Wind is caused when air moves from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area. Since weather moves in from the west, westerly winds indicate good weather because they suggest the bad weather is already to your east. Easterly winds suggest that the bad weather is coming toward you.  You can use grass or flower petals to determine the direction of the wind. Throw your grass or flower petals into the wind and watch the way that it blows or falls. You can also detect the direction of the wind by wetting your finger and holding it out. The side of your finger that gets cool will tell you from which direction the wind is blowing. The air pressure determines what direction the smoke will go. In high pressure, the smoke will go directly up into the air. If the pressure is low, it will spiral back down around the fire. If you see the smoke spiraling back down, bad weather is likely on the way. When smoke spirals downwards, it means that bad weather is very close. The low-pressure system is already in place over your area. Before a storm, the low-pressure system can push out the area’s normal wind patterns. This creates a temporary calm before the storm begins. You’ll notice a lack of wind, which creates a stillness over the area. If you're near water, it will be calm and still, as well. This calm indicates a coming storm. At this point, you should be able to observe other signs of a storm, such as dark clouds. Close your eyes and smell the air. Smells become wet right before a storm, making them stronger. Before a storm, you should also notice a compost smell as plants release their waste. If you start to smell a compost scent, it likely means that a storm is coming. If you are near a swamp, you will likely smell swamp gases right before a storm. Swamp gas smells like rotten eggs because it comes from decaying vegetation. High humidity often precedes a storm, so watch for signs of high humidity, such as frizzy hair, curling leaves, and swollen wood. These signs can tell you that a storm is on the way.  Pine cones can...

TL;DR in English: Detect the direction of the wind. Watch smoke from a fire. Watch for calm conditions. Take a deep breath. Check for humidity. Observe ocean swells.

You can use outfits to make aspects of your appearance look bigger, smaller, more obvious, or less noticeable.   Patterns – Clothes with vertical lines will usually make the part of the body they're worn on look thinner. Meanwhile, horizontal stripes will often make that space look wider. Bright, attention grabbing patterns will draw the eye to where they're worn, so if you'd like to emphasize your bust, a patterned shirt is a good strategy. The converse is also true; dark, solid pieces can de-emphasize certain areas of your body, especially when paired with bright patterns.  Waist styles – Low-waisted paints can make your body look curvier with a more well-defined waist. Empire waists can help to emphasize your bust.  Structured tailoring – Clothing with structured tailoring can be used to emphasize and give shape to any part of your body. Boxy outerwear can make your upper body look bulkier, while shoulder pads can specifically make your shoulders appear wider. Pleated trousers can also make legs look thicker.  Types of hemlines – A-line skirts are great for adding curves and making your bottom half look wider. Straight skirts are also good for doing the latter. Tapered skirts have the opposite effect; wear these when trying to de-emphasize your lower body.  Fit – In general, baggy clothing will hide definition, while tighter fits will accentuate it. Whether you're buying clothing off-the-rack or having it tailored, it's best to keep your exact proportions in mind. Use a tape measure and write down the exact numbers. Here are the measurements you should take:  Circumference of your head for hat sizing. Upper arm for sleeves. Neck, which is more important in men's clothing. Widest or fullest part of your chest or bust. Natural waistline. Hips for women's clothing. Inseam, which is the distance from your groin to the bottom of your ankle. The right fit is the most important part of choosing good clothes. In general, a garment that fits well but is in an unflattering style will look better than a piece with a...

. To make writing the novel much easier, plot out your novel. Use a plot diagram to plot out the novel, making sure you keep the stakes high and the conflict going in the plot. A plot diagram will have exposition, the inciting incident, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. You can also use the snowflake method to plot out the novel. The snowflake method consists of a one-sentence summary, a one paragraph summary, character synopses, and a spreadsheet of scenes. Start the thriller novel with a scene right in the action. Starting with action will throw the reader into the scene right away and assure them they are in for some major thrills. Introduce the crime or describe the protagonist in a the middle of a dilemma or major issue.  Avoid including backstory or exposition in the opening pages of the novel. You can do this later. Start with the most interesting or engaging moments first. For example, you may start a thriller with a description of a killer hunting down a victim. This will immerse the reader in the world of the story right away. As the novel goes on, make sure the stakes are always high for the main character and for the reader. This means putting your main character in situations that are difficult or risky. Keep conflict going between characters. Create obstacles that get in the way of the character solving a crime or achieving what they want. Make the main character’s life full of complications or issues. For example, maybe you have a thriller where a young, eager FBI agent wants to solve a difficult case. You may make it difficult for the agent to achieve their goal by causing evidence to be lost in a fire or by having a witness go missing. Do not include any unnecessary information or information that does not further the plot. Make sure the action moves forward continually in the novel and that the pace is always fast. Thriller are at their best when they are action packed and focus more on plot than anything else. For example, rather than include long sections of backstory...

TL;DR in English: Plot out the novel Begin with a bang. Maintain high stakes. Keep the action moving. Build to an exciting climax. End on a high note.

Your doctor may prescribe a combination of megestrol acetate (Megace), corticosteroids and anti-anxiety drugs to reduce your weight loss and prevent muscle loss. The dosage of each may need to be adjusted through the course of your treatment, depending on your condition. Other medications that may be considered include Oxandrolone or Dronabinol. Oxandrolone is an anabolic steroid used to encourage weight gain after a trauma by promoting the building of muscle tissue. Dronabinol is used to treat anorexia, nausea, and vomiting in patients who are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy to treat cancer. Sometimes your lack of appetite or weight loss is caused by another treatable condition, such as depression, pain, or anxiety. Your physician can help with medication or recommendations for behavioral therapy which will reduce your depression or anxiety and increase your appetite. Before you start your first treatment, make sure you have lots of pre-cooked foods and snacks you know you enjoy already prepared. Stock your pantry and fill your freezer. You should also ask friends and family to help you with shopping, cooking, and cleaning while you're feeling badly. Planning ahead for eating will make it easier to focus on treatment plans and regaining your strength. Talk with your healthcare team about measures you should be taking to prevent constipation. Avoid trying to eat a few large meals each day, as this can make you feel nauseous. Instead, eat as much of a meal as you can whenever you feel the hungriest during the day. Throughout the day you should have snacks every few hours, without waiting until you feel hungry. Pack things like trail mix or protein shakes to make up the difference in calories if you can't eat a full meal. Drink most of your fluids between meals and/or snacks instead of with them. Fluids will fill your stomach and make you feel like you are full but without having consumed enough calories, so it’s best to drink fluids when you aren’t eating. If you find that eating solid foods is...

In order for you to be able to remember something, your brain needs to go through three stages: acquisition, consolidation, and retrieval (sometimes known as recall). If something goes wrong in one of these stages, it will be difficult to remember what you want to remember.  In the acquisition stage, information that you’ve just learned is stored in your short-term memory before either being discarded or encoded as long-term memory. If you’re not paying attention to something, such as where you put your glasses down before leaving the room, you’re very likely to forget their location when you come back. In the consolidation stage, information that you’ve learned is transferred into long-term memory. This is more likely to happen if this information relates to other long-term memories of yours, is meaningful in some way (related to historical or important events), or has a strong sensory impression connected to it. In the retrieval stage, information stored in your memory is retrieved by activating the neuronal pattern used to store it. This stage is often where the feeling of having something “on the tip of your tongue” occurs, and there are some things you can do to prompt this stage. Research has found that a lot of memory is “context-dependent,” meaning people are better at remembering information in an environment that matches the environment in which that information was learned. For example, if you thought of something in the living room and forgot it by the time you got to the kitchen, try going back to the living room. It’s likely the return to a familiar context will help you retrieve the forgotten information. If you can’t physically go back to the place you were when you had the thought you’ve now forgotten, try imagining where you were, what you were doing, and how your thoughts connected to each other. Because many memories are stored along overlapping neuronal patterns, reconstructing your train of thought may help retrieve the forgotten thought by stimulating related ideas. For example, if you...

