Dress appropriately. Equip other useful gear. Take only what you can realistically use. Stay vigilant. Don’t leave behind a mess.

If you feel that your physique is small, there is a chance that you are actually underweight. The health dangers of being overweight are well-known, but there are also significant problems attached to being underweight. Evaluate whether you are underweight and consider steps to develop a healthier physique. This isn’t about becoming a bodybuilder, but is about being healthy and happy.  Use a BMI healthy weight calculator to assess your weight and size, like the one here. If you are underweight you may not be getting enough calories, which can leave you tired and lethargic. Being underweight can mean your body lacks the nutrients to develop fully. Your immune system will also suffer, making you more susceptible to illness. If you are underweight you should aim to gradually gain weight until you reach the recommended level for your age and height. This doesn’t mean eating a lot of fatty and sugar-filled foods to pile on the pounds. Doing this will increase your body fat, rather than your lean body mass. You should instead try to eat three meals a day, and three snacks a day, which are based on the principles of a healthy balanced diet.  High-energy foods are particularly effective if you are trying to gain weight. Try oatmeal with whole milk for breakfast, with smoothies for snacks. For lunch, a baked potato with tuna gives you lots of energy. Peanut butter on wheat toast is a great high-energy snack to have between meals if you want to put on some weight. Achieving a healthy weight and physique does not mean building enormous muscles. Having a toned, athletic, and flexible body will help you stay healthy. Try to couple strength exercises, such as push up, squats, and crunches, with exercises that improve your flexibility, such as yoga or pilates.  Remember: you should not try to emulate an idealised or unattainable physique. Think about how physically fit you feel, rather than what you look like. Exercising regularly will help keep your body healthy. Try to do some muscle-strengthening exercises twice a week.

TL;DR in English: Determine if you are underweight. Reach a healthy weight. Increase your strength and flexibility.

There’s a good chance that whatever you wear is going to get dirty or torn, so wear older garments that you don’t mind ruining. Comfortable clothing will allow you to move around freely, which can be helpful should you have to do any climbing or other maneuvering. It’s also a good idea to pull on a pair of thick-soled, closed-toed shoes or boots to protect your feet from sharp exposed edges.  Wear pants and tops with long sleeves to minimize your exposure to unsanitary messes.  If you’re going to actually enter the dumpster, wear sturdy fabrics like denim, nylon or leather and keep as much of your body covered as possible. Remove any accessories you don’t want to lose before you get inside. Feel free to bring along anything else that you think might come in handy, like a pair of thick gloves or a small stepping stool or milk crate to help you get up into the dumpster. Night dives should be accompanied by a flashlight or headlamp to make it easier to see. Don’t forget to also bring some kind of spacious container to stash your discoveries in.  A durable canvas laundry bag can make a great way to transport your finds back home. Use a long pole to poke around in the trash until something catches your attention. If you’re careful enough, there may be no need to get inside the receptacle at all. Flashlights may also be necessary during the daytime if the dumpster is especially deep or situated in the shade. While you may be tempted to bring back anything and everything of potential value from your dive, it’s best to limit your haul to the things you have a specific need for. Otherwise, useless items will just accumulate and eventually find their way into the trash again.  Organize your finds into a few separate piles: things you can use, things other people might be able to use and things you can sell.  If you don’t find anything worth keeping, cut your losses and move on to the next spot. As mentioned, dumpster diving is looked upon with notoriety. If you’re not paying attention, you may end up being surprised by...

If your friend has been saying or doing concerning things, let them know that you’ve noticed and that you’re worried about them. Avoid getting upset or emotional when you do this as it may cause them to feel worse. Just tell your friend what you are concerned about in a straightforward manner.  For example, you might say something like, “John, I’ve noticed that you stopped coming to game nights and that you are spending most of your time alone. I’m worried about you.” Some examples of concerning behavior may include withdrawing, acting sad, self-harming, using drugs, gambling, or having unsafe sex. It’s important not to put too much pressure on your friend to talk, but letting them know that you’re there for them if they need you can help to reassure them. Offer to help them in any way that you can. Try saying something like, “I’m here for you if you ever want to talk,” or, “Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.” to your friend if they want to talk with you. Give your friend your undivided attention if they want to talk, such as by putting away your phone and shutting off the TV or your computer. Face them and make eye contact with them. While your friend is talking, pay close attention to what they say and nod to show you are hearing them. You can also rephrase what they say now and then to show you’re paying attention. For example, you might say something like, “It sounds like you’re saying that you haven’t felt happy in a while. Is that right?” with your friend to gain insight into what they’re feeling. Empathy is a way of understanding other people’s feelings by putting yourself into their shoes. Try to imagine how you’d feel if you were going through what your friend has experienced or described. You might feel sad, angry, confused, lonely, or all of these things at once. Be sensitive to your friend’s emotions as you listen and respond to them. For example, if your friend shares with you that they have been feeling depressed since the death of a family pet, imagine how you might feel if your...

