Contact your local animal shelter. Go to a training session. Decide what kind of kittens you want to foster. Bring the kittens home.

If you've fallen for a player it's likely that he's already talked to you and made you feel special. That's what players do, and chances are you are not the only girl he's talking to. A player will try to impress you with his outward appearance, his ego, and his money. Take some time to try and get to know him on a more personal level. Whether you are at a coffee shop or a bar, try sending a drink to his table. Make sure he knows you sent the drink over. The idea is to get him to approach you.  When he walks over to thank you for the drink, use the opportunity to strike up a conversation.  Don't let him make the conversation about sex. Try to talk to him about his friends, or what he likes to do. Pay attention to what he says, and be wary if he starts to lead the conversation in the wrong direction. Rather than asking questions, speak in sentences. Tell him what you should do. Don't ask him if he wants to join you, tell him what you should do together. If you know he is free on a certain night of the week, make a suggestion that the two of you go out. Try telling him something like, "We should go get a bite to eat, or maybe grab a drink." Keep it casual, and take the pressure off the situation. Buy two tickets to a concert or a movie, and mention it when you talk to him. Say something like, "I was supposed to go see this band on Saturday with my friend, but she can't go anymore. You interested?" Be careful taking a player into crowded spaces, especially bars. Just because he came with you doesn't mean he won't be talking to other women. If you're just not up to the task of asking him out, drop a few hints to let him know you'd like to spend more time together. Mention a movie you've been wanting to see, or a club you've been wanting to go to. Don't be too obvious about it. Let him think it was his idea all along.

TL;DR in English: Be on guard. Send him a drink. Be direct. Lure him in using an extra ticket. Make him ask you out.

Almost all shelters provide fostering opportunities for members of the community and would really appreciate your help. Before you can foster, however, you need to get approved by the shelter and fill out all the necessary paperwork.  The best time to find a fostering opportunity is spring (otherwise known as kitten season). This is the time when most kittens are born and end up homeless at the animal shelter. During this time, the shelters are often overcrowded with newborn kittens, and could use your help. Most shelters will want verification that you are at least 18 years old, have space for a kitten, that you are allowed to have a kitten (if you rent your home), and that you can pass a criminal background check. You may need to go to a training session where shelter staff will explain in depth how to take care of the kittens. This training is especially important if you are going to foster any kittens with special needs, such as a kitten that is ill or needs rehabilitation from an injury. Once you have been approved to foster and you have done your training, it may take a while before you get your first kittens to foster. It all depends on what the needs of the shelter or rescue are at the time. Ask the shelter what kind of kittens they have available. There are two different kinds of foster kittens: kittens with a mother cat and orphaned kittens. Caring for young orphaned kittens less than three weeks of age can be very demanding, as you are providing for all of their needs. Kittens with a mother are much easier to care for.  If you foster a kitten that has a mother you will also be taking in the mother cat. The mother cat will do almost all of the work, including nursing, cleaning, keeping the kitten warm, feeding, and stimulating the kittens' bowels. If you are fostering for the first time, you will probably want to ask the shelter for kittens that have a mother. Without the mother, kittens face a far higher risk of becoming ill and dying. Make sure you bring a pet carrier or get one at the shelter, as...

Fold the napkin in half into a rectangle and lay it down so it faces you widthwise (with one of the shorter edges nearest you). Fold up the bottom inch of fabric. Then, fold that one-inch fold back underneath itself. Continue folding the serviette back and forth on itself in an accordion style. Leave three to four inches unfolded when you get to the top.  Turn the napkin over and fold it in half lengthwise. Take the two open corners from the unfolded napkin and fold them diagonally to the accordion folds. Tuck the corners into the pocket between the two layers of accordion folds. Pick up the napkin by holding the open ends of the folds together and place the other end on the table. Spread open the accordion folds to create the fan. Fold the serviette in half twice to create a smaller square. Position it in a diamond orientation with the open corners at the tip of the diamond (and the folds nearest you). Fold the top layer down in half, bringing the top tip down to match the bottom tip.  Fold the next two layers down in a staggered fashion like you did with the diamond fold. Leave the last layer unfolded. Fold the sides of the diamond in to the center. Flip the serviette over. Place utensils in the pouch. Fold the serviette in half diagonally and point the open tip toward you. Fold the tip over so it overhangs the original fold by an inch (like with the rose).

Learning how to create a clean vibrato with all 4 fingers will take some time – particularly with the weaker pinky finger. Your second or third finger is typically the best finger to start with when you're learning vibrato. Some accomplished violinists aren't able to create a strong vibrato with their pinky finger – so don't worry if you can't do it with all 4 fingers right away. Although it's less common for a skilled violinist to have trouble with the first finger, there are some who still have difficulty.

In most areas, you need a business license with a valid tax ID before you can buy wholesale products. To apply for a license, speak to your government’s licensing board. You will need to fill out an application explaining your business, such as what you are buying and your plans to resell the items to other customers.  You can usually apply through your government’s website. Organizations such as the Small Business Administration in the U.S. can help you with this.  For tax purposes, get a federal employee ID number. You can do this by registering your business with your government’s tax department. For example, visit the IRS’ website, if you’re in the U.S., and fill out a form describing what your business does. If you purchase wholesale products for yourself, you don’t need a license. You may also be fine without a license if you don’t buy a lot of products or sell them often. Visit your government’s licensing board or their website to begin your application. You will need to supply your business license, tax ID, and a description of your business. With a resale certificate, you can avoid paying for sales taxes. All you have to do is show the certificate to the seller.  Without a certificate, you pay the sales tax when you purchase wholesale items. If you have a license, your customer has to pay the sales tax when they buy the item(s) from you. Like with business licenses, you do not need a resale certificate unless you plan on reselling wholesale items. If you do plan on running a business, having a certificate saves you money. Purchasing wholesale goods can take up a lot of space. If you plan on reselling merchandise and make frequent purchases, you may soon end up finding yourself overwhelmed. Clear out some space in your home, such as in your basement or attic, so that you can keep the items.  Some of your items may not sell right away. Count on having enough space to store items for a several months at a time. Many professional resellers rent out storage warehouses. Look for some empty storage...

TL;DR in English: Get a business license if you plan on reselling wholesale items. Apply for a resale certificate with your government to avoid taxes. Find a place to store what you buy. Start off with sample units until you want to buy more of a product. Order items in higher quantities to save money. Request an itemized list of what's on the pallet or truckload.

Spinach is extremely cold-hardy and fares well in these mild to cold climate zones. This cold-weather crop prefers temperatures between 35 and 75℉ (1 and 23°C). Savoyed varieties are characterized by their dark green crinkly leaves. They are best for planting in the fall because they become especially crisp in cold weather. Smooth-leafed spinach grows upright and produces leaves lighter in color than those produced by savoy spinach. It grows quickly and easily and is the perfect addition to any summer salad.

Since you are drawing a cartoon girl, keep the face narrow and feminine During this phase, keep in mind the proportions of a face. For example, a face is generally five eyes wide. That being said, you can also manipulate proportions to reflect the girl's character traits. If the character is innocent, this can be reflected in giving her large eyes. Clothes are another opportunity to show character traits, occupation, and time period. For example, an edgy, 21st-century  teen isn't going to wear the attire of a 15th-century monk.  To trace the outline make sure to use a pen that will not smear while the sketch is being erased or the drawing colored.  Keep in mind, there is more visual interest if colored  Try to limit your color pallet in order to not give the viewer a headache. If there are too many highly saturated colors, the viewer will not know where to look and may think your art is tacky.

Compare prices. Compare warranties. Purchase the best bow you can afford.

