Don't use address abbreviations that are unapproved by your country's mailing service. Use the correct zip code for your intended area. Re-read your addresses to make sure you've written the right one down. Write your address on the appropriately-sized box for your package.

Wake up your significant other and tell them you have a surprise for them. Then take them to their favorite brunch spot and treat them to some good food, and maybe a mimosa or two (if they're old enough). Choose a park with some beautiful foliage or gardens in it. Stop and sit on a bench along the way and tell your significant other how happy you are to be spending their birthday with them. Rent ice skates at a local ice skating rink if you don't already have some. If your significant other doesn't know how to ice skate, help them onto the rink and let them hold onto you for support. You'll both be feeling the romance while you're holding hands and skating around the rink. Take lots of photos together with the animals and buy your significant other a small birthday present at the zoo gift shop. If there's no zoo near you, go to an aquarium instead. Go swimming or rent paddle boards together. Hold hands and walk up and down the beach, collecting seashells along the way. You can keep them as a nice birthday memento for your significant other. Research local wineries in your area and schedule a tasting for two. Keep in mind that there will likely be tasting fees, so include that in your budget for the day. Be the designated driver and let your significant other enjoy most of the wine. If you live close to a city you don't know that well, rent bikes there and ride around to do some sightseeing. You can also ride bikes through the park. Stop somewhere along the way and treat them to an ice cream for their birthday. If there's a nearby landmark or attraction that they're constantly talking about seeing, surprise them and drive there for the day. If it's a short drive, you could leave it as a surprise until you get there. For example, if your significant other has always wanted to visit a particular city that's not too far away, drive there and spend the day exploring. Surprise your significant other by taking them zip lining or whitewater rafting. If they're really daring, take them skydiving or bungy jumping.

TL;DR in English: Go out to brunch to kick off the day. Go for a romantic stroll through the park if it's nice outside. Go ice skating if you're celebrating during the winter. Buy two tickets to the zoo if your significant other loves animals. Lounge at the beach if you live near the ocean or a lake. Go wine tasting for a more upscale birthday outing. Rent bicycles and go exploring together. Take a day trip to somewhere your significant other's always wanted to go. Go do something adventurous together.

If you want people to give you money via PayPal, they will need your e-mail address. Make sure, when requesting to receive money via PayPal, you give people the e-mail address associated with your account and not a different address. You can send requests for money through PayPal by logging into your account. Click "Tools", then "Request Money." Enter the amount of money you wish to receive and the e-mail or phone number of the person you're requesting it from. Then click, "Request Money." This is a good tool if you need to send someone a gentle reminder they owe you money. For example, if a friend borrowed money from you for something, you can send them a reminder of the amount via PayPal. If you do any kind of freelance work, you can easily invoice your hours using PayPal. After hitting the "Request Money" tab, you can select "Invoice" from the menu along the top of the page. You then fill out a form where you provide details of the services you provided, your hours, your rates, and the total amount owed. If you sell things online, on sites like eBay, most sites will allow you to link your account to your PayPal. This way, when customers make purchases, their money will automatically be directed to your PayPal account. Every site has a different procedure for linking your PayPal account, but you usually just need to enter the e-mail associated with your PayPal and possibly some personal information. If you use PayPal as an online merchant or as a way to invoice an employer, a fee of 2.9% + $0.30 will be deducted from your final payment. To get around this fee, calculate it into your price or invoice by multiplying your desired price by 0.029, then adding $0.30.  If you’re transferring money between friends and family with a linked credit card, you’ll be charged the same fee. If you’re using a linked bank account, you won’t be charged a fee. For a full, detailed list of fees in all countries and for different kinds of companies, visit PayPal’s fee page here: https://www.paypal.com/en/webapps/mpp/paypal-fees

Most mailing services approve street designator (like ST for street), secondary street indicators (like APT for apartment), directional indicators (like N for North), or state and countries (like CA for California or UK for the United Kingdom). Do not abbreviate city names. Spell it out completely to prevent confusion (e.g. Los Angeles, not LA). Including the wrong zip code can delay your package even worse than writing no zip code. In some cases, your package may even end up lost. Look up the zip code before you write it to make sure you add the right one. Write your address slowly, as writing quickly can increase the probability of mistakes. Compare your written addresses to the correct delivery and return address. If you notice any mistakes, place a white label over the addresses and write them again. Even if you write the right address, choosing the wrong box can affect your packaging and shipping costs. If you're not sure which package is right for your items, ask a postal service employee.

If you feel dizzy, sweaty, shaky, or weak, check your blood sugar. If you’re at 70 mg/dl or lower, you may need to eat or drink something with a high sugar content to bring it up. After eating something, wait 15 minutes, then check your blood sugar again. If you’re still below 100 mg/dl, consume something else sugary. Try either taking 3-4 glucose tablets or drinking or eating one of the following to bring your blood sugar back up when it’s low:   1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of apple juice or soda ½ a banana 1 apple 4-5 saltine crackers, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of raisins 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey Candies (e.g. lifesavers, skittles, gummy bears, or starbursts) When you're dehydrated, your blood doesn't have as much liquid to work with, which can throw your blood sugar off balance. Make sure you're getting 10 to 15 cups (2.4 to 3.5 L) of water each day to replenish what you lose. Carbohydrates help keep your blood sugar levels high enough, and they provide your body with energy. However, too many carbs can significantly elevate your blood sugar and also cause weight gain, so try to keep careful track of how many carbohydrates you eat.  First, talk to your doctor or nutritionist about how many carbohydrates you need in a day. Then, use that information to portion out your carbohydrates throughout the day. In general, 15 grams (0.53 oz) of carbohydrates counts as one serving. Generally, men need 4 to 5 servings per meal, or 12-15 servings each day, while women need 3 to 4 servings per meal, or 9-12 servings each day. Remember that this increases or decreases depending on the amount of energy you’re exerting. Sitting in the office requires fewer servings, while climbing a mountain may require many more. Remember to adjust accordingly, as each day is different. When counting carbohydrates, pay careful attention to labels. They will tell you how many carbs are in a certain food, so you don't have to guess. If the food doesn't have a label, look it up on the internet or in a nutrition app to find out. For reference, one...

TL;DR in English: Eat or drink sugary foods if you're at 70 mg/dl or below. Drink 10 to 15 cups (2.4 to 3.5 L) of water a day to stabilize blood sugar. Talk to your doctor about your carbohydrate needs. Read food labels to determine the carbohydrate level. Measure out food to determine servings. Choose whole grains over refined grains to help control your blood sugar. Balance your meals with protein and vegetables.

Once you find your premise, your setting, and characters, create a rough outline of the story. Follow a story structure such as the one suggested in Freytag’s pyramid to create your outline, or read Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Philosophy of Composition” for guidance on how to structure your story. The key elements may include:  Exposition: Set the scene and introduce the characters. Inciting incident: Have something happen in the story to start the action. Rising action: Continue the story, building excitement and suspense. Climax: Include a moment that holds the most tension in the story. Falling action: These are events that occur after the climax. Resolution: Here, the character solves the main problem. Denouement: This is the ending in which the characters resolve any remaining questions. The most effective scary stories use description to show the reader how the characters feel in a story. This helps the reader feel like he is stepping into the main character’s shoes and identifying with this character. In contrast, when you tell the reader exactly how to feel by describing a scene flatly and obviously, the reader will feel less connected to the story.  For example, consider these two ways of describing a scene:  ”I was too scared to open my eyes, even though I heard footsteps coming closer.” “I wrapped the blankets tighter around me and let out a sick whimper. My chest was tight, my stomach rotten. I would not look. No matter how close those shuffling footsteps came, I would not look. I would not, I would…not…”    The second example gives the reader more of an insight into the character’s physical feelings. Allow the story to get more suspenseful as it goes on. For an effective suspenseful story, you need the reader to feel empathy and concern for the characters, and you need impending danger and escalating tension.   Hint at the story’s direction and possible climax by providing small clues or details. You might briefly mention a label on a bottle that will later come in handy for the main character. There...

