Arrange a time and place to meet up. Tell your friend why you're ending it. Give your friend a chance to talk. Set boundaries. Stick to your boundaries.

Roll the ends of your jeans up 2 or 3 times until they’re nicely cuffed. You can choose a T-shirt for a casual look, or a blouse to dress up the outfit. Wear a duster cardigan to complete the look—choose a black or gray duster for everyday wear, or wear a cardigan duster in a pale pink or blue to add color to your outfit.  For example, wear light-washed cuffed jeans, black flats, a plain black T-shirt, and a light pink duster. Wear statement jewelry to dress up your outfit, such as a necklace or earrings. Dusters are great when you need a light sweater in cooler weather. If you're wearing a casual cotton or knit dress, pair it with a similarly-casual duster made from a cotton or knit fabric.  Wear a blue sleeveless dress with a black or cream duster. You can wear nice sneakers, flip flops, or sandals with the outfit. During spring and summer, put on a pair of shorts with a tank top. Choose a duster made of linen, cotton, or a lightweight knit to add flair to your outfit. Wear sneakers or sandals to complete the casual look.  Choose a sleeveless duster to ensure you stay cool. A cute outfit might consist of jean shorts, a green tank, a sheer duster, and embellished sneakers. Whether you’re going to go to work, running errands, or getting a bite to eat, make your neutral-colored outfit unique by putting on a duster in a bright color, such as yellow, pink, or green. You can wear statement jewelry or a scarf in the same color as the duster for a colorful look.  Black pants, a gray blouse, and black heels would look great with a pink wool duster. Wear a white dress with white sandals and a silky light green duster overtop. Add a green statement necklace to complete the outfit. You can wear any type of top with the leggings—a tee will keep the look casual, while a nicer shirt or blouse will add style.

Using a long, sharp knife, cut the celery stalks about 1 inch (2.5 cm) to 2 inches (5.1 cm) from the base. This will provide room for new stalks to grow without removing the necessary nutrients.  Thoroughly clean the cut celery stalk base with water and pat dry with a paper towel or cloth. Make sure that you have cleaned the celery stalk base well and have cleaned the stalk of any dirt, debris, or bugs. Using warm water will stimulate the growth of the new celery stalks. Place the cut and cleaned celery stalk base in a bowl with the bottom of the plant down and the recently cut portion facing up.  Make sure that the bowl you use is clean and deep enough to hold several ounces of water without spilling over. Fill the bowl with enough water so that about 2/3 of the celery stalk base is submerged, approximately .5 inches (1.3 cm) to 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) depending on the size of your celery stalk base. It is crucial that your celery stalk base gets a lot of natural light. To generate the energy it needs to grow, your celery stalk will need an average of about six to seven hours of natural light per day. If you do not have a place indoors that receives enough natural light, you can learn how to use grow lights. This will help you re-create the conditions necessary for your celery to grow. As your celery stalk begins to grow, it will absorb a significant amount of the water surrounding the stalk. It is important that you replenish the water so that your celery can continue to flourish.  Check the water level in the bowl containing your celery stalk daily. Top off the water in the bowl as needed so that 2/3 of your celery stalk remains submerged. Change the water every 2 to 3 days. This will ensure that your celery stalk has the clean water it needs to grow tall and strong.

TL;DR in English: Cut the celery stalks from the base to make room for new stalks to grow. Put the celery stalk base in a 2 inches (5.1 cm) to 3 inches (7.6 cm) deep bowl partially filled with warm water. Store the celery stalk base in the bowl in a sunny place for 5 to 7 days. Change the water regularly.

When you don't want to keep the person guessing about why you don't want to be friends, a face to face conversation might be in order. Parks and coffee shops are good stops for breakups because they're neutral, public locations. Even though things might get emotional during your conversation, you'll both be likely to keep things contained if you're in a public place.  Avoid arranging to have a long meal together, since you might be ready to go before the food even arrives. If you don't want to meet in person, it's fine to break up with your friend over the phone. Avoid doing it over text, since it's harder to express yourself fully and have a real conversation. Do not break up with your friend in front of people you both know. This can be deeply embarrassing and hurtful. Be straightforward about why you don't want to be friends. Did your friend cheat with your boyfriend? Does he or she constantly cut you down? Whatever the reason, now is the time to spell it out. Telling your friend exactly what's going on is a brave thing to do, and in the end the person will probably be glad to know what happened. There is a situation in which being straightforward is not the kindest way to end a friendship. If you just don't like the person anymore, through no fault of his or her own, there's really no reason to say it out loud. If this is the case, go to Method 2 and let the friendship naturally fade. Your friend will either get defensive, apologize, or do a mix of both after your confrontation. You might want to hear him or her out, just in case there's the tiniest chance that you want to stay friends after all. If it's possible there was some kind of misunderstanding, you'll want to know. If that's not possible, continue the breakup process. Maybe you want to cut things off for good right here and now, or maybe you're fine seeing the person every now and then in a group setting. Whatever the case, be very clear that this is a breaking point, and from now on things will be different. Lay out your boundaries up front so...

Wear underwear that hugs your body. Pick what makes you comfortable. Jump around. Don't forget the coverup.

Your hair needs to be long so that it knots and loops naturally. Attempting to do this method with short hair will not create dreadlocks. During the time when your locs are forming, washing them or getting them wet may cause them to unravel. This is especially true of straight hair. Try using a dry shampoo to clean your hair until your locs have had a chance to get established. Conditioner detangles and softens your hair, which is the opposite of what you want to happen when trying to achieve locs using the natural method. You can wash your hair with water and shampoo or soap once the locs have had a few months to set, but do not use any conditioner. Mix a couple of tablespoons of salt into a spray bottle with water and spray it onto your locs twice a day. This will increase the friction among the hair strands and create more loops and knots. You shouldn't need to use creams, waxes, or hair products when forming natural dreads. In a month or 2, your hair should start to loop and knot together. Over time, your hair will start to form locs if you don’t condition or brush it. The natural method is the longest method to achieve dreadlocks and should only be attempted if you have patience. Since you have little control over how your locs form with this method, it’s important to separate your hair when it becomes severely matted or your locs become too big. If you notice that your locs are fusing together into a giant loc, separate them into smaller pieces by pulling them apart.

TL;DR in English: Grow your hair out to at least 10 inches (25 cm) long. Avoid washing your hair for a few months. Don’t condition your hair. Spray salt water on your locs to speed up the process. Wait 1-3 years for natural dreadlocks to form. Separate the dreadlocks into smaller locs when they get too big.

Keep your dog on a leash when going for walks, so it cannot run into burr or weed patches. This is particularly important after the end of the growing season, when seeds are ready to fall off the plant. Of particular danger are awns that enter the dog’s nose or mouth while it’s running through plants with awns. During the breathing process these can be inhaled or swallowed. The awns will latch onto respiratory or gastrointestinal tissue, just like the hair, causing serious injury or even death.  There are mesh hoods that attach to collars to keep the awns and burrs away from the entire face.  If you suspect an internal awn contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. You will want to have your dog examined by a professional. It’s almost impossible to find these using any regular tools (ultrasound or X-rays) so it’s hard to diagnose and treat. The only symptoms are lathery and general poor health. Pet stores and hunting stores also carry protective vests for dogs that will prevent burrs and awns from reaching the protected area. If you are not able to keep your dog out of areas with weeds and high grasses, such as if your dog is a hunting dog, you should invest in some protective gear for your dog. Boots are also available, but many dogs object to these, especially if they are trying to run.

TL;DR in English: Keep your dog out of weedy or high grass areas. Be particularly vigilant about not letting your dog inhale burrs or awns. Protect your pet.

