Finding meaning in your life is not easy, nor should it be, but you can get wonderful clues from your own past. Think about the things that brought your great pride in yourself, as these are often the moments where you found the most meaning and purpose while working, traveling, or learning.  What makes these moments so special? What challenged or excited you about the work? What motivated you to succeed? . Identifying your values is an important part of finding your inner self. As you reflect on things that made you proud, think about what these experiences reveal about your values. Try asking yourself, what values are connected with the things that make me feel proud?  For example, if you felt proud at your high school graduation, then you might value education. If you felt proud when you received a promotion at work, then you might value professional achievement. If you felt proud when you planned a surprise party for your mother, then you might value family and doing nice things for other people. Start creating a list of all of your values. You might even rank them in order of their importance to you. Finding your inner self is as much about looking forward as looking back. Whether it is a job, a house in your favorite town, a loving partner, or lazy Sundays with a book, your desires reveal a lot about you. Simply jot down the things you want in life. Don't be shy, and don't filter this list of things in any way. Which ones are you pursuing? Which ones have your forgotten about? Which ones matter most? What kind of person do you imagine when looking at your own list of wants and priorities? Would you write the novel you always talk about, or would you get to work constructing a patio? Would you travel the world or sit inside with a good movie? If money wasn't an option, would you grab the non-profit job you've always eyed or pursue an old hobby? These ideas are not just fantasies, they are a version of you unburdened by stress and logistics. Finding that version of yourself is the first step in making it...

TL;DR in English: Think about the moments you are most proud of in your life. Identify your values Determine the things you want in life. Think about how you'd spend your time if you had total freedom. Reconsider the facts, ideas, and outlooks you grew up with or take for granted. Dig beyond the simplistic labels given to you by others. Consider taking an in-depth personality test as a jumping off point. Meditate or spend 10 minutes each day in quiet reflection. Remember that this is a life-long process, not an quickly accomplished goal.

Starting your litter box training in the cage makes it easier on you and the ferret. The ferret likes to stay clean, so it will be interested in having an area to use the bathroom that's away from its sleeping area. After the ferret gets the hang of the cage, you can move to a slightly larger room, such as the bathroom. Put your ferret in its litter box first thing in the morning after it wakes up. Avoid waking a ferret that is asleep, so you don't startle it. This routine encourages the ferret to go to the bathroom in the correct place.  One of the best times to use this technique is in the morning when your ferret has been sleeping overnight. Most of the time, your ferret will want to use the bathroom when it wakes up. Repeat the process several times a day for a week or so until your ferret gets the idea. When you see the ferret go in the litter box on its own, immediately pet it and praise it. That lets the ferret know that you approve of this behavior and that it should continue it. Watch for bathroom-going behavior. Typically, a ferret will lift its tail and scoot back a little. If you see this behavior when the ferret isn't in the litter box, pick up the ferret and put it in the litter box to encourage it to go there instead. Don't scold your ferret or try to push your ferret's nose in its accident. It won't understand what you mean, and you will just make it fear you. When your ferret defecates outside the litter box, use a paper towel or glove to move it into the litter box. You can also rub a little litter into a urine spill and put it in the litter box.  When the ferret notices its own scent in the litter box, it will be more inclined to use it. It's also a good idea to leave a little bit of the ferret's feces in the litter box when you clean it so the ferret still associates it with the bathroom. When your ferret keeps returning to a certain corner to use the bathroom, start by cleaning the area thoroughly. Then, place towels the ferret has slept on or a hammock in that corner for the ferret to...

TL;DR in English: Begin by keeping the ferret in the cage to encourage litter box use. Show your ferret the litter box when they wake up. Praise the ferret when it uses the litter box on its own. Put the ferret in the litter box if you witness an accident in action. Move accidents back into the litter box to encourage your ferret to use it. Put beds where the ferret has had accidents.

A broken leg can be very traumatic for your kitten. Give your kitten as much rest as possible while it is injured. Rest aids healing and minimizes pain or discomfort. Restrict your kitten’s movement, especially jumping, as much as possible. One way to help restrict movement and comfort your kitten is creating one area in which to sleep, eat, and use the litter box. It can be an entire room or in a crate. This can ensure your kitten doesn’t need to move often and doesn’t waste energy that is better spent on healing.  Place a warm blanket in the area, which can provide warmth and comfort to your kitten. Consider putting it in a space that allows you to lay down with your kitten. This can give your kitten extra comfort. Make sure your kitten has clean food and water in the area. Your kitten may not want to eat or drink much until it starts feeling better. Put a small litter box or bathroom pad in the area. Take your kitten to it every hour so that it doesn’t have to put any weight on the leg. Your kitten may be scared or cry because of the break or treatment. Pick up your kitten or sit by the blanket and gently pet it. This can calm your kitten and provide reassurance. Stroke your kitten’s head, neck, and under the chin. Avoid the broken leg and any spots that are sensitive. Your kitten may also not want to be pet. If this is the case, give it some space until it is ready for contact again. In addition to touch, talking can also provide your kitten comfort and reassurance. Any you’re your are with your kitten or checking in on it, give a few comforting words.  Maintain a soft voice so you don’t scare your kitten. Include your kitten’s name and offer praise while you talk. For example, “I know you’re hurting and scared, Sam? You’re being such a good kitten.” Consider gently stroking your kitten when you talk to it.

TL;DR in English: Let your kitten rest. Create a cozy and quiet spot. Pet your kitten gently. Talk to your kitten.

This is a common tactic for stuck lids on glass jars with wide metal lids (like pickle jars, etc.), but it's a bad idea here. Nail polish bottles usually have lids made of plastic, so they won't deform the same way metal will if you bang them on a hard surface. If you do bang them hard enough to change the shape of the lid, you stand a good chance of breaking it, which will cause a spill. A bottle of polish that seems like it's impossible to open can be seriously aggravating, but losing your patience is a bad idea. Ripping or tearing the lid off with pliers, for instance, is a recipe for disaster — you'll likely break the lid and cause a spill. Trying to pry the lid off with a screwdriver or cut it off with sharp implements will usually lead to the same result. As a general rule, trying to get the lid off in any way other than twisting it the way it was meant to be twisted is a risky bet. Once you get the lid off, you may be tempted to leave it off (or leave it slightly unscrewed) so that it won't get stuck in the future. This is a bad idea. The lid is crucial for keeping the polish from coming in contact with air. If you let air into the bottle, the polish can dry up, making the polish useless. Instead, to prevent sticking, clean the bottle neck with polish remover and close it moderately tightly.

Recognize an ear infection in your child. Check your child’s ear with an electronic ear monitor. Call your child's doctor. Have a doctor check your child’s ear. Get additional tests if your doctor recommends it.

Take a few minutes to sit down and write down important information about the dispute. The most common issues are receiving a faulty item or not receiving payment. Also think about how you want the problem resolved. Do you want a refund or do you want the item replaced? Before opening a dispute, you should make sure that you have the following information:  the name of the other party. the transaction number. This should be on any correspondence associated with the transaction. It will also appear on the “My eBay” page. the date of the transaction. the date you were charged (if you paid for an item). You should attempt to resolve the dispute informally. Sometimes problems can be fixed quite easily. Contact the other party through eBay (instead of through private email). By contacting the other party through eBay, eBay will be able to trace the communications. The other party should promptly agree to issue a refund, pay for the item, or replace the item. If the other party does not respond in a day or two, you should open a dispute with eBay.