TL;DR in English: Understand the stages of remembering something. Retrace your steps. Reconstruct your train of thought. Recreate the original environmental cues. Think and/or talk about something else that's not related. Relax.

Before you do anything else, you need to turn of the circuit breaker. If you aren’t sure which breaker turns off the light, turn off the main breaker and use natural light or a headlamp to complete this project. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws, or an impact driver with a hex-shaft to remove the nuts, that secure the canopy (the dome-shaped cover) to the ceiling. Then, use a screwdriver to remove the screws that secure the crossbar to the electrical box. Disconnect the wires on the fixture from the wires in the ceiling by removing the wire connectors and untwisting the wires. Carefully lower the old fixture to the floor. Follow the instructions that came with the new fixture. Generally, you’ll need to line up the crossbar with the back of the canopy and thread the pipe or screws through the canopy. Only 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 inch (0.64 to 1.27 cm) of the pipe should extend past the canopy, so adjust the screws or pipe until that much is showing. Tighten the nuts to hold the screws or pipe in place. Ask someone to hold the fixture while you do this. First, make sure all the wires are on 1 side of the crossbar. Then, use a screwdriver to screw the crossbar to the electrical box on the ceiling. It should go across the center of the hole and be screwed in on either side. You should connect the “hot” wire in the fixture to the “hot” wire in the ceiling, and the neutral wire in the fixture to the neutral wire in the ceiling. Generally, the hot wire is black or red and the neutral wire is white. Use wire connectors to connect the like wires to each other. Simply twist the exposed parts of the wires together, then screw the connector onto the wires. There is a ground screw on the crossbar that you installed, and it can usually be found just to 1 side of the center of the crossbar. Find the ground wire, which is usually green or copper. Wrap the ground wire clockwise around the ground screw to tighten it. Tuck all of the wires and wire connectors into the electrical box. Then, use a screwdriver or impact driver to secure...

TL;DR in English: Turn off the circuit breaker that powers the light. Remove the old fixture, if applicable. Assemble the mounting strap for the new fixture. Attach the crossbar to the electrical box. Connect the like wires to each other. Wrap the ground wire clockwise around the ground screw. Install the canopy. Add the light bulbs and turn the power back on.

You can use a variety of tools to do this. A foam or bristle brush will do fine, but you can also use a cloth dipped in stain to color your teak furniture. Apply an even coat all over. If there are any parts of the furniture you don’t want to stain, use masking tape to protect them. Use a clean dry rag to wipe off excess stain. Use a rag you don’t mind dirtying; the wood stain would be incredibly difficult to wash out. The longer you leave on the stain before wiping, the darker the color. The amount of time it takes for the stain to completely dry will depend on how thick of a layer you used. Avoid touching the stain too much if it’s still wet; you might end up with an uneven, blotchy coat. After the first coat has dried, take a moment to see if you’re satisfied with the color. If you want your furniture to be darker, you can add another coat of wood stain, right on top of the previous layer, following the same process. Use a clean brush to paint on the finish once you’ve gotten the desired color. After applying the finish, make sure to give it plenty of time to dry. There are three main types of finish, each with their own characteristics:  Oil finishes look closest to wood, but aren’t the best for protecting wood. Avoid using this kind of finish on outdoor furniture. Lacquer strike a good balance between attractive finish and durability, but require multiple coats. Polyurethane finishes are the most protective of the three, even repelling water.

Talk to your boyfriend well before the meeting and ask what his parents like and don't like. He should also be able to tell you some favorite subjects you can talk about and topics to steer clear of.  Things you might want to find out: Where are his parents from? What kind of work do they do? What do they like to do in their spare time? Make sure you find out conversation topics to avoid in order to prevent a foot-in-mouth moment. For example, you might not want to talk about the expensive cruise your family just went on when your boyfriend’s parents are having money problems. attentively to everyone who speaks to you. Make eye contact and use body language, such as nodding and leaning toward the speaker, to indicate you are interested in what they are saying. Most people love to talk about themselves. Try to get his parents talking by asking about their lives, or to tell you more about their children. Ask them to share a funny story about your boyfriend as a child. Ask open-ended questions. Questions that require more than a yes or no answer are ways to continue the conversation. Try saying, “Tell me more about that” or “What was that like?” If you need to correct his parents on something, be respectful and polite. Don’t act like a know-it-all, and do not engage in an argument.  You could say, “I’ve also heard this perspective…” or “You know, I just read about this! The article said.....” which can help take the heat off you while gently offering another perspective. Do not say things like, “You’re wrong,” or “How can you even think that?” Don’t act like a know-it-all. People do not like lectures, they prefer conversations.

You need to know about the specific blood tests your doctor is ordering. Some blood tests will require special preparation to get accurate results. Some examples of common blood tests which require special preparation include:  Glucose tolerance tests, which require fasting prior to coming to the lab. You also have to remain at the lab for up to 5 hours and your blood is taken every 30 to 60 minutes. Fasting Glucose test, which is done after you have not eaten or had anything to drink except water for 8 to 12 hours. These tests are often first thing in the morning so you aren’t asked to go without eating all day. Serum Lipid testing, also called a cholesterol test, which will sometimes require you to fast for 9 to 12 hours before the test.  Cortisol blood test, where you are asked to refrain from exercising the day before, lie down for 30 minutes before the test, and refrain from eating or drinking for 1 hour before the test. There are certain substances that can alter blood tests, which you may need to stop before your blood test. Prescription medications, recreational drugs, alcohol intake, vitamins, blood thinners, or over-the-counter medications can often change the results of a blood test, depending on what the blood test is for. Your physician can determine if you should wait 24 to 48 hours to have the blood work done or if what you have taken will not significantly alter the blood test results. There are some blood tests that can be compromised based on your activities. These tests can be altered by recent physical activity or heavy exercise, undergoing dehydration, smoking, drinking herbal teas, or sexual activity. You might be asked to refrain from some of these activities prior to taking a blood test. Many tests do not require special preparation prior to getting your blood drawn. However, when in doubt, ask. If your physician does not give you any special instructions, it is important that you ask in order to reduce the potential that you arrive for the test without preparing sufficiently. Being...

Does its coat suit your climate? Is it small enough to live in your apartment or house? Does its energy level suit the amount of exercise you can provide? Careful consideration of these questions will ensure your puppy's well-being and will also impact the happiness of your household. . Puppies love to explore with their mouths. To keep your puppy and house safe, you'll need to take a few precautions.  Remove breakable items from the area where you plan to keep your puppy. Keep all electrical cords raised or covered, and close all low windows. Lock away toxic cleaning supplies/chemicals. Get a trash can that is too tall for him to get into and too heavy to knock over, or store the trash can in a cabinet. Consider getting a folding gate or exercise pen to keep him confined to a certain room or area. The kitchen or bathroom is an ideal place for his bed during the day because those rooms are usually warm and have washable floors. At night, keep your puppy in his crate in your bedroom. This will allow you to hear him during the night, so you will know if he needs to go outside to relieve himself. These are better than glass because they do not chip and stay cleaner. If you have other pets, be sure to give each pet their own food and water bowls to avoid conflict. At feeding time, you will separate them to prevent fighting over food and to ensure each pet gets the nutrition they need. You might consider a crate with a crate pillow, a snuggle nest, or a wicker basket with a lot of towels. Whichever option you choose, make sure it is always soft, clean, comfy, and dry. Have a blanket on hand in case of cool weather. To avoid conflict, each pet should have their own bed. Your puppy will be a ball of boundless energy, so make sure you get plenty of toys, including both chew toys and soft toys. The toys should be sturdy enough to prevent choking hazards. Don't give rawhide to puppies as a toy; use it only as a treat and watch him as he chews. Training treats should be healthy, small, and easily chewed or swallowed....

