If the chemicals are giving off fumes or if the victim is in danger of getting splashed with more of the chemical, then remove the victim to another room or go outside.   Always take precautions to protect yourself when tending to someone who has received a chemical burn. For example, you may need to wear long sleeves

Remove the patient from the area of exposure. Take off any clothing or jewelry around the burn. Wash the burn thoroughly. Apply a clean, sterile dressing. Administer an over-the-counter pain reliever. Get a tetanus shot.

Place your crabs in the freezer for several hours. The cold air will numb the crabs and cause them to move around much slower. This makes it easier to handle the crabs when killing them and may even dull their pain. Remember that once they're desensitized to pain, you should kill them immediately so they don't recover and feel pain again. If your crabs are larger, they'll take longer to freeze. You'll know your crab has frozen long enough when it's easy to handle or manipulate. The crabs shouldn't be moving their limbs at all or react when you touch near their mouthparts. Try tapping a crab's shell. If the crab's eyes don't react, then the crab is desensitized. You can quickly pierce the two nerve centers on a crab to immediately and painlessly kill the crab. Place your immobile crab on a non-slip mat so that it's on its back. Lift up the tail flap. You should see a hole that looks like a small dot. This is directly over a nerve center. Take a knife (or awl) and spike into this tiny hole at an angle of 85°. Do this again for the front nerve center.  The front nerve center is located in the shallow depression at the front of the crab. Insert this spike at an angle of 60°. The whole spiking process should take less than 10 seconds. You can then cook the crab according to any method you'd like. If you don't want to worry about cooking a very fresh crab or killing it yourself, buy frozen crab legs and claws. These are steamed before they're frozen so all you need to do is heat them back up. To thaw your frozen crab you can either:  Place the frozen crab in the fridge and let it thaw overnight Place the frozen crab in a container of cool water that's set in your sink or on the counter

TL;DR in English: Freeze your crabs. Check for signs of sensitivity. Spike the crab to kill it. Consider buying and thawing frozen crab.

You have the option of not giving a reason or excuse for saying no. Remember, it is your right to decline to do things, and you don't own anyone an explanation. You can simply respond, "no," but if you feel like adding more, you can still be respectful while keeping it simple.  You could say, “I'm sorry, that just won't work for me.” Another way to say no is simply, “No, I can't do that.” If someone asks if they can buy you a drink, feel free to just say, "No, thanks." If you say no immediately, it might seem like you didn't even consider the request. In order to be respectful, take a moment to think about your answer--even if you already know what it is going to be. Take a pause, and then kindly say no.  You could say, “Let me check my calendar. I believe I already have a commitment that weekend.” Try counting slowly to three before responding. This way, you'll seem to be considering the request. A respectful response is not one that sounds overly negative. When turning someone down, find a way to inject a positive attitude into your words. It also helps if you use a friendly tone of voice! For example, you could say, “Wow! A cookie exchange sounds like such a fun idea! I'm sorry that I won't be able to come. It sounds like I'll be missing a good time.” It's important not to sound rude. Don't say something like, “No, why would I want to do that?” Instead, be kind and gracious. Say things like, “That's so nice of you to think of me, but I'm really not interested in learning to snowshoe.” You can also say, “I'm afraid I can't dog sit for you. Your puppy is cute, but I don't think my cat would agree.” Make it clear that you genuinely appreciate being asked. If you have to turn someone down, express your thanks that they thought of you in the first place. You could say something like, “Thanks for considering me responsible enough to watch your kids. I'm sorry that I'm busy that evening.” You can also say, “I appreciate that you think I'd make a good team captain. However, I'm more comfortable not having a...

TL;DR in English: Keep your explanation simple. Think before you speak. Make a positive statement. Be gracious. Show gratitude. Give a clear answer. Offer encouragement.

If the chemicals still pose a danger to the burn victim, then make sure that you remove him or her from the area of exposure. For example, if the chemicals are giving off fumes or if the victim is in danger of getting splashed with more of the chemical, then remove the victim to another room or go outside.   Always take precautions to protect yourself when tending to someone who has received a chemical burn. For example, you may need to wear long sleeves, gloves, a mask, goggles, or other protective gear to prevent yourself from receiving a similar injury. If there are any dry chemicals left on the victim's skin, then brush these chemicals off before irrigating the area. If the victim has clothing, jewelry or other items on that are contaminated with chemicals and/or obstructing your access to the burn, then make sure that you remove these items before you being treatment. Leaving these items on may cause further damage. You will also need to be able to access the burn site to brush off any leftover dry chemicals and irrigate the area with water. If you receive a burn from a chemical, you should first dilute the chemical compound. This is the best thing you can do to treat a chemical burn right away. To do this, flush the burn and the surrounding areas of skin with copious amounts of water. The water should be cool. Let the water run over the burn for 10 minutes or more.  Don't use a high pressure stream of water to wash the skin. Too much water pressure can make the chemical burn worse by driving the chemical deeper into the skin. Just use light irrigation by holding the wound under a gentle stream of water and keep it there for a long time. Some chemical burns should not be treated with immediate irrigation. These include dry lime, elemental metals such as sodium, and phenol. This is because combining these chemicals with water causes a harmful exothermic (heat-producing) reaction and/or releases hazardous byproducts. For chemicals in the eyes, remove contact lenses and use an eyewash.  These are found in...

Place your peeled ginger root on a cutting board and cut the root into planks or slices that are about 1 centimeter (0.4 in) thick. Add these pieces of ginger root to your favorite soups, stews, or curries. For example, add the ginger to:  Indian spiced carrot soup  Sweet potato soup with miso Chicken pho Spicy vegan coconut soup Add flavor to delicate white fish by steaming it in the oven with fresh ginger. Combine planks or freshly grated ginger with any other seasonings you want to use and spread it over fish. Cover the pan and roast the fish in a hot oven at 475 °F (246 °C) until the fish is flaky and cooked. Ginger works well with tilapia, salmon, halibut, and cod. Slice the ginger root into thin planks. Stack the planks and cut them into thin strips. Stir a handful of ginger root strips into any stir fry meal. For example, ginger can add a spicy heat to Szechuan dishes, lo mein, or stir-fried broccoli. To make a subtle glaze, whisk together 3 tablespoons (63 g) of honey, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of sherry vinegar, 1 tablespoon (3 g) of grated peeled fresh ginger, and 3/4 teaspoon (2 g) of ground black pepper. Brush this glaze over root vegetables, fish, pork chops, or roasts. If the food you're cooking has a long cook time, consider brushing more glaze over the food during the last 15 minutes of cooking time. . Peel a 2 inches (5.1 cm) piece of fresh ginger and slice it into planks as thinly as you can. Slice these thin planks into thin slivers or strips and toss them with chopped root vegetables on a baking sheet. Roast the vegetables and ginger for up to 45 minutes in a 425 °F (218 °C) oven. Serve the roasted ginger and vegetables with steamed rice or a barley pilaf.

TL;DR in English: Use sliced ginger root in soups or curries. Steam ginger planks or grated ginger with fresh fish. Stir fry ginger strips with vegetables, noodles, and protein. Use grated ginger to make a glaze for vegetables, fish, or roasts. Roast planks or slices of ginger with root vegetables

The standard way to teach multiplication is memorization, which only some children are good at – and it's debatable if you can classify this as learning, anyway. Make it interactive as much as possible. Use fingers and toes, blocks, an abacus, whatever you have on hand. Make it fun, not something that's discouraging. Please do not shame kids by having them recite in front of the class – it will never improve their memory but it will turn them off math forever and create an unpleasant disparity among students. With this method, students will need to know how to skip-count, which is essentially the same as multiplication. For example, skip-counting by multiples of 4 goes as follows: 4, 8,12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40. 3 x 4 = skip-count by 4 three times: 4, 8, 12. A harder example? 6 x 7 = skip-count by 7 six times: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42. The answer is 42. The best way to learn skip-counting is through the use of songs or other mnemonic devices. Skip-counting by multiples is also the primary method for multiplying single digits by remedial math systems such as Simple Math and Touch Math. Here's an idea: use a beach ball (or two). Take a permanent black marker and divide the ball in half horizontally. This will give you 12 sections. Using the same marker, number the sections from 0 through 11 randomly. Here's how the game is played:  You write a number 1 through 10 on the board (preferably the number you are working on in the classroom.) Any child in the room tosses the ball to another child. This child instantly calls out the number their right thumb is on. Both children compete in trying to be the first to say the answer, multiplying the number on the board by the number called out by the child who caught the ball. The winner continues the game by throwing the ball to another child. Have the child who throws the ball say the name of the child that they are tossing it to. This eliminates a mad scramble for many to rush to catch the ball. Pro tip? Let some air out of the ball. It is easier for third graders to...

