Ask for a thyroid check. Ask for a urine test.

Place the 2 edges that you’re going to seam together in close proximity—roughly 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) apart. This will give you enough space to apply the 2-part epoxy to the edges, but also make it easier to squeeze the pieces together quickly. This also gives you the opportunity to take one more look at how well the 2 pieces match up. Buy a kit with rubber suction cups and metal turnbuckles (which look like very long bolts) that are intended for clamping countertop seams. For each pair of suction cups, thread a turnbuckle through the openings in the top by turning it clockwise. You want the suction cups to be spaced about 4–6 in (10–15 cm) apart on the turnbuckle so you’ll have room to work between and beneath them.  2 pairs of suction cups and 2 turnbuckles should be sufficient for most countertop seams, but you can use 3 or more for longer seams. You can also buy or rent a tool known as a “seam puller” or “seam setter” that uses vacuum pumps to pull and hold the granite pieces together. If you choose one of these, follow the instructions for proper use. Think of it as placing 2 or 3 “bridges” over the seam, with each turnbuckle serving as the bridge span and the suction cups as the bridge piers. Try to space the suction cups an equal distance from the seam—roughly 2–3 in (5.1–7.6 cm) each.  Make sure the suction cups stick well to the granite. Try moistening the underside of each cup with a damp fingertip if needed. After you apply the 2-part epoxy to the seam, you’ll tighten the turnbuckles to pull the pieces of granite tightly together.

TL;DR in English: Lay the 2 pieces of granite side-by-side. Thread turnbuckles through 2-3 pairs of suction cups. Stick each pair of suction cups on either side of the granite seam.

If you are concerned about your iodine levels and needs, ask for a check of your thyroid function. Iodine deficiencies can cause enlarged thyroid glands (goiter) and can often be corrected through dietary changes, medication, or iodine supplementation. Excess dietary iodine is secreted in the urine, so iodine levels can be easily assessed through urine checks; some health professionals may request a series of checks to get a more accurate representation of your average iodine levels. If you are deficient in urinary iodine, your health professional can recommend the best way to address the deficiency.

" Narrative prompts ask you to tell a story, usually about yourself. You may also see the words "Describe" or "write about." For example, a narrative prompt might look like this: "Talk about a time when you experienced friendship" or "Describe a moment when you showed courage." You'll want to gear the narrative you tell to answer the prompt. You will often want to write about a moment that taught you a lesson or had an impact on your life. Write in first person. Tell the story as yourself, using "I" and "me." Your introduction provides the setting and context for your narrative. Let the reader know what you will be writing about, who the major "characters" are, and the purpose of your narrative. This purpose is your thesis statement. A narrative thesis statement may offer the lesson you learned or talk about the impact of the moment on your life, such as "The most memorable moment in which I showed courage happened in seventh grade." It could also identify a theme that connects your story to a greater theme, such as "Most people do not know how courageous they can be until they're faced with danger. This was true for me, too." Use description, metaphor, anecdotes, dialogue and other literary devices. You may want to structure your essay chronologically to show the development of the lesson over time. This is usually the clearest way to structure your essay. Use words such as "then," "next," and "finally" to show your progress. This is where you come back to the thesis you gave in the beginning. What did you learn? How has the experience changed you in some way?

Most elements can naturally occur in multiple forms, or isotopes. The mass number for each isotope is the sum of numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Each proton and each neutron weigh 1 atomic mass unit (amu). The only difference between two isotopes of the same element is the number of neutrons per atom, which affects the atom's mass. However, the element always has the same number of protons.  The average atomic mass of the element takes the variations of the number of neutrons into account, and tells you the average mass per atom in a typical sample of that element. For example, the element silver (Ag) has two naturally occurring isotopes: Ag-107 and Ag-109 (or 107Ag and 109Ag). Isotopes are named after the "mass number," or the sum of protons and neutrons in one atom. This means Ag-109 has two more neutrons per atom than Ag-107, giving it slightly more mass. You'll need two pieces of information for each isotope, which you can look up in a reference book or an online source such as webelements.com. The first is the atomic mass, or the mass of one atom of each isotope. Isotopes with more neutrons have more mass.  For example, the silver isotope Ag-107 has an atomic mass of 106.90509 amu (atomic mass units). The isotope Ag-109 is slightly heavier with a mass of 108.90470. The last couple decimal places might be slightly different in different sources. Don't include any numbers in parentheses after the mass. The abundance tells you how common the isotope is, as a percentage of all atoms of the element. Each isotope contributes proportionally to its abundance (the more abundant the isotope, the more it will contribute to the average atomic mass). You can find this in the same source you found the mass. The abundances of all isotopes should add up to 100% (though it might be slightly off due to rounding errors).  The isotope Ag-107 has an abundance of 51.86%. Ag-109 is slightly less common with an abundance of 48.14%. This means that a typical sample of silver is 51.86% Ag-107 and 48.14% Ag-109....

TL;DR in English: Understand isotopes and atomic masses. Look up the mass of each isotope. Write down the abundance of each isotope. Turn your abundance percentages into decimals. Find the weighted average of the atomic mass of its stable isotopes.

Sprinkle your cut avocado with lemon or lime juice. Cover it in clear plastic wrap. Monitor it for ripeness.

Before you begin building a fire, it’s important to verify that fires are allowed in the area. Look around your campsite for posted signs, which will usually inform you if fires aren’t permitted. You can also ask a ranger or the campsite’s host if fires are allowed.  Don’t assume that a campfire is permitted just because there’s a fire ring at your campsite. It may be intended for use with a camping stove but not an open flame. In some cases, there may be fire restrictions in place, which limit the types of fires that you are permitted to light. Make sure you understand what materials you’re allowed to use for your fire. Campfires may not be permitted at certain altitudes, in areas that are experiencing droughts and are extremely dry, or at times when the winds are very strong. Some campsites have specific fire rings designed for building a fire. However, if you’re camping in an area that doesn’t have a fire ring, it’s important to choose the right spot for the fire. Make sure that the site is at least 15-feet from tents, shrubs, trees, and any other flammable objects.  If your campsite has a fire ring, there may be ashes in it from a previous fire. Push them to the outside of the ring to make room for your fire. If the ashes are completely cold, you can also place them in a plastic bag so can dispose of them properly later. Make sure the spot that you choose is shielded from wind gusts, which can not only make it more difficult to light but can help spread the fire if the flames get too large. It’s best to build a campfire on bare dirt, so you may need to clear the spot you’ve chosen. Remove any dead grass, leaves, or other vegetation to create an 8- to 10-foot area of bare soil for the fire. Next, dig down into the dirt for several inches to create a pit to contain the fire.  Keep the removed dirt close to the fire. You can use it to help smother the flames in case of an emergency. You can place the removed dirt in a mounded ring around your fire pit to serve as a firewall. Setting large rocks around the...

Since your avocado is open and vulnerable to the world, keep it from turning brown and too mushy with an acidic agent like lemon juice. You want it to ripen, not ruin. Place the two halves back together and wrap it in plastic wrap as if it were whole. Place it in the refrigerator. If you don't have plastic wrap, use an airtight, resealable container. The length of time it needs to ripen all depends on how far along your avocado was in the process. Take it out and prod it -- when it becomes soft and seems edible, give it a taste test. If it's not quite there, put it back in.

