Use a table saw to make the cuts. Cut a series of grooves against the grain. Cut almost to the edge of the wood. Bend the wood inward. Fill the kerfs if desired.

Thresh the lentils to shake them loose from the plant. Remove pods by hand if any remain after threshing. Winnow the lentils to remove the chaff and other debris. Store the lentils in a dry, cool place.

You won't see the result immediately, but keeping a dryer garden is the best method for long-term slug control. Here are some tactics for making your garden less friendly to the damp-loving pests:  Water plants in the early to mid morning, so the soil dries before nightfall.  Install drip irrigation to minimize water use. Keep the yard free of debris, and mow the lawn regularly. Avoid organic mulches, such as straw or grass clippings. Space plants far enough apart to allow air flow between them. The following plant preparations all deter slugs to some extent, if you can find them in your local gardening store:  Oak leaf mulch or tobacco stem meal, spread as a barrier around plants Wormwood tea, made from steeping artemisia cuttings in warm water for 24 hours. Strain and combine with soapy water, then spray onto soil or slugs. Purchase strips of copper foil wide enough that the slugs can’t bridge it with their bodies. Use them to form a barricade around your plants or planting beds. Young children may cut themselves on the strips. Spread salt on the surface where the slugs are crawling around to kill them by drawing out moisture. Be aware that salt can easily kill plants and ruin soil. Use this around the base of potted plants on a porch, or place a barrier on the soil prior to spreading the salt in order to protect the integrity of the soil. Avoid using salt in situations where it can come into the contact with water (like when rainy weather is likely or a sprinkler is running). Water can dissolve salt and wash it off of "safe" surfaces and into the soil, harming soil quality. Frustrated gardeners have thrown just about any substance in their garden to try to keep slugs away. The following are the best of these homemade solutions, but are unlikely to deter 100% of slugs:  Coffee grounds may have mild effects on the health of your garden. Sharp, coarse sand scrapes against slugs, but may not deter them completely. Seaweed is not as effective as plain salt, but perhaps a little safer for your soil. Calcified...

TL;DR in English: Keep your garden dry. Create mulch or tea from certain plants. Make a copper strip barrier. Sprinkle salt on non-soil surfaces. Build folk remedy barriers. Grow plants that deter slugs. Consider using more powerful (but more hazardous) barriers.

A kerf is just a saw cut, and kerfing means cutting a series of these slits so your wood can bend. The result is much weaker than other methods of bending wood, but it keeps the wood permanently flexible along that curve. It is also the fastest approach, and does not require special equipment. The cuts must be against the grain to reduce the chance of splitting the wood. Use a table saw to make these cuts along the part of the wood you'd like to bend. Space your cuts evenly (and close together) with a jig, or use a visual indicator on your table to get a consistent distance between cuts. In order to bend your wood more than a slight curve, you'll need to cut almost entirely through the wood. Leave only a thin edge to hold the wood together. Bend the wood so the "spines" left by your cut touch, forming a single stress-bearing edge. You can now keep the bend in place by fastening the two ends of the lumber to a stable object. Remember that this is a weak bend, and do not rely on it to support much weight or stress. If you want to hide the gaps left by the saw, plug them with wood filler that matches your lumber. Alternatively, leave the wood as-is if you prefer the aesthetic, or if you would like to bend it to different angles.

TL;DR in English: Plan your project. Cut a series of grooves against the grain. Cut almost to the edge of the wood. Bend the wood inward. Fill the kerfs if desired.

There are many ways you can thresh the lentils. You can start with small stems and rub the plants between your hands until the lentils fall off. Or you can put the lentils in a bag or pillowcase. Hit the bag with a stick or walk on top of the bag to free the lentils. Threshing can also help shell the lentils, breaking them away from their pods. You can also remove the lentils by hand. If they are mature, they should come off easily when you pull them from the plant. Since this can be time consuming, only do this for lentils that did not come off from shaking the plant.  Try rubbing off any remaining pods. Put the stem in the palm of your hand and use your fingers to separate the lentils. If the lentils don't fall off easily, they may not be ripe enough. Try leaving them on a drying rack for a few days. Get 2 buckets that can hold your harvest. Stand outside and pour the lentils into 1 bucket. Lift up the bucket and pour the lentils into the second bucket. Keep pouring the lentils between the buckets until most of the chaff blows away.  When you pour the lentils into the bucket, chaff blows away in the wind while the heavier lentils remain in the buckets. If you can't go outside, stand in front of a fan on a low setting. Chaff includes leaves, stems, and other bits of dirt that might become mixed in with the lentils. It can also include shattered seed bits. Keep dried lentils in a jar or plastic container, preferably one that is airtight. Put the container in a pantry, cabinet, or another dry place. Dried lentils will last for about 10-12 months if stored properly. It can be difficult to tell when lentils have gone bad. If they appear hard and brittle or if they take longer to cook than normal, you may wish to toss them.

TL;DR in English:


Get plenty of rest. Drink lots of fluids. Try to avoid being around people for a couple of days. Use a humidifier. Purchase lozenges or gargle saltwater for a sore throat. See a doctor if you have preexisting health conditions that could make your infection worse.

It’s a good idea to store any travel documents, visas and passports in a special pouch or bag where you won’t misplace them. Be sure to bring refills of any medicines that you won’t be able to replace while you’re traveling, along with toiletries that are must-haves and will be hard to find when you get there. A journal and camera are important so you can keep memories from your trip for years to come. If you’re bringing a tablet, this can double as a journal, and potentially a camera. Otherwise consider a small, point-and-shoot camera. Don’t forget that extra memory card and battery.  We all have our trusty chap stick that we absolutely can’t live without. So if you’re worried you could run out and not be able to find an essential item on your trip, pack an extra to be safe.  Back up credit or debit cards and a photocopy of your passport and visa could come in handy if you happen to misplace these items or they are stolen. If your allergies occasionally flair up or you tend to get migraines, make sure you’re better safe than sorry and pack appropriate medications. As a bonus you can also use this to carefully consider what you’ll need for each activity or stop on your trip. You’ll be able to easily anticipate what each day will bring. You may even notice a few items to eliminate because they won't be of use.  If you aren’t entirely sure what will come in handy for each stop on your trip, research online reviews to find out what others say about the experience and what they wish they’d brought. For instance, find out if a boat trip you’re planning to take provides sunscreen and towels or if this is something you’ll need to pack.  Comfortable shoes may be the single most important item you pack. Typically this includes a pair that ties and has arch support, although it varies by person. Bring articles of clothing that aren’t too specific and will match with multiple items you packed. This way you won’t need to worry about what’s clean and what needs washing. Plan to bring three pairs of socks, underwear, and...

TL;DR in English: First pack items that you know you can’t live without. Print out your itinerary to reference once you arrive at your destination and to help you stay organized from day-to-day. Pack in threes. Consider the culture and dress code for where you’re traveling and pack accordingly. Find a reputable guidebook and foreign language phrasebook. Be prepared with appropriate containers and zip lock bags to make going through airport security a breeze. Bring books, music, your laptop and anything else to entertain you during the lengthy flight, layover, and potential delays.

To cook your own pumpkin seeds, you must start with raw seeds, and the best place to get these is a fresh pumpkin. Cut open your pumpkin by cutting off the top and quartering it, or by cutting an angled hole around the stem. Remove the seeds with a spoon. Transfer the seeds to a colander and rinse them under running water. Pick through with your fingers to remove the stringy bits and orange flesh. Toss the seeds to remove excess water. The easiest way to toast pumpkin seeds is to cook them in a frying pan. Place a dry 10-inch skillet over medium heat and let it preheat for two to three minutes. A dry frying pan means there is no oil or other liquid in it. Add the pumpkin seeds to the hot frying pan and spread them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Cook the seeds for four to five minutes.  As the seeds cook, toss them around in the pan or stir them with a wooden spoon every minute. The seeds are ready when they become golden brown and puff up. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the warm seeds to a bowl. Drizzle in the oil, add the spices, and toss to coat. You can season the seeds with a pinch of:  Salt Pepper Cinnamon Curry powder Herbs, such as rosemary or thyme

TL;DR in English: Collect and clean the seeds. Heat the frying pan. Toast the seeds. Season with oil and spices before serving.

