Flip your shirt inside out so that you can see the stain. Take the hem of the shirt and rub it over the stain. Alternate between using a circular motion and an up-and-down motion. Be sure to use the inside of your shirt to rub the stain, in case the stain transfers. Make sure that the stain is dry first, then rub it with a dryer sheet. If you cannot find a dryer sheet, try using a pair of nylons instead. Rub the stain using a circular and an up-and-down motion. You can also use a sock to buff the stain away. Turn a sock inside out, and buff the stain with it until it disappears. Run some hot water over a cloth (such as a towel or clean rag), and add a few drops of soap. Massage the cloth to get the soap into the fibers, then rub it over the stain. After a few minutes, the stain should be gone. If there is soap on your shirt, dip the cloth into clean water, and rub the area until the soap disappears. If you do not have access to water, try using a baby wipe or a makeup remover wipe. Purchase a magic eraser sponge from the cleaning section of a grocery or department store. Dampen the sponge and squeeze out any excess water. Rub the stain using an up-and-down motion. Fill your sink with water, and add in the amount of stain remover specified on the label. Put your shirt into the sink and let it soak. For light stains, leave the shirt in the water for an hour; for heavier stains, leave the shirt overnight. Once the shirt is done soaking, wash it in the laundry machine as usual. You can also try using a stain remover pen or spray. Both can be purchased in the laundry department of a grocery store. Mix some baking soda with just enough water to make a paste. Massage the paste into the stain and leave it there for one hour. Wash the paste off using cold water, then wash your shirt in the laundry machine. Mix one part white vinegar with one part water.

Wash your raw potatoes well in cold water. Cook the potatoes, either by baking or boiling.  If boiling, place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cook potatoes until tender. This should take about 20 minutes. If baking, pierce the skin of the potato with a fork 3-4 times. Wrap the potatoes in aluminum foil or place directly on the middle shelf of an oven, preheated to 350 °F (177 °C). The potato will bake in about an hour. If you already have leftover, cooked potatoes from a previous meal, you can go ahead and use those to make hash browns. Allow the cooked potatoes to cool. Leave overnight in the refrigerator, if possible. Once the potatoes have cooled, you can peel them using a small knife or vegetable peeler. Shred the potatoes using a cheese grater. They will shred very easily as they are soft when cooked. At this point, you can either cook them, or freeze them. To freeze them, lay them flat on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Put the cookie sheet into the freezer for a couple of hours or until the potatoes are frozen, then transfer them into freezer bags to use at your convenience. Heat a large skillet pan (preferably cast iron) over a medium-high heat. Add the butter to the pan and allow to melt. Once the butter has melted, add the cooked, shredded potatoes to the pan and toss to coat with butter. Season with salt and pepper. Once the potato has been coated with butter, flatten it using a spatula to maximize contact with the hot pan. It should be no more than 1/2 an inch thick. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, flip, then cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side. The hash brown potatoes are ready when each side is crisp and golden brown. If you are using the frozen potatoes that you prepared earlier, you can cook them in the exact same way. They will just take a few extra minutes. Slide the hash brown from the pan, or lift using a large spatula. Cut it into halves or quarters, if necessary. Serve on their own, or alongside breakfast or dinner.

Cut off around 50 feet of string and wind it around a 6 inch piece of light wood or sturdy cardboard. This will be your handle.  Lightweight nylon cord works best and is more durable than string or fishing line.   A stick from outside or even a popsicle stick will work just as well for your handle. It is really up to you and what you feel comfortable holding. It helps to have a friend throw the kite up in the air in addition to having a breeze.  Only let out about 3-4 feet of string until your kite is up in the air. You may need to run to get the kite going.

Dry shampoo needs time to absorb the oil at your roots. Before you massage or brush it out, let the shampoo sit in your hair for 5-10 minutes. The longer you wait, the more oil your dry shampoo will absorb.

Bake the quiche as directed, but place it on a baking sheet before doing so. When you finish baking it, transfer the tray to the freezer, and let the quiche freeze until the soft center is frozen as hard as ice. Even though the quiche is technically solid after it bakes, the filling is still quite soft. Letting it tray freeze before going into long-term freezer storage can prevent the soft filling from getting damaged in the freezer. Use a layer of plastic wrap and a layer of aluminum foil to wrap up the pre-frozen quiche, making sure that all the edges are thoroughly sealed to prevent excess exposure to the air.  If necessary, you can also place the quiche in a large plastic freezer bag for an even more airtight seal. Label the quiche with the current date and the contents of the dish. This will allow you to keep track of how long the quiche has been in the freezer. Keep the quiche in its pie dish and place it in the freezer, keeping it at a temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 degrees Celsius) until you are ready to serve it. Baked quiche can be frozen for two to three months, if necessary, without the quality being negatively affected. Do not thaw the quiche before you warm it up. Pull it out of the freezer and transfer it to an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Let it bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it has completely warmed through. It is recommended that you do not thaw the quiche before warming it. Thawing it first can make the crust get moist and soggy.

When you’ve collected the pods, group them into bunches of five to 10. Tie the bunches together by wrapping string or elastic around the stems. Hang the bunches from a clothesline or door handle in a cool, dry place. Use hooks, string, or clothespins to fasten the bunches to the clothesline or handle.  Leave the pods to dry for several days to a week, until the pods start splitting open.  A good place to dry the pods is a garage or dry basement. Leave the seeds on the towel to dry for another few days in the same cool, dry place where you dried the pods. You want to make sure that all the moisture has evaporated, otherwise the seeds will spoil during storage.

TL;DR in English: Hang the pods to dry. Dry the seeds for another day or two if necessary.

When you're beginning to establish your film production company, consider initially producing short films. Short films are brief films, usually 10 to 15 minutes in length, that are cheaper and quicker to produce. Many big film festivals, such as Sundance and South by Southwest, have a short film category. If your film does well at a festival, you can potentially get noticed by an agent. Your production company may be able to get funding or theater distribution for bigger projects. The internet provides exciting new opportunities for young filmmakers. You can upload your content for free on YouTube and, if you generate a following, you may get your content picked up for television.  Make sure to include your production company name at the end of all your videos. This way, you'll help people remember your company. Copyright content before posting it online. This will prevent your content from begin stolen. One of the best ways for production companies to get noticed early on is to apply for festivals. Big film festivals include things like South by Southwest, Tribeca Film Festival, and Sundance. You can also try for smaller festivals in your area, which may be less competitive.  Applications vary by festival. Usually, you just send in a copy of your film along with a possible submission fee. Prepare yourself emotionally for rejection. The film world is very competitive and you'll likely get far more rejections than acceptances.

TL;DR in English: Consider producing shorts. Use the internet to your advantage. Apply to festivals.

One of the most important parts of getting a boyfriend is to meet someone that you'd like to date. Before you head out looking for guys, take a few minutes to think about what you want. List the priorities that you're looking for in a potential boyfriend.  Maybe common interests is your top priority. For instance, do you love to ride your bike? Make it a priority to find someone who also enjoys that activity. You can also list important personality traits: honesty, compassion, and a great sense of humor are all good examples. Your friends and family can be a great resource in your hunt for someone to date. In fact, most people report that they met their partners through friends and family. Let your network of friends know that you are open to meeting new people.  You can say, "Hey, Stacy. I'm interested in meeting someone. Do you know any eligible guys that I might be interested in?" You might try, "Ellen, that guy that sits next to you in English seems nice. Can you mention my name to him and see if he sounds interested?" Accept invitations to gatherings. You never know who will be at Aunt Maureen's BBQ! If you are working on building a positive body image, it might feel more comfortable to meet people through your circle. After all, it's unlikely that your best friend would set you up with a jerk who makes negative comments about your appearance. These days, a large percentage of relationships begin online. Forget about the old stigmas! Use technology to your advantage and put yourself out there to meet the man of your dreams. Or even just someone fun to hang out with!  Online dating might be a great way to go if you are feeling insecure about your appearance. You will usually have to post a picture. This is helpful, because anyone who approaches you already knows (and accepts) what you look like. Always be honest in your profile. For example, don't post a picture of yourself from 10 years ago. Use caution when meeting someone online. Don't give out personal information, such as your home address or where...

