Before deciding how the season will affect your clothing choices, you should make sure that you understand the wedding’s dress code. Consult the invitation, which will usually make it clear how guests are expected to dress. That way, you won’t dress too formally or casually for the event.  If the invitation says “White Tie”, the wedding has an extremely formal dress code. Women should wear floor length evening gowns, while men are expected to wear a tuxedo with long tails, a white vest, and a black bowtie. If the invitation says “Black Tie”, women can wear a floor length evening gown or a dressy cocktail dress. Men should wear a traditional tux with a cummerbund and bow tie. If the invitation says “Formal” or “Black Tie Optional,” women can wear a floor length dress, a formal cocktail style dress, or dressy separates. Men can wear a traditional tuxedo or a dark suit, white shirt, and tie. If the invitation says “Dressy Casual” or “Semiformal,” women should wear a cocktail dress or a dressy skirt and top. Men should wear a suit. If the invitation says “Festive Attire,” you can have a little more fun with your outfit. Women can wear a cocktail dress in a bold color and pair it with fun accessories, such as a cute hat. Men should wear a suit, but pair it with a fun tie in a bold color or pattern. While you can certainly wear any color that you like no matter what the season, a winter wedding is the perfect opportunity to wear rich, dark colors that fit the season. Black and navy appropriate for winter weddings, but so are jewel tones, such as sapphire, ruby, garnet, emerald, citrine, or amethyst.   Metallic tones such as gold, silver, and bronze, also work well for winter weddings.  Pro tip from wedding planner, Karen Brown: "If you're attending a winter wedding, dress in warm colors like burgundy, brown, purple, gray, and green." While lightweight fabrics such as chiffon and linen are ideal for spring and summer, they’re not the best option for winter weddings. Instead, opt for weighty, textured fabrics that...

TL;DR in English: Consider the dress code. Follow a deep, rich color palette. Choose textured fabrics.

A cowboy's horse is often trained to stand still when the cowboy dismounts and puts one of the reins on the ground.  This is called being "ground-tied." Experienced cowboys develop their own rapport with their horse, and may alter the reins or other elements of the tack. Generally, a cowboy performing ranch work will hold the reins in the left hand and allow them to hang somewhat loosely. This leaves the right hand free for roping cows or other work performed from horseback. Jockeys use the long, looped rein typical in English riding, with rubber grips for increased hold. In a horse race, the jockey pulls low and tight, so that the horse tucks his chin to his chest, in order to collect the horses gait and slow its gallop. This gives both horse and rider balance and allows the jockey a bit of leverage and control.

TL;DR in English: Train your horse to obey ground-tying. Adapt your style for ranch work. Use reins in horse racing.

Draw a horizontal line 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) from the top of the castle for the roof. Make a door arch that is about 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) the height of the keep. Sketch windows along the castle by drawing small arches. Finish the door with some horizontal lines and other decorations. Sketch pennants coming from the top of each tower for optional detail.

If you care at all about the girl and her feelings, then you shouldn’t go around telling your friends, her friends, and anyone you pass in the halls, that you don’t return her feelings. Even if you really don’t like her very much at all as person, you should give her the respect she deserves by telling her the news yourself instead of letting her hear it from someone else.  Put yourself in her shoes — if you really liked a girl, how would it feel to find out that she doesn’t feel the same way from someone else? If her friends ask you if you like her or not, make sure you tell her that you don’t return her feelings instead of having her hear it from one of her friends. Another thing you should try to avoid is telling the girl how you feel when she’s surrounded by people. Though you may think it’s easier to just go up to her at a party or when she’s talking to a bunch of her friends, this will actually catch her off guard and will make her much more upset than if she were alone and had time to process what happened. Though it may be hard to get her completely alone, do the best you can to keep your news private so you cause as little pain as you can. You don’t want her to get extra embarrassed in front of her friends and your friends. Respect her feelings and her privacy. Another mistake guys make when they tell a girl they don’t like her is to lead her on because they feel bad about saying the truth. If you don’t mean it, then don’t say something like, “I’m just not ready for a relationship right now, but maybe we can date in the future” or “You’re the perfect girl for me but I just can’t let myself fall in love” or “I just need some time to get over someone right now.” Though you may think that this softens the blow, it actually will prolong her pain, and you should avoid making any declarations you don’t mean just because you think it’ll make the conversation easier. Make it clear that you don’t have romantic feelings for her and that you won’t have them at a future date, either. The sooner she knows this,...

TL;DR in English: Don’t tell other people before you tell her. Don’t tell her in public. Don’t lead her on. Don’t insult her when you reject her. Don’t make stupid excuses. Don’t drag it on.

It can be draining to listen to complaints. It can also make the conversation socially awkward. The next time a friend starts complaining, shift the focus.  Maybe your aunt complains about your uncle's busy work schedule. Try saying, "I understand you've been busy, too. Tell me all about your new book club!" When you redirect the conversation, you are demonstrating that you would like to talk about something else. Just make sure to change the subject to something more neutral. Avoid potentially negative topics. For example, if you have a friend who constantly complains about work, don't bring up the subject. Instead, talk about a book you both recently finished. Maybe your friends constantly use you as a sounding board. If people regularly complain to you, that means they see you as someone who can be trusted. But it can also be emotionally exhausting for you.  Let your friends know that you need to set some boundaries. Try saying, "Sara, I'm always here for you. But sometimes I'd like to talk about my own life when I'm with you." Maybe your friend has problems that make you uncomfortable. Don't be afraid to make that clear. For example, maybe your friend regularly complains about her disappointing sex life. Try saying, "Sheryl, would you mind if we change the subject? That kind of personal detail makes me uncomfortable." It is important to explain to your friends and family that it hurts you when they complain all of the time. You can use "I" statements to express your feelings and you can also ask the person who is complaining to rephrase his or her feelings using "I" statements.  An "I" statement focuses on the feelings or ideas of the person talking, rather than the person who is listening. Promoting "I" statements in your interactions with others may help you to feel less stressed by the complaints that you hear. When you live with someone who is constantly complaining, it can make you feel like he or she is blaming you for everything that is wrong in the house. Instead of stating, "I'm sick of hearing...

TL;DR in English: Change the subject. Set boundaries. Promote "I" statements. Deal with an elderly person who complains often. Cope with a complaining child. Spend time in groups.

Measure down from the walls, towers, and keep. Make a separate line across each part. These lines will add more depth and detail to your castle.. These lines make the roof of the castle look more distinct. They also help outline the upper walkways, which you can add more detail to later. Draw it in the center of the keep. Make sure its edges are an equal distance from the towers to the left and right. Sketch an upside-down U-shape to create a basic door.  Change the height of the door depending on your design. You could make it big, about 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm) the height of the keep, and it will still look good. A big door might make your castle look even harder to break into! If you’re drawing a castle from the side, the door may not be visible at all. Keep in mind the angle you have chosen for your drawing. People need some way to look out of the castle, so add a couple of windows along the front. Try drawing a pair of windows above the door, keeping them about 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) from the top. Place a single window in the center of each tower section and then 3 more on the outer walls.  To draw simple windows, make them the same shape as the door. Draw a small, horizontal line, then draw an upside-down U-shape over it. The window positioning, size, and shape can vary a lot. It’s your design, so draw them how you want them! The simplest way to make the door stand out is with a series of lines consistently spaced out across its width. Try measuring about 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm) from the edge of the door. Then, draw a straight line from top to bottom. Keep doing this until you have run out of room.  To ensure these lines are spaced out more evenly, measure the width of the door first. Take the measurement across the bottom or middle part of the door where it is widest. For additional decoration, you could draw a pair of thin wooden bars running across the door’s width. Try placing them 1⁄3 in (0.85 cm) of the way from the top and bottom edges. You could also draw an arch around the door to make it look like it has a wood...

