While many gingerbread recipes call for using dried ginger and other spices, make gingerbread that uses grated peeled ginger. The ginger will add moisture to the cake and will give a spicier flavor to the classic bakery cake. The flavor of gingerbread will improve as it's stored. Try to make gingerbread at least 1 day before you plan to serve it. Cinnamon is often the main spice used in traditional pumpkin pie, but you can highlight the flavor of ginger. Stir 1 1/2 tablespoons (9 g) of grated ginger into your favorite pumpkin pie filling before baking it. To add an extra ginger flavor to the pie, sprinkle a little dried and ground ginger into sweetened whipped cream. Serve the whipped cream on the side. Bake crisp gingersnaps or soft spiced ginger cookies that use ginger root. Add about 3 tablespoons (18 g) of fresh grated ginger to your favorite spice or gingersnap cookie recipe for a bright ginger flavor. Many cookie recipes already call for dried ground ginger. To substitute fresh ginger, add half as much fresh ginger as the recipe calls for. For example, if the recipe calls for 2 teaspoons (4 g) of ground ginger, use 1 teaspoon (1 g) of grated fresh ginger. Add the exciting flavor of ginger to simply flavored pound cakes. Ginger also works well with lemon, orange, lime, and other citrus flavors. Add about 2 teaspoons (2 g) of fresh grated ginger to your cake batter. Consider mixing some ginger syrup into enough powdered sugar to make a quick glaze. Pour the ginger glaze over the cake once it's cool. Take a 2 ounce (57 g) piece of ginger root and leave its peel on. Pulse the ginger in a food processor until it's finely ground. Combine the ginger with the sugar according to your muffin recipe. Stir together the rest of the recipe's ingredients and bake them in a muffin tin. The ginger works well with these muffin flavors:  Blueberry Pear and walnut Lemon poppyseed

TL;DR in English: Bake gingerbread using grated ginger. Include grated ginger root in pumpkin pie. Make spiced cookies using grated ginger. Add ginger to pound or citrus cakes. Use minced fresh ginger in muffin batter.

Open a jar of salsa and begin adding it gradually to the dip base. The salsa should be added to taste and stirred in until the mixture becomes a light pink color. Make sure not to add too much at once, as this can overpower the dairy elements and reduce the creaminess of the dip.  Choose a thick salsa instead of thinner types like pico de gallo to avoid making the dip watery. Just to be on the safe side, use mild salsa. If you want to spice the dip up later, you’ll have more control using fresh peppers and other seasonings. Sprinkle roughly a cup’s worth of shredded cheese over the top of the cream cheese/sour cream/salsa mixture. Cover the entire dish so that the cheese is distributed evenly throughout the dip. Add more cheese to taste. The sharper notes of cheeses with distinct flavors, like cheddar and jack, will stand out nicely in your dip. Take the tomatoes, onions and green bell peppers you diced earlier and add them into the dip. Mix the entire entire concoction together so that each ingredient is spread through the dip—ideally, each bite will contain a little bit of everything. Looking for other vegetables to build up your nacho dip? Try minced garlic, black beans or mild Anaheim or poblano peppers. Place the bowl containing the mixed ingredients in the refrigerator and allow it to sit for thirty minutes to an hour until the dip “sets up.” The cream cheese/sour cream mixture will thicken as it cools, and the flavors of the taco seasoning, cheese and vegetables will have time to come together. At the sixty minute mark, or whenever you’re ready to serve it, take the dip out, transfer it to the intended serving dish and arrange tortilla chips around the dip. You’re ready to eat! Leave the dip in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bring it out for your guests.

TL;DR in English: Blend salsa into the dip base. Layer on shredded cheese. Incorporate the diced veggies. Refrigerate for up to an hour.

Uncap the container and rub the lip balm onto something flammable: cotton balls, Q-tips, cloth, gauze, lint, or even dry organic materials like leaves and bark. Then, light the material on fire. The oil in the lip balm will give your flame an extra kick of intensity, and it should help it burn for longer while you get a larger fire going.  You can also use petroleum jelly like Vaseline for this purpose.  Consider keeping cotton balls or gauze in your survival kit for precisely this purpose. Together, cotton and lip balm form a potent fire-starting combination. Add a short wick, and the waxy, oily lip balm will perform much like a standard candle. For the wick, you can use a string, a match, or half of a Q-tip – anything that will not burn too quickly. Coat the wick in Chapstick wax, then stick it into the end of the balm. Light it on fire, and you have a candle that you can use to make more fire.  Make sure to plant the wick slightly off-center from the plastic screw in the center of the Chapstick. Keep the wick very short. Otherwise, it might burn too quickly. Either way, there's a good chance that the fire will melt away the plastic rim of the container. Try cutting a Q-tip in half, then coating the fuzzy end of the Q-tip in lip balm. Stick the sharp end of the half-Q-tip into the Chapstick, then light the fuzz. It should burn well and last at least a few minutes.

Nothing will give you a better return on your investment than a little elbow grease. A cleaner house will look more appealing to your realtor when he or she helps you set a price, as well as to the appraiser the bank sends out when you have an offer. Here are some ideas: Make your house look more spacious by eliminating junky or unnecessary items. Get rid of battered furniture, decaying knick-knacks and piles of paper - or, if you can't stand to part with anything, throw your stuff in a storage unit until after the house sells. Remember that it's better to show a somewhat barren house than one that's filled to the brim with clutter. Once you have more room to work, undertake a thorough housecleaning. Not only should you do usual chores such as mopping or dusting, but focus on rarely-cleaned areas such as baseboards, grout and heating vents. Steam clean your carpets, and wash walls and windows. Wipe down the blinds, and remove any broken screens. Pressure-wash any siding on the outside of your house, as well as the sidewalks and driveways. If you don't have the time to undertake such a project, consider hiring a professional cleaning service. Many of them specialize in residential properties for lease or for sale. A common saying among realtors is, "If you can smell it, you can't sell it." Sometimes, people can't detect how their house smells because their noses are so accustomed to it. If you think your home smells fabulous, have a trusted friend confirm or deny this as soon as they walk in the door. If you keep pets, thoroughly shampoo carpets and furniture, and wash all bedding - you're not selling the bedding or the furniture, but they're capable of smelling up the house just the same. If you smoke, do everything you would for pets in addition to washing (and possibly painting over) the walls and ceiling as well as you can. When you know your realtor will be showing the house, try to make it smell good by baking something delicious beforehand (which you can put on the counter for your guests) or lighting a...

TL;DR in English: Do a basic cleaning. Get rid of clutter. Do a deep clean. Eliminate odors.

Lotion can help revitalize and moisturize dry patches to make your skin look vibrant. Apply a body lotion from your shoulders down to your toes before you put your bikini on. Make sure you rub the lotion all the way into your skin using gentle, circular motions. This is a great way to make you look thinner, and cover up any bruises or blemishes. Simply head to your nearest drug store to pick up a spray tan product. To apply, exfoliate your skin with a wash cloth, and then rub or spray on the tanner. Be sure to follow the directions on the package for proper application. If you do not want to give yourself a spray tan, try going to a professional. Most tanning salons offer spray tan services. Keep in mind, they can be expensive. A great way to feel more confident, and add style to your bikini look is to wear a cover-up. These come in a variety of styles, such as a cotton jersey halter, a fringe wrap skirt, or a lace kimono. They are the perfect thing to wear when you are not swimming, but just hanging out near the water because they allow you coverage without having to get completely dressed. Sun hats are a great way to protect your skin and look super chic. Try looking for a straw hat to match your bikini vibe. Regardless of what some may think, everyone can pull of a sun hat, especially when it is being worn with a bikini. One way to slim down your waist is to lift the breasts by either wearing a bikini top that has supportive underwire, or by using waterproof medical tape. To use the medical tape, start with the tape under the arm, and bring it inward, pulling the tape so that it lifts your breasts and pushes up your cleavage. You will want to use about three pieces of tape on each side for a secure hold.

TL;DR in English: Moisturize your skin. Apply a spray tan. Wear a bikini cover-up. Accessorize with a hat. Create the look of a slimmer waist.