TL;DR in English: Teach more than one way to learn. For kids who have trouble with learning multiplication, try skip counting. Turn it into a hands-on game. Change how you word the problem.

Getting vitamin D requires you to spend some time (15 to 30 minutes) with a good amount of your skin in direct sunlight. Keeping vitamin D levels high can produce up to 20% more testosterone. Consider talking to a medical professional about vitamin D supplements if you work inside all day and cannot spend time in the sun. Moderate to mild zinc deficiencies have been shown to lower testosterone levels. Talk to a knowledgeable healthcare provider about a zinc supplement. Some studies have shown that certain herbal supplements may help to increase testosterone or combat the effects of low testosterone. Some of these herbal supplements include:  Tribulus terrestris, which has shown an increase in sexual activity in animal studies. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Withania somnifera (ashwaganda), which has been reported in preliminary clinical trials to increase sperm quality. Most studies have used up to 450 mg four times a day. Ginkgo biloba, which increases testosterone synthesis. Dosage was 270 mg of ginkgo extract 4 times a day. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Yohimbe, which has been used to increase sexual interest and treat erectile dysfunction. Doses vary but ranged from 5.4 mg (3 times a day) to 10.8 mg (3 times a day). Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

This is where the footing, or foundation, of your column will be. It's important that you build the footing down into the ground as opposed to on the surface so that your column is stable. The depth and dimensions of the hole will depend on several factors, like the size of your column, how much weight it will support, and the kind of ground you're building on. If you're not sure, do some research online or consult with a professional mason.  As a rule of thumb, the hole should be at least 12 inches (30 cm) deep. Make sure the hole is at least 4 inches (10 cm) longer and wider than your column will be so you have enough room to build the footing. Verify that the bottom of the hole you dug is level before you proceed. If it's not level, your brick column won't be either, so you'll want to level it first. Cut a wooden plank or stud into 4 pieces—1 piece for each side of the frame—and nail them together to make a square frame. Then, place the frame in the hole you dug so it's laying flat on the bottom of the hole. Since you'll be using the empty inside of the frame to make your footing, make sure the frame is 4 inches (10 cm) longer and wider than your column will be when measured from the inside edges of the wood and not the outside edges. For example, if you want to build a concrete column that's 24 by 24 inches (61 cm × 61 cm), you'd want to make a frame that's 28 by 28 inches (71 cm × 71 cm) when measured from the inside edges of the frame. and let it dry completely. Once you've poured the concrete, take a piece of wood and drag it across the surface of the frame to scrape off any excess concrete and smooth out the surface so it's level for your column. Then, wait for the concrete to dry.  How long it takes for the concrete to dry will depend on the type of concrete you use. Some concrete can take weeks to fully cure, while others are designed to dry in a few hours. If you want to speed up your project, try using a fast-setting concrete mix so you can pour the concrete and start working on your column all on...

Casually proposing that the two of you do something together can remove some of the anxiety and worry you may feel about asking her outright about her feelings for you. For example, you can ask her what she is doing tonight or this weekend. If her plans are open or not fixed, you can share what you would like to do and ask her if she wants to go to along with you.  If she says she’s busy, it could mean she’s not interested but it could also mean she’s actually just busy. Ask her if there are any other days that she would be free to do something and see what she says. For example, you can ask: What are you doing this weekend?” If she says “Nothing” or “I was thinking of seeing a movie,” then you can say “I was planning on going to the movies, want to go together?” If a girl is texting you about a restaurant she really wants to try, a test she is worried about, a movie she would like to see, or some school event like a party or dance, she may want you to ask her about it. Follow-up on her conversation with a subtle invitation to do the things she is interested in, with you.  For example, if she has been talking about trying a new pizza place nearby, tell her you have also been wanting to try it and suggest that you go together. If there is a school event coming up that she has been texting you about, tell her you have been looking forward to it and see if she wants to go with you. Maybe she’s been texting with you about an upcoming exam in a class you both share. This is a great opportunity for you to suggest getting together to study for it. If all else fails and you still aren’t sure how a girl feels about you, you can always just ask her directly. If she is really into you, it’s unlikely she will say “no” if you ask her about it. Depending on how bold or certain of yourself you are feeling, you can let her know you like her first, and then ask her if she feels the same.   By making the first move, you are taking the pressure off, which she might appreciate, especially if she is shy. Be prepared for her to...

An inventory test will determine how well they can already spell. You might show them pictures and ask them to spell the word. You can also do a multiple choice test, in which they must select the correctly spelled word from a list of misspellings.  Do not grade this test for points. This test is simply to see where the student is currently. You should make sure to test the learner every week or two to see how much they have learned and which concepts they are still struggling with. If the student is struggling with a particular concept, make sure to focus on those areas. Create new lists of words that tackle this unique problem. Continue to work on these concepts until the student has mastered what they were struggling with.   Include words that you know your student can achieve so the list is achievable. For example, if your student can't figure out when to use “gh,” make a list of words that includes “through,” “night, “borough,” and “brought.” Have them memorize these words if they don't understand the rules. If you have multiple students, try to create a unique list for each of them. For large classes, break the students up into groups based on their level of spelling. Make a list for each group. There are many irregular rules of spelling in the English language. While word study and phonics can help, students may need to memorize trickier words. Show the student multiple ways of studying these strange words.  Flashcards are a great tool. On one side, put a picture of the word, and on the other, spell it out. Show the student the picture, and ask them to spell the word. Review words you've already learned for a few minutes everyday.  Reading simple picture books can help students recognize words and letters. Ask students to match the words with the picture. This will help them associate the letters of the word with the meaning. Some students may require more assistance than others. In addition, some people may have disadvantages when it comes to learning spelling. Be patient and sensitive with their...

Low-waisted flares, also known as hipster jeans, feature an extremely low waist that starts just above the pubic bone and button or zip several inches below the navel. Hipster flares were a very popular look in the early 2000s. Flared jeans are definitely making a comeback, but not the low-waisted hipster versions, which can look dated. Go for high-waisted flares that sit above the hips and button above the navel.  Look for flares that have clean lines and fit comfortably around your waist. As a bonus, high-waisted flares can elongate your legs. If your legs are on the shorter side, try this look to add a little length. Long flares used to be fashionable, but the new silhouettes are cropped or hit just above the ankle. If you’re unable to find a pair with the length you want, hem them yourself or have them tailored for you. Avoid the super-long flares that “puddle” on the floor.  Avoid buying flares that overwhelm your legs. You want them to be fitted at the knee and then gently flare out. A few designers have created lines of “petite” fitting flares, which feature a much-shortened bottom hem and a re-working of the classic shape to flatter small frames. Allison Izu is one such designer. When flares were first popularized in the 1960s, embellishments like patches, jewels, eye-catching stitching and frayed hems were popular, and they came in every wash under the sun. The flares being reintroduced into fashion today are no-frills – they aren’t overly “retro” and have little to no embellishment. The favored washes are “clean,” which means there’s no fading or distress on the material and the shade of denim appears uniform.  Look for flares with clean washes in classic true-blue and dark indigo. If you prefer lighter washes, just make sure the color is uniform. For example, icy “rinsed-out” looking hues are popular right now. While denim is probably the most popular material for flared pants, they are certainly not the only choice. Trouser flares are essentially dress pants made with fluid materials and a very...

TL;DR in English: Opt for high-waisted flares. Go for cropped or ankle-length flares. Stick to clean washes with minimal embellishment. Invest in a pair of trouser flares.