Synthetic fabrics such as polyester, lycra, and spandex can look tacky and unnatural. Opt instead for high quality fabrics, like silk, wool, or cotton. Good quality fabrics may cost more, but they will usually last longer and make a better investment overall.  Read the care labels on an article of clothing before buying it to see what you will have to do to take care of it. If you can't invest in regular dry cleaning, be sure to forgo items that say "dry clean only" on the tag. Hand wash and air dry delicate materials like wool, which may sustain damage in the washer and shrink in the dryer. Flashy, bright colors may be bold, but they do not convey a classy image. Go for classic, neutral colors like black, white, beige, or navy blue. Sticking with these colors will make it easy to mix and match your clothing without the risk of looking gaudy. Clothing that is form-fitting without being tight will fit your body best and make you look put-together. Your sweaters, blazers, shirts, and blouses should follow the curve of your waist, while pants should fall about .5 inches (1.3 cm) off the ground at the back. Bring your clothing to a tailor to have the necessary adjustments made. Most alterations will cost between $10-15. Wrinkles will make you look unkempt and work against your classic look. Always take the time to make sure your clothes are wrinkle-free before going out. Carefully use a steamer or clothes iron to remove wrinkles. Aim for subtle, classic jewelry like small silver or gold hoop earrings, a pearl necklace, pearl or diamond stud earrings, a delicate pendant necklace, a tennis bracelet, or an elegant watch. Avoid wearing too many rings, and only wear them on your middle or ring fingers. Dress up your classic wardrobe with one standout accessory, such as a colorful silk scarf or a beautiful pair of shoes. Stylish well-made shoes in neutral colors are a great investment as they will go with a variety of different outfits. You can also spice up your shoe collection with one or two pairs of "fun" shoes,...

TL;DR in English: Go for high quality fabrics. Choose neutral colors. Wear tailored clothing. Steam or iron your clothing. Wear minimal accessories.

Check the prices of the different bows you've tested. Remember that the highest-priced bow is not necessarily the best one.  A fiberglass bow should cost about $20 to $50.  A Brazilwood bow should cost between $50 and $200.  A pernambuco bow could cost between several hundred and several thousand dollars, with antique French bows at the high end of the range.  A carbon fiber bow should cost about $300. A new violin bow will often come with a warranty covering defects or other problems. These warranties usually will not cover replacement of the hair.  If you are buying a bow brand new, consider your warranty options. Bows are expensive and you don't want to have to pay to replace yours if it turns out to be defective in some way. Used and vintage bows will probably not have a warranty. Taking into account quality, cost, and warranty, select the best bow you can afford. Take it home and start playing! If you are still uncertain about which bow to buy, some stores will allow you to take a bow home and try it for a few days.

Put down your first sheet of plywood at the corner of one end of the roof. Make sure it’s lying horizontally across the exposed rafters, and that the edges are flush with the edges of the end rafters. Drive a nail into each corner of the plywood to hold it in place temporarily.  Most constructions experts recommend using 7⁄16 in (1.1 cm) oriented strand board (OSB) for small-scale roofing projects.  Plywood sheathing will provide structural support for your new roof, as well as give you a flat, stable surface to attach your other roofing materials too. to fill in any gaps in the sheathing. Plywood is sold in large sheets, which means that you’ll most likely need to use multiple sheets and cut them to fit. Try to cover the remaining space using as few pieces as possible, starting from the lower portion of the roof.  It’s important to cut your plywood so that the end of each section covers half the width of the rafter it’s resting on. That way, the neighboring section will fit in easily beside it, and you’ll have a nice solid surface to nail into.  Make all your cuts with your plywood oriented the same way to ensure that the strand grain is running in a single direction. A consistent grain pattern will increase the strength of your roof sheathing. Drive nails every 6 inches (15 cm) through the face of the plywood and down into the rafter below. Work your way up the length of each rafter from the bottom edge. When you’re done, look for any loose sections of plywood that may require additional nails.  For the sake of caution, do your fastening from your ladder, reaching as far as you can safely with your hammer or roofing nailer. The combined strength of the OSB and supporting rafters will be capable of withstanding weights of up to several hundred pounds. Once you have the sheathing in place, your final task will be to mount fascia boards to cover the exposed ends of your rafters. Cut your 2 in (5.1 cm) x 4 in (10 cm) or 2 in (5.1 cm) x 6 in (15 cm) to match the length of the shed. Fasten the fascia boards by...

Push in the oven knob with one hand so you can turn it and keep holding it until you have lit the pilot light. Turn it to the left to the “ignite” symbol or the first temperature setting. Every oven model is different, but there should be either a little picture of a flame or the start of the temperature numbers right in the middle of the dial on the left hand side. This is where you want to turn the knob. Light a long match with your hand that isn’t holding the oven knob, or use a lighter with a long tip (like a BBQ lighter). Slowly move the flame towards the pilot light hole until it lights. If you only have small matches, you can light one and drop it into the hole to be safe. Another alternative is lighting a twisted up piece of paper or a wooden skewer to use as the lighter. You need to let the pilot light heat up for about 10 seconds before you adjust the temperature. The pilot light will just go out if you try to change the oven’s temperature too soon. If you accidentally let go of the knob and the pilot light goes out, then you should turn everything off and start from the beginning. Shut the oven once you are sure the pilot light is staying lit. Turn the oven knob to the temperature you want to set it at. If you have tried this process several times, and still can’t light your gas oven, there may be a problem with the pilot light and you should call a professional to come take a look at it.

Every player rolls two dice to start.  The player who rolls the highest number gets to select his or her color and take the first turn. There are four colors included with the Base Catan 3-4 player set: red, blue, white, and orange.  After the player with the highest dice roll has chosen his or her color, have everyone else choose and then begin the turns. Turns progress in a clockwise manner. The first player places one of his settlements at an intersection, where three terrain hexes meet, the adjoining hexes are the resources he will earn if the number on that hex is rolled (so choose wisely!). Next, he places one of his roads on one of the three possible places next to his first settlement. The next player then takes her turn in the same way, but must place her settlement in a different area.  Roads must always be placed where two hexes meet and border the player's settlement. A settlement cannot be placed on an intersection adjacent to another intersection occupied by a settlement. There must be enough space for at least two roads between each settlement. The last player gets to place two settlements and two roads (one for each settlement) and then going counter-clockwise, the first players place their second settlement and second road until each player has two settlements and two roads down on the board. After all players have placed both of their settlements and roads, you all get some resource cards to start. Take one resource card for each hex tile that is adjacent to each of your two settlements. For example, if one of your settlements is bordering a wheat, lumber, and sheep tile, then you get to take one wheat, one lumber and one sheep card. Do the same for your other settlement.

TL;DR in English: Determine the turn order. Place the first settlements. Place the final settlements. Get your first resource cards.

A missed period is usually the first sign of pregnancy. You should track your menstrual cycle to know roughly when to expect your monthly period. If you do not experience your period within this time frame, this can be an early sign you're pregnant. About a quarter of pregnant women experience nausea as the first sign of pregnancy. You may feel sick to your stomach at certain times of the day. Strange smells may easily trigger feelings of nausea and sickness. Implantation bleeding sometimes occurs just after pregnancy, possibly due to a sperm attaching to an egg. Some women may mistake this for a very light period, but it can be a sign of pregnancy if you are also experiencing other symptoms.  Implantation bleeding or spotting is much lighter than your regular period. You may only notice it when you wipe. The color also may differ from a regular period. It may be more pink or brown-colored than usual. Pregnancy can cause unexpected physical discomfort. Usually, this takes the form of mild uterine cramping as well as tender, sore breasts. Like many symptoms of pregnancy, these are often similar to pains you may experience just before your period. During pregnancy, your kidneys produce extra fluid due to increased levels of blood in your body. Many women notice increased urination during pregnancy. If you find yourself using the bathroom more often, this could be an early sign that you are pregnant. Just after you become pregnant, it's normal for your body to produce up to 25% more urine. The increase in urine will peak at 10-15 weeks of pregnancy. After that, you'll likely feel increased urges to urinate, as the additional weight of your uterus and growing baby press down on your bladder. Breast tissue is very sensitive to your hormones, so your breasts will show signs of pregnancy early. You may start to experience tender, swollen breasts as early as 2 weeks after conception. It's normal to feel a tingly sensation and soreness. Your breasts may also start to fill full and heavy.

