Modern water softeners can go without cleaning for 5–10 years. Clean them only if your water has turned hard and the basic maintenance above doesn't fix the problem within a couple days. Older models (especially electric ones) can benefit from an annual cleaning. Use the bypass valve to shut off water intake. Siphon or dump all water out of the tank, then dump out the salt and throw it away.  Keep the waste away from your garden, as salt kills plants. Dissolve blocks or bridges of salt with hot water if needed. Some models have a mesh platform at the base of the brine tank. Set this aside before cleaning. Mix a generous amount of dish soap into one or two gallons (4–8 liters) of water. Pour it into the tank and scrub the entire interior with a long-handled brush. Dump out the soapy water and rinse with plain water. Pour ¼ cup (60 mL) of household bleach and 2–3 gallons (8–11 liters) of water into the tank. Stir and let sit for fifteen minutes to sanitize the tank. Most organisms cannot grow in concentrated brine, but it's a good idea to make sure. Rinse out the bleach thoroughly. If there was a grid in the tank, put it back. Replenish the tank with water and salt as normal. Wait at least a couple hours before regenerating the tank, to give the salt time to dissolve.

TL;DR in English: Schedule the cleaning. Empty the tank. Remove the brine grid from the base of the tank. Scrub with soapy water. Rinse the tank. Clean the tank with bleach. Rinse and refill.

If she's cramming for a test before the bell rings or having an intense conversation with a friend, it's probably best to wait. Find a time when she's alone and doesn't look like she's in a rush to get anywhere, such as in the cafeteria or after school lets out.  If she's constantly surrounded by friends, don't be afraid to say, “Can I talk to you for a second?” See if you have any common interests. Is she apart of the debate team? You could try it out too as a built-in way to meet her. If there are breaks or club outings, you could try to strike up a conversation during those times. Don't spout off a cheesy pick-up line the second you're face-to-face, but have a general idea about what you're going to say. This can be as general as a question about her day, or you can cut right to the chase and tell her you're interested. Either way, it's great to have an idea going into the conversation so that you aren't faced with awkward silence.  You could say something like, "Hi [name]! Happy it's almost Friday?" If you see her holding a specific textbook or going into a classroom, you could ask her about that. "Hey [name], you have history with Mr. Smith? I heard he's great, do you like him?" A general rule of thumb is to talk to her as if you already know her. This doesn't mean you should act like you're best friends, but don't act like you're talking to your teacher or principal. Say something like, "Hey [her name], how's your week going so far?" rather than, "Hello [name], how are you today?" . Even if you've planned out a perfect opener and have a great idea about what you want to talk to her about, you need to also convey confidence with your body language. Keep your head up, and make eye contact with her. Make sure you're standing up straight, and take a wide stance so that you look secure in your space. Take care not to wring your hands or nervously fiddle with your clothes or backpack.  If you feel nervous, that's perfectly normal. The trick is simply not letting it show. It sounds silly, but practice your...

Learn some basic jewelry making skills and techniques. Assemble your required materials. Practice the technique before you make the real thing.

The formula for the surface area of any prism is SA=2B+Ph{\displaystyle SA=2B+Ph}, where SA{\displaystyle SA} equals the surface area, B{\displaystyle B} equals the area of the base, P{\displaystyle P} equals the perimeter of the base, and h{\displaystyle h} equals the height of the prism. In order for this method to work you must know the surface area of the prism, as well as the area of the triangular base, and the length of all three sides of the base. If you do not know the surface area, this method will not work. For example, if you know the surface area is 1460 square centimeters, your formula will look like this:1460=2B+Ph{\displaystyle 1460=2B+Ph} To find the area, you need to know the length of the triangle’s base and the height of the triangle. Use the formula A=12(b)(h){\displaystyle A={\frac {1}{2}}(b)(h)}. To find the area of a triangle.  Alternatively, if you know the length of all three sides of a triangle, you can find the area using Heron’s formula.  Read Calculate the Area of a Triangle for complete instructions. For example, if the base of the triangle is 8 centimeters, and the height of the triangle is 4 centimeters, to find the area you would calculate:A=12(8)(4){\displaystyle A={\frac {1}{2}}(8)(4)}A=12(32){\displaystyle A={\frac {1}{2}}(32)}A=16{\displaystyle A=16} Make sure you are substituting for the letter B{\displaystyle B}. For example, if you found the area of the base to be 16, your formula will look like this:1460=2(16)+Ph{\displaystyle 1460=2(16)+Ph}1460=32+Ph{\displaystyle 1460=32+Ph} To find the perimeter of a triangle, add up the length of all three sides. For example, if the base is a triangle has three sides with lengths of 8, 4, and 9 centimeters, to find the perimeter you would calculate:P=8+4+9{\displaystyle P=8+4+9}P=21{\displaystyle P=21} Make sure you are substituting for the letter P{\displaystyle P}. For example, if you found the perimeter of the base to be 21, your formula will look like this:1460=32+21h{\displaystyle 1460=32+21h} This will give you the height of...

For an easy transition into jewelry making, visit your local craft store and buy a jewelry making kit. Jewelry making kits provide you with basic supplies and tools that allow you to customize different jewelry pieces and make them all your own. Most kits come with some basic instructions with different jewelry ideas, but you can use your imagination to create whatever kind of jewelry you want.  There are many variations of jewelry making kits depending on what specific kind of jewelry you want to make. For example, there are beading jewelry kits, stringing jewelry kits, and wire jewelry kits, just to name a few. Because there is such a variety in possible pieces of jewelry (necklaces, bracelets, earrings), made out of many possible materials (beads, wire, string, resin, paper, etc.), pick out a material and piece of jewelry you want to work on making. Find inspiration by visiting jewelry stores or looking online at social platforms, visual organizational websites, or jewelry retailer websites. Depending on what kind of jewelry you plan to make, you’ll probably need some basic tools to complete your project. Some basic tools all beginners should consider having include:  A variety of pliers – round nose pliers, chain nose pliers, step jaw pliers, bent closing pliers, and nylon jaw pliers A metal ruler that measures both centimeters and inches Wire cutters Practice wire, to practice bending and shaping you wire before you attempt to bend your more expensive wire for your actual project Peg boards for bending wire Handmade jewelry can be crafted with many different kinds of supplies, but there are a few basic supplies that are used on most handmade jewelry pieces. Jewelry kits can provide you with general or project specific supplies, but if you plan to start making jewelry without using a kit, you need to purchase some supplies on your own. Consider buying some:  Beads Jewelry wire in common gauge sizes (18, 20, and 22); 20 gauge is best for beginners Clasps and closures Jump rings In order to determine how...

Most places offer community classes, where you can sign up to take some art lessons. Just know that you will have to invest a bit of money, but it certainly will help. Look for art lessons online, and art videos or DVDs. Many professional artists create instructional DVDs in various mediums, or on drawing in general. Websites with forums like http://www.wetcanvas.com will often have free art lessons, with volunteer teachers who give assignments, critique your work, and help in encouraging ways. Sites like http://how-to-draw-and-paint.com may have a lot of free instruction available, and downloadable e-books, as well as further instruction for sale. "Try before you buy" with online art lessons, some are as good or better than in-person art instruction. You should like the teacher's art, and also enjoy the teacher's style of presentation, to get the most out of an online class. The Artist's Magazine, Pastel Journal, Watercolor Artist, American Artist and others all have excellent articles on how to draw and paint. The more you read, the more you'll understand the many technical terms and different techniques there are to drawing and painting. Learning art is cumulative. It may seem easy, because people who do something well for a long time do it easily, but it's a complex field of study that takes time and effort to master. Patience, practice and study are what really constitutes "talent" - talent is loving the process so much, that you're willing to put up with your mistakes in order to learn how to do it so well, others call you talented. This usually comes at the point they can recognize what you drew for what it is. Look for books on design and composition, take classes in design, study it as much as you do how to draw things accurately. It makes the difference between whether you create great art or just copies of photos. Learn how to crop reference photos, choose which subjects to shoot or sketch in a landscape, guide a viewer's attention in the painting to the most important thing in it - a portrait's...

