After putting aside any cushions, clean your metal patio furniture by putting a squirt of dish soap in a bucket of water and using it with a scrub brush to scrub the surface of your furniture. A lot of modern metal frames are rust-free or rust-resistant, but for those that aren’t, you’ll need to take this extra step. Iron and steel may rust, but aluminum won’t because it is a non-ferrous metal. Rust and corrosion are inevitable when you have metal patio furniture. The key is to stay on top of it by eliminating it as soon as you notice it. Sandpaper and steel wool are great tools that you can use to buff rust or corrosion off of the metal without causing any damage. Oxidation, which is a chemical reaction between oxygen and another element, is what leads to rust and corrosion on metal patio furniture. Apply a metal polishing paste or a 1:1 white vinegar to water solution to the furniture to treat it. One of the best things that you can do for your aluminum patio furniture is to give it a basic cleaning on a regular basis. This will help the metal keep its natural luster. Avoid using brushes or abrasive cleaners because they’ll scratch the metal. Instead, apply a non-abrasive product with a soft, damp cloth. If your wrought iron patio furniture is looking a little dull or old, consider having it sandblasted or powder-coated to improve its appearance and provide some added protection.

TL;DR in English: Clean furniture made of iron, steel, and aluminum with water and a mild soap. Apply a coat of wax paste or naval jelly to furniture prone to rusting. Rub sandpaper or steel wool on rusty spots. Treat oxidation with a metal polishing paste or a vinegar solution. Stay on top of cleanings to keep your aluminum looking new. Treat scuff marks on aluminum with a non-abrasive cleaner product. Provide extra protection for your wrought iron furniture.

Your primary care physician can evaluate the extent of your injury. They can provide treatment and relief for minor strains, and if it is more serious, they can refer you to an orthopedic doctor. If needed, you may even receive a prescription for anti-inflammatory medication. These doctors specialize in the skeletal muscular system and will be able to make a sound judgement about how to best treat a ligament injury. They’ll question you about the cause of your injury, symptoms, and then advise you about the most appropriate treatment. A specialist (like a rheumatologist or orthopedic doctor) might recommend surgery or some other course of action. Depending on the severity of your injury, you’ll want to consult a personal trainer about steps you can take to promote ligament healing. Ultimately, a personal trainer will likely recommend that you limit stress to the damaged limb while working out muscles that surround the damaged ligament. Ask your doctor if they can recommend a personal trainer.

If you want to quote from a book chapter in APA format, you’ll need to let the reader know where the quote came from by including the author’s last name, the date of publication, and the exact page the quote appears on inside parentheses. The final period of the sentence should appear after the parenthetical citation.  For example: Many scholars believe it is important to “help the student talk about his or her fears” (Harris, 2000, p. 29). For a chapter with 2 authors, include both author’s last names in the in-text citation, separated by an ampersand (&). For example: (Harris & Smith, 2000, p. 29). For a chapter with 3-5 authors, list all of the authors’ names, separated by commas, and include an ampersand before the last name. For example: (Harris, Smith, & Thomas, 2000, p. 29). For a chapter with 6 or more authors, you’ll just include the first author’s last name and the phrase “et al” followed by a period. For example: (Harris et al., 2000, p. 29). If you include the author’s name and/or the publication date in the sentence preceding the quote, you can omit them from the parenthetical citation. For example: According to Muriel Harris (2000), it is important to “help the student talk about his or her fears” (p. 29). The author’s name should appear first in your citation in this order: last name, first initial. There should be a period after. Then include the publication date in parentheses, also followed by a period.  For example: “Harris, M. (2000).” For a chapter with 2 authors, list both names in the same order (last name, first initial), separated by a comma and an ampersand. For example: “Harris, M., & Smith, J. (2000).” For a chapter with 3-7 authors, list each name in the same way, separated by a comma, with an ampersand preceding the last name. For example: “Harris, M., Smith, J., & Thomas, E. (2000).” For a chapter with more than 7 authors, list the first 6 in the same way, then add an ellipsis (…) and list the last author’s name. For example: “Harris, M., Smith, J., Thomas, E., Jones, D., Hale,...

If diet and exercise alone do not lower your cholesterol levels, you may need to take medication. If you are concerned about your weight, your cholesterol levels, or your overall lifestyle, talk to your doctor about developing a plan and taking cholesterol medication. Statins are a class of drugs that slow down or stop one of your body's enzymes responsible for producing cholesterol. Statins are one of the most successful medications for lowering cholesterol levels. Some studies suggest statins can reduce LDL cholesterol by 20 to 55 percent.  Common statins include atorvastatin (Lipitor), rosuvastatin (Crestor) and simvastatin (Zocor).  Some people experience muscle pain, joint pain, and changes in liver enzyme levels. Do not take statins if you have liver disease or are pregnant. Ezetimibe helps lower the amount of cholesterol absorbed by the body. It can be taken in conjunction with statins, but even on its own Ezetimibe has been shown to reduce LDL levels by 18 to 25 percent. Ezetimibe may cause joint pain, diarrhea, and sleepiness. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how Ezetimibe will affect you. Bile acid resins are a class of drugs that bind to cholesterol-rich bile acids in the intestines, then eliminate them through bodily wastes. This class of medications has been shown to reduce LDL levels by 15 to 30 percent.  Common bile acid resins include cholestyramine (Prevalite), colestipol (Colestid) and colesevelam (Welchol).  This class of medication may need to be taken with other cholesterol medications to effectively reduce cholesterol levels.  Possible side effects include stomach pain and constipation.

Coat the inside of a small plastic bowl with oil. Cut the bottom out of a plastic cup. Mix your cement. Fill the bowl with cement. Insert the cup cut-side-down into the bowl. Fill the cup with more cement. Wait for the cement to set. Tip the mushroom out of the bowl, then cut the plastic cup off. Paint the mushroom.

In gauging weather trends and analysis, the absolute value of the pressure is nowhere nearly as significant as its "trend." Namely: is the barometric pressure rising, is it falling, or is it holding steady? Watch the barometer needle and record its movements.  The dials of older barometers often feature artistically-drawn backgrounds to indicate weather conditions like storms, strong winds, and clear skies. For all their aesthetic, these backgrounds can be misleading. The movement of the barometer needle has far more bearing upon the coming weather. If you have an old, traditional mercury tube-type barometer, then you may need to watch the meniscus: the highest curve of the liquid mercury that fills the cylinder. To determine the trend in a barometer, you need to compare the current pressure reading to a past pressure reading. Calculate the difference in pressure between the current reading and the reading from an hour ago. In many barometers, you can manually set a needle to mark a point on the pressure gauge. The needle will remain at this point to help you gauge recent trends in the pressure. The higher you go, the lower the pressure. This means that a barometric pressure that would send someone straight through the trapdoors of a storm cellar at sea level along the coast of Costa Rica would be perfectly commonplace in the midst of summer in the mile-high city of Denver.

TL;DR in English: Look for the trend. Look at the reading. Know that atmospheric pressure decreases more or less exponentially with altitude.

