Connect your teachers with other educators who may have some of the skills your teachers lack. Arranging for an opportunity to view effective skills in action can help your teachers pick up practical new strategies for improving their own skills. It might be helpful to strategically pair teachers who can learn from one another. Perhaps a more experienced educator could show a newer one how to effectively engage a class, and a newer one could illustrate how to effectively incorporate new technology into a lesson. Provide a workshop where your teachers can try to implement some of the new teaching skills you are imparting. It takes about 20 instances of practicing a new teaching approach until a teacher has mastered it.  In each of these workshops, select a small group of teachers who will give individual 15-minute presentations using a new skill to their colleagues. Their colleagues then get 15 minutes to discuss where the teacher excelled and what areas could use improvement. Typically during workshops, the teacher being workshopped withholds their commentary until the end of the session. A supportive environment where your teachers can try new approaches in front of colleagues can help them teach without fear. Ask your teachers to use flawed logic on a sample question or problem to get an incorrect answer. Then discuss how to address the core misunderstanding to make their teaching more effective. This can help your teachers learn to anticipate what students will misunderstand. By exploring how someone might come to an incorrect conclusion, teachers can reverse-engineer their teaching to help students come to the right answer and understand the problem. You should have a plan for who will speak, how long people will speak, and when people will speak. Set time limits for topics and activities you plan to explore. Additionally, make sure that you have a procedure to handle topics that go too long, such as by tabling them for later. Consider how many people who are in the session to make sure everyone who wants...

TL;DR in English: Arrange an observation session for your teachers. Hold practice class sessions to hone new skills once a month. Encourage them to understand where their students could go wrong. Establish structure in your meetings or trainings.

Since you're going to confession and all, you probably want to have an idea of what to say! Sitting back and reflecting on your actions is referred to as "an examination of conscience." So take a moment to call to mind your behavior since your last confession -- from the smallest to the largest of sins. If you wish to pray to the Holy Spirit during this time for guidance, you may. Don't know where to start? Here are a few questions you can ponder:  Have I disobeyed any of the commandments? Have I nourished my faith? Has anything else in my life influenced me more than God? Have I denied or doubted my faith? Have I hurt others, either accidentally or purposefully? Have I rejected any part of my faith? Have I been forgiving? What are the causes of my sins? What temptations do I surround myself with? Most of us commit venial sins on the regular; they're nothing to be ashamed of, though forgiveness should still be sought. These are your everyday sins -- lying to a friend to get out of a party, using God's name in vain, etc. Then there are the mortal sins, which are no laughing matter. Three conditions must be present in order for a sin to be mortal:  It must be something serious You must understand what you're doing at the time you're doing it You must have done it according to your own free will Keep in mind that whatever it is, your priest will keep your secrets. Whatever it is, he will not (and cannot) pass judgment or let your secrets out. Even under threat of death! He can be trusted. You needn't worry about the consequences of telling him. In fact, neglecting to tell him is a sin in itself! This can either be done by dropping in or making a phone call; many churches have designated times for confessions. Though a priest can usually be found at most times with enough looking, going to a scheduled session is easiest. However, a quick phone call or brief meeting and you can schedule a private session as well.  If you're nervous to go into the church, don't be! Many churches have publicized when confession is...

TL;DR in English: Examine your conscience. Understand the difference between mortal and venial sin. Find a confession session. Pray that you may be honest and repentant.

Reducing your calorie intake is essential for losing weight, and knowing how many calories to have each day will help you plan your fast-food meals. On average, a woman needs about 1,500 calories each day to lose 1 pound each week. The average man should consume about 2,000 calories each day to lose weight at the same rate. Your age, height, current weight, and activity level also play a factor. Talk to your doctor or a nutritionist about establishing the ideal daily calorie intake for you. The Food and Drug Administration requires that fast-food chains make the nutritional content of the food accessible to its customers. Before arriving at a fast-food restaurant, plan your meal ahead of time by checking the nutritional value listed online. Many fast-food and popular restaurant chains, from Tex-Mex eateries to coffee shops, allow you to explore the nutritional content on their website. Knowing what to order ahead of time will help you stick to a healthy meal option and reign in calories. If you don't have a chance to review the nutritional information before you go to a fast-food restaurant, you can still make informed choices. You will often see a calorie count listed next to a food item on a board or menu at a fast-food restaurant. Be sure to carefully review the calorie count of each meal, and select a meal that fits in with your calorie goals and that you won't feel guilty about eating.

Beyond the hours of 9 to 5, there are a range of networking events you can attend. Saturday brunch or evening cocktail parties may serve as the perfect backdrop to pitch a new idea or pass out your business cards. Look up networking events in your area or put out feelers at work or in your professional organization to learn about after-hours events. Having a strong social support group makes you more resilient to stress and even builds self-esteem. If you tend to flake on your loved ones due to school or work commitments, use your leisure time to hang out and nurture your existing friendships. Plan a movie night, game night, or ice cream social. Call up a few friends or family members you never get to see and invite them to join in on the fun. Connecting with those you love is a wonderful way to spend your downtime. Helping out in your local community provides you with an opportunity to connect with others, do something meaningful, and even polish your resume. Think about an area of need in your community and find out how you can be of service. You might help plan a community event, work in a homeless shelter, or pick up trash after the annual carnival. If you are searching for interesting ways to fill your free time, do something kind for someone else. Random acts of kindness show those around you that you care, and they make you feel good about yourself, too. These acts can be anything, from dropping off fresh-baked muffins to your elderly neighbor or volunteering to watch your sibling’s kids so they can go on a date. Make a list of fun ways you can give back to those around you, and aim to complete one random act each day.

TL;DR in English: Expand your professional network. Invite some friends or family over. Start a volunteer commitment. Do random acts of kindness.

Lots of couples have different sex drives. Just because your partner is not interested in sex as much as you are does not mean that he or she is not attracted to you. In fact, there are lots of other reasons why your partner may not want to have sex as much as you do, such as:  hormone deficiencies feeling sick poor self-image fatigue stress low mood or depression Having a good emotional relationship with your partner may lead to a better sex life. Start taking time to talk to your partner as a friend. Show your interest in your partner’s happiness and well-being. Some good ways to improve communication include:   Asking about your partner’s day. Make time to sit down and chat with your partner at least once per day, such as during dinner or over your morning coffee. Say something like, “How was work?” or “Did you have a good time with your friends?” or “What do you have going on today?”  Calling or texting during the day. Staying in touch throughout the day can also help to improve your communication. Try sending your partner a quick text or calling just to say hi. You might text your partner something like, “Thinking about you. What are you up to right now?” or call and say “Hey, how’s your day going so far?”  Listening. Use good listening skills when your partner is talking to show that you are interested and engaged. For example, face your partner, make eye contact with your partner, nod your head, and make neutral statements to indicate your attention, such as “Yes,” “I see,” and “Go on.” It is important to let your partner know that you would like to have sex more often and any other concerns that you have about your sexual relationship. Telling your partner these things can make it easier for you and your partner to come up with solutions to the problem.  For example, you can start a conversation about your sex life by saying something like, "I feel closer to you when we have sex on a regular basis, but we haven't been doing that as much lately. Is everything okay?” Keep in mind that your partner might...

TL;DR in English: Try not to take it personally. Improve everyday communications with your partner. Let your partner know how you feel. Be patient.

