Place an ice cube in the palm of your hand, the crook of your elbow, or where you want to cut. The numbing cold may provide you with the sensation you are craving. Take an ice pack with you and keep it in an insulated tote so that you can have access to something cold when you need it. Also, consider taking a cup of ice with you wherever you go. Keep it in your desk, car, locker, or any place to which you have easy access. Use a felt-tip pen to create pictures or lines on yourself where you usually cut. You may find that you like the way it feels against your skin. You may also discover that creating beautiful designs on yourself is far more satisfying than making painful cuts. Only use soft-tipped pens or markers to draw on yourself. Using pens that feature sharp points may end up hurting you. Use temporary tattoos if you don't trust yourself to use a pen on your skin. Those who cut are often looking for a way to feel something, even if it is painful. Snapping your skin with a rubber band is a safer way than cutting to feel a strong sensation. Place the rubber band around your wrist, hold it up, and let if fall back sharply. Never snap your wrists until they bleed. Only engage in this act if you trust yourself to not go too far. Ask someone you trust to help you monitor this behavior to ensure that you are not injuring yourself with this technique. Paying attention to the area you typically cut may be all that you need when you feel the desire to self-harm. Wrap these areas in bandages or adhesive tape. Seeing them will serve as a reminder of what is to come if you give into your urge. Draw motivational words or phrases on the bandages to stop yourself from wanting to cut. You could also color them with a red pen or marker to look like blood, which may stop you from wanting to hurt yourself. The saying “beauty hurts” is popular because it is often true: some beauty techniques are downright painful. Engage in them to satisfy the pain you crave, without doing real harm. Use a pair of tweezers to remove any...

TL;DR in English: Hold an ice cube. Draw on yourself. Snap your skin with a rubber band. Place bandages over where you want to cut. Pluck your eyebrows or wax your legs.

You know what can blow money all around a room and keep it flowing way more effectively than your own bare hands? A giant fan. Set it on a high level with enough room in front of it to add your stacks o' cash. Turn it to the on position when it's not plugged in. That way, when you go to plug it in, you're in front of it when it turns on, ready to get rained on and rained on and rained on as your dead presidents swirl through the air. Sure, you could make it rain by yourself. You could run around your room, spreading the dough, raining on your bed as part of your nighttime routine, and then go to sleep comfortably on your piles and piles of simoleons. Or -- OR -- you could take your stacks and liven up any party, a coffee date with a friend, or dinnertime with your parents. Think of the endless possibilities! You'll probably want to coordinate together beforehand. Springing it on them could result in them diving for your cash or thinking you're a money-grubbing materialist. And who knows? Maybe they'll want to make it rain with you -- talk about a flood of money! Go big or go home, right? If you're gonna make it rain, might as well make it rain. If a helicopter isn't readily available, find a high point you can drop it from. The rooftop, the Eiffel Tower, a mountain -- just be ready to make the news! For the record, with this, you won't be getting your bucks back. The wind can be a cruel, cruel mistress. Who says you have to make it rain in the comfort of your own home or outside in nature? Walk into your local Starbucks and get to precipitating! Or skip the Starbucks where everyone can afford $4 lattes and make it rain at your local homeless shelter or, well, Walmart. What better way to get active in your community? And then watch as people look around at each other, wondering who's going to make the first pounce. How long do you think it'll take? At first everyone will be convinced it's fake -- what happens when the first person realizes that you're making it rain certifiable ducats? ..Or just pick it back...

Extracurricular activities are a great place to meet people with similar interests.  Join as many clubs as you can, but make sure to only participate in those that you have a real interest in.  If you are out of school already, look at your local newspaper(s) or weekly periodicals to find clubs in your town you might like to join.     If you take a foreign language, join the French, Spanish or German clubs.  You will not only meet new friends, but have people to practice your language skills with! Try out band.  School bands are pretty large, offering a wide base of potential friends, and there are so many different instruments you are bound to find one you enjoy playing. If you like to sing, join the glee club or show choir. Do you like to convince others of your opinions?  Try out the debate club.  Not only will you meet people at your school, but also can attend debate competitions and meet kids from other schools like yourself. For adults, your city no doubt has dance troupes, singing groups, bands that need new members, and other opportunities for meeting new people in your area. Like some school academic teams, sports teams play other schools and thus give you a chance to travel outside your city and meet kids from other areas with like interests.  Team members also practice together a few times a week, usually, and this is ample time to develop strong bonds with your teammates.  Try out soccer, baseball or tennis teams at your school.  If your school doesn’t have the sport you most enjoy, look for neighborhood leagues. Most cities have local groups that meet to practice and play more casual sports, like Ultimate Frisbee or volleyball. Look in the local paper, city website, or do a web search on a particular sport in your city. If you are a woman, you might look for roller derby teams in your city.  This is a contact sport, so is not for the timid.  It also can be pricey to join, but is lots of fun and will introduce you to a whole group of new women. Go to the local rock climbing gym or trapeze club. ...

Go easy on the conversation. Don’t make it awkward. Keep a friendly contact. Never take sides.

If you're hoping to increase your testosterone levels, diet isn't the only thing to consider. Exercise is an equally important part of increasing testosterone levels, which is why you should come up with an effective, yet sustainable fitness plan designed to maximize testosterone production.  Specific types of exercise, such as weightlifting, actually cause the body to produce more testosterone. Exercising decreases your chances of being overweight and, as discussed above, being overweight can negatively impact testosterone levels.  If you're not sure where to begin, it may be a good idea to enlist the services of a personal trainer who can develop an exercise plan specifically tailored to your current fitness level, along with your desired outcome. If you want to boost testosterone, you should begin to lift weights, as weight-lifting is the most effective form of exercise for increasing testosterone production. However, for best results, you will need to lift heavier weights with fewer repetitions, and it's probably best to avoid the weight machines altogether. Stick with free weights and follow the advice below:   Lift large muscle groups. Studies show that lifting larger muscle groups, which require complex, compound movements, is much more effective for producing testosterone than working just one or two smaller muscles. For this reason, you should stick with weight exercises such as bench presses, squats, deadlifts, and shoulder presses.  Try to work out with high volume. The type of exercises you perform will mean nothing if you don't have enough volume. You should be doing at least 3 to 4 sets of each compound exercise, using a weight you can only lift 5 times per set. The volume of your workout is determined by this formula: reps x sets x weight = volume. However, when it comes down to a choice between more repetitions or more sets, you should choose more sets every time.  Focus on high intensity. Push yourself hard in the gym - only by pushing yourself to your physical limit will you maximize your...

TL;DR in English: Develop an exercise plan and stick to it. Start lifting weights. Try high intensity interval training. Do some cardio. Allow your body to recover between workouts.

While you may want to pretend it never happened, try to understand the roots of the affair. Ask yourself or your partner, “Why did this happen?”; “What does it say about me/my partner?”; “What was the entry point?”; and “How did it go on?” Bringing up these points with yourself and with your partner can help you better understand the situation and the state of your current relationship. Once you have these discussions, you can start to find the holes in your current relationship and begin patching them together. Instead of waiting for problems to blow up or get out of control, talk about problems when things are going well. If you feel like there are things in the relationship that are going poorly, bring them up before they get out of hand; don’t wait for them to grow worse.  If changes in emotional or physical closeness occur, bring it up. Say, “I feel like we’re spending less time together, and I’m wondering why that may be.” If you notice your partner spending more time at work and giving less attention to the relationship, say something. If you got caught up in something and realized you didn’t have clear boundaries, sit down with your partner and create boundaries together that feel comfortable to both of you. Consider telling your partner what feels like cheating to you, and ask your partner the same question, “What feels like cheating to you?” Consider both physical and emotional aspects of cheating. What kind of touching is too much? What language or communication is excessive? What about if you tell someone else things you don’t tell your partner? Couples counseling can be helpful in bringing the two of you together to discuss openly what problems are occurring in the relationship, and what’s missing that the affair fulfilled. Counseling can help you two move into a place of restored respect and growth. For more information, check out How to Choose a Marriage Counselor.

TL;DR in English: Explore how the affair happened. Confront problems in the relationship. Discuss boundaries with your partner. See a couples counselor.

