to human tone of voice and body language. Your dog is your comrade and a partner with you in the training experience; kind treatment will go a long way toward obedient response. There are many different opinions on the best training method for any dog, but when it comes down to it, every dog is going to be different. Trust your instincts and your knowledge of your animal, but consider using the following tools to assist in training:  Collar Leash Muzzle (optional) Shock collar (optional) Treats (for reward) It can be effective to plan your training to occur prior to meals. This way, your dog will be a little hungrier than normal, which will make him more attentive to the treats you are using as a reward. If your dog ever seems as though he's overheated, tired, or too rambunctious, it's best not to force your training. If you become frustrated during the course of your training session with your dog, don't get angry with or yell at him unnecessarily. Dogs with soft temperaments might become anxious or stop paying attention to trainers who yell without reason. If you are frustrated, simply end your session...

TL;DR in English: Research dog breeds. Get a dog to train, or train your current one. Gather the right tools for the job. Be mindful of puppy psychology. Know the benefits of positive reinforcement training. Be prepared to reinforce chicken related good behavior.

Most commonly, glasses get stuck together when they are stacked immediately after they are washed. Glass expands when heated, and contracts as it cools, and this is sufficient to stick glasses together in some cases. Never fear: you can use this to separate the glasses. You will need to cool the inner glass and heat the outer glass in order to free them from each other. To avoid this problem in the future, be more careful about stacking glasses. Let glasses cool before you stack them. If you wash with cold water, this should not be a problem. If you cannot free the glasses by simply heating the outer glass, try to cool the inner glass. The outer glass will expand, and the inner glass will contract.

A lot of what creates stress about school is whether or not you are sufficiently prepared to arrive on time with everything you need. To get rid of preparedness concerns, do as much as you can on Sunday evening. Taking action will relax you so that you can sleep well and make you feel more confident when Monday comes.  Check to make sure that you have everything you need in your backpack, and pay special attention any completed assignments that need to be turned in. Pack a healthy lunch so that you can grab it quickly in the morning. Set your alarm and make sure that its batteries are fully charged. This way you won't have to worry about whether or not you'll be on time. Pick out your clothes too, so you won't need to make a decision in the morning. If you have friends to talk to on the phone or family members nearby, remember that you can go to them to talk about your concerns. Even if you're not worried about anything in particular, talking can be a great way to release your anxiety. Let someone you trust know how you feel, and take advantage of how relaxing it is to know that you are supported by people who love you and will listen to you. It seems like relaxing should be easy to do, but in truth a lot of the things we do to relax don't work very well, like watching TV or hanging out on the computer. Try out a relaxation technique that will be your go-to when you're worrying a lot about Monday. Techniques like deep breathing, tai chi, and yoga help your mind relax along with your body. Deep breathing, for instance, relaxes an important nerve in your brain that can send a message to the rest of your body to become calm and loose. A soothing bath is a great way to settle down and take your mind off of nervous anticipation for the next day. If you have bath salt or essential oils (like lavender, chamomile, or jasmine), use them to increase the calming effect. Try to let your worries about school fade away as you soak up the warmth. But, if school is still on your mind, use the bath as a place to remind...

Smile and say some caring words or compliments. Make sure that he or she is expecting a hug! It can be awkward if you come up and hug someone out of the blue, especially in the city. Hugs often happen at celebratory events like birthday parties, graduations, or when two people are reunited after a long absence (that may be the right time to give someone a nice hug). Lucky you!  If you are a man, her arms should be around your neck, and you should be embracing her around the waist. Keep her in that position for no more than a couple seconds, and let go as soon as she does.

A marketing case study describes a "success story" between a business and a client. Ideally, the client has recently interacted with your business, and is enthusiastic about contributing a positive message. Choose a client close to your target audience, if possible. Request high-level involvement from the client's side for best results. Even if the client only wants to vet the materials you send them, make sure the person involved is high up in the organization, and knowledgeable about the company–client relationship. A typical marketing case study begins by describing the client's problems and background. It then rapidly moves on to describe how your company strategically approached these problems, and succeeded in fixing them to a high standard. Finish by describing how you can apply similar solutions across the industry. The entire case study should divide into about three to five sections.  Collaboration with the client is especially helpful here, so you make sure to include the points that left the most impact and biggest impression. If your target audience wouldn't immediately identify with your client's problem, start with a more general intro describing that type of problem in the industry. Use bold text and headers to divide the case study into easy-to-read sections. Start each section with short, action sentences and strong verbs. Use numeric examples that demonstrate how effective your solutions were. Make this as clear as possible, using actual numbers instead of (or in addition to) percentages. For example, an HR department could show impressive retention numbers following a process change, while a marketing team could demonstrate past sales boosts from its service. Charts and graphs can be great visual tools, but label these with large letters that make the positive meaning obvious to people who aren't used to reading raw data. You'll definitely want to quote positive recommendations from your client. Often, however, the person writing these will not have a marketing background. Ask the client...