Get yourself to safety. Check yourself and others for injuries. Remain calm. Report the accident to local law enforcement. Do not leave the scene. Take photos of the scene. Obtain information from any witnesses who are willing to provide it.

Using wood glue, you can add anything your heart desires. For a rustic look, you can add little twigs, pebbles, twine, fake leaves, and anything else you can think of. For a flashier look, try gems or other sparkly objects. A fully painted pot looks great, but leaving portions of unpainted terracotta showing through can provide a neat contrast. It will be recognizable as an ordinary, every day terracotta planter, but with a little extra pizzazz. This looks great when the pot is positioned with unpainted terracotta pots, as it ties the arrangement together. You can use duct tape to create bold, straight-edged designs, and you can also free hand with your paint to create gentle, flowing patterns. You can create a one-of-a-kind pot by using both kinds of designs on one pot!

TL;DR in English: Use adhesive to add some 3D decoration to your pot. Leave sections unpainted for contrast. Try geometric designs, organic patterns, and even try combining the two.

The first thing you should do after an accident is remove yourself from harm's way by getting off the roadway and out of traffic. Distance yourself from anything that may cause you additional harm, such as:  A vehicle that is leaking gasoline. A vehicle or structure that is on fire. Damaged structures that could collapse. Roadside cliffs or drop-offs. Call 9-1-1 immediately if you or anyone else involved in the accident is hurt. Very few motorcyclists walk away from accidents without some kind of injury, and some of the most serious injuries are not readily identifiable. As such, you should seek medical attention even if you believe you are not hurt.  Although less common than injuries to the lower and upper extremities, injuries to the chest and abdomen from motorcycle crashes tend to be more serious. This is due to the potential for organ damage and/or internal bleeding from blunt-force impact to the midsection. Lower extremity injuries are the most common type of motorcycle crash-related injury. These often involve bone fractures and are usually not fatal if dealt with properly by medical professionals. Although it may be difficult to maintain a calm demeanor when you have just been involved in a motorcycle accident, it is important that you do not do or say anything that could make the situation worse in any way or indicate culpability. For example, do not:  Argue with other parties involved in the accident. Assign blame for the accident. Physically engage others in a hostile manner. Intentionally inflict additional damage to property. This is only necessary if emergency services (9-1-1) were not contacted. Except in very minor incidents (such as those that result in no injuries and minimal property damage), law enforcement may be needed involved in order to:  Control traffic. Record details of the accident. Determine whether immediate legal action is required. It is important that you remain at the site of the accident long enough to exchange relevant information with all parties involved and/or law...

Begin the personal narrative by drawing the reader in with a strong opening sentence. Use rich description and detail in the opening. Start in action so the reader is grabbed right away and keeps reading. For example, the first line in the personal narrative by Tony Gervino is attention grabbing: “I was 6 when my brother John leaned across the kitchen table and casually whispered that he had killed Santa Claus.” Ground the reader in the story by providing information on the main characters and the central conflict or theme. Tell the reader where the narrative is taking place and when it is taking place. Explain whether the story is about you and/or you and your relationship with someone else in your life. For example, in Tony Gervino’s essay, he sets the scene by providing setting, character, and narrative voice: “It was July 1973, we were living in Scarsdale, N.Y., and he was four years older than I was, although that seemed like decades.” Do not jump to different moments in time or move from a past event to a present event and then back again in the same paragraph. Go chronologically from event to event or moment to moment. This will make it easier for the reader to follow along with the narrative. For example, you may start with an event in childhood with your older sister and then move forward in time to the present day, focusing on you and your older sister as adults. Focus on how things smelled, sounded, tasted, felt, and looked in the scene. Paint a vivid picture for the reader so they feel immersed in the narrative. Try to describe moments in the narrative based on the speaker’s perspective. For example, you may describe the feeling of your mother’s famous lemon cake as “rich and zesty, with a special ingredient that to this day, I cannot identify.” Most personal narratives end with a reflection or analysis of the events. You may come up with a moral that you share with the reader based on your own experiences. Or you may leave the reader with a takeaway thought that illustrates what you learned from...

There are several cost-effective choices for neutralizing chlorine bleach (commonly sold under the brand name Clorox), which is the kind used in washing and for decorating or changing the color of fabric products. It also contains sodium hydroxide (lye) to stabilize the hypochlorite.  The lye is difficult to rinse out completely and will slowly destroy cotton. To fully neutralize the lingering effects of chlorine bleach the hypochlorite and the lye must be neutralized, too. If you’re using bleach for decorative effects on cotton, denim, or other natural fabrics, you can try one of these options:  Bisulfite/metabisulfite is very inexpensive. It is sold under the brand name Anti-Chlor, and you only need to use a small amount to neutralize bleach. You can usually find bisulfite at dye suppliers or you can get Camden Tablets (which have the same ingredient) from a wine brewing supply company.  Thiosulfate, which is called Bleach Stop, can typically be found at a local photography supply store, as it is commonly used in developing photographs. This is a more expensive option than bisulfite, and it’s not as strong so you’ll need to use more.  Vitamin C/Ascorbic acid: Ascorbic acid neutralizes both the hypochlorite and the lye.  You will find it in most food stores or pharmacies under its common name, vitamin C.  Yes,  get the cheapest vitamin C you can find and grind the tablets up into powder to dissolve in your rinse water. Hydrogen peroxide is the most easily obtainable of the neutralizers; you can find it at drugstores and grocery stores. This is an inexpensive choice, and it works well for people with asthma, who may be sensitive to the other compounds, which contain sulfur. Opt for the 3% solution. The amount of neutralizing agent required will depend on which one you’ve chosen.  Anti-Chlor: use 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) per 4 cups (950 mL) of water.  Bleach Stop: 1 ounce by weight (30 grams) per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water.  Vitamin C/Ascorbic acid: Crush up 4-6 tablets and add the powder to enough water to submerge...

If you are splitting normal-sized wood, unless it is unnaturally knotty or a kind of wood resistant to chopping (like elm), you likely won't need to use a wedge. If the wood is tough and several axe swings leave cuts, cracks, but no clean split, it's time for you to get some more tools. When an axe alone simply can't do the job, it's time for you to get a long metal wedge and a sledgehammer. You can purchase these from your local hardware store or perhaps even borrow these from a neighbor. Even if your axe didn't pass all the way through your piece of wood, chopping it cleanly, if you landed a few hits, there will probably be at least some deep cuts in the wood, or maybe even a crack. Look for the deepest cut or crack in your wood; this is where you will split the wood. Some especially large or difficult pieces of wood may require more than one wedge. As the wood will be softer than your wedge, you probably won't have a problem jamming the wedge into the cut or crack that you've chosen for your split. If you're attempting to cut an especially hard kind of wood, you may need to tap your wedge into place with your sledgehammer. Using the same form as you did with your axe, keep your legs shoulder-width apart, your dominant hand close to the head of the sledgehammer, your eye focused on the wedge, and bring the hammer into position above your shoulder. Allow your dominant hand to slide down the handle of your hammer toward your stationary non-dominant hand, and bring the hammer quickly and firmly down on the wedge.  This should drive the wedge more deeply into the piece of wood, causing the cut to turn into a crack or the crack that was already there to deepen. You may need to swing your hammer multiple times to drive the wedge deeper into the wood. Sometimes, the wedge will cause the knot to break apart in a clean split, other times you may have to apply some muscle to pull the mostly split piece apart. In some cases, you may need to use your axe to carefully sever any connecting pieces that remain.

