Every state has its own laws regarding the dissolution of marriage. Once you have decided what method of divorce is best for your situation, you should educate yourself on the requirements for divorce in your state. You can locate state-specific divorce laws at: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/divorce-in-your-state-31013.html. Some questions that you should consider when preparing for divorce are:  On what grounds can I file for divorce? Some states have “no fault” divorce, which means that you do not have to prove that either spouse did something wrong. Some spouses may seek a divorce based on fault, which can include cruelty, adultery, desertion or confinement to prison.  How will my property be divided? Depending on the state in which you live, your property may be divided as community property/separate property or through equitable division. In community property states, all property accumulated during the marriage is considered marital property and is divided evenly. If you owned property before the marriage that property is considered separate property and it is not subject to division. If you live in an equitable division state, a judge will try to decide what is fair and may not divide the property evenly.  How is child custody and child support handled. The guiding principle in all states regarding custody is a determination of what is in the best interest of the child. Most states have resources for parents to help them develop a custody agreement and parenting plan. Links to these resource can be found at: http://family.findlaw.com/child-custody/child-custody-and-visitation-information-by-state.html A large part of a divorce proceeding deals with the division or marital property. When preparing to file for divorce, you should gather the following financial documents:  Federal and State income taxes for the previous five years. Paystubs and/or payroll statements. Documents concerning your retirement accounts, such as 401(k) plans, annuities, IRAs or other pension or retirement information....

TL;DR in English: Research the divorce laws in your state. Gather financial documents. Locate divorce forms for your state. Retain an attorney for specific tasks.

Any sort of frustration (physical or otherwise) can be alleviated by physical exertion. Sports like kickboxing or martial arts are especially effective. It'll fill your time, take your mind to another place, and get your adrenaline pumping which is a healthy alternative. Any exercise is good, even yoga, weight training, and standard cardio. Not only is it good for you mentally, but physically to boot. If you're not much of a sports or fitness freak, find more artistic hobbies for an outlet. These activities can be incredibly cathartic and calming; what's more, a reduction in anxiety may reduce your frustration. The less stressed you are about the rest of your life, the calmer you'll be about this. Consider painting, cooking, at-home DIY projects, candle or pottery making, taking up an instrument, carpentry, woodworking, or any hobby at all that appeals to and gets you in the zone. You'll be cultivating a talent, too! With today’s technology, long-distance relationships have never been easier. If you're sexually frustrated because your love is far away, use Skype, Facetime, or just sext. It's not the same, but it can certainly help! Some people are a little wary of the idea of phone sex or something similar. This may be something you have to ease in slowly with your partner. Start with small steps telling you how much you miss them and how you want to touch them and watch it flower from there.

Spend time with people who love you. Make a new friend or enter a romantic relationship. Adopt an animal companion. Be kind to others.

Some trucks may only be able to dump the rocks in one big pile, but some trucks can let the rocks out a little at a time, spreading them across the span of your driveway, which will save you a lot of work. Use a wheelbarrow to distribute the rocks evenly along the length of your driveway.  Then use your shovel and hard metal rake to spread the rocks evenly across the width of your driveway. You can also try driving over the area repeatedly with a heavy vehicle such as a large truck. If you only have one layer, you can move to the next step. Your driveway should be slightly elevated in the middle and lower on the sides to promote water drainage.  You can achieve this by raking in from the sides towards the center so that the rocks are slightly piled higher in the center.  You could also add some additional gravel down the center of your driveway and slowly scrape it towards the sides a little at a time. Don’t go too crazy with the grading; you don’t want your driveway to look like a pyramid. The ideal grade is very subtle, with the middle 2% to 5% higher than the sides. Be sure to “finish” your project by cleaning up.  Remove the landscape stakes and twine markers.  Put away or return tools that were rented or borrowed, and be sure to pay or thank anyone who helped you with the project. When necessary, rake gravel that gets displaced back into your driveway.  Also think about adding gravel every two to three years to any low or bare spots that emerge over time.

TL;DR in English: Ask the gravel deliverers if they can help spread the rocks. Spread the rocks. Tamp down the rocks with the mechanical compactor. Repeat the spreading and compacting process for each layer of gravel. Grade the area. Clean up your new driveway. Maintain your driveway.

This may be your family or it may be a group of trusted friends. Spending time with people who really know you and love you for who you are is a remedy for emptiness. Focus on building and strengthening your relationships with these people. You can find meaning in the simple act of spending time with a loved one who takes pleasure in your company. Spending time with friends and family can also help reduce stress and give you a deeper sense of belonging. Reduce the time that you spend with people who are harmful to you, even if they don’t mean to be. If you must spend time around someone who is hurting your self-esteem or making you feel powerless, make sure your meetings always have a time cap. The pleasure of meeting someone you connect with and letting the relationship grow in unexpected ways is a terrific antidote to feelings of emptiness. A new friend or love interest can help you have rich new experiences and show you that you're an interesting, lovable person. Suddenly the world can seem like it has a lot more to offer than you previously thought. Making friends can also help you to have a deeper sense of purpose and belonging.  Sometimes it's difficult to make new friends and meet people, especially in later years when you're no longer in school. Joining clubs, taking classes, or spending time in a favorite hangout are good ways to meet people. Practice being more generous with your time and saying "yes" when you're invited to do something. If you feel you never have enough time to give new relationships, they won't grow. Research has shown that having a pet can make life feel fuller and more meaningful. People who own pets are also less likely to suffer from depression and may experience health benefits from owning a pet as well. Having a companion animal that depends on you for care can also help make your life seem more meaningful. Consider adopting a cat or dog from a local shelter to reduce your feelings of emptiness. Performing random acts of kindness can help you feel more fulfilled by...

Since yaws are easily transmitted through skin contact, it is best to let the people that live in your household get tested for yaws as well as take the treatment if they are infected. Treated areas which are previously endemic for yaws should be reexamined within 6 months and at intervals there after so that missed cases and their contacts can be treated. There is 100% cure rate among yaws patients in the early stages of this disease. Nevertheless, treatment cannot reverse or change the destructive or damaged changes in the late or tertiary stage of yaws. Here are the specifics:  Yaws lesions become non-contagious within 24 hours from the start of treatment. Joint pains resolve in 25 hours to 48 hours of treatment. Complete healing of the initial and secondary lesions occur within two weeks to four weeks from start of treatment. It begins by the organism entering the body through a skin defect such as a bite site, abrasion or scratch. After about 3 weeks a reddish, painless and itchy small swelling develops at the entry site. The primary lesion heals spontaneously after 3-6 months.  Yaws has an incubation period of 9 days to 90 days followed by the appearance of this primary papule, called the mother yaws.  The swelling then ulcerates with a honey-brown crust formation. The ulcer may enlarge in size to about 2–5 centimeter (0.8–2.0 in). The crust sloughs out to expose a reddish base. The discharge from the ulcer is rich in organisms rendering the patient highly infectious. There is a gap of 6-16 weeks between the primary and secondary stages. During this period the organisms spread via the blood to different parts of the body.  There are skin lesions similar to primary yaws but they are smaller in size (maximum 2cm). They tend to develop around the mouth, nose, axilla and anus. These lesions also ulcerate and discharge infectious fluid. They heal spontaneously within 6 months. There may be painful swelling of bone surfaces particularly hand and foot bones. After the secondary lesions heal, the patient...

