Although doctors used to recommend a firm mattress for bad backs, research suggests that medium-firm mattresses are best. If your mattress is too soft, place a sheet of plywood between your mattress and box spring or place your mattress directly on the floor. Medium-firm mattresses are especially beneficial if your hips are wider than your waist. However, opt for a firmer mattress if your hips and waist are equal in width. A foam mattress topper can add support to your back and keep your spine aligned. If you have a foam topper hanging around, place it on top of your bed so your back can remain in a neutral position. Although sleeping on your back may seem counterintuitive, it is the best way to reduce pain.  Sleeping on your back keeps your head, neck, and spine in a neutral position. Try this position first to relieve pressure on your back.  Sleeping on your back may induce snoring because it can constrict the airways.  Resting on your back can also induce sleep apnea—if you've struggled with apnea in the past, you may want to choose a different position. Lying on your side, with your torso and legs approximately aligned, can ward off back and neck pain simultaneously while elongating your spine. Because it keeps your airways open, it can also prevent snoring. Choose this position if your sore neck does not find relief from sleeping on your back. Side-sleeping is also useful for relieving hip pain. Avoid curving your back as much as possible to prevent additional pain. If you sleep on your back, place one pillow at the base of your back and one underneath your knees. For side sleepers, place a pillow between your knees to keep your hips aligned. This will help your body maintain your spine's natural curve, preventing muscle or tissue aggravation. Sleeping in the fetal position, with your torso hunched and knees bent, is the most common sleeping position. It can, however, cause a sore back if you have arthritis or sore joints. If you usually sleep in the fetal position, place a pillow in between your knees...

TL;DR in English: Use a medium-firm mattress to reduce pressure on your back. Try a mattress topper to keep your back in a neutral position. Sleep on your back to alleviate strain on your spine. Sleep on your side if lying on your back doesn’t work. Keep your head, neck, spine, and hips aligned. Use pillows as support if you sleep in the fetal position. Avoid sleeping on your stomach. Use a horseshoe-shaped pillow while sleeping upright.

Spinach is extremely cold-hardy and fares well in these mild to cold climate zones. This cold-weather crop prefers temperatures between 35 and 75℉ (1 and 23°C). Savoyed varieties are characterized by their dark green crinkly leaves. They are best for planting in the fall because they become especially crisp in cold weather. Smooth-leafed spinach grows upright and produces leaves lighter in color than those produced by savoy spinach. It grows quickly and easily and is the perfect addition to any summer salad.

Prepare two sponge baking pans measuring 20cm round. Grease the sides and line the base with baking/parchment paper. Cover a wire baking rack with parchment paper. Add the butter, vanilla extract and sugar to the mixing bowl. Beat until the mixture becomes fluffy and light. Beat them into the mixture. Then beat in the milk. Stir in each batch of flour thoroughly. Divide the batter evenly. Bake for 30 minutes. Tip the two halves out onto the wire rack to cool. Turn them over to have the top side facing upward before leaving to cool. Spread the jam over the top of one half once cooled. Place the other half onto the jam covering to sandwich the two together. If you like, whipped cream can also be piped on top of the jam. If wished, you can dust with icing sugar to complete the look. Cut into slices for serving.

Beetles have wings, but they are covered by 2 hard wing coverings. This is what gives a beetle its distinctive hard-shelled look. The hardened wing coverings on a beetle’s back are also the reason why a beetle will make a crunching sound if you accidentally step on one. If the insect is a beetle, its wings should not be visible unless the coverings are lifted up and the wings are extended. Beetles have sharp mandibles (chewing mouthparts) so they can consume other insects, plant matter, fungus, and decaying plants and animals. Look at the underside of the insect’s mouth to see if they have sharp-looking mouthparts. If the insect has a long, straw-like protrusion, then it is not a beetle. Beetles have 6 legs distributed between their front and back body segments. When they are in their larval stage, the legs are all on the front of a beetle’s body. Otherwise, the legs are spread between the front and back  segments. Count the insect’s legs and check their location to determine if it is a beetle. If the insect has 4 legs, 8 legs, or more, then it is not a beetle.

TL;DR in English: Look for 2 hard wing coverings on the insect’s back. Check for chewing mouth parts on the underside of its head. See if the insect has 6 legs.

Since you are drawing a cartoon girl, keep the face narrow and feminine During this phase, keep in mind the proportions of a face. For example, a face is generally five eyes wide. That being said, you can also manipulate proportions to reflect the girl's character traits. If the character is innocent, this can be reflected in giving her large eyes. Clothes are another opportunity to show character traits, occupation, and time period. For example, an edgy, 21st-century  teen isn't going to wear the attire of a 15th-century monk.  To trace the outline make sure to use a pen that will not smear while the sketch is being erased or the drawing colored.  Keep in mind, there is more visual interest if colored  Try to limit your color pallet in order to not give the viewer a headache. If there are too many highly saturated colors, the viewer will not know where to look and may think your art is tacky.

If you are buying a bow brand new, consider your warranty options. Bows are expensive and you don't want to have to pay to replace yours if it turns out to be defective in some way. These warranties usually will not cover replacement of the hair. These warranties usually will not cover replacement of the hair. These warranties

Compare prices. Compare warranties. Purchase the best bow you can afford.

Synthetic fabrics such as polyester, lycra, and spandex can look tacky and unnatural. Opt instead for high quality fabrics, like silk, wool, or cotton. Good quality fabrics may cost more, but they will usually last longer and make a better investment overall.  Read the care labels on an article of clothing before buying it to see what you will have to do to take care of it. If you can't invest in regular dry cleaning, be sure to forgo items that say "dry clean only" on the tag. Hand wash and air dry delicate materials like wool, which may sustain damage in the washer and shrink in the dryer. Flashy, bright colors may be bold, but they do not convey a classy image. Go for classic, neutral colors like black, white, beige, or navy blue. Sticking with these colors will make it easy to mix and match your clothing without the risk of looking gaudy. Clothing that is form-fitting without being tight will fit your body best and make you look put-together. Your sweaters, blazers, shirts, and blouses should follow the curve of your waist, while pants should fall about .5 inches (1.3 cm) off the ground at the back. Bring your clothing to a tailor to have the necessary adjustments made. Most alterations will cost between $10-15. Wrinkles will make you look unkempt and work against your classic look. Always take the time to make sure your clothes are wrinkle-free before going out. Carefully use a steamer or clothes iron to remove wrinkles. Aim for subtle, classic jewelry like small silver or gold hoop earrings, a pearl necklace, pearl or diamond stud earrings, a delicate pendant necklace, a tennis bracelet, or an elegant watch. Avoid wearing too many rings, and only wear them on your middle or ring fingers. Dress up your classic wardrobe with one standout accessory, such as a colorful silk scarf or a beautiful pair of shoes. Stylish well-made shoes in neutral colors are a great investment as they will go with a variety of different outfits. You can also spice up your shoe collection with one or two pairs of "fun" shoes,...

TL;DR in English: Go for high quality fabrics. Choose neutral colors. Wear tailored clothing. Steam or iron your clothing. Wear minimal accessories.

The first step in becoming a green business is understanding your business's current carbon and ecological footprint. Just as you can calculate your personal carbon footprint (for example, at http://www.nature.org/greenliving/carboncalculator/), you can also calculate how your company is impacting the environment.  In order to estimate the carbon footprint of your company (and to see how it compares to other companies within your sector), you will be required to provide information about your business, including information about your facilities, employees, travel, and procurement to an online website.  By knowing your carbon footprint, you can set goals for becoming carbon neutral. In order to become a green business, you will need to identify which of your business practices are in need of “greening.” For example, airline flights are one of the biggest causes of carbon emissions in the world. Is it possible for you to implement more efficient travel into your company's business plan? Decide what parts of your business you can reasonably make more “green”, and set out a strategy for improvement. You should set goals in regular increments; for example, where do you want your business to be in one year? Two years? Five years? Ten years? You should look to improve more and more with each passing year. Some of the practices that will make your company more green may conflict with your previous business practices. For example, you may be able to source a raw material for a product from a cheap overseas producer; however, in order to be green, you should look to see if you could source the material locally, even if it is more expensive. Realize that you may have to adjust your business strategy and/or budget when becoming a green business.