When you're trying on swimsuits, you need to keep your underwear on. However, you also need to make sure the suit fits properly. Therefore, make sure your underwear doesn't bunch, and pick something on the slimmer side to wear to the store. Many websites will tell you to pick swimsuit style that's flattering to your body type, but the truth is, you can find a suit that's flattering in any style. The important thing is that you feel comfortable and that you like the suit.  For instance, you may not think you can get away with a two-piece because of your curves. If you don't feel comfortable showing as much skin, you could wear a tankini, which is basically a tank top with a bikini bottom, or a high-waisted bikini. Pick a fun pattern and rock that suit. For men, you also need to decide what you want out of your suit, such as how much skin you want to show. You could go for anything from full-length trunk shorts to swim briefs. You don't literally need to jump, but you should move around as much as possible once you get the suit on. You want to make sure it stays on in all the right places because you'll certainly be moving a lot in the water. Try walking up and down outside the dressing room or doing a few jumping jacks in the suit to see how it wears. Make sure it doesn't move around. A coverup is just something you can slip on over your swimsuit to go from the beach to the car or to hang out on the beach in while you're not swimming. For men, it can be something as simple as a t-shirt. For women, it can be anything from a pair of shorts and a top to a breezy, cottony dress made for going over swimwear or a sarong.

Memory that is in use takes more power. This results in using virtual memory on your laptop hard drive which drains on your battery.  Use only what you need at any given time. If your laptop has plenty of memory, then keep necessary applications open to avoid loading repeatedly from the hard drive. Close all the applications that run in the background, like your syncing or backup software. Quit cloud storage services or video players that you aren’t using. Run simple applications that don't use much RAM, disk drive, or processing power. Close unnecessary tabs you open in your browser. Use a basic text editor rather than the processor and RAM heavy Microsoft Word. Heavy applications like games or movie watching are especially hard on the battery.

The foundation of any good doctor-patient relationship is effective communication. Talking to your dentist before, during, and after procedures can help minimize your fears.  Speak with your dentist before the procedure about any fears or concerns you have. You may also want her to explain the procedure to you before it begins.  Ask your dentist to keep you informed as she is doing the procedure. Remember that you have the right to know what is happening. Tackling a fear can cause any person to lose confidence and avoid a situation. Employing the behavioral tactic of scripting before your appointment can help you engage with otherwise scary situations and minimize your fear of the dentist. Scripting is a technique where you conceptualize a game plan or “script” for a specific situation and follow through with it. For example, if you are scared of an upcoming teeth cleaning, write notes and develop a plan that will allow you to have equal command of the appointment. Think about what you could say in response to any questions or contingencies that may arise in your interaction. If you fear a dentist’s visit or a specific procedure, frame it in simple terms. Framing is a behavioral technique that can help you shape how you think and feel about specific situations by making them seem commonplace or banal.  If you are afraid about having your teeth cleaned, you can reframe it as, “This is a quick procedure that’s just like brushing my teeth.”  Working with smaller and more manageable units can help you overcome any fears. Relaxing can help you have a more pleasant experience at the dentist and may minimize your fears. From breathing exercises to medication, there are different relaxation techniques you can employ to manage your dental phobia.  Many dentists will suggest using nitrous oxide, sedation, or anti-anxiety medications such as alprazolam to help you relax during your visit.  Some dentists will give anti-anxiety medication before appointments if you suffer from severe nerves.  If you take any anti-anxiety...

TL;DR in English: Communicate with your dentist. Script procedures that scare you. Frame dental procedures in simple terms. Employ relaxation techniques. Distract yourself with different media. Take a friend or family member to your appointment. Prevent serious dental problems with regular visits. Reward yourself for positive appointments.

Let down the top section of your hair. Divide the top section down the middle into two sides. Working from the back, isolate a section of hair. The section of hair should be about 3 inches (9 mm) thick in diameter. Position the blade two to three inches (or more) from the root of your hair. Place the razor at a 45 degree angle relative to your hair. Using very light pressure, move the razor in short, choppy motions from the middle down to the ends of your hair. Since the hair at the top of your head is the most visible, make sure to use very light pressure and work slowly. Remember, you can always go back and remove more hair if it isn't enough. Make sure to use the comb to remove the loose hair as you cut. Do this for the rest of the sections at the top of your head until you have razor cut all of the sections. Once you have cut all of your hair, brush through your hair one final time to remove any loose hair. Your hair should feel much lighter.

TL;DR in English: Separate a section of hair. Hold the section taut. Use gentle pressure to cut the top sections. Repeat steps one through three.

You may have to wait even longer than that, depending on how dry or humid it is in your home.

Don't worry about the hole left by the balloon. You'll end up covering it with the dinosaur's head or tail. How long it will take for your project to dry really depends on what the weather is like.

Even though it may feel terrifying when you are experiencing it, remembering that sleep paralysis won't really result in any harm can be comforting. The main side effects of sleep paralysis are lack of sleep and increased anxiety. You may find that you are able to move smaller areas of your body, such as your toes, fingers, or your tongue. Once you are able to make a small initial movement, you may find that the spell of the paralysis is broken, and you're able to move the rest of your body. Try focusing on your body parts sequentially as in a relaxation routine. Bring your attention to your toes and think about them. Then try to move your toes and move on to your feet, legs and so on. Some people intentionally induce a sleep-paralysis state to encourage what they believe to be out-of-body experiences. In turn, imagining yourself moving or projecting movement may be enough to push you out of paralysis. Sleep paralysis can be accompanied by fear or even terror. Other people feel like someone or something menacing is in the room. As you experience these emotions, try to remind yourself that everything is okay. Focus on trying to deepen your breathing, especially if your chest feels weighted or heavy. Fear can be one of the worst aspects of sleep paralysis. Try to remind yourself that the thing you fear has not really happened. Focus on the here and now. Often, an episode of sleep paralysis can be broken when you hear a sound or feel someone touch you. Therefore, having a close family member understand that can help if they happen to see you having an episode, which will only work if you are able to open your eyes during paralysis. They can tap you or speak to you to try to arouse you out of the paralysis. If you can, open your eyes so that another person nearby can notice. However, not everyone is able to do it. Some people are able to open their eyes and look around. If you can, try to do so. Look back and forth quickly. This small movement helps some people come out of the paralyzed state.

TL;DR in English: First, realize sleep paralysis is not a dangerous or deadly condition. Focus on body movement. Imagine yourself moving. Focus on your breathing to stay calm. Discuss it with your partner or family members. Focus on eye movement.

Have the last few things you've written her been boring or commonplace? If you are not saying anything interesting, she won't want to reply back to you. Try to liven up your texts with a topic she is interested in or something that you know she would like to talk about. This way, she might be more willing to respond and hold a longer discussion with you over text. A good way to get her to respond is by letting her know you are thinking about her. Text her things like: "I really liked that outfit you wore yesterday." or "You kicked butt when we all went bowling last week." These things make her pay attention to the conversation, feel special, and know you like her. Bring up something that reminds you of her. Text her something like: "There is this flower outside that is the same colour as your eyes. It makes me think about you when I see it." It lets her know that you think about her outside of the current conversation. It will also likely bring her back into the conversation with you. Make sure you don't say anything inappropriate at this stage. Match what you say with how close of a relationship you have. If you just met her, you will not say the same things to her as you would if you've known her for a long time. If you are trying to get a longer response from her, ask her a question that has more than a one word answer. You can even turn it into something flirty. Ask her something like: "What is your idea of a perfect date, and why?" This puts the idea of romance in her head and requires a longer response. It also has the added benefit of helping you get to know her a little better.

Purchase an alcohol-based ink from your local craft store that’s the color you want to dye your wig. Empty the contents of the ink bottle into a spray bottle. Then, add in the same amount of water to the spray bottle, screw the top on, and shake it up to mix the contents. For an average wig, use 1 1-oz. (29.6-ml) bottle of ink. For a wig that’s especially long and/or thick, use 2 1-oz. (19.6-ml) bottles. If you don’t want to buy an alcohol-based ink and you have a Sharpie marker with an ink color that you like, you can use it instead. Remove the cap and pull apart the Sharpie with a pair of pliers.