If you want to be a successful student, then paying attention in class is absolutely crucial to your success. While you don’t have to love every single subject that comes your way, you should be motivated enough to listen to your teachers, to avoid texting your friends, and to be focused enough to really hear what your teacher is telling you, and to be able to pick up on the most important aspects of each lesson.  In order to pay attention, it’s important to keep your eye on the teacher. If you’re confused about something, you can quickly ask for clarification. If the lesson goes on and you feel yourself getting more and more lost, it’ll be hard to pay attention. . Taking notes is also crucial to your success as a student. Not only will taking notes help you study later, but doing so will also keep you engaged in the classroom, and will help you learn the material because you’ll have to jot it down in your own words. Some people even use different highlighters or pens to organize their notes as they take them to really help them absorb the material. Taking notes will make you feel more accountable in the classroom and will help you listen to your teachers. If you really want to succeed in the classroom, then it’s important that you ask your teachers questions, when it’s appropriate, in order to get a stronger understanding of the material. You shouldn’t interrupt the lessons, but you should ask questions if you really have them in order to avoid being confused and to prepare for your exams. Asking questions will also keep you active in the discussion and will help you learn the material, too. At the end of each class, you can also review your notes and prepare questions to ask the next time if anything is unclear. Some teachers want you to wait until the end of the lecture to ask questions. If this is the case with your teacher, be respectful of that. If you want to succeed as a student, then it’s important for you to participate in class. You should not only ask questions when you have them, but you should...

Concrete cures best in temperatures above 50 °F (10 °C), so check the forecast for the next week. If you can expect warm temperatures, then now is the right time to pour the concrete.  Pouring in the spring or summer is ideal to avoid any unexpected cold weather. If there is a sudden cold snap after pouring the concrete, professionals usually protect the concrete by building a structure around the site and using a portable heater. This is an expensive option, but it’s the best choice to protect the concrete. While the concrete is curing, it can’t handle excessive weight. Let it dry for a full 24 hours before stepping on it to prevent damage to the surface.  If you’re water-curing the concrete, take extra care to avoid stepping on it while you re-wet the fabric. If the concrete is in an area with a lot of foot traffic, block the area off and hang signs warning about wet cement. Make sure any pedestrians will know they can't step on the area. Even if the concrete looks dry, it can't handle excessive weight until after it cures completely. If the concrete is in your driveway or a similar area that cars drive on, wait at least 10 days before driving or parking your car on it.  If you have a large vehicle like an RV or truck, wait 28 days before parking it on the concrete. Also wait 28 days if this is a commercial area with a lot of vehicle traffic, like a parking lot. The weight from multiple vehicles can cause the concrete to sink. Introducing new chemicals to the concrete before it’s completely hardened can interfere with the curing process. Wait a full month before applying any paints or stains to the concrete. If you do want to paint the concrete and used a curing compound, remember to get one that is nonreactive with paint.

TL;DR in English: Pour concrete when the temperature will be above 50 °F (10 °C) for at least 7 days. Wait 24 hours to walk on the concrete. Drive on the concrete only after 10 days have passed. Let the concrete harden for a full month before painting or staining it.

A comb with sturdy, widely spaced teeth is essential for combing out severe tangles. Fine combs and brushes are likely to meet too much resistance, forcing you to either pull out clumps of hair, or stop brushing. Be sure to pick a comb that doesn't have teeth so wide that smaller tangles slip through. Always comb tangled hair starting near the ends. Place the comb a few inches (several centimeters) from the end of the tangled hair, and brush downward. Repeat until that section of hair is free of tangles, then move the comb slightly higher up. Repeat until the entire length of your hair is combed. For long or thick, severely matted hair, this may take an hour or more. If you have a sensitive scalp, hold a section of your hair as you brush it. Grasp a portion of hair about the thickness of a marker or glue stick between your fingers, and give it a half-twist to keep the comb from pulling directly on your scalp. Comb this portion of hair beneath your hand, moving your grip higher once the hair below it is successfully untangled. Apply a drop of conditioner or oil to a tough knot and rub it in with your finger. This will help lubricate those hair strands further, reducing the amount they cling to each other. If a mat of hair refuses to come apart despite all your efforts, you may need to thin it out. Open a pair of scissors and hold your hair tight with your other hand. Run the bottom blade of the scissors along the underside of the mat, then gently tug at your hair to remove loose strands. If it has been weeks or months since the last time you combed your hair, cutting mats out may be your best option, as you can spend hours detangling with no results. Use a wide-toothed comb until the severe mats and tangles have been straightened out. Switch to a fine-toothed comb or a brush to remove any small knots that may remain. Rinse out any hair treatments completely once your hair is untangled. If you have tightly coiled hair, and the severe mats have separated enough to allow you to part your hair, clip each section...

Colleges usually offer grants or partial scholarships. Look for programs or scholarships from outside sources that can help with the remaining cost. Apply for as many of these scholarships as you can to reduce the cost of your education as much as possible. Once you are in college, maintain the academic standing required of your scholarship. Most grants or scholarships require that you maintain a certain GPA or otherwise remain in good academic standing. Continue to work hard and get grades high enough to keep your scholarship for as long as you need it. Athletic scholarships are highly competitive, and they only go to the best players in a region or state. If you're not the best player on your team and in your region, getting an athletic scholarship will be difficult. Practice and work hard to improve in your sport. Contact coaches at colleges you're interested in.  The best athletic schools might overlook mediocre academics, but if a scholarship comes down to you and a similar player with better grades, chances are it'll go to the other person. Because of this, keep your grades up, too. Being proactive about getting recruited will put you on the coach's radar as an athlete. Since you came to them, they'll know you're interested in their school and will be more likely to consider you. While this scholarship can help you get a top-tier education for free, it comes with a cost. You'll have to spend upwards of 20 hours a week practicing your sport, which can keep you from investing in the academics of college. These scholarships are also re-awarded each year, so they can be taken away if your coach doesn't feel you need or deserve it each year.  Consider lower-division schools, too. While you may dream of playing for your favorite Division I school, these scholarships are much more difficult to get. The ROTC also offers scholarships if you're looking into joining the military. For most ROTC programs, you will serve four years of active service and four years with the Individual Ready Reserve, during which you...

TL;DR in English: Apply for academic scholarships. Aim for an athletic scholarship. Consider going the ROTC route. Apply for more unique scholarships.

There are paint thinners that have been created specifically for model use. If you are using a specific brand of paint, use the same brand of paint thinner. If you can't find paint thinner or want to create your own, combine 50% distilled water with 50% of propyl alcohol and your paint in a 1:1 ratio. Thinning out the paint lightens the consistency and enables you to make more consistent coats. Use a mild dish soap and cold water with a rag to wash off your car. Remove any particles of dust that may have built up on the surface of the car as a result of sanding. Wipe the model dry before moving onto the next step. Dip your brush into your paint and fill in the more intricate pieces of your model, like the mirrors first. Make sure not to paint over areas where your model will fit together, or you may have trouble assembling your model correctly. Get a variety of different sized brushes to make painting easier. You can use either a synthetic or natural-haired brush to paint your car models. Continue to paint over larger parts of the car. Do not dab or scrape with the brush unless you are doing specific detailing. Instead, you want to achieve an even coat by making long and even strokes. Popular paints for model cars include Testors, Model Masters, Humbrol, Tamiya, PollyScale, Floquil, and Vallejo. Allow your model car to dry overnight before going back to apply additional coats to the model. Continue to work at painting your car, applying the paint as evenly across the model as possible. Apply painter's tape to finished details so that you don't ruin them when applying additional coats of paint.

Find out if your school has a School Lunch Advisory Council. Get to know your school’s nutrition staff. Talk to your principal about nutritional guidelines for school events. Encourage your friends to make healthy choices.