TL;DR in English: Ask permission from a client. Outline the story. Keep the study readable and powerful. Include actual numbers. Solicit quotes or write them yourself. Add images. Spread the word.

As of 2018, the fee to apply for citizenship ranges from 20 to 300 euros, depending on the application. You can pay the fee to the embassy, but you need to submit a copy of the receipt with your application. If your country signed the Hague Convention of 1961, you'll have the document certified by apostille. If not, you'll have it double certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassy or consulate.  Check if your country is part of the Hague Convention at https://www.hcch.net/. Use your local government to certify the document by apostille. For instance, in Oklahoma, you can submit the document through the mail or walk it in. If you submit by mail, you'll need to include a cover letter stating that you need the document for Cyprus. Include a telephone number, email address, and return address. You'll need to pay a fee to get the document authorized this way. You can submit the application to the embassy in your country. If you're living in Cyprus, submit to the Ministry of Interior, Nicoisa. You can do this by mail or in person. If you're becoming a citizen after living in Cyprus for 7 years, the government will run 2 advertisements in the district you live. The advertisements will ask if anyone has reason to object to your citizenship. You will need copies of these advertisements to finish your application. Submit them to the Ministry of the Interior. Once you have completed all the paperwork, wait for the response from the government. It could take up to 3 months so be patient. If the application is taking too long, contact your local embassy or the Ministry of the Interior.

Once planted, apply a layer of black mulch (3 to 6 inches (7.6 to 15.2 cm)) on top of the soil around your tomato plants. You can add mulch to both gardens and pots. The mulch will keep the soil moist, but will also help control weeds and prevent ground rot.  You can use commercial mulch that comes in plastic bags from a garden centre, or you can use straw. When laying the mulch on the ground, keep a 1 in (2.5 cm) space around the stem of your tomato plants to prevent fungal problems. Watering your tomato plants frequently and lightly can cause tomatoes to crack or the blossoms of the plants to rot. It can also allow the development of foliage disease. Soak the soil around your tomato plants every 7 to 10 days instead. When soaking your tomatoes, spray the undersides of the leaves with your hose to remove any initial spider mites that may have started to make a home.  If the soil around your tomato plants is drying out before your next watering day, increase the frequency of the soaking. Tomatoes planted in pots may need to be soaked more frequently, as pots tend to dry out faster. The spray from an outdoor hose is of a high enough pressure to help keep spider mites from being able to make a home on your tomato plants. Spray your tomato plants with a hose, especially on the undersides of the leaves, on a weekly basis. This spray will help keep spider mites away and will also water your tomato plants.  This method can be used on tomatoes planted in a garden and planted in pots. Be careful that the spray of water isn’t too strong that it damages the tomato plants. You may want to use the nozzle and spray upwards on the plants to get the undersides of the leaves. Or, hold the leaves with your hands and turn them over before spraying them. Spider mites hate moist conditions. To help prevent spider mites on your tomato plants, ensure there is always a layer of water in the tray or saucers in which your tomato pots or containers are sitting. This water will keep the soil moist, which in turn, should help keep...

TL;DR in English: Use black mulch to preserve soil moisture for your tomatoes. Soak your tomato plants every 7-10 days to prevent rot. Use a hose to remove spider mites from your plants.

Don't sit around and mope—get out there and have fun. When you are all about another person, you can get locked into a little world with that guy, and your social life can suffer. This is a perfect time to explore the social opportunities you may have let languish. Meet new people, go to parties, organize activities with your friends, join clubs or volunteer organizations. These things will all remind you that you don't need this guy to have a good time, and will put you on the path to meeting someone better in no time. Treat yourself to some new clothes or a makeover. Put on a smile and go out in your best outfit. Your confidence may have taken a knock, particularly if your guy has passed you over for a so-called better offer. Looking fabulous will help you feel better about yourself and remind you what a great catch you are. Your fresh look will attract new suitors and may even make your old flame sit up and take notice of what he's missing now. There's nothing like travel to clear your head and remind you what a big, beautiful world you live in—whether or not any given guy likes you. Go have an adventure someplace exotic, road-trip to visit old friends, or just sun yourself at a resort for a few days. Take lots of photos, so if he does stalk your social media profiles he'll see what a great time you are having.