There are different forms of film criticism. The most common form is the review, which acts as a recommendation or warning for people who haven’t yet seen the film. These are a few hundred words and focus on evaluating the film--saying whether it is excellent, good, mediocre, or poor.  An academic article is more formal than a review, and much longer. It is less focused on opinion, and assumes the reader has seen the film. A critical essay is less formal and more opinionated than an academic article, but more formal than a review. Don’t feel pressured to choose a particular form of criticism and stick to it. Many film critics write in all three forms, or blend different forms! A film critic should not merely describe the plot, scenes, music, and style of the film they are studying, but also be able to analyze these elements. To analyze a film, think about how different elements work together and the effect they produce.  For example, you might observe that a director uses a lot of dark colors in his film. Through analysis, you might conclude that this use of color mirrors the dark emotions of the main character. Critical essays and academic articles focus on description and analysis, while reviews usually do not. A critic should be able to interpret a film, or determine its meaning. Think about the claims a film is making. What message is the director trying to convey? Different critics may have different interpretations of the same film.  A film critic might interpret the film Snow White as a commentary on the pitfalls of vanity. Critical essays and academic articles offer interpretations, whereas reviews sometimes do, but often don't. Evaluation is the most important aspect of a movie review. When you evaluate a film, you make a judgment about its quality. Is it an excellent film, a mediocre film, or a bad film? Base your evaluation on your understanding of film as an art form.  A critic might offer the evaluation that Snow White is one of the best animated films of its time. Reviews focus heavily on...

TL;DR in English: Learn about the different forms of criticism. Analyze the film. Interpret the film. Evaluate the film. Distinguish between preferences and critical judgement.

There are kits available for detecting the type and concentration of both of the two main compounds (or “cannabinoids”) found in marijuana, THC and CBD. In this case, you’ll want to choose a kit that looks for THC in particular. A combination kit that tests for both THC and CBD will also give you the information you’re looking for, though the results may be slightly more difficult to interpret.  You should be able to pick up a cannabinoid test kit at your local clinic or dispensary. If you don’t have one of these places in your area, try looking online. Home test kits typically sell for between $20-100, depending on the level of precision you’re looking for. Running a quick test will make it possible to find out approximately how much THC is in the strain you’re using. This can be useful if there was no medicinal information on display when you bought the product, or if you want to verify the contents on your own to determine the best dosage.  Only test one type of cannabis at a time. Make sure the strain you’re testing hasn’t been in contact with any other strains—this could throw off your reading. In most places where marijuana is legal, vendors are required by law to provide the cannabinoid content for the strain they sell. However, this is not always the case. Home testing is a good way to learn more about a certain strain before you put it in your body. Home test kits are relatively simple to use, but they all work a little bit differently. Look over the included instruction booklet or procedural summary on the back of the box to learn exactly how to conduct the test. Otherwise, there’s a chance that the results might not be accurate. Most kits contain multiple tests, which can give you a second chance if you make a mistake the first time around. Separate out roughly ⅕ gram and drop it onto the bottom of the vial. It only takes a minimal amount to achieve accurate results. The kit you’re working with should specify the exact amount of cannabis you’ll need to use.  Break up large clumps to allow the...

When installing floating engineered hardwood on a concrete floor, it’s best to do so on top of an underlayment. This will prevent the flooring from moving and also eliminate a crunching sound as you walk on the floor.Underlayment is a hard, thin, hard layer of foam, wood, or cement board. You can even use plywood, which can be nailed into place along the edges. Most manufacturers require a certain amount of space between the edge of the flooring and the wall. This space varies by manufacturer, but is usually around 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm). Your hardwood might come with spacers, or you can purchase your own from most home improvement stores. Each board will have a groove on one edge and a tongue on the other. When placed together, this allows the hardwood to snap together with no space between boards. Apply wood groove adhesive to the groove in each piece of wood. Lay it on the floor and then insert the tongue of the next board. As you lay down each board and insert the tongue of one board into the groove of the next, set a tapping block on the end. Use a hammer or mallet to gently tap the tapping block to ensure each board is snug against the previous one. Once you tap the flooring together to ensure a snug fit, some glue might squeeze up between the boards. Immediately wipe this excess glue away with a damp rag. Otherwise it will be almost impossible to get off. Every 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) on each row, connect one row to the row after it with painters’ tape. This keeps the rows secure and prevents them from moving. You won’t have room to get a tapping block and hammer between the last row of flooring at the wall. Instead, place the tapping block against the last row of flooring and then use a flat bar to pull it snug. Apply glue to the edge of the trim that will butt up against the last row of flooring. Carefully lay the trim on the subfloor, then press it against the edge of the last row of flooring.

TL;DR in English: Install underlayment if you don’t already have it. Set up spacers along the walls. Apply glue to the groove of the board. Use a tapper block and hammer to ensure a snug fit. Wipe up any excess glue as you go. Use painters tape to secure each row. Use a flat bar to pull the last row of flooring against the one before it. Install the trim.

To prevent injury, you should stretch before doing this exercise. Stretching will loosen your muscles and enable you to do this exercise more fluidly.  Start stretching by standing up, with your feet spread shoulder length apart. Then, bend to touch your toes on each foot, and hold for 10 seconds. Alternatively, you can stretch sitting down. Sit on the floor with your legs spread, similar to a V position. Reach for your toes on the left foot, right foot, and then reach as far as you can in the middle, and hold for 10 seconds. To start the Hindu push-up, get into a normal, starting push-up position. With your knees bent and touching the ground, place your hands on the ground directly under your shoulders (your arms should be straight). Then, slowly remove your knees from the floor and dig your toes into the ground to stabilize the lower half of your body. You should be in a high plank position.  For beginners, place your hands and feet a little farther than shoulder-width apart.  More advanced trainees can keep their hands and feet closer together for a more intense workout. Once you are in the starting push-up position, begin to raise your backside up into the air. As you raise your backside into the air, keep your arms, legs, and back straight. At this point, your eyes should be looking at your feet. In this position, you will look like an upside down V. This V position is essentially the starting position, and you will return to this position after you complete each push-up.

TL;DR in English: Stretch before doing the Hindu push-up. Get into a starting push-up position. Raise your backside into the air.

Visit an ATM that is in a well-lighted area, or one that is monitored by surveillance cameras or security personnel. This is true of both indoor ATMs and drive-up ATMs. If possible, try to use during daylight hours. Drive up ATMs are often safer than walk-up ATMs because of the privacy and safety of your vehicle and locked doors. Before using your card, be vigilant and look around for anyone who may arouse your suspicion. If you feel the least bit apprehensive, avoid using that particular ATM and search for a safer option.  If using a drive-up ATM, keep your engine running, keep your car doors locked, and keep all windows rolled up (except the one you are using). At a walk-up ATM, always lock your car doors and take your keys with you. Never leave the car running. Some ATMs require that you use your card to open the door to gain access to the ATM. Avoid letting anyone follow in behind you, and make sure the door is completely closed behind you when in the vestibule. Prepare all transactions before going to the ATM. Have your card ready so you won’t have to fumble around with your purse or your wallet. Also, if you’re making a deposit, have all checks endorsed and have the envelope sealed if you’re using one. Never share your PIN information with bank personnel, strangers, or anyone not associated with the account. When typing in your PIN, use your free hand to cover the keyboard. Some ATMs come equipped with screening devices but you can never be too safe. When withdrawing money from an ATM, be sure to place your card, money, and receipt in a secure place such as your wallet or purse before leaving the ATM. Discreetly count your cash to ensure you have the correct amount and store it quickly.