The pain and other symptoms of spondylosis, whether acute or chronic, can be treated with home methods. Generally, the pain caused by spondylosis frequently improves after a few days. One good way to treat the pain is to use over-the-counter pain relievers.  Examples of OTC meds that help with this condition include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin (Bayer, Ecotrin), ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), and naproxen (Aleve).  Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is another medicine that may also be helpful as a pain reliever. Acetaminophen is a safer option for individuals with a history of asthma, high blood pressure, liver disease, heart disease, or stomach ulcers. Topical pain relievers can complement or be used an alternative to oral pain relievers. They can be administered in multiple ways, such as in creams, foams, gels, roll-ons, sprays, and sticks.  The most common ingredients found in this class of medication are:  Counterirritants. Examples of counterirritants include camphor, menthol, and methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen). They work by creating a cooling or burning sensation that distracts an individual’s mind away from the pain. Popular brands include Bengay, IcyHot, and Tiger Balm. Capsaicin. Capsaicin is obtained from chili peppers and has been found to be very effective for topical pain relief. It causes a tingling or burning sensation upon the skin and may take several days before it actually relieves pain. Popular brands include Capzasin and Zostrix. Salicylates. Salicylates give aspirin its pain relieving qualities. They may be absorbed into the skin for local pain relief. A popular brand of topical salicylate is Aspercreme. There are several varieties of prescription-strength pain medications that your doctor may give you to treat the pain associated with this condition when non-prescription drugs are no longer sufficient. Your doctor may prescribe prescription-strength NSAIDs that will reduce any inflammation associated with spondylosis. Popular prescription NSAIDs include...

Set a nonstick skillet or tava on your stove. Turn the heat on to medium. Allow the skillet to fully heat before you add your paratha. Melt another 7 teaspoons (33 g) of ghee. Dip the pastry brush in the ghee and brush some over each paratha circle. Turn the parathas over and brush the other side with ghee. Place one paratha in the heated skillet or tava. Cook the paratha for about 5 to 10 seconds. Use tongs to carefully flip it over and cook it for 10 to 15 seconds on the other side. Keep turning and cooking the paratha until both sides are lightly golden brown. This should take less than a full minute for each paratha. Serve the lachha parathas while they're warm. Store leftover parathas at room temperature for up to one day. You could also store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.

Set your oven’s temperature to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (130 degrees Celsius), and let it heat fully so it’s warm enough to dry the pretzels. Next, place a wire cooling rack on a large baking sheet for the pretzels to dry on. Line the baking sheet with foil, parchment paper, or wax paper before placing the cooling rack on it. You’ll have less mess to clean up that way. Place 1 cup (175 g) of white melting chocolates or chips into a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat the white chocolate on high in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval. Continue until the white chocolate is completely melted. You can melt the white chocolate in a double boiler if you prefer. Place ½ cup (125 g) of blueberry yogurt in one medium bowl and ½ cup (125 g) of vanilla yogurt in a separate bowl. Next, add a 2 ½ cups (312 g) of powdered sugar to each bowl, and mix until it’s fully incorporated into each yogurt flavor. You can use any flavors of yogurt that you like for the pretzels. If you prefer, you can also use 1 full cup (250 g) of a single flavor of yogurt and mix all of the powdered sugar into it. When the powdered sugar is fully mixed into each flavor of yogurt, add half of the melted white chocolate to the blueberry yogurt mixture and the other half to the vanilla yogurt mixture. Stir well until the white chocolate is fully incorporated into each mixture. When each flavor of the yogurt mixture is fully blended, coat 1 16 ounce (454 g) bag of miniature pretzels in the two flavors. Use a pair of tongs to dip the pretzels and lif them to set them on the cooling rack to dry. You can coat half of the pretzels in the blueberry flavored yogurt mixture and the other half in the vanilla, or break the flavors up to have more of your favorite. Once all of the pretzels are coated, shut off your oven. Set the baking sheet with the pretzels inside, and leave the door slightly open. Allow the pretzels to set for 3 to 4 hours before serving them. Store your leftover pretzels in an airtight container. They should stay fresh for 2 to 3 days.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven and set a cooling rack on a baking sheet. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Combine half of the powdered sugar with each yogurt flavor. Divide the white chocolate between the yogurt mixtures. Dip the pretzels into the yogurt mixture of your choice and set on the rack. Turn the oven off and place the baking sheet in the oven to dry the pretzels. Finished.

Fumbling over your words, or speaking too soft or loud, makes you look uncontrolled. Conversely, a clear and controlled voice can exude confidence. Try to speak in a manner that allows others to easily understand your words.  Use a clear voice both in work settings and personal conversations in order to appear confident. Stay aware of your tone when you talk so you avoid whispering or stammering. If you're nervous by nature, it can take some practice to get the right speaking tone. Try practicing speaking in front of a mirror. You can also record yourself talking and play it back to yourself to see if your tone is clear and easily understandable. Being confident does not mean being loud or argumentative. Confident people are secure enough in themselves and their opinions that they don't feel the need to dominate the conversations. Always give others a chance to speak. Allowing someone to politely disagree with you actually makes you look more confident.  Strive to allow others to talk at least as much as you do. After you finish a sentence or make a point, pause to allow the other person to respond. Show that you're listening as well. Use non-verbal cues, such as nodding and smiling when appropriate, to demonstrate you're paying attention to the other person. Oftentimes, people who are nervous by nature have a tendency to either avoid or diminish expressing their opinion. You may, for example, not speak up when you disagree, or begin by saying, "I'm sorry to disagree, but..." Work on simply speaking your mind. You do not have to be rude or aggressive, but be comfortable sharing your thoughts without filter.  Instead of apologizing when sharing your convictions, get straight to the point. Say something like, "Actually, I see the situation differently" and then proceed to explain. It's okay to appear passionate. Having strong passions is a form of confidence. Being aggressive and being confident are two different things. If you get angry or hostile when others challenge you, this makes you look insecure in...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TL;DR in English: Avoid ingrown hairs. Use baby powder. Avoid burning yourself with the wax. Make sure hair

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

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

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

” This translates into a simple “yes.”  This statement is the basic way of saying “yes” and can be used in just about any circumstance, regardless of how formal or informal the conversation is. Pronounce this French word as wee.  If you want to make this response more polite, you can add the French equivalent of “mister,” “missus,” or “miss” to the end of the term.   Monsieur, pronounced muh-see-euh, translates into “mister.” Oui, monsieur.   Madame, pronounced mah-dehm, translates into “missus.” Oui, madame.   Mademoiselle, pronounced mah-dehm-mwah-zel, translates into “miss.” Oui, mademoiselle. ” This phrase means “yes, thanks.”   Merci means “thanks” or “thank you.” Pronounce this French phrase as WEE, mare-SEE. ” This is another polite phrase.