Ideally, your tank will be 10 gallons (37.9 L) in volume. You don’t want to overcrowd your tank. If you have a 10-gallon tank, for example, aim for about five guppies. This will simply help you maintain the tank better and keep your fish healthier. Some guppy breeders and enthusiasts might argue that you don’t need to follow that ratio, but the more fish you have in your tank, the more often you will have to clean it and change the water. Consider this when deciding what size tank to get, and how many guppies to keep in it. There are a few ways you can dechlorinate your water. You can let it sit with the lid open for about a week to let the chlorine evaporate, or you can buy a dechlorinating kit. It’s important to dechlorinate your aquarium, and any water you add to it in the future.  You can buy these supplies at a local pet supply store for a relatively low cost. You will also want to buy a chlorine testing kit, just to make sure the water is completely free of chlorine before adding your fish. Follow instructions on the dechlorination bottle. Nearly all tap water has a certain level of chlorine in it. You can use purified, filtered, or distilled water that is free of chlorine, to begin with, but to be safe, still test the water for chlorine before putting your fish in it.  Try to keep the pH level in your tank between 8/10 guppies like higher level pH so aim for around 7.5pH to help you keep the pH at a high you may want to add crushed coral. This is equal to about 24 and 28 degrees Celsius. Keep a thermometer in the tank to monitor the temperature. If you find it needs to be heated, you can purchase a small heater to place in the tank.  If you need a heater, make sure you buy one that is appropriate for the size of aquarium you have. For example, if you have a 5-gallon tank, you’ll need a less powerful heater than if you have a 20-gallon tank. Ask the associate at the pet supply store if you aren’t sure which heater you need. To avoid overheating your tank, it’s best to keep it out of direct sunlight. Use...

Make brushing enjoyable. Reward yourself. Visit the dentist. Notice any changes in how you feel.

If you put on a harness, make sure it is loose enough. You should be able to put a finger or two between the harness and the guinea pig. If it's too tight, it could harm the guinea pig's back over time and chaff under his armpits. It may not be a good idea to put a harness on at all. Some owners have had trouble with harnesses harming guinea pigs' backs  after they've worn it several times. If you insist on using a leash, make sure you just do it in the yard. That is, you can use a leash to keep your guinea pig from wandering too far. However, you need to supervise the guinea pig the whole time. A leash isn't license to leave your guinea pig alone outside.  Also, don't tug on the leash. Just let your guinea pig roam about. Make sure the leash is always loose, and your guinea pig doesn't get tangled in it. While you can put your guinea pig in a harness, it's not a good idea to walk it on a leash. The tugging sensation can harm the guinea pig's delicate spine very easily. In addition, most guinea pigs won't take to walking, meaning they can't be trained to walk beside you on a leash.  In addition, guinea pigs can easily slip out of harnesses, so they can escape before you can catch them. Therefore, trying to walk a guinea pig in a street isn't a good idea. It could get away from you and be harmed.

TL;DR in English: Make sure the harness isn't too tight. Use leashes just for the yard. Don't walk your guinea pig.

There are two types of traps available for groundhogs: traps that kill the groundhogs immediately and traps that keep them alive, so you can take them somewhere and release them. Because the traps that kill groundhogs are dangerous to use and often end up killing house pets and other animals, they are illegal in many places. The safer and more humane option is a live trap, which uses bait to lure the groundhog into a cage that has a door that will lock shut. These traps are available at garden supply stores and can be reused as often as necessary.  If you prefer to use a trap that kills the groundhog and it's legal in your state to do so, call a professional groundhog extermination service to have them set the trap and deal with the groundhog after it's been caught. This is not recommended if you have pets that may wander near the trap. Relocating groundhogs is also illegal in some areas. If this is the case in your region, you'll need to call animal control to dispose of the groundhog on your property. In the spring, groundhogs are active, but they haven't yet given birth to their young. Trapping them before the babies are born will prevent you from having 4 extra groundhogs to deal with. Another benefit of trapping in spring is that the tunnels are easier to spot, since no foliage is covering them. Finally, groundhogs are extra-hungry this time of year because their favorite foods have yet to sprout. This means they'll be easily enticed by the bait you set out.  Plan to trap groundhogs in early spring, before the flowers and leaves come out in full force. You can also trap groundhogs in the fall. The best place to set the trap is close to the entrance hole to the groundhog's burrow. To find the hole, look for a place where the dirt at the ground's surface is disturbed, and follow it to a small hole or caved-in spot. You'll want to set the trap 5–10 feet (1.5–3.0 m) from the hole to make sure it's within easy reach. Determine where the groundhog high-traffic area is by looking for footprints, trails or where...

TL;DR in English: Decide what type of trap to use. Set the trap in the early spring. Find a groundhog hole.

If you see brushing your teeth as a chore, you’re less likely to keep at it. Do what you can to make the process enjoyable. Choose products that you like, and that are comfortable for you.  Choose a toothpaste that you like. Toothpaste comes in many flavors including mint, anise, and cinnamon. They’re all essentially the same in terms of effectiveness as long as they contain fluoride. Be sure that your toothpaste has the ADA seal of approval.  Choose a toothbrush that fits comfortably in your hand and in your mouth. Soft bristles can feel good on sensitive gums and teeth and they will also protect your gums against gum recession. Rewards can be big or small, but they should be significant to you. Decide ahead of time what your reward will be, and how long you’ll have to keep up your routine to earn it.  Tell a friend or loved one what your reward will be. They can remind you if you start to lose motivation. When you earn your first reward, take the time to enjoy it. Then set a new reward for a new goal. Rewards don't have to be related to your teeth at all! You can take yourself out to a great meal, or splurge on a purchase you wouldn't otherwise make. No one can give you more accurate feedback on your progress than your dentist. Regular appointments for checkups and cleanings are essentially feedback sessions to see how your brushing has improved your dental health. Talk to your dentist about your efforts to brush regularly and the progress you’ve made. Ask your dentist to tell you what you might be doing wrong and how you can improve your brushing habits. Once you’ve been brushing your teeth regularly for a while, you may feel more confident. Your smile and breath are likely more clean and fresh than they were before. Take the time to enjoy that newfound confidence; it’s just what you need to stick with your new habit.

If the entirety of the root system isn’t removed, it’s possible that the weeds will regrow and return. Wait one or two days after you water or after it rains heavily so the soil has time to soak. Pulling weeds from wet soil will disturb surrounding plants less than dry soil. Instead of kneeling on hard ground or rocks, wear knee pads to prevent soreness and stiffness later. Gloves will help stop any skin irritation and can also prevent blisters from long days of pulling weeds.  If you do not have knee pads, laying down a cushion or folded towel is a good substitute.  Use gloves that are made from a non-stick, but breathable, material. This will make the weeds easier to pull up. Use the tool to dig around in the soil around the weeds. This can also help you dig up more established weeds. If you grab the weeds in handfuls, you may not pull out the taproot, or the root that provides most of the weed’s water. While it is more tedious, to prevent weeds from growing back, pull them one at a time. This ensures that you grab the weed by the main root. Twisting the weed will help break off smaller roots and make it easier to pull out.  Do not use a fast jerking motion when pulling, as this can cause large root sections to break off and regrow.  Put everything that you have pulled in a bucket so they do not germinate again and throw them in the trash. Do not put them in compost.

TL;DR in English: Water the weeds to loosen the root system. Wear knee pads and gloves to protect your body. Loosen weeds with a soil knife or garden fork. Grab and pull weeds individually rather than in clumps. Pull the weed from its base with an upward and twisting motion.

Rubber is especially prone to chipping or flaking after being painted. If you want to paint rubber, buy acrylic paints online or from a craft store for a lasting color. Painting rubber is the most temporary way to stain objects. Choose this method if you're unsure how permanent you want your dyed color to be. Mod Podge helps the paint stick to your object and prevent the color from flaking. Use a paint brush to cover the surface in a thin Mod Podge layer, and let it dry for 15-20 minutes.  Clean the rubber with soap and water first to remove debris for a more secure paint job. If you have any areas you don't want to paint, affix painter's tape over these areas before applying the Mod Podge. You can buy Mod Podge from most home improvement or craft stores. Dip a foam brush into the acrylic paint and apply it in even layers to the rubber object. When you've covered the entire surface in the paint, let it dry for 30-60 minutes and inspect the color's brightness. For a stronger color, apply 2-3 coats of paint. Wait for each coat to dry before applying another one, which should take between 30 minutes to an hour. After the last paint coat dries, hold the paint sealer's nozzle 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) from the surface and spray an even coating over the rubber. Let the paint sealer dry for 30-60 minutes before touching or using the rubber object. Even with paint sealer, acrylic paint may flake or chip over time. Reapply paint coats as needed to restore the rubber's color, spraying more paint sealer afterward.

