Insert the needle through the wrong (back) side of the canvas. Choose a space at the top left of your canvas or at the top left of a block of color. Bring the needle through a space on the right (front) side of the canvas that is diagonally-adjacent to the stitch on the right side. Then, repeat the same stitch to create a stitch alongside your first stitch.  Work from left to right in a row across the canvas, and then work the stitch back along the row in the opposite direction. As you sew the second row, the second diagonal stitch should go through a space that already has thread going through it. This will help to reduce the visible canvas behind the thread. Insert the needle into the space where you want to begin working the continental stitch. Then, bring the needle up diagonally and down through the stitch adjacent and to the right of that stitch. Then, come up through the next space in the row beside where you started the stitch.  Continue to work across the row going from right to left. Then, work back along the next row going from left to right. Make sure to insert the needle through spaces that already have 1 stitch in them on your second row. Work this stitch diagonally starting at the top right hand corner of the area. Bring the needle down through the space that is diagonal to this space. Then, bring the needle back up through the space that is diagonally adjacent to this stitch, and repeat the stitch. This stitch creates a pyramid like stitch design. It allows good coverage of the canvas with the least distortion and should be used in large areas. Insert your needle through the canvas where you want to begin the stitch. Bring the thread all the way through the canvas and pull it taut. Then, insert the needle into the second stitch up from where you brought the needle out. Bring the needle back through the canvas next to where you started the first stitch.  Use a thick thread, yarn, or multi-strand piece of embroidery floss to create the brick stitch. You can also try the Bargello or long point...

TL;DR in English: Do a half-cross stitch for a simple stitch that covers a small area. Use the continental stitch to provide more coverage over an area. Try basketweave stitch to provide full coverage over large areas. Do the brick stitch for a vertical stitch with good coverage.

Is Captain America your idea of a virtuous hero? Or do you prefer the wily tactics and sinuous stealth of Black Widow or Catwoman? Maybe your taste runs more toward Harry Potter or Elizabeth from "Pride and Prejudice." Whatever you decide, make sure your costume is something you'll enjoy representing. These are some examples of characters you can portray for Halloween, taken from well-known books, movies and music: Cruella de Vil, Elsa, Flash Gordon, Spider-man, Luke Skywalker, Shrek or Fiona, Elvis, Belle or the Beast, an Egyptian mummy, Dorothy or another character from "The Wizard of Oz," Cinderella, Snow White, Aladdin, Captain Hook or Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, the Cat in the Hat, Mary Poppins, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, a witch or a vampire. If you choose to dress up as Elvis, for example, think of what people associate most with the King of Rock 'n' Roll. A white jumpsuit with colorful rhinestones would look great with some matching platform shoes. And don't forget that shiny black hair!

This will add to the fun of the party. Let your kid help you decide or surprise them based on their interests. You could do a sports theme or a certain color scheme, you could incorporate their favorite superhero or tv show. The possibilities are endless! Go to a local party store and see what options they have. A lot of times, you can find all of the decor you need that goes with your theme. They might have table cloths, plates, cups, and even goodies that will set a very fun tone for the party. It is important to protect the table from spills or other incidents. You could use a tablecloth that goes with the theme of their party. The kids will love it and it will make your life much easier. Consider using a plain sheet of paper as a table covering. Then place crayons on the table so that the kids can draw and enjoy themselves as they wait for food. You probably don’t want to give your best china to a five year old! If it is a casual birthday party, paper and plastic utensils are perfectly acceptable. If it is a more formal party such as a holiday party that requires a kids’ table, try to tie in the theme of the adult table so that they feel included. You could use the same napkins as the adult table and perhaps even the same tablecloth. That way it will every bit as important as the adult table. This also depends on the age of the kids and the style of the party. Use your judgment to know what they can handle. For young children, use plastic cups instead of glasses and don’t set knives out. Especially if it is a kid’s birthday party, try to make it special. Include a noise maker or funny hats or a small game. Even a little pouch of treats for each child will put a big smile on their face. It is a party, after all.

Know your surroundings. Know the enemy's strength. Learn how can you set up an impenetrable defense. Get to know your units. If you play U.S.A or China, always have your airforce at your disposal. When attacking, maintain a good formation of your units to assure minimal losses. Before attacking an enemy base, heavily bombard it with bombs. When the enemy is engaged in an offensive against you, if you can, try to intercept them and powder them if you can. Watch out for booby traps, land mines and any traps. When building your base, don't let the structures be built too closely to each other. If possible, provide air support to your units at all times.

Have kids learn the proper way to breathe when freestyle swimming through repetition. Before getting in the pool for a lesson, have them practice breathing in through their mouth, then breathing out through their nose. Repeat this exercise until the children get used to the pattern . Let children understand the proper arm strokes for freestyle swimming by acting it out for them and letting them copy you. Lift one arm with the other by your side and bend the wrist of the extended arm downward. Make a propeller motion with this one, then repeat with the other arm. Show kids how to cup their hands during each stroke. Crossover, or overlapping strokes, is a common problem for beginner swimmers. To help children grasp how to swim in a straight line, ask them to picture a vertical line running down the center of their body. Demonstrate how, with each stroke, their hand must enter the water without crossing over to the other side of their body. Pointing your toes and keeping your legs straight help to propel you through the water when swimming. When you are all outside of the pool, give the kids a demonstration on how to point your toes when swimming and have the kids imitate what you do. Later, when they are in the water, have the kids practice pointing their toes and extending their legs while kicking so they get used to doing it. Keeping your back straight while swimming is important to help avoid crossover and injury. Show kids how to improve their posture by having them pull their shoulders back, stomach in, and push their chest forwards. Have them bring their arms up in a "T" or "V" shape and hold this position for 10 seconds. Repeat this 5 times. A big part of swimming is being alert and knowing the right moves, so it is important to go over the theoretical part of swimming with kids. Review everything from basic safety rules, like never swimming without a grownup, to rules about what to do when swimming. Quiz children who are old enough to communicate what they have learned.

Knowing your environment is a key point towards your victory in a battle especially when we are talking about skirmish conflicts. Be familiar of your surroundings; where is the possible ground zero of your enemy? Determine where the resources are. Scout for areas where you can set your flank to defend your base. Observe the enemy's possible route when performing offensive operations. Search for safe areas where you can settle your troops. A good commander doesn't make a move without knowing the environment of his battlefield. A good general never underestimates his enemy. Is the enemy using toxins? Is the enemy good at stealth? Does your enemy have a large amount of tanks in his disposal? What are the strengths of the enemy? How can you exterminate them without a lot of casualties? Determine the behavior and the capability of your enemy before making any operations. Defense is important and you are playing blind when you don't know how to set a good defense. Once your defenses are good. You are impenetrable and the possibility of getting defeated decreases. Determine their strengths and weaknesses. Know when you are going to use them. Know their strengths. For example, are they good at tank busting? Good at anti-aircraft busting? All units must move by placing them in strategic positions.. It is good both in offensive and defensive operations.  Destroy its defenses to assure minimal casualties once the offensive team arrives. That way, they won't go far deep in your defenses. This strategy is good for generals who want adhesive actions. This might harm a lot of your units, so a good general sends out scouts first before letting their units on a patrol. When an air raid happens, you'll lose a lot.

TL;DR in English:


De-clutter the room. Wash all bedding and clothing at high temperatures, and store them in plastic bags or bins to prevent re-infestation. Place everything you washed into plastic bins with tight fitting lids the instant you take them out of the dryer. Vacuum everything several times a week. Dispose of the vacuum cleaner bag properly. Consider using a steam cleaner. Don't keep items that you can't salvage.