When gripping the racket, your hand should imitate the act of shaking someone’s hand. The head of the racket should be perpendicular to the floor when you hold the racket straight out in front of you. Hold the shuttle from your body at a comfortable distance. Your arm should be relaxed, i.e., not locked or stiff.  At this point, your racket should be cocked back in order to generate momentum to hit the shuttle, as opposed to underneath the shuttle. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart. Your dominant foot should be back. Also stand near the center line. With an underhand stroke, hit the bottom of the shuttle below your waist. Your arm should cross your body and end near your opposite shoulder on the follow-through.  Remember to aim the shuttle toward the court that is diagonal from you. For short serves, the trajectory should be flat. This will force your opponent to return high. For long serves, the shuttle should travel high towards the back line. This will force your opponent to move back to return the shot.

TL;DR in English: Grip the racket in a handshake grip. Cup the shuttle with your off-hand. Hit the shuttle.

Walleye fish are found in different areas depending on the season and type of location. Walleye change their habits based on their spawning schedules. In spring, you can find walleye along sandy shallow areas 3-10 feet from the shore of lakes and rivers. Fish at a depth of about 3-8 feet, depending on the depth of the body of water. You can also find them in the river current. Look for sand near rocky embankments, tree stumps, or other objects in the water. Walleye spawn near these areas, especially in early spring.  You are most likely going to catch smaller males near the spawning beds during this time of year. Females go farther down to hide from the sun and other fish. If you want to catch larger females, you need to fish a little deeper, 10-15 feet into the water. Walleye are school fish, so they travel in groups. Once you catch one walleye, you are likely to catch another. Once the weather and water start to warm up, walleye go deeper into the water or hide in thick weeds. You can also look for islands with gravel patches, rocky drop offs, or areas near the mouth of a river. During the summer, especially when it gets really hot, the walleye will most likely be found 15-35 feet deep. They only come to the shoreline at night to feed. Some of the smaller walleye will be in shallower areas, usually the smaller males. Fishing for walleye in the fall can be frustrating, but it can be done. Due to the decrease in temperature and the dying vegetation in the water, walleye move away from the shoreline and go deeper into the water. Look upstream around deep pools or back moving currents if you are fishing for walleye in rivers. In lakes, walleye go into the middle areas far away from shore and stay around 10-25 feet deep.  If you are fishing in lakes, you may need a depth finder to help you locate where the walleye are congregating. Nights during the fall bring large female walleye out of the water. Between 10:00 pm and 3:00 am, walleye can be found along rocky shoals around 2-3 feet deep.  Although you can fish...

If you're using canned chickpeas, open the cans, drain the chickpeas and then rinse them well. Rinsing the chickpeas will wash away the flavor of the canning water, freshening up and improving the taste of your final dish. The easiest way to rinse them is to pour them into a colander and run them under cold water until they stop foaming. If you're  cooking your own chickpeas from scratch, you'll need soak the chickpeas overnight to get them soft enough to cook. After soaking, drain the water, add fresh water and cook the chickpeas at a simmer until they're fork tender. Drain the water and rinse the chickpeas - now they're ready to use. Use paper towels to dry the chickpeas thoroughly to get them ready to cook. This will ensure the chickpeas get nice and crunchy when you roast them, rather than staying soft. Put the coconut or olive oil in a frying pan and place it over medium heat. Heat it thoroughly. Pour the chickpeas into the frying pan with the oil. Use a wooden spoon to stir them until they're all coated in oil. Mix the turmeric, cumin, and paprika in a bowl until they're thoroughly combined, then pour the spice mixture over the chickpeas. Toss the chickpeas until they're coated in spices. Turn it down to medium low and let the chickpeas cook slowly on one side. After 5 minutes, stir the chickpeas so they can keep cooking. Continue stirring the chickpeas every 5 minutes until they're completely brown and crispy. It should take 15 to 20 minutes. Pour the chickpeas into a bowl and season them with salt and pepper to taste. Serve this quick, tasty treat to your friends or add it to a salad.

TL;DR in English: Rinse the chickpeas. Dry the chickpeas. Heat the oil. Add the chickpeas. Incorporate the spices. Reduce the heat and brown the chickpeas. Season with salt and pepper.

For some job seekers any job will do, however for the vast majority there are a number of considerations that need to be weighed before deciding where they want to work. By taking the time to think about yourself and what you want to do for a career, you will be starting your job search on the right foot. When considering your skills, think about what are you good at in a professional setting. Moreover, think about which industry these skills are best applicable to. It is also worthwhile to think about what you are interested in doing. If you are interested in your career, you are more likely to be fulfilled through it.  If you are good with people for instance, something in the customer service industry may fit you. If you enjoy fixing cars for instance, why not think about being a mechanic. Some individuals are looking for a job with a strong mission, such as helping others. Others are interested in a high starting salary. What type of mission appeals to you? In addition, you need think about what kind of company you would like to work for. Do you want to work for a large business or a small business? What about setting - urban or rural? Answering these questions can help you have a better idea of where you may want to apply. How much of a factor is your family in your decision? Do you want to live close to your family? If you have a spouse, how will your job search affect his or hers? You may want to coordinate with your family and loved ones while making these decisions.

Depending on the size of the room, this might be hard or easier to do.  It will be easier to introduce dead space into a larger room than it will be to do so into a smaller room.  Fewer things mean more space.  Add mirrors.  Mirrors can create the illusion of space and make the room feel larger than it is.  A horizontally-oriented mirror over the bed is a good option. Look carefully at the layout of your motel room to decide what is crucial and what is not. Don’t introduce lots of chairs, tables, floor lamps, potted plants, or other things that take up space. Keep counters and dresser tops clean of excess objects like placards or small statues. Remove things that are hard to clean or could be easily broken.  For instance, do not include breakable glass statues or candles that could spill wax on the carpet.  Use furniture with rounded corners -- a rounded corner is more difficult to dent than a sharp corner.  Remove objects that attract visible dust like study lamps and instead use wall-mounted lighting. Diagonal views of a room help make the space seem larger.  Instead of placing the door in the center of one wall of the room, for instance, place it in the corner of a wall.  Try to expand the visible angle of the room from the doorway.  For instance, if the bathroom is right next to the entrance to the room, cut the corner that is closest to the center of the room from the bathroom’s layout (turning it into a five-sided bathroom). This is important because people often ask to see a room before they choose to rent one.  First impressions are important, and giving the room a spacious feel can encourage potential customers to stay. Bright lime, orange, and yellow will give the room a fresh, vibrant energy.  Warm colors will inspire enthusiasm and optimism in the guest.  Cooler -- but still vibrant -- colors like blue and green can also energize guests and impart a sense of safety and comfort.  Use one dominant color and white highlights to maintain a clean, minimalistic design. Despite the temptation to simplify...