These hooks have adhesive backings that stick to walls, so you don’t have to put a hole in the wall. Weigh the object first so you can pick a hook that will properly support it.  Adhesive hooks come in various sizes and should say how many pounds they will hold. The largest of these hooks hold 8 pounds (3.6 kg) and the smallest are rated for only 1 pound (0.45 kg) of weight. For objects that are slightly heavier than your hooks are meant to hold, use 2 hooks. Use a clean rag or paper towel and some rubbing alcohol to scrub the area of any debris. This will ensure that the adhesive will stick firmly to the wall. If you don’t have rubbing alcohol, you can use warm water mixed with a small amount of dish soap to clean the wall. Make a small pencil mark where the center of your hook will be. If you are using 2 hooks, measure the width of your object and divide that number into 3. Make your first mark on the wall at the 1/3 position and the second mark at the 2/3 position. For example, if your picture is 9 inches (23 cm) wide, you’d place 1 hook at 3 inches (7.6 cm) in from the edge, and the second at 6 inches (15 cm). Double check that the 2 marks are in line either using a leveler or by measuring down from the ceiling. If the item you’ll be hanging has a wire hanger on the back, be sure to consider the length of the slack. You can test this by pulling the center of the wire tight toward the top of your object. Measure from the bottom of the object to where the wire catches. If your hook’s adhesive strip is not already on the back of the hook, peel the liner off 1 side of the strip. Line it up to the back off the hook and press down. Some adhesive hooks come with the adhesive already affixed to the back. Skip this step and move on to the next if that’s the case with the adhesive hook you have. Remove the paper lining on the back of the hook, line it up straight, and press the hook firmly onto the wall. Hold for 30 seconds and release. Once the adhesive has dried, hang your items from the hook(s). If your item...

High cholesterol, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure may not cause symptoms until cardiovascular disease has become severe and resulted in organ damage. For this reason, it is important to schedule annual visits, or physicals, with your doctor to assess your risk of heart disease. You doctor can measure your blood pressure and order blood tests to look at cholesterol levels.  If any of these measurements are abnormal, she may prescribe medication that could be crucial for preventing a heart attack. You should start cholesterol screening no later than age 45. Medication that help with blood clots are called antiplatelet agents. Platelets are a component of the blood that are triggered to form blood clots when there is injury. Aspirin is the most commonly used medication in this group. It is a pill generally taken once a day in a dose of 81 to 325 mg. Side effects for regular use include stomach upset and, in rare cases, GI bleeding. Other types of antiplatelet agents include Plavix, Brilinta, and Effient. These are also pills that are generally taken once daily. The common side effect of taking these is easy bleeding and bruising. Cholesterol medications are called statins. They work by lowering bad cholesterol in your system and raising good cholesterol. This prevents the development of plaque in the heart. There are a number of different types, including Lipitor, Pravachol, Crestor, Mevacor, Altoprev,  Zocor, and Livalo. These are pills that are generally taken once daily.  In general, this class of medication is very safe and has very few and infrequent side-effects. Studies have suggested that they can rarely cause minor injury to the liver and kidneys. They can also cause muscle toxicity, injury and breakdown.   Statin therapy plays an especially important role in reducing cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients. Frequently, lifestyle changes are not enough to reduce blood pressure to healthy levels and prescription medications must be used. Thiazide diuretics reduce fluid volume and cause...

TL;DR in English: Visit your doctor to get assessed. Take medicine for blood blots. Get cholesterol medication. Ask your doctor about thiazide diuretics. Try angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Use blockers.

Use a hot glue gun so the twine is secure on the bottle. Apply a drop of hot glue to the bottom rim of the bottle (on the side of the bottle) and press the end of the twine into the glue. Let the glue dry for at least 1 minute. Add a drop of hot glue every 2 inches (5.1 cm). Stop wrapping the twine once you get back to where you started. Let the hot glue dry for 1 minute. Don't leave any gaps between the rings of twine as you wrap it around. You shouldn't be able to see the glass wine bottle through the twine. Don't apply any hot glue to the rings of twine going up the base of the bottle. Add hot glue every 2 inches (5.1 cm) like you did to the ring of twine at the bottom rim of the bottle. Stop once you reach the point where you first started wrapping the twine around the neck of the bottle. Wait 1 minute for the hot glue to dry before continuing. Layer the rings right on top of each other so there aren't any gaps, like you did with the twine on the base of the bottle. Stop wrapping when you reach the lip at the top of the neck. Apply a dot of hot glue right below the lip at the top of the bottle. Press the end of the twine into the hot glue. Once the hot glue dries, your bottle is ready to be displayed!

This includes your celery salt, garlic salt, and kosher salt, as well as your dried herbs, ground black and white pepper, dried mustard, and paprika. Keep pulsing the ingredients until the herbs are broken up and the same size.  For a more authentic flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of Accent Seasoning (MSG) for every 1 pound (0.45 kg) of chicken. MSG is a flavor enhancer, but it's not very healthy. If you can't find oregano or thyme, try marjoram and sage instead. Pour the flour into a large dish, then add the spice blend. Whisk the ingredients together until everything is combined. Set the bowl aside for later. You'll be placing your chicken pieces in this. The bowl should be big enough to fit at least 1 chicken breast or 1 chicken thigh. Do not add them to the bowl with the flour and spiced blend. Instead, crack the egg open into a different bowl, then add the buttermilk. Whisk the 2 ingredients together until the yolk has broken up and no streaks remain. Make sure that the bowl is deep enough to submerge all of your chicken pieces.

Learn the difference between love and jealousy. Draw boundaries with a jealous partner or friend. Don't accept abuse. Get help.

You can find this around you almost immediately after you begin the game, in the form of trees. Break the blocks and make sure they get put into your inventory. In the upper left, there will be a button labeled "Craft". Tap it. Tap it and create the planks. These are necessary to create most things in Minecraft. In Minecraft PE, crafting tables require four Wooden Planks. Crafting tables are used to create the majority of materials in Minecraft. Create it and set it down somewhere. Food is essential to restoring your health. You can either make bread with wheat, make Mushroom Stew with mushrooms, or kill animals and cook the meat in a furnace.  Certain mobs drop certain things when they are killed. For example, sheep drop wool blocks, but they do not drop any meat. Killing a cow will give you beef and leather, which can be used later. Killing a chicken will give you feather and raw meat. The feather can be used when creating an arrow,which can be helpful. Make sure not to kill off all of the animals. You can breed them. If you plan on lasting the night, you're going to need a shelter. It doesn't have to be huge - just something that keeps the mobs out.   You can only create tools with the crafting table (with some exceptions, such as torches). Tools such as pickaxes, swords, and shovels cannot be made through your inventory. For this reason, it's a good idea to carry around a spare crafting table in case your pickaxe breaks while mining. Wood and gold are the weakest materials for any tools. A wooden sword deals the least damage, and a wooden pickaxe can only harvest stone and coal ore. The best thing to do is to use a wooden pick to get cobblestone, and then use cobblestone for other things, such as swords, furnaces, and pickaxes to harvest iron. Certain mobs will be harder to fight than others, and how you fight can make it easier or harder.  For mobs that can attack from a distance, such as skeletons, it's best to use a bow and arrow. If you don't have bows and arrows, a sword will work, but swords make it...

TL;DR in English: Collect wood. Go to your inventory. Scroll through until you find "Wooden Planks". Find the Crafting Table. Get food. Make sure you have a shelter and tools. Fight mobs effectively.