. Make sure to pick your cooling rack according to the size of the cake you are baking. 10-inches seems to be the largest standard pan size (for bundt cakes and round cakes), so a rack that is at least 10-inches across should serve just about all of your needs. Cooling racks are an essential tool for any baker as they help your cake cool evenly and quickly. Here are a few things to consider:  Pick a wire rack that is easy to fit in your dishwasher and in the area you plan to store it. Cooling racks work by allowing air to circulate under your cake, which helps prevent condensation which could make the bottom soggy. Once your cake is fully cooked, use oven mitts to carefully take it out of the oven and place the pan directly on your cooling rack. If you are cooling a cheesecake, you can simply turn off the oven and leave your cake inside to cool for about an hour. This allows the delicate cake to cool slowly, which will help prevent it from cracking. At this point, it is a good idea to check your cooking instructions for cooling time guidelines. Cooling time can vary considerably depending on the type of cake you are baking. As a rule of thumb, expect to cool your cake on the rack for 10-15 minutes. The cake pan should be resting on the rack to ensure that the bottom of the cake pan has airflow. Remove your cake pan from the cooling rack and place it on the counter. Use a sharp knife or butter knife and run it along the edges of the pan between the rim of the pan and the cake. Be sure to keep your knife vertical so you don't accidentally cut into the sides of your cake. Run the knife around the edges a couple times to loosen your cake from the pan. Before transferring your cake directly to the cooling rack, you will need to lightly spray your rack with cooking spray. Since your cake will still be slightly warm, placing it on a rack with cooking spray will prevent it from sticking to the wire rack. Hold the cooling rack over the top of the pan and slowly turn the pan upside down. Gently tap the bottom of the...

TL;DR in English: Choose the right cooling rack Remove your cake from the oven. Let your cake sit. Loosen your cake from the pan. Spray your cooling rack. Transfer your cake directly to the rack (optional). Remove your cake from the cooling rack.

You can purchase capos at music stores or online. There are three conventional capos that you can get for the first four frets of the banjo. These include the elastic, clamp, and screw capos. Compare the three different kinds of capos online and choose one that meets your needs and fits in your budget.  Elastic capos are often the cheapest but least exact kind of capo. Clamp capos use a spring to create tension. Screw capos allow you to adjust the tension of the capo and are the most popular for banjos. A Shubb sliding capo is made specifically for banjos and can slide up and down the neck past the fourth fret. Shubb capos should be professionally installed by a luthier or banjo professional because they have to be screwed into the neck of the banjo. Railroad spikes are placed in holes that are punched into the frets under the fifth string and can be used as a capo for your fifth string. Take your banjo to a luthier or professional that works on musical string instruments so they can install it for you. Typically railroad spikes are installed between the seventh and tenth frets.

TL;DR in English: Get a traditional capo for the first four frets. Use a sliding capo for the fifth string. Get railroad spikes installed past the fourth fret.

Traditionally, ordained Christian ministers have felt a strong pull to become spiritual leaders. They are members of a particular Christian sect or church and believe that they are meant to serve their communities in the name of God. Services performed by ordained Christian ministers include:  Performing baptisms.     Officiating weddings and funerals.     Providing spiritual counseling.     Working as chaplains.     Working as missionaries.     Founding new churches.    Traditionally-ordained ministers obtain their licenses through bible or seminary schools, which are effectively graduate programs. Like most graduate programs, entrance into theological programs requires a college degree. Depending on the program, candidates will take courses in theology, philosophy, and other courses meant to provide preparation for a life devoted to religious service. A Master of Divinity degree is awarded at the end of the program.  Becoming ordained as a minister through school was the most common path before online ordination became possible. Receiving ordination through school can take several years, and it can be quite expensive. In some cases, a church or religious community will sponsor a member who feels called to ministry. At the completion of the theological program, an ordained minister license will be granted. This grants you the legal ability to perform marriage ceremonies and other services that fall under the purview of ordained ministers. Churches perform their own ordination ceremonies after an application process has been completed. In most cases candidates will be expected to attend additional classes and undergo a presentation and interview process before ordination is granted by church officials.  Ordination with a particular church typically means that the church will employ you for your services. In addition to conducting religious ceremonies, ministers affiliated with churches usually actively serve their communities by visiting the sick, holding educational programs, leading church trips and so on.

That way, if one of them breaks open during shipment, the beer will stay in the plastic bag instead of soaking through the box. Before you seal the bags shut, press out the excess air using your hands. If you're shipping a pack of beer, like a 6-pack, remove all the beers from the pack and bag them individually. The bubble wrap strips should be about 1 foot (30 cm) wide. You can find a roll of bubble wrap at your local packaging store. To roll up the beers, grab one of the plastic bags with a beer in it and lay it on top of a bubble wrap strip. The long side of the beer should be lined up with one of the ends of the strip. Then, grab the edge of the bubble wrap that the beer is next to and roll the beer and bubble wrap down the length of the strip. When you reach the end, wrap 2-3 rubber bands around the bubble wrap and beer to hold the bubble wrap in place. Repeat with all of the beers.

Exercise regularly, just before a stressful situation, or as a response to anger. Research has shown that exercise tells your body to release helpful endorphins that reduce your body’s stress response and elevate your mood. All of these can help you calm down. Exercise of any kind can have the same helpful effects on anger, so do an activity you typically enjoy (such as running, dancing, or walking). For example, if you know you have a stressful business meeting later in the day, take some time in the morning to go for a run. This will reduce stress and tension, so you are not walking into your meeting wound up. Although it sounds odd, counting can actually help to slow you down when you are tempted to explode or have a tantrum. Focus your thoughts away from the situation and on to your counting and breathing. Count to 10, taking a breath with each count and in between each number. Doing this at a slow pace can help you slow down and become calmer. Continue to count if you still feel angry after reaching 10.  When you're angry, your body releases adrenaline which increases your heart rate, makes you feel flushed, and causes other physical signs of anger or arousal.  Counting gives you a chance to slow down and calm your reactions so that you don't act impulsively. Learn to breathe with your diaphragm, the muscle at the lower part of your lungs. Focus on your breathing and take full, deep breaths that fill the entire lung. Breathe in for 5 seconds, then hold for 5 seconds, and release for 5 seconds. Take 2 normal breaths in between each diaphragm breath, so that you do not hyperventilate and repeat the exercise until you feel calmer.  Breathing signals your body to calm down. It does this by releasing neurotransmitters that tell your brain that you’re ok and safe.  When you're angry, adrenaline can increase your breathing rate, making it feel as though breathing is difficult or that you can't get a full breath. Meditation can help you concentrate, reduce your stress levels, and enable self-awareness. All of...

TL;DR in English: Exercise. Count. Do breathing exercises. Meditate.

If you do not have a compost pile and do not need much extra fertilizer for your plants, a third option is available for recycling coffee grounds. Begin by collecting the grounds from your coffee maker into a small container just as you would for the other 2 methods. Because coffee grounds work themselves into the soil so quickly, and because plants consume their available nutrients so readily, the grounds can actually be poured directly onto the ground outside.  This method of recycling coffee grounds is only appropriate if you own a piece of outdoor land. You should avoid dumping coffee grounds onto land that you do not own. When doing this, avoid dumping the grounds so that they bury existing plant growth. Instead, consider pouring the grounds around the bases of trees, which are typically self-mulched and devoid of competing plant life already.