Exercise will not only support weight loss, but can help you get into a good mindset for the day or week when you're getting back to your normal routine.  Try to include some sort of physical activity about three to four days each week.    Aim for 150 minutes or 2 1/2 hours of moderate-intensity physical activity each week.  Incorporating regular aerobic exercise into your daily routine will support your weight loss.  Aerobic activities can include exercises like:  walking, jogging, swimming, biking, or hiking. It's recommended to include two days of strength training each week.  Strength training includes activities like:  weight lifting, Pilates, or isometric exercises like push-ups or crunches. Getting started with an exercise plan can be hard — especially if you're doing it alone.  Working out with a friend or partner can be a great motivator to keep you on track and showing up for your weekly sweat sessions. Experts recommend trying to get between seven and nine hours of sleep each night.  Adequate sleep helps with mood balance and appetite control — both of which are important if you're aiming to get back on track with healthy eating. To help get your body ready for sleep, turn off all lights and electronics.  Also try to avoid using electronics at least 30 minutes prior to your planned sleep time. No matter how long you've overindulged, having a support group or people by your side can make getting back on track be a little easier.  Whether it's your spouse, family, friends or co-workers, a support group can be your cheerleaders that will motivate and encourage you through this process. If you'd like, you can sign up for diet programs like Weight Watchers and go to their weekly support group meetings. Sometimes after a few days of overeating you can begin to feel a bit negative or down.  Repeating positive affirmations daily can help boost your mood and spirits and put you in a better mindset to get back on track.

There are many online sources and several books that claim that switching to a more balanced and healthy diet can lead to improved fertility. Though it is always beneficial to eat a healthy diet, it should not replace other fertility treatments and options. However, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle may reduce a woman's risk of irregular ovulation and could improve her chances of getting pregnant. During the scientific study of fertility diets, the trials were focused on a specific condition found in infertile women: ovulatory dysfunction, or irregular ovulation. Women who have ovulatory dysfunction may benefit from adjustments to their diet if they want to try to get pregnant. For example, one study done by the Nurses’ Health Study tested over 18,000 women who were trying to get pregnant over an eight-year period. Only about 400 of these women were diagnosed with infertility related to irregular ovulation. Thus, the study linking nutrition and fertility was in fact only based on a very small number of women in the test group and may not be applicable to women who do not have irregular ovulation. Before you try a fertility diet, speak to your physician about other medical options to treat fertility issues or infertility. There are several certified medical procedures to help you get pregnant, as well as other options to help improve your chances of getting pregnant. You may be a good candidate for fertility drugs that will help regulate your ovulation. Your doctor may also suggest in vitro fertilization, intrauterine insemination, embryo testing, or reproductive immunology.

Place 3-4 pumps of conditioner into your hand, then rub your hands together to evenly distribute the product. Run your fingers through your hair, spreading the conditioner from roots to ends. Continue this raking motion until you’ve worked the conditioner through all of your hair and curls have started to form.  Pump out more conditioner as needed, coating all of the hair well. You may need extra conditioner if you have long, thick hair. This conditioning step will give your hair plenty of moisture and help prevent frizz when you dry it. This product can act as a leave-in conditioner as well, so if your hair is feeling brittle and dry, only rinse out about a quarter of the conditioner. Use a low-pressure stream of cool water so you don’t disturb the curl pattern forming. A little conditioner left in will help protect your hair from frizzing during the drying process. With some cool, low-pressure water, wash out most of the conditioner in your hair and leave a little behind.

TL;DR in English: Use your fingers to gently rake conditioner through your hair. Leave in most of the conditioner if you have dry hair. Rinse out most of the conditioner if your hair is already well-moisturized.

Mindfulness is a form of meditation that calls attention to the present moment – the smells, the sounds, body sensations, and your thoughts and emotions – and asks you to experience them without judgement. You don't try to fight your negative thoughts, but you do not engage them, either. You acknowledge their existence (try naming them – "anger," "fear," etc.) and try not to react or judge.  The benefits of mindfulness include reduced rumination (dwelling on negative thoughts), reduced stress, and improved cognitive flexibility, making it easier for you to break out of old thought patterns.  Mindfulness will help you focus less on the "what-if's" of the future and "should-haves" of the past, and instead engage you in the present moment so you can fully participate in your life. Your negative thoughts may fill you with such anxiety that you walk around with your body tensed and don't even realize it. Learning to relax your muscles will help you feel the difference between your relaxed muscle and tense muscle, which can help you identify when you are becoming anxious and tense during the day. Progressive muscle relaxation can help you lower overall tension and stress, improve sleep, and reduce stomachaches and headaches related to anxiety. You can change your physical and emotional response to stress by practicing focused breathing. This is an easy technique for adults and kids alike, and can take as little as six seconds to halt your stress response.  When you begin to feel stressed, start by closing your eyes and relaxing your shoulders.  Imagine holes in the bottoms of your feet. Take a deep breath in and imagine hot air entering your body through the holes and flowing upwards to fill your lungs. Relax each muscle as you imagine the air passing through – your calves, thighs, stomach, etc.  Exhale and reverse the visualization, imagining the air flowing back out of your body and exiting through the holes in your feet. This can be an especially effective short-term tactic if your negative thoughts are related...

Wear a hat. Keep your hands warm. Cover up the obvious holes in your wardrobe. Get the right shoes.

If she’s canceling plans with other guys to hang out with you, keep that in mind. If you notice she's not as quick to talk about her latest beau either, chances are she views you as more than a friend and wants to be in a relationship.  This is particularly true if she has talked about other guy crushes in the past, but suddenly changes the subject if you mention them. When she stops viewing you as one of the girls and refuses to share anything about her love life, you can rest assured that the feelings are mutual. In the past, you used to be able to get her take on your love life. Now she seems to blow up at the mere mention of another woman. If this happens, it’s probably safe to assume that she wants to be your only leading lady. She may tease you about past relationships, but if you mention someone you currently like, it may not go over well. Past relationships may be her way of teasing you, but mentioning a recent crush will ensure she won’t be smiling for long. In the past, you were more likely to hang out in a group setting. Now that she keeps asking to spend time alone with you, this may be a clue she’s into you. If you're being consistently invited to places that her past boyfriends accompanied her to, such as weddings or dances, you should probably have a discussion about whether you’re more than friends. If she's a good friend, she will appreciate your honesty. Though it may be awkward at first, you'll ultimately feel relieved once you've been honest.  Tell her how you feel. While it could be awkward and you may feel extremely nervous about revealing your feelings to her, you'll be glad you did it. It's much better to say something than to not say anything at all.  You may notice a look of relief on her face when you share your feelings with her. If she lights up when you tell her about your feelings, it is probable that she feels the same way. Begin the conversation by telling her how much you respect your friendship with her and that you've recently been having feelings that are beyond that of a...

TL;DR in English: Take note if she cancels plans with other guys. Watch for signs of anger if you talk about other girls. Look for a suggestion to hang out alone. Observe her reaction when you admit you like her.

Pull the  husks off of the corn as well as any threads or strings. Rinse the corn off in cool water, then cut off any bad spots. If you'd like, you can cut the cobs in half to make smaller portions. You will need 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) of water. You can cook quite a large amount of corn using this method, especially if you stand the corn upright. The water should not touch the bottom of the steamer basket. If it does, pour some water out, but try to keep it as close to 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) as possible. Keep in mind that you may have to refill the water as the corn steams. If you are inserting the corn vertically, make sure that the stems are pointing downwards. If the corn is too big for the pot, cut the corn in half. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, and cook the corn for 7 to 10 minutes. If you like your corn more crisp, check it after about 4 minutes. The corn is ready when the kernels turn bright yellow. Keep an eye on the water; don't let it fall below 1 inch (2.54 centimeters). You will be more likely to scorch your pot this way. Be careful when taking the lid off the pot.; the steam will be very hot. At this point, you can garnish the corn with some salt, pepper, and butter.

TL;DR in English: Prepare the corn. Choose a pot that is large enough to fit the corn, then fill the bottom with water. Place a steamer basket in the bottom of the pan. Add the corn and cover the pot with a lid. Bring the water to a boil, then simmer it for 7 to 10 minutes. Use a pair of tongs to take the corn out of the pot, and transfer it to a serving plate. Serve the corn.