While you can simply measure instead, spreading the fabric out will give you a much better idea of what it will look like when it's installed. You can move it around and adjust where you want it to go. Keep in mind you can install sun shades at an angle from the ground, which will reduce some of the width or length of the shade, depending on how you angle it. You can attach your shade to standing structures, such as the house, a shed, or even a sturdy tree branch. If you don't have these options, you'll need posts to attach the shade to. Lay these out to make sure they'll fit where you want them to go.  Try 10 ft (3.0 m) pressure-treated wood posts that are 6 by 6 inches (15 by 15 cm). You can also use 5 by 5 inches (13 by 13 cm) steel posts. Steel will last longer but costs more.  The area you need for the shade will be slightly larger than the fabric looks when just laid out. You'll create tension when attaching the shade, which will stretch it out. Plus, you need to add extra space on the ends, where you will use the shade hardware to attach the shade to the posts. You'll need a space that's about 10% bigger than the shade itself. For instance, if one side of your shade is 6 feet (1.8 m), then the gap at each of those corners should be about 0.6 feet (0.18 m). You can use spray paint on grass to mark the area. Alternatively, make an "X" in the ground with a small spade so you can find the spot again later. Another option is to set rocks where you are planning to put the posts. You can simply stretch the shade so it's the same height across the yard, if that's your preference. You can also vary the height a little, going from higher at one end to lower at the other. It all depends on your preference.  Angling the shade can provide some wind protection. You need to decide on heights now, so that you get posts that are the correct size. When you dig in your yard, you need to have the area marked first. City officials will come out and mark gas, water, and power lines that are buried beneath the ground so you...

TL;DR in English: Spread the sun shade out in the designated area. Determine where you will attach the shade. Mark the points where you want to place posts. Decide how high you want each corner of the shade to be. Call your local city officials before you dig.

Jealousy is not love and feeling jealousy does not mean that you are in love. Some people mistake jealousy as an act of love, when it's really an act of insecurity and/or a lack of control. People who get jealous tend to be insecure and to have feelings of shame as well. If your partner is acting out due to jealousy, draw lines. Do not answer questions you are not comfortable answering. Do not cancel plans with your friends, or cut off contact with someone who matters to you.  Gently and firmly explain: "I will answer your questions, but only once. I will not give you the same answer over and over." "I will listen to how you feel, but I will not isolate myself from the people I love." "If you throw things or yell, I will leave the house and spend the night at my parents' house." "If you do not tell me how you feel, but you sulk or give me the silent treatment, I will tell you how that makes me feel and then I will leave the house until you call me." Do not assume responsibility for things you did not do. It may be easier to apologize and blame yourself when you are blamed for another's behavior. However, you know your own motivations. Don't let anyone convince you into believing that you were flirting when you weren't flirting, or that you "provoked" jealousy and subsequent bad behavior.  Listen calmly to your partner if he or she can use "I" statements, but do not subject yourself to a barrage of accusations. If your partner physically restrains you, hurts you, or breaks things, leave him or her. If you feel in any way threatened by a partner or other person who is jealous of you, get away from them if you can. Jealousy is the leading cause of spousal murders, and is a typical component of spousal battery. Get out of the house if your partner is physically aggressive, and call 911 or a domestic abuse hotline: 1-800-522-3304

TL;DR in English:


If you have any other questions or concerns about your symptoms, call your doctor.

Call your doctor if you’ve never had cold sore symptoms before.

Get a water hose, open tap, or shower and soak the victim with fresh, clean water. Continue to pour water on the areas with acid for 20 minutes at least. Rotate the stream of water, so that the acid is pushed away from the victim’s body and onto the ground.  The water must be clean or you risk causing an infection within the forming burns. If you only have a water bottle, go ahead and use it on the wounds. However, yell out to others for more water or move the victim closer to a water source. If acid gets into the eye, it can burn through the cornea and cause blindness. If you suspect that the victim’s eye has acid on it, have them bend their head downwards. Pour a stream of clean water over the eye for 20 minutes or as long as possible.  If you can, gently open the victim’s eyelid, so that the water actually reaches the eye itself. Otherwise, the acid can stay hidden under the lid and continue to burn. Avoid touching the eye itself, as you could contaminate the burn. If the person is lying or sitting on the ground, don’t let them lie in a pool of water after rinsing them off. You may need to move them a few times during the rinsing process. If they can stand with assistance at the water’s source, such as a shower, then that is even better.

TL;DR in English: Flush the injured area with water. Rinse out an affected eye by holding it under running water. Move the victim away from the flushed water.

To create the tuna rolls, you'll need a bamboo sushi mat. Set the mat out on your work surface with the slats running horizontally and cover it with a piece of plastic wrap. Next, lay half a sheet of nori on top of the plastic wrap on the mat.  Nori is an edible seaweed used to make sushi rolls. You can usually purchase it at Asian grocery stores and in the international foods aisle of some general markets. When you cut the sheet of nori in half, slice it horizontally. Make sure that the shiny side of the nori is facing down when you place it on the mat. Use your hands to carefully hold the rice in place as you flip it over. Make sure to line up the edge of the nori with the bottom edge of the bamboo mat.

TL;DR in English: Place the nori on a bamboo mat. Turn the nori over so the rice is facing down.
###
If your cold sore symptoms are new or if you aren’t sure what’s causing your symptoms, make an appointment with your doctor. They can give you a proper diagnosis and rule out other potential causes for your symptoms.You should also let your doctor know if you have any other questions or concerns about your symptoms.

TL;DR in English:


Position them to get at least 4 hours of sunlight. Provide a trellis for climbing plants. Bring your tropical flowers indoors for winter or cover them up. Prune back shoots in the fall or spring.

Use a tape measure to measure the length and height of your walls. Write these measurements down on a piece of paper. Buy 3⁄4-inch (1.9 cm) thick extruded polystyrene insulation online or at a hardware or home improvement store. This insulation will usually come in pink or yellow panels and is made to insulate basements. Use the measurements you took for your basement walls and get enough material to cover them all. It's a good idea to get 2-3 extra panels of the material in case you make a mistake. Place the insulation next to obstructions in your wall and make a mark next to the areas that you'll need to cut out. Obstructions could include the space around windows, pipes, or power outlets. Cut holes in the insulation with a razor blade or knife so that the insulation fits around the obstructions.  If your insulation is longer than the height of your basement, you'll have to cut the top of the insulation so that it fits. If your insulation isn't long enough, you may need to cut out extra pieces of insulation to fill in the holes. Read the instructions and packaging to make sure that the adhesive you buy sticks to foam insulation. Apply the adhesive in a back and forth motion to the entire back of your insulation. Start on one end of your wall and carefully line the insulation up to the wall. Press the insulation onto the wall and hold it in place for 2 minutes or until it sticks to the wall. Work your way down the wall and continue to glue the insulation sheets side-by-side, until all of your walls are covered in insulation. Use a thick insulation tape and run it down the seams where your insulation panels meet. This will help better insulate your basement and will help keep the insulation sheets together as you frame the wall. Caulking the perimeter of the basement where the wall meets the floor can be helpful.

TL;DR in English: Measure your walls. Purchase enough extruded polystyrene insulation to cover your walls. Measure and cut your insulation to fit around obstructions. Apply a foam adhesive to the back of your insulation. Press the sheets of insulation onto the walls. Use insulation tape to cover the cracks in between the insulation.

You can buy your vivarium from a pet store. You can also check online sellers and auction sites, like eBay. There are glass, PVC, Melamine, ABS, and vision cages to choose from.  A traditional vivarium has wooden sides with a sliding glass frontage. This model is highly recommended. Fish tanks can work, but they are far from ideal. You have to be careful with tanks that open overhead because bearded dragons can get scared if you hover above them. You will have to acclimate your pet to you by placing your hand inside the tank opposite of your bearded dragon and moving it towards the pet. They are thermally inefficient and lose heat quickly. The minimum length for a vivarium is four foot. The dimensions of a typical vivarium are four feet long x three feet high x two feet deep.  Bearded dragons are largely ground dwelling but love to climb over low branches, so a long vivarium offers the dragon a chance to wander around and climb over branches provided as part of the vivarium furniture.  Though some sources may say that juvenile bearded dragons may get lost in large, four feet vivariums, most people believe this is false since they are not limited to small habitats in the wild. Keep the vivarium out of direct sunlight. Too much sunlight can make controlling the temperatures in the vivarium hard. The vivarium also needs to be in a quiet place. Loud noises may cause stress on your bearded dragon. You need to get the temperature and lighting correct before putting your bearded dragon into the vivarium. The temperatures need to stabilize before you put the bearded dragon inside. If you don’t get the heat and lighting correct, you could hurt your pet. Set up the vivarium about a week before you plan to place the bearded dragon into his habitat.