Some areas require more forms than others, so it is a good idea to call your DMV or local transport authorities first. Most forms can be found online on their website or picked up from their office. Some forms you may be required to fill out include:  Application for Title and Registration of a Vehicle Sales tax exemption Proof of ownership Application for a VIN A special form for homemade trailers You will usually apply in person in the US, Australia, and Canada. Make copies before bringing them to the DMV or transport office. Check with your local office to see what you need to bring with you. In general, you may need:  Your driver’s license The weight slip of the trailer Bills of materials used to make the trailer The notarized description of the trailer Proof of car and trailer insurance Completed applications and forms A proof of address, including a driver’s license, payroll stub, utility bill, or voter registration card Fill out form IVA1t with a Declaration of Amateur Built. Scan and upload the necessary documents to the Technical Application System on this website: https://www.gov.uk/apply-vehicle-approval. Fees can vary widely between different areas. You may need to pay for the VIN plate, title, registration, and taxes. Some areas may have special fees applicable only to homemade trailers. You can usually pay by credit or debit card.  Typically, trailer registration fees are between $20-40 USD. Plate fees may be anywhere from $20-200. These fees can vary based on the weight of the trailer and the state of registration. Once you have submitted your application, it may take between 2-4 weeks for you to receive your documents in the mail. If you were given temporary documents, you can usually use your trailer, as long as you carry the documents with you. Once you receive your plate, screw it onto the back of your trailer.

Be sure that you communicate with your customers what happens after they place their orders, when and how their payments will be processed, when their orders will arrive, and how they will ultimately receive their orders.  Do everything within your power to meet expected deadlines, but communicate clearly and concisely about unexpected delays. With affiliate marketing, you may not have any responsibility for payments or orders, but you should be familiar with the systems in place with the product you are marketing in order to know what you are giving your “stamp of approval” to; if a customer has a bad experience with a vendor you plug, he may no longer trust your recommendations. One of the most important ways you can keep buyers happy is to communicate with them clearly.  Have a system in place (such as email notifications) for informing customers about any changes in the “status” of their orders.  For example, you may want to notify customers of the following status changes: “payment processed,” “order placed,” “order shipped,” and “order ready for pickup.” If there is ever a problem with a product or order, it is usually best to offer an immediate refund or replacement.  Keeping customers happy, keeping your seller ratings high, and encouraging repeat business should be your biggest concern as a seller. Once you have established a sales relationship with a core group of buyers, ask them to refer you to others.  You may want to have one or two people write testimonials for you and the products you represent to feature in your website or print materials.  You can also ask people to host informal get-togethers with their friends to market your products. MLM companies are set up so that if you recruit other sellers, you get paid a percentage of their sales as well as your own.  If your product or organization works that way, you may want to invite some of your trusted regular customers to also become sellers.

Because wild ginseng is so valuable, poachers are common in regions where it is grown. Fencing off the area won't deter someone who knows the ginseng is there, but it may prevent people from discovering the site. A loud dog may be an excellent thief deterrent. Ginseng that grows too close together may spread disease between plants or compete with each other for nutrients. Consider removing or transplanting plants after the first growing season to get down to 6 plants per square foot (65 per square meter), and again after the second year of growth down to 1 or 2 plants per square foot (11 to 22 per square meter). You may also plant ginseng in other areas each year during the fall to develop an ongoing harvest. Many growers do this so they have mature ginseng to harvest each year after the first batch matures. One major advantage to the wild-simulated method is a reduced risk of pest and disease, due to the wider spacing. While a few plants or berries may be eaten occasionally, you are unlikely to lose many of the valuable roots, and diseases shouldn't spread between plants at a high rate. If you do encounter a problem, contact your local wildlife department for information about ginseng pesticides. Keep in mind that you may lose your organic certification or your credibility in selling wild-simulated ginseng if you use pesticides. You'll need to wait about 7 to 10 years for your plants to mature into large, valuable roots, but with the right site and a little luck. Growing ginseng with the wild-simulated method requires a lot of patience, but almost no maintenance. Check periodically to see if the ground remains moist and covered with a small amount of leaf litter. If your ginseng is planted densely, harvest after 4 years or the roots might begin to dwindle These roots will not be as valuable, however. The part of the ginseng plants above the surface will die back in the autumn, but grow again in the spring. It will grow bigger each time, and all the while, the root below will be growing larger.

TL;DR in English: Keep the location secret and secure. Thin densely growing ginseng each year. Research carefully before using pesticides and pest poison. Wait for the plants to mature. Don't expect the plants to stay visible year round. Harvest red berries annually after the third year. Harvest mature plants at any point past the seventh year. Dig carefully so as not to damage the root. Wash and dry the roots.

Quarantining your new fish will ensure they are healthy and will not introduce disease or illness into your existing tank. The quarantine tank should be at least 5 to 10 gallons, with a sponge filter that has been in a tank with fish. This will ensure the filter contains good bacteria to populate the tank. The tank should also have a heater, an aquarium light, and a cover. If you are an avid aquarium owner, you may already have a quarantine tank set up. You should keep the quarantine tank clean and prepare it before you buy new fish for your regular tank. Once you get your quarantine tank set up, you can introduce your new fish to the tank through acclimatization.  Start by placing the unopened plastic bag in the tank for 15-20 minutes. This will give the fish time to start getting used to the water in the quarantine tank. After 15-20 minutes, open the bag and use a clean cup to scoop an equal amount of water from the tank into the plastic bag. There should be 50% tank water and 50% pet store water in the bag. Avoid mixing water from the bag with the tank water as this could contaminate the tank water. Allow the bag to float in the tank for another 15-20 minutes. You can close the edge of the bag to keep in from spilling out. After 15-20 minutes, use a net to gently scoop out the fish and place them in the quarantine tank. You should observe the fish every day in the quarantine tank to ensure they are not carrying any disease or parasites. After two to three weeks in the quarantine tank with no issues, the fish is ready to be introduced to the main tank. Doing a water change will allow your new fish to get used to the nitrates in the water and avoid stressing out your new fish. This is an especially important step if you do not do regular water changes of your main tank water. To do a 25 to 30 percent water change, remove 25 to 30 percent of the tank water and replace it with dechlorinated water. Then, cycle through the water several times with your filter to ensure the nitrate balance in the tank water is...

TL;DR in English: Set up a quarantine tank. Place the new fish in the quarantine tank for two to three weeks. Do a 25 to 30 percent water change. Feed any fish in the main tank. Rearrange the accessories in the tank. Acclimatize the new fish to the main tank water. Introduce the new fish into the main tank.

Allow of the sadness, upset, and misery inside you to release. Some people find that they benefit from crying. This is because crying is a physical outlet that allows you to move through emotion. It can also relax you. Research suggests that a stress hormone is released through tears. After you have finished crying, lie back on your bed and think through what has happened. If reflection makes you upset, let yourself cry again. No one can see you, so don’t be embarrassed. Just let yourself emotionally release. Go to a quiet place where you can sit with your thoughts. Describe your feelings, what's been happening, and how upset you are in as much detail as you can. Be sure to include how you feel physically. These can help you understand the underlying feelings of sadness. You might want to try writing a letter to your pain if you're having trouble simply writing your feelings.  If you've let your feelings out and are still sad, there is a good reason. You could still need to process a situational or internal conflict. Journaling can help you clarify your thoughts and feelings.  Be specific about events and feelings, and don't be afraid of sounding irrational or selfish; you can always write about it again when you've calmed down and have a better understanding of the situation. Current research suggests that dancing can improve mental health symptoms such as sadness, fatigue, anxiety, and their physical symptoms. Dance can be formal at a studio or just moving to music in your house. Research also shows that listening to sad music might help when you feel sad. Sad music provides a connection to the feelings which gives you an outlet for processing them. If you are not ready to deal with your feelings, music can provide a distraction till you're ready to confront your sadness. Doing something artistic is a way to be creative and express your sadness with color, form, shape, and sometimes texture. Art lets you release your sadness without words. Try:  Guided imagery: Start by visualizing your feelings. Close your...