The worst feeling as a third wheel is never knowing how or when to be a part of a conversation between two romantic partners. Sometimes it’ll feel like you’re stuck on somebody’s else date, and maybe you are. So don’t be afraid not to participate when it doesn’t feel right.  Naturally, always speak when spoken to. Don’t be purposefully un-talkative or it might come off as rude. Chime in every once and awhile, especially in conversations the topics of which don’t involve their relationship. If they start talking about future plans, or reminiscing together, feel free to opt out. While it may certainly be an awkward situation for you, nothing will compound the awkwardness worse than acting awkwardly in response. Not butting into conversations that seem personal to the relationship is important here; being comfortable with your single-dom is crucial here as well.  Don’t point it out. You may feel compelled to make light of your situation by addressing it outright: “Feels weird being the only one here without a girlfriend;” “Always awkward being the third wheel, right?” Don’t make it seem any more than a conversation between friends. Let them go on in conversation. Sometimes being around others in a relationship will mean hearing about those relationships, possibly for a long time. Accept the situation and let them talk. It’s better than shifting the impetus of the conversation to yourself. When the couple you’re with is droning on to one another, or friends in relationships are chatting endlessly about fun couples activities, it’ll help to have a friend to text during the boredom. Use them to blow off steam about the awkwardness or poor conversation. If you’re stuck with a couple who has begun a disagreement, things can get uncomfortable fast. Many times couples will want you to weigh in on their squabble; don’t. You’ll only alienate one or the other of the people you’re with. Be upfront about your neutrality.  "Hey, let's not do this now. Try to keep it civil, we're out to have fun!" "I'm not going to be roped...

Prepare to take your temperature. Take your temperature every morning. Make a coverline on your chart or graph. Use your temperatures to understand fertility.

If you believe the package may be suspicious, it is important that you do not shake, open, or empty the contents of the package. You should also avoid carrying the package or showing it to others to examine. If you determine it is suspicious, do not sniff, touch, taste, or look at any of the contents. Let anyone else known in the residence, home, or area, that you believe you have received a suspicious package. Place the package on a stable surface and leave the area. Make sure anyone else in the area also evacuates and do not allow anyone to enter the area with the suspicious package. If you have a ventilation system, like an air conditioner system or a heating system, turn it off so the contents of the package cannot circulate in the area. Give your hands a good wash with soap and water to prevent spreading any potentially dangerous substances to your face or skin. Once law enforcement officials arrive, they will be able to give you additional instructions on dealing with exposure to potentially dangerous substances. If you are at work, contact your supervisor or a security officer. Let them know you believe you have received a suspicious package and that they need to call local law enforcement.  If you are at home, use your cellphone or a neighbor’s phone to call your local law enforcement and report the suspicious package. Try to make a list of the people who were in the room or area where the suspicious package was recognized and anyone who many have handled the suspicious package. You should provide this list to local law enforcement when they arrive on the scene.

TL;DR in English: Do not shake or open the package. Alert others in the area and leave the package on a stable surface. Wash your hands. Call your local law enforcement agency.

It is so easy in today's world to become focused on "me" that we often forget that one of the most rewarding and productive things we can do is to focus on the well-being of others.  When you are helpful to others, even in small, everyday ways, you will find that your overall sense of your own well being will greatly increase and your confidence in the tasks and goals you have before you will be much greater. Greater confidence in yourself and your own abilities results in much higher personal productivity, and, in turn, will help you to become a more serious person. Get involved in local volunteer opportunities. In 2013 alone, over 62 million Americans engaged in some form of volunteer work.   Do you have a soft spot for kids? For old folks? For animals? Maybe you'd like to help maintain trails at a local park, or feed the homeless in a soup kitchen. Volunteer opportunities abound everywhere, especially in urban centers. Even a couple hours a week, or even a month, can help give you a sense of focus and purpose in your life. Volunteering not only makes you feel good about yourself, it connects you with others, increases your social skills, combats depression, and helps keep you healthy. When you do to others as you would have done to yourself, you create a loop of goodwill. This isn't just for morality's sake; the more you show goodwill to others, the more likely they will be to contribute to your own advancement.

TL;DR in English: Be helpful to other human beings. Volunteer. Practice the golden rule.

You'll need the same calendar that you've been using to chart your cervical mucus. While you can use any digital thermometer to take your daily temperature, it's best to use a Basal body thermometer which will give you the highest degree of accuracy. You'll be taking your temperature orally, although rectal temperatures are the most accurate. During your menstrual cycle, your body temperature changes subtly. You should be able to see the temperatures rise by about a degree following ovulation. They'll stay slightly higher until you start menstruating or they'll stay elevated (which can indicate pregnancy). You should take your temperature every morning before getting out of bed, eating, drinking, or using the bathroom. Take your temperature at the same time every morning. If you like, you can set an alarm, take your temperature, and go back to bed. Record your daily temperature on your charting calendar. You can also chart your temperature and cervical mucus on graphs that you can get from your doctor, a woman's health center, and most pharmacies. This will make it easier to see temperature shifts and confirm ovulation. Once you've been charting your temperatures for a while, you should notice that your body temperature usually stays around a certain temperature. You'll need to look for a temperature that is at least 0.2 degrees higher than the previous six days. Of those six days, look for the highest temperature. Draw a horizontal line that is 0.1 degree higher than that temperature to make your coverline. The coverline is simply an easy visual way to glance at your chart and see if you've ovulated and if your temperatures remain high (possibly due to pregnancy). Unlike cervical mucus, you won't be able to use your daily temperature to determine if you're fertile or not. This is because a noticeable temperature shift will happen after changes in fertility have already taken place. While this can be helpful in confirming that ovulation occurred, it makes it almost impossible to rely on temperature changes...

As a general rule, the insurance industry suggests that you carry life insurance in the amount of ten times your annual salary. Some factors to consider in calculating your insurance needs are,   the age of your children the amount of your mortgage the amount of car payments the amount of debt owed by your family whether your spouse works whether you need to pay for education for your children the amount of other sources of income and insurance the amount of your dependents’ financial needs the amount of life insurance you can afford You may want to speak with a reputable insurance agent to discuss which type of insurance works best for you. Generally, there are five types of insurance: term, whole, universal, variable, and universal variable.  Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific amount of time, typically has the lowest premiums, but those premiums will increase as you get older and renew the policy. This policy may be a good choice if you are looking to provide limited protection until your children are grown and able to support themselves.  Whole life insurance covers the insured for the entirety of their life so long as they pay the premiums. You may be able to borrow funds against the accumulated cash value of the policy but this type of insurance typically costs more than term life insurance. This insurance may be best for you if you want coverage for your entire life, you can afford more expensive premiums and you want the ability to withdraw cash value from the policy.  Universal life is similar to whole life in that it has whole life coverage as well as a cash value. However, the investment is tied to current market rates, which may impact the amount of your premium payment. A universal policy may be best for you if you want full life coverage, a guaranteed death benefit and a guaranteed interest amount but also the ability to choose how often you pay your premiums and the amount of your premiums.  Variable life insurance is also tied to investments such as stocks and money markets,...

Put petroleum jelly or lip balm on your lips to protect them from hot or cold conditions. Extreme weather can harm your lips and leave them chapped and dry, so be sure to give your lips a protective coating so they don't get red and chapped.  Petroleum jelly is a cheap and effective product that can moisturize your lips and prevent them from getting chapped. If you want some color on your lips, try a tinted lip balm or lip gloss. You can also put on lipstick over petroleum jelly if you want color and protection. Exposure to the sun can do a lot of damage to the surface of your lips. Look for a lip balm or chapstick that contains sunscreen and apply it daily before exposing your lips to the sun. Pick a lip balm or chapstick that has an SPF rating of 30 or higher. If your lips are tender or swollen, it could be caused by products you are putting on them. Keep track of your symptoms and stop using any products that may be irritating your lips. For example, many lip plumping products can be used safely but there is a chance that they will irritate your lips. If the product you are using is irritating or hard on the surface of your lips, stop using it. If you want to exfoliate your lips because they are peeling or coarse, you should only do it lightly and no more than once a week. While you can use beauty products designed for gentle exfoliation, you can also just use a soft toothbrush to gently rub the surface.  After exfoliating, apply a moisturizer to replenish your lips. Get a separate toothbrush to brush your lips. But make sure that it has got soft bristles.