TL;DR in English: Determine your ecological impact. Identify practices that require improvement. Set goals for improvement.

Check the prices of the different bows you've tested. Remember that the highest-priced bow is not necessarily the best one.  A fiberglass bow should cost about $20 to $50.  A Brazilwood bow should cost between $50 and $200.  A pernambuco bow could cost between several hundred and several thousand dollars, with antique French bows at the high end of the range.  A carbon fiber bow should cost about $300. A new violin bow will often come with a warranty covering defects or other problems. These warranties usually will not cover replacement of the hair.  If you are buying a bow brand new, consider your warranty options. Bows are expensive and you don't want to have to pay to replace yours if it turns out to be defective in some way. Used and vintage bows will probably not have a warranty. Taking into account quality, cost, and warranty, select the best bow you can afford. Take it home and start playing! If you are still uncertain about which bow to buy, some stores will allow you to take a bow home and try it for a few days.

Put down your first sheet of plywood at the corner of one end of the roof. Make sure it’s lying horizontally across the exposed rafters, and that the edges are flush with the edges of the end rafters. Drive a nail into each corner of the plywood to hold it in place temporarily.  Most constructions experts recommend using 7⁄16 in (1.1 cm) oriented strand board (OSB) for small-scale roofing projects.  Plywood sheathing will provide structural support for your new roof, as well as give you a flat, stable surface to attach your other roofing materials too. to fill in any gaps in the sheathing. Plywood is sold in large sheets, which means that you’ll most likely need to use multiple sheets and cut them to fit. Try to cover the remaining space using as few pieces as possible, starting from the lower portion of the roof.  It’s important to cut your plywood so that the end of each section covers half the width of the rafter it’s resting on. That way, the neighboring section will fit in easily beside it, and you’ll have a nice solid surface to nail into.  Make all your cuts with your plywood oriented the same way to ensure that the strand grain is running in a single direction. A consistent grain pattern will increase the strength of your roof sheathing. Drive nails every 6 inches (15 cm) through the face of the plywood and down into the rafter below. Work your way up the length of each rafter from the bottom edge. When you’re done, look for any loose sections of plywood that may require additional nails.  For the sake of caution, do your fastening from your ladder, reaching as far as you can safely with your hammer or roofing nailer. The combined strength of the OSB and supporting rafters will be capable of withstanding weights of up to several hundred pounds. Once you have the sheathing in place, your final task will be to mount fascia boards to cover the exposed ends of your rafters. Cut your 2 in (5.1 cm) x 4 in (10 cm) or 2 in (5.1 cm) x 6 in (15 cm) to match the length of the shed. Fasten the fascia boards by...

Push in the oven knob with one hand so you can turn it and keep holding it until you have lit the pilot light. Turn it to the left to the “ignite” symbol or the first temperature setting. Every oven model is different, but there should be either a little picture of a flame or the start of the temperature numbers right in the middle of the dial on the left hand side. This is where you want to turn the knob. Light a long match with your hand that isn’t holding the oven knob, or use a lighter with a long tip (like a BBQ lighter). Slowly move the flame towards the pilot light hole until it lights. If you only have small matches, you can light one and drop it into the hole to be safe. Another alternative is lighting a twisted up piece of paper or a wooden skewer to use as the lighter. You need to let the pilot light heat up for about 10 seconds before you adjust the temperature. The pilot light will just go out if you try to change the oven’s temperature too soon. If you accidentally let go of the knob and the pilot light goes out, then you should turn everything off and start from the beginning. Shut the oven once you are sure the pilot light is staying lit. Turn the oven knob to the temperature you want to set it at. If you have tried this process several times, and still can’t light your gas oven, there may be a problem with the pilot light and you should call a professional to come take a look at it.

Every player rolls two dice to start.  The player who rolls the highest number gets to select his or her color and take the first turn. There are four colors included with the Base Catan 3-4 player set: red, blue, white, and orange.  After the player with the highest dice roll has chosen his or her color, have everyone else choose and then begin the turns. Turns progress in a clockwise manner. The first player places one of his settlements at an intersection, where three terrain hexes meet, the adjoining hexes are the resources he will earn if the number on that hex is rolled (so choose wisely!). Next, he places one of his roads on one of the three possible places next to his first settlement. The next player then takes her turn in the same way, but must place her settlement in a different area.  Roads must always be placed where two hexes meet and border the player's settlement. A settlement cannot be placed on an intersection adjacent to another intersection occupied by a settlement. There must be enough space for at least two roads between each settlement. The last player gets to place two settlements and two roads (one for each settlement) and then going counter-clockwise, the first players place their second settlement and second road until each player has two settlements and two roads down on the board. After all players have placed both of their settlements and roads, you all get some resource cards to start. Take one resource card for each hex tile that is adjacent to each of your two settlements. For example, if one of your settlements is bordering a wheat, lumber, and sheep tile, then you get to take one wheat, one lumber and one sheep card. Do the same for your other settlement.

TL;DR in English: Determine the turn order. Place the first settlements. Place the final settlements. Get your first resource cards.

Every laptop is different; even two models that cost the same will have different hardware inside. Make sure to take a look at the specifications of each laptop you consider purchasing. The CPU, or Processor, is the piece of hardware that performs the bulk of the work in your laptop. CPU speed doesn't mean as much as it used to, thanks to multi-core CPUs that can handle much more than processors from a decade ago.  Avoid older processors like Celeron, Atom, Pentium, C-, or E-Series processors. RAM, or Memory, allows your computer to store data for multiple programs at once. In general, the more RAM you have, the better your computer will be able to multitask. 4 to 8 GB of RAM is standard for regular laptops. Netbooks will likely have less, while desktop replacements might have significantly more.  Retailers often disguise an otherwise mediocre laptop by stuffing it with RAM. Most users will not need more than 8 GB. Most laptops use integrated graphics cards, which are fine for simple games, but typically can't handle the new big releases. A dedicated card will provide more power for a higher cost and less battery life. Listed storage space does not take the operating system and bundled programs into consideration. For example, a laptop with 250 GB of storage may only have 210 GB of storage free when you purchase it. Most laptops allow you to upgrade the hard drive later, though you will need to reinstall the operating system when you do so.  SSD is becoming standard and is preferable due to increased access speed and extended battery life. As a result SSDs are more expensive than standard hard drives for less storage. SSDs are often smaller than standard drives, meaning you may need an external drive to store all of your media files. Does the laptop have enough USB ports for all of your devices? Does it have an HDMI or VGA port in case you want to connect it to your TV or a projector? If you use a lot of external devices, ports will be very important. Many laptops will leave the optical drive out in order to...

TL;DR in English: Examine the specs for each laptop you consider. Understand what the CPU does. See how much RAM comes installed, and how much RAM the laptop can support. Check the graphics. Check the storage space. Check out the ports. Look for optical drives. Look at the screen resolution.

A missed period is usually the first sign of pregnancy. You should track your menstrual cycle to know roughly when to expect your monthly period. If you do not experience your period within this time frame, this can be an early sign you're pregnant. About a quarter of pregnant women experience nausea as the first sign of pregnancy. You may feel sick to your stomach at certain times of the day. Strange smells may easily trigger feelings of nausea and sickness. Implantation bleeding sometimes occurs just after pregnancy, possibly due to a sperm attaching to an egg. Some women may mistake this for a very light period, but it can be a sign of pregnancy if you are also experiencing other symptoms.  Implantation bleeding or spotting is much lighter than your regular period. You may only notice it when you wipe. The color also may differ from a regular period. It may be more pink or brown-colored than usual. Pregnancy can cause unexpected physical discomfort. Usually, this takes the form of mild uterine cramping as well as tender, sore breasts. Like many symptoms of pregnancy, these are often similar to pains you may experience just before your period. During pregnancy, your kidneys produce extra fluid due to increased levels of blood in your body. Many women notice increased urination during pregnancy. If you find yourself using the bathroom more often, this could be an early sign that you are pregnant. Just after you become pregnant, it's normal for your body to produce up to 25% more urine. The increase in urine will peak at 10-15 weeks of pregnancy. After that, you'll likely feel increased urges to urinate, as the additional weight of your uterus and growing baby press down on your bladder. Breast tissue is very sensitive to your hormones, so your breasts will show signs of pregnancy early. You may start to experience tender, swollen breasts as early as 2 weeks after conception. It's normal to feel a tingly sensation and soreness. Your breasts may also start to fill full and heavy.