You can use any type of oil you want. The oil is simply there to make de-molding the mushroom cap easier. If you can't find a plastic bowl in the right shape and size, you can use a different material. Plastic is easier to use because of how flexible it is. This will eventually make the stem, so make sure that the shape and size suits the cap. If the cup is too small for the bowl, try a different container, such as a tall yogurt container. The cups that you get iced coffee in are great for this! Every brand will be a little different, so follow the instructions on the package. Ideally, it should have a slushy-like consistency. Make sure that you mix enough to fill both the bowl and the cup. You can use your trowel to smooth it down, or you can leave it rough for a more organic look. Gently tap the bowl to remove any air bubbles. Make sure that the cup is centered and straight. The wider part of the cup should be facing you. Use your trowel to smooth the cement down. This will help the mushroom stand upright. Once again, gently tap the cup to remove any air bubbles. If you will be using this mushroom on a lawn, consider pushing a galvanized steel nail into the stem. This way, the nail will stick into the lawn and help anchor the mushroom. How long this takes depends on the type of cement you are using, how big your mushroom is, and the weather conditions in your area. Use a craft blade to cut straight down the plastic cup first. Then, cut around the top edge of the stem, where the stem meets the mushroom cap. Carefully pull the plastic cup off. Part of the plastic cup will remain embedded in the cement, which is fine. Paint the stem and the underside of the mushroom cap white. Next, paint the cap a bright color. Let the paint dry, then add white spots onto the cap. Let the paint dry again, then seal the paint using a clear, outdoor sealer.  If you need to apply more coats of paint, allow the first one to dry completely. Turn it into a mosaic mushroom by attaching glass gems to the cap using tile adhesive, then...

Your oven will need to be nice and hot when you put the cookies in, so start heating it up right before you prep your cookie dough. This will help to ensure that it is ready to go when you are ready to bake your cookies. To prevent the cookie dough from sticking to your pan, it is a good idea to line the cookie pan with a sheet of parchment paper, even if the pan is non-stick. Place a sheet of parchment paper over the entire surface of the pan.  If you do not have parchment paper, then spray the pan with some non-stick cooking spray. You can also use a small amount of butter or oil if you do not have non-stick cooking spray.

TL;DR in English: Preheat oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Line a cookie pan with parchment paper.

It's easy to get really frustrated and take it out of your kids, making punishments much harsher than is perhaps appropriate. Avoid this by setting priorities, deciding ahead of time which behaviors get punished most harshly and which only result in a time-out. Hitting and biting, as well as anything which could cause them serious injury are usually worthy of the more serious punishments, but you will have to decide what is best for you. Do not threaten your child with a punishment and then not deliver. This teaches your child not to take you or the possibility of consequences seriously. It is better not to react at all than to threaten and then not do anything. Don't feel bad for you child partway into a punishment and then relent. It can be hard, because you love them and you want them to be happy, but it is important for them to fully experience the punishment and not come to expect that they can manipulate your emotions into getting them out of trouble. Negotiating is the quick route to a habitually misbehaving and disobedient child. Just don't. They get what you give them or they get nothing. They'll learn eventually. Be strong. Small children will not be able to understand subtleties so try to create a consistent environment by keeping rules the same across basic situations. It is also a good idea to show them that there is a place and time for certain behaviors, so that they don't feel flat-out banned. For example, establish that it is okay to yell but only outside. Try not to add modifiers to rules such as these, since it only confuses them. Wait until they reach around age 4 before adding conditions.

Relieve your child's anxiety about bath time. Read stories about bath time to make the toddler look forward to it. Add color and bath toys to the bathroom. Tell your toddler to get ready for a bath. Keep a positive attitude about bath time.

This can be done anonymously and voluntarily. Invite your employees to share what they like and dislike about their jobs and their work environment.  Ask questions like, “Do you feel you have the tools and resources necessary to do your job?” or “Does your work give you a personal feeling of accomplishment?” or “Are you satisfied with your involvement in decisions that affect you personally at work?” or “What might we change to increase employee satisfaction?” Pay attention to the survey results. There might be some things you cannot do anything about right now, such as providing raises or better benefits. However, pay attention to the things that will cost nothing, such as a dress code that includes casual Fridays. Either way, make sure you follow up with your employees’ feedback so they stay updated about any progress. Continue to invite suggestions from employees. A suggestion box can go a long way in keeping your staff feeling like they can provide ideas for a more positive working environment. Even if a salary increase only comes annually, supervisors and managers should provide performance reviews at least every few months. This gives your employees a chance to engage with you about their performance on the job and how they feel about working there.  Praise the staff who are doing well. Hearing they are doing good work will motivate your best employees and keep them happy. Conduct weekly one-on-one meetings with your employees to help encourage open communication so they can discuss what’s going well for them and what they think could use improvement. That way, you’re less likely to get surprised at a regular performance review. If an employee is doing well, try saying something like, “We are very pleased with your overall performance, especially in such and such area.” If you feel an employee needs to improve in a certain area, handle the situation delicately by telling them, “We appreciate all of the hard work you’re doing here at the company, especially regarding your increasing sales. But we believe...

TL;DR in English: Take an employee satisfaction survey. Hold regular reviews. Communicate openly. Include employees any time policy reviews are made.

Pay attention to what your toddler dislikes about bath time. Then try to put your toddler at ease. For example, if you notice that they get frightened when the water drains, make silly sounds while the tub drains or get them out of the tub before pulling the plug.  If your toddler is fearful of the water, consider taking them to swim lessons which will make them more comfortable with the water. You could also buy a splash pad or sprinkler, which will allow your child to have fun in water. Your toddler might dislike baths because they associate it with getting ready for bed or the end of play time. Try giving them their bath at a different time of day. Buy or borrow a book or two about bath time that are tailored to your toddler’s needs. For example, choose a book about how bubbles make baths fun or how it's not scary when the water goes down the drain.  You can even read stories to your toddler while they're in the tub. Listening to you read a story can relax them enough for you to stop and bathe them. You can even find waterproof books that your child can take in the tub! Add color to your bathroom to make it less scary. Try adding bright rugs, towels, or sponges. Set out bath toys that your toddler can toss in the tub if they like. For example, offer:  Washable tub crayons Rubber ducks Bath sponges Plastic balls Some toddlers dislike baths because they don't like having to abruptly stop their play. To reduce problems with transitioning to the tub, give your toddler a heads up that it's almost time to get in the bath.  For example, go over to your toddler and say, "In 2 minutes, we're going to start playing in the tub!" For toddlers who are testing boundaries, you can emphasize that baths are non-negotiable. For example, say, "It’s okay that you don’t like bath time, but staying clean is important, so we don’t have a choice.” It's easy to give in to the challenge of bath time and dread it as much as your toddler does. Instead, stay positive so your child senses how fun the bath will be. If your child starts...

Say "goodbye" in the following languages.