You lose a good deal of heat out of your head. Plus, it is also a sensitive part of the body, so you will really feel it when the temperature dips. Make sure you have something to keep your head warm and protect from the wind. One good piece of headgear for style is a beanie. It covers your ears and the top of your head, while also keeping your face open for people to see. It’s hard to feel stylish when no one can see your face. You don’t want to keep your hands stuffed into your pockets at the only way to keep warm. Instead, keep them out by covering them with gloves or mittens. Either one can work, but are better for different situations. Mittens will keep your hands warmer because they hold your fingers together in a single pouch. On the other hand, gloves give you more freedom to move and use your fingers.  Whichever you chose, you can always give your hands an extra boost with small hand warmers. Like other outer layers, waterproof mittens or gloves are best, especially if you will be dealing with rain or snow. Dry hands are easier to keep warm. Don’t just think about large areas of exposed skin like your arms, legs, or neck. Consider the parts of your body where your regular layers end, like your neck and wrists. Look for clothing that is a bit longer to cover up more exposed areas. Wearing a scarf is a great and stylish way to keep your neck warm. A colorful or interesting pattern can help you stand out, and it doesn’t need to match the rest of your wardrobe in the same way. Don’t forget that there are  a variety of ways to tie your scarf to vary your look, even with the same scarf. Your footwear should have some kind of tread. Winter is the season for ice, snow, and slush, and there is nothing stylish about slipping as you walk along. Boots are also thicker, and will help trap heat around your feet and ankles.  For women, consider higher boots that come further up your legs. The extra coverage will give you the freedom to consider a shorter skirt, and provide a slightly different look than rain or...

If you’re new to smoking bongs, take a seat near a table or stand so you can set the bong down if you start coughing. Sit near an open window if you don’t want the room to fill with smoke. Make sure the area you're sitting in is free of any flammable objects. Wrap your hand around the smoke chamber (the long section that connects the mouthpiece and the water chamber) or hold the bong from the bottom. Make sure you have a good grip before you light it. Breathe using your diaphragm (the muscle below your lungs). Filling your body with oxygen will make it easier to inhale all the smoke from the bong, and you won't cough as much. Your lips should be inside the mouthpiece and the rim of the mouthpiece should be pressed against the area around your mouth. Make sure there aren’t any gaps so the smoke doesn’t escape. Use a regular pocket lighter. Hold the lighter so it’s vertical and light it with your thumb. Keep your other fingers wrapped around the lighter so they don’t get burned. Position the flame so you're only burning the edge of the cannabis in the bowl. This will help the cannabis in the bowl last longer. Hold the flame on the edge of the cannabis.

TL;DR in English: Get into a comfortable position with the bong. Hold the bong with your non-dominant hand. Take a few deep breaths. Put your mouth on the mouthpiece. Light the lighter with your free hand. Tilt the lighter on its side and bring the flame to the bowl.

When picking out pieces, make sure you have solid pieces that you can wear in a variety of scenarios. You want a wardrobe that will take you from work to out to dinner without having too many pieces that are only for one type of occasion.  For instance, a nice pair of pants that fits will can be made professional with a nice jacket and a blouse. For slightly dressier dinner, take off the jacket and add a scarf. As another example, a knee length skirt in a solid color is appropriate for work with a solid color on top, but it could also work for brunch with friends if you add few accessories. for your workhorse pieces. When it comes to fashion, the basic neutral colors are black, navy blue, browns, grays, and tans. Because neutrals don't tend to go well together in the same outfit, picking and sticking to one or two will help you create more outfits with less pieces.  Buy versatile items like skirts, pants, belts, and coats in your chosen neutral(s). White is also technically a neutral color, but it can be paired with other neutrals. Unless you're buying complete outfits at the same time, never buy a piece unless you know what you'll wear it with. Before buying an item, mentally create one or more outfits using it and pieces you already own.  Even though you love an item, it just may never fit into your wardrobe if it's not your usual style, which means you won't wear it. Skipping this step can lead to a lot of unworn pieces that just sit in your closet. The first step of building a wardrobe isn't buying anything; it's streamlining what you already have. Go through your closet and look for pieces you never wear. Eliminating these will make choosing good clothes much easier.  You can sell your old clothes online, if you're short on cash. Another option is to give them to charity. You'll even get a credit on your taxes for the donation, if you get a receipt. Some charities will pick up donations, so you don't have to go anywhere. Consider posting them on social media. Many times, your friends will want to claim...

TL;DR in English: Cover the basics. Pick one or two neutral colors Shop with your current wardrobe in mind. Get rid of anything you don't wear.

Using aerosol hairspray, apply a liberal amount on the ink to loosen the stain. This will bring the stain to the surface, which will make it easier to treat. Keep in mind when using hairspray that it can damage some fabrics and surfaces. This is why it's important to always check the care label before treating fabrics. Using a small bowl, mix together 1/2 teaspoon liquid dish-washing detergent, one tablespoon white vinegar, and one quart warm water to form a solution. Swirl together until the mixture is consistent throughout. Take a clean, white cloth and soak it in the mixture, and then generously apply to the stained area. Allow the stain to soak in the solution for about 30 minutes. Pressing the stained fabric together, rub the polyester until you see the stain begin to disappear. This will help the solution to lift the ink stain from your fabric and should remove any stain that remains. Rinse your clothing under cold running water. Do this until all vinegar and soap is rinsed out of the garment. Squeeze the garment occasionally to make sure it rinses completely. Leaving soap and vinegar in the garment can cause damage to the clothing.

Instead of depositing cash in a bank, purchase a reloadable prepaid debit card.  This card works the same way a regular debit or credit card does, and allows you to make purchases up to the amount deposited on the card.  The process by which you deposit cash onto the card depends on the terms of the card.  Some cards allow customers to deposit cash at the checkout register of certain big box stores.  Cards that were obtained at banks usually require you to add more money to the card at the issuing bank. Before purchasing a reloadable prepaid debit card, ask the issuer how to deposit cash onto the card.  If you find the process too difficult, consider another option for depositing cash. Reloadable prepaid debit cards are available online, at big box stores, and at many banks. Automated teller machines (ATMs) are machines that distribute and, in some cases, receive cash so that you can access your bank account even when the bank is closed.  Banks that are not linked to ATMs that allow deposits will not be able to accept cash deposits.  Find a bank with access to a large ATM network.  To find an online bank with a large ATM network, contact several banks and ask the bank representative, “Do you offer access to a large ATM network?”  If the answer is “No,” look for another way to deposit your cash. Most online banks do not accept cash deposits via ATM. Cash deposited through an ATM might be put on hold for several days. While many banks – both traditional and online – allow you to deposit checks by mail, you should never send cash by mail.  Most banks disallow this, but even if you encounter a bank that does, do not deposit money in this manner.  The risk of your money getting lost is too great.  Convert your money to a money order instead.

TL;DR in English: Put cash on a reloadable prepaid debit card. Deposit cash through an ATM. Do not send cash through the mail.

You can enter the commands for testing network and internet latency directly at the command line.  Click on Start, select Run. Type cmd, and press OK.  This will launch the command line window where you can simply type the test commands to execute them.  You can also search for cmd.exe in the windows search The Ping loopback test will test your computer’s connection to verify that there are no local hardware problems causing the network or internet latency issue.  Type “Ping 127.0.0.1 -n 20”. This IP address is the same for nearly all built in network connections, the “-n 20” extension will send 20 packets of data before terminating the test.  If you forget to type “-n 20” you can cancel the test by entering Ctrl+C. View the statistics. The time it took for the packet of data to travel locally should be less than 5ms and there should be zero packet loss. Now that you have verified that your local port is working, you can Ping remote servers to test the latency.  Again, normal latency varies by the type of connection from 5 - 40ms for cable modem, 10 - 70ms for DSL, 100 to 220ms for dial-up and 200 - 600 for cellular. The distance to the remote server also adds to latency, you can estimate an additional 1ms in latency for every 60 miles (100km) the data travels.  Type “Ping” followed by the IP address or site URL you wish to ping and hit enter.   You may want to start with the URL of your internet service provider and proceed to other sites you commonly access. View the report.  As the test pings the remote address, it will report back the results, the final number after the “time = “ is the time it took, in milliseconds, for the packet to travel to the remote site and back to your computer.  Note: the “-n 20” extension works with this command, as does the “Ctrl+C” should you forget to enter it. The traceroute test will show the path that data travels from your computer to the remote server and any delay in that path.  This can be helpful in determining the source of network or internet delays.  Type “tracert”...