TL;DR in English: Use acrylics to paint rubber objects. Apply a layer of Mod Podge over your object before painting. Use a foam brush to apply the acrylics. Spray a paint sealer over the rubber to preserve its color.

The alphabet is the bare bones of reading. In order to understand books, stories, sentences, or even words, you must first understand the letters of the alphabet. Teaching your child the alphabet will help her learn to recognize letters and sound them out so that they can later build them together to make words.  Use tactile learning tools. Buy a set of 3 in (7.6 cm) foam letters and/or blocks with letters of the alphabet to play with. As your child plays, tell them what each letter sounds like. Then ask them to try and reproduce the sound. You can gradually advance to having your child identify which letter makes a sound that you speak. "Quiz" them by showing them 3 letters and asking, for example, which one makes the "ah" sound. In addition to recognizing the appearance of a written letter, teach your child the sound each letter makes. Work on one letter at a time, or break it into small groups of letters. For example, one day you might work on A through D, the next day E through H, and so on. Vowels are the next step to progress to after learning the basic alphabet. They're a little easier to learn than consonants since there are only A, E, I, O, U, and Y. One easy way to teach vowels is to print out vowel workbook pages from a phonics website, or purchase a similar book at your local bookstore. These workbook pages typically show pictures and words, and often help break down the parts of a word. Matching the word with its corresponding image might help your child better understand the meanings of words.  You can find free vowel workbook pages online at websites like http://www.schoolexpress.com/fws/cat.php?id=2483. Show your child pictures and say the word each image depicts. Ask your child which vowel makes the sound for that word.  For example, when you show a picture of a cat and say "cat," ask your child to identify which vowel makes the "a" sound. Once your child has gotten the hang of vowels, you're ready to move on to consonants. Consonants can be trickier, in part because there are so many more of...

An eye catching pendant revitalizes any ensemble. You can also draw attention to your figure with a long necklace. Layer multiple strands at once to create a more dramatic effect. With bling of different sizes and styles your dress will fit in at any occasion.  Neutral metallics support a more conservative look. A necklace with chunky stones and bold color create a funky look. A tattoo inspired necklace with its intricate patterns is pure vamp. A wide metallic bangle captures a futuristic look while leather studded cuffs show off your inner rebel. Stacking multiple bracelets together will have a bolder effect. Tasseled dangly earrings and sparkly hoops are both strong choices. On the other hand, larger studs will draw extra attention to your face. Opt for smaller studs for a simpler, more elegant look. Go for a masculine inspired (larger sized) watch to show off your sporty side. Embellish your outfit simply, with a classic brooch. Alternately, pair the dress with something more modern like a button-inspired brooch, or think outside the box with one made of ribbons or feathers. If you're sick of your neckline, change it up with a detachable collar. For a semi-formal affair, pair your dress with a beautiful yet delicate neck scarf. A pashmina offers the most coverage for your neck and shoulders when it gets cold. Pick a metal belt and clasp it around the smallest part of your waist to show off your shape. You can also try a brightly colored or glittery belt that pops against the black. This will add shape to a looser dress or emphasize form in an already fitted one. Stay warm and stylish by adding a pair of tights to your ensemble. Try black tights for a more traditional look. For something understated pick a nude or a brown colored stocking. Try polka-dotted tights or sparkly stockings to add a sense of volume to your dress. Experiment with colorful stockings. Purple, orange, or even bright red are especially fun to try. Wear these bold colored tights on a night out rather than a day at the office.

Like in normal solitaire, this stock or "waste" pile determines which cards are next playable. However, rather than placing cards from the stock pile onto cards in pyramids, you will be taking cards from the pyramids and placing them onto the stock pile. The goal is to uncover and remove all the cards from the pyramids/peaks. The only cards you can move to the waste pile are those that are one number above or one number below the card on the stock pile. For example, if the card on the waste pile is a King of Spades, then you can only move a Queen or Ace to that pile. However, keep in mind that the Ace can be either a card above the King or a card below the 2, depending on how you’re playing. When moving cards from the card peak to place on the waste pile, the suit or color don’t matter. Different from regular solitaire, you can place a red diamond on a black spade or vice versa. The only thing that matters is that the numbers are consistent. When both of the cards that border a card have been moved, you can turn that card over. For example, if you remove every card in the fourth row of a pyramid, then you can turn over every one of the cards in the third row. Just keep in mind that if a card is still bordered or “pinned” by other cards, it can’t be moved. If you have reached an impasse with no playable cards from the pyramid and stock pile, then you can turn over a new card. You can do this as many times as you need to move cards from the pyramids. However, if you run through the whole stock pile, then you will have to start repeating cards again. Games are won when all the cards inside your peaks/pyramids have been placed into the waste pile. This means that all your playable cards have been completed. If the stockpile has been cleaned of cards while the pyramids still have cards, though, then the game has been lost.

Take the time to get to know her as a close friend before trying to progress to something more. You may worry about being put in the dreaded “friend zone,” but the truth of the matter is that many girls do need to feel secure with a guy before they will consider going out with him. Letting her know that you genuinely care about her as a human and a friend will establish that trust. Once you reach a level of friendship that allows the two of you to hang out without being in a group, invite her to spend some time with you alone.  If you want to be cautious, ask her to visit someplace familiar yet different, like a different coffee shop or a nearby park that you have both talked about wanting to visit. If you want to be a little bolder, ask her to spend the afternoon or evening with you without revealing your plans. You can take her out for a nice meal, an interesting show, or a night of dancing. Insist on paying. If she puts up a fuss about it, tell her that you want to pay for her since you were the one who asked her to come out with you. Unless you frequently throw gifts her way, a gift lets the girl know that there is something different—and special—about your time together this day when compared to any other day.  Flowers, chocolates, or stuffed animals are all fair game. Avoid expensive gifts like jewelry or designer clothes. After you have spent some time enjoying each other's company, sit down with her and tell her that you have something important to say. Once you have her undivided attention, tell her honestly that you have strong feelings for her and would like her to be your girlfriend.  Do not pressure, but at the same time, avoid blowing it off as no big deal. You must be genuine without being pushy. Good example: “I really enjoy the time I spend with you and consider you an important part of my life. I can't help but have feelings for you past those of friendship, though. If you feel the same way, or think you could see me as a boyfriend, then I'd like to go out with you.” Bad example: “So, yeah....

TL;DR in English: Befriend her. Ask her to spend time with you in a pressure-free setting. Consider giving her a small, inexpensive gift. Tell her seriously how you feel. Accept her answer calmly.

The message will also indicate that the listing was ended early.

Be inspired in your costume idea from other people's picks.

To introduce a sentence that contradicts or contrasts with the previous sentence, start it with "However,…" This will alert your reader that a shift is forthcoming. Always put a comma after the "However," and follow it with a complete sentence.  You might write, "I was very excited to be invited to lunch. However, I had already made plans." Another example could be, "The pattern was certainly original. However, the new wallpaper did not match the furniture at all." When you have two full sentences that are in opposition or contrast to one another, but are closely connected, join them with a semicolon, the word "however," and a comma. This shows that the second sentence is in opposition in some way to the first.  Start with two sentences that contain opposition: "I would love to join you for lunch. I am too busy." Join them in this way: "I would love to join you for lunch; however, I am too busy." This will make the connections between the sentences obvious, and help your writing sound more cohesive. To interrupt a sentence that is already in progress, insert "however" between two commas. Like other uses of "however," this implies a contrast to the previous content, but in a way that makes the contrast sound a little less crucial.  Put ", however," after the subject of the second sentence: "I can't make it to lunch. You, however, are going to love that restaurant." Use it to divide a two-part verb: "I can't make it to lunch. I could, however, join you next week." Put it at the end of the second sentence: "I can't make it to lunch. I could join you next week, however."