You should see your dentist at least twice a year if you don't have dental issues, like gingivitis. Your dentist and dental hygienist will deep clean your teeth, taking care to deep clean the pockets that otherwise can't be cleaned by brushing or flossing.  Calculus gets under the gums creating a constant deposit of aggressive bacteria, which leads to inflamed gums, gum recession and bone loss. If you have gingivitis or periodontitis, talk with your dentist about getting more frequent cleanings. Take a toothbrush with soft bristles and set it against your gums at a 45-degree angle. Brush the outer surfaces, inner surfaces, and chewing surfaces of your teeth using small short strokes. Brush each surface about 10 times using gentle pressure. Don't forget to hold the brush vertically and brush up-and-down to clean the inside surfaces of your front teeth. Brush your tongue, spit out the toothpaste, and leave the foam in your mouth without rinsing.  Brush your teeth and tongue with a tartar-control toothpaste at least twice a day. Leaving the toothbrush foam on your teeth gives the minerals some time to be absorbed into your teeth, especially if you use a fluoride toothpaste which has more than 1200ppm. Unwind about 18 inches of dental floss and wind most of it around the middle finger of one hand with the rest around the middle finger of your other hand. Firmly hold the floss between your thumb and forefinger. Guide the floss between each tooth, gently using a back and forth and side to side motion to gently move the floss between your teeth without causing it to snap. Be sure to rub each side of each tooth before unwinding more floss and moving to the next tooth. Or, you can use a "water pick" (a handheld device that steadily sprays water between your teeth and gums). Consider using a "water pick" if you don't like flossing, have braces, have bridges, or can't floss. Fill it with a 50:50 solution of mouthwash and water to increase the antibacterial protection. Your dentist might prescribe one of these to use...

TL;DR in English: See your dentist for a cleaning. Brush your teeth correctly. Floss daily. Use antibiotics or antiseptic rinses. Use herbs to massage your gums.

It doesn’t matter if it’s an aluminum or rubber balloon. They’re sold at party centers or you could rent a helium tank to fill up your own balloons for a special event. You’ll know a balloon is filled with helium if it floats. Helium is lighter than air, so it naturally rises. If a balloon stays down near the ground, it doesn’t have helium in it. If you don’t have a safety pin, a pushpin or sewing needle will work just the same. Use the pin to prick the balloon and create a really small hole, and then squeeze the hole shut with your fingers to keep the helium from escaping until you’re ready to inhale. If the balloon is inflated but not knotted, you don’t need to poke a hole in it. You can simply suck the air directly from the opening. Don’t just hold the helium in your mouth—breathe it in like you would a normal breath of air. Just 3-4 seconds should be enough to fill your lungs with helium.  It helps to exhale fully before inhaling so that you can get as much helium into your lungs at once as possible. Helium doesn’t have an odor, taste, or smell, so you really won’t be able to tell that you’re breathing in an element different from oxygen until you try to speak. As soon as you’ve finished inhaling, start talking! The helium-effect will only last for 5 seconds or so, so don’t wait too long. What you say is totally up to you! Have fun and come up with unique phrases or just repeat your name over and over again to hear how you sound. If you suck too much helium at once or for too long of a period of time, you can hurt yourself. So between each inhalation of helium, take a few minutes to breathe normally.

TL;DR in English: Get a balloon filled with helium. Poke a small hole near the balloon’s knot with a safety pin. Put your mouth over the hole and inhale while squeezing the balloon. Say something funny to hear how the helium affected your voice. Wait 2-3 minutes between each helium-inhale to rebalance your oxygen.

Angelfish eat a diet primarily composed of meat products. Their main diet should be composed of cichlid flakes and pellets. However, supplement the diet with live foods. Angelfish may enjoy things like brine shrimp, white worms, bloodworms, meal worms, as well as small insects and crustaceans. How much you feed your angelfish depends on a variety of factors, such as the fish's size or environment. You will have to observe your fish's eating habits and behaviors. There will be a trial and error period before you figure out precisely how much to feed your fish. You will also have to adjust feeding amounts as your fish grows.  Younger angelfish will need more live foods than older ones. As you angelfish age, you can feed them more pellets and flakes than live foods. For general guidelines, younger angelfish need to eat 3 to 4 times a day. After they grow to full size, however, cut back the amount of food and stick to a strict schedule. Angelfish will overeat and become overweight if fed too much. You need to make sure your angelfish's tank is clean. Each week, detach and clean out the tank filter. This will keep the tank from becoming contaminated, preventing your fish from becoming infected or ill due to bacteria.  Use one to two cups of the existing tank water to clean the filter's sponge. Remove the water from the tank. Then, unplug the filter and remove it from the tank.  Wash any gunk or grime from the filter. You should wear gloves, as the filter will be slimy. Then, use any leftover water in your bowl to give the filters and tubes from the filter a good scrub. You can then reassemble the filter and place it back in the tank. . At least once a month, you will have to replace the water. You do not need to replace all the water in the tank. Instead aim to replace around 10-25% of the tank's water each month. You may have to adjust temperature and pH levels after changing the water.

Know before you begin that the music industry is notoriously difficult to break into, so you need to be pursuing hip-hop because you love it, not to make a quick buck. Listen to as many rappers and producers as you can, discovering what sounds you love and what style of music you want to make. The more you know about hip-hop, the better equipped you will be to make it. Hip-hop is one of the easiest genres to get into, thanks to the wide variety of free music available at mixtape websites like Datpiff, LiveMixtapes, and HotNewHipHop. Hip-hop producers are famous for pulling diverse musical influences and trends together to create something new, so look for good music wherever you can find it. RZA and got famous digging through old soul albums, Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin made waves bringing rock & roll into rap, and Kanye uses a full classical orchestra behind many of his beats. There is no genre that you cannot find inspiration in as a hip-hop producer.  Listen to music for its quality, not because of its genre or reputation. Keep notes of music you like so you can find it, and potentially use it, later. Production is the process of creating an instrumental track, but in the case of hip-hop, you will usually be "playing" all of the instruments. To have full control over your sound you need to know how music works, including time signatures, chord progression, music theory, and instrumentation.  Learn how to play an instrument. Since many beats are made with a keyboard, try starting with a piano. Hip-hop has a low barrier to entry because you can theoretically make beats with nothing more than a reasonably powerful computer. These days, extra tools can plug right into your computer to give you even greater control over your music, however, and are nearly invaluable.   Keyboards: Perhaps the second most important tool next to a computer, keyboards allow you to create your own melodies and physically play your beat, which is usually much faster than inputting the notes into the computer.  Drum Machines:...

If you don't already speak the language from your cultural background, learning it is a great way to celebrate your family heritage. Sign up for languages courses at your school, cultural centre, or local community college. You can also look for free courses online and download helpful language apps for your phone (e.g. Duolingo). Ask for help from friends or family members that already speak the language. Wearing a traditional outfit from your heritage is an excellent way to show off your cultural pride and identity. Begin by asking your family if they already have a traditional outfit or costume that you can use, or research online where you might buy or rent one. If you are adept at sewing, you can look online for sewing patterns to make your own garments to wear. For example, you can rent or buy a kilt to wear if you’re from a Scottish background, particularly for an important event like a wedding If your family has history near where you live, ask them to take you to spots where they grew up and hung out. Seek out locations that reflect your cultural heritage if your family does not have personal heritage near where you live. If it is financial possible, plan a trip to the region where your ancestors are from to fully experience the roots of your heritage. It can cost a fair amount of money to visit your ancestral hometown, especially if it is far away. Plan months or even a year in advance to make the trip. After all of your hard work and research, the ultimate way to celebrate your family heritage is to throw a party. You should begin to plan the part at least a month in advance and send out invitations accordingly. Invite friends and family to share in the music, cuisine, dress, and spirit of your family heritage.