TL;DR in English:


Get yourself to safety. Check yourself and others for injuries. Remain calm. Report the accident to local law enforcement. Do not leave the scene. Take photos of the scene. Obtain information from any witnesses who are willing to provide it.

Using wood glue, you can add anything your heart desires. For a rustic look, you can add little twigs, pebbles, twine, fake leaves, and anything else you can think of. For a flashier look, try gems or other sparkly objects. A fully painted pot looks great, but leaving portions of unpainted terracotta showing through can provide a neat contrast. It will be recognizable as an ordinary, every day terracotta planter, but with a little extra pizzazz. This looks great when the pot is positioned with unpainted terracotta pots, as it ties the arrangement together. You can use duct tape to create bold, straight-edged designs, and you can also free hand with your paint to create gentle, flowing patterns. You can create a one-of-a-kind pot by using both kinds of designs on one pot!

TL;DR in English: Use adhesive to add some 3D decoration to your pot. Leave sections unpainted for contrast. Try geometric designs, organic patterns, and even try combining the two.

An interviewer might not always ask for a specific example. He might say something like, "Tell me about how you handle conflict in the workplace?" Do not take this as an invitation to be inexact. Always use specifics when discussing conflict.  Talk about what strategies you use and why they work. You should use concrete examples, even if you don't launch into an entire narrative. Try something like, "I try to see things from other people's perspective. For example, if I'm working with someone from a more creative background I try to make sure they have the time and resources they need to complete a project."  Talk about what tactics you use in communication to resolve conflict. Do you listen actively? Do you express yourself in a transparent way? If so, how? Go into further detail. Your interviewer is going to be seeing a lot of candidates and you want to make sure you stay memorable. Even if you were frustrated by a situation, it's considered bad form to speak negatively of a co-worker or employer. Always try to present the conflict in a fair manner, even if you still think you were right, and do not use disparaging language. Employers value loyalty and if an interviewer sees you're quick to bad talk your former place of business he will not want to hire you. Let's go back to our example. You may be tempted to say something like, "Ramona made it difficult because she was lazy about deadlines." Try to phrase that in a more positive light. For example, "Ramona's creativity was her priority, which was helpful for our design department but as a result she occasionally forgot deadlines." An employer may ask a variety of questions about conflict, so you should not just have one example of resolving a conflict on hand. Before you go into an interview, think of a variety of times you handled conflict at work. As always, stick to win-win situations where the conflict was resolved and you learned something in the process.

TL;DR in English: Be specific. Avoid using negative language when speaking about a company or co-worker. Have several examples ready.

The first thing you should do after an accident is remove yourself from harm's way by getting off the roadway and out of traffic. Distance yourself from anything that may cause you additional harm, such as:  A vehicle that is leaking gasoline. A vehicle or structure that is on fire. Damaged structures that could collapse. Roadside cliffs or drop-offs. Call 9-1-1 immediately if you or anyone else involved in the accident is hurt. Very few motorcyclists walk away from accidents without some kind of injury, and some of the most serious injuries are not readily identifiable. As such, you should seek medical attention even if you believe you are not hurt.  Although less common than injuries to the lower and upper extremities, injuries to the chest and abdomen from motorcycle crashes tend to be more serious. This is due to the potential for organ damage and/or internal bleeding from blunt-force impact to the midsection. Lower extremity injuries are the most common type of motorcycle crash-related injury. These often involve bone fractures and are usually not fatal if dealt with properly by medical professionals. Although it may be difficult to maintain a calm demeanor when you have just been involved in a motorcycle accident, it is important that you do not do or say anything that could make the situation worse in any way or indicate culpability. For example, do not:  Argue with other parties involved in the accident. Assign blame for the accident. Physically engage others in a hostile manner. Intentionally inflict additional damage to property. This is only necessary if emergency services (9-1-1) were not contacted. Except in very minor incidents (such as those that result in no injuries and minimal property damage), law enforcement may be needed involved in order to:  Control traffic. Record details of the accident. Determine whether immediate legal action is required. It is important that you remain at the site of the accident long enough to exchange relevant information with all parties involved and/or law...

Add 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water to a saucepan or small pot. Heat this on your stove on high until the mixture comes to a simmer and the sugar is dissolved. Then add your favorite Kool-Aid to the mix and stir until the Kool-Aid is completely dissolved. You should wait until your Kool-Aid syrup is completely cooled before you use it. This kind of syrup can often be kept in the refrigerator for up to a month. This natural syrup can be made from your choice of fruit juice mixed with water. You should combine the two in a 2 to 1 ratio; 2 parts fruit juice to every 1 part water. For example, for every 2 cups of fruit juice, you should add 1 cup of water. You may notice that natural syrups have a slightly different taste than out-of-the-box flavors. You may need to thin the mixture with water to make it suit your tastes. You'll need a sugar free flavoring packet, like Crystal Light or Everly, but you could also use a mix of Kool-Aid and Splenda. Add these together until you achieve your desired flavor. Drizzle this on your snow cone and enjoy. This special preparation of snow cone can be made with sweetened condensed milk and your choice of syrup. Sprinkle your choice of syrup over your shaved ice then add sweetened condensed milk liberally until you reach the desired level of sweetness. You may find this works easiest when using a squeeze bottle or a container with a spout.  An example recipe you might try at home uses 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk, 2 cans of chocolate syrup (or 2 squeeze bottles), 8 cans of evaporated milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Combine these ingredients in a bowl, chill the mixture, and then you can drizzle it over your crushed ice. You can adjust the amount of syrup and sweetened condensed milk to suit your tastes. Another alternative you could use in place of sweetened condensed milk is marshmallow fluff.

TL;DR in English: Create a Kool-Aid syrup. Make a natural juice syrup. Mix a sugar free syrup. Make a New Orleans Style snow cone.

Begin the personal narrative by drawing the reader in with a strong opening sentence. Use rich description and detail in the opening. Start in action so the reader is grabbed right away and keeps reading. For example, the first line in the personal narrative by Tony Gervino is attention grabbing: “I was 6 when my brother John leaned across the kitchen table and casually whispered that he had killed Santa Claus.” Ground the reader in the story by providing information on the main characters and the central conflict or theme. Tell the reader where the narrative is taking place and when it is taking place. Explain whether the story is about you and/or you and your relationship with someone else in your life. For example, in Tony Gervino’s essay, he sets the scene by providing setting, character, and narrative voice: “It was July 1973, we were living in Scarsdale, N.Y., and he was four years older than I was, although that seemed like decades.” Do not jump to different moments in time or move from a past event to a present event and then back again in the same paragraph. Go chronologically from event to event or moment to moment. This will make it easier for the reader to follow along with the narrative. For example, you may start with an event in childhood with your older sister and then move forward in time to the present day, focusing on you and your older sister as adults. Focus on how things smelled, sounded, tasted, felt, and looked in the scene. Paint a vivid picture for the reader so they feel immersed in the narrative. Try to describe moments in the narrative based on the speaker’s perspective. For example, you may describe the feeling of your mother’s famous lemon cake as “rich and zesty, with a special ingredient that to this day, I cannot identify.” Most personal narratives end with a reflection or analysis of the events. You may come up with a moral that you share with the reader based on your own experiences. Or you may leave the reader with a takeaway thought that illustrates what you learned from...