You’d be amazed by how dirty your bathtub can get, for a place where you go to get clean! Since you’re taking a sitz bath to promote healing to injured tissue, you want to be extra sure that the environment is sterile.  Use a bleach-based cleaning product to sterilize the bathtub before drawing your sitz bath. Scrub the tub thoroughly to make sure you’ve removed all the soaps and other bath products that have accumulated on the surface. Rinse the tub thoroughly to remove both the soaps and the cleaning products. It’s very important that the water you use in your sitz bath is warm, but not scalding hot. The temperature should not cause any discomfort that could cause irritation or inflammation. Warm water, though, will increase blood flow to the injured tissue, speeding up the body’s healing process in that area. Dip your finger into the water, or place a drop or two on the sensitive skin on your wrist to test the temperature. Make sure that the bathtub is plugged so the water doesn’t drain out, then run the water until there’s enough water in the tub to fully immerse the area that’s giving you trouble. You don’t need to add anything to the water, as the warm temperature alone will make you feel better. However, there are many things you can add to your bath to treat different problems. Ask your doctor for a recommendation on what to add to your bath.  Salt is a good general additive for any sitz bath, regardless of the reason. Bring the water up to a temperature warmer than you’re comfortable with, and add ¼ cup of salt to it. Mix thoroughly so the salt dissolves throughout the water, then let the water cool to a milder temperature. If you have a vaginal infection, add 1/2 cup of table vinegar to the salt water solution. An herbal solution is good for treating hemorrhoids, as well as damage from tissue trauma like giving birth. Mix 1/2 cup of Epsom salt, two tablespoons of baking soda, 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of witch hazel, 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of olive oil, 8 drops of lavender essential oil, and 8 drops...

TL;DR in English: Clean the bathtub. Set your water temperature. Fill the bathtub with 3–4 inches (7.6–10 cm) of water. Mix soothing additives to the water if you wish. Soak in the sitz bath. Pat yourself dry when finished.

Wearing shoes inside someone’s residence is not acceptable. It is customary to provide guests with slippers when they enter a home so it is unlikely you will have to walk barefoot or in socks. Some hotels, restaurants and other public establishments also require the removal of shoes. A good rule of thumb is to remove your shoes if you see tatami, woven bamboo floor mats, on the ground. In Japanese culture, gift-giving is very common and it is considered a necessary act of humility to politely refuse a gift the first time it is offered to you. Japanese people will expect this and will continue to offer, at which point you can accept it.  A good way to respond the first time is “I am humbled by your generosity but I should not accept.” Do not open the gift in the presence of the giver unless they specifically ask you to. When offering a gift, show humility by saying “I would like to offer this small token” to avoid the appearance of bragging about your wealth or generosity. Receive the gift with both hands out, not just one. Punctuality is extremely important in Japanese culture so showing up late to a meeting or event may indicate that you don’t respect the time of your companions. If you are late, offer a contrite apology.

TL;DR in English: Remove your shoes before entering a residence. Learn gift-giving conventions. Show up on time.

If you have access to the Internet, then you can quickly find out whether or not there is a local warrant out for your arrest. Go to the city, county, state or federal website where you think you might have a warrant for arrest. Government websites are kept up-to-date, which makes them a reliable way to get information.  All federal government websites end in .gov, while those for states can end in either .gov or .us. Look for the "Legal" or "Health and Safety" sections to see if they offer a warrant search. Alternatively, try entering a phrase such as "arrest warrant" in the search bar on the website's home page. Some counties do not offer online warrant searches. In that case, look at the local sheriff or police department site for contact information. If you would like to speak to someone, you can call the court directly. You can call any court in the state that you believe the warrant may be in, because states maintain a warrant database that can be accessed from any state court. Do not identify yourself; instead, simply ask if there is an outstanding warrant for "Person X" (using your name here) in a criminal or civil case. Have the following information ready: the case number (if you know it), name, birth date, and Social Security number.  The court clerk of one circuit may not be able to give you information if you have an arrest warrant from a different circuit court. Keep in mind that for some cases such as family and juvenile delinquency cases, and domestic violence cases involving protective, peace, or restraining orders, you may not be able to find information through the court clerk. However, the clerk should still be able to tell you about an arrest warrant, even if he or she cannot give your specific information on the case itself. Criminal cases are mostly public record, so you should not have an issue getting information on these. However, some types of civil cases are not public record, such as family and juvenile delinquency cases, and domestic violence cases involving protective, peace, or...

An all-over hair color will completely fill in any white hairs, making it a good option if your hair is more than 40% grey.  You can opt for semi-permanent colors which last for a couple of weeks, or go for permanent colors which will stay until the hair grows out. If you're trying to match the hair dye to your natural color, it's probably a good idea to get your hair done professionally, as it's difficult to predict how home coloring kits will react with your hair. However, many people use the necessity of dyeing their hair as an opportunity to experiment with a new color. If you decide to dye your hair at home, avoid home coloring kits that contain ammonia, which can damage and dry out the hair. Be aware that going don this route will require a lot of maintenance, as you will need to reapply the color (or at least touch-up the roots) every time the hair grows out. Highlights are another option for covering up white hairs. Rather than coloring the whole head of hair, select strands are bleached or dyed in order to add texture and life to the hair.  Highlights can be very fine, adding subtle color and shine to to the hair, or they can be big and bold, adding variety and contrast. Highlights will need to done by a professional hair stylist and can be quite pricey. However, they tend to last a little longer than all-over hair dyes. Henna is a form of natural hair dye. It contains no chemicals and will actually condition the hair, leaving it shiny and moisturized.  Henna will produce a rich red color in your hair. The lighter your hair (or the more white hairs you have) the brighter the red color will be. Henna can be very messy - it comes in the form of a brick which needs to be melted down, or in a powder which needs to be mixed with lemon juice or tea or coffee. It has a mud-like texture and needs to sit in the hair for several hours while the color develops. One thing to be aware of is that chemical hair dyes cannot be applied to henna-treated hair, so make the decision to use henna on your hair with care,...

TL;DR in English: Go for an all-over color. Get highlights. Try henna. Experiment with more temporary solutions. Use natural hair rinses. Embrace the grey.

Wet the glasses under water. Dispense a small amount of dishwashing liquid into your hand, and use your finger to rub it on both sides of the lenses and all along the frame. Rinse the soap off completely. Give the glasses 5-10 minutes to air-dry, then use a soft towel to dry the frame. Wipe the both sides of the lenses down with a soft, lint-free cloth. Examine the glasses to make sure they are free from smudges. If either of the arms feel loose, use a tiny screwdriver to gently tighten the screws until they are just snug. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws, as this can actually damage the sunglasses. You can purchase an eye glasses repair kit for most pharmacies or online.

TL;DR in English: Apply dish soap to the lenses and frames. Air-dry and polish the glasses. Use a small screwdriver to tighten down the arms.