To get the best benefit from your steam treatment, start by washing your face. That will allow the steam to penetrate deeper into your pores, helping flush out dirt and oils that may have gotten trapped inside. If your skin is dry or you’re prone to rosacea, you may not want to use steam. It can potentially dry out your skin and worsen redness. Find a large pot, like the one you’d use for pasta or making a big batch of soup, and fill it about 2/3 of the way full of water. Place the pot on the stove on high heat, and bring the water just to a boil. Avoid filling the pot all the way to the top. It might boil over, and it will be hard to move the pot without spilling any water. Try to find a place where you can comfortably sit, stand, or kneel when you’re deciding where to place the pot. However, make sure to place a folded towel beneath it so the hot pot doesn’t scorch whatever surface you use. For instance, you might want to kneel in a chair at your dining table, or you might want to place the pot on your bathroom counter. Take a large, thick towel and drape it over the top of your head, but arrange it so it doesn’t cover your face. This will help trap the steam, allowing more of it to come into contact with your skin. A thick towel will hold in the steam better than a thin one, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Lower your face toward the pot so the towel is draped down on either side of it. Do not hold your face any closer than 18 in (46 cm) from the water or you may scald your skin. Aim for about 20 to 24 in (51 to 61 cm) away from the water. Stay there for about 5 minutes, or 10 if you’re comfortable enough.  If you’re too uncomfortable to hold your face 20 to 24 in (51 to 61 cm) from the water, it’s fine to back up a little.  Contrary to popular opinion, steam does not open your pores. It relaxes the muscles under your skin and makes it easier to clean, so it can help you get out dirt that’s trapped deep inside. Steaming your face can flush out dirt and oils onto the surface of your skin. In...

TL;DR in English: Wash your face with your favorite cleanser. Fill a large stockpot with water and heat it to a boil. Place the pot on a heat-safe mat or folded towels. Drape a towel over your head. Hold your face as close to the steam as you can for 5-10 minutes. Wash your face again with a gentle cleanser. Moisturize your face to counteract any dryness caused by the steam.

Get rid of anything you no longer want or need. Put them in plastic bags, and throw them away. This will make it easier to tackle your bed bug problem. If you need to move something out of an infested room temporarily, put it into a plastic bin with a tight fitting lid first. If something cannot be laundered, see if you can take it to a dry cleaner instead. You can also sanitize it by putting it into the dryer for at 15 minutes on a high heat setting.  Depending on how severe your infestation is, you may need to wash everything once or twice a week for several months—even after the bed bugs are gone. Don't forget to clean the laundry area with a sanitizing cleaner once you are done. This also includes soft toys. Be sure to put them inside a pillowcase when washing them, so that you don't damage their fur. You can also use plastic, zippered or resealable bags instead. Whatever container you choose to use, you must keep it closed whenever you are not handling the things inside. This will prevent the newly-cleaned items from getting re-infested. Store these bins away from the infested room. This includes anything made out of fibers, such as box springs, carpets, curtains, mattresses, and upholstered items. It also includes "hard" items, such as furniture, hardwood floors, baseboards, and anything else with nooks and crannies. Take the bag out of the vacuum cleaner and put it into a plastic bag. Tie the plastic bag up tightly, and throw it away immediately outside your house. Do not leave the bag inside your house, or you may get another infestation. It is important that you use one which reaches at least 200°F (93.4°C) and which produces dry steam. The "dry steam" is important because you don't want everything left soaking wet, which can lead to mold and mildew. If something is beyond saving, get rid of it. Rip off the covers of upholstered furniture. Mark infested pieces clearly with "Infested with Bed Bugs" or "Bed Bugs" signs. Make arrangements with your city to have these items disposed of as soon as...

Choose your candles. Set up your area. Decorate your area.

Some dehydrators have a thermostat, while others have a simple “On / Off” switch. If your dehydrator has a thermostat, set it to 135 or 140 degrees Fahrenheit (57 or 60 degrees Celsius) and let it preheat while you prepare the tomatoes.  If your dehydrator only has an “On / Off” switch, you do not need to preheat it. Instead, simply turn the heat on after you add the tomatoes to the appliance. If your dehydrator does not have a thermostat, it might be a good idea to set a cooking thermometer in the bottom tray of the dehydrator so that you can monitor the temperature as the tomatoes dehydrate. The tomatoes should be washed, dried, skinned, cored, cut, and seeded.  Wash the tomatoes under running water and pat dry with clean paper towels. Skin the tomatoes only if desired. Cut an "X" on the bottom of the tomato, just deep enough to slice through the skin. Blanch the tomato in boiling water for 25 to 30 seconds before removing with a slotted spoon and dunking into ice water. Peel the skin off with your fingers. Use a paring knife to cut a cone shape out of the top stem end of each tomato to remove the core. Slice off a small portion of the bottom end, as well. Cut the tomatoes into decent sizes. Cherry tomatoes should be cut in half, roma (plum) tomatoes should be cut in halves or quarters, and larger tomatoes should be cut into 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) slices. Seeding the tomatoes is optional. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon, leaving the pulp behind. You can blot away extra juice with a clean paper towel. Spray the dehydrator trays with a light coating of cooking spray or rub a small amount of olive oil over the trays using another clean paper towel. Greasing the trays will prevent the tomatoes from sticking. The oil can also add flavor to the tomatoes. Arrange the tomato pieces on your prepared dehydrator trays so that they are cut-side up and roughly 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) apart from one another. Do not layer the tomatoes or position them so that they touch one another. Doing so will cause the tomatoes to dehydrate...

TL;DR in English: Preheat the dehydrator, if applicable. Prepare the tomatoes. Grease the dehydrator trays. Place the tomatoes on the dehydrator trays. Season as desired. Dry the tomatoes in the dehydrator. Store.

For the best results, you want to use candles that are fairly large and haven’t yet been burned down. It’s fine if they’ve been used slightly.  Candles are made from all different types of waxes and materials. Try choosing a few different types to compare your results and see which works best. Gather soy, gelatin, paraffin, beeswax, bayberry, or soy candles. Different types of wax have different rates of evaporation. You want to place your candles on a clean, flat surface. Put your candles in candle holders, and lay newspaper on the table underneath them to catch any dripping wax.  Make sure that your candle area is free from any flammable items that could catch fire. If you have long hair, pull it back, and don’t wear loose-fitting clothing. Even though you’re just working with candles, you still want to take precautions around fire. If you want to light a candle without touching the wick as a magic trick for your friends, rather than just as an experiment, consider giving the space where you’ll present your trick a little bit of pizzazz.  Hang a black sheet or large piece of black poster board behind your candles. This will make the flame more prominent and visible. Just make sure that these are far enough from the flame that they aren’t a fire hazard. Place a banner or poster with sayings about magic behind your hands. You can also place nonflammable magical objects, like crystals, around your candles.

TL;DR in English:


Acknowledge your emotional pain. Reduce victim mentality. Practice forgiveness through rituals.

You should always consult with a professional coin grading service before you clean your collectable coins. Cleaning collectable coins can significantly reduce their value, and in fact, sometimes coin “toning” or the discoloration and patina caused by exposure to air can actually add to the coin’s overall value. For that reason, you shouldn’t be cleaning valuable or antique coins.  When you are handling antique coins, always hold them on the edge and not on the coin's face. Oils and fingerprints can hurt a coin's value. There is standardised grading for coins, so even the smallest scratch from wiping one off can significantly reduce its value. You may store your 2x2 plastic holders in a binder to display all of your coins. Hard plastic is better because it is more sturdy and will prevent your coin from being damaged. The most important thing is that the containers are air-tight and that the coins will not be exposed to the environment around it.  Make sure that you remove any plastic that contains PVC plastic. Buy coin flips that use Mylar flips because PVC can damage the coins over time. Keep your antique coins away from staples or other metal. Do not use paper. It contains sulphur and can turn your coins black.

TL;DR in English: Go to a professional. Store your collectable coins in 2x2 hard plastic holders.