There are several cost-effective choices for neutralizing chlorine bleach (commonly sold under the brand name Clorox), which is the kind used in washing and for decorating or changing the color of fabric products. It also contains sodium hydroxide (lye) to stabilize the hypochlorite.  The lye is difficult to rinse out completely and will slowly destroy cotton. To fully neutralize the lingering effects of chlorine bleach the hypochlorite and the lye must be neutralized, too. If you’re using bleach for decorative effects on cotton, denim, or other natural fabrics, you can try one of these options:  Bisulfite/metabisulfite is very inexpensive. It is sold under the brand name Anti-Chlor, and you only need to use a small amount to neutralize bleach. You can usually find bisulfite at dye suppliers or you can get Camden Tablets (which have the same ingredient) from a wine brewing supply company.  Thiosulfate, which is called Bleach Stop, can typically be found at a local photography supply store, as it is commonly used in developing photographs. This is a more expensive option than bisulfite, and it’s not as strong so you’ll need to use more.  Vitamin C/Ascorbic acid: Ascorbic acid neutralizes both the hypochlorite and the lye.  You will find it in most food stores or pharmacies under its common name, vitamin C.  Yes,  get the cheapest vitamin C you can find and grind the tablets up into powder to dissolve in your rinse water. Hydrogen peroxide is the most easily obtainable of the neutralizers; you can find it at drugstores and grocery stores. This is an inexpensive choice, and it works well for people with asthma, who may be sensitive to the other compounds, which contain sulfur. Opt for the 3% solution. The amount of neutralizing agent required will depend on which one you’ve chosen.  Anti-Chlor: use 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) per 4 cups (950 mL) of water.  Bleach Stop: 1 ounce by weight (30 grams) per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water.  Vitamin C/Ascorbic acid: Crush up 4-6 tablets and add the powder to enough water to submerge...

TL;DR in English: Buy a neutralizing agent. Measure your neutralizing agent. Bleach your fabric. Rinse the fabric. Soak the bleached fabric in neutralizer. Wash and rinse.

Casual nicknames that you call a friend may give them the impression that you are not interested in them. Instead, try to call them pet names that convey that you think they are special or attractive. This will help transition your relationship from friendship to love.  For instance, call them something like "sweetheart," "cutie," or "gorgeous." Avoid casual names like "buddy," "pal," or "dude." Friendship means a certain level of familiarity and comfort that may not scream "romance." Aim to impress them the same way you would try to win over a blind date or a cute stranger. Add intrigue to the relationship to keep and increase their interest. For instance, dress up for outings the same way you would for a romantic date with someone you are just getting to know. A good way to shift your relationship from friendship to romance is to change your routine together. Create excitement by spending time in situations or places you have never been to. Avoid having "dates" that involve activities you did together as friends, such as playing video games or sports. For example, go out for a romantic candlelit dinner or share a bottle of wine instead of ordering a pizza. While you may have done many activities together as friends, a shared getaway is a distinctly romantic thing to do. Plan a small vacation for you and your partner to spend some one-on-one time together. Whether it is a short road trip or a more elaborate getaway, the experience will bond you on a new level. To avoid potential conflicts, start by going away for a few days at a time with your partner then build up to longer trips.

TL;DR in English: Start calling them nicknames that are flirty or affectionate. Put effort into impressing them despite your comfort with them. Pursue more romantic activities while you are together. Plan a romantic trip together to celebrate your love.

If you are splitting normal-sized wood, unless it is unnaturally knotty or a kind of wood resistant to chopping (like elm), you likely won't need to use a wedge. If the wood is tough and several axe swings leave cuts, cracks, but no clean split, it's time for you to get some more tools. When an axe alone simply can't do the job, it's time for you to get a long metal wedge and a sledgehammer. You can purchase these from your local hardware store or perhaps even borrow these from a neighbor. Even if your axe didn't pass all the way through your piece of wood, chopping it cleanly, if you landed a few hits, there will probably be at least some deep cuts in the wood, or maybe even a crack. Look for the deepest cut or crack in your wood; this is where you will split the wood. Some especially large or difficult pieces of wood may require more than one wedge. As the wood will be softer than your wedge, you probably won't have a problem jamming the wedge into the cut or crack that you've chosen for your split. If you're attempting to cut an especially hard kind of wood, you may need to tap your wedge into place with your sledgehammer. Using the same form as you did with your axe, keep your legs shoulder-width apart, your dominant hand close to the head of the sledgehammer, your eye focused on the wedge, and bring the hammer into position above your shoulder. Allow your dominant hand to slide down the handle of your hammer toward your stationary non-dominant hand, and bring the hammer quickly and firmly down on the wedge.  This should drive the wedge more deeply into the piece of wood, causing the cut to turn into a crack or the crack that was already there to deepen. You may need to swing your hammer multiple times to drive the wedge deeper into the wood. Sometimes, the wedge will cause the knot to break apart in a clean split, other times you may have to apply some muscle to pull the mostly split piece apart. In some cases, you may need to use your axe to carefully sever any connecting pieces that remain.

Look at the offices you can hold in your county, city, or town so you know what your options are. Pick an office that you’re passionate about with duties that you’re able to manage easily. Some common local positions include mayor, treasurer, city council, and school board president. Check the duties of the positions you’re interested in to see if they’re something you want to do.  For example, if you’ve previously worked in finance, you may run for treasurer. If you have a law background, you might choose to run for city counselor or law director. Each city or county may have different positions and duties. Be sure to check your local elections office or website to see specific information for your area. Make sure to determine whether the position you're running for is partisan or non-partisan. If you want a partisan position, you may need to affiliate with a political party or run as an independent. Think of 1-2 sentences about why you want to run for local office. Incorporate what values you hold or things you want to change for the better. When other people ask you why you want to run, be consistent with your message so you aren’t telling others different things.  For example, if you want to run for the school board, your message may be, “To help children learn through the most effective practices.” Take firm stances on what you want to accomplish or else you might not be taken as seriously. Each position has different qualifications, but many require you to be a certain age and to have lived in the area you’re running for a specific amount of time. Visit your local elections office or their website confirm that you qualify for the position you're running for. The full list of requirements for running in your area may be posted online on your local election office’s website. Some offices require you to get support from local voters in order to run in a local election. Look at the requirements from your local election office to see what forms and petitions you need to provide. If a petition is required,...

TL;DR in English: Choose the local office you want to run for. Develop a simple message that describes why you want to run.

You should not change your looks or personality to fit into a stereotype. Alternative models often have piercings and tattoos, but you should not alter your appearance just to become a model. You should change hair or acquire body art because you desire them, and/or because they are meaningful to you. Alternative models typically look alternative on a daily basis, rather than dressing up for photo shoots. If you are under 18, you must have a parent’s permission before getting a piercing or tattoo. There are several categories of alternative models. Some of the categories are similar, but some require completely different looks. Some categories are emo, hipster, punk, Goth, Lolita, burlesque, and for the heavily tattooed, a walking piece of art.  Goth and emo are each distinct styles, but they share many similarities. Goth and emo styles are both known for black clothing, black or brightly colored hair, dark makeup, and a lot of accessories, like chokers and corsets. Punk is a style that is related to Goth and emo, but it is more focused on punk music, like band t-shirts and vests with pins attached.  Hipster style has become very popular in recent years. “Hipsters” often wear flannel shirts, ironic shirts, beanies, and skinny jeans. Men often have beards, and women sometimes dye their hair in pastel shades.  Dita Von Teese is perhaps the most well known celebrity that wears a burlesque style. Burlesque is a style deriving from the 1800s, and it is often associated with stripteases. Velvet clothing, red lipsticks, corsets, garters and stocking, and high heels are associated with burlesque style.  Lolita derives from Vladimir Nabakov’s Lolita that was originally popular in Japan, but it is now popular all over the world. It is typically a “cutesy” style that strives for the wearer to appear youthful, like a young girl.  The fashion is not just for females either, as there are other genders who like to dress up in Ouija style or just in the elaborate dresses as well. Don’t be afraid to dress in a way that...