TL;DR in English: Begin a contrasting statement with "However,". Join two contrasting sentences using "; however,". Use ", however," as an aside.

You can make a simple dress out of a pillowcase by creating a drawstring top. Once that is in place, all that's needed to complete the look is a nice belt or other accessory to cinch in the waist. An old bedsheet can be converted into a dress, providing plenty of fabric for a short, summer dress. This requires minimal sewing skills and is easy to make.

TL;DR in English: Sew a dress from a pillowcase. Make a dress out of a bedsheet.

Negotiate the price if you’re in a small store. Search for coupons. Purchase in a store to receive more reliable customer service. Buy online for reduced prices and convenient purchasing. File the receipt, warranty, and trial paperwork.

You should have at least one substantial paragraph devoted to the specific topics that interest you. Describe the contemporary theories, books, scholars, or topics that excite and inspire you.  You can pose interests as a question. This makes your writing engaging, and shows your ability to formulate research questions. For instance, you might write something like “the question I keep turning to in my research is: How did gender-based concerns shape the epistolary novel and related genres in eighteenth-century France?” Let the details speak in your statement. This will excite the admissions committee, and make your personal statement stand apart from boring, stale, and vague essays.  For instance, write something more than “I gained significant experience as an intern in a chemical engineering lab that I will apply to my graduate study.” Instead, try something like “While interning at the UC Berkeley Chemical Engineering Lab, I discovered a new method for crystallizing citric acid. In my article published in the New England Journal of Chemistry, I explained how this can potentially transform the industrial production of this compound. I intend to pursue research on these applications during my graduate study.” Don’t be afraid to use the technical lingo of your field. Remember you are writing to your peers who want to know you are knowledgeable. A statement of purpose is no time to be modest. Don't boast, but be forward about your accomplishments. Remember you want to impress admissions committees!  This means don't settle for something like “As an undergraduate, I excelled academically.” Instead, show specific evidence of your accomplishments: “A $2000 grant from the Louisiana Historical Society to fund my research on material culture in Antebellum African American daily life. The senior thesis I wrote reporting my findings earned the LSU Library Undergraduate Research Award.” If there are specific professors you want to work with in graduate school, mention them in your statement of purpose.

Yes, it seems remarkably uncomplicated and highly un-technical, and there are really no acronyms to cover it. However, it's important to realize that from the outset, you have to like the sound the amp makes relative to the style of music you play.   A Marshall amp sounds absolutely amazing—if the style of music you're playing falls in to the Van Halen, Cream, or AC/DC camp. A Fender amp also sounds amazing—if you're going for more of a Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jerry Garcia or Dick Dale sound. The best way to determine what an amp sounds like is to play your guitar through it. If you are more of a beginner, not confident about your chops, but want an amp you can "grow into," have somebody at the store play it for you. The critical issue here is how amp "a" sounds when compared to amp "b," so do whatever it takes to get a good comparison. Amps are rated by wattage rather than physical size (although high-wattage amps do tend to be physically larger).    Lower wattage tube amplifiers will tend to create harmonic distortion at lower volumes, which is preferable in practice, studio, and miked stage performance.  Higher wattage tube amplifiers will distort at higher volumes—which will require more creative mixing for live situations. The wattage has an effect on both the actual and perceived sound volume. In general, it takes 10 times the wattage of an amp to double the perceived volume. For example a 10-watt amp will sound half as loud as a 100-watt amp The wattage and cost of an amp are rarely related, as 10 watt amps can be two, three, or even ten times the cost of a 100 watt amp—depending on the quality of the components and the design. A knock-off 100-watt solid-state amp is inexpensive to produce compared to a boutique 5-watt tube amp. The sound quality experienced from an amplifier can be determined by many things, including (but not limited to):   the preamp tubes used power amp tubes used the wood material used for the speaker cabinet the type of speaker cones the resistance of the speakers the guitar used the...

TL;DR in English: Use your ears. Evaluate your needs. Understand what defines an amp's overall tone. Learn the categories.

If you’re in a local store, you may be facing overpriced products. Talk to your salesperson to negotiate these prices down to match the minimum prices you can find for the product online. Larger chains should already match these minimum prices. If you face resistance in this conversation, try telling your salesperson that you’ve found the same product for a better price elsewhere. While they may tell you that you’re welcome to make your purchase where you’d like, they might also take the opportunity to prevent you from walking out the door. Both stores and online vendors should have coupon options available. Search online for printable coupons to take in the store with you, or apply promotional codes at the end of your online purchase. You can also search your town’s weekly advertising circular for local couponing options. There are a variety of online options for finding coupons. Honey is an internet add-on that will automatically search for and apply coupons to your online purchases, or you can use RetailMeNot.com to look up specific stores. Buying your mattress in a store means that you have a physical location and specific person to visit if you have problems with your product. When you buy in a store, you’re usually guaranteed assistance in moving and setting up the mattress. Online purchasing will allow you to avoid haggling with a salesperson over prices. However, be aware that your purchase may not meet your expectations, especially if you didn’t visit a store to test it out. It may also be more difficult for you to return a mattress purchased online. Note that online vendors may only ship “compressed,” or rolled-up, memory foam mattresses that need about a day to fully decompress before you can sleep on them. Whether you make your purchase online or in the store, set aside a specific place on your computer or in your house for your purchasing records. You should be sure that the receipt, warranty paperwork, and any trial period agreements are somewhere that you can easily access and won’t forget about.

TL;DR in English:


Don’t spend more time than needed on this. Review your relationship in order to move on. Ask yourself if he was right for you. Keep your emotions in check. Examine how you deal with fights and disagreements.

Your Snapchat stories won’t leave a lasting impression if they’re no different from anyone else’s. Instead of simply sharing selfies or broadcasting photos of your lunch, highlight some unique characteristic or mode of presentation that will help you stand out. More people will be motivated to follow you if they can’t get your type of content anywhere else.  Give your account a distinct theme. Your snaps might be centered around documenting thrill-seeking adventures, touring local eateries or even performing short comedy sketches.  Try not to make the same type of post all the time. This can quickly get repetitive. Always be looking for unusual or exciting moments to share. Strive to be the only person doing what you do on the app. This may be the most important criteria of all. No one wants to feel like they’re being sold something, and if you’re not careful your users will catch onto the fact that you’re using your account to do the bidding of other companies. The snaps you post to your story should be personalized, authentic and come from a place of genuine interest.  Package your stories in creative, engaging ways that allow you to relate to your followers’ preferences. Give your Snapchat followers a more interactive experience by asking questions, posting surveys and urging them to share and post their own responses to your stories. New advances in social media technology have made it possible for users to embed URL links through apps like Emoticode. Downloading one of these programs will allow you to share the online address of your personal or business website to your followers. It will be much easier to get new eyes on your page if people aren’t forced to open a separate browser to find it. If you make a living by selling a particular product or service, be sure to display a link to your online store so that interested followers know where to go to make purchases. Teaming Emoticode with a money-processing program like Snapcash can make it possible to turn your account into an entertainment hub and...

Some libraries will let you post advertisements on their bulletin boards. Keep in mind, though, that some prohibit the promotion of commercial events or companies, so always check your library's policy. Many colleges allow flyers to be put up around campuses in specifically designated areas. However, you should always check the rules of the campus before posting your materials. Some campuses require that you have the materials approved by student affairs or another department before putting them up.  Also, many have rules about how you can hang materials. For example, some may only let you use staples or pushpins. Bring 1-2 copies if you need approval; you'll likely need to get the material stamped, so you want to make all your copies after you get your stamp. Respect the tear-down policy. The flyers will often need to be removed by a certain date. Many businesses have bulletin boards where you can post publicity materials. Ask at the front or look around to see if you see one. You may also check local threads about distribution in your community to see what businesses accept flyers and other materials. Try to keep flyers with when you're out and about so you can put materials up when you see a board. Social media is a great place to get the word out about your product, service, or event. Create a page for what you're trying to promote, then make posts about it. Make sure to include promotions, as well as other engaging information to get people to engage. Invite people you know to "like" your page and ask them to encourage their friends and family to do the same. Typically, you can't post flyers on things like telephone poles, streetlights, barriers, bridges, and other public structures. While some people ignore these laws, the city you live in can fine you based on the information you're providing on the flyer.