Each German-speaking country has its own particular greetings. Yet no matter where you are, the following standard greetings will work.  "Guten Tag" (goo-tehn tahg), “Good day.” Use this as a general way of saying “hello” during daytime hours. "Guten Morgen" (goo-tehn mor-gen), "Good Morning." "Guten Abend" (Goo-tehn Ah-bend), "Good evening." "Gute Nacht" (goo-teh nah-cht), "Good night” (usually said to close family only, when going to bed). "Hallo" (hah-low), “hello.” This is basically used anytime, anywhere. In Austria greetings such as "Servus" or "Grüß Gott" "Greet god" are common. There are two easy ways to say “My name is…” in German:  "Ich heiße [insert Name]" (“ich hi-seh [Name],” literally “I am called…”) “Mein Name ist [insert Name]” (“mine nam-eh ist [Name],” literally “my name is…”). For example, say either “Ich heiße Andreas” or “Mein Name ist Andreas” to mean “My name is Andreas.” In German, as in many languages, you will often need to differentiate between acquaintances and strangers (formal) and people you know well (informal) when speaking.  To ask someone’s name, for example:  "Wie heißen Sie?" (vee hi-sehn zee), “What is your name?” (formal) "Wie heißt du?" (vee heist du), “What is your name?” (informal) As with greetings, goodbyes may vary somewhat depending on where you are or who you are speaking to. Generally, however, you can’t go wrong with these:  "Auf Wiedersehen" or (owf vee-dair-zayn), "Good-bye!" "Tschüss!" (choos), "Bye!" “Ciao!" (chow), "Bye!"  This Italian phrase is often used by German speakers (mainly children) to say goodbye.

Most auction companies are independent ventures -- people like you have started out as auctioneers and then opened up their own business. However, there are some "houses" that are chains and are quite huge. Just like any employer, some are better than others, but you'll never know until you try. Try to find an auction company that specializes in your area (agriculture, antiques, etc.) and is willing to work with you and your schedule. Do they provide mentorship? What do they charge overhead? Will you be an employee or a contractor? These are things to consider when looking for employment. Auctioneers are often sought due to their expertise in certain areas. You'll need to be able to look at an item and roughly tell what condition it's in and what factors matter about it. If you overlook a scratch, you could be starting way too high. Here are the most common subtopics of auctioneering:  Learn about livestock and agriculture. Many auctions sell livestock and agricultural equipment. Acquire knowledge about antiques. Auctions regularly include antique items, and it helps to know information about eras of history and historical items. Auction off vehicles as an expert. Learn about makes, models, years, engines and unique trivia about vehicles. Some states, like Tennessee again, have a specific license for public automobile auctioneers. You will be held highly responsible for the turnout at your auctions. In order to get bidders in the first place, you'll need to market your auctions with the right media at the right places and times and to the right people. If the auction happens and the products don't walk, your client will not be happy. It's important to know your audience here. If you have an estate auction that is mostly Elvis memorabilia and thousands of vinyl records, that's totally different than an estate sale that's all 19th century modern art and fine china. The expanse of your network will be very, very important here. If you live in an area with a small population, you're obviously going to get more...

Powdered formulas cost less than pre-mixed or liquid options. They also have a longer shelf-life, so you’re less likely to end up throwing them away before you use them up. If possible, stick to powdered formulas that you can mix yourself.You can usually save money by buying a big can instead of a smaller one. Once you know what kind of formula works best for your baby, buy it in bulk to get a better deal. Discount and big-box stores such as Walmart, Costco, and Target often sell formula at lower prices than other retailers. Check stores like these to see what kinds of deals you can find. You may also be able to get better prices by ordering from online retailers. Do an online search for the product you’re interested in so you can compare prices for the same formula at several different stores. In addition to offering free samples, many formula companies offer coupons and discounts to loyal customers. Visit your favorite formula brand’s website and see if you can join a rewards club or mailing list to get deals.You might also be able to get discounts through a store membership. For instance, many drug stores offer reduced prices or special deals to customers who have membership cards.

The cleanser should be alcohol-free and gentle. Though many products on the market offer miraculous results, they are often just hype. Look for cleaners that have simple ingredients that won't damage your skin. If your skin is dry, look for a product that has low pH numbers (4 or 5), and if your skin is oily or acne-prone, choose a cleanser that has a high pH number (6 or 7). This will help even out your skin's ability to fight off bacteria. Use a small circular motion, start at your neck, and rotate toward your nose or counterclockwise. Don't forget your forehead and the spots in front of your ears.

If you are familiar to at-home spa treatments, you may already have some of the necessary supplies on hand. Check your cupboards for epsom salts, nail clippers, an emery board, a cuticle pusher, a file (or pumice stone), cuticle cream, toe separators, nail polish remover and nail polish. Although not all of these tools are absolutely required, having all of them will result in a salon-finish at-home pedicure, rather than an amateur one. If you are lacking any of the above ingredients, visit your local beauty supply store and pick them up. Talk with the store clerks and ask which tools are best for at-home use versus salon use.  Some manicure and pedicure kits are designed for professionals, and will contain tools you will likely not use. Purchase the basic needs for your at-home pedicure, leaving salon-grade tools to the professionals. Do not assume cheaper means better; although you do not need a set of professional pedicure set, you do not want a set that is flimsy, either. Test the strength of the tools, and make sure the metal is thick enough to resist bending. Purchase a clean bucket, if necessary, and some epsom salts for soaking your feet. Although you can use many things in the place of epsom salts, such as magnesium and specialized foot soaks, epsom salts are inexpensive, relaxing, and effective. Ideally, use a bucket that can house both of your feet simultaneously. Although you can soak one foot at a time, soaking both feet at the same time will be more comfortable and will make the process go by more quickly. Before you begin your pedicure, lay down a towel or two to catch any stray water, and to dry off your feet after your soak. Have an extra hand towel and old rag at the ready in case of spills or polish mishaps.  If possible, do your pedicure on a hard surface, such as tile or linoleum, as these are water-resistant. If you are working on carpet or wood, clean up any spills quickly. Choose towels you don't mind getting dirty or worn down. Although you will want to avoid a spill of any of your...

Your back should be pressed against the backrest, and your bottom should be as far back in your seat as possible. Avoid driving with your body scorched forward; if you can’t reach the pedals or steering wheel, adjust your seat, not your body. Imagine the steering wheel is the face of a clock. Place your left hand where 9 o’clock would be on the clock. Place your right hand where 3 o’clock would be on the clock. Maintaining this grip will give you the most control over the wheel. Always drive with both hands on the wheel. Driving with one hand twists your spine, which can lead to back pain. If you’re driving a manual car, only move your left foot when you’re using the clutch. If you’re driving an automatic, you should never move your left foot from the footrest. Keeping your left foot flat on the footrest will help support your back and pelvis while you’re driving. Don’t wear the strap that stretches across your lap over your stomach. In case of an accident, you want the strap to catch onto your pelvic bone, not your stomach.

TL;DR in English: Sit with your body all the way back in your seat. Hold the steering wheel at a “9 and 3” position. Keep your left foot on the footrest when you’re not using it. Wear your seat belt so the strap goes across your pelvis.

For all bills except $1 and $2 dollar bills, there should be a security thread (plastic strip) running from top to bottom.  The thread is embedded in (not printed on) the paper and runs vertically through the clear field to the left of the Federal Reserve Seal.  On authentic bills, this should be easily visible against a light source. The printing should say "USA" followed by the denomination of the bill, which is spelled out for $10 and $20 bills but presented in numerals on the $5, $50 and $100 bills.  These threads are placed in different places on each denomination to prevent lower-denomination bills being bleached and reprinted as higher denominations. You should be able to read the inscriptions from both the front or back of the note.  Also, it should only be visible against a light source. Plastic strips in high-denomination bills should glow a specific color.  The $5 dollar bill should glow blue; the $10 bill should glow orange; the $20 bill should glow green; the $50 bill should glow yellow; the $100 bill should glow pink. If your bill remains white under a black light, it is likely a counterfeit. Use natural light to see if your bill bears an image of the person whose portrait is on the bill.  Hold the bill up to a light to check for a watermark.  A watermark bearing the image of the person whose portrait is on the bill can be found on all $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills series 1996 and later, and on $5 bills series 1999 and later. The watermark is embedded in the paper to the right of the portrait and should be visible from both sides of the bill. Color shifting ink is ink that appears to change color when the bill is tilted.  Color-shifting ink can be found on $100, $50 and $20 dollar bills series 1996 and later, and on $10 dollar bills series 1999 and later. $5 and lower bills do not yet have this feature.  The color originally appeared to change from green to black, but it goes from copper to green in recent redesigns of the bills. This includes small words or numbers that are hardly visible to...