Fill your sink or a bucket with one part vinegar and three parts lukewarm water. Mix the solution thoroughly. Pad the bottom of your sink or bucket with a soft towel to prevent the crystal from getting damaged.  Vinegar will help remove cloudiness from crystal as well as add a beautiful shine.  You can also substitute ammonia for vinegar. Allow the crystal to soak for five to ten minutes. If your item is too big to fully submerge, you can fill it with the solution (e.g., a vase or bowl) or dampen a soft cloth or sponge in the solution and use it to wipe down the crystal (e.g., a lamp or figurine). Be sure to use a soft cloth or sponge so as not to scratch the crystal items. Gently rub your cloth or sponge on the surface of the crystal using a circular motion. Air drying will often leave water spots, so use a lint-free or microfiber cloth. You may want to wear gloves so you don’t get fingerprints on your clean crystal. Carefully pat the crystal dry, rather than rubbing it.

TL;DR in English: Create a solution of water and vinegar. Submerge your crystal in the solution. Wash your crystal carefully with a cloth. Dry your crystal.

Each meal should consist of 1 carbohydrate portion and 1 protein portion. The portions should match the size of your palm if you’re eating meat, or the size of your closed fist for bulkier foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Start the Atkins diet by going through Induction. During this period, you will eat no more than 20 grams of carbohydrates per day, and that total should contain 12 to 15 grams of carbohydrates from foundation vegetables. Continue into Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL). After the 2-week Induction period, gradually add carbohydrates to your daily total to find your carbohydrate level for weight loss (CLL). Start Pre-Maintenance after OWL. When you are within 10 pounds of your goal weight, continue adding carbohydrates to your daily total until your weight loss slows to a crawl. This will help you to determine your carbohydrate equilibrium that you can utilize in Lifetime Maintenance. Progress to Lifetime Maintenance. Eat the number of carbohydrates each day that you can safely consume without losing or gaining weight. You’ll have to drink at least a gallon of water per day on the Body for Life diet. That amount is the equivalent of 16 8-ounce glasses of water per day.  Body for Life does not have supplementation requirements.  Take 1 multivitamin and 1 fish oil capsule daily on Atkins. Your multivitamin should not contain extra iron because the extra iron could cause constipation. Consume more sodium on the Atkins diet. Low-carb diets may leach sodium and potassium from your kidneys. Therefore, you should consume 2 cups of broth per day on Atkins, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce or 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

TL;DR in English: Eat 6 meals per day on the Body for Life diet. Follow the 4 phases of the Atkins diet while eating 4 to 5 times per day. Drink twice as much water on Body for Life. Drink at least 8 8-ounce glasses of water per day on the Atkins diet. Add additional vitamins and minerals to your diet on Atkins.

Knowing what your goals are will help you keep your priorities straight during the conversation. Think about what you want from the conversation. Maybe you want your parents to let you get gages, or maybe you think lip piercings are cute. Having a goal will also help you gather talking points as you prepare.  Think about potential compromises, too: what if your parents won't let you get your septum pierced, but they'll say yes to double-pierced ears? Would you be satisfied by that? Ask yourself not just what you want but what you want to be during the conversation. Aim for a positive, kind, and understanding attitude. Without a plan to keep on track, your emotions can easily get the best of you and launch you into an argument. Take some time to write down the three or four most important things you want to say. Look over this list during the conversation to keep on-track. Remember: "I just want it!" is not a compelling point. Most likely, your parents will have questions. Even if they're accepting from the start, they may want to know who's giving you the piercing or what care is involved while the piercing heals. Having all necessary information will show them that you've thought about this and are responsible. Find a time when your parents are happy and comfortable to start the conversation. The week rent is due, for example, your parents will probably be stressed and less open-minded. You and your parents will both be in the best mindset if relaxed. While you can give your parents a letter or text asking for their permission, a conversation will be most convincing. If you can, have the conversation in-person.

and prepare a water bath for canning. Place a large stockpot full of water on the stove and place the jars in it so they're submerged. Turn the burner to high so the water comes to a boil and heat the jars for 10 minutes.  Turn off the burner and leave the hot water in the stockpot. You'll use this to process the jars of pickles. If you prefer to simply store the pickles in the refrigerator instead of canning them, refrigerate them in sterilized containers for up to 1 month. Rinse 3 pounds (1.4 kg) of pickling cucumbers and cut off the ends. Then peel an onion. Cut each cucumber and 1/2 of the onion into thin, even slices and place them in a colander. Set the colander in the sink. To make it easier to cut the cucumbers or onion, use a mandoline. Run cold water over the salted vegetables in the sink to remove the salt. Let the water drain while you line a baking sheet with paper towels. Spread the sliced vegetables on the paper towel-lined sheet. Carefully lift the hot jars out of the water bath and set them on your work surface. Remove the sheet of sliced cucumbers and onions from the refrigerator and fill the jars with the vegetables. Leave 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of space at the top of the jar. Leaving headspace at the top of the jar will prevent the pickles and syrup from escaping as the jars process. Set new seals on the jars and screw bands on until they're fingertip tight. Carefully lower the jars into the water bath that you set up earlier. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and then set a timer for 15 minutes. Boiling the jars for 15 minutes will force the air out of the jar and create a vacuum-seal so the pickles are preserved. Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature before you store them. For the best flavor, wait 1 to 2 days before opening a jar and eating them. For long-term storage, keep the unopened jars at room temperature for up to 1 year. Once you open a jar of pickles, store it in the refrigerator.

TL;DR in English: Sterilize 2 pint jars Slice the cucumbers and 1/2 of an onion into 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) pieces. Rinse the vegetables and lay them on a sheet.

Investing in the stock market involves risk, and this includes the risk of permanently losing money. Before investing, always ensure you have your basic financial needs taken care of in the event of a job loss or catastrophic event.  Make sure you have 3 to 6 months of your income readily available in a savings account. This ensures that if you quickly need money, you will not need to rely on selling your stocks. Even relatively "safe" stocks can fluctuate dramatically over time, and there is always a probability your stock could be below what you bought it for when you need cash. Ensure your insurance needs are met. Before allocating a portion of your monthly income to investing, make sure you own proper insurance on your assets, as well as on your health. Remember to never depend on investment money to cover any catastrophic event, as investments do fluctuate over time. For example, if your savings were invested in the stock market in 2008, and you also needed to spend 6 months off work due to an illness, you would have been forced to sell your stocks at a potential 50% loss due to the market crash at the time. By having proper savings and insurance, your basic needs are always covered regardless of stock market volatility. Depending on your investment needs, there are several different types of accounts you may want to consider opening. Each of these accounts represents a vehicle in which to hold your investments.  A taxable account refers to an account in which all investment income earned within the account is taxed in the year it was received. Therefore, if you received any interest or dividend payments, or if you sell the stock for a profit, you will need to pay the appropriate taxes. As well, money is available without penalty in these accounts, as opposed to investments in tax deferred accounts.    A traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) allows for tax-deductible contributions but limits how much you can contribute. An IRA doesn't allow you to withdraw funds until you reach retirement age...

TL;DR in English: Ensure investing is right for you. Choose the appropriate type of account. Implement dollar cost averaging. Explore compounding.