TL;DR in English: Use moisturizing products on your lips. Apply sunscreen to your lips daily. Discontinue using products that irritate your lips. Exfoliate your lips lightly, if necessary.

Party girls always keep their looks on point, no matter how wild their nights get. The basic party girl uniform is a cute dress and a nice pair of heels.  Dress in a way that makes you feel comfortable. You want to wear something that's easy to move in and that makes you feel confident. You'll probably be dancing, so you need clothes you can move in. Don't wear clothes that are too tight or restricting. Pack a pair of flats in your purse. Many women in general carry an extra pair of comfortable shoes in their bags, but for party girls they are essential. No matter how skilled you are at dancing in heels, your feet will be hurting by the end of the night. Give them a break. If you must wear pants, make sure they're cute (and preferably tight) and match the dress code of wherever you plan on partying. You don't want the embarrassment of being turned away at the door because your venue of choice has a ban on jeans. The typical party girl wears a lot of makeup. If that's the look you like, go for it. Just make sure to wear makeup with staying power that isn't prone to sweating off. For long-lasting makeup, start with a moisturizing primer and top everything off with a translucent powder. Right now, the party girl look is all about smoky, heavy eye makeup. If you want to follow this trend, pack on the dark eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara. This means that your hair should be in a manageable style that stays in place. You don't want it coming undone while you dance.  If you want to wear your long hair down for part of the night, try pulling it back in a ponytail when you dance. For a classier look, you can also try a bun or some other type of updo. Just make sure your hair is secure before you go out. If it starts to come undone halfway through the night, it's better to just take your hair down completely. A party girl will enjoy partying most when she's self-confident and happy with herself. Self-confidence will boost your charisma and make you the life of the party.   Build your self-confidence, be confident and...

Look him in the eye to show that you are interested in and engaged with what he is saying. Allow your face to demonstrate that you are emotional and supportive. Be dynamic and engaged, possibly nodding in affirmation. Crossed legs and arms may suggest that you are closed off or uninviting. Try to sit straight up, with your limbs open. Your body should appear relaxed and you can gesture with your hands to show emotional support.  Also be sure that your body is facing directly toward the grieving person to indicate that you are engaged with her. Sit on the same level as the person you are talking to. Do not take a chair that allows you to tower over her, or her over you. This creates a sense of power imbalance that is not helpful for open conversation. Talk naturally and allow your voice to show emotion. Try to develop a soothing tone in your voice. Your conversation style should also demonstrate that you are there to listen. Don’t interrupt him, jump from topic to topic, or rush him to an answer. It is okay to leave periods of silence.

If you generally say yes to most requests, you may lose touch with how you actually feel about having someone in your house. If someone shows up at your door and says, “Can I come in?” or, “Can I stay over?” take a moment and tune into your body. If you're genuinely happy to see them, let them in. However, if you don't want to get up to open the door, your first reaction is a groan, or you feel knots in your stomach after they ask, it's clear that the person is not welcome.  If you get a “no” answer from your body, tell your friend, “This isn't a good time. I'm sorry.” Sometimes it can be helpful to talk through how you are feeling with your partner or a trusted friend to get to the bottom of how you really feel. There may be some situations that excite you and some that deplete you depending on whether you are an introvert or extrovert. Introverts prefer to spend most of their time alone, while extroverts prefer to spend most of their time with other people. If you are not sure which type you are, then you can take the Myers & Briggs test to find out. For example, you may feel excited when an old friend shows up unannounced, yet feel depleted after they stay for more than a few hours. Are there situations that feel good and others that feel bad? Are there certain people you can tolerate and others you cannot? Begin to notice what situations energize you and which ones drain you. This can help you to become clearer on what limits you can set and how you might enforce them. For example, you might like the person who drops in, but hate that they come to unload all of their negativity onto you. If you're constantly bending your own needs to accommodate others, you may lose sleep, feel angry or upset, lose money, or overextend yourself. If you know that having someone over will drain you or affect you negatively, say something.  You can say, “I'm really stressed and I need some alone time right now” or, “I'm working on a project and I need to concentrate by myself.” If you notoriously neglect your own needs, get...

TL;DR in English: Check with your body. Notice what energizes and drains you. Prioritize your needs. Tolerate others' reactions.

Choose your yarn based on the color bear you would like to make. You want the knitting to be dense enough that the stuffing does not show through the material so use needles 2-3 sizes smaller than you would normally use for the yarn you have chosen. Casting on is the process of starting the first stitches on the knitting needle before beginning to knit. There are many different methods for casting on depending on your experience level and the look you want to try. Easy beginner methods include the backwards loop cast on and the long tail cast on. Garter stitch is great for this project because it forms a sturdy and flexible piece of knitting. It is also a good stitch for beginners to learn and you can remember it with the poem “back, around, over and under.” When you reach row 32 place a colored thread in the middle of the row to mark the location of the neck. Keep knitting in garter stitch for an additional 34 rows so that you end up with 66 total rows. At each end of this final row, place a colored thread. These colored threads mark where the body stops and the legs begin. Knit 20 stitches, which is half the width of the pattern, and then continue for an additional 39 rows. Cast off at the end of these 40 total rows. This is your first leg. Turn the pattern around and rejoin the yarn to the other 20 stitches on the body of the pattern. Knit 40 rows on this side of the pattern, completing the other leg. Once finished, cast off these stitches. Starting on a new section, cast on 20 stitches and then knit 40 rows. Cast off. This forms one of the arms of your teddy bear and will be attached later. Again, cast on 20 stitches and then knit 40 rows to create the piece for the second arm of your teddy.

Use the speed of the boat or jet ski to pull you up onto the board. Sit in the water with the board by your feet. Place your heels on the board close to the edge. Get the boat moving slowly until the line is tense. Bend your knees and keep the line in front of your body. Let the boat pull you up as it gains speed. Turn the board so that your dominant foot is towards the boat. Keep your chest up, arms straight, and feet staggered to start riding.

Many kitchen supply stores sell coffee spoons. These scoops typically equal 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml), which is the average amount of coffee used in a standard cup. The downside is that all coffee has a different density, so you won’t always end up with exactly 2 tablespoons (29.57 ml).  For example, a scoop of finely-ground coffee is less dense than a coarsely-ground coffee, which means less coffee in a scoop. Darker roasts are also less dense than lighter roasts. To make this easy, use a kitchen measuring cup. They are available anywhere kitchen supplies are sold. Fill the cup ¾ full, which is about 177 milliliters (6  fl oz). Dip the spoon into the coffee grounds to scoop out a full 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml). If you don’t have a coffee spoon, you can use your regular kitchen measuring spoons. Add the grounds to your coffee machine or French press.  If you’re using coffee beans, grind them first, then scoop 2 tablespoons of grounds. To make a mug of coffee, add another ⅓ tablespoon of grounds. Add the ingredients to your coffee maker, then adjust them to get the strength of coffee you desire. After brewing, note the coffee’s taste so you can change the ratios next time to make it even better.

The theory of wakeskating is not incredibly difficult to understand, but putting it into practice is much harder. You start in the water with your heels on the top of the board and the board perpendicular to the back of the boat. Holding onto a rope attached the boat, let the boat pull you behind it until you have enough speed to stand up on the board. Once your stand, you pivot your feet so that the front of the board faces the boat, and you're off. Getting up is almost identical to a getting up on a wakeboard. Before you tell the boat to get moving, get comfortable in this seated position. Your butt should be the lowest point, with your lifejacket keeping your head and torso above the water. The board will be perpendicular to the boat.  If you are right-footed, the front of the board faces to the right. This is also known as "goofy" stance, or "goofy-footed." If you are left-footed, the front of the board faces to the left. This is a standard, or regular, stance. Your toes will be near the center of the board. Keep your heels on the board so that you could push down on them and flip the far edge of the board towards you if you wanted to. There will be 2-4 inches between the edge of the board and you heels. This will "push" the board up to your feet so that your entire sole is on the board. The pressure of the water will keep the board on your feet. Bend your knees about halfway, like you were preparing to jump off the board. Your arms will be straight in front of you so that your hands are ahead of your knees. Think of performing a squat (without weight) -- your knees are bent, your butt is down, and your arms are strong. This takes some practice, but once you get a feel for the balance it is actually not too difficult. Once the board is comfortably on your feet and the line is taut, slowly stand up on the board.