Hold your four dominant fingers together and hit the head of the tambourine in the top or bottom third of the tambourine. Play a simple standard strike to whatever beat or rhythm the accompanying music requires. Striking the tambourine in the center usually produces a muddled tone. Hold the tambourine in your non-dominant hand and hit the head with a snare drumstick. Use more pressure while you hit the head for a louder sound and vice versa for softer. Hold the tambourine at a slight angle from horizontal, and curl your four dominant fingers into a fist. Press your thumb against the tambourine's head and drag it in a circular motion. This should cause the zils, or metal cymbals, to make a sustained jingling sound. Thumb rolls are ideal for short jingling sounds but, if you need something longer than a few seconds, a shake roll will work better. Hold the tambourine vertically in front of you and twist it back and forth with your non-dominant hand. Shake it as quickly or as slowly as you want depending on the rhythm you're trying to achieve.

Place clams on a clean, dry towel, and shuffle through them loosely. Discard any that look abnormal or are open, in the outside trash, otherwise their stench will quickly overpower. . Have something like a bucket, tub, or sink in which to soak the clams. The soaking process will clean the clams prior to cooking.  Make a weak brine solution – 1/3 cup of non-iodized salt (iodine will kill clams) to one gallon (3.7 liters) of water should work. Soak clams in the brine for about fifteen minutes, to remove all grit from inside and outside the clam. Fresh water works decently as well. Pour the clams into a strainer, and hold under a stream of cold water. Scrub thoroughly with a metal brush. Place clams back on the towel you had them on earlier. Rub them dry gently to remove any final grit. For every pound (453g) of clams, add half a cup of water. Layer the clams into the cooking container with the water (or white wine). Cover the cooking container and place over high heat. Here, you can choose to add the aromatic ingredients listed above. They are not needed, but if you prefer more flavorful clams, add the extra ingredients, or even just some of them. Keep in mind that the amounts are for three pounds (1.3kg) of clam, so you may need to add or subtract amounts depending on how many clams you have.  If you do chose to add them, this is the moment to do so. the clams. Allow the clams enough time to open their shells - this will be indicated by a burst of steam and popped-open shells, anywhere from 2–3 minutes to 5-10 minutes, depending on the type of clams. If some don't open in this time, discard them as they probably were already dead. Cook Stephanie Alexander even suggests giving the ones that do not open another go at steaming because sometimes the clams have a very tight and vigorous hold on the shell (be sure to remove those that have already opened as they're ready). Remove the open clams from the kettle or other container and place them in a dish, possibly with a small amount of the broth around them. Lemon...

Every day, find the opportunity to compliment her about small things: tell her that she's beautiful, or that you love it when she sings, or that you admire the way that she stood up to her frustrating boss. Don't just recycle the same compliments! Try to think of something new to say. This is not just about giving her a compliment – it's about challenging yourself to continually appreciate your girlfriend for the unique, beautiful, and always-growing human being that she is.  Find unique and genuine ways to phrase your compliments. Don't just say, "You're really beautiful." Say, "Sometimes I am just so captivated by how gorgeous you are. I can't stop staring at you today." Don't just appreciate her physical beauty. Show her that you appreciate her personality, her creativity, her intellect – the things that really make her who she is. Try to compliment her on the qualities that you know are important to her. A romantic declaration isn't always as playful as some of the other flirting methods, but it can make your girlfriend feel warm, safe, and loved.

To run a successful warehouse operation, you'll need to listen and respond to your workers. Consider implementing an open-door policy for any employees with questions or concerns. You can also allow workers to make anonymous comments or suggestions via a comments box. This will allow you to deal with employee complaints before they become serious problems. Look for potential employees who conduct themselves professionally and are skilled enough for the position.  Once you have several applicants for the position, make a hiring decision based on their applications and interviews. Involve the appropriate supervisor in the decision. He or she may have good insight in picking the right applicant. Once a new employee has been hired, you may need to help them get started. This may involve supervising their training or performing parts of their training yourself. You may want to show them around the warehouse and introduce them to other supervisors with whom they may be working.   Make yourself available in case new hires have questions while they are settling in. Retraining may also be required, as processes within the warehouse's organization may change. Make sure to schedule time for retraining each employee if this is the case. You can also cross-train employees (train them in more than one role) so that if one employee is ill or fired, others can temporarily take their place. Meet with all employees regularly and review their performance. This is an opportunity for growth an encouragement. Talk to the employee about his strengths and reward excellent performance and behavior. Discuss ways in which the employee can improve, address any weaknesses or bad behavior, and make a plan for improvement.  You may also ask supervisors for input regarding employee performance. Make sure you follow up with any corrective actions. Letting employees go is never easy, but a good manager recognizes when doing so is necessary.

While you’re studying math or working on your homework, make your environment as distraction-free as possible. Put the cell phone aside and turn off the TV. Don’t have anything other than your textbook and a calculator on your desk, as you might be tempted to play with the object and lose concentration. If studying with friends distracts you from your work, plan to do your math work alone. If it helps, you could set a timer (say, for 1 hour) and aim to concentrate on the work before you in the time you’ve set aside for it. There will plenty of time for the other things later. Your detailed notes won’t do you much good if you never refer back to them! When you sit down to do your homework or solve a few math problems, take 10–15 minutes to re-read the notes you took during the previous math lecture. This will keep the steps you’ll use to solve an equation or calculate a variable fresh in your mind and prevent any potential misunderstandings. If you’re confused by your notes or can’t read your own handwriting, try re-reading the chapter of your math textbook that you’re currently working through. Doing this will help you to understand the mathematical topics you’re currently working on. Instead of viewing your math homework as an obligation, look at it as a great way to improve your math skills on your own! To that end, make sure that you do 100% of the problems on each assignment you’re given. If you’re not quite sure how to do an assigned problem or feel like it’s over your head, speak to your teacher after class and ask for their help. If you’d rather not ask the teacher, you could also ask one of your peers or friends how to solve a tricky problem. Once you are finished with the assigned homework problems, try working a few extra ones in an area of math that you’re struggling to understand. After completing 3–5 extra problems, check your answers against those given in the back of the book. If one of your answers is incorrect, check your work and find where you slipped up. Working extra problems is a great...

TL;DR in English: Turn off and remove all distractions to increase your focus. Read through the math-related notes you took during class. Complete every problem on all of your math assignments. Work additional problems on your own to master difficult topics. Break down tough problems into easier, smaller parts. Work example problems and check your answer against the given result. Figure out why you missed the problems that you solved incorrectly. Explain tricky concepts to your peers to understand the math better. Apply math concepts to real-world issues to make them more relatable. Work with a tutor for personal instruction and mentoring.