Play the same note (you can start with all finger holes open) as another fife player or an electronic or online tuner to get the right pitch. Roll the instrument in toward your mouth if your note is too sharp. Roll it out if it is too flat.  Experiment rolling slowly in and out on the same note to hear how it changes in pitch. The pitch doesn’t matter so much if you’re just playing by yourself, but you’ll need to tune anytime you start playing with another fife or instrument. Make a C sharp note by simply keeping all of the finger holes open and applying steady breath into the instrument. Roll the fife slightly in or out to see if it sounds sharp or flat compared to another player or a tuner.  Try a middle C# by using the same fingering but blowing harder. Tighten your lips to push a harder stream of air from your mouth. This is generally how to achieve a note in a higher octave. Remember that these notes are for a standard fife, which has 6 holes and is in a Bb key. Look up notes and tuning for your specific instrument if it is in a different key or style. Play a D note by covering every finger hole and blowing an even, steady breath into the blow hole. Use this note to tune with another player or a tuner by rolling the fife further in or out from your mouth to change the pitch.  Try to hold your fingers firmly over each hole, closing it completely to prevent air from getting through. Keep this in mind for every note you learn how to play. Remember that these notes are for a standard fife, which has 6 holes and is in a Bb key. Look up notes and tuning for your specific instrument if it is in a different key or style. Learn the proper fingering for nearly any note on the fife with a simple fingering chart. You may want to learn the basics of understanding musical notes, but you don’t have to.  The typical complete fingering chart for a standard fife ranges from a low F (all but the second to last hole covered) to a high B (the first, third, and fifth hole covered).  Experiment with playing every note you can....

TL;DR in English: Tune the instrument first. Try a low C#. Try a low D. Follow a fingering chart for the fife.

Scientists argue that physical activity helps people to cope with stress, mild depression and anxiety by causing chemical changes in the brain which can help to positively alter mood. Taking regular exercise can also improve wellbeing by raising self-esteem and self-control.  Adults should try to include 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise a week into their schedule.  After a long day of work, just a short walk can help you to feel better and put the stress of the day behind you. Be creative about the activity you do. You don’t have to just run around in circles or swim laps. Often getting involved in team sports can be a more fun way to exercise. As well as getting regular exercise you should also make sure you give yourself the chance to do other things you enjoy. For example, this could be going to the movies, going for a coffee with a friend, or playing with your dog. Doing fun activities will take you away from stressful environments and allow you to let your hair down for a while.  If you can achieve a good balance in your lifestyle you could find your stress levels dropping. Having a good work-life balance is very important for lowering your stress and achieving your best. Neglecting friendships will only make you more stressed in the long-term. As well as doing the activities that you enjoy, be on the look-out for new potential hobbies and activities. Yoga is a great option that combines physical activity, relaxation techniques, and a quiet and peaceful environment. It has been shown to work well in the reduction of stress and anxiety in scientific experiments.  There are a wide-range of possibilities to suit all ages and all fitness conditions, so don’t think it is only for the young and athletic.  Look up a course near you and speak to the instructor about the different options before signing up.

TL;DR in English: Enjoy regular exercise. Make time to do the things you like. Take up yoga.

Press Ctrl + Alt + T on your keyboard to open a Terminal window. Alternatively, you can go to "Applications" and select "Accessories." From this folder, locate "Terminal" and double-click to open up the Terminal window. Note that the Secure-Delete package of tools is available for Ubuntu and several other distributions of Linux, but may not be available for all Linux-based platforms. Within the Terminal, type apt-get install secure-delete. Hit ↵ Enter to instruct the Terminal to install the package. This package comes with four different commands.  The one you need for the purpose of permanently deleting files from your computer is srm or "secure remove." Other options include smem (secure memory wiper) which wipes traces of data from the computer's memory, sfill (secure free space wiper) which wipes all traces of data from the free space on your disk, and sswap (secure swap wiper) which wipes all traces of data from your swap partition. To delete a file using the secure remove command, type srm myfile.txt in the Terminal. Replace myfile.txt with the actual name of your file. This will delete an entire directory rather than specific files. The package includes several other options:  Type 'smem in the Terminal. Type sfill mountpoint/ in the Terminal. Type cat /proc/swaps in the Terminal. After typing your command, hit ↵ Enter. The utility should run and permanently, securely delete the file or directory specified in your instructions.

If your pain is severe, you are likely breathing rapidly and shallowly. In contrast,  controlled deep breathing (breathing from the diaphragm and exhaling from the chest) has been shown to harness the parasympathetic nervous system's “quieting response.”  Lay down in a quiet room. Turn off any distractions and reduce any exterior factors that may over-stimulate you. You may choose to close your eyes or focus them on a specific point.  Try to focus on nothing but inhalation and exhalation. If you can realize that you are in control of your body and take charge of your own breathing, you may be better able to prevent the pain from controlling you. Once you are breathing deeply, muscle relaxation may come naturally. Try to let go of all feeling in your body and remain focused only on breathing. Women practicing Lamaze breathing techniques in childbirth are utilizing the benefits of controlling breathing to lessen pain. If deep diaphragmatic breathing alone fails to provide you with relief, there are other options for calming tight muscles and the pain that accompanies them.  Progressive relaxation has been shown to be an effective form of muscle relaxation that requires no external stimuli. Begin with your toes, then work you way up through the muscles in the rest of the body until you reach your face. For each muscle, first slowly contract the muscle, then relax it, waiting until it is fully released before moving upward. When your mind alone fails to bring muscle relation, consider adding pressure point therapy. Research shows that finding pressure points associated with your specific type of pain and compressing them with your fingers reduces muscle tension, thereby alleviating pain. Be careful not to continue activating a pressure point if it seems to be worsening your pain when you remove your fingers, however.

TL;DR in English: Take a breath. Take the next step.

Confidence is a likable trait. Having confidence will earn you a lot of friends. It also boosts your popularity.   A good way to become confident is by practicing. A good way to practice is by standing in front of a mirror. Look yourself in the eyes, read out a passage that motivates you. Relax and try to gesticulate as much as you can. If you do this enough, you will start to do it around other people too. Averting your eyes and not looking directly at the person is taken as shy and definitely not confident. Always have a smile on your face. If you act-up as if you're angry, you may give yourself a bad reputation to be overcoming and undoing for weeks/months, or all year (bringing unnecessary stress on yourself). For some, the first day of school may be a pain. Try to make it more enjoyable (or at least bearable)  by waking up an hour early and getting 8 to 10 hours of sleep.

The tools and equipment you'll need include:  Vinegar or a mineral deposit cleaner for stubborn stains Scraper or razor for stickers, tape, paint, and sap Vacuum Sponge or lint-free cloth Sharp rubber squeegee for drying A few clean, lint-free rags or cloths Large bucket To clean a window so it has no streaks, it’s important to start by removing everything from the surface of the glass, including built-up dirt, bird droppings, stickers, tape, paint, sap, and other stubborn marks.  Stubborn stains and grime can be removed with white vinegar or a mineral deposit cleaner. Either spray the stains with vinegar and let it sit for five minutes before wiping, or clean the area with a sponge that’s wet with the mineral cleaner. To remove tape, paint, and sticky messes, wet the area and use a scraper to remove the tape. Hold the scraper at a 45-degree angle to the glass, and press gently as you move forward underneath the tape. When you're cleaning your windows, your sponge can pick up dust and dirt from around the window and create streaks. To prevent this, you should vacuum or clean the sills, sashes, and frames before washing.  For inside windows, use a small brush attachment and vacuum all around the windows. For outside windows, use either a vacuum with a long hose attachment, a portable vacuum, or a pressure washer. Outdoor windows are frequently bombarded with dust, dirt, and debris from the outside world. The best way to prevent that dirt from leaving streaks on your clean windows is by removing as much of it as possible before you start cleaning. Use a hose outfitted with a spray nozzle and spray all the outdoor windows to remove dirt, grime, and other buildup. You can use any cleaning solution you prefer, even for streak-free windows. The technique and tools you use are more important than the...