Being the scapegoat to others can translate to being the victim of emotional bullying. Years of being picked on and manipulated by others has likely shifted your identity of who you are as a person. In order to stop being an easy target, you must admit to what’s happening and acknowledge the pain it causes.  For instance, being the scapegoat may have caused you to experience anxiety, depression, self-doubt, relationship turmoil, and even addiction. Think about the true impact being the scapegoat has on your life by identifying who has used you as a scapegoat and why these people are important in your life and for your sense of self-worth. Be honest with yourself about the negative consequences. It may help to journal about it. Cry, if you need to. Or, lean on a supportive friend. As hard as it may be to swallow, you have to accept that you are being scapegoated by others because you allow yourself to be. A major step towards overcoming scapegoating is to stop playing into the victim mentality. Just because others are trying to make you the victim, you don’t have to see yourself as one.  Consider what you may have been getting out of playing the role of a victim. For example, you might enjoy the attention, feelings of validation, sense of security, sympathy, and lowered expectations that come with playing the victim. Develop a new story of who you are that doesn’t involve being a victim. For instance, when something negative happens in your life, resist the temptation to connect it to people not failing to support you. This takes the control away from you and gives it to them. Instead look for some aspect of the problem in which you had control and brainstorm a solution from there.  You may also turn your attention to things you feel grateful for and people you can help. This may help you to feel more empowered. You are stuck in the scapegoat role because you are harboring negative feelings about others and yourself. Strive for forgiveness and you may be able to finally release the negative emotions that have...

Keep your expectations reasonable. Be confident. Keep a positive attitude. Express your needs.

How much you should use depends on how much creamer you want. Use the jar you choose as your guide, adding as much as can reasonably fit in the jar. Make sure you have the same amount of condensed milk and half-and-half.  Make sure you leave about an inch of headspace. The measuring does not have to be completely precise, but it can be a good idea to use measuring cups here. Measure out the cinnamon and vanilla extract. Pour the spices in with the milk and cream mixture. Seal your jar tightly to prevent leaking. Give the jar a good shake. Shake for a few seconds to mix everything evenly. The creamer will taste best after it's been chilled. Place it in a refrigerator for at least an hour before adding it to coffee. The creamer will last about as long as the expiration date indicated on your milk and half-and-half.

TL;DR in English: Mix equal parts condensed milk and half-and-half in a mason jar. Sprinkle in your flavorings. Shake your jar to mix. Chill before serving.

Think about your goals. Are you looking for just sex? That's perfectly fine. Just make sure to maintain the same priority throughout the experience.  Do not expect a relationship to develop. Sometimes people get hurt after a one-night stand. It's usually because their expectations shifted. Accept that a one-night stand is actually a one-night occurrence. If something else develops, great. But don't expect it to. Once you have decided that you want to have a one night stand, it's time to take control of the situation. If you want to have a sexual encounter, approach a potential partner with confidence. If you feel good about yourself, you will project an air of confidence.  When you see someone attractive, strike up a conversation. If you are at a party, try saying, "Great music. Do you go to many concerts?" Keep your tone relaxed, but convey your interest. For example, maintain eye contact with the person you are interested in. You can also make some experimental physical contact. Try resting your hand on the other person's shoulder while you are telling a funny story. Even if you are looking for a one night stand, you might feel some emotional repercussions the morning after. It is perfectly normal for women to experience regret, or even shame. It's important to remember that you are in charge of your own actions and you can choose how to feel about them.  To avoid having regrets, think carefully about whether you want a one night stand. Do you feel like you can handle having sex with no emotional attachment? If so, remind yourself that you made a proactive choice to have a one-night stand. As long as you were safe, there's no need to feel regret. Maintain high spirits. Celebrate the fact that you just had enjoyable sex. The key to a successful one night stand is that both parties are on the same page. Avoid having a sexual encounter with someone you would like to pursue romantically. Likewise, do not have a one night stand with someone you know is interested in having a relationship with you.

Flatten the Play-Doh. Prepare your stove-top or standalone steamer. Remove the dough from the steamer.

Use one part bleach to 10 parts water. Place the solution in a small bowl or denture cleaner container.  Do not use bleach if you are allergic to any kind of bleach. Also, make sure to use gloves to protect your hands. The bleach kills the bacteria and plaque that have built up. Discard the solution after you’ve used it once. Be sure that all of the solution is gone. No bleach should remain to damage your mouth’s soft tissues, such as your gums.

Wash your head daily with a gentle soap or shampoo. Apply a moisturizer to your head at least twice a day. Protect your head from the sun using sunscreen or a hat. Put antiperspirant on your scalp before bed if excessive sweating is an issue. Shave when re-growth becomes noticeable.

Target stains that remain after spot cleaning or general cleaning with undiluted white vinegar or vodka. Similar to spot cleaning, dampen a clean microfiber cloth with vinegar or vodka and blot the stain. Do not over saturate the fabric. Although the smell of vinegar and vodka may be strong when first applied, when these liquids dry the smell should disappear. These kinds of stains can be removed from many fabrics with a thin layer of paste made from a small amount of baking soda and water. Cover the stain completely with the paste. Wait five minutes, then blot the paste from the fabric with a clean, water dampened microfiber cloth. After the majority of the wine stain has been removed, use a general cleaning measure to remove anything that remains. Dampen a microfiber cloth with mild hand soap or dish soap and cold water. Lightly work this mixture into the stained fabric in a blotting motion. With a clean microfiber cloth dampened with cold water, blot the stain to remove the soap. When the stain has faded, wash the fabric as you would normally.  Avoid applying heat to blood and other protein stains, as it will usually make them more difficult to remove. In some cases, you might not be able to clean blood stains that have set in the fabric of the furniture. For severe stains, you may need to use soap and cold water several times before the stain fades sufficiently. Allow the fabric to dry naturally in between applications. Specially formulated upholstery cleaner can be found at most general retailers, like Walmart and Target, and hardware stores. Each cleaner will be different, so you should use it according to its label directions.  Read the usage instructions of cleaners carefully before purchasing them. Some may be intended for certain fabrics or stains. Some upholstery cleaners may use harsh chemicals that can break down the fabric of your furniture if used too often. You may need to repeat general cleaning measures after the fabric dries from its upholstery cleaner treatment. If the stain remains after...

Put a pea-size amount of cleanser in your hands and work it into a lather. Then, rub the lather into your scalp to clean away the sweat and grime that naturally build up over the course of the day. Rinse with warm water.  Dandruff shampoo can help with dry scalp, if that’s a problem for you.  Avoid using harsh cleansers on your scalp, as it’s more sensitive than the rest of your skin. It’s best to limit your showers to once a day so you don’t dry out your scalp. You can use face or body moisturizer, but it’s best to use one formulated to protect your scalp. Slather it on in the morning and evening, especially if you’ve just taken a shower.  Moisturizer helps prevent dry patches and wrinkles. Additionally, it helps your scalp look freshly shaved for a longer period of time. If you’re worried about shine, look for a moisturizer labeled as matte. Choose an SPF broad-spectrum sunscreen, and apply it at least 15 minutes before you leave home. Additionally, re-apply your sunscreen every 2-4 hours while you’re outdoors. As an alternative, you can wear a hat for sun protection.  Your shaved head will be very vulnerable to sunburn, which can cause skin damage, pain, and skin cancer. Follow the recommendations on your particular sunscreen when deciding how often to re-apply it. Normally, your hair collects the sweat beads that form on your head from natural perspiration. Unfortunately, sweat has nowhere to go but down if there’s no hair there to catch it. Luckily, antiperspirant offers relief if your sweat is bothering you. Simply apply it to your scalp before bed to allow it time to soak into your skin.  Spray on antiperspirant is the best option for your scalp, but you can use a stick or roll on if that’s all you have. It’s okay if you shower in the morning. The antiperspirant will still help control sweat because it’s already soaked into your pores. It’s easier to shave hair when it’s less than .25 inches (0.64 cm) long, so try not to let it grow longer than this. However, you don’t want to shave your head too...