For general, everyday use, you want to look for a primer that matches your complexion or is just a tiny bit lighter. This will look the most natural if you forego eyeshadow and just do a liner and it won't alter the shade of your eyeshadow by adding pigmentation.  If you're doing a smokey eye or a dark eyeshadow, look for a darker primer to add depth to your look. If you are using multiple colors and really want them to pop, try a white primer. You can also use a clear primer for the most versatile option. Since primer is a base to even out your skin tone, it should really be matte or transparent, rather than shimmery.  Consider color correcting primer if you have dark circles or want to brighten your eyes. Primers with a yellow or peach cast will neutralize the purples, browns, and "bruise" shades of under eye circles. A primer with a little bit of green can neutralize pink or reddish skin. Matte primers are great for everyday use, because they tend to last longer and give you a more neutral base for your eye makeup. Even if your skin is not oily, eyelids tend to get a little greasy throughout the day, and the matte finish will help absorb the grease and keep your makeup in place.  A satin or shimmery finish works when you are wearing no shadow over your primer or plan to use a sparkly eyeshadow. Keep in mind these don't have quite the staying power as a matte primer, and that you shouldn't use a matte eyeshadow over a shimmery primer or it will look off.  If you have very dry skin, try a gel-based primer or one that illuminates skin.  Matte primers work with both matte and shimmery eyeshadows--they allow you to add all the shine using the makeup, not the primer.  Matte primers are especially effective in hot and humid weather, because it will keep the grease and shine under control. Primers come in gel, cream, liquid, or stick form. The texture of your primer will influence how it feels on your lids and how long it will last. Gel primers usually last the longest and can be worn with all types of eyeshadow....

Seek advice from supportive friends or family. Talk to supportive professionals about your physical transition. Consider seeing a counselor. Connect with the LGBT community.

Take time to decide what type of woman you want to look like. This greatly influences the other steps. How old are you? What is your body type? What kind of style do you want? Envision the woman you will become. You can be classy, provocative, trendy, or even angelic. What you want to look like will change over time, and outfit choices vary from day to day.  Remember to always dress for the occasion and take your daily life into account. If you will be passing as a woman on a regular basis and work in a professional environment, provocative or flashy clothing will not be appropriate. If you’re going out clubbing, wearing more revealing clothes is fine. If you’re passing as a woman for a party or special event, go all out. Be over the top in your clothing choices. Use your close female friends looks for fashion inspiration. Notice what aspects of their outfits you like. Showering is the first step to looking like a woman. So much is done in the shower, including shaving, washing your hair, and getting generally clean. Females are known for having smooth skin, clean and shiny hair, and a clean body, so take your time. You may also need to spend some money on this step.  Buy quality razors to shave with. Cheap razors can irritate skin, and your body hair will grow back quickly. Invest in shampoo and conditioner that smell nicely. Feminine products are scented differently from male products. Get a loofah and body wash. This will help exfoliate your skin and leave it clean and smooth. After you’ve washed your body and shampooed your hair, a close shave is a must for passing as a woman. Use a new razor and take your time. Also, be gentle; you don't want to irritate your skin. Using plenty of shaving cream and razors with three or more blades will keep razor burn to a minimum. If you really want to keep stubble away, you can try waxing, electrolysis, or even permanent laser hair removal, but consult with a professional first.  Shave your entire body, too. If you haven't done this ever or in a while, be prepared to...

Continue to reach out to those who trust and have been by your side in the past. Ask them about challenges they have faced in their own lives, and how they overcame them. Show them that you care about what they have to say.   Finding advice and support in person can be reassuring and helpful as you continue to come out and let others know about your gender identity. Understand that even if your friends or family have not personally experienced what it is like to come out as transgender, they may have personal struggles with their own identities.  For example, ask them, "Have you ever faced feeling like you didn't belong or fit in?" Feeling different or misunderstood is something that everyone goes through from time to time in their lives.  Use this as a way to connect with others who feel this way, rather than distance yourself. Many trans people benefit from hormones and/or surgery to help their body match their gender a little more clearly. You may be struggling with what you plan to do both physically and emotionally. Seek advice from experts who have helped others find their path. Talk with your doctor about making physical changes to your body.  This may involve hormone replacement therapy or surgery.  Talk with your doctor about a possible referral to a specialist in these types of medical procedures. Ask, "I am considering transitioning as a man (or woman) and want know about the medical treatments available in this area.  Can you help me or make a referral?" Coming out as transgender can be tough, and the ensuing transition process isn't always easy. A counselor can help you cope with the challenges, and offer advice on handling difficult times. They can also treat anxiety, depression, and other illnesses that trans people can be at risk for.  Some LGBT+ groups have counseling centers, and may offer individual or group therapy. Whether it's online or in-person, there is an LGBT community out there that can help you navigate your coming out process and what feels right for you. You don't have to feel...

Doctor Who was very different from 1963 to 1989 than it is today. New series fans have scrutinized it for its bad visuals and special effects, weird planets, and low production values. Take all this into account when you're deciding. Also remember that classic Who also ran in a serialized format, with stories ranging anywhere from 1 to 12 episodes to complete one story arc. There were eight classic Doctors so you have some options. Here is a list of good starting points and the year in which they were broadcast:  An Unearthly Child (1963) The War Games (1969) Spearhead from Space (1970) Terror of the Autons (1971) The Three Doctors (1972-73) The Time Warrior (1973-74) The Ribos Operation (1978) The Keeper of Traken (1981) Kinda (1982) The Five Doctors (1983) There is no reason to watch the series chronologically, if you don’t find it interesting. Track recurring characters and monsters that you’re interested in. If you like the Master or Cybermen, track down all the episodes they appear on by using the internet. There are several fan websites that track characters and monsters and present a full list of episodes they appear in. In the late 1960s and the 1970s the BBC wanted to reuse videotape so they wouldn't have to keep buying more, and as a result, multiple episodes from the first three Doctors' eras were "lost to time." Thankfully though, all of the Third Doctor's era has been recovered and missing episodes are starting to turn up in unexpected places. So there is hope yet. Let the cliffhanger hang and leave it there. Either watch the next episode the night after or the next week, or you can watch an episode from a different story and then come back.

TL;DR in English: Decide if you want to do this. Pick a good starting point. Follow trends you enjoy. Consider the 90+ missing episodes. Don't watch all of the episodes of a story in one sitting.

Ask anyone in a group if they’d like to perform a fun trick with their hand.  Let any potential volunteers know that the trick isn’t dangerous and won’t hurt. It’s just fun and surprising. Make sure you and your volunteer have access to a table or other nearby flat surface before performing the trick. Ask your volunteer to put either of their hands onto a flat surface, but with the middle finger folded underneath. The back of the middle finger and the fingertips of all other fingers should be resting against the table or flat surface. Your volunteer’s hand should remain in this position. Instruct your volunteer to lift each fingertip off of the table, with the ring finger last. Have them lift first their thumb, then pointer finger, then pinky finger from the surface of the table. They should be able to move each of these with ease. Ask your volunteer to lift their ring finger from the table last, which they are very likely not to be able to do.  Enjoy the surprise and amusement of your volunteer and other guests. Have others try the same trick themselves if they don’t believe it. Try on both right and left hands as well. You can tell your audience that the trick works because the middle and ring finger are controlled by the same tendon in the hand, so one cannot easily be lifted when the other is folded. The other fingers are controlled by separate tendons so they can be moved independently.  Make sure that anyone trying the trick keeps their middle finger folded under and that this finger and all other fingertips remain flat on the table.