Grab one of those old cursive practice books that you had to use in elementary school and start practicing each letter in the alphabet. Just remember that everyone's writing is distinctive, so your handwriting will be cursive (and attractive) it will be unique to you.  You want to make sure that your letters are evenly spaced, so practice on lined paper so you can see the spacing. There are lots of free cursive worksheets and workbooks, either on the internet or in your local library. The best way to write cursive is to put the writing utensil between your forefinger and your middle finger, with fingertips and thumb place near the pen or pencil's tip. This position helps to alleviate the pain in forearm, wrist, and thumb. Cursive is basically all about the connections between letters. It is supposed to be used as a rapid method of writing. As such it comes from the Latin word "currere" which means "to run" and so cursive translates as "a running hand." Keep that in mind when you're forming the connections.  The connections are simply the "air" between the letters when you would normally lift your writing utensil. Make sure to close gaps on the tops of words. If they aren't closed it will be difficult to tell if a lowercase letter is an "a" or a "u."

TL;DR in English: Start with the alphabet. Hold your writing utensil properly. Learn connections.

Of course you'd love to just not have to deal with bathroom germs, but that is not realistic. Instead, plan your bathroom breaks to coincide with being near the cleanest possible area. If you're on a road trip, scope out gas stations that have a great reputation for being clean. Use social media and travel websites that post a lot of reviews to help with your research.  Also, wear clothes that are easy to manage. Loose fitting clothing that is easy to manipulate is your best bet. You can also plan ahead by thinking about how to navigate the room or stall while touching as few surfaces as possible. For example, touch up your make-up in the car. Then you will have to spend less time in the restroom, and will therefore touch fewer surfaces. If you don't want to either squat or touch the seat, you need a barrier. Utilize the paper liners that are in many public restrooms, taking care to flush them when you're done. If a liner is not available, you can line the seat with fresh toilet paper to protect your tush. Try traveling with your own supply of paper liners. Small travel packs are often available at convenience stores, and can eliminate a lot of your problems. The handle of the toilet is actually one of the filthiest parts of any bathroom. Often it can be tempting to use your foot to flush. Resist this urge! This can actually cause mechanical issues, which could result in you getting some backsplash from the toilet. Instead, use a piece of toilet paper and use your hand to flush. Most of the germs in bathrooms are a result of people not washing their hands. They touch many surfaces and the result is contamination. Take care to wash your hands many times a day (not just after using the restroom) to help protect your health.

TL;DR in English: Plan ahead. Create a barrier. Use toilet paper to flush. Wash your hands.

To best help the baby bird, you will need to first determine how young the bird is and how far along it is in its development.  A nestling has very few feathers and/or will be covered in fluffy down, their eyes will be closed, or they will just barely open. These are very young birds who should remain in the nest, as they are still highly dependent on their parents for nurturing and food. A fledgling is older than a nestling and they will usually have lots of feathers on their bodies. Fledglings are encouraged or even pushed out of the nest by their parents. They will usually spend two to five days on the ground once they are out of the nest, flapping their wings and hopping about. However, their parents will keep close watch on them from a distance and continue to feed and nurture the fledgling until they learn how to fly, eat, and protect themselves from predators. Another way to determine if the baby bird is in danger is to check if there is a nest in a nearby tree or perch close to the baby bird. You may also notice adult birds perched close to the baby bird and observing the baby bird. If you see a nest or parents nearby, and the bird is a fledgling, you may be fine to leave the baby bird alone.  If you see a nest close to a nestling, you can pick up the baby bird carefully and put it back in the nest. It is a myth that the smell of humans will cause the parents to reject the baby bird, as birds do not have a strong sense of smell. The baby bird should be nurtured and fed by the parents once you put it back in the nest.  You may need to observe the fledgling for at least an hour to determine if the parents are nearby or to spot the baby bird interacting with it’s parents. Make sure the parents visit the baby bird in the nest to confirm the baby bird is not orphaned or alone. Look for signs of injury on the bird, like a broken limb, bleeding on the bird’s body, and missing patches of feathers (if the bird is a fledgling). The bird may also be shivering or making low noises. You may also notice a dead...

Accentuating your waist is one of the best ways to show off your curves and wearing a belt will help to create a waistline on any look. Make sure the belt fits with your look. There are innumerable choices in belts, and finding the right style is key to creating a waist. For example, if you are wearing a tighter top, wear a thinner belt. For dresses, you can choose thicker belts, including Japanese-style obis. A pair of simple, classic heels will not only lengthen your legs, but also help create an hourglass shape. Make sure to choose simple heels and avoid details like ankle-straps, which will cut the line of your look. You’ll want to pull your curve-highlighting look together with the right jewelry. From earrings to necklaces and bracelets, these simple details will complete your outfit, giving you confidence.  Longer earrings and necklaces will highlight your shoulders. A stack of glittery bracelets can draw attention to your hips. One accessory every woman should have that will help draw attention to curves is confidence. Putting together your curve-accentuating look and knowing that you look good will give you this confidence.

TL;DR in English: Wear a belt. Wear high-heeled shoes. Accentuate your look with jewelry. Have confidence.

Most operating systems come with a software firewall that controls the data sent between your computer and the internet. If you have anti-virus software installed on your computer, it probably has its own firewall as well. There may also be a firewall on your router that you can adjust using your router's settings.  Check the settings of your computer and router to make sure these firewalls are enabled and are functioning properly. Typically, you'll find the firewall settings among your computer's security settings. You may be able to set a separate password to protect your firewall so that no one without the password can make any changes to it. Other systems prompt you for the password you've used to lock your computer, so make sure that password is a strong one. Many updates fix security flaws that were found in your operating system or any apps you've downloaded. These security flaws can be used by hackers and others to infiltrate your system and steal your data or install tracking software to monitor your activity. You can typically set up automatic updates for your computer and the apps that came with it. For apps that you installed on your own, you may be able to set up automatic updates or request a notification when an update is available. Each manufacturer is different. Most computers come equipped with anti-virus software. If yours doesn't, install it yourself and check for updates at least once a week. You typically can also set it to update automatically so you don't have to worry about it.  Run a virus scan at least once a week. You can set your antivirus software up to do this automatically.

It is better to avoid exposure to bacteria by letting the blister heal naturally without trying to pop it.  If you feel like you must drain the blister read the medical warnings and instructions below. One method is to simply soak the affected area. Use a clean bowl or sink and fill it with enough warm water to cover the area (your foot or hand, for example). Soak for 15 minutes. The warm water will soften the skin at the top of the blister, which can help the blister drain on its own. If your blister is in a spot that receives pressure, such as the bottom of the foot, you might want to cushion the area with a piece of moleskin. Moleskin is a soft cotton fabric, typically with an adhesive backing. This will relieve some discomfort. It can also help protect the blister.  Cut a piece of moleskin a little bigger than your blister. Cut away the center so that it fits around the blister like a donut. Stick this to the blister. You can also try other adhesives like Blist-O-Ban and Elastikon. For most blisters, especially smaller ones, exposure to air will help the healing process. Give your blister some air. If the blister is on your foot, take care not to let dirt get on the blister. You may need to wait until bedtime before you uncover your blister. Let the affected area air out overnight while you’re sleeping.