Generally speaking, Rose of Sharon is an exceptionally self-sufficient plant, and doesn’t require much upkeep. If you decide that your shrubs are in need of touching up, however, do it during the colder months while they’re still in their dormant stage. Doing so will help stimulate new growth once the weather warms up.  As a rule, the best time to prune your Rose of Sharon is anywhere from March to early May, before the blooms begin to open.  Cutting back your Rose of Sharon too early or too late can “shock” the plant, leaving it vulnerable to the elements and stunting healthy new growth. Pay close attention to any branches that appear rotted, brittle, or colorless, leaving only the strongest, healthiest sections behind. Try to shear each offshoot as close to the larger connecting branch as possible. You should be able to use your pruning shears to tackle most of the trimming.  For thick or stubborn branches, you may need to grab a pair of heavy-duty loppers or a handheld pruning saw.  If you’re not sure whether a particular branch is actually dead, try scraping off a little bit of the bark. If the wood underneath has a greenish tinge to it, leave it be. Inspect the interior of the shrub for offshoots that overlap or wind around each other. Clip off the more crooked of the 2 branches at its base—it’s not necessary to remove them both. Don’t forget to check for tangled or twisted stems near the outer part of the plant, as well. In addition to making your shrubs look better, getting rid of criss-crossing branches will also open them up in the middle, proving airflow essential for keeping pests and diseases at bay. Suckers are slender stalks that grow vertically out of the roots of woody shrubs like Rose of Sharon. They most often appear along the lower portion of the main branches or on the ground directly beneath the plant. The best way to deal with suckers is to snip each stalk as close to the base as possible, as this destroys their connection with the plant's roots and makes them slower to grow back.  Once...

TL;DR in English: Wait until winter or early spring to prune Rose of Sharon. Clear out dead or damaged wood. Eliminate criss-crossing branches. Remove any visible suckers from the base of the plant. Cut your shrubs back by up to two thirds of their total size.

There is no better way to amuse yourself than to find a hobby you love to do on your free time. There are so many options to choose from. You can buy a candle-making kit and try your hand, learn how to sew or knit, learn how to play an instrument, or plant a garden. Be patient, and remember that practice leads to the road of perfection. . This is a great way to tap into your creativity and find the beauty in the world. You could walk around your neighborhood, or simply take pictures of your house. No matter where you choose to take pictures, try to be as creative as possible and find your artistic side. You may end up developing a passion for photography. Write a story, a letter to a friend, or a poem! Just write anything that comes to mind. Writing is a great way to express yourself and can even help you relax. Even if writing pulls you out of your comfort zone, give it a try. Remember, you don't have to show anybody poems your write or personal thoughts you record.

TL;DR in English:


Have a conversation about how you feel. Respect your boundaries. Realize that the friendship may never be the same.

Select a bean or legume variety to sprout. Soak legumes in warm water. Let sprout for about 3 whole days. Dry off the sprouts and store them in the refrigerator.

Once you feel able to face your friend, arrange to meet up and talk. The two of you need to decide how to move forward with your friendship. If you just ignore it, your friendship may suffer. So, call out the elephant in the room and have the tough conversation.  You might say, “So, I still want to be your friend, but I can see I made you uncomfortable. How are we going to move on from this?” Actively listen to what the other person has to say. Find out exactly how they are feeling and what they are thinking. Brainstorm solutions to reduce any awkwardness or resentments. If the two of you are able to resume the friendship and fall back into old patterns, your old feelings may re-emerge. If this happens, don’t try to change their mind, or convince them that they should date you. Your friend made it clear that they weren’t interested in you that way, so respect their choice. You may have to decide if you are able to continue being friends with the person. You may have to go separate ways if you are unable to control your feelings and if they don't go away over time. Your friend may feel uncomfortable hanging out with you after you revealed your deeper feelings. In a similar vein, you may still feel humiliated about the rejection. No matter how hard you two work to salvage the friendship, you may find yourselves spending less time together.  Accept that once love enters the picture, things change. Be okay with not spending as much time with the person, if that’s what either of you wants. Your friendship might not improve until both of you are in fulfilling relationships, so be prepared for it to take a lot of time for things to get better between you.

TL;DR in English: Have a candid discussion about where the friendship stands. Respect their boundaries. Realize that the friendship may never be the same.

Perhaps the heartiest and the most famous sprouts are the bean sprouts. Legumes sprout thick protuberances that are nutritious and taste great, full of active micronutrients and flavor. Common legumes for sprouting include:  lentils, green or brown especially chickpeas or garbanzo beans mung beans, which are commonly sold in stores as "bean sprouts" green peas Start with about a half cup of dried beans (they tend to plump up some as they absorb water and shake their hulls). The water shouldn't be steaming, but warm to the touch, like a cup of tea you've let sit a bit too long. In your sprouting jar, soak the beans for at least 12 hours. Because the legumes will plump up considerably, make sure there's enough space in the jar and cover the beans by several inches to make sure they'll stay submerged. Rinse the beans twice a day, and store them upside down to drain properly as the sprouts grow. Sometime the first or second day, you might need to shake the jar slightly to remove the hulls. You can add some water and swirl the jar gently to remove them. If some stay on, don't worry to much. You'll be able to pull them off before eating, if necessary. Adzuki beans typically need about 4 days to sprout to their fullest and most delicious potential. Give them some extra time. After the sprouting period is over, you can remove the sprouts from the jar, gently dry them out and remove any extra hulls that haven't separated, or you can leave them on (they're edible, though somewhat bitter). They should be good in the fridge for about a week, if you keep an eye on them and keep them relatively dry. Bean sprouts are particularly good as a topping for broth-based soups, like Vietnamese pho or other spicy dishes. They're also perfect on salads and sandwiches.

TL;DR in English:


Set a budget. Focus on quality over quantity. Make sure the goodies reflect the recipient. Select useful items. Keep it simple.

Most auto transport company websites will have a large button at the top of the home page that says “Get Quote” or “Request Quote.” It’s almost always free to request a price quote, so don’t worry about having to commit to the company just because you’re requesting a quote. You can also call the company’s customer service phone number to get a quote. This phone number is also located on the company’s website and is almost definitely on any promotional material (e.g., flyers) that the company puts out. Contact each of the companies you’ve deemed to be trustworthy and ask how much it would cost for you to transport your car with them. Be sure to give them all of the specifics regarding your car and how you’d like them to transport it.  You’ll need to provide the make and model of your car, as well as the shipping locations and dates. Don’t agree to any offers immediately; just get quotes from all of the companies you’re considering so you can compare the offers to one another. Although you may think the lowest-priced company will be giving you the best deal, these companies often surprise customers with hidden fees down the line. Plus, the lower quoted price, the lower quality service you can usually expect from auto transport companies.  It's normal to see quotes within $100 of each other.  Anything way lower could be a bait and switch or have hidden fees. Hidden fees may include the cost of insurance or a service fee. Once you’ve gotten a sense of each company’s services, reputation, and price, you’re now in the best position possible to choose the right company for you. If you’re still not sure which company you should go with, contact the companies again to ask any lingering questions you still have.

TL;DR in English: Call or visit the website of a transport company to get a quote. Get quotes from several companies with good reviews. Avoid settling for the cheapest option. Decide which company is best for your particular situation.

Tailor your budget to fit the relationship you have with the recipient. In other words, you'll probably want to spend more on a close friend than a co-worker. Regardless of who the person is to you, give yourself a budget. Adult goodies can get pricy very quickly, so it's good to have some limitations in place. Instead of handing over a giant bag filled with mostly useless and throwaway items, aim for fewer items that are stylish, sophisticated and useful. To keep yourself on track when selecting items to put in the bag, continually ask yourself, “Is this something I would appreciate receiving myself?” For a friend, choose upscale items that are tailored to what you know about them. For people that you don't know well, choose items that are a little more neutral that anyone could enjoy.  For an artist friend you could put all art-related items in the bag, like paint brushes, a small paint set, a book about their favorite artist, a beautifully bound sketch book and/or two tickets to an art film showing in your city. For a co-worker you could use a dark brown coffee-themed bag and cream colored tissue paper. Inside you could put a nice mug, a few bags of high-end coffee, a small bag of bakery-made biscotti and a gift card for Starbucks. Everyone appreciates receiving things that are useful and functional. Gift cards fall into this category and since these days you can get a gift card to almost anything, tailor your choice to the person. Restaurants, department stores, craft stores, wine shops, book stores – the possibilities are endless.  Other ideas would be movie tickets, sports tickets or tickets for a night at the symphony. Smaller useful items are great too – travel sized hand sanitizers that are high end or decorated could be included, or a well-designed pen. Don't go overboard with your choices – pick 3 to 6 quality items that are well-made and nice to look at and leave it at that. When paired with the sophisticated, well-designed packaging you've created, even the smallest of gift bags come off as...