TL;DR in English: Identify the dispute. Gather necessary information. Contact the other party.

Try to get the kind of wax that comes in flake or pellet form. It will melt a lot quicker. If your wax comes in blocks, cut it into smaller pieces so that it melts quicker.  You will need to add wax to your candle. Many people find that candles made from pure crayon do not burn well. The wax will "shrink" when you melt it, so you will need the extra wax.

TL;DR in English: Measure out enough wax to fill your candle holder, plus some extra and set it aside.

Ear infections generally come on suddenly. A child with an ear infection may:  Complain of ear pain Pull at the ear Be unable to sleep Cry Be irritable Have trouble hearing Have trouble balancing Have a fever of 100 °F (37.8 °C) or more Have fluid leaking from the ear Not be hungry Have diarrhea or vomiting These devices, such as EarCheck, use sound waves to detect whether there is fluid buildup in the middle ear. The device reads the sound waves that are reflected back and determines whether there is fluid in the middle ear. If your child has fluid buildup, you should bring the child to the doctor. However, fluid buildup does not necessarily mean that there is an ear infection.  You can purchase an electronic ear monitor online or at your local pharmacy for approximately $50. Make sure you follow the directions carefully, and use caution when using these on young children. Even if your child’s reading comes back as not reporting fluid buildup, you may still want to bring her to the doctor if she is having concerning symptoms to make sure there are no other problems causing her symptoms. Your doctor will likely want you to bring the child in so his ears can be checked. Your doctor is particularly likely to recommend this if:  Your child's pain is very bad Your child's pain has continued for more than 24 hours Your child has recently had a cold, flu, or other infection There is fluid coming out of the child's ear The doctor will use an otoscope, and sometimes a pneumatic otoscope to look into your child’s ear. The device allows the doctor to see the eardrum, and also can be used to blow a small amount of air against the eardrum. The doctor when watches to see if the eardrum moves. This will not hurt.  If the ear doesn’t move as much as usual, or doesn’t move at all, it means that fluid has built up behind the eardrum. However, the most important part of the exam is your doctor seeing what the ear drum looks like through the otoscope. Signs of infection are if the ear drum is red, swollen, or has yellow fluid...

If you need to cry on command, thinking of a time when you felt sad can help put you in the right frame of mind for tears. For example, it may  help to think back to the loss of a loved one or a particularly bad breakup. Other emotional triggers might include losing something special to you, getting in trouble with your parents, or missing out on something you worked really hard to achieve. Many people have fears that deep down they are not as strong as they like to believe. Picturing yourself as small and weak might put you in a vulnerable mindset that can lead to real tears.  Once you tap into that feeling, let the helpless feeling flow out of you in the fear of tears. For example, a common exercise in acting classes is to imagine yourself as a small child whom no one cares for. Sometimes, thinking back on a bad experience from the past can lead to real emotions that are hard to overcome. If this is the case, try to imagine something sad that could happen hypothetically rather than thinking of something personal. For instance, you could try thinking of puppies being left on the side of the road. You want to save them all, but you can only take one. As you're holding the one puppy you got to save, you look at all of the other puppies that aren't being held. Try imagining things that make your eyes fill up with happy tears, like a time someone gave you a meaningful gift, veterans being reunited with their families, or someone triumphing in the face of adversity. As long as you’re not smiling, no one will be able to tell if you’re crying happy or sad tears.

TL;DR in English: Think about a time when you felt really emotional. Imagine yourself being weak or helpless. Create a sad scenario using your imagination. Cry happy tears if you don’t want to feel sad.

Some people have good luck using coffee grounds to eliminate gas smells. All you do is rub grounds into the affected area. After a week or so, vacuum up the coffee, and the smell should be lessened. Some experts recommend trying a short coffee treatment before you shampoo the area. Some people cover up the smell by dousing it in dry baking soda. They leave the baking soda on it all the time, switching it out monthly or so by vacuuming up the old and adding a fresh layer. You can also use baby powder instead of baking soda. Another option is kitty litter, which is designed to absorb moisture and smells. Pour it on the spill, and leave it for at least a day before vacuuming it up. You may need to repeat the process several times. These sprays are designed for fabrics, so they may make a difference when it comes to a gasoline smell. Spray it on generously, and then allow it to air dry.

” You can either make a small, human-shaped form out of foil or use a doll, like a barbie doll. If you decide to use a doll, cut off as much of its hair as you can. Otherwise, the head of the mummy will be difficult to wrap.  Don’t use someone else’s doll without asking permission. Inexpensive dolls can be bought at grocery stores and discount department stores. Add one part water to one part flour in a large mixing bowl. Next, whisk the mixture together to create a smooth paste. The paste should have the consistency of pancake batter. If it’s too thick, add a few splashes of water. If it’s too thin, sprinkle in more flour.  For example, if you use one cup of flour, you will need one cup of water. Add a tablespoon of salt to the paste if you want to prevent molding. Tear out small, thin strips of unruled white paper or thin cloth. You can also use newspaper, tissue paper, or paper towels. If you’re making an authentic-looking mummy, choose white paper or fabric. Otherwise, the mummy will be multicolored. The strips should be about 3-4 inches long (7.5 to 10 centimeters) and half an inch wide (1.3 centimeters). First, dip a strip of paper or fabric into your paste and coat each side. Gently squeeze the strip to remove any excess paste. Next, wrap the strip around the mummy as tightly as you can.  Wrap the arms against the body. Mummies usually don’t have individually wrapped arms. If you decide to do more than one layer of papier mâché, let each layer dry completely before adding another. Leave the mummy in a sunny spot for twenty-four to forty-eight hours. This will guarantee that any layers have dried. Otherwise, the mummy may mold.  To test whether or not the mummy is dry, press it gently with a finger. The papier mâché should be chalky and stiff. To speed the drying process, place the mummy under a fan.

The best way to reduce uric acid levels is to limit the amounts of purine-rich foods in your diet. Purines are chemicals that form when your body breaks down certain types of food, but a high level of purines can lead to conditions like gout and kidney stones. You should avoid purine-rich foods if you have had gout or uric acid-containing kidney stones or if you have a family history of these conditions. Do not exceed more than two to four servings of any of these foods per week and avoid them completely during a bout with gout or if you have uric-acid-containing kidney stones. Purine-rich foods to limit or avoid include:  Beer and liquor Sugary soft drinks Fatty foods such as fried foods, butter, margarine, and high-fat dairy products Organ meats such as liver, kidneys, and sweetbreads Beef, chicken, pork, bacon, veal, and venison Anchovies, sardines, herring, mussels, codfish, scallops, trout, haddock, crab, oyster, lobster, and shrimp Phytate is a substance that seems to prevent the formation of many types of kidney stones, including those caused by uric acid. Include two to three servings of phytate-rich foods every day. Phytate-rich foods include:  Beans Legumes Whole grains Make sure that you include calcium-rich foods in your diet, such as low-fat dairy products.  Include one to two servings of calcium rich foods per day. Calcium rich foods include:  Milk Yogurt Cheese Getting enough vitamin C may also help to lower uric acid levels. Try eating a couple servings of foods that are rich in Vitamin C each day or talk to your doctor about including a vitamin C supplement to help lower your uric acid levels.Foods that are rich in vitamin C include:  Citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and limes Kiwi fruit Berries Cantaloupe Pineapple Mango Papaya Broccoli Peppers Sweet and white potatoes Tomatoes Leafy greens such as spinach, cabbage, and turnip greens Cauliflower Winter squash Drinking plenty of water can also help to reduce uric acid in your blood.