See your health care provider if you have any of the signs or symptoms listed or are concerned that you might have uterine cancer. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.  It might be a good idea to ask a friend to go with you to your appointment. They can be there for moral support, to help you remember the information the doctor gives you, and to ask questions that you may forget in the moment. Make sure you prepare for your appointment ahead of time by researching your symptoms, keeping track of your symptoms, and writing down any questions you may have. It is important to ask your doctor questions when you consult with him or her about your concerns regarding uterine cancer. Doing research on your own is a great way to find out some preliminary information, but getting information directly from your doctor is more beneficial.  If you often have trouble remembering all of the questions you want to ask, write your questions down ahead of time as you think of them so you’ll be sure to ask all the right things when you’re discussing it with your doctor. You can also take notes during your appointment with the doctor so that you will be able to accurately recall all of the information later. There is also no simple and trustworthy way to test for uterine cancer in women who are symptom-free. The Pap test (also known as Pap smear) does not check for uterine cancer. If you do have signs or symptoms of the cancer, your health care provider may perform one or more of the following tests:  Pelvic exam Transvaginal ultrasound Endometrial biopsy Pap test (to test for other possible causes) Once you have tracked all of your symptoms, discussed your symptoms with your doctor, and undergone any testing your doctor deems necessary, your doctor should be able to give you an accurate diagnosis about whether or not you have uterine cancer.  Keep in mind that your doctor may need to do some tests on your before they can make a definitive decision about your symptoms.

TL;DR in English: Prepare for your appointment. Ask questions. Know what to expect. Get a diagnosis.

A big reason people cheat is that they feel like their partner can't or won't meet their needs, so they look for someone else to do it for them. To head this off from either partner, you need to be open about your needs, including:  How often you'd like to have sex. You comfort level and desire for adventure in your sex life. The breakdown of household and/or child-raising duties. Long-term goals and plans for your life and career. When you discuss your wants and needs, be sure to ask about your partners. This is not a one-time idea, this is the key to all healthy relationships. You must take your partner's thoughts and concerns seriously, and you should always make time to shut up and listen to them. Furthermore, listening isn't a passive effort -- you should be asking follow-up questions if you're confused, nodding along, and following through on any requests or promises. Not all people are good at opening up, especially about sensitive topics. Make things easier by offering your own honest thoughts first, then asking theirs. If you drunkenly kiss a college friend, does your partner want to know about it? Is flirting or buying a drink for someone at a conference over the line, or do you trust each other to limit flirting to harmless banter? Just because this conversation isn't easy to start doesn't mean it isn't important to have, and you'd always rather have this talk before someone has done something they regret. The more openly and often you talk about sex together, the easier and more productive these talks will be. A great relationship is between two individuals, and that individuality is important for feeling free and fulfilled. Tend your own garden while still keeping the relationship alive, because your own personal happiness is the best defense against infidelity.  You should feel comfortable venting or sharing difficult emotions or feelings with your partner instead of balling them up inside. Spending time alone or with other people of either gender is healthy and recommended. Light flirting and...

Look at the meter at the bottom of the torque wrench. Turn the wrench around a nut or bolt and look at the arrow. Put a piece of tape on your desired torque line to read it more easily.

Once you've worked out what some of the problems may be, work together to figure out how you can resolve them. If she's said that she's ignoring you because she feels overwhelmed by how much attention you pay to her, ask her to give you some specific examples of the things that you do that make her feel that way. Perhaps she doesn't like that you call her three times a day: at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Maybe you can agree to a “good morning” text and a short phone call after dinner every day. Sometimes it's better to take a break when emotions are heated, and to return to an argument later, especially if you've already been arguing for several hours. If you find that you're going in circles and solving nothing, it's probably a good time to take a break. Perhaps you can't meet up again for two days, and you would rather get it all sorted now. That desire is totally normal, but it really won't help either of you when you're both too exhausted from arguing to even think clearly. Chances are, if you're worried about your girlfriend ignoring you, you want to keep the relationship. If it's not a problem with your perception and it's not something personal that she's struggling with, and if she's really just ignoring you because she's mad at you, you need to  consider whether you want to be in a relationship with someone who would rather hurt you than tell you why they're upset.