One easy way to peel garlic is to smash it with the side of a chef's knife, then pull off the loosened skin. ince the garlic. Chop the garlic as finely as possible with a large, sharp chef's knife. If you have a zip-locked bag, a meat mallet, and a rolling pin, skip the chopping and scroll down to the end of this section. Sea salt or other coarse-grained salt helps grind the garlic into a paste, and draws out moisture for a softer, juicier result. Scrape the garlic into a small pile. Hold the blunt edge of your knife with both hands, pointing it away from you at a low angle, close to the cutting board. Scrape the knife over the garlic repeatedly until it forms a paste. Occasionally scrape the garlic back into a pile and mince briefly to remove large pieces. If you have the right tools, there's a faster way to turn garlic into a paste:  Drop the peeled garlic and salt into a small plastic baggie. Seal the bag closed. Crush the garlic lightly with a meat mallet, without tearing the bag. Finish the job with a rolling pin. Periodically pick up the bag and squeeze the garlic to the bottom to ensure a smooth paste. Try the paste on garlic bread, toss onto pasta, or add to stir fries. If you do have leftovers, store in the coldest part of your fridge. Discard after three days even if there are no obvious signs of spoilage.

TL;DR in English: Peel the garlic . Add a generous pinch of coarse salt. Chop the garlic into a paste. Pulverize the garlic in a plastic baggie instead. Use immediately for maximum flavor.

A sharpened hoe blade allows you to sever the weeds without having to bend over or crouch. Swing the blade against the weed near the base, then leave the weed to decompose. If vegetables are already growing, a thin-bladed "onion hoe" may be easiest to maneuver without damaging the useful plants.  If the weed already has visible seed pods or seed heads, pull these off before you cut, and discard them in a trash can covered or far away from your garden. A stirrup hoe helps take weeds out easily. It has blades that run parallel to the ground, making it easy to go along and cut weeds down. Hand-pulling weeds can be a slow process, but is often necessary when weeds sprout too close to vegetables to risk swinging a hoe. This also allows you to remove the roots of large weeds as well as the surface plant, preventing the same weed from growing again.  Using a tool such as a gardening trowel or Hori-Hori knife may make this task easier and reduce strain on your hands. Pruning shears are notoriously un-ergonomic, which can causes problems such as arthritis. When choosing pruners, make sure that they fit your hand well and  don't require excessive push to move the blades. For weeds growing next to small crops, press your fingers down on either side of the weed to keep soil in place while pulling.  Removing weeds is easier while the soil is beginning to dry out from a watering. However, avoid walking on or pressing wet soil, which can reduce aeration. Post-emergent herbicides are designed to kill weeds that have already grown. Any type of herbicide should be used cautiously, as they have the potential to kill desirable plants as well, potentially even ones planted in neighboring gardens. Match your herbicide to your type of weed, and check that it does not have any harmful effects on your specific vegetable crops. Use these guidelines to begin your research:  Herbicides containing trifluralin can be used to control grass weeds, but these are banned in the European Union. Herbicides with sethoxidym, including Poast, can...

TL;DR in English: Cut with a sharp hoe. Remove weeds by hand or small tool. Learn about post-emergent herbicides.

There are many different types of study guides, each formatted to suit different subject types and learning styles. Whatever you're reviewing for, there's a study guide not only right for the subject but for your particular needs in learning that subject. Organize the information into the most user-friendly study guide you can.   If you're a visual learner, consider using color-coded sections in your study guides or using idea mapping to draw out the information and make it more quickly-accessible.   If you've got a linear mind, organize the information chronologically, or alphabetically, so you can make learn one thing in a series, and then move on to the next.   If you need to connect to information emotionally to understand it, organize your notes into narrative form to study it better. Translate concepts from math into a story that you can connect to, then organize your study-guide like a short-story you can recite to remember the application of the formulas.  If you can memorize information quickly, use a format that will help you memorize efficiently, whether it be recording yourself reciting vocab words and definitions, then listening back on your iPod throughout the day, or by creating flash cards and testing yourself regularly. Concept maps involve writing each main idea into a separate box, which is connected according to their chronology or importance. Then, connect branches of associated information stemming from the main ideas. This study guide method provides a good visual of how subject material fits together to make a whole concept.  An example of a concept map for a history chapter on space flight might involve "The Space Race" as the main heading, which would branch off into separate categories for The United States and the Soviet Union, with trailing data about specific missions, projects, successes, and failures. A formal outline, as you're sometimes expected to write for an essay assignment, is an example of a concept map. If outlining works for you and organizes information in a way you...

Using a toothbrush or sponge, wash the burner grates that were soaking in the sink. Most of the grime will wipe away fairly easy since they have been soaking for several minutes. Set the clean burners off to the side. Using the same toothbrush or sponge, wash the burner caps. Set them off to the side with the burners. With fresh, warm water, thoroughly rinse the burner grates and caps. Be sure rinse away all of the soapy residue. If the burners still aren’t clean after using dish soap, try a heavy-duty degreaser instead. Set the burner grates and caps on a mat to air dry. If you want the pieces to dry quickly, wipe them dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. Once the parts are completely dry, place them back on the stovetop in their proper positions. Your stove is now ready for use once again.

Your own skin is probably the first place you would think to put perfume, but not every area is equally good for application. You will want to pick areas that are warmer, like pulse points, which help to produce the scent more strongly, as well as areas where the perfume can naturally pool as it settles. Good areas include:  Behind the ears. Your wrists. Inside elbows and behind the knees. The belly button. Your decolletage and collarbone. You can also try using more unusual areas, like down your back, the backs of your hands, your calves, and even your ankles. Are you hoping to get close and comfortable on your date, maybe even take it to the next level? Getting a mouthful of alcohol may put the brakes on your momentum; you want your date to smell, not taste, your perfume. Consider the areas where your date might put their mouth, such as your neck, cheek, or the back of your hand, and avoid placing perfume directly in those areas. Choose areas adjacent to where they may be putting their face, such as the ears or hair (more on that soon). As anyone who has smelled dirty laundry can attest, scent particles cling onto fibers. As mentioned before, heat helps to activate the scent of a perfume; your natural body heat will warm your clothing, making it even more ideal for spray to settle. Use this to your advantage by spraying perfume onto your clothing.  Spraying around the collar area of a shirt or dress or the back of your top is a strategic place as this portion of your clothing may be close to their nose should they hug or kiss you. This method of application is especially helpful for people hoping to get intimate on their date as you can still smell nice without risking your partner tasting something unsavory. Applying perfume to your hair is not universally recommended due to the drying qualities of alcohol, but careful application should not cause much damage. This area is a good choice for the same reasons your clothing is: perfume particles will settle onto hair fibers and stay there. Additionally, your...

When breaking in your boots, don’t put on a pair of dress socks just because they happen to be handy. Wear socks that are appropriate for hiking so your boots conform to your feet exactly as they will be dressed when you actually go hiking. If you don’t already own some, buy yourself a pair of thick socks made of wool or synthetic fibers, since thicker socks will last longer and these materials won’t retain as much sweat or moisture as cotton. Also wear any insoles or arch supports that you might use for hiking. Treat your new hiking boots like indoor slippers for the first few days after purchase. Pad around inside the house while you cook meals, do chores, or simply pace back and forth from room to room. Avoid going outside or doing anything particularly messy or physically intensive. Keep your boots as a pristine as possible in case you need to return them if they continue to cause any severe discomfort after the first few days. If padding around the house doesn’t cause any excessive pinching, rubbing, or other pain, expand your horizons. Take your boots outside for short excursions. Wear them down the block to the corner shop when you need to pick something up or take a stroll around the block each night. Wherever you go, be sure to keep it short at first so that you continue to break your boots in gradually. Your boots need time to break in, so keep your walks short at first so you can better identify sources of pain. Venturing too far too soon may cause blisters that won’t necessarily appear later on once your boots are properly broken in. For now, note where your boots seem to pinch or rub your feet the most. Pay attention to these areas over the coming days to keep tabs on how much or how little the situation improves.