Chickens can eat some of the insects scorpions prey on for food. As such, they'll make the area less inviting to scorpions.  Keep in mind that scorpions are nocturnal and chickens are not, so chickens won't have much opportunity to hunt scorpions themselves. This natural substance is made from ground up fossils. It's a fine white powder that can be sprinkled in doorways, cracks and crevices both indoors and outdoors. It's completely safe for humans and pets to be around, but the tiny shards of fossil effectively pierce scorpions' exoskeletons when they happen to scuttle over the powder. Diatomaceous earth also kills spiders, roaches and other insects. The same traps that can be used to get rid of mice or roaches work for scorpions, too. Set them up in dark corners and near sources of water. If you catch a scorpion, throw the trap away and set out another one in the same area, since it's likely a spot that more scorpions will be attracted to.

If you suspect that you have a sexually transmitted disease, make an appointment with your doctor right away or visit a health clinic. Prompt treatment of STDs is crucial to help prevent long-term effects from disease and spreading it to others. When left untreated, some STDS can cause serious long-term health problems including hair loss, arthritis, infertility, birth defects, cancer, and rarely, even death. Some STDs can be treated with antibiotics while others cannot be cured at all. Regardless of your situation, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions for how to cure or manage your condition. If you receive a diagnosis for an STD, your doctor will advise you on your treatment options and give you information on how to avoid spreading your STD to other people.  Your healthcare provider may prescribe medications to treat your condition or at least to lessen the severity of your symptoms. There is no cure for HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B, or herpes. However, there are treatments available to help mitigate symptoms. There are several ways to decrease your chances of contracting an STD infection. Make sure that you choose the method that works best with your lifestyle. The methods you can use to help prevent contraction of an STD include:   Abstain. The only sure way to ensure that you do not contract an STD is to abstain from oral, vaginal, and anal sex. Use protection. If you do engage in sexual activities, use a latex condom to minimize the possibility of contracting an STD. Be monogamous. One of the most reliable ways to avoid STDs is to be in a mutually monogamous relationship. Have an open conversation with any partner about whether they have been tested before engaging in any activities. Get vaccinated. For hepatitis B and HPV, you can be vaccinated. This helps ensure that you will not contract the diseases even if you do come into contact with them during sex. The hepatitis B vaccination is usually administer to infants at birth, but be sure to check. The HPV vaccination consists of 3-dose series...

When shopping for lace-up pants, you will typically have a choice between low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise waists. Make your choice based on the style that looks the best with your body shape and what you feel most comfortable in. For example, high-waisted pants tend to flatter most body shapes. Choose mid-rise if you want to play down the size of your lower half. Low-rise pants work best on athletic frames. The majority of lace-up pants will be black and have the slim fit of skinny jeans. Choose a stretchy material for the most comfortable fit. Black leather lace-ups are the most daring option. They can be styled in a variety of ways, so you can play up or tone down their raciness according to your personal tastes. Most of the leather versions lace-up either along the side seam or down the front of the legs, so be aware that your skin will peek through the lace holes all the way up to your thighs.  Wear a longer top if you want to minimize the amount of skin you show around the thigh-area. Wear a crop or waist-length top for a more daring look. These pants are more accessible, easier to style and more comfortable than the leather lace-ups. They usually lace up along the side seam of the pant legs, from the ankle all the way up to the waistband. Because of this, the jeans are still somewhat revealing. However, you do have some control over how much skin you show.  For example, if you want to show a little less skin, wear a pair of eye-catching tights under the pants. You can also tighten the laces at the hips, which will narrow the peek-a-boo gap around the thigh area. For a more revealing look, wear them with a thin black thong or no underwear at all. Lace-up leggings are typically styled as post-gym streetwear with an edge. They are usually made of a stretchy black rayon/nylon/spandex blend, making them quite comfortable. The leggings usually lace up the sides and feature an elasticized waistband. You can tighten the laces as you see fit, according to your personal tastes and how much skin you want to show....

TL;DR in English: Select the most flattering waist for your body shape. Choose black leather lace-up pants for a high fashion look. Wear black lace-up skinny jeans for a more casual vibe. Create a sporty look with lace-up black leggings. Select skinny jeans that lace up in the front for a laidback look. Wear your lace-up pants at appropriate occasions.

Removing the chrome bumper from your car will make it easier for you to carry out the process of painting it. To remove your front bumper, open your hood to find the screws and bolts that connect your bumper to the front of your car and remove these screws. Your rear bumper is also attached with screws and bolts, most of which are on the outside, so you simply unscrew these to remove it. You want to make sure you remove all of the fingerprints, dust, or dirt that is on the bumper’s surface. Wash the bumper thoroughly with soap and water, and then carefully dry the bumper so that it’s no longer damp. Chrome rusts easily, so if your bumper is rusty you’ll need to remove the rust before you can start painting. To do this, mix vinegar and baking soda together until they form a thick paste. Take a rag or some sort of cloth and cover the rusted area with the paste. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, and then use steel wool to rub the rust off of the bumper.  The vinegar and baking soda mixture should cause the rust particles to loosen. If your bumper still shows signs of rust, repeat the process over again. Wipe down the bumper with water or soap once you’ve removed the rust to be sure to have a nice clean surface. To apply paint to your bumper, you need to create a workable surface for the primer. Use sandpaper or a dual action sander to remove any imperfections. Start with a coarser sandpaper, such as 60- or 120-grit, and then use 320-grit paper for a finer finish. The goal is to remove the shiny quality from the chrome surface.  If you need to remove flaking spots, deep scars, or do heavy sanding, you should use 40- to 60-grit paper. For fixing small imperfections, try 80- to 120-grit paper. For a very smooth surface, use 360- to 600-grit paper. This should leave you with a surface without many scratches. Grease and wax remover will get rid of any additional traces of dirt, oil, grease, and other contaminants. Remnants of dirt will cause a bad paint job, so be sure to wipe the bumper with wax and grease remover...