The Ti plant is an evergreen shrub native to Hawaii with smooth blade-shaped leaves measuring about four inches wide and range from one to two feet in length. You can also use banana leaves.  Wrapping your mahi mahi in leaves helps the fish steam slowly, keeping its juices as it cooks. If using frozen leaves, be sure to de-thaw them first. For Ti leaves, cut each leaf along the center of the rib and throw the rib away. Look for fresh Ti leaves at a Mexican or Asian market. For banana leaves, soak the leaf in water to soften it (about 1 to 2 minutes) and tear 12 long strips from 1 or 2 leaves and boil for 30 seconds before draining. Cut 24 more strips, each about 12 inches by 3 inches and set them aside. Carefully slice your mahi mahi into 12 equal pieces (about 2 in. by 2 in).  If working with frozen filets, defrost them before cutting. Press lightly when cutting. The fish is delicate and you can easily crush the filets with too much pressure. Place your mahi mahi slices on a plate together and leave it in your refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. You can drizzle lemon or lime juice, salt, pepper, fresh or dried herbs, or any seasonings you prefer onto the mahi mahi pieces while they chill. Arrange two strips of Ti leaves or banana leaves on top of one another in a cross shape. Your piece of fish should fit in the center of the cross without overlaying.  You will use the sides of the leaves to wrap your piece of fish for steaming later. Top with grilled vegetables if you prefer. Begin with the lower strip and carefully fold the leaves over the filling by alternating strips in a cross shape. Use each new strip to fold the loose end of the previous strip over the filling.  Tuck the last strip beneath the packet. Tie closed with the thinner boiled strips you prepared earlier. Repeat for the rest of your mahi mahi pieces. Use a rack or steamer basket in a large pot with water until it rests just ½ inch below the top of the rack or basket. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Carefully place your fish...

Adding essential oils to your bath can be very beneficial for the body. Use a mild essential oil like lavender oil, rose oil, or sandalwood oil, while avoiding more spicy oils like cinnamon oil or thyme oil as well as citrusy oils like lemongrass oil.  Using essential oils in your bath can help with many skin problems, circulation problems, respiratory problems, stress, insomnia, and menstrual cramps. Usually use 5-10 drops of essential oils in a bath. Diffusers are devices that use candles to heat up essential oils so that they evaporate and permeate the air around them. They are easy to use and smell quite nice. Some diffusers use electricity instead of candles. This is a good option for people who do not tolerate carrier oils well. Use an un-perfumed base cream and add some essential oils to it. This can help with many skin conditions, including rashes.  Never make a cream or lotion stronger than a 2% dilution.  Use between 4 and 10 drops of essential oils per 50 grams of cream/lotion, depending on your age and sensitivity. Add essential oils to a hot compress and wrap it around your face or other body part. Use a cloth or washrag that has been soaked in warm water and add the essential oils.  This can be good for bruises, wounds, aches, headaches, and other skin problems. Use 3-5 drops of essential oils.

Check dog license laws where you live. Have an accredited training organization certify your dog. Give your dog the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test. Consider registering your dog with the United States Service Dog Registry (USSDR).

Many people like to talk about reading “the classics,” but this might not be the type of reading material you enjoy and could turn you off to the activity. Choose any type of reading material you like which can help encourage you to read.  Check out a wide variety of genres, such as celebrity biographies, romance, non-fiction, graphic novels, or fictional works. Ask friends and family members for suggestions of material they enjoyed reading. Chances are that you may like it, too. You’ll likely enjoy a couple of different genres of reading. For example, you might like to read romance novels one day and a graphic novel the next. Don’t pigeonhole yourself into one type of reading: allow yourself to explore the wide world of reading! Brick-and-mortar bookstores have several advantages over browsing online. For one thing, you can walk through the aisles and pick up anything that catches your eye. You're more likely to discover something exciting when you can see what's in front of you, rather than having to know what to search for. Most bookstores are also happy to let you relax and read in their coffee shop or lounge area, so you can "preview" a book before you buy it. Additionally, employees in bookstores usually love books and are happy to offer recommendations. For example, if you usually don't like reading but really enjoyed The Hunger Games, a bookstore employee could recommend other books like it that you might also enjoy. Some people have learned to hate reading because in school they had to read just to pass tests, and they never made an emotional connection to the material. If you're just trying to figure out what you might enjoy reading, remember that this isn't a test, and you won't "fail" if you don't enjoy a particular type of book.  It's also not a competition. Liking one type of book doesn't mean that you're "better" than someone else. Someone bragging about loving James Joyce's Ulysses isn't inherently a superior person. And in fact, quite a few people lie about having read "classic" books -- 65%...

TL;DR in English: Choose reading material that you will enjoy. Go to a real bookstore. Remember that you won't be tested. Rely on media other than books. Join a book club. Listen to audiobooks. Take your time. Avoid forcing yourself to read. Read at relaxing times.

Your service dog must comply with all local regular licensing and registration regulations. This typically includes getting vaccinated for rabies and wearing dog tags.  Some cities have banned certain dog breeds in the belief that those breeds represent a threat to the health and safety of the community. Service dogs must be exempted from those bans. Under the ADA, it is illegal to require mandatory registration of service dogs. However, some local communities may offer special service dog tags in addition to regular dog tags. If your community offers service dog tags or special registration, participation is voluntary. However, registration may provide important benefits. For example, if your service dog was registered, first responders would know to look for your dog during an emergency evacuation. Accredited training organizations may administer the Assistance Dogs International (ADI) Public Access test. If your service dog can pass this grueling test, it is considered among the elite service dogs in the world.  The ADI itself does not test or certify dogs, but many accredited organizations do. You can find an accredited organization near you by visiting http://www.iaadp.org/iaadp-minimum-training-standards-for-public-access.html. More than half of the service dogs trained by accredited professional trainers cannot pass this test, so don't be disappointed if your dog doesn't make the grade. If the organization offering the test allows it, videotape your dog completing the tasks. You never know when it might come in handy later on. This test is another way to document the effort you've put into training a self-trained service dog. It's typically easier to find an obedience center that offers this test than it is to find one that offers the ADI Public Access test.  Some obedience centers only offer the test to dogs who complete the 6-week canine good citizen class. However, there are many that offer the test separately for people with self-trained dogs who want the credential. If your dog passes the test,...

Figuring out what type of person they are will help you understand why they say and do certain things.  It will also help you understand how to interact with them in a way that works for both of you (or to your advantage). There are several different theories of personality, many of which have years of research supporting them.  Listen to what people are telling you and watch their actions and body language to evaluate what type of personality they have. For instance, watch the person you don't understand's body language when you're talking. If his body language suddenly stiffens when you touch on the topic of family, then you can pretty safely assume that is a sensitive topic. Gathering information like this over time can help build a clear outline of that person's personality. While personality types can serve as a guideline for understanding people, keep in mind that experiences, situations, and even the person's current mood can all influence how he acts. This method looks at people's Openness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. By observing whether or not a person has these traits, you may have a sense for how willing someone might be to try something new, work with a group or team, or even start a conflict.  Determine how open to new experiences and ideas a person is by watching how she responds to change or novel suggestions. Does she welcome the new plan or resist it? Observe her habits to see how conscientious, or aware of herself, her goals, and environment she is. Is she detail-oriented and well-organized? Pay attention to how she interacts with others to determine how extroverted she is. Does she seem to prefer to work alone? Does she move around talking to everyone in the room? Ask open-ended questions to see how agreeable she is like, “What do you think about the new project?”; “How do you feel about our sales goal?”; “What’s your opinion on the lunch menu?” Notice neuroticism (how moody, negative, or anxious she is) by listening to and observing her. Does she...

If you’ve been in business a long time already, you might have a sizable stash of business cards that need to get organized. Before you start organizing the ones you may still find useful, save time by going through your cards and disposing of all the ones that might not be useful anymore.  Get rid of business cards you don’t recognize. They won’t do you any good. Get rid of business cards that advertise defunct services or companies. Save really nostalgic cards (e.g. the card for the restaurant where you got engaged), but set them aside. You can simply put the cards in alphabetical order by name or company, if that seems most useful to you. You also might consider grouping them by event or industry, and then alphabetizing them within those parameters. Experiment until you find a system that feels right for you, then stick to it. If you have just a few business cards and you don't want to digitize them, it’s possible to avoid using an app to organize them. Get all their information into one place by writing out their information into a reference place you’ll use.  If you like using a paper address book, you can transfer your cards’ information into that. You can also type the information straight into the Contacts feature on your computer. Once you’ve made sure their information is easily accessible, it’s time to figure out what to do with the business cards. The “old-fashioned” habit of keeping useful cards, even if you just use a rubber band in your desk drawer, is a good backup for computerized information.  A Rolodex is easy to add and subtract cards from, and its rotating motion makes it easy to scan through cards. However, it is big and bulky, and may add an unintentionally retro look to your desk. A business card holder is attractive and compact, with individual clear sleeves to hold each business card. Avoid having to reorganize the whole thing every time you add a new card by leaving several empty slots in each alphabetical section.