If you feel minor leg pain while playing a sport, working out at the gym or being active in general, then take a break and rest it for at least a few hours. Most cases of minor leg pain is muscle strain or cramping from over-exertion, so rest is a good remedy most of the time. If the pain quickly fades away, then return to your activity. If not, try some of the advice in the following steps.  Although some leg cramps and mild muscle strain can resolve within a few hours, you may have to rest for a few days before resuming athletic activities. Bed rest and complete inactivity is not considered helpful for most musculoskeletal injuries nowadays, so some light walking and movement for house chores is recommended. While you're resting your leg, try to elevate it in order to deter swelling from forming. Most injuries to the muscles, ligaments and bones of the leg involve inflammation, which collects (pools) in the lower leg and causes more discomfort and problems with walking. Therefore, elevate your painful leg with a footstool when you sit, or use extra pillows while you lie on the couch or in bed.  Elevating your leg sort of cancels out the effects of gravity and prevents water-like fluid from pooling in your lower leg and foot. Raising your injured leg above the level of your heart is ideal, although that's obviously difficult while sitting. Lying flat on your back with your leg elevated is probably the easiest and most comfortable position. Since most minor leg injuries involve strained or tight muscles, take the time to do some leg stretches after you've rested them for a short period of time. Stretching elongates muscle fibers, increases flexibility and promotes better circulation, all of which can alleviate minor pain or discomfort. Pinpointing where your leg pain is coming from will help you to choose the most effective stretch. All stretches should be held for 30 seconds and repeated three to five times daily until the pain fades away.  If your pain is coming from your hamstring muscle (directly below...

Practice before the challenge. Keep your cool. Go for it!

Have a well lit working area where you are away from distractions and have all equipment ready. You want to devote your entire attention to your flash cards. Some people enjoy having a television on in the background or have music playing. If this is you, feel free to enjoy your preferred auditory stimuli, just make sure that they don’t distract you from your task. This means that you should have your flash cards and textbook ready. Have a good pen, markers, highlighters, and whatever other writing implements you’d like to use. At this stage, you’ll also need to decide what medium you want to use to make your flash cards. Will you choose paper and pen or will you create digital flash cards? Ultimately, it is a matter of preference. Studies have shown that most students retain information better if they have to write out the materials. Yet, the convenience of having your flash cards on your phone may outweigh other concerns. Identify salient information in your notes and text book. Distill them down into their key parts so that you can transfer them to your notecards — in a physical or a digital form. You can do this by highlighting your notes or the textbook. If you cannot write in your textbook, write on a separate sheet of paper or create a separate file in a word processor on your computer. Eventually, you will develop a system of note-taking that will make flash cards easier to make. Some of the easiest ways of doing this are to highlight or underline key sections your teacher stresses. Some people use asterisks, dashes, or other symbols to set off important text from the rest of their notes.

TL;DR in English: Find a place to work. Collect your materials together. Highlight the most important information.

Have your timer ready and try out what strategy you think will work best for you. It's helpful to try these out on your own to make sure you can master it before making bets and doing the challenge in public.  Watch more videos of people completing the challenge. How much time is given to chewing/gumming? How long is it taking others to finish two crackers at a time? One? Three? All six? Take notes on what techniques you believe are most effective. If you get over-excited or nervous you may breathe in the crumbs in your rush to stuff the crackers in your mouth and you won't be able to finish in time. Also, avoid shoving the crackers in your mouth as you could jab the back of your throat or poke your gums with the edges of the crackers. Try to relax and believe you can do it. You've done the prep work and are ready now. Tell your friends you can do it, take a deep breath, set your timer and defy the Saltine Challenge!

Avoid answering your calls or texts. Answer your calls and texts tersely. Withhold affection. Act very cool and controlled. Lead him on. Use his needs to your advantage.

Handle mood swings. Know the signs of depression. Practice self-care. Find a support system.

The first step you will want to take is to actively ignore his phone calls and text messages for a period of time. Wait until he gets upset or agitated or demands to know why you stopped talking to him. When he asks, pretend you didn’t even realize you were ignoring him. Be apologetic, but sound kind of insincere about it, like, “Whoops. Sorry.” After you avoided his communication for a while, start answering him again, but give brief, non-committed answers and comments. He might text you “How are you feeling today baby?” You should respond with “Fine.” If he gets a sense that you aren’t really interested in him and don’t care about him, he will want you even more. If he wants to sleep with you, kiss you, etc., say, "Um, why? You're not my boyfriend." This will make him realize that he needs to make a real commitment to get you to do the things he enjoys doing with you. If the player is obvious about dating/sleeping with other girls, then act like you don't care at all. A lot of players enjoy the act of inspiring jealously in the women they are with from time to time. Don’t give him this satisfaction. Make plans with him from time to time, then back out or cancel. You may even want to avoid calling him or informing him that you won’t be making it. When he asks why you backed out or left him hanging, be vague. Don’t tell him anything specific and make it seem like you are trying to hide something- even when you aren’t. Say things like “Something came up” or “I had some personal stuff to take care of.” His desire to get to the bottom of it might drive him right into your arms. You’re player will likely get very, very confused. He won't understand why he’s not your number one priority anymore. Humans want what they can't have. By making yourself unavailable, he will want you more and will think about you more often.

To peel the tomatoes, use the following method:  Remove the stems from the tomatoes and give them a rinse. Use a sharp knife to cut an "x" at either end of each tomato. Put a large pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Blanch the tomatoes by dropping them in the boiling water and allowing them to cook for 30 seconds. Remove the tomatoes, allow them to cool, and peel off the skin at the "x." It should come right off. Taking care to preserve the juices, use a knife to slice out the core of the tomatoes. Chop the tomatoes and set them aside in a bowl with their juices. Bring them to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and allow the salsa to simmer. Taste to make sure the salsa has enough spices, and add more if necessary. Use a thermometer to make sure it reaches a temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82 degrees Celsius). This kills any enzymes or bacteria that may otherwise spoil your canned salsa.

TL;DR in English: Gather the ingredients. Prepare the tomatoes. Place all of the ingredients in a large steel pot. Cook the salsa.

Stretches that incorporate a bit more movement can help to develop the strength of your core.  This will help prevent lower back pain by stabilizing and otherwise protecting your spine. Further, strengthening your body generally will help keep your hips, knees, and torso in better alignment.  Stop doing any exercise immediately if you experience localized pain or tingling of any sort. While you will certainly feel your muscles working during strengthening exercises, stop if you feel any sudden or sharp discomfort. Lie on your stomach and tighten the muscles in one of your legs.  Raise the leg one or two inches from the floor and hold it there for a four count.  Return the leg to floor and allow the muscles to relax.  Raise the other leg in the same manner.  Raise each leg 20 times, and repeat the exercise two to three times per day.  Once you are easily able to do 20 legs lifts, incorporate more movement by extending your arms straight in front of you as though you are pretending to be a superhero. Each time you lift one of your legs, simultaneously lift the arm on the opposite side of your body a few inches off of the ground as well. Instead of pausing, maintain the motions fluidly, as though you are swimming. “Swim” for 60 seconds, rest for 10 seconds, and repeat the swim for as many sets as you can muster. Lie on your back. Bring your knees while keeping them together, so you’re your feet at side by side and flat on the floor. Tighten the muscles in your stomach and bottom and raise your hips from the floor until your neck, torso, and thighs make a straight line. Hold this position for 60 seconds, pause for 10 seconds, and repeat the hold two more times.  If you are unable to hold the bridge position for a minute, simple hold it for a count of four and lower your hips back to the floor.  Repeat the lift 20 times. Do bridge exercises multiple times throughout the course of the day. ” The pointer is another strengthening exercise borrowed from the yoga realm.  Kneel on your hands and knees, with your palms...

TL;DR in English: Do strengthening exercises. Do leg lifts. Hold yourself in bridge pose. Practice your “pointer.