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

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

Know the penalties and jail terms for avoiding local tax obligations through the use of offshore banking.  If you are taxed on worldwide income, it is illegal to not report proceeds earned in an offshore bank/investment account, even though there may be no added tax from that country. If your intention in setting up an offshore account in the Cayman Islands is to skirt tax laws, you cannot do so lawfully. If you are caught skirting tax laws by depositing money into an offshore account, you may face a variety of civil and criminal penalties, including forfeiture of money and possible imprisonment. Having a bank account and an investment account are two different things, each having distinct tax implications.  Offshore bank accounts are administered by banks and offer traditional services associated with holding a bank account: spending, receiving, and transferring funds, along with earning some forms of interest. If you just want to hold money in an offshore account, a bank account is probably your way to go. Offshore investment accounts are administered by investors and can hold money in different currencies, as well as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. They provide greater flexibility than bank accounts, but may come with higher fees. If you want to hold assets in addition to cash overseas, an investment account may be your best bet. Accounts can be opened by mail, precluding the need for you to visit Cayman in order to open an account. Additionally a number of services such as internet banking, mail retaining, credit cards and investment options can be set up on these accounts. You can use the internet or write to your local British embassy for a list of Cayman Islands Banks. Use search terms like "Cayman Private bank account" if you want to deposit more than $300,000 or "Cayman bank account," "Cayman banking," "Cayman banks" for Cayman Islands banks that accept less for opening accounts. Cayman private banks are more about investment and portfolio management than normal banking. Ask each bank you talk to...

TL;DR in English: Understand tax laws in your country. Understand the differences between an offshore account and an investment account. Realize that you don't need to go to the Cayman Islands to open the account. Find a Cayman Islands bank with competitive rates. Ask banks if they require an "apostilles" stamp. Ask for a list of requirements needed to set up an account. Note that some, not all, offshore bank accounts may require far fewer proofs and far less information. Prepare for other requirements sets up by banking institutions that act as safety measures.

Wood also makes great mulch, and you can make wood or bark mulch from organic matter from around the yard. Go around your house and collect fallen branches, bark, or tree trimmings that you pruned from your plants. Put on safety glasses and process the wood and bark through a wood chipper to make a mulch.  Bark and wood mulch can be used on its own or combined with leaf mulch. Wood mulch is ideal for established gardens and plants, but shouldn’t be used with young plants.  You can rent a wood chipper from a hardware store if you don’t have one of your own. Wood decomposes more slowly than leaves, so this would be a good mulch for long term use. Grass clippings make an ideal addition to leaf mulch, though they aren't as effective when used alone. After mowing your lawn, rake up the grass clippings. Mix the clippings in with the leaf mulch and use a spade or pitchfork to mix them together. If your mower has a bag to collect grass, simply pour the contents of the bag into the leaf mulch when you're done. Like grass clippings, fallen pine needles can also be mixed with leaf mulch. Pine mulch is best used with acid-loving plants. Rake up needles from around your yard and combine them with the leaf mulch using a shovel or pitchfork. Newspaper and other types of paper from around the house can also be recycled and turned into mulch. Collect the paper and use an electric shredder or scissors to shred the paper into small pieces. Combine the paper shreds with the leaf mulch and use as normal.

In medical studies, nearly half of the population has been shown to have characteristics of sensitive skin.  These include redness and/or abnormal stinging, tingling, or burning sensations that occur in response to certain triggers (which can vary from person to person). If you have very sensitive skin with redness and bumps, particularly if you are a woman over 20, you may have a common skin condition called rosacea. This skin condition is also common in people who have had acne. There are several subtypes of rosacea, so it’s best to see a dermatologist if your skin is very sensitive and prone to redness. Triggers are highly variable between people, and it takes experience to find out what causes your skin to become irritated (it will be different for each person). Triggers may include:  particular weather (such as sun, heat, wind, and/or cold) certain cosmetics certain soaps stress your menstrual cycle (for females), although this one cannot be avoided. Using the wrong products can worsen your sensitive skin, so it is best to get a handle on what works for you before attempting to add acne treatments. Avoid products that contain alcohol, menthol, or “exfoliating” agents. These can irritate skin and make acne worse.  In general, using fewer products on your skin is better. Look for products that are labeled "hypoallergenic" at the drug store or pharmacy. Or, ones with fewer ingredients (and more natural ingredients) tend to be a better bet. Always observe the response of your skin to various cosmetics and soaps. Go by trial and error and eliminate those that cause you trouble.