When your body gets infected with a virus, it works overtime to keep functioning while also fighting off your infection. Because of this, it's important to rest. Take a day or two off work or school and do low-energy activities like watching a movie or sleeping in bed. Resting will allow your body to focus all of its energy on overcoming the virus. Other low-energy activities you can do if you can’t sleep include:  Reading a book, catching up on your favorite TV show, listening to music in bed, and calling someone on the phone. Be aware that antibiotics are not effective against viral infections and that, in general, you need to simply rest and allow your body to combat the virus. Viral infections generally lead to dehydration (as a result of water lost through mucus production and fever). When you become dehydrated, your symptoms will get worse; it's a vicious cycle that you should try to break out of by drinking plenty of liquids. Drink water, tea, natural juice, and drinks with electrolytes to stay hydrated. Try to stay away from alcohol or caffeinated beverages, as these types of drinks can actually dehydrate you further. Viruses are contagious, which means that you can actually pass the virus to others, making them sick as well. Being around other people can also put you at risk of being exposed to other microorganisms like bacteria, which could make you more sick than you already are.  Take at least two days off of work or school to avoid getting other people sick. If you absolutely have to go into work or school, wear a mask to prevent others from becoming infected. The mask will prevent contagious particles from spreading through the air, especially if you are coughing or sneezing. Using a humidifier, particularly in your room at night as you try to fall asleep, can help to ease symptoms of congestion and cough. This will help you to sleep better, and a better quality sleep equates to improved healing capacity. Be sure that your humidifier is clean to prevent any air contamination (such as with molds)...

Set up your two equations in standard format and look at the coefficients of each of your variables. You are looking for the circumstance where the numbers are the same but the signs are different.  Consider this example:  x−3y=5{\displaystyle x-3y=5} 2x+3y=19{\displaystyle 2x+3y=19}   By examination, you should see that the first equation contains the term −3y{\displaystyle -3y}, while the second equation contains the term 3y{\displaystyle 3y}. These two terms are opposites of each other. Working across the system from left to right, add each term of the first equation to the corresponding term of the second equation. It may be helpful simply to draw a long horizontal line across the bottom of the two equations and add downward, as you would with any ordinary addition problem. The above example works out as follows:  x−3y=5{\displaystyle x-3y=5} 2x+3y=19{\displaystyle 2x+3y=19} ------------------------- 3x=24{\displaystyle 3x=24} Because you were adding, and one of your terms contained opposites, then one of the variables should be eliminated from the problem. Rewrite what you have left as a single equation.  In the example above, the y{\displaystyle y} variable was eliminated. The remaining equation is 3x=24{\displaystyle 3x=24}. Because one of the variables gets eliminated in this method, as with the prior subtraction method, some textbooks will refer to this as the “elimination” method of solving a system of equations. What you have left should be a fairly simple, one-variable equation. Solve it by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient. In the example above, divide both sides of 3x=24{\displaystyle 3x=24} by 3. You will be left with the solution x=8{\displaystyle x=8}. Take that solution, in our example x=8, and substitute it in place of x{\displaystyle x} in either one of the original equations. Choose the first equation:   x−3y=5{\displaystyle x-3y=5}          (original equation)  8−3y=5{\displaystyle 8-3y=5}          (insert value of x) -3y={\displaystyle 3y=}-3{\displaystyle 3}      ...

TL;DR in English: Examine the equations in standard format. Add corresponding terms. Write out the result. Solve for the remaining variable. Solve the second variable. Check your two solutions. Write out your solution.

If your toe is fractured, it's going to hurt when you put your weight on it, or when pressed on. You will probably still be able to walk, but moving around might make the pain worse. The presence of pain does not necessarily mean that the toe is broken, but persistent pain can be an indication of a fracture or break.  If putting weight on your toe is excruciatingly painful, you might have a bad break.  In this case, you should see a doctor right away. Minor fractures aren't as painful, and may not need medical treatment. Tingling in addition to pain could indicate a fracture. See a doctor right away.

TL;DR in English: Assess your pain level.

You may feel like everything is going wrong or is about to go wrong, and you can do nothing to stop it. Alternatively, you may feel a sense of panic about the situations in your life.  Some people feel like they are always on edge or that everything in life can lead to something horrible.  Some people have panic attacks, which are a sudden onset of fear that can feel overwhelming. Though everyone feels anxious from time to time, anxiety that is persistent and pervasive is a bit more serious. If you have had major anxiety in your life for half a year or more, you should talk to your doctor about it. Anxiety doesn't just manifest in psychological ways; you'll also notice physical symptoms. For instance, you may shake, sweat, or breathe too quickly. You may also have a rapid heart beat. In addition, you could feel very tired, or you may not be able to focus on what you need to do. You could also have symptoms such as stomach problems, dizziness, headaches, or even chest pain. If you are just upset by anxiety every once and a while with few side effects, that likely means you don't have an anxiety disorder. However, if your anxiety affects your life everyday, whether by consuming your thoughts or stopping you from doing things, you may have an anxiety disorder. Depending on the type of disorder you have, your anxiety can look somewhat different. In addition, what triggers it can vary widely from person to person, or it may have no trigger at all.  Generalized anxiety disorder means you may feel excessive worry about your everyday life, even if nothing bad is happening at the moment. Panic disorder is when you suddenly have attacks of fear or anxiety that often last for just a few minutes but can last much longer. Social phobia is essentially a fear of being embarrassed. This embarrassment may keep you from doing certain things or going where you may want to go because you're afraid you'll do something embarrassing.

What do you want your movie to be about? Do you want an exciting adventure? Do you want a fantasy story? Do you want a love story? You could also try action, mystery, or science fiction.  If you're not sure where to start, think about your favorite movies. You don't want to copy them, but you can make a similar movie. You can also mix and match ideas. You don't have to choose just one! But, try not to let it get too crazy. Save some ideas for the next movie. You can even make a movie based on one of your favorite books or stories! The main character is the person who leads the story. For instance, in the film Brave, Merida is the main character. She's the hero, and the story is all about what happens to her and what decisions she makes.  You can have more than one main character, such as Nemo and Marlin in Finding Nemo.  Basically, your main character will drive the story forward. Your movie is all about them and what they do. "Story" is also known as "plot." Basically, it's just what happens. Writing it down in a few short sentences can help keep you focused.  Think about what happens to your main character. Maybe you want them to go on a journey to find treasure. That's the end of the story, so your sentences could be: "Jessie finds a map in her attic with a mysterious place marked on it. She decides to find the place! Along the way, she meets Robbie, a very smart young boy in the neighborhood, and they follow the map and find treasure." You can also write it as "What if?" statement, such as "What if a girl finds a map in her attic that leads her to a buried treasure?" When first starting your story, your character is going through normal life. They need something to set them off on a journey, such as the map in the example. They need to be working towards something, which results in the high point of the story, called the climax. The climax is the most exhilarating part of the story. It's the point where a suspect is about to get caught in a mystery, or in our case, it could be the point where Jessie finds...