TL;DR in English: Don’t change yourself for the wrong reasons. Decide what type of alternative model you want to be. Dress to stand out. Try an unnatural hair color. Embrace tattoos and piercings. Be accepting of your body type.

This should only take 15 to 30 seconds if you are using a high speed setting. If the root beer freeze is not mixing evenly, pause the blender, and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the inside walls. You can get as fancy as you'd like here. For the ultimate treat, add a swirl of whipped cream onto each freeze. Top it off with a drizzle of chocolate sauce, a dash of sprinkles, and a maraschino cherry. Serve the root beer freeze immediately with straws and long, slender spoons.

You'll want to plant seeds about ¼ inch (.64 cm) deep and bury clippings ½ inch (1.3 cm) deep. You should be patient while awaiting your plants to emerge from the ground since seeds often sprout slowly, though indoor planting may see seeds sprout in less time.  You should avoid attempting to use seeds that have been stored long periods of time. As time passes, the chance the seeds will grow decreases.  Strip cuttings of their leaves on the end being planted. Plants usually take 5 to 10 days to sprout from the ground. However, your oregano may take more or less time depending on factors like soil quality, sunlight, and frequency of watering. During the first few months of growth, water your plants regularly to get them started. Once they are established, you can reduce the amount of water. Check whether your plant needs water or not by touching the soil around it. If it feels dry, you should thoroughly water the area. Plants in containers should be treated similarly to outdoor grown oregano. However, when watering, you should douse the plant until you notice water dripping from the drainage holes in the bottom of the container. By trimming or pinching the leaves and ends of your plant, you can encourage the growth of denser leaves. Wait until the plant is about 4 in (10.2 cm) tall, and use a pair of shears or scissors to lightly thin the outer growth.  Trimming also helps prevent excessive stem growth in your plant. This condition, called legginess, will reduce the yield of your crop. Where you trim your plant, you should notice it branch at that point when it continues growing. In turn, these branches will bear more leaves, meaning more oregano for you.  As you trim, you can use the fresh oregano in a recipe, or dry it to use later on. Sick or thin plants can crowd better ones and steal resources, negatively impacting the potential of the healthier plants. Plants that are three or four years old are at the end of the oregano life cycle and will be less productive, making these prime candidates for removal....

TL;DR in English: Plant your oregano. Water your oregano moderately. Trim your oregano for thicker growth. Remove older plants. Weed around your plants Pick your oregano.

If you think your child has scoliosis, either due to a positive screening at school or because somebody noticed that your child's back / body looks lopsided, then make an appointment with your family doctor or a medical specialist, such as an orthopedist. Scoliosis can progress very quickly in teenagers, so the sooner you seek medical advice the better. Doctors cannot prevent scoliosis completely, but they can properly assess it and provide you with options to combat its progression.  The doctor will likely take an x-ray and measure the angle of your child's scoliotic curve. Scoliosis is not considered very significant until the curve is greater than 25 – 30 degrees.  Scoliosis affects females more than males and it runs in families, so it can be hereditary in some cases. A common option for teenagers with progressive cases of scoliosis is wearing a back brace. Bracing can't prevent scoliosis, but it can help keep it from getting worse in some cases. Depending on how serious the scoliosis is and where the unnatural curves are, braces can be made of rigid plastic or stretchy elastic with metal inserts. They typically cover most of the torso and can be worn underneath clothing. Brace treatment is generally used when: a curve is greater than or equal to 25 degrees and appears to be progressing quickly, or the curve is discovered at a young age when the spine is still growing and is already over 30 degrees.  Most braces are worn at least 16 hours a day for many months or even a few years — until the spine stops growing. Several studies conclude that back bracing for scoliosis can keep spinal curves from getting large enough to require surgery.  In general, about 1/4 of children / teens with scoliosis may benefit from back bracing. Spinal surgery should be considered the last resort for scoliosis, but in some cases it is necessary to stop the deformity from progressing and causing health problems (from crowded organs) and long-term chronic pain and disability. Scoliosis surgery involves fusing together two or more...

TL;DR in English: Consult with your doctor. Ask your doctor about spinal bracing. Talk to your doctor about spinal surgery.

Some bugs stay out in the open and are easy to find. Others, like cockroaches, are nocturnal and prefer dark and enclosed areas. If you know what type of bug you are trying to eliminate, research it to find out where it may be living in your house. A good place to start your search is in the kitchen, as many bugs are attracted to the smell of food. Because bugs are attracted to the smell of food, do your best to keep food out of any living areas for extended periods of time. Once you have found the bug, you need a tool with which to hit it and kill it. For most bugs, a newspaper, a piece of cardboard, a paper-back book or a regular fly swatter are good tools to use. Roll it up or position it in your hand so it is comfortable. Raise it about a foot above the insect. Alternatively, if the insect is on the ground you can stamp on it with your foot. Make sure that you are wearing shoes, preferably with a solid sole. Approach the insect and use the newspaper or fly swatter to hit the insect directly and with force. If using your foot, target the insect and stamp on it with the middle part of your shoe. It is important to move quickly and not to hesitate. Many insects like flies are extremely aware of their surroundings, and when they notice a threat they move immediately. Therefore, it's very important to do it quickly! You may want to clean up the insect remains after you are done. Using something disposable like a napkin or paper towel to clean up the insect is a great way of getting rid of it for good! After disposing of the insect, wipe down the surface you picked it up from using an all-purpose cleaner or a product like Clorox to ensure a complete clean.

Download an app to help. Use devices that incorporate light. Calculate your best wake up and bedtimes.

At this point, the calculation becomes much simpler if you convert from imperial units to metric units. When you are finished with all of the calculations you can convert kilograms back to pounds to get the weight in imperial units.  To convert cubic feet to cubic meters, use the conversion factor 0.0283 m3/ft3.  For the rectangular pond, multiply (750,000 ft3)(0.0283) = 2122.5 m3. Density is affected by temperature and salinity (salt content) so the density of water in a warm freshwater lake will be different than that of an arctic ocean. If you are doing a rough estimation you can use a density of 1000 kg/m3 (the density of pure water).  Ocean water is more dense because of the salt content and is about 1027 kg/m3. Colder water is more dense than warmer water, but for this type of general calculation the changes due to temperature can be ignored. The next step in getting to the weight of your body of water is converting the total volume you calculated into a mass. This is done by multiplying by the density of the liquid. For example: The pond contains fresh water, so use the density of water of 1000 kg/m3. Multiply the volume in m3 by this density: (2122.5)(1000) = 2,122,500 kg. The total mass of the pond in kilograms is 2,122,500. The final step is to convert kilograms back to pounds. To do this, you use the conversion factor 2.2 kg/lb. Simply multiply the number of kilograms by 2.2 to get the number of pounds. For example: 2,122,500 x 2.2 = 4,669,500 lbs. The total weight of the pond is 4,669,500 pounds.

TL;DR in English: Convert the volume to meters cubed. Identify the density of the liquid of the body of water. Multiply volume by density to calculate mass. Convert mass to weight in pounds.