Without your knowledge, there could be someone attempting to hack your computer to access your personal files.  However, you can prevent hackers from accessing your information by installing security software to your computer.  Some examples of security software include Norton and McAfee. Though you may desire to share many aspects of your personal life onto social media, don’t post overly personal information, like your address or phone number.  Be very hesitant in trusting the world with that kind of information. Your passwords will allow access to your most personal information, including your email and bank account.  Never share this information with anyone, especially those who you have met online. Make sure your passwords are slightly complex and are something only you would know. Beyond your address and passwords, you should be cautious with everything that you are posting.  Pictures, statuses, and location updates all give strangers more and more information about you, information that could potentially be dangerous.  Ask yourself “would I want everyone to know this?” before you post anything. Avoid posting overly revealing pictures as these can elicit responses from potential predators online. Remember that online, people can pretend to be anyone.  Though you may have seen a picture of someone, you have no way of knowing if that is really them unless you FaceTime or Skype.  Also, any information people share with you could be completely false.  Remember this and proceed with caution.

Sprains come in 3 grades. A grade 1 sprain has slight tearing of the ligaments, and will result in mild tenderness and swelling. A grade 2 sprain has partial ligament tearing,and moderate tenderness and swelling. A grade 3 sprain is a complete tear of the ligament, and will have significant swelling and tenderness around the ankle.  A grade 1 sprain usually does not require medical attention. A grade 3 sprain should almost always be seen by a doctor to make sure there is no other damage to the ankle. Home treatment and management for all 3 grades is the same, but the higher the grade the longer it will take for the ankle to heal. A grade 1 sprain may not require any medical attention, but grades 2-3 should be seen by a doctor. If your sprain prevents you from comfortably putting weight on your ankle for more than a day, or if you experience severe pain and swelling, call your doctor to make an appointment as soon as possible. Avoid walking on your ankle as much as possible until the swelling goes down and it doesn’t hurt to put weight on the sprained ankle. Try not to put weight on the ankle either. If necessary, use crutches to help distribute your weight and keep your balance when you walk. You may consider using an elastic ankle brace as well. Braces add stability and can help control swelling while the ligaments are healing. Depending on the severity of the sprain, you may need the brace for 2-6 weeks. Wrap a handful of ice, an ice pack, or a bag of frozen peas in a dish towel or a thin piece of cloth. Apply the ice compress to the injured ankle, and hold it there for 15 to 20 minutes. Repeat this every 2-3 hours for as long as swelling persists.  Apply ice to your ankle even if you plan to go to the doctor. Ice limits inflammation, especially during the first 24 hours of the injury. Applying ice to any sprain will help reduce overall swelling and bruising. Alternatively, you can fill a bucket with ice water and immerse your foot and ankle. Leave the ice off at least 20-30 minutes between applications....

TL;DR in English: Determine the severity of the sprain. See your doctor for moderate or severe sprains. Rest your ankle until the swelling goes down. Ice your ankle to limit swelling and dull pain. Compress your ankle Elevate your ankle above the level of your heart. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever.

You can make your bacon more flavorful by marinating it or rubbing spices onto it before frying it. You can also combine it with other food items. This section will give you some ideas on how to add extra flavor to your bacon. To learn how to fry bacon, refer to the section in this article on frying bacon. You can give your bacon an extra burst of flavor by rubbing a combination of spices onto it. Make sure that the bacon is room temperature before adding the spices. Let the spices sit on the bacon for a few minutes before frying it. Here are some combinations:  1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon apple or pumpkin pie spice.  1 teaspoon brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon of cracked pepper.  1 tablespoon of granulated garlic and 1 tablespoon of paprika.  1 ½ tablespoons of dark brown sugar. Put some bacon in a dish and cover it with a sauce, salad dressing, or syrup of your choosing. Make sure that both sides of the bacon are coated. Let the bowl sit in the fridge for 30 minutes, then fry as usual. Consider marinating the bacon with any of the following:  1 cup pineapple juice plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce Italian salad dressing Molasses Teriyaki sauce Maple syrup. Thinner, Vermont-style maple syrup works best.  Note that sweet sauces and dressings will caramelize when you fry the bacon. This will result in some stickiness and messiness. While not quite seasoning or marinating, it is possible to combine the two best breakfast foods: bacon and pancakes. Prepare some pancake batter and fry some bacon. Take the bacon out of the skillet or frying pan, set it on some paper towels, and pour out the grease. Place the bacon back onto the skillet or pan, leaving 2 inches (5.1 cm) of space between each slice. Pour the batter along each slice of bacon and let it cook until the batter starts to turn bubbly (about 1 to 2 minutes). Flip the bacon pancake over, and let it cook until the bottom turns golden (about 2 minutes).

Before loading the revolver, you must remove the manufacturer's preservative and/or any built-up grime. To do so thoroughly, you'll need to disassemble the gun. The exact disassembly process will vary by manufacturer, so check on the procedure before continuing. Scrub all parts of the disassembled gun with a cotton swab to strip the grease away. Dip the swab in a cleaning solvent or hot, soapy water.  Scrub the interior of all cylinder chambers with the cotton swab. Set the cylinder down so that all of the chambers face downward. This will allow the water or solvent to drain. Pass a cleaning patch soaked with solvent or hot, soapy water through the barrel. Pass clean, dry swabs or patches through each chamber and through the barrel to finish the cleaning process. As you reassemble the revolver, you should oil all moving parts and grease the grooves of the cylinder pin.  Note that reassembly will vary by gun manufacturer. As with disassembly, you should check on the exact procedure before continuing. Use a natural lubricant instead of a petroleum-based one. Apply a light coating of your chosen lubricant to all moving parts of the gun. Do not oil the gun heavily since doing so can cause fouling. You should also lightly grease each ball you'll be firing and the opening of each chamber. Even if you just reassembled the revolver, it's a good idea to verify that the gun is currently unloaded before continuing. At this time, you should also put on your safety goggles and hearing protection. Set the hammer in its half cocked position. Aim the gun at a safe target and squeeze the trigger.  The hammer should not move. If you can squeeze the trigger and the hammer falls, the revolver is broken and unsafe. Do not load it. Instead, you must have the gun repaired. The half cocked position acts as the revolver's "safety" position. Slide a cleaning rod or wooden dowel down the barrel and mark rod at the muzzle. You need to make sure that the chamber is aligned with the barrel.  Remove the rod and lay it along the outside of...