The most commonly used classes of OTC pain medications include Acetaminophen (Tylenol), and a class of drugs called "NSAIDs." NSAIDs stand for "nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs," and include medications such as Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), and Naproxen sodium (Aleve). Aspirin is also technically an NSAID, although it more frequently used in the prevention of heart attacks and strokes than it is in easing chronic pain.  OTC pain medications are generally safe to take in the short-term (meaning for less than 10 days at a time), as long as you adhere to the dosing instructions on the bottle and do not exceed them. It is generally okay to have 500–1000 mg of Acetaminophen (Tylenol) every four to six hours as needed. However, if you consume moderate to heavy alcohol, your usage needs to be less and you should either temporarily reduce your consumption of alcohol, or speak to your doctor about a dosage that is safe for you. It is generally okay to have 400–800 mg of Ibuprofen (such as Advil) every four to six hours as needed. Note that the dosage for OTC drugs is smaller in children, and specific instructions will be present on the bottle. If you need to use OTC meds for more than 10 days to manage your pain, it is always advisable to book an appointment with your doctor to discuss the risks and benefits of doing so. Your doctor can also diagnose any underlying conditions (the root cause of your pain) at this time, and possibly advise different treatment options that may be more useful for you (depending, of course, upon what specifically is causing your pain). The greatest risk associated with excessive Acetaminophen (Tylenol) use is the possibility of liver toxicity. NSAIDs such as Advil should not be taken without first consulting a doctor if you have problems with stomach ulcers, or are on a blood thinning medication such as Warfarin or Coumadin (as NSAIDs can increase your risk of bleeding).  Another risk of overusing OTC drugs is when people inadvertently overdose by continuing with the maximum dosage of...

Love is not all about attraction, kissing, and sex. Love is both a physical and emotional connection with your partner.  Depending on your partner, there are many ways to show that you care deeply about someone. Ask your partner what makes him feel loved and cared for. What activities, actions, words, or gifts make him feel warm and fuzzy? The way you show love and the way your partner receives love may be different, so asking what makes him feel loved is the best way to know ensure you're expressing your love in a way he understands.  Give a compliment, or words of encouragement.  Express with words what you like, and love, about your partner.  Make him feel good about himself. Give a gift, or make a symbolic gesture of love.  Give flowers or chocolates. Make a favorite meal. Write a love letter.  Play or send a song.  Draw a picture that shows you care. Give an act of service. You’d be surprised how the little things — like fixing something that’s broken, or completing an task your partner doesn't want to do — can make your partner feel cared for.  Give your time and skills to your partner. It is crucial that your partner feels that you are interested, and listening, to her concerns, her passions and her dreams.  You can’t just be physically present, but emotionally distant, or emotionally engaged but without any desire for your partner.  Love means all of the above.  While you don’t need to be "present" all the time, it is important that you at least acknowledge your partner’s concerns, with words like, “I’m sorry you had a rough day.” Try setting aside 10 – 30 minutes a day to talk about each other's days. It could be at dinner or after getting into bed. It sounds so simple, but checking in is an important part of maintaining a connection, and making a routine can make it a habit. Don’t let yourself be distracted by other things when talking with your partner about something important.  Be mindful of how and when to give your significant other your full attention. There is no perfect timing for when to...

TL;DR in English: Express your love beyond physical intimacy. Be both physically and emotionally present with your partner. Say "I love you" when it feels right. Cultivate memories. Practice "love" every day.

It is natural to feel sad and out-of-sorts for a while when love fails. Don't expect yourself to be over your ex in a day or two. Be patient with yourself, and work through everything you are feeling about the breakup. The only way you will eventually be happy is if you give yourself time to completely move on.  Don’t immediately rush into another relationship or try find someone new to love. Make time to get over this first. Allow yourself time to process everything that you are feeling. It's okay to think about the love and why it failed. People may tell you to just get over it. Don’t let anyone else try to rush you into getting over your failed love. However, if it has been several months since your love failed, you may want to put more effort into moving on. At first you may not want to believe that this love has failed. Don’t get stuck pretending that nothing has changed and that your love is the same as it was. In order to move on and be happy you have to stop denying (to yourself and to others) that this love failed.  Don’t contact your ex and act as if things are still the same.  This will probably make your ex annoyed or angry and it will make it harder for you to move on and be happy. Put away reminders of your ex. For example, if the background on your phone is a picture of the two of you, then change it. Don’t lie to people if they ask you about the relationship. You don’t have to go into detail, but you should be honest with them. You might try saying, “We didn’t work out, but I’d rather not talk about it any further than that.” Then change the subject. Even though you may admit that your love has failed, you might think that if you change certain things about yourself or can convince your ex the love can work, you’ll get back together. This usually doesn’t work. Instead, accept that it’s over so that you can move on with the rest of your life and be happy.   Stop trying to think of ways to make your love work. Don’t try to make your ex jealous or do something dramatic to make them realize how...

TL;DR in English: Give yourself time. Move past denial. Accept that it's over. Forgive your ex.

Placing organic mulch around the base of your hydrangeas will protect the roots and the stems of the plant from harsh weather while keeping some moisture in the soil. The best mulch materials for this purpose include straw or fallen leaves. Purchase straw and collect leaves in the fall to use as mulch. Make sure that your mulch materials are free of insects since bugs such as aphids and beetles may harm your hydrangeas. Laying mulch while it is still relatively warm out is likely to attract rodents who are preparing their winter shelter, and may cause rotting and disease in your hydrangea plants. If you live in a very cold climate, wait until the ground freezes to lay down mulch. In warmer climates, wait until at least the late fall. In very cold climates, mulching may not be necessary as other more extensive sheltering from winter conditions may be required. Hydrangeas require a thick layer of mulch to protect them properly throughout the winter. Scatter your mulch materials to cover the ground around the base of your plants. Make sure that the mulch is at least 6 inches (15 cm) high.

If you're not sure what you're doing, you may want to try a different stretch. This stretch is designed to help you get into a relaxed, relaxed, relaxed, relaxed, relaxed, relaxed, relaxed, relaxed, relaxed, relaxed, relaxed, relaxed, relaxed, relaxed, relaxed, relaxed, relaxed, relaxed

Warm up. Stand up straight. Start an eight count. Clap your hands together on "1". Bring your arms into a high V on "3". Swing your arms downward and bend your knees on "5". On "6", jump and strike a pose! Land with a bend in your knees on "7". Put it all together!

To change 1 of the mixed fractions, multiply the denominator by the whole number. Then add the numerator. Place the result over the line and leave the denominator as-is. Repeat this for the other mixed fraction. For example, if you start with 1 1/2 x 4 4/7, change them to improper fractions. 1 1/2 will become 3/2 and 4 4/7 will become 32/7. Your equation will now by 3/2 x 32/7. Now that you have 2 improper fractions and no whole numbers in the equation, multiply the numerators together. Write the result and place a line below it.  The numerator is always the top number in a fraction. For example, with 3/2 x 32/7, multiply 3 by 32 to get 96. Multiply the numbers below the line and write the result under your numerator. For example, with 3/2 x 32/7, multiply the 2 by 7 to get 14. If the numerator of your result is larger than the denominator, see how many times the denominator will go into the numerator. Then leave put the remainder over the denominator to give you a mixed fraction.  For example, if you got 96/14, see how many times 14 will go into 96. You'll get 6 with 12 left over. Place 12 over the denominator (14). Most instructors will want you to put the answer in the same form as the question. So if you started with mixed fractions, convert your answer to a mixed fraction. further if possible. You'll probably end up with a whole number and a fraction. Look at the fraction and see if you can simplify it. For example, if you have 6 12/14, reduce 12/14 by 2 to get 6/7. In this example, your final answer will be 6 6/7.

TL;DR in English: Convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions. Multiply the numerators of the improper fractions. Multiply the denominators of the improper fractions. Turn the answer into a mixed fraction if possible. Simplify

As with any form of exercise, it's wise to warm up your body before cheerleading with light cardio exercise and stretching. Elevating your heart rate before beginning your routine ensures that your heart can gradually ease into its high "workout" rate. Additionally, stretching out your muscles is thought to help improve your flexibility during your performance and to protect against injuries from over-flexing (though in recent years this has been the subject of some debate. Warm up for your herkie by doing a few stretches (focused mainly on your lower body and core, the muscles you'll be relying on the most), followed by some jumping jacks or jogging to get your heart pumping. One stretch that's particularly useful for cheerleaders attempting the herkie is the aptly-named "herkie stretch". In this stretch, the cheerleader mimics the mid-air position of the herkie on the ground. Note that this stretch requires you to do the splits, so if you're not flexible enough to do so, you may need to gradually build your flexibility with a stretching routine. To perform a herkie stretch, follow the steps below:  Sit on the floor with your back straight and your head up. Shift your stronger and more flexible leg straight out in front of you. Simultaneously shift your other leg so that it is bent out to the side. Gently reach for the toes of your outstretched leg. Hold this position for 30 seconds, feeling a mild stretch as you do so. Switch legs. When you do your herkie, you'll be stretching your stronger, more flexible leg out in front of you, but practicing the stretch for the other leg can improve your overall flexibility and make your muscles feel "evenly" stretched. When you're ready to perform your herkie, get into a a proper, erect starting posture. Stand upright with your feet about shoulder-width apart and your back straight, keeping your chin up and your shoulders back in a relaxed, pulled-back position. Don't forget to smile! Cheerleading isn't all about your athletic ability - it's also about your ability to...