The Law of Cosines allows you to solve any triangle when you know two side lengths and measurement of the angle between them. It works on any triangle, and is a very useful formula. The Law of Cosines states that for any triangle with sides a, b, and c, with opposite angles A, B, and C:   c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab cos(C). The first side that you know should be labeled a, and the angle opposite it is A.  The second side that you know should be labeled b; the angle opposite it is B.  The angle that you know should be labeled C, and the third side, the one you need to solve in order to find the perimeter of the triangle, is side c. For example, imagine a triangle with side lengths 10 and 12, and an angle between them of 97°.  We will assign variables as follows: a = 10, b = 12, C = 97°. You will first need to find the squares of a and b, and add them together.  Then find the cosine of C using the cos function on your calculator, or an online cosine calculator. Multiply cos(C) by 2ab and subtract the product from the sum of a2 + b2.  The result is c2.  Find the square root of this value and you have the length of side c.  Using our example triangle:   c2 = 102 + 122 - 2 × 10 × 12 × cos(97).  c2 = 100 + 144 – (240 × -0.12187)  (Round the cosine to 5 decimal places.) c2 = 244 – (-29.25)  c2 = 244 + 29.25  (Carry the minus symbol through when cos(C) is negative!) c2 = 273.25 c = 16.53 Recall that Perimeter P = a + b + c, so all you need to do is add the length you just calculated for side c to the values you already had for a and b. In our example: 10 + 12 + 16.53 = 38.53, the perimeter of our triangle!

If you are planning a party in January and live in Michigan, you must consider the possibility of snowy or bitingly cold weather. Consider both the guest of honor and his or her friends. For example, if you are planning a party in January and live in Michigan, you must consider the possibility of snowy or bitingly

Recognize if your guest of honor is mobile or requires assistance. Note if there are any risks involved. Consider transportation to and from the party. Remember the interests of the honored guest. Include your honored guest in the planning.

It’s best to choose one that’s close to the average penis size, which is about 4.7 to 6.3 inches (12 to 16 cm). Getting a dildo that’s too big will be very uncomfortable for you, and may cause bruising. After you know the size you want, choose the color you prefer, which may be the closest to your skin tone. Additionally, you can find dildos that have a foreskin, if that’s what you prefer. The harness will keep the dildo in place, plus it will allow you to easily use the dildo for sex. Once you have the harness on, tighten or loosen the straps as necessary to get a fit that’s comfortable to you. If you buy a dildo made for packing, it may come with a harness. As another alternative, you can look for a bundle containing both a dildo and a harness. You can wear any type of underwear you like. Additionally, you can wear your normal clothes over your harness and dildo. However, keep in mind that people may see your dildo under your clothes.  If you’re having a date night at home, you might enjoy showing off your erection through your pants. If you want to wear your dildo in public, try different positions for hiding your dildo to figure out which one is more comfortable for you. For example, your dildo may be less visible if you push it back between your legs or position it so it’s down against your thigh. These types of packers are really convenient for date nights. They allow you to easily go from flaccid bulge to erection so that you can have sex after a night out without changing your device. Each model is different, so read the product description to help you choose a device that does what you want. Some pack-and-play devices go from flaccid to hard if you tuck the dildo part of it between your legs when you’re not using it.

TL;DR in English: Choose a dildo that feels right to you. Put your dildo in a harness that you will wear. Wear your briefs or boxers over the harness and dildo. Consider purchasing a pack-and-play device for easier sex-play.

In other words, don’t apply insecticides when crops are in bloom!  Many pesticides and insecticides will have warning labels directing you not to use them while a crop is blooming. Since flowers attract honeybees, using an insecticide during a bloom can decimate honeybee populations in your area.   Always read and follow a pesticide’s label.  Choose products that have a “short residual” impact and are labeled “low hazard.” Alfalfa, sunflowers, and canola are especially attractive to honeybees, so take particular care when treating these crops. To help determine whether you should mow first, inspect the field to see if you can spot any foraging bees.  You can likely do so simply by walking along the edge of field and inspecting any flowering plants.  Note that some blooming plants do not necessarily produce colorful flowers. Pollen and nectar are only made available to bees by a most plants for a few hours of each day. Accordingly, make sure to scout a field during the time you plan to apply a chemical, particularly an insecticide. Late evening to early morning is usually idea. Shoot for somewhere between 8PM and 6AM.  If it’s expected to be cold the night after application, apply an insecticide in the beginning of this time frame. Colder weather may allow the insecticide to remain toxic for longer, so you want to allow more time before bees return to the fields. For corn, apply an insecticide anytime between late afternoon and midnight. Some pesticides are especially dangerous, not only to bees, but to other beneficial insects.  Neonicotinoids are able to “express” themselves throughout the chemical makeup of a plant itself, and will be expressed in nectar in pollen.  They will kill honeybees no matter when they are applied.  The pharmaceutical Bayer markets pesticides with these ingredients to both industrial farmers as well as consumers like you. Watch out for an ingredient called imidacloprid, as this is the most common neonicotinoid. Many of Bayer’s products include it.  Understand that by using these...

TL;DR in English: Do not use pesticides when bees are foraging. Scout a field before applying any chemicals. Time insecticide application carefully. Don’t use pesticides with neonicotinoids. Account for spray drift. Take care with fungicide application.

Does he or she get around easily, or only with help? Does he or she have trouble with steps, or walking through crowded rooms? Make sure your chosen venue is wheelchair-accessible (if necessary). Consider both the guest of honor and his or her friends. For example, if you are planning a party in January and live in Michigan, you must consider the possibility of snowy or bitingly cold weather. It may not be the best decision to bring a senior citizen out in nasty weather conditions as they are more susceptible to catching illnesses. Be prepared to change plans if the honoree is unwell on the date of the party. It would not be wise to have a 90-year-old attend a party if he or she was under the weather. Many (though not all) 90-year-olds no longer drive their own vehicles on a daily basis. Recognize if this will be an issue for your guest of honor. Offer to be a driver, or find someone who is willing to drive your honoree and his or her friends, if necessary. While you are planning a 90th birthday party, it does not have to be solely focused on the number 90. Instead, think of the current or past interests of your honoree and see if you can incorporate these into the party. This is a great opportunity to be creative!  If your birthday honoree loves the outdoors, consider booking a place in a local park and bringing food to cook on a grill. If your birthday honoree loves Italian food, book a private room at the nicest Italian restaurant in town, and decorate it before the party. If your honoree’s favorite and most memorable moment was her honeymoon in Paris, recreate a French restaurant in your kitchen and dining room and take her back to her younger days. Giving him or her a hand in the party planning can be a great topic of conversation and a fun way for them to stay involved in the party process.  Questions you may want to ask include:  Would you rather a small family gathering, or a large event with friends included? Would you rather a party in the afternoon or in the evening? Would you like a home-cooked...

that you can pull apart. A multi-strand embroidery floss is ideal for blanket stitching an applique onto a piece of fabric or a finished garment. You can find this type of thread in the embroidery section of a craft supply store. Choose embroidery floss in a color that will complement your applique.  For example, if you are sewing a red applique onto a piece of white fabric, then you might want to go with black embroidery floss to add contrast, or you could use red embroidery floss to match your applique. A heavyweight size 12 cotton thread will also work well for blanket stitching an applique. You do not have to separate out the strands if you choose this type of thread. with 3 strands of embroidery floss. Pull out 3 strands from the bundle of embroidery floss and cut them to about 18 in (46 cm). Hold the size 24 embroidery needle in your non-dominant hand so that the eye is facing up. Hold the freshly cut end of the thread in your dominant hand. Insert the ends into the eye and pull the thread until about 1/3 of it is through the eye. Then, tie a knot in the end of the longer side of the thread. If you are having trouble threading the needle, wet the ends of the thread with a bit of water or saliva. This will stiffen them and make it easier to push the ends through. Identify where you want the applique to go and pin it onto the front side of the fabric with the front side of the applique facing out. Insert the pins through the applique about 1 in (2.5 cm) from the edges so that they will not get in the way of your stitches.  You may only need 1 pin to hold a small applique in place while you sew, or you might need several to keep a large applique in place. You can buy an applique in a craft supply store, or make your own!