TL;DR in English: Disassemble the revolver. Clean it thoroughly. Lightly oil the gun as you reassemble it. Verify that the gun is unloaded. Check the half cock position. Insert a cleaning rod down the barrel.

Give new hires a brief tour, pointing out things like different departments, restrooms, break rooms, conference rooms, and the offices of VIPs. People usually don’t start to feel at ease until they become familiar with their environment.  Be sure to let them know if smoking is prohibited on company property. Point out areas of special interest, like where people like to socialize and where they should never go. Part of any orientation is learning the names of the people you’ll be working with. Not only does familiarizing a new employee with coworkers make them more comfortable, it cuts down on confusion and tension in the new worker’s adjustment. Instead of a boring list of employees, make a collage of employee faces so that the new employee feels like they are joining a community instead of just a job. Even if the new employee you’ve taken under your wing works in a different department, you can still point out the most helpful places and coworkers at your company.  You can connect them with people who are known to be friendly, and people whose job is similar to your new employee’s so that they can get guidance. You can direct them to areas of assistance, like Human resources (HR) for details on health insurance or the company purchaser for supplies they might need. No matter what job a new employee has, they will need supplies to make it happen. Part of the new recruit’s first tour should be the supply closet so they don’t waste others’ time (and their own) looking for materials. See to it that their desk is stocked with enough supplies to get them started.

Pack healthy snacks to munch on throughout the day. Opt for the healthier option for lunch or dinner. Reduce your artificial sugar intake. Bake desserts with natural ingredients and sweeteners. Cook at least one meal a day. Drink water instead of soda.

The idea for a business can come from a variety of sources. Perhaps you've noticed a problem in your life or the life of someone close to you that lacks a solution. Or maybe the industry that you've worked in for years is in need of a shakeup. Alternately, maybe you're just looking for a business idea that you can sell to customers and make profitable. Brainstorm ideas for days or weeks and come up with a list of reasonable ideas. When you have a list, consider, for each business idea:  Who are your potential customers? How would you set up the business model? Where are you going to get your supplies/materials from? Do you know enough about this industry to make it work? No business, especially a small one, can appeal to all customers. In fact, a business is usually defined by the customers or markets they choose not to serve. To become successful, you'll have to identify the niche in the market where your audience is. Start by thinking of what type of customers you want to serve. Are they individuals or businesses? Then, look at the problem your business is solving from their perspective. What type of solutions do they want and how should it be done? Then, you can work within this niche to sell to your customers. Just make sure that your niche is substantial enough to sustain your growth. The first step to actually starting a business is to write a business plan for it. This will give you a basic structure that you can use to plan your goals and decisions. Keep in mind that this plan can be edited over time as you learn new strategies and adapt to your market.  At minimum, a business plan should include a summary of the plan, a business description, market strategies, an analysis of competition, a growth plan, operation and management plans, and how financing will be acquired.  See how to write a business plan for more information. . A break-even analysis tells you, quite simply, how long your business will have to be running to turn a profit. This is a helpful tool for understanding how much money you will...

TL;DR in English: Brainstorm business ideas. Pick a niche market and conquer it. Write a business plan. Do a break-even analysis

If you are constantly on the go, it can help to prepare some healthy snacks so you can reach for them easily and quickly. Having healthy snacks on hand means you will less tempted to get fast food to go or opt for a prepackaged meal.  Cut up fruit like apples, pears, and oranges the night before and pack them in plastic bags or tupperware. Fruit makes a great, easy snack that is also good for you. Nuts like almonds and cashews are a great source of protein that won’t make you sleepy or drowsy throughout the day. Put a handful of almonds or cashews in a plastic bag and stash them in your purse or bag so they are easy to get to when you find yourself craving a snack. If you tend to crave something crunchy, go for homemade popcorn, tossed with sesame oil and sesame seeds, for a healthier alternative to potato chips. Rather than overhaul your entire diet, focus on choosing the healthier option for at least one meal a day. Choose a salad and a smoothie over a burger and fries for lunch or go for a healthy stir fry with vegetables over steak and potatoes at dinner. Try to be consistent about going for a healthy option for at least one meal a day to reduce your calorie intake and stay health conscious. Artificial sugars can be found in many prepackaged foods, such as baked goods, candy, sauces, and dips. Many artificial sweeteners for coffee and tea can also lead to health issues.  If possible, substitute artificial sugar in your meals with natural sugars like maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar. These natural sweeteners contain minerals and nutrients that are good for you and can taste as good or better than artificial sugars. Rather than have a prepackaged cookie or candy, have a piece of dark chocolate. Dark chocolate contains antioxidants and contains less sugar than milk chocolate or other sweets. Try to integrate natural sweeteners like honey, agave, and maple syrup into your baking. This will help you to avoid processed and artificial sugars and ensure your baked goods are healthy alternatives to store bought...