When creating a virtual machine, you will need to install the operating system just like you would on a regular computer. This means that you will need the installation disc(s) for the operating system you want to install on the virtual machine. You can also install an operating system by using its ISO file. This will open the wizard that will guide you through the process to create your first virtual machine. On the first screen of the wizard, you will be asked to give the new virtual machine a name as well as choose what operating system you will be installing. Choose the type of operating system from the "Type" menu, and then choose which version you are installing from the "Version" menu.  For example, if you are installing Windows 7, choose "Microsoft Windows" from the Type menu, and then "Windows 7" from the Version menu. If you are installing the 64-bit version of the operating system, make sure to choose the 64-bit version from the Version menu. It's at the bottom of the window. You will need to designate how much of your computer's RAM will be allocated to your virtual machine. VirtualBox will automatically choose the recommended minimum amount for the operating system you selected, but you can increase or decrease this if you'd like.  You can only go as high as the amount of RAM physically installed in your system. It is not recommended that you set it to the max amount, as there won't be any left for your regular operating system to use when the virtual machine is running.  Select a virtual hard drive option and click Create, then click through the prompts and click Create again. Your virtual machine will need a virtual hard drive in order to install the operating system and any programs.  Make sure that the virtual hard drive has at least enough space to install the operating system.

The tick will probably still be alive when you remove it. You can soak it in rubbing alcohol or flush it down the toilet to prevent it from attaching itself to you or your loved ones. If ticks in your area are known to frequently carry Lyme disease, you might want to save the tick in case you need to get it tested. Place it in a plastic food storage bag, seal the bag, then put it in the freezer. Find a lab that does tick testing and follow instructions for properly submitting the tick. In the weeks following the tick removal, check the site for signs that you may have contracted Lyme Disease or another tick-borne illness. you'll need to tell your doctor when you noticed the tick, when you removed it, and what subsequent symptoms you notice. If you notice the following symptoms developing, see a doctor immediately:  A fever and/or chills. This is a common symptom of tick-borne illnesses. Headaches and muscle aches. The tell-tale bulls-eye rash. This is a symptom of Lyme disease as well as Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness (STARI). Red patches create a bulls-eye pattern around the site of the tick bite, so watch out for this. Any other type of rash. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF), also carried by ticks, can cause a rash that does not look like a bulls-eye to appear.

If you're going to be living out of your suitcase for a while, it's a good idea to make the most important items, or the most useful items easily accessible so that you can get them quickly without having to unpack everything. What's most important for your trip will likely depend on you and your trip, so plan accordingly for yourself. Some travelers like to use mesh or netted bags to keep all your things in place in certain groups. For example, you could pack all your pajamas, underwear, and miscellaneous things in one mesh bag. Then you can have another for your shirts, and another for your pants. This keeps everything organized and easy to find, as well as easy to repack when it comes time. If you're feeling particularly type-A, it's also possible to plan out your individual outfits to keep them packed by day. If you're a planner, go ahead and figure out what you'd like to wear for each day of the trip and pack the pants and the shirts you're going to wear, rolled up together, or included in the same mesh bag. When the time comes, you can unroll the outfit or the bag and your'e ready to go. Bring an extra mesh bag for laundry, to help keep your dirty clothes separate from your clean clothes.

If you’re a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional, your skills could be invaluable on the ground in Aleppo. Many civilians and refuges are in need of urgent medical care, and organizations like Doctors without Borders or the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS) can put new volunteers to work quickly.  Contact SAMS through their website to find out how you can volunteer and get involved.  If you don’t have the time or resources to go to Syria or Aleppo, doctors and nurses can also help on-the-ground medical professionals by giving them guidance over Skype. Many medical organizations and humanitarian relief groups would have use for a translator who can speak and read both Arabic and English. Helping to cross the language barrier could save lives or help wounded civilians receive the food and medical treatment they need If you’re interested in translating, contact any aid organization currently helping the civilians of Syria and Aleppo. Get in touch with aid organizers on the websites for Syria Relief, the Syrian American Medical Society, Hand for Hand in Syria, and the Syrian American Medical Society. If you live in Canada, Australia, or most of Europe, organizations like Refugees Welcome work to place refugees from much of Syria (including Aleppo) in safe, welcoming homes outside of Syria. Based on where you live, you can sign up to take in refugees as guests for an agreed-upon period of time.

A seminar paper is an advanced piece of research writing, but it shares many of the same features as a regular research paper. Before you begin writing your seminar paper, it is important to make sure that you understand how a seminar paper differs from a research paper. Unlike a basic research paper, a seminar paper also requires:  an argument that makes an original contribution to the existing scholarship on your subject extensive research that supports your argument extensive footnotes or endnotes (depending on the documentation style you are using) While you may have written many papers in the past, it is important to make sure that you understand the details of your current assignment before you get started. As soon as your professor assigns the paper, read the guidelines carefully and highlight anything that you do not understand. Ask your professor to clarify the instructions if anything seems unclear or if you just don’t understand the assignment. You may also consider talking to your professor about your intended topic to make sure that you are on the right track.  Make sure that you understand how to cite your sources for the paper and how to use the documentation style your professor prefers, such as APA, MLA, or Chicago Style. Don’t feel bad if you have questions. It is better to ask and make sure that you understand than to do the assignment wrong and get a bad grade. Your professor will be expecting original analysis, extensive research, and excellent writing. Therefore, it is important that you get started early and do the best work that you can do. Begin working on the paper as soon as it is assigned and take advantage of your university’s writing center for extra help.  Since it's best to break down a seminar paper into individual steps, creating a schedule is a good idea. You can adjust your schedule as needed. Do not attempt to research and write a seminar in just a few days. This type of paper requires extensive research, so you will need to plan ahead. Get started as early as possible....

As you recover from Zika, make sure that you drink plenty of fluids. You can become dehydrated when you have Zika, and having a fever can make dehydration even worse. Drink at least the minimum amount of water each day (8 cups of water per day is recommended as the minimum), if not more.  Drinking non-caffeinated tea and/or electrolyte sports beverages is also a good way to stay hydrated. Stay away from coffee and alcohol as you recover because they will dehydrate you even more. One of the best and easiest ways to boost the strength of your immune system is to get plenty of rest. Try to get at least eight hours of sleep every night until you have recovered from Zika.  You may also want to take a few days off work and avoid any stressful or physically demanding activities as you recover. Try some relaxing activities as well such as reading a good book, watching a program on TV, or listening to some soothing music. Since you will be relying on the natural strength of your immune system to fight off Zika, using strategies to boost your immune system may help. Be aware that there are no peer-reviewed studies supporting the use of supplements or vitamins to bolster your immune system. All evidence is anecdotal, so the following may or may not have an effect (but may be worth a try anyway).   Vitamin C. Take around 500 to 1000 milligrams of vitamin C daily to help boost your immune system.  Zinc. The recommended daily intake of zinc for adult men is 11 milligrams and the recommended daily intake for women is eight milligrams.  Garlic. Try drinking a tea made from a few cloves of crushed garlic or add a few cloves of minced garlic to your food each day.  Echinacea. Drinking a few cups of Echinacea tea daily may help as well. You can also take 300 milligram capsules of Echinacea capsules three times daily.