Mow or cut the thistle right before or during the flowering stage so it can’t distribute its seeds. Then, cut it again as soon as you notice new growth. This will deplete the roots and make it hard for the thistle to survive.  If you’re dealing with creeping thistle, it’s best to cut it when it reaches 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) long. Typically, this will happen around early June. Don’t let the flowers dry out because they’ll spread thistle seeds. Since thistle can grow roots as deep as 20 ft (6.1 m) deep, it’s easiest to dig it up when it’s just started growing. Use a shovel or trowel to dig up the ground around the root system. Then, remove all of the roots and discard them in the trash.  If the roots already go deep, you'll likely need to use multiple strategies to get rid of your thistles. Dig up as much of the root system as you can. Then, watch the plot and immediately cut down any thistles that sprout back up. Don’t put thistle roots or part of the thistle plant in your compost pile. If you do, it will likely blossom in the compost pile and spread from there. Since thistle needs lots of sunlight to grow, mulching may prevent it from sprouting up. If you don’t mind covering an entire plot, use plastic mulch or pieces of cardboard to cover the thistle patch. If you’re trying to get rid of thistle in a border or flower bed, add several inches of mulch around your plants. This will allow the plants to continue to grow healthily while also choking off the thistles. When you first plant a border or bed, use plastic mulch around the plants to prevent thistle from sprouting up. This will take care of the problem before it starts back up. Thistles need a lot of sunlight and water, so competing plants can sometimes kill them. Grasses, especially alfalfa grass, are an easy option for adding competition to a large area. Sprinkle the grass seed over the plot and let it kill your thistles.  If you leave a plot empty, thistles will continue to grow there because it’s an ideal environment. It’s best to mow the plot...

A mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide may reduce the growth of mold on the seeds. Stir 1.5 teaspoons (7 mL) of 3% hydrogen peroxide into 1 cup (240 mL) water. Keep the rose seeds in this solution for at least one hour.  Some studies suggest that a little mold growth can actually help break down the casing surrounding the seed, but this treatment is still recommended to prevent mold growth in larger amounts. A light dusting of anti-fungal powder for plants is an alternative to this step. Rose seeds typically won't sprout unless they are kept in cold, wet conditions, mimicking a winter environment. Place the seeds between two layers of lightly dampened paper towels, or in a container of dampened salt-free river sand, peat moss, or vermiculite. This is the first step in a process called stratification. If you are using store-bought seeds and the label says they are already stratified, skip to the planting seeds section below. Put the seeds and moist material in a plastic bag or seedling tray in a plastic bag or seedling trays, and keep them in a cold area of a refrigerator, such as an otherwise empty crisper drawer.  Do not keep them in the same area of the refrigerator as fruit or vegetables, which can release chemicals that prevent the seeds from developing. Keep the seed medium slightly damp. Add a few drops of water to each paper towel whenever they begin to dry out. Try to do this around the time that the seeds would normally start to germinate, such as in early spring. Make sure that the environment outside of the fridge is about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The seed will not sprout until you take them out of the fridge. Depending on the rose variety and individual seeds, the seeds could take anywhere from four to sixteen weeks to germinate. Often, 70% or more of the seeds never sprout at all.

TL;DR in English: Soak the seeds in diluted hydrogen peroxide (optional). Place the seeds in a damp material. Leave the seeds in the fridge for several weeks. Remove the seeds from the fridge.

Expect employers to value technical know-how most of all. So don’t fret if the cost of tuition for higher education is beyond your means, because a degree isn’t strictly necessary to find employment. At the same time, though, recognize that technical proficiency coupled with a degree will probably make you stand out over other candidates. Whichever route you choose, put all your emphasis on becoming a proficient programmer. Coasting will only leave you ill-equipped for interviews and the job in question. If you decide on college, be wary about specialized degrees in game programming. Expect these to cover all of the many different aspects of game programming in a relatively short amount of time. Favor a major in Computer Science instead if you aren’t already proficient in the subject.  Each aspect of game programming takes a lot of time to master. Studying computer science in depth is more likely to equip you with the necessary skills to tackle each one, even if those skills aren’t directly applied to games during the course of your studies. If you do consider a specialized degree, research the people who are teaching it. Professors who understand the concepts of game programming, but who have never worked in the field themselves, may not be the best people to learn from. Whether you go to school or teach yourself, aim to master at least one computer language. Focus on C++ to increase your chances of being hired, since this is used the most often in game programming. Other languages that are helpful include:  Actionscript Assembly C Java Objective-C Python Swift Remember: the best way to learn how to do something is to actually do it! Once you learn how to code in computer languages, apply your skills. Build a game from the ground up to grow more familiar with the whole process, from start to finish.

While every successful game is unique in its way, almost all of them fit into a specific genre. Decide what kind of game you want to create, and look at what other games in the same genre do. Some common genres include:  Arcade games Shooters Puzzles Platformers Racing Adventures Endless runners RPGs First-person shooters Third person shooters Story/Manga driven JRPG Visual novels Tower Defense Horror Fighters Comedy Survival The platform that you choose to develop your game will significantly impact the way it is developed. The platform dictates the way the game is controlled; smartphone games are typically touch-and-tilt-based, PC games typically use a keyboard and mouse, and console games use gamepads. Note that most commercial PC games also support Gamepad.  There are exceptions to all these rules, but you will generally find it easier to design the game around a specific control method. If you want to make an iPhone game, you will need to submit it to the Apple store from a Mac computer. However, one exception is the Godot Engine which also allows you to create for iPhone on Linux which is useful if you don't have a Mac.

If you are making wooden coasters, you may want your slices as thick as 0.5 inches (1.3 cm). If you’re making ornaments or other crafts, you might want slices closer to 0.125 inches (0.32 cm). Think about what thickness you need. When using a bandsaw to make thin, small slices from a tree branch, it's best to use a branch that is 6 inches (15 cm) or less in diameter. Different band saws have different capacities, however, so you may want to check the product manual first. Locate a piece of flat scrap wood (such as a 2 x 4). Use your tape measure to determine how far from the blade you need your branch to be. Clamp the piece of wood onto your bandsaw at that distance. The flat edge of the wood will act as a guide for your wood slices.  If you want your slices to be 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) thick, your branch needs to be 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from the blade. If you are right-handed, clamp the guide onto the left side of your saw. If you are left-handed, clamp the guide onto the right side of your saw. Operating a saw and working around fine sawdust can be dangerous. Wear a dust mask or respirator to prevent yourself from breathing in the dust. Goggles will shield your eyes from dust and wood chips. A tree branch is not flat or smooth, which can make it more difficult to cut. Be sure you have a very firm grasp on the branch before you begin cutting. Stop and readjust your grip as needed. Sawing through a knot in the wood can be dangerous. Before you begin, evaluate the branch for knots. Skip over any places where knots are located. Do not attempt to saw through a knot. A knot is a circular area where the wood is condensed. Look for a circle shape that protrudes slightly from the branch. Hold your branch perpendicular to the blade, so that the top of the branch rests against your guide. Maintain a solid grip on the branch as you carefully slide it into the blade. Repeat this until you have enough slices.  You can also use a miter saw for this project, which may allow you to make more precise cuts. It really just depends...