Look at the offices you can hold in your county, city, or town so you know what your options are. Pick an office that you’re passionate about with duties that you’re able to manage easily. Some common local positions include mayor, treasurer, city council, and school board president. Check the duties of the positions you’re interested in to see if they’re something you want to do.  For example, if you’ve previously worked in finance, you may run for treasurer. If you have a law background, you might choose to run for city counselor or law director. Each city or county may have different positions and duties. Be sure to check your local elections office or website to see specific information for your area. Make sure to determine whether the position you're running for is partisan or non-partisan. If you want a partisan position, you may need to affiliate with a political party or run as an independent. Think of 1-2 sentences about why you want to run for local office. Incorporate what values you hold or things you want to change for the better. When other people ask you why you want to run, be consistent with your message so you aren’t telling others different things.  For example, if you want to run for the school board, your message may be, “To help children learn through the most effective practices.” Take firm stances on what you want to accomplish or else you might not be taken as seriously. Each position has different qualifications, but many require you to be a certain age and to have lived in the area you’re running for a specific amount of time. Visit your local elections office or their website confirm that you qualify for the position you're running for. The full list of requirements for running in your area may be posted online on your local election office’s website. Some offices require you to get support from local voters in order to run in a local election. Look at the requirements from your local election office to see what forms and petitions you need to provide. If a petition is required,...

TL;DR in English: Choose the local office you want to run for. Develop a simple message that describes why you want to run. Confirm that you meet all requirements necessary to run in a local election. Investigate whether you need a petition with voter signatures to become a candidate. Fill out the application for candidacy for your local offices.

This should only take 15 to 30 seconds if you are using a high speed setting. If the root beer freeze is not mixing evenly, pause the blender, and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the inside walls. You can get as fancy as you'd like here. For the ultimate treat, add a swirl of whipped cream onto each freeze. Top it off with a drizzle of chocolate sauce, a dash of sprinkles, and a maraschino cherry. Serve the root beer freeze immediately with straws and long, slender spoons.

You'll want to plant seeds about ¼ inch (.64 cm) deep and bury clippings ½ inch (1.3 cm) deep. You should be patient while awaiting your plants to emerge from the ground since seeds often sprout slowly, though indoor planting may see seeds sprout in less time.  You should avoid attempting to use seeds that have been stored long periods of time. As time passes, the chance the seeds will grow decreases.  Strip cuttings of their leaves on the end being planted. Plants usually take 5 to 10 days to sprout from the ground. However, your oregano may take more or less time depending on factors like soil quality, sunlight, and frequency of watering. During the first few months of growth, water your plants regularly to get them started. Once they are established, you can reduce the amount of water. Check whether your plant needs water or not by touching the soil around it. If it feels dry, you should thoroughly water the area. Plants in containers should be treated similarly to outdoor grown oregano. However, when watering, you should douse the plant until you notice water dripping from the drainage holes in the bottom of the container. By trimming or pinching the leaves and ends of your plant, you can encourage the growth of denser leaves. Wait until the plant is about 4 in (10.2 cm) tall, and use a pair of shears or scissors to lightly thin the outer growth.  Trimming also helps prevent excessive stem growth in your plant. This condition, called legginess, will reduce the yield of your crop. Where you trim your plant, you should notice it branch at that point when it continues growing. In turn, these branches will bear more leaves, meaning more oregano for you.  As you trim, you can use the fresh oregano in a recipe, or dry it to use later on. Sick or thin plants can crowd better ones and steal resources, negatively impacting the potential of the healthier plants. Plants that are three or four years old are at the end of the oregano life cycle and will be less productive, making these prime candidates for removal....

TL;DR in English: Plant your oregano. Water your oregano moderately. Trim your oregano for thicker growth. Remove older plants. Weed around your plants Pick your oregano.

Some bugs stay out in the open and are easy to find. Others, like cockroaches, are nocturnal and prefer dark and enclosed areas. If you know what type of bug you are trying to eliminate, research it to find out where it may be living in your house. A good place to start your search is in the kitchen, as many bugs are attracted to the smell of food. Because bugs are attracted to the smell of food, do your best to keep food out of any living areas for extended periods of time. Once you have found the bug, you need a tool with which to hit it and kill it. For most bugs, a newspaper, a piece of cardboard, a paper-back book or a regular fly swatter are good tools to use. Roll it up or position it in your hand so it is comfortable. Raise it about a foot above the insect. Alternatively, if the insect is on the ground you can stamp on it with your foot. Make sure that you are wearing shoes, preferably with a solid sole. Approach the insect and use the newspaper or fly swatter to hit the insect directly and with force. If using your foot, target the insect and stamp on it with the middle part of your shoe. It is important to move quickly and not to hesitate. Many insects like flies are extremely aware of their surroundings, and when they notice a threat they move immediately. Therefore, it's very important to do it quickly! You may want to clean up the insect remains after you are done. Using something disposable like a napkin or paper towel to clean up the insect is a great way of getting rid of it for good! After disposing of the insect, wipe down the surface you picked it up from using an all-purpose cleaner or a product like Clorox to ensure a complete clean.

At this point, the calculation becomes much simpler if you convert from imperial units to metric units. When you are finished with all of the calculations you can convert kilograms back to pounds to get the weight in imperial units.  To convert cubic feet to cubic meters, use the conversion factor 0.0283 m3/ft3.  For the rectangular pond, multiply (750,000 ft3)(0.0283) = 2122.5 m3. Density is affected by temperature and salinity (salt content) so the density of water in a warm freshwater lake will be different than that of an arctic ocean. If you are doing a rough estimation you can use a density of 1000 kg/m3 (the density of pure water).  Ocean water is more dense because of the salt content and is about 1027 kg/m3. Colder water is more dense than warmer water, but for this type of general calculation the changes due to temperature can be ignored. The next step in getting to the weight of your body of water is converting the total volume you calculated into a mass. This is done by multiplying by the density of the liquid. For example: The pond contains fresh water, so use the density of water of 1000 kg/m3. Multiply the volume in m3 by this density: (2122.5)(1000) = 2,122,500 kg. The total mass of the pond in kilograms is 2,122,500. The final step is to convert kilograms back to pounds. To do this, you use the conversion factor 2.2 kg/lb. Simply multiply the number of kilograms by 2.2 to get the number of pounds. For example: 2,122,500 x 2.2 = 4,669,500 lbs. The total weight of the pond is 4,669,500 pounds.

TL;DR in English: Convert the volume to meters cubed. Identify the density of the liquid of the body of water. Multiply volume by density to calculate mass. Convert mass to weight in pounds.

Believe it or not, “there’s an app for that.” Smartphones have several different apps that you can use to help wake you up while you are in stage 1 sleep.  Some apps work by attempting to determine the stage of sleep you are in by monitoring your body movements. This requires placing the phone a certain way on the mattress and provides for a target wake-up time which varies based on the readings from the app. Other available technologies use headbands to determine brainwave activity and wakes you when you are in the lighter stages of sleep. To balance the melatonin response in your body, some alarms have been designed in the form of lamps.  The alarm lamps use wavelengths of light that mimic natural daylight. Prior to your designated alarm time, the lamp begins by emitting low levels of light which gradually increase as your alarm time approaches. This helps to make your brain think it is daytime. Many available lamps use blue wavelengths of light which more naturally mimic natural light sources. Regular artificial lighting does not work. Artificial lighting does not send the same messages to your brain to wake up or help with regulating your sleep-wake cycle. In addition to the non-traditional methods available as morning alarms, you may also want to calculate the time to go to sleep and to set your alarm based on standard sleep cycles.  The standard sleep cycle is 90 minutes in length. Setting your alarm device, whatever you select, with 90-minute sleep intervals in mind, can help to minimize the amount of sleep inertia you experience. Once you fall asleep, your first 90-minute cycle begins. It may take some effort to determine the number of hours of sleep your body needs each night, but once you know that number you can use the amount of sleep you need in combination with the 90 minute sleep cycle time frame to optimize your sleep quality. Figure out your best bedtime by doing the math in reverse. Start with the time you need to get up each morning and calculate in reverse using 90-minute sleep cycles to...