There are many outlets available for selling vintage clothing online. Before you begin to sell, research your options and decide what works for you.  You can sell vintage clothes on many mainstream websites. Auction sites like eBay can be helpful. You can set a base price and let potential buyers bid. You could end up making a good sum if two buyers want the same outfit. Sites like Etsy can also work, although bidding is infrequent. You can also look into specialty sites. These are auction sites and websites specifically designed for the sale of vintage clothing. Such websites can be helpful as you'll be reaching your target marketplace instantly. Once you've decided where you'll be selling, create an account on your chosen website. This should not take long.  Usually, you need to provide basic contact information like your name and address. You may also have to create a brief profile where you explain a little about your history and background. You can write something simple, just stating you love vintage clothing and are looking to sell some extras from your wardrobe. You'll need to put up some pictures of the items you're selling online. It's important that you get clear photographs. Buyers will want to see your outfits from multiple angles so they can decide whether or not to buy. Do not rely on a phone camera. Use a high quality camera to take photos of a given item from a variety of angles.  If you don't have a great camera, see if you can borrow one from a friend.

Ideal containers for a dish soap flea trap include cookie sheets, rubber tote lids, plates, and pie plates. You want a container with a large surface area and short sides. A shallow dish will help you catch as many fleas as possible, because the short sides won’t act as a barrier for jumping fleas that might land in the trap. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 ml) of liquid dish soap to the water. Swish the water around with a spoon or your finger to distribute the soap throughout the water.  Fleas don’t drown in plain water because they aren't heavy enough to break the water’s surface tension. Adding liquid dish soap to the water reduces the surface tension. When the fleas jump into the trap, they will sink and drown. A homemade flea trap doesn’t have the power to attract fleas, so it’s best to put it somewhere that fleas have already been in your house. Place a towel on the floor to catch spills, and lay the trap on top of the towel on the floor. Make multiple flea traps for different rooms if necessary. Common places to find fleas include:  On carpets and rugs Near pet bedding Near windows,doors and food Around pillows and furniture Around pet bowls Near drapes and curtains Fleas become active a couple of hours before sunset and stay active all night long, so the best time to catch them is overnight. Once you lay the trap, try to leave it undisturbed for the rest of the night. When possible, close the door to the room to keep pets and kids out. In the morning, check the trap for dead fleas. If you caught any, dump the soapy water and rinse the dish. Fill the dish with fresh water, add more dish soap, and lay the trap out again on the towel for the next night. Repeat each night until you stop catching fleas.

TL;DR in English: Fill a large, shallow dish with water. Add dish soap. Place the trap where fleas have been. Leave the trap overnight. Empty and refill the trap each morning.

Your birthing professional may encourage you to massage your abdomen in the hours and days after birth. If, however, they do not directly tell you that you should self-massage, consult them before starting to do so.  There may be a reason your birthing professional would not encourage self-massage. It is always important to consult with them first, or you could risk unnecessary pain and damage to your uterus. Once you're flat on your back, place your flat palms on your abdomen at about where your belly button is located. If your uterus is hard, meaning that you feel resistance when you press down, you should not need to massage the area. If the area is soft and you feel little resistance, a massage may be recommended. Take one hand and cup it slightly. Slowly move it in a circular motion over your lower abdomen. Do this until you feel your uterus contract.  The uterus should feel firm when it contracts. It may be a little uncomfortable, but it will not last too long. Your birthing professional will work with you to determine how many times a day you should massage your abdomen, and for how long. Follow their recommendations, and let them know if you experience any extreme pain or heavy bleeding during the massage.

TL;DR in English: Get your doctor's approval. Lie down flat and press at your belly button. Cup one hand. Repeat the massage process as instructed.

A contraction will feel like a tightening of muscles in your abdominal area, especially near your baby. However, a contraction is not always a sign of preterm labor, as you can have false contractions called Braxton Hicks contractions.  Braxton Hicks contractions are generally less severe than regular contractions. Though Braxton Hicks can be painful sometimes, actual contractions are usually accompanied by more pain and are more regularly spaced. In fact, actual contractions will move closer together as time passes.  If you're having more than eight contractions in an hour or more than four in 20 minutes, your contractions are likely not Braxton Hicks.  If you are having contractions and are worried, don't be afraid to call your doctor. She'll be better able to determine whether you are having false contractions or regular contractions. These false contractions can be triggered by a number of activities. If you or the baby has been moving around a lot, that can trigger them. You may also have a round of these contractions after sex or if you are especially dehydrated. Finally, a full bladder or even someone just touching your stomach can trigger these contractions. Therefore, if your contractions are light and started after these activities, they could just be false contractions instead of preterm labor. If your contractions are Braxton Hicks, they will eventually subside. To hurry the process along, try changing how you're positioned. Lie down if you've been moving around, or do the opposite if you've been lying down. You can also try drinking more fluids or getting extra rest to help alleviate these contractions over time. If you start feeling pressure in your lower abdomen, that could be a sign of preterm labor. You may also feel pressure in your pelvic area. If you're not sure whether the pressure you're feeling is preterm labor, call your doctor to be sure. If you start feeling cramps, it may be a sign of preterm labor. Generally, these cramps will feel like you are on your period. In addition, diarrhea...

The shape of your face is the most important part of the face shape.

Gather your supplies. Take some measurements. Compare your facial features. Examine the shape of your jaw.

This is a location that can have a lot of excess hair growth. Begin by using your thinning shears around the dog's shoulders if a ridge of hair has formed there. Then move your attention to the front of the dog, thinning the hair on its chest until it lies flat.  The length of your dog's fur will vary. A Golden Retriever doesn't have a short, tight coat, but instead has some length to it. When trimming your dog's coat, focus more on trimming fuzzy and unkempt fur, instead of trimming to a specific length. If you are unsure if you have removed enough hair, comb the coat out and see if the coat is lying flat. The goal is to have a nice flat coat that is balanced and symmetrical. As you trim, move the thinning shears with the direction of the growth. Using the thinning shears to trim the neck and chest will give the dog a more natural look.

TL;DR in English: Thin the undercoat around the Golden Retriever's chest and neck.

You and your child have the right to know why they are being expelled and what they are accused of. You also have the right to know the evidence collected. Both you and your child have the right to be heard. Some rights may differ by school district. Look on your school district’s website or ask a school employee for the school handbook on how to handle these procedures. You may seek legal counsel regarding your child’s expulsion. A juvenile lawyer can familiarize you and your child with your rights and recommend some directions to take. The lawyer can come with you and advise you and your child during the school board hearing.  While getting a lawyer is optional, it can help you to familiarize yourself with the process and know what to expect. If you’re not sure what to say to the school, a lawyer can step in and talk for you. Bring a lawyer with you to the board hearing and seek fair treatment. Find a lawyer who’s worked expulsion cases before. Look online or get a recommendation from someone you trust. Your child’s school should give you a date, time, and place of the hearing. You may wish to learn about the process of the hearing and what will happen during it, including who will speak and what will be discussed. You can bring a letter or plan to speak during the hearing. You should be able to review the school records before the hearing. If you feel that the expulsion is unjust and undeserved, appeal it. You always have the right to appeal. However, appeals are very rarely successful. Make sure you have a solid reason why you think this is a misunderstanding or an overstep. Otherwise, dragging out the process can be grueling and not lead to anything beneficial. An appeal would happen at the child’s expulsion hearing or shortly after. This process varies by school and may be outlined in the school handbook.

TL;DR in English: Know your child’s rights. Talk to a lawyer. Attend the expulsion hearing. Decide if you are going to appeal the decision.