Tar can leave stains on your skin even after you remove it. Scrubbing your skin gently can remove any excess tar or staining from it. Gently rub a clean washcloth or soft scrubber brush over stains or lingering bits of tar. Then cleanse your skin and rinse it with warm water. Repeat the scrubbing process if necessary. Using a gentle circular motion, rub a pumice stone over any tar or stains. Use a mild soap together with the pumice stone if you like. Then rinse the area with warm water and pat it dry with a clean towel. This can easily and effectively remove any lingering tar or stains on your skin. If you have tar or stains that are particularly difficult to remove, use an exfoliating scrub on your skin. You can buy or make your own exfoliator.

Before any thing else, if you plan on getting up close and personal with espresso machines, makers or espresso beverages as a lifelong hobby, you'll need to know the terms that go with them. There are many terms associated with coffee making and drinking but here are a few that every espresso aficionado should be aware of:  BAR: This is the pressure rating that you'll find on most espresso machines. Barista: This is the person responsible for operating the espresso/coffee machine. It's Italian in origin. Breve: When someone asks for a breve, it's simply using steamed half and half or skimmed milk rather than regular milk. Coffee Pack: This refers to the tamped volume of coffee grinds in a filter basket before the shot of espresso is brewed. Demitasse: This is the cup that holds a traditional shot of espresso, namely a 3-ounce (or smaller) cup. Although these can be made from any range of food grade materials, the porcelain type is the most preferred. They need to be thick to retain heat. Dosage: The dosage means the amount of ground coffee that makes up a shot of espresso. It is usually measured as 7 grams per 1.5 ounce single espresso shots. Double: This is one option for ordering an espresso or the pour of the espresso. This is usually between 2.5 and 3 ounces of espresso total volume. Espresso: Another Italian word for the drink made using a pump or lever espresso machine, from 7 grams (+/- 2 grams) of finely ground coffee, producing 1-1.5 ounces (30-45ml) of extracted beverage under 9 bar (135psi) of brewing pressure at brewing temperatures of between 194ºF and 204ºF/90ºC-96ºC, over a period of 25 seconds (+/- 5 seconds and no less than 20 seconds) of brew time. The definitions may be hotly contested by many baristas, for espresso is a subjective pleasure. The age, quality, and origin of the coffee bean, the amount of grounds packed into the basket, the pressure with which the barista tamps, the water temperature, and many other factors all impact the end product. Filter basket: This is the metal, flat...

If your best friend is in a romantic relationship, it may be hard to see them as much as you would like. Plus, when you do see them, they will likely be with their partner. If you feel like you could use a little one-on-one time, talk to your friend and set up a time to hang out, just the two of you. Try setting up a coffee or lunch date in advance, this will make it easier for both of you to commit to it. If you find that you are spending a lot of time with a couple, get to know your friend’s partner. You may find that you really enjoy their company as well. At the least, getting to know your friend’s partner will help you feel more comfortable around them and make spending time with them a little more enjoyable. If appropriate, try hanging out with just your friend’s partner. You might develop a friendship on your own. Your friend’s relationship might be a great time to do your own thing. Instead of doing things with your friend and their partner, do stuff on your own. Indulge some of your hobbies or try out new things.  Take some classes on your own, like cooking or karate. If you feel emotionally comfortable with the concept, you could also try online dating. The easiest way to handle being a third wheel is to spend less time with the couple. You do not need to do everything with your friend and their partner, and they would probably appreciate a little more space. Try to call or text them less, and be less insistent about hanging out. Put the ball in your friend’s court and let them initiate friend time.  This is particularly important early on when your friend is figuring out the new dynamics of their relationship. Give them some space and let them get their bearings. If the couple tries to include you more than you want, politely decline. You don't have to accept every invitation they extend, but you should also not be rude enough that you damage your friendships when you turn down an invite. Let your friend know that you are there for them and that you have their best interests at heart. This will...

Functions are self-contained blocks of code that can be called upon by other parts of the program. They make it very easy to repeat code, and they help make the program simpler to read and change. Functions can include all of the previously-covered techniques learned in this article, and even other functions.       The main() line at the beginning of all of the above examples is a function, as is getchar()  Functions are essential to efficient and easy-to-read code. Make good use of functions to streamline your program. Functions are best created when you outline what you want it to accomplish before you begin the actual coding. The basic syntax for functions is "return_type name ( argument1, argument2, etc.);". For example, to create a function that adds two numbers:   int add ( int x, int y );    This will create a function that adds two integers (x and y) and then returns the sum as an integer. You can use the outline to create a program that takes two integers that the user enters and then adds them together. The program will define how the "add" function works and use it to manipulate the input numbers.   #include <stdio.h>  int add ( int x, int y );  int main() {   int x;   int y;    printf( "Enter two numbers to add together: " );   scanf( "%d", &x );   scanf( "%d", &y );   printf( "The sum of your numbers is %d\n" , add( x, y ) );   getchar(); }  int add ( int x , int y ) {   return x + y; }    Note that the outline is still located at the top of the program. This tells the compiler what to expect when the function is called and what it will return. This is only necessary if you want to define the function later in the program. You could define add() before the main() function and the result would be the same without the outline. The actual functionality of the function is defined at the bottom of the program. The main() function collects the integers from the user and then sends them to the add() function to be processed. The add() function then returns the results to main()  Now the add() has been...

Get your immunizations up-to-date before conceiving. Quit smoking. Stay away from all illicit drugs. Steer clear of hot tubs, saunas, or steam rooms. Avoid environmental toxins.

It’s important to distinguish between these two terms and to use them properly in your assessment.  A hazard is anything that may cause harm. For example: chemicals, electricity, working from heights like a ladder, or an open drawer.  A risk is the chance that these hazards could cause harm to others. For example: a chemical burn or an electric shock, a fall from heights, or an injury from hitting an open drawer. Think about any hazards you notice as you walk around. Ask yourself, what activities, processes, or substances could injure your employees or harm their health?  Look at any objects, office furniture or pieces of machinery that could be hazards. Examine any substances in the workplace, from chemicals to hot coffee. Think about how these substances could injury your employees. If you work in an office, look for any long wires in walkways or under desks, as well as any broken drawers, cupboards, or counter tops. Examine the chairs at your employees' workstations, the windows, and the doors. Look for any hazards in the common areas, such as a faulty microwave or an uncovered section on the coffee machine. If you work in a big box store or a warehouse, look for any machinery that could be hazards. Note any spare materials, like hangers or safety clips, that could spill or land on an employee. Look for any hazards in the aisles of the store, like narrow shelving or cracked sections of the floors. Your employees will be able to help you identify any hazards they encounter on the job. Send out an email or have an in person discussion asking for feedback on any possible hazards in the workplace. Ask specifically about hazards that your employees think could result in significant harm, such as slips and trips, fire hazards, and falling from heights. They can help to explain the hazards and put them in perspective in terms of how the equipment was made to be used and how misuse can lead to hazards. The manufacturer's instructions will likely be on the labels of any equipment or substances. You can also check...

TL;DR in English: Understand the definition of a “hazard” and of a “risk” to the workplace. Walk around your workplace. Ask your employees about any possible hazards. Check the manufacturer’s instructions or data sheets for any equipment or substances. Look at any accident and ill-health records for the workplace. Think about any possible long term hazards.