TL;DR in English: Access the Command Line Prompt. Run Ping Loopback test. Run Ping to a remote server. Run Traceroute test.

Recognizing your symptoms early can help you get early treatment and slow progression of the disease. One of the earliest behavioral signs of Alzheimer’s is the progressive loss of short-term memory. If you find yourself forgetting where you left items or someone tells you that you are repeating yourself often, see your doctor. An early sign of Alzheimer’s is finding it progressively harder to converse with people, often due to forgetting common words like “car” and “pen.” You may know what you want to say, but be unable to find the word for it. People developing Alzheimer’s often struggle to finish tasks that used to be easy, like managing a budget. They may also become unable to navigate to a familiar place – even one they have known for a long time. Alzheimer’s patients may become unable to keep track of what day, month or season it is. If you find yourself being unsure where you are in time, see your doctor. Sometimes affected people start to put items in unusual or inappropriate places, such as repeatedly putting clean dishes in the refrigerator or stove for no reason. As the disease progresses, those with Alzheimer’s often become less comprehending of their cognitive problems. If you see these signs in a loved one, take them to the doctor. People may demonstrate consistent confusion, such as saying “I want to go home!” while they’re home, or asking to speak with a loved one who has been deceased for years. There may be a genetic aspect to Alzheimer’s, meaning you may be more likely to get it if your parent or sibling has it. Know your family’s health history; if there’s a history of Alzheimer’s, note at what age it began. Tell your doctor, and you can both be on the lookout for early signs.

The “crown” of the hat is the part that start getting smaller as it reaches the end of the beanie. To make the rows shorter, you have to “decrease” how many stitches are in each row. To do this, knitters use a K2tog. This means that you knit 2 stitches together into a single stitch, decreasing the amount of stitches in that row.  Instead of slipping your needle into the first stitch, start with the second stitch. Slide your needle through both loops, treating them as a single knit stitch. Wrap the yarn around and complete the knit stitch as usual. You've now decreased the number of stitches in that row by 1. This will create a dramatic decrease in the size of your hat’s “tube,” and is better for longer, slouchier hats than fitted hats. When you reach the stitch marker, transfer it and move on to your next row's pattern. You don’t want to decrease too sharply all at once, or your hat will end too abruptly. To create a gentler slope, you want to alternate your decreasing rows with knit rows. K2tog on odd-numbered rows and knit around on even-numbered rows. When you’ve completed your fifth row, you’re almost finished with your hat! Because of your decreases, you should only have 10 stitches left on your needles when you finish the fifth row of your beanie’s crown.

TL;DR in English: Understand how to K2tog. K2tog for an entire row. Knit all the way around your crown’s second row. Repeat this pattern for 3 more rows.

It's becoming more and more of a rat race out there. Students have to study more to succeed, workers have to work harder to climb the ladder, and the stakes are higher and higher. It's easy to get wrapped up in school and work, thinking we "have to" or "should," but that is so far from the truth. We all need time for fun or life will get us down in the dumps before we realize it. Make it a point to take a night or two off for yourself. Hang out with your friends and family. This will strengthen your connections with those around you, and help you feel happy and secure. It seems like everyone these days is doing some sort of balancing act, and most of the time it’s to their detriment. Instead of spreading yourself thin and pulling out your hair, limit what you take on. Say no when need to. Investing your time in just a few things will prove much more fruitful, make you feel productive, and keep you breathing calmly. It's okay to say no sometimes, even to favors that your friends ask. You cannot be three places at once and handle three people's problems. If you feel yourself being spread thin, take a cue from yourself and relax. It's all your body needs. Everyone goes through mood swings. If you know when you’re going to experience bad moods or feel vulnerable, you can counteract it. For some, it’s hormonal. For others, it’s an old anniversary, birthdays, or death. Accept that you’ll feel vulnerable during this time and surround yourself with others, make plans, and keep your mind off of it until it passes. Being aware of your situation is the best thing you can do for yourself. Knowing how you feel when you feel it will make any emotion easier to handle and deal with as you please. It'll be easier to talk about with others, it'll be easier to make sense of, and it'll then be easier for it to go away.

Run the apple under clean water, turning it as necessary to remove any dirt and debris. Use either a knife or vegetable peeler to gently peel the skin off the apple. Try to remove only a thin layer of skin and keep most of the apple intact.  It's easier to use a vegetable peeler, as you get more control and can trim less flesh off the apple. If you use a knife, point it away from your body as you peel the apple. Get a clean cutting board and place it on a flat surface. Set the apple with the stem-side up on the board. Make a series of vertical slices along the side of the apple, cutting just against the core. This will give you four pieces that should be about the same size. Once you've cut the apple into four pieces, place each piece on the cutting board with the flat side down. Use a knife to cut across each apple, slicing the chunks into thin slices. Aim for two to three slices per chunk.

TL;DR in English: Wash your apple. Remove the skin with a pairing knife or vegetable peeler. Place your apple on a cutting board. Cut the apple into four pieces. Cut your apple into thin slices.

You should connect one red clip to the red post on the dead battery first.  Next you should connect the other red clip to the red post of the good battery. Connect one black clip to the black post on the good battery.  Your cables are live now, so be careful not to touch the last metal clip to yourself or any part of your car besides unpainted metal under the hood. This piece of metal is referred to as a ground and completes the circuit. When the circuit is completed it can cause an arc of electricity (sparking). This could damage your battery and is why you should ground the circuit away from your battery and NOT on the black battery terminal of the dead battery. This will start the process of charging your battery. You want to have enough power to turn the engine over when you hit the key.  One good way to see if you have battery power is to turn on an interior light.  If it burns normally then you might be able to start your car.  If the light is dim or doesn't come on you should wait a little longer. Sometimes you can start your car immediately after hooking up the jumper cables.  If it doesn't start the first time you can try two or three times, but if it still doesn't start you will need to wait and allow the battery time to charge.

Dogs can contract two forms of mange — sarcoptic mange and demodectic mange. Though both can be serious, the two forms of the disease differ somewhat in the symptoms they present (see Part 1) and have different causes. Sarcoptic mange is an infection by a specific kind of mite that is passed along from other infected animals. Demodectic mange is caused by a different kind of mite that is normally present in a dog's skin. While most dogs live in harmony with these mites, sometimes the mites can proliferate and cause hair loss and irritation.   Although both sarcoptic and generalized demodectic mange can lead to itching, it's important to distinguish the two — the mites that cause sarcoptic mange lead to immediate, severe itching, while the mites that cause demodectic mange cause patches of irritated skin to develop, which then may become itchy.  While sarcoptic mange itself can't kill a dog, the dog's health can deteriorate quickly if it gets a serious infection or stops eating or sleeping, so, in this case, immediate veterinary care may be needed. This should be obvious — a dog with a bad case of sarcoptic mange will appear profoundly unhealthy. Sarcoptic mange is sometimes referred to as scabies.  Demodectic mange may also be called Demodex. Localized demodectic mange is characterized by hair loss in one or two spots. If unresolved (possibly because of suppressed immunity, allergies, or endocrine issues), the condition may spread, resulting in a proliferation of bald patches that may become irritated and infected, which lead to itching and scabbing.  Localized demodectic mange is most common in puppies. In about 90% of cases, localized demodectic mange disappears on its own without treatment in a month or two. However, in a fraction of cases, the disease may develop into the more serious generalized demodectic mange. While dogs do not inherit demodectic mange per se, is thought that those that develop generalized demodectic mange usually inherit their weakness to the disease genetically. Pododermatitis is a...