Graphic jersey tunic dresses and short, print A-lines are new Emo staples that are a must for the warmer months. Opt for dark colors with statement-making designs, like a music promo or a checkerboard or skull print. If you love your flannel or plaid, try cutting off the sleeves and/or knotting the front across your belly to make it the length that you want. You can do the same with your favorite T’s or vintage shirts. You can, of course, always buy new tanks and belly shirts, too. Go for ones with graphics, prints, or quotes that have something to say about who you are. If you’d like a two-piece, try a halter top with a full-coverage bottom with low-cut legs. One-pieces with ruching and low-cut legs are also tres chic.  Black, red, or pink are generally your best bets, color-wise. If you’d like a pattern, go for horizontal stripes or polka dots. You could also opt for a statement-making graphic. One-piece cut-out suits with slashes across the front or holes on each side are also new Emo trends. For a masculine swimsuit, consider shorts that combine black with bright graphics. Beanies or black bowlers are probably not the best option for summer since they’re hot and don’t provide much sun protection. Opt for a straw boater hat to keep the simple, retro feel with a cooler fit and a wider brim. Alternatively, try a floppy sun hat in black or bold pink. Thick-rimmed wayfarers are classic Emo. However, any oversized shades will do the trick. Try black rims with a bold pop of color on the arms.

TL;DR in English: Add dresses to your wardrobe. Adapt your shirts into tanks and belly shirts. Get retro-cut swimwear. Switch up your hat. Protect your eyes with oversized sunglasses.

Fill a saucepan with 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) of water, then place a heat-safe glass bowl on top. Add ½ cup (108 grams) of coconut oil, 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of jojoba oil, and 1½ tablespoons (21.32 grams) beeswax pellets. Hold off on the aloe vera and essential oil for now. Turn the heat up to medium and allow the water to come to a simmer. Let the oils and beeswax melt, stirring occasionally. You are ready once they turn liquid and translucent. Make sure that your blender can withstand heat (ie: glass). If your blender is plastic, let the mixture cool down first, then scrape it into the blender with a spatula. If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor instead. Turn the blender onto a low speed setting. While it is turning, slowly pour 1 cup (236.5 grams) of aloe vera gel into it. From time to time, pause the blender, and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula. Use a natural aloe vera gel. Don't use aloe vera juice or homemade gel. You don't have to do this, but it will give the cream a nice fragrance. If you use the right type of essential oil, you could also benefit your skin. For example:  Acne or oily skin: lavender, lemongrass, palmarosa, peppermint, rosemary Dry or aging skin: lavender, palmarosa, rose, rose geranium Normal skin: rose, rose geranium Any skin type: chamomile, palmarosa Blend the mixture or whip it by hand until it is light and fluffy. Use a rubber spatula to transfer it into several small glass jars. ¼ or ½-ounce (60 or 120-milliliter) jars would work the bet. You can keep one of the jars in your bathroom, but you should store the rest in the fridge so that they last longer. Use the cream morning and evening within 3 to 4 months.

Know the different types of rosacea. Examine your skin for signs of rosacea. Determine if you are more prone to developing rosacea.

Every person has their own perspectives and opinions that are formed based on their experiences. Acknowledging that other people have perspectives that differ from yours will help you to more holistically consider your own views and begin changing them.  You cannot begin to change your own perspectives without considering and acknowledging that your truth is not the only or right view. For example, if you believe that women can’t be heads of state or CEOs, understand that there are many people in this world who don’t share your view. Otherwise, countries like Norway or Great Britain or companies such as Yahoo wouldn’t have had women at their helms. A good exercise to help you understand different perspectives is to choose a cultural trait that you do not possess. Try to imagine how that cultural belief might impact your perspective on a number of issues. If you know someone who has different perspectives than you, ask him if you can have a friendly conversation and exchange views. This kind of conversation can help you to understand other viewpoints and may provide you context or information that may change your own perspective.  Ask your conversation mate lots of questions about his perspectives and what informs them. Ask if he’s ever had a change in his views or even how he develops his perspectives over time. Always be respectful of other perspectives and don’t debate or fight with a person about his views. Being respectful and not debating will give you the chance to consider his views and see how they fit with yours. You may find that even if don’t see eye to eye, that he has good ideas that can help you change your perspectives. Remember that you can learn from any conversation, even if it’s to support your own views. Arguing is counterproductive and may keep you from developing.

Rosacea is a common skin disease that appears as a tendency for reddened skin, primarily on the nose, cheeks, forehead and chin. It can also appear on the ears, chest, and back. There are 4 main types of rosacea:  Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea: This type involves redness and visible blood vessels that appear like a spider web. Papulopustular rosacea: This type involves redness and swelling along with acne-like breakouts. Phymatous rosacea: In this type of rosacea, the skin gets thicker and bumpy. Ocular rosacea: The eyes are involved in this form of rosacea where the eyes are reddened and irritated. The eyelids can be become swollen. Ocular rosacea is often described as if the person has a sty. There are a number of symptoms that are commonly associated with rosacea. Take a look at your skin in the mirror to see if you are experiencing any of the following:  Flushing and redness in the center of the face Spider veins (broken blood vessels) Swollen skin Sensitive skin Stinging or burning in the affected skin Dry, rough, or scaly skin In Papulopustular rosacea, acne-like breakouts are common, especially in areas where the skin is very red. In Phymatous rosacea, the skin and nose can become very bumpy and the skin pores may be very large. In Ocular rosacea, the eyes appear watery or bloodshot and may sting, burn, and feel like there is a foreign object in the eye. The eyes can be very sensitive to light. Rosacea is quite common and generally occurs between the ages of 30 to 50 years. Individuals who get it tend to be fair-skinned and have someone in their family with rosacea. Women are slightly more likely to be diagnosed with rosacea than men. Also, people who tend to blush more easily than other people are more likely to develop rosacea.

There are a large variety of programs and websites that will allow you to download copies of YouTube videos to watch later. Typically a website will ask for the URL (address) for the YouTube video, and will then make it available to download. Software programs can provide download options when you visit the video.  KeepVid is one of the most popular sites for converting YouTube videos into a downloadable format. They often offer several quality options and file formats, depending on the video. DownloadHelper is an extension for the Firefox web browser which will automatically provide you with download links for the video you are currently watching. Click the DownloadHelper icon in the top right corner of your browser when viewing the video for download options. When downloading the video, you are often given several options. Typically you can choose between FLV (YouTube’s native format) or MP4, a universal video format. The iPod cannot play FLV videos, so be sure to download an MP4 version. Different generations of iPod touches have different supported video playback options. In general, if your iPod Touch is older, it most likely won’t playback HD video.  The iPod Touch through the 3rd generation only supports video up to 480p. 4th and 5th Generation iPod Touches and the 7th Generation Nano support video playback up to 720p (HD). All iPod’s can only playback video at 30 frames per second. If the video is not compatible with your iPod, you can try converting it with another program.

Promise yourself that you'll wait 48 hours before doing anything. Remember, thoughts don’t have the power to force you to act. Sometimes extreme pain can distort our perception. Waiting before taking action will give your mind time to clear. Suicidal thoughts can feel overwhelming, and there’s no reason to fight them alone. Ask a professional for help by calling emergency services or contacting a suicide hotline. These services have trained people ready to listen to you and offer help 24/7. Suicidal thoughts and impulses are very serious. Asking for help is a sign of strength.   These services are free and anonymous. You can also call 911 (US), 999 (UK), or your emergency services number to be connected with a trained professional. If you are a university student, your university may have a suicide prevention line, often through campus police. If you have called for help and are still experiencing suicidal thoughts, you need to go to the emergency room. Ask someone you trust to drive you, or call emergency services.  In the United States, it’s illegal for emergency rooms to turn you away in an emergency, even if you don’t have health insurance or can’t pay.  You can also look up mental health crisis centers or suicide prevention clinics in a directory. You may find low-cost options there. Your risk of suicide is increased if you’re alone with suicidal thoughts. Don’t bottle them up or keep them to yourself. Call someone you love and trust and share your thoughts with them. Sometimes just talking to a good listener can help you cope and be enough to calm your thoughts. Stay on the phone, or ask the person to come over and be with you so you’re not on your own.  You may feel worried or embarrassed about talking to someone about your feelings. The people who love you will not judge you for sharing these feelings with them. They will be glad that you called rather than try to handle everything on your own. You can't predict when new options might appear. It's impossible to know what might happen if you just wait...