Mandarin Chinese is a tonal language, which means that different tones can change the meaning of a word, even if the pronunciation and spelling are otherwise the same. It is essential to learn the different tones if you wish to speak Mandarin Chinese correctly. Mandarin Chinese has four main tones, as follows:  The first tone is a high, flat tone. Your voice stays flat, with no rise or dip in the way it sounds. Using the word "ma" as an example, the first tone is indicated using the symbol above the letter a: "mā". The second tone is a rising tone. Your voice rises from a low to middle pitch, as if you were asking someone to repeat something by saying "huh?" or "what?" The second tone is indicated using the symbol "má". The third tone is a dipping tone.The pitch goes from middle to low to high, like when you say the letter "B". When two third tone syllables are near each other, the second one retains its third tone sound while the first takes the sound of the second tone. The third tone is indicated using the symbol "mǎ". The fourth tone is a lowering tone. The pitch goes rapidly from high to low, as if giving a command e.g. stop!  Or as if you're reading a book and have come across something new and interesting and are saying "huh". The fourth tone is indicated using the symbol "mà". Easy enough? If not, don't fret. It's definitely recommended to hear the tones demonstrated by a native speaker, since it's hard to get an idea of what they sound like purely through text. No matter what language you're learning, the more words you have at your disposal, the sooner you will become fluent. Therefore, the next thing to do is to memorize some useful Chinese vocabulary.  Some good vocabulary lists to start with includes: times of day (morning: zǎo shàng, afternoon: xià wǔ, evening: wǎn shàng) body parts (head: tóu, feet: jiǎo, hands: shǒu) food (beef: niú ròu, chicken: jī, egg: jī dàn, noodles: miàn tiáo) along with colors, days, months, transport words, weather, etc. When you hear a word in English, think about how...

TL;DR in English: Practice using the four Mandarin tones. Memorize simple vocabulary. Learn how to count. Learn some basic conversational phrases.

If possible, you should see your healthcare provider to get any necessary immunizations before you become pregnant. Make sure your current healthcare provider has access to all your medical records so they can determine if you need any immunizations. If you do, get them as soon as possible. The MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) and TDaP (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis) immunizations should be given before you become pregnant. You can get a flu vaccine while you are pregnant. Speak to your healthcare provider if you have any concerns regarding immunizations. It’s generally recommended that smoking of any sort be avoided, as it is very damaging to the lungs. This is especially true for pregnant women, because whatever you smoke, your baby smokes as well. Nicotine and tobacco in the blood stream is absorbed by the child, increasing the likelihood of stillbirth, miscarriage, and a low birth weight. Cut out all smoking, including cigarettes, e-cigs, cigars, and marijuana.  Some studies have also shown that babies whose mothers’ smoked while pregnant grow up to be chronic smokers themselves. You should also avoid secondhand smoke. Drugs of any sort - particularly ‘street’ drugs - are incredibly dangerous for a developing child. Recreational drugs almost guarantee your child will suffer from a birth defect or complication, because they have such a significant impact on your body and brain function, and therefore your child’s. Mothers who are addicted to drugs and continue to use them while pregnant can actually pass on their addiction to their child. The newborn baby is then addicted to drugs, and suffers withdrawal symptoms just like an adult does.  If you’re a user of recreational drugs or are addicted, check into a rehab program. Ask your doctor for help finding a spot if you are having trouble. Maintain a drug free lifestyle beyond the birth of your child for your own health. Raising your body temperature too high can be dangerous for your offspring, as high body temperature is correlated to developmental...

If you have a sock, you can use a sock that is a similar tone to your hair. For instance, if you have blond hair, pick a tan or light-colored sock. If you have dark brown hair, pick a tan or light-colored sock. If you have dark brown hair, pick a tan

Find or purchase a tube sock the same color as your hair.

Cradle your dog's head in your non-dominant hand and hold the bottle of drops with your dominant hand. With the thumb of the hand holding the head, gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a pouch. This space behind the lower eyelid is the conjunctival sac, and it is a good place to apply eye medication. Rest the hand holding the medication on the pet's forehead, so if the dog jerks its head, your hand will move with it. Without touching the tip of the bottle to the dog's eye (about 1/8” is a good distance), place the required number of drops into the conjunctival sac or on the eyeball. By putting the medicine in the conjunctival sac, it will spread around the eyeball easier without spilling out of the dog's eye. Try to give the drops a few seconds to disperse before letting the dog shake its head. As long as you actually get the drops in the eye, though, there's probably no need to worry if the dog does shake its head. Eye drops disperse rapidly. The procedure is basically the same as administering eye drops. Restrain your dog’s head. Without touching the tip of the tube to the dog's eyeball, apply a ribbon of medication to the conjunctival sac. Gently close the dog's eye and massage the eyelid with your finger to disperse the medication across the eyeball. If your dog flinches and you are sure that none of the medication got into the eye, take a deep breath, wipe away the ointment, and try again. If you are patient and persistent, it will get easier. This will disperse the treatment. Do this lightly for as long as your dog will reasonably let you. Ideally, you would gently rub your dog's eyelid for 10 to 15 seconds to make sure that the medicine has fully spread across your dog's eye. Follow your vet’s instructions. Some drops/ointments will need to be administered every two hours, some twice a day, and some once a day. The recommended frequency should be printed on the side of the bottle, if it’s a prescription drop/ointment. If you have been asked to treat both eyes even though only one eye appears...

TL;DR in English: Position the dog's head. Apply eye drops. Apply eye ointment. Gently massage your dog's eyelids. Repeat the process. Give your dog a treat when you finish. Stop your dog from rubbing its eye. Close and secure the medication.

Most people can do a split, but it takes a lot of stretching and strength training. Some experts recommend taking at least one month to train and prepare your body to do a split. Follow the stretching and strength training regimen outlined in this article. Do not attempt to do a split without any training or preparation. In addition to preparing your body, wearing the right clothes is important for doing the split. You'll want to wear loose-fitting clothes like sweatpants to help with your range of motion. It would also help to wear socks on a wooden or tile floor, so you can easily slide your feet out to the side. Just like with any stretching regimen, you can't attempt a Chinese split without first warming up your muscles. If you've been following a daily stretch and exercise regimen for several weeks to prepare for a split, perform your usual warm up regimen (about 15 to 20 minutes of physical activity) to make sure your muscles are ready for a split. After you warm up, you need to do some preliminary stretches. Stretch every major muscle group that's involved in doing the split before trying to do the actual split. Try to work through all of the stretches you've done in the previous weeks leading up to your Chinese split attempt. These are the muscle groups you will be using to do the actual split, so loosen your body the same way you've been training. After you've warmed up, you can start working on the split. It will probably take several attempts over days or weeks to do this split, so don't expect to get it your first time. Remember to stop at any point if you feel pain.  Stand with your feet greater than shoulder width apart. Bend down and put your hands on the ground. If you can't get your hands to the ground, you need to work on stretching more. Shift your weight to your heels and rotate your toes and knees so that they're facing up. Then gradually walk your feet out from under you. Keep your hands on the ground to maintain stability -- you don't want to go down too suddenly, or you could injure...

TL;DR in English: Know whether you're ready. Dress properly. Warm up. Do a stretching regimen. Work on the split gradually. Repeat the split routine as needed. Work up to doing a drop split.

Although the sock will be hidden inside your hair once you make the bun, it’s a good idea to find a sock the same color as your hair just in case part of the sock peeks through.  If you don’t have a sock the same color as your hair and are trying to make this hairstyle in a pinch, choose a sock that is a similar tone to your hair. For instance, if you have blond hair, pick a tan or light-colored sock. If you have dark brown hair, pick a black or navy sock. Make sure that you use a sock you don’t care about, since you will be cutting it and won’t be able to wear it again. If you don’t want to use a sock, you can also purchase a hair donut, which fulfills the same function as the sock. If you have a hair donut, you can skip to the next section.