Let him decide if he wants to have lunch near you, rather than always rushing to eat near him. If he works in another department, don’t spend too much time there or he might feel that you’re being intrusive.  You can send plenty of signals that you’re interested without crossing his boundaries. Remember, no one wants to feel like they’re being sexually harassed at work. If they feel harassed, this could land you in trouble! Some workplaces actually prohibit employees from becoming romantically involved. Others have strict policies about the kind of communication that is allowable while on the clock. Don’t do anything to jeopardize either of your jobs. If it has to wait until after work, let it. Check the employee handbook. If you didn't get a copy, there might be one in the breakroom or office. It could also be available digitally. This can be the hardest part, but it’s almost bound to happen. No matter how subtle you both are, people are sure to notice what’s going on. Workplace gossip helps relieve the boredom of routine, so expect questions and rumors.   Gossip can work in your favor. If your crush wasn’t sure of your intentions, hearing a rumor might help him get the full picture. Decide whether you want to dismiss rumors or be honest about your feelings. This can help you or backfire, so choose wisely. Remember that the things you tell someone in confidence will likely make their way around the office eventually. It’s very common for people to see workplace flirting as a way to get ahead in the company. First, you need to be honest with yourself that this is not what’s going on. Then let anyone who asks know that you would never engage in flirting simply to advance your career. This may not happen every time, but it is more likely if the guy has a higher position than you. With online dating apps, you can easily flirt with (and date) multiple guys at once, and no one has to know. At work, things are quite different. Even if your crush doesn’t realize that you’ve also been flirting with the guy in the...

TL;DR in English: Keep it respectful and give him space. Know your company policy. Prepare for gossip. Know that your motives might be questioned. Stick to one guy at a time.

If you’re passionate about making nutritious food options available to yourself and your classmates, getting involved in a SLAC is a great option. Talk to your teachers or the school administration about whether your school has a SLAC and, if so, ask them how you can join. Even if your school doesn’t have a council dedicated to nutrition, you may be able to get involved by joining a more general student advisory group or a school nutrition club. Talk to your school’s administration about setting up a meeting with the cafeteria manager or other members of the nutrition staff. During the meeting, you can ask questions or bring up any concerns you have about the school menu. You can also ask them about ways you can get involved in promoting better nutrition at school. Your cafeteria manager can also help connect you with the nutrition director who is responsible for menu planning for your entire school district. While lunches and snacks offered in school cafeterias and vending machines are carefully regulated in many areas, food options for school events and fundraisers are not always subject to the same rules. Ask your principal about setting rules about what kinds of foods and snacks are allowed at after-school events, classroom parties, and fundraisers. For example, you might work together to establish a rule that soda cannot be served at school events. As a student, you can use the power of peer pressure for good! Set a good example for your friends and classmates by choosing good lunch and snack options and encouraging them to do the same. Don’t tease or put down your friends for choosing less healthy options. Instead, focus on the positive. For example, you might say, “Hey, have you tried the salad bar? It’s actually really good!”

TL;DR in English:


Choose the right time. Don't get emotional. Use "I" statements. Be willing to compromise. Be prepared for a no.

Using a screw extractor involves drilling into metal. The last thing you want is a flying shard of metal in your eye. Wear safety goggles made with polycarbonate lenses. A center punch is a metal cylinder that looks like a pen. You can find them at any hardware store. With one hand, hold the metal tip against the center of the screw head. Pick up a hammer in your free hand and use it to tap the top of the punch. Strike it very lightly. If you did it right, you’ll see a small divot in the screw. This guides your drill bit into the center of the screw. If the screw is in a tight space, use a small metal drill bit and a right angle drill. Be careful that the bit doesn’t slip while you’re drilling. Thread cutting oil is sold in big jugs at hardware stores, but you only need a drop. Tip the bottle over to splash a little bit onto the screw head. Cutting oil lubricates the metal, which means less time spent drilling and less wear and tear for your drill bit. If you don’t have this oil, you can try a drop of motor oil, WD-40, or another lubricant. Household oils will help but offer less protection to the drill bit. Penetrating oil is needed for rusted screws or ones attached to metal surfaces. It loosens the screw, making it easier to remove. Add a drop of it onto the screw head on top of the thread cutting oil. If you don’t have penetrating oil, acetone may work too.

TL;DR in English: Put on safety gear. Align a center punch over the screw. Indent the screw by hammering in the punch. Apply a drop of thread cutting oil to the screw. Add a drop of penetrating oil to rusty screws.

If you keep checking the girl out and staring at her, it could make her feel uncomfortable and threatened. If the girl looks or tells you that she feels uncomfortable, stop looking at her and walk away. If the girl catches you, don't try to avoid the situation. Instead, admit that you were checking her out, apologize, and stop doing it. She will appreciate your honesty and your apology. You can say something like, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to stare; I just think you’re really pretty. I won't anymore." If you think a girl is pretty and want to look at her, you can introduce yourself to her. Go up to her and introduce yourself by telling her your name and then asking for hers. Take a look at her body language. If she seems interested in talking to you more, make small talk with her. You can say something like "Hey, my name is Dan. What's your name?" If you're checking out girls around your significant other, it can do more than just make the girl that you're checking out feel uncomfortable. It can also cause your significant other to get jealous and mad at you. Avoid checking out girls around your significant other or keep it as stealthy and unnoticeable as you can.

TL;DR in English: Don't make the girl feel uncomfortable. Apologize and stop checking her out if she catches you. Introduce yourself to the girl instead of checking her out. Don't check out girls around your significant other.

Never talk to your parents when they are angry or stressed--they'll be less likely to listen to your arguments, and even less likely to say yes to your requests. Plan ahead of time and choose a time that allows for a conversation that isn't tense or rushed.  Plan ahead of time by choosing both a time and place that will make you relaxed and comfortable. It also helps to plan what you will say ahead of time. Choose your arguments, research your topics, and even write out a script to prepare yourself. Although it may be a topic about which you're passionate, avoid getting angry or begging. Try to speak in a level tone without raising your voice, and make sure you present your arguments--by stating the facts, you're able to avoid emotional appeals.  Avoid raising your voice, whining, interrupting, storming off, and slamming doors.  If your emotions start to get the best of you, take a deep breath and take a small break from the conversation. Come back to it only when you are composed and ready to continue. I statements help you to make an assertive statement without the receiving party becoming defensive and closed off. Listen to your parents' argument, describe how you feel, how the decision affects you, and how you hope for it to change.  For example, you can start the conversation by saying "I feel that I'm mature enough to grow out my hair." Follow it up with "I feel like a child when I'm not allowed to make decisions about my personal style." Lastly say something like, "I would like to grow my hair out to prove to you that I am still a responsible and mature individual." Be willing to "meet in the middle." Not only does compromising show that you are mature, but it can keep both parties happy. Promise that you won't grow your hair any longer than shoulder length, or agree that you won't add any wild colors or styles.  Promise that you'll get your hair cut every once in a while, trim dead ends, keep your hair looking nice, etc. Remind them, that long hair can always be cut, so it's not like you're trying to...

Use the internet to look into your options to find the best movie to accommodate a good kiss session. There's plenty of apps for your smartphone that will also show you movie times near you. Try to find a movie that you've both either seen or have very little interest in seeing.  This can get tricky with the high price of going to the movies these days.  For a more enjoyable time, wait until the movie you actually want to see has been playing for a month or two. If you think or know she wants to see something, suggest it yourself.  The idea is to pick a movie that won't be too crowded. Consider the duration of the movie.  You should decide if you think you'll want a three-hour movie or can settle with an hour and a half. It could be uncomfortable to smooch to a very serious movie. Either go for a comedy, romantic-comedy, or a horror.  These movies also get less attendance than the bigger blockbusters. Be on the same page as your date. One of the best ways to create chemistry is for the two of you to watch trailers together. Be assertive if there is something you want to see, but don't push it too hard. In the end, decide on something together.

