Be prepared for future run-ins. Avoid bad-mouthing your ex among your mutual social circles. Find closure with the relationship.

New York legal procedures when children are involved are quite complex. It is best for you and your spouse to agree on issues of property, custody, and visitation before you begin to prepare the mountain of forms. Consider summarizing your agreement in a memo that you and your spouse both sign and date. It may prevent arguments further into the procedure. There are 17 forms required to complete an uncontested divorce with children in New York. These forms can be downloaded as Microsoft Word documents or as .PDF files for printing.  The state has also compiled a detailed instruction book that details how to fill out the forms field by field.  As you complete the forms, one or both spouses can elect to be restored to an unmarried surname. This includes couples that elected to legally hyphenate their names when they married. A divorce decree will allow reissue of driver's licenses, social security cards, and voter registration. Nothing in the law prevents you from having help, either your spouse, someone else, or a paid preparer to complete the divorce package. Type or print the forms neatly in black ink. This enables the forms to be copied and scanned clearly. Even if you and your spouse are agreeing to a different amount, you must still file a completed worksheet to show what the payment would be under the law. The judge will only deviate from the presumptive amount on a showing that there will be adequate support for the children. You must also complete a Medical Support Order stating that the parents will enroll the children in employer health care when it is available. You and your spouse can work on the worksheet together, you can exchange it with each of you filling out your part, or you can estimate your spouse's income and expenses. Note, if you estimate it, your spouse can contest the amount and delay the divorce. It is better to cooperate. Most of the documents require your signature, some of them in front of a notary public. There are also places for your spouse to sign for an uncontested divorce....

TL;DR in English: Verify that the divorce is uncontested. Review the legal forms and instructions. Complete the child support worksheet. Sign and notarize the documents. Determine if service is needed before you file. File for an index number and calendar your divorce. Receive your final divorce decree.

One of the cornerstones of helping a depressed child is unconditional love and support from their parents and family members. Remind your child that you are there to talk and help them in any way you can, even if what they say is unpleasant.  Keep in mind that it is important to reinforce your statements about love and support by repeating them to your child often. Even if your child doesn’t believe them, saying them is important. Remind yourself that your child’s inactivity or inability to engage is not because of laziness, but a disease. This can help you be more understanding and supportive of their problems. Avoid telling your child to “snap out of it” at any time. No person would ever choose to be depressed and your child would likely “snap out of it” if they could. Teachers and other educational professionals are there to promote your child’s welfare. Keeping educational professionals in the loop about what your child is experiencing can ensure that they give your child a little extra love and support, too. Remember that educational professionals are also required to keep the information about your child’s depression confidential, so your child shouldn’t have to worry about other students or parents finding out.  Let teachers, administrators, and schools nurses know about any problems at school that contribute to your child’s depression. Also let them know about any medication your child takes and side effects it may cause. Ask teachers to consider giving your child less homework or being more understanding if your child doesn’t finish their homework because of the depression. Regular activity can increase the levels of serotonin in the brain. This can help relieve the symptoms of depression and help your child relax. Encourage your child to do some type of activity every day or incorporate it into the family routine, which can also help to boost your child’s mood.  Allow your child to do any physical or creative activities they enjoy. This could be going for walks, biking, swimming, or even jumping on...

TL;DR in English: Offer your child unconditional support. Inform your child’s school. Encourage daily activity or exercise. Feed your child healthy meals. Ensure your child isn’t using alcohol or drugs. Reduce your child’s stress. Promote healthy sleep patterns.

If you live in the same city, go to the same school, or have the same social circles, it is much more likely that you may run into your ex unexpectedly from time to time.  Be prepared for the possibility of an encounter.  Think about what you might say.  Remember to keep it brief and respectful. Consider how you might respond to certain questions, such as, "Are you seeing anyone new?" or "What have you been doing since we last saw each other?" Think about what you need to do to remain calm. If you know this encounter may be anxiety-provoking, have a friend or person to talk with after you meet you ex unexpectedly. If you were dating your ex for a while, you may have some mutual friends.  Avoid talking badly about your ex with friends of your ex.  Don't force them to choose sides.  If you need to vent about your ex, do so with people who don't know your ex.   Consider talking with people who already were good friends with you well before your ex was in the picture. If you're at a friend's party, and there are many friends of your ex there, keep the conversation light. Avoid trying to start drama, or making people feel uncomfortable.  Most people don't want to feel "caught in the middle" of a break-up. Unexpected encounters with your ex will feel less stressful when you have moved on and found closure in your relationship.  Jumping into a new relationship may indicate that you've moved on, but finding closure is a separate and important thing.  Process what happened in your relationship.  Avoid self-blame or blaming your ex.  Understand that sometimes good people aren't right for each other.  And sometimes, the people you trust will hurt you. Take care of yourself, and focus on self-love.  Do things that make you feel better about life after your ex, and help you to focus on the future. Consider talking with a counselor for an outsider's perspective.   If you become very anxious and overwhelmed in these unexpected moments, a counselor can help to teach you about healthy coping skills. Talk with your friends and...

It is important to know the exact size of your feet when purchasing shoes. Once at a shoe store, you can ask a sales associate to assist you in proper foot measurement so that you can find shoes that fit you correctly.  Wearing shoes that are even just a half size off can make for a very painful outing. Your poor tootsies will be in pain and your leg muscles will be very sore.  Make sure your toenails are trimmed so that they do not scratch your toes once your shoes are on. Many fashion shoes come in a standard medium width, but you may have feet that require a wider or more narrow fit. When you find a pair of shoes you love, see if they come in different widths.  A shoemaker can usually stretch the shoes to widen the toe box, enhancing the comfort of the shoe. If you have narrow feet, buy foot inserts that help your foot grip the shoe and fill up any extra space on the sides. Remember, not all shoes follow the same sizing standards. Two different pairs of shoes in the same size can fit you very differently. Shoes can run big or run small, so it is important that you always try them on in the store before you buy them. Also, the shape of the shoe can play a major factor in how they fit your feet. If the shoes pinch you even a little when you are trying them on, do not buy them. It will only get worse. If you are purchasing shoes in a store, try on the shoes and walk around in them for two minutes. This will be enough time for you to feel if they are causing you any discomfort. If they fail the two-minute test, you should probably find a pair of heels that is more comfortable. It feels great to find inexpensive merchandise, but shoes are not an item you want to skimp on. Do your research before purchasing shoes, especially high heels, and make sure they are a trusted brand. Your feet are the foundation of your body and it is important that they receive great care and stay healthy.

TL;DR in English: Get your feet measured and sized. Find out the shoe width. Always try the shoes on prior to purchase. Test the shoes around the store. Buy quality shoes.

Dry lips tend to flake and exfoliating is a great way to remove this dry flaky skin. This will ensure that your lips will be smooth when you apply a moisturizing balm. Your toothbrush is a great tool for exfoliating your lips. You can run it over your lips a few times after brushing your teeth or apply some lip exfoliator to it and use it to help slough off dead skin.  Make sure that you use a soft toothbrush or the bristles may be too hard on your lips. Don’t scrub too hard either. Just gently move the brush around your lips. Rinse and pat dry your lips when you finish and then apply some of you favorite lip balm to moisturize them. Exfoliating your lips too often can irritate them and this could lead to dryness, so do not exfoliate your lips more than twice per week. If your lips seem irritated with this schedule, then only exfoliate them once per week or even every other week.

TL;DR in English: Use a toothbrush. Repeat no more than twice per week.