Whether you like bold glasses or own 20 cats, it's the things that make you unique that make you memorable. Don't be afraid to show that side to the person you want to dream about you. That is, don't hide your opinion or thoughts. Being who you really are will help you stand out. For instance, if the person you are trying to get to notice you asks you what movie you like, don't just say, "Oh, you know, comedies." Be specific: "I really liked the latest Star Trek movie. I know a lot of Trekkies hated it, but I loved the story line." People like being told nice things about themselves, and you will increase your chances of being memorable if you do compliment someone. To stick in someone's mind, you need to stand out from the crowd. Therefore, you need to do things out of the norm. Wear a silly hat around the person. Bake a cake for him or her. Do something that makes him or her remember you in particular. One way to show you are interested in a person is to listen intently. You show you genuinely care about what the person thinks or says. Because this quality is rare, it will help you stand out. If you're just meeting a person, give them a memorable piece of information about yourself. The best kinds of hooks are funny. For instance, say you're meeting a friend of your sister at a gathering in Arizona. You could say, "Hi, I'm Carrie's sister from Oklahoma. I tried to leave the tornadoes behind, though." When starting up a conversation, move away from questions about the person's job or the weather. Instead, try more interesting topics, such as a local play that's running or a great book you just read.

TL;DR in English: Let your unique characteristics shine. Be authentic. Give the person a compliment. Do something unusual. Listen intently. Try a hook. Pick interesting topics.

Applying the dye to hair that you’ve already colored can cause the color to darken and your hair to become brittle from over treatment. Start applying the product on your scalp and work your way until you reach the end of the new growth. Leave the ends of your hair untreated. Don't stress out about a little bit of overlap where the new growth ends. That hair is still fresh and won't be as porous as the hair near the ends, meaning that it won't absorb as much color. When your timer goes off and it's time to rinse, add a little water to your hair to slightly moisten the dye. However, don't remove it yet. Use your fingers to pull the color through the ends of your hair. Gently squeeze your hair to re-activate the dye, bringing it down through your ends. This works well to refresh your color when you're reapplying the same shade, but it won't darken your hair. If you want your hair darker, you'll need to leave the dye on your hair for at least 20 minutes. Use warm water to cleanse away the dye. Continue rinsing until the water runs clean. Use a color-safe conditioner to restore moisture to your hair.  Most kits include a conditioner for you to use after you dye your hair. Avoid shampooing your hair for 72-hours after dyeing. If you don't need to refresh the color on your ends and are afraid that they will darken when you do your roots, apply conditioner to the bottom of your hair so that the dye can't absorb. This will help you preserve your color on the part of your hair you want to avoid dyeing.

This method isn't much harder than the basic "puff" fold above, but it looks incredibly elegant, making it a great choice for when you're trying to impress your friends. To start, lay your napkin flat and fold it in half. Press down on the fold to make a firm crease. Unfold the napkin. For this method, it's more important than normal to use a stiff, square cloth napkin. These sorts of napkins hold creases more easily than paper napkins, making your final "fan" shape look much sharper. In addition, if you don't use a square napkin, the dimensions of your fan may be off. Folding parallel to the crease you put in the napkin, make alternating folds from one side to the other. Aim to fit about four to six folds on each side of the central crease — the precise number doesn't matter. Press down to form creases as you go. When you're done, your folded-up napkin should be a long, skinny, "accordion-ing" strip. Note that your original crease should act as one of the folds in your "accordion". You may need to adjust the width of your folds slightly to get them to line up perfectly with the crease. Over time, this gets easier. Next, find the middle point of your accordion-ed strip and fold it over itself so that its edges line up. This should leave you with one round, folded end (probably too thick to crease at this point) and one open, fanned-out end. Now, all you need to do is put the napkin in your ring. Pull the ring up over the folded end of your napkin until it's about halfway up. Pull on the edges of the open end of your napkin to fan it out and display the accordion-ed folds. Congratulations! You're done. As usual, you can make a bold statement by simply putting this folded-up napkin in the center of your plate. You may also want to try putting the folded end in a skinny glass or champagne flute for an exotic, peacock-like arrangement.

TL;DR in English: Crease your napkin in half. Accordion-fold your napkin. Fold the accordion-ed napkin in half. Insert the folded end into your ring.

There are as many types of curators as there are types of museums - art museums, history museums, children’s museums, science museums, and a vast range of specializations in between. You will need to choose what sort of museum you want to work for in order to pursue the appropriate education.  Consider what experiences have influenced your desire to be a museum curator. Were you inspired by an Aztec history exhibit you saw on a school field trip? Do you dream of working in a place like the Metropolitan Museum of Art? Be as specific as possible. If you know you want to work in a science museum, think about what aspects of science interest you the most. Chemistry? Physics? Astronomy? The more specific your choice, the more extensively you can educate yourself in it. Many colleges offer Bachelor’s degrees in museology, or museum studies, but it’s not absolutely necessary that you choose this as your major. Museums will look for candidates with extensive education and experience in a field that is relevant to what they’re curating, such as art or history, as well as knowledge of business administration, marketing, and fundraising. Bachelor’s degrees typically take 4 years to complete, although it may take more if you choose a double major. By this time, you should have some idea of what subject you want to focus on. If you became particularly interested in African art while getting your Bachelor’s in art history, look for Master’s programs that have a focus in African art.  Look at the faculty of graduate departments as well as the programs. Who you work with can have a great impact on your education, as well as your career. Many curators find jobs through the recommendations of professors in their field, so building a good relationship with faculty is a must.  Graduate programs typically take between 1.5 and 3 years to complete. Many lower-level curatorial positions only require a Master’s, but if you want to become curator at a national museum, you’ll need a PhD. This should be in the field you wish to...

This is the first time meeting your potential employer, so it's important to make a good, polite, and friendly impression. Make sure that when your interviewer comes into the room you stand up. Be sure to smile and be sure to reach out for a good, proper handshake, which should involve a firm, but not aggressive, grip and two solid shakes. Say hello, smile, and make good eye contact.  Make sure that your hand pumps are not too aggressive and that your grip is not too tight, as this can give the impression that you are needlessly controlling or a bully. Similarly, do not give a weak or totally limp handshake (sometimes referred to as a "dead fish" handshake) as this gives off the impression that you are timid, weak, and uninterested. It can also communicate that you don't really want to touch the interviewer, which is insulting. Standing or sitting tall with your head held high and your shoulders back reflects inner confidence, power, and status. Meanwhile, slouching can look anxious or sloppy. Your legs should be spread far apart and centrally balanced when standing so that you don't look like you might want to run away. While it's important not to stare and you may be shy, it's expected that you should maintain good eye contact. This shows that you're paying attention to them and not thinking about something else. Try making sure that every time you look at someone, you can take note of the color of their eyes to improve eye contact. Twitching or dancing feet, hands that don't stop moving (aka fidgeting), and making extremely wide gestures can make you come across as nervous or agitated. Try to keep your gestures while talking smaller, and particularly when you are silent remain as still as possible. Frowning communicates negative feelings, and even an unsmiling but not frowning face may indicate that you are tense or struggling. Smiling is friendly and will help you build camaraderie with your interviewer because it is contagious; it also shows that you're upbeat and happy to be present. You might even find...

Clothing is usually mass-produced to accommodate standard  body types. Clothes that are tailored to fit your body will accentuate or highlight curves while hiding any spots you may not like. Tailored pieces can also create curves if you aren’t naturally curvy.  In order to best accentuate your curves, your clothes should be formfitting but not tight, nip in at your waist, hug your hips, and fall loosely over your thighs and calves.  If you want to create curves on a slimmer figure, you can make your clothing tailored so it’s slightly more formfitting, but not skintight.  For example, you can have a boxy top tailored to be more form fitting and flattering to your figure by adding darts, or have wrap dresses and skirts adjusted so that they just skim your curves. Solid colors will create a slim line and color blocking, which is a way of wearing two or more solid colors, will help further accentuate your curves.  You can also use color blocking to create curves. For example, a dress that has side panels in a different color that taper in will define your waist and give you a curvier look.  Horizontal color blocking, such as wearing one color on top and another on the bottom, is a bit more subtle but will also highlight your curves. Because fabrics fall in different ways on a person’s body, choosing the right fabrics for your clothing will help accentuate or create curves.  The best options are medium-weight knits and soft fabrics that will drape well over your curves. Consider cotton with a small percentage of spandex to help the garment lightly skim your body while retaining it’s shape. If you aren’t naturally curvy, consider fabrics that have a bit more spandex to hug your body while creating curves. Small clothing embellishments and details, such as a peplum or an A-line, will accentuate or create curves by drawing the eye towards specific areas of your body.  Peplums are a good way to make your hips look curvier. The peplum should be structured and not hang loosely from the article of clothing. If you’re...