The dog will not learn if you do not have the right frame of understanding. A little research is in order before your first session, and it is always best to take an obedience class with your dog, and train as "homework". But for positive training, keep in mind:  Your mood will be picked up by your dog. If you go into training in a funk, or feeling frustrated or angry, likely your pup will feel this too. Although consistency is important, it may be better to skip training that day rather than get negative emotions into the mix. Keep training a positive activity. Be sure the dog masters #1 before going to #2. A success in one step does not necessarily mean the dog actually "gets it". You still need repetition to be sure the dog is consistent. Be sure the dog can really do the first step every time before going to the second. Keep sessions short and frequent. Dogs--and especially puppies--typically have short attention spans. Asking a dog to have prolonged periods of intense training may lead to frustration on everyone's parts. Do not get frustrated if the dog has some failures. When something new is being learned, there will always be failures. This is not a bad thing, just part of learning. If your dog picks up that he or she is disappointing you, and does not really know why, training becomes something bad.  Never punish a dog for obeying a command. If you give a command, you should never, ever give the dog any mixed signals that your signal was bad. If your dog was chasing a deer, and you command, "come" and the dog comes, praise him or her--do not rebuke him or her for chasing even though you may be upset and want to get across chasing deer is not OK. Your dog will only understand that if he or she comes, he or she is punished and may not come next time. As with any new command, you want to start with a location that’s familiar to your dog and free from distractions such as toys, small children, food, loud noises, or other animals. This allows your dog to focus as much as possible on you, the command, and...

TL;DR in English: Have the proper trainer mindset. Choose the right location. Leash your dog. Say “come” and begin taking quick steps backward. Consider using a hand signal as well. Move backward until your dog reaches you. Offer positive reinforcement. Add distractions and distance. Use the method while on walks. Issue the command without backing up. Consider group training sessions.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the powdered sugar, butter, cream, and vanilla on high, until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. If it seems too soft, add more powdered sugar until it becomes thicker and stiffer. Use a serrated knife to slice a thin layer from the top of each layer of the cake. Slicing off the slightly rounded tops that puffed up during the baking process will help the layers stack together neatly. Place the purple layer on the cake stand or plate that you'll be using to serve the cake. Use an offset spatula or icing knife to scoop a small amount of frosting onto the center of the cake. Spread it evenly across the surface of the purple layer, all the way to the edges. Add the blue cake to the stack and frost it using the same method. Repeat with the green, yellow, and orange layers, finishing with the red layer on top.  There's no need to use a scientific color order - create a rainbow using any color order you'd like. Be sure to conserve enough frosting to finish by frosting the entire cake, rather than using most of it up between layers. Scoop frosting onto the top of the cake and spread it evenly to the edges. Use more frosting to cover the sides of the cake. Be sure to use plenty, so that the layers beneath are invisible. The brightly-colored interior of the cake will remain a surprise until the first slice is cut. Finish the cake with rainbow sprinkles or nonpareils, or use a contrasting frosting color to pipe a message across its surface.

One of the best ways to avoid become anxious during a long wait, is to do something else at the same time to occupy you. One of the most frustrating aspects of waiting can be the sense that you are losing valuable time, so you can tackle this by filling this time with another activity to help the time pass more quickly. This won't always be practical, depending on the situation, but here are some examples to keep in mind:  If you are being kept on-hold on the phone, use the time to answer some emails. If you are waiting for an appointment, read a book or newspaper, or play a game on your phone. If you are stuck in traffic, don't sit there and stew, put on some music, an audiobook, or a language tape and try to make the most of it. Finding ways to distract yourself is a tried and tested way of keeping impatience at bay and helping time pass. Research has suggested, however, that this technique can backfire if you are trying very hard to consciously distract yourself from the wait. Trying to force yourself not to feel anxious can prompt even greater anxiety.  Accept that you will have to wait and there is nothing you can do about it. Take a minute to relax before you find something that will occupy you for a while. There is evidence which suggests that waiting for something with other people can help the time pass quicker. For this to work, it's important that the people are engaging with each other, talking about what they are waiting for and sharing their excitement in a positive way. For example, a group of fans waiting to get a newly released video game might have a fun time in the queue together.  Being stuck in a long silent queue will not work in the same way. Equally, being stuck in a waiting room with people who are angry and impatient will not make the time go faster. Look for a more positive engagement with other people. If you have a very long wait for something, it can help to break it up into smaller chunks. Identifying short term goals and focussing on achieving these rather than the final end...

Toxoplasmosis can be transmitted to the baby during pregnancy even if you don’t feel ill. The risks to your baby if she contracts it include:  Miscarriage and stillbirth Seizures Swollen liver and spleen Jaundice Eye infections and blindness Hearing loss which appears later in life Mental disabilities which appear later in life There are two ways that the doctor might suggest examining your baby.  An ultrasound. This procedure uses sound waves to produce an image of the baby in the uterus. It is not dangerous for the mother or the baby. It can show whether the child has signs of an infection such as excess fluid around the brain. However, it does not rule out the possibility that there could be an infection which didn’t exhibit symptoms at that time. Amniocentesis. This procedure involves inserting a needle through the wall of the mother’s abdomen and into the sac of fluid that surrounds the baby and extracting some of the fluid. The amniotic fluid can then be tested for toxoplasmosis. It has a 1% risk of causing a miscarriage. This test can confirm or exclude a toxoplasmosis infection, but if the child is infected, it won’t be able to say whether the child shows signs of having been harmed. What the doctor recommends may vary on whether the infection has spread to your baby or not.  If the infection has not spread to your baby, the doctor may recommend the antibiotic spiramycin. This medication may sometimes prevent the infection from being transmitted to your baby. If your baby is infected, the doctor will probably recommend that you alternate spiramycin with treatments of pyrimethamine (Daraprim) and sulfadiazine. These medications would likely only be prescribed after the 16th week. Pyrimethamine may prevent you from absorbing folic acid which is important for the baby’s development and cause bone marrow suppression and liver problems. Ask your doctor about side effects for you and your baby before you take them. If you were infected with toxoplasmosis during the pregnancy, your doctor will check the...