Once you have determined what the problem is you can extend an offer to help. Make sure that your offer is genuine--do not offer to help if you are unable to or do not sincerely want to. Instead, extend an sincere and concrete offer of assistance. For example, your elderly mother might be having difficulty taking care of her home. Ask her if she would like you to hire a cleaning service or help her find an assisted care living situation. Being empathetic means that you try to put yourself in the other person's shoes. Once you know why this person is cranky, try to think about how you would feel in their situation. Then try to determine what would make you feel better. Elderly people are often lonely and this can account for their unfriendly disposition. Offer your company, and suggest an activity the two of you can do together, such as playing a card game. You might not be able to solve the other person's problem. Especially if you do not know the elderly person well, the situation might be out of your hands. What you can do instead is ask for assistance. Try reaching out to close friends or relatives of the elderly person to see what they suggest. Most cities have senior centers where older people can go for recreational activities. Other organizations, such as churches and libraries, also offer programs geared towards seniors. You could look up some local resources and provide that information to your neighbor or relative. This could be potentially very helpful and go a long way towards lifting their mood. It can be very draining to deal with a cranky senior citizen. The most important thing you can do is to remain positive. Remember that you are doing a good thing by being kind and helpful. Even if your help is not obviously appreciated, you are probably making an impact. Smile. When it is difficult to remain positive, try putting a smile on your face. Even if it feels false at first, the simple act of smiling will make you feel better and help you maintain a good attitude.

It's best to ensure that your Android has a constant power source during the restore process. This will also help make sure that your Android wasn't just low on power. These are the most common buttons to enter Recovery Mode for Android, but some devices use a different combination. If you're using a Samsung Galaxy device, press and hold Power + Volume Up + Home You'll see the Android mascot and a text menu appear on the screen. If your device still does not power on and display the recovery menu, and you've done everything else in this article, it may be time for a replacement. Pressing these will let you scroll through the options. The Power button selects your highlighted menu option.  This confirms the restore and begins the wiping process. All of the data will be erased during the reset. This may take 20 minutes or so to complete. Once the restore is complete, you'll be taken through the new device setup. If you log back in with your Google account, all of your Google Cloud data will be restored, such as contacts and calendar data.

Doing even moderate exercise three to four times a week can help your body stay healthy and reduce the demands placed on your heart. Talk to your doctor about an exercise program that will work with your fitness level. If you are overweight or out of shape, your doctor may suggest a light walking program to start and working up to jogging or running. Regardless of the type of cardio exercise you do, it’s important that you try to maintain a consistent workout routine where you are physically active at least three to four times a week. It can be difficult to stay motivated when you are trying to get fit, so seek the support of others and join a workout group or a sports club. Having a social component to your workout routine may help you stay motivated and monitor your progress. . If you do smoke and are diagnosed with heart problems or are overweight, you should try to quit smoking. If you don’t smoke, you should avoid secondhand smoke. Smoking damages your blood vessels and causes your blood pressure to spike, thereby reducing the amount of oxygen in your blood and making your heart work harder and beat faster. Your doctor may be able to recommend a program to help you quit smoking or another form of treatment. . Stress can cause your heart to beat faster, your breathing to be more heavy, and your blood pressure to rise. Being anxious, upset, or stressed out will only make your existing heart conditions worse. Look for ways to reduce stress in your life.

It’s your mistake and your responsibility. Therefore, you should also be wholly involved in resolving the issue. While taking the lead on fixing things would be the best case scenario, keep in mind that your boss may not allow this. Be flexible and agreeable if the boss wants you to work with others or is skeptical about you handling it alone. Stay positive even if you are getting negative feedback from around you. There was a mistake made and co-workers may comment about it, but your focus should be on making things right, not the drama around the office. Ask your boss for direction and do as you are told. This is a time to show you can take a bad situation and make it better—it may not be the most appropriate time to try to wing it. Taking criticism may be a part of this process. Remain open to suggestions and show your team you are truly sorry for what happened.  Work to not only fix the current problem, but also to make sure it doesn’t happen again. In order to rebuild your boss’s trust and rectify the problem, you must strive to go above and beyond what’s required. Be genuine in any offer you make. It is going to take time and effort to fix the mistake, depending how big of a mistake was made. Since you were the reason it happened, it makes sense that you would have to devote extra resources to seeing the problem resolved. Take the time to thank anyone else affected by the mistake who is now part of the solution. These people are having to do extra work to correct an error you made. Be sure to show that you respect and appreciate their efforts. This is a positive step for anyone who has a boss that now is under fire for the mistake. This in a small way shows you are willing to take responsibility and make those tough phone calls.

A pawn is promoted when it reaches the other side of the board. It will become a queen, rook, bishop, or knight. Once the pawn reaches the other side, you can replace it with the piece of your choosing.  Pawns are most commonly promoted to queens.  You can have more than one queen on the board.  You may say, "If your pawn makes it to the other side of the board, it can become a different piece. You can choose the piece that you turn it into. The queen is usually best." En passant happens when a player moves the pawn two spaces on the first movement and the pawn is next to the opponent’s pawn. If this happens, the opponent can use their pawn to capture your pawn. Your opponent must capture your pawn during the next move. If the pawn is not captured during the next move, your pawn can remain..  This move may never happen naturally. Set up the board to demonstrate how this happens.  A pawn can never be promoted to a king. Castling involves moving the king and the rook at the same time. If there is nothing between the king and the rook/castle and neither of the pieces have been moved yet, this move can happen. The king moves two spaces towards the castle and then the castle jumps to the other side of the king.  The king and the rook must be in their original positions to castle.  You cannot castle if the king is in check.

TL;DR in English: Explain pawn promotion. Explain en passant. Explain what the term "castling" means.

Now that you're following Starbucks' Four Fundamentals of brewing, it's time to select a brewing method. There are three general methods Starbucks uses (technically four, but two of them are just versions of the same thing). These are: coffee press, traditional drip coffee, and pour over (which can be either hot or iced). Coffee press is the method of brewing most strongly advocated by coffee connoisseurs, as it is believed to be the most effective at staying true to the flavor profile of the beans.  A coffee press requires a coarse grind, so be sure your grounds resemble the size of sea salt. Fill the press with your grounds, then pour hot water (just off the boil) over the grounds, making sure to completely saturate them. Place the plunger back on the press but wait four minutes before pressing it down, giving the coffee time to brew. After you've pressed the plunger down, enjoy your coffee! Drip brewing is perhaps the most convenient method of brewing. You can make multiple cups of coffee in a single brew, and you can do it fast. With the right grind, quality of beans, and pure, fresh water, you can make a brew that rivals that of a coffee press.  For flat-bottom filters be sure to use a medium-sized grind, like the sea salt grind used for a coffee press. Meanwhile, cone-shaped filters are best with a finer grind, like granulated sugar. After you've got your grind right, just measure out your coffee (2 tablespoons for every six ounces of water) and press "Brew" on the machine! While the convenience is tempting, if you want Starbucks-quality coffee every time, only make however much coffee you need for one sitting. Don't reheat coffee or you will dull the flavor. Another, perhaps lesser-known but equally satisfying, method Starbucks uses is the pour-over, which can be either hot or iced. With the pour-over, you can only make a single cup of coffee, but it will be wonderful.  Boil your water, remembering the 2:6 ration from above, but adding a little extra. Use this extra hot water to moisten your filter....

TL;DR in English: Select the brewing method that works for you. Use a coffee press. Use a traditional drip coffeemaker. Use a pour-over method.

The concentrates won't mix well frozen, so take them out of the freezer and let them thaw completely. You can speed the process along by running the cans under a stream of warm water. When the concentrate is soft enough to remove from the cans, pour it into a large bowl.  Try cherry lemonade or strawberry lemonade concentrate to change the flavor and color of your fruit punch. Or substitute frozen concentrate with liquid concentrate. Use any juice you like: cherry, apple, grape, and so on. Pour the water and sugar into a small saucepan and bring the mixture to a full boil. Allow it to boil for about three minutes, until the sugar has dissolved completely into the water. You now have a simple syrup that will easily mix with the fruit punch to add just the right amount of sweetness. Allow it to cool completely.  If you like your fruit punch extra sweet, make 2 cups simple syrup. You can skip the simple syrup entirely if you'd prefer not to add extra sugar. Pour the simple syrup into the bowl and use a long-handled spoon to stir the mixture until everything is thoroughly incorporated. Pour the sodas into the bowl and give the mixture another quick stir. Don't over stir, since you want the punch to stay carbonated. If you're not serving the fruit punch immediately, store the fruit juice mixture in the refrigerator, and wait until the last minute to add the sodas. That way the punch will be carbonated when you serve it. Punch is usually served in a large glass bowl with a ladle you can use to portion it among small cups. If you'd like, keep the punch cold by pouring it over a few trays' worth of ice cubes. Here are a few other serving suggestions:  Make fruit punch ice to keep the punch from getting diluted as the ice melts. Just make an extra batch of punch and freeze it using regular ice cube trays, then add the punch ice cubes to the punch when you're ready to serve it. If the punch is for a themed party, get creative with your ice! Try making an ice ring (freeze punch or water in a bundt cake pan), an ice hand...