If your bike has a kickstand, rest your bike on it. If your bike doesn't have a kickstand, lean it up against a wall or a table so it stays upright. You can also set the bike upside-down so that it rests on its seat and handlebars. In this case, all directions are the opposite (clockwise instead of anti-clockwise). Look at the space in between the pedal and the crank arm (the metal arm that your pedals are attached to). If you see flats for a spanner (wrench) to grip on, you’ll need to use a pedal spanner (wrench). If you don’t see spanner (wrench) flats, check for a hexagonal Allen-key (wrench) socket at the end of the axle that connects the pedal to the crank arm. If you see the socket, you’ll need an Allen-key (wrench).  If you need to use a pedal spanner (wrench), a 15 mm (0.59 in) wrench will usually work for an adult bike. For some children’s bikes, you will need a 9⁄16 in (14 mm) spanner (wrench). Some pedal spanners (wrenches) have openings in both of these standard sizes. A 6 mm (0.24 in) Allen-key (wrench) will usually work for bikes with Allen-key (wrench) sockets. Some bike pedals are designed so you can use either a pedal spanner (wrench) or an Allen-key (wrench). If you see spanner (wrench) flats on your bike pedal, still check the end of the axle to see if there’s an Allen-key (wrench) socket there. If you’re using a pedal spanner (wrench), wrap the jaws of the spanner (wrench) around the spanner (wrench) flats between the pedal and the crank arm. If you’re using an Allen-key (wrench), insert the hexagonal end of the spanner (wrench) into the Allen-key (wrench) socket on the end of the pedal axle. Make sure you start with the right pedal. The direction you need to rotate the spanner (wrench) to loosen the right pedal is different to the left pedal. If you’re using a pedal spanner (wrench), make a half rotation and lift the spanner (wrench) off the flats. Hold onto the opposite pedal while you do this to give yourself more leverage. Replace the spanner (wrench) on the flats with the handle back...

TL;DR in English: Secure your bike on a flat surface. Check the pedals to see what kind of spanner (wrench) you’ll need. Place the spanner (wrench) on the right pedal. Rotate the spanner (wrench) counterclockwise to loosen the right pedal. Take the right pedal off and set it aside. Repeat on the left pedal but rotate the spanner (wrench) clockwise instead.

Believe it or not, “there’s an app for that.” Smartphones have several different apps that you can use to help wake you up while you are in stage 1 sleep.  Some apps work by attempting to determine the stage of sleep you are in by monitoring your body movements. This requires placing the phone a certain way on the mattress and provides for a target wake-up time which varies based on the readings from the app. Other available technologies use headbands to determine brainwave activity and wakes you when you are in the lighter stages of sleep. To balance the melatonin response in your body, some alarms have been designed in the form of lamps.  The alarm lamps use wavelengths of light that mimic natural daylight. Prior to your designated alarm time, the lamp begins by emitting low levels of light which gradually increase as your alarm time approaches. This helps to make your brain think it is daytime. Many available lamps use blue wavelengths of light which more naturally mimic natural light sources. Regular artificial lighting does not work. Artificial lighting does not send the same messages to your brain to wake up or help with regulating your sleep-wake cycle. In addition to the non-traditional methods available as morning alarms, you may also want to calculate the time to go to sleep and to set your alarm based on standard sleep cycles.  The standard sleep cycle is 90 minutes in length. Setting your alarm device, whatever you select, with 90-minute sleep intervals in mind, can help to minimize the amount of sleep inertia you experience. Once you fall asleep, your first 90-minute cycle begins. It may take some effort to determine the number of hours of sleep your body needs each night, but once you know that number you can use the amount of sleep you need in combination with the 90 minute sleep cycle time frame to optimize your sleep quality. Figure out your best bedtime by doing the math in reverse. Start with the time you need to get up each morning and calculate in reverse using 90-minute sleep cycles to...

Making sure your body is in top physical condition before labor begins can reduce the likelihood of a prolonged labor. Preparing your body for what's to come can make labor easier and quicker when your baby arrives. Walk or swim regularly, and incorporate a few specialized exercises.  Kegels, small internal contractions of the pelvic muscles, can help your body with the pushing stage of labor and also reduce the risk of hemorrhoids in the weeks after childbirth. You can do kegels virtually anywhere. Simply contract the muscles around your vagina, as you would when holding in urine, then hold for four seconds and release. Repeat this 10 times. Three or four sets, done about three times a day, is ideal.  The pelvic tilt, also known as the angry cat, can strengthen abdominal muscles and reduce back pain during pregnancy. Get on your hands and knees, keeping your arms straight without locking your elbows. Tighten your abdominal muscles when breathing in and move your buttocks below your back. Relax your back when you breathe out and repeat at your own pace. Move in time to the rhythm of your breath.  Squatting helps open your pelvis, important for labor. Stand with a chair facing your back and, using the chair for support, contract abdominal muscles, lift your chest, and relax your shoulders. Lower your tailbone to the floor, as if you were going to sit down on the chair, and then rise again to the standing position. Making sure your body is healthy before delivery is vital to a smooth labor. Nutrition is just as important as exercise. Each woman's body is different, so there's no one-size-fits-all guideline to how much weight you should gain.  The adage that you're eating for two is false as your caloric intake does not double. However, you should increase the amount of calories you're eating as your pregnancy progresses. In general, a woman with a BMI between 18.5 and 25.9 should gain between 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy. A woman with a BMI higher than this should only gain 15 to 25 pounds. Discuss how much...

TL;DR in English: Stay fit during pregnancy. Monitor your weight during your pregnancy. Follow the food pyramid during pregnancy. Rest between your contractions.

Video is a visual medium, and while voice overs and text are great to get information across they are not incredibly compelling. If you're shooting alone you will not be able to use dialog, actors, or a ton of sound to tell your story. What you have, however, is all the time in the world to set up great shots, capture good video, and work on creating compelling angles. Have the mind of a photographer on every shot. Ask yourself if, on its own, the image is interesting. A storyboard is just the comic book version of your movie. They are invaluable ways to design your film, allowing you to "see" the movie before shooting. It then acts as your guidebook to the film. You can find and print templates online, or simply draw out your basic shots in advance with pen and paper. Improvising for the camera has it's place, of course. But storyboards are a good way to plan where the camera should go. Camera microphones are notoriously bad, and they become useless when the camera is far away from the action. An external microphone will make a huge difference in your production quality, since most audiences notice bad sound before rough video. Make discrete, compelling "scenes" instead of turning the camera on and letting it run while you move around. This ensures that you think about each scene individually and it makes editing much easier. Focus works by sharpening the image at one particularly distance from the camera. If you move around the camera will struggle to keep up, shifting focus or becoming blurry. Put down a small piece of tape that tells you where you need to sit or stand for each take. Films of any lengths are built in the editing booth.The more raw material, or film, that you have to work with the happier you will be, and the easier it will be to make a great movie. Grab different angles of the same shot, run through different lines, or videotape your environment for atmospheric shots. Every extra shot counts. Experiment with shots. Take crazy angles, get weird, abstract shots of everyday objects, and...

TL;DR in English: Focus on telling your story or idea visually. Make a storyboard of your film. Use an external mic instead of the camera microphone. Shoot in short bursts, not long single takes, when getting lots of footage. Stay in one place if you are filming yourself. Get 3-5 times the footage you think you need.

Humor is subjective. What you find funny won't necessarily be the same thing even your best friend finds funny. So in order to know what tickles his funny bone, get to know him! What TV shows does he like? What comedians? What kind of humor does he use to amuse others? All of these are cues as to what gets him giggling. The most aptly-timed joke on, say, Foucault won't be appreciated by the type of guy who prefers laughing at toilet humor. And it works the other way around, too. Does the guy you're eyeing prefer bro banter? Is he into witty non-sequiturs about current events? Can he be slayed by a play on words in Klingon? Find out! On the whole, women value a sense of humor more than men do. What do men want? Someone who will make them feel funny. Instead of trying to impress him, show him that he impresses you. Showing him that he has the right to laugh at his own jokes, too, because he's just so darn awesome could win him over in no time. You don't have to laugh at every joke he makes like your world has just been altered. If he drops a dud, laugh at him, albeit playfully. Did he just try an unfunny, stereotypical, sexist, blonde joke? Oh, honey. Let him know how cute he is for trying with a fake chuckle and a forced grin. When we click with people, chemistry is pretty Unable to ignore. To show him that you just get him and that you appreciate his humor, feed off of it! Did he just whip out his Sean Connery impression on a dime? Keep it going with your best Alex Trebek or Pussy Galore (doesn't have to be good -- this moment is about him). If not an impression, can you drop a line from a movie or challenge him to up his game to Christopher Walken? Establishing a banter can develop a rapport between you two, creating a bond that won't easily be broken. Whether his humor is self-deprecating or straight out of Family Guy, go with it. Show him that you appreciate how fun he is.