Whether you're writing clues, placing photos in special locations, or giving little gifts throughout your treasure hunt, you'll need to get all of the materials that you'll need to create your treasure hunt. Get these supplies when you're not with your partner so that they don't become suspicious.  Whether you're writing clues or giving small gifts, you'll need to prepare all of the steps to your treasure hunt. Consider numbering the each clue to make sure that you place the clues in order. Go to each of your treasure hunt locations to set up your clues. Tape your clues in place, use an object to weigh them down, hang them from a fence with ribbon, hang a banner from a tree, or have someone waiting there to hand out your clues to your partner. Each clue should be fairly easy to spot so that your partner doesn't have a problem finding it.  Consider getting your mutual friends involved to help deliver the clues to your partner in each location. Consider hiring people to help deliver clues to your partner. These people could be dressed up in costumes to really take your treasure hunt above and beyond. If you're setting up clues in stores, restaurants, etc., make sure to talk with the management to get their permission. Some of your clues may require the assistance of these stores, so make sure that they are willing to help. It's a good idea for you to do a test run of the treasure hunt so you'll know whether it works, if it's too easy or too difficult, and approximately how much time it takes to complete it. This will allow you to make any necessary adjustments before sending your partner on their romantic treasure hunt. This will also help you determine what time you should be waiting for them at their final location. Now that you've set everything up, get this romantic treasure hunt started. Give your partner their first clue, and let them begin the journey. Make sure that you are waiting it the final location by the time they get there.

The mushrooms should only take 1 to 2 weeks to fully grow, but they will develop a wavy edge around their cap when they are starting to go past their prime. They can still be eaten, but for best results, pick full-sized mushrooms just as they finish growing. Pin mushrooms are part of the first flush of growth and will become full size within 3 to 4 days. Avoid pulling the mushroom straight off since this could damage the mycelia underneath. A gentle twist and pull should be all it takes to remove the mushrooms. As an alternative, you can cut the base of the mushrooms with a pair of sanitized scissors. After 10 to 15 days, you may see another growth of mushrooms if you keep the bag moist and in a light place. They will tend to be just as large, if not larger, than the first mushrooms you collected. Mushrooms can return for multiple flushes every 2 or 3 weeks, but they will grow smaller each time. Unlike with other mushroom varieties, you can eat the stems of king oyster mushrooms. Leave them on for an easy, delicious meal.   Clean your mushrooms before adding them to any dish. King oyster mushrooms can be eaten raw or cooked.

Stir well to combine the roux paste with the liquid in the stockpot. If you are adding commercial curry cubes instead of homemade curry cubes, add them now. Break up the blocks into smaller portions. Temporarily remove the pot from the heat and add the cubes into the liquid, stirring well until completely melted. Add the peeled and chopped potato into the stockpot and stir to distribute it evenly. Continue to simmer the curry on low heat for 1 hour, or until the meat and potatoes become tender and the curry liquid is very thick. Use the full 1 hour if making beef or pork curry. If making chicken curry, you should only let it simmer for 30 to 45 minutes to prevent the chicken from overcooking and drying out. If you choose to add edamame, mix them in during the last 5 minutes of the cooking process.  You could add green peas to the curry if edamame is not available, or you could skip this part altogether. Make sure that the edamame have been removed from their shells before you add them into the curry. Ladle the curry into individual serving dishes. Serve it with a side of steamed white or brown rice. If desired, garnish with chopped fukujinzuke or rakkyou.  Traditionally, Japanese curry is served in one of two ways: you can put the curry in a sauce boat and serve it with a separate dish of rice on the side, or you can put the rice on the plate and cover half of it with curry.  Note that fukujinzuke is a sweet mixture of pickled vegetables and rakkyou are small pickled shallots. You can store extra curry by freezing it, if desired, but you should prepare the curry without potatoes if you intend to so do. Potatoes that are frozen and later thawed have a tendency to turn into unappetizing mush. Boil the potatoes separately and add them to the frozen curry after you reheat it. To freeze curry, ladle a serving's worth into a freezer-safe resealable plastic bag. Label the bag with its contents and the current date. Repeat with the rest of the curry, preparing a separate bag for each individual serving.

TL;DR in English: Transfer the roux into the base. Toss the potato in and simmer. Mix in the edamame. Serve. Finished.

The laser driver is the electrical component that controls the functioning of the laser. The diode will likely need soldered to the laser driver. There should be two leads coming from the diode for this purpose. Use a soldering gun to solder the leads to the driver at the positive and negative terminals. These terminals should be labeled on the driver and extend to the edge of the driver for soldering purposes. The driver should not be connected to any power source until soldering is complete. After the diode has been connected to the driver, you can connect the driver to a power source. Batteries are the go to choice since they make your laser portable. You will need at least AA batteries to produce a burning laser. The driver will have leads for a power supply. These leads will need to be connected to a battery pack or directly to the battery. If the leads need soldered, you will have to use a battery pack. You cannot solder onto a battery. You can buy a laser casing online to house the parts of your laser. Alternatively, you can make a laser casing from things lying around your house. Popular items used to make casings include Altos mint cans, bic lighters, and the casings of weaker laser pointers.

Stretching is important before engaging in any type of physical activity. Martial arts require limber muscles and joints, as it's very easy to pull or strain a muscle if you're not careful. Spend at least 10 minutes stretching every major muscle group that you'll be using that day before moving on to any other warm up routines.  Try a rotating stomach stretch. Lie face-down, keep your hips on the ground, and lift yourself by straightening your arms before rotating one shoulder (then the other) towards the floor.  Stretch your hamstrings by planting one foot on the floor and one foot flat on a table or other elevated piece of furniture. Bend your knee and slowly lower your chest to that knee before switching sides. Another hamstring stretch involves planting your feet shoulder-width apart and bending over towards the floor without bending your knees. Hold the stretch for 10 seconds, and repeat the stretch three to five times to maximize your flexibility. Stretch your adductor by keeping one foot planted (with toes pointed forward) and bending the other leg (with toes pointed outwards, away from you). Lower your body down and slowly stretch your groin muscles before switching sides. Your joints will play a key role in your flexibility during Muay Thai. You'll need to be able to move fluidly, which can be difficult if your joints are stiff or locked up. By warming up your joints, you'll be more flexible and limber during your training sessions and any subsequent sparring matches.  Warm up your knees by squatting down, holding your knee caps, and rotating them in circles. Aim for 20 to 30 rotations, changing direction mid-way through. Work your ankles by standing on the ball of one foot with your heel elevated and rotating the ankle between 10 to 20 times. Then switch to the other side. Loosen up your hips by standing shoulder-width apart with your hands on your waist. Twist your hips in one direction 10 times, then switch to the other direction.

Start at the spot your tested earlier and position the tip of the chisel against the wall at a downward angle. Hit the back end with your hammer to drive the blade into the plaster and separate it from the brick. Continue chiseling one patch at a time, working your way inward from the edges.  Alternatively, you can take care of the demolition phase with only a crowbar if you don’t have a suitable masonry chisel. Use the rounded end for smashing and the pointed end for prying. There’s no need to be delicate here, but don’t get carried away, either. The idea is to use enough force to loosen the plaster without damaging the underlying brick. If you’re lucky, you’ll send large chunks of plaster raining down with each strike of your chisel. If not, you’ll need to give it a little encouragement. Wedge the tip of your crowbar or putty knife beneath the outer edge of stubborn sections and pull back forcefully to coax them free of the wall.  You’re more likely to remove the plaster in broad sheets using slow, controlled strokes than you are using quick, choppy ones. Keep a few large plastic tubs or buckets on standby to catch the plaster as it comes off of the wall. Once you’ve successfully removed plaster, give the entire surface a thorough scouring, applying moderate pressure with your brush. This will loosen any remaining debris that's too small to get at with your crowbar or putty knife. Work from top to bottom to avoid spreading more dust to sections you just brushed. If you notice your wire brush leaving scratches in the brick, one solution is to buff them out using a power drill fitted with a wire brush bit. Unlike the handheld brush, the rotary bit spins a circular direction, erasing conspicuous lines and scratches.