You can use a yoga mat or a gymnastics mat; either way, you want a mat that is going to give your support and cushion while you attempt your headstand. Lay your yoga or gymnastic mat lengthwise in front of you.  If you are not confident enough to practice your headstand freely, you can place your mat up against the base of a wall. Anyone who has never attempted a headstand should first practice against a wall. Practicing against a wall will help you find the initial balance and strength needed to hold a free form headstand. Kneel onto your mat. Bring your upper body down to the mat so your hands are out in front of you. Your body should now look like a table, with your knees lined up with your hips and your hands about shoulder-width apart. Bring your elbows down to rest on the mat.

Beyond monitoring the temperature in your betta's aquarium, you will need to maintain other aspects of the water as well.  Keep up with the following characteristics of the water in your betta's tank to help keep it healthy:  pH level can be monitored with pH strips.  These can be bought at most pet stores that sell aquariums and fish.  Keep tank water neutral, with a pH of 7. Tank water must be clean and cannot contain any chlorine.  Your pet store may have dechlorination tablets available. If possible, let your tank water sit for 24 hours before adding it to the aquarium.  This allows for gases that could potentially harm your fish to be fully released. Regular cleaning of your betta's aquarium is a mandatory part of properly caring for your fish.  How often you clean the aquarium will depend on how large your tank is.  1 gallon tanks need to be cleaned every 3 days, 2.5 gallon tanks every 5 days, and 5 gallon tanks every 7 days. Take note of the tanks temperature.  You will need to match the new water to this temperature. Scoop your fish out of the bowl and place it, along with some tank water, in a safe container. Dump all the old water out of the tank. Wash the tank and all decorations with warm water.  Wipe the inside of the tank down with a cloth or paper towel. Replace the decorations and refill the tank with clean, dechlorinated water. Raise the temperature of the tank up to the temperature that the old water was. Acclimate your fish to the bowl.  Place the container with your fish in the aquarium and over the course of five minutes, add the new tank water to the container water After your fish has acclimated, you can release it into the tank. In addition to keeping track of the temperature in your fishes' aquarium, you will need to watch for signs of illness.  These signs of illness can inform you if anything in your betta's tank needs attention.  Look for some of the following signs of common illnesses in betta fish:  Fin rot will appear as damaged, frayed, or sickly looking fins and is caused by...

This method cooks the meat at a high temperature, turning off the oven, then letting the meat to remain in the heat of the oven. The result is similar to prime rib (pink and juicy inside, and crusty outside). This method takes roughly three hours. Rinse the meat with cool water. Using hot water could promote bacterial growth that could make you sick. Pat the meat dry with paper towels. For a basic, tasty combination, mix salt, pepper, ½ teaspoon of dried thyme, and garlic. You will want to aim for four to six chopped cloves of garlic. Mix all of these ingredients, then rub the mixture all over the meat. Some people prefer to use a steak seasoning (a mixture of herbs, salt and pepper.) Try adding a dash of olive oil to whatever seasonings you use. It will help the seasonings stick to the meat.

Pour 1/2 cup (125 ml) of milk into a medium mixing bowl. Add the egg yolks and cornstarch to the same bowl and whisk well. Continue whisking until the mixture seems smooth and the contents are evenly distributed. Pour the remaining milk in a medium saucepan. Add the lemon zest, sugar, cinnamon stick, and salt to the same saucepan, then set the pan on your stove over medium-low heat.  Mix the contents of the saucepan slowly and continuously as they heat up and do not use a higher heat setting. Milk burns and sticks to pans easily, so continuous motion and low heat are both necessities. Continue heating and stirring until the mixture becomes hot but do not allow it to reach a boil yet. This step should take several minutes. Slowly pour the egg yolk mixture into the hot milk mixture, mixing the two together constantly to combine them. Continue stirring and heating the mixture over medium-low heat until it boils. After it begins to boil, continue whisking it for 2 minutes or longer. Test the taste of the natillas after the first 2 minutes. If you can detect the taste of cornstarch, you'll need to continue heating the mixture for another minute or so. If the cornstarch taste is gone, you can proceed to the next step. Remove the saucepan from the stove. Take out the lemon zest and cinnamon stick, then add the vanilla extract, stirring it in until evenly distributed. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer set to low speed, continuing until stiff peaks form.  When the egg whites are ready, stiff peaks should form when you lift the mixer out. These peaks should stand sharply without drooping. Note that the addition of egg whites is mostly found in Mexican versions of natillas. Many traditional Spanish versions do not use egg whites, and the result is a much denser custard.

It will ruin the taste. Place all the spices and herbs together in a blender, food processor or mortar. Process them until they are ground into a fine paste. Add a little water if necessary to loosen the ingredients and make them easier to grind. Place the paste and water in a mixing bowl and mix well. Taste the mixture and add more black salt or spices as necessary. It's often served cold with the puri. If you wish to chill it, cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve pani puri.

Look for brands that list meat (not meat by-products) as the top ingredients on the labels or ask your veterinarian for advice. While it is not necessary to put your dog on a special diet to prevent kidney stones, you should still feed your dog a food that meets all of his nutritional needs. These needs will depend on your dog’s breed, age, and other factors. Talk to your veterinarian if you are not sure how to choose a food for your dog. If your dog is prone to urinary tract infections or has been diagnosed with kidney stones in the past, then you will need to follow your veterinarian’s food recommendations for your dog.  Your veterinarian will recommend a special diet (including special treats) to help prevent a reoccurrence of kidney stones.  Foods that are high in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and protein can cause kidney stones due to high mineral and protein content in the urine. In dogs susceptible to kidney stone formation, foods that are lower in these nutrients (while still providing adequate amounts) can help to prevent the formation of kidney stones and may even help to dissolve very small stones. There are many types of kidney stones. The most common ones are struvites (made up of magnesium-ammonium-phosphorus); calcium oxalate (made up of calcium) and uric acid stones (the type Dalmatians are prone to get.) There can also be mixed types. By analyzing your dog’s urine, your veterinarian can determine which type of kidney stone your dog has and which food would be most appropriate for your dog to eat. If you feed a home-made diet to your dog, speak with a pet nutrition expert to make sure the vitamin and mineral levels in the diet are balanced. A mineral imbalance (especially calcium and phosphorus) can cause kidney problems for your dog. Your veterinarian may also be able to advise you on how to meet all of your dog’s nutritional needs with a home-made diet. There are supplements that you can give your dog to help with urinary tract health. These include cranberry extracts, which are known to be...

TL;DR in English: Choose a high-quality commercial dog food. Follow your veterinarian’s recommendations for food. Talk to a pet nutrition expert if you make your dog’s food from scratch. Consider urinary tract health supplements.