Making sure your body is in top physical condition before labor begins can reduce the likelihood of a prolonged labor. Preparing your body for what's to come can make labor easier and quicker when your baby arrives. Walk or swim regularly, and incorporate a few specialized exercises.  Kegels, small internal contractions of the pelvic muscles, can help your body with the pushing stage of labor and also reduce the risk of hemorrhoids in the weeks after childbirth. You can do kegels virtually anywhere. Simply contract the muscles around your vagina, as you would when holding in urine, then hold for four seconds and release. Repeat this 10 times. Three or four sets, done about three times a day, is ideal.  The pelvic tilt, also known as the angry cat, can strengthen abdominal muscles and reduce back pain during pregnancy. Get on your hands and knees, keeping your arms straight without locking your elbows. Tighten your abdominal muscles when breathing in and move your buttocks below your back. Relax your back when you breathe out and repeat at your own pace. Move in time to the rhythm of your breath.  Squatting helps open your pelvis, important for labor. Stand with a chair facing your back and, using the chair for support, contract abdominal muscles, lift your chest, and relax your shoulders. Lower your tailbone to the floor, as if you were going to sit down on the chair, and then rise again to the standing position. Making sure your body is healthy before delivery is vital to a smooth labor. Nutrition is just as important as exercise. Each woman's body is different, so there's no one-size-fits-all guideline to how much weight you should gain.  The adage that you're eating for two is false as your caloric intake does not double. However, you should increase the amount of calories you're eating as your pregnancy progresses. In general, a woman with a BMI between 18.5 and 25.9 should gain between 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy. A woman with a BMI higher than this should only gain 15 to 25 pounds. Discuss how much...

TL;DR in English: Stay fit during pregnancy. Monitor your weight during your pregnancy. Follow the food pyramid during pregnancy. Rest between your contractions.

Humor is subjective. What you find funny won't necessarily be the same thing even your best friend finds funny. So in order to know what tickles his funny bone, get to know him! What TV shows does he like? What comedians? What kind of humor does he use to amuse others? All of these are cues as to what gets him giggling. The most aptly-timed joke on, say, Foucault won't be appreciated by the type of guy who prefers laughing at toilet humor. And it works the other way around, too. Does the guy you're eyeing prefer bro banter? Is he into witty non-sequiturs about current events? Can he be slayed by a play on words in Klingon? Find out! On the whole, women value a sense of humor more than men do. What do men want? Someone who will make them feel funny. Instead of trying to impress him, show him that he impresses you. Showing him that he has the right to laugh at his own jokes, too, because he's just so darn awesome could win him over in no time. You don't have to laugh at every joke he makes like your world has just been altered. If he drops a dud, laugh at him, albeit playfully. Did he just try an unfunny, stereotypical, sexist, blonde joke? Oh, honey. Let him know how cute he is for trying with a fake chuckle and a forced grin. When we click with people, chemistry is pretty Unable to ignore. To show him that you just get him and that you appreciate his humor, feed off of it! Did he just whip out his Sean Connery impression on a dime? Keep it going with your best Alex Trebek or Pussy Galore (doesn't have to be good -- this moment is about him). If not an impression, can you drop a line from a movie or challenge him to up his game to Christopher Walken? Establishing a banter can develop a rapport between you two, creating a bond that won't easily be broken. Whether his humor is self-deprecating or straight out of Family Guy, go with it. Show him that you appreciate how fun he is.

Avoid walking alone as this may attract the bully. If there isn't anyone else around to walk with, take a path where there are a lot of people who will see if the bully tries to harass you. Most bullies won’t approach a group of people. They want to make you feel bad or get a reaction from you. With friends there to support you, they know you’re less likely to respond with the emotion they want.  Bullies are less likely to pick on you, if they think they’ll be the “odd man out.” Sticking with your friends will discourage them from bullying you. Tell your friends about the bullying, and ask them to stick up for you in case the bully does approach. Don’t put yourself in a situation where the bully will have an opportunity to verbally or physically attack you. Think about where you’ve come in contact with your bully in the past, and try to find alternate routes, shift your schedule, or change habits to avoid the bully. Don’t let your bully dramatically impact your day to day life, but if you can easily circumvent the places you run into them, doing so may be the easiest way to avoid conflict.  For instance, if you often run into the bully on your way home from a specific event, plan for an alternate route that won't take you past your bully. If you have to see your bully in a class, try to walk as far away from them as possible, and avoid sitting near them. If your bully frequents the same coffee shop or other public location, consider going at a different time of day. If they call you names, don't say anything in response. Most bullies are behaving in a harassing way to get a specific reaction from you. If you don’t respond at all, they are more likely to lose interest. Not responding may also make the bully angrier, so make sure to read their responses and leave possibly hostile situations. This may be easier said than done. In some cases, the bully will not want you to walk away, and will continue to follow and harass you. If the bully tries to physically attack you, it is especially important to walk away...

TL;DR in English: Stick with your friends. Avoid places where the bully hangs out. Ignore your bully. Walk away.

If you have the opportunity, think about trying out for a sports team. Having a practical knowledge of the sports you’ll be reporting on can be a major plus. Becoming an athlete will give you a chance to work closely with other players, coaches, recruiters and journalists, and afford you a behind-the-scenes look into the workings of the industry.  If you’re not a student and don’t have the option of trying out for a school team, look into joining a community league in your area. Quite a few well-known sportscasters got their start as players rather than educated journalists. Start writing out your thoughts and analyses of sporting events for practice. A substantial amount of the expert opinions offered by sports analysts are written down in the form of blurbs, editorials and written interviews. You should also work on polishing your verbal skills and becoming comfortable talking to people to prepare for conducting interviews and appearing on radio or television.  A lot of writing goes into sports reporting, even if you’re working in broadcasting. The better you’re able to write, the better you’ll be at doing your job.  Devise a system for interviewing players, coaches and other personnel. Know how to make the best use of a short interview segment, and which questions to ask to receive the information you’re after. Attend sporting events regularly and meet as many industry professionals as you can. See if you can take up a minute of the coach’s time, or ask a sports reporter or even a camera technician how they broke into the business. Give your name to everyone you meet and let them know that you’re interested in getting started as a sportscaster. This way, they’ll remember you once it comes time to put your networking to use. Don’t be shy about asking for advice. Most sports reporters are very comfortable talking to people and will be happy to share the secrets of their success with you. When you feel prepared, start seeking out jobs in sports journalism. You may have to smart small initially, working for...

Pay attention to fear. Note when you become self-conscious in a social setting. Consider whether you avoid social settings. Think about how often you stay quiet during discussions.

Mix one teaspoon (5 ml) into ¼ cup (59 ml) of water. Apply one drop of the solution to a hidden spot on the fabric. Wait for one minute and then blot the spot dry with a white cloth. If the color does not bleed or fade, it should be safe to use bleach on it.  Choose a hem for shirts you tuck in and an inseam or spot around the waist on pants. It’s also smart to check the tags on clothes. There will be a warning if the clothes are sensitive to bleach. Remember when you add bleach to your laundry not to let the bleach come into direct contact with the laundry. To accomplish this, start the washer before you put any laundry into it. Let the basin fill at least halfway before you add detergent and bleach. Bleach does not wash clothes, so you still need to use detergent to clean your laundry. If your machine has a detergent compartment, measure out the detergent and add it. If the machine has no detergent compartment, pour it directly into the water. For small loads, use about ½ cup (118 ml) of bleach. If you have an extra large load, it’s okay to use closer to a full cup (237 ml) of bleach. Pour it into a bleach compartment or directly into the water. Washer sizes and load sizes vary, so you’ll have to adjust how much bleach you use. Let the washer finish filling with water so that the bleach mixes up and dilutes into the water. When the machine is almost full, put your load of laundry into the water. Make sure it goes all the way into the water rather than floating on top.