Most machines have a setting which can be set by the operator to tighten the claw once in X amount of tries with a bit of randomization. Effectively, this means that the claw will be "loose" most of the time, but will tighten once in every X amount of turns (on an average––not necessarily every nth turn), so people only win every so often. There are also alternative, tricky programming for some machines. On such machines, there is a dual strength setting that causes them to grip with full strength initially and loosen after some time, giving the impression that the toy was caught but managed to slip. This effectively makes the machine more like a slot gambling machine rather than one depending on skill! Some older machines have claws with fixed strength from turn to turn. This is because these machines have claws with strengths that are fixed with a screw by opening the machine. In the case of such an older machine, skill can make quite a difference.

TL;DR in English: Understand the way the claw is programmed to close. Be aware of the peculiarities of the older machines.

Proper meditation enables you to take your mind into a calm space and put reality on hold.. The best part is that meditation can be done in the comfort of your own home (or even bed) and requires no prior training or monthly membership.  Choose a peaceful environment, preferably one without distractions. The temperature should be comfortable, it should be as quiet as possible, and you should be able to be alone for 30 minutes. Find a comfortable position. Many people like to lay on the floor with their bodies relaxed, their feet pointed outwards, and their palms facing upwards. There is no “right” position in which to meditate, so find a position in which it is comfortable for you to lie still. You can also try the lotus position. Close your eyes. This allows you to tune out anything that is going on around you. If necessary cover your eyes with a mask or a towel. If you are in a noisy place, it may help to wear earplugs. Think of nothing. Relax completely, let your mind go free. Be aware of your breathing. Don’t necessarily try to control your breath, but simply breathe and be aware of it.  Expect good meditation to take practice. At first, it is almost inevitable that your mind will wander. However, with practice, you will be able to completely clear your mind during your period of meditation. When your mind does wander, bring your focus back to your breath.  Consider using downloadable meditation programs. Simply go to Google or YouTube and search for “meditation.” Listening to music is a fantastic way to clear your mind and make a mental escape from reality. Music has been scientifically shown to affect many different areas of the brain, and it can actually help you achieve self-awareness and regulate your mood. It is also a commonly used tool to engage in escapism.  If you are unsure of what type or genre of music to listen to, you can try to listen to ambient music or...

Amend the soil with compost or manure before you plant. Find a garden bed that gets at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Space plants approximately three feet (90 cm) apart on all sides. Plant the valerian start in an area where it can grow tall. Place a wire mesh cage over the seedling to prevent birds from eating it. Water generously.

Though you will still be calculating displacement using a straight line, you will need to find the difference between an object's initial and final location when it moves in an arc.  Think of a girl sitting on a merry-go-round.  As she spins along the outside of the ride, she will travel in a curved path.  Angular displacement seeks to measure the shortest distance between the initial location and final location when an object isn't moving in a straight line. The formula for angular displacement is: θ = S/r, where "S" stands for linear displacement, "r" stands for radius, and "θ" represents angular displacement.  Linear displacement is how far an object travels along an arc.  Radius is the distance an object is from the center of a circle.  Angular displacement is the value we are looking for. Remember that radius is the distance from the center of a circle; some problems may give you the circle's diameter, in which case you will need to divide it by 2 to find the radius.  Here is a sample problem: A girl rides a merry-go-round.  Her seat is at a distance of 1 meter from the center (radius).  If the girl moves along an arc length of 1.5 meters (linear displacement), what is her angular displacement? Your equation should look like this: θ = 1.5/1. This will give you the angular displacement of the object.  After dividing 1.5 by 1, you are left with 1.5.  The angular displacement of the girl is 1.5 radians.  Since angular displacement calculates how much an object has rotated from its original position, it will need to be measured as an angle, not a distance.  Radians are units used to measure angles.

TL;DR in English: Find angular displacement when an object travels in a curved path. Input the linear displacement and radius values into the equation. Divide linear displacement by the radius.

Valerian doesn’t generally require a lot of fertilization unless the soil is poor. The soil should be between 5.5 and 7.0 in pH. The plants do well with some afternoon shade. They are large plants, so they need plenty of room to grow roots. If your valerian plants don’t tend to grow to a full four feet (1.2 m) tall, you may be able to plant them closer together. It can send out runners, so it may be best when offset from a vegetable or flower garden. Harvesting the blooms can keep it from being too invasive. Valerian leaves and roots are known for a strong, musty odor. The flowers can smell of vanilla, but are too strong for some gardeners. Keep this in mind before planting near a patio.  Valerian likes well-drained soil and plenty of water. Soak it every few days when you are not receiving regular rain.

Wear clothes which fit properly. Wash your work outfits regularly. Keep your apron clean. Tuck in your shirt.

Knowing the cause of your blocked fallopian tubes may help your doctor formulate an effective treatment plan. Sexually transmitted infections are some of the most common causes of blockages. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and other STIs can lead to the development of scar tissue that blocks the fallopian tubes and prevents pregnancy. This can be a problem even if your STIs were treated and resolved. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can result from sexually transmitted infections and lead to blockages. If you have PID (or a history of PID), you have an increased risk of developing blocked fallopian tubes and infertility. In women with endometriosis, uterine tissue grows outside its normal location, implanting on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other organs. If you have endometriosis, know that it can lead to blocked fallopian tubes. If you ever had a uterine infection, perhaps in connection with a miscarriage or abortion, it’s possible that scar tissue formed and blocked one or both fallopian tubes. Although uncommon in the United States, pelvic tuberculosis may also cause blocked fallopian tubes. Ectopic pregnancies are those in which the fertilized egg implants in the wrong place, usually in the fallopian tube. These pregnancies cannot grow to term, and when they burst or are removed, they can cause scarring and blockages. If you have ever had abdominal surgery, your risk of developing blocked fallopian tubes is higher. Surgeries on the fallopian tubes themselves are especially risky.

This is a simple step to looking professional.  Clothes which are too big can be baggy and look sloppy.  Clothes which are too tight will be uncomfortable and could be considered risqué. You want your clothes to look and smell fresh.  Be sure that you keep them clean and tidy by washing them as often as possible.  If you don’t have a lot of time to wash your clothes, consider using a drop-off service or a dry cleaner. You will likely only have one apron assigned to you.  It is important to wash this along with your clothes, but you will also want to keep it clean between washes.  Resist the urge to wipe your hands on your apron.  Wash your hands or carry a towel to wipe them on if you need to. If your apron gets dirty between washed, dab the stains with a damp towel.  Try using soda water to scrub stains out. Tucking your shirt gives you a more professional look.  Beyond that, it is important to keep your shirt secured so that it doesn’t accidentally get on the table or in someone’s meal.

Your girlfriend may have several options for handling a pregnancy. Before making a decision about what to do, make sure that she has good information about them.  Your girlfriend may want to have the baby and parent it. This may or may not mean marriage or a long-term relationship. The two of you should discuss your long-term relationship plans in addition to the pregnancy. Your girlfriend may want to have the baby and offer it for adoption. Your girlfriend may also decide to terminate the pregnancy (have an abortion). Laws regulating when and how a woman may elect an abortion vary by state. In some states, for example, a minor can make an abortion decision on her own, while parental consent must be provided in other states. Emergency contraception (“the morning after pill”) will not work if your girlfriend is already pregnant. These medications will decrease the likelihood of pregnancy only if taken within 5 days (depending on the specific medication) after unprotected sex. Deciding how to handle a pregnancy, or share the news of it, can be very stressful. Give your girlfriend time to think, and don’t force her to make a rushed decision. In the meantime, help her out with whatever she needs: sleep, food, relaxation, chores, etc. Maybe your girlfriend knows exactly what she wants to do about the pregnancy. On the other hand, she might be confused, unsure, or just not ready to make a decision. If she’s not sure, the two of you can start talking about your options and how to handle things.  Common options for handling a pregnancy including having the baby and parenting it (as a single parent or a couple), offering it for adoption, or terminating it (having an abortion). Each of these options brings unique concerns, so your girlfriend shouldn’t rush to make a decision without getting information and thinking things through. The decision is ultimately up to your girlfriend, so you should support her without being demanding. Don’t push your girlfriend one way or another. Avoid making statements like “You need to…”...