By booking early, you’ll have a larger selection of boats to choose from. If negotiations with 1 broker fall through, you will still have time to hire another. You must hire a broker to charter a yacht. The broker will present you with many different options for boats. They can also provide advice regarding your trip, such as what to do at your destination or what to look for in a good yacht.  Make sure your broker is a member of a national or international yacht brokerage organization, such as the International Yacht Broker’s Association, the Mediterranean Yacht Broker’s Association, or the American Yacht Charter Association. You can look up yacht charter brokerages online. If you know someone who has chartered a yacht in the past, ask them for their opinion. Yacht brokers are paid on commission by the yacht's owner. In most cases, you will not have to pay the broker. Once you have found the broker, they will send you a list of boats that fit your budget and travel plans. Go through each boat carefully. Once you have chosen a few you like, call your broker and ask questions about each vessel. Some questions you may want to ask include:  What is the safety record of this boat? What kind of insurance does the boat have? What will happen if the boat breaks down or becomes unavailable before my trip? What is the smoking policy on board? What is the pet policy? Is this crew good with children? Do you have a certified dive master on board if I want to go Scuba diving? The Charter Hire is the base price of the boat, which covers the cost of the crew and the use of the boat. These fees can vary based on the owner, model of ship, crew size, and amenities of the ship. The charter can cost anywhere from $25,000 to $1,000,000 USD a week. This document lists everything consumable on the yacht. The APA covers all fuel, food, and custom duties that you are responsible for. Read through the APA carefully. Ask your broker about any fees you don’t understand.

Use the thin handle of a comb to decrease tension at the scalp. Spray a leave-in conditioner at the base of the braids. Use a braid spray to soften and loosen your hair. Massage your scalp with oil every day for 1 to 2 minutes.

Following the same process as with the primer, cut in with your chosen paint color. This will help your paint job look more professional, since you won’t have to squish your roller into the corners of the room. Depending on the color you’ve chosen and the original color of your walls, you might need 2 or 3 coats of paint. You should apply this many coats even where you’re cutting in. Otherwise, the paneling might show through on your edges. Once you’re done cutting in the room with paint, you can apply the rest of the paint with a roller. Start at the edge of your cut-ins, and roll on the paint in large vertical strips. Make sure the paint gets into the edges between the paneling. Keep the paint brush you used for cutting in near you during this step. If you notice paint clumping up in the edges between panels, swipe down with the paint brush. This will remove the excess paint and make your wall look smooth. Sanding the paint job between coats should remove any clumps you couldn’t get with your paint brush. Wait for your paint job to be completely dry, usually overnight. Use 100-grit sandpaper on a sanding pole or orbital sander to lightly sand the walls. Wipe down the walls with a damp rag after each round of sanding. Wear safety glasses and a paper face mask while you sand. They can prevent any dust from getting into your eyes or mouth and irritating you. It will probably take 2 or 3 coats of paint for the wood paneling to be completely covered. If the paneling is darker, it may take more. Allow the final coat of paint to dry overnight, and then remove any painters' tape and tarps. You can also replace furniture at this point.

TL;DR in English: Cut in with your choice of paint. Roll a coat of paint onto the wall. Let the wall dry completely before lightly sanding it between coats. Repeat painting and sanding until you have the desired color on your walls.

Slip the thin end of a long-handled fine-tooth comb underneath cornrows or tight braids to get some relief. You could also use the blunt end of a skewer or the eraser end of a pencil. Gently wiggle the eraser, skewer, or handle to loosen the braid at the scalp. Be careful and take your time so as not to ruin your braids. Keep in mind that the braids will loosen up on their own over time. Adding a leave-in conditioner to your dry braids can reduce their tension and tightness. Lightly mist your scalp with leave-in conditioner and use your fingers to gently work the conditioner into your scalp and braids. Alternatively, you could spray cold water onto your scalp for instant relief. If you get your hair braided often, invest in a specially formulated braid spray to soften your hair and soothe your scalp. You can pick up these sprays at salons and stores that sell specialty beauty products. Spritz the braid spray on your scalp to prevent itching and lubricate your braids, which will soften and loosen them.  Look for soothing sprays made with aloe vera, tea tree oil, sulfur, or lavender oil. Use this spray when you're getting ready in the morning and throughout the day as needed to reduce tension caused by tight braids. While you have braids in, it's important to do daily scalp massages with oil. Use 1 tbsp (14.8 mL) of a pure, natural oil like avocado, castor, coconut, jojoba, or almond oil. Apply the oil to your scalp, then massage it in with your fingers using gentle, circular motions. Do this for 1 to 2 minutes each day. Try adding a few drops of essential oil to the oil you choose to scent and refresh your scalp. Peppermint essential oil can help with scalp itchiness, so consider using that for your daily scalp massages.

Use a body scrub the morning before you want to cover up your stretch marks. Try a body scrub made with caffeine. This may make your skin appear tighter and smoother. Try a leg and body cover up cream. There are a number of cover ups on the market that will cover up stretch marks and other lines that detract from healthy-looking skin. No one has the exact same skin, so you may have to try a few products to see which is best for you.  Choose a color that will match your skin tone. Remember that it may be lighter or darker than your face makeup. Choose a body cover up that includes sunscreen if you are regularly exposed to sunlight. Sunburns reduce the elasticity of your skin and make stretch marks more noticeable. If you don’t have access to leg and body cover up, use a primer moisturizer or a waterproof concealer. Choose a concealer with green undertones to cover up red marks. Dip a flat foundation brush into the cover up product. Dab it gently onto the areas with stretch marks. Aim to use a very light layer of makeup. Assess the coverage that you get with a single layer. Layer the makeup in thin coats until you achieve the desired effect. It will quickly be obvious to you if it is working.  If you are going to wear a swimsuit, put it on before you apply makeup. Use a powder brush to apply setting powder. Leave the powder a few minutes before changing into a short skirt or shorts. A spray-on makeup fixative will also work to set the cover up or concealer.

Research your town or city's anti-barking laws. Call the relevant authority to report a noise complaint. Call animal control to report abuse. Get other neighbors to file the same complaint. Sue the dog owner in small claims court.

Whether you are dealing with your own parents, a spouse's parents, or the parents of one of your students, you may at some point be given unsolicited advice. If this happens, it's important to restrain your frustration and refrain from getting angry.   If you are getting unwanted advice from a spouse's parents, talk to your spouse. It's best if your spouse addresses his or her own parents, rather than you telling them to stop.  Remember that unsolicited advice is, at heart, an effort at showing concern. If you're getting unwanted advice from your parents or from a student's parents, you may need to communicate (calmly) that you feel frustrated by the constant advice.   Politely tell the parent that you understand he means well, but that constantly giving unsolicited advice makes you feel threatened in some ways.  Bring the subject up when you're both calm and when you both have time to sit and talk. Once you've addressed the unsolicited advice you've been getting, you'll need to make your request for the advice to stop.  Ask the parent to trust you and respect you enough to make your own decisions. Let him know that you share his concerns and will work toward the same goals, but that you need the freedom to do it in your own way.

TL;DR in English: Be patient with unsolicited advice. Talk calmly with the person giving advice. Ask for trust and respect.