TL;DR in English:


Play a sport. Hone your communication skills. Make industry connections. Look for a job in sports journalism or broadcasting.

Avoid walking alone as this may attract the bully. If there isn't anyone else around to walk with, take a path where there are a lot of people who will see if the bully tries to harass you. Most bullies won’t approach a group of people. They want to make you feel bad or get a reaction from you. With friends there to support you, they know you’re less likely to respond with the emotion they want.  Bullies are less likely to pick on you, if they think they’ll be the “odd man out.” Sticking with your friends will discourage them from bullying you. Tell your friends about the bullying, and ask them to stick up for you in case the bully does approach. Don’t put yourself in a situation where the bully will have an opportunity to verbally or physically attack you. Think about where you’ve come in contact with your bully in the past, and try to find alternate routes, shift your schedule, or change habits to avoid the bully. Don’t let your bully dramatically impact your day to day life, but if you can easily circumvent the places you run into them, doing so may be the easiest way to avoid conflict.  For instance, if you often run into the bully on your way home from a specific event, plan for an alternate route that won't take you past your bully. If you have to see your bully in a class, try to walk as far away from them as possible, and avoid sitting near them. If your bully frequents the same coffee shop or other public location, consider going at a different time of day. If they call you names, don't say anything in response. Most bullies are behaving in a harassing way to get a specific reaction from you. If you don’t respond at all, they are more likely to lose interest. Not responding may also make the bully angrier, so make sure to read their responses and leave possibly hostile situations. This may be easier said than done. In some cases, the bully will not want you to walk away, and will continue to follow and harass you. If the bully tries to physically attack you, it is especially important to walk away...

TL;DR in English: Stick with your friends. Avoid places where the bully hangs out. Ignore your bully. Walk away.

If you have the opportunity, think about trying out for a sports team. Having a practical knowledge of the sports you’ll be reporting on can be a major plus. Becoming an athlete will give you a chance to work closely with other players, coaches, recruiters and journalists, and afford you a behind-the-scenes look into the workings of the industry.  If you’re not a student and don’t have the option of trying out for a school team, look into joining a community league in your area. Quite a few well-known sportscasters got their start as players rather than educated journalists. Start writing out your thoughts and analyses of sporting events for practice. A substantial amount of the expert opinions offered by sports analysts are written down in the form of blurbs, editorials and written interviews. You should also work on polishing your verbal skills and becoming comfortable talking to people to prepare for conducting interviews and appearing on radio or television.  A lot of writing goes into sports reporting, even if you’re working in broadcasting. The better you’re able to write, the better you’ll be at doing your job.  Devise a system for interviewing players, coaches and other personnel. Know how to make the best use of a short interview segment, and which questions to ask to receive the information you’re after. Attend sporting events regularly and meet as many industry professionals as you can. See if you can take up a minute of the coach’s time, or ask a sports reporter or even a camera technician how they broke into the business. Give your name to everyone you meet and let them know that you’re interested in getting started as a sportscaster. This way, they’ll remember you once it comes time to put your networking to use. Don’t be shy about asking for advice. Most sports reporters are very comfortable talking to people and will be happy to share the secrets of their success with you. When you feel prepared, start seeking out jobs in sports journalism. You may have to smart small initially, working for...

If you are in a discussion with someone who is not in a social setting, you may be afraid that someone will be offended by someone who is

Pay attention to fear. Note when you become self-conscious in a social setting. Consider whether you avoid social settings. Think about how often you stay quiet during discussions.

Mix one teaspoon (5 ml) into ¼ cup (59 ml) of water. Apply one drop of the solution to a hidden spot on the fabric. Wait for one minute and then blot the spot dry with a white cloth. If the color does not bleed or fade, it should be safe to use bleach on it.  Choose a hem for shirts you tuck in and an inseam or spot around the waist on pants. It’s also smart to check the tags on clothes. There will be a warning if the clothes are sensitive to bleach. Remember when you add bleach to your laundry not to let the bleach come into direct contact with the laundry. To accomplish this, start the washer before you put any laundry into it. Let the basin fill at least halfway before you add detergent and bleach. Bleach does not wash clothes, so you still need to use detergent to clean your laundry. If your machine has a detergent compartment, measure out the detergent and add it. If the machine has no detergent compartment, pour it directly into the water. For small loads, use about ½ cup (118 ml) of bleach. If you have an extra large load, it’s okay to use closer to a full cup (237 ml) of bleach. Pour it into a bleach compartment or directly into the water. Washer sizes and load sizes vary, so you’ll have to adjust how much bleach you use. Let the washer finish filling with water so that the bleach mixes up and dilutes into the water. When the machine is almost full, put your load of laundry into the water. Make sure it goes all the way into the water rather than floating on top.

TL;DR in English: Test the colorfastness of non-white fabrics. Fill the washer with water. Pour your detergent into the washer. Add about ½-¾ cup (118-177 ml) of bleach for a standard size load. Push the laundry down into the water.

Do you become filled with terror at the thought of being put on the spot at a social event? Are you afraid that people will judge you? This fear can come from being asked a personal question in front of others, or just being invited to a social gathering of any kind. If you have SAD, this fear would dominate your thoughts and causes you to feel panicked. For example, if you have SAD, you may feel a sense of terror when a friend asks you a question in front of people you don’t know. You may worry that people will judge you for what you say and be too afraid to say anything as a result. A common symptom of SAD is a feeling of self-consciousness that dictates how a person interacts with others. People with SAD are always afraid that they will embarrass themselves or get rejected in some way. If you feel extremely self-conscious when in a social setting, before a social interaction, or before a public talk, you may have SAD. For example, if you feel like you have nothing of value to say when you are discussing a subject that you are actually passionate about, you may have social anxiety. Instead of contributing your ideas and opinions, you may be obsessing over thoughts that the other people don’t like how you are dressed or that they don't think you are intelligent. A common trait of someone with SAD is avoiding instances where they may be forced to speak or interact in a social setting. If you go out of your way to avoid social interactions or having to speak in front of others, you may have social anxiety. For example, if you are invited to a party but you refuse to go because you are too nervous about hanging out with other people, you may have social anxiety. People with SAD generally fade to the back of discussions because they are too nervous about voicing their thoughts. They are afraid that what they say will displease others or warrant ridicule. If you often find yourself staying silent during conversations out of fear, this may indicate that you have SAD. For example, if you are in a discussion with...

Choose a bikini if you want a fun and flirty two-piece bathing suit. Try a one-piece or tankini for a more conservative style. Mix and match your bathing suit tops and bottoms for a versatile look.

The more comfortable you are talking to your parents about everyday stuff, the easier it will be to talk about difficult subjects. Having regular chats will also make it easier for you and your parents to understand each other. Instead of hiding in your room after coming home from school, take a few minutes to talk about how your day went.  For example, you could talk to them about something funny that happened in class, or tell them about what you’d like to do over the weekend. Ask your parents how they’re doing, too. Showing that you’re interested in them and willing to listen will encourage them to listen to you in return. You could say something like, “How’s that new gardening project coming along, Dad?” If you need to talk to your parents about something difficult, take time beforehand to think about exactly what you want to tell them. This will help you express yourself more clearly and feel more confident when it’s time to have the talk.  For example, if you made a mistake, you might plan to say something like, “I messed up today, and I feel really bad about it. I’m afraid you might be disappointed in me, but I really need to tell you what happened.” Think about what you want from your parents, too. They’ll have an easier time understanding you if you clearly express what you want to get out of the conversation. For example, you might say, “I don’t really want advice, Mom. I just need to get this off my chest.” Your parents will have an easier time listening to you and understanding what you’re trying to say if they’re not distracted or stressed out by other things. Try to choose a time to talk when you and your parents are both calm and unlikely to get interrupted.  If you’re not sure when would be a good time, don’t hesitate to ask! Say something like, “There’s something important I want to talk about. Is now a good time?” You can also make a plan with your parents ahead of time about when to talk. For example, you could say, “Is it okay if we talk for a few minutes after dinner tonight?” Your...