Don't try to paraphrase too much information at once. Focus on the sentences that most effectively support your ideas or arguments, and condense them into a paraphrased statement. If you want to use a longer section of text, it's better to write a summary.  A summary is broader than a paraphrase because it focuses on the main points of an entire section of text and provides an overview of the text as a whole. A paraphrase focuses on one main idea or concept within a larger work. Choose a quote that directly supports your argument. For example, you might choose statistical data contained within an article or an expert's opinion about the issue you're writing about. the quote by identifying the main ideas and supporting details. Identify what the author is saying, such as their main point or argument. Then, note how they support those ideas. What does this quote mean overall?  Be detailed in your notes. This will help you understand the quote, plus you can condense your notes into a paraphrase. For example, you might choose this quote: "Despite expectations, installing metered ramps did not decrease the congestion levels on the highway. Travel times from downtown to the nearest suburb averaged 40 minutes before meters were added to the ramps. After installation, travel times averaged 38 minutes, a difference which is not significant." In this quote, the author's main idea is that metered ramps did not solve congestion issues on this highway, and their supporting details are statistics specifying the similar travel times before and after the installation. If you can express the same ideas in different words, it’s a good idea to use a paraphrase when including it in your paper. This ensures more of your paper is in your own words. Plus, you don’t want to include too many quotes.  If you’re citing data, facts or statistics, paraphrasing is your best option. You can use paraphrasing to avoid having too many direct quotes in your paper. A paraphrase condenses the ideas in a quote and changes the original language....

The meat should be tender if you insert a fork into the thickest part of the roast and you should be able to shred the meat a little if you drag the fork tines across the meat. If the roast isn't tender enough, cook it for another 30 minutes and check it again. Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook the meat on low so the pork heats back up. This also gives the flavors a chance to develop, so if you have time, you could slow cook the meat for up to 3 hours. If you'd like to make sandwiches, toast hamburger buns and set them out with the barbecued pork. You can also serve barbecued beans, corn on the cob, or coleslaw with the meal. Refrigerate leftover pork in an airtight container for up to 3 or 4 days.

TL;DR in English: Cover and cook the roast on low for 6 to 8 hours. Slow cook the barbecued pork for 1 hour on low. Serve the barbecued pork.

The easiest and most reversible way to give your guitar a little flair without damaging the instrument itself, or spending a lot of money is to get a new pick guard with interesting colors, or to get a plain pick guard and decorate it with markers or paint.  On electric guitars, most pick guards can be removed with a small Phillips-head screwdriver, after removing the strings. Replacing it is as easy as placing it and replacing the screws. Pick guards are available at any guitar shop or music store. Acrylic paint and permanent markers are the simplest and best ways of decorating pick guards, and the bodies of guitars. There's more info about painting your guitar in the next section. Jerry Garcia used to stick a rose in between the strings on the headstock of his guitar, and a variety of little decorations hanging from the headstock or the tailpiece of your guitar can look pretty cool.  Try getting a few scarves or attractive looking scraps of fabric and wrapping them under the strings at the headstock, and knotting them tightly. Wrap some strings between the tailpiece and the strap of your guitar to keep it held in place. Another super-easy and effective way of decorating your guitar is to use a variety of stickers placed around the body of both electric and acoustic guitars. While some people think these negatively affect the tone woods and the resonance of the guitar, the difference is difficult to notice, and not significant on cheaper guitars anyway. All of the following make great guitar decorations:  Band stickers Bumper stickers Logos Stickers along the fretboard Leather strap with a psychedelic mandala? Lightening bolt? Bandolier of bullets? A cool strap can do just as much for your general stage presence and vibe as a cool decorated guitar. Shop around online for cool options, or consider making your own.  Adjust strap to an appropriate rock and roll height. That means low, if you're in a punk band, and nipple-high if you're in an indie band. Apply buttons of your favorite bands to the strap. This is...

Pick a store that you know well in order to easily locate your particular item. Or, go to a store outside of your neighborhood in order to avoid running into people you know. Try going to a specialty sex-shop. The best part of buying from these types of locations is that you can easily play it off like you are buying a joke gift for a friend, or a party favor for a bachelorette party. This could also reduce your sense that someone may be judging you negatively by your purchase. Going with a friend or partner can help deflect some of your embarrassment by serving as a social buffer or even a distraction for your embarrassment.   Ask your partner to join you on your trip to the store. Tell a friend you need moral support in buying your embarrassing item. Buying just the personal item can feel like it is drawing attention to yourself and may lead to increased feelings of embarrassment. Instead, buy multiple items in order to camouflage your purchase. Get a bag of chips, gum, or soda to lessen the embarrassment. The more items the better. Using coping strategies when buying sex-related items, such as going to a checkout stand with a similar person to yourself (the same gender and around the same age as you), can reduce embarrassment. This is a very common coping resource for avoiding embarrassment in purchasing personal products. It can be very embarrassing to checkout sexual items with a different sex or someone with a huge age difference. If you can't find someone like you, try to find the person that is the best fit or that you think will produce the least amount of embarrassment for you. This helps to draw less attention to yourself, and reduces the likelihood of engaging the cashier in small talk in order to avoid an awkward moment.  Be polite, but avoid too much eye contact or small-talk with the cashier. Look at a magazine in the checkout stand. Text or be on the phone while waiting for checkout. This may reduce the feeling that someone is watching you or judging your purchase. Studies have shown that...

If you see just 1 stink bug, it may indicate a larger issue. Look around for warm pockets near heating vents or sunny spots along your walls and windows. Keep your eyes peeled for their brown, gray, or green bodies that may blend into the surrounding area. If you have an outdoor infestation, look on the underside of leaves for eggs and keep an eye out for discolored leaves.  If you haven’t crushed any stink bugs but start to notice a cilantro-like odor in your home, chances are you have an infestation. Suck the stink bugs up using a vacuum cleaner with a bag. For stink bugs sitting on walls or in crevices, use a small vacuum attachment to capture them. Discard the bag immediately to keep the smell out of your home.   Alternatively, you can wrap a stocking around the vacuum attachment tube to catch the bugs before they reach the bag or filter. Secure the stocking with a rubber band and push it inside the tube. Once you’ve sucked up the bugs, pull out the stocking, tie off the end, and dispose of it immediately. Refrain from using a bagless vacuum as it may smell foul for several weeks. Make sure you use a vacuum cleaner with a disposable bag. Once you spot stink bugs on your plants, use a high-pressure jet setting on a garden hose attachment to detach them from the leaves. Once you’ve forced them away, keep monitoring the plants in your garden to see if the stink bugs reappear. The water pressure won’t necessarily kill them off, but this is a good tactic to use to protect your plants at a moment’s notice. Instead of spraying a solution onto the bugs, mix up a solution of 4 cups (950 mL) of hot water with 3⁄4 cup (180 mL) of mild dish soap in a bucket. Hold this beneath the climbing stink bugs and flick them down into the solution using a gloved hand. After a few hours, drain out the water, bag up the dead bugs, and dispose of them immediately.  The soap will make it difficult for the insects to move, and they will ultimately drown in the water. As far as stink bug elimination methods go, this is probably the...

TL;DR in English: Look around to find where the stink bugs are located. Vacuum up a stink bug to kill and remove it. Knock stink bugs off plants by spraying them with a garden hose. Flick the stink bugs into a bucket of soapy water to catch and kill them. Crush a stink bug with a disposable item if you find it outside.

. You know all that chaos in your head? The running thoughts, the worries, the pointless mental wanderings? Meditation, even just 10 to 15 minutes a day, can help clear your mind and focus your energy. And it's 15 minutes to relax! Why not give it a shot? There are even guided meditations apps like Timer and Headspace you can use to get you going.  It'll be so much easier to budget your time when your head is clear and you've destressed .

Alright, not a meditation fan? Then try yoga. Not only will you burn 5 calories a minute, but you'll get that same zen feel like you would in meditation. That mental sigh of relief or breath of fresh air -- now that's life improvement! Food is meant to be enjoyed, not scarfed down on the way to something else. Taste it. Relish it. Enjoy it. When you eat slower, you get more out of your meal and you actually eat less. Your body has the time to register what you're putting into it and appreciate it.

Pornos very often take their cues from existing movies, either twisting the title with double entendres, or simply going for the raunchy pun. For example, in Zack and Miri Make a Porno, they decided to make a spoof of Star Wars, called Star Whores. What trendy piece of culture can you take from and add to?  Other examples of pornified titles might include Jack Reach-around, Breast of Memphis, Skyball 0069, or The Night Night Saga: Going Down. Though classy titles like "Girls with Guns" also get the message across just as well. Your concept does not necessarily need to be a spoof. You may decide on a single-scene vignette that focuses on an intimate moment with just one or two actors, or a more ambitious movie with an original plot, such as the classic Deep Throat. Now that you've got your concept, what are you gonna need to bring it to fruition? What obstacles might you be able to predict popping up? Things to consider in your initial planning include:   Market. Determine if your movie will be released as a film, DVD, or sold to an online porn distributor.      Length of film. Depending on the concept and your market, your movie may be just 5 to 10 minutes, or a full-length movie.  Number of actors. This will be directly related to the length of the film. While a full-length traditional movie might be made with a very small ensemble—even one or two actors, a porno needs to keep things fresh from scene to scene  Props and set. If your movie is about aliens from outer space, you're gonna need to stockpile the green makeup and aluminum foil. What does your concept require? Ideally, you have investors.