You may be able to use a purple or blue toning shampoo to remove any orange or yellow tones from your hair, but if you want platinum-blonde hair, then you need to mix the toner with 20 or 30 volume developer.

You don’t need to section off your hair for this; just create horizontal or vertical parts using the handle of a tinting brush, then brush the toner on starting from the roots. If you are using a toning shampoo, you'll have to get your hair wet, then apply it just like you would normal shampoo. In most cases, this will be around 10 to 20 minutes. The toner will start to change color from white to purple. Do not be alarmed; this is perfectly normal.  If you are using a toning shampoo, then you'll probably only need to leave it on for about 5 to 10 minutes. Toner can stain, so it would be a good idea to cover your hair with a plastic shower cap. Bleaching is a damaging process on its own, but when combined with African American hair, it is even more damaging. A hydrating mask will help repair some of that damage by hydrating and nourishing your hair.  Avoid anything that contains sulfates. They won't affect the color of your hair, but they can make your hair feel more dry. You can use a natural mask too; it does not have to be store-bought. This is important.

Mortar and pestles are usually made in a matching set. The mortar is a small bowl and the pestle is a wand with a curve that's perfectly shaped to grind smoothly against the mortar. The instrument may be made from wood, stone or ceramic, and you'll want to choose your material based on your culinary needs and personal preferences.  Ceramic mortar and pestles are capable of grinding spices very finely, but they're also more fragile than other types.  Wood mortar and pestles are durable, but they're also slightly porous, and subject to stains. It's also possible for the flavor of one spice to stay present in the mortar between uses, tainting the flavor of the next spice you grind. Stone mortar and pestles also grind very finely, but unless they're conditioned properly, fine particles of stone can get ground into the spices. Do you want to crush large amounts of spices, seeds, and nuts, or only small amounts? You will find varying sizes from palm size to bowl size, and it may even be handy to have two different sizes if you have the space and budget for it. If you plan to grind a very large amount of spices, getting a spice grinder may be more suitable for your needs. A mortar and pestle is best for just enough spices to create whatever dish or spice mix you immediately want to use.

TL;DR in English: Pick the right material for your needs. Choose the size you want.

The 4-digit SR remotes are unique models and need to reset before they can be used. Press and hold the standby button. Release the button as soon as your device and remote shut off. This should reset you remote and your device to synchronize them with one another. It can take anywhere from 5-60 seconds for the device and the remote to shut off. To check to see if the programming was successful, try entering some common commands for your device using the remote. Try changing channels, volume, or input to see if the essential buttons work. If the device is responsive to your commands, it is successfully synchronized with your remote.  Keep in mind that there are certain buttons on the Philips universal remote that won’t do anything for your device. The “record” button may work with a cable box or DVR device for example, but it may not do anything for a TV or receiver. Move any plants or obstructions out of the way to ensure that the signal for your remote will clearly reach your device. Depending on the version that you’re using, a single Philips universal remote can be programmed to work with 2-8 other devices, although it is usually less than 4. If the other device is near the one that you just programmed, unplug the one that you already programmed to prevent any mistakes.

Pour all of the ingredients from the bowl into the saucepan and return the pan to the heat. Whisk the mixture continuously as it heats up. Once the mixture has started boiling, reduce the heat down to a low-medium setting. Keep whisking the mixture as it starts to thicken. Remove the saucepan from the heat once it is thick. You will be able to tell that the mixture is thick enough when it sticks to the back of a metal spoon.

Exhale quickly and steadily until your lungs are completely empty. Keep your lungs empty for about 5 seconds. Fill up your lungs with a single quick breath. Take a few (2-3) normal, steady breaths. Repeat this exercise 3 times daily for 20 minute periods.

If you want a basement window that will satisfy egress codes, it needs to be at least 5.7 square ft (9.9 m) in size. Specifically, the window has to be at least 20 in (50 cm) wide and 24 in (61 cm) high. Once you know the size you want your window to be, take a sketch of it to your city's building inspector's office to get a building permit. The bottom of the window can't be more than 44 in (1.1 m) from the floor. This ensures that the window is easy to use as an emergency entrance or exit. You may want to put the window on the wall that will give the best light and look the best from the exterior. Pay attention to any obstacles you might face when installing the window. Once you're satisfied with where to place the window, outline the window measurements on the wall using masking tape.  Make the outline 3 1/2 in (8 cm) wider and 1 3/4 in (4 cm) higher to account for the wooden frame. Obstacles for installation include buried utilities, plants growing on the exterior, wiring for the house, and ductwork. If you aren't sure if you have buried utilities or wiring, call your utility company before starting the project. If the joists are perpendicular to the wall you're cutting into, build a 2 x 4 ft (60 x 120 cm) support wall. Make the wall 3 ft (90 cm) in front of the wall you're cutting into. Screw the support wall firmly into place at the top and bottom where it meets the joists. If the joists aren't perpendicular to the window wall or the window will be less than 48 in (1.2 m) wide, you can skip this step. Before you begin cutting into the wall, hang 6-mil plastic sheeting from the temporary wall and staple it in place. Cut slits in the plastic so you can lift it up and staple the sheeting in between the joists. The plastic will contain the dust and debris from cutting which will make clean up easier. Measure and mark the dimensions of the window on the exterior using masking tape. Use a hammer drill and a long bit to drill pilot holes through the middle of the bottom cutting line. You'll also need to drill...

You’ll feel your chest depress slowly as the air escapes your lungs; this will feel uncomfortable at first but you’ll quickly get used to it. Start slowly when first performing this exercise. It’s possible to hurt yourself if you release the air too quickly or too strongly. If you feel discomfort or pain, stop immediately. In doing this, you are fully extending the muscles in your diaphragm. This helps to condition and strengthen your diaphragm. It will improve your endurance and make you less likely to run out of breath. As you hold this position, your reflex will be to inhale. Resist this temptation or you’ll limit the exercise’s effectiveness. Inhale as soon as you’ve held your breath for 5 seconds. Once your lungs are completely filled with air, hold this position for 10 seconds. Filling your lungs this way helps to expand your lung capacity, meaning you’ll need to take less breaths when you rap. This helps re-establish normal oxygen levels in preparation for your next repetition. You shouldn’t perform the exercise multiple times back to back without resetting; this could injure your respiratory system. Between the exercise itself and the recuperation between each “rep”, you should be able to perform about 15-20 reps per 20 minute set. Your 3 daily sets don’t necessarily have to be performed one after the other; feel free to perform them throughout the day. For instance, you can perform one when you wake up in the morning, one around lunch and one just before bed.  If you perform this exercise daily, you should see noticeable results within 4-8 weeks as your diaphragm becomes stronger and more flexible. Doing this will allow you to flow stronger for longer periods of time. As you’re not constantly rushing for breath, you’ll sound more confident when performing and have the ability to add more emphasis to your lyrics.