TL;DR in English: Test the colorfastness of non-white fabrics. Fill the washer with water. Pour your detergent into the washer. Add about ½-¾ cup (118-177 ml) of bleach for a standard size load. Push the laundry down into the water.

Do you become filled with terror at the thought of being put on the spot at a social event? Are you afraid that people will judge you? This fear can come from being asked a personal question in front of others, or just being invited to a social gathering of any kind. If you have SAD, this fear would dominate your thoughts and causes you to feel panicked. For example, if you have SAD, you may feel a sense of terror when a friend asks you a question in front of people you don’t know. You may worry that people will judge you for what you say and be too afraid to say anything as a result. A common symptom of SAD is a feeling of self-consciousness that dictates how a person interacts with others. People with SAD are always afraid that they will embarrass themselves or get rejected in some way. If you feel extremely self-conscious when in a social setting, before a social interaction, or before a public talk, you may have SAD. For example, if you feel like you have nothing of value to say when you are discussing a subject that you are actually passionate about, you may have social anxiety. Instead of contributing your ideas and opinions, you may be obsessing over thoughts that the other people don’t like how you are dressed or that they don't think you are intelligent. A common trait of someone with SAD is avoiding instances where they may be forced to speak or interact in a social setting. If you go out of your way to avoid social interactions or having to speak in front of others, you may have social anxiety. For example, if you are invited to a party but you refuse to go because you are too nervous about hanging out with other people, you may have social anxiety. People with SAD generally fade to the back of discussions because they are too nervous about voicing their thoughts. They are afraid that what they say will displease others or warrant ridicule. If you often find yourself staying silent during conversations out of fear, this may indicate that you have SAD. For example, if you are in a discussion with...

The more comfortable you are talking to your parents about everyday stuff, the easier it will be to talk about difficult subjects. Having regular chats will also make it easier for you and your parents to understand each other. Instead of hiding in your room after coming home from school, take a few minutes to talk about how your day went.  For example, you could talk to them about something funny that happened in class, or tell them about what you’d like to do over the weekend. Ask your parents how they’re doing, too. Showing that you’re interested in them and willing to listen will encourage them to listen to you in return. You could say something like, “How’s that new gardening project coming along, Dad?” If you need to talk to your parents about something difficult, take time beforehand to think about exactly what you want to tell them. This will help you express yourself more clearly and feel more confident when it’s time to have the talk.  For example, if you made a mistake, you might plan to say something like, “I messed up today, and I feel really bad about it. I’m afraid you might be disappointed in me, but I really need to tell you what happened.” Think about what you want from your parents, too. They’ll have an easier time understanding you if you clearly express what you want to get out of the conversation. For example, you might say, “I don’t really want advice, Mom. I just need to get this off my chest.” Your parents will have an easier time listening to you and understanding what you’re trying to say if they’re not distracted or stressed out by other things. Try to choose a time to talk when you and your parents are both calm and unlikely to get interrupted.  If you’re not sure when would be a good time, don’t hesitate to ask! Say something like, “There’s something important I want to talk about. Is now a good time?” You can also make a plan with your parents ahead of time about when to talk. For example, you could say, “Is it okay if we talk for a few minutes after dinner tonight?” Your...

TL;DR in English: Make time to chat with your parents every day. Decide what you want to say before having a difficult talk. Pick a good time to talk about tricky subjects. Be direct and honest when you speak to your parents. Use “I” language to express your feelings. Listen Keep your tone and words respectful.

Select a bikini top with underwire if you want extra support, or go with a thin strappy set for a flirty, sexy choice. Pick your favorite style, color, and you’ll be ready for the beach! For instance, choose a hot pink bikini for a cute option, or go for a floral pattern for a summertime style. Tankinis are also a two-piece style, but they have a more modest top. One-piece bathing suits come in open-back, deep “V” necklines, and monokini options if you want a flirty touch. These bathing suits come in all sorts of patterns and colors, so choose one that catches your eye and suits your style.  Women’s bathing suit tops usually are sized by bust measurement, and bottoms often correspond to your pant size. A monokini is a one-piece style with an open back and cut-outs on the side. This is essentially a bikini that also covers your tummy. If you have a few pairs of bikinis or tankinis, consider swapping out certain tops and bottoms to customize your swimwear. This is a great way to change up your style and add a personal touch to your outfit.  For instance, if you have a royal blue bikini and a polka-dotted tankini, you can wear the polka dotted tankini top with the blue bottoms. If you are wearing a feminine style bathing suit, you can wear boardshorts in addition to your bathing suit bottoms. They can be more comfortable when walking around the boardwalk or taking a stroll down the shore.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you should give children two doses of MMR at different times to prevent measles from occuring. Give the first shot of MMR to children between 12-15 months of age, and the second shot between 4-6 years old. Kids need both doses to have the best immunity.  As long as the second dose is 28 days after the first dose, children can get the second dose earlier. The important thing is to give two shots at least 28 days apart. Children between the ages of 1-12 years can get the MMRV vaccine instead, which covers varicella (chickenpox) as well as measles, mumps, and rubella. Teens who attend college or another post-high school institution should be able to show evidence of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella. If not, administer two doses of MMR at least 28 days apart.  ”Evidence of immunity” is when your patient can show written proof that they have been vaccinated, have had all three diseases, or have had blood tests done showing they are immune to all three diseases. Check your patient's medical records or try to consult with their previous doctor. Give one dose to adults who cannot demonstrate evidence of immunity. Adults born before 1957 do not need the vaccine, however.

TL;DR in English: Administer MMR to children at 12-15 months and 4-6 years of age. Ensure teens are up to date on their MMR vaccine. Vaccinate adults who are not immune.

Make sure you use professional language and avoid bad-mouthing your boss in front of your supervisor. You don’t want to say something that makes your supervisor lose respect for you, too. Remember that you want to look like the calm, reasonable one, and that your boss is the one who has been causing all the problems. If you truly feel that you’ve been discriminated against because of your age, race, gender, or something else beyond your control, then it may be time to take action. You can consult the EEOC for free, or seek out an employee attorney for a fee if you think you’ve been discriminated against and are in a protected class. Don’t be nervous about taking this measure if this is what’s happening; though it won’t be pleasant, this may be the best way to meet your needs. If you’ve witnessed fraud at your company and want to take action, remember that the False Claims Act requires you to first file your claim before you disclose it publicly. One option that isn’t as extreme as leaving your company but which can make you a lot happier at your workplace is to see if you can be transferred to a different department, or even transferred to a different boss. If you’re truly having trouble with your boss and your supervisors or other people at the company completely understand where you’re coming from, then they may be willing to accommodate your needs. If you make it pretty clear that you won’t be able to stay on if...

TL;DR in English: Talk to your supervisor if it’s necessary. Take action if you feel you’ve been discriminated against. See if you can be transferred within your company. Decide whether it’s worth it to leave your workplace. Do your research carefully before you take another job offer.

Look for scaliness or crustiness on the budgie’s toes. Treat your bird to eliminate scaly mites. Listen to your budgie’s breathing. Give your budgie medications to combat air sac mites.

Smile when you make eye contact with another kid. They'll know right away that you're a nice, friendly person. Give your classmate a compliment when you like something they've done. This not only makes the other person feel good about themself but it also warms them up to you.  In art class, you could say, “Hey Ari, your drawing looks really pretty!” or “Emily, it was really nice of you to share your scissors with me today. Thanks!” After math class, let a classmate know you appreciated their help by saying “Mandy, I'm so glad you asked the teacher that question today. I was confused about that too!” Whether you end up sitting next to a new kid at your school or you're assigned to a group project with someone you haven't met before, take a moment to introduce yourself. Add a question or compliment to your introduction to get the other person talking. The other person will be glad you broke the silence and will feel comfortable around you in the future.  Try saying, “Hi, I don't think we've met before. I'm Rachel, what's your name?” or “Hi, I'm Rachel. Were you in Mrs. Colt's class last year?” Continue your conversation by asking the other person more questions about themselves. Show that you're genuinely interested and try to get to know them a little bit better. You can compliment someone by noticing something good that they're doing and praising it. For example, you could say, “Lola, you were an amazing team captain in gym class today!” If you're nervous about talking to kids you don't know, practice with a trusted adult at home first. Pick activities you're interested in; don't just choose a club because it seems cool. If you like volleyball, dance, gymnastics, or singing, find a group through your school or local community that you can join. As an alternative to joining a club, consider volunteering and helping others with your free time.  If you're interested in volunteering, ask your parents to help you find a local organization you could help. See if you could volunteer at your church or local library....