Go over spelling and definition for each word. Be very systematic about this process so you cover all of your words in a timely fashion. Do not try to cram all of your studying in the night before the spelling bee! Give yourself plenty of time! Remember, though, since you don't have much time, don't focus too much on definitions! Learning roots, prefixes, and suffixes will help you understand word construction and origin much better. Word spelling will make much more sense rather than being "magic." See a chart of common roots, prefixes and suffixes at http://www.prefixsuffix.com/rootchart.php.  Roots. When looking at your words of the day, pay attention to the roots--where the word is derived from. In your dictionary, you can see the root in the etymology section of the word entry. This will usually follow the pronunciation and part of speech, but come before the definition. Many of the words we use have Latin roots, many of the words used in science and philosophy come to us from Greek, and there are others from French, Spanish, German and more. Prefixes. A prefix is a word, letter, or number attached to the beginning of a word that serves to create a derivative word. For instance: "inter" is a prefix that means between, and "rupt" is from a Latin root meaning "to break." Suffixes. A suffix is added at the end of a word to create a derivative word. For instance, "able" is a suffix meaning "capable of or tending to" that is attached to the end of words. To demonstrate, let's take the Latin "amicus" which means friend. Adding a suffix of "able" will create the new word, "amicable. The new word means "having a spirit of friendliness." Sound your words out. For instance, "a-mic-a-ble." You now know the root "amicus" and the suffix "able," so this should be easier. But remember, sounding out words won't work all the time. Some words with silent vowels or certain root words will be very challenging. Associating the word with the definition is very important to this process. When encountering a word you don't know...

TL;DR in English: Tackle your word list one section at a time, based on your plan. Learn your roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Learn to spell in syllables. Write down each word five to ten times (depending on how much it challenges you), and also write down the definition at least once. Hear words and say words. Spell out the word with your fingers in the air. Find people to help you. Test yourself frequently. Examine your results. Target your weaknesses and adjust your word list as you progress. Rest and relax the night before the spelling bee.

The crown is the dial on either the left or right side of the watch face. Pinch the crown in between your fingers and pull it out until it clicks once. If you hear more than 1 click, push the crown back in and pull it out slowly. If your watch doesn't display the date, then the crown will only pull out once to set the time. You may skip this step. Rotate the crown clockwise or counterclockwise depending on your watch model. Keep turning it until the correct date is in the window on your watch face. If you only needed to change the date, push the crown all the way in to set it. Avoid adjusting the date on your watch between 11 PM and 5 AM since that's when it advances to the next day. If you have a watch that displays the day/date, pull the crown until it clicks twice. If your watch doesn't have that display, simply pull the crown until it doesn't go any further. Turn the crown clockwise or counterclockwise depending on the watch model you're using. Spin the hands for 2 full rotations around the watch face to move forward by 24 hours. Keep turning the crown until you reach the correct day of the week. Don't set the day of the week between 11 PM and 5 AM since this is when the watch will advance it. Once you have the day of the week and date set, turn the crown until the hands point at the correct time. Get as close as you can to the right time so your watch is accurate within a minute or two. The hands won't start moving on their own until you press the crown back in. Once you've made all of your adjustments, press the crown all the way in so it starts again. Check the watch periodically throughout the day to make sure it maintains the correct time. If the watch keeps falling behind, you may need to replace the battery.

One way to treat the pain associated with post-traumatic arthritis is to purchase over-the-counter painkillers from your local drugstore or pharmacy. One option to try is Acetaminophen (Tylenol). Follow the dosing instructions on the bottle, which is normally 500–1000mg every four to six hours as needed. Another option is an NSAID such as Ibuprofen (Advil). Again, follow the dosing instructions on the bottle, which is normally 400–600mg every four to six hours as needed, with a total dose for 24 hours to be no more than 4000 mg. Corticosteroids work to reduce pain locally (when they are injected into the affected joint) by diminishing inflammation and swelling in the area. Ask your doctor to try a corticosteroid injection and see if it helps you. The improvement in pain will normally last for a few months, at which point you may need another injection. Having a few corticosteroid injections is okay, especially if you are finding them helpful with pain relief; however, if you find them minimally helpful and if it requires several to make a difference, your doctor will likely recommend another mode of treatment. There is a limit to the number of cortisone injections given in one area, and the side effects include atrophy of the tissue, discoloration and infection. Hyaluronic acid is a type of synthetic joint fluid (kind of like an artificial synovial fluid, which is the fluid that naturally lubricates your joints). Injecting hyaluronic acid into the joint affected by post-traumatic arthritis can help to alleviate the pain as well as to lubricate and smooth out the motion of your joint. Speak to your doctor if you are interested in receiving this treatment. When lifestyle modifications and medical treatments are no longer sufficient to help you manage your joint pain from post-traumatic arthritis, it is likely time to consider surgery. Surgery is generally reserved as a last resort; however, in many cases, it can be very successful at alleviating your pain.

TL;DR in English: Opt for over-the-counter painkillers. Ask your doctor for a corticosteroid injection. Inquire about hyaluronic acid. Consider surgery as a last resort.

Your doctor will prescribe a medication to help you pass the tapeworm. Carefully follow your doctor's instructions for how to take your medication. The most common medications prescribed to treat a tapeworm infection include:  Praziquantel (Biltricide). This medication works by killing certain worms. Do not take this medication if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, allergic to any ingredient in the medication, have a worm infection in your eye, or if you are on rifampin.  Albendazole (Albenza). This medication prevents newly hatched worms from growing in your body. It treats specific types of tapeworm infections, including those you get from eating pork and from being around infected dogs.  Nitazoxanide (Alinia). This medication is mainly used to treat parasites that you pick up from swimming in a lake or spending time in other moist places. If you have to pass a large tapeworm, it is likely that you will have some pain and cramping. This is normal, but make sure that you call your doctor if the pain becomes severe. To ensure that you are tapeworm free, your doctor will need to check your stools again one month following your treatment and then again three months after your treatment. Make sure that you keep this appointment even if you are feeling fine.

TL;DR in English: Take medication to help pass the tapeworm. Expect some pain and cramping. See your doctor for a follow-up visit.

Try not to restrict yourself from being in coffee shops or smelling cups of coffee. Sometimes the smell of a fresh cup can be comforting enough, even if it isn’t for you. Coffee can have social qualities, and you may miss meeting up with friends for a chat at a coffee shop. You should still allow yourself the opportunity to meet up with friends at the local java spot, but substitute your regular coffee order with an herbal tea or hot water. This way, you still get the social benefits of talking over a hot beverage without indulging in coffee. Another element of coffee you may miss is the ritual of preparing your first cup in the morning. Create a ritual out of making your replacement beverage so it feels as important and essential as your cup of coffee. Over time, you may end up enjoying your replacement beverage more because you are able to prepare it and make it just the way you like it. If your replacement beverage is tea, you may want to read up on how to brew tea properly. You can also invest in a brewing basket, which you can place in a teapot or a travel mug to steep loose tea leaves properly. Many people who  permanently report back with feelings of calm, alertness, and contentment. Once you get through the withdrawal symptoms, you may have very few cravings for coffee and feel like you could give it up completely.  You may decide to cut back more on coffee but still indulge in it occasionally. This may mean having tea in the mornings and then one cup of coffee in the afternoon, or having only tea one day and then one cup of coffee the following day. Another option is to cycle through your coffee habit, where you have coffee for a month and then give it up for one month. Then, the following month, you may gradually drink more coffee to build up your tolerance. Over time, your body gets used to caffeine and can become immune to the effects of caffeine, especially if you tend to drink coffee on a consistent basis. Cycling through your coffee habit can allow your body to maintain a balance and feel the...