There are four muscle groups in your thighs, and you'll want to work out all of them. These are the quadriceps, hamstrings, adductors and abductors. In order to strengthen these muscles, you'll need to pick activities that especially target them. There are many exercises that target these muscles, more than there is space to be listed. If you ever hear anyone talking about an exercise that targets any of these muscles and you want to try it, you should. This exercise works out your glutes, quads, inner thighs, and hamstrings all at once. It derives its name from the way you hold a dumbbell in both hands like a goblet. Spread your feet out wider than shoulder width with your toes turned outward. Holding onto the dumbbell, squat down until you reach a 90 degree angle, and then rise out of the squat. This move mostly works the front of the thigh and the buttocks, but also the backs of the thighs. First stand with your feet hip-width apart and your hands held in front of your chest. A single repetition focuses on one leg: first lunge it forward to a 90 degree angle, then to its side (lunge left for your left leg, right for your right leg) again at a 90 degree angle, and then backward. This move mostly targets the thighs, buttocks and calves. To do this exercise, lift one leg off the ground and crook it to an angle so that you will not be tempted to use it. On your remaining balancing leg, begin hopping back and forth from left to right and back again in small motions, gradually moving yourself in the direction of the leg you're standing on. A hop to the side and a hop to the other side counts as a single repetition. Make sure the foot you are hopping on is not twisting outward or inward and remains perpendicular to the direction you're moving. This exercise targets the backs of the thighs and legs. Using a reasonably weighted barbell, form a shoulder-width stance with your feet behind the bar and grip the bar with both hands. Sit into a squat as deep as you can go and make sure your back is in a straight line...

TL;DR in English: Know the muscles you want to improve. Do goblet squats. Try three-way lunges. Perform single leg lateral ski hops. Do classic deadlifts. Perform the side-plank hip lift. Try the bridge.

Some bands may only be looking for someone to fill in for one of their members part-time, while others may be looking for a new full-time member. Be clear about your own goals and expectations for your membership in the band to avoid anyone being misled.  For instance, if you’re an experienced musician and you only want to play with other experienced players, let the other band members know before you decide whether to join the band. You could say something like: “I just want to make it clear that I want to join a band as part of a musical career. If this band is more about just having fun, maybe I wouldn’t be a good fit for you.” If you post any ads or videos looking for a band to join, include this information as well. At the very least, you should be as serious about the band as the other band members are. They are devoting time and energy to the group, so you need to do the same in order to make your membership in the band successful. Avoid having to rely on other band members to provide the things you’ll need to play. This may also include any other equipment you will need when performing or recording, such as an amplifier, effects pedals, and so on.  Note that some of this equipment can be pretty pricey. If you’re on a budget, or your band isn’t trying to “make it big,” you may want to invest in some used equipment and instruments from a local thrift store or resale music shop. If you are a lead vocalist, you should consider buying at least a 4-channel P.A. system. After joining a new band, it doesn't hurt to keep spare strings, batteries, drumsticks and guitar picks in your gig bag. The first time your guitarist forgets one of these items or the drummer breaks a stick, you'll be a hero. Jamming and writing songs is often a trial-and-error process, so it will require some humility and willingness to learn from others to be good at it. Always remember, you won’t be any fun to play with if you’re not having fun yourself! For example, if a member of the band offers some constructive criticism of how you’re...

TL;DR in English: Be upfront about your goals and expectations before you join a band. Take your commitments to the band seriously once you join. Have your own instrument and equipment to play with. Be willing to learn from your mistakes and have fun.

Battery terminals often corrode, which can lead to issues with the electrical system of your vehicle.  Remove the cables on the battery and use a wire brush to scrub the terminals until they are clean, exposed metal. Soaking the ends of the battery cables in an anti-corrosion chemical like CLR can also help ensure a strong electrical connection. If the battery has corrosion caused by leaking battery acid, you can neutralize it as you clean by using a combination of baking soda and water.  Pour a bit of baking soda into a bucket of water and mix it thoroughly.  Dip your brush in the mixture and use that to scrub the battery terminals and any other areas acid may have leaked. Baking soda makes for an effective cleaning solution as well as a neutralizer for the battery acid. Plastic parts of your engine, such as engine covers and reservoir caps may be difficult to scrub clean.  Start by using a stiff toothed, plastic bristled brush along with car wash soap or degreaser.  Once the hard to remove grime has been removed, use a sponge with car wash soap to get the last of the grime off before rinsing the pieces with water.  You may choose to remove the components to clean them out of the engine bay, but it is not required. Avoid using steel toothed brushes on plastic as it may cause scratches. Brake cleaner breaks up grime and evaporates quickly.  Insert the straw into the nozzle of the brake cleaner and direct it at hard to clean spots or areas where the grime is particularly thick.  Use a hard toothed brush to scrub the grime away, then spray it again with brake cleaner to rinse it.  Be careful using brake cleaner in enclosed areas as the fumes can be hazardous. Brake cleaner is extremely flammable, so don't use it while smoking or near flames.

There are lots of different reasons why you might want to get closure on something. For example, you might want closure regarding a breakup, something bad that happened to you as a child, or something that you did to someone else. Whatever the situation or your reasons for wanting to get closure, you will need to identify them to move forward.  Try to pinpoint the situation that you are seeking closure for and the reasons why you want to get closure. What person or experience are you holding on to and why?  For example, perhaps you were bullied when you were a child and it's still affecting your life and self-esteem. Or, perhaps you suffered the effects of domestic violence when you were growing up. Keep in mind that seeking closure for something traumatic that happened to you can be difficult without the help of a trained mental health professional. Consider seeking help from a counselor before you begin this process. Rather, plan a roadmap of the progress you hope to make. Now that you know how you feel about what happened, think about how you would like to feel. What would it help you to know? What do you want for yourself? For instance, closure might mean that you get your self-esteem back after a breakup, in which case you should plan to focus on yourself, let go of thoughts of your ex, have fun with friends, and eventually start dating again. Or, closure might mean that you stop replaying an incident from your childhood over in your head. Writing about what happened is a good way to understand it better and start working towards closure. Writing can also help you to clarify your feelings about what happened. However, keep in mind that writing about your feelings is often the most difficult part of getting closure, so you should do this in the safety of a trained therapist's office. Reflect on the situation for which you are seeking closure and write down as many details as you can. Try to write out exactly what happened, every detail you remember, and how each part of it made you feel. Not having...

Masonry chisels come in many shapes, including bolster, pitcher, and sculpting chisels. Pick one that is the right width and shape for your job, and is made to chisel the material you are shaping.  A bolster chisel is beveled on one-side of the blade and is used to break off large pieces or sections. A pitcher chisel is beveled on both sides of the blade and is used to cut straight lines. Sculpting or engraving stone requires a wide variety of specialized tools and chisels. Making a line where you want to break the stone or brick will help you keep on track as you chisel. You will make scoring marks along this line before trying to break the brick or stone in half. However, chiseling into stone and brick is not always exact, so be prepared to work with pieces that don’t break right on the line. You want to hold the chisel so that it is at 90 degrees and will go straight into the brick or stone. If you hold it at an angle, the cut will go off at an angle as well. It can take some practice to be able to hold the chisel perfectly upright while hammering it. Try making some practice cuts before chiseling into pieces that need to be cut correctly. Gently tap the end of the chisel with a hammer, mallet, or sledgehammer along the line you want to cut away. After you score one part of the line, move the chisel down the line and continue scoring the entire length.  The score line doesn't need to be very deep. You are just aiming to make the line weaker than the surrounding material, so that the stone naturally wants to break there. The goal here is to make a line that the stone or brick will break cleanly along. If you don’t make a score line, a piece of brick or stone wider than your chisel can break jaggedly. Strike the handle of the chisel sharply with your hammer, mallet, or sledgehammer. Use as much force as you can, so that the chisel is driven down into the stone or brick.  Repeat your strikes all along the score line on either side of the first strike until the break occurs.

TL;DR in English: Pick the right masonry chisel to score, trim, or shape brick or stone. Mark the stone clearly with paver's chalk or a dark pencil. Set the masonry chisel perpendicular to the surface you are chiseling. Make a score line along the brick or stone. Make a hard strike in the middle of your score line.

A restart clears your PC's memory and closes all software that may be running behind the scenes. Restarting should be a part of your normal (weekly) routine. Regularly running a virus scan identifies then fixes many issues with slow performance. Use Windows' built-in scanner (Defender) or choose from a host of other software options available. This is a step for advanced Windows users and involves changing important system settings, so proceed with caution. Access the registry editor ("regedit") and be sure to save a backup copy before beginning. From the registry editor you can delete old applications, remove unwanted startup items, and adjust user profile settings at the administrator level. Check out Clean-the-Windows-Registry-by-Hand for a step by step rundown. Although many 3rd party software registry cleaners exist, taking the time to clean your registry by hand is generally a better idea that will yield better performance results. Dust can make even the best computers run slowly. This method involves unscrewing the screws on the side of the computer case and using compressed air to clean the dust inside.