TL;DR in English: Buy a vivarium. Make sure your vivarium is the appropriate size. Place the vivarium in the proper place. Set up the vivarium before you buy your pet.

Tropical flowers thrive on sunlight and require it in order to grow. Move your planters around until the sun hits them. Only plant tropical flowers in beds that get consistent direct or indirect sunlight. Some plants, such as flowering maples, do best with bright light. Whereas, other tropical flowers, such a begonias, prefer ample, indirect sunlight. Some tropical flowers have vines that prefer to grow upwards and wrap around things. Research your plant to see if it would benefit from having a trellis nearby to latch on to. Simply stick the trellis into the ground right next to the plant and secure it with stakes.  For example, a healthy Mandevilla flowering vine will attach itself to a nearby trellis and cover it with foliage. You can purchase a wooden or metal trellis at your local gardening store. If your tropical flowers are potted, bring them into your garage or atrium to ride out the colder months. Other tropical plants, such as hibiscus, can generally survive outdoors unless temperatures drop below freezing. If it might freeze, place a blanket or bucket over your plants to minimize the damage from frost. You can also let your plants die out seasonally and simply replant in the spring. Use a pair of gardening shears to clip back new growth or dead flowers during the more mild months of the year. Limit yourself to making only a few trims each time to not overly weaken your plant. This is an especially important step for potted plants, as it keeps them from outgrowing their containers.

Decide which airline to fly. Choose a comfortable seat in advance. If you have very young children, be sure to arrange the right seating for them. Be sure to arrange the right seating for them. Be wary of selecting a tight connection after a long flight. Check out the affordability of a flat bed in business class

Attend a naturalization ceremony. Receive a certificate of naturalization. Relinquish your previous nationality. Apply for a German identity card and passport.

Obviously, you need to know the available flights for your destination and the price has to be "right". However, other things you should be considering when booking for a long haul flight is just how comfortable that airline will prove to be. Some airlines do offer more legroom than others on particular sectors and this is an important consideration the longer the flight gets; do some research and read the advertising promises, as well as checking out people's opinions in online travel and flight forums.  Check out what entertainment is offered by the airline. Many newer aircraft types offer individualized monitors in the back of the seat right in front of you, so that you don't have to crane your neck to try to see a wobbly old movie screen with someone else's head in front of it. A lot of these individual entertainment centers now come with lots of movies, news, documentary, etc. choices, as well as radio, music and games that can be played using a handheld device that lifts out from the seat. Though somebody's got to be stuck in that middle seat, you should do what you can to get the seat you want. First, you should figure out which seat you prefer, the aisle or the window. The aisle may be the most comfortable for a long flight because you have a bit more room on the side facing the aisle and can easily get up and stretch your legs or use the restroom without inconveniencing people; however, some people like the window because it's easier to rest against it, and because it can be pleasant to look outside. Whatever you choose, here are some tips for picking your seat:  Most airlines allow you to choose your seat when you book your flight. Don't overlook this important aspect of booking the flight, even if you're in a rush. If you didn't choose a seat online, try to choose it when you check in, or even at the gate of the flight. Though your flight might be full and you may not be able to switch your seat, it's worth trying. You can try to sit toward the front of the plane so you get to board earlier and...

TL;DR in English: Decide which airline to fly. Choose a comfortable seat in advance. If you have very young children, be sure to arrange the right seating for them. Be wary of selecting a tight connection after a long flight. Check out the affordability of a flat bed in business class. Check out the food options on the airplane. Prepare for any medical issues in advance. Check restrictions before lugging your packed bags to the airport.

If you have curly hair, consider straightening the section out. This will give you a more authentic look. If you have natural hair, however, consider leaving it as-is, or use braiding hair to create some micro braids, goddess braids, etc. If you have short hair and plan on adding extensions, you must straighten your hair, otherwise the texture won't match. Make the ponytail at the same height as the bun, right next to the vertical part that's behind your ear. The ponytail and the bun should be almost touching—as though they are a single piece.  Use a hair tie that matches your hair color as closely as possible. You'll eventually be adding a Sailor Moon clip, but there's still a chance that it might show through. For more volume, split the ponytail into 2 sections and gently tug them apart. This will shift the hair tie closer to your scalp as well as cause the ponytail to fan out. Take a 2- to 3-comb hair extension that matches your hair color and pop open the combs. Insert the first comb into the base of your ponytail, right below the hair tie, and snap it shut. Wrap the extension around the ponytail, then slide and snap the second comb into place. Straighten the extension to match the texture of your hair.  For a thicker look, use a 4-clip extension. You can also layer another set of 2- or 3-clip extensions instead. The extensions don't have to be as long as Sailor Moon's hair. You can also totally keep your short hair for a Chibi Moon look. If you have natural hair, consider using braiding hair and creating mini braids instead. with a curling iron, if desired. Depending on the thickness of your hair, you may have to curl the ends in multiple sections. Once you have finished curling them, however, gather them together to that they make one, big curl.  Don't curl all of the ponytail all the way up to the ponytail. You just need a single coil. If you put your natural hair into braids, you can still curl them by wrapping them around curling rods, then dipping them into boiling water for a couple of seconds....

TL;DR in English: Undo the back-left section and comb it out. Pull the section into a high ponytail just behind the left bun. Clip in an extension around the ponytail if you want an authentic look. Curl the end of the ponytail Repeat the process for the right side of your head. Add a Sailor Moon clip to each bun, if desired.

If your application is accepted, you will receive a letter from the government with instructions on how to complete your process. You will be given a time and place to attend a ceremony for your new citizenship.  The length of the application process can vary based on your locality. It can take between a few weeks and a few months to get a response. At the ceremony, you will be given an oath to swear. This oath states that you will follow the laws and customs of Germany. At the naturalization ceremony, you will receive a certificate of naturalization (known in German as a Einbürgerungszusicherung). This is proof that you are now a German citizen. If your application was denied, you will receive a negative certificate in the mail. Talk to your local immigration office to see if you are eligible to reapply. You should make a copy of the naturalization certificate and send it to the consulate of your previous nationality. Your consulate may require you to fill out forms or pay a fee. Contact them for more information.  Do not send the original copy of your naturalization certificate. You do not have to do this if you are able to have dual citizenship with the US, UK, EU countries, and former Soviet countries. If your previous nationality does not allow you to relinquish your citizenship (as is the case with Syria, Iran, and Morocco), then you do not have to relinquish your citizenship. Take your German naturalization certificate with you to your local residence registration office (known as a Einwohnermeldeamt). Follow their instructions to receive both a new identity card and passport. You can now use these documents to prove your citizenship in Germany.  You may also be asked to bring your old ID and a new passport photo with you when you apply. Do this as soon as you receive your naturalization certificate. It will take a few weeks for you to get your new identity card and passport. Applying for these as soon as possible will prevent any problems if you have to prove your citizenship.

Maltese dogs have long flowing hair that is easily tangled and, like our own, keeps growing. Bathe your Maltese with a mild shampoo and conditioner made for dogs. Clean around your Maltese's eyes regularly. Brush your dog's teeth. Trim your dog's nails regularly. Check the dog's ears on a daily basis.