TL;DR in English: Make time to chat with your parents every day. Decide what you want to say before having a difficult talk. Pick a good time to talk about tricky subjects. Be direct and honest when you speak to your parents. Use “I” language to express your feelings. Listen Keep your tone and words respectful.

Although male carpenter bees are virtually harmless to humans, male bees will become aggressive when threatened or when threatening creatures enter their territory. Often, carpenter bees will hover closely around humans who near their nests in an attempt to scare them away.  Despite their belligerency, carpenter bees are extremely unlikely to injure humans due to the male's lack of a stinger.  Male bees are known to dive-bomb a perceived threat. Carpenter bees will return from hibernation in late April or early May, depending on the temperature. Males are the first to appear, as female carpenter bees spend most of the early months laying eggs and caring for larvae. Carpenter bees burrow in softwood and will rarely be found in living trees. Look for bees under wood areas that are not often disturbed (like beneath the porch stairs or on the entryway ceiling). Carpenter bees are not indigenous everywhere. This species prefers climates with warm summers. Homes in the southern states (from Arizona to Florida) and all eastern states are all at-risk for infestation.  States at-risk for carpenter bee infestation include: Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North/South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. Carpenter bees are also indigenous to countries with similar climates to the southern and eastern United States.

TL;DR in English: Look for aggressive bees. Pay attention to bees appearing in late spring. Spot bees hovering near house eaves. Check for carpenter bees in the eastern and southern United States.

Select a bikini top with underwire if you want extra support, or go with a thin strappy set for a flirty, sexy choice. Pick your favorite style, color, and you’ll be ready for the beach! For instance, choose a hot pink bikini for a cute option, or go for a floral pattern for a summertime style. Tankinis are also a two-piece style, but they have a more modest top. One-piece bathing suits come in open-back, deep “V” necklines, and monokini options if you want a flirty touch. These bathing suits come in all sorts of patterns and colors, so choose one that catches your eye and suits your style.  Women’s bathing suit tops usually are sized by bust measurement, and bottoms often correspond to your pant size. A monokini is a one-piece style with an open back and cut-outs on the side. This is essentially a bikini that also covers your tummy. If you have a few pairs of bikinis or tankinis, consider swapping out certain tops and bottoms to customize your swimwear. This is a great way to change up your style and add a personal touch to your outfit.  For instance, if you have a royal blue bikini and a polka-dotted tankini, you can wear the polka dotted tankini top with the blue bottoms. If you are wearing a feminine style bathing suit, you can wear boardshorts in addition to your bathing suit bottoms. They can be more comfortable when walking around the boardwalk or taking a stroll down the shore.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you should give children two doses of MMR at different times to prevent measles from occuring. Give the first shot of MMR to children between 12-15 months of age, and the second shot between 4-6 years old. Kids need both doses to have the best immunity.  As long as the second dose is 28 days after the first dose, children can get the second dose earlier. The important thing is to give two shots at least 28 days apart. Children between the ages of 1-12 years can get the MMRV vaccine instead, which covers varicella (chickenpox) as well as measles, mumps, and rubella. Teens who attend college or another post-high school institution should be able to show evidence of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella. If not, administer two doses of MMR at least 28 days apart.  ”Evidence of immunity” is when your patient can show written proof that they have been vaccinated, have had all three diseases, or have had blood tests done showing they are immune to all three diseases. Check your patient's medical records or try to consult with their previous doctor. Give one dose to adults who cannot demonstrate evidence of immunity. Adults born before 1957 do not need the vaccine, however.

TL;DR in English: Administer MMR to children at 12-15 months and 4-6 years of age. Ensure teens are up to date on their MMR vaccine. Vaccinate adults who are not immune.

The initial shock of the eight word induction will fade if not followed up with a script that takes him into a deeper state of hypnosis. For this, follow up in a calm tone with a couple of sentences asking the subject to fall into a deeper sleep.  The two best ways to deepen the hypnosis are described below: rocking the head and performing a countdown. Pick whichever you are most comfortable with; rocking the head will require some physical contact with the subject. If the subject is positioned so that he falls over into a slump after you pull away his hand, some hypnotists will begin to rock the subjects head with their hands to induce a more relaxed state. As you do that, you can tell him to let his neck relax and let that feeling of relaxation spread throughout his body. Tell him to let his mind and body relax until he falls into a deep sleep. Tell him, for example: "As I rock your head you will go deeper and deeper into a trance. The more I rock your head the deeper you go, the deeper you go the better you feel, the better you feel the deeper you go ... " Tell him that he will become more relaxed as you count down from 1 to 5. Every time you count down a number, describe to him how he is felling. “1, the relaxation is spreading through your body. 2, the relaxation is getting deeper. 3, your mind is becoming relaxed. 4, you no longer feel anything but the sense of relaxation. 5, your relaxation is getting deeper with every passing second.”  Alternatively try something like: “10, you feel yourself relaxing. 9, going deeper and deeper. 8, doing excellently, keep going. 7, with each number I say you will be in a deeper trance. 6, deeper, excellent. 5, farther and farther, relax completely now. 4, 3, you're doing well. 2, even farther away from the world. 1, 0. You are now in a deep trance.” Shortly before you try to awake him, tell him that it is almost time to “wake up” and “become more aware.” To make the transition peaceful, indicate how he will feel when he comes out of hypnosis.  Tell him that when he...

If you feel like you have tried everything on your own and need to talk to someone higher up, then it’s time to arrange a meeting with a supervisor to discuss the problems you’re having with your boss. There’s no point in delaying the inevitable if you feel like you really can’t work together with your boss. If you’ve tried everything and know that your relationship has reached a dead end, then it’s time to talk to your supervisor about the situation. Don’t be nervous, and stick to discussing the facts instead of getting emotional. The more concrete examples you have, the more respect you’ll get. Make sure you use professional language and avoid bad-mouthing your boss in front of your supervisor. You don’t want to say something that makes your supervisor lose respect for you, too. Remember that you want to look like the calm, reasonable one, and that your boss is the one who has been causing all the problems. If you truly feel that you’ve been discriminated against because of your age, race, gender, or something else beyond your control, then it may be time to take action. You can consult the EEOC for free, or seek out an employee attorney for a fee if you think you’ve been discriminated against and are in a protected class. Don’t be nervous about taking this measure if this is what’s happening; though it won’t be pleasant, this may be the best way to meet your needs. If you’ve witnessed fraud at your company and want to take action, remember that the False Claims Act requires you to first file your claim before you disclose it publicly. One option that isn’t as extreme as leaving your company but which can make you a lot happier at your workplace is to see if you can be transferred to a different department, or even transferred to a different boss. If you’re truly having trouble with your boss and your supervisors or other people at the company completely understand where you’re coming from, then they may be willing to accommodate your needs. If you make it pretty clear that you won’t be able to stay on if...

This is usually easy. If you are a book publisher, then look on the manuscript or at the cover letter. It should state who owns copyright. Authors also reserve film and TV rights to their works, so if you want to turn a book into a movie or television show, then the owner of the copyright should own those rights. An author might already have been approached by a producer to turn a book in a movie. If so, the author might already have assigned those rights to someone. You can check with the U.S. Copyright Office.</ref>https://www.nyfa.edu/student-resources/how-to-option-the-film-rights-for-a-book/</ref>  You can search the U.S. Copyright Office online at http://www.copyright.gov/records/. Search for both pre-1978 and post-1978 records. You will be able to find more post-1978 records, but it’s important to search both time frames. If you see that the author has already assigned the rights to someone else, then you are out of luck. You should call the author to confirm that they own the rights and that the rights are available. There’s no point negotiating for the rights with someone if they are not available. If you are a producer, then you will need to find a telephone number. Look at the copyright registration. If you can’t find a phone number, then contact the book’s publisher.

TL;DR in English: Find out who owns the copyright. Check that copyright hasn’t been assigned. Call the author.