TL;DR in English: Cull your existing collection. Decide how you want the cards to be organized. Copy out a small collection. Store useful cards.

Your toddler may be ready to use a spoon by the time she reaches 12 to 15 months old.  However, if you have not introduced her to finger foods by that time, you should do so before starting to teach her how to use a spoon. Eating finger foods will help your child to learn how to bring food to her mouth. Finger foods include:  Chunky slices of fruits and vegetables. Dry crackers and cereals. After your toddler has gotten used to eating with finger foods, you may notice that she starts eyeing your utensils during Mealtime. She might even indicate her desire to hold a spoon. If you see this happening, allow her to try using the spoon all by herself. Be prepared for a mess and always remember to applaud her efforts. By the 18th month, your child will most likely have figured out how to use the spoon properly though there will still be times when she will revert back to using her hands to feed herself. She will revert back to finger foods because at this stage her dexterity is still not that developed. To help your child’s dexterity, give her foods that will stick to the surface of the spoon.

Test the urine right away. Pay attention to the physical characteristics of the urine. Keep in mind that a dipstick test is not infallible.

Nitrate levels increase as a result of your fish’s uneaten food and waste. Spot clean your tank daily by scooping out uneaten food and visible waste products with a net. This will help to prevent the nitrate levels from rising and save you from having to replace water in the tank as much. Check your fish tank about 5 to 10 minutes after feeding your fish and scoop out any uneaten food that you notice. Keeping live plants in your aquarium may also help to keep the nitrate levels under control. Try putting a few live plants in the aquarium that grow under or above the water. Check your local pet store for plants that will work with your tank. Try adding mangrove to your tank for a plant that will grow out of the water with its roots below it. smaller amounts 2 to 3 times daily. This will help to reduce the buildup of waste in the tank from uneaten food. Divide the amount that you would normally give them in 1 feeding per day into 2 or 3 amounts. Feed your fish in the morning and evening, or morning, noon, and evening. It should not take your fish more than 2 minutes to finish eating and there should not be much or any food left behind when they finish. If it does, then you are likely feeding them too much. The general rule of thumb is to have 1 inch (2.5 cm) of adult fish per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water. Some aquarium owners will also divide the number of fish they could keep in a tank in half to ensure that the tank is not overcrowded. For example, if you have a 30 gallon (113.6 L) tank, then you could keep 30 1 in (2.5 cm) long fish in it, but you may want to only keep 15 in the tank to ensure that the tank will not be overcrowded. Although the filter in your aquarium cannot adjust the nitrate levels, a clog in the filter may be increasing the nitrate levels. This is because the clog may be from excess food or other waste products in the tank that are being cycled back into the water. Look in the filter once per week to ensure that there are no clogs and remove them if there are. Ensure that the filter you are...

TL;DR in English: Clean up any leftover food or other waste products right away. Place plants into the aquarium to absorb excess nitrate. Feed your fish Avoid overcrowding your fish tank. Check your aquarium filter regularly to spot clogs.

Ideally, the sample should be analyzed as soon as it leaves the body. If this isn’t possible, refrigerate the fresh urine until it can be examined. Keeping it in cold conditions will slow the breakdown of different chemicals and the onset of bacteria.  Always refrigerate a sample if it’s going to be more than 2 hours before you can get around to testing it.  Discard samples that are more than a couple hours old if they’ve been exposed to air or left to sit at room temperature. If necessary, you can wait and take a new sample at a later time. The way a sample looks will provide the first clues about what’s going on inside the body. Healthy urine should be clear or faintly yellow. If the urine you’re testing is a dark or unusual color, is especially cloudy, or has an abnormal odor, you may not need a full urinalysis to tell you that something is off.  For best results, make sure you’re satisfactorily hydrated before you collect your sample. Orange, brown, or reddish urine may be a sign of blood in the urinary tract. Similarly, greenish-blue urine can be caused by a UTI or a reaction to prescription medication. Generally speaking, urinalysis is a convenient and reliable way to get an overview of a patient’s level of health, but it’s not a perfect system. Bacteria, external contaminants, and the passing seconds can all contribute to inaccurate readings. Furthermore, it’s possible for testing machines and other materials to occasionally provide false results. If you need to be able to detect potentially serious health complications, another type of test (such as a detailed blood screening) may be necessary.

Is it to persuade your reader of something? Is it to convey an experience? Is it to present a critical analysis of a text or image? Knowing your goal will help you decide how to navigate your ideas. The best way to start an essay is to get your ideas out in a non-essay format to begin with. Prewriting can take many different forms, and you may want to experiment to find one that helps you the most.   Freewriting, a process in which you just write what you are thinking about without worrying about grammar or punctuation or even your central argument, may be a good way to start generating ideas. It could also help you “find” your thesis.  A simple list may be all you need. Write a list of the subtopics or specifics you want to include in the essay. A mind map may be a helpful prewriting guide for visual learners. The center of the mind map contains your main argument, or thesis, and other ideas branch off in all directions. As you write, think about what you might need if you were reading the essay. If it's a history essay, what context would you need about your topic? If it's a narrative essay, what information would you need to feel as though you had experienced the event? One of the biggest causes of writer's block is striving for perfection before you've written a word. Don't censor yourself as you prewrite. Try to avoid negative thoughts such as "This doesn't make any sense" or "I can't express what I want to say." Just write everything down! If you have used one of the prewriting methods listed above, reorganize the content and add detail by creating an outline. A traditional outline is a great format for getting out ideas in detail and organizing your entire essay.  Begin each section of your outline with the main point.  Indicate each section with a roman numeral (For example, I. Puppies are cute. II. Puppies are fun to play with.) Provide at least two sub-points for your main point.  Indicate each sub-point with a capital letter (For example, A. Puppies look cute, B. Puppies act cute.) Provide at least...

In this method, you'll use a coffee can lid to make a circular frame for fabric that will act as the filter. Many different sizes can work, but in general, wide, stiff lids of six inches across work well.  Stiffer plastic lids are best. Flexible, floppy lids are not ideal. Use a pair of scissors or a craft knife to cut out the entire center portion of the lid. When you're done, you should have a stiff plastic hoop. Through the cut-out center part of the lid away. For the stiffest plastic lids, you may need to use a drill, awl, or saw to get started. Be very careful when using these tools. A heavy pair of work gloves and proper eye protection are musts. Now that you have a stiff hoop of plastic, all you need to do is make the filter with a tight layer of porous fabric. Pantyhose or tights work very well. Simply slide a stocking over the hoop, pull it tight, gather the slack at the bottom, and secure it with rubber bands or tape. You can also use embroidery material or screen door mesh like in the section above, but this is a little harder. You can use clamps, binder clips, or tape along the back of the rim to keep these materials reasonably tight. Your pop filter is now ready to use. Use tape or clamps to position it in front of the mic just like you would for the methods above.

Have a large capacity HDD and RAM. Also, realize that all of the information on the drive that your current operating system is installed on (probably your C: drive) will be destroyed during this process. If there's anything you want to keep, you should back up the drive to keep files. To install:  Boot from the Windows DVD or USB device. Wait for Windows Installation files to load. Wait for Windows Setup to finish loading. Choose your language and other preferences. Choose appropriate action and wait for Windows setup to begin. Accept the Windows license terms. Choose the type of Windows installation to complete. While partitioning the drive for installation, choose about 70GB of HDD (Win 10), or the appropriate size for the type of Windows OS you are about to install. Divide the rest into 3 partitions.  One consideration is how much you'll game. If you are not an avid gamer or just a casual gamer, you can just divide the rest of HDD after 70GB for Windows in 3 equal parts. However, if you'll play a lot of games, you might want 600 GB or so for that alone; this is because games today take up anywhere between 20GB to 70GB for a single game. 70 to 100 GB for Windows (essential). Name one partition Games, one Programs, and one Others. If you are a Gamer like me keep 600 GB drive partition for games and name it Games. Wait while Windows is installed. Wait for Windows setup to complete. Wait for Windows to prepare your PC for first use. Wait for Windows to check your PC's video performance. Choose a username, computer name and password. Enter your product key. This was given to you at the time of purchase. Choose time, date, and zone. Congrats you are finished with installation!