TL;DR in English: Gather your cleaning supplies. Remove stubborn stains. Vacuum the windows. Hose off outside windows. Mix your cleaning solution. Scrub the windows. Wipe the windows dry. Clean up excess water. Keep your squeegee dry. Replace the cleaner as necessary.

Talk to any friends or acquaintances you have in common and ask them if they happen to know when the person’s birthday is. Even if they can’t tell you off the top of their head, they may offer to try and find out for you, which will keep you from having to ask the person yourself.  Try saying something like “I think Richard’s birthday is coming up soon. Would you happen to know what day it’s on?” If you’re planning on surprising the person, be sure to mention it to your connection. Otherwise, they might let the cat out of the bag accidentally. A coworker will likely have the information you’re looking for, especially if they’ve worked with the person for multiple years. If not, speak with your boss in private and request their help in finding out. They may be able to consult the company’s employee records on your behalf. You might also be able to discover a coworker’s birthday in the process of seeking permission to throw an office party for them. Try asking something like, “Would it be alright if we planned a small party for Naomi’s birthday? Do you know exactly what day it is?” If the person is a close friend, appeal to one of their relatives. It’s as simple as saying “I’m drawing a complete blank. When is John’s birthday again?” Chances are, they’ll be more than happy to jog your memory. You should only reach out to someone’s family members if you’ve known them personally and have had contact with them in the past. Otherwise, your harmless request may be perceived as an invasion of privacy.

TL;DR in English: Consult your mutual friends. Ask your boss or another coworker if you work with the person. Get help from the person’s family if you know them well enough.

Cut a 3 by 12-inch (7.6 by 30.5-cm) strip from cardstock. Fold the paper back and forth to create a 3 by 3-inch (7.6 by 7.6-cm) square. Print out 2 by 2-inch (5.1 by 5.1-cm) photos of yourself and the recipient, then glue them to each panel. Write messages under each photo or on the back of each panel.  For a nicer touch, don't add a photo to the first panel. Decorate the panel with Valentine's day stickers and illustrations instead. Red, pink, or purple cardstock will work the best. You may have to tape 2 sheets together to make it long enough. Don't use original photos. Scan them into your computer, then resize and crop them as needed. Get some printer paper and fold it into a paper airplane. Write a Valentine's day message on the wings using a red, pink, or purple marker. Decorate the wings and body with Valentine's day stickers for a nicer touch.  For a more colorful airplane, cut a sheet of Valentine's day patterned scrapbooking paper into an 8 1/2 by 11-inch (22 by 28-cm) rectangle, and use that instead. Alternatively, write your message on the back of the paper before you fold it into an airplane. The recipient will have to open it in order to read it. Trace your notebook onto cardstock or scrapbooking paper. Cut the shape out, then glue it to the front of your notebook. Decorate the cover with Valentine's day stickers or illustrations. Open the notebook and write a message on the first page.  The notebook should be small, about 2 by 4 inches (5.1 by 10.2 cm). Red, pink, or purple cardstock are great choices. You can also use Valentine's day patterned scrapbooking paper instead. If you don't have paper, cover the front of the notebook with strips of patterned washi tape. Cut 2 identical heart shapes out of red, white, pink, or purple felt. Use embroidery thread in a contrasting color to write your message on 1 heart. Place the hearts together with the message on the front. Sew around the edges of the heart using a blanket stitch and more embroidery thread.  Choose a Valentine's day color for the...

Probiotics are bacteria that help maintain the natural balance of microorganisms in the intestines. There are some indications that consuming additional probiotics in supplement form can aid in digestion by bolstering the amount of beneficial bacteria found in the intestines. Probiotics are also in many different types of foods, so if you’d rather not take a supplement, you can get the benefits of probiotics by incorporating probiotic foods into your diet.  In the US, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate probiotic supplements as a drug, there are certain things that you should look for when choosing a probiotic supplement. Make sure that you can find the following information on the label:  genus, species, and strain of the probiotic (such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG) number of organisms that will be alive by the use-by date dose company name and contact information   The types of different probiotic strains within the supplement are very important. Some people react to certain bacteria strains better than others. For this reason, a probiotic with several different strains should be chosen. Over-the-counter digestive enzymes may aid in digestion by supplementing the body's naturally occurring enzymes. Enzymes break down food into its component parts, allowing the body to absorb it more easily. If these enzymes are effective, they could aid in the efficiency and speed of the digestive process.  Digestive enzymes are created by four glands in the human body, primarily the pancreas.  Although some alternative healthcare specialists and producers of nutritional supplements argue for the benefits of enzyme supplements, many doctors say more human studies are necessary to determine their potential effects. Some commonly sold supplements are:  Lipase. Lipase aids in the digestion and absorption of fat.  Papain. Papain is said to be useful in the digestion of proteins.  Lactase. Lactase aids in the digestion of lactose, the protein found in dairy products. Individuals who have low natural levels...

TL;DR in English: Consider taking probiotic supplements. Take digestive enzyme supplements. Take bitters.

This is optional, but as we talk about colors, is an important suggestion to offer. Bleaching the hair provides a clean slate for colors and dyes to show up in their brightest hues possible. This should of course be done by a professional if possible to decrease likelihood of hair damage. This is a two-step process consisting of: 1) which colors you want your hair to be and 2) what hair sections you want as these colors. Bright, edgy colors typically associated with scene hair include pink, blue, and purple. This gives room for mistakes and allows you to learn what colors you like for your cut and style. It is also less harsh on your hair than permanent dyes so it promotes less damage to your hair. Once you’ve decided on something permanent, go to a colorist to achieve a more permanent version of your look in the least damaging way possible.  You can have the entirety of your hair one color, have the lower section a different color than the upper section, or you can have single strand highlights. Get creative! Popular scene hair colors for the main section of your hair include bleach blonde and dark brown/black but whatever color you like best is fine. You can also keep your entire hair your natural color if that is more to your liking. Natural-colored hair dyes can easily be purchased at grocery stores, while other colors may require you to go to specialty shops. You can always have your hair colored at a salon as well. Follow the movement of your layers to act as a guide to applying the dye. If you’re at home and using packaged dye, follow the instructions and timing correctly to ensure your best color result.  Apply petroleum jelly on your hairline, around your ears, and at the base of your neck to keep dye off of your skin. Wear protective gloves to further prevent staining your skin. Prevent staining by using a towel over your shoulders. Do not wash your hair the day of dyeing your hair, to help your scalp keep its oils and its moisture. Use a water bottle to dampen your hair and promote even coloring.

TL;DR in English: Bleach your hair. Decide on the colors for your hair. Start with temporary hair colors. Use small clips to section off hair.

Realize that all things in an economic system have costs. These costs can be realized in real substantial terms or in the terms of trade-offs. Nothing is free. All benefits come at some sort of cost to someone. For example, if the residents of a community pay to maintain a park, other people who live outside the community but use the park are “free riders” – they do not realize costs associated with maintaining the park. Many economists are dedicated to the idea that correlation is not causation. What this means is that just because two things appear similar or appear to be connected, doesn't mean they are. Two things that appear related may not be related at all. For example, the fact that the number of radios owned by Americans in the early twentieth century increased along with the number of squirrels living in Central Park in New York City does not dictate a connection or causal relationship between the two. Before taking any action, understand that it may have repercussions that you may not anticipate. What this means is that economists – or anyone else – can’t predict an outcome because there are often unforeseen interactions that occur. For example, if a government lowers taxes with the intent of stimulating the economy, it could harm the economy because tax revenues along with government expenditures would decrease – harming industries that are dependent on government contracts.