Different forms of nerve strain or damage affect distinct parts of the hand. Your doctor can perform tests to accurately diagnose nerve compression or damage. They’ll examine your forearms and hands, have you move your hands and fingers and, if necessary, perform an x-ray.  Numbness in the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers (and the side of your palm with these fingers) is a symptom of carpal tunnel syndrome. If your ring and little fingers become numb when you bend your elbow, cubital tunnel syndrome could be the issue. Numbness or pain concentrated at the top of the hand could be due to a compressed radial nerve. Every 20 to 30 minutes, hold your hands in a prayer pose about 6 inches (15 cm) in front of your chest. Keeping your hands in the prayer position, raise your elbows until you feel a stretch in your forearms. Hold the stretch for 10 to 20 seconds, then relax.  You can also extend your right arm in front of you with your wrist bent, so the back of your hand faces you. Use your left hand to gently pull your right fingers toward you so you feel a stretch in your right forearm. Hold the stretch for 10 to 20 seconds, then switch arms. Fill one bucket with cold water and another with warm (not hot) water. Soak your hands and forearms in the cold water for 2 to 3 minutes, then soak them in the warm water. Continue alternating until you've held your hands in each bucket 3 times. Try soaking your hands in cold and warm water 3 to 4 times daily, or whenever you feel numbness or tingling. For carpal tunnel syndrome, wear wrist braces to keep your hands and forearms in neutral positions while you sleep. Ask your doctor to recommend the right brace for your particular issue. Bending the elbow aggravates cubital tunnel syndrome, so wearing elbow braces at night is best for this condition. Ask your doctor to recommend the best brace. You can also wrap a towel around the appropriate joint, then use tape to secure it. If numbness, tingling, and pain interfere with your daily activities, a corticosteroid shot...

TL;DR in English: Tell your doctor which parts of your hands are affected. Take frequent stretch breaks during repetitive activities, such as typing.

One of the best parts of postcard writing is picking out the postcard image. Think about the person you are sending the postcard to and decide which image they would like best. Postcards can be found at any souvenir store, grocery stores, or on the streets of popular tourist areas. Flip the postcard over. You will see a vertical line down the middle of the card, with a blank space on the left, and a lined space on the right. Write your desired recipient's address on the lined space to the right of the line. This includes their full name, address, area code, state, and country.  Do not write on the front of the postcard, as the postal service won’t look for information on the front. Make your writing as clear and legible as possible. Use a ballpoint pen rather than a felt tip pen; it is less likely to smear if it gets wet. Purchase stamps from the country you’re in from banks, post offices, or gas stations. If you are abroad and need a stamp from your home country, you can order them online. Lick the stamp and place in within the outlined box on the top right of the postcard.  You can purchase stamps at any post office. Make sure that you put the stamp in the back of the postcard in the top-right corner. Putting it anywhere else increases the chances of the card getting lost. This is a great way for people to reminiscence later on in life when revisiting your postcard. Under or above the date, you can also write the city or specific place you are writing from. For example, you could write:  July 4, 2017 Grand Canyon, Arizona A greeting will make your recipient feel special and appreciated, while also giving the postcard a heartfelt, letter-esque feel. Writing the greeting on the top left of the back side of the postcard, leaving room for the note below it.  If you want to be formal, write: “Dear, (name)." If you want to be less formal, you could start with “Hello, (name)!" Postcards are exciting because of the restrictions that are put on your writing, as the message must be short and sweet. While writing on...

TL;DR in English: Pick out a postcard that represents you or your travels. Write a message on the back of the postcard, on the left side. Place the stamp on the top right of the postcard.

Ask the loved one who is undergoing the dying process which alternative would be most appealing to him or her, and do your best to accommodate wishes. Bear in mind that costs and level of care differentiate with each option, and should be explored in greater detail before making a final decision. However, unless your loved one asks about it, do not tell them. They may think that you are "doing them in."

TL;DR in English:


Highlight important words and phrases. Write in the margins. Review your annotations.

When you learn that you’ll be chairing an upcoming meeting, one of the first things you should do is to spend a little time talking to the people who will be attending (especially high-ranking or important people). Ask them if there’s anything they’d specifically like to discuss at the meeting. Take note of their answers and use them to guide you when you write your agenda. Asking your attendees about what they’d like to discuss is a smart move not only because it makes it easier to write an agenda, but also because it engages them in the meeting process before it’s even begun. People are more likely to attend and pay attention during meetings if they know that issues important to them will be addressed. A meeting agenda can be a valuable tool not just for a meeting’s chairperson, but also for the guests in attendance. Agendas contain valuable information about the meeting like when it will be, where it will take place, and who will be in attendance. Most importantly, they also outline all of the intended topics of discussion, allowing everyone to prepare. Send your meeting out in advance of the meeting itself — the more important your meeting is, the earlier you should send it. One thing that your agenda should definitely contain is an approximate time limit for each topic of discussion. Having a rough schedule outlined beforehand makes it much easier to keep your meeting on-track. Though some items on your agenda may run long (and others may run short), a schedule makes it much easier to keep track of these items and adjust accordingly. The people who attend your meeting may not be up-to-speed on all of the topics you plan to discuss — some may not have attended past meetings, while others may have simply forgotten. As the meeting chair, it’s a good idea to know the history of discussion thus far. Try talking to people who attended previous important meetings to learn any important unfinished business that you should address in your meeting. You may also want to request the minutes of past meetings from an...

It's very possible that you have an old bandana lying around the house, but if not, visit your local craft or fabric store and purchase a bandana. You can get them in almost every color, and they should be all the same size. Lay out the material on a table or on the floor and make a square with the material that is 22 inches by 22 inches.  Most bandanas come shaped as a square and usually have measurements close to 22 inches by 22 inches. However, if your bandana is larger than this, simply fold down each side until it measures 22 inches. You can use a sewing machine or needle and thread to sew each side of the bandana if it is too large. This will keep the sides in place and make it easier to construct a blindfold. You can also glue down the sides with tacky glue, hot glue, or simply fold them over and readjust them anytime they start to become unfolded.

Annotating is a way to keep your mind active as you read. Highlighting or underlining important words and phrases can help you to retain more of what you read and it will also make it easier to go back to find important passages later on. Make sure that you always read with a highlighter and pencil on hand. Underline or highlight things that are confusing, interesting, important, or that you want to ask questions about in class. Writing in the margins can help you to draw connections between concepts and register your reactions to the text. Keep a pen handy at all times and jot down your ideas and questions in the spaces next to the text.  You can write whatever you want in the margins. For example, you can sum up your reactions to passages by using words like, “interesting” or “confusing.” You can also use sticky notes to expand on your annotations. This is a good option if you have a lot to say about what you have just read or if you cannot write in the text, such as because it is a library book or rental. After you finish annotating a text, go back over your annotations and read through them. As you do so, write any questions that you have about your annotations or anything that you’d like to bring up in class. For example, if you underlined something because it does not make sense, then you might turn it into a question, such as “How does annotating help you to retain more of what you read?” For simple questions, you can search for an answer to this question on your own. For more complex questions, you can ask your instructor to clarify for you.

Gather the necessary materials. Drill a hole 10 inches (25 cm) down from the top of the 2 in × 4 in (5.1 cm × 10.2 cm) piece of wood. Attach eye hooks to the front of swing arm. Put the nail into the middle of the front end of the swing arm. Attach a counterweight to the back end of the swing arm. Attach the sling pouch to the arm.