Start a routine of planning out your weekly outcomes on Sunday night. Break down your weekly outcomes into daily outcomes, then list each day’s to-dos beneath them. This way you won’t be running behind as soon as the week starts anymore. Do this planning on paper or whiteboard so you can see what your goals are, rather than trying to tally them all in your mind. The key to an organized mind is writing things down so your brain doesn’t waste energy trying to contain them all. It’s great to have all your tasks and ideas out on paper, but you need to make them mobile and give them room to grow. Adding them to the calendar in your smart device will make the list an automated part of your life, and will provide a platform for you to easily add to it. If you set an alarm for each task, you will be reminded to stay on schedule. If you don’t carry a smartphone or tablet, transfer your new outcomes-and-tasks style of mind organization into your planner. For many of us, our smartphones have become our planners, but if you still carry a paper planner, be sure to get one with a big enough space for each day’s tasks. The advantage of a paper planner over a mobile device is that you just flip it open and everything is mapped out. With a smartphone, you’re having to access the calendar from an app, which means it’s easy to ignore your calendar if you feel like it—which will detract from maintaining an organized mind. At the end of the day when your outcomes have been accomplished, you will feel relieved instead of the way you used to feel—which was probably stressed.  There is evidence that the act of creating and crossing off a to-do list relieves the burden on our brains. Writing down your tasks and goals removes that distraction from your mind.  If you have not completely finished a task or accomplished an outcome at the end of the day or week, calculate an estimated percent of what has been accomplished and write it on your notepad or planner. Your brain will be able to relax even if the task isn’t fully accomplished in...

TL;DR in English: Begin a weekly routine. Set up a schedule on your phone. Fill out a hard copy of your schedule. Check off each completed task and outcome.

To bring focus to your lips and make them appear larger, it helps to use concealer to outline them. Use a very small concealer brush to carefully apply your favorite concealer around the edge of your lipliner. Make sure to carefully blend the concealer into your skin so it looks natural. This technique can also help clean up any mistakes you may have made when applying your lipliner or lipstick. Don’t just use your highlighter to accent your cheekbones -- dab a small amount of your favorite powder or cream highlighter on the small indentation above the center of your top lip known as the cupid’s bow. That will bring light to the area and help your lips appear fuller.  Blend well so the highlight looks natural. Make sure that you apply the highlighter all the way along the groove that runs from your cupid’s bow to the bottom of your nose. You can give the illusion of a fuller bottom lip by using contour powder. Use a small, fluffy brush to lightly dust contour powder or bronzer just beneath the edge of your lower lip. Make sure to blend well for a natural look.

Sleep deprivation can make it a lot harder to prevent your body from shaking. Try to get to bed around the same time every night. Get at least seven hours of sleep if you are an adult, and at least 9 if you are a teenager. If you only practice speaking when you're alone, you're more likely to get anxious when you deliver the speech to an audience. Get as many sessions in as you can in front of friends, family, colleagues, and small groups.  Practice a little every day, but on the night before you deliver the speech, don't practice. Just relax. If you notice that there's a section of the speech that makes you the most nervous, practice it extra. For instance, if you always get nervous right at the beginning, devote extra practice time to the beginning. If you can, spend some time in the place you will give your speech. Practice there if you can. If the location is in your workplace or school, visit it frequently to practice. Relax there as well. If the location won't be accessible until the day of the speech, try to come a little early so you can acclimate to the environment. In the days before the speech, and on the day itself, avoid stressors. Don't talk to anyone who makes you anxious. Take some "me time" every day to do things that relax you, like taking a hot bath, reading a book, or watching a comedy. Running and other forms of vigorous movement can use up your extra adrenaline. Try taking a jog, going for a rapid bike ride, or even dancing out your nerves on the morning before you present. If you can't do something vigorous, take a brisk walk instead. Write down what makes you nervous about a speech. Consider each of them individually. What's the worst that could happen in each case? If it happens, what will you do?  For instance, if you're scared that you'll forget what to say next, think, "I'll just pause and look at my notes." This technique may not work if you are prone to catastrophic thinking. If you are someone who tends to worry about the worst case scenario, don't try this method. Generally...

TL;DR in English: Get a full night's sleep. Practice in front of others. Visit the location of your speech. Focus on relaxing. Exercise before a speech. List the things that you're afraid of. Moderate your caffeine consumption.

You can do this easily if you're doing a quick coverage of gray hair and if the shade varies only slightly from your natural color. Anything more complicated should be handled at a salon.  Rub petroleum jelly around your hairline to keep the dye from staining your skin. Set your timer per the directions on the dye package. Wash the color out immediately and all at once when the timer goes off. If you plan to visit a salon for a dye job, then do not use box dyes. They contain harsh chemicals that can damage your hair.   Deep condition your hair a couple of days before your appointment. Moisturizing your hair will help it to hold color better. Also, if you can hold off, don't shampoo on the day of your appointment.  Bring a picture. You can tell your stylist "strawberry blonde," but he or she might have a very different vision of what that means than you do. A picture clarifies what you want. Keep your hair healthy and moisturized. Dry hair loses color quickly. Protect your hair when you head outside in the sun. Wear a hat or a scarf, or put your hair into a braid or a knot. You can also use products that contain SPF.

Mix 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water in a clean bucket or sink. Make sure that there is enough liquid to completely cover the shrunken wool item. Put the shrunken wool in the vinegar and water bath and mix the water around to agitate it. Then let the wool soak for about 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, take the wool item out of the bath and squeeze it gently to release excess water. Press it with a clean, dry towel to absorb more water. Use your hands to stretch small sections of the shrunken wool until you have stretched the whole garment. Finish by stretching the garment top to bottom and side to side until it is back to its original dimensions. Once the wool is back to its original size, air dry the wool item by hanging it up on a drying rack. After drying, your wool garment or cloth will be as good as new.

Now that you’ve finished creating your instrumental track, it’s time to save it as an MP3 file. ” Now you’ll see a few options for changing MP3-specific details. This is a matter of preference. A higher bit rate MP3 will take up more hard drive space but sound much better. A low bit rate means a smaller file, but it won’t sound as good. Note that since you’re editing a compressed file, you will lose a bit of quality in this process.  For a small file that still sounds amazing, set Bit Rate Mode to “Variable” and select “Best Quality.” This option should work great for almost anyone. If you’re not worried about file size and need the highest possible quality, set the Bit Rate Mode to “Preset” and Quality to 320kbps. This will give you the best quality file Audacity can make. If your goal is the tiniest file possible, set the Bit Rate Mode to “Variable” and choose anything lower than “3” (155-195 kbps). Browse to the folder where you’d like to save the file. ” Audacity will now create your MP3 file and save it to the location you specified. Once the file is saved, you’ll be able to play it any application that supports MP3 files.

Opt for one-syllable words when possible, since these can make your last sentence hold more weight. Additionally, they help you create a feeling of finality.  You might write, "With more funds, the park can give each child a chance to learn and grow." Each of these words contains just one syllable, but it conveys an important final note about the importance of the author's ideas about funding the park. Don’t spend too much time and effort trying to find a one-syllable synonym for every word in the sentence. This isn’t a hard and fast rule—the idea is just to write a concise, punchy sentence. A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses (or sentences) joined together with a coordinating conjunction, which are your FANBOYS. A parallel sentence includes the repetition, or listing, of words or phrases that have the same grammatical structure. For example, "Kate likes reading, writing, and studying."  FANBOYS is an acronym for the conjunctions "for," "and," "nor," "but," "or," "yet," and "so." If you're using a compound sentence, you might write, "The dog food donation program can collect as many as 2,000 bags of food per year, and each shelter will have enough food for every dog." If you're using a parallel structure, write, "The dog food donation program can collect food, feed dogs, and save lives." " Using clichés like these is a big turn-off for readers. They already know they're reading your conclusion because they've reached the end of your paper, so this may feel redundant. These phrases are more appropriate for an oral presentation. Switching tones at the end of your paper can unsettle or confuse your reader, as it will seem out of place. Make sure your attitude toward your topic and the formality of your writing remain the same throughout your paper. For instance, you might think an emotional, dramatic ending will linger with your reader longer. However, that’s not an effective strategy if the body of your paper is logical or analytical. Never bring up a new idea or topic in your conclusion,...