Just like its topical use, ginger can be ingested to help with your GA as well. Ginger has a strong anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antibacterial effects. Try adding it to your meals by eating the root raw, adding it into recipes, or using the ginger powder in rubs and marinades. You can also drink it in your tea or with your milk by adding as much as you think is necessary to get a pleasant taste. Just as with ginger, turmeric has powerful anti-inflammatory effects. It contains curcumin as one of its active ingredients, which is considered one of the strongest antioxidant and detoxifying substances there is. It can reduce the rash and itchiness sensation as well as preventing bacterial infections as well.  Turmeric powder can be drank in warm teas like ginger. It can also be added like any spice to zest up your meals. Curmurin blocks the COX-II enzyme responsible for releasing prostaglandin, which is an inflammatory chemical, making turmeric a triple threat because it is an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antibacterial spice. Boswellia serrata is made from the gum of the Indian olibanum tree. It is a very good anti-inflammatory drug and helps limit the production of leukotrienes that are found in leukocytes, which are unsaturated fatty acids that are released during allergic reactions. The standard extract dosage is 2-8 grams of resin per day.  Stop taking boswellia after 8 to 12 weeks. The safety of taking the herb internally for longer periods is currently unknown. Boswellia topical cream can also be used for treatment of GA. Green tea has been linked to healing properties when consumed on a regular basis. Try drinking green tea at least twice a day daily. Afterwards, use the filters containing the green tea leaves as compresses for your skin. Also consider taking a green tea supplement in tablet form. The direct application of green tea to the bumps can sooth them and reduce the burning sensation. This effect happens due to green tea's flavonoids called catechins. They are antioxidants that detoxify...

TL;DR in English: Add ginger to your diet to fight inflammation and infections. Ingest turmeric daily to reduce itching and the rash size. Take boswellia serrata daily to reduce your inflammatory response. Think about green tea twice a day to help you heal. Apply grated rheum rhabarbarum to support your immune system. Apply a yarrow powder paste for its healing properties.

You should have your lined baking sheets ready to put the batter on.  Place four or five spoonfuls per tray—if you place more than four, the mixture will spread and the individual snaps will blend together. Leave about 4 inches (10 cm) between each of the brandy snaps. Leave to bake for 7 minutes, or until they turn golden.  When fully baked, the snaps should appear thin and lacey. If you do not have room in your oven to fit all four sheets at once, you can cook each baking sheet individually. Allow the brandy snaps to cool slightly, but only until they are able to be moved without breaking. The snaps need to remain hot, in order to be malleable. It should only take about 2 minutes for the snaps to cool. As soon as the brandy snaps are comfortable to touch (don’t burn yourself!), they have cooled enough.

TL;DR in English: Use a metal tablespoon to scoop the mixture out of the saucepan. Place the baking sheets in the oven. Remove from the oven and place the tray on wire cooling racks.

If you want a convenient, easy way to use CBD oil, capsules may be your best option. Check the label on your capsules to get the recommended dose, then take them as directed. You’ll likely start to notice effects in about 30 minutes.  Capsules typically don’t provide relief as quickly as other CBD oil delivery methods. However, they’re easier to use and convenient to carry with you. Additionally, capsules ensure you’re getting the same dose each time. Look for capsules at a drugstore, a dispensary, or online. Shake the tincture bottle well to mix the ingredients, then use an eyedropper to measure out 1-2 drops of CBD tincture. Squeeze the drops under your tongue and hold the tincture in place for 30 seconds before swallowing.  If your tincture comes in a spray bottle, spritz it once on the inside of each cheek. A tincture can start working in as little as 15 minutes, but you’ll likely start feeling the effects in about 30 minutes. Tinctures often come in different flavors to make them tastier. CBD topical oils typically contain both CBD oil and a carrier, such as coconut oil or beeswax. A massage oil is great for treating achy muscles and joints, as well as chronic pain. Put the massage oil on your fingers, then use your fingers to massage the oil directly onto the area you want to treat. Make circular motions on your skin as you apply the oil.  You may notice less pain immediately, but it’s more common to get relief in 30 minutes to a few hours. However, keep in mind that some people don’t get relief from CBD oil. If you don’t like the first oil you try, consider using a different product. You might buy a massage oil that has a higher concentration of CBD oil or a different carrier. For instance, CBD oil diluted with coconut oil might work better for you than CBD oil mixed with beeswax. You might enjoy munching on CBD candies, treats, and other food products. Check the serving size directions, then eat your edible as directed. While these products are usually fun and easy to use, they may not work as well as...

TL;DR in English:


In a large bowl or cup, combine 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) of water, 1/3 cup (40 grams) of cornstarch, and 1/3 cup (40 grams) of baking soda. Stir in a few drops of food coloring. Carefully pour the mixture into a plastic squeeze bottle. Repeat the process for the rest of the colors, if desired. Fill a spray bottle with white, distilled vinegar. Draw designs on the sidewalk with the liquid chalk. Spray the designs with vinegar while they are still wet.

Look for the vein that runs down your horse's neck, which is called the jugular. This vein will be in a groove that runs along the lower part of your horse's neck, from its head to its torso. Position your hand over the vein, then apply pressure to show how fast the blood is pumping through the vein. The pressure will also make the vein bulge. Keep your hand pressed against the horse’s neck for the entire process of drawing the blood. Use your first 3 fingers to firmly tap the vein about halfway up the horse’s neck. Watch for the vein to bulge slightly, which will make it easier to insert your needle. Make sure you keep your non-dominant hand against the lower part of the neck while you do this. The pressure on the lower part of the neck will reduce blood flow, which makes the vein bulge above your hand so that you can see it more easily. Dampen a piece of gauze with rubbing alcohol, then wipe the horse’s neck where you plan to insert the needle. Press down into the horse’s coat to really clean the area. You don’t want dirt and bacteria to linger on the skin. This will help you avoid accidentally pushing dirt or bacteria into the injection site, which can result in an infection.

TL;DR in English: Use your non-dominant hand to press down on the bottom of the horse’s neck. Tap lightly on the middle of the jugular vein to make it easier to see. Wipe the draw site with rubbing alcohol to sterilize it.

The more you walk through and spend time in your palace, the more easily you will recall its contents on demand. You want the visualization to feel effortless and natural. Try to walk through the entire route a couple of times or block out a chunk of time each day to visualize the palace from start to finish.  For example, see James Joyce sitting on your toilet as if he belongs there and really is an integral part of your bathroom décor instead of an imagined image. This helps you remember that James Joyce was the author known for his toilet humor. The best part is you can practice this anywhere, anytime. All you have to do is close your eyes. Once you have memorized the contents of your palace remember them simply by following the route or visualizing a room. With practice you will be able to start anywhere in your palace or along your route to recall a specific piece of information. If you need to remember that your girlfriend’s birthday is March 16, simply go into your bedroom and see the soldiers “marching" on the bed to the tune of the 80s cult classic “Sixteen Candles." A memory palace can be reused over and over again. Simply replace the existing contents with new information. After a few practice runs, you’ll soon forget the old data and only remember the new data in its place. If your palace is becoming too large or contains information you no longer need, remove that data from the route. If you have something new you’d like to commit to memory, but you don’t want to erase your current memory palace, simply build a new one. File the old palace away and start the process all over again, choosing a different place to use as your palace. Memory palaces will last as long as you want them to once they’re stored in your brain. For example, you might have your house store the names of all the U.S. presidents. Then, your walk to work contains the phone numbers of your friends and family. And your office itself has the contents of the speech you’re giving tomorrow.