There are multiple face shapes out there, and knowing what yours is can help you determine the hair cuts, eyebrow shapes, and makeup styles that will be most flattering.  To figure out the shape of your face, you will need a ruler and calculator. The most common face shapes include oval, heart, long, round, square, diamond, and pear. In a mirror, hold a ruler in front of your face to measure the basic length and width of your face, without taking into account the additional measurements added by protruding features like your nose. Take the basic measurements of your:  Forehead, from one eyebrow arch to the other Jawline, from the tip of your chin to the edge of your jaw (times two) Face length, from the tip of your chin to the start of your hairline Cheekbones, from the outside corner of one eye to the other (across the bridge of the nose) One of the easiest ways to determine the shape of your face is to look at the parts that are widest and longest.  If your measurements are roughly equal, your face is likely square, round, or oval. If your forehead is widest, you likely have a heart-shaped, or inverted triangle face. When cheekbones are the widest, this generally indicates a diamond-shaped face. A wider jaw often means a pear- or triangle-shaped face. If the length measurement of our face was the largest, this is oblong. The shape of your jaw plays into the overall shape of your face, so you must consider this when determining the shape of your face.  Rounded jaws mean a round or oval face Strong and well-defined jaws often mean square, diamond, or triangle faces Pointed chins indicate a diamond-shaped face

If you switch back and forth between Desktop and Modern (the UI that Windows 8 uses), you may want to pin your most used Modern apps to your Desktop's taskbar. This will let you easily open them while in Desktop mode. You can pin any of your Live Tiles, or move down to the All Apps screen and pin any of the apps listed. This will add a shortcut to the app on your Desktop taskbar. This is especially useful if you want to get rid of the Store button that appears on the taskbar after updating to 8.1.

Do not use equipment that will be used for cooking. Use bowls and equipment made from stainless steel, tempered glass, and enamel. Avoid using copper and aluminum as they have a negative reaction with lye. Moreover, some plastics melt when mixed with lye. Use soap-only spoons made of styrene plastic or silicone. You can pick up a variety of soap molds at your local craft store or use silicone baking pans. Silicone is prefered because you can peel off the soap molds easily. Aside from the actual ingredients you want in your soap, make sure you have a pint and a quart canning jar, a stainless steel thermometer that can read between 90 - 200 degrees Fahrenheit, newspaper, and an old towel.

TL;DR in English: Have the correct mixing bowls. Get creative when choosing soap molds. Gather all your tools.

If you are parking facing uphill, make sure to leave a full car's length of space behind your vehicle so that you can back into the curb. If you are parking on a downhill incline, you will need to leave a full car's length of space in front of your car so that the wheels can roll forward into position. Face your wheels away from the curb if you are parking uphill. Turn them facing towards the curb if you are parking downhill. Press your foot on the brake, put the car in neutral, and turn your steering wheel one full turn in the proper direction. This will keep the car from rolling out into traffic if the brakes fail.  If there is no curb, then turn your front wheels toward the edge of the road regardless of whether you're parking up or down. This way, your car will roll into the dirt or grass beside the road, and not into the path of oncoming traffic. Avoid "dry steering" – turning your wheels while the vehicle is completely stopped. This puts pressure on the tires and the power steering system. When you are ready, take your foot off the brake. Let the car roll slowly downhill until you feel your turned front tire touch the curb. Hit the brake and put the car in park. Make sure that there are no other cars coming up or down the hill behind you. Check your mirrors and look over your shoulder. Make sure that the car is in parking gear. Engage the the handbrake before leaving the car.

Not all lip balms are created equal. When selecting a product to apply to your lips, make sure you choose a product with the proper ingredients to heal your lips.  Look for ingredients like cocoa butter, Vitamins A and E, petrolatum, and dimethicone. Products without these ingredients might not do much to heal lips and could even make symptoms worse.  Balms that include alpha-hydroxy acid can soothe and exfoliate chapped lips. This is an especially good ingredient to look for if you want something you can apply as a rub. Apply by gently adding the products to the lips, brushing the lips with a toothbrush to remove flakes, and then wiping off the balm.  Petroleum and beeswax are also good ingredients to look for when seeking out lip balm. Responses to such products tend to vary from person-to-person, however, so you might have to try a few different products before you find one that works for you.  Any lip balm you choose should always be re-applied before you head out into harsh weather. Sunscreen can help protect lips that are already dried and cracked from further damage outside.  Look for a sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher for optimal protection. You should be able to find such a product in most drugstores and supermarkets.  Always apply a lip balm as protection underneath sunscreen.  Apply sunscreen that has broad spectrum cover for UVA and UVB that is water resistant. If you're looking for a more natural route, there are a variety of home remedies you can try that may improve your cracked, dry lips.  Natural oils, like coconut oil and mustard oil, can moisturize dry lips. Natural oils tend to work best when cracked lips are the result of poor weather conditions. Cucumbers can cool and soothe lips. Simply eating cucumber, and applying the juices to the lips, can help. Aloe vera, which can be purchased in cream or gel form from most drug stores, is a great option for cracked lips. You can also purchase an aloe vera plant and apply the juice from the leaves to your lips. Be aware that the taste of aloe vera is...

Feeling comfortable around others means feeling comfortable with yourself, too. If you feel insecure in who you are, other people will pick up on that in social interactions. Find activities that boost your self-confidence or allow you to develop self-confidence, and know that you can transfer those feelings to your social interactions. Maybe you’re an excellent water skier, ballet dancer, or model car builder. If you feel anxious or uncomfortable, tap into the feelings of confidence that other activities give you to help put yourself at ease. If you find yourself lost in negative thoughts (“I’ll be so awkward” or “I’m not going to enjoy myself”) notice that you’re engaging a negative thought, then provide a counterpoint. You can say, “I may really enjoy myself, and I give myself permission to have a good time” or “I can work on feeling awkward by practicing new skills.”  Don’t talk yourself out of going to social events just because you feel uncomfortable. Anytime you are on the fence about going, use positive self-talk to encourage you to go. Think of it as an adventure to push yourself beyond your comfort zone. Remember that you’re practicing social ‘’skills’’, not social talents. Give yourself time to adjust to more positive self-talk. You may find yourself catastrophizing (“This will be so horrible” or “I bet no one will be there, and I’ll be alone and feel so out of place”) but learn to ignore these thoughts and return your focus to more positive thoughts. Sometimes you get along great with people, and other times you may just not click. If you find yourself not clicking with someone, remember that this is an isolated circumstance, and it doesn’t mean you’re socially awkward, that you’re bad at conversation, or that people don’t like you. If you’re worried about how people will respond to you or if you’ll be judged, remind yourself not to assign heavy value to the opinion’s of others. Say to yourself, “People’s opinions of me don’t define my identity. They are entitled to their opinions as I am to my...

TL;DR in English: Build your self-confidence. Use positive self-talk. Avoid basing your worth on other people’s reactions. Use your breath. Relax.

A contract is a legally enforceable agreement. You will write a consulting contract if you are looking to hire a consultant or if you are a consultant looking to be hired. A consultant is someone who provides professional or expert advice. You will need to decide if you have the legal capacity to enter into a valid contract, which involves knowing what you are getting yourself into by entering into the agreement. Also, you will want to know what is needed to create a legally binding contract. Those requirements include:  An offer; Acceptance; Valid consideration; Mutual assent; and A legal purpose. Contract law is always going to be state law, so you will need to make sure you meet your state's requirements. For example, some states have strict laws regarding liquidated damage provisions while other states allow them more freely.