TL;DR in English: Choose simple, one-syllable words for a greater impact. Use a compound or parallel sentence to create a balanced ending. Avoid using opening phrases like "in conclusion" or "in summary. Use the same tone as you did throughout the rest of your paper. Refer only to information you included in your paper. Keep your evidence in the body of your paper. Avoid apologizing for what you’ve written.

Using a test phone call is one of the more reliable indicators as to whether or not someone has blocked you. If you hear exactly one ring and are then sent to voicemail, you may have been blocked. Just because your call goes straight to voicemail doesn't mean you have been blocked. Your contact's phone may be dead. If you receive the same result after calling a couple times, it's a good indicator that the person you're trying to reach has blocked you or has a dead phone. Users are not notified if they are receiving a phone call from a blocked number.

Similar to a point spread in football, the run line is how many runs a team will win by; however, the MLB runline will usually be set at 1.5. The odds will be set based on this number. In some cases there will be alternative run lines set at 2.5 or more. For example, a runline can be seen as Seattle -1 1/2 +140. This means that Seattle must win by at least two or more runs for you to win your bet. The +140 represents the payout odds so if you bet $100, you will win $140. Runlines are different than totals and moneylines. Evenly matched teams may payout better odds but be difficult to handicap. Pitching is a good starting point for your game analysis. Make note of alternate runlines as those are runlines that have been flipped. This makes the favourite the underdog and vice versa. In certain scenarios, like when you feel the underdog has a good chance of covering the runline, you can increase your payout. For example: Team Moneyline Runline Alternate Runline New York Yankees -150 -1.5 (-110) +1.5 (-250) Seattle Mariners +140 +1.5 (+100) -1.5 (+220) Wagering -1.5 on Seattle you receive +220 rather than +100 on a +1.5 runline. Find a legal sports book at your location or online. Keep in mind that most sportsbook set the Runline at 1.5 so research which sportsbook gives the best payout.

TL;DR in English: Understand the runline. Strategize before placing your bet. Place your bet.

As part of your accounting process, you need to perform an annual stocktaking exercise to determine the value of your inventory.  This means making a list, or inventory, of your stock, noting its location and recording its value.  Tools such as barcodes or radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags help you to keep track of your stock.  You can keep track manually by having staff physically count the stock or electronically with stock control software. This is an important part of inventory management, so you will need to develop a schedule for cycle counting. Many inventory management software systems make it easy to cycle count by category or subcategory, so make sure to prepare what you plan to count each time. Each time you perform a cycle count, you will need to:  Close out any open inventory transactions. Restock all of your overstock, understock, or backstock. Account for all of the received purchase orders and inbound transfers in your system. Put away all items. Close and invoice all completed customer orders. Manual systems work best for small businesses with few stock items.  You can choose from two methods for manual inventory control.  The first is known as the two bin inventory control system.  The second system involves creating a descriptive index and using inventory control cards.  For the two bin system, determine a buying cycle for items and the amount purchased in each cycle.  For example, offices may purchase office supplies weekly or monthly.  To begin, purchase enough of the item to last two buying cycles.  Divide the items into two bundles.  When the first bundle is used up, it's time to reorder enough for one buying cycle of the item.  Materials from the second bundle are used while the materials are being reordered. For the second system, create an index that lists all of the items in inventory and a file of cards for each item.  On each card, record an item description.  When an item is purchased or reordered, someone records the amount received, the unit price and other information...

TL;DR in English: Perform regular stocktaking. Make sure to include cycle counting. Use a manual method. Use computer software.

Your non-padded bra should fit comfortably and correctly. Wearing a padded bra while taking the measurement can prevent an accurate measurement. If you don’t have a non-padded bra, you can purchase a cheap one at stores like Walmart and Target. Take the inch side of a measuring tape and place it firmly around your body just underneath your breasts and below your armpits. Keep your arms as close as possible to your body to get an accurate measurement of your band size. If this becomes too difficult for you to do yourself, ask a friend to help. Look in the mirror to make sure that the tape is parallel to the floor along your back and breasts. You shouldn’t have any fingers underneath the measuring tape. To get the most accurate band size, round the number up to the closest whole number and then add five to allow room for the increase in bust size as your pregnancy progresses. For instance, if the measurement you obtain is 39.5 inches (100.3 cm), rounding up to the nearest whole number is 40. Adding 5 inches (12.7 cm) would mean that your band size is 45 inches (114.3 cm).

After scooping your head in a round, upward motion and arching your back, straighten your arms, lift your torso, and look upwards. Your hips should be down towards the floor, but not touching the floor. At this point, you have pretty much completed the Hindu push-up, but you still need to return to the starting position. To return to the starting position, lower your torso and lift your hips to return to the V position; use your abs and gluteus maximus, i.e., your butt muscles, to bring your backside up into the air. As you push back to the starting position, inhale deeply through your nose, and exhale through your mouth as you reach the V position. To return to the starting position, you do not need to reverse back through the sweeping, arching motion. Simply push back into the starting position. If you are a beginner, it is recommended that you do as many push-ups or repetitions as you are able to, for example, 3 or 5 repetitions is fine. If you need to rest during the exercise, take a break in the starting V position. As you become better you can add more sets and repetitions. For example, you can do 2 sets of 3 repetitions or push-ups. If you are more advanced, you can do more sets with more repetitions. For example, 3 sets with 8 to 10 push-ups or repetitions. These push-ups should be done seamlessly in a sweeping motion without delay between each part.

TL;DR in English: Straighten your arms and look up. Return to the starting position. Repeat.

If you want to use this method, you'll need to make sure that there is enough space in between the head tension bracket hooks to thread the strap completely through. You can use this method for most bluegrass banjos, especially those with a one-piece flange, but open back banjos and beginner banjos may not have enough space and will require a different technique. Position the banjo in your lap so that the neck faces straight up and the strings face toward you. The neck of the banjo should represent the "12 o'clock" position of the instrument.

Avoiding dairy isn't as simple as no longer drinking milk. Dairy is used in many different foodstuffs to give it a better taste. As such, you'll need to read food labels. Most foods that use some form of dairy, will list “milk” as an additive. The FDA requires that milk be listed under its provision for allergies. If milk isn't listed as an ingredient, you should be ok. You'll want to look for casein and whey as well. Both of these additives are proteins found in cow's milk and make their way into a variety of foods. Whey is used in a variety of products from muscle building supplements to canned chicken broth. This is often the hardest dairy category to give up because we are conditioned to enjoy milk with so many different foods. It becomes a part of our daily activities. Here are some of the most common milk- and cream-based foods:  Milk (whole, 50/50, skim, or condensed milk) Heavy whipping cream Custards Coffee creamer Cream sauces and soups Ice cream, gelatos, and sherbets (sorbets contain no dairy products) Yogurts Some mayonnaise, mustard, and other condiments Non-dairy coffee creamer. Casein is an animal byproduct so it won't work for vegans. Check the labels of your products before you buy to ensure they don't contain butter or margarine. Butter is made by separating cream from whole milk. The cream is then churned until it thickens.  Some nutritionists claim that butters are the least harmful form of dairy to those with dairy allergies or lactose processing problems. Most people who face these issues have problems with the proteins found in milk. Since butter is 80 to 82 percent fat and contains relatively little protein, it doesn't tend to bother patients with dairy problems. For vegans, there are many margarines made without any cow byproducts. Check the label to make sure they don't contain whey, casein, or lactose. Cheeses in all forms constitute dairy. Obviously, you'll want to skip sliced cheeses on your sandwiches. Main dishes like pizza, burritos, tacos, and casseroles have cheeses in them....