Recognize that social development starts at birth. Show your child that you love them. Embrace your child with support and security. Allow your child to interact with multiple people of different ages. Arrange “play dates” at a young age.

Start at the bottom eyelets. Crisscross the laces. Tie your shoe.

Be realistic. It is better to block out more time than less. If you finish early, you can use your bonus time for another subject. Remember that if you have extra time left over, you can reward yourself by doing something other than homework. This is an optimal dynamic scheduling policy.  If it is humanly possible to meet all the deadlines, earliest deadline first policy will work.  That means, if you get a new assignment due the next day, you need to suspend all work due in 2 days and work on the next day's assignment.  However, if you cannot meet any deadlines, you will miss them randomly with EDF. To solve this problem, if you cannot meet all the deadlines, use a static priority rate-monotonic policy.  Find the course that releases new homework the most frequently, and list it the highest (do the work first), and so forth.  This is mathematically optimal among all static-priority scheduling policies.  In other words, if ANY static priority scheme can meet all the deadlines, the rate-monotonic static priority scheme will meet all the deadlines, too.  When the static priority scheme misses deadlines, it is deterministic - the lowest priority class assignments will be skipped, so it behaves predictably when you are overloaded. If certain assignments have the same due date, then start with the one(s) that are hardest or will take the longest. Look at your assignments and consider how much time you need to devote to each. Find time in your homework schedule to get it done, preferably a day early.  If you have a five-page English paper due on Friday, evenly spread the total amount of hours you believe it is going to take to complete the paper between each day. This will stop you from getting too overwhelmed and frustrated during long stretches of homework time and will help you to keep your mind focused. A ten-minute break for each hour of homework done is a good guideline. Use this time to stretch, wash your face, walk around the block, unload the dishwasher for your parents, get something to drink, or do...

TL;DR in English: Estimate how much time will be needed to complete each assignment. Prioritize Using the Earliest Deadline First (EDF) Policy. Break down your homework time. Write in break times. Stick with the schedule. Avoid procrastination.

Many people think that social development starts around the time that children enter school, because that is when they are interacting with other children the most. Although this is when they begin "using" social skills, social development actually starts much earlier. In fact, it starts during infancy. Lots of pats, hugs, nice words, praise and encouragement let your child feel special and loved. When you satisfy their need for love, they learn, through example, how to love others and to return love and attention. Young children are totally dependent on you. When frightened or insecure, they will shrink back to you and ask for protection. Respond to this need and offer them protection so they learn to trust you and develop faith in other people. A parent can support the development of strong social skills by allowing interaction with multiple people of different ages. Although the baby may seem too young to be aware of the differences, they are actually very sensitive to the smell and touch of the people that hold them.  Allowing your baby to stay with a family member or babysitter for a few hours at a time will help them learn that there are other people they can rely on aside from their immediate family. This early support will also help lessen the separation anxiety that children usually go through when they are a little older. Another way to support social development in an infant is to arrange play dates even before they are able to crawl or sit up. This is as simple as putting two non-sibling babies near each other for “tummy time” on a blanket on the floor. Although very young children do not seem to interact or play with each other, they are aware that the other child is nearby and are actually in the beginning stages of developing empathy, a very important social skill.  Often, if one baby is cooing and happy, the other baby will seem to copy this. The same is true if one baby is fussy and crying. Parents can also support the development of empathy by copying the baby’s emotions, cooing in response...

When you’re lacing your shoes, you should always begin with the eyelets closest to the toes. That allows you to pull the laces from one set of eyelets at a time to tighten them and provide the most comfortable fit. Push the tips of the laces through the pair of eyelets and adjust until the length is equal on both sides.  Whatever method you use to finish the ends of your shortened laces, make sure you’ve give them proper time to dry or cool before lacing your shoes. Many shoes features two rows of parallel eyelets, with one set closer to the shoe’s tongue and one further. For wide feet, use the eyelets closest to the tongue to provide more space for the foot. If you have narrow feet, lace the shoes through the eyelets furthest away from the tongue to bring up the shoe for a closer fit. While you can lace your shoes in a variety of ways, crisscrossing the laces over one another works well for most people. Once you’ve threaded the lace through the bottom eyelets, pull the right side across to place it through the next highest eyelet on the left side and do the same to the left to the right. Continue alternating all the way until the final set of eyelets. Crisscrossing your laces usually provides the most comfort because the shoelace crossover happens in the space between the two sides of the shoe, so they aren’t pressed against your foot. You should do it as normally would, but because you’ve shortened the lace, you shouldn’t need to double knot or tie the lace. When it’s knotted, you’ll be able to tell if you’ve trimmed it sufficiently. If you haven’t cut enough of the lace off, trim a little bit more and repeat the steps for finishing the tips.

If the scratch is deep, you may need to repeat the process a few times. If you don't have non-abrasive toothpaste you can make a paste from baking soda and water. Put baking soda in a bowl and mix in small amounts of water until you have a thick paste. Rub the paste on the same way you did the toothpaste, and rinse it off when you think the scratch is gone. If you cannot remove it all with a rag or a cotton ball, rinse the lenses with cool water and wipe dry with a non-abrasive rag. Try buffing the scratched plastic glasses with brass or silver polish and a soft rag. Rub the polish around on the glasses and wipe any excess off with a clean, soft rag. Repeat until the scratch is gone. Be careful of your glasses frames when using a cleaner that is not made for glasses. Try not to get any on your frames because it is unknown what the cleaner will do to the frames. If you still have visible scratches on the surface of your plastic lenses you can apply a product that will fill the scratches temporarily with wax.  Simply rub on the product onto the lenses using a clean micro-fiber cloth, rub it around in a circular motion, and then wipe it off with a clean area of the cloth. This will allow you to see clearly through your glasses but will need to be reapplied weekly. The two types of products that work best for this are products made to wax your car, such as Turtle Wax, and furniture polishes that contains wax, such as Lemon Pledge. You should be able to see much better through your newly repaired lenses.

TL;DR in English: Clean the surface of your lenses in order to determine where the scratches actually are. Apply scratch remover to your lenses. Wipe off any excess scratch remover. Try another cleaner if toothpaste or baking soda did not work. Apply a scratch filling product if scratches remain. Put your glasses back on!

Rub the sandpaper in circles, pressing firmly. Sand a little beyond the original damage, even if it means peeling away a small amount of clear coat that is still in decent condition.  If the pigmented paint below the clear coat is still in good shape, don’t scrub so hard that you remove it as well. If the clear coat is already gone, skip this initial sanding and go straight to wet sanding and cleaning. Use 2000 grit sandpaper that’s been soaking in water for an hour. Smooth out the transition lines between your repair area and the surrounding clear coat. Keep the sandpaper wet by dipping it in water as needed. Straighten out or square off the work area when you can, as this will make it easier to tape off the area later. Use an alcohol-based cleaner, like glass cleaner, to clean the area you just sanded. Follow this up with a solvent-based paint prep cleaner, which will either come with your chosen clear coat repair kit or be found alongside the clear coat sprays. These pads are similar to the ones you might use on your dirty pots and pans in the kitchen, and are available at automotive supply retailers. Don’t use steel wool or sandpaper. You just want to give the pigmented paint a slightly rough texture.  Clean the area afterward with the solvent-based cleaner. Skip this step if the paint is already scuffed up from your earlier sanding. Stick the tape to your pants and peel it away once or twice to make it less sticky. Create a taped-off area around the removed clear coat that's slightly larger than the actual damaged area. Use plastic sheeting and more tape to expand the outside of the protective zone, so that your clear coat spray only lands on the car where intended. Shake the can as instructed on its label. Also refer to the label for the optimal spraying distance and motion. Keep moving as you spray so that you create an even layer. Let this first coat dry for at least 5 minutes, or for the time recommended on the can. You may be instructed to go over each dried coat with very fine sandpaper (e.g., 1500...