TL;DR in English: Come up with some possible solutions together. Don't force a resolution. Understand that one of the resolutions might be to break up.

There should be a meter at the bottom of the wrench with numbers and an arrow. The numbers represent the amount of torque in either foot-pounds (ft.-lbs.) or Newton meters (Nm). Wherever the arrow is pointed designates the amount of torque that you’re applying to a lug or nut. In the stationary position, the wrench should read 0. As you turn the wrench around a nut or bolt, the arrow will move and represent the amount of torque you’re applying. For example, if you turn the wrench around the nut and it reads 30 lbs.-ft (40.7 Nm), that means you’re applying that level of torque to the nut. Apply force slowly to avoid damaging the bolt.  Read the arrow from directly above so you get an accurate reading. Some dial torque wrenches will have a memory arrow that follows the main arrow and stays at the highest level of torque. This makes it so that even if you disengage the wrench, you’ll know the max torque you were applying to the nut. There are a lot of lines and numbers on a beam or dial torque wrench, so it may be hard to see it without the tape. If your wrench doesn’t have a memory arrow, you can put a piece of tape next to the line of the desired amount of torque. Putting tape near the line will make the wrench easier to read.

Write an engaging first paragraph. Develop your characters. Work in funny anecdotes. Show, don't tell.

Use a light touch when holding or moving your bubbler to avoid an accident. This is especially important for pipes made from materials like glass and ceramic, which have a tendency to scratch and may shatter completely if dropped or mishandled. Repairing or replacing a pipe can be expensive, so the best way to deal with accidents is by preventing them altogether.  Set your pipe on a small pad or coaster when it's not in use so that it doesn't come into contact with hard surfaces. Store your pipe somewhere where it won't be in danger of falling or getting stepped or sat on. Consider investing in a protective sheath or hard-shelled storage case if you smoke frequently or plan on doing any traveling with a breakable pipe. The inside of your pipe is warm and moist, making it an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. Clean and disinfect your pipe regularly to fight off mold growth. Otherwise, you could be looking at slimy, discolored residue, foul odors and a generally unpleasant smoking experience.  Refilling your pipe with fresh water every time you use it will help create a less hospitable environment for bacteria and mold. There's no good way to remove stuck-on mold other than by scrubbing it, which can be tricky if you have a small or oddly-shaped pipe. Over time, ordinary tap water can leave unsightly mineral deposits on the walls of your pipe. These deposits may also contain traces of chemicals like chlorine and fluoride, which you definitely don't want anywhere near your lungs. By using filtered or distilled water, you can eliminate harmful contaminates from your pipe while also enjoying a purer, smoother smoke.  For best results, you should also rinse your pipe with purified water after cleaning. Keep a pitcher of filtered water on hand so that you'll always have a ready supply when it comes time to refill your pipe.

TL;DR in English: Handle your pipe carefully. Keep mold from moving in. Prevent hard water stains.

By the end of the first paragraph, many readers will decide whether to continue reading the story or to give up and set it aside. A strong, engaging beginning is vital, then, if you want your readers to continue through the rest of your story.  A good first paragraph should hook your reader's attention and interest. Don't worry about making the beginning funny; you can always insert humor during the revision process. Focus on engaging the reader by evoking the scene or situation. Try incorporating something unusual, something unexpected, a striking action, or an interesting conflict in the first paragraph. This creates tension and a sense of urgency, and the reader will want to continue. Any story, whether it's fiction or nonfiction, needs well-developed, three-dimensional characters. Don't settle for flat stock characters that everyone has seen before. Give your characters some personality, and if you're writing about real people you know make sure you bring them to life by describing their appearance, mannerisms, and other facets of their personalities.  Always know more about a character than you'll ever actually use in the story. Flesh out the character in your head before you begin writing so that he or she will feel real to you and to the reader. Brainstorm what makes this character unique. Consider what he looks like, his hobbies, temperament, phobias, faults, strengths, secrets, defining moments/memories, etc. Make sure you convey four main characteristics to your readers: a character's appearance, actions, speech, and thoughts. Any other details can support those characteristics, but without those four your character may not come to life for a reader. Anecdotes are short, personal stories that convey something funny or meaningful. An anecdote is the short personal experience you tell your friends about over coffee or cocktails. Some of the best anecdotes are pithy, punchy, and interesting.  Many people find that humorous stories/anecdotes are funnier than an actual joke. Jokes can elicit a laugh, but...