One of the easiest ways to customize paint is by using a stencil. Lay the stencil down on the stone you wish to paint, and then paint over it. Any area  uncovered by the stencil will be painted, and any area covered will not. The contrast between the painted and not painted areas will give your stone a clear, visible design. If you are making concrete stones, you can place things in the concrete. As the concrete dries, it will harden around these objects. Once the concrete has fully hardened, the objects you added will be held in place. You can place things like small pebbles, trinkets, small yard decorations, or personal items in the concrete. Clean the items with a mild soap solution and a small brush so you can clearly see the details. While the concrete is still soft, you can use an object to indent the surface of the stone. This will leave an impression in the concrete and create a cast. Most commonly, this is done by placing your hand in the wet mix and creating a stone that has a cast of your handprints.

Before you hit the streets to promote a brand or product, you need to make sure you know everything you need to know in order to effectively do so. Proper training will tell you what your responsibilities are and how you need to behave while you’re out promoting.  Learn how to operate any vehicles, hardware, or devices that you’ll be expected to use in the field. Complete any certifications that the brand or organization requires in order for you to be a street promoter. Some areas may not allow you to solicit without a certification or a permit, which should be provided to you by the group you work for. In order to effectively promote a product or brand, you need to know as much about it as possible. You will need to be able to answer questions and provide additional information to people when you’re out on the streets.   Research the market for the product that you’ll be promoting so you’re confident and knowledgeable. Know all of the prices of what you’re promoting. Whether you’re on the street getting the word out for an upcoming concert or you’re promoting a company’s new product line, you need to know who it is you’re trying to pitch it to. Research your audience so you can more effectively promote to the people who are more likely to respond positively.  Ask the company about who you should promote to. Use your natural abilities to promote. For example, if you read a lot of fantasy fiction and you’re promoting an author’s new book, use your knowledge to explain why this new book is interesting and how it compares to other books that you’ve read. People may not feel comfortable talking to somebody in regular clothes. You need to look the part as a street promoter. A T-shirt, jewelry, hats, or any other accessories that match the brand or product will immediately identify you as part of the street team.  For example, if you’re promoting an upcoming concert, wear a T-shirt with the band’s name or logo on it. Your attire should correspond with what you’re promoting. For instance, if you’re promoting an...

TL;DR in English: Complete any training programs that are required. Learn about the products or brand that you’re promoting. Research your target demographic so you’re able to appeal to them. Wear clothing and accessories that advertise the brand. Put on a comfortable pair of shoes.

Look on your oven's temperature knob for the broil setting. Place your hot dogs on a baking sheet so they're in a single layer. None of the hot dogs should be touching. Place the baking sheet on the top rack of the oven so it's directly under the broiler's heat source. Set a timer for 4 minutes. Use an oven mitt to pull out the baking sheet so you can easily flip the hot dogs. Put the hot dogs back on the top rack of the oven and set another timer for 4 minutes. Carefully transfer the hot dogs to a plate using the tongs. Put the broiled hot dogs in buns and serve with your favorite toppings.

TL;DR in English: Set your oven to "broil" and prepare a baking sheet. Put the hot dogs in the oven and broil for 4 minutes. Flip the hot dogs with tongs and broil them for 4 more minutes. Take the broiled hot dogs out of the oven and serve.

TL;DR in English:


Avoid using your partner’s name. Forgive yourself for falling in love with a man who is unavailable. Be honest with him about how you feel if you’re hurting. Talk to a therapist if you’re struggling with this situation. Find a friend you can confide in without feeling judged.

Go to dinner at your favorite restaurant. Dress up for a night out on the town. Go back to the place where you first met. Sign up for a class together. Hit up a karaoke bar. Take a day trip to another city. Go hiking or camping.

When you know your man is with another person, it’s normal to want to feel superior to them. However, trying to best his partner is unlikely to get him to leave and will probably make you miserable. Instead, focus on being your best self and doing things that are important to you. If it’s meant to be, he’ll love you for who you are.  Don’t stalk your man’s partner on social media or ask your friends to check up on them. Similarly, don’t ask him about what his partner is doing. When you find your thoughts straying to questions like, “Why does he pick her?” try to turn your attention to what’s going well in your life. Tell yourself, “I’ve had a great weekend,” “I just got a raise,” or “I have the best friends.” You might feel guilty for letting yourself fall in love with a guy who is unavailable. This is normal, but torturing yourself isn’t going to make things better. Remind yourself that you just want to feel love and you deserve to be happy. Tell yourself, “It’s impossible to control who you fall in love with. I deserve to find love, so I’m not going to feel guilty for falling in love with someone who’s unavailable.” Depending on how your affair began, it’s possible that he doesn’t realize you’ve fallen in love. It can be really painful to love a man who isn’t giving you that love back. Talk to him about how you feel and what you want. This can help you either move forward in your relationship with him or figure out if it’s time to move on.  You might say, “I know we started this as a fling, but I’ve fallen in love with you. I want to discuss our future.” It’s possible that he’ll get upset when you tell him the truth. This can be really hard to hear, but you will get through this. If he has a negative response, call your friend for support. Your situation might feel really stressful, and you don’t have to do this alone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, a therapist can help you deal with your emotions and change your thoughts. Additionally, they can help you decide what’s best for your future and pursue your...

TL;DR in English: Avoid trying to compete with his partner. Forgive yourself for falling in love with a married man if you feel guilty. Be honest with him about how you feel if you’re hurting. Talk to a therapist if you’re struggling with this situation. Find a friend you can confide in without feeling judged.

This is the most accurate stance. Although, this is less of a stance and more of a location of your rifle. This allows your rifle to rest on something other than you or the ground. It gives the most stable platform without human input. This allows you to sight in your sights or scope, so you know when you are holding the gun that it is your fault when you miss. If you are planning on hunting you should get better at the below stances because you are probably not going to take a bench with you on your hunt. By far, this is the most accurate field position for "sniping". The most common position is lying on your belly with your legs spread out, your feet arch down partly embedded in the ground and the rifle tight in your shoulder. The position will look like you are in a " Y " shape. This position is the most stable prone position as to have the recoil be absorbed through your body. This will cut the recoil enough to give you better accuracy at longer ranges. Also as a note, your breathing has the most effect on your shot.  With a bipod or some other way to hold the front of the gun, it is often best to put your support (non-trigger) hand under the butt of the stock. This allows you to position the elevation of the sights or scope more precisely. If there is no bipod or other item to hold the front of the gun, your support hand should hold the front of the gun, this is less accurate than a bipod so invest in a good quality leather military style sling. Use a "loop sling" position. This is made by having the sling connected to the front swivel and the other end in a loop to go as high up on your bicep as possible. Then put your arm through the area between the rifle and sling. Then in a clockwise motion end up with the forward hand gripping the rifle under the front stock close to the swivel. You also have the option of making a make-shift bipod or tripod, or resting the front of the rifle on some other stable platform, like a backpack. This stance is considerably less accurate than a prone position. There are...

The classic candlelight dinner for two never loses its appeal. Since it’s a special occasion, don’t be afraid to go the whole nine yards—a bottle of wine, appetizers, a sumptuous main course, and something sweet to split for dessert. If the restaurant you have in mind accepts reservations, call the day before to make sure you’re able to get in. Throw on your finest threads before you head out for drinks or a show. This can be a good opportunity to dust off that cocktail dress or tailored suit that you don’t get many opportunities to wear. Your one year anniversary only comes along once—why not do it up in style?  Decide on a theme or color scheme for your attire so that you’ll both match. Take your boyfriend’s personal style into consideration. If he’s more the casual type, you might compromise by choosing a place where he can get away with wearing a polo shirt shirt rather than a suit and tie. For a more sentimental touch, plan a special outing to where it all began. There, you can share stories about what was running through your mind the first time you laid eyes on one another and talk about how much has changed over the course of a year.  You could even make a stop at a favorite bar or night spot part of an evening full of festivities. A walk down memory lane for two doesn’t have to be limited to a restaurant or coffee shop. Couples who met at the gym, for instance, could partner up for a workout session. Look into special interest activities that you can do as a couple. For example, you might participate in a beginner’s yoga workshop, learn to mix cocktails, or pick up the basics of French cooking. Taking a class will afford you the opportunity to enjoy one another’s company while learning a new skill.  Explore the “Events” page on Facebook to find out more about events being offered in your area.  Remember, it’s your boyfriend’s anniversary too. Drop hints to see how he responds to different ideas before you drag him off to a class he has no interest in. For a more lighthearted evening out, head to a...