Use a brush to clean your cubic zirconia.

Mix warm water with mild dish detergent. Scrub your cubic zirconia with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Rinse your cubic zirconia completely. Pat dry your cubic zirconia with a soft cloth.

If there are a few stains that won’t come off with regular cleaning, then you can try treating them with nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol. Rub the stain with a cloth that has been dipped in rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover. Always test the fabric before applying to stains to ensure that it does not leave a mark. In order to do this, you will need to apply baking soda to the stain and let it sit over night. The baking soda will absorb any grease from the leather. The next day, simply wipe the surface with a clean cloth. To do this, wipe off any loose dirt or dust, then wet your shoes using a damp cloth. Next, dab a small amount of toothpaste onto your shoes and rub in using your fingers. Pay close attention to any stains or scuff marks.  Scrub any tough stains with an old toothbrush. Then, wipe away the toothpaste using a damp cloth. Let the shoes dry in a warm spot. Combine lemon juice with cream of tartar. Mix together, adjusting the amounts, until a paste is formed. Rub the mixture onto the stain and let sit for approximately half an hour. Then, remove the mixture with a sponge and wipe with a clean cloth.

TL;DR in English: Remove stains with nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol. Remove grease stains with baking soda. Use toothpaste to clean leather shoes. Make a lemon juice and cream of tartar cleaner.

A stick of gum after a meal encourages the production of saliva in the mouth, which fights bad breath. Look for gum with natural essential oils. Spearmint, peppermint and cinnamon oils have been shown to tackle foul-smelling bacteria in the mouth. This might be tough to do, but chewing coffee beans and then spitting them out has been known to temper garlic breath. Rubbing coffee beans on your hands (and then washing them) can also help to remove the smell of onion and garlic from your skin. If other remedies for onion and garlic breath don't seem to work, cutting down on your use of them in meals will prevent bad breath. If you eat garlic for its potential health benefits, you may want to substitute an odorless garlic supplement for raw garlic. Be aware that supplements come in many forms, range significantly in quality, and research into their health benefits and side-effects is ongoing.

TL;DR in English: Chew gum. Chew coffee beans. Reduce your consumption of raw and cooked onion/garlic.

Abrasive cleaners can damage cubic zirconia. All you need is some mild dish detergent from your kitchen and a bit of warm water. The precise ratio of detergent and water for a routine cleaning does not have to be exact, but strive for about one part detergent to two parts water. You can dunk the jewelry briefly to get it wet. You can also simply apply your water/detergent mixture to your toothbrush. Gently scrub down your cubic zirconia with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove dirt and debris and achieve a healthy shine. If you don't have a spare toothbrush on hand, cubic zirconia can also be cleaned with a soft cosmetic brush. A brush used for eye shadow, for example, would work well. It's important not to leave any soap residue on cubic zirconia. After washing your cubic zirconia, rinse it under the faucet until the water runs clean. Letting cubic zirconia air dry can cause damage. Use a clean cloth to gently dab the zirconia dry. Keep dabbing until there is no moisture left on the jewelry.

Start with the ball a foot or so in front of you, slightly to your right. Stay up on the balls of your feet throughout. Spring off your left foot as you're landing, transferring weight to the right foot. Land your right foot 1-2 feet to the right of the ball. Change speed after your touch to blow by the defender.

Make 4 chain stitches. Next, make a slip stitch into the first chain to form a circle. Use a size I/9 or 5.5mm crochet hook and medium worsted weight yarn. Start off with 2 chain stitches. Next, do 3 double crochet stitches in each space. Close your round with a slip stitch. You will end up with 12 stitches total. Mark the end of your round with a stitch marker. If you don't have one, you can use a safety pin or even a piece of yarn in a contrasting color. Start off with 2 chain stitches. Do 2 double crochet stitches in the first stitch. Follow up with 1 double crochet. Repeat the last 3 stitches (2 double crochets in 1 stitch, followed by 1 double crochet) until you reach the end of the round. You should have a total of 18 stitches. Do not turn your project. You might want to move your stitch marker to the end of your round, however. Start with 2 chain stitches. Then, do 2 double crochets in the same stitch. Follow up with 2 double crochets over the next 2 stitches. Repeat the last 4 stitches (2 double crochets in 1 stitch, 2 double crochets over the next 2 stitches) until you reach the end of the round. Close the round off with a slip stitch. You'll end up with 24 stitches. Remember to move your stitch marker, if you are using one. Start each row with 2 chain stitches and 2 double crochets in the first stitch. Do x-number of stitches, then repeat (2 double crochets in one stitch, followed by x-number of double crochets) until you reach the end of the row. Close each round off with a slip stitch. How many stitches you do for "x" depends on what round you are on. The number "x" increases with each round. For example:  Round 5: 2 double crochet in 1 stitch, 3 double crochets over the next 3 stitches. 30 stitches total. Round 6: 2 double crochet in 1 stitch, 4 double crochets over the next 4 stitches. 36 stitches total. Round 7: 2 double crochet in 1 stitch, 5 double crochets over the next 5 stitches. 42 stitches total. Round 8: 2 double crochet in 1 stitch, 6 double crochets over the next 6 stitches. 48...

One of the simplest ways to store gift bags in your closet is to store them in larger gift bags. Fold each bag up, place them inside your larger bags, and hang them by their rope handles on a hanger. Use different colored storage bags to separate your gift bags based on occasion. For example, organize birthday bags in orange-colored bags and Christmas bags in green-colored bags. You can cheap clip hangers (typically reserved for clothes) to hang your gift bags. Each one can hold anywhere from 3 to 10 bags, depending on their size. Stick colored tape around the top of the hangers to separate different types of bags. An expandable file folder is a great storage solution for your bags since it's so small to store! However, if your file folder starts bulging, you might want to separate them into multiple colored folders or use a different method. Wired file organizers are cheap and easily transported. They come in plenty of different shapes and sizes, giving you plenty of flexibility in terms of how and where to store your gift bags. Wired file organizers come in both vertical and horizontal designs. Choose one based on your available space.

If this is the first time performing the move, practice without the ball moving or at a very slow jog. If jogging, take a light touch so that the ball is rolling forward as you approach it. You want to keep the ball close to you throughout the move. While you can practice the first few standing still, you should work on both still and moving scissors to be effective in a game. You never want to come down completely on your feet with a heavy landing. You need to be able to spring in either direction in an instant. As you come around the ball, shift your weight towards the right. This both fakes out the defender and allows you to land on the right foot, which you push off of to go left. You need room to get your left foot around the ball and touch it away from your defender. Make sure you're landing on the balls of your feet, not your heels, so you can spring up quickly. As you land, begin bringing your left foot to the right side of the ball. A change of speed is essential to pull off any move, and the scissors is no different. Use your left-footed touch to burst into a quick sprint, blowing by your defender before they realize the fake.

Plot the x-intercepts on the coordinate plane. Find the axis of symmetry. Find the vertex of the parabola. Determine the direction of the parabola. Draw the parabola with a solid or dotted line. Shade the graph.

The first step in doing something new is to come up with some fresh ideas. Start by generating a list of things you’ve always wanted to do. Remember that there are no wrong answers when you’re brainstorming! Aim for at least five items on your list.  Perhaps you’ve always wanted to skydive, bungee jump, or go white water rafting. Maybe you’ve always wanted to write a book, perform at an open mic, or grow your own garden. Maybe you’ve always wanted to work as a barista, make a short film, or try a vegan diet. Another way to generate some new ideas is to make a list of things you’d like to learn. Learning new things is a great way to meet people, have fun, and feel a sense of fulfillment. Aim to come up with at least five things you’d like to learn.  Perhaps you’d like to learn a new language, such as Spanish, Italian, or Chinese. Perhaps you’d like to learn a new creative skill, such as photography, pottery, or landscape painting. Perhaps you’d like to learn how to cook, do yoga, or write poetry. Finally, you can add to this ongoing list of new things by listing places (or things) that you’ve always wanted to see. Traveling to a new place (even someplace that is just around the corner) can open your eyes to new possibilities.  Maybe you have always wanted to visit the Louvre in Paris and see the Mona Lisa. Maybe you have always wanted to climb a mountain in the Alps. Maybe there is a restaurant in your city that you’ve always wanted to try. You don’t need to think too hard about it. Simply select the item from these lists that jumps out at you, makes your heart race, and gets you a little excited. This is the first new thing you should do. Even if it is seems big and far away, with a little planning, you can do it. Don't get caught up in choosing something. Just pick an idea that excites you!