Keep the water just below lukewarm (cool, but not tooth-chattering cold) and relax for 10 to 20 minutes. If showering, use a gentle stream of water, not a full blast, to avoid irritating your skin. Air dry or pat gently with a towel to avoid abrading the skin.  Avoid using soap, bath oils, or other detergents as you bathe or shower. Any such products can irritate your skin and possibly make the effects of the sunburn feel even worse. If you have blisters forming on your skin, take a bath instead of showering. The pressure from the shower might pop your blisters. Dampen a washcloth or other piece of fabric with cold water, and lay it over the affected area for 20 to 30 minutes. Re-wet it as often as you need to. Over-the-counter drugs such as Ibuprofen or aspirin can lessen the pain, and may or may not reduce inflammation. Do not give aspirin to children. Instead, opt for something that is specifically marketed as a child's dose of acetaminophen. Child's Motrin (Ibuprofen) is a good option due to the possible anti-inflammatory effect. Drugstores also sell sprays meant to relieve red and itchy skin. Sprays that contain benzocaine, lidocaine or pramoxine have a numbing effect that may help with the pain. However, as these are potential allergens, it may be best to test the medication on an unaffected patch of skin first and wait a day to see if it causes itchiness or redness.  These sprays should not be used on children 2 years of age or younger without a doctor's advice. Sprays containing methyl salicylate or trolamine salicylate may endanger children 12 and under, and capsaicin can be dangerous for people 18 and under, or for anyone with a chili allergy. Baggy t-shirts and loose cotton pajama pants are ideal clothing items to wear while you're recovering from a sunburn. If you can't wear loose clothing, at least make sure your garments are cotton (this fabric allows your skin to "breathe") and fit as loosely as possible. Wool and some synthetic fabrics are especially irritating, due to scratchy fibers or...

Everyone is familiar with the cat’s meow. This all-purpose “talk” can mean many things, but primarily it means “pay attention to me as I want something from you.” Your cat may want food, attention, petting or may even be signaling that it doesn't want to be touched. Cat owners soon learn to interpret the nuances of their cat’s meowing knowing precisely what’s on their cat’s mind. After spending some time with your cat, you should be able to understand the difference between your cats meows depending on a variety of variables, such as the time of day or the location of your cat when it meows. Purring is another familiar cat vocalization. While not all cats purr when they are happy, it is a good sign if you are actively petting your cat and it begins to purr. Just don't be discouraged if your cat never purrs, it might just not be in its vocabulary. Contented cats purr, but cats in distress have also been known to purr. It is believed that purring in these situations, such as when a cat is ill, is a way for the cat to “call” for help. Hissing and growling is understood to mean that a cat is afraid and/or angry. NEVER pick up a hissing or growling cat, as it may display aggression and bite you. Leave hissing or growling cats alone if you can or approach them cautiously with a thick towel and leather gloves if you absolutely need to pick them up.

TL;DR in English: Learn what your cat's meows mean. Understand your cat's purring. Learn what your cat is trying to communicate when it hisses or growls.

A trebuchet works with a counterweight system. In addition to the materials listed, you will need something heavy to serve as a counterweight. You can use some hand weights, a brick, or a small bucket that you can fill as needed to vary the weight. To build the launching arm of the trebuchet, you will need the following supplies:  Hammer 2 in × 4 in (5.1 cm × 10.2 cm) piece of wood, 40 inches (100 cm) long 5 feet (1.5 m) of string 10 in × 6 in (25 cm × 15 cm) piece of cloth to make a pouch 2 eye hooks 1 long thin nail with the head removed This hole needs to be large enough for the dowel rod to fit through and rotate without friction. Measure 10 inches (25 cm) from the top of the 40 in (100 cm) long piece of wood and make a mark. Make the hole at this 10 in (25 cm) mark slightly larger than the diameter of the dowel rod (1 inch (2.5 cm)).  Test the rotation by putting the rod through the 2 in × 4 in (5.1 cm × 10.2 cm) piece of wood. If the 2 in × 4 in (5.1 cm × 10.2 cm) piece of wood rotates without resistance, the hole is large enough. The end closest to the hold is the back end of the swing arm. One eye hook will serve as the attachment point for the string and pouch while the other eye hook will be part of the trigger. Screw the first eye hook into the very end of the swing arm, on the bottom. Screw the second eye hook into the bottom of the swing arm about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the end. Hammer the first eye hook into the end until just the loop of the hook is sticking out. Make sure that the head of the nail has been completely removed. When the trebuchet launches, the string on the nail needs to be able to fly off the nail and it won’t be able to do that if it gets caught on the head. The head can be removed with a Dremel tool.  Hammer the nail into the flat end of the swing arm, approximately in the middle. Bend it slightly forward so that the string will stay on until the trebuchet is launched. The angle of the bend will need to be optimized using trial and error launches. The easiest counterweight to...

Although you can’t bring in coolers, your best bet on saving money throughout the day is to eat your own food. Pack sandwiches and snacks that you can munch on during your time in the park, so that even if you don’t solely eat the food you bring, you won’t be so reliant on purchasing food. It is also good to bring plenty of your own water and liquids, as keeping hydrated will keep you less hungry, and purchasing liquids inside the park can be quite expensive.  Avoid buying food throughout the day if you’re able, especially sugary snacks that will just leave you feeling more hungry afterwards. Set a budget for snacks so that you are forced to avoid spending. Adding a dining plan to your vacation package is a great way to save money on food if you book your vacation through the official Disney site. Doing so can save you up to 20 percent on food over the course of your stay. To find the cheapest options, go to the Vacation Package Guide page. Adjust the “Dining Style” dial to “Counter Service” to filter for the cheaper dining packages.

It’s easy to feel like something is worth buying in the moment, but later on it’s likely that you’ll regret your spur of the moment purchase.  Look for free pins and items around the park that you can keep as souvenirs. A park map that you mark off along the way may work nicely.

Untrained singers often breathe from too high in their chest, compress their throat as they sing, and adopt poor posture that affects their voice. Whenever you sing, stand up straight, place your feet shoulder-width apart, and roll your shoulders back. Breathe deeply from your diaphragm, low in your chest. It's important that you're able to hold the same pitch while you're singing, as well as be able to match your pitch to different notes. To practice this, play different notes on a piano and match your voice to the note. Singing major scales also helps you with your pitch.  To see if you're staying in pitch, record yourself singing a song without the music. Play it back with the instruments and see if your pitch was correct throughout the song. You can also use a pitch pipe to get you started on the first note. You'll likely need to harmonize with others while singing a cappella, and it's also a useful skill to know even if you're singing on your own. Practice harmonizing by singing with others, such as in an a capella group or choir.  Record yourself while you practice harmonizing so that you can play your voice back to see if it goes well with the original sound. Try humming the harmony section of a song while someone else sings the melody. Many a cappella arrangements require certain singers to sing with extended ranges, especially tenors, sopranos, and altos. As you sing through the vocal range you're comfortable with, practice more difficult notes little by little, such as notes that are just above or below your normal range. Singing scales will help you achieve a fuller vocal range.  To determine your vocal range, such as soprano, alto, tenor, or bass, sing each note from low to high and write down the highest note you can comfortably sing as well as the lowest. This is your vocal range. If you need help, download an app like Sing Sharp to help you find your range. Even if you are able to sing all the notes in a song's range, you may need additional practice to keep the sound fluid and soft. You can...