Ketones are measured primarily by people on a ketogenic (keto) diet. They can also be used by diabetic individuals. Ketone strips are readily available at drugstores and large pharmacies. Look in the dietary supply section, or in a section dedicated to diabetic medical equipment. The strips will come in a plastic container or a cardboard box, and should have “Ketone” printed on the side. Ketone strips will also be available in the pharmacy section of most large grocery stores. The strips are also available through major online retailers. Urinate into a disposable plastic cup to collect the urine sample. Then, dip about 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) of the ketone strip into the urine. Be sure to dip in the tip that contains the ketone-sensing chemicals. This end will be slightly thicker than the other. You can purchase disposable plastic cups at any grocery store. Check the dental section or the section containing plastic plates and plastic ware. For most individuals, it's easiest simply to urinate directly onto the strip. Do this over a toilet. After you're finished urinating, hold the ketone strip over the toilet bowl so that the urine doesn't drip on the floor. If you're urinating while seated, try not to dip the ketone strip into the toilet water. This will dilute the urine and ruin the sample.

TL;DR in English: Purchase ketone strips at a local drugstore. Dip the ketone strip into a urine sample. Urinate on the ketone strip if you prefer not to collect a sample.

If you cannot find a lollipop mold, pour 2 cups (250 grams) of powdered sugar onto a baking sheet, then create 10 indentations using the bottom of a spice jar. Alternatively, you can also use a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Pour the water into a small saucepan, then stir in the sugar and corn syrup. Turn the heat up to medium and allow the sugar to dissolve. Make sure that you use light corn syrup, or your candy won't end up clear or take color well. Make sure that the bottom of the thermometer does not touch the bottom of the saucepan. If you don't have a candy thermometer, don't worry; you can still make candy. Turn the heat up to high, and wait for the mixture to come to a boil. Wait until it reaches the hard-crack stage, between 300 and 310°F (149 and 155°C). Do not stir the mixture during this time. If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test whether or not the candy is ready by dropping some of it into a glass of ice water. If the candy turns hard, it's ready. While not necessary, a little bit of extra flavor and color can take your lollipops to the next level. Be careful while doing this, however, as the mixture may splatter.  #* Use clear flavoring extracts and oils. They will allow the color of your candy to show up better. Make sure that you use gel food coloring; liquid food coloring will not mix well into the candy. If you are using a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray, leave about 3 to 4 inches (7.62 to 10.16 centimeters) between each puddle to allow for spreading. If you wish to add some edible flowers, fill the molds half-way first, place the flowers face-down into the melted candy, then fill the molds the rest of the way. Use the tip of a lollipop stick to push the flowers into the molds, if needed. Give the lollipop half a turn after you press it into the candy. Make sure that the sticks go about halfway up the melted candy. If you used powdered sugar molds, your candy will have a frosted look. If you don't want that, run the candy under warm water for a few seconds to...

TL;DR in English: Lightly grease a lollipop mold with cooking spray. Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then continue to cook it until it reaches the "hard-crack" stage. Take the saucepan off the stove, then stir in your flavoring oil and gel food coloring, if desired. Wait for the mixture to stop bubbling, then pour it into your molds using a metal spoon. Insert the lollipop stick. Wait for the candy to harden before you take it out of the mold.

An ultrasound is a painless procedure that uses sound waves to visualize and create pictures of certain parts of the body. This test can only be used to diagnose aortic aneurysms. This procedure uses X-rays to take pictures of the structures in the body. A CT scan is painless and provides more detailed pictures than an ultrasound. It's a good choice if the doctor suspects aneurysm or wants to rule out other possible diseases.  During the procedure, a doctor will inject a dye into your vein that makes the aorta and other arteries visible on the CT-scan. This can be used to perform a diagnosis all types of aneurysms. You can have a CT scan done as part of your routine check-up even if you don't suspect an aneurysm. This is a great way to identify aneurysm as early as possible. This procedure uses magnets and radio waves to visualize organs and other structures in your body. It is also painless, and is useful for detecting, locating, and measuring aneurysms.  Instead of just 2D, it can create 3D cross-sliced images of the blood vessels in your brain. An MRI can be used to diagnose any type of aneurysm. In some cases, MRI and cerebral angiography may be performed together to support each other. With the use of computer-generated radio waves and magnetic fields, an MRI can produce more detailed images of the brain's blood vessels compared to a CT scan. The procedure is safe and painless. Unlike an X-ray, an MRI does not involve any radiation and is safe to be used by people who need to avoid radiation, such as pregnant women. This procedure uses X-rays and special dyes to visualize the interior of your affected artery.  This will show the extent and severity of artery damage – plaque build-up and artery blockage are easily seen with the help of this procedure. Cerebral angiography is only used to detect cerebral aneurysm. This procedure is invasive because it uses a small catheter inserted into the leg and guided through the circulatory system. This procedure will indicate the exact location of the ruptured artery...