Depending on the band's needs, you'll probably have to incorporate facings, turns, salutes, and bows while conducting the band. These can be relatively straightforward and simple movements or you can make them as elaborate and complicated as you like.  Practice your style in front of a large mirror. Remember that you'll be raised up on the field and visible to the audience. Make sure your movements are comfortable and easy to execute while wearing your uniform. Developing a style can personalize your role as drum major, it's not a vital part of conducting the band. Again, these can be simple, clean movements or elaborate emphatic gestures. Consider what's easiest for your band to understand and follow. You should make your gestures large enough for the band to see. For this reason, you should keep your fingers together, not spread apart. This avoids confusion or misdirection. Try conducting other songs in your time signature to get use to how it feels. When you are completely comfortable with one time signature, practice several songs in another more challenging signature. You can also ask your director for any variations or pieces to practice. To conduct  in counts of two, bring your hands down to hit a focal point, then bring them back up. While this may seem like the simplest time signature to conduct, you should avoid bringing your hands straight up. Instead, bring both of your hands down, then sweep your hands to the side while bringing them back up on the second count. Regardless of what time signature you're conducting, keep your arms at a 45 degree angle with your palms slightly raised at about a 45 degree angle. You should practice choosing and hitting a focal point that will be the basis for your conducting patterns. When starting out, you might want to use a physical focal point, such as music stands set at waist level. This will allow you to become comfortable with hitting the same point when conducting. For conducting three, bring your hands down, then out to the sides, and back up. Specifically,...

Once the grill is heated up, slap the meat directly above the heat source. Cook each side of the steak for 3-7 minutes, depending on the desired doneness and how thick the steak is. Learn the "palm test" to check your steaks internal temperature without cutting into it. Let the steaks finish cooking on indirect heat if the outside is done but the center needs some time. Let the steak sit for at least 5-10 minutes before serving.

Are you hosting a birthday-sleepover? A Halloween one? A summer-themed one? A Christmas-themed one? Or is it just for fun, with no purpose but to cure you and your friends' boredom? Make sure your guests know what they're coming to!   Include the address, too. For example, "Please come to my house at 100 Chocolate Cake street". This includes information such as: What to bring, what you will be eating at the party, and the activities/games that will be played. If your parents are bringing everyone home or picking everyone up before or after the party, make sure to include that. RSVP is a French phrase, which stands for "réspondez, s'il vous plaît." In English, that just means "Reply Please." Your RSVP could be your cellphone number, your home number, or your email address. It is advisable to set a date to RSVP before. For example, "RSVP Before October 12th."

TL;DR in English: Be sure to explain what kind of sleepover it is. Include your name somewhere on the invitation. Add the date and time so that people know when to come. Write down the destination that your sleepover will be held in (most likely your own home). Don't forget to insert any special information in the invitation. Tell your guests how to RSVP.

If you're using propane, lay the steak on the grate so that it is right above the flames. Once you've set it down, try not to move it much. If you want nice charred grill lines you'll need to leave the steak place. If you want the classic criss-cross grill lines, turn the steak 45-degrees with a pair of tongs halfway through cooking. For a thinner steak, flip around the low end of the following times. For a thicker steak, turn at the higher end. If the steak is pink when you turn it then the grill is not hot enough -- raise the heat and leave it flipped over.   Rare: grilled for roughly 3 minutes a side (raise the heat 25-50 degrees before beginning)   Medium rare: grilled for roughly 5 minutes a side.  Medium steaks: grilled for roughly 7 minutes a side.  Well done steaks: grilled for 10 minutes each side, then removed to indirect heat to finish cooking. You shouldn't cut a steak until 4-5 minutes after it comes off the heat, as the juices inside re-absorb in the meat as it cools, leading to a juicier cut. So how do you test the insides? The trick is literally in the palm of your hand.  Hold your hand open, then touch the tip of your thumb to the tip of your index finger. With your other hand, touch the fleshy part of your palm under your thumb -- this feels just like a medium rare steak. Each finger combination mimics a certain cook temperature:   Rare: Don't touch any fingers -- it feels just like the fleshy part under your thumb. (Internal Temp: 130-135°F)  Medium Rare: Touch your index finger to your thumb. (Internal Temp: 130-135°F)  Medium: Touch your middle finger to your thumb. (Internal Temp: 140°F)  Medium Well: Touch your ring finger to your thumb. (Internal Temp: 155°F)  Well Done: Touch your pinky to your thumb. (Internal Temp: 165°F°) Move the steaks away from the flame, burner, or hot coals. If you have a higher rack on your grill, place the meat up here. Cover the grill and let the heat slowly cook the steak without allowing the outsides to burn.  You shouldn't have to leave the steak for...

Cut along the cutting lines up towards the horizontal guideline. Unfold the rectangle. Start rolling the rectangle, from left to right. Twist the rolled up tissue paper tightly around the middle. Fold the rolled up tissue paper in half. Wrap some tape around the base of the loop to hold the tassel together. String the tassel onto a long piece of string.

While marching in formation, it is important that you maintain the proper distance from the person marching in front of you. This is to ensure that everyone in formation keeps step and does not bump into anyone else. The proper distance between individuals while marching is one arm's length plus an additional six inches (approximately 36 to 40 inches total). Squads typically form in a linear formation. A squad may re-form in a column if each member in formation can identify his precise position, but this usually only occurs when equipment from each individual is left on the ground where he was in formation.  The squad leader will stand in the Position of Attention and issue the command "Fall In." On the command "Fall In," you must double time to your position in the formation and follow the lead of the right flank man. Stand in the Position of Attention, turn your head and eyes to the right, and raise your left arm the way your right flank man is standing. Keep your left arm raised to shoulder level with the elbow locked, fingers and thumb extended and joined, and your palm facing down. Take short steps either forward or backward to be in line with your right flank man. Take short steps either left or right so that your shoulder is touching the fingertips of the individual to your right. Once you are in place (called "Normal Interval"), lower your arm to your side, turn your head and eyes to face forward, and resume the Position of Attention. When marching over short distances, you and your squad may be marched in a line formation moving forward. If marching over a longer distance, you and your squad may be marched in a column formation. If you are expected to form a column from a line formation, you will be given the command "Right, FACE." If you are in a column moving a short distance, you may be commanded to march to the flank. The command you will receive is "Right (or Left) Flank, MARCH."  On the command of Right or Left Flank, the foot that is striking the ground is the direction you're expected to...

TL;DR in English: Maintain proper distance. Form a squad. March with the squad. Follow a march to the flank. Get dismissed from the squad.

Position the rectangle so that the narrower end is facing you. Make sure that the folded edge is at the top of the rectangle, facing away from you. Use a pencil to draw the line, and a ruler to make the line as straight as possible. This is your guideline. You will be cutting up towards this line, but you won't be cutting past it. Draw lightly with the pencil so that you won't see the marks when you are done. Space them ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) apart. Again, use a pencil to draw the lines, and a ruler to make them straight. These will be your cutting lines. Do not cut past the guideline. Also, make sure that you are cutting through both layers of tissue paper at the same time. The rectangle will now have a fringe on both of the narrow ends, like a giant set of whiskers. Straighten the strands as you roll. Leave the "whiskers" loose. The only part you should be twisting is the solid, uncut part. Keep the top part of the loop (the twisted part) at the top. Wrap the tape around the twisted part, about 1½ inches (3.81 centimeters) down from the top. Do not get any tape on the tassels. You can use clear tape, or patterned/washi tape. If you make enough tassels, you can make a garland to hand across your doorway. Typical tassel garlands are between 3 and 4 feet (0.91 and 1.22 meters) long.