Look for the title on the top of the website or in the url for the site. Use the full title. For example, you may use the title “Tourism Canada” or “The Writer’s Pen” in the citation. Look at the bottom of the website for a creation date, usually found next to a trademark or with the note, “Created on.” You can also look for a revised date at the bottom of the website. It is usually listed as “Revised on” or “Reviewed on.”  For example, you may see a note at the bottom of the website that says “Created on: January 2001” or “Revised: 2012.” If you cannot find the year, you can use “n.d.” in the citation to indicate no date can be found for the website. Write the title of the website, followed by the year the website was created or revised in parentheses.  For example, you may write, “(Tourism Canada 2001)” or “(The Writer’s Pen 2011).” If there is no date on the website, you may write, “(Tourism Canada n.d.)” If the material is quoted, put it in quotation marks. If it is paraphrased, you do not need to use quotation marks. Include the citation right after the text you have paraphrased or quoted. Place it after the period at the end of the sentence.  For example, if the text is quoted, you may write: “The national average for home pregnancies has doubled in the last year.” (Tourism Canada 2011) If the text is paraphrased, you may write: Winners of this award will receive $1,660.

This personality system is based on research by the psychologist Carl Jung and is widely used. The Myers-Briggs categorizes personality along four dimensions. Each dimension has two opposite preferences associated with it. Combining your preference from each of the four dimensions will define your personality according to one of 16 possible types.  The four dimensions are: introversion/extraversion (I/E); sensing/intuition (S/N); thinking/feeling (T/F); and judging/perceiving (J/P). Compare your personal list of traits to your preferences on each of the four dimensions on the Myers-Briggs. For example, does your list indicate you are more of an ‘I’ or an ‘E’? Do you have more words related to thinking or feeling? You might, for instance, be a ISFP (introverted, sensing, feeling, perceiving) personality based on the traits on your list. With this system of personality classification you define yourself according to nine different personality types. Although there is usually some overlap between the nine personality types within a person, most people are more similar to one type than the other eight.  Evaluate your list of traits to see if they can be described by one of the nine types of personality according to the Enneagram system. Look for clues that you are mostly a: reformer, helper, achiever, individualist, investigator, loyalist, enthusiast, challenger, or peacemaker. For example, if you see traits on your list like: mediator, problem-solver, and diplomatic you may be a peacemaker. Visit http://www.enneagraminstitute.com to learn more about using this personality classification system. You can use this system to define your personality along four temperaments or types: the guardian, artisan, idealist, or rational. Similar to the Myers-Briggs and the Big Five, there is a great deal of research related to the Keirsey system.  Use your list of traits to help you determine which of the four personality types, or temperaments, is most like you. For example, do you have traits on your personal list like...

If you don't want to deal with the upkeep a shorter "puppy cut" looks cute on a Maltese. You will need to have him professionally groomed maybe once every six weeks but will still need to brush his hair daily using a nice, soft brush. Remove excess hair and untangle knots while the hair is dry or with a special detangler. Bathing him first will make the tangles worse.  You may need to use a comb to get to the root of any tangles and knots. Remember to gently tease them apart. Take extreme care cutting out knots, as it is all too easy to nick the skin. You may need to bathe a playful puppy once a week, while a calm, older dog will only need a monthly bath. Wash its hair like it's your own, only be very gentle!  Don't forget to clean your pup's face with a washcloth. Maltese dogs have white hair that is prone to tear staining. You will recognize this as the brown streaks down the face of a white dog. This happens when tears overspill onto the cheek and stay there for a few hours. Substances in the tear fluid oxidizes and change to that rust-colored pigment, which causes the staining.  To avoid this, dry the area around your dog's eyes regularly. The amount of tear overflow varies with each individual dog and is more pronounced when they are teething. If the lower lid area or cheek are constantly wet, then wipe hourly. For dogs with less moisture from the eyes, you only need to wipe twice a day or when you spot gloop in the corner of the eye. There are various commercial products available for wiping eyes, but previously boiled water on cotton wool is perfectly sufficient. Dampen the cotton wool with the cool water and wipe away any moisture or stickiness from the eye area. Then finish with a dry piece of cotton wool to pat the area dry. Many people don't do this, but it is very, very important, especially for older dogs. This will slow up tartar formation and protect your dog's dental health. Start at a young age, so the dog accepts having its teeth brushed. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste made...

Different airlines can offer widely variant prices for similar flights, so be sure you shop around if you’re planning to fly. Remember that booking a flight and hotel together may save you money if the website offers specials or discounts. These websites often compare flight prices from different websites for you, all in one place. While flying is the quickest way to travel long distances, other options such as taking a train or bus or even renting a recreational vehicle may be less expensive and more environmentally friendly.  They may also be more fun, particularly if traveling with children. Reaching your destination is only one transportation consideration.  Once you have arrived in the area, you will need to figure out how to get from the airport, train station, or bus station to your hotel.  You may also have plans to travel locally while on vacation.  Call the concierge at the hotel you’re staying at and ask whether the hotel offers complimentary or reduced-fee shuttle service to and from the airport.  If they don’t, ask for any advice on local ground transportation. Rent a vehicle if you will need to get around a lot once you have reached your destination.  If you’ll be doing a lot of sight-seeing in areas that are spread out, a rental car will be a better option than taxi services.  Be sure you know your hotel’s parking policies and fees. If you don’t plan to leave your destination once you get there (for example, if you’re staying at an all-inclusive resort), you may not need a rental car.  Consider a taxi or shuttle from the airport instead. If you are going to an urban area, search online for the city’s public transportation options.  Areas with subways, trains, or bus systems often offer daily or weekly passes that are much cheaper than rental car fees. If you’re planning to drive to your vacation spot, be sure your car is up-to-date on basic maintenance.  Check the air pressure in the tires. Change the oil if it has been 3 months or 3,000 miles since the last change. Be sure that all essential...

Learning to play the guitar well is something that requires dedication. However, you don’t have to devote all of your time to practice. Simply set aside 15-30 minutes every day to practice playing guitar and commit to sticking to this schedule no matter what.  Use this practice time to work on the chords you already know and add new chords to the mix. Once you know enough chords, try learning to play a whole song! Some examples of easy guitar songs for beginners include the Beatles’ “Love Me Do,” Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Proud Mary,” and Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline.” If you’re just looking for new chords to learn, you can buy books that include the guitar chords for a lot of famous and popular songs at nearly any music store or book retailer. Many music books will also include helpful tips and techniques for playing the guitar that you may not have encountered in practicing on your own. Some books will also include helpful multimedia tools, such as CDs, that make learning new techniques on the guitar even easier. Websites like ultimate-guitar.com and ultimate-tabs.com have a large database of tabs (simplified forms of musical notation) that tell you how to play different songs on the guitar. For extra help, there are also plenty of video tutorials on websites like YouTube where more experienced guitar players offer tips on how to play songs from start to finish.   Guitar tabs are an easier way to read chords if you can’t read traditional sheet music. Tabs use 6 horizontal lines to represent the guitar strings and numbers on those lines to indicate which frets you need to press down to play the chord.

First, you must identify a field of study that you would like to research. At the student level, you will either be assigned a topic during a course or choose a lab that performs research that interests you.  Choose a subject that excites you or that you find yourself drawn to. Scientific research isn’t limited to just subjects like biology, chemistry, and physics. As long as you follow the scientific method to perform your study you are doing research. The research question will be the main focus of your study. Once you have a chosen a topic that interests you, investigate some of the unanswered questions within that field. The research question should be based in a field that you have some familiarity with. You can have more than one research question for a scientific study.  Do a brief literature search to familiarize yourself with what information is already out there and what unanswered questions there are.  Make sure you have the necessary resources available to you (funding and laboratory equipment) to work on the question. Talk to professors or other researchers and have them help you identify a question that you could work on. Many articles will state some of the unanswered questions and speculate on future directions or suggest experiments that will be necessary in the future. Use these as a springboard for your own ideas. You may have done a brief literature search to help you develop a research question, but now you must really do your homework. Find and read articles in the field related to the problem you’ve identified. Read the current literature as well as some of the seminal papers that established the field.  It is impossible to read every paper, but when performing research, you want to be an expert on the topic. You also don’t want to repeat experiments that have already been done. The literature search will help you design the experiments and determine the proper experimental conditions to use. Take detailed notes as you read through the literature. You will likely be writing a paper on...