Consider acupuncture to prevent seizures. Talk to your vet about Chinese herbal formulas. Discuss changing your dog’s diet.

Abscesses are a common type of lump that usually form a few days after a fight with another cat or dog. They are rather large and filled with fluid. If you notice your cat seems feverish or unwell and has a lump with a scab in the middle, it is likely an abscess. Abscesses are bacterial infections. While they are usually not too dangerous, it’s best to have a vet look at them. They can drain the fluid and prescribe your cat antibiotics to rid their body of infection. Blood can collect beneath the skin at the site of a minor injury. This will form a swollen, fluid-filled lump called a haematoma. Haematomas are common on cats that shake their head vigorously and damage the capillaries between the cartilage and skin of their ear. Haematomas need to be evaluated by a veterinarian. There is usually an underlying cause of a haematoma, which requires treatment. For example, it may be the result of ear mites or an infection that caused your cat to damage their ear. Some cysts may be caused by blocked hair follicles or oil ducts. If a lump appears suddenly but doesn’t change, and has a hair growing from its center, it may be a cyst. They can be left alone if they do not repeatedly get infected or bother your cat. If you're unsure, the safest option is having a vet check on a cyst and determine whether it should be removed. If you have recently changed the type of food you feed your cat and notice lumps on their head and neck, the lumps are likely evidence of an allergic reaction.  Discontinue feeding them that food and see if the lumps subside.  Lumps of this sort will be small, pale, and filled with fluid. While the lumps themselves are not dangerous, your cat may hurt itself by scratching. If lumps are small, reddish, and slightly pointed, they are likely flea bites.  They will usually be accompanied by scratching, and maybe hair loss.  Talk to your vet about how to get rid of the fleas, and watch out for wounds on your cat’s skin where they are constantly licking and scratching.

TL;DR in English: Determine whether the cat has been fighting. Assess whether an ear lump is a haematoma. Have cysts removed. Consider a potential food allergy. Rule out flea bites.

While natural remedies aren’t backed by scientific research, many people claim that their dogs have experienced relief by using certain methods. Acupuncture is the process of inserting thin, long needles into certain pressure points, which might relieve pain and stop the frequency of seizures. Talk to your vet before trying acupuncture for your dog.  Keep in mind that acupuncture is usually used in addition to medication, not in place of it. Ask your vet, family, and friends for recommendations for professional acupuncturists. You might also want to check out online reviews. Only allow a professional with experience treating dogs to work on your pet. Some people believe that Chinese herbal medication can help reduce seizures in dogs. Ask your vet if herbal remedies might help your pet.  Remember that herbal formulas may not be proven effective. Don't delay treating your dog with medication. Gastrointestinal upset, such as diarrhea, is a common side-effect. It may seem as though your dog gets worse before better. That is common. Herbs might be used to prolong the effects of acupuncture sessions. Since your dog’s food has a big impact on their overall health, it makes sense that changing their diet might help control the seizures. Some vets recommend a high-fat, low-carb diet, or a low salt diet, which may reduce seizures. Talk to your vet before changing your dog’s food.  Ask your vet for a dog food that is right for your pet. You can also ask about making your own dog food, if you want to try that. Ask your vet about giving your dog fish oil supplements, which might help prevent seizures. It's usually safe to give your dog "people" fish oil, but there are also special pills for dogs. Ask your vet which is right for your dog, and follow the vet's dosage instructions, rather than those on the bottle.

Make your paint. Dye the tips. Use multiple colors.

Remove a cabinet door and take it to a hardware store with a paint counter. Collect latex paint swatches at the hardware store to help you choose your color. Scrub the surface of the cabinets with a strong detergent mixed with water and a sponge. Set up a well-ventilated workshop where you can store your cabinet doors and drawers as you prep and paint them and wait for them to cure. Remove all doors and drawers from your cabinets with a screwdriver. Apply wood filler to holes with a putty knife, if you are planning on changing the configuration of your cabinet hardware from door pulls to knobs. Tape the inside edges of the cabinets and the outside edges of the counters. Sand the surface of all the surfaces you plan to paint with 220-grit sandpaper.

Simply place a few drops of color with a 2 tablespoons of water in a shallow dish. The more drops of food coloring you use, the more vibrant your dye will be. To keep it more natural looking, stick to one drop of food coloring with your water. Carefully dip the tips of your flower into the dye. Keep it upside down until your petals dry. This will take anywhere from 5-30 minutes, depending on how heavily you dipped your flowers. Because you’ve used toilet paper, it will soak up the dye very, very quickly. Remember this when dipping the tips of the petals. You barely need to touch the dye to add a lot of color quickly to your petals. Use different dishes to use multiple colors for your flowers. Once you’re comfortable enough dipping them, you can even use different colors per flower. To do this, simply roll the outside tips gently through the dye and then dip the taller petals into your second color.

TL;DR in English: Make your dye. Dye the tips. Use multiple colors.