Choose a cardboard box with a lid. Cut a piece of sturdy cardboard for the base. Cut out four thin pieces of cardboard that will fit inside your box. Glue strips of cardboard into place. Decorate your box.

Tell your doctor or healthcare provider about any symptoms you have, including pain, bruising, swelling, or buckling of the knee. The doctor may test your knee’s range of motion by moving your leg back and forth. They may also take X-rays or an MRI of your knee.  Explain to your doctor what caused the injury as well as how long the pain has lasted. Knee hyperextension can cause injuries and tears to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Severe ligament injuries may need surgery. In most cases, your doctor will recommend a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as ibuprofen (such as Motrin or Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) to relieve the pain. These are available over the counter. In more severe cases, the doctor may prescribe you pain medication. Take the medication according to your doctor’s instructions. If you have a torn ACL or PCL, your doctor may recommend surgery to restore your torn ligament. This surgery will repair the ligament by grafting a sample of tissue from yourself or a donor into your injured knee. It can take between 2-9 months to recover from ACL or PCL surgery. At the beginning, you may need to walk on crutches. Once the pain has reduced and you are able to move more easily, your doctor may give you a referral to a physical therapist to begin a rehabilitation program. This program will help you regain flexibility and extension in your knee without injuring yourself further. For minor hyperextension issues, you may not need physical therapy. Your doctor may just recommend low-impact exercises for a few weeks.

TL;DR in English: Visit a doctor to examine the injury. Take an anti-inflammatory pain medication. Undergo knee surgery if you have a ligament tear. Get a referral to a physical therapist if necessary.

Any cardboard box with a lid should work for this project. A shoebox would be the most ideal choice, yet if you want your box to be significantly different in size than a shoebox, feel free to use whatever you can find. From a separate sturdy cardboard box, cut out a square or rectangle to act as your false bottom for your secret box.  Measure the length and width of the cardboard you are using for your secret box. Refer to these measurements when cutting out your false bottom. Do not cut the exact measurements, because then the bottom will not be able to fit into the box. Also, don’t cut too much smaller than the original measurements because then the bottom will not snug into place. Make sure to cut two half circles on either side of the bottom, this is how you will lift the false bottom out of place with your fingers. Referring to the measurements of the cardboard you will be using for your box, cut out four thin strips of cardboard to act as the foundation to the false bottom and also the walls to the secret compartment. How much room you have in your compartment will be dependent on how tall or short you make these four pieces. Take the four cardboard strips you have cut out and glue them to the walls and bottom of your cardboard box. After they dry, place the false bottom piece of cardboard on top of the strips.   Check to see if the false bottom passes off as the real bottom of your box. If all looks good, lift up the false bottom and put your secrets in the hidden compartment, then cover it again with the false bottom. Since you used cardboard for this secret box, you can decorate it however you want!  Paint Construction paper Wrapping paper Stickers Markers or crayons

Whether you keep a more old-fashioned paper file or a digital file, make a single place for all of your financial records. Create subcategories that identify the type of bill or expense.  If you're keeping digital records, you may be able to use your email account to help organize your records. Use the same email address for all of your bills and create tags or filters to put those billing statements in categories. To reduce clutter in your inbox, open a separate account for bills and don't use that email address for personal email. You can also scan your bills and make PDFs to keep on your computer as a digital copy. Keeping your income statements and receipts in one place will make for fewer headaches come tax time. If you're keeping paper files, create a separate folder specifically for deductible expenses.  Within your file for deductible expenses include files with categories, such as home and office expenses, mileage and vehicle expenses, childcare expenses, and medical expenses. Go through your expense files at least once a month. If you paid a bill that you believe is deductible, move it to the deductible file (or make a copy of it and keep it in both places). Any document that has your signature, account number, medical, legal, or other identification information should be shredded rather than simply thrown in the trash. By leaving this information intact you are putting yourself at risk for identity theft.  If you don't own a shredder, you can buy a basic one online or at office supply stores for typically around $20 or $30. There are more expensive versions that may shred faster, or shred more documents at once, or that also shred CDs or credit cards. It's up to you whether a fancier shredder is worth the investment for you. You can also subscribe to a shredding service if you don't want to do all that work yourself. For example, in the US, office supply stores such as Staples or Office Depot will shred your documents for you at the rate of about $1 per pound. Just as you may do a spring cleaning...

Sew the bedsheet and lining fabric together along the bottom edge of the skirt (the wider part of the semicircle) with the bed sheet fabric facing inward. Remove the pins and flip the skirt inside out. Unpin the bottom 2 pins from the zipper so you can match the edges of the skirt to the edges of the shirt. Sometimes there will be some excess skirt material, so simply cut the excess fabric off of the skirt. Make sure the pleats are small so they don't make the flow of the skirt look boxy.  Make sure the pleats are evenly spaced around the skirt. User your vinyl tape measure to double-check. Grasp the fabric and fold it over to the right as though you were starting to make a fan. Pin the folded section of fabric down so that it will stay in position. Iron the pleat to make it precise. Sew the pleats using downward stitches. Stop at the point where you want the skirt to twirl freely. Make sure that the dress is folded inside-out to make your seam less visible. Sew the back seam of the skirt up to 1/4" (6 mm) above where the end of the zipper would fall.  Pin the zipper's final few inches down the back of the skirt, and sew it into place.

Compliment them first. Keep your text straightforward. Read the text aloud to catch harsh phrasing. Avoid "ghosting" them.

Try to schedule a time and make sure you both have set aside an hour or two to deeply discuss the topic. Undoubtedly, you will need plenty of time to discuss the nuances of the relationship and whether or not it is something you and your partner want to pursue.  Try to get rid of any distractions, like cell phones, or computers before starting the conversation. Make sure your partner understands that the time to talk should be fairly serious. You don't want your partner to be surprised. Try to gauge their opinion before progressing any further. If he/she reacts very poorly, do not try to continue pushing the topic. It is better to cease discussion of it immediately.  Make sure to express that there is nothing wrong with your current relationship but you want to try adding another dimension. Pay close attention to your partner's body language as it may convey emotions which words may not. Be honest and open as to your motives to express that you are not trying to devalue your partner's role in the relationship.  Explain clearly that this type of relationship is giving and not selfish. It's one that is not codependent. Be sure to express that the open relationship can be on a trial period. It is okay to stop it at any time if either partner feels uncomfortable with the situation.

TL;DR in English: Find the right time to discuss the topic. Bring up the topic of an open relationship and ask what your partner thinks about it. If your partner seems to react positively, introduce what an open relationship is and why you want it for the relationship.