Tell him that you want to hang out with him more often. Explain how you feel about the situation, but try not to be accusatory. He might not be experienced with relationships, and he might not even realize that you are upset with how things are going. Sometimes, getting onto the same page is enough to solve the problem. Ask him how he feels. Try to find out if there's a reason that he isn't hanging out with you as much as he used to. Be patient. Let him explain his side of the story. Although you should not necessarily blame yourself, it's possible that you're doing something to put him off. This doesn't mean that you need to change. However, it might help you understand what's wrong. The most important thing, once you have explained your feelings and listened to your boyfriend's perspective, is to simply get your boyfriend alone. Set a date in the near future, and hold him to it. This doesn't need to be anything fancy – it could just mean setting aside an hour to go for a walk together. If your boyfriend declines your invitation without a good reason, and does not offer an alternate time – it might be time to reconsider the relationship. It is neither fair nor healthy for you to pour your energy into someone who doesn't want to spend time with you.

TL;DR in English: Talk to your boyfriend. Listen to your boyfriend. Ask him to hang out with you.

Adult scoliosis is often the result of either untreated or unrecognized cases of childhood scoliosis. If the cause of the spinal curve during childhood is unknown, it's called idiopathic scoliosis and this category comprises about 80% of all cases. If you're born with the condition, it's referred to as congenital scoliosis. Most congenital cases are also idiopathic.  Relatively common congenital causes of scoliosis include spina bifida, muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy. About 40% of adult scoliosis patients experience at least a small progression of their spinal curves. Although most adult cases of scoliosis are both congenital and idiopathic, up to 20% of cases are caused by known degenerative conditions of the spine, such as arthritis. The most common type of arthritis of the spine is the "wear and tear" type called osteoarthritis, which typically affects the lower lumbar spine because it bears the most weight from the upper body. Osteoarthritis of the spine affects the vast majority of people (to varying degrees) older than the age of 55 years.  The discs and joints connecting the lumbar vertebrae often wear down with age, and sometimes unevenly, which causes a lateral listing or scoliosis and uneven hips / pelvis. This can easily be seen on x-rays. Your risk of developing osteoarthritis of the spine is greater if you are overweight, sedentary, do lots of sitting, and have a poor diet that's low in minerals, vitamins and protein. Severe spinal arthritis can be treated with surgical techniques that fuse and straighten the spine. Another secondary degenerative cause of adult scoliosis is osteoporosis (loss of bone mass) of the spine. Osteoporosis most often affects the upper thoracic spine, and because it leads to brittle bones, the vertebrae there eventually fracture and collapse. Often osteoporosis of the thoracic spine creates a hunch back appearance, and sometimes due to an uneven collapse, the spine also lists to the side (laterally) to create a scoliosis.  Osteoporosis is much more common in...

You might have a recipe already that you really like, but can't use it because you either don't have the ingredients or you are allergic to them. Fortunately, there are a few ways you can tweak an existing recipe to work for you. This section will show you how to do that. You can also create your own custom smoothie using this section. If you don't have milk at home, you can omit the ice and use yogurt instead. If the recipe calls for frozen fruit, use non-frozen fruit instead, or your smoothie will be too thick. There are all sorts of milk available that can work in a smoothie, including: almond, coconut, rice, and soy. Some stores even sell lactose-free cow's milk. Not all smoothies have to be creamy. If you don't like the flavor of almond or coconut milk, you can always use another type of liquid instead. Here are some options:  Coconut water (great with tropical fruit) Fruit juice (such as orange juice and apple juice) Green tea Water or carbonated water instead of ice. By using frozen fruit instead of ice, you are flavoring your smoothie and thickening it. You can freeze fruit yourself at home, or buy it frozen from the freezer section of a supermarket. Here are some types of frozen fruit you can use:  Bananas Berries (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries) Oranges Peaches Pears Tropical fruit, such as mango, papaya, and pineapples Ice is mainly used to thicken smoothies. If you don't have any ice at home, or even a way to freeze fruit, you can use all sorts of stuff to thicken it, including:  Ground oatmeal Nuts Peanut butter Soft tofu Yogurt

TL;DR in English: Know that you can work with an existing recipe. Substitute yogurt for milk and/or ice. Use another type of milk if you are allergic to cows milk. Use another liquid instead of milk. Try using frozen fruit Try another thickener instead of ice or frozen fruit.

Small snack-sized servings are easier for your body to digest than the full meal you may be used to. Aim to eat between 4 and 6 times a day, maybe once every 2 hours. Stop eating before you feel "full." This can decrease the risk of undigested food making its way to your small intestine, potentially causing a blockage. To ensure proper digestion, always eat in a relaxed setting. The more thoroughly you chew your food, the easier it is for your body to digest. Cook everything you eat so it is moist and tender. If something is difficult to chew, it is likely also difficult to digest. Many stringy fruits (pineapple, rhubarb) and vegetables (celery, bean sprouts) contain tough fibers that your body cannot digest. These fibers can build up in your small bowel, causing obstruction. Similarly, processed foods are harder for your body to digest. Meats, especially steak, take the longest to digest. Water helps your digestive system to function properly. Drinking a glass of water while eating and after every meal may help prevent blockage. Aim to drink between 8 and 10 full glasses of water each day.  In addition to water, other fluids such as broth, tea, and juice are good. Milkshakes can also be good as long as you aren't lactose intolerant. Even though they contain a lot of water, don't use other drinks as a substitute for your 8 to 10 glasses of water. Rather than drinking rapidly, sip on water regularly throughout the day. You may have heard that raw vegetables provide more nutrients than cooked vegetables. However, if you've had problems with small bowel obstruction, raw vegetables may exacerbate the problem.  Look for canned vegetables that are well-cooked and have had the seeds and skins removed, such as carrots, tomatoes, squash, and cauliflower. Frozen vegetables can also be a great option once they're cooked, especially peas, carrots, and potatoes. In particular, you want to avoid leafy greens (spinach, cabbage), stringy vegetables (celery, asparagus), and vegetables with tough outer skins (eggplant, green...

TL;DR in English: Have small meals more frequently. Eat slowly and chew thoroughly. Drink plenty of water. Cook vegetables well. Remove seeds and skin from fruits. Avoid nuts and seeds. Limit consumption of alcohol and caffeine.

Transfer the seed package to the refrigerator and leave the seeds there for two months. This is called stratification, and it will help bring the seeds out of dormancy, and encourage germination. Stratification replicates the dormancy period that happens over winter, so the seeds will come to life again and germinate when they're removed from the refrigerator. Eucalyptus seeds should be sown in pots indoors several weeks before the last expected frost. In the Northern Hemisphere, aim to plant in mid-February. In the Southern Hemisphere, aim to plant in mid-July. To find your last expected frost date, check local government or meteorological websites. Use a porous potting soil that has lots of pearlite for good drainage. It’s also important to use peat pots that can be transplanted with the seedlings, because eucalyptus doesn’t respond well to transplanting. Growing eucalyptus from seed is the best way to propagate new plants, because propagating by cuttings is difficult and the success rate is much lower. Sprinkle a few seeds on top of the potting soil in each peat pot. Cover each pot with a light dusting of horticultural sand. This will hold the seeds in position, keep them warm, and keep them moist as they germinate. Don’t use sand from a beach or the backyard, as it could be contaminated with pathogens that will kill the seeds. As soon as you’ve covered the seeds with sand, mist them with water to help them settle into the soil. As the seeds germinate, mist the soil every one to two days to keep the growing medium evenly moist. Move the pots to a warm place, such as a heated greenhouse or the top of the refrigerator. You can also keep the pots on a heating pad to keep them warm as they germinate. Because you planted multiple seeds in each pot, you may have more than one seedling sprout up. Inspect each pot and look for the largest, thickest, and healthiest seedling. Use sterilized scissors to trim all the weaker seedlings down to soil level. To sterilize the scissors, wipe them down with isopropyl alcohol.