Oak is porous, and if the pores were not filled during construction, your paint job may look pock marked. It is a good idea to check with a professional to see what paint, primer or sandpaper is specifically necessary for your oak cabinets. Ask the hardware clerk for a high-quality paint that is formulated for kitchen cabinets. Low quality paints can result in drawers and doors that get stuck after reinstallation. If you want to replace the hardware in your doors, take the old pulls and hinges to the hardware store, so you can be sure you are buying the right measurements. New cabinet hardware is often made in different sizes than older hardware. Rinse thoroughly and dry with clean towels. The detergent you use should be identified as a grease-cutting detergent. If the cabinets are extremely old or dirty, you should use trisodium phosphate (TSP) to cut the grease on your cabinets. This is an industrial strength cleaner that should be used with extreme caution. You can use 1/2 cup of TSP mixed with 2 gallons (7.5 l) of water. Make sure to ventilate the area well and rinse thoroughly before drying.    A garage works well for this purpose. Cover the garage floor with drop cloths and bring in sawhorses. Write the location of the cabinet on a piece of blue tape and stick it in the inside of the door or drawer to help you reinstall correctly. Place the drawers and door fronts in your workshop. Store the hardware in small plastic bags to ensure you don't lose anything during the removal process.     Place a piece of painter's tape behind the hole, to keep the putty from spilling out of the other end. Allow it to dry and then lightly sand the surface with 220-grit sandpaper. Cover the floor and appliance surfaces with drop cloths or newspaper. Tape them down at the edges. Spend extra time making sure it is sanded, if the oak has a thick polyurethane coating. Sweep off the dust and wipe the surfaces with tack cloth.

If you’re having trouble folding the fondant, you can use a rolling pin with gentle pressure to evenly spread out the fondant on a flat surface.  Spread a layer of shortening or sprinkle cornstarch onto your surface if you want to prevent the fondant from sticking. Use pink or red fond

Roll the fondant into a rectangular shape that’s 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm) thick. Cut a strip of fondant that’s 1.5 to 2 in (3.8 to 5.1 cm) wide. Fold the strip in half lengthwise. Roll the strip up, pinching the bottom to form a cone shape. Set the roses in a room temperature spot to dry for 24 hours.

Parades can be stressful, and often the best option is to leave him at home in a crate or room, as described in the section on parties. If you don’t want to leave your dog alone, another option is to leave him with friends or family not attending. However, if you do decide to bring your dog with you, follow the steps below to keep your dog as calm and safe as possible. These include:  A crate for securing your dog. A secure leash and collar. A harness or controlling item such as a head collar might be preferred, as your dog may pull. A muzzle. This is a necessary safety precaution, as the sights and sounds of a parade can distress your dog to the point of biting. A collapsible water bowl and water. Your pet must be kept hydrated, as should you. Though you likely won’t be able to follow through a complete desensitization due to lack of time, you can introduce your dog gradually – at first, simply allow him to adjust to the sight, smell, and noise of the crowd at a closer and closer distance, and the parade using the same rules. You should only bring a dog to a parade if he has been obedience trained, but even if he has been, keep a closer eye on your dog than usual. Watch for signs that your dog is uneasy or upset; if the parade upsets your dog too much, you can take him away from the parade or, if possible, set up a crate in a secure location.

TL;DR in English: Consider leaving your dog at home. Purchase or gather the supplies you may need. Introduce your dog to the parade gradually. Keep your dog under control.

You want the fondant to be thin enough that the flowers don’t look clunky, yet thick enough that it won’t rip when you’re forming the petals. Use a rolling pin with gentle pressure to evenly spread out the fondant on a flat surface.  Spread a layer of shortening or sprinkle cornstarch onto your surface if you want to prevent the fondant from sticking. Use pink or red fondant for realistic roses. However, you can use any color you'd like. Trim the edges with a knife to create your rectangle, if necessary. The length of the strip doesn’t matter but the width shouldn’t be more than 2 inches (5.1 cm) or the rose will be too chunky. A butter knife will be sharp enough to slice through the fondant. Cut as many strips as you want roses. Each strip makes 1 rose. Line up the long edges of the fondant to make sure you fold the piece exactly down the center. Don’t smash the 2 sides together. Just rest them on top of each other so you can still see the crease between them. If you’re having trouble folding the fondant, you may have a piece that’s too thin. Re-cut a wider strip. Keep the open edge facing up. Squeeze the bottom of the folded strip between your thumb and forefinger as you roll so it tapers down into a slight point.  The tighter you roll your strip, the smaller your rose will be. If you wind up with extra fondant at the bottom, simply pinch it off with your fingers. Brush a little bit of water along the strip before you begin rolling if you want the rose to hold its shape better. The water acts as glue. Don’t use the roses immediately to decorate a cake or they’ll fall apart or become misshapen. Letting them dry first will harden them into their flower shape. If you aren’t using your roses right away, store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for no more than 2 weeks.

Learn everything that you can about bipolar disorder. Take note of your child's mood and behaviors. Talk to your child's teachers. Help your child keep track of therapy appointments and medication.

The best way to do this is work on collecting your layers year round. Whenever you find a warm winter coat someone else has thrown away, hold on to it. It will come in handy during the winter, and can be used as a pillow or to lay on other times of the year. Think about using a plastic bag over you if you don't have a waterproof layer -- if you get wet, you get cold. You can insulate yourself with multiple layers, but if you’re still cold, try newspaper. By crumpling it up and stuffing it between layers of clothing you can create insulating pockets of air that will help keep you warm. You could also try foam pieces or blankets between your clothing, both of which are much warmer than newspaper. Plastic bags also work well. If you have nothing else, dry leaves will even work. Don't use fiberglass insulation (often pink fibers between layers of paper, used in houses). The tiny glass fibers will cut your skin and could cause infection. Wear multiple socks on cold nights. Before it gets cold, work on finding boots that cover your whole foot, ankle, and part of your leg. Keeping your feet and lower legs protected from cold wind is essential to staying warm. If you are really cold, you might need to create layers of insulation on your feet, perhaps even including plastic bags. Make sure you go to bed with dry socks on.