TL;DR in English: Scrub the damaged area with 1000 grit sandpaper. Wet sand the transition between your work area and the remaining clear coat. Clean the clear coat-free area with alcohol and solvent-based cleaners. Scuff the cleaned area with a fine grit, woven scuffing pad. Tape off the work area with easy-to-remove masking tape. Spray the aerosol can of clear coat onto the surface. Apply a second layer of clear coat in the same manner. Blend in the repaired area with the surrounding car finish.

When you're training a lot, you need to make sure you get plenty of calories for energy, but eating too much can create a layer of fat on your body that will obscure the muscles you're working so hard to build.  Choose vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated and ease your hunger pangs after working out. Protein helps build muscles, so it's recommended that you eat 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight while you're training.  Eat poultry, fish, beef, pork, eggs, nuts, seeds, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, milk, and other sources of protein to build your muscles. Beans, leafy greens, tofu, and other vegetarian sources of protein are also good choices. . Creatine is an amino acid naturally produced by the body to build big, strong muscles. Many bodybuilders take creatine supplements to help them achieve their training goals. Although it isn't approved by the FDA, creatine is considered to be safe when taken in 5-gram doses.  Choose a powdered creatine supplement that can be mixed with water and ingested several times a day. After an initial "loading" period during which you drink high amounts of creatine to build it up in your body, taper off to a maintenance dosage.

The insecticide will be more effective if it can reach the soil. Your insecticide should contain bifenthrin, and you can use either granules or a spray. Also, check to make sure your insecticide is meant for the outdoors. Insecticides can be dangerous, so follow any directions on the bottle. Spray near dawn or in the early evening. More ants will be out during that time. For granules, use push spreader. You'll need to water the lawn after applying the treatment. If you still have active ants, you can spray the yard again. Some granule treatments, such as fipronil insecticides, last for a year.

TL;DR in English: Mow the yard. Choose an insecticide. Read the manufacturer's instructions. Spray or spread the yard. Spray again in a month and a half.

This can be gold, copper, or silver wire. Measure the wire using a ruler, or do a rough estimate and cut roughly 3 inches (7.6 cm) without measuring. If in doubt, make the piece of wire longer as opposed to shorter—you can always trim off the ends if necessary.  The thickness and exact color of the wire is entirely up to you, but thinner wire is best as it allows you to easily manipulate it. Look for artistic wire at a craft or hardware store that comes in a small spool, as these are most often used for making jewelry. Flatten out the wire after it’s cut. Straightening it out will make the wire easier to work with. How many dents you create is up to you—space them out evenly or make the dents super close together so the ring appears to have stripes, if desired. Hold the wire steady in one hand and use your dominant hand to create small dents with round nose pliers. This is a great way to add style and a unique quality to your ring. Instead of using the pliers to make indentations in the wire, use them to bend the wire in different directions. As you hold the wire firmly in one hand, use the pliers to bend down on the wire. Continue by then bending the next section of wire upwards, switching back and forth between downwards and upwards motions to create a wave along the wire. If desired, you can make small indentations along the wire before creating a ripple effect as well. Pick out a few beads that you’d like to use on your ring, making sure they have a hole in them so they can slide down the wire. Once you’ve added the beads to the wire, create bends in the wire on both sides of the beads so that the beads stay in place.  For example, you might pick out one larger bead to be set in the middle of two smaller, identical beads. Pick out super tiny beads that can be strung along the entire wire if you want your ring to be completely beaded. After you’ve made your dents or ripples and added any beads, position the wire around a nail polish bottle handle. This will resemble your finger, letting you bend the ring...

TL;DR in English: Use pliers to cut 3 inches (7.6 cm) of wire from the spool. Use pliers to create indentations in the wire if you want a textured ring. Bend the wire to create a wavy pattern for an artsy ring. Add beads to the ring to add color or sparkle. Wrap the wire around the top of a nail polish bottle once the design is finished. Mark where you need to cut off the ends of the ring. Use pliers to cut the ring so it's the right size. Sand the edges of the wire so they're smooth.

Within the first 5 minutes of your interview, the interviewer will form an impression of you. This first impression tends to stick and can be extremely difficult to change, especially in the very short time you have with the interviewer.  For example, if you come to an interview for a sales representative position but act all shy and timid, the interviewer will have the first impression that you are not as outgoing as you say you are. At that point, no matter how much you give examples or try to explain your ability to do the job, the interviewer will still see you as shy and timid. Therefore, you want to try your best to be yourself and show off your good qualities that will help you fit in with the company and present yourself as the best person for the job. If you practice interviewing and prepare answers to questions the interviewer might ask, you will feel more relaxed during the real thing. This is due to the fact that you will be able to easily answer questions without too much thought. Just being able to sit down for a few moments prior to your interview will allow your mind to relax and put yourself into “interview mode”. Being able to relax during an interview is the most important step towards being yourself. Being relaxed during an interview means not letting your nerves get the best of you, which can prevent you from portraying yourself in the best way possible.  Skilled interviewers will try to relax candidates by starting off with a little “chit chat” before getting into the main part of the interview. This is great for both of you because it allows you to gain rapport and speak more freely in the main part of the interview. However, building rapport prior to the start of the interview and feeling comfortable with the interviewer is not guaranteed. Be confident and think positively. If you start thinking negatively, you will become more nervous. You have gotten this far, so now it is your chance to show them you are the right person for the job.

Many adults who have severely picky eating habits may be suffering from selective eating disorder. Most people with this disorder are embarrassed by their inability to expand their food preferences and will try to hide their issues by avoiding social events that involve food or by making excuses to avoid eating in front of others. Spitting food into a napkin or pretending to chew food are ways that people with this disorder often deal with eating in public around other people.  People with this disorder may also eat less than 20 different types of foods, associate certain foods with fear or anxiety and often rejects entire food groups, such as meat or vegetables.  Selective eating disorder can start when you are young and develop picky eating habits. It can then get worse as you get older and develop into an OCD like disorder.  Often, people with selective eating disorder will try to eat different foods but their associations to that certain food is so negative, they cannot force themselves to eat it. It’s important to speak to your physician if you find it difficult to adjust your eating habits despite trying several practical methods or solutions, like changing up your food options or preparing your food differently. Children who display picky eating habits should be encouraged to explore and try new foods. This will prevent them from developing more serious issues with food in adulthood. Whether you have selective eating disorder or simply have picky preferences, working with a registered dietitian can help you find options that work for you. A dietitian can work with you to find options that are within your acceptable foods and still help you balance your diet. They can also work with you to introduce new foods in new and interesting ways so that you are not immediately off-put by them. Bring your lists of your favorite foods and your deal-breaker foods to help your dietitian understand what you do and don’t like incorporated in your meals. There is no clear cure for picky eating, other than to practice...

TL;DR in English: Research selective eating disorder. Talk to your doctor if you feel your picky eating is out of control. Meet with a dietitian. Learn to cope with your picky food habits.

You can use them to make things more interesting, turning study into gameplay. If you are not the tech type, you can have an older sibling/parent/guardian make a game for you. . Put on some music that has catchy, relaxing tunes. Never use music or songs that have lyrics to them; they will divert your attention from and take your mind off of studying (unless you can zone out lyrics).  Something in the electronic music genres such as pop or jazz is also great for this. If you do not like music, you can keep thinking about a favorite scene in a book or movie that you like. Get together some healthy snacks to nibble on as you study. Allowing yourself a little nibble every now and then helps the study time to pass more pleasantly. Also, it is often effective if you use snacks as a form of treat for yourself every time you complete a part of the work.  Don't have a huge bag of chips - try to have something simple such as an apple or banana. Vitamin B is great but an occasional treat is okay like hard candy is fine because you don't need attention about that. Something with a lot of B vitamins such as nuts are great for studying because B vitamins are great for brain fun hours, no matter what.  Decorate your spot with favorite things like postcards, knick-knacks, figurines, notes from friends etc.  Even temporary spaces can be decorated with bits and pieces you keep in a portable box. But, try not to make your study area too distracting. The less clutter in your study area, the better. Nothing makes study more difficult than feeling uncomfortable as you sit and not being able to read the work properly.  This is especially true in the winter months.  It is also good to study near a window or natural light because that will have a bigger boost in energy than artificial light. Nothing sends a person to sleep faster than lack of air.  Get fresh air into your room regularly - even in winter!  Make sure it circulates, even if this means using a fan in winter to blow around warm air; this is better than stale, stagnant...