Cape sundews will do well in bright greenhouses or even on a windowsill that gets lots of light. Unlike lots of other carnivorous plants, they don’t need to spend part of the year in a lower-temperature “dormancy period.” You also won’t be able to overwater these guys -- they love being wet! So long as you’ve got a spot in your garden with full sun, these trumpet-like pitcher plants are for you! There are lots of different Sarracenia varieties that can stay outdoors all year round. They appreciate warm to hot summers and high humidity, and they thrive in in-ground bogs or outdoor pots.  Sarracenia purpura does just fine in areas with shorter growing seasons and freezing temperatures over the winter, such as in the Northeastern United States or Southern Canada.  Some Sarracenia varieties, including psittancina, rosea, and minor, do better in areas that don’t experience harsh winters or long periods of freezing temperatures. Marsh pitcher plants, also called Heliamphora, appreciate a cooler indoor environment. They need lots of light, water, and high humidity, and they’ll do well in any room where you can provide these elements. These plants produce attractive red-greenish “pitchers” that catch their prey. These plants are pretty picky about temperature and light -- they need a cool spot and lots of sunlight! Because they’re so temperamental, they’re not great for beginners. There are lots of different varieties of butterwort, but an easy one to grow is the Mexican Pinguicula. This pretty little plant produces purple flowers and rosettes of silvery leaves. They do well as houseplants so long as they’re kept next to a bright window. These guys are so cool they’ve inspired Broadway musicals! Like Sarracenia, Venus fly traps thrive in outdoor full-sun spots that don’t drop below about 20℉ (about -6℃) during the winter. They also make great houseplants so long as they get enough light.

TL;DR in English: Go with a Cape sundew if you’re a beginner. Choose Sarracenia for a good outdoor plant. Grow a marsh pitcher plant if you want to keep it inside. Plant butterwort for a flowering carnivore. Pick a Venus flytrap for an iconic indoor/outdoor plant.

Spotted cats earned their name because of the broken lines in their coat patterns. This "broken" coat pattern may cause the lines to appear as spots, though this cat is still very much a tabby. The "spots" on the spotted tabby's coat can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They may be large or small, and may appear to be round, ovular, or rose-shaped. Though every spotted tabby's coat will be slightly different, some may be easily confused with a mackerel tabby. Certain spotted tabbies may have "spots" that extend from a spinal stripe, like the mackerel tabby. The difference is that a spotted tabby will still have a more blotchy or spotted appearance.

A pinched nerve occurs when a nerve is damaged in some way and unable to fully send its signals. It is caused when a nerve gets compressed, which can be due to a herniated disc, arthritis, or bone spurs. You can also get a pinched nerve from other situations and activities such as injury, poor posture, repetitive motions, sports, hobbies, and obesity. Pinched nerves can occur all over the body, although they are most common in the spine, neck, wrists, and elbows.  These conditions cause inflammation, which constricts your nerves and causes them to become pinched. Poor nutrition and general health can worsen a pinched nerve. This condition can be reversible or irreversible, depending on the severity of the case. A pinched nerve is essentially a physical obstruction of body’s wiring system.  The symptoms of a pinched nerve usually include numbness, minor swelling, sharp pain, tingling, muscle spasms, and muscle weakness. A pinched nerve is typically associated with shooting pains in the affected area. These symptoms happen because the nerves are not effectively sending signals through the body due to the compression or obstruction to your nerve. Once you diagnose your pinched nerve, you need to start taking care of yourself. You should stay off of the affected body part or use it less.  Repetitive use of muscles, joints, and tendons that have caused the compressed nerves will make it worse. This is because the surrounding areas continue to swell and constrict the nerve. The easiest way to get a bit of immediate pain relief from any compressed nerve is to rest the pinched nerve and the surrounding area until the swelling and compression completely subsides.  You should avoid flexing and moving the area of the pinched nerve so you don't pinch the nerve even further. There are certain movements that cause your symptoms to immediately get worse, and these movements should be avoided if at all possible. If a certain movement or position causes increased symptoms and pain, isolate the injured area and avoid doing...

TL;DR in English: Recognize a pinched nerve. Notice the symptoms. Avoid overuse. Get some sleep. Use a brace or splint. Apply ice and heat. Get a massage. Take pain relieving medication. See a doctor.

Steam cleaning uses hot water to deep clean your carpet and extract deeply-embedded particles. You can purchase a steam cleaner and do this yourself. Before you steam clean, you need to vacuum and spot treat the stains on your carpet. Follow the manufacturer instructions for using your steam cleaner.  Pull the machine slowly as you go over your carpet. Only go over the area one time to limit the amount of water that you apply to the carpet. It is extremely important that you dry your carpet thoroughly. Not extracting all of the water can result in mold, mildew, and odor. Open windows and use fans to speed up the drying process. If you do not want to purchase a steam cleaner, you can rent one from a local hardware store or carpet store. Dry cleaning involves applying a dry powder to your carpet, working the powder into the carpet, and then vacuuming up the dry powder. The dry powder helps pull the dirt and soil out of the carpet. Vacuum your carpet before you apply the powder. Follow the instructions on the cleaner to determine how much you should use on your carpet.  The instructions may recommend that you use a mechanical brush to work the powder into the carpet. However, the brushes should not be used on Berber as it may cause snags. Instead, work the powder gently in with your hands. Always read the label to determine how long to leave the powder on. Some powders require 20 to 30 minutes while other compounds may be vacuumed up immediately. This type of cleaning is recommended for Berber because there is not a risk of over-wetting the carpet and causing mold and mildew. If your carpet is deeply stained or you are not comfortable using these methods on your own, hire a professional cleaner. A professional cleaner will assess the type of Berber you have and the condition of your carpet. The cleaner can then choose an appropriate cleaning method.  Use carpet cleaner that has experience working with Berber carpet. Visit the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Cleaning website to find a certified...

You can use any conditioner you like, as long as its scent mixes well with honey. Stir the conditioner and honey in a bowl until they are thoroughly combined.  Store extra conditioner in an old conditioner bottle for later use. Use the same ratio of honey to conditioner to make a larger batch. After you shampoo your hair, use the honey conditioner just as you would your normal conditioner. Distribute a small amount through your hair and rinse it out when you're finished.  Leave the conditioner in your hair for 5-10 minutes while you finish your. This method is great for refreshing hair that was previously lightened! If your hair regularly feels sticky after rinsing, increase the amount of regular conditioner and decrease the amount of honey you use. Make sure to rinse thoroughly before exiting the shower.

If you want to be even more casual, you can simply say "nansai desu ka." On the other hand, if you're talking to someone older than you or in a position of authority and want to be more formal, you would say "toshi wa ikutsu desu ka." " Counting in Japanese is fairly easy to master. If you can count to 10 in Japanese, you can form any number. Use that number for your age.  For example, if you're 26 years old, you would respond "watashi wa ni-juu-roku sai desu." If you were asked with the more casual "nansai desu ka," you can simply respond with your age followed by "sai desu ka." If you want to potentially impress a Japanese person who asks your age, you can answer them with reference to the Japanese calendar. If you were born between 1926 through 1988, you were born in the Showa era. If you were born between 1989 and 2019, you were born during the Heisei era. The year you were born translates into a number of year in the era, which in turn you can use to express how old you are. For example, suppose you were born in 1992. The Heisei era started in 1989, so you were born in the fourth year of the Heisei era. Your age is "Heisei 4."

Professional desktop publishing or design software may be helpful in creating elaborate invitation designs. However, any word processing program can be used to create basic wedding invitations. A font is the typeface (or sometimes called lettering) used for your invitation. Most wedding invitations feature 2 fonts--1 script font and 1 block font. Do not use more than 2 different fonts or the invitation may be difficult to read.  Experiment with free fonts available for download online. Try different font combinations and font treatments, such as italics, lowercase and uppercase typeface. Try different font sizes. The font size is how big the text appears on the invitation. Because fonts vary in typeface size, it is difficult to provide a suggested font size for invitations. As a rule of thumb, avoid font sizes smaller than 9 point. Consider using larger font sizes to highlight different parts of the invitation text, such as the names of the bride and groom. The text alignment is how the text is aligned or arranged on the invitation. Traditional wedding invitations feature center alignment. However, consider right  or left justified alignments depending on your invitation design. Line spacing is the amount of space between the lines of text. If the line spacing is too far apart or too close together, the invitation will be difficult to read. Adjust the line spacing as necessary to meet your design needs. If you are not an artist or graphic designer, the easiest way to add graphic elements to a wedding invitation is through high-end clip art.  Look for clip art with resolutions of at least 300 dpi (dots per inch). Low resolutions graphics do not reproduce well and often appear blurry. For crisp, high quality graphics, use only high resolution images. Incorporate graphic elements that carry out the theme of your wedding. If your wedding does not have a specific theme, consider images like florals, branches and Victorian flourishes to create invitations with timeless appeal. Evaluate the color scheme of your...