Look online at your town or city's codes, by-laws or dog legislation. There may be a code against unruly pets or incessant barking at night; many places have legislation or regulations in place that deals specifically with dogs and/or noise. There might also be a code covering ignoring requests from neighbors.   Often neighborhood or civil dispute centers produce small briefs on dog issues, as they're rather commonplace complaints. See if a precedent has already been set in your neighborhood. You may want to share your findings with your neighbor to give him or her one last chance to change before you call the authorities. If you're pretty sure it won't work, move straight to the next step. Find out what town hall/council/municipal office or other relevant authority to call so you can file a report on your neighbors for a noise complaint.The authorities will talk to the dog owner and assess the situation. They will usually inform you of the outcome. If nothing changes, call again a few days later.   You might want to ask if anonymity is an option when you file the report. In some cases, this may not be an issue for you, especially if it's plain-as-day that you're the one pointing the finger thanks to previous attempts. However, if you have various upset neighbors, maintaining anonymity may be useful to prevent retaliation of any sort. Some jurisdictions will act on anonymous complaints, while others require your name and address but won't reveal this to the neighbor complained about. Check the public or private status of making a complaint before making it. If you believe the barking is a result of neglect or another form of abuse, you have the right to call animal control. If the dog is being severely abused it will be confiscated from the owner, but in most cases, animal control won't take the dog away. Instead, they'll come to assess the situation and try to educate the owners as to how to properly care for the dog.   If the dog is left outside during extreme heat or cold, this would be considered a good...

If you have fair skin or are wearing the berry lipstick during the day, you may not want the color to be too intense. To soften the look, apply the lipstick to your finger and then lightly tap your fingertip against your lips to create a stain. Be careful when you’re applying the lipstick near the edge of your lips. It’s difficult to be precise with your fingertip, so you may want to use a matching lip liner and only tap the lipstick on the center of your lips. You’ll get the richest, most opaque berry color if you apply the lipstick directly from the tube. Smooth it over your lips, taking care around the edges to prevent the lipstick from bleeding outside your lip line. If you feel like you can’t be precise enough with the lipstick bullet, you can use a lip brush to apply it. The lipstick won’t be as opaque, but you’ll still get rich color and more precision. Your berry lipstick will last longer if you apply multiple layers. However, you don’t want to apply too much lipstick and have it bleed outside your lip line. Before applying a second layer, use a tissue to blot your lips and remove any excess lipstick. If you have oil blotting papers, which are typically used to blot oil away from the face without disturbing your makeup, you can use those to blot your lips. They’ll remove the excess emollient left behind by the lipstick without removing any of the pigment. After you’ve blotted your lips, apply a second layer of lipstick. Be just as precise as you were with the first layer so your lipstick appears neat and even. If you apply the first layer of lipstick directly from the tube, you can switch to a finger or a brush for the second. That’s because that first layer will provide a rich base so the color will look opaque.

TL;DR in English: Use your finger for a light stain. Apply the lipstick from the tube for opaque color. Blot your lips. Put on a second layer of lipstick.

You must let the plastic cool before removing it from the mold, or it won’t form correctly. Carefully pop the lure out of the mold  by turning it upside down and pressing on the bottom of the mold. Be sure to lay the molded plastic out flat, as it will set in the position in which you lay it out. If the lure does set in a crooked position, you can melt it down and re-pour it. First, transfer the soft plastic lure to a cookie sheet or baking pan. Trim the excess with a craft knife, scissors, or a pizza cutter. As you trim the excess, gather it together. You can melt it down and add it to your next soft plastic lure, or you can add the shavings at the very end to add highlights to lures of a contrasting color.

Fill a coupe, martini glass, or any short cocktail glass with ice and set it to the side. If you want to chill the glass farther in advance, put the empty glass into the freezer and leave it to chill for at least 15 minutes. If you plan on serving the Manhattan on ice, use a short glass instead of a coupe. Try to use ice cubes instead of crushed ice, since crushed ice will melt too quickly. Keep in mind that you want to add the ice to the shaker or mixing glass just before you're ready to stir and serve the cocktail. If you put the ice into the shaker or glass before pouring in the bitters, rye, and vermouth, you won't be able to control how much the ice dilutes the cocktail. Spear a cocktail cherry, such as a maraschino or luxcardo, onto a cocktail pick and place it directly in the drink. Serve the Manhattan right away so it stays cold.

If you want your team to be motivated, then you have to explain the positive outcomes of achieving the objective. By incorporating this team motivating step, you are putting the control over their future compensation or other rewards into their own hands. Your team should see how their success would benefit not only the company, but also each individual team member. If you really want to motivate them, then you have to make your goals as concrete as possible so they can feel a tangible reward. For example, saying "We have to work harder so the company looks better" won't motivate employees as much as saying, "If we improve our sales by 10%, then we'll make enough revenue to give out Christmas bonuses this year." Build a sense of curiosity within your team members' mindsets so that that they are interested enough to want to achieve the goals you expect. By doing this, your team members will want to learn more. This can be achieved if you understand what excites or interests your team members. Get to know what matters most to the members as a team and as individuals. If you keep things interesting and exciting by mentioning concrete goals, changes, and improvements, they will want to keep working. Don't just tell your team members what to do. Keep them interested and up-to-date on as much of the company process as you can so that they care about what's happening and have questions about the process. Know what your team is capable of and set a goal that they can actually reach. It's good to be ambitious when setting goals, but if you make them so challenging that your team is destined to fail, then everyone will only feel discouraged. Establish a realistic goal and provide a tool that shows their progress as they get closer to attaining that goal. Setting micro-goals along the way is also a great way to ensure success, so your team doesn't feel like it's all or nothing. For example, if you have a project that needs completing, create a chart that breaks that project into smaller goals so that, as they achieve...

When it comes to dressing during pregnancy, comfort and style are key. What feels right in week 9 may feel downright wrong by week 14.  What perfectly flatters your curves during the second trimester may become rather indecent by the tail end of your pregnancy. Buy the right size for your changing body. Do not buy larger clothes then you need unless you like how they look. Purchase clothing designed for maternity wear when you start to show if you wish. This clothing will be built for greater comfort, and it’s usually a better idea than purchasing regular clothing in bigger sizes. If cost is an issue, check thrift stores. You can usually wear regular clothes for the first three months. Avoid the temptation to just buy much larger clothes unless you want to. The problem with just buying larger clothes is it can make you look, well, larger. Maternity clothes will be fitted in the right places while allowing room for the bump, so they can help you retain a sense of shape. Different people carry their babies different ways. Some people have high pregnancies, for example, and some people carry the baby lower.  For those carrying their babies low, clothing that’s soft on the waistline will be more comfortable. Shirts cut below the bump can look attractive. If you’re carrying high, you can try to create a line between the breasts and bump by adding high belts and ties. Don’t give up. Just because you’re pregnant, doesn’t mean you can’t retain your typical style. You don’t always have to go for the sweatpants, either. In the first trimester, the challenge for many is to keep the pregnancy under wraps. Many people don't want to divulge their growing secret until at least the second trimester. Thus, you can usually stick to non-maternity clothing for the first three months.  What to do: Go into your closet and put aside anything that feels too tight or clingy. Stick with silhouettes that flow over belly, hips, and thighs that can camouflage the few pounds you may gain in the first months. Wear soft knits, A-line...