A diffuser is an attachment that fits on the end of your blow dryer right where the air comes out. You can purchase them online or at a beauty product store. Most diffusers are wide-mouthed with a bowl or cup at the end where the air gathers. A diffuser is quick way to get a scrunched look with minimal damage to your hair. Diffusers help to evenly disperse the air flow. It’s important to use a low heat setting because it is less likely to cause frizziness. A low setting will also keep your hair from being damaged or burning as you dry it.

Make sure you have a tattoo that you’re comfortable with. If you’re not comfortable with a tattoo, you’re not going to be able to get a tattoo. If you’re not comfortable with a tattoo, you’re not going to be able to get a tattoo.

Organize your ideas. Choose words or images that are parent-friendly. Choose a conservative location for the tattoo.

Your school will likely give you a list of supplies you’ll need for the school year, such as binders, folders, or crayons. If you weren’t given a school supply list, bring a notebook and pencils on the first day so you’re prepared. Don’t forget to pack your lunch along with your school supplies if you won’t be buying it at school. Pick out a back-to-school outfit that you love, and wear comfortable shoes to make your day go easier. Outfit ideas include a dress with sandals, a graphic tee with shorts, or jeans and a nice blouse or button up.  Make sure you stick to your school’s dress code, if necessary. If you have a school uniform, try personalizing your look by adding a watch, necklace, or stylish shoes. If you show up to school feeling tired, you're not going to have the energy to be your absolute best. Aim for a full 8 hours of sleep if you're a teen, and 9-10 hours if you're in elementary school, to be well-rested and ready for the day. Set your alarm clock so that you wake up on time. For example, if you know you need to wake up at 7:00 am, try to be in bed by 10:30 or 11:00 pm. This includes showering before school (or the night before), styling your hair, and brushing your teeth. If you look clean and put-together, you’re more likely to feel confident and excited about the day.  Consider styling your hair with gel, or braiding it to keep it out of your face. Wash your face before school, and apply makeup such as concealer or mascara  if desired. Paint your nails to give yourself some added flair, if allowed. If you’re only in one classroom for the whole day, get to school in the morning a few minutes early so you have time to find out where your class is and what to do with your things. If you go to multiple classrooms throughout the day, try to get to each one on time to make a good impression on your teacher.  If you don’t know your way around the school well yet, plan to get there early to find out where to go. If you're new to the school, see if there's a day before the first day of school when...

TL;DR in English: Bring all the supplies you’ll need for the school day. Choose an outfit that makes you feel confident. Get a full night's rest before the first day of school. Have good hygiene to make yourself look presentable. Get to school early to arrive at your classes on time. Smile often and portray positive body language. Be social by talking to old friends and possible new ones. Start good work habits to prepare you for the year.

Before you begin talking with your parents about a tattoo, jot down your motivation for wanting a tattoo and why you think your parents should allow it. Writing ideas down will help you strengthen your argument. Think about and write ideas including:  How long you’ve wanted a tattoo for. If you present the decision as one you’ve wrestled with for months--i.e. not an impulse--your parents will be more likely to take the choice seriously.  Think of reasons you can justify getting a tattoo. Have you been very responsible the last month (or longer)? Has your behavior been decent and respectable? The content of your potential tattoo could be influential on your parents. If you want positive words like “hope,” “love,” “peace,” as a tattoo, your parents will likely be more supportive of your decision. Likewise, your parents will look on the situation more favorably if you want your tattoo to be a positive image that carries personal meaning. However, if you want to tattoo a rude or profane word on your skin, or you want a negative image tattooed, your parents might count that as a strike against you. Your parents might be more willing to allow you to get a tattoo if the placement of it is relatively unseen (yet not in an incredibly private area). Good locations include: on your shoulder, in between your shoulders, on your back, on the back of your lower legs, on your ankle, or even on the side of your abdominal area.

TL;DR in English:


Apply bleach to the roots again. Rinse. Use a toner.