TL;DR in English: Let your classmates know you're friendly by smiling and saying nice things. Introduce yourself to kids you don't know. Join a club or activity group to meet new people. Say “yes” when someone asks you to hang out or play with them. Keep your promises. Ask other kids to hang out or play with you. Avoid trying to become popular by social climbing.

Like many birds, the toes of budgies are covered in scaly skin. If you notice changes in your bird’s toe scales, however (abnormal color, size, shape, texture, etc.), this could indicate that your pet has scaly mites. Avimec/Scatt one drop on the skin on the back of the neck once a week for 2-3 weeks will kill the mites and eggs. A bird that is infected with a particular pest called air sac mites (Sternostoma tracheacolum) may have trouble breathing.  You might hear a clicking or wheezing sound when your budgie breathes if it has this problem. You may also notice your budgie’s tail flitting up and down, or that your bird breathes with its mouth open. These are also signs that the bird is having trouble breathing. Both ivermectin (Avimec/Scatt) and levamisole are effective against a variety of parasites, and are often prescribed to treat budgies infested with air sac mites. Unfortunately, the mortality rate for budgies afflicted with air sac mites is high, even with the availability of these medications.

Try scrubbing with water and a rough sponge. Use a lemon juice and water solution. Use a paste made from white vinegar and baking soda. Use a paste made from hot water and borax.

Drinking water can actually prevent fluid building up around your eyes. One 8 ounce (230 g) glass before bed could help stop bags from appearing in the morning when you wake up. Puffy eyes often appear when you haven’t gotten enough sleep. To reduce eye bags as you rest, sleep on your back with your head propped up on a pillow. Keep your head elevated all night. Salt can cause your body to hold more water. This, in turn, can cause swelling or puffiness around your eyes. Reducing salt in your diet may be able to stop eye bags before they even start.  Cook your own food instead of eating out or buying prepared dishes. This will allow you to control exactly how much salt you add to your food. If you do order out, avoid adding extra salt to the dish. Avoid fried food, prepackaged snacks, canned soups, sauces, and processed meats like ham or bacon. These are all usually high in sodium. Look for low-sodium options when shopping, such as unsalted pretzels, low sodium soups, or sodium-free salad dressings. Smoke from cigarettes can irritate your eyes and cause swelling. If you smoke, now is the best time to quit. In addition to preventing eye bags, you’ll also improve your general health and reduce your risk of developing wrinkles. Talk to your doctor if you want to quit smoking. They may be able to give you a prescription to reduce cravings or help you create a plan to quit. An occasional drink or night out won’t hurt your skin in the long run, but too much drinking can cause dehydration. Dehydration can increase swelling and puffiness around the eyes. Aim to drink no more than 1 drink a day on average.  If you have a few drinks, drink plenty of water the next day to counteract the effects. Mixed drinks might also contain salt, which can make your eyes look puffy. Exercising can reduce swelling in your body and improve circulation, which will make your eyes look less puffy. If you’re not able to exercise regularly, try doing some yoga instead.

TL;DR in English: Drink a glass of water before you go to bed. Sleep for 7-8 hours a night with your head raised. Eat a low-sodium diet. Stop smoking. Reduce how much alcohol you drink. Exercise regularly.

If you do not have aggressive stains, or the stains are relatively new, you may be able to remove soap buildup that has become stained with a rough sponge, water, and vigorous scrubbing. Do not scrub so hard that you damage the finishing of your shower or tub, as this will create a texture that is harder to clean. Squeeze the juice of a lemon into a spray bottle, and fill the rest of the spray bottle with water. Spray the solution onto your stains, and let it stay for 10 minutes before wiping it down. Repeat as necessary. Dry the stain, then spread the mixture over it and allow it to sit for 15 minutes before scrubbing lightly with a cloth. Dry the area well. Borax, a mineral and salt that comes from boric acid, is available in powder form at hardware and grocery stores, as well as online. Create a paste with 1 tablespoon of borax and two cups of hot water. Apply to the stain and let it sit overnight before rubbing it off with a cloth.

Tie one of the end of the Christmas cracker shut.

Copper tubing used for plumbing piping is available sized nominally, meaning that the outside diameter of the tubing is 1/8" (0.125 inches) larger than its stated size. In other words, 1" nominal copper tubing measures 1.125" inches in diameter. If you need to cut the pipe for your project, make sure that you use a tube cutter, clamping the pipe firmly and rotating the cutter around the pipe. It should take about 8 turns. Most nominally-sized copper tubing is available in four weights, or wall thicknesses, which is color-coded. Typically, though, residential projects will involve copper tubing of either Type L or M. Type L tubing is marked with a blue tag and is typically the most commonly used in commercial/residential installations. Type M is marked red and has the lightest wall that can be used for a pressurized system. Depending on your project, you'll probably need some combination of the following:  Male/Female adapters, which are used to join a solder pipe to a threaded pipe. Reducing adapters, which are used to go from a larger size pipe to a smaller size. Elbow joints, which are used to turn corners, typically 90 degree bends, but also available in 45 degree bends. Tees and crosses, which are used to join a branch tubing to the main tubing, using a tee, or two branches in the case of a "cross." For potable water systems, lead-free solid core solder must be used.  It is typically 95/5 (95% tin and 5% antimony), or an alloy of tin and a small amount of copper and/or silver, commonly sold in one pound rolls of 1/8" diameter wire. Solder with lead must not be used for potable water systems. This is typically a jelly with a zinc chloride or rosin cleaning component used to cover the cleaned surfaces of the copper to be soldered before assembly and heating. It is the function of the flux, upon heating, to facilitate further cleaning, exclude atmospheric oxygen, prevent re-oxidation, and to aide in wetting out the solder. Typically, a traditional electric soldering iron won't be hot enough to work with...

TL;DR in English: Get copper tubing of appropriate diameter. Make sure the tubing is of the proper wall thickness for your project. Get the proper connectors and joints for the system you are building. Select solder. Obtain the appropriate solder flux. Get a heat source.

You can use gift wrap, construction paper, butcher paper, scrapbooking paper, or even tissue paper.   Hide the contents if you use tissue paper. Stack 2 to 3 sheets so the contents will stay invisible. The paper does not have to be Christmas themed. It can be winter themed instead. Blue, white, and silver stripes are perfect for a Winter Wonderland party. You can use a summer theme if December is a summer month where you live. Match the paper to your table settings. Your table will be more festive if the crackers match the napkins, plates, candles, decorations, etc. Start with one of the long edges facing you. If your paper has one side patterned and blank on the other (such as scrapbooking paper or gift wrap), make sure that the blank side faces up. This will make your Christmas cracker pop like store bought ones. Place a long strip of double-sided tape at 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the top edge of the paper, . Press the cracker snap onto the tape. Make sure that it is centered. Both ends of the cracker snap need to be taped down. Many craft and dollar stores sell cracker snaps during the holiday season. You can also find them available online. Make sure that the tape goes from edge-to-edge to seal your Christmas cracker shut. If you added a cracker snap, the tape will be just above it. You should have about 4 inch (10.2 cm) on either side of the toilet paper tube. If you can't find any toilet paper tubes, cut an empty paper towel tube in half. You can also get an empty gift wrap tube, and cut 4 inch (10.2 cm)) segments. Roll the toilet paper tube as evenly and as tightly as you can towards the top of the paper to keep the paper smooth. When you get to the top edge, run your finger along the tape to seal it. Get as close to the toilet paper tube as possible. (See the Tips section)  Do not tie the other end shut yet. You can use anything to tie the cracker shut. Choose something that matches your paper or your theme for pizzaz. For example:  For something fancy or elegant, use a piece of satin, sheer, or curling...