TL;DR in English: Dress differently depending on pregnancy stage. Know your body type and shape. Dress for the first trimester. Dress for the second trimester. Dress for the final trimester. Consider buying one of those stretchy bands.

Nearly all modern computers have the sound card built-in to the motherboard. You can double-check that you have a sound card built-in by looking for speaker jacks on the back of the computer. Sound cards are really only necessary for audiophiles and recording studio computers, or for very old computers that don't have built-in sound. This will allow you to move your computer to a place that allows you to easily access it. Place the computer on its side on a table, with the ports on the back closest to the table. The ports are connected to the motherboard, so having them closest to the table will ensure that you can get to the motherboard when the case is open. Avoid laying the computer on carpet. Most newer cases have thumbscrews, but you may need a Phillips-head screwdriver. The screws run down the back of the computer. Remove the panel on the opposite side of the motherboard and set it aside. You should always ground yourself when working inside your computer. You can use an electrostatic wrist strap or touch a metal water tap to discharge any electrostatic buildup. If you don't ground yourself, you run the risk of damaging your components with electrostatic discharge. Since your computer is open, you should take this opportunity to clean out the dust that has built up inside the case. Too much dust can lead to overheating, which can lead to your components failing. Use compressed air to remove as much dust and debris as possible. Make sure to get in all of the nooks and crannies.

These critters may be microscopic, but they are very cool! Tardigrades, also called water bears, are some of the most amazing animals on Earth, and live just about everywhere you can imagine. They can survive:  Temperatures as low as -200 °C (-328 °F) and as high as 151 °C (304 °F) Freezing in a block of ice Lack of oxygen for days, possibly months Lack of water for decades Levels of X-ray radiation 1,000 times the lethal human dose Many noxious chemicals Boiling alcohol Low pressure of a vacuum, like that of space Extreme pressure, up to six times greater than found at the deepest part of the ocean Note that they can only survive these conditions in cryptobiosis. If you exposed a living tardigrade to these conditions, it would die instantly. Many tardigrades are aquatic, but the easiest place for humans to find them is in damp moss, lichen, or leaf litter. Search in forests, around ponds, or even in your backyard. Your best bet is to look in damp places, where tardigrades are active. You can get a sample of dry habitat if nothing else is available, since it may contain tardigrades in an extreme hibernation state (cryptobiosis), waiting for water to rejuvenate them. Put the sample in a paper bag or envelope so it can dry out a little. (A plastic bag will trap the water and encourage mold to grow, which will block your view of the animals.)  You can take samples of several different kinds of moss, lichen, or leaf litter to see whether tardigrades like one more than another. Soft lichen is more likely to have tardigrades than hard, crusty lichen. You can even find water bears in the powdery lichen that grows on rocks and brick walls.

Memorize how to say "Where is the Bathroom? Try these translations depending on your location in Africa:

There are many different types of traps that vary in terms of if and how they kill what they trap. Choose the trap that you like best, and make sure to place a highly desired piece of food properly in the trap to successfully attract the mouse or rat.  Try a snap trap. These traps are set off by the removal of the bait. When the rodent attempts to take the snack that is carefully placed in the trap, the mechanism snaps a wire down and kills it nearly instantly by snapping the rodent’s neck. To catch but not kill, choose a cage trap. When the mouse or rat steps on the pan located inside the trap, the treadle is tripped and the door closes. This traps the rodent without killing it. Avoid a sticky trap. This kind of trap has a special glue on it that sticks permanently to the rodent’s feet. This is one of the least humane options because the trapped mouse or rat starves to death slowly. There are many different types of rodenticide, so pick the right one by assessing the environmental conditions and the severity of the infestation. Poison is often delivered to mice and rats via bait station. These “stations” are pellets packaged in a paper or cellophane material. After gnawing through the packaging and ingesting the pellets, the rodent dies. Contact a professional rodent exterminator if you’ve tried a few different methods and you’re still having problems, or if you aren’t comfortable trapping or killing mice and rats. Ask around for recommendations, call the exterminator, and ask for a quote. Also, be sure to ask if the professional is licensed by the state, so that you know whether or not their business is legitimate. Cats and sometimes even dogs have a natural “killer instinct” and will hunt and kill rats and mice in their living space. Getting a new pet may take care of decreasing the rodent population in and around your home.

TL;DR in English: Set up a trap with bait. Poison the rodent. Hire an exterminator. Rely on a pet.

Some people like to use notebooks for diaries. Others prefer to use computers to write instead. Both methods are just fine, so choose the one you are most comfortable with.  If you want to use a computer to write, you can use a text document to write or you can use an online journaling website or diary app. If you want to use a physical diary, choose one that’s easy for you to write in. Make sure it's a good size for you and get one with lined paper inside. If you can't decide if you want to use a computer or write in a notebook, go with the one that makes you feel the  most creative. Keep your diary close to you if possible. If it’s always within reach, you’re more likely to use it. Start by writing details you want to remember and even random thoughts as they strike you in your diary.  If you’re using a notebook, make sure you choose one that easily fits into your backpack or purse. Keep your diary safe. Diaries are very private so if you carry it with you, keep an eye on it. If you leave it at home, be sure that it can't be easily found. One of the best things about diaries is reading them later, so be sure to date your entries. That way you know exactly when things happened. Make putting down the date the first thing you do when writing a diary entry so you won't forget. Put aside time for writing first thing in the morning or right before you go to bed and hold yourself to it. If you’re very busy, even 10 minutes every day will help to get you in the habit of writing in your diary.  Choose a time when you know you won’t be interrupted by friends or family members. Write to pass the time when you're riding in a car or on a bus.These trips are a good opportunity to jot down your thoughts and ideas. Don’t feel that you have to write long paragraphs and perfect sentences in your diary, or even sentences at all.  If it’s easier for you to get down short phrases or bulletpoints, go with that.

You will be boiling these together to prepare simple syrup. This extra step will give you a smoother limeade, and prevent those annoying grains of un-dissolved sugar from appearing at the bottom. For a less-sweet limeade, use ¾ cups (170 grams) of sugar. This is not essential to the recipe, but it will give your limeade a more complex flavor. You will need about 1 lime to do this. It might be a good idea to zest the limes before you cut and juice it. For a twist, swap out the lime zest for 2 tablespoons of minced, fresh ginger. While the mixture is coming to a boil, be sure to stir it well so that the sugar dissolves. If you omitted the lime zest or grated ginger, then you can simply pour the simple syrup into the pitcher. Make sure that the pitcher is large enough to hold the rest of your ingredients. Roll the limes across the counter while pressing down on them with your palm. Slice them in half, then juice them. You will need 1 cup (240 milliliters) of lime juice. Stir everything well with a long-handled spoon until the simple syrup, lime juice, and water are completely combined. You should not see any simple syrup gathered at the bottom of the pitcher. Everyone has different tastes, so you may need to adjust the limeade to suit yours. If the limeade is too sweet for you, add a little bit more lime juice. If it is too strong, then add some more water. If it is too sour, then add some more sugar. Be sure to stir the limeade well after each addition that you make. You can garnish it with some lime slices or fresh mint leaves for a fancier touch. It will taste even better with ice, but instead of adding ice straight into the pitcher, consider putting the ice into the glasses instead. If you add ice into the pitcher, the ice will dilute the limeade as it melts.