Don't keep kissing them for more than a few seconds. Stop and put a little space between the two of you. Take a moment to breathe and think about what happened. It's okay to go back in for another kiss, but it's best to take a little break first. Remember, the other person is likely just as nervous about kissing as you are. Show them you liked it by looking at them and smiling. You might also hold their hand or put your arm around them. Make eye contact, then lean in close again. Watch to see if they're leaning in, too. If you're in doubt, ask them if they want another kiss.  Say, “Are you ready for another kiss?” or “Can we do that again?” Only go in for another kiss if you want one. Don't feel pressured to kiss if you don't feel like it. After the kiss, spend some time being intimate without kissing. Hold them in your arms, snuggle up next to them, or hold hands. Do what feels comfortable for both you and your kissing partner. Relax and enjoy this time together. You might watch a movie, talk, or go for a walk. You might feel overwhelmed or nervous right after your kiss, and that's okay. On the other hand, you might feel really excited and chatty. Either way, talk to your kissing partner about what happened when you feel ready, whether it's right after the kiss or later in the day or night.  For instance, say something like, “I've been wanting to do that for a really long time,” “That was nice,” or “You're a good kisser.” Don't feel like you have to say something right away. It's okay to wait. Text, call, or talk to the person you kissed to check on how they're doing. Let them know if you're interested in going on another date or hanging out with them again. Additionally, tell them if you enjoyed the kiss.  Keep in mind that having a first kiss doesn't mean you always have to kiss. It's okay to decide you want to wait awhile to do it again. On the other hand, it's perfectly normal to be excited about the chance to get another kiss. Say something like, "I had fun last night. The kiss was nice. Do you want to...

Use a wire brush to scrub the grill clean to remove old food particles that have been burned on. Once you've removed the larger pieces, go over each part of the grill with a grill brush and give the grill a good scrubbing. Empty out old ashes from the bottom of the bowl. When you're finished cleaning the grill, remove it from the braai and set it aside so you can light the fire. Stuff the bottom of the chimney starter with a piece of newspaper. Fill the chimney starter with as much wood or charcoal as you can fit. A braai needs a good, hot, large fire, so you need to start with a lot of fuel. When the chimney starter is full, use a barbecue lighter to light the newspaper in the bottom of the starter. Light it in multiple places around the starter.  Once the fire is started, it will begin to spread and the charcoal or wood will burn down. Continue burning the fire in the chimney starter until the wood turns to embers or the charcoal turns gray. When the wood or charcoal is ready, pour the embers into the bowl and spread them out evenly with charcoal tongs. This will ensure that there aren't any cool spots, and that the steak cooks evenly on the grill. Concentrate the coals in the center of the bowl so the heat will be directly below where the steak is cooking. Carefully place the grill back into the bowl of the barbecue. If your grill has multiple racks, place the grill on the lowest one, nearest to the fire. Let the grill sit over the coals for 10 to 20 minutes to preheat. This will ensure the steak starts cooking as soon as you lay it on the grill.  Ideally, you want the grill to be 2 to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm) from the bed of embers.  When the grill is good and hot, use the wire brush again to give it a final scrub.

TL;DR in English: Clean the grill. Light the fire. Spread out the coals. Preheat the grill.

Listen out for a brief popping sound form the speaker.  This might require you to unscrew the speaker out of its holder. Only remove the wires if you're comfortable handling electronics. Remove the speaker cover so you can inspect the speaker itself. Attach the wires to a 9-volt battery again and observe the speaker. If the cone moves, your problem is in the connection, not the speaker. These simple electronic tools help measure ohms and voltages. They can be found at your local electronic store or hardware store. You can also use an ohmmeter. Set your device to reading ohms if you're using a multimeter. Make sure that the speakers are turned off. Touch the lead of your device to each terminal of the speaker. The terminal is the part of the speaker where the wires attach.  If you get a reading of 1.0 ohms, then that speaker is not blown and the problem is somewhere else. If the device reads infinite ohms, then your speaker is blown.

Consommé can be served chilled or hot. To serve it hot, simply ladle individual portions into soup bowls as soon as the consommé is ready. Otherwise, allow the consommé to cool to room temperature, and then chill it in the refrigerator for one to two hours before serving. Chilled consommé is best served alone or simply garnished with fresh herbs. You can serve hot consommé with vegetables to make the soup into a more filling meal or starter. Traditionally, consommé is served with raw or [Blanch-Vegetables|blanched vegetables]] that have been julienned, which means cut into small, thin sticks. Vegetables you can serve with consommé include:  Carrots Onions Peppers Broccoli Mushrooms Celery Hot consommé can also be served with meat slices, meat balls, sausage, or dumplings to make it a heartier dish. You can use fish, vegetable, pork, beef, or chicken dumplings, and any kind of sausage or meat you like. Place the meat or dumplings into the serving bowl and ladle hot consommé on top before serving. Make sure meat and dumplings are cooked through before adding the soup, because they will not cook in the consommé. Right before serving the consommé, you can spruce it up by adding chopped fresh herbs as a garnish. Add your vegetables, meat, dumplings, and other additions first, then ladle the soup into the bowl, and then sprinkle the herbs on top. Popular herbs to pair with consommé include:  Parsley Chives Rosemary Saffron

It can save a lot of time looking at the history of your local area as that way you will have a fair concept of what to expect, if anything is in your area. If your home has been occupied for many generations, you will likely find a better structure of the history to analyze. Places with little records, or that were known to have phases of occupation and desertion can be just as fascinating. It is important to know the local history or local myths. If your area is said to have history dating back hundreds of years, it can be a far more complex job to correctly identify layers, whereby if you are in a new development, the likelihood of finding old and complex human activity is minimal. In this case, interesting finds or anything you don't understand should be referred to the local museum or archaeological authority. Earthworks can include signs of ploughing, levelling, terracing, or raising the earth to build on. There can also be banks and ditches, which can have a range of interpretations––these changes may have been recent, or much older and may be very subtle. Other useful signs to look for include:  Parch marks or stunted growth in grass or fields. While this can be caused by plant pathology and soil fungus, regular shapes or marks where the soil is dry can be signs of compacted earth and foundations of buildings or other structures (including smaller things such as old bird baths, sundials, ponds and other garden furniture). Natural stone close to the surface could be of geological interest. There may be evidence of chemicals or waste dumping in the past. In this case, proceed with great caution, as exposing yourself to dangerous chemicals can be harmful or even lethal. (Contact your local authority if you are concerned this is the case.) It might be near a river or stream for water supplies, good soil for agriculture, forests for wood and hunting, local hills and valleys that protect from the elements and other aspects.

Queen ants in existing colonies will venture off to start new colonies during certain times of the year. Local entomologists (people who study insects) or even local pest control companies will likely know the best time of year for you to search for a queen ant venturing off to build a new colony. Day length, temperature, and rainfall are just a few of the variables to take into consideration for your area regarding when a queen will do this. For dryer areas such as the Southwest, it will usually be in the springtime, whereas later summer monsoons may be the ideal time in other regions. The more ant colonies you check during the correct window of opportunity, the more likely you will be to find a queen ant during her search. A queen is also likely to try to build a colony in an area where other ant colonies already thrive, so look for spots in undeveloped areas with several colonies within a short distance of one another. Queen ants and the males that mate with them don’t simply fly out of the mature colony entrance knowing where to go. During the correct window, you might see several queen ants walking around near the entrance to their parent colony. During this period, the queen ants are testing the weather to decide on the right time to start a new colony.  Since you're looking for a queen ant, you should know how to differentiate them from the other ants in the colony. At this stage, the queen ant will have wings. However, even after the stage where she pulls off her wings, you can identify her by her much larger size compared to the other ants. This will be most prominent in the thorax, which is the middle section of the ant between the head and the abdomen of the ant. You can also find additional characteristics provided at: How to Identify a Queen Ant  If you simply want a queen ant, this is the ideal time to cup one; however, if you want a queen ant in order to start your own ant colony, then you shouldn’t do it yet. These still winged queen ants have not yet mated in this step of colony building....