TL;DR in English: Look for bulletin boards at your local libraries. Place flyers on college campuses in bulletin boards and kiosks. Check for community bulletin boards at local businesses. Go online to "hang" your publicity materials. Avoid putting flyers on public property if your area forbids it.

It might sound counter-intuitive, but going over what went wrong is an important step in healing, and yet it can also also prolong hurt feelings and confusion if you overdo it. How much time you need depends entirely on you, but aim to find the right balance. Go over your relationship to find the answers you need, and then put it behind you. For example, if he's grown distant because he's started hanging out with a much different crowd, acknowledging this is necessary for you to come to terms with what happened, but dwelling on it won't really accomplish anything. Identify what went wrong, but avoid the temptation of using your answers as a means to correcting mistakes and winning him back. Instead, aim to learn from your experience so you can apply those lessons to future relationships. Keep the future in mind, not the past. For instance, let's say that he broke things off because you betrayed a secret that he told you in confidence. Whether he can trust you again is up to him. All you can do is learn from this so you can avoid repeating the same mistake with someone else. Whether your relationship was romantic or platonic, perhaps the easiest explanation of why things went wrong is that the two of you weren’t well suited for each other. Evaluate your own wants, needs, hopes, and interests. Compare them with his. If they’re wildly different, also look back on other guys in your life. Ask yourself if they fall into a pattern so you know what to avoid in the future. Emotions are a fact of life, so don’t feel guilty about feeling whatever feelings come to you. However, keep in mind that a successful, mature relationship often requires you to have some (if not total) control over those feelings. Evaluate how often you allowed yourself to be swept away by them, especially the negative ones, like anger. Things may have been great between you two as long as everything else was fine, but his feelings may have changed after the two of you found yourself at odds. Think back about how you handled yourself in those...

People on the street are more likely to stop if you're playing an instrument well and can make it sound good. If you already know how to play a specific instrument, then focus your time and energy practicing your technique so you can get a better sound and play more fluidly. Try different playing techniques so you can continue to learn and master your instrument. You can play music on the street with any instrument you want as long as you're able to play it well. Smaller instruments, like the ukulele and violin, may not cut through the sound of a large crowd or a busy street so it may be difficult to hear. If you don't already play an instrument, find something that makes a loud noise, such as a trumpet, saxophone, drum, or electric guitar. Learn the instrument as well as you can so you can perform well when you find a place to set up. If you're unfamiliar with the instrument, consider taking lessons so you can learn proper techniques. If you can't play an instrument and aren't able to find one, you can always sing instead. Look for a microphone and a small amp you can use while you're performing so your voice stands out from the rest of the crowd. Practice singing your favorite songs as well as scales so you can improve your vocal control and technique.  You don't need a microphone to sing on the street if you already have a loud and strong voice. See if other performers want to get together so you can form a street band. Popular music is easily recognizable and makes it easier for a crowd to jam along with you. See what songs are currently popular on the radio so you can find the chords and lyrics for them. Look for classic songs that many people would know as well, such as hits from the 80s and 90s, so people can sing along and grow more interested in your performance. If you're playing a percussion instrument like drums, then you may not be able to play popular music as well as someone who can play guitar or sing. Instead, you may practice difficult rhythms from songs you already know or play your drums...

TL;DR in English: Choose an instrument that you already play for your performance. Play a loud instrument so people can hear you over other noises. Sing if you don't know how to play an instrument. Learn popular music that a lot of people will recognize. Plan at least an hour of songs to play so your material stays fresh.

You may want to do this by subject (blue for algebra, green for chemistry, red for English, etc.) or by type of assignment (blue for tests, green for homework, red for projects, etc.). Choose whichever method you think will be most helpful for you. You can do this with colored pencils, pens, highlighters, or even colorful sticky-note flags. On the first day of each week you should scan your planner to see what is due or what events you have. This will give you a good idea of what you will need to do through the week as well as help your manage your time efficiently. For example, if you have a lot of exams or a large essay due during a particular week, it might not be a good idea to schedule other things, like parties. This will give you an idea of what you need to do that day and help your prioritize assignments. It also ensures that you won’t forget anything and will avoid panicking the next day when you realize you didn’t do everything that was assigned.  Start with assignments that are due the following day. If you have extra time that evening, you could do the other assignments to get ahead of schedule. If none of your assignments are due yet, consider doing the easiest ones first to get them out of the way. Alternatively, you could try doing the hardest one first. You never know when you may want to look back and check on something. If you don’t want to keep them in your planner, tear them out and store them in a box or a desk drawer. Some people like to fold the old pages of their planners towards the spine. This will create bulk, but it will also make it easier to find the newest page.

TL;DR in English: Color code your planner. Look ahead. Review your planner before you start your homework. Keep old pages.

While some hairstyles may work best with freshly washed, perfectly clean hair, the French knot actually works best with slightly dirty hair. When hair is immaculately clean, it’s often silky and hard to hold in place. While satin hair is often nice, it will slide out of your pins and the hairstyle won’t hold for the entire day. Hair that hasn’t been washed in a day or two will be full of natural oils that will help you create a shape that stays. If you have your heart set on wearing a French knot right now but you just washed your hair, don’t worry. You can mimic second day hair with product, which will be discussed later. Before you start creating your French knot, it’s important to work out all the tangles and knots. Begin combing from the bottom, slowly bringing your comb higher and higher. Don’t tug on your hair, as that can cause breakage. If you come across a tangle, gently focus on that section of hair until it’s untangled. Continue combing until you’re confident all of the tangles have been worked out. This step is especially important if your hair was recently washed, but it’s helpful to use a product on second or third day hair as well. Dry shampoo or texturizing spray both add a bit of “grit” to your hair, giving it texture that will keep it in your bobby pins. If your hair is silky and sleek, spray your hair with one of these products to make it a bit more coarse. Start spraying the product about an inch from your roots, coating your hair thoroughly and then running your hands through your hair to work the product in.

Despite the stereotypes and common misconceptions, there are no real meaningful differences among generations in the workplace. In fact, Millennials have many of the same career goals than any other generation. Many people have the notion that Millennials jump from job to job more quickly than the average worker. While Millennial’s aren’t as stagnant in their jobs as Boomers, the fact is that Millennials usually tend to stay longer at one job than their Gen-X counterparts. Remember that no generation can be summed up by blanket statements. Just because you meet a lazy or ineffective worker that is of Millennial age doesn’t mean that all Millennials are like that one person. Keep an open mind and remember that, when it comes down to it, Millennials are basically the same as you!

TL;DR in English: Recognize that many stereotypes about Millennials are untrue. Debunk the belief that Millennials job hop at an abnormal rate. Help fight against harmful Millennial stereotypes.

You should have three tablespoons of fat. Place the pan with the fat back on the stove. Add three tablespoons of flour to the fat and stir. You should cook the mixture for one to two minutes, stirring constantly. Make sure to scrape any browned bits free from the bottom and sides of the pan. You will want to have 2 cups of dripping mixture. Measure how much drippings you have and then pour the drippings into a mixing bowl. Add the liquids of your choice so that you have two cups of drippings.  Add pork broth or stock to your drippings for a truly salty, pork flavor. Add sherry or red for a more gourmet gravy. Gravies benefit from a bit of acidity. Wines or sherries add a depth of flavor to the gravy that comes from the addition of the acidity. Some people enjoy making gravy by mixing the drippings with a can of cream of mushroom soup. Stir both mixtures in the pan over medium heat. The gravy should become smooth and thick. Add salt and pepper to taste. If it is not thick enough for your taste, add another tablespoon of flour. Enjoy!