TL;DR in English: Spend at least 15 minutes exploring your palace every day. Recall information by walking through your palace or looking around it. Clean up your memory palace when you need to update data. Build new palaces for different topics and information.

Mix everything together using a whisk or fork. There should be no lumps or clumps. The mixture will be a little bit thick, which is fine. This will be enough for one color. Try to use a bowl or cup that has a little pouring spout. This will make it easier to pour the mixture into the spray bottles later on. You will need about 5 to 20 drops. The more drops you add, the brighter your color will be. Keep stirring until you get an even color. There should be no streaks or swirls.  You can also use liquid watercolors instead of food coloring. You can try using washable tempera paint, but it might make the mixture too thick to squeeze out of the bottles. Close the bottle and shake it to mix everything together. If you are having troubles pouring the mixture, try sticking a funnel into the next of the bottle first. Pour the mixture through the funnel. If you want to make more colors, mix up a new batch of water, baking soda, and cornstarch. Use a different color for each bottle. The vinegar is important. It will react with the baking soda, and cause the paint to fizz. If you are having troubles getting the vinegar into the spray bottle, stick a clean funnel down into the neck, and pour the vinegar through the funnel. Open the tip of the squeeze bottle and squirt out some designs onto the sidewalk. The colors may look a little translucent at first, but they will become brighter once they dry. The vinegar and baking soda will react with other. They will bubble and fizz, and create a new, foamy design.

If you need to go, go! Even if you're in the middle of a conversation, leave. Others will understand and a difficult situation will be avoided. If you are in a situation where bathrooms will be hard to access, regulate your liquid intake.  Events like operas and plays may not let you leave the theatre. Airplanes, concerts, and sports games are notorious situations for difficult access to bathrooms. Avoid drinking a lot of alcohol in a short period of time. Alcohol is a diuretic. That in combination with impaired judgment and a relaxed body can lead to a messy accident.   Before you start drinking, note where the closest bathroom is. Ask your friends to tell you when they are going to the bathroom and go with them. You may forget or not realize how badly you need to go. Use a Blood Alcohol Calculator to determine exactly how drunk you are getting. You may not feel the effects of the liquor right away and continue to drink.

As a general rule, you should use about 5 oz (150 ml) of juice per 1.5 to 2 oz (45 to 60 ml) of gin. The type of juice you use is really up to you, but tart juices are more commonly used than sweet juices.  For a milder taste, consider using pineapple juice, orange juice, pomegranate juice, cherry juice, or grape juice. For a slightly stronger taste, consider grapefruit juice or cranberry juice. You can also combine juices as long as the ratio of gin to juice remains the same. Try mixing grapefruit juice and orange juice, cranberry and grape, or another of your favorite juice combinations.  Strong citrus fruits, like lemon and lime, can also be mixed with gin but are generally combined with other ingredients, like syrup or soda water, to dilute the sourness. Secure the lid on the container and shake it using a vigorous up and down motion away from your face and away from anyone else. Shake it for at least 15 seconds to mix the ingredients completely. Release the lid and pour the contents of the mixture over the ice. A slice of citrus fruit, like lemon or lime, works well depending on the juices in your drink. You could also float a small sprig of mint on top of the drink. In order to maintain a proper balance of flavor, the drink should be consumed before the ice has a chance to melt.

TL;DR in English: Pour the gin and juice into a shaker. Shake the liquids together. Pour the gin and juice into the glass. Add a garnish. Serve immediately.

Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high. Lay 4 chorizo links on the hot grill and close it. Cook the chorizo for 30 to 35 minutes or until the links reach 160 °F (71 °C). Transfer the chorizo to a cutting board and rest the links for 5 minutes before serving.

Most MU charts have at least these three columns. There may sometimes be more, but these display the most crucial information. Typically, these are arranged from left to right. Note that the column headers will not always match these exactly. For example, the "Quantity" column may be labeled "Items bought," "Units purchased," or something similar. The important thing is the information in the column. A "classic" MU chart is often used to demonstrate that, as a consumer buys more of a certain good, the desire to purchase even more goods will drop. In other words, after a point, the marginal utility of each additional good purchased will start to decrease. Eventually, the consumer will start to be less satisfied overall than before buying the additional goods. In the example chart above, this trend of diminishing returns starts almost immediately. The first ticket to the film festival provides lots of marginal utility, but each ticket after the first gives a little less. After six tickets, each extra ticket actually has a negative MU, which decreases the total satisfaction. An explanation for this might be that, after six visits, the consumer starts to get tired of seeing the same movies again and again. This is the point where marginal price exceeds MU. A marginal utility chart makes it easy to predict how many units of goods a consumer will buy. As a reminder, consumers tend to buy goods until the marginal price (the cost of one more unit of the goods) is greater than the MU. If you know how much the goods being analyzed in the chart cost, the point where utility is maximized is the last row where MU is higher than the marginal cost.  Let's say that the tickets in the example chart cost $3 each. In this case, utility is maximized when the consumer buys 4 tickets. The next ticket after this has an MU of $2, which is less than the marginal cost of $3. Note that utility isn't necessarily maximized when the MU starts to become negative. It's possible for goods to give some benefit to the consumer without being...

TL;DR in English: Assign columns for quantity, total utility, and marginal utility. Look for a trend of diminishing returns. Determine Maximum Utility. Use the chart data to find additional information.

The basic MLA citation starts with the name of the author. In the case of a song, if you're referencing a particular recording, the performer is the author.  The performer could be a single individual or a band. If you're using the name of a single person, use "last name, first name" format. For example: Knowles-Carter, Beyoncé. If you're citing a piece of sheet music rather than a recording, the first name in your MLA citation should be the composer or songwriter of the piece of music.  If there are multiple writers, list them all in the order they appear in the copyright information for the song. If the song has lyrics, there may be both a composer and a lyricist. For example: Knowles-Carter, Beyoncé and James Blake. The name of the song you've referenced is the next piece of information in your MLA citation, whether you're citing a recording or a piece of music. Enclose it in quotation marks. For example: Knowles-Carter, Beyoncé and James Blake. "Freedom." Following the song title, provide the title of the album for recordings, along with the record company and the year the album was released. For sheet music, provide the title of the book in which the music appears, the name of the company that published the sheet music, and the year it was published. For example: Knowles-Carter, Beyoncé and James Blake. "Freedom." Lemonade, Parkwood Entertainment, 2016. If you're citing a piece of sheet music, this is as simple as adding the words "sheet music" to the end of your citation. For recordings, list the format you accessed specifically. If you accessed the music online, include the date you accessed it. For example: Knowles-Carter, Beyoncé and James Blake. "Freedom." Lemonade, Parkwood Entertainment, 2016. Online, www.beyonce.com/album/lemonade-visual-album/, accessed January 9, 2017. Whenever you mention the song in your paper, you'll need a parenthetical citation to direct your readers to the full citation in your "Works Cited" at the end of your paper.  Use the name you used in your full citation. Just use...