Salmonella infection is usually caused by eating raw or undercooked eggs or meat products that are contaminated with the bacteria. You may feel symptoms immediately or it may take up to 2 days, followed by symptoms that can usually be classified as gastroenteritis, an inflammation of the stomach or intestines. The most common symptoms of a salmonella infection are the following:   Persistent vomiting and diarrhea Nausea Chills Fever Headache Blood in the stool Very hot temperature Cold sweats Head cold Runny nose While salmonella usually doesn't pose a high health risk, individuals with compromised immune systems, such as people with AIDS, sickle cell disease or inflammatory bowel diseases, are at an increased risk of complications from salmonella poisoning. Children and the elderly are also more likely to experience serious complications. If the symptoms don't seem to be going away, and the person experiencing them is in a higher-risk group, it's advisable to see a doctor as soon as possible. Immediate medical attention should also be sought if you or the person you're concerned about experiences the following:    Dehydration, leading to decreased urine output, decreased tear production, dry mouth, and sunken eyes. If you are losing more fluids (through vomiting or diarrhea) than you’re taking in, see your doctor. Signs of a rare, advanced condition known as bacteremia, a condition in which salmonella enters the bloodstream and infects body tissues in the brain, spinal cord, heart, or bone marrow. A sudden high fever, chills, rapid heart rate, and an appearance of serious illness are signs that this may be occurring. Most salmonella can be caught early before this occurs. The doctor will assess your symptoms and, in most cases, advise getting plenty of fluids and resting until the symptoms pass, since they usually go away on their own. If the doctor determines a test is necessary, a stool sample will be tested to determine whether it contains salmonella.   The doctor may also decide to test a blood sample to...

How competent is the management running the company? More importantly, how focused are they toward the company, customers, investors, and employees? In this age of rampant corporate greed, it's always a great idea to research the management of any company you're thinking of investing in. Newspaper and magazine articles are good places to get this information. This doesn't just mean that management has provided good financial results recently. Rather, look for indications of other important qualities like responsiveness, adaptability, capacity for innovation, and organizational ability. A good leader can successfully turn around a company that many consider to be a lost cause. Watch the news and financial reports for changes in management positions, especially CEOs. If you believe in the new CEO of a company, based on your research, you may choose to invest in that company. Here, you're essentially putting your faith in the person, not the company. Even a great company can be overvalued. Learn to interpret financial statements and pick stocks with fundamental analysis to find companies the market has overvalued. Know that these companies may be some of the most buzzed-about and invested in companies around, but they are still overvalued and may experience drastic declines in price once their day in the spotlight is over.   One way to determine if a stock is overpriced is to examine its price-earnings-ratio. The price to earnings ratio can usually be found in the company's stock summary on financial websites. Generally, PE ratios are between 20-25, but this varies by industry.  To evaluate a company's PE ratio, search online for the average PE ratio in the company's industry. If the P/E ratio is over the industry average, the company could be overpriced in view of its earnings. Undervalued stocks are those that are trading at a lower value than their financial information would indicate. These may be companies that have only started to do well recently. In these cases, the market has not yet caught up with...

Potting mix, which is often a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite, will generally yield better results for potted plants because of its superior drainage. If your container doesn't have drainage holes, you can drill 3-4 of them into the bottom of the container. You can also find soil specifically for cuttings at most home improvement stores. This is to make sure the cuttings have water available immediately once they are in their container. Water until the soil is moist, but not soaked. Creating a hole before you insert your cutting ensures your cutting won't be bent or snapped when it's inserted into the soil. You can also use a knitting needle or your own finger if you don't have a pencil or a chopstick. Ensure that the leaves are not buried, and that the plant is stable enough to stand upright. It's best to plant just below a leaf break, where two leaves shoot off in opposite directions. You can plant several cuttings in a single container, but be careful not to overcrowd the pot. For a medium-sized container about 8 inches (20 cm) across, 5-6 cuttings will fill the pot with enough room to grow. Place the pot with your cuttings into a large, clear plastic bag, secure the bag with a rubber band. Place the pot away from the window in an area that gets plenty of sunlight, so that moisture becomes trapped in the bag for the plants to use for photosynthesis. Be sure to cut small holes or leave part of the bag outside of the rubber band to allow air to flow. Make sure the soil in the container is moist, but not soaked, at all times. Don't let the soil dry out. Regularly check the bottom of the container for any roots. If any of them begin to look unhealthy, remove them from the container. Check the drainage holes at the bottom of the container for visible roots once per week. Once the cuttings are growing rapidly or roots appear at the bottom of the container, you can dig up and transplant each cutting to separate containers. When transplanting, be gentle when lifting the plant from the container,...

TL;DR in English: Fill a drainable container with potting soil. Water the soil in the container before you plant the cuttings. Use a pencil or a chopstick to make holes in the soil. Insert cuttings into their individual holes. Cover the container with a plastic bag to seal in moisture. Water and monitor your cuttings. Transplant cuttings to individual containers when roots become visible.

A mixed fraction is when you have a whole number and a fraction, like in the above example (1 5/12). Meanwhile, an improper fraction is one where the numerator (the top number) is bigger than the denominator (the bottom number). That's also seen in the above step, with 17/12. For the example for this section, let's work with 13/12 and 17/8. Remember the three ways you can find the LCD? By either writing out the multiples, using prime factorization, or by multiplying the denominators. Let's figure out the multiples of our example, 12 and 8. What's the smallest number these two go into? 24. 8, 16, 24 and 12, 24 – bingo! Both denominators now need to be turned into 24. How do you get 12 to 24? Multiply it by 2. 8 to 24? Multiply it by three. But don't forget – you need to multiply the numerators, too! So 13 x 2/12 x 2 = 26/24. And 17 x 3/8 x 3 = 51/24. We're well on our way to solving the problem! Now that you have the same denominator, you can add these two numbers together with ease. Remember, leave the denominator alone! 26/24 + 51/24 = 77/24. There's your one fraction! That top number is mighty big, though.... Having such a large number on top is a little weird – you can't quite tell the size of your fraction. All you have to do is put the denominator into the numerator until in can't be repeated again and then see what you have leftover. For this example, 24 goes into 77 three times. That is, 24 x 3 = 72. But there's 5 leftover! So what's your final answer? 3 5/24. That's it!