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicates that some Agriculture and Food Safety Technicians may obtain a position without a post-secondary degree, but as an alternative it would require previous experience instead.  For this type of inspector, an education that has focused on biology, animal sciences, food sciences, or something similar are the best options. Many post-secondary institutions offer science degrees that may have specialties in agriculture and/or food-related topics at the undergrad level.  Degrees that are specifically in agriculture and food safety tend to be at the graduate level. In the United States, the Department of Agriculture employs inspectors through their Food Safety and Inspection Service and through their Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) employs Food Safety professionals in their Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.  In the private sector many agricultural organizations and food producers employ agriculture or food safety professionals to inspect and assess crops, animals and output. Agriculture and/or Food Safety professionals usually focus on a specialty of some kind, such as carbon management, microbiology, consumer safety, and import.  Each specialty may require slightly different qualifications that you need to be aware of before deciding which roles you wish to apply to. The Department of Agriculture requires that inspectors pass a written test in order to qualify for an entry-level position. Certification is not required for Agriculture and/or Food Safety professionals, but some organizations may require certification for certain inspector positions.  If not required, becoming certified will definitely help your job prospects.  The American Society of Agronomy offers certifications in a variety of specific agricultural disciplines. The Soil Science Society of America offers certifications specifically for the soil science specialty. The American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists (ARPAS) offers...

Keep pushing it until the glue stick is as deep as it can go. Hold it steady, if you need to. Try to glue the thinner kind of hot glue stick rather than the thicker kind. Make sure that the top/length side of the cone is facing upwards, towards the ceiling. Hold the trigger for a few moments until glue starts to come out of the nozzle. Once you see glue coming out of the tip, release the trigger and extinguish the flame. Your hot glue gun is now ready to use. Working quickly, make a line of hot glue wherever you need the glue to go. Gently push the glue stick into the nozzle to help force the glue out. At some point, you may need to heat the glue up again by igniting the lighter.

TL;DR in English: Insert a hot glue stick into the cone. Hold the lighter parallel to the table. Ignite the lighter and let the glue heat up. Release the trigger. Use the hot glue gun.

A pony tail is a simple, classic hairstyle that works on nearly all hair types, curly hair included. To do a classic ponytail, gather your hair in back. You can gather all your hair, or just clip back part of it. A pony tail can fall high or low, depending on your preference. Once your hair is gathered, put the bungee in place or wrap an elastic band around your hair.  You can even create a slightly different look by parting your hair in the middle or to the side when creating a low ponytail. Consider going for a hair bungee over a conventional elastic bands. Curly hair may be too thick for the usual rubber bands. You can pick up hair bungees at most beauty stores and salons. They're elastic bands with 2 clips on the end. You would pull the band around your hair until it forms a ponytail, and then clip the bands together. If your hair feels too tight, try gently loosening the bungee or band. If you can't loosen it adequately, take your hair out of the ponytail and try again. A pony tail should take less than 5 minutes. A high bun is a quick, classic style that can be particularly flattering for curly hair. As with the classic ponytail, there are some special considerations to take when putting your hair in a high bun. To start, use your fingers to gather your hair in a high ponytail. Aim to have your bun resting towards the top of the back of your head. Then, use an elastic band or hair bungee to secure your hair.  From here, you can pad your hair gently with your hands or a soft-bristled brush, creating a bun shape. You can use a large scrunchie or a hair donut, which is a large and thick elastic band, to secure the bun shape you've created. Simply tuck the ends of your hair under the scrunchie or donut. If your hair still feels a bit loose, you can place some bobby pins around the base of your bun to secure it. You can also spritz your hair with a light bit of hairspray to keep the style in place. Alternatively, you could do a messy bun or make a top knot bun. If you have curly hair, you can try a simple...

If your crush is around and you start feeling overwhelmed, force yourself to pay attention to something else. Get out your class notes and study for an upcoming exam. Read a book. Talk to a friend. If you’re in class, focus on your teacher’s lecture. If you’re not in class, call/text a friend or play a game. Even if you end up staring blankly at a page and not reading a word, it will still help you keep your feelings private and under control. Repressing feelings for a crush can be really hard. If you find another outlet for your emotions, it can help you cope with them better. Lots of people find that journaling helps them sort out their feelings.  You could also try a creative activity, like painting or writing a song.  Physical activities can also help you deal with emotions. Go for a run or try a new sport. When you’re busy learning something new and interesting, your crush might not seem like such a big deal anymore. Trying something new will help you focus on something else. Try to immerse yourself in things that will get you out of the house and around other people. When you find yourself thinking about your crush, actively engage your mind with something else.

TL;DR in English: Distract yourself. Find a different way to express your emotions. Try a new hobby.

You can't reasonably advertise to every person who needs a website designed, taxes filed, or whichever service you plan to provide. What you can do is figure out what specific benefits you're best at providing, and consider who specifically would be interested in them. If you stay away from generic statements and describe yourself as a specialist instead, you can focus your marketing efforts where they will be most successful.  If your clients are individuals, search blog databases or the internet in general for popular blogs related to your company's service, product, or mission statement. These should tell you what your clients are interested in, and specific problems they have that you could offer to fix. If your clients are organizations, use the advanced search settings on a database such as CrunchBase to narrow down clients by location, type, and other attributes. Once you've narrowed it down to a list of a few dozen to a few hundred organizations, you can contact these with proposals targeted to their needs. . Before you start advertising or launch a social media promotion, you should sit down and do the hard work of planning your marketing campaign. Consider how much money you are willing to spend on marketing, then research how you can spend it for maximum effect.   This article on online marketing strategies may contain additional advice. The easiest way to evaluate whether a marketing plan is a good idea is to ask other experts. Don't contact your direct competitors for advice, but do send questions to people running business that provide services to the same group of people. If you're a wedding photographer, run your ideas past a florist; if you are a consultant in a specific industry, talk to other consultants who provide the same companies with different services. If you've determined that online marketing is a good idea, decide whether to use social media, a company website, or both. Every social media account, blog, or company news feed should be regularly updated with promotions or news about...

This will ensure Finder is the active app. Another way to verify this is to look in the top-left corner of your screen, which should say Finder. It's in the menu bar at the top of the screen. It's near the bottom of the menu. Alternatively, press the ⌘ and J keys at the same time to reach the menu. Click on the slider bar under "Icon size" and drag it toward the right edge of your screen. The further to the right you move the slider, the bigger the desktop icons will become. Now, your desktop icons will be bigger.

If you're away from home when you get stuck in hail, you can place your floor mats over your car windows. They probably won’t cover your entire windshield or back window, but they can offer some coverage. Place the floor mats on your windows with the fabric side facing up. This way the feet or grippers on the bottom of the mat will be on the window, and the mats won't slide around as much in high winds. You can find car covers at most auto supply stores and some grocery stores with automotive sections. You’ll need to know the make, model, and year of your car, because most car covers are specific to those classifications. Blankets or tarps can shield the car and absorb the impact of the hail, which can help prevent cracked class, dented metal, or chipped paint. Drape the blankets over the top of your car, from the back window all the way over the windshield. If you can, you should also hang blankets down the side to protect your smaller side windows, too.  The more blankets you can use, the better. You should have at least one layer of blankets covering your whole car, but if you can double or triple up the blankets, it will give your car more protection. If you’re short on blankets, cover your windows first. Duct tape the blankets at the bottom of your car. It shouldn’t damage your paint, but you might have a sticky residue after you remove the tape.

TL;DR in English: Throw your floor mats over your windshields if you don't have a cover or blankets. Use a car cover. Cover your car with blankets or tarps if you don't have a car cover.

Larger or overweight cats may have trouble maneuvering inside the litter box if it is too small. If you are weighing up the different sizes, always pick the larger size. If the litter box is too small, your cat is more likely to stand in its own waste and the litter is more likely to stick to its paws. Purchase a plastic or silicone mat from a department or pet store. Place it right outside the litter box so that your cat has to walk over it to enter and exit the box. This will help some of the litter to stick to the mat rather than to your cat’s paws.  Clean the mat regularly by simply discarding any litter granules into the bin. Wipe it down with warm, soapy water whenever you clean out the litter box. Don’t use cardboard as a mat for the litter box. This is because the cardboard could get wet and therefore also stick to your cat’s paws. every week. Remove feces from the box every day and change the litter in the litter box approximately twice per week or whenever you notice an odor. Wipe down the box with warm, soapy water each week. Wet litter is more likely to stick to your cat’s paws than dry litter. Twice per week is an estimation for how often you need to change the litter. The actual frequency depends on how many cats use the litter box, how many litter boxes there are, and the type of litter that you use.