TL;DR in English:


Ask your spouse to help the injured person. Discuss parenting with your new spouse. Move slowly in blending families. Avoid fighting in front of your child. Stay aware of your child's development.

Size up the scene. Obtain consent before providing care. Evaluate vital functions. Check the airway. Assess breathing. Assess circulation. Call for help.

TMD typically involve pain in the temporomandibular joint, located at the intersection of the upper and lower jaws. Other symptoms include:  Radiating pain in the face, as well as through the jaw and neck line  Stiffness in the jaw muscles  Reduced or limited movement in the jaw  Popping or grating in the jaw, usually accompanied by pain  A misalignment between the upper and lower rows of teeth Only a professional medical expert can determine whether you have a TMD. Though there is not a clear-cut "test" to arrive at or rule out TMD, a doctor will generally evaluate the symptoms you are experiencing, and may order an X-ray to further examine the temporomandibular joint. Though it may take time to arrive at a diagnosis of a TMD, your doctor may first need to rule out other causes of jaw and face pain, including sinus infections, ear infections and neuralgia, which causes pain in the face due to nerve inflammation. Once your doctor has diagnosed you with TMD, he will probably recommend a course of action. There are a number of options available, and what your doctor recommends will probably depend on your symptoms as well as your personal medical history.  Pain relievers, both over-the-counter and prescription-strength, may be recommended to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.  Muscle relaxants may be recommended by your doctor over a short period of time (ranging from a few days to several weeks) to help alleviate pain and reduce muscle tension in the jaw.  Sedatives may be prescribed to aid in sleeping at night, especially if TMJ pain flares up during sleep.  Corticosteroid injections may be recommended to help ease pain and reduce inflammation. Wearing a bite guard can help reduce pain and may make it easier to live with pain.

TL;DR in English: Understand the symptoms. Getting a diagnosis. Treat TMD symptoms. Wear a bite guard.

Your spouse doesn’t have to be parental right off the bat. Try having your spouse relate to the child as more of a camp counselor than a parent. Focus on creating a bond first before moving into a disciplinarian role. Ask your spouse to develop a relationship together, just the two of them, that doesn’t involve you.  You can discuss with your spouse to remain responsible for your child’s control and discipline until your spouse and child develop a solid bond.  Your spouse may monitor your child’s behavior and report back to you instead of intervening. Discuss what roles who will play. Will your spouse co-parent your child, or will parenting remain your responsibility? Discuss your desires, the desires of your spouse, and what you believe will be best for your child. Inevitably there will be difficulties in adjusting to a new family structure.  Be clear in your spouse’s role with your child. Is your spouse allowed to mediate fights? Can your spouse punish your child? What consequences and rules can your spouse enforce? You may need to think in terms of a timeline. Perhaps you may parent one way now, then slowly transition to different roles over time once the family feels more cohesive. Know that it will take time for your children to adjust to new living arrangements. This is especially true if you are combining your children with your partner’s children. Don’t try to set up different rules right away; instead, keep many similar family rules and ask your partner to follow them as well. Slowly, start to adjust things as they suit your family. Positive spousal relations and low conflict in the marriage helps children adjust better. While fighting is a normal and often healthy part of a marriage, avoid involving your child in the fight or fighting in front of the child. Reassure your child that fighting sometimes happens, but that it doesn’t change things or mean that you will get divorced or that the child is causing the fights. Try to find time to disagree when your child is not home. A remarriage is harder...

While you may be eager to help the injured person, you will be of no help if you, too, become injured. Before approaching the person, make sure there are no hazards, such as traffic, unstable structures, downed electrical lines, swift-moving water, violence, explosions or toxic gas exposure. If the hazards are still present and it is too dangerous for you to reach the person, call for help and keep yourself out of harm's way. If the hazard is not a threat to your safety, then you should approach the injured person. Another way you need to protect yourself is to wear any personal protective equipment you may have access to, such as gloves to protect you from bloodborne disease if the person is bleeding. You must attempt to get the injured person's consent before you can begin first aid. The person must give verbal consent or consent with a gesture. You should identify yourself, indicate your level of training, and ask the person if you may provide first aid.  If the person is unconscious, confused, mentally impaired, seriously injured or seriously ill, then consent is implied and you may assist the person.  If the injured person is a minor, you must obtain consent from his parent or guardian. If this person is not available and the situation is life-threatening then consent is implied and you may assist the child.  If the person refuses aid, you must respect this. Even if the person is seriously injured and the situation is life-threatening, if he refuses care you cannot attempt first aid. These include assessing the victim's ABCs: Airway, Breathing and Circulation. Lie the person on his back and put yourself close to his head and neck so you can better evaluate his vital functions. If the person is conscious, begin working but also talk with him to keep him calm and help slow his heart rate. If possible, try to keep the victim's eyes averted so he cannot see the wound. If the person is unconscious and there is no possibility of neck or spine injury, place one hand on the person's forehead and another...

Your speech may include an introduction, body and conclusion. The introduction and conclusion are optional, depending on your time limits. The body of the speech should begin by expressing gratitude to the most important people on your list. It may proceed with shorter expressions of gratitude to larger groups of people. On a blank piece of paper, compose a quick outline with section headings and the main points you want to make in each section. As you write your speech, bring to mind a particular individual that you want your speech to touch. Imagine you are in a conversation with this individual or that your speech is a letter to them personally. When people hear your speech, they will get the impression that you are talking to them on a personal level. A great thank you speech is written from a personal, genuine place of gratitude. You should think about what you are really grateful for, and try to express this gratitude in a genuine way in your speech. Some examples of genuine ‘thank you’ speeches include:  In 1985, Sally Field spoke from the heart in her Oscar thank you speech. She said, “I can’t deny the fact that you like me, right now you like me!” In 1970, at the age of 61, John Wayne was genuine about how long it took him to win, upon accepting the award for best actor for the role of one-eyed Rooster Cogburn. He said, “Wow! If I’d known that, I would have put the patch on 35 years ago.” You don’t want to sound full of yourself or too self-centered. One of the reasons that you are giving a ‘thank you’ speech is that there are so many people who have helped you along the way. You could express genuine humility, use your self-depreciating humor and wit or show your humility directly with simple statements.  For instance, you could say: “I am so humbled by this honor.” You could also use humor. For instance, when George Clooney won best supporting actor in 2006 but lost the best director award, he drew on his self-deprecating humor. He said, “Well, it looks like I’m not winning best director…” Write...

Pursed lip breathing is one of the best ways to deal with shortness of breath that is not caused by a health issue. If you're in serious distress, you should always call for help first. Pursed breathing has the following benefits:  It improves how much air is getting into your lungs. It releases trapped air from inside your lungs. It makes it easier for you to breathe. It slows your breathing. It helps your body get into a better breathing rhythm, releasing old air before taking in new air. It helps you relax. Your mouth should be closed so that you aren’t tempted to breathe through your mouth. You only need to take a small breath, so don’t worry about deeply inhaling during the 2 seconds. Relax your neck and shoulders as you breathe in and out. You can make pursed lips by pressing your lips together in a tight pucker, as though you are about to whistle or blow air onto something. The goal is a slow stream of air exiting your mouth. Release the breath through your mouth, allowing it to slowly flow between your lips. Take as many seconds as you need to let all of the air leave your body before you take another breath through your nose.  Your exhale should be slower than your inhale. Continue breathing through pursed lips until you feel like you’re in control of your breathing.

TL;DR in English: Use pursed lip breathing to control shortness of breath. Inhale slowly through your nose, counting to 2. Press your lips together as though you’re going to blow out a candle. Exhale slowly through your pursed lips.