The most effective water to use for this is soft water. If your tap water is soft, then you can use it to make the soap-based insecticide. Otherwise, use distilled water, which has had the minerals removed. The minerals in hard water can prevent the soap from dissolving, and this will make the spray less effective. Soaps have long been used to control many insects in the garden. The ideal soap is a liquid soap, such as castile soap, like Dr. Bronner’s, liquid hand soap, or liquid dishwashing soap, such as Dawn. Avoid powders, bar soaps, and detergents. Insects that can be controlled with liquid soap include:  Aphids Japanese beetles Spider mites Mealybugs Boxelder bugs Whiteflies Psyllids Cockroaches Young scales Pour the water into a large bowl. Pour in the liquid soap and gently stir the mixture to distribute the soap in the water. Don’t stir too vigorously, or you'll cause the soap to create suds. You want to dissolve the soap in the water. There are different ingredients you can add to your soap-based insecticide to make it more effective for different bugs and problems. Two of the most popular include neem oil and vinegar.  Neem oil is a plant-derived insecticide that’s effective for controlling beetles, cabbage worms, beet armyworms, fungus gnats, and thrips. The oil will also help the soap residue stick to leaves, insects, and eggs. Apple cider vinegar is effective at killing powdery mildew, which is a fungal disease that can affect many plants. Insert a funnel into the mouth of a spray bottle. Pour the soap mixture into the spray bottle and remove the funnel. Screw on the spray lid. This will make the soap mixture easier to apply directly to the insects on your plants. To store leftover insecticide, transfer the mixture to an airtight container and store it at room temperature for up to a year.

TL;DR in English: Choose soft or distilled water. Choose a liquid hand or dish soap. Combine the soap and water. Stir in additional ingredients if desired. Transfer the mixture to a spray bottle.

This step is only necessary if your orange roots are significantly darker than the rest of your hair. With each application of bleach, your hair is lifted three or four shades lighter. If your roots were very dark to begin with and the rest of your hair is very light, you may need to apply bleach for a second time in order to get it light enough. Many websites mistakenly suggest first toning orange hair. Toner will only work for hair that is already the desired lightness, but simply has hints of orange or yellow. It will not fix dark orange hair. After the bleach has been on your roots for the time specified on the packaging, rinse your hair thoroughly. After a second round of bleach, your hair may still be orange, but it should be lighter. If you’re satisfied with the lightness of your roots, you can move on to the next step. If your roots are now a yellow color and the rest of your hair is light blonde, you should be all done bleaching. If your roots are still slightly orange and the rest of your hair is a darker blonde, you’re all set. The trick is to bleach your hair to light yellows in order to achieve light blondes, and darker yellows and oranges are great bases for dark blondes. You can find toner at beauty supply stores. If you aren’t sure which toner you need, you can always ask someone who works there. As stated before, a toner will not magically turn your hair from dark orange to a platinum blonde, because it will not lighten your hair at all. It will, however, remove the orange or yellow notes from hair while keeping it at the same lightness level.

You can find most if not everything you need to start your own miniature succulent garden in the garden department of your local home improvement store. This project requires at least one compact container, a few ounces of natural gardening soil, some small potting stones or pebbles and your choice of succulent plants.  The average price for succulent seedlings, gardening soil, and a basic planter will most likely be between $30-50. With all your supplies in place, you can put together a miniature succulent garden in as little as 15 minutes. When most people think of succulents, cacti are what spring to mind, but there are lots of other varieties to choose from. Some of the most popular if lesser-known succulents include Echeveria, aloe, cotyledon, sempervivum, and agave. Choose plants that you think will be a good fit for the type of garden you have in mind.  It may be worth considering factors other than just looks, as well, like the climate you live in, accessibility to sunshine around your home and how much time you’ll be able to devote to caring for the plants.  Browse the succulent selection at your local greenhouse or plant nursery for even more options. Make sure to consider how large the plants can get before you choose them. The exact size of your succulent garden is up to you, but in order for it to meet the “miniature” description, it should probably be able to fit in something no larger than a household planter. Ceramic bowls and dishes are one more attractive option, or you could keep things simple and go with a basic flower pot.   Think up some clever, unorthodox containers planters for your succulents. Miniature gardens in mason jars or fish bowls will look charming displayed throughout your home, while outdoor arrangements could be created in an unused bird feeder, wheelbarrow or even a pair of rubber gardening boots.  Whatever container you settle on should encourage proper water drainage or evaporation and provide enough space between individual plants so they don’t smother each other. If...

TL;DR in English: Gather your materials. Decide what type of succulents you want to grow. Pick out a container of the right size. Add decorative touches.