Cantaloupes, also known as muskmelons, are available in dozens of cultivated and heirloom varieties, and grow best in hot weather, at least 2-3 months of consistent warmth. Cantaloupes love very sandy and loamy soil with good drainage, and a pH of around 6.  Varieties good for cooler climates include Hale's Best, Sarah's Choice, and Eden's Gem. Varieties noted for their flavor include Hearts of Gold, Ambrosia, Athena, and Honey Bun. Pay particular attention to the time to maturity listed on the seed package. Most of the time, you won't buy cantaloupe starts, you'll purchase seeds and start them yourself. On the seed package, pay particular attention to planting advice and information about keeping them safe, and pay particularly close attention to the length of time to maturation. If you want to save cantaloupe seeds from a particularly-delicious melon for planting, scoop them from the flesh and soak them for two days in cool water, then dry them thoroughly on a paper towel. Store them in a clean, dry jar in a cool, dark environment until you're ready to start your melons. While viable for around two years, it's usually best to plant seeds within the year. The most important part of planting and growing cantaloupe is warm soil and enough space. The vines need some room to spread out, regardless of whether you plan on trellising or letting the melons mature on the ground, so you'll need a fairly wide bed, depending on how large a crop you're going to plant. It's a common misconception and fear that cantaloupes will cross with other members of the same family, including cucumbers, other melons, squash, and pumpkins. They won't. Don't worry about planting your vining fruits in the same area of your garden plot. Most strange or bland-flavored cantaloupe is not the result of accidental cross-breeding, but the result of environmental factors or other problems. Lay compost or well-rotted manure evenly on your planting bed to create a rich feeding area for the cantaloupe. 6-8 inches of well-tilled soil is...

TL;DR in English: Select a hardy variety appropriate for your climate. Select an appropriate location for cantaloupe. Prepare the soil. Consider starting cantaloupe indoors. In your plot, create mounds for planting. Plant your cantaloupe.

This will make it easier to build. After you attach all of the posts and insert the ladder into the hole, you will need to measure the top and bottom of the ladder to make sure that they are evenly spaced. Then cement the ladder. Saw the board to 45-46” (1.1-1.2 m) so that it’s just the right length to bridge the gap between the vertical supports and complete the frame, which is 42" (1 m) wide. Line up the ends of the 2x6 with the outer edges of the posts and nail or screw it down at both ends. This piece will serve as the upper portion of the frame.  You'll need to stand on a ladder or step stool while affixing the top piece and individual rungs. Buying precut lumber will save you some time, if you don’t mind paying a little extra. That way, all you’ll have to do is assemble the individual pieces once you get them home. Your starting point on the Salmon Ladder will be decided primarily by your unique stature. You want it to be low enough to climb safely and comfortably, but not so low that you’re forced to stoop or crouch to get in position. Once you’ve decided on the optimal placement for the first set of rungs, space every next set 12" (30 cm) apart.  A good way to determine where to put the lowest rungs is to reach up along the frame with one hand (without stretching too far) and draw a line on the side of the post. Measure and mark each set separately and use a flat board or straight edge to make sure they’re evenly aligned. 12” (30 cm) rung spacing is the official standard used for the American Ninja Warrior course, but yours can be more or less as you see fit.  For beginners, 6" (15 cm) rung spacing can be helpful for learning how to do the Salmon Ladder. Starting on one end of the 2x4, draw a line at a 30-35 degree angle every 12” (30 cm). Saw the board along these lines to fashion the individual rungs for the ladder. Keep in mind that you’ll need an even number of rungs, one for each side.  If you are spacing your rungs at 6" (15 cm), then you will need to draw your lines every 6" (15 cm) instead of...

Take a cutting from an herb plant between spring and fall, when the plants are healthy and growing steadily. Avoid cuttings on plants that are currently flowering. Focus on cuttings from new growth, rather than old growth. Avoid cuttings from plants that have been overly fertilized. Water herb plants thoroughly at least 12 hours before taking cuttings.

A selfie of yourself standing before a mirror with your phone visible is now a cliche. Turn the phone around and take the picture for better results. Most recent smartphones can take a picture so that you can see what’s being taken in the screen.  You can also try propping your phone or camera against something and using the timer feature to take your picture. Even a selfie stick can help you take a more flattering picture. If you must take a picture in front of a mirror, hold the phone/camera at shoulder height and tilt it upwards. If you zoom in enough, this will keep the phone/camera out of the picture. Your face against a white background can seem a little boring. Try taking your picture in front of natural scenery, your work environment, or even a colored background. Don’t make the background too busy, however, If your profile picture is of you at a concert, your face might be lost in the crowd. You want to find a balance between a picture that is too dark and one that is too bright. It’s hard to take a good picture at night, and daylight between 11 pm and 1 pm is typically too harsh for good pictures. Try to take your profile picture in the morning or around sunset.  Natural light is thought to be best for pictures. You can take a good profile picture with indoor light, however. Just position yourself so that the light source is not shining directly on you. If you have to use flash, try to get someone to take the picture of you so that the flash won’t reflect too strongly off of your body.

TL;DR in English: Don’t take the picture in front of a mirror. Include some attractive scenery. Take the picture in good lighting.

Many herbs slow down growth when temperatures begin to drop, so cuttings taken during cooler weather may not root. The cutting is not likely to root strongly while flowering because the plant's energy is focused on the flowers, not the root. If you do take a cutting from an herb that is flowering, remove the flowers from the cutting before propagating. The new growth on most herbs is lighter in color and higher up on the plant. The new growth is most likely to root because the stems aren't as hard. If a plant has been heavily fertilized to stimulate growth, it is unlikely a cutting will take root. Rather, take cuttings from healthy plants that are growing steadily without the need for excessive fertilizer. Well saturated plants are likely to produce healthy cuttings.

The ability to create a cartoon character. Make sure that the character you are deburring is locked in place. Turn on the deburring tool. Place the deburring tool against the edge. Go over the area two or three times. Check the edges to ensure all burrs have been removed.

Study other character designs for inspiration. Write a list of interests and character traits you want to include. Make a list of features that you can exaggerate for your character. Choose distinctive details for your character to make it unique. Select colors that communicate the character’s personality. Add accessories to your character to emphasize their traits.

After you have selected the appropriate attachment for the job, attach the piece to your deburring tool. You may need to consult your user’s manual to determine how to attach the piece. Make sure that the attachment is locked securely in place before you switch it on. While some larger objects might stay put on their own, it will be difficult (and unsafe) to deburr a smaller item that is not secured in place. For example, a piece of furniture may not need to be secured, but a piece of wood or a pipe will need to be secured in place. Try using a vice to secure smaller items and prevent them from moving around as you deburr them. Next, pick up your deburring tool and hold it firmly by the handle. Then, switch on your deburring tool when you are ready to use it. You may want to start out by using the lowest setting and then increase the speed if necessary. Hold the tool so that it is right up against the edge you wish to deburr. For example, if you are deburring the edge of a piece of wood, then place the tool right up against the edge. You do not need to press hard to deburr the item, just ensure that the tool makes contact with the edge of the object you are deburring. To ensure that the edge is completely deburred, it may be necessary to go over it with the deburring tool two or three times. Start at one end and move all the way to the end, or select a starting point if you are deburring a circular item.  If you are deburring a pipe or other circular area, then you may just have to let the deburring tool rotate two or three times. If you are deburring an edge, then you will need to drag the tool back and forth across the area two or three times. After you have finished deburring the item, remove the tool and turn it off. Then, check the edges of the area you just deburred to ensure that you got all of the larger burrs.  If there are still some burrs left, then you can always go over it again. You can also sand the edges of the area you just deburred to ensure that it is nice and smooth. Use a fine grit...

TL;DR in English: Secure your attachment. Make sure that the object you are deburring is locked in place. Turn on the deburring tool. Place the deburring tool against the edge. Go over the area two or three times. Check the edges to ensure all burrs have been removed.