TL;DR in English: Contact an expert about the best time. Find an area with several active ant colonies. Look for a queen ant. Wait until you see a queen ant wandering around erratically. Handle your new queen ant with care.

You can't shoot back until your drink is drunk. After the last cup is made, the team behind gets 2 shots (one per partner) to try to rebut. This one is definitely different. Play with 2 beer pong balls. One is white, one is yellow. One partner shoots the white beer pong ball, the other shoots the yellow beer pong ball. If you make the yellow beer pong ball, you get it right back and retain your turn. You keep getting it back as long as you make it. Teams decide which player wants to throw their money ball. You can rotate back and forth between throwing the white beer pong ball or the money beer pong ball. Whoever is on a roll typically should throw the money beer pong ball. If the ball is spinning around the cup and not yet touching the beer, female players can attempt to blow it out of the cup before it touches beer. Male beer pong players can not blow the beer pong ball out of the cup in the event it is spinning. If one team didn't make a shot the entire game, first they finish the other teams' beers. Then they proceed to take off their clothes and streak 1 time around the house/apartment.

Take 2 by 6 in (5.1 by 15.2 cm) boards, measure the length of your walls and mark the measurements on the boards with a pencil or marker. Then, use a circular saw to cut the boards to size.  You can also measure your walls and purchase pre-cut boards that fit your measurements. Ask an employee at the hardware or home improvement store that you purchase your boards from to cut them to size for you. A hammer drill is a powerful tool that will allow you to drill into the concrete foundation. Drill holes spaced out about 12 inches (30 cm) apart through both of the boards and into the concrete beneath them.  The holes will be needed so you can attach the anchor bolts. Start the drill slowly and bring it up to full speed to drive through the boards and into the foundation. You can rent hammer drills from home improvement stores. Align the boards so the holes line up with the ones in the slab. Slide a nut on the threaded end of the anchor bolt to protect it and use a hammer to knock the bolt into the holes. Then, tighten the nut to secure the boards to the concrete slab. Install anchor bolts into all of the holes you drilled in the slab. Use a wrench to tighten the bolts as much as you can so the boards are securely fastened. Line up 2 by 6 in (5.1 by 15.2 cm) boards directly above the boards anchored on the ground. Use 6 in (15 cm) wood screws to attach them to the ceiling above the slab.  You’ll need the boards in the ceiling in order to install your wall studs. Make sure the boards are secure in the ceiling. Take 2 by 6 in (5.1 by 15.2 cm) boards with a length that reaches from the framing board on the slab to the board on the ceiling.

Look for open positions for certified forklift drivers on online job sites and boards. Check for open calls for forklift drivers for particular construction sites or warehouses. Employment websites like Indeed.com, Snagajob.com, and Monster.com are all good options. If you are already working in a warehouse or on a site, see if there are any opens for forklift drivers. Talk to your supervisor or the foreman about taking on this position. Most forklift drivers will work their way up from working as a warehouse associate or a material moving position. Go in person and inquire about open forklift driver positions in your area. Many construction sites and warehouses will put out a call for drivers through their local employment centers. Bring a copy of your resume and proof of your OSHA certification with you. Employers are more likely to hire you if they know you are certified and ready to work. Make sure you list your OSHA certification on your resume as a credential. Some employers will offer to arrange your OSHA certification as long as you take the online portion of the training. Forklift drivers usually get paid an hourly wage of $15-$16 USD. Over time, you can work your way up to earning $20 USD an hour. You usually work eight hour shifts. Your work hours can vary, as forklift drivers will often work at night or in the early morning to complete a job.  If you are working in a warehouse that operates 24 hours a day, you may work longer shifts or several shifts in a row. Your employer should outline your pay and work hours before you start working as a forklift driver.

Your bills may have become torn while wet, or the water damaged certain features on your money. Thankfully, your bank will replace those bills if they are merely damaged as opposed to mutilated. Damaged bills are those that retain at least 50 percent of its original form, and can be easily identified without any inspection from a currency specialist. If your money is water logged beyond all hope, there's still a chance its full value can be redeemed. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) in the Department of Treasury accepts mutilated currency claims, which include wet money. However, there a few requirements that need to be met before placing a claim.  More than 50 percent of the bill must be able to be identifiable as U.S. currency by the BEP. If your wet bills have been severely ripped, the BEP may still accept them if you can provide enough supporting evidence that the missing portions have been destroyed. For those in the United Kingdom, The Bank of England offers a similar service for replacing damaged currency. It's easy for you to further damage your wet currency while you're sending it out. Find a sturdy envelope for your currency, and learn to take extra precautions when packing it.  For wet bills that were rolled, never attempt to unroll or straighten them out. For bills that were straight when water damaged, don't roll them up or add any adhesive if the bills were ripped. Wet currency that's especially frail should be wrapped in cotton or plastic in order to preserve it as much as possible.

TL;DR in English: Go to your local bank. Send your money to the United States Treasury. Know how to properly send in your mutilated currency.

Cover over holes with a thick layer of sheet wrap tape. Then, warm the tape up briefly with a heat gun to cause it to stick to the shrink wrap. In addition to the holes, tape over noticeable seams joining shrink wrap sheets together.  The tape adheres better when the shrink wrap is still warm. If you have to let the shrink wrap cool, you may need to warm it up very briefly again to get the tape to stick. Read the manufacturer’s recommendations on the shrink wrap tape for more specific instructions about how to cover up damaged spots. The vents fit on the top side of the boat above the deck. You will need 4 to 6 vents for a small powerboat. Space these out along the boat, placing a vent close to each corner. Stick them directly onto the shrink wrap.  A great place for the vents is over your boat’s taped up fuel vents. The vents let moisture out from underneath the shrink wrap, preventing mold from growing on your boat. To figure out how many vents you need, refer to a size guide. Try using https://dr-shrink.com/boat-size-venting-chart-cheat-sheet/. Use a film knife to slice away the shrink wrap inside the vent opening. Then, fit the cap in place. It comes included with any vents you get. Once all of the vent caps have been firmly lodged onto the vent, you’re done with the main winterization process. Installing a zippered door is similar to installing a vent. Find an accessible spot on top of your boat, then lay the door over the shrink wrap. Tape the door in place before cutting out the opening. Pull the zipper to close the door until you need to climb inside the boat. Most shrink wrap manufacturers offer zippered doors. Zippered doors do not break the shrink wrap seal you worked so diligently to install, so add a door if you think you will need to get into the boat during the winter.

The consonant v is pronounced as the English 'w' as in water. The word via (road), is pronounced "wi-a." Original Latin texts used the letter V in place of the vowel U as well (since the letter U did not exist). Modern Latin textbooks typically update the text to use the letter U for the vowel, and V only as the consonant. Latin did not originally have the letter j, but some modern writers use it to avoid confusion. If J does appear, it is always pronounced "y" as in "you." If you are reading Latin as it was originally spelled, the letter i is sometimes this consonant "y," and sometimes a vowel. For example, the name Iulius or "Julius" is pronounced "Yoo-lee-us." Unlike in English, each Latin letter is almost always pronounced in a consistent way:  C is always hard, as in "cat." cum (with) = koom G is always hard, as in "goal." ago (I drive) = ah-go S is always a voiceless "s" sound as in "snake." spuma (foam) = spoo-ma R is always rolled. This sound doesn't exist in most English dialects, so beginners can pronounce this as they would normally say "R." The only tricky part about a Latin h is that it always stays an h! Don't get fooled by combinations like "th" or "ch" — they do not have any special meaning in Latin. Just pronounce the first consonant as you would normally. If you want perfect pronunciation, try to include the h by making the following vowel breathier, as in "hot house" or "uphill" Apart from the exceptions above, you can pronounce consonants as you would in "proper" English (the form usually taught in schools).  Enunciate to keep the sounds distinct. For example, Classical Latin "t" is always pronounced clearly as a hard "t," never softening to a sloppy "d" sound.  There are a small number of corner cases which are not important for beginners. If you want to become a Latin pronunciation expert, these are covered in the extra rules later on.