Because Morgellon's is not well understood, you may benefit from the opinions of doctors from different fields. It is important that all of the doctors are thorough in their examinations and that they listen to you and take your symptoms seriously. You may want to consider talking to:  Your general practitioner A dermatologist A psychologist or psychiatrist A specialist in Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. You can find doctors who are knowledgeable about Lyme disease by contacting the Lyme Disease Association, International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society, the Tick Borne Disease Alliance, or local Lyme support groups. Specialists in any other body systems that are affected. For example, if you suffer from vision or hearing problems, add an eye doctor or hearing specialist to your team. A healthy diet will help your body repair and heal any wounds you may have. It will also boost your immune system to help you fight any infections that may be present. The Morgellon's Foundation in the UK recommends:  Supplying your body with sufficient energy by choosing complex over simple carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates take longer to digest and provide energy for longer. They include whole-grain breads, brown rice, oats, buckwheat, couscous and whole-wheat pastas. Limit your intake of processed sugars including cookies, cakes, and candies. Get a rich array of vitamins and minerals by eating lots of diverse fruits and vegetables. The vitamins and minerals support important physiological processes in your body, including those necessary for healing. Excellent sources include dark green leafy vegetables like spinach and salads topped with different fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, apples, orange slices, or berries. Get protein from healthy sources. Eat lean meats like poultry and fish. If you eat red meat, trim the fat off. Vegetarians can get protein from chickpeas and beans. Cook with herbs that may have antibacterial or antifungal properties. Options to try include: black...

Do more than just jog. Run "fartleks. Do intervals on the track. Run hills.

Place the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients until the mixture is fully combined and becomes light and fluffy. This should take about 3 or 4 minutes. Using softened butter should help the process along. If your butter is cold, you can  soften it by microwaving it for about 15 seconds. Keep the mixer running and beat the batter until the eggs and vanilla are thoroughly incorporated. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda and oatmeal until the ingredients are completed mixed. Pour 1/3 of the dry mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix on low (or stir by hand) until blended. Do the same with the next 1/3 of the bowl, and finish by mixing in the last 1/3. Don't mix the batter on high - do it slowly! This way you can make sure the cookies will come out light and delicious, rather than tough. Last but not least, stir in the 1 1/2 cups of raisins - again, make sure not to overmix. Use a cookie scoop, a small measuring cup or a tablespoon to scoop out the cookies onto a nonstick cookie sheet. Space them so that there are 2 inches (5.1 cm) in between each cookie, since they'll spread as they bake. You'll end up with about 2 dozen cookies, so you may need to bake them using two separate sheets or one batch at a time.  If you don't have a nonstick cookie sheet, grease the cookie sheet before scooping. You can also line your cookie sheet with parchment paper. Make the cookies bigger if you'd like! Use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to scoop out giant oatmeal cookies that will be soft in the middle and crispy around the edges. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 10 - 12 minutes, until they're brown around the edges. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool.

Once you are running comfortably for prolonged periods, continue using at least one hard run per week to increase your mileage and endurance. At the same time, start designating at least one other hard day to challenge your body in new ways each week. Encourage runner's high by taxing your body with less familiar forms of stress.  Runner’s high usually occurs when the body experiences prolonged stress. The more endurance you build, the less likely this will happen from basic distance runs, because your body's used to it Seguing from base training to a variety of high-intensity workouts will keep your body from falling into a steady low-challenge routine. Focus on endurance training for at least one month before incorporating high-intensity workouts into your schedule. " These involve alternating between jogging and running at a much faster pace within one run. Start small by alternating between sprinting and jogging every two minutes. From there, try different combinations. Remember: the key to runner's high is placing new stresses on your body, so running different fartleks each time is a great way to increase your chances. For example:  On your next fartlek, you can increase both the jogging and sprinting intervals by equal amounts throughout one run. Jog for two minutes, sprint for two minutes, then jog for three and sprint three, followed by four jogging, then four sprinting, and so on. The next time, you can increase the sprinting interval and keep the jogging the same. Jog for two minutes, sprint for two. Jog for another two, then sprint for three. Jog for two, sprint for four, and etc. Then you can push your body further by running a faster pace for your "jogging" interval on your next fartlek. Similar to fartleks, challenge yourself by running a consistent faster-than-normal pace for a set distance, followed by walking or jogging for another set distance, and then repeating. As always, to achieve runner's high, avoid routine and doing the exact same thing each week. Keep challenging your body with the...

Tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking. Allow the doctor to prepare you. Wait while the doctor prepares the electrodes. Watch the doctor place the chest electrodes. Observe as the doctor places electrodes on your limbs. Wait while the EKG runs. Allow the doctor to remove the electrodes.

Traveling in groups is more social, cuts down on gas, and is better for your carbon footprint (which is the sum of all greenhouse gases created and released by your activities). Using public transit, like buses and trains cuts down on the gas it takes to get somewhere and is cheaper and better for the environment than cars. It takes a lot of fuel to fly or drive long distances, and that fuel creates greenhouses gases. Donate some money to a company that offsets those emissions. When you donate to a group that tries to offset carbon emissions, they use that money to fund projects that prevent that same emission elsewhere. That could be as simple as planting a new tree, or funding projects to reduce someone else’s carbon footprint.

TL;DR in English: Carpool to holiday events. Take the bus or train whenever you can. Donate to offset your carbon footprint if you travel.

This is important because some medicines change the rate at which your heart beats and could affect the results. This includes over-the-counter medications and herbal supplements. Do not drink cold water right before the test. You need to stay warm so that you do not shiver. You may be asked to take off your shirt or put on a hospital gown. This will make it easier for the doctor to put the electrodes directly onto your skin.  If your skin is dirty, the doctor may clean and wipe the areas where the electrodes will go. If you have hair on your chest, arms, or legs where the doctor wants to put the leads (electrodes), you may be shaved first. This will help the leads stick correctly. The 12 lead EKG uses 10 electrodes. They will be put directly onto your skin. They may feel slightly cold, but they will not hurt. The electrodes measure your body’s electricity. They do not put electricity into your body. The doctor may use gel, spray, or tape to fix them in place and create a good connection. There will be six chest electrodes which must be placed as follows:  Electrode 1 will go to the right of the sternum in the fourth intercostal space. The intercostal space is the space between the ribs. Electrode 2 will go to the left of the sternum in the fourth intercostal space. Electrode 3 will be in between electrodes 2 and 4. Electrode 4 will go on midclavicular line in the fifth intercostal space. The midclavicular line is a vertical line that goes through the middle of the collarbone. Electrode 5 is horizontally level with electrode 4 in the anterior axillary line. The anterior axillary line runs down your body from the collarbone, 3/4ths of the distance from the middle of your collarbone to the end. Electrode 6 is horizontally level with electrode 4 in the mid-axillary line. The midaxillary line runs down your side from your armpit to your waist. The other four electrodes will go on your arms and legs and do not have to be placed as precisely. The doctor will likely avoid areas with a lot of hair, protruding bones,...

Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon sheet.  Keep in a single layer; don't overlap. Dip a pastry brush into the bowl and brush both sides of each baguette slice. You'll need to keep re-dipping in the olive oil. This step is optional but if liked, you can sprinkle the top of each piece with salt and pepper or perhaps with a spice such as paprika or sumac. Bake for 5-6 minutes, then remove and turn over the slices. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-6 minutes or until golden. Place on a cooling rack to cool completely. If storing, keep in an airtight container. These will keep for weeks if the container remains airtight.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF. Slice the baguette into slices about 5-7mm in thickness. Arrange the slices on a baking tray. Pour the olive oil into a small bowl. Season to taste. Place the baking sheet into the oven. Remove from the oven. Serve when cool.