While basic vitamin C serum will last for up to two weeks, you should make a fresh batch of the moisturizing vitamin C serum every three days. If you want the serum to last longer, then you can store your vitamin C serum in the refrigerator for up to a week. Even though the serum will be somewhat protected from light in a dark glass bottle, you can also wrap the bottle in tin foil to make sure that no light can get to the serum at all. Before using the serum for the first time, you may want to test it on a small patch of your skin to make sure that it is not too acidic. Place a small amount on the inside of your wrist and wait a few hours to see if you have any reaction to it.  Do not use the serum if you notice any redness or a rash after using it. If you notice any burning or tingling, then you may want to add a little more water to the serum to reduce the acidity. Use your vitamin C serum twice daily after washing your face and moisturizing. If you used oil to make your serum, then the serum can take the place of your normal moisturizer. If you notice any tingling, burning, redness, or other reaction to the serum, wash it off right away and do not use it again.

A breastfeeding pillow is a somewhat long-term investment. If you enjoy using it, and it works well for you and your baby, you will be using the pillow until you're finished breastfeeding. Keep this in mind when selecting your pillow.  Some mothers only breastfeed for 3 or 4 months. In this case, you may not need to worry about the length and size of the pillow. A baby in that age range should fit on most breastfeeding pillows without much trouble.  Some women choose to breastfeed longer. If you intend to breastfeed your child for a couple of years rather than a couple of months, go with a larger sized pillow that can support a bigger child. However, as a baby gets older he'll be able to hold his head up and control motor functions more easily. A pillow might not be necessary for support as you get past a year old. Your baby is not the only factor when selecting a breastfeeding pillow. You also need to keep in mind your own size and shape to make sure the breastfeeding pillow fits your body.  Many breastfeeding pillows are designed to strap around your torso so the pillow can support the baby's head and neck when you breastfeed. Try to select a pillow that will fit your midsection shortly after birth. It's helpful to imagine yourself 5 to 6 months pregnant, as this is a good gauge of the size you'll need.  Breastfeeding pillows come in different shapes: "c" shape, "o" shape, and the crescent shape. The "c" shape tends to be the most universal shape and generally fits the most body types while providing adequate arm support.  O-shaped pillows wrap around the entire body, which can be good if your need extra support after pregnancy due to complications or a c-section.  Crescent shapes are designed to wrap around the side of your body. They might not work as well for smaller women as the sides might fall on the back of the chair, sofa, or wherever you're sitting. Some crescent shaped pillows, however, are adjustable and can be maneuvered to fit multiple sizes. Fastening straps are a popular addition to...

Chances are your parents will check on you during your day home to either make sure you’re not faking, or to see if you’re feeling better.  If your parents are at home with you, then just pretend to sleep and be sure to act accordingly when they check in on you. If your parents are at work, call to check-in with them. This will make you seem responsible, and not seem like you're having fun. If they call to check on you from work, wait for the phone to ring three or three and a half times before you answer, and sound as tired as you can. If you do stay home, pretend to sleep a lot and gradually start "getting better".  Around mid-day, remove one or two of your symptoms. If you don't show any signs of improvement towards the end of the day, your parents might want to take you to the doctor, who will see that there's no illness to be found. If you think your parents will take you to the doctor, try to phase out the sickness or just admit it. You're supposed to be home sick in bed, remember?!  Don't leave or get caught outside of the house. If a neighbour or friend of your parents sees you, they might tell. Be sure to put away any games before your parents come home. If they see you've been having fun, they'll suspect that you were faking the whole time. Clear out your internet history so that they won't know you were playing on the internet during the day. Don't forget to especially clear this search from your history. Do not save bookmarks or download items on your computer; parents will notice that you did these things during your “sick day.” Delete this page from your browser history, so your parents won't see it and question you.

Men are attracted to confidence. In fact, many men find confidence more attractive than pure physical beauty. Try to be a bit more assertive about your interests, goals, and ideas. This will prove attractive to most men.  It's important that you feel confident and attractive when trying to gain the interest of a man. In other words, do not try to be something you're not. Be yourself and be upfront about your interests and passions. This goes for online dating as well. While a cute profile picture might get a man to click on your profile, he won't end up messaging you if you have generic information included in your "About Me" section. Let your personality show in your online dating presence as well. When first meeting someone, most people assess them visually. If you're trying to seduce a man, make sure you dress in a flattering fashion to get his attention.  Remember, confidence is key. If you don't feel sexy, you won't appear that way to a man. If you're more comfortable in jeans and tees than dresses, try picking a flattering, sexy casual outfit rather than forcing yourself into an evening gown. If you're unsure how to dress in a flattering way, try asking a stylist at a department store to help you pick outfits that work for your figure or frame. When trying to get a man's interest, eye contact is important. Men often gauge sexual or romantic interest based on a woman's eyes and facial expression. Some studies propose this is because women are less likely to show interest with their bodies. Maintaining eye contact for the night can show a man you're interested. Do not be afraid to use your body to flirt. This can help a man see you are interested in him sexually.  Sit up straight and do not lower your chin. This makes you look confident about your body. Do not be afraid to use gentle, light touches. Touch his arm or shoulder. Place your hand on his knee. Tug at his hair. You should always find ways to flirt when first meeting a man.

A character profile is a place where you keep important details and dates for every character in your story, from what their allergies are to the date that one really important thing happened. Do this for every character, no matter how small their role. There are a lot of ways you can organize this information:  Keep a file folder with notes for each character. Have a notebook where you keep the character details. Use a word document on your computer. Utilize the “notes” function on your smart phone. Write details on sticky notes and have a wall dedicated to character development where you can display them. Sometimes details about characters don’t make themselves apparent until you’re in the midst of writing. But—whatever details you can decide on up front, write them down. Things to include:  Their name, age, occupation, special skills, education, family details, height, weight, eye and hair colors, mannerisms, habits, and important dates. There are so many details you can include, and a lot of them may never make it into your story. But the fact that you know them helps you write a more well-rounded and believable character. Visit https://www.writerswrite.com/journal/jun98/how-to-create-a-character-profile-6986 for a more comprehensive list of things you can include in the character profile. Did you start your project with a great story idea? Or are you being driven by an awesome character and aren’t quite sure of the plot yet? There is no right answer! But it’s helpful to think about where you think the story is going and how your character lives in that world. Add these details to your character profile. For example, if you have an awesome idea for a love story and you know some of the twists and turns it’ll take, write them out and see if your character fits into those moments. If you need a protagonist who is romantic and plans extravagant gestures, it probably wouldn’t make sense if your character is forgetful or sloppy.

Separating from a spouse almost always reduces your income and increases your expenses. Accordingly, you need to create a budget, preferably before you separate. You can make a budget with your wife. However, since you will be living alone, you really need to take control of financial decision-making yourself.  Look at all sources of income. If you are staying with the children, you can expect child support payments from your wife. But these can take time to establish. Also, you should ideally manage to support yourself as best as you can without relying on your spouse. Take a hard look at your expenses. If you were used to splitting the cost of car insurance, food, and entertainment with your wife, you will now be entirely responsible for those. Your individual expenses could increase as a result. You will need a cushion to help you transition to your single life. Ideally, you should save at least three months of expenses. This amount will give you time to set up your new life. Any balance on a joint credit card is generally the responsibility of both you and your wife. You want to make sure that no new expenses are added to the card. Call up the credit card company and ask that no new charges be allowed on the card. If necessary, you can close the card. You also should try to get a credit card in your own name. You should not use any joint card after you separate. Once you decide to separate, you don’t want your wife cleaning out the joint bank account. For this reason, you should move quickly to either close the account or require that both spouses provide signatures before money can be removed.  Call up your bank and ask how you can limit withdrawals. Also cancel overdraft lines and lines of credit. Make sure to have any direct deposit routed to a new bank account. This may take some time to go through so start as soon as possible. If you need your wife to agree to close the account, then you should find a good time to talk and raise the issue with her. You could say, “Since we’re living apart, I think it...