If you're using a gas grill, turn the burners to high. To heat a charcoal grill, fill a chimney with briquettes and light them. Dump the briquettes in the bottom grill grate once they become hot and lightly covered with ash. Then, set the top grill grate on the grill. If you use a charcoal grill, the chorizo links will get an extra-smoky flavor. Arrange the chorizo links so they're at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. This will allow air to circulate between them and they'll cook evenly. Put the lid on the grill to keep your grill hot. If you'd like to serve more people, double or triple the recipe. Use tongs to turn the chorizo about every 5 minutes so they brown on all sides. Once you've grilled them for 30 minutes, insert an instant-read meat thermometer into a link. Remove the chorizo links once they reach 160 °F (71 °C). If the links aren't fully cooked, check them again after 5 minutes. Use the tongs to take the links off of the grill and set them on a cutting board or serving plate. Cover them loosely with aluminum foil and leave them for 5 minutes so the juices redistribute within the meat. Then, serve the chorizo in a bun as a sandwich or slice the links to serve them with grilled vegetables. Refrigerate leftover chorizo links for up to 4 days in an airtight container.

If you see it, buy it (and, optionally, trim the fat when you get it home) and skip ahead to cook it.  It will typically come with a seasoning packet, which is typically very good, so all you'll need to add is vegetables!  If you don't, and don't want to wait for St. Patrick's Day (or whenever, if at all, it may be "in season" locally), buy raw material to make your own.  This section is usually not sold in supermarkets but it is more tender. Choose a large brisket, but keep in mind how big your roasting pan and pot are. Briskets can weigh up to 18 lbs. (8kg). However, most people cook a brisket between 6 and 10 lbs. (2.7 to 1.5kg). It is good to have a little fat on the side, but large amounts of fat will turn to gelatin in the cooking process. Excess fatty tissue will be soft and flakes off easily when cooked - much less unappealing than typical with beef.

TL;DR in English: A fresh cut of already-corned beef, typically brisket, is most practical if available. Peruse your local butcher's shop or supermarket for brisket or navel. Choose "navel," if you have access to a good butcher who can prepare it especially for you. Select a whole brisket, sometimes called a "packer brisket" at the store. Trim the excess fat from your brisket.

This pattern is a simple and versatile style. You can find different variations of outlines that range in width and length. Simply print out the one you prefer and make sure that it is the classic tie pattern and has a diamond cut at the bottom. If you're using a fabric other than silk, you should preshrink it by washing and drying it before you iron. This will ensure the fabric doesn't shrink if you have the tie steamed or washed. If the interfacing has not been preshrunk, preshrink it by soaking it in hot water for 10 minutes, then letting it dry and running an iron over it.

Use dark splashes of color on wall sections if the majority of your walls are kept white.     Paint walls bright colors such as burgundy, green or chocolate brown and complement those colors with lighter furnishings or light trim.    For example, paint the living room area brown and your bedroom or sleeping area light blue. You can utilize color with your furnishings, accessories and carpets as well as your walls. Select throw rugs that contrast with your carpet or walls. For example, a bright red rug against a white or beige floor will really get attention. A dark set of curtains or drapes against a light wall can create a beautiful, well put together effect. Not only will mirrors make your basement apartment look bigger, they will reflect the colors you have in your place.

Using a towel or oven mitt, take the bowl out of the microwave. Use a slotted spoon to add the eggs one by one. Make sure each is covered completely by the water. Don't drop the eggs directly into the water. Not only can they break when they hit the bottom, but they can also splash boiling-hot water upward. Once all the eggs are added, cover the bowl with a lid or a plate. Let it sit — the eggs will cook in the heat of the near-boiling water. Your cooking time will vary depending on how hard you want your eggs. In general, you should expect your eggs to take slightly more time than they would on the stove. This is because they did not have a chance to cook while the water was heating up.   If you like your eggs soft-boiled, let them sit for 10 minutes or less. The yolk should still be somewhat runny.  If you like your eggs medium-boiled, let them sit for about 15 minutes. The yolk should be semi-soft and the whites should be quite firm.  If you like your eggs hard-boiled, let them sit for 20 minutes or more. The white and yolk should be completely firm without being an unappealing grey-green color.

TL;DR in English: Remove the bowl and carefully add the eggs. Cover the bowl and let sit.

Follow the advice under Preparing for the Interview thoroughly. The more work you do beforehand, the more confident you'll be. Don't leave everything to the morning before if you want to make a good impression.  The advice under the Preparing section includes information on everything from doing research days in advance, to calming your nerves a few minutes before the interview. This section covers the interview itself, starting with introducing yourself and ending with how to follow up afterwards. Greet them confidently, without mumbling, and make eye contact. Shake their hand firmly but don't crush it, unless you live in an area where a different greeting is more common between business contacts. Consider waiting while standing up in the few minutes before the interviewer shows up. It's easier to make a good impression when you're not struggling out of a comfy chair. This won't make or break a job, so feel free to sit down if your knees are shaking or your legs need the rest. You should never appear sad or grim. Try to turn every question into a positive, even ones that touch on depressing subjects such as losing your last job. It's great if you and the interviewer are getting along, but don't go too far and start chatting instead of answering questions.   When discussing losing a job, use comments such as "I'm glad of the experience I got there." or "And now I'm free to apply to great companies like this one." Don't crack jokes during an interview. It's hard to predict how a stranger will react to your humor. You should focus on the questions you are asked and how they relate to the job you're applying for. Be especially cautious about sharing potentially controversial information such as religious beliefs or hobbies.  Prepare responses beforehand in case you are asked personal questions. Try deflecting them with responses such as "My (health / family situation / hobby) will not affect my ability to perform this job." or "I have a rich (background / set of life experiences / world view) that adds a lot to...

You may struggle to feel laid back if you're overcommitted. Prioritizing what truly matters to you can help you simplify your life. This will reduce stress and may result in you having a more relaxed, laid back approach to life.  Consider how you spend most of your time. Try writing a list of everything you do during the course of a day and roughly how much time that all takes up. How much time are you spending doing what you want? Compare that to how much time you spend on errands, events, and other tasks you feel you have to do.  Is there anything you could stand to do less? Are there any events or activities you pack into your life that aren't particularly fulfilling or personally important to you?  It's perfectly okay to work at a pace that seems comfortable and reasonable for you. You may think you have to put in overtime hours each week to make more money, but are you really getting to enjoy that money? Try to spend your time more wisely, giving yourself space to rest and relax. Many people who consider themselves high-strung or overstressed have trouble saying "No." It's important to remember that just because you can do something does not mean you have to do something. An important step to becoming laid back is accepting that it's okay to tell someone "No."  It's very difficult to be laid back if you have no time for yourself. Many people feel obligated to say yes when a friend asks a favor or when an organization needs volunteers. There's nothing wrong with wanting to help out, but before agreeing to something pause and ask yourself if you really have time. If you're already suffer from a lack of downtime, sometimes it's okay to give yourself some needed rest and relaxation.  You'll actually find it's easier to accomplish things if you commit yourself to less. Needlessly packing your schedule means your energy will be spread out across 10 different tasks. Instead, pick one or two tasks to focus on and do a really good job. The pressure to be perceived as successful often translates to feeling a need...