Remember that the quality of work you put into an hour is more important than the number of hours you put into the work. The quality AND quantity of your work matter. Sometimes working for a long time on something gives you the illusion that you are getting a lot done when really you haven’t had a productive hour. Be open and honest with yourself about the quality of your work. If you need help, ask for it. Other people might be able to give you better tips on how to do something efficiently and effectively. Working smarter means taking small breaks while you work and also making a point to schedule relaxing activities into your day. This improves your creativity and productivity and lowers your stress levels.  One popular study recommends working for 52 minutes and taking a 17-minute break to improve your productivity.  Make it a point to do things that you find relaxing, such as yoga, meditation, painting or reading. Experiment with different activities to see which best suits you. What is relaxing to you may not be relaxing to someone else. It’s always smart to save money for the future now. Set aside an amount that you will save every month. Make a list of special circumstances or emergencies under which you will use this money. If you are still studying, consider getting a part-time job. This will teach you the value of money and time, and instill responsibility and discipline in you. Be kind to people now. Build a network of people you can rely on for advice and support in the future. This includes your friends, people you work with who are higher in the command chain than you are, your peers and your mentors and teachers. Look to those with more experience than you for advice on how to work towards the future you dream of. Even if your idea is something that they don’t have personal experience of, they can still give you solid advice that applies to you.

If you're using a graphical user interface (GUI), you can usually do this by clicking the terminal icon or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. After typing that command at the prompt, press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return to run it. After verifying your root password, the package manager will update to include the latest software sources. If you already know the exact name of the package you want to install, skip to the next step. Otherwise, run apt-cache search softwareName (with softwareName being the name of your software) at the prompt.  This can sometimes print out a lot of options, of which many are irrelevant. Be patient and read the description of every package to determine which one you want to install. If you're unsure, you can also use apt show packageName, with packageName being the name of any listed package, to get a longer description of what the package is. If you're unsure what your software is called, you might try searching for a word that describes what the package does. For example, typing apt-cache search paint will print the package names of many painting programs, including GIMP and Krita. Replace packageName with the actual package name. For example, if you want to install the package dillo (that's a web browser), you would type sudo apt-get install dillo.  If additional dependencies are required for the package to install, follow the on-screen instructions to choose whether to install them now. To remove an installed package, use sudo apt-get remove packageName.

Have a plan in place to get your brand name in as many stores and in front of as many people as possible. Depending on the product or service you’re offering, you might want to consider taking out ads online, in newspapers, in magazines, and wherever you might find new customers.  Apply your branding, including your visual brand and brand messages, to all of your materials—from packaging, signage, and stationery, to your website and marketing materials. Don’t be shy about boldly branding your products and displaying them in as many venues as possible. You want your brand to be everywhere people look. Advertise your brand in unexpected places. Radio advertisements, employee uniforms, and freebies with logos (such as tissues or pens) are all relatively inexpensive ways to promote your brand. See if you can get publicity from a local newspaper, TV station or blog who will review your product or service. Social media is one of the best ways to build a brand these days. Get basic social media accounts and update them regularly with pictures, deals, and other information about your company. Find things that are related and appeal to your customers and give them the chance to interact.  For example, if you're a travel company, post a picture of a beautiful location with a message something like: "Counting down the weeks to summer vacation and some time to unwind! Where do you want to travel this year?" Do not become spam. Avoid constantly pushing your brand in an annoying way or without context or to people that have no interest. Stay out of your customer's recycle bins. Be real and conversational, not a metaphorical sleazy car salesman. This is the age of the Internet and social media, so having a website is central to building a brand. It's fine to base your business in the flesh and traditional media, but if you don't at least have a website, you'll be seen as old-fashioned and inaccessible. Hire a professional or use a template and get a nice looking website. This should, at a minimum, discuss what your brand is...

TL;DR in English: Develop a marketing strategy.  Have a presence on social media. Have a killer website. Be involved in the community.

Solving the cube root of a number is going to look like solving a long division problem, with a few special differences. The first step is to set up the problem in the proper format.  Write down the number whose cube root you want to find. Write the digits in groups of three, using the decimal point as your starting place. For this example, you will find the cube root of 10. Write this as 10. 000 000. The extra 0s are to allow precision in the solution. Draw a cube root radical sign over the number. This serves the same purpose as the long division bar line. The only difference is the shape of the symbol. Place a decimal point above the bar line, directly above the decimal point in the original number. You will use these in the computations. These cubes are as follows:  13=1∗1∗1=1{\displaystyle 1^{3}=1*1*1=1} 23=2∗2∗2=8{\displaystyle 2^{3}=2*2*2=8} 33=3∗3∗3=27{\displaystyle 3^{3}=3*3*3=27} 43=4∗4∗4=64{\displaystyle 4^{3}=4*4*4=64} 53=5∗5∗5=125{\displaystyle 5^{3}=5*5*5=125} 63=6∗6∗6=216{\displaystyle 6^{3}=6*6*6=216} 73=7∗7∗7=343{\displaystyle 7^{3}=7*7*7=343} 83=8∗8∗8=512{\displaystyle 8^{3}=8*8*8=512} 93=9∗9∗9=729{\displaystyle 9^{3}=9*9*9=729} 103=10∗10∗10=1000{\displaystyle 10^{3}=10*10*10=1000} Select a number that, when cubed, gives the largest possible result less than the first set of three numbers.  In this example, the first set of three numbers is 10. Find the largest perfect cube that is less than 10. That number is 8, and its cube root is 2. Write the number 2 above the radical bar line, over the number 10. Write the value of 23{\displaystyle 2^{3}}, which is 8, underneath the number 10, draw a line and subtract, just as you would in long division. The result is a 2. After the subtraction, you have the first digit of your solution. You need to decide if this one digit is a precise enough result. In most cases, it will not be. You can check by cubing the single digit and decide if that is close enough to the result you wanted. Here, because 23{\displaystyle 2^{3}} is only 8, not very close to 10,...

Getting in touch with old friends, distant relatives, and people you went to school with can be a good stepping stone because you're reaching out, but you're not approaching complete strangers. Work on networking first on this group of people before moving on to people with whom you have a more tenuous connection. As a professional, or an aspiring professional, your time is important. Be discerning and selective — you owe it to yourself. Simply approach someone confidently, stick out your hand, and introduce yourself. It's not easy to do, but it's straightforward, and the more you do it, the easier it becomes.  Be confident to inspire confidence in you. Many people who regularly schmooze aren't the most naturally confident people in the world. They've learned to project confidence. This projection soon becomes reality. The "fake it till you make it" strategy really does work. Some people call this the "hostess mentality." You put others first and try to make them feel comfortable. This uncommon effort makes you feel powerful and, ultimately, puts you at ease. . An elevator pitch is a personal blurb that sums up the "professional you" and can be delivered quickly — for example, in the time it would take two people to share an elevator ride. Not exactly a speech that you memorize, an elevator pitch is a couple of refrains that you remember that you can build around, given the situation.

Currently, I'm leading a conservation effort designed to save the puffin population in Eastern Egg Rock, Maine." . Having a great conversation often starts with a little bit of back-and-forth. It's an opportunity for you to get a feel for the other person, and for them to get a feel for you.