You'll need to get into the gym and work on building up and reinforcing the most important key to your swing - your body. While a massive chest, broad shoulders, and bulging biceps look impressive, a powerful swing actually requires other muscles. While the swinging seems to be done by your upper body, your upper body is mostly a vehicle for delivering the power that your legs generate. Work on improving lower body strength. Powerful, multi-joint moves like squats, lunges, and cleans are a great way to build up functional lower body strength. Abs, obliques, and your lower back muscles are necessary for stabilizing your upper body and delivering the power generated by your legs through contact with the ball.

Having a game plan for what you and your family will be eating each week can be a game changer. With a meal plan, you will be more likely to eat healthy foods, even if you are on the go. Sit down with your family once a week and make a plan for what you will be eating at each meal during the upcoming week. Once you have your healthy meal plan put together, you will need to make a shopping list. Go through all the recipes you will be making and list all of the ingredients you will need to make your meals. Be sure to go through your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer to see what ingredients you already have on hand. Making sure your kitchen is stocked with healthy food is one of the most important parts of successfully preparing healthy meals. Pick a day that you can make a weekly shopping trip, and make it part of your weekly schedule. When you come home from a long day of work, chopping and preparing ingredients for a healthy dinner can seem overwhelming. You can get ahead of the game by taking an hour or two on the weekend and prepping ingredients for your meals.  For example, you can chop the veggies you'll need for weeknight dinners on the weekend. If you're planning on making meals with rice, you can try cooking a big batch on the weekend. You can make the most of your time in the kitchen by giving batch cooking a chance. Batch cooking is when you prepare multiple portions of several meals that you will eat at a later date. You can store the portions in your refrigerator to eat later in the week, or in your freezer if you plan on consuming them later that month. You can be even more successful at preparing healthy meals on the go if you have a plan for your leftovers. For example, you can use Monday's leftover roasted pork in Tuesday's pork barbecue sandwiches. Crockpots will do the cooking for you while you are at work, school, or running errands. For example, you can place four chicken breasts and a can of salsa in a crockpot for 4 hours on low heat. When you come home, shred the chicken and place in...

Thresh the lentils to shake them loose from the plant. Remove pods by hand if any remain after threshing. Winnow the lentils to remove the chaff and other debris. Store the lentils in a dry, cool place.

You won't see the result immediately, but keeping a dryer garden is the best method for long-term slug control. Here are some tactics for making your garden less friendly to the damp-loving pests:  Water plants in the early to mid morning, so the soil dries before nightfall.  Install drip irrigation to minimize water use. Keep the yard free of debris, and mow the lawn regularly. Avoid organic mulches, such as straw or grass clippings. Space plants far enough apart to allow air flow between them. The following plant preparations all deter slugs to some extent, if you can find them in your local gardening store:  Oak leaf mulch or tobacco stem meal, spread as a barrier around plants Wormwood tea, made from steeping artemisia cuttings in warm water for 24 hours. Strain and combine with soapy water, then spray onto soil or slugs. Purchase strips of copper foil wide enough that the slugs can’t bridge it with their bodies. Use them to form a barricade around your plants or planting beds. Young children may cut themselves on the strips. Spread salt on the surface where the slugs are crawling around to kill them by drawing out moisture. Be aware that salt can easily kill plants and ruin soil. Use this around the base of potted plants on a porch, or place a barrier on the soil prior to spreading the salt in order to protect the integrity of the soil. Avoid using salt in situations where it can come into the contact with water (like when rainy weather is likely or a sprinkler is running). Water can dissolve salt and wash it off of "safe" surfaces and into the soil, harming soil quality. Frustrated gardeners have thrown just about any substance in their garden to try to keep slugs away. The following are the best of these homemade solutions, but are unlikely to deter 100% of slugs:  Coffee grounds may have mild effects on the health of your garden. Sharp, coarse sand scrapes against slugs, but may not deter them completely. Seaweed is not as effective as plain salt, but perhaps a little safer for your soil. Calcified...

There are many ways you can thresh the lentils. You can start with small stems and rub the plants between your hands until the lentils fall off. Or you can put the lentils in a bag or pillowcase. Hit the bag with a stick or walk on top of the bag to free the lentils. Threshing can also help shell the lentils, breaking them away from their pods. You can also remove the lentils by hand. If they are mature, they should come off easily when you pull them from the plant. Since this can be time consuming, only do this for lentils that did not come off from shaking the plant.  Try rubbing off any remaining pods. Put the stem in the palm of your hand and use your fingers to separate the lentils. If the lentils don't fall off easily, they may not be ripe enough. Try leaving them on a drying rack for a few days. Get 2 buckets that can hold your harvest. Stand outside and pour the lentils into 1 bucket. Lift up the bucket and pour the lentils into the second bucket. Keep pouring the lentils between the buckets until most of the chaff blows away.  When you pour the lentils into the bucket, chaff blows away in the wind while the heavier lentils remain in the buckets. If you can't go outside, stand in front of a fan on a low setting. Chaff includes leaves, stems, and other bits of dirt that might become mixed in with the lentils. It can also include shattered seed bits. Keep dried lentils in a jar or plastic container, preferably one that is airtight. Put the container in a pantry, cabinet, or another dry place. Dried lentils will last for about 10-12 months if stored properly. It can be difficult to tell when lentils have gone bad. If they appear hard and brittle or if they take longer to cook than normal, you may wish to toss them.

If you’re traveling, you’ll need to be able to get a good night’s sleep. If you’re traveling, you’ll need to be able to get a good night’s sleep. If you’re traveling, you’ll need to be

Get plenty of rest. Drink lots of fluids. Try to avoid being around people for a couple of days. Use a humidifier. Purchase lozenges or gargle saltwater for a sore throat. See a doctor if you have preexisting health conditions that could make your infection worse.

It’s a good idea to store any travel documents, visas and passports in a special pouch or bag where you won’t misplace them. Be sure to bring refills of any medicines that you won’t be able to replace while you’re traveling, along with toiletries that are must-haves and will be hard to find when you get there. A journal and camera are important so you can keep memories from your trip for years to come. If you’re bringing a tablet, this can double as a journal, and potentially a camera. Otherwise consider a small, point-and-shoot camera. Don’t forget that extra memory card and battery.  We all have our trusty chap stick that we absolutely can’t live without. So if you’re worried you could run out and not be able to find an essential item on your trip, pack an extra to be safe.  Back up credit or debit cards and a photocopy of your passport and visa could come in handy if you happen to misplace these items or they are stolen. If your allergies occasionally flair up or you tend to get migraines, make sure you’re better safe than sorry and pack appropriate medications. As a bonus you can also use this to carefully consider what you’ll need for each activity or stop on your trip. You’ll be able to easily anticipate what each day will bring. You may even notice a few items to eliminate because they won't be of use.  If you aren’t entirely sure what will come in handy for each stop on your trip, research online reviews to find out what others say about the experience and what they wish they’d brought. For instance, find out if a boat trip you’re planning to take provides sunscreen and towels or if this is something you’ll need to pack.  Comfortable shoes may be the single most important item you pack. Typically this includes a pair that ties and has arch support, although it varies by person. Bring articles of clothing that aren’t too specific and will match with multiple items you packed. This way you won’t need to worry about what’s clean and what needs washing. Plan to bring three pairs of socks, underwear, and...

TL;DR in English: First pack items that you know you can’t live without. Print out your itinerary to reference once you arrive at your destination and to help you stay organized from day-to-day. Pack in threes. Consider the culture and dress code for where you’re traveling and pack accordingly. Find a reputable guidebook and foreign language phrasebook. Be prepared with appropriate containers and zip lock bags to make going through airport security a breeze. Bring books, music, your laptop and anything else to entertain you during the lengthy flight, layover, and potential delays.