With adults, it is advised that you do not feed the bird at all, especially if you are uncertain of its species or its dietary requirements. Furthermore, if injured, it may not be able to handle solid foods. If you must feed the bird and are absolutely positive that it can handle solid foods, be sure to locate the appropriate food for their species. Consult a vet or wild bird center for advice.  Insect eaters can be fed mealworms or small crickets but not thick worms (like earthworms) or ants. Seed eaters can be fed a fortified mix, such as a fortified cockatiel seed mix. Fruit eaters can be fed berries or diced fruits. Be sure to cut it up for them. Nestlings require soft foods. In the wild, chicks would be fed regurgitated foods by their parent. You can replicate this by feeding the bird wet canned dog or cat food. You can also soak dry dog or cat food in water to make it mushy.  Baby bird formula may be available at your local pet store. Do not feed your chick birdseed, sugar water, or bread. These are extremely unhealthy for baby birds and may result in the chick becoming malnourished. Nestlings will need to be fed with a syringe. Feeding syringes can be found at your local pet store or at a drug store in the baby section.  Fill the syringe with wet canned dog, cat, or jars of mushy baby food (preferably fruit). Make sure not to shove the eye dropper down the chick's throat. It could choke them. If you cannot find a feeding syringe, you can also use a toothpick. Skewer the food on the pick. Be careful not to stab the chick as you feed it. Baby birds will eat every fifteen to twenty minutes from dawn to dusk. When hungry, they should call for you with an open mouth. Do not feed them until they exhibit this behavior. At night, the baby birds may not call for food; this is normal. That said, if you have a bird under a week old, it may call for food every few hours in the night. You may feed the bird again if this happens.  The bird’s crop (or bottom of their throat) may expand as they eat. This is normal. As...

If you'd like your sand dollars to be whiter, or you're having trouble cleaning them with water alone, you may consider using bleach. Mix equal amounts of bleach and water. and gently place your sand dollars into the solution.  If you're cleaning a number of sand dollars, fill a baking tray with the bleach-and-water solution. This will allow you to spread a number of sand dollars evenly over a broad surface. Make sure that there's enough solution in the tray to cover the entire sand dollar. You can also use a bowl, a bucket, or a Tupperware container. If you're only cleaning one sand dollar, find a small bowl, lid, or other container. You won't need much bleach to get the intended effect. Be careful not to soak the sand dollars in bleach for too long: the shell will begin to soften and disintegrate if it's left in too strong of a solution. If you want to soak the shells for a longer period, reduce the bleach concentration. Be careful when handling bleach. Don't get bleach in your eyes, and don't swallow the solution. Wash your hands with soap after any contact with bleach. Move the sand dollars from the bleach solution into a bowl or tray of fresh water.  The bleach may continue to disintegrate the shell even after you've removed the sand dollar from the solution. Rinse the bleached shell thoroughly in fresh water to neutralize the bleach solution and remove any remaining dirt. When you're sure that the sand dollar is clean, leave it out to dry. Within a few hours it should be ready to decorate, display, or store as a keepsake. Sand dollars will harden over time, but you should continue to handle them carefully. This may come in handy if you plan to use if for craft projects, or if you want to display it without worrying about breaking it.  Mix together equal portions of water and white craft glue. Use a sponge brush or a paintbrush to completely cover the sand dollar with the mixture. Let the shell dry, and the glue solution will harden like a glaze. Sand dollars will harden naturally, over time, the drier...

TL;DR in English: Soak the sand dollars in a bleach solution. Rinse after bleaching. Consider hardening the sand dollar with glue.

If you have access to a dishwasher, you can simply place your stainless steel water bottle in the dishwasher along with the rest of your dishes when you’re ready to wash a load.  Place the bottle in the dishwasher upside down with its lid off.  Place any detachable parts – a lid or straw, for instance – in the dishwasher as well.  Add an appropriate amount of dishwasher detergent, close the dishwasher and run a regular cycle. Before placing your stainless steel water bottle in the dishwasher, check it for confirmation that it is dishwasher safe.  For instance, the bottom of the bottle might read, “Dishwasher safe.”  Bottles that are painted or insulated are probably not dishwasher safe. Fill the stainless steel water bottle to about 1/5 of its capacity with white vinegar.  Fill it the rest of the way with water.  Let the water bottle sit overnight.  In the morning, pour the vinegar/water mix out.  Rinse the bottle thoroughly with water, then turn it upside down in your dishrack to air dry. Add one teaspoon of bleach and one teaspoon of baking soda to your water bottle.  Fill it the rest of the way with water.  Let the water bottle sit overnight.  Empty the contents the next day, then rinse it thoroughly with water.  Turn it upside down to let it air dry. This cleaning method is effective for stainless steel water bottles that have developed a stench.

An early symptom of an ingrown toenail is tender, red skin. However, you will see a marked increase in redness around the area if the toenail progresses to an infection. You may feel a warm to hot feeling around your toenail if it becomes infected. A throbbing pain may accompany the increase in temperature around your toenail as well. If the infection worsens or is left untreated, you may develop a fever. Look for pus under the skin near your nail. Pus is a sure sign of an infection. A bad odor may accompany an infected toenail that is secreting pus as well. An infected ingrown toenail may look as if red skin is surrounding a light colored area of skin (whitish in color). If you have an infection, then you will need to contact your doctor. Your doctor will be able to diagnose and treat the infection. Treatment depends on severity and can consist of soaking the feet in warm water, antibiotics, or removal of the ingrown toenail if the infection is severe.  Contact your doctor or podiatrist immediately if you have diabetes or AIDS, suffer from poor blood circulation, are on chemotherapy, or have a weakened immune system. Other reasons to see your doctor include persistent or chronic problems with ingrown toenails, if you have diabetes, a compromised immune system, or a condition affecting the nerves or the sensation in your feet, or if you have signs of infection, such as pus, redness, pain, or swelling.

Second-degree burns are more severe than first-degree burns because they extend past the epidermis and into the lower layer of skin (the dermis). This doesn't necessarily mean they need medical care. The burns will be a dark red and will produce blisters on the skin. They are more swollen and splotchy than first-degree, with more reddened skin, which may look wet or shiny. The burned area itself may look white or discolored.  If the burn is larger than 3 inches, treat as third-degree and seek medical attention immediately.  Common causes of second-degree burns including scalding, flame, contact with a very hot object, bad sunburn, chemical burns, and electrical burns. Burns can cause swelling, which could cause jewelry on the burned hand to become uncomfortably tight, cut off proper circulation, or dig into the skin. Remove any jewelry on the burned hand, such as rings or bracelets. Treatment for second-degree burns is almost the same as first degree burns. When the burn occurs, quickly but calmly get to a sink and put your hand or arm under the cold water for 15-20 minutes. This will help pull heat away from the skin and reduce inflammation. If blisters are present, do not pop them. They help the skin heal. Popping them can introduce infection and delay healing time. Don't apply butter or ice to the burn. Also, do not blow on the burn because it can increase your likelihood of infection. Because second-degree burns extend further into the skin, the potential for infection is greater. Apply an antibiotic cream to the burned area before bandaging it. Silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene) is a popular antibiotic ointment for burns. It is often available over-the-counter without a prescription. Use a lot of the cream so that it will soak into the skin for a long time. If a blister does pop on its own or by accident, do not panic. Clean it with a mild soap and clean water. Apply an antibiotic ointment and cover the burn with a new bandage. Burn dressings should be changed daily to help prevent infection. Remove the old...