TL;DR in English:


Use "shalom" (shah-lohm) to mean also "goodbye. Try "lehitra'ot" (leh-hiht-rah-oht) as an alternative to "shalom. Switch to "yom tov" (yahm tahv) to wish someone a good day. Say "bye" or "yalla bye" to your friends.

You want to be fresh and clean for your movie date. Make sure you take a shower or bath as close as possible to the time of your date. Try using a soap or body wash with a neutral scent, or one that matches your perfume or cologne. Avoid strong scents - you'll be sitting next to your date for a couple of hours, so keep things neutral to make the experience comfortable for your date, too. Once you bathe and finish washing your hair, apply a deodorant or antiperspirant to help control body odor and/or perspiration. Try wearing deodorant even if you think you don’t need it. While you don’t want to go over the top with your hairstyle for a movie date, you should at least make sure your hair is combed and looking neat. If you have longer hair, try a simple ponytail or braid. You can also go for a more involved up-do like a bun or topknot. If you have shorter hair, you can just comb or brush it and set the style in place with a little gel or hairspray. A movie date is an opportunity to look your best while still looking casual. Less can be more on a movie date as far as makeup is concerned. Instead of wearing intense eye makeup and bold lip color, try more neutral tones. For example, go for a taupe eye shadow, mascara, and a little lip gloss. You will want to make sure you have fresh breath for your movie date. Right before you walk out the door, brush your teeth. You can also floss and use mouthwash if you desire. Avoid eating anything that might give you bad breath after you brush your teeth.

TL;DR in English: Shower before the date. Apply deodorant and/or antiperspirant. Style your hair. Try wearing simple makeup. Brush your teeth.

You should have clean hands whenever you are touching the area around your band-aid to prevent the spread of bacteria and possible infection.  Use clean water from a tap to wet your hands. Warm or cold is fine. Turn off the tap and apply soap to your hands. Rub your hands together to create a lather with the soap making sure to coat the back of your hands, between your fingers, and underneath your fingernails. Continue scrubbing your hands for 20 seconds. This is about as long as it takes to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice in a row from beginning to end.   Rinse the soap off of your hands with clean water from the tap. Dry your hands with a clean cloth towel, paper towel, or you can air dry them. As an alternative to washing your hands, you can use a hand sanitizer that is at least 60% alcohol. Like washing your hands, cleaning the area around your band-aid can help prevent infection or the spread of bacteria during removal.  Fill a clean bowl with clean tap water and mild liquid soap. Warm or cold water is fine, although warm (not hot) water may feel more comforting. Soak a clean washcloth in the soapy water and wring it out to remove excess moisture. Gently wash the skin around and on top of the band-aid with the wash cloth. Avoid putting direct pressure on top of the band-aid as you do this. Instead, give it a quick wipe with the cloth. Gently pat the area dry with a clean, dry washcloth. Choose something not too thick that it blocks the cold of the ice. Don’t use a gel pack because it won’t get the adhesive cold enough. Ice can make the adhesive brittle so it pulls off your skin easily. The time it takes here depends on how strong the adhesive is, and the overall size of your band-aid. If the band-aid doesn’t release easily, continue icing it. Repeat this until the band-aid is able to come off entirely. It’s easiest to slide a fingernail underneath an edge and gently prying it up.

TL;DR in English: Wash your hands with soap and clean water. Clean the area around the band-aid. Make an ice pack by wrapping several ice cubes in a paper towel or thin cloth. Hold the ice pack against the parts of the band-aid with adhesive. Test to see if the band-aid is released by lifting a corner.

" In Hebrew, "shalom" is an all-purpose greeting that can be used both when you're meeting someone and when you're parting ways. If you're not sure exactly what to say, this is an appropriate word to use. "Shalom" is appropriate with anyone, regardless of how old you are or how well you know them. " "Lehitra'ot" is more like saying "see you later," but it's also used as a standard way of saying "goodbye" in Israel. If you learn any other way to say "goodbye" other than "shalom," learn this. This is a little more difficult to pronounce than other basic Hebrew words, such as "shalom," but if you travel to Israel, you'll hear it quite a bit. Just start slow and practice your pronunciation. A native speaker can help you. Just as you might say "have a good day" in English when you're parting ways with someone, Hebrew speakers say "yom tov." While this phrase literally means "good day," it's only used as a parting or farewell phrase, never as a greeting. You can also say "yom nifla" (yahm nee-flah), which means "have a wonderful day." It's a little more enthusiastic than "yom tov," but it's also appropriate in any context with any person. The word "yalla" comes from Arabic and doesn't have an exact English equivalent. However, it's a word that Hebrew speakers use often. Essentially, it means "time to go" or "time to move on." This phrase is informal and casual, so it's best used between friends or when talking to people your age or younger.

Ask employees where the lobster is sourced from—if the store is extremely close to the source, the lobster likely be a bit fresher. Otherwise, location isn't a huge deal. Wrap them in a damp (but not wet) newspaper. Store them in a container or bag with 1 frozen gel pack. Place them on the bottom shelf of your fridge to avoid cross contamination for a maximum of 36 to 48 hours.  Claws should be clean and free from scratches. Leave the rubber bands on their claws until you submerge them in water—their claws are strong and can cause injury. Remember: the farther the sources from their market, the less effect distance has on quality. This should hold about 6 to 8 pounds (2.7 to 3.6 kg) of lobster. As a rule of thumb, it's better to have too much water than to overcrowd the pot with too much lobster. Salt increases the boiling point of water. This means your water will come to a more steady boil than it would without salt, which is ideal for rolling boils. For best results, use sea salt. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a bowl. You can also purchase lemon juice from the store—a medium-sized lemon is about 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of lemon juice. Afterward, pour the juice into the stockpot along with the other ingredients.  This step is ideal if you prefer a broth (meat cooked with vegetable chunks and water) to a brine (meat cooked in high-concentration salt water). If you plan to eat your lobster with melted butter, you can skip this step. A rolling boil is when the water does not stop boiling when you stir the water. Place the pot on an element and set it to the highest heat possible. Once you notice consistent bubbling, you can begin adding your lobsters. Always keep a rolling boil—it will ensure the water will boil even after the lobster is put into the pot, reducing the temperature of the water momentarily. Gently dip them into the water one at a time, always placing them headfirst. Submerge them as fast as possible, but take care not to splash any water. Afterward, clamp the lid onto the pot and turn...

TL;DR in English: Purchase 4 live lobsters from your local grocery store. Fill a 6 gallons (23 L) stockpot with 4 to 5 gallons (15 to 19 L) of water. Add 12 tablespoons of salt per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water. Add 1 sprig of thyme, 2 bay leaves, and the juice of 1 lemon into the water. Bring the water to a full rolling boil. Hold the lobsters by the tail with your tongs and put them in the water. Boil 8 minutes for each 1 pound (0.45 kg) of lobster. Check whether the lobsters are cooked after the allotted cooking time.