It's completely normal and natural for kids of all ages to ask about babies. It helps to be prepared for the conversation, but even if you aren't, try to stay calm and don't jump to conclusions. Take a deep breath and talk to them like you would about any other topic. Your first reaction might be to laugh or redirect the conversation. However, if you dismiss them, they'll only become more curious about the topic. It's best to address the question when they ask. If you're a babysitter or nanny, the children who you watch might ask you about babies or sex at some point. Stay calm and use your best judgement to approach the situation. If it's a body question, answer it scientifically. If it's a question that you think you can't or shouldn't answer, let them know that they can ask their parents.  For example, you could say something like, “Let's ask your mom when she gets home, maybe she'll know!” Chances are, they'll forget about it, and you can let their parents know that the child was curious about babies or sex. If they continue to push your limits and ask more personal questions, stay calm and treat it like you would if they were misbehaving in any other way. Remind them that they shouldn't use dirty words if they're swearing, and tell them that if they continue to do so, you'll have to call their parents. While kids are naturally inquisitive, there might be a reason that they're asking this particular question. For example, their teacher at school might be pregnant, or they might have seen a baby on television or in public. If you're pregnant, an older child might become curious about their new sibling. It's very common for children to start asking about babies and pregnancy when they know there's a baby on the way. Your child might be asking you about babies to confirm what they already know. If you've never talked about it before, try saying something like “That's a good question! Where do you think babies come from?” to see what they know about the topic.  If you've discussed babies and pregnancy before,...

TL;DR in English: Stay calm and relaxed when the topic comes up. Defer to the child's parents if someone else's child asks you about babies. Consider why your child might be curious about babies. Ask them where they think babies might come from.

If you want to make gratitude a habit, then you should start keeping a gratitude journal to write down all of the things you’re thankful for each week. Just pick a day to do it each week, such as a Sunday afternoon, and make a list of at least 10-20 things that you’re thankful for that week. You may feel like you don’t have too much to be grateful for, but once you make an effort to really think about it, you’ll see that there’s plenty in your life to be happy about.  If you read through your journal just once a month, you’ll be able to see how much you really have to be grateful for. You can even keep your list taped above your computer to make yourself feel fulfilled throughout your work day. Yoga is all about the practice of gratitude, and about offering your mind and body in a gesture of gratitude and contentment. If you want to make gratitude a part of your lifestyle, then make sure you go to at least 2-3 yoga classes a week and say “Namaste” to show how grateful you are for every breath you take. You can also do yoga at home instead if you feel more comfortable making your offerings that way.  Practicing yoga means putting away your judgment and being thankful for the healthy body you have been given. It means offering it all up to the world, greeting the sun, and feeling good about everything you have been given. Yoga is about doing things at your own pace, and not coveting what skills or experience your neighbor has. This can help you develop a more grateful mindset about the rest of the world, too. Volunteering is another way that you can show how grateful you are for all of the advantages you have in this life. No matter how busy you are, you can try to carve out a few hours each month to help tutor at your local library, work at a soup kitchen, help out at your local school, or clean up a park in your community. Making the effort to build a community and to focus on someone other than yourself is one of the best ways that you can truly show gratitude. Being around people who have so much less than...

TL;DR in English: Keep a gratitude journal. Do yoga. Volunteer. Be grateful on social media. Complain as little as possible. Be more affectionate. Stop gossiping. Be present.

To be sure you aren't ingesting any dirt or pesticides, always wash produce before you prepare it. If the lettuce is marked “ready-to-eat,” the FDA has certified that it is clean and can be eaten as it is, but some experts recommend washing it again when you get home.  Remove the outer layers of leaves, until you get to a layer where you can't see any visible dirt or wilted edges. Grasp the entire head of lettuce and run it under running water. Gently scrub the exterior of the lettuce with your fingers to remove any traces of dirt or pesticides. Do not soak your lettuce in a sink filled with water – this will not remove the dirt. The stalk of the lettuce tends to be tough and can have a bitter taste. Remove the pale, hard tip of the head and discard it. Also discard any of the outer leaves that appear wilted or discolored. Put the lettuce on a clean chopping board and use a sharp kitchen knife to cut the head in half, through the root (or stalk). A classic chef's knife with an 8 to 10 inch (20 – 25 cm) blade is recommended for chopping lettuce and most other vegetables. Set each half of the lettuce, cut side down, on the cutting board. Slice each half in half, through the root (stalk). Place the lettuce quarter-section on the cutting board with the outer leaves against the board and the cut edges facing up.  Position the knife at the far, right edge of the lettuce and begin cutting with a back and forth sawing motion until you reach the cutting board. Move over approximately 1/4-inch and begin sawing again. The last piece of the head segment may be too small to slice safely. Reposition the small piece on the cutting board so that it lays flat, and finish slicing. Move onto the other half of the lettuce if a lot of shredded lettuce is desired. Slice only what you will need for your meal, and return the remaining uncut portions of lettuce to the refrigerator. Shredded lettuce will brown and wilt more quickly than lettuce that is left intact.

TL;DR in English: Wash the lettuce. Remove the tip of the lettuce head. Cut the head of lettuce in half. Cut the head into quarters. Shred the quarter head into thin slices. Shred another quarter, if needed.

You can use natural heat to dry rose petals. This method can take slightly longer than others, but may require less work on your part.  To preserve petals, you need to set them on a surface that allows air circulation. You can use a wire cookie rack or a window screen, for example.  Set the petals across the surface, making sure they're not touching each other. Then, find a warm and dark place to set the petals aside. Choose a place out of reach of children and animals. You do not want the petals to get disturbed during the drying process.  It will take 10 to 20 days for the petals to dry completely. If you're drying more petals, it will take longer. If you don't mind investing some extra time, you can press flowers between a book and set aside for a few weeks. To start, place the petals between two pieces of absorbent paper. Make sure they are not touching. Then, place the paper and petals between the pages of a heavy book. A phone book works well.  Place a brick or other heavy item on top of the book to weigh it down.  Once a week, replace the absorbent papers. It will take the petals a few weeks to completely dry. A quality dehydrator, while expensive, is one of the best means to preserve petals without harming their appearance. You can purchase a dehydrator online or at a local craft shop. Set the dehydrator to its lowest heat setting and then place the petals inside. Allow the dehydrator to dry them and then remove. Professional freeze-drying can be expensive. However, the rose's color and scent will remain preserved if you use this method. If the rose petals are particularly important to you, you may want to put your money towards professional freeze drying.

Perhaps the best way to avoid late fees is to pay your credit card bill as soon as you receive it. This way, you do not need to worry about the due date or setting any reminders. Your statement generally allows about three to four weeks before the payment is due. If you write your check and send it in as soon as you get the monthly bill, you will be certain to avoid any late fees.  Some people might choose to post-date the check if they write it immediately. Post-dating means putting the due date on the check, rather than the date that you are writing it. For example, if your bill arrives on April 2, and payment is due on April 25, you could write a payment check on April 2 but date it April 25. Your intent here is that your check will not be cashed until the written date of April 25.  However, you must be very careful if you choose to post-date a check. In addition to dating the check ahead, you must provide written notice that you intend the check to remain uncashed until the date written. Without that notice, the bank could go ahead and deposit your check when it arrives. If you do not have sufficient funds in your account at that time, you could face penalties (including criminal charges) for writing a bad check. If you are setting reminders for yourself, give yourself a few extra days before the actual due date. You must allow time for the check to travel by mail and to be received by the company. You cannot rely on the postmark date to show that you have mailed your payment on time. The applicable date is when your payment actually gets received. You can usually buy yourself some extra time in the month if you pay your bill electronically. Most credit card companies now send their bills electronically and allow you to manage your account online. With a password, you can see your bill, set the payment amount, and make the payment. Such sites generally have you link to your bank account using the bank’s routing number. Electronic payments like this occur almost right away. Find out if your credit card...