Before you buy any components or establish a budget, you'll need to know what you plan on using the computer for. Standard desktop PCs which are used for things like browsing and minor programs (e.g., Microsoft Word and Excel) can use older, less expensive parts, while gaming- or editing-focused computers will need more powerful, up-to-date parts. It's too easy to start buying attractive parts without sticking to a budget, only to realize that you're out of money and don't have all of the necessary equipment to build your PC. Figure out a soft limit (e.g., $300) and a hard limit (e.g., $400) and try to stay within that range. Common sense should guide your purchasing as well. For example, if the processor for which you budget is $100 but a nicer, newer model is discounted from $200 to $120 at your local tech store, spending the extra $20 is probably a better long-term investment. No matter how expensive your computer, you will need the following components for your project:   Processor — Acts as the "brain" of your computer.  Motherboard — Serves as an interface between all of your computer's components and the processor.  RAM — Random Access Memory. More RAM will provide more "workspace" to increase your computer's performance. Think about the RAM as a table: more RAM gives you more room for doing things on that table. Less RAM is like having a smaller table!  Hard drive — Stores data. You can buy a traditional hard drive, or you can opt for a more expensive solid state drive (SSD) if you want an exceptionally fast drive.  Power supply — Powers all of your computer's individual components. The power supply is also the interface between your computer and the wall socket into which you plug your computer.  Case — Necessary for storing and cooling your components.  Graphics card — Used to render images on your computer. While most processors have a built-in graphics processing unit (GPU), you can buy a dedicated graphics card if you plan on gaming or using your computer for intensive editing.  Cooling system —...

" When people misuse "affect" with an "A", they often intended this meaning of "effect" with an "E." An "effect" in this sense is the opposite of a cause - an event that happens because of some other precipitating event happening. Below are a few examples of the word "effect" being used in this way:  It's hard to say what effect the rising price of gasoline will have on the world economy. One undesirable effect of not wearing shoes is getting really dirty feet. The hurricane caused countless tragedies and many victims are still feeling its depressing effects. " Another meaning of the word "effect" is related to the impression or sensation that a person, thing, or event produces. These "effects" can be psychological, physical, or emotional. Below are a few examples of the word "effect" being used in this way:  Dvorak's New World Symphony produced a moving effect on the listeners in the auditorium. The experimental drug is known to have a calming effect on rats, though it is not yet ready for human trials. " This meaning of "effect" is tricky because it can be used similarly to the word "affect" with the meaning "to cause or influence." The two words are nearly interchangeable, though maintain slightly different meanings - "effect" implies a cause bringing about or accomplishing a change, whereas "affect" implies a cause or force altering something. Below are a few examples of the word "effect" being used in this way:  The CEO demanded that the employees work overtime to effect a complete overhaul of the company's product line. Her actions in the War Room effected a change in the situation on the battlefield. " Finally, one somewhat out-of-style use of the word "effect" is to convey the idea of someone's private possessions - his or her wallet, phone, keys, mementos, jewelry, diary, and so on.

PRICE stands for Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. Icing an injury just after it happens is important, and you should use every element of PRICE in conjunction with cold therapy. Every element of PRICE is useful in helping ice do its work, which is to reduce pain from swelling and inflammation. In other words, choose one method of delivering cold therapy as part of your PRICE regimen. A gel pack is a flexible plastic bag filled with a freezable gel. Even after being frozen, gel packs are still malleable and useful for placing over the injured area. Because of this flexible characteristic, gel packs can easily be molded over injured parts of the body.  Gel packs are best kept in the freezer for storage so they can be removed and used instantly. Gel packs are reusable and can simply be placed back in the freezer once you are done using them. Use a thin cloth or towel between the skin and the gel pack to prevent frostbite. You can make your own gel pack by freezing 2 cups of water and 1 cup of rubbing alcohol in a gallon plastic freezer bag. Chemical cold packs are useful for outdoor first aid because they are not frozen. Instead, you squeeze or bend the pack to break apart the chemicals inside. The mixture of water and ammonium nitrate creates a chemical reaction that instantly cools the pack.  After bending or hitting the cold pack to mix the chemicals inside, a chemical cold pack can be applied the same as a frozen gel pack. Chemical cold packs don't have to be refrigerated, so they are useful for tossing into your bag when you are leaving the house. You can also include them in a first aid kit that you carry around. Keep a thin cloth or towel with the chemical cold pack to prevent freezer burn on the skin. You are not limited to a gel pack or chemical cold pack.

They also contain protein, iron, and calcium, making them a nutritious snack. Just don’t go too heavy on the oil and butter! Sautéed potatoes are an excellent side dish, and they're a popular add-on for pork chops. For a more balanced meal, serve the pork chop with the sautéed potatoes, a dollop of dairy or non-dairy sour cream, and some steamed vegetables. Steak and potatoes is a classic combination, and sautéed potatoes are an excellent addition to braised, broiled, pan seared, or barbecued steak. You can serve this meal with steamed broccoli, roasted asparagus, or a fresh garden salad. Sauté cubed potatoes until golden brown, and then transfer them to a plate. Add more oil to the pan and stir fry chopped onions, mushrooms, peppers, and other favorite vegetables for five to 10 minutes. Add the potatoes back to the pan for the last few minutes of cooking and toss everything to combine all the vegetables. Potato salad is another delicious and creative way to serve and eat potatoes, and there's no end to the types of salad you can make. You can use cold leftover sautéed potatoes in place of boiled potatoes in any potato salad, including classic, country, veggie, Italian, and more. Potatoes pair well with a variety of other mains and side dishes. They're also very popular, making sautéed potatoes a great choice to bring to a pot luck style party, barbecue, picnic, or other gathering. To change the flavor of the potatoes, you can add other herbs and spices, including:  Chopped chives Tarragon Parsley

TL;DR in English: Enjoy them alone. Pair them with pork chops. Serve them with steak. Incorporate them into a stir fry. Turn leftovers into a salad. Bring them to a potluck.

You typically have the right to appeal an adverse administrative decision, but the deadline often comes quickly. Once the deadline has passed, the decision becomes final.  If you get a notice of the decision in the mail, it typically includes instructions on how to appeal the decision. It also may include a copy of the form you'll need to fill out and file. Mark all the deadlines on your calendar or set reminders so you won't accidentally miss one. If you have to mail your appeal, take mailing time into account. Your appeal typically must be received by the deadline, not mailed on that date. Most administrative agencies have a specific form you must complete if you want to appeal an initial decision. The form may have been included with your notice of the initial decision, or you may have to go to the agency's office to pick one up.  You also may be able to download a copy of the form from the agency's website. Forms may vary from county to county within a state, so make sure the one you've downloaded is acceptable at the agency where you need to file your appeal. The appeal form will include instructions on any additional documentation that must be included with the form itself. Follow this list and make copies of these documents – don't send originals unless they are specifically requested.  If the agency requires you to send any original documents, go ahead and make a copy of the document for your own records so you still have it for reference. You may be required to get the record from the initial agency decision. If so, the appeal instructions will provide steps on how to do that. Expect to pay a small fee for copies of the record. Check the appeal instructions or contact the agency to find out if a fee is required to file an appeal. If you fail to pay any required fees, your appeal typically will be dismissed and you may not have time to refile it. Some administrative agencies may require you to submit a separate form or letter to officially petition for a hearing in front of a civil court judge or...

TL;DR in English: Check deadlines and instructions carefully. Use the appropriate forms. File all required paperwork. Petition for a hearing. Evaluate the response from the agency. Consult an administrative law attorney. Gather documents and information for your hearing.