Most of your body's water loss happens through perspiration. Cover as much skin as possible with loose, light-weight clothing. This will trap the sweat against your skin, slowing evaporation and therefore water loss. For this reason, it's probably best to go with a cotton undershirt rather than a wicking fabric. Cover it all with a light windbreaker.  Wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and gloves. Pack wool or fleece clothing. If an emergency occurs, you may be traveling at night, when it can get quite cold. Light-colored clothing reflects more heat, but dark clothing usually provides better protection from UV light, which causes sunburn. If possible, find white clothing that's labeled with a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of 30+. Whenever you enter a desert, bring more water than you expect. While walking in the sunshine and 40ºC (104ºF) heat, the average person loses 900 mL (30 oz) of sweat every hour. In an emergency situation, you'll be thankful for any water you carried.  Divide the water you're carrying among several containers. This minimizes the amount of water you can lose to one leak.  Store the excess in a cool spot in your vehicle, away from direct sunlight. Energy bars, pemmican, jerky, and trail mix are popular choices. Do your research, experiment beforehand, and be prepared. When wheeled vehicles break down, it's just your two legs and the path to the next town, and you don't want to be carrying anything nonessential.  Include some foods with salt and potassium, which are lost in sweat. These will help you avoid heat exhaustion and retain more water. However, if you are dehydrated, excess salt can make you feel worse. Food is not a priority in a desert emergency. If you are out of water, only eat the minimum required to function. Here are the bare essentials for a survival kit:  Sturdy emergency blankets Cords or rope Water purification tablets First aid kit Fire starters Powerful flashlight or headlamp. LEDs last longest. Knife Compass Signal mirror Goggles and a dust mask or bandana...

An x-intercept is a point where the parabola crosses the x-axis. The two roots you found are the x-intercepts. For example, if the inequality is x2+4x−21<0{\displaystyle x^{2}+4x-21<0}, then the x-intercepts are x>−7{\displaystyle x>-7} and x<3{\displaystyle x<3}, since these are the roots you found when using the quadratic formula or factoring. The axis of symmetry is the line that cuts the parabola in half. To find the axis of symmetry, use the formula x=−b2a{\displaystyle x={\frac {-b}{2a}}}, where a{\displaystyle a} and b{\displaystyle b} correspond to the terms in the original quadratic inequality. For example, for the inequality x2+4x−21<0{\displaystyle x^{2}+4x-21<0}, you will first calculate x=−42(1){\displaystyle x={\frac {-4}{2(1)}}}:x=−42{\displaystyle x={\frac {-4}{2}}}x=−2{\displaystyle x=-2}. So, the axis of symmetry is the line x=−2{\displaystyle x=-2} The vertex is the high or low point of the parabola. To find the vertex, first change the original inequality into an equation equal to y{\displaystyle y}. Then plug the x{\displaystyle x} value you found for the axis of symmetry into the equation. For example, if the axis of symmetry is x=−2{\displaystyle x=-2}, plug -2 into the equation and solve:y=(−2)2+4(−2)+−21{\displaystyle y=(-2)^{2}+4(-2)+-21}y=4−8−21{\displaystyle y=4-8-21}y=4−8−21{\displaystyle y=4-8-21}So, the vertex of the parabola is at the point (−2,−25){\displaystyle (-2,-25)}. To know the direction of the parabola, look at the a{\displaystyle a} term of the inequality in standard form. If the a{\displaystyle a} term is positive, the parabola will “right-side up,” meaning it opens towards the top. If the a{\displaystyle a} term is negative, the parabola will be “upside down,” meaning it opens towards the bottom. Since the a{\displaystyle a} term in the inequality x2+4x−21<0{\displaystyle x^{2}+4x-21<0} is positive, the parabola will be right-side up. If the inequality is greater than or equal to (≥{\displaystyle \geq }) or less than or equal to (≤{\displaystyle \leq }), draw the...

The top number of your blood pressure reading is your systolic blood pressure (pressure when your heart beats). The bottom number is your diastolic blood pressure (pressure in between beats). As such, practices aimed at lowering your systolic blood pressure will usually lower your diastolic blood pressure, as well. This allows you to determine whether your diet and lifestyle habits are effective at lowering blood pressure, and can be done using a blood pressure cuff at home, at the pharmacy, or at your doctor’s office. High diastolic blood pressure readings come in at 90 mmHg or higher, while those at risk for high blood pressure have diastolic blood pressure readings between 80 and 89 mmHg. The normal diastolic blood pressure range is between 70 and 80 mmHg, though it may be lower if you are young or if you exercise very often.  If you've been diagnosed with high blood pressure--either overall high blood pressure or high diastolic blood pressure only--start by checking your blood pressure twice a day for a week (once in the morning and once in the evening). Afterward, switch to two or three times a week. Once your blood pressure is under control, you can ease back to once or twice a month.  Keep in mind that it is possible to have a diastolic blood pressure that is too low. If you have an abnormally low diastolic blood pressure, it means that your heart is no longer pumping enough blood to reach all your vital organs. This may be due to strenuous exercise, but also to more serious conditions, such as anorexia nervosa. As a result, you may inadvertently increase your stroke and heart attack risk. Even if you manage to track and lower your diastolic blood pressure at home, it’s still a good idea to consult with your doctor or other healthcare provider about your heart health. Together, you and your doctor can work out a treatment plan that can improve and maintain your health with regards to blood pressure concerns.  Your doctor will be able to guide you on ways to manage your overall heart health while...

It can seem really easy to get pregnant, but that’s often not the case. To conceive, live, healthy sperm need to be inside your body when a healthy egg is released. Frequent sex ensures you have sperm in your body if an egg is released. Sperm can live inside your body for up to 5 days, so have sex at least once every 5 days. It’s normal to experience vaginal dryness while you’re breastfeeding, so you may not get very wet when you’re aroused. This can make sex uncomfortable. Apply a lubricant prior to having sex to relieve your dryness.  Use a water-based or silicone-based lubricant, depending on your preferences. Make sure your lubricant doesn’t contain spermicide, which will prevent pregnancy. if you do. You’re likely not smoking right now because the nicotine can pass to your baby through your breast milk. If you are still smoking, it’s best to quit while you’re trying to conceive. Smoking lowers your levels of progesterone, which your body needs to prepare your uterus. Don’t smoke if you want to get pregnant.  Quitting is really hard, but you can do it. Try attending a support group to help you quit. Additionally, replace smoking with another behavior, like chewing gum. You likely won’t be able to use nicotine replacement products while you’re breastfeeding.

Depending on the type of paint you used for your countertop, curing time could take anywhere from a couple hours to several days or even longer than a week. During this time, it's important that you don't put anything heavy on the counter, don't get it wet, don't have food near or on it, and avoid disturbing it as much as possible.  If you don't give the paint time to cure, it could smudge, get dented or marked, or not adhere properly to the surface. Check the paint can for the manufacturer's instructions regarding curing time for the paint you used. Whenever your cutting or chopping, always use a cutting board to protect the paint and the counter surface. This will prevent scratches, chipping paint, and other dings and marks. To protect your knives and keep them sharper for longer, use wood cutting boards instead of plastic, bamboo, or glass. Heat mats will protect both the paint and the laminate from damage. Never put a hot pot or item directly on the counter, and always place a trivet or heat mat on the counter first. The same applies in the bathroom, and you should never put hot styling tools directly on the painted counter. Hot items can burn or melt the paint, leave scorch marks on the laminate, warp the counter, and separate components within the Formica. Use sponges and cloths, and clean the counter with liquid cleaners and soaps when necessary. Avoid scrubbing pads and harsh powder cleansers that could strip the paint from the surface.