Grab a bowl, cup or ramekin big enough to hold your eggs. Break the flat side of each egg on the rim of the container and let the contents drain into it. To save time, do this while waiting for your pan to heat up. Don't crack the eggs directly into the hot pan. If you do this, it's easier to break the yolks or cook your eggs unevenly. You also have less control over where they will lie in the pan. Now, let the eggs cook without disturbing them for a minute or two. You want the bottoms of the whites to be fully set (but not hard) before you proceed. Depending on your pan and the level of heat you're using, this will take anywhere from about 45 seconds to two minutes. Keep your eyes on the edges of the whites — they are thinner than the center, so they will solidify first. When you notice that the edges are solid, you can proceed even if the whites in the middle are still a little liquid. Congratulations! Your over easy eggs are done. Transfer out of the pan to a plate and serve with toast, bacon, hash browns, or other breakfast favorites.

Many travelers use prescription or over-the-counter sleeping aids to help them get to sleep.  However, prescription medications should only be taken if prescribed by a physician.  Risks associated with sleeping pills include DVT (deep vein thrombosis) and feelings of drowsiness and disorientation upon awakening. Over-the-counter sleep aids have a more moderate effect but it is still recommended that you only take them if you can ensure that you have four uninterrupted hours to sleep. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the body, it is also available as an over-the-counter supplement.  Sleep researchers have found that melatonin levels are elevated after dark and remain elevated throughout the night, suggesting that it can promote sleep. Some studies also suggest that if you continue to take it when you arrive at your destination, it can ease the symptoms of jet lag as well. Essential oils such as lavender, chamomile and valerian have a relaxing effect and may help you drift off to sleep.   When traveling, pack a small spray bottle with your desired essential oil mix and spray on your pillow or clothing.

To begin factoring, all you need is a number - any number will do, but, for our purposes, let's start with a simple integer. Integers are numbers without fractional or decimal components (all positive and negative whole numbers are integers). Let's choose the number 12. Write this number down on a piece of scratch paper. Any integer can be written as the product of two other integers. Even prime numbers can be written as the product of 1 and the number itself. Thinking of a number as the product of two factors can require "backwards" thinking - you essentially must ask yourself, "what multiplication problem equals this number?"  In our example, 12 has multiple factors - 12 × 1, 6 × 2, and 3 × 4 all equal 12. So, we can say that 12's factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. For our purposes, let's work with the factors 6 and 2. Even numbers are especially easy to factor because every even number has 2 as a factor. 4 = 2 × 2, 26 = 13 × 2, etc. Lots of numbers - especially large ones - can be factored multiple times. When you've found two of a number's factors, if one has its own set of factors, you can reduce this number to its factors as well. Depending on the situation, it may or may not be beneficial to do this. For instance, in our example, we have reduced 12 to 2 × 6. Notice that 6 has its own factors - 3 × 2 = 6. Thus, we can say that 12 =  2 × (3 × 2). Prime numbers are numbers greater than 1 that are evenly divisible only by themselves and 1. For instance, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, and 17 are all prime numbers. When you've factored a number so that it's the product of exclusively prime numbers, further factoring is superfluous. It does you no good to reduce each factor to itself times one, so you may stop. In our example, we've reduced 12 to 2 × (2 × 3). 2, 2, and 3 are all prime numbers. If we were to factor further, we'd have to factor to (2 × 1) × ((2 × 1)(3 × 1)), which isn't typically useful, so it's usually avoided. Negative numbers can be factored nearly identically to how positive numbers are factored. The...

New and unique experiences enrich people's lives and help them feel happier overall. Whenever possible, spend your free time trying new things, going new places, and experiencing life.  If you have a little money set aside to treat yourself, consider investing in an experience, like a vacation, instead of an object. The experience will leave you with great memories that you can look back on for the rest of your life, which will increase your happiness. Don't feel like you always need to have someone with you to enjoy these experiences. As a single person, you can choose to have adventures with friends and family or alone. Volunteering for a worthy cause greatly increases people's sense of self-worth and fulfillment. Look for an organization in your area that has a mission you believe in and find out how you can help. As a bonus, you may also meet new friends who also care about the cause. If you don't have the time to commit to ongoing volunteer work, there are plenty of short-term volunteer opportunities out there. Even a few hours of volunteering is meaningful. Many people find that exercise increases their happiness and makes them feel better about themselves. Try finding a type of exercise that you enjoy, whether it's playing a team sport or going for walks. It's fine to spend time at home alone, as long as you don't become bored and isolated. To avoid this, use your alone time to cultivate your creative interests or learn new things.  Try taking an online class or developing a new hobby, like painting or sewing. Avoid watching too much television, as this can become a stand-in for social relationships.

TL;DR in English: Focus on experiences. Try volunteering. Enjoy physical activity. Spend alone time constructively.

Depression in men is commonly displayed through anger. It is not uncommon to lack sleep and energy when depressed, which can ultimately have a significant effect on his mood. If your loved one has been displaying random fits of anger, this may be an underlying symptom of depression. Women tend to show emotional symptoms in the form of tears, and communicate their need for assistance. Men on the other hand tend to act out, typically in a more aggressive, angrier fashion. A man with depression will likely display trouble concentrating, remembering details, or making decisions. He'll be unable to concentrate and make decisions, be it important or minute. This will greatly affect his home and work life. If he has depression, he likely feels sad or empty. If he's unwilling to open up about it, you may observe him being generally down about life.  He may not get excited or feel happy about things that would normally be pleasurable, which is another way to determine if he's feeling blue. Men generally have difficulty expressing sadness. Sometimes this emptiness manifests as feeling hopeless, irritable, anxious, or angry. He may seem pessimistic, easily annoyed, worried about things out of his control, and will display a short temper. If this person displays 4-5 of the symptoms listed above, he is most likely dealing with depression.  However, one or two symptoms do not indicate a depressive episode – we all feel down and blue at times. What's more, depression will last for more than two weeks; mere sadness goes away sooner and is often only in certain environments. If depression does seem to be the case, know that it's highly treatable. In fact, most people will experience at least 1 depressive episode at one point in their life.  It's incredibly common and nothing to be ashamed about. . This is often the hardest symptom to observe because people often do not want to talk about suicide.  However, this can be observed through speech patterns.  People who are depressed may make comments about just wanting to get away,...

Starting on the right foot is essential. People will form lasting impressions of you as early as the first day. You want to do your homework and make ample preparation. Without preparation, you may run into difficulties and find yourself unnecessarily aggravated or irritable. Being short or snapping at another co-worker is a terrible way to start a relationship. Make sure to either bring or ask for a notebook to begin taking notes early in the day. Bringing one from home shows initiative. Don't be the new employee who doesn't write anything down. Plan to be there at least 15 minutes early. Report directly to your boss or human resources contact. If you don't know where to go, kindly let another employee know this is your first day and ask them for directions. They had a first day too so they will understand. Until you know the rules, assume that using your cell phone during business hours is grounds for immediate termination (this assumption is not far from reality). The first day is all about first impressions. Any cell phone interruption signals a lack of professionalism. Most of the bad workplace behaviors come from a lack of respect for others. While your co-workers function in a variety of roles at work, they are still people with feelings. Being nice and leaving hand written Thank You's builds positive working relationships.  Prepare to avoid joking or discussing race, gender, age, sexual orientation, or religion. These are sensitive issues for most people. Even if you are comfortable discussing these topics, many other people may feel uncomfortable if you discuss them openly. Resist the temptation to ask or pry into people's personal lives. If your curiosity is tickled, ask yourself if the answer is work-related? If not, its best to not ask. Drive carefully in the parking lot and don't be rude to others as you are rushing to clock in or out on time.