Have good temperature levels. Get cool or creative stationery and desk gear. Schedule time slots for study and other times for play. Look at your study from a different perspective. Realize that study is about more than the topic before you. Get a pet to encourage you! Take breaks. If you are doing word problems in math, change the problem to make it more interesting or even a bit silly. If you like music, create a short song about the general points of what you're studying. Make flash cards. Go over your notes and draw pictures. Make an easy retrieval table. If you are reading your textbook, use funny accents or weird voices. Use mnemonic devices. Make small posters that you can hang up around your room or around your house. If you need to study for a spelling test, eat alphabet cereal in the morning! Are you an IT/computer person? Pretend you're a teacher and create a test or quiz that you can take yourself or make your older sibling(s) and/or parent(s) take. If you have to take a test on some boring book in English class, try replacing the characters in the story with characters from video games, TV shows, or characters from any other forms of media if you can. Try a change of scenery. Just try your best, don't overtax yourself and you'll do well. The more fun, the more worthwhile! Try writing spelling words out 5 times.

Drill the other side of the toaster for a screw to fit in, this is where you are going to put the pig's tail.     Install the screw.     Make sure you shave off the end of the fuzzy wire just to be sure it won't heat up and potentially catch fire. Once shaved, it should be easy to tie the fuzzy wire to the screw you installed.     Attach the tail to the toaster's body.    While the method above may work well for you, there are some different options that you might wish to consider for attaching the features to the oven:  An alternative way to decorate the exterior of the toaster oven would be to use a hot glue gun to affix the nose to the middle of the window and the googly eyes to the metal area above the window of the oven. Instead of wood, use felt. Cut out two large circles from the pink felt. Use the craft wire to construct pointy piggy ears on top of the oven. Apply the wire with hot glue to the toaster and allow it to dry. Wrap the wire with the felt circles and secure around the base of the wire. Trim excess material if necessary.

You should identify areas that you may potentially be hired based on the languages you speak, your nationality and the job you perform. For example, if you speak English and French, you will want to look in those countries and Switzerland or Belgium. It is no longer very easy to travel to a country and apply for jobs while you are there. Most people should establish their training in their own country and apply for jobs or visas before going abroad. People with medical degrees, certain engineering degrees, entrepreneurs, investors and certain mechanics may be able to apply for an eased work permit or they may not be required to have a European work permit at all.  In the UK, investors, entrepreneurs, people with exceptional talent and some graduate students or graduate entrepreneurs can apply for a point-based visa system. For many of these categories, there are a limited number of visas, so make sure you apply early. Elsewhere in Europe, countries are either adopting a points-based system, like the UK, that awards a value based upon your skills and experience. This is a response to supplement the skills of an aging population. Many countries, such as Switzerland, specify that a company must sponsor a non-EU citizen. However, for certain positions, they may not be required to offer the job in their country beforehand. This is the most common path to get a skilled job in a European country, because your company will help you apply for the visa before you move. You can search for jobs by specific companies, or you can go online to job aggregate sites, like Monster, CareerBuilder and Indeed and look for jobs located in Europe. Many domestic programs are cheaper and well respected in Europe. Visit websites like eslemployment.com, teachaway.com, languagecorps.com to begin researching positions in EU and non-EU countries.

Many flashes come with a diffuser, which is a milky, translucent piece of plastic that you put over the flash. This helps soften the flash when you need to aim it at the subject but don’t want a harsh light. You can use opaque tape, a piece of white paper, or even a piece of a milk jug to diffuse your flash. Simply affix the material over the flash and take your photograph. Using a opaque but colored material, such as fabric, tape, or paper, to diffuse your flash will add color to the photo. You can create interesting color effects by playing around with different colored materials as a flash diffuser. Keep in mind that using a colored material may make your photo look unnatural, so this is best for when you want a unique photograph, rather than for standard portraits or landscapes. Placing an umbrella in front of your flash, so that your flash shoots through the umbrella, creates a more even light for your subject. This also softens the light and tones down the shadows and definition in your photograph.

While you can freeze cake layers for much longer, the quality will start to degrade after a few months. It will still be safe to eat for up to a year, though. Like whole cakes, layers thaw best in the refrigerator. However, individual layers may defrost a bit faster than whole cakes, so you may get away with only 12-16 hours in the fridge instead of 24 hours. Use the layers within 2 days, as they'll likely get stale after that. You don't need to let it warm up on the counter before you frost it. It will warm up while you're working with it. In fact, it's easier to frost a previously frozen cake layer because it doesn't create as many crumbs. After frosting, add any decorations you'd like, such as piping, sprinkles, or chocolate shavings.  It can still be lightly frozen in the center if you're frosting it on the counter. You may even be able to get away without doing a crumb layer of frosting. When you leave a frozen cake out on the counter, it tends to get mushy. Don't try to speed up the process by just leaving the cake layers on the counter.

Fig trees need a lot of direct sunlight to thrive. Pick any spot in your yard that gets year-round sunlight. Make sure there aren't any nearby trees or structures that will block the sun from reaching your fig tree. If temperatures drop below 10 °F (−12 °C), fig trees buried in the ground may struggle to survive. Planting your fig tree in a plastic container will help shelter it from the cold. Use a large plastic patio container relative to the size of your fig tree. If you do plant your fig tree in a plastic container, make sure you have somewhere sunny to put it. Dig the hole so it's as round and deep as the container. After you dig the hole, remove the fig tree from the container and set the roots into the hole. Then, fill the hole in with soil. Pack the soil down with your hands. Figs are hardy trees that can grow in most kinds of soil, as long as the soil has good drainage. Look for soil that contains sand, and avoid soil with a lot of clay in it. The compost will help the soil around your fig tree retain water. Do this whether your fig tree is planted in the ground or planted in a container. Repot your fig tree during the winter. To repot your tree, remove about one-quarter of the soil in the pot. Then, pull your fig tree up out of the pot and cut away the large roots on the outside of the clump of roots. Place your fig tree back in the same pot and fill it in with soil. Pack the soil down with your hands.

TL;DR in English: Choose a sunny spot to plant your fig tree. Plant your fig tree in a large plastic container if you live in a cold climate. Plant your fig tree in a hole the size of the container it came in. Plant your fig tree in well-draining soil. Mulch the soil around your fig tree with 3 inches (7.6 cm) of compost. Repot your fig tree every 3-5 years if it's planted in a container.

Your spine is a complex collection of joints, nerves, muscles, blood vessels and connective tissue. There are many structures that can generate pain if you move your back the wrong way or experience some trauma. Severe back pain can come on quickly, but it can sometimes go away quickly also (without any treatment whatsoever) because the body has a tremendous ability to heal itself. As such, be patient for a few hours if you experience a bout of bad back pain, avoid any strenuous activities and keep a positive attitude.  Signs and symptoms for which you should seek immediate medical attention include: muscle weakness and/or loss of sensation in your arms or legs, loss of bladder or bowel control, high fever, sudden weight loss.  Total bed rest is not a good idea for most types of back pain because some movement (even just brief, leisurely walks) is needed to stimulate blood flow and healing. If you are in a lot of pain, wait two to three days before resuming normal activities.  If your back pain is exercise related, then you may be working out too aggressively or with bad form — consult with a personal trainer. If you think your back pain is work related, then talk to your boss about switching activities or altering your work station —  such as a more supportive chair or a cushioned mat for underneath your feet. The application of ice is an effective treatment for essentially all acute (occurring in the last 24 – 48 hours) musculoskeletal injuries, including back pain. Cold therapy should be applied to the most painful part of your back in order to reduce the inflammation and numb the pain. Ice should be applied for 10 – 15 minutes every hour, then reduce the frequency as the pain and swelling subside.  Compressing the ice against your back with a stretchy bandage or elastic support will also help control the inflammation. Always wrap ice or frozen gel packs in a thin towel in order to prevent frostbite on your skin.  If you don't have any ice or gel packs, then use a frozen bag of veggies from your freezer....