Communicating by text may be the only way if you met this person through online dating, but take special care to compliment them first. Sometimes tone doesn't quite translate well through text. Paying them a compliment first will prevent your message from taking a harsh tone.  You might write, for example: "I enjoyed going out with you last week! You're an amazing hiker. That said, I just didn't feel the spark that would make me interested in a second date." Don't sugarcoat your words. Over-flattering them may give the person false hope. Write one or two compliments, then move on. Having this conversation through text can make the message long and rambling. Your recipient will understand you best if you keep the text simple. Aim for 3-5 sentences, at most. You might say, for example: "Hey, I had a fun time getting to know. Right now, though, I'm not interested in another date. Hope all is well!" Running through your text aloud can limit the disconnect in tone between texting and talking in-person. Consider how the words feel when said aloud and if there is a kinder way of phrasing your feelings, if your response seems cold.  Instead of texting, "Thanks, but you're not my type, buddy," for example, you could text, "You are a sweetheart. I'm glad we went out, but I think it would be best if we didn't schedule a second date." Adding an emoji, like a smiley face, can help make the text feel less brusque. Maturity is important when letting them know over text, as is treating their feelings seriously. If they ask you about a second date over text, respond to them directly. Deleting the text and forgetting about them might seem tempting, but you risk hurting the other person.

Acknowledge your specific fears. Understand your triggers. Question the power the fear holds over you. Imagine the outcome you desire.

so you look and smell great. Shower daily, wash your face every day, and brush your teeth twice a day. Put on deodorant before you leave the house, and do your laundry every week or so. Doing these things will help you look and smell awesome so you can flirt with confidence.  In addition, it’s a good idea to get a haircut every 4-6 weeks and cut your nails regularly.  Shave 1 or more times a week to keep your skin smooth and touchable. You don’t have to wear sexy clothing to feel confident and cute in your outfits. Pick a button-down, jeans, dress, skirt, or blouse that boosts your confidence. Fill your wardrobe with awesome items that make you feel great so you can feel fun and flirty in any outfit.  Put on a form-fitting white tee and a pair of tailored, dark-washed jeans for a casual yet playful look. Wear a pencil skirt with a cream-colored lace blouse for a feminine style that you can play up for work or for a night out. If you wear very revealing clothing, you may seem desperate rather than flirty. Be tasteful with the amount of visible cleavage, for example. In particular, showing off your neck is a flirty gesture that may get the interest of your crush. Choose tops with a “V”-cut to show off your neckline, and try wearing a choker-style necklace to draw attention to your neck. This is an easy way to add a subtle flirty touch. Styling your hair in a sexy way can instantly boost your confidence level. Tousled waves are flirty because they can mimic that sexy, bedhead style. High ponytails are fun because you can show off your facial features and neck. You can feel flirty and cute with nearly any hairstyles, but search online for inspiration if you want ideas.  To make tousled waves, try braiding your hair and sleeping with them in to make instant curls. You can also use a curling iron to curl all of your hair. Then, use a blowdryer or your hands to tousle the curls into soft, relaxed waves. For a high ponytail, comb all of your hair back and grasp it at the crown of your head. Secure your hair with an...

It's easy to ignore or deny your fears, even to yourself. But courage can't come into play unless you have a fear to face down. By owning your feelings you've taken the first step toward gaining control over the situation.  Name your fear. Sometimes fear makes itself known immediately, clearly, and other times it’s more difficult to name those anxious feelings lurking in the back of your mind. Let your fear rise to the surface and give it a name. It may be concrete (like a fear of cats) or situational (like a fear of being called on in class). Don’t judge your fears. Acknowledge what comes up with no attachment to “good” or “bad.” Is it something obvious, like the sight of a snake on a trail? Maybe passing your career counselor's office door sends your mind into a downward spiral when you walk down the corridor in your high school. Figure out everything that triggers your fear. The more you can understand your fear, the better. Does your fear cause you to stay in bed instead of getting up and going to a class you're afraid of failing? Do you avoid visiting your family in another state because you don't want to get on a plane? Figure out exactly what power your fear has over your mind and behavior. Now that you better understand your fear, think about what exactly you want to change. Think about yourself experiencing life without your fear. How do you feel?  For example:  If your fear is commitment, imagine yourself happily with a partner. If your fear is heights, imagine yourself conquering a tough hike. Connect with the feeling of accomplishment. If your fear is spiders, imagine yourself seeing a spider and feeling neutral.

This is a common myth held by students. Particularly if you’re a slow reader, you may find it more effective to read the beginning and end of the chapter, along with pull-outs (information placed in a box, graph, or other attention-grabbing area on the page) and anything bolded or italicized in the text. Another common mistake students make is to read their textbook once and then never look at it again. A better strategy is to practice layered reading.  On your first read-through, skim the material. Determine what the main idea or goal of the text is (often signaled by the chapter title and subheadings), and mark any places that you didn’t feel as though you understood well. Read headings, subheadings, and other organizational elements. Textbook authors often construct their chapters so that it is very clear what the goal of each section is. Use this to your advantage. Read for more detail in later readings. Sometimes, students will just move their eyes along the page again and again and feel like they’re not getting anything from their “reading.” Reading is an active process: you need to be engaged, paying attention, and thinking about what you read. While it’s tempting to break out the rainbow of highlighters when you read through a chapter, avoid this temptation. Research has shown that highlighting actually can hamper your reading because you may feel tempted to highlight every single thing you feel is important without thinking critically about the ideas presented. If you must highlight, wait until you’ve completed your first read-through, and use the highlighter sparingly to point out only the most important ideas. It can be tempting to just read past words or elements you don’t understand in an effort to “just get it done.” This actually damages comprehension. If a dense textbook on Marxist economics has terms that you don’t initially understand, don’t just read on: stop what you’re doing, look up the word, and understand it before continuing.

TL;DR in English: Understand that you do not have to read every single word. Plan to read more than once. Understand that reading is not the same as studying. Know that highlighting is not ideal for first-time reading. Understand that you may need to look things up while reading.

Sweet persimmons are typically tomato-shaped, and often sold under the name Fuyu in the West. If your persimmon does not match this description, read the ID guide above. You won't enjoy it if you follow these instructions with the wrong type of persimmon. Sweet persimmons taste best when firm and crisp. A ripe persimmon is orange or deep orange-red.  A yellow persimmon is edible, but not fully ripe. Do not eat an unripe green persimmon, which will always taste astringent.  You can eat it overripe as well, with a spoon. This tastes different, but you might like it. Rub the persimmon clean under running water. The peel is edible, so wash it thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, cut off the leaf-like flower and stem. Slice the persimmon into thin wedges or slices, as you would a tomato. The skin is edible and usually thin. If you prefer to peel it, briefly immerse the whole fruit in hot water. Remove with tongs, then peel. This is the same process as blanching tomatoes. A sweet persimmon should be firm and crisp, with a sweet flavor. If there are seeds, remove and discard them.  Try adding lemon juice, or cream and sugar.  For more uses, check out the recipes below.