The interest rate is the single most important detail when negotiating a loan. With good credit, banks will more openly compete for a loan. With bad credit, you need to take initiative and negotiate the terms of the agreement by yourself.  Explain any medical bill debt. Many times, lenders are more willing to work with you if your credit score is negatively affected by medical bills. Some lenders even remove medical debt from the equation when calculating your interest rate. Compare multiple quotes. Get a quote from your bank or credit union, and consider getting quotes from other banks and credit unions nearby. There are also many online services that will give you quotes for a home equity loan or line of credit.  Don’t be afraid to turn a lender down. If you don’t like your offer, or you think you can do better, don’t accept it. Patience will help you get a better offer. Make banks compete against each other. Tell your potential lenders that you are shopping around for better rates, as this will provide with some leverage in your negotiation.

When you are working at the computer, rest your eyes for at least 20 seconds by looking at something 20 feet (6 m) away after using the computer for 20 minutes.  If you have a window nearby, looking at something outdoors is a great option.  Alternatively, you can move your eyes from something close to something far away, switching between the two every 10 seconds at least ten times for a little eye “workout.” Some eye strain occurs because you tend to blink less when focusing on something, like your computer screen. Try to be conscious of your blinking while you work, and do it more often. Closing and then rolling your eyes can help lubricate them. It also helps to relax straining muscles. Close your eyes and roll them around in a circular motion. Roll them clockwise, then counter-clockwise. This not only helps relax your eyes but also feels good. After a long period focusing on the screen, take a break to look around the room slowly, keeping your eyes constantly in motion and looking at things that are varying distances from you. Close your eyes and glance up as far as you can without discomfort. Hold your eyes still for a moment, then look down, eyes still closed.  Repeat a few times and then rest your eyes for a moment. Next, keeping your eyes closed like before, look to the right and the left. Repeat. The eye muscle is like a spring that should not be over-extended for long periods of time. Otherwise, it's ability to recoil can weaken. To prevent this, there are several things you can do to relax your eyes. Palming involves resting and warming your eyes using friction heat. Here's how it's done:  Rub your palms together to create some heat. Close your eyes. Put one palm gently over each eye and rest them like this for a few minutes. Re-warm your palms as necessary. Don't push into or jab your eyes too hard, so you don't damage them.

When you play a scale on an English concertina, you’ll have to alternate between your left and right hands to play the notes. Look for a treble concertina to have a similar note range as a violin. Most concertinas have 48 keys, but some models will have 56 keys with extra notes at the top of the scale. An English concertina makes the same note when you open and close the bellows, but an Anglo will make different sounds. Anglo concertinas also separate the low notes on the left side and the high notes on the right, making it easier to find the notes. Anglo concertinas come in 20-key, 30-key, and 40-key variations. A 20-key concertina limits the notes you can play, but it may be a good start if you’re a beginner. Duet concertinas come in many varieties with a different number of keys and layouts. The main draw for a duet concertina is being able to play melodies with 1 hand and an accompaniment on the other with ease, similar to an Anglo concertina. Some duet concertinas have up to 80 keys, giving them nearly the full range of a piano.

TL;DR in English: Get an English concertina to play the original instrument. Use an Anglo concertina to have an easier time playing. Try a duet concertina if you’re an advanced player.

Before you jump straight into distressing, run a sanding block or sheet of high-grit sandpaper over the entire piece. A thorough sanding will open up the pores in the wood and help the paint hold better. This translates to a longer-lasting finish that, ironically, will have no problem standing the test of time.  Sand with a gentle circular motion, starting in a central spot and gradually working your way outward. Fold the sandpaper over squared edges and slide the entire sheet back and forth using smooth strokes. A shade like white, eggshell or opal will work best. Don’t get too heavy-handed with the first coat—you just need to get the paint onto the piece, not achieve total coverage.  Work the base coat into corners, grooves and other hard-to-reach areas using the tip of your brush. Lighter colors will be more visible under additional coats of paint, enhancing the effect. Leave the painted piece in a cool, dry place as it dries. This will usually take 8-10 hours, but you might want to wait up to 24 hours to ensure that the paint has had ample time to set. Once it has fully cured, you can move onto the next phase of the project.  Avoid handling the painted wood while it dries. If you’d rather show off the natural wood grain than a separate layer of paint, feel free to skip straight to the distressing phase. Choose a bolder color for the topcoat that will stand in contrast to the lighter base coat underneath. This time, paint the entire piece. Use multiple coats to reach the desired depth and smoothness.  Change up the direction of your strokes to work the paint into tiny crevices and other textured areas. To underscore the vintage aesthetic, go with a topcoat in a faded-looking pastel shade, such as brick red, powder yellow or robin’s egg blue. Wet a rag or soft kitchen scrubber and wring out the excess water. Use the rag or scrubber to smudge the paint while it’s still slightly sticky to the touch. Doing so will expose the lighter paint underneath, which creates the illusion that the piece has been repainted...

TL;DR in English: Sand the wooden surface lightly. Paint the piece in a light color. Allow the base coat to dry completely. Brush on a second coat of paint. Wipe the paint with a damp cloth.

Ask the audience’s position on a particular topic to get a sense of where your audience is coming from. This helps the audience get invested in the information you’re sharing and makes it relevant for them.  For a speech about how to winterize your car, you could ask the audience something like, “How many of you have ever felt your car slipping on an icy street? Or who here has had their car stall on the side of the road during freezing temperatures?” By asking the audience a question about your topic, you engage them almost instantly. The audience members will hear the question and begin to ponder their own answers, thereby becoming involved in the topic of your speech. If you are giving a speech about holiday traditions, you could ask, “What was your favorite holiday tradition growing up?” Lead your audience through a very brief visualization exercise to inspire their imagination as it pertains to your topic. They may not remember your words as much as the images that were evoked in their minds during this part of the speech. For example, if you’re giving a speech about booking a dream vacation, you might start with: “Imagine you are on a tropical beach. Feel the sand under your feet and the sun beating down on your shoulders. You can hear the ocean waves and wind swishing through the palm trees.” When people listen to a speech, they often are looking for answers to questions that they have. Giving your audience the opportunity to ask questions up front can help shape your speech and make sure you’re addressing their specific concerns. If you’re giving a speech about teaching online classes versus in-person classes, you might ask, “What’s your biggest concern about teaching an online class?” Call on a few people to hear their concerns. Chances are, you’ll be addressing their concerns in your speech already. Start off your speech by asking your audience to share something with their neighbor. This breaks the ice, making a more friendly and communal learning environment. You might say to the audience, “Turn...