TL;DR in English: Pay right away. Plan ahead. Pay electronically. Set up automatic payments.

While you're in the store, find a tester container of makeup. Try out a spot of makeup on your jawline or hand. If you can't test the makeup on your skin, hold the jar next to your hand to see if the shades match. You can buy mineral makeup in just about any pharmacy, grocery store, or high-end department store. Enhancer is mineral concealer. While you can conceal blemishes and discolorations with foundation and a concealing brush, stubborn zits or dark circles might require a dab of enhancer. Buy green enhancer to neutralize the reddening caused by acne, eczema, or rosacea. Purchase yellow enhancer to neutralize the purple appearance of dark under-eye circles. This is also known as finishing powder. In the Bare Minerals line, it's called Mineral Veil. After you've concealed your imperfections and applied your foundation, the setting powder will give your skin an even complexion and a bit of a shimmer. Mineral makeup won't look right if you apply it with a cloth or foam puff. For a successful application, you'll need three brushes. The wide-bristle Kabuki brush gets the foundation on your face in an even layer. You'll also need a thinner concealer brush to work the makeup into acne blemishes or discolorations. Finally, you'll need the buffer brush to apply the finishing powder and blend your makeup. Starter kits contain the makeup and the brushes you'll need to apply it. Some brands might still throw in an instructional DVD to help you get started. You might be able to find these kits in your local pharmacy, but you're more likely to find them at high-end department stores.

A good way to hide condoms is to place them in uninteresting containers. This is a relatively safe way to store condoms as well, as they're less susceptible to damage.  An Altoids tin, toiletries bag, an unused jewelry box, or a coin purse are all good places to hide condoms.  One downside to this method is that if someone wants a mint or some change, they may find the condoms. It might be a good idea to keep the container in a discreet place as well. Condoms can also be hidden in clothing. Hide a condom in a sock, the sleeve or pocket of a coat you do not usually use, or a winter hat. Just make sure the item of clothing is stored in a safe place where it will not get moved around without your knowledge. Make sure clothing is not stored at extremely hot or extremely cold temperatures. You can purchase discreet cases in which to covertly store condoms. These cases are often disguised as mint tins or jewelry cases. They also may look like simple, non decorative containers. You can buy condom cases online or at sex shops. If you have an old book you do not need, consider cutting a square shaped hole in the center of the pages. You can place a condom in here or several condoms. Just be careful where you leave the book. If you leave it out on a coffee table, for example, someone may open it. It's best to choose an uninteresting looking book and tuck it away in the back of the bookshelf.

TL;DR in English: Hide condoms in containers. Store condoms in clothes. Consider investing in a condom case. Hollow out a book.

Put your phone in a drawer or keep it in your bag so you won't be tempted to use it. Additionally, stay off any other distracting electronic devices unless you need them to study. A grumbling stomach is distracting, so have yogurt, oatmeal, or fruit before you get to work. It's also a good idea to keep a granola bar, nuts, or trail mix handy in case you get hungry. Healthy snacks that are packed with protein and complex carbs give you the fuel you need to stay focused. Fruit, nuts, and whole grains are good choices. Avoid sweets and junk food, which will cause your blood sugar to spike and dip. Find a distraction-free spot, like a low-traffic part of your home or the library. Try to use that location (or a few regular locations) whenever you study. If you study in the same place over and over again, you'll unconsciously sense it's time to get to work when you arrive at that location.  Additionally, study at a desk or table with enough room to spread out your study materials. Avoid studying in bed, since getting too comfortable can distract you from your studies. Keep your area neat, clean and organized, which can help you keep a clear mind. A messy space will make your mind feel cluttered, as well. Try to study in an area that has natural light, which can help energize your mind. If you have multiple assignments or subjects to study, work on 1 for an hour, then switch gears. Even if you're studying for a test and can't switch subjects, try to focus on 1 unit or topic for about an hour at a time.  For example, if you're studying for a history test on World War II, review your notes on the events leading up to the war. Take a break to have a snack or stretch, then work on the European front. You could also review textbook chapter outlines for an hour, then switch to studying flashcards. Rather than try to force yourself to concentrate on 1 thing, you'll boost your efficiency and remember more if you mix up your tasks. If you get your toughest or most boring work out of the way, it'll be easier to study for a...

TL;DR in English: Keep your phone out of sight and out of mind. Eat a healthy snack before you study. Choose a designated spot for studying. Mix up tasks and topics to prevent boredom. Study difficult subjects first to get them out of the way. Play music while you study if it helps you concentrate.

There are two kinds of car seats available for infants: infant car seats and convertible car seats. Infant car seats only last for the infant stage, but are usually considered safer for babies, especially smaller babies. Convertible car seats will last for a few years, accommodating the child as she grows from infant to toddler to preschooler.  An infant seat is only for babies, and will always be rear-facing in the car. It usually has a base that is strapped into the back seat of a car, and a snap-in seat that can be removed and carried. These seats are recommended for weights up to 22 or 40 pounds, depending on the model. The snap-in seat can be more convenient, as it can be removed from the car without disturbing the infant. A convertible seat will be rear-facing for at least the first year of the baby’s life (most safety organizations and manufacturers now recommend two years for rear-facing seating), and then the seat will “convert” into a seat for a toddler. These seats can accommodate up to 40 or 50 pounds, depending on the model. Pay attention first and foremost to a car seat’s weight and height limits, not to the age of your child. You will need to have a car seat to transport the baby in just about any moving vehicle once it is born. If you are taking the baby home from the hospital, the nurse who discharges you will likely need to confirm that you have a properly installed car seat in your car. If you are going home in a taxi, you will still need a car seat for your baby to safely and legally ride in a car. If you are using an infant car seat that you will snap in and out of a base, think about how much you will be carrying this around. Also consider the weight of the baby; adding the car seat and the baby together may mean you’re toting around 30 pounds or more. Removable infant car seats also have handles to carry them; test out the handle to see how comfortable it is in your hand. If you are buying a car seat before the baby is born, you will not be able to complete this step. If you are buying...

Consider waiting until the kits mature. Loosely block entrances with repellent. Replace daily. Block permanently once the foxes have left.

The contribution margin is total sales less variable expenses.  Variable expenses are those costs that increase with each incremental sale.  Cost of goods sold, sales commissions and delivery expenses are examples of variable expenses.  Subtract these expenses from total sales to calculate the contribution margin.  For example, suppose Company ABC had $100,000 in total sales in December, 2015.  Variable expenses were: cost of goods sold - $30,000; sales commissions – 20,000; delivery expenses - $10,000. The contribution margin is $100,000−$30,000−$20,000−$10,000=$40,000{\displaystyle \$100,000-\$30,000-\$20,000-\$10,000=\$40,000}. Operating income is the total sales less all operating expenses except interest and taxes.  If you have already deducted your variable expenses from total sales, now subtract fixed expenses to calculate the operating income.  Fixed expenses include advertising, insurance, rent, utilities and payroll wages.  Suppose Company ABC’s fixed expenses were: advertising - $2,000; insurance - $5,000; rent - $3,000; utilities - $2,000; wages - $18,000. Total fixed expenses are $30,000. Operating income is total sales less variable and fixed expenses. For Company ABC, the total sales were $100,000.  The variable expenses are $60,000 and fixed costs are $30,000. Operating income = $100,000−$60,000−$30,000=$10,000{\displaystyle \$100,000-\$60,000-\$30,000=\$10,000}. Divide the contribution margin by the operating income.  Company ABC’s contribution margin is $40,000.  Its operating income is $10,000..  Operating leverage = contribution margin / operating income. $40,000/$10,000=4{\displaystyle \$40,000/\$10,000=4} Company ABC’s operating leverage is 4.