Engage in fun activities that you can focus your attention on.  Do something that inspires you such as: hiking in a beautiful place, meditation, looking at art, etc. Try exercise such as: biking, hiking, sports, dance, aerobics, and yoga. Avoid activities that may increase daydreaming such as watch television excessively. Watching too much television could possibly lead to decreased creativity and increase daydreaming behaviors. Individuals with adequate social support tend to have higher mental health overall. We need social support to deal with any issue, including excessive mind-wandering or distraction.  Pick someone that you know very well and feel very comfortable with. Then, ask them if they'd be available to answer their phone and chat with you if you've become particularly engrossed in a daydream. You can ask friends or family to alert you if they notice that you are daydreaming. This will help to keep you accountable and increase your awareness of your attention-span. Planning can be a form of daydreaming because you spend a lot of time thinking about a situation and not much time accomplishing anything. It's time stop dreaming and start doing!  Have a schedule and stick to it. If you find yourself daydreaming, get up and leave the situation or do something productive. If you drift into a daydream, gently bring yourself back to what you were doing before your mind wandered. Try to be accepting and non-judgmental of yourself.

TL;DR in English: Find new hobbies. Talk to a friend or family member. Plan less, do more.

Quick release gait belts have 2-piece buckles located on either end of the belt strap. To secure the buckle, push the “male” side into the “female” side until you hear a snap, then tug on the closed buckle to make sure it's secure. To unbuckle the belt, simultaneously press down on the tabs at the top and bottom of the closed buckle, and pull the 2 buckle components apart at the same time. As with a standard gait belt, the buckle can cause discomfort if it's positioned directly over the center of the patient's abdomen. Slide it a little to the right or left of center, based on the patient's preference. Some excess belt strap will already be looped through and hanging free from one of the sides of the buckle—typically the “male” side. Pull on the strap until the belt is at the proper tightness around the patient's waist, with the bottom of the belt just touching the tops of the hip bones. You should be able to slide your fingers behind the belt, but not be able to pinch the fabric between your fingers. The excess belt strap can be a tripping hazard, so get it out of the way by tucking it once or more behind the fitted belt. If there is an excessive amount of strapping left, wrap it loosely around the patient's body once or twice (above the fitted belt), then tuck it in.

TL;DR in English: Snap the two sides of the plastic buckle together. Move the buckle to the right or left of the patient's belly button. Pull the loose end of the belt strap to secure the belt tightly. Tuck the loose strap end into the belt for safety reasons.

If you plan to ask a guy to the dance directly, it might make you feel a little more confident if you internally go over what you plan to say a few times before you actually ask. That way, you won't have to worry about what the right words should be; you only need to worry about the act of saying them. On the other hand, you do not want to sound as though you are reading from a script. Get a general idea of what to say and how to say it, but ad-lib as needed and prepare yourself for unexpected questions or responses. Asking loudly in the middle of lunch with all of his friends and the entire cafeteria watching might not be the best idea, especially if you're not sure about his response. The best time to ask him is toward the end of the school day, during a moment in which you can pull him off to the side and ask him discreetly. Avoid asking him at the beginning of a shared class or school day. If he turns your invitation down, the rest of the time you spend around him that day can feel awkward. Keep in mind that there might be another girl who has already asked him to the dance, or that he might have other plans that day that would prevent him from going. Asking about whether he plans to go or not can save you some embarrassment.  If he says that he's going with someone else, that should give you your answer without you needing to ask the question. If he says that he's not going, find out why. He might be busy and unable to go, which rules him out as an option. If he just hasn't been asked, though, you have your chance. If you get the green light, directly ask him, “Would you go to the Sadie Hawkins Dance with me?” Look him in the eye and smile as you ask. Your body language should be confident and friendly. If his answer is yes, you can show your excitement, but try not to get too crazy about it. If his answer is no, smile, stay calm, and walk away with your head held high—after all, at least you were brave enough to ask. If you do get rejected and feel like you might get teary-eyed, excuse yourself politely...

As difficult as it may be, leave your blisters alone and avoid scratching. They will crust over and then fall off on their own. If you scratch them, they will open up and become more susceptible to infection. You will also spread bacteria with your hands if you scratch at the blisters. If this does happen inadvertently, always wash your hands afterward to stay hygienic. Baking soda has a pH greater than 7 (making it alkaline), giving it the ability to neutralize the chemical that creates the itching sensation. The chemical creating the itching sensation is acidic with a pH that is less than 7.  Apply a paste made of 3 teaspoons baking soda mixed with 1 teaspoon of water. This relieves itching and helps the blisters dry out quicker. You can apply this paste as often as needed to relieve the itching. Use a cool, moist compress to ease discomfort. You can apply this compress for up to 20 minutes at a time, several times a day. You can make a cold compress by wrapping an ice block in a clean towel and pressing it against your skin. Alternatively, you can use a bag of frozen vegetables. Just make sure not to put it directly on your skin and not to keep it on your skin for more than 20 minutes at a time as both of these conditions can lead to tissue damage. Apply a topical cream, such as nonprescription benzocaine cream, directly after your cool compress application. Benzocaine works as an anesthetic, numbing the nerve endings in the skin. As an alternative, talk to your doctor about prescription 5% Lidocaine patches. You can apply the patch to the area where you're experiencing the pain, as long as your skin is intact. You can apply as many as 3 patches at once. You can wear your patches for up to 12 hours in a 24 hour period.

TL;DR in English: Try to keep from scratching at your blisters. Use a baking soda paste to reduce irritation. Apply a cold compress to your blisters. Spread Benzocaine cream on your blisters after you remove the cold compress.

This first step is admitting that your addiction has power over you and that you need assistance in breaking the cycle. This, some say, is the most important step.  People with addictions spend years believing that the substance they are addicted to is helping, not hindering them. That is why this first step is so important – it represents a monumental shift in thinking. This step is about being honest with yourself that you have a problem. Step 1 is humbling but also empowering, because now you have opened up to the possibility of healing. Although many 12 step programs talk about believing in a higher power in order to help restore your sanity, what this step is really all about is having an open mind to all the possibilities now being presented to you as you explore your journey towards recovery.  If it helps, think of the 12 step program itself as the “higher power.” This step is about having hope that there is something out there to help guide you in recovering. This step traditionally talks about giving yourself over to God for help, but what can apply from this situation to all 12 step programs is having faith that others, such as your sponsor, can help you. This step is about relying on the goodness and experiences of others. Step 4 is usually about putting yourself under a microscope, looking closely at the situations in which you find yourself drinking. You need to make a list of the situations that cause you to relapse or use alcohol. This step can be a really scary and intimate look at yourself, but can be very enlightening and empowering once you truly understand yourself. Steps 5, 6, and 7 are generally about asking your friends, family, sponsors, and others for help, but you also have to be really open to accepting their help, even when that means you get tough love.  These steps may involve sharing secrets you’ve not shared with someone else before, and you may feel ashamed of some of the things you’ve done, but this is a natural progression. Ask your friends to help you avoid places that...

TL;DR in English: Accept that you need help. Have an open mind. Give yourself over to the journey of recovery and those helping you. Have courage. Ask for and accept help. Make amends. Carry on.

Squirrels are categorized as small game in most states (interestingly they are classed as vermin in the UK) and are therefore subject to the statutes pertaining to small game hunting. Obtaining a small game license in any given state usually entails filling out a form with your address, a driver’s license number, and other information, as well as paying a small fee.  Though small game licenses aren’t usually as regulated, many states only grant a specific number of certain license types each year, so you may want to pay attention to the date your state begins accepting license applications for the year. For any questions you have regarding licensing, seasons, limits, etc. contact the proper governing body in your state. Each state’s hunting regulatory department goes by a different designation as well. For instance, in Nevada, it is the Nevada Department of Wildlife, whereas New York’s equivalent is the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Many states additionally regulate the specific breeds of squirrel you can hunt in any given season. In South Carolina, for instance, you can hunt gray squirrels, but many areas do not permit the hunting of fox squirrels.  These specific regulations vary by state and region based on existing populations. Many states may also differentiate between squirrel breeds that require a license at all. For example, the California Fish and Game Code classifies ground squirrels as non-game mammals, which can be hunted without a license if they are a nuisance to crops or property; however, all tree squirrels in the state are classified as small game and require the proper license. If you want to hunt squirrels on your own property because they are damaging your home or property, then check with your state’s regulatory department for specifics. This may require having a professional out to identify the breed as well. Each state will additionally observe widely varying seasons when it comes to squirrel hunting. For example, squirrel hunting season starts in Virginia in...