TL;DR in English: Say V as W. Pronounce i or j as y when it is a consonant. Standardize your pronunciations of other consonants. Keep your H an H. Pronounce other consonants as they appear.

These are an excellent way for you to gain insight into the human struggles of everyday life in Japan.  Some notable films on Japanese culture and expatriate experiences are:   Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011)  The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness (2013)  Hafu: The Mixed-Race Experience in Japan (2013)  Brakeless (2014)  Kokoyakyu: High School Baseball (2006)  The Invention of Dr. Nakamats (2009) "Men Behind The Sun" (1988) Even if you don't plan on getting your degree in Japanese language or culture, learning the historical reason for contemporary culture can clear misconceptions and minimize out-of-context assumptions. Weeaboos are perceived as doing just this. Fixation on aspects of Japanese without the cultural framework necessary for accurate interpretation can lead to a warped perspective. As an added bonus, your knowledge of Asiatic history and culture will improve your ability to make sense of future encounters with Japanese culture. If a college course is out of the question, you can contact your local Japanese Cultural Center or embassy to see if there are activities you can join. Popular traditional arts you can ask about:  Taiko (太鼓) drum classes Kendo (剣道, Japanese fencing) Shodou (書道, Japanese calligraphy) Sadou (茶道, Japanese tea ceremony). A frequent criticism of the weeaboo subculture is that its members only consume overly dramatized mass media. Reading on a variety of topics will help you to achieve a more complete picture of the intricacies of the Japanese way of life. Language and culture are closely linked. Many foreign languages contain words or concepts that simply don't exist in your native tongue, and learning these can equip you with tools necessary to pin down foreign perspectives. In the same way, exposing yourself to other cultures promotes broader cultural awareness. You don't need to study Japanese have the advantages that accompany bilingualism. If there is a community nearby that speaks a language different than your own, immersing yourself in that community can promote acquisition.

It is very difficult for a constructive dialogue to take place if there is no common ground of understanding between the two parties.  Before engaging in a conversation with a religious person, educate yourself on the basics of their beliefs.  Especially if you are very unfamiliar with the person’s religion, search online, read articles, consult books, and consider taking a look at the faith’s sacred text(s).  This will help you better understand where the other person is coming from, and will help you to generate questions about their faith.  It is completely fair for you to expect the same of the other person.  Offer to recommend some key atheist works that speak to your point of view, and ask the person to consult them to facilitate your discussion.  You can always delay and resume the conversation at another time. Before you can explain to others what it means to be an atheist, you need to be able to explain it to yourself. You don’t have to use a textbook definition of atheism — there is no single “atheist” view, just as there is no single “Christian” or “Hindu” view. Come up with a definition that works for you.  Before you begin the conversation, ask if the person understands what an atheist is. You may want to say, “I’m looking forward to talking with you about atheism. Before we start, why don’t you tell me what you know about it.” If they don’t know anything about atheism, or assume that it means you believe in nothing or are satanic in some way, don’t criticize them for it. Instead, quickly provide them with some basic information about atheism. You can start the conversation by saying, “Why don’t I tell you a little bit more about atheism, so you know where I’m coming from.” If necessary, provide some source recommendations for the other person to consult and request that you resume the conversation at another time. Make an effort to understand the other point of view by listening and asking questions. This will show that you are engaged in the discussion.  If you don’t have specific questions,...

TL;DR in English: Do your homework. Define what atheism means to you. Ask questions and listen to answers with curiosity and respect. Avoid taking cheap shots. Be open to learning something new.

Pick a few days at the beginning of the fall or spring when the weather is mild to top-dress your lawn. Work 3-4 weeks before the severe heat of summer or the cold of winter so your grass has time to grow. You can fill in low spots all at once or you can work in small sections of your yard. Sometimes, drainage problems or damaged pipes could cause your lawn to be uneven. Look for areas where water pools near pipes and hire a professional to come inspect them if you suspect that they’re broken or damaged.  If you’re not sure where water lines run, contact your city’s water department to help you locate them. Do not try to level your lawn if you suspect and underlying issues. Get a bag of lawn soil that contains sand, soil, and compost from your local gardening or landscaping store and empty it into a wheelbarrow. Use a rake to sift through the soil and break apart any clumps larger than 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) so you can spread it on your lawn evenly. Use a hose attachment with a shower option to lightly water your lawn. The water will help your soil settle so you can see the depth of the holes you need to fill. Make sure the soil feels soft underneath your grass instead of hard and dry. Don’t overwater your lawn since it will be hard to work with when it’s too wet. Deep soil that’s covering grass can cause decay and harm the rest of your lawn. Measure the depths of your holes to see if they are deeper than 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm). If they are, use a shovel to remove the grass from the surface so you can lay the soil down.  If the hole is shallower than 2 inches (5.1 cm), then you can put soil directly on the grass. Save the grass if you can because you may be able to replant it when you’re finished filling in the holes. Start on an area of your lawn that’s 2–3 square feet (0.19–0.28 m2) and spread a few shovelfuls of the soil from your wheelbarrow. Try to spread the soil evenly across the holes in the area. Tamp the dirt into the holes with the back of your shovel. You can top-dress your entire lawn if you want, or...

TL;DR in English: Fill in low spots in your lawn in the fall or spring. Check your yard for drainage issues or broken pipes. Break apart lawn soil in a wheelbarrow. Water your lawn to loosen up the soil. Remove the grass if the hole is deeper than 2–3 in (5.1–7.6 cm). Shovel the lawn soil into the holes in your lawn. Spread the soil evenly with a garden rake. Water the soil and let the topsoil settle for 1-2 days. Replant grass in any bare spots if you need to. Check the level of your lawn with a wooden board and level.

Ordinary ministers are pastors, preachers, bishops, priests, and sometimes deacons who are vested with the authority to perform the sacrament. Priests have the power to perform baptisms without consulting with a bishop, and they may delegate the job to a deacon. Technically, anyone can perform a Catholic baptism. However, this is usually only done in extreme cases – i.e. when someone is lying on his or her deathbed, and fervently wishes to become baptized and to receive salvation. Pick two people that you think would make great godparents. If you are a child or a teenager, then you may really want to consider designating godparents. If you are an adult, then this step is optional. Ask family members or close friends – people that you trust. Set a date. Invite friends and family. Decide whether you want a big, fancy event, or an intimate affair. Most people hold their baptism ceremony at their local church. Consider supplying food to create a reception-like time of fellowship. Hire a catering company and budget how much you will spend on food. Alternately, ask a friend or family member to help with the refreshments. Set the date and plan everything out. When the special day comes, take the child to church. The priest, minister, or deacon will administer the ceremony. When people are baptized as babies, they often have holy water sprinkled over them. As a child, teenager, or adult, you will kneel, sit, or lie in holy water. Specific rites may vary depending on which Church is baptizing you. Some churches will sprinkle the child with holy water and say that this is enough. Other churches insist that you must be fully immersed in order to be truly baptized. Consult with your priest or minister. The administrator of the ceremony (the priest or minister) will bless you "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." He or she will dunk the child into the water, then pull him/her out again. Once the child has been blessed and immersed, the baptism is complete.