TL;DR in English: Dress in layers. Use insulation techniques. Don’t forget your feet.

When it comes to bipolar disorder in children, family support is important. The best way you can support your child is through education.  Bipolar disorder is marked by mood swings in which a child moves from manic to depressive phases. During a manic phase, a child may be very silly, energetic, and happy while also having a very short temper. They may sleep very little, have difficulty concentrating, and engage in risky behaviors. During a depressive phase, your child may be quiet and withdrawn and cry a lot. They may also feel guilty or worthless and have little interest in activities. They might complain of aches or pains, as children often lack the vocabulary to explain feelings of sadness and despair.  Bipolar disorder comes in a variety of forms. Bipolar Disorder I is generally more intense, with manic episodes lasting up to six days. Bipolar Disorder II involves shorter, less intense manic phases. There are other, milder forms of bipolar disorder that fall outside the two main diagnostic categories. When your child is diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a psychiatrist will explain what category they fall into and allow you to ask questions.  The best way to learn about your child's condition is talking to your child's doctor or psychiatrist. They can recommend reading materials to you that can teach you how to manage the moods of a bipolar child. Start taking daily notes regarding your child's behavior. What was their mood like today? What triggered that mood? How have they been sleeping? What medications are they taking? These are all important elements of their disorder. This will help you see what progress has been made and if any negative side effects are sprouting up in the results of new therapies or medications. Share your observations with doctors and psychiatrist to help alter your child's treatment options for the best results. Your child's teachers must be familiar with your child's disorder. Children with bipolar disorder may have difficulty concentrating in school and interacting with others...

Cut the asparagus spears in a pot of water for 3-5 minutes, depending on their thickness. When the spears are bright green and tender, place them into an "ice bath": a large bowl 2/3 filled with cold water and ice cubes. The ice bath will "shock" the asparagus

Blanch the asparagus Stir-fry your asparagus Fry asparagus with bacon Make cream of asparagus soup Dice asparagus into an egg recipe. Eat asparagus raw. Add asparagus to a smoothie.

Cut the veneer to the size you want, making sure to leave as little overhang as possible. Any more than 1/4" overhang and you'll likely crack the veneer. Using a very short nap roller, roll the contact cement onto the area of the substrate that will be covered by a single panel of the veneer. Roll in one direction and then the other, just like you would a wall, in order to guarantee 100% coverage of the substrate surface. Go through the same motions to apply contact cement to the veneer, also making sure to get 100% coverage. There should not be any dry spots. Allow just enough time for the adhesive to dry slightly. It should feel perhaps somewhat tacky to the touch, but not be able to grab hold of a sheet of paper or the hairs of your arm. This is usually after 5-10 minutes. Place a sheet of wax or parchment paper on your substrate. This will go between the substrate and the veneer while you align the veneer, to help you get it as straight as possible without joining the pieces before they're ready. Line up the corners of the veneer and the substrate and get it into place. Then start to press it down so that the two glued sides touch, removing the paper as you go. Using your hand, smooth out the piece of veneer, starting from the center and moving out toward the edges. Apply firm pressure to ensure that full contact is made. Next, smooth it again using a flat tool like a putty knife or a carpet stair tool. Smooth it in one direction and then the other, just like you applies the adhesive. Do not use a tool like a roller, as this applies weak and uneven pressure. Trim the edges using a utility knife and then sand the edges using high grit sandpaper (180 to 220).

TL;DR in English: Cut your veneer to size. Apply contact cement to the substrate. Apply contact cement to the veneer. Allow for tack time. Place a sheet of wax paper. Align the veneer. Smooth out the piece. Trim the edges.

. Boil the asparagus spears in a pot of water for 3-5 minutes, depending on their thickness. When the spears are bright green and tender, place them into an "ice bath": a large bowl 2/3 filled with cold water and ice cubes. The ice bath will "shock" the asparagus to stop the cooking. Soak the asparagus for as long as it took to boil. Drain your spears using a colander or a paper towel.  Serve blanched asparagus spears in salads, or eat them on their own with dressing and seasoning. For a simple and tasty dish, add a bit of coarse salt and a drizzle of olive oil to your asparagus before serving it. Blanching is a great way to prepare asparagus for storage if you plan to eat it later. If you are blanching asparagus in advance, or you plan on bringing it to a picnic or potluck, refrigerate the spears in a paper towel-lined plastic bag. . Stir-fry tends to include a variety of vegetables, and asparagus isn't an unheard-of addition to the mix. Add to any stir-fry as long as the asparagus goes well with the ingredients. If you have picky children, a stir-fry can be a great way to get them to eat asparagus. You can easily put in some shredded chicken and small chunks of vegetables, and they may not even notice the asparagus. . Wrap bacon around pieces of asparagus and put them into a pot. Use more oil than than you would in a stir-fry. Fry for 10 minutes and serve on a plate. Be careful not to over- or under-cook the bacon. Be prepared to clean the dishes very well, as they may grow greasy and messy. . Cream of asparagus soup is an elegant starter or lunch dish, and you can prepare it in 50 minutes. The soup is hearty enough to be a main dish, but you can also serve it as a side. To serve four:  Cut the tips from 12 asparagus spears, 1.5 inches from the top, and halve the tips lengthwise if thick. Save the tips to garnish the soup.