If you want customers to return to your business again and again, it's important that you learn to read your customer base and understand what you offer the market. Why would people choose your place of business over others? Customers return to businesses for one, and hopefully more, of three basic reasons:  The perception that your business offers a deal. The perception that your business offers a service or product that they can't get elsewhere. The perception that your business treats its customers well. Learning to market yourself appropriately and tailor your business to a customer base requires a certain amount of harsh honesty and self-evaluation. Businesses that come off as having identity crises, or an inflated sense of their product are unlikely to succeed. Do you need to modernize? Do you need to stay consistent to avoid losing customers who like your vintage flair? It depends on you and your business.  If you're selling proverbial popsicles in a proverbial Antarctica, it's important to acknowledge that as a challenge that you need to overcome in your business strategy. How can you adapt to develop a more marketable product, or find the market for the product you already make? Compare your product with the competition, and scout them. Putting up a sign that says, "Best coffee in town!" is one thing, but how does your coffee compare with the coffee across town, really? If it really is the best in town, price it accordingly. If not, you need to market it based on value. Most people will try anything once. But to go back, the product or service needs to be especially good, and the customer needs to be sure it will be the same day in and day out. The quality of your service and the value of your offering is far more important than any other aspect of your business. Simply put, customers must like and know they can trust your product, or they will not buy it again, no matter how attentive your staff, no matter how clean your store, and no matter how cheap the product.

There is no reason to run out and go clubbing if you feel your social life is stagnating. Take small steps to build your network of friends, starting by making the most of your current acquaintances. Have a conversation with a co-worker or fellow classmate who you don't normally interact with, reach out to your neighbors, and spend time with someone you don't normally see. You'll be surprised how friendly people will be if you make the effort to talk about something other than work or school.  Take advantage of nearby events, like company get-togethers or after-school events, where there is a natural social connection. Accept invitations, even if you feel a little out of place at first. By showing you are receptive to social settings you open yourself up to future groups of friends.  Things may be awkward at first, but know that this is natural until you know each other a little better. The best way to meet new people is to use the people you already know. If you're going out, encourage your friends to invite a "plus one." Because you already know your friend, you have a natural introduction that can help get over awkward first meetings. Moreover, your mutual friends likely have common interests and hobbies, meaning you are more likely to connect with someone who is a friend of a friend.  Go to your friend's events or parties, especially if you won't know everyone there. Introduce your own friends to get the ball rolling -- bringing an extroverted or interesting friend along signals that you want to meet new people. You don't have to go to a super fancy restaurant if it's not your style. This can lead to shyness and a difficulty fitting in with nearby people. You must go places where you feel good, as it will be easier to find similar people to be friends.  Love outdoor adventure? Head to your local rock wall and ask for a belay partner to make an instant connection. Love music and concerts? Read your local newspaper for live music venues and check out a concert. Love art and culture? Go to small art...

TL;DR in English: Start small by making friends with current acquaintances. Ask your current friends to bring their friends to events. Go places that you feel comfortable. Check out local meet-ups for people with similar hobbies. Join a recreational league or team to meet other people. Go volunteering. Make time in your week for meeting people.

Stationary objects are easier to work with since it's necessary to take a second picture that looks the exact same, though it's possible to take a picture of a person if they hold the same pose for both pictures. Use your left eye to look through the camera’s viewfinder before taking the picture.  A building, food item, or plant are all good examples of a stationary object to use. Use the center focus of the viewfinder to aim while taking the picture. If your camera doesn’t have a viewfinder, like if you’re using a cellphone, this is okay. Instead of using your left eye to look through the viewfinder, now use your right eye to take the photo of your object. It’s important to keep your head stable, only moving the camera from your left eye to your right.  If you’re taking the picture with a camera that doesn’t have a viewfinder, shift the camera over 3 in (7.6 cm), keeping the same focal point, distance, and angle. The picture you took first will be called the left photo and the second picture you took will be the right one. Plug in your camera to a laptop and download both of the photos. Open up Photoshop and pull up both photos. To do this, click “File” and then “Open” before selecting each of the pictures. Use another photo editing software as long as it lets you adjust the red, blue, and green color channels, if desired. Select the right picture and then select the layer. Drag the layer on top of the left picture and then release it. After you do this, one photo that has 2 layers will be left: the right picture is “Layer 1” while the left picture is “Background.” To select the layer, click on the “Layers” tab under the right side bar. Do this by double clicking on “Layer 1” and looking under “Blending Options.” Click on “Advanced Blending” and then “Channels” before finding the “R” standing for “red.” Uncheck the “R” and then press “OK.” Once you do this, the colors in your photo should change to look like the 3D images. Click on the first layer and move it around until the focal point, or the object that...

TL;DR in English: Take a photo of a stationary object looking through a viewfinder. Snap another picture of the object using your other eye in the viewfinder. Upload both pictures to your computer and open them in Photoshop. Copy the right picture over the left picture. Alter the red channel so that the blending option is disabled. Align the pictures so that their focal points match up. Crop the photo and save it on your computer. Put on your 3D glasses and view the photo.

Offering to complete these chores may be another way to earn money.  Offer to mow your lawn, rake leaves, shovel snow, and weed gardens, only if you are capable to do so. If you already provide this kind of service to the neighborhood, explain to your parents that you are trying to expand you client base. And that you will treat your house like any of your clients'.

Many banks sell silver, so you can start your search for a dealer by visiting your local branch. While you should feel free to compare prices, banks often sell their silver at less of a markup than other dealers. Even if your bank does not sell silver, they will likely be able to give you reliable advice on trusted dealers in your community.  You can also search online to see if you can find reliable information about silver dealers in your area. Make sure you’re getting your information from a site you can trust, like that of a known news organization in your area. If you’ve found a dealer you’re interested in but have reservations, contact your local consumer protection bureau or your state’s attorney general to see if any complaints have been filed against the dealer. There are many disreputable dealers of silver online and many scams. Additionally, it can be very expensive to ship silver bars, which greatly adds to the cost of purchasing the bars themselves. The spot price of silver is the current price of the metal on the market. Silver bars are usually sold a little over this price. The more you know about the current price of silver, the surer you can be that you’re getting a good deal for the money you’re paying. If the dealer is asking well over the spot price, be extremely cautious when deciding whether or not to make the purchase. Disreputable dealers will try to make false claims about how valuable their bars are. A typical sign that a dealer is unreliable is that they make claims about the value of their bars that is very out of line with the current silver market. Do not do business with dealers who tell you information that your research proves to be false.

TL;DR in English: Ask your bank about trusted silver dealers near you. Avoid shopping for silver online. Research the spot price of silver before making a deal. Watch out for false claims from dealers.

You can etch just about anything onto wood, from pictures to symbols to words and phrases. Create your design on a sheet of paper or print it off of the computer. If you are just starting out, a simple design with lots of straight lines will be the easiest to engrave. Transfer the design to your project using one of the methods listed below. You can design and cut your own stencil, or you can buy one from the store. Place the stencil over the wood where you want the design to go. Secure it with painter's tape, then trace the designs with a pencil. Put the stencil away when you are done. You can cut stencils out of blank stencil plastic, quilter's template plastic, contact paper, cardstock, or even freezer paper. Place the graphite paper onto the wood, graphite-side-down. Secure it with painter's tape, then sketch out your design on top of the paper. Remove the graphite paper hen you are done; your design should be imprinted on top of the wood. If you printed your design from the computer, coat the back of the paper with graphite, then use it as directed above. This is the quickest and easiest way to transfer your design onto the wood. It requires a precise and steady hand, however. While it is possible to erase mistakes from wood, the less erasing you have to do, the better.

TL;DR in English: Choose your design. Trace designs using stencils if you want something easy. Use graphite paper if you want to transfer a custom design. Draw your design directly onto the wood with pencil if you are a good artist.

When you talk with them, don't get super excited or start acting weird. Just keep calm. They're a normal person just like you. Act natural and they'll find it much easier to interact with you. Greet them every now and then, at first warmly, then a bit more flirtatiously. Say hi in the halls or talk to them a bit. Smile at your crush and make eye contact, but don't be creepy about it. For example, if you do not know your crush very well, get to know him/her slowly (Asking them for the time, talking about a book they are reading, etc.). If they are a friend, start flirting slightly. When conversing with your crush, make sure that you spend at least as much time listening as you do talking. Don't send them a bunch of notes or hang around after school and wait for them. Don't get their phone number from other people or do any kind of stalking. This will make them not want to talk with you or spend any time with you. Think about how your actions will really look to them, especially if they don't share your feelings.