When your body gets infected with a virus, it works overtime to keep functioning while also fighting off your infection. Because of this, it's important to rest. Take a day or two off work or school and do low-energy activities like watching a movie or sleeping in bed. Resting will allow your body to focus all of its energy on overcoming the virus. Other low-energy activities you can do if you can’t sleep include:  Reading a book, catching up on your favorite TV show, listening to music in bed, and calling someone on the phone. Be aware that antibiotics are not effective against viral infections and that, in general, you need to simply rest and allow your body to combat the virus. Viral infections generally lead to dehydration (as a result of water lost through mucus production and fever). When you become dehydrated, your symptoms will get worse; it's a vicious cycle that you should try to break out of by drinking plenty of liquids. Drink water, tea, natural juice, and drinks with electrolytes to stay hydrated. Try to stay away from alcohol or caffeinated beverages, as these types of drinks can actually dehydrate you further. Viruses are contagious, which means that you can actually pass the virus to others, making them sick as well. Being around other people can also put you at risk of being exposed to other microorganisms like bacteria, which could make you more sick than you already are.  Take at least two days off of work or school to avoid getting other people sick. If you absolutely have to go into work or school, wear a mask to prevent others from becoming infected. The mask will prevent contagious particles from spreading through the air, especially if you are coughing or sneezing. Using a humidifier, particularly in your room at night as you try to fall asleep, can help to ease symptoms of congestion and cough. This will help you to sleep better, and a better quality sleep equates to improved healing capacity. Be sure that your humidifier is clean to prevent any air contamination (such as with molds)...

Know how anxiety can feel. Watch for feelings of nervousness or powerlessness. Pay attention to the physical manifestations. Note how much it affects your life. Understand anxiety can appear in different ways.

Set up your two equations in standard format and look at the coefficients of each of your variables. You are looking for the circumstance where the numbers are the same but the signs are different.  Consider this example:  x−3y=5{\displaystyle x-3y=5} 2x+3y=19{\displaystyle 2x+3y=19}   By examination, you should see that the first equation contains the term −3y{\displaystyle -3y}, while the second equation contains the term 3y{\displaystyle 3y}. These two terms are opposites of each other. Working across the system from left to right, add each term of the first equation to the corresponding term of the second equation. It may be helpful simply to draw a long horizontal line across the bottom of the two equations and add downward, as you would with any ordinary addition problem. The above example works out as follows:  x−3y=5{\displaystyle x-3y=5} 2x+3y=19{\displaystyle 2x+3y=19} ------------------------- 3x=24{\displaystyle 3x=24} Because you were adding, and one of your terms contained opposites, then one of the variables should be eliminated from the problem. Rewrite what you have left as a single equation.  In the example above, the y{\displaystyle y} variable was eliminated. The remaining equation is 3x=24{\displaystyle 3x=24}. Because one of the variables gets eliminated in this method, as with the prior subtraction method, some textbooks will refer to this as the “elimination” method of solving a system of equations. What you have left should be a fairly simple, one-variable equation. Solve it by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient. In the example above, divide both sides of 3x=24{\displaystyle 3x=24} by 3. You will be left with the solution x=8{\displaystyle x=8}. Take that solution, in our example x=8, and substitute it in place of x{\displaystyle x} in either one of the original equations. Choose the first equation:   x−3y=5{\displaystyle x-3y=5}          (original equation)  8−3y=5{\displaystyle 8-3y=5}          (insert value of x) -3y={\displaystyle 3y=}-3{\displaystyle 3}      ...

TL;DR in English: Examine the equations in standard format. Add corresponding terms. Write out the result. Solve for the remaining variable. Solve the second variable. Check your two solutions. Write out your solution.

You may feel like everything is going wrong or is about to go wrong, and you can do nothing to stop it. Alternatively, you may feel a sense of panic about the situations in your life.  Some people feel like they are always on edge or that everything in life can lead to something horrible.  Some people have panic attacks, which are a sudden onset of fear that can feel overwhelming. Though everyone feels anxious from time to time, anxiety that is persistent and pervasive is a bit more serious. If you have had major anxiety in your life for half a year or more, you should talk to your doctor about it. Anxiety doesn't just manifest in psychological ways; you'll also notice physical symptoms. For instance, you may shake, sweat, or breathe too quickly. You may also have a rapid heart beat. In addition, you could feel very tired, or you may not be able to focus on what you need to do. You could also have symptoms such as stomach problems, dizziness, headaches, or even chest pain. If you are just upset by anxiety every once and a while with few side effects, that likely means you don't have an anxiety disorder. However, if your anxiety affects your life everyday, whether by consuming your thoughts or stopping you from doing things, you may have an anxiety disorder. Depending on the type of disorder you have, your anxiety can look somewhat different. In addition, what triggers it can vary widely from person to person, or it may have no trigger at all.  Generalized anxiety disorder means you may feel excessive worry about your everyday life, even if nothing bad is happening at the moment. Panic disorder is when you suddenly have attacks of fear or anxiety that often last for just a few minutes but can last much longer. Social phobia is essentially a fear of being embarrassed. This embarrassment may keep you from doing certain things or going where you may want to go because you're afraid you'll do something embarrassing. Focused phobias are a fear of one particular thing or several things; in other words, when you are...

What do you want your movie to be about? Do you want an exciting adventure? Do you want a fantasy story? Do you want a love story? You could also try action, mystery, or science fiction.  If you're not sure where to start, think about your favorite movies. You don't want to copy them, but you can make a similar movie. You can also mix and match ideas. You don't have to choose just one! But, try not to let it get too crazy. Save some ideas for the next movie. You can even make a movie based on one of your favorite books or stories! The main character is the person who leads the story. For instance, in the film Brave, Merida is the main character. She's the hero, and the story is all about what happens to her and what decisions she makes.  You can have more than one main character, such as Nemo and Marlin in Finding Nemo.  Basically, your main character will drive the story forward. Your movie is all about them and what they do. "Story" is also known as "plot." Basically, it's just what happens. Writing it down in a few short sentences can help keep you focused.  Think about what happens to your main character. Maybe you want them to go on a journey to find treasure. That's the end of the story, so your sentences could be: "Jessie finds a map in her attic with a mysterious place marked on it. She decides to find the place! Along the way, she meets Robbie, a very smart young boy in the neighborhood, and they follow the map and find treasure." You can also write it as "What if?" statement, such as "What if a girl finds a map in her attic that leads her to a buried treasure?" When first starting your story, your character is going through normal life. They need something to set them off on a journey, such as the map in the example. They need to be working towards something, which results in the high point of the story, called the climax. The climax is the most exhilarating part of the story. It's the point where a suspect is about to get caught in a mystery, or in our case, it could be the point where Jessie finds...

TL;DR in English: Brainstorm ideas by yourself or with friends. Decide who the main character is going to be. Write down your basic story in 2-3 sentences. Make sure your story has a high point. Break your story into scenes. Write a short description of each scene. Put your story in script format. Add the dialogue. Make a list of all the characters in your story. Finish out all your scenes to complete the story.

The Law of Cosines allows you to solve any triangle when you know two side lengths and measurement of the angle between them. It works on any triangle, and is a very useful formula. The Law of Cosines states that for any triangle with sides a, b, and c, with opposite angles A, B, and C:   c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab cos(C). The first side that you know should be labeled a, and the angle opposite it is A.  The second side that you know should be labeled b; the angle opposite it is B.  The angle that you know should be labeled C, and the third side, the one you need to solve in order to find the perimeter of the triangle, is side c. For example, imagine a triangle with side lengths 10 and 12, and an angle between them of 97°.  We will assign variables as follows: a = 10, b = 12, C = 97°. You will first need to find the squares of a and b, and add them together.  Then find the cosine of C using the cos function on your calculator, or an online cosine calculator. Multiply cos(C) by 2ab and subtract the product from the sum of a2 + b2.  The result is c2.  Find the square root of this value and you have the length of side c.  Using our example triangle:   c2 = 102 + 122 - 2 × 10 × 12 × cos(97).  c2 = 100 + 144 – (240 × -0.12187)  (Round the cosine to 5 decimal places.) c2 = 244 – (-29.25)  c2 = 244 + 29.25  (Carry the minus symbol through when cos(C) is negative!) c2 = 273.25 c = 16.53 Recall that Perimeter P = a + b + c, so all you need to do is add the length you just calculated for side c to the values you already had for a and b. In our example: 10 + 12 + 16.53 = 38.53, the perimeter of our triangle!