You might want to host your own television show one day. Put that down. Then, include an easier variation of that goal, like hosting a YouTube show that gets 5K views. The easier variations can act as stepping stones to the harder goals.  Do you want to write a novel? Start with publishing a short story in a local literary magazine. If one of your goals is to open a bakery, you could start by running a successful baked goods stand at your local farmer’s market. Looking at all of the items on your lifetime bucket list may be overwhelming. This can lead to inaction. Short term goals are less daunting, so try breaking up your list by time periods. You can break it up by decades, years, or seasons. For example, you might have mini bucket lists for your 20s, 30s, and 40s. Or, you might make a bucket list just for the summer. It’s completely up to you. Choose a time scale that seems most manageable. You bucket list may--and should--include items that seem difficult to achieve. The challenge of the bucket list is part of its beauty. That being said, you should remove any items that are completely unrealistic. Your list should contain items that are hard, but not impossible, to achieve.  For example, if you are a 50-year-old man with limited athletic experience, you will probably never be a professional basketball player. However, you might be able to win the championship in a local club league with practice. You shouldn’t remove an item just because it is expensive. Expensive goals can be achieved in creative ways. Go through your list, and place a star next to the 3 items you want to work on first. It’s a good idea to start with the items that excite you the most. If any items have a time limit, prioritize those. People are always growing and changing. Likewise, some of the things that are important to you may change over time. Your list should be flexible. Allow it to evolve as you do. A relevant list will help you stay motivated. Set aside some time each week to go over your list. Add or remove items if...

You will need to purchase and download a Microsoft Office package that includes both Excel and Access. You can do this online through the Microsoft site.  Once the programs are downloaded, click "Start" in Windows and select "All Programs."  Click on "Microsoft Office," and then select "Access" (or "Excel") from the drop-down menu. You may already have an Excel spreadsheet created that someone else sent you or that you downloaded from elsewhere. Having Office on your computer allows you to open it. It will make it easier if you do a few simple steps before you import the Excel spreadsheet into Access. The key is that your data must be consistent between imported spreadsheets.  It's a good idea to make sure that the first row in the Excel spreadsheet contains your column headers (or field names), and that these are very clear and easy to understand. For example, for a column containing people's last names, you may want to call the column header/field name "last name." Be clear and precise because it will make it easier when you try to match column headers in one Excel sheet with another. Access allows you to link common fields between two or among many spreadsheets. Let's say you have an Excel sheet that contains payroll information. It includes people's first and last names, addresses, and salaries. Let's say for the sake of argument that you want to match that sheet within Access to a second Excel sheet that contains information about campaign finance contributions. This second sheet contains people's names, addresses, and donations. What Access allows you to do is to match different column headers with one another. You could link name headers to see which people of the same name appear in both databases, for example. Scan the Excel sheets to make sure that each type of data is handled the same way, and clean it up before importing it into Access. It must be what Access calls "relational." For example, if the hypothetical spreadsheet for payroll contained first name, last name and middle initial in one...

TL;DR in English: Open both programs on your computer. Clean up your Excel spreadsheet before importing it into Access. Split information within a column in Excel. Continue using the wizard to split merged columns.

The first thing you’ll want to do is think about the girl and what you know she values in herself. Girls are conditioned to shy away from compliments and she’ll be much more open to accepting a compliment she agrees with. Notice what she’s proud of, from your experiences with her and compliment her on those things. For example, if she’s clearly very eager to share something she’s done with other people, that’s something you could compliment her on. Like yourself or anyone else, she probably likes to have her hard work validated. If you know she’s worked very hard on something or that there’s something she feels inadequate or self-conscious about, you can try complimenting her on that. This can be tricky though, so be careful how you do it.  For example, if she complains that she hates her nose, tell her that you think it’s cute. Another example would be if she clearly tries to work very hard in school, compliment her either on her work ethic, her determination, or her intelligence. For this type of compliment, whatever you compliment her on has to be honest. Don’t say something you don’t mean just to find something to compliment her on. Look back on the conversations you've had with her and find things to compliment her on that you know she values but thinks that she doesn't possess. Maybe you noticed that she told you she likes how hard you fight for the things that you want, but she fights just as hard. Maybe you noticed that she said she wished she had a figure like some other girl, but you think her figure is better. It is important to consider whether or not she actually possesses the quality you want to compliment her on. Telling her she’s good at something that she’s not will catch her notice and she’ll know you don’t mean it. The best thing to compliment a girl on is her personality. This is something that she has a certain amount of control over and it is something that is intrinsically her, rather than something like clothing which usually has very little to do with her and who she is. Think about...

TL;DR in English: Evaluate what the girl values in herself. Consider what she struggles with or works on. Think about the things that she values in you or other people. Compliment her personality. Compliment her accomplishments. Compliment her from your heart.

If you've seen it but not heard it, oftentimes just sounding it out in your head first can help a lot with your pronunciation. Work with each syllable in turn. Unless it's Welsh.  Think about other words you already know that look similar to the name. For example, the letters q-u-i in French sound like the word key in English. So just as the word "quiche" is pronounced keysh, the name "Quitterie" would be pronounced key-tree. Sometimes city names can get your mind going. Think of ones like San Jose, Guadalajara, Lille, Versailles, and Guangzhou. Does it look French? Spanish? Chinese? Know that every language has a unique alphabet and set of sounds associated with it, so any prior knowledge of languages will assist you in your pronunciation.  Spanish has a very consistent alphabet, unlike English. The vowels are always pronounced "ah," "eh," "ee," "oh," and "oo." French has a fairly consistent alphabet as well, but it's a bit more tricky. If the name ends in a consonant, don't pronounce it. "Robert" becomes row-bear. And a name like Michelle? It's mee-shell, not meh-shell. Mandarin Chinese is trickier still. The "Q" is pronounced ch, "X" is pronounced sh, and "Z" is pronounced dr. "Xiaojin Zhu" is shiao-jin drew. If you're a bit confused about "ei" and "ie" in German, opt for the second letter's name. "Steinbeck" has a vowel like "I"--the second letter. "Auf Wiedersehen" has a vowel like "E"--the second letter. They can significantly change the way a name is pronounced.  In Spanish, you want to put the most emphasis on the syllable that has the accent; e.g., María should be pronounced ma-REE-uh. Unfortunately, French doesn't follow the same rules. The sounds "è" and "é" are two different sounds. Though they are very similar, they are similar to eh (the sound in red) and ay, respectively. Examples of this include Renée (ruh-nay), André (on-dray), Honoré (ah-nor-ay), and Helène (heh-lehne). The most frequent character used with a cedilla is the "ç"; the cedilla makes it soft (ss, not kuh). Though this requires a...