Research each agency that you are interested in to ensure that they have signed successful petite models. Many agencies let aspiring models know who they have signed in the past, though you can also search for the agency name online to find out more. Focusing on agencies that are interested in petite models will heighten your chances of finding work. Open calls are times when new models can visit a modeling agency to find out if anyone is interested in representing them. This is a good way to find potential representation if you do not yet have an agent. You can look for local calls, or choose to travel to attend an open call. Though it depends on the agency’s requirements, typically you will need to bring a headshot, comp card, and a swim suit.  Open calls usually attract a lot of other aspiring models. Don’t be disappointed if nothing comes from your first few open calls. Make sure to dress nicely, be on time, be able to accept criticism, and have a working phone number if the agency decides to call you back. Find out if there is something you can change to get accepted in the future. Some agencies may not want to answer questions, so do not push your questions if the agency is not willing to comply. Send an email or thank you letter to the agent. Even if you are rejected, it is a good idea to send an email thanking the agent for taking his or her time to meet with you. The note or email should be short and thank them for their time. You never know when you will encounter this person in the future, so it is good to leave the person with a pleasant memory of you. Sign with the agent that seems most interested in you and offers the most opportunities. Make sure the agency can further your career before you commit to it. This may mean looking up reviews for the agency on the internet, asking others in the industry, and seeing if they have any successful clients. Be sure to review the contract carefully before signing it. Don’t make a commitment that you can’t stick with. Go-sees are meetings with professionals...

Place the citation directly after the information you wish to cite, inside any punctuation. Put a space between the author's name and the date, but don't use a comma.  For example: (Schmidt 1935). If you don't know the name of the author, use the name of the organization that published the text or a shortened version of the title in place of the author's name. For example: (Society for Psychical Research 1935) or (“Mystery of a Talking Wombat” 1935).  Don't include the author's name in parentheses if you've already mentioned it in the sentence with the citation. Instead, simply give the date (and page numbers, if applicable). For example: “John Schmidt (1935, 217-218) claimed that a talking wombat inhabited the walls of his Illinois farmhouse for over a decade.” If the work you're citing has 2 to 3 authors, place all their last names in parentheses before the date of publication.

It can get confusing if you're citing several authors who share surnames. Keep the distinction clear by placing the first initial of each author before their name in the citation. For example: (J. Schmidt 1935), (V. Schmidt 1972). If you're citing more than 1 text by the same author published in the same year, you will need to make a clear distinction between each publication. Do this by assigning lowercase letters to each publication and placing them after the date in your citations.  For example: (Schmidt 1935a), (Schmidt 1935b). Before assigning letters, alphabetize these sources by title (which is also how they will be listed in your bibliography). Assign the letters in order so that the...

Your style choices don't have to end with the clothes you wear. Consider your purse, earrings, jewelry, bracelets, and more when putting your outfit together. This is a great chance to be creative - if you're going for the classic Kylie black-and-white look, almost any color of accessory will go with your outfit. The Jenner sisters especially like oversize black leather purses and handbags. However, at red carpet events, they've been known to bring along small, swanky pocketbooks that match the color of their dress. Good makeup can be the cherry on top of a perfect outfit. It's rare to see either of the Jenner sisters overly-made-up, so keep the mantra "less is more" in mind when applying your own makeup. Kylie likes to go for a minimally-made up with light highlights around the eyes and some shiny lipgloss. Occasionally, she'll go bold with some bright red or crimson lipstick - if you want to go for the 1940s pinup look, go for it! When in doubt, skimp on the makeup when applying it and bring it with you - you can always put more on later! Not surprisingly, Kylie and Kendall's biggest fashion role-models are their sisters! Kourtney, Kim & Khloe are international fashion icons in their own right - watch "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" or any of its spin offs for plenty of fashion ideas from the Jenner and Kardashian sisters! Warning - "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" began airing in 2007. Fashion trends have changed substantially since then - in the sisters' own words, fashion choices in the early episodes were not always good ones.

Discuss and agree on an amount of time per day or week that you won’t go over when playing the game, or any video game, if your parents are concerned about how the content affects you based on how much you play. Let them know that if you get the game, you’ll stick to this time limit. Show them that you can play games in moderation. Promise all A’s or B’s on your next report card, or a similar goal for your grades, if they will get you the game. Agree on certain chores you will do every week or month in exchange for being able to get the game. You can say, “I’ll take out the trash and load the dishwasher every day, and vacuum every week, if I can have the game,” or something similar that you and your parents can agree on. Tell them you will not play on school nights, you will not play until you finish ALL your homework, and you will keep your grades up. Rent the game from a library, video store, Redbox, or invite a friend over who has the game. Tell your parents they can watch you play the game for a certain amount of time. If they are okay with what they see, they let you buy it; if they’re not okay with it, you will agree on a time when you can rent it and ask them again. You can also show them screenshots of the game online; they might be convinced by them alone. Discuss and agree with your parents on a location of the house that you will always play the game if they let you get it. Letting them keep an eye on you in exchange for getting the game can be worth it, because they will likely stop paying attention after a time and let you play in peace. Let your parents know they can use whatever parental controls are available on the device you play on, as long as you can have the game. They may be able to restrict access to the internet, the ability to make purchases, or even control how long you play and what friends you play with. Consider that it could be worth it to sacrifice a small amount of your freedom in order to get the game you want. You might also impress your parents by being upfront about these...

If you haven’t already, discuss your insomnia with a doctor to make sure there is no treatable medical reason for your poor sleep. There is a long list of conditions that can cause symptoms that mimic insomnia, from anxiety and depression, to hyperthyroidism, Lyme disease, and heart conditions.  Your insomnia could be caused by obstructive sleep apnea, a common condition in people who snore. This condition occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat are relaxing so much that your airway narrows for 10-20 seconds, preventing you briefly from getting air. Your brain will wake you so you can get more air, over and over again throughout the night causing disrupted sleep.  Go over your medications with your doctor, as some may interfere with your sleep. This includes mentioning anything herbal, alternative, or over the counter that you might be taking.  Be sure to tell your doctor if you have any pain that is preventing you from sleeping. Your doctor may recommend cognitive behavioural therapy, completing sleep journals, or relaxation training to sort out your sleep. Though you may be tempted to take a quick nap during the day, and many people can do so effectively, napping may be counterproductive for the insomnia sufferer.  If you must nap, maximize it at 30 minutes and don’t nap after 3 pm. Stick to as regular a sleep schedule as possible, waking and going to bed at the same time each day, even on weekends. Sleep experts agree that your bed should be used only for sleep and sexual intimacy so keep the computers and TV out of your bedroom.  Have black-out curtains to keep your room dark at night. Keep your bedroom cool. Being too warm prevents you from falling soundly asleep. Studies have shown that wearing a cooling cap at night reduces time to fall asleep and increases length of sleep.  Use a white noise machine or fan to drown out inconsistent environmental noises and create a comforting atmosphere. Both supplements are touted as facilitating sleep. Just be sure to not take them too early before bed...

TL;DR in English: See a doctor. Avoid or limit naps. Make your bedroom sleep friendly. Try melatonin or valerian root at night. Learn to cope with the stress that causes insomnia. Go for acupuncture.

You can use tap water or filtered water if you prefer. Measure out the water and add it to the pan. Then, turn the heat up to medium-high and bring the water to a boil. Once the water has been absorbed, turn off the heat. Leave the lid on the pot and set a timer for 10 minutes. The bulgur will be ready to eat after the time is up.  The bulgur will be very hot once it finishes cooking. If you want it chilled, place it into the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours or longer. Bulgur will keep well in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

TL;DR in English: Bring 1 1⁄3  c (320 mL) of water to boil in a sauce pan. Let the bulgur sit for 10 minutes with the cover on before serving it.