If you're just starting out, put it on the lowest setting. Move the pulley down to the lowest rung. If you know the weight you want, move the pulley to that level instead. You don't want to start with something too heavy because you could injure yourself. You need to work up to more weight. Be especially careful if you've had a shoulder or lower back injury in the past. It should have a low cable just for exercises like seated cable rows. If you can't sit on the floor due to mobility issues, sit on a bench in front of a cable machine that has a cable at that level, which will provide a similar style exercise. You need to brace your feet while pulling the cable, so place them on the pads in front of you. Some machines may just have a base where you can brace your heels instead.  You only need to bend your knees slightly, but they shouldn't be flat on the floor. You need to brace your feet on the pads while you're pulling, so if the machine doesn't have them, you have to improvise. The best option is to use a step (the kind used for stepping exercises). Prop your feet on the side of the step to brace your feet while rowing. Lean over to grab the handle. Pull back to sit up straight. Grip the handles like you're holding onto mugs, as it's typically a v-grip.  If it's a straight bar, you can grab it with either an overhanded or underhanded grip. Using an underhanded grip will make it easier on your shoulders. You will need to extend your arms to sit up straight. Throughout the exercise, make sure your back is straight. Don't lean over. Also, press your chest out, drawing your shoulder blades together, as that helps you work your upper and middle back.  Even though you're keeping your back straight and your torso still, you can flex your hips a little if that helps you do the exercise. However, don't bend at your hips at any point. Keep your core muscles engaged as you do the exercise so that your upper body stays steady. As you do, push your elbows back. They should stay at your sides but move toward your back....

TL;DR in English: Set the weight to the appropriate marker. Sit on the floor in front of the cable machine. Bend your knees and position your feet on the pads. Grab the handle and then straighten out your back. Push your shoulders together and keep your back straight. Pull the cable back toward your torso. Hold the position for a few seconds. Extend your arms slowly back to the start position. Repeat until you start to feel the burn.

In addition to preventing your leader from casting on overhead branches or otherwise snapping, casting sidearm will permit the bubble to lead the fly during the cast (much like weighted lines lead the leader in fly casting) and let the fly land naturally. Submerged flies should be let fall to a depth of 5 to 10 feet (1.5 to 3 m) before you begin your retrieve. You can test the rate of fall by dropping the fly and bubble in the water and note how long it takes to fall to a particular depth. When you cast the fly, you can count down to this same depth before starting your retrieve. Flies fished on or near the surface should be presented as though they're drifting with the current toward shore, with occasional twitches to mimic struggling. Submerged flies should be fished with a stop-and-go action or with slow pulls to simulate a swimming minnow or crustacean. Your bubble should cause a slight wake in calm water to provide sufficient resistance to the line to help you distinguish between when a fish hits the fly and when the fly hits something else. As with the more familiar, colored, clip-on bobbers, if the bubble suddenly dips or bobs sharply, a fish has taken the fly. This will help drive the hook home. If you fail to set the hook, return to the same slow retrieve you were using. The fish may think it only injured the fly and want to move in for the kill.

TL;DR in English:

Use a bobby pin or paperclip to dislodge as much as resin as possible. Set the resin aside to throw away or smoke later. Open up a plastic sandwich bag and place the pipe inside. Then pour in 99% isopropyl alcohol until the bowl is submerged. 99% isopropyl is preferable, but any percentage above 70% will sufficiently clean your pipe. A higher percentage will clean your pipe more efficiently. The salt will act as an agitator and help break up the resin. You can also add some salt down the mouthpiece to clean out the rest of the pipe. If you want to evaporate the alcohol and smoke the resin later, don’t add salt. Perform the same steps and make sure the alcohol is completely evaporated before smoking the leftover resin. Soaking in the alcohol and salt mixture will loosen up the resin and make it easier to remove. After soaking, shake the bagged pipe to agitate the salt and help dislodge any last stubborn bits of resin. If the pipe is particularly dirty, you may want to repeat the process. You can also clean out the leftover resin with a pipe cleaner or cotton swab to speed the process. Throw away the baggie of resin or keep it to evaporate and smoke later. Wipe the clean pipe with a towel and let it fully dry before using it.  Be careful with the resin--it’ll be extremely sticky and will stain anything it comes in contact with. Make sure to rinse away all of the alcohol, since it is extremely flammable. Cannabis resin is extremely sticky and difficult to remove, particularly with glass pipes. Clean out your pipe once a week to make the process easier and faster.  Soak your pipe in isopropyl alcohol for five minutes every week to keep it clean.  If you have a wood pipe, do not soak it weekly. Rather, scrub the pipe with an isopropyl alcohol-soaked toothbrush to remove buildup.

TL;DR in English: Scrape out the bulk of the resin. Put the pipe and isopropyl alcohol in a plastic bag. Pour a tablespoon of sea salt into the alcohol. Seal the bag and let it sit for two hours. Hold the bowl through the bag and shake for five minutes. Take the pipe out of the bag and inspect it for leftover buildup. Wash the pipe with warm, soapy water once it’s clean. Clean your pipe weekly to avoid buildup.

It’s going to be difficult to fake swelling or spots in your throat, so stick to having symptoms that you can control like pain, fatigue, and fever. It’s a good idea to not take anything that claims to give you the actual physical symptoms of strep throat. These could make you very sick. Someone with strep throat is usually in too much pain to talk a lot. If you reply to questions with head or hand gestures or even by writing notes, this helps convince people that your throat is too sore to talk. It’s also advisable that when you do say something, not to say it too loudly or yell. Remember, you’re in too much pain to really even be talking. This can also be particularly effective if you’re looking to get out of a commitment on the same day. This is a dead giveaway that you’re probably not sick and trying to get out of something. This demonstrates that not only is your throat hurting so much it hurts to swallow, but also that you’re being careful to not further irritate it. Closing your eyes and lightly wincing when you do slowly swallow reinforces just how much your strep throat hurts. This is one way to soothe an actual sore throat and will show that you’re trying to take care of yourself. If you don’t show any energy or motivation to do things you normally like, this will show that you’re not feeling like your usual self.  Don’t be too sluggish. Showing general fatigue, such as not moving around much or not wanting to get out of bed other than to use the bathroom is plenty. It’s not a good idea to collapse or fall out of bed as it might end with an unwanted doctor’s visit. If someone mentions that you’re missing a commitment, say something along the lines of “I’m sorry to miss school/ work today because we had a group lunch planned.” Don’t smile too much or appear happy. Again, you’re feeling sick and want to convince others of this as well. Looking happy will make them question whether or not you’re really ill. It’s not easy to tell if someone has a fever unless it’s fairly high. Faking a fever will make...

TL;DR in English: Have controllable symptoms. Avoid talking to show how much your throat hurts. Avoid talking about whatever commitment you don’t want to attend. Swallow slowly and show your pain. Gargle with salt water. Be tired, sluggish, and sad. Have a fever. Don’t eat a lot, especially heavy foods. Don’t overdo it with symptoms.

Surround yourself with things that cheer you up, your favorite images, mementos, plants, or books. Don't forget to improve your lighting. Some people that suffer from seasonal affective disorder experience symptoms of depression if they don't have enough sunlight. If you are in a dim room, open up a window for some natural light. Or, if you are using artificial light, try lighting a lamp or candle to cheer you up. If you are at work and in a poor mood, you can try to introduce things from home to make you feel more comfortable. These might be pictures or a certain air fragrance. You can even try bringing your favorite tea as a warm, soothing reminder from home. Even if your house doesn’t smell bad, a good smelling candle or favorite fragrance can lift your mood. Try aromatherapy, inhaling or topically applying essential oils, to cheer you up and reduce stress. Studies have found that lemon oil in particular elevates and improves mood, while bad smells in general make you feel tense, depressed, or angry. Researchers are uncertain about what makes essential oils and aromatherapy effective. But, they believe that receptors in your nose stimulate parts of your brain which control emotions and memories. Spend some time cleaning or re-organizing your home or office. Research has shown that having clutter in your apartment or at work can increase your stress level greatly which can bring down your mood. Try to declutter the space, which can reduce your stress level and improve your mood. Donate, throw out, or recycle things you no longer need or want. You might even find that organizing things to make them more functional may cheer you up. Color can greatly impact your mood. Consider painting a few rooms or adding decorative elements with a cheerful color to lift your spirits. Yellow is a good choice for brightening a space, while shades of pink might make you feel more playful. Don't think that you have to use the brightest, boldest shade of the color. Even a pale yellow can help you cheer up. Try balancing several...