TL;DR in English: Choose a litter box that is at least 1.5 times the length of your cat. Place a mat outside the entrance to the litter box. Clean the litter box

Many controlling spouses isolate their partners by dominating their time or prohibiting them from going out with friends. If this is the case for you, you must stand up for yourself and let your spouse know that you have no intention of letting your other relationships suffer.  You are entitled to time alone as well, so let your spouse know if you need time to pursue your own hobbies or just be by yourself. Encouraging your spouse to take up hobbies may make this easier. You should still spend some time with your spouse if you are working to improve your marriage. Make this time count by doing enjoyable activities together. If your controlling spouse has repeatedly put you down, you may start to feel as though you did something to deserve that criticism. It's important to remind yourself that you deserve the best, and to do your best not to take this criticism personally. Internalizing criticism can cause you to doubt your own abilities. If this has happened to you, remind yourself of the goals you once wanted to achieve and dismiss any negative thoughts that your spouse may have planted in your head about your abilities. Taking small steps to achieve these goals is a great way to begin to free yourself of a controlling spouse. Many controlling spouses use guilt to control their partners. If your partner does this, you must recognize it as just another tactic that is being used to control you, and not let it affect your decisions.   Some controlling spouses may make their partners feel guilty by complaining about how they will not be able to function if the partner leaves, or even threatening to harm themselves. Other controlling spouses may make their partners feel guilty by making them feel as if they owe the controlling spouse something for housing them or loving them. Many controlling spouses dominate their partners by telling them what to think or what values to have. If you have opinions and beliefs that differ from those of your spouse, it is important to stand up for your right to maintain them.  If...

Use wet wipes to wipe yourself down. Give yourself a sponge-bath. Use dry shampoo on your hair to keep it fresh. Apply baby powder to your body after you wipe yourself down.

Although evening makeup can be more dramatic, you don't want to end up looking like a clown. It's all about balance.  A good rule of thumb is to pick either the eyes or the mouth to dramatize. Dark smoky eyes? Choose a neutral lip. Dark red lips? Choose a lighter palette for the eyes. You don't want your eyes and lips to be competing for attention when people look at you. Choosing one or the other to highlight is a more sophisticated choice, usually.

TL;DR in English: Pick your eyes or your mouth.

When trying to date online, don't filter out guys based on height. You might be filtering out someone who's actually perfect for you just because he's a few inches shorter than you'd like. In fact, try not to specifically mention a height you want in your profile, as it can turn some people off.  For instance, if you mention your height or you say, "Only tall guys!" many guys may figure you don't want to date them and move on, even great guys. The same is also true in real life. Don't dismiss a guy who's striking up a conversation with you just because he's an inch or two shorter. That is, many women feel like they need to be with a taller guy because they feel insecure about their own size. Having a taller guy makes them feel smaller, and subsequently, more feminine. However, how you feel about yourself shouldn't be based on how your body relates to your guy's body. You need to feel secure in your own body to feel secure in a relationship with a shorter guy.  Start by thinking about why you're finding it hard to be with a shorter guy. Does he make you feel too large? Are you embarrassed to be taller? Spend some time exploring your feelings. Try to change your thinking. Being shorter than a guy doesn't make you more feminine. It doesn't make you a giant to be taller than your boyfriend. Only you can decide if you feel feminine (if that's what you want) or unfeminine. Spend some time affirming yourself in the mirror. You could say, "I love the soft wave of my hair." Building your confidence this way can help you get over some of your insecurities. That is, maybe you shouldn't wear your tallest heels if you're going on a first date with a short guy. That doesn't mean you should slouch--own your height. However, there's no need to draw attention to the height difference by adding more inches. Also, try to skip any comments about the height difference unless he brings it up with a joke. Just like you probably don't like people cracking jokes because you're tall, he probably doesn't like hearing jokes about how...

TL;DR in English: Skip the filter. Check your insecurities. Play it cool on a date. Don't crack jokes about his height. Work on your bias.

You can use scented moist towelettes or baby wipes, it's up to you. Use the wipes to thoroughly wipe down your armpits, privates and feet, as these are the areas most prone to bad odor. Then, use additional wipes to clean the rest of your body.  Use separate facial wipes to quickly clean your face. This may not have a significant impact on odor, but a clean face will help create the appearance of cleanliness. Facial wipes will also help prevent acne and other facial bacteria. You can use an actual sponge or a wet washcloth/towel to clean yourself. This is a great way to freshen up when you're in a hurry or when you don't want to waste water. Focus on your armpits, private areas, and feet first, and then give the rest of your body a wipe down. All you'll need is warm water, a washcloth, and a bit of soap to freshen up. If you don't wash your hair, it might get a little bit greasy (which can look and smell bad). If you want to freshen up your hair, simply spray your roots with dry shampoo. Dry shampoos usually come in spray or powder form. The best dry shampoos soak up oil, clean hair, leave you smelling fresh, and provide a boost of volume to your hair. Giving your hair a freshly washed look and smell will help you appear to be well-groomed.  Choose a spray dry-shampoo for best results and easy application. Dry shampoos can be purchased online, at beauty stores, and at your local convenience stores.   It's sometimes necessary to comb dry shampoo through your hair to get rid of any residue. The baby powder will leave a nice scent and absorb extra oils.

Contact your local animal shelter. Go to a training session. Decide what kind of kittens you want to foster. Bring the kittens home.

If you've fallen for a player it's likely that he's already talked to you and made you feel special. That's what players do, and chances are you are not the only girl he's talking to. A player will try to impress you with his outward appearance, his ego, and his money. Take some time to try and get to know him on a more personal level. Whether you are at a coffee shop or a bar, try sending a drink to his table. Make sure he knows you sent the drink over. The idea is to get him to approach you.  When he walks over to thank you for the drink, use the opportunity to strike up a conversation.  Don't let him make the conversation about sex. Try to talk to him about his friends, or what he likes to do. Pay attention to what he says, and be wary if he starts to lead the conversation in the wrong direction. Rather than asking questions, speak in sentences. Tell him what you should do. Don't ask him if he wants to join you, tell him what you should do together. If you know he is free on a certain night of the week, make a suggestion that the two of you go out. Try telling him something like, "We should go get a bite to eat, or maybe grab a drink." Keep it casual, and take the pressure off the situation. Buy two tickets to a concert or a movie, and mention it when you talk to him. Say something like, "I was supposed to go see this band on Saturday with my friend, but she can't go anymore. You interested?" Be careful taking a player into crowded spaces, especially bars. Just because he came with you doesn't mean he won't be talking to other women. If you're just not up to the task of asking him out, drop a few hints to let him know you'd like to spend more time together. Mention a movie you've been wanting to see, or a club you've been wanting to go to. Don't be too obvious about it. Let him think it was his idea all along.

TL;DR in English: Be on guard. Send him a drink. Be direct. Lure him in using an extra ticket. Make him ask you out.

Swim class is often inconvenient; it involves undressing, showering, getting wet, and then getting dressed again, all while you’re still at school and in front of your friends and peers. Plan ahead before you leave your home that morning, and you’ll be able to minimize the inconvenience that comes from swim class.  If you have gym class earlier in the day, consider wearing your swimsuit under your clothes so you don’t have to change when you get to the locker room. If you’re a girl, consider tightly braiding your hair in the morning.  No guarantees, but it may keep your hair dry. Avoid wearing tight clothes such as skinny jeans, since these are harder to put on after getting out of the pool. Always lock your belongings in a locker with a combination lock.  Practice using the lock until you can confidently open it without looking at the code. Your goal should be finding something that’s comfortable, practical, and efficient in the pool. You’ll need to wear the same swimwear for as long as your swimming unit lasts, so find something that you enjoy wearing.  For girls, choose a swimsuit that you feel comfortable in and that lets you move freely in the pool. For guys, you’ll need a pair of comfortable swim trunks. Avoid any that impair your movement or are excessively baggy, as these will slow you down in the pool. Consult your instructor and make sure that your planned attire follows any regulations in place. Make sure that, if you wear shorts that are not intended for water (basketball shorts, running shorts, etc.) that they have a very secure waistband, or preferably a drawstring. You don’t want to lose your shorts in the pool. As long as your school allows them, goggles are a practical part of every swimmer’s attire. You should have a high-quality pair that will keep the water out of your eyes. This will help you focus more on your swimming, and less on the distracting feeling of water in your eyes. When you wear your goggles, make sure that they’re not too tight across the nose. Goggles should be snug around...