You need to override your dog's distaste for his medicine by offering your dog something your dog finds irresistible. Make sure to choose foods that are healthy for your dog, like plain meat, cheese, peanut butter, or yogurt. Avoid junk foods like candy or chips.  This works best if your dog swallows food quickly, without chewing. This works best with food in which the pill can be well enveloped such as wet dog food, so that the pill does not fall out. Using Pill Pockets or Flavor Doh available at your veterinarian sometimes works better than food.  Before you administer the medication, ensure it can be taken with food to avoid detrimental side effects. There are different ways of doing this, depending on the kind of food you use. Generally, the goal is to fold the pill inside, or push it into the food, such that it is securely hidden. Try different ways of hiding the pill in the food to see what works best for your dog.  Ground beef, turkey or chicken can be molded around the medication. Pills can be pushed inside a portion of hot dog. Softer cheeses can be easily re-shaped to encapsulate the medicine. If you're using peanut butter, grasp the pill with tweezers and dip it into the peanut butter. Get just enough on to make the pill enticing, without overdoing it. This can take a few tries. Sometimes dogs are able to separate the medicine from the food in their mouths, and they will then spit it out. In this case, try again. If you are repeatedly unsuccessful, it may be necessary to try another method.  You may want to try to wait until the dog is hungry, and then give two or three undoctored treats so that the dog gets a taste for them and looks for more. Then slip in the doctored treat, closely followed by another normal treat to get the taste out of his mouth. If you have more than one dog, try this when they are both present. Give food without medicine to the other dog first. Then attempt to give the medicine. The competition from the second dog can increase the chances of successfully getting your dog to...

TL;DR in English: Get food your dog really likes. Hide the pill inside the food. Give the food to your dog.

Mix the sugar, cornstarch, and cherry juice in a saucepan. Use a wooden spoon to stir until everything is thoroughly mixed. Put the saucepan on the stove and set it to medium heat. Once the mixture starts boiling and thickening up, turn off the heat and add the pitted cherries. Mix the sugar, cornstarch, salt, blueberries, and lemon juice together in a saucepan. Turn the stovetop to medium heat to warm the mixture while continuously stirring. Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat on your stovetop down and let the mixture simmer for about ten minutes. The final product should be fairly thick. This one will take a bit longer than the cherry and blueberry toppings. You’ll need to simmer the dried apricots and the orange juice in a saucepan for about half an hour, or until soft. Then, drain the orange juice and put the tender apricots into a food processor to puree with sugar and lemon juice. Once the mixture is nice and smooth, it’s all set. While a fruit topping is the traditional topping, it is certainly not the only one you can make. Other common variations are poppyseed and cream cheese kolaches. You can even make savory kolaches with different types of breakfast meats. Don’t be afraid to get creative!

A UTI can make it difficult for you to empty your bladder all the way, leading to frustration, frequent bathroom trips, and nighttime leaks. Right before you go to bed, sit on the toilet and empty your bladder as much as possible. Remain on the toilet for 30 seconds to a few minutes when you're done, then try again. As you're sitting on the toilet, lean forward slightly and rest your hands on your thighs or knees. Sitting in this position can help you empty your bladder more completely. Set an alarm to wake you up every 2-4 hours so you can urinate. This will help keep your bladder from becoming overly full, making it less likely that you will wake up with a wet bed or a frantic urge to go. Try setting the alarm to go off at different times each night. This way, you won't inadvertently train your bladder to wake you up at specific times to pee. If your UTI causes your bladder to leak at night, having to strip and change your bedclothes can be very disruptive to your sleep. Try wearing an incontinence pad to keep accidents contained and easier to deal with quickly.  Absorbent briefs are another good option. These special undergarments are fitted to prevent leaks. It's best to wear clean cotton underwear, which are breathable. Your doctor may also be able to prescribe a medication to keep nighttime incontinence under control while your UTI heals. Talk to your doctor about what medication(s) might work best for you.  Common options include anticholinergics, bladder-relaxing medications such as mirabegron, and alpha blockers. Ask your doctor about fesoterodine, a medication that has been shown to improve both nighttime incontinence problems and overall sleep quality.

TL;DR in English: Try double voiding to completely empty your bladder before bed. Take scheduled nighttime bathroom breaks. Wear a pad at night to avoid soaking your bedclothes. Ask your doctor about medications to control incontinence.

Any time you receive a promotional email from a site (e.g., Facebook or Amazon), there's a good chance that it's tracking your response. While you may be comfortable with this on social media or other secure sites, entering your email address on an unsecure or dodgy site will almost certainly result in email tracking. Your Spam folder will likely take care of obvious junk mail, but that doesn't mean you should open emails from services, websites, or even people whom you don't know. Similarly, don't open unnecessary emails even if you do trust the recipient (e.g., Best Buy or Tumblr). In rare cases, email trackers will use links to indicate whether or not their recipient has opened the email. In cases such as these, merely right-clicking the link or hovering over it with your cursor may be enough to trigger the "read" notification. Unfortunately for non-Chrome users, the only reputed tracker blockers are for Google Chrome as of February 2017.   PixelBlock - Identifies and blocks trackers in all incoming emails.  UglyEmail - Identifies (but doesn't block) tracked email. To install an extension on Google Chrome, click the blue Add to Chrome button in the top right corner of the extension's window.

Use industrial strength traps to remove the rats from your home. Avoid poisons, because the rats might die in walls or other hard to reach areas where you won’t find them. Continue trapping rats for a week or until you no longer have any rodents. Wear rubber or latex gloves. Spray the dead rat with a disinfectant or a combination of one part bleach and ten parts hot water. Allow this to remain on the dead rat for five minutes. Seal the rat with the paper towel in a plastic bag. For safety, put this bag in a second bag. Dispose of the rat in a covered garbage receptacle that is emptied regularly. Spray the area of your floor where the rat was with a solution of 1.5 cups (360 mL) of chlorine bleach and one gallon (5.678 L) of hot water. Wipe the floor down thoroughly with a paper towel and dispose of the paper towel immediately.

Before you begin the process of filing an online complaint with the FBI, pull together any copies of evidence you may have about the online gambling operation, as well as other information you may have.  Keep in mind that the more information and detail you provide, the more likely it will be that the FBI will be successful in bringing down the illegal operation and bringing the perpetrators to justice. However, don't hold off reporting an operation just because you don't have very much information. Even if all you have is the domain name of the website, it's information the FBI can use to investigate the activity. If you happen to have any documents or other evidence, such as screen captures, you also will have the ability to submit them along with your complaint. You don't have to be a victim to file a complaint with the FBI. The agency accepts complaints from any concerned citizen who wants to sound the alert about illegal gambling activity online. The IC3 is run by the FBI, and collects information on internet crime submitted by private individuals. These reports are analyzed by the FBI and disseminated to other federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies where appropriate.  For example, if the website that hosts illegal gambling happens to be operated out of a particular state, the FBI will forward information to that state's gaming commission to investigate and shut down the operation. Even if the gambling activity itself is primarily occurring in a physical location, you still can use the IC3 website to report the activity if it has an online component. On the IC3 home page, there is a link to the online complaint form. Once you click it you will have to agree to the terms and conditions and accept the privacy policy before you can proceed filling out the form.  Your information is kept secure, and your name and contact information remain confidential. However, you may be contacted by law enforcement officials looking for additional information about the operation described in your complaint....