Rub Vaseline, petroleum jelly, or another viscous substance onto the lens of the camera to make the picture come out blurry. In a pinch, try using sticky-but-spreadable foodstuffs like butter, jam, and peanut butter. Be careful to coat the entire surface of the lens. Make sure that you aren't caught on camera as you approach the recording device! Be careful not to leave fingerprints on the camera! You may avoid visual detection, but people might still be able to identify you based on the other evidence that you leave behind. Use duct tape, masking tape, or anything opaque. Be sure to cover up the entire recording area! Hide your face to avoid identification as you approach the camera. If you're able to manage it, you can simply block the view of the recording device with a larger object. Try taping or tying a bag or a piece of fabric over the lens. Obstruct the camera's line of sight by putting a screen, a board, or a piece of furniture in the way. You can cover up the camera with a shirt or a scarf, in a pinch. If you leave your clothing on the device, make sure that it cannot be traced back to you.

TL;DR in English:


Ask your teacher about the nature of the exam. Start off with a positive attitude. Use memory games. Test yourself frequently. Take breaks and reward yourself.

Dogs can often regurgitate, raise undigested food with no abdominal effort, without showing signs of other illnesses. If your dog regurgitates, he may just need his food to be raised off the floor so that gravity helps pass the food down into his stomach. However, if your dog forcefully vomits (acute vomiting) the contents of his stomach, this means his muscles are contracting. You'll notice your dog hunched up and the vomit will probably smell foul.  Regurgitation is usually a sign of esophageal issues or other problems in the early stages of the digestive process. For example, often dogs eat too much too quickly. In this case, the food your dog expels will usually be undigested and tubular in shape.  If your dog regularly regurgitates food, he may have a long term medical condition so put his food up on a chair, but also let your vet assess him. Think about your dog's recent diet, behaviour, emotions, and environmental conditions to determine what might be causing your dog's vomiting. For example, think about recent walks and whether your dog may have scavenged a carcass or eaten discarded food. Vomiting can be a common symptom of "garbage gut" where your dog eats things that aren't healthy which causes his body to force out the spoilt food. However, if he keeps vomiting, there may be a more serious cause including:  Bacterial infections in the gastrointestinal tract Intestinal parasites Severe constipation Acute kidney failure Acute liver failure Colitis Parvovirus Gall bladder inflammation Pancreatitis Ingestion of a poisonous substance Heatstroke An infected uterus A reaction to medicine Cancer If your dog vomits once, eats normally and has normal bowel movements, the vomiting was probably an isolated incident. If he vomits more than once throughout the day or if it continues beyond one day, take him to the vet immediately. Continued and repetitive vomiting should be investigated more fully by a vet. Your vet should be able to diagnose the condition by conducting a range of tests, including X-rays,...

TL;DR in English: Distinguish between vomiting and regurgitation to determine proper treatment. Consider the causes of vomiting. Assess whether the vomiting was a one-off or occurred multiple times. Examine the vomit to determine a cause of vomiting.

This will help you direct your studies logically. If it's an essay exam, for example, you may want to write practice essays. If it's multiple choice, you may want to test yourself before the exam. If your teacher has not explained his or her format, it's perfectly acceptable to ask about the format at some point during class. You want to go into studying feeling positive. A good attitude can help you keep up your stamina throughout the studying process. It can also set the tone for a productive studying session.  Think positive. Remind yourself of your skills and abilities. Think of studying as a way to build up your skill set and learn more. Avoid catastrophic thinking when studying. Try not to engage in thoughts such as, "I should have started studying earlier. What's wrong with me?" Instead, think something like, "I wish I started studying a little earlier, but it's okay. I'm still on track to succeed." Do not compare yourself to others when studying. Keep the focus on yourself and your abilities rather than comparing yourself to others in your class. Memory games can be an effective means to memorize difficult information. You can, for example, make up a sentence to help you remember a list or equation. A common memory game is the sentence, "Every Good Boy Deserves Fun." This helps students remember the five notes in treble clef (EGBDF). See if you can come up with similar memory games on your own. This is far more effective than simply re-reading the textbook. As you study, find ways to test yourself on the information. This will help you retain information later in a test setting.  For example, you can write down questions for yourself to answer later. If the teacher offers any practice tests, always take them. You can also use things like flashcards to help you memorize names, dates, and vocabulary. No one can study for hours on end without a break. You will study far more effectively if you give yourself breaks and rewards throughout the studying process.  Take short breaks to do something you enjoy....