TL;DR in English: Calculate contribution margin. Calculate operating income. Calculate operating leverage.

In our Hello World program, we printed out a string for the user to see, but the interactive part of programs is when the user gets to enter input into the program. We will now extend our program to prompt the user for his or her name and then greet the user by his or her name. In Java, we have some built in libraries that we have access to, but we have to import them. One of these libraries is java.util, which contains the Scanner object that we need to get user input. In order to import the Scanner class, we add the following line to the beginning of our code.   import java.util.Scanner;    This tells our program that we want to use the Scanner object which exists in the package java.util. If we wanted to have access to every object in the java.util package, we simply write import java.util.*; at the beginning of our code. Java is an object-oriented programming language, so it represents concepts using objects. The Scanner object is an example of an object that has fields and methods. In order to use the Scanner class, we have to create a new Scanner object that we can populate the fields of and use the methods of. To do this, we write:   Scanner userInputScanner = new Scanner(System.in);     userInputScanner is the name of the Scanner object that we just instantiated. Note that the name is written in camel case; this is the convention for naming variables in Java. We use the new operator to create a new instance of an object. So, in this instance, we created a new instance of the Scanner object by writing new Scanner(System.in). The Scanner object takes in a parameter that tells the object what to scan. In this case, we put in System.in as a parameter. System.in tells the program to scan the input from the system, which is the input that the user will type into the program. We have to prompt the user for an input so that the user knows when to type something into the console. This can be accomplished with a System.out.print or a System.out.println.   System.out.print("What's your name? "); The Scanner will...

TL;DR in English: We will now extend our Hello World program to take input from the user. Import the Scanner class. Inside our main method, instantiate a new instance of the Scanner object. Prompt the user for an input. Ask the Scanner object to take in the next line that the user types in and store that in a variable. Print out a greeting to the user. Put it all together and save. Compile and run.

If a fox is raising a family in your yard, consider allowing it to stay until the kits are old enough to travel. They should be able to leave safely at nine weeks old, when they start hunting with their parents. This usually happens in late spring or early summer. The first time you see kits out of the den, they're probably around four or five weeks old. Give them another month before you drive them out. Most dens are in enclosed spaces, such as crawlspaces or rock shelters. Soak rags or straw in commercial fox repellent, and place them in the path of the entrance. Pile it high without blocking the fox's access. If there are foxes living in the den, they should move the repellent out of the way frequently. Check daily and replace with fresh repellent if necessary. If a batch of repellent is still blocking the entrances after two days, the foxes have probably moved on. Block the entrance with a more substantial barrier, such as bricks or cinder blocks.

You’ll want to make sure your diet contains all the vitamins and minerals your body requires. Include at least five portions of fruits and vegetables in your diet every day to keep your body, including your kidneys, healthy.  Fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants, fiber, and assorted vitamins and minerals, all of which are essential elements for the correct functioning of your body. Consider swapping out one of your normal snack foods (e.g., a bag of chips) for a piece of fresh fruit or cutting a banana over your cereal every morning to easily increase the amount of fruit you eat in a normal day.  Only rely on fruit and vegetable juices for 1 of your 5 daily portions. The other 4 portions need to come from solid fruits and vegetables to get the needed health benefits. Eating too much salt impedes the correct functioning of the kidneys and can cause kidney stones. Eating too much sugar or saturated fats is also bad for your overall health and can lead to unhealthy weight gain, which is bad for your kidneys.  Swap out salty or processed snacks with fruits and vegetables or other healthy alternatives like unsalted nuts. Avoid fried and processed foods wherever possible. If you opt for low-fat foods, check to make sure they don’t have a lot of added sugar. A good trick when you are preparing food is to replace half the salt that you would usually use with other spices. Healthy fats and oils, like polyunsaturated fat and fish oil, contain vital nutrients that our bodies need and can help prevent disease. Add sources of healthy fats and oils to your diet to maximize the health benefits of the foods you eat. Oily fish, olive oil, dried fruits, and avocados are excellent sources of healthy fats, which are necessary to line and protect our vital organs. Kale and spinach are both green vegetables packed with vitamins A, C, and K, along with other helpful nutrients like potassium and magnesium. Eating more of these leafy greens can give you all sorts of benefits that help keep your kidneys, and your whole body,...

TL;DR in English: Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Cut back on foods high in salt, sugar, or saturated fats. Eat more healthy fats and oils as part of a balanced diet. Incorporate more kale and spinach into your diet. Limit your portion sizes to avoid overeating.

Opt for compact fluorescent (CFL) or light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs. These options use an average of 75 percent less electricity (usually sourced from coal). They also last much longer (5 to 20 years), saving you lots of money in the long run. CFLs and LEDs are brighter than incandescent bulbs. If you’re sensitive to bright lights, look into fitting your lamps with darker lamp shades. For ceiling fixtures, consider installing LED-compatible dimmers. Each time you turn a light on, you use up energy. Unfortunately, many people have a habit of turning on lights they don't actually need. By reducing your use of lighting, you will not only help conserve energy, but also save on electricity bills.  Keep the lights off in rooms that you are not currently using. On sunny days, open the curtains for some free solar lighting. Consider switching to timers or motion sensors if you need lights on in unused areas for security or safety reasons. This is great for garden pathways. Use dimmers and less lighting later at night to help your body get ready for sleep. Switch to smaller, energy-efficient lights. If you’re reading or sewing, use a desk lamp rather than a ceiling lamp. Even if your coffee maker or computer is switched off, it’s still consuming energy as long as it is still plugged into the wall. Unplug these devices when not in use. If you have multiple electronics in, consider using a power strip. This way, you can simply turn the strip off to cut the power. Central air often uses coal-based electricity. Central heating often uses oil or natural gas. Adjusting the temperature just one or two degrees can help to conserve resources. To maximize your comfort, dress warmly and use thick blankets during colder weather. When it’s hot outside, close the blinds on east-facing windows in the morning and west-facing windows in the afternoon. Insulate your home with weather stripping, caulk, and eco-friendly insulation. This will prevent cold winter air and hot summer air from making your home uncomfortable. Most clothes...

TL;DR in English: Use energy-efficient light bulbs. Reduce lighting use. Unplug small appliances and electronics. Turn down the heat and air conditioner. Ditch the clothes dryer. Use cooler water. Power up with renewables.

There are many stores, local and chain, who buy products from the public at a reduced rate and then resell them in their stores. Sort through your home to find things you no longer need, want, or use and make a visit to these stores in your area.  If you consider yourself quite the avid reader with a library to match, consider sorting through your archives to find old books you no longer want. Books in good condition can be bought for several dollars apiece at used-bookstores. Clothing is something everybody has, and often something we have too much of. If your wardrobe is overflowing with clothes, take a pass through and find the things that you can’t fit or aren’t in style anymore. You will get the best price for clothing that doesn’t have holes, stains, or wear-and-tear. If your library is full of music rather than books, consider selling some of your CDs. CDs with their cases intact and without scratches or blemish can be sold for a few dollars each. Find a local music or record store in your area and see if they buy used CDs. If gaming is your thing, try sorting through all your old video games. Many video game stores will take your used games if they are brought without any scratches or blemishes in the original case. Although you may only get a fraction of the price you originally bought the games for, making a few dollars on something you no longer use is better than nothing. Try taking miscellaneous things to a local pawnshop. This allows you to resell anything from a blender you never used to your old motorcycle jacket. If you would rather be responsible for selling what you own instead of taking it to a store, consider having a garage sale or advertising your items online. Although these involve much more planning than simply making a drop-off at your favorite secondhand store, you can make much more money by doing the work yourself.  Throw your own yard or garage sale. At most, you can expect a brand-new item to sell for 50% of its original price, but you will be making money back on something...