Research your cartoon character design by studying other characters that you admire or animation styles that you enjoy. Take note of defining features, the line quality, the color schemes, and any other artistic styles that are used to bring the character to life so you can include them in your own design.  Read comic books that tell stories with the characters so you can see how they change with different emotions, angles, and actions. Find a cartoon artist whose style you like and look at their character designs to inspire your own work. Brainstorm character design ideas by jotting down a list of hobbies, interests, and personality traits that you want your character to reflect. Write them out on a piece of paper and narrow them down to the key traits that you want to include in your cartoon character.  Your cartoon character’s personality should help guide the way they look. For example, if your character plays football and loves to tell jokes, then they would look different than a character that loves to read poetry and listen to classical music. Choose key details to embellish that will highlight the personality traits of your character. As you’re coming up with your character, think about features that can really bring out their personality without having to say it out loud.  Cartoon characters are meant to be larger than life, with details and traits that are exaggerated and dramatic. For instance, if your character is bookish and shy, then maybe their eyes are sunken and are always looking down. Exaggerated details can illustrate your character’s traits without saying them out loud. For example, a broad chest and strong jaw can make your character seem strong and brave without having to explicitly state it. Use specific features and details to set your cartoon characters apart from others and to bring out their personality. You can also choose to use specific tropes or features to define your cartoon style, such as the Simpson’s yellow skin, that will allow people to immediately recognize your...

Gross profit is your total revenue earned from your goods or services, minus the cost of producing or providing those goods or services (COGS). This calculation does not include expenses like payroll, rent, or utilities; it only considers the cost directly related to creating those goods and services. Gross profit margin is the gross profit divided by revenues.  Net profit takes all business expenditures into account and is calculated as gross profit minus administrative expenses and other relevant expenses. This includes regular operational costs (payroll, rent, etc.) and one-time costs (taxes, contractor invoices, etc.). You must also include any additional earnings, such as investment income.  Net profit provides a more complete and detailed rendering of the business health and is generally what is used to manage the business. The steps below detail how to find this number. Net profit is also known as "the bottom line." To calculate your business's profit margin, choose the period of time you want to analyze. Generally, people use either months, quarters, or years to calculate their profit margins. Consider why you want to calculate your margins. If you are applying for loans or looking to attract investors, these people will want to know more than just how your business did over a single month. However, if you're comparing your profit margin between different months for your own purposes, it's fine to use shorter periods of time. Revenue is everything the business brings in through sale of goods, services, or earnings of interest.  If your business only sells goods, such a retail shop or restaurant, your total revenue is all the sales you had during the period you've chosen to analyze minus any returns or discounts. If you don't already have this figure on hand, multiply the total number of items you sold by the price of each of those items and then adjust for returns and discounts. Similarly, if your business provides services, such as lawn mowing, your total revenue is all of the amounts you collected...

TL;DR in English: Know the difference between gross profit, gross profit margin, and net profit. Determine your calculation period. Calculate the total revenue generated by your business during the calculation period. Subtract all your expenses to calculate your net income. Divide your net income by the total revenue you already calculated.

Writing lyrics can be tough, but, if you've gotten this far, you're doing well. Kurt wasn't a "I'm going to start at point A, then go to point B, and end with point C," kind of writer, he was a "here's a bunch of pieces of songs that I'm going to throw together," kind of writer. Kurt's lyrics were also often filled with metaphors and confusing. Sometimes, he would write a song that was direct (i.e. "Polly," "Rape Me."), but only occasionally.

Inspect the leaves of your orchid to ensure it’s healthy enough to prune. Watch for new flowers to develop in 8-12 weeks.

Gain confidence in who you are. Life will be much easier when you have the courage to appreciate your self-worth. This doesn't mean becoming self-absorbed. It means taking care of yourself and respecting that you are a precious being like everyone else.   Look for things you like about yourself. Whether you are looking in the mirror or just thinking about your personality, focus on the positive. Be kind to yourself. Do something you enjoy or eat a special meal once in awhile. Be proud of your personality and preferences. From nerd to jock, from athletic to bookworm, you are unique and it's important to honor the expression that fits you rather than squeezing yourself into someone else's expectations. Your main responsibility as a teen is probably schoolwork. While there are many social and emotional distractions, remember that your education is meant to help you in the future. Develop good study habits. Long hours of study don't necessarily show results unless you're studying wisely. Study in a place where you will be most productive and with minimal distractions. Use flashcards, memory games, or review sheets to reinforce new information. Remember to take breaks and stay positive! Keep your mind and body active by eating healthy foods every day. Your body is still growing, and you need to nourish it along the way. A balanced diet includes a large number of vegetables, fruits, proteins, and grains. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and sweets. Remember to eat your three meals per day, especially breakfast.   Do not overeat. Overeating, especially eating junk foods, can cause health problems in the future. If you have a problem with overeating or weight gain, seek help from a doctor or nutritionist.

If the base of the plant has glossy, green, firm leaves, then it is healthy enough for pruning. However, if the leaves are yellow, brown, dry, or limp, then the plant is not healthy enough for pruning. Give the plant a chance to get healthy before you prune it.Make sure that you wait until all of the flowers have shriveled or fallen off before trimming to encourage new flowers to grow. The speed at which your orchid will flower again will depend on its overall health, climate, and care. However, in general you can expect new flowers to bloom about 8 to 12 weeks after you prune your orchid.If no flowers bloom within 8 to 12 weeks, try lowering the ambient temperature where your orchid is located by 5 °F (−15 °C). This may help to stimulate new growth.

See your doctor regularly to manage your asthma symptoms.

Once you have friends, you should take steps to maintain your friendships. Gaining good friends is difficult and you do not want to have to start at square one if you start losing friends over time. You should always make an effort to spend quality time with your friends, doing things you both enjoy. This way, you and your friends have fun and you also build memories and share experiences together.  For example, if you know your friend is a big fan of a certain comic book character, you may get her a pass to see the creator of the character at next year’s Comic-Con. Or, you may treat your friend to a night out at their favorite restaurant. Doing nice things for your friends and making your time together meaningful will show them how much you value their friendship. Don't get into the habit of waiting to be invited to do things with your friends. Invite your friends to do something fun. Sometimes people become complacent and wait around for an invitation when instead they should take the initiative to plan and invite their friends to something. Try asking your friend something like, "Are you around on Friday night? Do you want to see a movie or go to the football game?" Or you can ask, "Do you want to get together sometime this weekend? I would love to see you!" You can also be a good friend by supporting and cheering on your friends when they need you. You should make an effort to keep up with what your friends are interested in and their goals. Supporting your friend’s goals and aspirations will show them that you can be there for them and are on their side. You may have friends who play sports and attend their games to show your support. Or you may have friends who do the performing arts and attend their performances so they have a familiar, friendly face in the crowd. A good friend will also be honest. You should try to be okay with constructive criticism and feedback from your friends, especially if they have your best interests at heart. You should be willing, to be honest with your friends and accept...

When you're growing a plant from a seed, it can help to germinate the seed first, because this will increase the chances of it taking root in the ground.  Place the seeds in a small bowl and fill it with warm water. Let the seeds sit in the water for 24 hours.  After 24 hours, drain the water. On each seed, use your nail to gently pick away a small portion of the seed covering. Note that wisteria should be planted outdoors in the spring or fall, so make sure you start the germination process about six weeks before you want to transplant it outside. Fill a seed starter most of the way with potting soil and place one or two wisteria seeds on top of the soil in each pod. Make sure the seeds are on their sides. Cover them with one-quarter inch of potting soil. Place the seed trays in a warm, bright room. Add some water to the soil, and keep it moist for the duration of the sprouting time. Keep the seeds warm and moist while they germinate, and give them lots of natural light. The seeds should sprout within 10 to 30 days. Before you can transplant the sprouts, make sure they are at least four to five inches tall, and have a couple leaves on each stalk.