Lilacs, tulips, forsythia, or small succulents are inexpensive options and will make cute invitations. Use card stock to write the party details (time, location, date), then attach it to the flowers with some twine.  Depending on how often you see your guests, you may need to plan ahead and start handing out invitations a few weeks ahead of time to make sure you have enough time to see everybody. If you can’t hand-deliver the invitations, that is okay! You could always make invitations on floral-themed paper and mail them out to everyone instead. Or, to keep things really simple, just send a text to everyone to let them know the details. It can be as detailed or a simple as you’d like. You can use your own yard if that is accessible to you, or you could plan to have the party at a local park. Have a tablecloth or blanket to put the food on, and ask friends to bring blankets or chairs to sit on. If you have to be indoors, brighten the space with fresh flowers. Clear away all the clutter you can, open the blinds to let in any natural sunlight, and enjoy spending time with your friends. Use your slow cooker to let the buns bake overnight, and then host a morning May Day brunch with the buns, coffee, tea, and fresh fruit. Or, if your gathering is later in the day, they’ll make a nice afternoon treat, too. Of course, if you don’t want to bake your own sticky buns, you could stop at a bakery to pick some up, too. Make snacks that will be easy to carry outside and that travel well, especially if you’re planning on having a picnic. Cut up several different kinds of cheese, like cheddar, brie, and gouda, and pair them with crackers. Cut up fresh vegetables and serve them with homemade dips. Fresh fruit, muffins, bread, olives, and pickles also make great May Day snacks. Use a hand press or an electric juicer to juice 2 to 4 oranges for each cup of juice you’d like to make. Serve the juice in cute glasses with decorative straws for an extra festive touch. For mimosas, fill a glass 1/4 to 1/2 way full of champagne. Top...

There are many types of hair, and therefore, there are various solutions for various hair types. If your hair looks frizzy, matte, or just not that great, take a look at your shampoo and conditioner bottles. Are you using a shampoo that matches your hair type? If not, try to get a shampoo that says it's for your hair type (such as curly, dry, colored, and so forth), and see if that helps.  If you have dry hair, look for products that say "hydrating" or "moisturizing." Try not to wash your hair every day. Instead, wash it every two to three days.  If you have oily hair, look for a clarifying shampoo, or something that says its meant for oily hair. Try leaving the shampoo on your scalp for up to five minutes. When it comes to conditioner, only use it on the ends of your hair.  If you have thin, limp hair, look for a volumizing shampoo. It will make your hair appear thicker and give it extra body. If you dye your hair, get a shampoo that says it's for "colored hair." It will help your dye job last longer. It will also take care of your hair and help keep it soft; most hair dyes are very harsh and drying on hair. How you wash and brush your hair will affect how it looks in the end. Here are some tips on how to get your hair to look its best:  Wash your hair no more than three times a week. The more often you wash it, the more oil it will produce. Use warm or lukewarm water instead of hot water. Hot water will cause your hair to lose moisture and frizz. Consider rinsing your hair with cool water; this will seal the hair cuticle, reduce frizz, and make it shiny.  Make sure you are leaving the conditioner in your hair long enough. Most brands needs to be left for three to five minutes, but you might want to check the label on the back of the bottle. Brush or comb your hair when it is almost dry. Start from the ends first, and work your way up towards the roots. Wet hair is very stretchy, and snaps easily. Curly hair can be beautiful, but it can also get frizzy and unruly. It tangles easily and gets in your face when...

The Dark Web refers to a sliver of Deep Web data that is impossible to access without special software and links. Unlike most Deep Web data, information found on the Dark Web is usually comprised of broken links, dead websites, and other useless information. Much of the Dark Web's purpose is to provide anonymity to journalists, political dissidents, whistleblowers, and the like. While the Dark Web is mostly harmless if you aren't actively trying to get into trouble, the fact remains that the Dark Web's functional is largely used for criminal activity. On the flip side, the legal parts of the Dark Web are fairly plain.  Essentially, if you aren't attempting to get into illegal sites, you'll see a lot of broken links and slow load times for normal sites. If you are trying to access illegal content, doing so is much more likely to result in you getting caught rather than actually finding the content itself. While most Dark Web horror stories are nothing more than campfire tales, you should refrain from contacting anyone or downloading items from the Dark Web. While more secure than in past renditions, Windows 10 still contains security flaws that make it exceptionally vulnerable to hacking or virus attempts while browsing the Deep Web.   Linux is strongly suggested for people who plan on using the Dark Web, with Ubuntu Linux being a common (and free) option. If you're on a Mac, you should be fine as long as you use a VPN and Tor. There are a couple of basic things that you should do in order to prevent unpleasant encounters on the Dark Web:  Cover your computer's webcam. Password-protect your Internet connection if you haven't yet done so. . Before downloading Tor (if possible) or accessing the Dark Web, you must install and enable a Virtual Private Network (VPN). NordVPN and ExpressVPN are common choices, but you can choose any VPN that has the following features:  A kill switch for when your VPN goes down Quick load times Protection against IP and DNS leaks The ability to connect via another country's server...

Sometimes you can find a great book just by going and looking at the other books on the shelf around books you've liked before. Non-fiction books in particular are typically grouped by topic, so it's a good bet that you'll find books on similar themes next to books you've already read on those themes. Even if you've decided on one, it's good to have a backup or two. You might realize as you're looking at the books more closely at home that one of them is not as good a choice for a book report. You also might find that your teacher has advice on which one would be better. Hopefully, between talking to the librarian, your teacher, and possibly going online and then browsing the library, you have found a few possible candidates for your book review. With the books you've found in front of you, read the plot synopsis, found on the back of the book for paperbacks, and on the inside of the front cover on the dust jacket for hardcovers. Take a little time to read the first chapter or so, too, to see if you like the author's writing style.  Which of the books looks best to you? Which book is the easiest to read? Which book do you think would be best for the report, based on the assignment? Even if you think the book is the perfect choice, talk to your teacher. He or she might have read the book and not think it is the right choice for you. If your teacher doesn't like your first choice, share your other options with him or her. Hopefully one of them will work.

TL;DR in English: Browse. Check out your books. Read about the books you've found. Ask your teacher.

The host is a person in the casino that can make the decision to give you a comped room. If you've been playing for a long time and have been gambling a good amount of money, stop a waitress or go to the front desk and ask to speak with the host. You can say something like “Excuse me, I'd like to speak with the host so they can review my play history. Thanks.” If you've been playing for long enough, the employee you asked will bring over the host. Introduce yourself to the host and shake their hand. Then, ask them if they can take a look at your play history. Give them your player's card and they will evaluate what they can give you for free. Let them know that you're interested in a free room and tell them that you'll continue gambling during your stay there.  You can say something like “Can you take a look at my play history and let me know what comps are available to me? I'm interested in getting a comped room.” Remember to tip the host with at least $50 if they do comp you a room. If you haven't been able to get ahold of a host but have gambled all night, go to the player's desk, give them your player's card, and ask what comps are available to you. The player's desk will take your player's card and evaluate how many points you've gained while gambling. If it's enough points, it may qualify for a free room. Say something like, “Can you take a look at my play history and tell me what comps I can get? I was interested in getting a comped room for the night.” If you haven't gambled enough or are new to the casino, don't make a scene if you can't get a comped room by the end of the night. Staff, pit bosses, and hosts are likely to remember you. If you remain polite throughout the experience and continue visiting the same casino, they will be more likely to comp you a room in the future.

TL;DR in English: Ask to talk to the host. Ask the host to take a look at your play history. Go to the player's desk after you're done gambling. Don't get angry if you can't get a comped room.

You'll need four pieces of insulated wire, with each end stripped. Read this section first to find out how each wire is connected, so you can cut each one to the right length. Typically, each wire should be about 5 inches (13cm) long. Solder one wire onto each of the two motor pins.  Read our guide on soldering electronics first if you don't have much soldering experience. Find the motor pins on the motor driver circuit that are labeled m1 and m2. Solder the other ends of the two wires onto these pins. If your driver does not have these labels, look for a diagram of your motor driver online. Solder the other two wires to the two pins on the second motor. Solder the other ends of these wires onto the driver pins labeled m3 and m4. The battery holder should have two attached wires, one positive (red) and one negative (black). Connect these as follows:  Connect the positive wire to the Vin pin on the Arduino Connect the negative wire to the Gnd (ground) pin on the Arduino