A bad boss is one who is intentionally mean or unethical and is not receptive to dealing with you in an honest and open way. A bad relationship is an inability to communicate or work together to achieve mutually-beneficial goals. When you approach your situation with your boss, you should focus on the relationship instead of the person. This will help you keep your cool and to find a productive way to address the situation. Before you go and blame your boss for all of the problems in your relationship, you should ask yourself whether or not there are aspects of your own performance that can be improved. You may feel like you're acting perfectly, but you should make sure that you're actually meeting the goals you were supposed to meet, pulling your weight with projects, and communicating effectively. Ask yourself if there's anything you can do to improve your own behavior, and if that could be leading to some of the problems you're having with your boss. Of course, maybe your boss really is completely unreasonable and there's nothing you can do to improve how he or she treats you. But it's better to have your bases covered, just in case. A healthy dose of humor can help you approach your relationship with your boss and to not take the whole thing too seriously. Though there may not be anything funny about workplace conflict, you have to take a step back and remind yourself that, at the end of the day, your work is not your whole life and that you have plenty of meaningful relationships and outside interests apart from the workplace that give your life meaning. The next time your boss frustrates or just plain annoys you, learn to laugh about it, brush it off, and not to take it so darn seriously all the time. Of course, if your boss is downright offensive, discriminatory, or acting ridiculously out of line, then there's nothing funny about it. But learning to laugh off some of the run-of-the-mill everyday annoyances can help you improve your attitude about your relationship. Though you may be tempted to slander...

Play games to pass the time with family. Have a fashion show with friends. Do arts and crafts to get in touch with your creative side. Play with your pet to give them some exercise. Read a good book to make the time pass on your own. Do some writing for self-reflection. Talk to your friends and family.

Make sure that the stitches you make match the boxes on your pattern. It may be helpful to cross off rows as you complete them, in order to not lose track of where you are. You can just tie off the yarn at the end of your last row but there are a variety of stitches you could use to end your piece but a simple blanket stitch will do just fine. If you just want to tie off your project, cut your yarn off a few inches after your last stitch while your hook is still in the last loops. Pull the end through the loops and tie it into a knot. Then weave the end of the yarn into the last line of stitches with a yarn needle, hiding the end of the yarn from view. Stitch together any separate pieces, if your project has multiple parts and trim any stray ends of yarn. Remember that your tapestry crochet project may need special care if laundered, as each yarn requires specific handling.

TL;DR in English: Crochet the rest of your pattern, switching between colors as your pattern dictates. Fasten off the edge of your project with a simple or decorative border. Enjoy your finished product!

Waivers are available only for certain people, depending on why you were found ineligible. You should read your denial letter, which will tell you if you are eligible to apply for a waiver. Generally, waivers are available for most grounds of inadmissibility for nonimmigrant visa applicants. Your denial letter will tell you the precise steps you need to take in order to apply for a waiver. Take out your copy and read it. If you have questions, you can call the number on the letter. If you have questions, contact the consular officer at the U.S. Consulate or Embassy where you applied. Some applicants for a nonimmigrant visa will have to complete Form I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility. You can download the form and its instructions from the USCIS website.  Once you complete the application, you should make a copy for your records. You must pay a $585 filing fee. Make your check or money order payable to “U.S. Department of Homeland Security.” Don’t use other abbreviations. Since fees are subject to change, you should call 1-800-375-5283 to check the current fee. Most people requesting a waiver for a nonimmigrant visa will not complete Form I-601. Instead, they will need to draft a letter explaining their need to travel to the U.S. The letter should include the following:  dates of arrival and departure how many times you intend to enter the U.S. the facts surrounding the reason you were denied a visa You might submit letters from references who can attest to your good character or reputation. For example, you might seek letters from the following people, which you can include with your letter:  past and present employer colleagues other people who know you You may need to provide the consulate with additional documents, depending on your situation. For example, you might have to provide the following:  certified copies of your criminal record (if you were denied on grounds of criminal inadmissibility) a psychological evaluation, if appropriate evidence of rehabilitation, e.g., proof of...

Grab your favorite board game or a deck of cards, some candles or flashlights, and play against your friends or family. You could also try charades, 20 Questions, I Spy, or invent your own game. Raid your closet, or ask your parents and friends for permission to look in theirs, and use flashlights as spotlights. Throw on some fancy clothes and shoes, and don’t forget to accessorize! You could even practice a new makeup technique, like contouring. Dress up however you want--after all, you won’t be going outside anytime soon! It could be as simple as laying out some sheets of paper and a box of crayons or markers, painting with watercolors, or making a collage. Use your free time to tap into your creativity, or keep kids entertained with drawing or coloring books. If you’re cooped up indoors, then your dog or cat probably is too! Pull out a couple feathers or a piece of string to play with your kitty, or have a small-scale game of fetch with your dog. When they’re all tired out, let them cuddle up with you and relax. If you’re stranded with no friends and no power, curl up with a flashlights, some candles, and a good book. Choose a new bestseller or a classic you haven’t gotten around to, or re-read one of your old favorites. If bored kids are around, gather them for some story time. Light candles to set a cozy, warm mood. Journal, write a poem, or start drafting a story. Let the rain help you feel introspective and inspired. If you and your loved ones are trapped inside together, make the most of it! Catch up on their lives and tell them what’s been going on in yours. Put away phones and laptops and use this time to reconnect with each other. Tell ghost stories to make little kids shriek, or stick to funny tales for a more lighthearted mood.

Drink enough fluids to replace any you through a fever or producing mucus.  Keeping yourself hydrated can help you feel better and minimize the risk of getting more sick. Women need at least nine cups of liquid daily to keep their bodies hydrated, while men need at least 13.  Have water, juice, broth, or non-caffeinated sodas or teas. Stay away from caffeinated drinks including coffee and tea because they can dehydrate you and exacerbate symptoms. Studies now show that the longtime home remedy of chicken soup can help keep a cold at bay and relieve symptoms. Sipping chicken soup may help you nip a cold in the bud or help minimize your symptoms of a cold and flu. Even the steam from the hot soup can help alleviate symptoms.   Eat chicken soup to help relieve the congestion that accompanies cold and the flu. Chicken soup can prevent dehydration.  Be aware that chicken soup acts as an anti-inflammatory to your system. It also temporarily increases movement of mucus through the nose, which in turn limits the amount of time the virus is in the lining of your nose. Alcohol and tobacco products may make a cold or the flu worse. Eliminating or limiting these products may reduce the duration of your symptoms and help prevent complications. Gargling with a simple saline solution may help a sore throat. Although the benefits are temporary, you can use this remedy as often as you need it to combat inflammation.  Dissolve 1/2 a teaspoon of salt in an 8 oz. glass of warm water to make the saline solution. Swish a mouthful of saltwater for 30 seconds at least twice a day. This can also help relieve any inflammation in your throat related to the cold or flu. Mild analgesics can relieve a sore throat. Products such as lozenges and sprays containing eucalyptus or camphor can also relieve any cold- or flu-related congestion.  Use throat lozenges or apply sprays every two to three hours. Avoid chewing or swallowing throat lozenges because they can numb your throat and cause swallowing difficulties. You may have body aches with a...