You'll want to feel comfortable while you're pregnant, and this means being comfortable with what you're wearing. Add maternity pieces to your wardrobe that show off your personal style, not ones that change it. Don’t feel like you have to dress in dreary black to look smaller. Let your wardrobe mirror this happy time in your life with colors that accentuate the glow of your skin. Gone are the days when maternity clothes had wild polka dots and other patterns meant to camouflage a woman’s growing figure. If you normally wear solids, then you should stick to your personal style. However, if you are someone who loves floral patterns, pair some bold-print tunics with leggings. These types of shirts and dresses accentuate your figure, whether you're pregnant or not. It's the perfect piece to keep you looking feminine and stylish throughout your pregnancy. Show off your fun side, and try wearing a wrap top in bold colors or prints. This is a flattering option that doesn’t leave you looking shapeless. The empire waist wraps around your upper midriff emphasizing your cleavage. Furthermore, you might even be able to keep wearing these dresses after the baby is born. Show off your new figure with a dress that hugs your curves. It's best to wear dark colors in these types of dresses. Try a black cotton dress that accentuates your curves, topped with a few simple accessories. Now's the time to show off your bust by wearing low-cut shirts and V-neck sweaters. V-neck shirts show off a pregnant woman's figure, and look especially flattering on them. This is optional, of course, if you prefer to dress more modestly. Chunky necklaces and bracelets or a big bag (that might double as a trendy diaper bag) can really make a fashion statement, and they are things you can continue to wear post-pregnancy. Don't forget cool scarves to keep you looking on point.

TL;DR in English:


Seek help from a therapist. Try cognitive therapy. Consider exposure therapy. Ask about medications.

For companies with a relatively large number of smaller accounts (customers that only buy small amounts of product), or companies that historically have experienced only a very small amount of unpaid accounts, the best and easiest option is to estimate the allowance as a percentage of sales. Calculate a reasonable percentage of sales by:  Examining historical records of unpaid sales accounts. Look over your records and find out when sales accounts went unpaid. It's generally a good idea to look over the past five years and find out your total sales for each year and the total value of unpaid accounts for each year. Finding the average percentage of total sales that this debt accounted for. For each year, divide the value of unpaid accounts by your total sales figures. This will give you a percentage of total sales that went unpaid. Applying that percentage to the current sales figure. For example, if 3% of debts historically went unpaid, the company will adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts to 3% of total sales for the current accounting period. If your company deals with a relatively small number of clients, use an individualized risk analysis for each customer. This requires organizing clients into categories based on historical risk of unpaid accounts. For example, some clients might be deemed high-risk, while others might be low-risk or medium-risk. Each category is then assigned a doubtful accounts percentage that reflects the likeliness of customers in that category failing to pay their accounts. Multiply these percentages by total sales in each customer category to arrive at an estimated allowance for doubtful accounts.  This method can be more art than science. For example, you cannot assign a historical risk rate to a new customer. In this case, you can use either a historical percentage of sales for all accounts (see previous step) or you can use your own personal judgement of the customer. Additionally, a customer that has historically let his purchases go unpaid may become more reliable with...

TL;DR in English: Use a percentage of total sales. Use risk analysis. Use a combined analysis. Create a receivables aging schedule.

Throwing a camping hatchet or an axe around might seem like fun, but it's dangerous and not recommended for the mechanics described here. Get a traditional throwing tomahawk made for the purpose. These are weighted appropriately for throwing, offering a smooth action and a lightweight, making them ideal for the purpose. You can even shop on Amazon for throwing tomahawks, which range anywhere from $20-30 dollars for entry-level quality models. You need something wooden for the tomahawk to stick into, preferably dead wood that won't be harmed by the dings you're going to put in it with your expert strikes. Regularly tomahawk chuckers will typically use a slice of dead tree stump, at least 4 or 6 inches (10.2 or 15.2 cm) thick, mounted on a stand.  Aside from hurting the tree, throwing tomahawks at a rounded target can cause the 'hawk to glance and bounce unpredictably. Even if you're practicing proper safety, throwing at a live tree is a bad idea. Never throw tomahawks at targets it won't be able to stick into. It might seem fun to knock cans off the fence, but you risk damaging your tomahawk and wearing the head down considerably. It's also dangerous. Tomahawks don't stick into soft-wood targets because they're razor sharp, they stick because they're thrown correctly and accurately. Don't risk serious injuries by honing your tomahawk blades to paper-cutting sharpness. It's unlikely that you'll ever need to use the tomahawk for any reason other than fun target practice, so keep it dull and keep it safe. Only throw tomahawks outdoors. It's important to practice all the safety you'd practice if you were firing a gun when throwing tomahawks. Find an open area to set up your target that's clear of any underbrush or obstacles that'll get in the way of your flying tomahawk. Make sure no one walks behind you or behind the target at any point during your throws.

TL;DR in English: Get a proper throwing tomahawk. Get a target stop. Keep the blade dull. Always be aware of your surroundings.

If your anxiety is interfering with your daily life, then it might be a good idea to seek the help of a mental health professional, such as a counselor or therapist. Talk therapy is an effective way to reduce anxiety and to learn effective tools for handling anxiety-provoking situations. For example, you may want to seek therapy if you have been withdrawing from your friends and family, avoiding certain places out of fear, or having a hard time focusing on work or school because of your anxiety. Cognitive therapy focuses on changing your thoughts and behaviors in order to reduce your anxiety. By going through cognitive therapy with a licensed mental health professional, you identify, challenge, and replace the negative thoughts that cause you to feel anxiety.  For example, you might find that you often think to yourself, “I am going to fail,” and this thought may cause you to feel anxious. With cognitive behavioral therapy, you will learn to identify this thought as it occurs and challenge the thought or change it into something positive, such as “I am going to do my best.” Cognitive therapy is something that you should only undergo with a licensed therapist. Ask your therapist about using cognitive therapy as part of your treatment plan. Exposure therapy helps you to face the fears that cause you to feel anxious. Over time, you may increase the intensity of your exposure or face your fears for longer periods of time. As a result, your fears and anxiety levels should improve.  For example, if you are afraid of flying, then you might begin by imagining that you are in an airplane. Over time, you might work up to visiting the airport, taking a short flight, and then, as a final goal, taking a cross-country or overseas flight.  You should only undergo exposure therapy with the guidance of a licensed therapist. If your fears cause you to feel anxiety, then talk to your therapist about incorporating some exposure therapy into your treatment program. There are several different types of medication available for...

Use phosphorus-free fertilizer. Clean up grass, leaves, and other yard debris. Use a fertilizer with slow-release granules. Apply half of the recommended amount of fertilizer. Clean up your pet’s waste.

If you’re concerned about damaging pants, or you need to show up to your destination and wear them without time to iron them, use a suit bag that will allow you to pack them vertically without folding them in half. This is the best way to keep your pants wrinkle-free.  Affix the pants to a pants hanger that won't damage the fabric. Some pants hangers require folding the pants in half at the knee and draping them over the top of the hanger. Store them neatly in your suit bag, making sure they’re completely straight so they'll remain wrinkle-free.

TL;DR in English: Pack the dressiest pants in a suit bag.

There are many different species of snakes, some more suited to becoming a pet than others. Certain snakes grow up to 30 ft (9 m) long! Some snakes can live up to 30 years, so you need to be prepared for that kind of commitment. If you’ve never owned a snake before, you may want to start with a corn snake, a ball python, or a kingsnake. These snakes have the best temperaments, least amount of feeding issues, highest level of hardiness and healthiness, and come in a variety of colors. You’ll need to learn a lot about the snake you want before purchasing it. Research to find out about the particular snake’s habitat (including lighting and heating requirements) diet, size, temperament, and life span. Make sure you really want a snake and are prepared to take good care of it for the entirety of its life. Pet store snakes are often poorly bred or captured in the wild. A better option is to find a breeder you can trust that offers high-quality snakes for a price that you are willing to pay. You should also consider adopting a snake, rather than purchasing from a breeder. This way, you can provide a good home to a snake that someone else wasn’t able to properly care for.  Look for a small-scale breeder, rather than someone who mass produces reptiles.  Read reviews about the seller or breeder to see find out if others have had good experiences. Good breeders and sellers know about the animal they are selling to you and should be willing to answer questions that you may have. A healthy snake should have a clear nose and eyes, neatly arranged scales, healthy-looking skin (no blisters or partial shedding), and breathe without respiratory distress. It should not be lethargic, and should allow you to pick it up without too much fuss.  Ask the snake's previous owner about the animal's history. This is an important step to ensure you are getting a healthy snake; ask if the snake has had any issues eating, drinking, moving around, or shedding its skin.  You also need to know what it eats and how often as well as the date and...