TL;DR in English: Plan ahead for your day. Consider the swimwear that you plan on wearing. Purchase a good pair of goggles. Prepare your bag with necessities. Bring tampons if you’re menstruating. Pack your things in a duffel bag. Enjoy yourself!

Almost all shelters provide fostering opportunities for members of the community and would really appreciate your help. Before you can foster, however, you need to get approved by the shelter and fill out all the necessary paperwork.  The best time to find a fostering opportunity is spring (otherwise known as kitten season). This is the time when most kittens are born and end up homeless at the animal shelter. During this time, the shelters are often overcrowded with newborn kittens, and could use your help. Most shelters will want verification that you are at least 18 years old, have space for a kitten, that you are allowed to have a kitten (if you rent your home), and that you can pass a criminal background check. You may need to go to a training session where shelter staff will explain in depth how to take care of the kittens. This training is especially important if you are going to foster any kittens with special needs, such as a kitten that is ill or needs rehabilitation from an injury. Once you have been approved to foster and you have done your training, it may take a while before you get your first kittens to foster. It all depends on what the needs of the shelter or rescue are at the time. Ask the shelter what kind of kittens they have available. There are two different kinds of foster kittens: kittens with a mother cat and orphaned kittens. Caring for young orphaned kittens less than three weeks of age can be very demanding, as you are providing for all of their needs. Kittens with a mother are much easier to care for.  If you foster a kitten that has a mother you will also be taking in the mother cat. The mother cat will do almost all of the work, including nursing, cleaning, keeping the kitten warm, feeding, and stimulating the kittens' bowels. If you are fostering for the first time, you will probably want to ask the shelter for kittens that have a mother. Without the mother, kittens face a far higher risk of becoming ill and dying. Make sure you bring a pet carrier or get one at the shelter, as...

Fold the napkin in half into a rectangle and lay it down so it faces you widthwise (with one of the shorter edges nearest you). Fold up the bottom inch of fabric. Then, fold that one-inch fold back underneath itself. Continue folding the serviette back and forth on itself in an accordion style. Leave three to four inches unfolded when you get to the top.  Turn the napkin over and fold it in half lengthwise. Take the two open corners from the unfolded napkin and fold them diagonally to the accordion folds. Tuck the corners into the pocket between the two layers of accordion folds. Pick up the napkin by holding the open ends of the folds together and place the other end on the table. Spread open the accordion folds to create the fan. Fold the serviette in half twice to create a smaller square. Position it in a diamond orientation with the open corners at the tip of the diamond (and the folds nearest you). Fold the top layer down in half, bringing the top tip down to match the bottom tip.  Fold the next two layers down in a staggered fashion like you did with the diamond fold. Leave the last layer unfolded. Fold the sides of the diamond in to the center. Flip the serviette over. Place utensils in the pouch. Fold the serviette in half diagonally and point the open tip toward you. Fold the tip over so it overhangs the original fold by an inch (like with the rose). In a lengthwise fashion, accordion fold then entire serviette. Hold on to all the layers at the base of the accordion and place the base of the serviette in a glass. Fan out the top of the folds so they extend over the sides of the glass. Follow the first few steps of the pyramid: fold the serviette in half diagonally with the tip facing away from you. Fold the left and right sides in to the center to create a square shape with a seam down the middle. Flip the napkin over with the bottom tip facing you (and the open tips facing away).  Fold up the bottom third of the napkin. Flip the napkin over again. Fold the left side diagonally to the center and a...

Ask the average person what a "smooth guy" is like and you'll probably get an answer along the lines of, "He's impeccably handsome, cool, confident, and well-dressed, with tons of masculine hobbies and interests." While the first four items in this list can certainly be a big help in the dating game, the last is hardly the end-all-be-all it's often made out to be. Don't feel a need to conceal or lie about the things you like to do. If you're geeky, be unabashedly geeky. If you like to do something really bizarre, like watch syrupy French romance films from the silent film era, don't hide this fact — it's super cool to like something unique! Being 100% honest about how you like to spend your time makes you seem genuine and confident and distinguishes you from everyone else around you. Clubs, singles bars, and other traditional dating "hot spots" are great for people who are in their element when the music's blaring loud and everyone around them is drunk. For everyone else, it may be much easier to meet people elsewhere. For starters, try meeting women at places and events that you naturally enjoy attending. For instance, if you like exercise and the outdoors, you might want to try running in a popular park. By using this approach, you're more likely to meet women that you have things in common with than you would be simply visiting a local club. We've all heard it before: "Be yourself and you'll go far." This age-old advice is a little cheesy, but when it comes to smooth operators, it's completely true. Smooth guys don't follow others when it comes to defining themselves — they do what they want to do and present themselves how they want to be presented and let others judge them as they see fit. Having your own unique personal style makes you hugely more interesting and memorable than trying to be someone else's idea of "cool", so being yourself isn't only easier than being trendy, it's also smarter if you're trying to win people over. One way to immediately and visibly differentiate yourself from other people...

TL;DR in English: Don't be ashamed of your interests. Look for women where you naturally hang out. Have your own style. Be open and sincere. Love thyself before loving others.

Learning how to create a clean vibrato with all 4 fingers will take some time – particularly with the weaker pinky finger. Your second or third finger is typically the best finger to start with when you're learning vibrato. Some accomplished violinists aren't able to create a strong vibrato with their pinky finger – so don't worry if you can't do it with all 4 fingers right away. Although it's less common for a skilled violinist to have trouble with the first finger, there are some who still have difficulty.

In most areas, you need a business license with a valid tax ID before you can buy wholesale products. To apply for a license, speak to your government’s licensing board. You will need to fill out an application explaining your business, such as what you are buying and your plans to resell the items to other customers.  You can usually apply through your government’s website. Organizations such as the Small Business Administration in the U.S. can help you with this.  For tax purposes, get a federal employee ID number. You can do this by registering your business with your government’s tax department. For example, visit the IRS’ website, if you’re in the U.S., and fill out a form describing what your business does. If you purchase wholesale products for yourself, you don’t need a license. You may also be fine without a license if you don’t buy a lot of products or sell them often. Visit your government’s licensing board or their website to begin your application. You will need to supply your business license, tax ID, and a description of your business. With a resale certificate, you can avoid paying for sales taxes. All you have to do is show the certificate to the seller.  Without a certificate, you pay the sales tax when you purchase wholesale items. If you have a license, your customer has to pay the sales tax when they buy the item(s) from you. Like with business licenses, you do not need a resale certificate unless you plan on reselling wholesale items. If you do plan on running a business, having a certificate saves you money. Purchasing wholesale goods can take up a lot of space. If you plan on reselling merchandise and make frequent purchases, you may soon end up finding yourself overwhelmed. Clear out some space in your home, such as in your basement or attic, so that you can keep the items.  Some of your items may not sell right away. Count on having enough space to store items for a several months at a time. Many professional resellers rent out storage warehouses. Look for some empty storage...

TL;DR in English: Get a business license if you plan on reselling wholesale items. Apply for a resale certificate with your government to avoid taxes. Find a place to store what you buy.

If you prefer your spread to be chunky or don't mind a little grittiness, then you can skip this step. Otherwise, hold a fine sieve over a bowl and carefully pour the mixture through (you might want to get someone to hold the sieve so you don't spill any of the delicious spread). If your spread seems to thick, you can add a little extra oil to make it more spreadable. Allow the spread to completely cool to room temperature before covering.  Store in the refrigerator or on the counter at room-temperature. It may last longer in the refrigerator, but may need to be warmed before use to get the right consistency.  If you live in a warmer climate, store it in the refrigerator. Consider pouring the spread into several small jars and giving them as gifts to your friends.