Before you turn your employees loose in a round of team-building exercises, it's important to establish what the point of each activity is and what you hope to accomplish with it. Activities can (and arguably should) be fun, but they should ultimately serve a purpose and strengthen the bonds between your employees.  Make sure your goals determine the activity you choose. Don't waste time with aimless activities just because they're fun.  Communicate to your staff in advance what the purpose of each activity is. One way to foster stronger communication between coworkers is to use children's building blocks to design small sculptures. This requires observation skills, strong leadership abilities, and group communication.  Break your employees up into small teams (no more than four people per team). Build a small sculpture using children's building blocks. Make sure the sculpture is hidden from the teams. Hand out the necessary building blocks to each team. Choose one instructor from each team (perhaps supervisors or managers) to come up and view the sculpture at the same time. Their remaining team members should remain at their stations, out of view of the sculpture. Each instructor may only view the sculpture for 10 seconds at a time. After 10 seconds they must all return to their groups and direct their team mates on how to complete the sculpture. . A good way to build trust between coworkers is by having one employee lead another. This is an excellent opportunity to pair together people who don't get along or don't trust one another.  Set up an obstacle course using chairs, boxes, cones, and anything else you might have lying around the office - just be sure you don't use any objects that could hurt someone. Split your employees into pairs. Again, focus on pairing together people who might not work well together normally, as this is an opportunity to improve their relationship. Blindfold one person, and instruct him not to talk. Have his partner lead him through the obstacle course by giving verbal...

TL;DR in English: Have a clear focus. Strengthen communication skills. Build trust Develop patience and teamwork. Have employees create a team-building activity.

There are three main types of at-home kits for artificial nails:  gel, acrylic, and press-on.  Each has its own advantages and disadvantages to take into consideration when trying to achieve natural-looking, artificial nails.  Gel: Gel manicures most closely resemble your natural nail, and are less damaging to the nail plate. Gel manicures last at least two weeks, depending on maintenance.  They are applied like normal nail polish. Gel manicures require an ultraviolet (UV) light for drying and setting.   Gel nail kits are generally more expensive than the other options, especially if the kit includes a UV light.  Price range: $30-$120.  Acrylic: Acrylic manicures last about two weeks. They look more natural than press-on nails, less natural than gel nails. Prolonged use of acrylic nails can cause damage to your natural nail. Price range: $8-$20.  Press-Ons: Press-on nails are the easiest to apply at home, but only last about one week. They are also the least-natural looking of these options.  Press-on manicures cause minimal damage to your natural nail, and are easier to remove. They are also easy to repair; if a press-on nail falls off, you can easily glue it back into place.  If well-maintained, press-on nails can be reused.  Price range: $5-$10. Proper preparation of your natural nails is crucial; it helps artificial nails to adhere better and look more realistic.  Wash your hands with antibacterial soap to remove any dirt, oils, or lotion. Clean nails with nail polish remover. Acetone-based remover is more effective for acrylic nails, but it is harsher on your naturals nails.   Cut and file your nails. Apply cuticle oil or cream to your cuticles before pushing them back with a cuticle pusher. Buff your nails. Re-clean your hands and nails to remove any dust caused by filing and buffing. Dehydrate your nails using acetone-based remover or a nail dehydrating solution.  This helps nail polish and artificial nails to stay on longer.  Apply a nail base coat over your natural nails to protect them. Each at-home...

Use a clean, soft cloth always. Protect your lens cloth from the elements. Wash your lens cleaning cloth. Clean your lenses regularly. Keep your lenses in a case when you're not wearing them.

See which video input port(s) your TV has. Get the right video cable to connect your laptop to your TV. Obtain an audio cable if necessary.

The microfiber cloth that may have come with your glasses is ideal for cleaning your lenses, but even this can become dirty over time. Using a cloth that has dust on it will cause your lenses to develop small pits and scratches over time, creating cloudiness. To avoid this, only clean your glasses with a clean, soft cloth. The more dust and grime that is on your lens cleaning cloth, the more damage you will do to your lenses over time. Every time you dry, wipe, or polish your lenses, you will be scraping these particles against your glasses. To keep your lens cloth cleanest, you may want to hold it in a glasses case that you carry with you throughout the day. You might also put this cloth in a plastic baggie or other container and tuck it away in a backpack or satchel. Depending on the cloth your are using, cleaning procedure can vary. A soft cotton piece of fabric can be washed normally, but you should follow the directions that came with your cloth. For cleaning a microfiber cloth, you should:  Separate it with like-fabric items. Add a small amount of liquid detergent to your washing machine. Do not use fabric softener — this remains on the cloth and can leave streaks when using it on lenses. Set your washing machine to cold. Insert your microfiber cloth and like-cloth items into the wash. Air dry or use a dryer on a low/no-heat setting. Over the course of a day your glasses will normally collect dust, dirt, and oil from your face and hands. By cleaning your lenses regularly with glass cleaner or warm water and a drop of dish soap, you can cut down on the overall daily cloudiness you may experience. This will keep dust from settling on the glasses and protect them from harm if they are knocked over. Instead of placing your glasses on your bedside table at night, for instance, place them in their case and then put that on your bedside table. This will also protect your glasses from getting broken or damaged if you knock them over when not in use.

There are many car loan payment calculators available for free online. Take advantage of these free services if you don't want to spend the time calculating your payments yourself. Search "Car loan payment calculator" and you will be provided with many options. If you still want to work it out by hand, continue to the next step. Start by converting your APR to a decimal by dividing it by 100. For example, if your APR is stated at 8.4%, 8.4/100 = 0.084. Next, find your monthly percentage rate by dividing your APR decimal by 12. So, 0.084/12 = 0.007. This is your monthly percentage rate expressed as a decimal. If, for example, your principal were $20,000 (if you borrowed $20,000 to buy your car), you would multiply this by 0.007 (from the previous step) and get 140. The formula is as follows: Monthly Payment  = (Interest rate due on each payment  x  principal)/ (1  –  (1  +  Interest rate due on each payment)^  -(Number of payments)) The top part of the equation (interest rate due on each payment x principal) is your number from the previous step. The rest can be calculated using a simple calculator.  The "^" indicates that the figure (-(Number of Payments)) is an exponent to the figure (1 + Interest rate due on each payment). On a calculator, this is entered by calculating 1 + interest rate due on each payment, hitting the button x^y, and then entering the number of payments. Keep in mind that the number of payments is made negative here (multiplied by negative one). In our example, the calculation would go as follows (assuming a loan duration of 5 years or 60 months):  Monthly Payment = (0.007 x $20000)/(1-(1+ 0.007)^-60 Monthly payment = $140/(1-(1.007)^-60) Monthly payment = $140/(1-0.658) Monthly payment = $140/0.342 Monthly payment = $409.36 (this number may be off by a few cents due to rounding) This is done by simply dividing your principal amount by the duration of your loan in months. For our example, this would be $20,000/60 months = $333.33/month In our example, this would be $409.36 - $333.33. This...

TL;DR in English: Save time by using an online calculator. Find your interest rate due on each payment. Multiply your monthly percentage rate times your principal. Input this number into the monthly payment formula. Calculate the amount of principal paid each month. Subtract your principal paid each month from your monthly payment.

This will depend on whether your TV is a standard-definition or high-definition TV. Video input ports are typically located on the back of the TV, but may also be located on one of the sides.  Standard-definition TVs usually have composite video or S-video ports. The display will not be as sharp as through your PC's regular monitor, however.     High-definition TVs may have VGA, DVI or HDMI ports. VGA connections provide an analog signal, while DVI and HDMI connections provide a digital signal of higher quality.    If you have multiple options (e.g. VGA, S-video and HDMI), try to connect using the highest quality connection. HDMI is the standard for newer laptops and HDTVs, and will result in the best quality and least amount of work adjusting settings.  If your laptop's output port is the same kind as your TV's input port, get a cable with the same kind of connector on each end.     If your laptop's output port and your TV's input port are different, you'll need an adapter cable. Adapters are available to convert DVI to HDMI or VGA to composite video. You can also get an adapter cable to connect your computer's USB port to your TV's HDMI port if your laptop has no HDMI port. Converters, especially analog ones, typically result in a loss of quality, so avoid them if possible.     Branded HDMI cables are often marked up to be very expensive, but virtually any HDMI cable is more than capable of sending the signals to the TV with no loss of quality. Some computers and high-definition TVs can connect to the TV's audio and video with a single cable, while most require separate audio and video cables.  If you connect your laptop to your TV via HDMI, you will not need a separate audio cable as HDMI carries audio signal as well as video signal. All other connection types will require a separate audio cable.     Your laptop's audio output is a 3.5-mm jack marked with a headset icon. You can connect an audio cable from here to your TV's audio input if it has one or to external speakers if it doesn't.     When...