Recognize if your guest of honor is mobile or requires assistance. Note if there are any risks involved. Consider transportation to and from the party. Remember the interests of the honored guest. Include your honored guest in the planning.

It’s best to choose one that’s close to the average penis size, which is about 4.7 to 6.3 inches (12 to 16 cm). Getting a dildo that’s too big will be very uncomfortable for you, and may cause bruising. After you know the size you want, choose the color you prefer, which may be the closest to your skin tone. Additionally, you can find dildos that have a foreskin, if that’s what you prefer. The harness will keep the dildo in place, plus it will allow you to easily use the dildo for sex. Once you have the harness on, tighten or loosen the straps as necessary to get a fit that’s comfortable to you. If you buy a dildo made for packing, it may come with a harness. As another alternative, you can look for a bundle containing both a dildo and a harness. You can wear any type of underwear you like. Additionally, you can wear your normal clothes over your harness and dildo. However, keep in mind that people may see your dildo under your clothes.  If you’re having a date night at home, you might enjoy showing off your erection through your pants. If you want to wear your dildo in public, try different positions for hiding your dildo to figure out which one is more comfortable for you. For example, your dildo may be less visible if you push it back between your legs or position it so it’s down against your thigh. These types of packers are really convenient for date nights. They allow you to easily go from flaccid bulge to erection so that you can have sex after a night out without changing your device. Each model is different, so read the product description to help you choose a device that does what you want. Some pack-and-play devices go from flaccid to hard if you tuck the dildo part of it between your legs when you’re not using it.

TL;DR in English: Choose a dildo that feels right to you. Put your dildo in a harness that you will wear. Wear your briefs or boxers over the harness and dildo. Consider purchasing a pack-and-play device for easier sex-play.

Does he or she get around easily, or only with help? Does he or she have trouble with steps, or walking through crowded rooms? Make sure your chosen venue is wheelchair-accessible (if necessary). Consider both the guest of honor and his or her friends. For example, if you are planning a party in January and live in Michigan, you must consider the possibility of snowy or bitingly cold weather. It may not be the best decision to bring a senior citizen out in nasty weather conditions as they are more susceptible to catching illnesses. Be prepared to change plans if the honoree is unwell on the date of the party. It would not be wise to have a 90-year-old attend a party if he or she was under the weather. Many (though not all) 90-year-olds no longer drive their own vehicles on a daily basis. Recognize if this will be an issue for your guest of honor. Offer to be a driver, or find someone who is willing to drive your honoree and his or her friends, if necessary. While you are planning a 90th birthday party, it does not have to be solely focused on the number 90. Instead, think of the current or past interests of your honoree and see if you can incorporate these into the party. This is a great opportunity to be creative!  If your birthday honoree loves the outdoors, consider booking a place in a local park and bringing food to cook on a grill. If your birthday honoree loves Italian food, book a private room at the nicest Italian restaurant in town, and decorate it before the party. If your honoree’s favorite and most memorable moment was her honeymoon in Paris, recreate a French restaurant in your kitchen and dining room and take her back to her younger days. Giving him or her a hand in the party planning can be a great topic of conversation and a fun way for them to stay involved in the party process.  Questions you may want to ask include:  Would you rather a small family gathering, or a large event with friends included? Would you rather a party in the afternoon or in the evening? Would you like a home-cooked...

There are many outlets available for selling vintage clothing online. Before you begin to sell, research your options and decide what works for you.  You can sell vintage clothes on many mainstream websites. Auction sites like eBay can be helpful. You can set a base price and let potential buyers bid. You could end up making a good sum if two buyers want the same outfit. Sites like Etsy can also work, although bidding is infrequent. You can also look into specialty sites. These are auction sites and websites specifically designed for the sale of vintage clothing. Such websites can be helpful as you'll be reaching your target marketplace instantly. Once you've decided where you'll be selling, create an account on your chosen website. This should not take long.  Usually, you need to provide basic contact information like your name and address. You may also have to create a brief profile where you explain a little about your history and background. You can write something simple, just stating you love vintage clothing and are looking to sell some extras from your wardrobe. You'll need to put up some pictures of the items you're selling online. It's important that you get clear photographs. Buyers will want to see your outfits from multiple angles so they can decide whether or not to buy. Do not rely on a phone camera. Use a high quality camera to take photos of a given item from a variety of angles.  If you don't have a great camera, see if you can borrow one from a friend. If you're not particularly adept at technology, see if a friend would be willing to take some pictures for you. It may be helpful to have someone model clothing items for you. It may be easier to get a sense of how a dress may look like if you can see it on a person. If you want to sell vintage clothing professionally, you'll have to build a brand for yourself.

Ideal containers for a dish soap flea trap include cookie sheets, rubber tote lids, plates, and pie plates. You want a container with a large surface area and short sides. A shallow dish will help you catch as many fleas as possible, because the short sides won’t act as a barrier for jumping fleas that might land in the trap. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 ml) of liquid dish soap to the water. Swish the water around with a spoon or your finger to distribute the soap throughout the water.  Fleas don’t drown in plain water because they aren't heavy enough to break the water’s surface tension. Adding liquid dish soap to the water reduces the surface tension. When the fleas jump into the trap, they will sink and drown. A homemade flea trap doesn’t have the power to attract fleas, so it’s best to put it somewhere that fleas have already been in your house. Place a towel on the floor to catch spills, and lay the trap on top of the towel on the floor. Make multiple flea traps for different rooms if necessary. Common places to find fleas include:  On carpets and rugs Near pet bedding Near windows,doors and food Around pillows and furniture Around pet bowls Near drapes and curtains Fleas become active a couple of hours before sunset and stay active all night long, so the best time to catch them is overnight. Once you lay the trap, try to leave it undisturbed for the rest of the night. When possible, close the door to the room to keep pets and kids out. In the morning, check the trap for dead fleas. If you caught any, dump the soapy water and rinse the dish. Fill the dish with fresh water, add more dish soap, and lay the trap out again on the towel for the next night. Repeat each night until you stop catching fleas.

TL;DR in English: Fill a large, shallow dish with water. Add dish soap. Place the trap where fleas have been. Leave the trap overnight. Empty and refill the trap each morning.

A contraction will feel like a tightening of muscles in your abdominal area, especially near your baby. However, a contraction is not always a sign of preterm labor, as you can have false contractions called Braxton Hicks contractions.  Braxton Hicks contractions are generally less severe than regular contractions. Though Braxton Hicks can be painful sometimes, actual contractions are usually accompanied by more pain and are more regularly spaced. In fact, actual contractions will move closer together as time passes.  If you're having more than eight contractions in an hour or more than four in 20 minutes, your contractions are likely not Braxton Hicks.  If you are having contractions and are worried, don't be afraid to call your doctor. She'll be better able to determine whether you are having false contractions or regular contractions. These false contractions can be triggered by a number of activities. If you or the baby has been moving around a lot, that can trigger them. You may also have a round of these contractions after sex or if you are especially dehydrated. Finally, a full bladder or even someone just touching your stomach can trigger these contractions. Therefore, if your contractions are light and started after these activities, they could just be false contractions instead of preterm labor. If your contractions are Braxton Hicks, they will eventually subside. To hurry the process along, try changing how you're positioned. Lie down if you've been moving around, or do the opposite if you've been lying down. You can also try drinking more fluids or getting extra rest to help alleviate these contractions over time. If you start feeling pressure in your lower abdomen, that could be a sign of preterm labor. You may also feel pressure in your pelvic area. If you're not sure whether the pressure you're feeling is preterm labor, call your doctor to be sure. If you start feeling cramps, it may be a sign of preterm labor. Generally, these cramps will feel like you are on your period. In addition, diarrhea...