This will help you to be physically tired at night. Your body will also release endorphins which will calm you emotionally.  Exercise can also wake your body up, so it is best to do it earlier in the day. If you can chose between going to the gym in the morning and in the evening, try going in the morning. Don't exercise less than 4 hours before going to bed. Adults between 18-64 years of age should get at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise every week for at least 10 minutes at a time.  Make sure children that have trouble sleeping get enough exercise. This will help them to be tired at night. Caffeine-free teas that contain chamomile or valerian can help start the process of relaxing you before bed. Look for teas containing these calming ingredients or teas labeled for "sleepy time." This is a great way to clear your mind and relax your body so you can fall asleep. Once you are in bed and in a comfortable position:  Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Close your eyes and focus on feeling your breath as it moves through your body. Visualize its path through your mouth and nose, into your lungs, and back out again. Notice where you carry tension in your body. As you exhale, consciously relax those areas. If your thoughts return to your worries, acknowledge them and then focus again on your breathing. In this method you give your mind something to focus on other than the stresses of daily life. What works for you will be highly personal. It might be a favorite place, an imaginary location, doing an activity that you enjoy, or telling yourself a story.  Slowly imagine the scene in as much detail as you can. For example, if you are imagining a beach, visualize the waves, listen to them crashing onto the shore, hear the seagulls calling, and image how the saltwater smells. Feel the breeze blowing and the warmth of the sun.  If you find yourself returning to the stresses of your daily life, remind yourself that you will deal with it tomorrow and refocus on the imagery. It may take...

Every music genre has its own rules regarding beats. Know what you're writing for and how those beats are usually structured. This is what gives a particular type of music its "sound". Start off with something very basic: four beats per measure (a sort of musical sentence), and eight measures long. This will give you a reasonable structure to start with. When the beat gets to the end of eight measures, it should be able to loop back to the beginning and sound okay. For a beginner there are two ways to do this:  Have very short, identical beat sections (da da da DA! da da da DA! etc.).     Have a general section which builds in the final measure and crashes back down to the basic beat of the first measure (think that drummer hitting all of his drums really fast before going back to a normal beat).    This will provide the main "beat" for your loop. Think of it as the baseline for your beat. A note on every fourth beat should do the trick. This will be the more noticeable drumming beat. You will need to come up with a pattern for this, usually by messing around (sorry, even the pros have to mess around until they find something that sounds good). Once you've got a basic structure from the bass line and the melody, you can add in effects. These are occasional instruments which add just a little flavor to your beat. Don't add in like forty instruments. This will just make your beat sound way too busy. Remember: the beat is only background noise to make the real music sound better. You want to feature your song, not the beat.

Knees should be bent. Start slowly, at first, for safety. If you want to turn clockwise, you will be sliding on your left foot. If you want to turn counterclockwise, you will be sliding on your right foot. Your foot should be perpendicular to the direction you are traveling. This will create friction against the floor. Hold this position until you come to a stop.  Straighten the leg and angle the wheels so they slide on the floor. This friction is what will cause you to stop. Keep the other leg bent at the knees as the skate rotates approximately 180 degrees. All your weight should be on this leg.

Take a good, long look at your financial situation. Review your expenses, savings, investments, and debt. If your financial picture isn't as pleasant as you'd like, make a personal commitment to improving your relationship with money. Admitting that things aren't all that great is a necessary step, as it's hard to make changes if you're in denial about your habits. The best way to get your finances under control is by knowing where every single coin is going. Track your spending for a while before mapping out a feasible budget for you and your household.  Start by writing out how much income you have coming in and how much your monthly expenses are. Then, look at the difference and make adjustments as needed. For example, if you are hoping to save more, you might cut back on your expenses or get a part-time job to bring in more income. A budget isn't a “set it forget it” kind of thing. You'll need to see if you're spending too much or if your money is going to the right places and then re-adjust regularly. Prioritize your budget around what's most important to you. For example, if you value having a nice home, set money aside for home décor and improvement projects. Simplify your life and cut out expenses wherever you can. For example, do you really need an elaborate cable TV package? Can you save gas money by walking or taking the bus instead? Once you know where you stand financially, set SMART goals for improving your financial picture. Your goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound.  For example, you can't just say you want to reduce frivolous spending. Instead, set a specific goal like “cut spending by 20% within the next 3 months.” Make saving money one of your goals. If you have a cushion for when things get tough, you won't have to worry as much the rest of the time. If you feel overwhelmed about your financial picture, access resources in your local community or online that can help. Many local libraries often sponsor personal finance courses led by trained financial...

When you are training your Great Dane puppy, you should keep your sessions short. They should last no longer than five minutes at first. Your Great Dane puppy will have a very short attention span, so you need to make sure you can keep his attention by having short training sessions. As he gets older, you can increase the length of your sessions. Make sure you stop your training sessions on a positive note. Once you notice your Great Dane puppy getting distracted, go ahead and quit your session. End it by requesting him to do a simple command that you know your Great Dane can perform. This way, you will be able to praise him at the end of the session. This will leave your puppy feeling happy with himself, which will make him a happier dog. Your Great Dane will eventually get used to the treat and reward schedule that you developed in the beginning. When this happens, you should make your schedule and methods much less predictable. Instead of giving a treat every time you Great Dane does something right, skip a few to keep him guessing.  This makes him wonder why he didn't get a treat and will make him work harder in the future to get the next treat or reward. Over time, skip two or three instances that you would typically reward until you are only rewarding every fourth or fifth behavior. This will be far enough apart for him to work for it but close enough together to encourage good behavior. When you reward your Great Dane, try to vary the types of treats you give him. These treats don't have to be food related and can vary depending on your or your dog's mood. Try bites of food, dog treats, praise, or play time with his favorite toy.  Your Great Dane will let you know which activities he likes the best. This may be tugging on his favorite chew toy or eating a bite of his favorite treat. You should also use different treats on different days.

TL;DR in English: Keep training sessions short. End on a positive note. Make treats less predictable. Change up the rewards.

Expect the muscles in your face to affect other neighboring ones whenever they contract or expand. Use this to really feel how your ears move in relation to other facial features. Try to isolate the muscles in and around your ears as you do. As an experiment, raise your hand. Curl your fingers into a fist and squeeze. Most likely you’ll feel the muscles in your forearm tighten without you having to command them to. These may possibly have the strongest and most direct effect on your ears’ muscles. To see how, look to either side of you without turning your head or neck. Concentrate on your ears as you do. Chances are that you will feel one or both pull back. You’ll probably look a little crazy, but go with it and just go nuts with your eyes. Look in all directions, roll them around, or anything else that comes to mind. Feel how each action might tug your ears forward or push them back. If you can raise one eyebrow at a time, do it. If not, raise both. Then furrow your brow like you’re really mad. Alternate between the two and vary speeds. Keep your focus on your ears and how their muscles respond. Grin like you’re the Joker, nice and wide. Lift your cheeks as you do. As before, concentrate on what your ears do in response so you can isolate the muscles there.

TL;DR in English: Locate your ears’ muscles by flexing others. Dart your eyes from side to side. Move your brow muscles up and down. Smile.

Distilled white vinegar can remove white spots on fabric, drains, or porcelain from mineral buildup. Apply plain or dilute with an equal amount of water, scrub away the problem, then rinse. This temporary solution can get tedious if scale builds up quickly. If your water is only slightly hard it might be a cost-effective approach.  Towels can also become stiff due to hard water.