TL;DR in English: Germinate the seeds. Plant the seeds in a seed starter. Allow the seeds to sprout.

If your divorce is contested or communication breaks down during the divorce process, you can let the court craft the terms of the buy-out and force your ex-spouse to comply with documentation, deed, and asset transfer requirements.  It is better to make every effort to work it out with your spouse, even if you have to split the cost and sit down with an attorney to craft an equity buy-out agreement. The court's decision will not take personal feelings, market conditions, and future plans into account. The result may be a blunt force order with end results that don't work well for either party. If refinancing with a cash payment is the best option, you will need to time the new mortgage correctly. If you live in a community property state, refinancing can be complicated unless you wait until the divorce is final. If you must refinance immediately, consult a real estate attorney about the ramifications of community property laws on the transaction. Unless handled correctly, the refinanced loan could be considered a joint debt, defeating the purpose of the equity split. Both names remain on the deed and the loan, but the spouse who is staying in the house takes over the payments and receives credit for the additional equity that accrues during the co-ownership. Assuming you have the income and credit needed to refinance, you will have several different loan options to consider.   A conventional rate/term refinance trades the old mortgage for a new one. The balance of the old mortgage becomes the new loan amount. The problem with this type of loan is that you will have to come up with the cash to pay your spouse for his share of the equity.   A cash-out refinance allows you to finance a combination of the outstanding balance and the equity, receiving a cash payment. This type of loan requires a favorable loan-to-value ratio and solid credit.  There may be extra fees or a higher interest rate for this type of loan. If your ex-spouse is comfortable with his name remaining on the existing mortgage, you can take a...

Before attempting any double-spins or pirouettes of any kind, it's important to get loosened up to avoid injury. Warm up your neck, shoulders, arms, back, sides, and legs before dancing with a long stretching routine. A nimble, loose neck will aid your equilibrium and balance when spotting and spinning. A loose torso will help you stay grounded and centered.  Warmed up legs will provide the necessary support you need and reduce the possibility of cramping. The most important three body parts for a good turn are your neck, shoulders, and legs. This side of your body will be referred to as your "spin" foot, and the corresponding leg, arm, and side will also be referred to as the "spin" side. The other side of your body will be referred to as your "lift" side. Begin standing with your spin foot in front of your lift foot, in a wide, balanced position, with most of your weight on your spin foot.  Place your spin arm at chest-height in front of you, with relaxed, bent elbow, so your spin forearm is parallel with your stomach. Your lift arm should be extended directly out from your side, in line with your torso, not too far back or too far forward. The lift arm will provide the majority of your spinning power by swinging it in front of your body. This is your spot point. Keep your eyes fixed on this spot throughout the entire motion.  Practice spotting by stepping slowly in a circular motion in one spot. Keep your eyes on one spot at eye level, on the wall or landscape directly in front of you. Keep your eyes there until your turning motion forces you to spin your head. If your head is level, the spotting motion will keep you from becoming overly dizzy or losing balance.  Even with proper spotting, a slight dizzy feeling can be expected during a double spin. Minimize this by keeping your neck and shoulders loose, and turning your head in a full circle as quickly as possible. The faster your body spins, the easier it is to spot properly.

TL;DR in English: Warm up. Choose which foot you will be spinning on. Place your feet and hands properly. Find a spot directly in front of you at eye level.

If you have a friend who recently went platinum or underwent another dramatic hair color change, ask for the name of her hair stylist. You can also ask friends and family for recommendations on hair salons and stylists who they think might be able to make you a platinum blonde without too much damage.  You can also check out reviews of salons online to narrow your choices down. Look for salons that have high ratings from their customers. If you get some recommendations, check out the stylists Instagram or other social media feeds where they post photos of their work. If your regular stylist has experience with platinum blonde coloring, then you might simply go for a consultation with them. However, if you do not currently have a stylist or your stylist has expressed discomfort with taking you to this color, then call around to find someone who has experience turning people into platinum blondes. Try saying something like, “I want to go platinum blonde without too much damage to my hair, and my current hair color is ____. Do any of your stylists have experience with this type of situation?” After you find someone who has experience, you can make a consultation appointment. Sometimes you can just drop into the salon and see the stylist between clients, but it is best to ask first.  Try saying something like, “I would like to stop in and talk with the stylist before I make an appointment. Do I need to make a consultation appointment, or can I just stop by when the stylist is working?” Make sure to bring picture with you to your consultation so you can show the stylist what you want your hair to look like. Before you decide to make your first hair appointment with a stylist, it is a good idea to ask questions. This will help you to get a sense of how much experience the stylist has and how comfortable you feel trusting your hair to them.  How many times have you taken someone from a shade similar to mine to a platinum blonde shade? What process did you use to get the desired color without causing too much damage?...

You can find sample questions by visiting the official IELTS website: https://www.ielts.org/en-us/about-the-test/sample-test-questions. There are also lots of downloadable practice exams online. These exams and questions will familiarize you with the format of the exam. Getting comfortable with the types of recordings and questions you’ll face is key to improving your score. The British Council, for example, has a practice exam available here: https://takeielts.britishcouncil.org/prepare-test/free-sample-tests/listening-sample-test-1/listening-section-1. If you feel more comfortable studying in a structured, classroom environment, a test preparation course may be right for you. Be aware that if you choose in-person instruction, these classes can get pricey. You may need to spend some time saving up or budgeting if you feel you need a class to pass the IELTS exam. For example, an official IELTS test preparation course administered by an English Language Center (ELC) in Boston or Los Angeles costs $445 USD per week, and it last 4-7 weeks. If you choose a less accelerated program (24-47 weeks, for example), instruction costs $385 USD per week. Online courses will generally be less expensive (and may sometimes be available for free!) than classroom instruction. However, you’ll receive less one-on-one interaction with your instructor(s) and fellow classmates. Still, this is a good option if you feel like a course will help you develop a structured study plan.  The British Council provides access to a free online preparation seminar. Go online to find enrollment dates for this class.  You’ll be able to find 8-week online prep courses for about $100 USD. Especially if you’re not enrolled in a class, it’s a good idea to get a test prep booklet. The CD contains samples of the Listening exam. The booklet also provides examples of examiner comments on responses. Reading these comments will help you understand what the test-givers are looking for in a correct answer.

Having your own job builds positive character and will help you mature. Even if parents give you money, earning your own paycheck puts you on a path to success by giving you the opportunity to learn time management, job responsibility, leadership skills, team work, and life skills in the real world. Also, earning your own paycheck puts money in your pockets, and what you do with your earnings is up to you. Allowances, gifts, and paychecks will be your sources of income as a teenager. Learning to manage money starts with tracking how you spend that income. Create a money diary where you write down all of your spending for a given time period, either weekly, monthly, or yearly. Then, evaluate what you spend by deciding what is needed (such as gas, car insurance, phone bill) and what is entertainment (such as movie tickets, personal items, going out). Creating this diary will help you visualize where your money goes and can set you on the track to create a budget and savings. Once you earn money, it is very tempting to use it immediately. And as a teenager, it is easy to neglect saving money. In order to be more successful, learn that money can be saved for more-important spending opportunities. To help you save, open up a bank account. Banks can give many opportunities to teenagers. Get advice and research first before opening any accounts. Once you have one, figure out a monthly budget that will help you put aside money. When you start off, more than likely a co-signer or parent will have access to your account activity. Use this as a learning opportunity and ask for them to keep you in check of what you spend. Buying is almost always easier than saving. Small purchases can take a toll on your savings, and more often than not, those purchases could have been avoided. These impulse purchases are difficult for both teenagers and adults, so controlling these impulses at a young age helps ensure better money management throughout your life. Put yourself to the test and wait to buy items. Oftentimes, giving...