If your hair is damaged from heat or chemicals, buy a moisturizer that actually penetrates your hair shaft. Focus on any part of your hair that feels overly dry, not just the ends. Follow the instructions on the package, especially for advice on how long to leave it on your hair. Look for hydrating

Use a hair moisturizer daily. Shampoo and condition with sulfate-free products. Use a clarifying shampoo at least every six weeks. Ditch the heat entirely. Deep-condition your hair at least once per week.

Make sure that the 2 posts are standing on a level, flat surface. Then, use a tape measure to measure up the post 18 in (46 cm) from the ground. Use your pencil to make a mark on one of the flat sides of the post. Using the level, draw a horizontal line through the mark. Draw another line at the same height on the opposite side of the post. Then, continue measuring up the post in 3 in (7.6 cm) intervals until you've marked 9 lines.  Repeat the process on the second vertical post by measuring and marking lines first at 18 in (46 cm) and then at intervals of 3 in (7.6 cm) until you have drawn 9 lines. These marks must be completely level and centered or your jump cups won't fit correctly into the posts. When you've finished, the 2 posts should each have 9 lines marked around them at the same heights. " Measure the width of one of the vertical edges of the post and divide by 2 to find the center. The result should be close to 1.5 in (3.8 cm). Use a pencil to mark an “X” at the center of the lowest line on the post. Then measure the halfway point at the line of the same height on the other side of the post. Make another “X” here.  Make sure to be consistent and mark your “X” markings on the same 2 sides of the post. Do this for each of the 9 lines you've drawn on both posts. Repeat this process on the second post as well. Keep in mind that, when marking the center of the 9 lines on the second post, you won't need to re-measure the width of the post, since the 2 posts are the same size. Set a 1⁄2 inch (13 mm) drill bit in your power drill. Then, position your drill bit against the first of your “X” markings on 1 of the posts. Hold the drill level, and drill straight through the post. Drill slowly for the sake of accuracy, and aim the drill bit for the “X” on the back side of the post. Drill 9 holes: 1 through each set of “X” marks you drew.  Then, repeat the process and drill 9 more holes through the second post. As with the first post, hold the point of the drill bit in the center of an “X” mark, keep the bit...

TL;DR in English: Mark 9 lines at 3 in (7.6 cm) intervals up one of the posts. Mark the center of each of the 9 lines on the posts with an "X. Drill holes straight through the 9 sets of “X” marks on both posts.

Your slime won't last terribly long, usually a week or less. Make sure you play with it before it goes bad, and check on it in a week to see if it has. If your slime starts growing anything, it's time to toss it out. It might grow white or blue fuzz on top of it, which is mold. If you see it, just think of it as a sign to make new slime. If you notice your slime is getting grungy, it's time to toss it. You may notice it's a different color or that it smells funny. It's also time to toss it if you accidentally drop it somewhere gross. You might be tempted to throw slime down the drain because it seems liquidy. However, it's much better to toss it in the trash, as it can clog up the drain.

TL;DR in English: Check on the slime before a week is up. Throw out moldy slime. Look for dirtiness. Toss the slime in the garbage.

If your hair has been damaged from heat or chemicals, buy a moisturizer that actually penetrates your hair shaft. Focus on any part of your hair that feels overly dry, not just the ends. Follow the instructions on the package, especially for advice on how long to leave it on your hair. Look for hydrating ingredients like Argan oil, keratin, avocado oil, vitamin E, Moroccan oil and coconut oil. Sulfates are damaging to your and strip out the natural oils, making your hair dry and brittle. Dry, damaged strands don't hold curls well. Sulfates can also cause tangling, especially if you have naturally curly locks. If you have some natural wave or curl to your hair, use curl-enhancing shampoos and conditioners to boost your curls. Clarifying shampoo can remove buildup from styling products that might be weighing down your curls. However, if used too often, it can dry out your hair. Wash your hair with clarifying shampoo and then follow up with a moisturizing shampoo immediately afterward to enhance your curls and also help to prevent dryness.  Don't use clarifying shampoo more than once or twice a month. If your hair is extra dry or damaged, use a deep moisturizing treatment after rinsing out the moisturizing shampoo. Forget the advice that low heat is okay. It might be slightly less damaging than high heat, but it won't help in the healing of your hair. Put away the hair dryer, curling iron, and other heat sources. Allow your hair to air dry. If you have tight curls, separate your hair into 4-8 sections and braid each one. Braiding your hair may help it to dry faster and also help to stretch out the tightness of your curls. Add a deep-conditioning product to your hair care routine to restore moisture, since curly hair is typically dry and tends to get frizzy. Use a rich formula at least once every week, right after you use your regular shampoo.

Focus on keeping your belly button "in" (towards your spine) and flexing your abs as you lift weights – you can speed up your ab strength by activating your abdominals during every exercise. Whenever you are doing and ab workout, think about having a strong core -- moving fluidly no matter what your exercise you’re doing.   Abs are the series of muscle found around the front of your stomach, and they are important for balance, stability, and overall strength.  Obliques are on the sides of your stomach, under the ribs, and are used for core balance. Lie down with your feet on the floor, knees up, and hands crossed on your chest. Bring your shoulders to your knees while keeping your back straight as you sit up. Lower yourself down slowly, keeping your butt on the floor. Repeat for 3-5 sets of 20-30 reps.  While popular, do not have someone hold your feet down -- this works your hips more than your abs. Start in the same position you take for sit-ups—butt, feet, and shoulders on the floor with your knees bent up. Keep your back on the floor and your neck strong as you raise your eyes towards the ceiling. Exhale and hold your shoulders 6-8 inches above the floor for one second. Slowly lower your shoulders back down, but try not to touch your head to the floor. Do 3-5 sets of 15-20 reps.  Bicycle crunches: pick your legs up off the ground and bend your knees so that your calves are parallel to the ground. As you do your crunches, alternate pumping your legs as if you were riding a bike. Lay on your back on the ground with your hands by your sides. With your feet together, raise your legs from the waist, trying to form an "L" with your body. Slowly lower them back to the floor, stopping 2-3 inches from the ground before repeating 19 more times.  Keep your legs straight throughout the exercise. For a challenge, try a "hanging leg lift." Hanging from your hands with your feet off the ground, raise your legs up to form an "L" with your body. Add weights or hanging medicine balls from a weight belt to make the exercise...

If you have a wealthy, elderly relative, you may receive money when the time comes to read his or her will. Of course, if your relative regards you fondly, s/he is more likely to write you into the will, so try to stay on your elderly relatives' good sides. Hopefully, this goes without saying, as treating the elderly with love and respect solely in an attempt to get their money is obviously incredibly cruel and cynical. . Lottery tickets generally cost just a few dollars and are available at most grocery and convenience stores, so this is one of the cheapest, least work-intensive ways of making money. However, you're much more likely to lose money by playing the lottery than to win a big prize.  Always expect to lose the money you spend on lottery tickets. While it's true that it's impossible to win the lottery without playing, you should never count on it as a means of supporting yourself. To put things in perspective, your odds of winning a Powerball jackpot in the United States are about 1 in 200 million.  Many people use this method of earning money by setting aside a few dollars every week or month. For example, instead of buying coffee everyday for a week, buy it six days a week or brew coffee at home. This way, the extra money can go to lottery tickets and even if you do not "win it big" your life is still perfectly normal.Another way to save is to give less money to decorating a room, or sell the decorations when you're done with them. Much like the lottery, a contest or sweepstakes can completely change your life over night. Your chances for winning are not very high, but it does happen. The more contests you enter, the more likely you are to win money and other valuable prizes.  The advantage of contests over the lottery is that it is often free to sign up. Try searching online and on social media for free contests and sweepstakes that you can enter. You can also learn about contests by paying attention to advertisements for them on products while you're out shopping. Many of them don't even require...