TL;DR in English: Choose a suitable species of snake. Educate yourself about a snake’s needs. Research snake sellers. Examine the snake closely before you decide to take it home.

Most fertilizer bags will have a ratio of nitrates-phosphorus-potassium printed on the outside of the bag. Look for a number like 32-0-25, where the middle number, denoting phosphorus content, is zero. Phosphorous is the largest source of concern when it comes to controlling fertilizer runoff, because it’s dangerous to aquatic plants and wildlife. It’s especially important to avoid getting yard debris in the road because most drains in the road lead to major water sources like streams and rivers. Keep grass clippings and leaves in the yard, raking them into a pile for later disposal.  Some cities and towns will pick up yard debris for recycling or disposal, or you can drop it off at designated locations. Check your town’s specific rules regarding yard waste disposal. Make sure you follow all parameters for yard was disposal, which may include using a specific type of bag for your clippings or bundling larger debris for easy transportation. This will prevent you from having to fertilize the garden every month. Instead, you’ll be able to apply the fertilizer every 6-8 weeks, potentially eliminating 3-4 applications every year. These will also prevent your plants from getting too much fertilizer at once, which can be harmful to their growth and the surrounding soil. A lot of runoff can be prevented by using less fertilizer. Apply it first to the perimeter of the area that you’re fertilizing, and then go back in a horizontal striped pattern across the area.  If you feel like this won’t be enough, go back over and apply the fertilizer sparsely in perpendicular stripes. It’s better to use too little fertilizer than too much, as plants and flowers will already receive some nutrients from the soil. Pet waste contains large amounts of phosphorus, the harmful chemical in some fertilizers. Always pick up and dispose of your pet waste properly in a waste bin to keep the nutrients from getting into a water supply.  This is especially important to do in your yard and parks and public spaces to prevent runoff. If you don’t...

EXE files are not designed for OS X, so you'll need to use special software to get them to run. You'll be installing the open-source "wine" utility, which adds a Windows "wrapper" to the EXE file, giving it access to the essential Windows files that it needs to run. The wine utility does not work with every Windows EXE file, and some programs work better than others. You do not need a Windows disc to install wine. This is a free development tool that is required in order to compile software code. You won't be using it directly, but the tools you'll be installing to open EXE files relies on it.  Start Xcode after you finish downloading it, and click the "Xcode" menu. Select "Preferences" and then click the "Downloads" tab. Click the Install button next to "Command Line Tools". This is a free utility that simplifies the compiling process, which you'll be using to build your version of wine. You can download MacPorts from macports.org/install.php. Click the link for the version of OS X that you are using, and then double-click the .pkg file that is downloaded to your computer to install MacPorts. You'll need to use the Terminal to adjust some of MacPorts' settings. You can open the Terminal from the Utilities folder. Paste this command into the Terminal window and press Return:   echo export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:\$PATH$'\n'export MANPATH=/opt/local/man:\$MANPATH | sudo tee -a /etc/profile You will be prompted for your admin password before the command can run. You won't see anything as you type the password. Press Return after you have finished typing the password. If you don't have a password associated with the admin account, the process will fail. This command will tell MacPorts whether or not you have a 64-bit system. Paste the following command and press Return:   if [ `sysctl -n hw.cpu64bit_capable` -eq 1 ] ; then echo "+universal" | sudo tee -a /opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf; else echo "n/a"; fi This quick command will tell Xcode that you agree to the license agreement, allowing you...

It is safest to keep your dog away from wooded areas and tick habitats, but if you do decide to take him for a hike, you can make him less appetizing to these bloodthirsty bugs.  Try applying a topical insecticide directly to your dog's skin for long-term protection. This may be the easiest solution. A one-time dose will protect your dog from fleas for anywhere from 30 to 90 days. Try fitting your dog with a tick collar. Tick collars need to be changed every 3 to 4 months, but they are relatively non-intrusive and they will kill ticks. Many tick collars contain a dog-safe pesticide--an acaricide--that kills ticks without poisoning your dog. Some acaricides kill ticks on contact; others are absorbed into your dog's bloodstream, over time, and kill ticks that attach and feed. Try using tick sprays. Tick-repellent sprays are typically designed for a one-time use, and they tend to wear off more quickly than the other options. Tick sprays are often made from natural ingredients, whereas many other tick repellents are based on pesticides and insecticides. Be careful not to mix medications. Ask your veterinarian before starting your dog on a new anti-tick product, particularly if it's a pesticide. Apply these treatments to a small area on the back of the dog, between its shoulders; they may be the easiest product to use, and they typically last the longest.  These medications must be reapplied once a month, typically, although some products may last as long as 90 days. Avoid touching your dog's back for a few hours after you've applied the product to give it time to sink into the skin. Some products kill fleas and ticks, and others just fleas, so check the label carefully. Active ingredients may include permethrin, pyrethrin, or fipronil. Do not use a product containing permethrin on cats: it can be deadly. Visit a pet supply store or a veterinarian and explore the range of products available to you. These can be used instead of--or in conjunction with--topical flea medications, and they fit alongside most regular...

Habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and shopping are all behaviors that can burn a hole into your wallet if you don't monitor your spending. If you're serious about saving, cut down on store-bought coffee too – limit it to say, once a week. It is said that the habits you form in college set the tone for the rest of your life.  Cigarettes and alcoholic drinks are expensive. If you can manage to cut these lifestyle choices, you will find saving much easier. To do this, you may have to surround yourself with like-minded friends. Remember – your friends influence how you behave, and vice versa. If you want to form healthy habits, apart from having a strong will of your own, you'll also need good friends to encourage you along the way. Whenever you have several bills of small denominations, try to exchange them for one larger one – for instance trade out twenty one-dollar bills for one twenty-dollar bill. This may help remind you that you're spending real, significant money. Many people are happy to hand off dollar notes, but think twice before coughing up a twenty. Thus, dealing in larger notes can help you be aware of your spending. Learn to cook. Try to buy food in bulk – grains and vegetables are great staples. Eating out can quickly eat up your savings, even if you're just living off of fast food. Do what's best for your health and your wealth.  Consider preparing the week's meals in advance. Set a "food prep" day—say, every Sunday—on which you make a large amount of something that will keep well throughout the week. Soups, rice dishes, and breads are good for this. If you cook it and store in a fridge, it will last longer than it does fresh. Groceries, especially fresh fruit and vegetables, are sometimes sold at lower prices at certain times: stores try to get rid of food that is not fresh enough to sell, but still has a few days in it. Learn when those times are, and stock up on good, healthy stuff. Dine out as an occasional treat, not as a matter of course. Spend your money on a truly worthwhile...

Combine ½ cup (118 ml) of water with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar in a large microwave-safe bowl. Put the mixture in your microwave and nuke for roughly five minutes at its highest setting. Then let it sit with the door closed for about 10 to 15 minutes. This will enable any gunk or crusted bits of food to absorb the steam, which should work them loose and negate most odors. First, take out the bowl of water and vinegar. Be sure to wear oven mitts or another form of protection, since the bowl may still be hot. Then remove the glass plate, as well as the turntable support or rolling ring that the plate rests on (if your microwave has one). Dampen a paper towel, microfiber cloth, or similar material. Use this to scrub the inside of your microwave, as well as the inside of the door. Repeat as necessary if you need more than one towel or cloth. If bits of food have cooked into a crust that’s too tough for a paper towel or cloth to handle, switch to a scrub brush. Combine one part water with two parts vinegar in a bowl or spray bottle. Then either dip your brush in or spray the area inside your microwave and scrub vigorously. Clean these in the sink as you would any regular dishware. Use warm water, dish soap, and a sponge to give them a thorough scrubbing. Rinse them under clean water and then dry them with a dish towel before placing them back in the microwave.

TL;DR in English: Microwave a water and vinegar mixture. Empty the microwave. Wipe the inside. Use a scrub brush for tougher grime. Clean the plate, plus its support or ring.
